Chapter 719: Internal and External Division of Labor
There is still a gap between Li Chengqian and his father, who ascended the throne with a domineering spirit that was arrogant to the world, and dared to make a big show with Cai Cong without the slightest certainty.
And Li Chengqian ascended the throne with a little confusion, he has been the prince for more than 20 years, and now he is considered to be the emperor step by step, but he looked at the crowd of people who came down the mountain to shout long live on the rooftop, and seemed to be a little confused about what to do in the future.
Fortunately, he saw the best friend below, and he had him on a flat road leading straight to his destination.
"Bring the kings up."
Li Chengqian's cold voice came down from the high platform, and immediately the powerful man pushed Li Yuanchang and the nine people to come over.
Expressions of anger, horror, and remorse appeared on different people's faces. Li Yuanchang is face was full of anger, his hair was tied in a bun with a hairpin, and the messy stubble showed that he hadn't taken care of his appearance for a long time.
Cai Cong looked at Li Yuanchang, this person with a handsome face and a dignified appearance was the guy who made Li Chengqian a in his previous life.
"Li Chengqian, what do you mean by this? When you become an emperor, do you want to learn from your Lao Tzu and kill your relatives? Elders of the clan, you have to be the master! He Li Chengqian detained so many of our uncles and younger brothers for no reason, what did he want to do? ”
Li Yuanchang shouted at the only remaining clan elders, and Li Xiaogong and the others looked sad and silent.
"Big brother, spare me! I know it's wrong, don't kill me! ”
Fifteen-year-old Li Ming cried and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, for this kid Cai Cong has always wondered why he rebelled.
This Li Shimin's youngest son, his mother is Princess Qi, that is, Li Yuanji's wife, so his identity is very embarrassing, obviously he is Li Shimin's son, but his name is Li Yuanji's son, what is the name mixed with unjustifiable?
"Bring everything up!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly, and Lux lifted up the boxes that were extremely familiar to the nine people, and with the sound of the boxes falling to the ground, the hearts of the nine people also trembled.
"This, this..."
Li Yuanchang pointed to the box and was speechless in panic, and the others sat down on the ground.
"Familiar, right? Do you think that by using gold and silver treasures to collect ministers and generals, you can take the opportunity to seize the throne? What a naivety! You send them by night, and the next day they come to the palace to report it. ”
Li Chengqian said coldly, Li Yuanchang showed a weird smile and said, "It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a coward, my second brother has become, so he has become the emperor." This king is defeated, but he will not be your prisoner. ”
After that, Li Yuanchang crashed into a step on the altar, and the fishy yellow brains splashed on the bodies of the other eight princes, and the vomiting sound continued for a while.
"That's it, I first ascended to the great treasure, I didn't want to kill, why did you bother to cut yourself?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said sadly, and finally ordered, "Bury Li Yuanchang with the prince, and the rest of the eight kings will be abolished as concubines, exiled to Lingnan, and each will be given a mansion, and you will not be allowed to leave the mansion for half a step without a will." ”
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
Hundreds of officials praised one after another, and then one after another holy decrees were issued, all officials should be sealed, those who should be promoted, and even those criminals who committed petty theft in the prison were pardoned.
The new emperor ascended the throne and celebrated the same time, and after the four auxiliary ministers were added to the knighthood, he was a very popular minister, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that the military power is in the hands of Cai Cong, and Cai Cong has been crowned king, which can be said to be more than 10,000 people under one person.
"The anti-thief Li Zhi, who has no three outlines and five constants, is perverse, how do the ministers think they should deal with it?"
Back in the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian learned his father's tone and asked the ministers, he didn't have a set of his own means now, so he could only follow his father's example.
"Chen, I think that the reason why Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende died of a sudden illness is not unrelated to the perverse behavior of the traitor Li Zhi, so we should immediately raise troops to fight, thinking that Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende are in the spirit of heaven."
Wei Zheng came out and said angrily, all of this was caused by Li Zhi sending people to assassinate Li Chengqian.
"Having said that, the first emperor is not allowed to use swords during his great trip, otherwise it may be ominous."
Fang Xuanling also stood up and said that his words could be agreed by many officials, and people in this era are still very superstitious.
"If I want Lao Cheng to say it, I will clean up that bastard, the eldest brother is like a father, how can Your Majesty teach the rebel son a lesson on behalf of the first emperor? It's a family affair. I Lao Cheng asked to lead the troops to fight! ”
Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin, he was eager to lead the troops to clean up Li Zhi's eight lambs, and to snow the shame of him and Wei Chigong's misfortune.
"Sophistry, Cheng Biting Jin, you are sophistry, if you send troops, you will use the sword, and besides, the heavenly family is selfless, you don't want to mess around."
Fang Xuanling reprimanded sharply, and other courtiers also condemned one after another, not being able to use the sword for three months This is a rule left by the ancestors, how can it be easily broken?
It's okay for Cheng to bite Jin and play a scoundrel, how could he have said this class of Wenchen when it comes to the mouth of the righteous people?
However, he has a lot of eyes, and his eyes rolled and he said, "Now this generalissimo is Cai Cong, you should also ask his opinion on this matter, right?" ”
As soon as he said this, the hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Cai Cong, wanting to see how he answered.
"The king of the town doesn't know what to say, you might as well say it for you Aiqing to refer to one or two."
Li Chengqian asked Cai Cong with a smile, after which battle with Li Zhi in Xuanwumen he understood that he had no military talent, so he was dictatorial in political affairs, and Cai Cong helped him in military affairs.
"If you don't move the sword for three months, this is a rule that you can't break, since I, Datang, have announced that all the countries in the world can't use the sword, how can I break the rules first?"
Cai Cong said lightly, Cheng Yanjin immediately panicked, your sister was aborted when she was assassinated, don't you want to help her take revenge?
Fang Xuanling and other officials nodded with satisfaction, they did a good job this time, they were mature in the end, and they didn't want to shout and kill at every turn like before.
However, Li Zhi is now getting the wealth of Tubo and is constantly recruiting troops, if he is left alone, it will become a trouble in three months. The minister thought he needed to warn them. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I can lead the troops to beat them up and let them know that they are powerful."
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly took over the conversation, he was too eager to clean up Li Zhi, it was too embarrassing for two old things who had been through a hundred battles to be beaten by a hairy boy and lost their armor, not to mention that there were untalented heirs who were blown up and killed, if they didn't take revenge, they still had a face?
Cai Cong didn't pay attention to Cheng Biting Jin, and continued, "It's impossible to fight, and the minister came up with a text to warn them." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Cheng Biting Jin was anxious, but even Fang Xuanling and others felt that Cai Cong was messing around and suppressing the text? You're messing around.
Only Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "What kind of suppression?" When did your temper get so good? ”
"The minister wanted to send out a letter to tell the rebels that if he did not capture a group of bandit leaders to surrender within three months, the minister would personally lead the troops to burn the Acropolis three months later. What the city of Pyongyang burned to the ground would be. ”
As soon as Cai Cong's words came out of the Taiji Palace, there was a gasp of cold air, and this warning was really all Cai Cong's style.
"Isn't that right? As soon as this suppression comes out, I am afraid that the subjects of the world and all countries will think that the court is cruel and unkind, and it may deviate from morality at that time! ”
Some people stood up and said that they felt majestic by burning Pyongyang City, but they really couldn't accept the burning of Yangzhou Acropolis.
"Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, and the country must be peaceful, this traitor is the root cause of cholera, so we must cut through the chaos quickly, and we can't afford to delay. Only by quelling civil strife can we develop people's livelihood, don't you all understand this truth? ”
Cai Cong frowned and scolded the official who spoke, the official had the heart to refute, but he couldn't find a reason, what Cai Cong said was indeed the truth.
