Chapter 484: Stabilizing Chang'an (4)
Li Jiancheng waited for news from all walks of life in Renshou Palace. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Soon good news came from all walks of life.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, Lord Song and Lord Di have cleared out the rebels inside and outside Chang'an City, and the Longxi Army under His Royal Highness King Zhao has returned to the barracks. Now the Longxi army under the command of His Royal Highness King Zhao is temporarily under the control of General Hou Junji, and the Tiance army under the command of His Royal Highness King Qin has some troops such as Wei Chi Jingde, Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda and other departments because of the red eye, so the Tiance army under His Royal Highness King Qin has some casualties in the process of subduing, and now the entire Chang'an has calmed down, and the fire in the city has been extinguished. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, General Xu and General Xiong are in the military camp outside the city, and they have already informed the two adults of His Royal Highness's edict to Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche, and the two adults Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche have requested to attack and meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and hope to enter the palace, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and take a look at the injuries of His Royal Highness King Qi by the way!" Li Jiancheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it was good to invite Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche into Renshou Palace, and it would be easy to control anything, if the matter of Li Yuanji's death was concealed for a long time, Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche would go crazy when the time came, and then the entire production would be chaotic again, so the gains would outweigh the losses.
"Okay, tell the two generals Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche, and the palace will allow the two generals to enter the palace. Don't say anything else! β
"Yes! The little one understands! β
"His Royal Highness the Prince Qiqi, the Tiance Army under the command of the Qin Wangfu in the East Palace has laid down its weapons, and the three Niangniang Niang and His Royal Highness on the throne in the East Palace are all fine, except for General Feng Li who stayed behind, Feng Yi, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanbei, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other generals have entered the palace." Li Jiancheng nodded:
"Very good, the order is to order Feng Yi, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanbei, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other generals to fully take over the security work between Renshou Palace and Chang'an, and ensure the safety of the roads inside and outside Renshou Palace and Chang'an. In addition, Pei Xiangguo, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu were also notified to come to see the palace. β
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince! Pei Lian, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu had already changed into brand new court clothes, freshened up and came to Li Jiancheng.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Pei Xiangguo, Xiao Servant, and Chen Servant, the three adults worked hard, returned to Chang'an again, summoned the Li Tang clan and the hundred officials of the imperial court, and said that there was an important matter to announce in the palace."
"Yes, Weichen and others obey the order!" After arranging everything, all Li Jiancheng had to do was wait. Chang'an, due to the turmoil of the entire Chang'an City, is full of ruins and broken walls, and there are ruins that have been burned black everywhere. Of course, the main thing is that the common people suffer more, and the mansions of dignitaries and nobles have no loss for the time being. Huai'an King Li Shentong and his younger brother Xiangyi King Li Shenfu together in their own palace waiting for news, because Huai'an King Li Shentong and Xiangyi King Li Shenfu brothers have a good relationship since childhood, when building the mansion, they built their own mansion together, an adjacent wall in the middle opened a door, Chang'an's soldiers together, Xiangyi King Li Shenfu took his children, wives and concubines to Li Shentong's Huai'an Palace. Originally, Li Shentong asked his family to inquire about the news on the street, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw that the street was full of soldiers who killed people and set fires, and quickly closed the gate, not daring to go out, and ordered the family to take up arms and hold the gate, and his nine sons and the seven sons of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, also wore swords and surrounded Li Shentong and Li Shenfu, and they were subjected to this until dawn. After dawn, the movement of the robbery slowly calmed down. Li Shentong's eldest son, Li Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, said to Li Shentong:
"Father, there's no movement outside now, do you want to open the door and take a look?" Li Shentong shook his head:
"Let's wait!" At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Li Shentong's youngest son, Li Xiaorui, and Li Shenfu's youngest son, Li Wenyun, were originally young, and when they heard the knock on the door, they immediately became even more nervous.
"Father, is someone coming to rob again, shouldn't those rebels come in!" Li Shentong looked at his youngest son and little nephew, and said to them lovingly:
"Come, into the arms of your father and uncle, and be afraid!" At this time, a soft voice sounded outside the door:
"King Huai'an, is the prince of Huai'an here?" Listening to the voice outside the door, Li Shentong and Li Shenfu heard the soft voice and immediately couldn't sit still.
"Is it Master Pei Lin Pei outside the door?"
"It's me, Lord Huai'an, open the door quickly, and now the entire Chang'an City is calm. Now please open the door to King Huai'an! Li Shentong immediately opened the door:
"Ahh It's Pei Xiangguo! β
"Yo! It turns out that the prince of Xiangyi is also here! That way I don't have to make another trip. Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, asked Pei Lian:
"Master Pei, why are you here? Besides, have all the rebels on the street dispersed? β
"Prince Xiangyi, don't worry, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has completely controlled the situation in Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that all the officials of the imperial court and the Li Tang clan gather in Renshou Palace to discuss matters. In order to reassure you, so let me and Lord Xiao Yuxiao, Uncle Chen, Lord Chen, these three old bones have worked hard. "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had completely controlled the situation in Chang'an, and ordered that all the officials of the imperial court and the Li Tang clan gather in Renshou Palace to discuss the matter. The two brothers, Li Shentong and Li Shenfu, slowly understood what was going on. The two brothers, Li Shentong and Li Shenfu, came to Renshou Palace, and saw that all the officials of the imperial court had come, especially Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, and their faces were full of joy. When the hundred officials of the imperial court and all the ministers of the Li Tang clan gathered in front of the Xuanzheng Hall of Renshou Palace. I saw Li Jiancheng wearing a full body of gold armor and a sword at his waist, standing at the door.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jiancheng took out the holy decree issued by Li Yuan:
"Ministers, uncles and brothers, this palace has brought you here today to announce one thing, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has been killed by Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, because of a conspiracy to rebel, and the king of Zhao has also been seriously injured because of the fight against the thieves, and now he is dead......" Li Jiancheng's words were not finished when he heard Xie Shufang's voice.
"May I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, is His Royal Highness the King of Qi okay!?" Li Jiancheng knew that Xie Shufang and Li Yuanji had a deep relationship, and a sad expression appeared on his face.
"His Royal Highness King Qi...... His Royal Highness the King of Qi ......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may I ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi what happened to him?"
"The fourth brother of this palace has died because he wants to save this palace."
"Ahh Xie Shufang roared, spitting blood, and Xue Wanche supported Xie Shufang on the side.
"Brother Uncle Fang, Brother Uncle Fang, wake up!" Xie Shufang opened his eyes slightly. His lips moved, and he fainted again. Li Jiancheng ordered the imperial doctor to treat Xie Shufang, and ordered Xue Wanche to take good care of Xie Shufang on the side. Looking at Xie Shufang, Li Jiancheng sighed lightly in his heart - what a masterpiece! As soon as the people present heard that three of Li Yuan's four sons-in-law had died, and now Li Jiancheng's status as the crown prince could not be shaken, their reactions were different. Li Jiancheng continued:
"My father was hit very badly, so he decided to cultivate. In the future, all the government will be decided by the palace, and the holy purpose is this, please show it to a minister and uncles and brothers of the clan. "Everyone present took turns to look at Li Yuan's holy decree - I lost my way from the former Sui, couldn't bear the suffering of the people, raised troops to assist the government, and then God had mercy on me, and gave me the Zen let of the former Sui Gong Emperor, and ascended the throne as the emperor, I was deeply grateful in my heart every time I thought about it, but I was old, my heart was insufficient, and my virtue was not enough, and now the internal troubles and rebellion army harassed Chang'an, making the people suffer, the Turks invaded, and Guanzhong was endangered. I am determined to take the Zen position and build the crown prince Li Chengcheng, admire this! After everyone present saw it, especially the people led by Li Shentong, Li Shenfu and Li Xiaogong, who had tried their best to promote Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, their faces were a little ugly, but Li Ying's face was full of joy. Li Jiancheng saw it in his eyes and knew in his heart that these people were afraid that they would be purged. However, now is not the time to purge them, so Li Jiancheng remained silent and watched the reactions of those people. At this time, Li Shentong suddenly stepped forward and bowed three times and nine bows to Li Jiancheng.
"The minister Li Shentong is willing to obey the will of the saint, see the new king. The minister Li Tang Dazongzheng and the king of Huai'an, Li Shentong, see the emperor. Immediately afterwards, the sons and nephews of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'anβLi Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, Li Xiaocha, the king of Gaomi, Li Xiaotong, the king of Zichuan, Li Xiaoci, the king of Guangping, Li Xiaoyou, the king of Hejian, Li Xiaojie, the king of Qinghe, Li Xiaoyi, the king of Jiaoxi, Li Xiaoyi, the prince of Liangjun, and Li Xiaorui. and Li Demao, the prince of Linchuan County, and Li Wenjun, the prince of Wei County, all knelt in front of Li Jiancheng and shouted in unison:
"See the emperor!" Li Xiaogong immediately came to his senses, did not lag behind, and ran in front of Li Jiancheng, the king of Lujiang, with Li Jin:
"The ministers see the emperor!" Other civil and military officials also saw Li Jiancheng under the leadership of Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda. Li Shentong continued to perform:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, please Your Majesty will hold an enthronement ceremony today to calm the hearts of the people!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said:
"Da Zongzheng, today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, and my second, third, and fourth brothers all passed away yesterday, and my father is also very sad, plus Chang'an has just been decided, and the Turks are attacking at any time, so I feel that the enthronement ceremony is temporarily alleviated." Li Shentong immediately continued to pat himself on the back:
"Your Majesty is merciful! Blessings to all peoples! Seeing the performances of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, felt a burst of disdain in his heart - hum! It's really a group of villains, when King Qin was in power, you were like sycophants. followed vigorously, but now I will see the wind and rudder.
