Li Siyuan wanted to see what Li Qi said in the letter before making a decision.

It's just that he can't read, so he can only retreat from the dynasty first, find someone to read the belief first, look at the prince's statement, and then discuss the strategy to deal with it.

Li Qi is now living or dying in Jinyang, and they have no good way, they can't raise troops to fight for no reason, so it will become a real rebellion. He also wants to use the banner of the Li family to stabilize the situation in the world.

Lu Huan, as the envoy of the crown prince, was scolded with a cane for no reason, his back and buttocks were beaten to the flesh, and he was sent by Li Qi to a carriage and ordered someone to send it to the post house outside the palace to temporarily recuperate.

Li Siyuan thought that the prince would accuse him in the letter, but who knew that the article was polite and polite, calling him the righteous son of Emperor Wu, and he had always regarded him as an uncle and his own concubine. And praised Li Siyuan's deeds of following two generations of Jin kings to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions. He also said that the Xingjiaomen Rebellion was fortunate to rely on its prestige to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation. He also said that he unfortunately fell from his horse in Chencang, and together with the chaos, he was frightened inexplicably, fell into a head disease, and often had a splitting headache every day, and needed to recuperate with peace of mind. Luoyang's state affairs were all entrusted to his uncle to deal with the country.

His words were sincere and his true feelings were revealed, which made Li Siyuan a little moved.

At the end of the letter, Li Qi put forward two demands: first, to punish Guo Congqian, the culprit of the Xingjiaomen Rebellion, and second, to escort the bones of the former emperor back to Yanmen's grandfather's tomb for burial.

Taichangqing Kong Xun read the prince's letter, but did not speak, just looked at Li Siyuan.

But he listened to An Zhong's teaching: "The prince is cunning, and his words should not be trusted." ”

"Guo Congqian is the first evil of killing the monarch, and he should be punished to show his will to supervise the country." Cui Xie said.

The forbidden army commanded Guo Congqian from Ma Zhi to launch the Xingjiaomen Rebellion, and after Li Siyuan entered the Beijing Division, he did not deal with it, and still held his old position. It's just that he has hundreds of pro-troops under his command, so it's not good to do it directly, otherwise it will cause a mess in Luoyang City.

Li Siyuan looked at An Chongxue: "You can deal with this matter." ”

"That Zhu Shouyin was originally an attendant of the first emperor, he grew up with the first emperor since he was a child, and he commanded the forbidden army, but he sat back and watched the change of the sect, which can be described as two ends of the rat's head and cannot be trusted." An Chongzhi said again.

This Zhu Shouyin has been studying with Li Cunqiao since he was a child, and he has won deep trust, and he is the commander of the forbidden army, and he holds the power of the forbidden army. However, the change of Xingjiaomen and the chaos in the city, Li Cunqiao sent people to summon the forbidden army stationed outside the Xuanren Gate to enter the palace to escort him, but Zhu Shouyin refused to obey the edict, but instead led the troops and hid in the dense forest in the mountains in the north.

This forced Li Cunmiao to personally take the guards around him to quell the rebellion, and was finally injured by the arrow.

At the critical moment, the defection of this cronie was also a major reason for Li Cunqing's death.

Li Siyuan tapped his fingers on the table and groaned: "Zhu Shouyin still has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is difficult to move lightly, so he is temporarily based in Xingyang and is still the commander of the forbidden army." In addition, the prince wants to bury the first emperor in Yanmen, what about this? ”

Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, admonished: "No, if the first emperor is buried, the prince will use the heir to take the throne with a big gift, which can be said to be justifiable to become the emperor." When looking for a place of feng shui, bury the first emperor in Beijing. ”

Li Siyuan heard it and thought that what he said was very reasonable, so he said to Li Qi: "You go to inform Lu Hui and arrange the funeral of the first emperor, I think it is very suitable for Luobei Mountain." ”

Two days later, Li Siyuan led hundreds of officials to wear mourning clothes and bury the first emperor Li Cunqiao in Yongling, a mountain in northern Beijing, and went to the temple called Zhuangzong. It's just that the year name is not changed, and the Zhuangzong Tongguang era is still used.

This Lu Hui sent an envoy to Luodu, and the matter of welcoming back the bones of the first emperor was not done, and after burying Zhuangzong, he had to return to Jinyang in a huff. And the injuries on his body had not healed, so he had to lie in the carriage all the way, and greeted the ancestors of Li Siyuan's family several times in his mouth.

Li Qi, the crown prince who was far away in Jinyang, heard the news of the burial of the first emperor, and also led the hundred officials of Jinyang to go out of Jinyang and go to the southern suburbs to pay respects, which can be regarded as fulfilling the filial piety of the son of man.

A generation of heroes Li Cunqiao was hastily buried in the dust of history......

In the original history, Li Keyong, the king of the Jin Dynasty, used a lineage of descendants, before Li Siyuan became emperor, except for Li Cunmei, who survived due to wind disease, he was killed by Li Siyuan's subordinates An Chongzhi, Huo Yanwei and others, clearing the way for Li Siyuan to become emperor. And now, since Li Qi fled to Jinyang, it no longer makes much sense to do so.

Except for Tong Wang Li Cunqing and Yawang Li Cunji were hunted and killed by An Chongzhi and Huo Yanwei, they did not deliberately search for Li Cunqing's few princes who still survived and fled the people.

However, it was said that the change of Xingjiaomen caused chaos in the palace, and Empress Liu only cared about her own life, and abandoned several princes born to her own in the palace. The second son Jitong and the youngest son Jitong were fortunately protected by the eunuchs and fled to the mansion of Jijiao's biological mother, Yuanxing Qin, and escaped from Luoyang under the escort of Yuanxing Qin's family.

In addition, the princes Jisong and Jiliang were protected by the inner servants Zhao Zhong and Xiang Hui, escaped from the palace, hid in the nurse's house, and were worried all day long.

After Li Siyuan entered Luo, on the one hand, he quelled the rebellion, and on the other hand, he sent people to hunt down and kill the eunuchs and servants favored by Li Cunqing, and Zhao Zhong and Xiang Hui did not dare to come forward, so they could only send people to inquire about the news in the city every day.

After two months, when they heard the news of the first emperor's burial, Zhao Zhong and Xiang Hui were relieved, so they hired a donkey cart to keep the two princes sneaking into Luoyang and preparing to flee to Jinyang. Unexpectedly, the donkey cart walked to Mengjin, but was stopped by a group of thieves, and Xiang Hui just said a few words, but was slashed to the ground by the thieves. That Zhao Zhong was also desperate to protect the master, fighting with the thief, and was also stabbed to death with a shot.

The two princes hid in the donkey cart, and when they saw Xiang Hui and Zhao Zhong dying one after another, they were trembling with fright, not knowing how to live or die.

At this time, a small group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the avenue of Beibi Mountain, and those thieves saw the appearance of the official army, and immediately dispersed. The cavalry arrived, but it was Li Congke's personal general Feng Li who led the team. Then Feng Li galloped over, went to the donkey cart and asked, "Who are you waiting for, but you were robbed by that thief?" ”

Ji Liang was young, so frightened that he just cried and couldn't speak, Ji Song was a little longer, and stammered and replied: "Our brother was originally a prince, Luoyang mutiny, exile and fled here, I wanted to go back to Jinyang to join my brother, but I had no choice but to encounter thieves." ”

Feng Li was taken aback, thinking that this was also a great achievement, so he ordered the soldiers to protect the donkey carts of the two princes, and returned to Luoyang, and returned to Li Siyuan, the prison state.

Li Siyuan was overjoyed when he heard the news and rewarded Feng Li. Under the instigation of An Chongxue, Cui Xie and others, the two surviving princes were adopted as righteous sons and raised in the palace, preparing to select a prince to replace the prince who refused to come back outside, inherit the throne, and manipulate him as a puppet.

It's just that the prince is still here, and it's a bit troublesome to operate.
