Chapter 339: Eldest Sun Wuji's Choice
Li Tai twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see.
Zhou Jin cried and was dragged away.
Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his heart was like a mirror. Prior to this, he received a letter from Li Zhi, the king of Yangzhou, mentioning that he had told Li Tai about Li Chengqian.
It turned out that after Li Su and others received the letter that day, Du He got out of the carriage at that time and ordered Li Dan's messenger not to leave for the time being, he wanted to talk to Li Zhi and ask Li Zhi to write a letter to Li Shimin.
Du He talked to Li Zhi alone and told him how Li Tai assassinated Li Chengqian and Li Su back then. Only then did Li Zhi understand why he went to visit Li Chengqian, and the reason why Empress Changsun didn't let Li Tai go.
Li Zhi saw that he kindly told Li Tai, but Li Tai provoked the incident and wanted to frame Li Su again. Although he has a good relationship with Li Tai, he can't watch Li Tai suffer. So he wrote a letter to Li Shimin.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Shimin became more and more determined that the entire cause of this incident was caused by Li Tai. The reason why he didn't give Zhou Jin a chance to be interrogated was to keep Li Tai.
Zhou Jin was killed.
Zhou Jin was killed, not because Li Shimin killed people casually, but because Zhou Jin touched the core interests of Datang. What Li Shimin wants to maintain is the unity and unity of the imperial court, and Zhou Jin's behavior is precisely to undermine this overall situation.
The ministers were very afraid, Li Shimin's imperial power was becoming more and more stable, and his authority was becoming more and more powerful.
After this turmoil, the interior of Datang has become more stable, which paves the way for the continued development of Zhenguan Shengshi.
Lizheng Palace.
Li Shimin took out Li Zhi's letter and handed it to Empress Changsun.
After reading the letter, Empress Changsun turned pale and said nothing. She really couldn't imagine that Li Tai didn't care about her feelings and openly used her to hit Li Su.
Li Shimin was also very depressed, he wanted to comfort Empress Changsun, but he didn't know what to say for a while. For Li Tai, the two of them were sad and chilling.
Finally, Empress Eldest Sun made up her mind and said, "Let's let Qingque go to the fiefdom." She has figured it out now, if Li Tai continues to do so, once Li Shimin dies, he may not have a way to live.
Li Shimin was depressed. If Li Tai was just targeting Li Su, he could still accept it in his heart. However, he was deeply disappointed by Li Tai's practice of disregarding the overall situation in order to vent his personal anger.
Li Shimin was very conflicted in his heart, and he was very considerate of Empress Changsun's feelings. Li Chengqian left the Great Wall, and Empress Changsun was already deeply affected. If Li Tai is allowed to leave again, the blow to Empress Changsun will be too heavy.
Li Shiming thought about it again and again, and said, "Guanyin, let's talk about this matter later." ”
Empress Changsun couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she didn't mention the matter for the time being.
Li Shimin saw the lonely expression of Empress Eldest Sun and said, "The auxiliary machine (Eldest Sun Wuji) has been to the Western Regions for two years, let him come back." ”
Empress Changsun also missed her brother Changsun Wuji, so she said, "Erlang, look at the arrangement." ”
It is located in the Anzai Prefecture of Luntai. Su Dingfang was in charge of the military, and the eldest grandson Wuji was in charge of the civil affairs department.
The eldest grandson Wuji has outstanding ability and rich experience, and he is worthy of being the first capable minister in the Tang Dynasty and the first person on the list of Lingyan Pavilion. As the envoy of Anxi Xuanfu, he did a good job in the Western Regions. The Western Regions has made great economic and cultural development in all aspects.
On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji and Su Dingfang were studying and dealing with the affairs of the Dayue clan.
The Otsuki clan was originally subordinated to the Kangju Empire, and after the Kangju Empire was annexed by the Persian Empire, it was subordinated to the Persian Empire. After the Persian Empire was attacked by the Arab Empire, the Da Yue clan submitted to the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Persian Empire ceded part of its land to the Tang Dynasty, the country of the Great Moon Clan basically became a state within a state of the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, the need for the existence of this country, no longer exists. The annexation of the Otsuki clan was on the agenda of the imperial court.
Li Shimin authorized the eldest Sun Wuji and Su Dingfang to handle the matter with full authority. In order to smoothly annex the Dayue clan, Li Shimin specially mobilized two cavalry divisions from Yinshan Duhufu, one cavalry division from Longyou Road, and also mobilized 20,000 cavalry from Tuyuhun to prepare for a military solution to the Dayue clan.
On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji received a letter from the eldest grandson queen. Empress Changsun told Changsun Wuji that the emperor had the intention of transferring him back, and let Changsun Wuji make up his own mind.
The eldest grandson Wuji thought twice and thought that it was not a good time to go back now. First, there was a contradiction between him and the crown prince Li Su. Second, the important positions in the DPRK and the Central Committee are now occupied.
He considered that if he went back, the most likely thing was that Hou Junji would be asked to return to the army, and he would still be in charge of the officials, which he felt would be very embarrassing.
He carefully analyzed the current situation and believed that the position of the crown prince Li Su was very stable. The possibility of supporting Li Zhi to compete with him is already very small, and the future world must be the world of the crown prince Li Su.
With his understanding of Li Su, he knows that Li Su is broad-minded and tolerant. Instead of nesting in the imperial court, he might as well do something solid in the Western Regions.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, is already a supreme minister, and he doesn't need any merit. I just feel comfortable in the Western Regions.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji are small and have a close relationship, and he wrote to ask for the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, decided not to return to Chang'an for the time being. He believed that if he was activated by Li Shimin at this time, then the crown prince Li Su would see him as a threat. It's better for him to do things on the border in a solid manner, waiting for the crown prince Li Su to activate himself, this is the long-term way.
So, the eldest grandson Wuji wrote a reply to Li Shimin, saying that he wanted to solve the matter of the Dayue clan here. I have been in the Western Regions for two years and am very familiar with the situation here. If you change people at this time, sending someone who is not very familiar with the situation may be half the effort.
Li Shimin agreed with him.
With a land area of 740,000 square kilometers and a population of 630,000, the Otsuki clan is a relatively wealthy country. Such a large piece of fat has now fallen into the pot, and Li Shimin is already salivating over it, and it is necessary to eat it in his mouth.
At this time, Tang Fei had already left the Anxi Protectorate. The eldest grandson, Wuji, decided to go to the Dayue Clan in person and persuade them to merge into the Tang Dynasty.
The convoy of Li Su and others passed through many states and counties along the way, and came to Nanyang on this day.
When Li Su first came out of Chang'an, he made public the banner of the crown prince, but along the way, officials from all over the country greeted and saw him off along the way, which was really troublesome. So, Li Su decided to stop and be happy.
They arrived at Nanyang at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, although it was still early, Li Su decided to rest here for one night because he had been in a hurry for several days, and then continue to rush tomorrow.
