Chapter 211: Chang'an Rebellion
As a thank you, Fan Er offered to leave Li Xiu for dinner, which was also what Yi Niang meant, but she was embarrassed to say it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, Li Xiu hesitated for a moment but still shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but Yuechan and they made me my favorite dumplings today, and now I'm waiting for me to go back to eat, so I won't bother!" ”
Li Xiu was mainly worried that it would be too embarrassing to sit with Yi Niang, thinking about the scene where the two sat opposite each other but had nothing to say, it was no longer embarrassing to describe, so he still didn't bother them.
Yi Niang heard that Li Xiu did not agree, and her heart suddenly felt relieved, although she was very grateful for Li Xiu's help, but in fact, when facing Li Xiu, she still felt very embarrassed in her heart, and it was estimated that the two of them would not be able to face each other in this life.
At that moment, Li Xiu said goodbye and left, and it was close to noon at this time, and the clothes on his body were dirty, so he had no choice but to return home, as soon as he entered the door, Yuechan was startled by his blood-stained appearance, and thought that he had killed someone outside, Li Xiu hurriedly explained before Yuechan put her mind at ease.
Today's lunch is indeed dumplings, because today is the last solar term of the year, that is, the great cold, although it is not as valued as the winter solstice, but Yuechan still wrapped Li Xiu's favorite dumplings, but when Li Xiu was eating, Fan Er suddenly sent a bowl of boiled mutton, which is considered today's thanks, Li Xiu had to accept it with a smile, and asked her to bring two bowls of dumplings back, which is also a formal relationship between the two families.
In the next few days, Li Xiu did not deliberately inquire about the situation in Chang'an City, but Ma Ye often came to him to chat, mainly because Ma Ye was usually too boring, and the only one who could talk about his heart was Li Xiu, and he was also very interested in the matter of splitting up Tiance Mansion, and he also wanted to hear Li Xiu's opinion on this, so Li Xiu knew the movements of Chang'an City well.
In the past few days, Chang'an City can already be described as chaotic, of course, this chaos may not have much impact on ordinary people, but it is disastrous for the officials in the court, more than a dozen officials have been transferred out of Beijing, there are civil officials and military generals, and there are more official positions changed, some people have been promoted and some have been demoted, but careful people can find that those officials who have been transferred out of Beijing or demoted, most of them are related to the King of Qin.
In the face of the joint suppression of his father and brother, although Li Shimin was unwilling, and even secretly made some small moves to contain the decision of the imperial court, but unfortunately under the general trend, he did not dare to go against Li Yuan openly, and in the end he still could not prevent the decision to split the Tiance Mansion, in which part of the military power of the northern border army was withdrawn, and several important generals of the Tiance Mansion were transferred, so that Li Shimin's control over the army was reduced a lot.
And what's worse is that the above is just the beginning, and the next court will further split the Tiance Mansion until the military power of the Tiance Mansion is completely recovered, so that Li Shimin will lose his biggest support, and in the end he can only become an ordinary prince who has made a lot of contributions.
For the above situation, Li Xiu was not surprised, in fact, this matter is also running along the original historical trajectory, and it is precisely because the power of Tiance Mansion was gradually divided that Li Shimin was forced to fight hard and launched the Xuanwumen Change, it can be said that he was also a dangerous move at that time, as long as there is a slight mistake, then the history of later generations may be changed because of this, and there will be no Heavenly Khan of later generations.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu is most worried that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng will push Li Shimin too hard, so that they may launch a coup d'état in advance, but Li Yuan is not stupid, he will definitely take care of Li Shimin's emotions, so the process of dismantling Tiance Mansion will definitely be very slow, like boiling a frog in warm water, but Li Shimin's frog is not easy to cook, maybe before the water is hot, he will react and launch a counterattack.
"Boy, you see, now the King of Qin is gone, although he still has a lot of military power in his hands, but in my estimation, within a year or two, His Majesty will deprive him of the military power, and then the King of Qin will have no support, you should not get too close to him, so as not to be implicated in the future!" After talking about the changes in Chang'an City that day, Ma Ye warned Li Xiu again that Li Shimin came to Li Xiu frequently, and even his son studied with Li Xiu, so Ma Ye was a little worried that Li Xiu would be implicated.
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I'm just an idler with nothing to do, even if the prince really defeats King Qin, he won't do anything to me!" Li Xiu smiled indifferently, Li Shimin is willing to come, and he can't drive the other party out, and with his observation, Li Jiancheng is not a cautious person, otherwise he would not attract so many ministers to support him, not to mention that Princess Pingyang is there, so as long as he doesn't take the initiative to get involved, Li Jiancheng won't do anything with him.
"Then you have to be careful, the battle for the throne has always been the most cruel, think about the lesson of the former Sui, Yang Guang's eldest brother died at the hands of his own brother, and even Yang Guang's father Yang Jian died unexplained, the relationship between father and son is still like this, not to mention outsiders!" Ma Ye said with a heavy face.
It is said that in order to seize the throne, Yang Guang gave his eldest brother Yang Yong to death by false decree, and also imprisoned Yang Jian, who was not dead at the time, and then Yang Jian died mysteriously.
"Thank you Uncle Ma for the reminder, I will pay attention in the future!" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu finally straightened up, the dispute between the crown prince cannot be inferred from common sense, human nature has been distorted here, and he, an irrelevant person, should also be careful, as for those ministers in the court, I am afraid that they can only ask for more blessings.
Seeing that Li Xiu finally began to pay attention to this matter, Ma Ye also nodded reassuringly, and then chatted with him for a while, and then said goodbye and left, and Li Xiu personally sent him outside the gate.
By this time it was not early, and the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and it seemed that another heavy snow was coming, and it was not only exceptionally cold this winter, but also the snow was falling very frequently, as if to make up for the drought in spring and summer, but this is also a good thing, at least there will be no need to water the ground in the spring next year.
At that moment, Li Xiu was about to turn around and go home, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the road behind him, and then a somewhat familiar cavalry "rumbled" towards him! (To be continued.) )
