conspiracy
Li Yuan was hunting in Danshui, and before he could finish his fun, he received a secret letter from the crown prince Li Jiancheng - Jinyang is in danger, and he hopes that his father will return to Chang'an as soon as possible!
What Li Yuan was most afraid of was instability in the rear, and he knew that if it wasn't for the seriousness of the situation, the crown prince Li Jiancheng would never let him go back.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Yuan learned that the original new Jinyang left-behind Li Wenzhong intended to rebel and surrender Jinyang City to Chuluo Khan.
The person who reported the news was Liu Dewei, the deputy left-behind guard. Li Yuan did not approve of appointing Li Wenzhong to be promoted to Jinyang to stay behind, feeling that he was a talented and immoral person.
However, Li Shimin insisted on appointing him, and said that Li Wenzhong had made the greatest contribution in the campaign to recover Hedong, and if he could not give the meritorious generals and high-ranking officials a prominent position, the soldiers who followed him would be dissatisfied, and their morale would suffer.
Li Yuan thought of this, so he agreed to Li Shimin's request.
I never thought that Li Wenzhong would conspire to betray for some ulterior purposes.
Li Wenzhong is Li Mi's uncle, and Li Mi's ending has left a deep imprint on his heart. In his opinion, Li Mi's death was intentional by Li Yuan. Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Li Yuan. And this point happened to be used by Chuluo Khan.
In the king's view, loyalty is far more important than competence. If the sage is not in power, there will be aftermath!
The young Li Shimin is a good hand at fighting, but his darkness of human nature is far less thorough than his father's understanding.
Li Yuan knew that the situation was very serious, so he immediately ordered the crown prince Li Jiancheng to lead 300 elite Yulin troops to secretly go north to Jinyang City to prevent the situation from expanding.
The sweat and blood of the horses were extremely fast, and Li Jiancheng and his entourage arrived in Jinyang City in only two days.
On the night of their arrival in Jinyang City, the Yulin Army surrounded Li Wenzhong's mansion, secretly took him down, and loaded him into a prisoner car.
The whole thing was done in a tight manner, and it was only announced to the public that Li Wenzhong was sick and recuperating at home.
It turned out that Li Wenzhong was extremely ambitious, and Zhu Luo Khan allowed him to divide the land and seal the king, and the hereditary repudiation required him to sacrifice Jinyang City so that the Turkic soldiers and horses could go south again.
Li Yuan is such a shrewd person, nothing can escape his eyes.
Behind every high-ranking official, there will be an unknown watchman. They are only loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and anyone who shows signs of disloyalty will have direct access to the emperor's sources, and these sources will never have any false elements......
Li Jiancheng did not stay in Jinyang, he ordered 300 Yulin troops to accompany him all the way and personally escorted Li Wenzhong to Chang'an.
The three hundred Yu Lin Lang are all people who serve the dead, even if there is only the last person left, they must ensure that the prisoner is alive.
Because, they had to send Li Wenzhong to Dali Temple Prison unscathed, and the matter would be over.
According to the Tang Dynasty's "Law of Martial Virtues", the crime committed by Li Wenzhong was a rebellion and a heinous crime.
Li Yuan had long ordered the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to be on standby at any time, and as soon as Li Wenzhong arrived, he would be interrogated and the case would be turned into an ironclad case.
In the coming day, a public trial was held at the entrance of Chang'an City, and the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department tried the prisoners.
Li Wenzhong's conspiracy case is full of ironclad evidence, and he was sentenced to be executed! The prisoner Li Wenzhong was identified as being directly behind him and was beheaded at a quarter of noon.
After that, the head patrolled the streets and exposed the body for three days......
The reason why Li Yuan did this was to clearly tell Chu Luo Khan that his plot was bankrupt!
