Chapter 257: Your Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo in person
When the news reached the Weiguo Mansion, Li Dejian was eating, and when he heard that Li Chengqian had rebelled and was arrested, his frightened hand shook and the bowl fell to the ground, and his face turned pale: "How is it possible?" The prince would have rebelled? As long as he waits, isn't the throne his? ”
Li Jing scolded angrily: "You don't have any concentration at all, what's the use of you?" I don't have any eyesight to be a person and see things, my brother persuaded you, and you still muttered in private, now that things are out of the way, I'm afraid that it will be like this, how did I, Li Jing, give birth to such an uncompetitive thing as you. ”
Zhang Chuchen persuaded: "Suffer a loss and grow wise, you are also such a big person, before doing things."
You can't make more observations. You see that your father is hiding at home and not going out, just you are swaggering outside all day long, and now you are being taken down by others""Ditch knows that you are afraid? ”
Li Dejian had no opinions, that is, he was a gentleman who ate, drank and had fun, and hurriedly said: "Please ask my father to save me!" ”
"Save you? Are you sick in the head? At this time, who is not hiding far away, and if you let me come forward to intercede for you, is it equivalent to telling Your Majesty that our family is also involved? Li Jing was really angry at this time, and directly smashed a teacup: "Are you afraid that our family will not die!" ”
"Alright, alright!" Zhang Chuchen pulled the angry Li Jing to the side and glanced at his son: "Go back to your own yard quickly, you have recently gotten closer to them, and after listening to Dongsheng's advice, you have cut off contact for the past two months." There should be no problem. ”
The courtiers have been concentrated in the main hall, and no matter what happens, the court meeting will be held. Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown on his head, and turned around from behind the dragon chair and sat up.
The atmosphere of the court meeting was very solemn, and everyone tried to shrink back as much as possible, so as not to enter the emperor's sight at this time. After waiting for the three shouts, a little eunuch stepped forward and began to read out the edict of the abolished crown prince loudly, anyway, it is the kind of crime that Li Chengqian said is heinous, and it is not enough to vent the anger of the people if he does not kill, and everyone here is not good-looking, and it is not good for you to say that your son is like that. But if you don't say this, you can't prove the legitimacy of the abolished prince, everyone knows it, anyway, it's your family matter, you can toss it.
The little eunuch's decree came to the final word: "...... It is advisable to abolish the Qianqian as a concubine. Hearing this result, the ministers were surprised, since ancient times, as long as there is a rebellion, they are basically killed, whether it is their own brothers and nephews or something, this is a red line, this time Li Shimin only abolished Li Chengqian as a concubine, it seems that His Majesty has no intention of killing his own son, it is not easy, he is the one who rebelled and sat on the dragon chair, it stands to reason that he is most guarded against is such a thing, everyone is surprised.
The next holy decree was cruel and bloody, and the accomplices who participated in the rebellion, Li Yuanchang, and Du Heci, who committed suicide, Zhao Jie, Li Anyan, etc., were all beheaded and displayed to the public, and even the nine clans, Zhang Xuansu, Du Zhenglun, and other subordinates of the East Palace, supervised the prince to be dismissed from office and imprisoned, and the Marquis of Chen Guo was involved in the matter, deprived of the title and imprisoned, and there were courtiers from the original prince's camp who were dismissed from office and exiled.
Although Li Dejian was at home, he sent a small servant to find out the news, and when he heard that those familiar drinking friends were beheaded and exiled, he panicked in his heart, this matter must be implicated, maybe he will be implicated one day. He went to find Li Dongsheng, and Li Dongsheng talked to him deeply and told him that as long as he waited, he would not die anyway, but he would definitely be degraded far away. Get him ready to go out.
The boots soon hit the ground, and a decree came, and Li Dejian was exiled to Lingnan. In addition to him, a large number of gentlemen and generals who had a good relationship with Li Chengqian were also demoted out of the capital. They are still lucky, and the family members of those masterminds are the real miserable. For example, Du He, his family is illustrious, and the saint Enlong, is the second son of a generation of famous Du Ruhui, his eldest brother Du Gou inherited the title, Du He also named the Duke of Xiangyang County, Li Shimin is really good to his family. After such a famous minister, I don't know how to rebel with Li Chengqian, when Du He was beheaded, the entire Du family was also unlucky, everyone didn't know what was going on, the whole house was confiscated, his eldest brother Du Gou was removed from the knighthood and exiled to Lingnan, Du Ruhui never thought that the glory he had earned all his life would end without inheritance for two generations.
Other accomplices like Zhao Jie and Li Anyan, their family members and relatives are naturally not much better, and they are basically from the Zhujiu clan. Moreover, in such a case, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are all handling it bigger, otherwise how can they show their attention. Therefore, the factions in the court took advantage of this reason to start a round of large-scale purges, and all the courtiers who had some slight relationship with Li Chengqian were locked up and imprisoned.
A turnip and a pit, the officials have been arrested so much, what to do with the vacant positions? Then make up for it! There is not much in China, but there are many people who are officials. At this time, Li Tai, the biggest beneficiary of the prince's rebellion, appeared as the king of Wei, and he quickly gained Li Shimin's trust, so Li Tai desperately appointed the courtiers of his camp, with Li Shimin's acquiescence, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji were also happy to do this favor, and it seems that it is estimated that the next prince will be him, so Li Tai only needs to nominate and be satisfied.
After a few months of chaos, Li Dongsheng didn't go anywhere at home. The court was busy filling in the radish pit, and he seemed to have forgotten about it. He is also happy to be like this, Li Shimin can't think of him for the rest of his life. Now I play mahjong at home every day, and then train my son and have sex with one wife and two concubines. This is the most comfortable time since he traveled through the Tang Dynasty, what country, career, and people are all thrown aside, and he just lives his own small life wholeheartedly. Sometimes it's nice to think about it for the rest of your life, if only there wasn't that damn emperor.
Li Ting and Mu Zhonghai are in the cotton cloth business, and now the supply is in short supply. The careers of the two of them have reached a new level, and they are busy every day, except for the reports sent every month. The normal correspondence is Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu, they come from time to time to have an autumn breeze, and then pass the latest news from the court.
"Do you know, after the crown prince was imprisoned, His Majesty recently issued an order to exile him to Qianzhou, and he will be on his way in a few days." As soon as Wei Shuyu sat down, he told Li Dongsheng the exciting news.
"Exile in Qianzhou?" Li Dongsheng was a little distracted, he knew where Li Chengqian died in just two years. A prince's rebellion case is over, but there is still a thunder that has not exploded, and the court of the Tang Dynasty will continue to be chaotic for a while.
Li Chengqian was already in the past, so Wei Shuyu said a word and didn't mention it again. He said the theme of today's visit: "Recently, the court has been arguing like crazy, and His Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo in person. ”
