Chapter 105: The Troubled Aftermath
The next morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Although Li Shimin only carried out a strict inspection of Chang'an City after noon yesterday, he did not raise the butcher's knife to anyone again. But as soon as the news of the coup d'état broke, people were panicked. Ordinary people are okay, even if the rights are changed, the impact on them is basically nothing.
But these court officials are different.
Those who were able to participate in the early dynasties were basically Wupin officials in Chang'an. When the official reached this level, he more or less participated in the battle between the princes. At this time, these people are all nervous. No one knows what kind of attitude Li Shimin will have towards them after he wins. It's about their lives and their futures, and they can't help but be nervous.
For a moment, the madness in the hall was a little dignified.
Li Yuan finally came belatedly. The tired face between them did not look like they had slept all night to recuperate, and the bloodshot in his eyes was very obvious. was helped by the chamberlain to sit on the dragon bed, and with a wave of his hand, the chamberlain took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: The crown prince Li Jiancheng, rebellious and immoral, in the same room, conspired with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, with the intention of murdering the king of Qin Shimin and forcibly taking the throne. Fortunately, God blessed it and made it a failure. The reward is specially abolished, and the family members should be handed over to the custody of the department, and then retried. Just the widow is sick, and the major events in the DPRK and China are more than enough but not enough. From today on, all the provinces in the world and the soldiers and horses in the capital are under the control of the Qin King Shimin. The people of the world have the right to dispose of the government affairs of all ministries, and the three provinces are extremely compliant. Chin this. ”
Very simply, Li Yuan handed over all the military and political power to Li Shimin.
That's not all, at this time, the chamberlain took out another holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Qin Wang Shimin, since childhood, smart and talented. Since Taiyuan, the southern conquest and the northern war, the fame is great, the dynasty Chinese martial arts, and there are many people who praise it as a masterpiece in the world. Now that the crown prince's position is vacant, the Chinese martial arts feel his merits, and there are many supports. The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day, set it up as a prince, and moved to the East Palace. Chin this. ”
If the first decree was just Li Yuan handing over the power to Li Shimin, then the second decree was to hand over the righteousness and reputation to him. To put it bluntly, at this time, whether Li Shimin is persecuted or Li Yuan is voluntary, in short, from now on, basically Li Yuan will not interfere too much in the government and politics.
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.
After receiving the holy decree from the hand of the chamberlain, and kneeling down, Li Yuan dragged his physically and mentally exhausted body back to the inner palace. The rest of the matter will naturally be handed over to Li Shimin.
After all, Li Shimin is a generation of Ming Jun, although the ability to govern at this time is far less skilled than in the future, but with the help of a group of staff, he naturally still knows what to do at this time.
A seat was placed next to the dragon bed, and Li Shimin officially began to fulfill his right to supervise the country.
With a serious face, he said to everyone in the hall: "Inform the world, before today, those who have a relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, from now on, will not be blamed in the past, but I hope that you will perform your duties and act sensitively." "This is a deliberate show of goodwill in order to stabilize the situation in the court and prevent the strife between their brothers from destabilizing the administration of the entire country.
Hearing the first order issued by Li Shimin, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief.
"You Si chose a site in the palace and built a new palace, so the prince and the king of Qi should be sent to the place and strictly guarded. Before that, there must be no mistake in escorting the officials of the Qi Wangfu to the East Palace and guarding them with the family of the late prince. This is Li Shimin's deliberate doing, and this matter only needs to be explained to his personal guards in private. But now that he has said it, it has played a great role in winning people's hearts, and he wants to use this to shake the loyalty of Li Jiancheng's subordinates. At the same time, as long as such news spreads, it will definitely be able to save a little of his fallen reputation, and it can also press the heart of Li Jiancheng's remnants.
Of course, the effect of this hand is really good, and many ministers in the palace have looked at Li Shimin very gently.
The new official took office with three fires, and it is natural that the third one will be burned at this time.
"The original laws and regulations and so on will remain unchanged, government affairs will be handed over to the three provinces, and military affairs will be attributed to the Tiance Government, and you cannot be violated." After a coup d'état, Li Shimin knew the importance of the army, so at this time, all political affairs were handed over to the original department, so that they would not feel threatened, but the army was firmly controlled in his hands, even if the political situation changed, he would not be afraid.
Obviously, Li Shimin's treatment of Li Jiancheng's remnants touched many people. The most representative here are Feng Li and Xie Shufang, who had fled into Zhongnan Mountain yesterday. These two people, as the commanders of Li Jiancheng's forces, are definitely the core figures. When Li Shimin released the leniency policy in the morning, in the afternoon, the two turned themselves in.
After all, they fled in a hurry yesterday, and although Feng Li and Xie Shufang were in armor at this time, their faces were full of dust, not to mention, the black and brown blood stains on their bodies and mud stains had already dressed the two of them very embarrassed.
In the main hall of King Qin's Mansion, looking at the two kneeling at the bottom of the steps, Li Shimin was not too excited. Rao was yesterday when Feng Li and Xue Wanche almost put him to death, and even threatened his family. But at this time, Li Shimin, as a victor, coupled with Luo Yan's persuasion yesterday, even Li Jiancheng and his family members were spared, so what should these useful talents not let go.
However, it is still indispensable to ask: "Yesterday you sent troops to fight, killing and wounding many of my soldiers, but today you came to surrender, what do you want me to do with you?" ”
Before Feng Li came, he was ready to be killed. Although Li Shimin announced to the world that Li Jiancheng would no longer be held accountable for the party's crimes. But he is different from others, after all, he almost killed Li Shimin and others yesterday. It's no wonder that Li Shimin can spare him for such a holiday. It's just that considering that they have been surrounded in Zhongnan Mountain, even if they escape, they can't escape far, so they simply come out and surrender.
"Since you have defected to your master, you have to fight to serve him. Yesterday, I was still a minister, so naturally I can't let go of His Highness easily. Feng Li didn't have any scruples, so he said whatever he wanted.
Being able to say these words made Li Shimin very admirable, so Li Shimin released the two people on the spot and let them go home.
originally thought that the coup d'état, because of Li Shimin's generosity and timely compensation, passed like this, but who knows, within half a month, something happened.
Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, rebelled.
This matter was brought back by Cui Dunli, a general priest.
Originally, in order to expand the influence of the clan, Li Yuan made all the men over ten years old in the clan king, and also sent them to various places to serve as officials. Lujiang King Li Ming is like this, although he does not have even a little ability to govern the political army, but he was also named the governor of Youzhou.
Li Yuan was also afraid of arranging such a straw bag to go over, and the military affairs in Youzhou were complicated, and things would be messed up. So he sent Wang Junkuo to assist. Li Yuan has always had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng, since Li Jiancheng was defeated and died, then Li Yuan, in order to appease Li Shimin, and at the same time worried that Li Yuan would support the army and respect himself, he sent Cui Dunli to call Li Ying back to Chang'an.
Who would have thought that Cui Dunli would work hard for a few days after coming and going, and the news that he brought back was that Li Ying intended to rebel and was killed on the spot by Wang Junkuo.
For Li Shimin, this is good news, the rebellion has been cleared, and his subordinates have shown their loyalty, which is absolutely gratifying.
However, this joy did not last long before it was broken by the appearance of Luo Yan.
Luo Yan didn't have any good feelings for Wang Junkuo. Not to mention Wang Junkuo's birth, when he attacked Liu Heimin, he fought in the water, although Luo Shixin offered to replace Wang Junkuo to guard the water. But don't forget that when Luo Shixin entered the city, he only brought 200 soldiers. Then, when Wang Junkuo came out, he didn't leave any more manpower for Luo Shixin. is both a Shangzhu country and a national prince, Wang Junkuo and Luo Shixin are too far behind.
Moreover, don't forget, Luo Yan has a whole book of "Tang Book" in his head, in which Wang Junkuo induced Li Ying to rebel and began to write it clearly.
In order to verify some evidence, Luo Yan also paid a special visit to Cui Dunli.
Fortunately, now Luo Yan is not only Li Shimin's valued staff, but also has a very good relationship with Cui Ying. With Cui Ying's relationship, Luo Yan met Cui Dunli.
At this time, Cui Dunli was also very young, but he was only a few years older than Luo Yan. Cui Dunli's ancestor was Boling Cui, and he migrated out later, but he has never broken off contact with his family, so Cui Ying and they are also very familiar with each other.
Seeing that Cui Ying had brought Luo Yan here, Cui Dunli asked very politely, "I don't know why Luo Xiaoshu came?" After all, he and Luo Yan have never had a relationship, and at this time, Luo Yan is a celebrity in front of Li Shimin, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Luo Yan will inevitably be reused in the future.
"Without him, I just want to talk to Cui She about the affairs of Youzhou." Luo Yan didn't play any sharp points, and said straight to the point.
"If there is any problem with Luo Xiaoshu, even if you ask, you will know everything and say everything." Although Cui Dunli was very curious about why Luo Yan was interested in this matter, he still suppressed his doubts and expressed his attitude. Anyway, the court has already reached a conclusion on this matter, and it doesn't matter to itself, so it's better to make it clear.
"Dare to ask Sheren, when Wang Junkuo rescued Sheren, was King Lujiang already ambushed?"
"No, King Lujiang was killed after I was rescued."
"Has the Sheren ever seen the body of King Lujiang, how did he die?" Luo Yan then asked.
"I've seen it, according to the traces, it looks like he was strangled to death, but if you want to say that you hanged yourself, you don't know." After Cui Dunli finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and his expression couldn't help but change greatly.
"Today's events, you still need to keep them secret, if they leak it, it will definitely kill you, remember." didn't care about any etiquette, after Luo Yan warned Cui Ying and Cui Dunli, he immediately rushed to the Qin Palace.
