Chapter 460: Yang Wengan's Mutiny (11)
After Li Yuan saw Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei, his old face was a little red, because since he had a new favorite, Li Yuan had not favored Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei for a long time, and he felt a little embarrassed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmmm! Why, you're here too? Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei knelt on the ground and cried to Li Yuan:
"Your Majesty, the concubines heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a misunderstanding with the emperor, and the concubines specially came with the King of Qi to help the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince contact the misunderstanding." Li Yuan looked at his two former concubines, and saw the haggard and tired faces of Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei.
"You guys are really ......" Li Yuan originally wanted to say that since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and it is very unlucky to be a chicken. But in the face of women, especially after the death of Empress Dou, it was Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei who soothed Li Yuan's heart with their tenderness. Li Yuan is reluctant to be angry with the woman he loves, but it doesn't mean that he can't find a scapegoat that can be replaced. Li Yuan yelled at Li Yuanji:
"Bastard, who told you to bring your mother here, bastard!" Li Yuan kicked at Li Yuanji. After Li Yuanji was deeply kicked by Li Yuan, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Li Yuan's heart softened. Said to Li Yuanji:
"Okay, send your two concubines back to the side hall, I don't care, I still have important things to do here, don't let your two concubines get in the way here!" Li Yuanji knelt on the ground and shouted loudly to Li Yuan:
"Father, the son has a confidential report, which concerns the second brother King Qin, and the son also thinks that the mutiny between the eldest brother of the crown prince and Yang Wengan may really be a little strange?" Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda also shouted:
"The ministers hope that the emperor can find out the connection between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Wengan's mutiny, and don't wronged His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei also shouted:
"Your Majesty, please verify in detail the connection between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Wengan's mutiny, and return His Royal Highness the Prince's innocence!" Li Yuan felt that he was riding a tiger to the south, but so many people were crying out for Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan couldn't completely ignore it. Li Yuan settled his mind and said to the father-in-law of the waning moon beside him:
"Wanyue, you first bring Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei to the side hall for me to settle, in addition, Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, a few of you come in with me." Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi glanced at each other and smiled. When Li Yuan returned to the dormitory, the Hedong beauty who was presented by the warrior Yan saw Li Yuan walking in angrily, and asked Li Yuan curiously:
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on outside? Why is Your Majesty so angry? "Li Yuan is on fire in his heart! directly yelled at the beauty of Hedong:
"Get out of here." When the Hedong beauty saw Li Yuan's angry appearance, she was afraid that she would lose Li Yuan's favor, so she immediately covered her face and ran out. After Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi walked in, Li Yuan shouted:
"Except for Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi, everyone else will go out, close the door, and no one is allowed to eavesdrop!" The eunuchs and palace maids in the dormitory were afraid that Li Yuan would also be angry with them, so they immediately walked out together and closed the door of the palace.
"Say it! Yuanji! Say whatever you want! Li Yuanji handed Li Yuan Liu Ya's confession and the secret letter written by Li Shimin to Liu Heimin that he had obtained from Liu Heimin:
"Father, please see, this is the confession handed over to Erchen by Liu Ya, the secretary of the military department under Liu Heimin, when Erchen and his eldest brother pacified Liu Heimin, and the secret letter." Li Yuan opened the secret letter written by Li Shimin to Liu Heimin, only to see that it read: 'Your Majesty Liu Heimin, since Your Majesty raised the army, the people of Li have suffered and have been overwhelmed, and every time this king sees the battle report, his heart is particularly distressed, so he hopes that our dynasty and His Majesty can turn the conflict into a jade silk, and specially sent Sun Wuji, the elder brother of the lonely king, to come with the letter of this king, and also brought this book of "The Magi Record" compiled by Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, and I hope that Your Majesty can deeply understand the three flavors. The Tang Dynasty Qin King, Taiwei, Lingda Situ, and the forward general Li Shimin personally wrote. Li Yuan trembled angrily. But in front of Li Yuanji, he deliberately pretended to be calm:
"Yuanji, although there is a letter as proof, but there is no certification, it is not enough to rely on!" Li Yuanji said to Li Yuan humbly:
"Father, Erchen has secretly brought Liu Ya in after putting on makeup, and Xie Shufang, the general under Erchen, is personally guarded, and his father and Emperor Ma are invited to send Liu Ya in!" Li Yuan nodded, Liu Ya was made up to look like an old eunuch, and Uncle Xie escorted him to Li Yuan:
"You say, is what is written in this letter true?" Since Liu Heimin's defeat, Liu Ya only wants to save her life, so naturally she will not hide it from Li Yuan for Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, this letter is true, the person who contacted the minister at the beginning was the chief of the Qin Palace, the chief of the Qin Palace, and the uncle of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the eldest grandson Wuji. And promised the ministers that once we defeated Li Jiancheng, they would form an alliance with us, and at that time they would also ask us to help His Royal Highness King Qin ascend to the throne of the crown prince first, and then ascend to the throne of Emperor Li Tang, ah! ...... "It turned out that Li Yuan took advantage of Liu Ya's defenselessness, suddenly stood behind Liu Ya, and stabbed his sword into Liu Ya's body.
"Your Majesty, you ......" Liu Ya closed her eyes. Li Yuan wiped the blood stains from his sword. Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan in surprise, Li Yuan put the sword on Li Yuanji's neck, and Li Yuanji felt the cool air on Li Yuanji's sword:
"Father, you ......," Li Yuan said coldly to Li Yuanji
"Yuanji, where did you get this impostor?"
"Father! That's true...... Target...... True...... ...... indeed"
"What is it? King Qi takes the order! Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi heard that Li Yuan was about to issue an edict, and immediately knelt down to receive the decree:
"Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, deceived the king, arranged an imposter to pretend to be Liu Ya, deceived me, and I remembered that for his young sake, he was eager to save his brother, and he was pardoned for his capital crime and fined him for one year! In addition, according to the performance of King Qi, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was unclear, and he was temporarily released from detention and placed in another palace, but Yang Wengan was once a subordinate official of the East Palace of the crown prince Li Jiancheng after all, and this matter was investigated in detail! Chin this! Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief to each other. However, Li Yuan's later words made their hearts rise again:
"Don't be too happy, pass the decree, and order Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, to quickly quell the rebellion of Yang Wengan, and there must be no mistakes, and after the pacification, return to Chang'an to be rewarded! In addition, today's events must not be leaked out half a word, understand? Li Yuanji, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi all nodded yes.
After Li Shimin got Li Yuan's promise, he returned to Chang'an first, and first settled the situation in Chang'an with Liu Wenjing, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, and Tang Jian, who stayed in Chang'an, and then immediately found Chai Shao:
"Brother Chai Shao!"
"His Royal Highness King Qin! What do you command? ”
"Brother Chai Shao, this king remembers, your Longxi Chai clan has always had connections in the Longxi area, and today this king hopes that Brother Chai Shao can help this king."
"King Qin, please command!" Although the Longxi Chai clan is not as good as the Longxi Dou clan and the Longxi Li clan, it cannot be underestimated, because the Longxi Dou clan and the Longxi Li clan have put their eyes on the central court and the Central Plains official position, in order to survive, the Longxi Chai clan focuses on the Longxi business road, and uses the business road to develop their own contacts, Chai Shao immediately understood what Li Shimin meant.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin hopes that I will ...... the subordinates" Li Shimin nodded:
"This king heard that the governor of Gyeongju, Shi Yan Deshou, has a lot of prestige in the Gyeongju area, but he is unwilling to submit to Yang Wengan and was imprisoned by Yang Wengan, so this king hopes that Brother Chai Shao can go to Gyeongju with his wife's uncle and eldest grandson Wuji, and then rescue Yan Deshou with the help of Chai's connections! So that when King Zhao attacked Gyeongju, he would be able to fight without blood! Chai Shao nodded:
"His Royal Highness King Qin, Weichen understands!" After Chai Shao left, Li Shimin hurriedly sent people to mobilize Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Yin Kaishan and others stationed in Luoyang, and ordered them to quickly lead their elite soldiers and rush to Chang'an immediately! After Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Yin Kaishan and others joined Li Shimin, Li Shimin said to Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Yin Kaishan, and Liu Wenjing, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Tang Jian and others who stayed in Chang'an:
"Everyone, Yang Wengan is brave and good at fighting, he has conquered several cities in a row, and he has almost reached Ningzhou City, this king will lead you to Ningzhou now, if Ningzhou City is defended, and King Zhao succeeds in sneaking attack from behind, then the end of Yang Wengan is not far away." Yang Wengan came to the city of Ningzhou and was about to attack the city, but found Li Shimin at the head of the city:
"Hahaha! General Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, this king has been waiting here for a long time. Yang Wengan was preparing to attack Ningzhou, and his subordinate soldiers persuaded Yang Wengan to say:
"General, King Qin is our Tang God of War, you must not fight with him!" Yang Wengan scolded angrily:
"Humph! Datang God of War! Why did I, Yang Wengan, raise the army, don't you know? Now it's hard to ride a tiger, you can't just forget it, all the soldiers obeyed the order, immediately attacked the city, the first to attack the city tower, the official was promoted to the third level, and once we attacked Chang'an City, we supported His Royal Highness the prince to ascend the throne, and we are all high-ranking officials. Just when Yang Wengan was about to give the order to attack the city, a probe from the back reported:
"Report! Report to the general, Gyeongju City is lost! ”
"What? After the completion of the manuscript wall of Gyeongju City, how could it be lost? ”
"General! It was the city gate opened by the governor of Gyeongju, Shi Yan Deokshou, and the king of Zhao, Li Yuanba, entered the city directly without blood! As soon as I heard that Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, had entered Gyeongju City, I don't know who shouted:
"Gyeongju City is broken, everyone run away!" The soldiers under Yang Wengan's command immediately dropped the flags and swords and guns in their hands and ran in the direction of Gyeongju, but Yang Wengan couldn't stop it, so he had to draw his sword:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has failed to meet your trust!" After Yang Wengan finished speaking, he killed himself.
