Since Ma Zhou became Li Junxian's doorman, Li Junxian asked him to do his own bookkeeping, that is, the work of a secretary. And as a future prime minister, a secretary should be competent. Li Junxian has no chance to recommend Ma Zhou to Li Shimin now, because Ma Zhou has just come to be his guest, and if he recommends it immediately, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not approve of it.

And just a few days after Ma Zhou came, that is, in early October of the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin called Li Junxian to the palace. Li Junxian came to the palace and found that many people were here. The civil officials include Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two heads of civil officials, and many military attaches have come, as if something big is about to happen.

Li Junxian recalled the history of the Tang Dynasty, as if the ninth year of Wude was the change of Xuanwumen, as well as the Turkic invasion, why did Li Shimin call so many people?

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know? Luo Yi rebelled! Li Shimin said in a surprising voice.

When everyone heard the news, they talked about it and seemed to be very surprised. And Li Junxian also recalled in his heart, who is this Luo Yi. This Luo Yi was actually an overlord in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but later when he saw that the Tang Dynasty was strong, he took the initiative to take refuge in it. When he took refuge, he was named the Duke of Yan, and later he was crowned the king of Yanjun and given the surname Li, so he was also named Li Yi. He can be said to have reached the pinnacle of being a minister, and if he doesn't rebel, it is not impossible to become the prime minister.

If according to Li Junxian's thoughts, in fact, Luo Yi did not want to rebel from the beginning, he once asked to enter the court when Li Yuan was in power. The so-called entry into the dynasty is to enter the capital as an official, so he is almost giving up his military power. And as an old warlord, how could he not know the key to being transferred to the center in troubled times? Since he was able to take the initiative to give up his military power, it showed that he was still loyal to Li Tang. And Li Yuan also showed his trust in him, and instead let him take the initiative to defend Jingzhou and defend against the Turks.

However, it is recorded in history that the reason why Luo Yi rebelled was because he was Li Jiancheng's henchman. After Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin, although Li Shimin was crowned Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, he was still not at ease. At this time, some so-called Taoist priests encouraged him to rebel, saying that he was the true son of heaven and a true dragon. As a result, he really believed it, so he rebelled. Historically, it was the first year of Zhenguan that rebelled, but this time it was actually a few months earlier. But Li Junxian will not be too strange, because Li Shimin ascended the throne a few months ahead of schedule, if you calculate it this way, Luo Yi is still more capable of forbearance.

"What? Datang treats him like this, he actually wants to rebel? "Your Majesty, this wolf-hearted beast must send troops to quell the rebellion!" "yes!"

The ministers all demanded that troops be raised to quell the rebellion, because of course they had to show their loyalty at this time. If someone rebels and does not protest strongly, that is, of course, a sign of disloyalty.

"By the way, Wen Yanbo Shilang, why are you still here?" A yin and yang voice came.

The one who was called Wen Yanbo immediately replied: "Liu Sheren, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Do you need to say it? Wen Shilang, you are from Luo Yi's subordinates, and now that Luo Yi has rebelled, aren't you the same party? Liu Sheren asked.

"Joke, since I became an official in the court, I have long broken off relations with Luo Yi and have never been in contact. Now that Luo Yi is rebelling, how can I be a member of the same party? If I were a member of the same party, then I should have gone to Youzhou to seek refuge with him a long time ago. ”

"Then it is also possible that you are doing a detailed work in the court and listening to the truth of the court!"

"You're spewing blood!"

The two quarreled like this, and Li Junxian was speechless for a while. This Wen Yanbo originally worked under Luo Yi, but later followed Luo Yi into the center as an official. Now that Luo Yi has rebelled, of course he is suspected of being a member of the same party. However, historically, he is not a fellow party of Luo Yi. Now his position is Zhongshu Shilang, that is, the second-in-command of Zhongshu Province, and he may have the opportunity to become the prime minister at any time. The person who opposed him was a Zhongshu Sheren in Zhongshu Province, that is, the real official of Zhongshu Province, who was responsible for drafting the edict for the emperor.

This Liu Sheren must want to use this incident to make Wen Yanbo stink and pull him off the horse, so that he can be on top of the throne. But Liu Sheren definitely underestimated Li Shimin's generosity, and if other emperors were to rebel against such a thing, they would definitely rather kill the wrong person and never let it go. However, Li Shimin is very able to distinguish between right and wrong, and even if someone rebels, he will not easily implicate anyone, which is Li Shimin's advantage. Even if Hou Junji rebelled later, Li Shimin never forgot Hou Junji for the rest of his life, and wanted to pardon Hou Junji, but the officials did not agree. From this point of view, Li Shimin attaches great importance to affection. Therefore, if in terms of safety, if you are an official under Li Shimin, your family name and life are still guaranteed most of the time. Liu Sheren obviously misjudged the emperor, and I am afraid that he will suffer.

When Li Shimin just wanted to say something, he was saluted by a large group of people and said: "Please Your Majesty remove Wen Yanbo from his post to see the after-effects." ”

Baiguan obviously didn't trust this Wen Yanbo very much, because after all, he was Luo Yi's subordinate, and he was Luo Yi's subordinate when he was on the dominant side, which was even more suspicious. And now Wen Yanbo can't tell his own situation even if he has a few mouths.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin originally wanted to continue to emphasize his position, but Li Junxian came out at this opportunity.

"Your Majesty, please ask the emperor not to remove Wen Yanbo from his post." Li Junxian said.

"Your Majesty, Wen Yanbo's loyalty is certain, when he was captured by the Turks last year, he was able to refuse to explain the truth of the grain and grass, and did not say a word. From this point of view, Wen Yanbo is still very loyal to our Datang. What's more, we have no actual evidence to prove that Wen Yanbo and Luo Yi are involved, and if Wen Yanbo is still removed from his position in this case, I am afraid it will chill many people. After all, there are still many people who have taken refuge from others, and if they have to be removed from their posts without a trace of evidence, not even rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows, it will chill many people. Li Junxian said.

Wen Yanbo looked at Li Junxian with a grateful look. And Li Junxian's words actually pulled many ministers of the court into the water, because including Li Junxian, countless ministers of the court and the central government have taken refuge from other warlords, and Li Tang is like a "garbage" recycling station. If a person is removed from his position now for something that is not even rumored, will they be removed from his position because of this matter in the future? In this way, countless people changed their positions and no longer forcibly removed Wen Yanbo from his position.
