Chapter Ninety-Nine: It's Too late to repent
Pei Min saw that Li Longji was at this time, and asked him to take over the itinerary of Feng Chan, and he also understood the holy will of the Sacred Heart.
Wang Maozhong and the rest of his party were wiped out, but he was deeply rooted in the military for six years, and there were countless junior and medium-level generals and colonels promoted by him.
Li Longji can take his leaders, but he can't wipe them out.
If Wang Maozhong's remnants are really removed, there will be too many vacancies.
Once these soldiers are out of control, people will be terrified.
Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial city is the symbol of the Li Tang royal family.
This is what the law does not blame the public.
Li Longji's next action was not to exterminate those small and medium-level generals who were subordinate to Wang Maozhong.
On the contrary, it is necessary to appease their restless hearts and maintain the basic operation of the Southern and Northern Forbidden Army.
After the new generals grasp the situation, they will settle accounts one by one, and eliminate the unqualified junior and middle-level generals with two hearts.
It's going to take a long time.
Feng Chan is imminent, Li Longji obviously can't wait for that time, and he doesn't believe that the shrimp soldiers and crabs left by Wang Maozhong will be able to complete the important task of Feng Chan's guard.
At this critical time, Pei Min took the burden without hesitation, and responded: "The minister obeys the order and promises to do his best to protect His Majesty's safety." β
The person who can accept the task of Feng Chan guard in a short period of time and successfully complete it, in Li Longji's heart at this moment, Pei Min is the only candidate.
Li Longji looked at Pei Min with satisfaction, at this critical time, Pei Min was still reliable, and said bluntly: "How many soldiers do you need to transfer from Longyou?" My pro-guards this time are mainly the Longyou Army, supplemented by the soldiers under Yang Siqiao. β
Pei Min replied without thinking: "Three hundred is enough." β
"Three hundred? Will it be too little? Li Longji looked at Pei Min with some surprise.
Pei Min smiled confidently: "A lot, enough!" β
Li Longji was still a little jealous in his heart, but he didn't want to weaken his momentum in front of Pei Min, a courtier, at most, let Yang Siqiao bring more soldiers and horses, and said calmly: "Then my life will be handed over to Jingyuan!" β
Time was pressing, Pei Min did not delay, and began to take over Wang Maozhong's work.
Looking at Wang Maozhong's sealing arrangement, Pei Min almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Wang Maozhong's arrangement for Li Longji's canonization of Zen is as simple and rude as his person.
To describe it in four words, it is "a strong wall and a clear wilderness", wherever Li Longji appears, the people are not allowed to appear.
The forbidden army blocked the road and forcibly dispersed the people, creating an uninhabited space to ensure Li Longji's safety.
This from Chang'an to Mount Tai, nearly more than 1,000 miles of official road, along the way to pass through Hangu Pass, Luoyang, Hujiao Pass, Bianzhou, Caozhou, Yanzhou across the Central Plains.
If you really follow Wang Maozhong's plan, God knows how many people will be inevitably harmed along the way.
This is simply how to disturb the people, how to come.
Completely disregarding people's livelihood.
The little sympathy for Wang Maozhong also disappeared.
He has already gotten inside information that Wang Maozhong will inevitably die after all.
Huo Guogong, who was rampant and domineering in Chang'an in the past, no longer has arrogance, and his face is decaying.
Wang Maozhong went from a first-class official, a general of the auxiliary state, a general of Zuo Wuwei, a stable inside and outside the inspection school and a priest of the superintendent, and Huo Guogong, and suddenly became a five-grade official, and he was at the same level as his infant son, and his heart was sad and angry, which can be imagined.
Even now, Wang Maozhong doesn't believe that he will fall to this point.
He tried every means to see Li Longji and explain to him that he was not complaining about the official at all, but simply jealous of Gao Lishi's favor.
But all the roads he could get to Li Longji were blocked.
Wang Maozhong has offended too many people.
People are pushed by people.
Wenchen regarded Wang Maozhong as a minister, and the generals did not want Wang Maozhong to come back to seize their power, and as for the eunuchs, they were eager to eat Wang Maozhong's flesh and gnaw his bones one by one.
Therefore, whether it is a civil servant, a military general, or even a eunuch, they are unwilling to see Wang Maozhong make a comeback.
Wang Maozhong's confession reached Li Longji's ears in another form.
Everyone unanimously showed that Wang Maozhong not only did not have the slightest intention of repenting during the escort, but scolded and scolded Li Longji.
said that Li Longji was ungrateful, and without him Wang Mao Zhong, Li Longji would not be qualified to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty at all, nor would he be qualified to sit on the throne.
Wang Maozhong's "words" are not false at all.
Tang Long's coup d'Γ©tat, Wang Maozhong's Wan Qi was Li Longji's winner.
Although Wang Maozhong was timid during the coup, he fled from the battle, abandoning Li Longji's safety.
But Li Longji did rely on the Wan Qi attracted by Wang Maozhong to get rid of Empress Wei, Zong Chuke, Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu and Shangguan Wan'er.
As for the congenital coup, the three hundred soldiers under Wang Maozhong were also the key to forcing the Yulin army to surrender.
But because this is a fact, Li Longji can't tolerate Wang Maozhong even more.
Proud of one's achievements, more arrogant than pampered, and even more intolerable to the king.
Li Longji already had a killing intent against Wang Maozhong, and under the encouragement of everyone, he strengthened his heart to kill Wang Maozhong, and directly added a will, "Wang Maozhong does not repent and gives death." β
Wang Maozhong was escorted all the way to Yongzhou.
Hearing the "Holy Decree" from afar, Wang Maozhong was ecstatic with excitement, and exclaimed with his hands dancing: "Did you see it, did you see it, I knew that Your Majesty would not treat me like this, and Your Majesty must have regretted it." Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows that he is wrong......"
He crawled in front of the messenger, he had never been so religious.
Only when you have lost can you know how to cherish it.
That's true!
It's just a pity that it's too late.
It's obviously a good hand, but it makes him play poorly!
When Bai Aya was put around his neck, Wang Maozhong finally had a feeling called "regret".
It's just too late to regret it.
Hearing that Wang Maozhong hanged him on the way, Pei Min could only sigh, "self-inflicted". Then he returned to the guard arrangement of Feng Zen.
It is impossible to complete the official road for more than 1,000 miles without disturbing the people, but how to maximize the non-disturbance of the people and ensure the safety of Li Longji is Pei Min's current headache.
For this reason, Pei Min specially approached Song Jing and Zhang Shuo to discuss the matter together, with the help of their wisdom.
When the emperor travels, the officials who usually escort him are concerned about the emperor's safety.
As long as the emperor is safe, they will do their best.
As for whether to disturb the people, this is not the duty of the guards at all.
The guards don't need to worry about this, but Pei Min takes the people into account.
Song Jing and Zhang Shuo were greatly moved.
Originally, they still thought that Pei Min, a foreign minister, had interfered in the affairs of the DPRK and China, which was a little inappropriate.
But seeing that Pei Min was so serious about spending his mind for the people and taking on a responsibility that did not belong to him, he was impressed one after another, and they were all called "Pei Gong", and they discussed it seriously.
