Chapter 426: Dog-eat-Dog Arrangement
Li Shimin watched Li Zhi walk out with an extremely complicated expression, and then thought that Li Chengqian went to Yichuan County without saying a word, Li Shimin was really a little disheartened.
Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang and others were worried about Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.
After a while, Li Shimin saw that all the ministers looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, and said happily: "It's not that the prince doesn't understand military affairs, you don't have to worry too much, he is now in charge of the country, you send someone to ask him what he wants to do." ”
After that, he waved his hand and let the ministers out.
The ministers walked out of Li Shimin's dormitory with their hearts, and they couldn't help but sigh deeply, knowing that this matter was not over. Li Shimin's breath must come out, and Li Chengqian will inevitably find it back if Zhou Jin folds.
"Master Chu, in my opinion, it is better for you to bring two thousand Luoyang garrisons to join His Royal Highness the Prince."
Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Without further ado, there is an order from Lao Ma Zhongshu!" I'm going to Yichuan County tonight. ”
"It's better for the Luoyang Assassin Mansion to send troops!" Dai Zhide's face turned pale.
At this time, Dai Zhide had no hope at all.
Ma Zhou's expression turned cold when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "The people of Yichuan Song County rebelled, and Dai Tingshi, as a local governor, may not be able to get rid of it, so go back to the house and think about the past." ”
Dai Zhide looked at Ma Zhou's cold expression, looked back at the gate and his lips trembled for a while, and finally bowed to Ma Zhou, turned around and left.
Ma Zhou, as the Zhongshu Ling and Dai Zhide's Luozhou Assassin History, are both civil officials of the third grade, but Ma Zhou belongs to the prime minister level, and he ordered Dai Zhide to think about it behind closed doors, and Dai Zhide can only obey orders.
Liu Zheng looked at Dai Zhide's distant back, and motioned to the people around him to follow him to monitor.
Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang saw it as if they didn't see it.
Ma Zhou's temporary office is next to the courtyard where Li Shimin lives, and Liu Zheng is also here as a member of the Zhongshu House.
A few people walked in, and Ma Zhou went to arrange the transfer order.
Chu Suiliang arched his hand towards Liu Zheng and said: "Brother Liu, I will lead the troops to the past, one is to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quell the rebellion, and the other is to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to be rash. ”
Liu Zheng understood that Yu Suiliang was persuading Li Chengqian not to fall out with Li Shimin because of Zhou Jin's death, and said thoughtfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is anxious, and there is Brother Lao Chu." ”
Chu Sui sighed in his conscience and continued: "Brother Liu is in Luoyang, and he also wants to fight for Zhou Jin [ ] to get the grief he deserves." We were on an errand in the East Palace together, and Zhou Jin had no merit or fault, so he died, if we couldn't win the honor he and his family deserved. Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not follow, even the people of the world and future generations will scold us. ”
Liu Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "This matter is naturally up to me, but if Zhou Jin is too glorious, Your Majesty's face may not look good." ”
When Chu Suiliang was about to speak, he saw Ma Zhou take the written order, and came over and said, "Master Chu will go to His Majesty's Court with me first." ”
Chu Suiliang knew that since it involved the transfer of troops, Ma Zhou wrote the transfer order and asked Li Shimin to give him a fish talisman in order to mobilize the troops and horses. However, this time I just sent the transfer order to Li Shimin to see, and then took the fish talisman to transfer troops, and I may not be able to see Li Shimin again.
Ma Zhou's order was handed in, and soon Li Shimin approved it, not only to the tiger talisman, but also to send Zuo Weiwei Zhonglang to buy Xi Jun and lead the troops.
Chu Suiliang and Xi Jun bought and went to the barracks in the city to order soldiers.
In the afternoon, Li Shimin issued an order to posthumously seal Zhou Jin's actual position as the imperial history Zhongcheng, and the scattered official as the Zhongsan doctor, both of which are positions on the fifth grade, which are eight official ranks higher than the original Zhan Shisi of Zhou Jin's seventh grade.
At the same time, Li Shimin decreed that Zhou Jin's funeral was solemnly handled by the Ministry of Rites, and Enyin Zhou Jin's son, Zuo Wei, who was under the eighth grade, led Zuo Sige.
Ma Zhou looked at the draft decree and said to Liu Zheng, Gao Jifu and the others: "Your Majesty's grace to Zhou Jin is so over-specified, which shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the East Palace, so don't say anything." ”
Liu Gao and the others glanced at each other, and they both nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin was also very satisfied with this, thinking that even if Li Chengqian was satisfied.
------------------------
Late at night.
Chu Suiliang and Xi Junmai came to Yichuan City, and Xue Rengui asked people to use baskets to hang Yu Suiliang into Yichuan City, and they didn't see Li Chengqian until the morning of the second day.
"Minister, Chu Suiliang, see His Royal Highness the Prince." Chu Suiliang saluted respectfully.
"Flat!" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Chu, when King Gu was in Chang'an, he ordered you to go to Jiangnan to inspect, why did you come to Yichuan again?" Li Chengqian did not give Chu Suiliang a chance to speak.
"Minister......" Chu Suiliang was speechless for a while.
"Okay, since the soldiers have been brought, let's go back to Luoyang and take all the superintendents to Jiangnan with the imperial history." Li Chengqian did not give Chu Suiliang a chance.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is from Luoyang, and there are some things that need to be reported to His Royal Highness the Prince." Chu Suiliang said busily.
Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and he agreed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhou Jin is dead......"
After listening to Chu Suiliang's account of what happened when Zhou Jin died, Li Chengqian closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said: "The Lone King knows, the matter of Luoyang, the Lone King has his own decision, you take the people to Jiangnan quickly, don't get involved in this battle." ”
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?" Chu Suiliang was a little unclear.
Li Chengqian was too cold to him today.
Li Chengqian glanced at Chu Suiliang and reminded him: "Before King Jing rebelled, King Gu specially ordered someone to break Wei Shuyu's leg......"
Chu Suiliang was so smart that he immediately realized: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you let the ministers out, so that the ministers can jump out of Luoyang, the land of right and wrong?"
Li Chengqian nodded silently and said: "After the change of Xuanwumen, although Your Majesty was victorious, but it was a big disappointment, the stability of the world is thanks to Wei Zheng and the Shandong Shi clan, and now the lonely king has gone to Luoyang, and the Shandong Shi clan is no longer a problem, but Jiangnan still needs to be stable." ”
"Obey the order!"
Chu Suiliang almost burst into tears when he heard this.
Chu Suiliang was moved to tears for gaining Li Chengqian's trust and reuse, and Zhou Jin committed suicide in anger because he was despised by Li Shimin, which is the positive and negative sides of the same coin.
Li Chengqian read Chu Suiliang's letter, took out a copy of the note he wrote by himself, handed it over, and said: "You go back to Luoyang today and forward this letter to Your Majesty." ”
Chu Suiliang took it and saw that it had been sealed with fire paint, so he took it into his arms, saluted Li Chengqian again, and retired directly.
Li Chengqian watched Chu Suiliang leave, and summoned Xi Junmai again.
"The last general, Xi Junmai, will see His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Flat, give a seat!" Li Chengqian said calmly.
Xi Junmai straightened up and did not sit down, and then hugged his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the rebellion in Yichuan County has been quelled, and the last general asked to lead troops to Song County to quell the rebellion." ”
"No hurry! You just have to camp outside Yichuan City, and when it's time to send troops, King Lone will give the order. Li Chengqian said in an unquestionable tone.
Xi Junmai was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general heard that the demon girl Cai Wenying has been proclaimed emperor, how can the imperial court allow her to be a demon girl rampant?"
"The Lone King has a point, you just have to go down!" Li Chengqian said that, and got up and went out directly.
Li Chengqian not only did not allow Xi Jun to buy troops to quell the rebellion, but even several government soldiers around Luoyang also issued strict orders not to attack Cai Wenying and his gang.
just transferred troops to guard a few granaries near the imperial court, and didn't care about anything else.
He sent his subordinates out to divide the original land and property of the Yichuan County Shi clan, and he himself read and practiced calligraphy in the backyard of the Yichuan County Ya every day, and no one was seen.
After a few days, the property of the Shi clan was divided, so he ordered Xue Dading to take the people to dredge the Yihe River in Yichuan County. Li Chengqian promised the people to dig the canals and give them seeds and farm tools next spring.
These people have their own fields, seeds and farm tools, and their enthusiasm for working one by one is high, and the progress of the project is very fast.
At the same time, Cai Wenying of Song County was not idle, and at the suggestion of Ma Jiu, he went everywhere to attack the Shi clan families near Song County, robbing them of their property and food to feed the members of the Sanming Immortal Sect.
This made the scholars near Song County very frightened, and they united to go to Luoyang to ask for a meeting with Li Shimin, asking the court to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
