Chapter 2 The dispute under the city of Youzhou
Although the political situation in Chang'an is stable, but the local situation is still turbulent, and soon Yizhou broke out once**, Dou Rail in the imperial court without a trace of awareness, set up an ambush to kill the military department Shangshu Wei Yunqi, this ** made Li Shimin deeply feel uneasy
Li Shimin has issued an edict to "amnesty" the world, but this situation still happens locally, which is still good, at least Dou Liang killed Li Jiancheng's old department, but through this incident, it is not difficult for Li Shimin to see that the local cause is **. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Li Shimin immediately summoned Cui Dunli, the general secretary, in the East Palace, and ordered Cui Dunli to leave Youzhou immediately tomorrow to summon Li Jin, the governor of Youzhou.
After Cui Dunli left, Li Shimin said thoughtfully to Xu Ziling on the side: "Ming ** will go with him, I don't worry about this guy." ”
"Huh? Why not? Xu Ziling asked puzzled. Cui Dunli is a person of the Boling lineage, and when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, the Boling Cui family immediately held down the family that was about to move, which undoubtedly indirectly helped Li Shimin, and it stands to reason that Li Shimin should not be like this.
"These families only value interests, and they must not have any emotional relationship with them!" Li Shimin said, "They are not as good as you and me." There are many things that you still don't understand, but you have to remember that the family, we just need to make use of them, and we must not pin any hope on them. ”
Many important ministers in the DPRK and China are monopolized by people from the family, and maybe sometimes you, the ruler of the empire, have to look at their faces! During this period of time, Li Shimin only had a little political opinion that was unfavorable to the family, and he couldn't implement it at all. This threat made Li Shimin deeply feel the threat of the family!
Xu Ziling was thoughtful, not among them, Xu Ziling felt that he really didn't understand what Li Shimin said, and said a faint "oh".
"Ming** took the special task force and Cui Dunli to go together." Li Shimin said, "Youzhou is a military powerhouse, there is no room for a little mistake, the king of Lujiang was born cowardly, not a general, but Aya in order to suppress Youzhou, and not worried about the generals with foreign surnames, so he sent the right general Wang Junkuo to assist." ”
"At that time, when Lone mutinied, Li Ying supported Li Jiancheng with power, and Lone dared to guarantee that if Lone failed to return to Luoyang, he would be chased and beaten by this guy!" Li Shimin continued, "It's not that he can't be tolerated alone, but the geographical location of Youzhou is too special, and such a person is not allowed to continue to guard, you must be more careful with that Wang Junkuo." ”
Xu Ziling knew that Li Shimin had begun to indirectly cultivate his own group of people, and for such an important matter, Li Shimin could have sent an experienced person, such as Wei Chi and others, but Li Shimin chose himself!
"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice. Xu Ziling said.
"Hehe, now it's not as good as before, there are still a lot of things to do, Lonely, it's stressful! Both politically and spiritually! Go down and prepare yourself. Li Shimin waved his hand.
Xu Ziling understands Li Shimin, you have to do better, otherwise the people will still miss the dead Li Jiancheng, so you have to work hard.
Xu Ziling left helplessly, how can he help Li Shimin now? No matter what, what kind of thing a person does, what consequences must be suffered, since you have chosen to dominate the empire, then you must bear endless pressure, both mentally and politically, you must turn the tide!
Early the next morning, Cui Dunli took a group of people to Youzhou and set off!
Youzhou, which is a very important military place, is of great significance to the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty internally, assisting Li Tang to eliminate the separatist forces. Externally, it is an important route for the Turks and Fan people to enter the Central Plains.
Xu Ziling and Cui Dunli came to the city of Youzhou, looking at the devastated city gate, Xu Ziling wanted to sigh a few words, but immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, Xu Ziling couldn't help frowning, "Cui Sheren, it seems a little wrong to mark it, or we don't enter the city first, and send someone to investigate before entering." ”
Xu Ziling dared to guarantee that the communications officer had come to Youzhou a day in advance, since Youzhou already knew that the imperial court was coming, then it was impossible not to have the slightest movement, these people were by no means fools, and they didn't understand this rule in the officialdom, so there could only be another situation......
Cui Dunli didn't know how much Xu Ziling had contributed to the Cui family, he only knew that now the Cui family was the head of the family, and even the imperial court had to give some face, and now this little Qianniu was actually pointing fingers at himself!
"Hmph, what can be wrong, if you don't have any guts, how can you be your Royal Highness's personal guard. Come with me into town! Cui Dunli didn't put Xu Ziling's words in his ears at all, what does this hairy boy know?
Lao Tzu has been an official for so many years, is it possible that he is not as good as you hairy boy? Now that Li Shimin has calmed down the world, this Youzhou Li Ying is already cowardly, and he is Li Jiancheng's person, he must be panicked at this moment, I am afraid that he has prepared wine and beautiful women at home and is waiting for Lao Tzu to appease him!
"Cuisheren, don't you realize that since they already know that we are coming, why don't there be any people to greet us?" Xu Ziling didn't want to take his brothers to follow this fool to death!
Oh, yes? It stands to reason that this is indeed a bit weird, Cui Dunli knew that Xu Ziling's analysis was reasonable, but he still kept a straight face: "What does the kid know? Come with me into the city, and whoever does not listen to the command, behead! ”
Xu Ziling listened to the words of this stubborn old man, and at this moment he understood the intention of Li Shimin's words, "When necessary, do it cheaply." ”
"I don't want to take my brother with you to die, if you do, let me go!" Xu Ziling said disdainfully to Cui Dunli.
"Behead this traitor for me!" Cui Dunli pointed at Xu Ziling with trembling hands, this kind of kid who has no respect and doesn't know etiquette has become Li Shimin's Qianniu guard? Sure enough, it was the group of wild men of the Guanlong Group, who had no education at all.
Xu Ziling is disobeying the order, which is equivalent to rebellion, Cui Dunli thinks that no one will follow this guy at all, and he will kill this guy on the spot.
But the result was beyond Cui Dunli's surprise, although more than half of the people followed Xu Ziling, only a small half of the soldiers did not move.
That's right, the people who followed Xu Ziling were all soldiers from the Qin Palace, who were trained by Xu Ziling!
"You...... You, when you return to Jingshi, I will definitely join you, you wait! Cui Dunli walked towards Youzhou City in a huff.
Xu Ziling smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will cut you down now, so that you can't go back?" ”
When Cui Dunli heard this, he stumbled, almost fell, and didn't return with the soldiers, and hurriedly ran towards the gate of Youzhou.
