Chapter 847: Li Yuan surrenders
Li Yuan and Li Xuanba were relatively speechless, although the two were only a few steps away in the Imperial Garden, but the distance between the two was only clear to the two of them. This is similar to He Zeng back then, just a brocade robe with a majestic hair, but the other is in a cage.
"Father, you're old." After a long while, Li Xuanba said a word softly, but he didn't know what the intention was. Li Yuan's face changed, and Li Xuanba continued: "If you see me in front of my mother's spiritual seat at this moment, I will despise you." It seems that you are now a little different from before. ”
"Xuanba, go with your father." Li Yuan's complexion changed several times, first from red to white, then from white to gray, and his body also became a little crooked, and finally turned into a long sigh, sighing: "Over the years, it was my father who was sorry for you, hehe, I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place!" ”
"My father's concept of family is too heavy, not only for me, but also for my mother." Li Xuanba said in a very calm voice.
Li Yuan's body stiffened, and finally nodded, and said, "Xuanba is right, I'm sorry for your mother, but what about you?" You are persecuting your father now because of an outsider, have you considered my feelings? The dignified number one master in the world, not to help his father and brother, but to help an outsider, this is your filial piety! Li Yuan's anger ignited all of a sudden, and he remembered Yang Guang.
Li Xuanba suddenly smiled and said, "Outsider, brother-in-law is not an outsider, he treats me much better than his brothers." What's more, if it weren't for my brother-in-law finding Sun Simiao, I wouldn't have lived to be sixteen years old, so how could I serve my father and brother? My life was given to me. Besides, what about serving your father and brother? In the end, he was killed by random arrows in Xuanwu Gate, or his head was cut off by Li Shimin. ”
"You, you son of a." Li Yuan's face turned pale and his mind was dizzy. I quickly found a place to sit down. After taking a few breaths, he said: "Li Xin is very shrewd, and he actually asked you to persuade him to surrender, which really looks up to me Li Yuan." ”
"It wasn't my brother-in-law who asked me to come, it was my sister who asked me to come." Li Xuanba said unceremoniously: "It's just that after reporting to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law agreed." ”
"Siniang! Hmph, military affairs are also something that a woman can interfere in, she is really smart, she is so careful. Li Xin can't see it, and the eldest grandson Wuji can't see it, it's really a joke. Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what his daughter meant, and said disdainfully: "Sooner or later, this kind of person will suffer." ”
"Father, now the road is in front of you, after you return to obedience, the same as Xiao Miao, Xiao Mi has lived very comfortably in Chang'an over the years. There is no shortage of money and food, or to travel in the mountains and rivers, or to call friends, there is no obstacle. Li Xuanba said very calmly: "Other sect ministers. Except for Li Xiaogong, Li Daoguang and others who could obtain the title of county duke, the others were inspected by the Ministry of Officials. ”
"Isn't Li Xin afraid that I will kill you?" Li Yuan said faintly.
"Then, I'm afraid that the entire Li family will be buried for me." Li Xuanba also said very calmly: "My body has lived for ten more years, what else is there to be nostalgic for?" ”
"Where's your second brother?" Li Yuan asked again.
"There is no mention of it above the decree." Li Xuanba thought for a moment. Still said seriously.
"Hey! You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. My father is old, and there are some things that he should see clearly. You should also know about the grievances between Jiro and your brother-in-law. I can't say who is right or wrong in this matter, it's just that my father doesn't ask for anything else, and I ask your brother-in-law to leave a bloodline for Erlang! As soon as Li Yuan spoke, the whole person seemed to be a few years older.
"I heard that after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin once sent people to hunt down and kill the blood of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji? I wonder if my father knows about this? Li Xuanba said disdainfully.
Li Yuan's body trembled, stood up, waved his hand, and said: "What you said is right, this is karma, what you said, I know, wait for the holy decree to be issued, you can go out." ”
Li Xuanba looked at Li Yuan's back, sighed slightly in his heart, he saluted Li Yuan's back, and then went out of the palace under the leadership of the inner servant, and when he arrived outside the palace, he found that the outside was already densely packed with people, among the clans, Li Shentong, Li Daozong, etc., among the ministers, such as Pei Lian, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, etc., were all there, and when they saw Li Xuanba come out, everyone was relieved, but they were afraid that Li Yuan would be angry and behead Li Xuanba, and that would be a big thing.
"Xuanba!" Li Daozong didn't care, greeted him, and said, "How is it?" What did the emperor say there? ”
"I don't know." Li Xuanba shook his head, he didn't know what kind of reaction Li Yuan would make in the end, but he also understood that Li Yuan had no capital in his hands. It's just that if Li Yuan surrenders, what should he do in the East Palace? Li Xuanba's gaze fell on Wei Zheng and the others, Li Daozong saw it in his eyes, his heart moved, and he nodded to Li Shentong.
Li Shentong could only sigh secretly, although everyone looked down on what Li Shimin did, but after all, this time the glory of the Li family was going to disappear, Li Yuan went to the emperor, and his return to Chang'an was probably a foregone conclusion, I don't know what will happen to these East Palace subordinates.
After half a ring, I saw a chamberlain come out of the city gate, and the chamberlain was holding a tray in his hand, on which were placed dragon robes, crowns, jade seals and other things, and everyone's faces suddenly became more complicated. Some of them had gloomy faces, some of them were secretly happy, and some of them turned into a long sigh. Li Yuan has already decided to surrender.
"Yin Guogong, this is sent by His Majesty to the villain, from today on, Your Majesty will go to the emperor and return to the Tang Dynasty." The chamberlain knelt on the ground, holding the tray, and said loudly.
"That's very good." Li Xuanba glanced at everyone in the crowd, and finally landed on Pei Lian, and said: "Master Pei, please transcribe the edict and distribute it to all places, so that the troops from all over the country can give up resistance and welcome the Tang Dynasty to enter the city." After Li Xuanba finished speaking, he turned around and left, his son persuaded Lao Tzu to surrender, which was not a very glorious thing.
"Yes." Pei Lin was proud, he finally recovered his power in Dazhao at the end, and he was able to get Li Xuanba's approval, presumably after returning to Datang, he would not only be able to save his life, but also be promoted and make a fortune if he didn't get it right.
"Villain, villain, full villain." Wei Zheng pointed at Pei Lin and snorted coldly: "If the Tang Dynasty uses this person as an official, I, Wei Zheng, would rather go back and be a farmer than serve him Li Xin." ”
"Wei Zheng, don't be complacent, don't forget, you are Li Shimin's person, you know the grievances between Your Majesty and Li Shimin, hehe, the emperor pardoned all the people, but he didn't pardon Li Shimin, Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father, which is a great crime. Today I finally suffered retribution. Pei Lin laughed.
In the crowd, Wei Zheng, Yu Zhining and others changed their faces, no matter what, what Pei Lin said was the truth, when he was outside the city just now, Li Daozong had already told everyone the content of the holy decree, and he also understood Li Xin's attitude towards Li Shimin, although everyone regretted for a while, but it was only regret.
At this time, there were bursts of cheers on the walls of the palace, and many soldiers shouted long live, which could not hide the joy in them. Obviously, he already knew about Li Zhao's surrender.
"No one can stop the people's desire." Li Shentong looked at Li Daozong beside him, but sighed, these soldiers knew that they were against Li Xin, maybe because of the discipline of the army, they had to resist, but the morale of the army had been lost, and it was impossible to achieve victory, and now there was no need to fight, which meant that they could survive, how could they be unhappy!
"I'm afraid these people are the favorite." Wang Jue said to Dugu Huaien beside him: "What they are pursuing is the simplest happiness, but what about you? ”
"Hehe, my Dugu family has nothing else except some money now, although it has declined, but there must be a chance to rise, but other families don't know, they forced me to sell the land at the beginning, tsk, it's okay." Dugu Huaien's eyes showed a trace of gloom, he couldn't forget the scene after Dugu Feng appeared in Chang'an, the families of Hebei and Shandong came to the door one after another, thinking about weakening themselves and dividing up the fields of the Dugu family, and what chilled him the most was the secret support of Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
Now well, Li Xin's army is coming, according to the policy of the Tang Dynasty, the land in Hebei and Shandong will be redistributed, and these clans have mastered the land of so much, which is in Li Xin's taboo, either keep people, give away the land, or neither can be left, this is already a choice in front of the clan.
Wang Jue also sighed, now the overall situation has been decided, in front of the family, the most important thing is the land issue, these people are under Li Yuan, I don't know how many fields have been robbed, and I don't know how many people have become tenants, now that Li Xin is here, according to the Guanzhong example, these fields may not be able to be saved.
"What, Lord Wang, can you think about it?" Dugu Huaien looked at Wang Jue in a funny tone, but his eyes fell on Cui Mingan behind him, and his eyes flashed with viciousness. Finally, he looked at Zheng Shanguo in the distance, this old thing also had a share at the beginning, now it's okay, Li Xin is here, you don't have to do it yourself, I'm afraid these big families will be unlucky.
Cui Mingan and Zheng Shanguo also saw Dugu Huaien's eyes, glanced at each other, turned around and silently walked out of the team, even the other families in the team. Since Li Yuan has been surrendered, it means that Li Xin has achieved the final victory, and what is in front of everyone is how to deal with the future. (To be continued.) )
