Renovate the summer of four years.

For Li Tang and Zhao Guo, it was an unquiet summer.

Zhao Guo set the Turks in the north, swept away the troubles in the north, broke Goguryeo, and relieved the worries of the east, and now he can use all his troops to the west to deal with Li Tang.

For Li Tang, Li Jiancheng was killed, Li Yuan was placed under house arrest in Da'an Palace, and Li Shimin became the prince of Li Tang, and Li Tang in his hands faced a situation of internal and external troubles.

There is Li Jiancheng inside, Li Yuanji and the rest of the party are in turmoil, and there is Li Chongjiu and Zhao Guo persecution outside.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he wantonly hunted and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remnants. This is different from the Xuanwumen changes in history, when Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dead, and there was no one in Li Tang to compete with him for the throne, so he could tolerate these remnants, take these people for his own use, and get a good reputation.

At that time, such as Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche, they were all Li Jiancheng's remnants, and they were later reused by Li Shimin.

But now it is different, Li Yuanji was rescued by Li Chongjiu and fled to Zhao State, representing the remnants of the crown prince, and there is still a possibility of recovery.

Therefore, Li Shimin must implement the policy of cutting meat, so in the first month of his ascension to the throne as the crown prince of Li Tang, Li Tang was in a bloody storm.

rescued the prince outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the old generals of the East Palace, Feng Li and Xie Shufang, fled to Zhongnan Mountain, but they were still captured and killed.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng's sons, Li Chengdao, King of Anlu, Li Chengde, King of Hedong, Li Chengxun, King of Wu'an, Li Chengming, King of Runan, Li Chengyi, King of Julu, Li Chengye, King of Liangjun, Li Chengye, King of Yuyang, Li Chengluan, King of Pu'an, Li Chengyu, King of Jiangxia, and Li Chengdu, King of Yiyang. Li Shimin sent people to kill him, and he was exterminated from the genealogy of Li Tang.

In addition, there are thousands of people who have been connected. Either killed or exiled. Within Chang'an. Shrouded in terror.

On the other side of the iron blood, Li Shimin promoted meritorious ministers on a large scale. That is, the person who helped him contribute to the Xuanwu Gate change this time.

At present, Li Shimin takes Yu Wenshi and as the crown prince Zhan Shi, the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui as the left concubines, Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling as the right concubines, Hou Junji as the left guard rate, Cheng Zhijie as the right guard rate, Yu Zhining as the middle housekeeper, Chu Liang as the housekeeper, and Yao Silian as the horse washer.

In the past, the old party of King Qin was reused. And the gold silk utensils obtained by the Qi Wangfu were given to Hou Junji, who had made great contributions.

In order to mitigate the effects of previous killings. Li Shimin also issued an edict for Li Yuan, giving the civil and military attaché a first-class knight to the first rank and a knighthood for the fifth grade, and the sixth rank has been given a medal, which made the frightened officials slightly relieved.

In addition, the old ministers Pei Lian and Xiao Yu, who have always been Li Yuan's confidants, and Feng Deyi, who supports the crown prince, are also courteous. And Li Shimin increased the number of households from 500 to 1,500. Everyone knows that when Pei Lin was there, he embarrassed Li Shimin many times. and supported Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin met him well, which made the officials in the DPRK and China feel a lot more at ease. You can also see Li Shimin's wrist.

Now in the Wuji Palace, Li Shimin is standing on the main hall with his hands in his hands. Li Shimin wears the crown of the crown prince. But with a gesture, he already has the bearing of the Son of Heaven, and all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty are bowing their heads to the side.

This month, Li Shimin has been in charge of Wuji Palace. Everything is in order. not only stabilized Li Tang's split due to Li Jiancheng's death. Moreover, Li Tang's falling national situation has also improved.

Born to be wise. That's it. This is the person who hates Li Shimin the most, and he thinks the same thing in his heart.

Li Shimin turned around from His Royal Highness and said: "Right now, the lonely prince is in charge of the country, and a hundred things are waiting to be done, and hundreds of officials can be sealed to prepare Chen Anren to manage the country." ”

Under Li Shimin's words, His Royal Highness and the ministers suggested one after another, and they all wanted to try their best to show themselves in front of this prince. In the past, Li Yuan employed people, emphasized reading, talked about his background, and at the same time was generous to Yuan Cong heroes like Pei Lin who followed him in Taiyuan.

And Li Shimin is different, he is a meritocrat, not a person who reads his background, but who focuses on ability.

The ministers spoke one after another, and the court was full of expressions, and Li Shimin nodded with a smile when he saw this scene.

"Report! 陛xià, the book province is urgent! ”

"Read!"

"Su Dingfang, the general of Zhao State, smuggled into Heyang and attacked Hanoi, and our general Li Shentong was already lost in Hanoi under the attack of Su Dingfang and Wang Mahan. Li Shentong retreated thirty miles in defeat, and asked His Majesty for reinforcements. ”

This news was like a scoop of cold water, poured on the heads of Li Tang and his ministers, who were discussing with great interest.

The ministers couldn't help but think that it was like this again, whenever Li Tang's situation improved slightly, the attack of Zhao State came. Li Chongjiu is really at peace for a moment, and he doesn't give Li Shimin, who has just inherited the crown prince of Li Tang, in front of him. Only then did he stabilize the situation a little, and Li Chongjiu ignored the simultaneous use of troops on both sides of Yuangai Suwen and Lin Shihong, and gathered men and horses to attack Li Tang. It stands to reason that Zhao Guo has no spare strength now.

But Li Chongjiu is attacking Li Tang and not letting Li Shimin integrate Li Tang in a smooth way.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Cui Dunli came to report that Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, was unwilling to listen to the edict to Chang'an."

Li Shimin listened and said: "Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, is a clan, and he has no military exploits, but he was trusted by his father and used it, and he was entrusted with a general, but now he actually refuses to listen to the announcement. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin was full of anger, all the ministers present knew from the bottom of their hearts that Li Ying and Li Jiancheng had always been good friends. Now that Li Jiancheng is dead, Li Ying is naturally worried that Li Shimin will settle accounts after the fall. I heard that it was Li Yuanji who personally persuaded his uncle not to listen to the announcement to Chang'an, and Li Jin, who was originally cowardly, had the courage to refuse Li Shimin's summons.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Ying is a heavy general in Hedong, if the persecution is too tight, he may demote Zhao at any time, and we can only temporarily appease it at the moment." ”

"Put this in advance."

Du Ruhui said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a good news here right now. ”

"Du Aiqing is not going to talk about it soon."

"No," Du Ruhui said, "In May this year, at the invitation of Li Chongjiu, the Western Turks sent troops to raid Lanzhou and Qinzhou, and Li Chongjiu also sent Liang Shidu to lead the party and Jihu to attack Hezhou. The Western Turkic Yehu Khan was defeated, and he had already sent people to Chang'an to sue for peace. When the Zhao army saw the defeat of the Western Turks, they also retreated. ”

"Chai Aiqing, Yang Aiqing did a good job!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"The clowns like the Western Turks think that I can take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to rob them, but they are asking for hardship. If it was necessary to beat it well in the past, but now that Zhao is persecuting too hard, and its khan has the intention of seeking peace, he should not be persecuted too hard. Pei Lin said to Li Shimin.

"Pei Aiqing's words are wrong," Li Shimin denied Pei Lian's Jianyi Dao in court, "If the Western Turks take advantage of the fire to rob like this, if they let it go like this, Tuyuhun and the countries of the Western Regions will not be more presumptuous in the future, and they must let them know the consequences of offending Li Tang, and order Yang Gongren and Chai Shao to pursue with victory!" ”

Pei Lian's opinion was rejected by Li Shimin, his expression froze, and he retreated in frustration at the moment.

"No!" Du Ruhui was ordered to retreat immediately.

"Qianzhou Hu Chenglang and others killed Changshi, defected to Liang Shidu, and Liu Min, the governor of Qianzhou, led the army to pursue, but let Hu Chenglang escape, and now he has reached Zhao Realm."

"In addition, Duan Decao also has an unstable trend, this person is Li Jiancheng's confidant, but the rest of the party, and now he is also supporting the army and self-respecting, and he is waiting and seeing."

News came one after another, all about the recent rebellion. Although Li Shimin has vigorously and resolutely eliminated a wave of people, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remnants of the rebellion are still continuous. Although most of them have been suppressed, who knows if there will be a resurgence in the future.

After the retreat from the dynasty.

Neishi ordered Xiao Yu to return home, and someone immediately announced: "Xiangye, Xiao Deyan Xiao is here to visit." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "After I change my clothes, let him come to the inner hall to see me." ”

Xiao Yu went to the house and took off his court robe, changed into regular clothes and came to the inner hall. This Xiao Deyan is also from the Lanling Xiao family, the great-grandson of Xiao Siyan, the left servant of the Southern Song Dynasty's famous minister Shangshu.

There are not many children of the Lanling Xiao family in Chang'an, so Xiao Yu is also very close to this nephew, and there are often moves on both sides. Previously, Xiao Deyan served as a waiter in the East Palace in the palace of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, which was a very promising position, but now that Li Jiancheng is dead, everything has changed.

Xiao Yu saw this nephew in the inner hall, but when she saw Xiao Deyan, she cried and bowed down and said, "Uncle, please make the decision for your nephew!" ”

Xiao Yu saw it and sighed: "I know that you have lost your official system, so you can bear with this matter for the time being." ”

Xiao Deyan said: "If you lose your official position, it's fine, but if you are humiliated, how can a seven-foot man endure it." ”

"How did you get insulted?"

Xiao Deyan said: "Uncle, since the former prince was killed by King Qin, the subordinates of the Eastern Palace have their own ways out. I have also made the worst plan before, since the prince fails, then as a close confidant of the prince, it is just a matter of whether I can be liquidated, even if I am interrupted on the way, I have nothing to say, who told me to stand in the wrong line. But...... However, half a month ago, the news came, and in the past, the subordinates of the East Palace rose up one after another, and became officials, but I was the only one who had no news. ”

"At first, I thought that the news was a little slower, but then those people in the East Palace who were lower in official positions than me were all activated, and I haven't gotten the news yet, of course I couldn't sit still and went to the Ministry of Officials to ask. How did I know that the officials of the Ministry of Officials had prevaricated to me many times, but they didn't let me see Shangshu and the waiter. ”

Xiao Yu said: "This is not right, even if Shangshu Shilang is not there, but there is also the main thing, and even the main thing is not you?" ”

Xiao Deyan said: "Yes, I can't help but find a reason for the officials of the ministry, it's useless to quarrel, I can only go back home and ask someone to ask." Finally, I learned the news, it turned out that the officials of the Ministry saw that I was from the Lanling Xiao family, and said that the Lanling Xiao family is now reused in the Zhao State, and if such a person is enabled, I don't know whether I will become a spy of the Zhao State in the future, so I will simply not be elected as an official. Uncle, you say that this is not angry, I am not angry myself, but for you, uncle, I have been treated like this, uncle, are your days in the court more difficult soon? ”

"Does his Li family treat you as a confidant?" (To be continued......)
