761.Chapter 761: A duel between brothers
Cheng Yanjin dreamed of being a generalissimo, but he was not uncommon as a generalissimo for counterinsurgency, and he didn't want to go to counterinsurgency. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that he has anything to do with Li You, the king of Qi, Li You is just a gentleman, how can he have anything to do with Li You?
The main thing is that this Li You is Li Shimin's son, even if he rebels, then he is also Li Shimin's son, how can he fight this battle by himself?
Ping must be able to be flat, but what about after flat?
What if you hurt Li You during the war?
After all, he is Li Shimin's son, after the peace, what if he doesn't die, he may be resurrected on the spot at any time, and the people who rebel against them will suffer at that time.
Of course, this is not the main problem, the main problem is that there are many brothers and sisters of this Li You, and if you kill Li You, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be targeted by these brothers and sisters of his, so Cheng Bites Jin will not do such a drudgery.
"Back to the saint, the minister has been feeling unwell recently, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to put down the rebellion."
Li Shimin's brows condensed slightly, and he looked Cheng Yanjin up and down, as if he didn't see any discomfort there, and looking at his mental head, he was the best among all the ministers.
"Cheng Aiqing, do your best for the country......"
"The minister has more than enough heart but not enough power......"
"Hou Aiqing, what about you?"
"Shengshang, it hasn't been long since Weichen returned to the capital...... "Hou Junji is preparing for a rebellion, how can he leave the capital at this time."
The ministers of the court and the central government were reluctant to quell the rebellion, and at this time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, suddenly stood up: "Father, the sons are willing to share the worries of their father." ”
The ministers of the court are afraid of Li You, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, is not afraid, and in his opinion, if he can quell the rebellion in one fell swoop this time, he will be able to prove his strength even more, and even if he competes for the position of the crown prince at that time, it will be more convincing.
The other ministers of the court refused to do this, and finally had to hand it over to Li Tai, the king of Wei, to do it, and after this matter was decided, he withdrew from the court.
As soon as he retired from the court, Hou Junji hurriedly went to the East Palace and told the crown prince Li Chengqian about it, and after hearing this, the prince Li Chengqian immediately said angrily: "Damn, hateful, if Li Tai, the king of Wei, leaves the capital, how can we assassinate him?" ”
Hou Junji sighed lightly and said, "I can only wait for another opportunity." ”
The crown prince Li Chengqian snorted coldly, he was very displeased with Li You in his heart, blame him for when he rebelled, why did he rebel when he wanted to rebel?
But he also felt that it was a pity, his younger brother he still understood, he had no ability, and he was very arrogant, he was so far away from the capital in Qizhou, is it strange that the rebellion can succeed?
No brains, no brains.
The crown prince Li Chengqian shook his head, and then said to Hou Junji: "General Hou, now that Li You has rebelled, we can't lag behind, you have to hurry up, and after Li Tai, the king of Wei, is rehabilitated, it's time for us to do it." ”
Hou Junji nodded: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured, now the last general has contacted many officials in the DPRK and China, and they have all expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as the time comes, we will be able to succeed in one fell swoop." ”
"Okay, if this prince can be the emperor, he will repay the general."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too polite, this is what the last general should do......"
---------------------
Li Tai, the king of Wei, led his troops to Qizhou to quell the rebellion, and Li You, the king of Qi, was not vulnerable at all, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, went for four or five days, and then exterminated the rebels, and captured Li You, the king of Qi, and escorted him to the capital.
On the way, Li Tai, the king of Wei, taught Li You and the villains around him a lesson.
And just when Li Tai, the king of Wei, was teaching these people, Li Tai, the king of Wei, asked some of their comrades in the court from the villains around Li You.
How can it be done only to quell the rebellion in Qizhou, Li Tai, the king of Wei, has always wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so some of their forces in the court must also be dealt with.
After returning to the capital, the king of Wei handed over Li You, the king of Qi, including those of their comrades in the capital Chang'an.
At the same time, how to deal with Li You became a problem for the court.
Li You's rebellion is a capital crime.
It's just that Li You is Li Shimin's son, and it's hard to say whether Li Shimin wants to kill him or not.
Some ministers in the court suggested killing Li You, after all, this is the law of the imperial court, and it cannot be abolished because of this, and some people think that Li You's life should be spared and demoted to a concubine.
The courtiers discussed a lot, and finally Li Shimin threw the question to Li Tai, the king of Wei.
"King Wei, this Qizhou rebellion was quelled by you, how to deal with Li You, I want to hear your opinion."
For Li You, Li Tai, the king of Wei, did not have any brotherly affection, so after Li Shimin asked him, he immediately stood up and said: "Father, the law of the court cannot be abolished, and the sons suggest that he be demoted to a commoner first, and then given death." ”
These words are a bit ruthless, Li Shimin's heart suddenly sank, secretly thinking that his son is really a ruthless character, I heard that on the way to Beijing, Li Tai, the king of Wei, had already killed more than 40 Li You's comrades, and after returning to the capital, he was not idle for a moment, letting people arrest people everywhere, and now he is going to kill Li You, he really doesn't care about his brotherhood.
However, although Li Shimin thought so, he did not object, Li You rebelled, this is the first time that his son rebelled after he had been on the throne for so many years, and this rebellion shocked him greatly.
Therefore, even if he doesn't want to kill his son at all, in order to make people understand the cost of rebellion, he still has to kill people, not only to kill Li You, but also to spare none of Li You's comrades, he wants people to know that rebellion, not only will the mastermind be executed, but those who follow the rebellion, and none of them want to take advantage of it, they must die, only if they feel terrified, they will not be attached to a certain prince to do something rebellious.
In Li Shimin's view, rebellion, the prince's thoughts accounted for a part, and the support of the minister accounted for a part, and if he did not have the support of Cheng Biting, Jin Wei, Chi Gong and others, he was unlikely to rebel.
If a person has strength, he naturally has the ambition to rebel, but if the ministers of the DPRK and China are afraid of rebellion, then even if the prince has that heart, he may not have the courage.
For a while, Chang'an, the capital, was arresting people everywhere and killing people, as long as the same party was convicted, they would be immediately pulled out and killed, and Chang'an City, which had been calm for many years, was suddenly cloudy.
Li Shimin has been the emperor for many years, and he has been very good to the people over the years, and the people are very free, whether it is freedom of speech or others, but no one can deny that when he kills people, it is still very terrifying.
The Son of Heaven was angry, and the blood flowed like a river, and this sentence was never just a talk.
And when the people of the Criminal Department were arresting people everywhere, Su Gan Chengji was arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department because he was involved with one of Li You's comrades.
