Chapter 358: Long-distance and close attack
On the fifth day of February in the first year of Taixing, it was the spring ploughing season, Li Yi, Yang Fugong and others were escorted to the capital Chang'an, and the envoy also brought a handwritten letter from Li Maozhen, the envoy of Fengxiang Festival.
Chan let Li Yu, who was on the throne, return to the capital, and Yang Fugong, who had kidnapped Li Yu, was escorted to the capital, which caused a huge sensation in the imperial court, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had their own thoughts and had completely different views on this matter.
The officials of the former Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion who followed Li Rupei to the capital were very happy, Li Yu returned to the capital, Yang Fugong and his fellow henchmen were all escorted to the capital, and the jade seal also returned to the capital, which indicates that Li Rupei's position as emperor is more stable, and no one can shake it, as for how to deal with Li Yu and Yang Fugong and others, their attitude is also very clear, that is, to resolutely kill Yang Fugong and his henchmen and comrades, as for Li Yu, he can also go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to spend the rest of his life, Of course, some people suggested that Li Yi should not be let go, after all, he was the previous emperor, and he must still have some appeal, so it was very detrimental to stabilize Li Rupei's throne by letting it go so easily.
As for the civil and military officials in the capital, this time the opinions are very unified, that Yang Fugong and his confidants should be killed, and they must not be let go, how to deal with Li Yu's affairs, most of the officials think that it is better to let Li Yu go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to live, because Li Yu took the initiative to cede the throne to Li Rupei, and he can be named the emperor.
The general opinions of the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs were all gathered here by Li Rupei, including the suggestions of the political affairs hall for deliberation.
Honorifically called Li Yi the emperor, and beheaded Yang Fugong and his comrades.
Li Rupei did not hesitate, and quickly approved this suggestion, he knew very well that when Yang Fugong was in control of power in the capital, most of the civil and military officials were attached, and now Yang Fugong was escorted to the capital. Many officials were worried that Li Rupei would settle old scores, so they eagerly hoped that Yang Fugong and his comrades would be directly killed.
As for Li Yu, who is respected as the emperor, there is no problem, what is it to give a title, Li Rupei never believed that Li Yu was able to rebel, I am afraid that he will be able to live quietly in Luoyang, the eastern capital. It's the biggest wish.
Li Rupei did not plan to see Yang Fugong, he also knew that the Chinese and martial arts ministers were watching, if he went to see Yang Fugong, I don't know how many people were worried, so in order to stabilize many civil and military ministers, he would not go to see Yang Fugong.
Li Rupei originally planned to go to Li Yi gradually, after all, this Li Yi was his uncle, but his idea was dissuaded by Cui Anqian. Cui Anqian believes that such a meeting is not easy to control, both parties will be embarrassed, and it is better not to meet.
By February 15th. Yang Fugong and his allies were all beheaded, and Li Yi was also sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
According to the unchanged history, Li Yi was able to live for a year, and then Tang Zhaozong succeeded to the throne. But now that history has changed, many things may not be explained.
The palace maid who was responsible for serving Li Yi reported that Li Yi was very poor physically and mentally. I'm afraid of seeing people, the diet is also very bad, and I have lost a lot of weight, and the whole person looks in a trance, although the daily life is very good, but Li Yi eats very little, most of the time is in a daze, and I don't know what to think.
The imperial doctor also looked at it and thought that Li Yi was depressed and attacked the heart, which belonged to the category of heart disease and needed to be slowly regulated.
Li Rupei knows very well that Li Yi's limit is coming, when a person suffers so many insults and frightes, and he can't recognize and treat it correctly, his body will definitely change dramatically, Li Yi obviously doesn't have such ability, as the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty, after encountering humiliation, he is depressed, and his body will collapse quickly, unless he ascends to the emperor's throne again, he may be able to hold on for a while, but unfortunately there is no such possibility now.
On the day that Yang Fugong and his comrades were beheaded, Li Rupei issued an order to move the emperor to the eastern capital Luoyang to recuperate for the rest of his life, and at the same time, all the officials above the third rank of the Ming court sent Li Yi out of the capital.
After Li Yi left the capital and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, Cui An reported that after Li Yi saw many civil and military ministers, he had no reaction or performance, and he was very indifferent, as if he didn't know everyone.
Li Rupei secretly sighed to himself, Li Yu, who was originally in history, was still a tragic figure, leaving nothing, but suffered insults from the eunuchs Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong.
March 15th.
The government affairs hall began to discuss the affairs of Kawa Province, Kawa Province, Kawado Province, and Kannai Province in earnest.
The feudal towns in the north, after Li Rupei ascended the throne, showed almost nothing, not to say support or opposition, but after Li Yi was respected as the emperor and Yang Fugong and his comrades were killed, the feudal towns in the north began to play and fold, expressing their support for the emperor, willing to pay taxes on time, obey the imperial decree, and obey the emperor's holy decree.
Of course, these twists and turns did not mention the affairs of the army at all, let alone the appointment of the northern Jiedu envoys, they all knew that the emperor had redivided the north, leaving only Hebei Province, Henan Province, Hedong Province and Guannei Province, and named the place occupied by the Turks as Xinjiang Province, which indicated that the Jiedu envoys needed a large number of reductions, which would kill the northern feudal towns, and they would not mention such a sensitive matter.
The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to deal with the northern feudal towns.
Headed by Gao Chibang, the imperial court must hurry up to recover many places in the north, completely exterminate the feudal towns, and not allow the feudal towns to control the army on their own.
Led by Zheng Congyan, he believes that under the current situation, do not conquer the feudal towns for the time being, the number of feudal towns in the north is huge, even if it is to completely exterminate the feudal towns, it is not a matter of a while, the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang and Henan Mansion and other places, still need to spend energy to rectify, if it can be stabilized for about a year, so that the capital Chang'an and other places can be completely stabilized, then the time to conquer the northern feudal towns is completely ripe.
At the same time, Zheng Congyan also believed that even if it was to conquer the feudal towns, it was necessary to adopt two sets of means to make some weak feudal towns surrender, and those powerful feudal towns in the hometown should adopt the method of distant and close attacks, and they must not attack in an all-round way, so that all the feudal towns are united, and the difficulty of exterminating them will increase.
Cui Anqian is inclined to Zheng Congyan's opinion, the capital is extraordinary, and the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, the primary task at present is stability, once the Beijing division Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang are completely stabilized, then all the conditions will be ripe, whether it is the conquest of the feudal town or the Turks, there is no problem.
The controversy in this political hall is not very long, Gao Chibang also believes that Zheng Congyan's opinion is carefully considered and is in line with the actual situation, after all, the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and the people have not yet completely stabilized.
After discussing the affairs of the feudal town and the Turks, Cui An unexpectedly proposed another matter, that is, the issue of the emperor's harem, it is said that the political hall cannot discuss such things, but the situation is somewhat special, the queen mother suggested several times that the emperor should consider the affairs of the harem, the emperor ignored it, and the vague past, the queen mother had no choice, and asked the political affairs hall to discuss this matter and make suggestions directly to the emperor.
After Cui Anqian brought up this matter, everyone was dumbfounded, this harem is the emperor's family affair, Cui Anqian participated in it, and he was able to explain, after all, the identity is different, but others can discuss whether it is inappropriate, if the emperor loses his temper, everyone has nothing to say.
You must know that the emperor attaches great importance to the political hall, and many major matters must be discussed by the political hall, and the emperor also specifically emphasized that when the political hall deliberates, everyone must start from the perspective of public heart, and must not be selfish, which leads to unnecessary disputes when discussing things, and sometimes, the emperor even personally participates in the political hall proceedings.
The government hall has never discussed the affairs of the harem, but the emperor's situation is also very special.
As soon as Cui Anqian finished speaking, Zheng Congyan spoke, and bluntly said that it is not appropriate to discuss this matter in the political affairs hall, this is a matter of the emperor's family, and the emperor and the queen should make a decision, and it is inappropriate for the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss such a thing, no matter what.
Cui Anqian also has some helplessness, in fact, he doesn't want to bring up this matter, but in the emperor's harem, there are only the queen mother and the five wives, this can't be said, the world and the ministers of the court will not talk about the emperor, but will secretly talk about the queen's mother, and the same meeting will discuss the Cui family, which is difficult for Cui Anqian to bear, and he is unwilling to see.
In fact, after serving as the first prime minister, Cui An worked diligently, for fear of making the wrong decision, the more the emperor trusted, the more cautious he was, and often reminded the personnel and children of the Cui family that they must be loyal to the emperor with all their might, and must not do anything wrong, which is very important to the Cui family, after all, the Cui family of Qinghe has faintly become the first prestigious family in the Tang Dynasty, and in everything, we must be cautious.
Zheng Congyan thinks that the political hall should not discuss the affairs of the harem, and Cui Anqian has no choice, he actually knows that it is definitely inappropriate to discuss the affairs of the harem.
After the discussion in the political affairs hall, Cui Anqian, Zheng Congyan, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang, Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui and Cui Shenyou and others got up and went to Zichen Palace, and the rest of the Shangshu Yushi went to work on their own things.
Along the way, Cui Anqian was thinking about the harem, and it seemed that he was going to bring it up directly. (To be continued......)
