On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the third day of the Lunar New Year.

There is an endless stream of officials who come to the festival to pay New Year's greetings.

The three little guys also received a lot of New Year's money.

Of course, everyone understands the temperament of King Shu.

No one dared to take advantage of this opportunity to give gifts.

During the Chinese New Year, Li Su was very busy again.

Then, Li Yu found that the freshness of the three little ones who had just learned to walk had passed.

When they first learned to walk, they loved to walk.

At all, let people follow themselves, walk over and walk past, and refuse to stop.

But now, that freshness has passed.

The three little ones like to be held when they're fine.

As soon as she saw Li Su, Li Rong stretched out her hands and shouted coquettishly: "Dad, hug!" ”

"Hey!"

Li Su happily picked up Li Rong.

Then Baoyu also stretched out his hands and shouted, "Dad, hug!" ”

Li Su squatted down again and picked Baoyu up.

In the end, Tianci also stretched out his hands and shouted to Li Su: "Dad, hug!" ”

Li Su: "......"

……

In the first month, Wei Zheng died of illness.

Wei Zheng's death made Li Shimin very sad and resigned for five days.

Posthumously presented Wei Zheng as the governor of Sikong and Xiangzhou, and his nickname was Wenzhen.

Li Shimin issued an edict to bury Wei Zheng, but was rejected by Wei Zheng's wife Pei.

Pei's reason is that Wei Zheng lived a simple and simple life before his death, and he should also start from the beginning after his death.

A luxurious funeral is not Wei Zheng's ambition.

Wei Zheng's family was very poor, and Pei's family only had a small cart, carrying Wei Zheng's coffin to the cemetery.

Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to send, and personally engraved the inscription.

After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin was very sad and often said to the courtiers around him: "Using glass as a mirror can straighten your clothes; Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Using people as mirrors, you can see the gains and losses. ”

"I often use this way to prevent myself from making mistakes, but now that Wei Zheng has died, I have lost a mirror!"

After Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin sent someone to his house to get a page written by Wei Zheng

"Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong".

This letter should have been written by Wei Zheng when he was seriously ill, and before he finished writing, he had already passed away.

This letter is very sloppy and difficult to discern.

Only the first few lines can roughly see what it means.

It probably means that there are good and evil things in the world.

If good people are appointed to govern the country, the country will be stable.

If you govern the country with bad people, the country will decay.

Ministers, they all have their own likes and dislikes.

If you don't like it, you can only see its evil.

If you like it, you can only see his goodness.

Between likes and dislikes, one should be cautious.

If you can avoid this, don't deny his strengths because you don't like it.

If you don't like it, you can't see his badness.

Appoint talents, not to one's own preferences, and in this way, the country can prosper.

After reading Wei Zheng's bereavement, Li Shimin was very emotional, he felt that he might not be able to reach the kind of realm that Wei Zheng said.

Which ministers and courtiers can write these words on the handboard.

If you see that I am at fault, you must dare to admonish.

……

Now, Qizhou Farm.

The first chickens and pigs have already begun to be slaughtered.

This has also alleviated the shortage of the market to a certain extent.

Of course, the extent of relief is still limited.

After all, the farm is only now taking shape.

The number of farmed species has not reached the maximum level.

As for the victims of the resettlement villages in Qizhou, basically every household now has something to do.

There is a decent income every month.

Now for them, farming is basically for nothing.

The monthly repayment of 200 yuan does not need to be taken into account at all for their families who have an income of several thousand dollars per month.

The resettlement model of disaster victims in Qizhou has also been valued by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin ordered the king of Qi to write it into a policy, and then promote and study it throughout the Tang Dynasty.

This order shocked all the civil and military officials.

After Li Su heard it, he was overjoyed.

It can be said that the resettlement of disaster victims in Qizhou has gone to the front of the entire Tang Dynasty.

King Qi's experience can be promoted and learned throughout Datang, which is a great honor.

The last time many officials impeached King Qi, Li Shimin fiercely applied.

The right to hear about the imperial history has also been withdrawn.

If you completely look at the wind and make it up out of thin air, you will be severely punished.

What they didn't expect was that Li Shimin did not severely punish them and let them go, but here, he praised King Qi fiercely.

This time's praise was completely compared to Li Tai, the king of Wei.

After this incident, in February of the new year, Li Shimin ordered people to paint the portraits of twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion.

Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Jing, Xiao Yu, Duan Zhixuan, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Chai Shao, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Cheng Zhijie (Cheng Yanjin), Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Tang Jian, Li Shixian, Qin Shubao.

Of these 24 heroes, more than half of them are military generals.

Of course, this is also the characteristic of the times in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties.

Because, these twenty-four heroes are basically veterans who follow Li Yuan or Li Shimin to fight the world.

Later generations also wrote a poem by a poet:

Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.

Please go to Lingyun Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis.

At this time, the Jiannan Dao Jie Du envoy, Li Su, the king of Shu, became cautious.

Because he knows very well that next, Datang is going to enter a turbulent period.

Soon, the time came to March.

In this fireworks March, a major event occurred that shook the entire Tang Dynasty.

The governor of Youzhou, Li You, the king of Yan, rebelled in Youzhou.

The time node here is the same as the original historical trajectory.

It's just that the king of Li You still has a fief, which is different from the original historical trajectory.

In the original historical trajectory, Li You was named the king of Qi and held the position of governor of Qizhou, and he also rebelled in Qizhou.

But because of Li Su's arrival, some things have quietly changed.

The current governor of Qizhou is Li Ke, the king of Qi.

And Li You, who was still the governor of Youzhou at this time, was named the king of Yan.

And the long history Quan Wanji, which was supposed to belong to Li You, was intercepted by Li Shimin and given to Li Yin, the king of Shu.

At this time, Li You's long history is still Xue Dading.

Because Li You's behavior is perverse and absurd, he is the same as the previous Li Su, and even surpasses.

Xue Dading repeatedly dissuaded him, but Li You ignored it.

Xue Dading was angry, so he often sued Li You, the king of Yan.

Li You was angry and plotted to kill Xue Dading.

But in the end, the secret was leaked, and Xue Dading was angry and prepared to go to Chang'an to sue the emperor.

Li You was very frightened and sent someone to kill Xue Dading.

But if you kill Xue Dading, the matter will be revealed sooner or later, and your father will definitely not let him go.

At this time, Li You's subordinate Yan Hongliang persuaded him to rebel.

In the end, Li You followed Yan Hongliang's advice, and Li You recruited men over the age of fifteen in Youzhou City as soldiers.

He was appointed to the official positions of Shangzhu State, Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions.

And opened the treasury for rewards, drove the people into the city as soldiers, and arranged official offices.

Reward your subordinates in a big way.

After Li Shimin learned the news, he was very shocked, and sent Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, to lead the soldiers of Kyushu Prefecture and Liu Dewei to jointly crusade against the rebellion.

At this time, Li You held a banquet with Yan Hongliang and the other five people, as well as their princesses, every day for fun.

And whenever he talked about the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, Yan Hongliang said very proudly:

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, his subordinates can kill the army with one hand with a wine glass."

Li You trusted Yan Hongliang very much, and he was very happy to hear his words.

At this time, Li Shimin wrote a letter to reprimand Li You:

I have warned you many times to be close to the gentleman and far from the villain, but you just can't listen to it, so that you will do such things that are not as good as animals.

You are quick to be perverse in temperament, lacking in virtue, and soft in your ears, and you will be seduced by flattering words.

I'm so heartbroken right now, you're so stupid!

You have now become a jackal-like person, disloyal and unfilial, cholera Youzhou, you are simply innocent.

Thou hast violated propriety and righteousness, and thou hast not tolerated it by heaven and earth; You forsake your father and rebel against the king, and man and God are angry.

You used to be my son, but now you have become my Tang Dynasty's enemy.

……

As a result, the army that suppressed the rebellion had not yet reached Youzhou.

The subordinates of Li You, the king of Yan, no longer obeyed his orders.

As soon as the army arrived, Li You's army directly betrayed him.

Soon, Li You was taken down.

Yan Hongliang, who was beside Li You, was directly killed.

Li You was captured and taken to Chang'an.

On April 6, Li You was demoted to a concubine for the crime of treason, and was given death by Li Shimin in the inner province of Chang'an Taiji Palace.

Li You's rebellion made Li Shimin extremely sad.

He felt that he himself was also very responsible for his son's rebellion.

He may be a good emperor, but he may not be a good father.

In the matter of Li You, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

However, what Li Shimin never expected was that the blow to him was actually just beginning now.

Li Shimin loves Li Tai, the king of Wei, very much, especially after Li Tai offered a book last year, Li Shimin has rewarded Li Tai many times, all of which are more than the crown prince.

This made the crown prince Li Chengqian very uneasy.

Now, there are three people who threaten his position as crown prince.

The first is naturally Li Tai, the younger brother of his mother's compatriot, the second is Li Su, the king of Shu, and the third is Li You.

But among the three opponents, Li Chengqian thought that the biggest threat to him was actually his younger brother Li Tai, who was a compatriot of his mother.

Because his father's liking for Li Tai has far exceeded that of him, the crown prince.

Moreover, Li Tai is also the son of the queen mother and has an orthodox title.

In particular, Li Tai is the closest to him and the biggest threat.

Therefore, Li Chengqian actually took the risk and sent someone to assassinate Li Tai.

However, the assassination failed and the matter was revealed, and Li Chengqian panicked.

At this time, Li Chengqian simply decided to go all the way to the dark.

If you don't do anything, you will simply prepare to rebel directly.

Li Chengqian colluded with Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, Du He, Hou Junji, and other people of Princess Chengyang, and planned to strike first and directly raise troops to force the palace to rebel.

In fact, Li Chengqian's chances of winning are still very good.

Because he lives in the East Palace, which is very close to the Imperial Palace, he has a natural advantage.

Indeed, the west wall of the Prince's East Palace is only twenty steps away from the Imperial Palace.

If Li Shimin is unprepared, he can easily succeed.

But what the prince didn't expect was that Li You, the king of Yan, rebelled, and actually involved Li Chengqian's guard commander Su Gan Chengji.

He was arrested and interrogated.

And Su Gan Chengji is a second or fifth boy, originally he was only involved in the rebellion of King Yan.

But this Erwuzai, in order to save his life, directly sold the prince.

The prince is going to rebel, and who he is colluding with, and when he is going to launch a rebellion, and he will reveal everything.

When Li Shimin learned the news, he was shocked.

Immediately, Situ Chang Sun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, Special Jin Xiao Yu, and Li Shiji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were appointed to form a special triage team together with Dali Temple, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province.

This group brings together almost all the high-ranking officials of the DPRK.

After the trial and investigation of these people, it was determined that the evidence of the prince's rebellion was conclusive.

As a result, the crown prince and his accomplices were all captured.

At this time, Li Shimin was very sad.

Just a month ago, his other son, Li You, had just rebelled.

Now, the crown prince has actually begun to rebel.

Li Shimin asked himself that he didn't have the intention of deposing the prince, and why could this evil beast do such a fatherless and kingless thing?

However, after all, Li Shimin poured too much effort into Li Chengqian.

If he is convicted according to the law, Li Chengqian must be executed.

But Li Shimin did not want to kill his eldest son.

However, this is contrary to the law.

What to do?

In the end, Li Shimin acted as if he was lying and directly put this matter on the court, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military began to discuss this matter.

In the end, the general secretary suggested that "Your Majesty is still a loving father, and it should be the best ending for the prince to die in his life." ”

Li Shimin decisively took Laiji's suggestion.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, Li Shimin issued an edict to depose the crown prince Li Chengqian, demoted him to a commoner, and imprisoned him in the right army.

And the accomplices of the crown prince Li Chengqian were all cut off by their heads.

In just over a month, his two sons rebelled against him.

This made Li Shimin very sad, and for a while, Li Shimin was almost ten years old.

At the same time, Li Shimin also began to be very wary of his remaining son.

These two sons were able to rebel against him, but what other sons were?

Is it possible to rebel against him?

Li Tai, the king of Wei, was by his side, and he was very obedient, he had neither the motive nor the strength to rebel.

The others in the fiefdom are powerful, only Li Ke, the king of Qi, and Li Su, the king of Shu.

And Li You, the king of Qi, actually didn't have many troops.

And Qizhou is too close to Chang'an, mainly because the transportation is convenient now, and it only takes one day to reach Qizhou.

Therefore, the possibility of Li Ke's rebellion is also very low.

Moreover, Li Ke's strength is also very weak, and he can quell the rebellion with a snap of his fingers.

Only Li Su, the king of Shu, made Li Shimin very jealous.

In Li Su's hands, he has an army of 50,000.

This is only on the surface, whether there is a private army in the secret, Li Shimin is really not sure.

Because now even Tuyuhun is very likely to be under his control.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that Li Su has advanced scientific and technological means in his hands.

His Yizhou army first attacked Tubo and Tuyuhun, and then attacked major events.

and the battle against Xue Yantuo, all of which were invincible.

And Li Su, the king of Shu, has a good relationship with the current veteran in the court.

Li Jing, the god of war, is his grandfather-in-law.

If Li Su wants to rebel, the possibility of success will be very great.

Even if he can't succeed, it will eventually bring a terrible impact to the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Shimin finally became extremely jealous of Li Su.

Well, the king of Shu has been in Shu for too long, so he should move the place!

Next, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji conspired to move the king of Shu, Li Su, to a place.

Give him a different place and seal it.

It's best to keep him by your side, not far from Chang'an.

Just leave Jiannan Dao and leave the monolithic place under his control.

At that time, even if he wanted to toss, he couldn't toss any waves.

……

Jiannan Dao, the official of the long history of the Jiedu Embassy, has been very bored recently.

Recently, when I came home from work, I always like to drink stuffy.

Even his favorite granddaughter, Shangguan Wan'er, couldn't let him relieve his sorrows.

Mrs. Shangguan couldn't help but ask, "Husband, have you encountered any problems in official business?" ”

Mrs. Shangguan knows her husband very well.

His husband has outstanding ability, don't say that managing a Jiannan Dao, even if he manages a bigger place, it is no longer a problem.

And now that the form of Jiannan Road is very good, and the people's lives are thriving, what problems can the husband encounter?

Shangguan Yi shook his head and said, "Madam, it's not an official matter. ”

Mrs. Shangguan then asked, "Husband, could it be that the King of Shu is suspicious of his husband?" ”

Shangguan Yi shook his head and said: "The prince has the grace of knowing me, and the prince has no doubts about employing people, and he will leave all the big and small affairs to me with confidence, and he has never suspected me." ”

Madame Shangguan asked puzzledly, "What else is so boring about this husband?" ”

Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly: "You are a woman, even if you say it, you don't understand!" ”

Mrs. Shangguan glared and said, "You haven't said it yet, how can you conclude that I don't understand?" ”

Eh, Shangguanyi, in fact, is a little afraid of the inside.

As soon as Madame glared, Shangguan Yi felt three points weaker.

Then he couldn't help sighing: "You should have also heard that this year, the first rebellion of Yan King Li You, followed by the rebellion of the crown prince." ”

"There have been two princes who have rebelled, madam, imagine that the emperor can not be defenseless against the remaining princes?"

Among the many princes, the King of Shu is undoubtedly the most powerful. If there is a rebellion, it is also the one that is most likely to succeed. ”

"In this case, how can the emperor rest assured of the prince?"

"So, for the husband, I am afraid that the emperor will do something to the prince next!"

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Mrs. Shangguan was very frightened.

couldn't help asking: "Husband, do you mean that the emperor wants to take down the prince directly?" The husband is the right-hand man of the prince, I'm afraid there won't be any good end, right? Otherwise, husband, you still resign and don't do it, let's go home and farm! ”

Hearing Madame's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Madam, it's not like this!" ”

"As the husband said, the emperor wants to do something to the prince, but he will transfer the prince away from Jiannan Road."

"But the foundation of the prince is here, once the prince is transferred out of Jiannan Dao, all the hard work of the previous nearly ten years will be in vain!"

"Moreover, even if the prince is transferred out of Jiannan Dao, the emperor will be suspicious everywhere. And when the new emperor ascends the throne, I am afraid that the prince will also ......"

After listening to Shangguan Yi's analysis, Mrs. Shangguan was very frightened, and couldn't help asking, "Husband, when the time comes, we won't be able to run away?" What to do? ”

Shangguan Yi sighed and said: "There is no endless road, for the husband to believe, there will always be a way, Rong Weifu is thinking about it." ”

At this moment, suddenly the porter came to report, saying that the prince was visiting.

Shangguan Yi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly cooperated with his wife and went out of the house to greet him.

However, not long after they went out, they ran into Li Su, the king of Shu.

"The subordinates don't know that the prince is coming, and they are late to greet them, and they hope that the prince will atone for their sins!"

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Shangguan Changshi, between you and me, why do you need to be like this? Yo, look at Changshi's face, are you drinking? ”

Shangguan Yi hurriedly said: "When the prince came, his subordinates were drinking. ”

Li Su couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just right, this king will accompany Changshi to drink two cups." ”

"Lord Wang, please!"

"Long History, please!"

After a while, the two came to the backyard.

Shangguan Yi hurriedly ordered the cook to make a few more dishes, and after a while, the dishes were served.

Li Su glanced at Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Yi immediately realized that the prince had something to say to himself, and immediately ordered all his subordinates to retreat.

Li Su picked up the wine glass, looked at Shangguan Yi, and asked with a smile: "This king saw Changshi's face was gloomy, I don't know why he was distressed?" ”

Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, how can the prince not see the distress of his subordinates?" This time, the subordinates really didn't know how to get through this level. ”

Next, they almost guessed it.

The emperor will definitely transfer the prince away from Jiannan Road.

If you are ordered, you will lose all the foundations that you have worked hard to build before.

And if you don't obey the order, it will be a rebellion.

And once the soldiers meet, I don't know how many people will die.

That's not what they want to see.

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su smiled and said: "This king naturally knows what Changshi is worried about, but this king thinks that things are not actually the worst. ”

Shangguan Yi asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Li Su smiled and said, "If the will of our father has been issued, it is naturally difficult for us to shirk it. But now, isn't my father's will not yet be issued? ”

"If the border is unstable at this time, the king will naturally lead troops to suppress the rebellion. When the time comes, will my father still issue an order to transfer this king? ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up!

That's right, now the prince can completely raise bandits and support the army for self-consolidation.

If the border is unstable, even if the emperor wants to transfer the prince away, he can't make such an order right away.

If this is the case, then the emperor's fear of the prince will be obvious.

This is also a great blow to the emperor's prestige.

In the case that the two princes have just rebelled, the emperor will definitely not do this.

As for the turmoil on the border, it is not so difficult.

The land of Nanzhao has not been very peaceful.

……
