112, Luo Yi rebelled
The time soon came to March of the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, and it had been more than half a year since Jingwen traveled to the Tang Dynasty. At this time, everyone still started working as usual, and it didn't seem to be affected. The only one who was affected was Jingwen, since his official position became that of the palace attendant, he had to go to the regular meeting with Emperor Li Shimin every day before he could leave. Because there are several official positions that have to be routinely visited by the emperor every day, and the imperial history of the palace is one of them. And others very much want to be close to the emperor, but as a person who regards business as more important than officialdom, he is a little helpless.
Today, Li Shimin's face was very bad, so everyone was a little surprised, obviously not knowing what was going on. And those few people at the level of prime ministers all reminded one after another, because they were afraid of offending the emperor.
"Li Yi rebelled!" Li Shimin finally said this.
"Li Yi? Did he rebel? Everyone exclaimed.
"News just came from Youzhou that Li Yi had rebelled. Because the road is remote, it only reached Chang'an a month later, so ......," Li Shimin said helplessly.
Obviously, the ancient news communication channels were too helpless, even if the military newspaper was transmitted by fast horses, it would take a month to get from Youzhou to Chang'an. And one month is enough to change a lot of things. This news was news from a month ago, so now that the situation is so erosive, Li Shimin, a military person, has a headache.
"Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty is as important to Li Yien as a mountain, why should he rebel?" Wei Zheng said.
Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "Because of me! He turned out to be Li Jiancheng's cronies, so I ascended the throne, and he was afraid of being liquidated by me, so he rebelled. ”
"Your Majesty, don't mention these useless things now, let's quickly find a way to quell the rebellion!" Du Ruhui, who was good at scheming, immediately understood the key to the matter, and now it was not to discuss the reasons for the rebellion, but to find a way to quell the rebellion.
And Jing Wen next to him heard the name Li Yi, and his eyes suddenly lit up, Jing Wen had indeed heard of this Li Yi.
Li Yi's real name is Luo Yi, who was originally an official of the Sui Dynasty, and later created a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty and seized the Youzhou area. After that, he took refuge in the Tang Dynasty and was rewarded, first as the Duke of Yan, and later as the King of Yanjun, and was given the surname Li, so he was called Li Yi.
And Jingwen didn't go to him specifically for this reason, but he watched the TV series "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and found that Luo Cheng's father was called Luo Yi, and when he found Luo Cheng's information, he also found Luo Yi's information by the way. Later, although he knew that there was no such person as Luo Cheng in history, he remembered Luo Yi's information.
This Luo Yi was really good at the beginning, after all, he was also a big man on the separating side. But later in the Tang Dynasty, he supported Li Jiancheng and was hostile to Li Shimin. Now that Li Shimin has ascended the throne, he is afraid of being liquidated and retaliated by Li Shimin, so he immediately rebelled.
However, the most ridiculous thing is that in history, Li Shimin hurriedly sent troops to quell the rebellion, but Luo Yi's subordinates were already discussing how to cut off Luo Yi's head to invite credit. Although Luo Yi discovered the two subordinates who planned in time and captured one, the other immediately led troops to attack Luo Yi. I have to say that Luo Yi has been pampered for many years, and he has lost the ability to command the war, so he couldn't even fight his subordinates and was defeated. After that, he took dozens of cavalry and wanted to flee to the Turks, but he was beheaded by those scattered soldiers on the way, and he went to the Tang Dynasty to ask for merit and reward. A rebellion that seemed to be huge was put down bloodlessly.
But now Li Shimin doesn't know these things at all, and they are still thinking about how to quell the rebellion. Obviously, this rebellion is not so easy to deal with, because Luo Yi has tens of thousands of troops, which is enough to affect the general trend of the world. If Luo Yi succeeds, then the world will probably become the era of rebellion again.
"Your Majesty, now you have to send a large army immediately to suppress Luo Yi's rebellion." Du Ruhui first made an opening remark.
Next, everyone expounded on the importance of quelling the rebellion, the urgency and necessity, and everyone determined that this rebellion must be quelled, otherwise there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit to the Tang Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous." A voice said.
"Huh?" Everyone followed the voice and looked over and found that Jingwen was there and said unhurriedly.
"Boy Jingwen, what are you doing here? Why are you still here, now that everyone is discussing military affairs, why should you, a seven-rank petty official, interject? Wei Zheng asked.
According to common sense, although Jingwen was on the scene, not everyone was qualified to speak. Jingwen, a petty official, where is he qualified to speak in front of this militaristic event!
"You might as well let this kid talk about it, and we'll hear it at the same time!" A veteran actually said.
"Pharmacist?" Li Shimin looked at this veteran with some surprise.
This veteran is Li Jing, he can actually help Jingwen speak, which makes others a little surprised. And Jingwen didn't know why Li Jing would help him speak, but he knew to seize this opportunity.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous, Luo Yi is going against the sky. I believe that now that the world is ready for peace and people's minds are at peace, I am afraid that not everyone wants to rebel against Luo Yi. With a ready-made official position and peace not to enjoy, why do you want to do that kind of thing of rebellion with your head? Therefore, the minister thought that it was better not to be so nervous. Jingwen said.
"Oh? Do you mean that there will be infighting within Loi? Li Jing asked curiously.
"Yes!" Jingwen said.
And everyone looked at each other, obviously a little surprised by Jingwen's judgment. If the enemy really has infighting, then this counterinsurgency will be much easier. As a war, the most feared thing is internal discord. If there is a disagreement internally, then no matter how powerful the force is, it will definitely not be the enemy's opponent. If there is internal strife within Luo Yi, then this counterinsurgency can be said to be five fingers to take the snail - nine out of ten is stable.
Fang Xuanling snorted: "You said it lightly, how can military affairs be so simple?" They are all Luo Yi's old subordinates, they were raised by Luo Yi, they are all loyal to Luo Yi, you say they will not rebel against Luo Yi? Therefore, you say that there is internal strife within Luo Yi, this is absolutely impossible! ”
"Fang Xiang, I have heard that you are good at planning, so I, a little chef, might as well make a bet with you. I paid 10,000 yuan, betting that there would be internal strife within Luo Yi, if Luo Yi did not have infighting before our army went to counterinsurgency, then it would be considered my loss. When the time comes, this 10,000 yuan will be yours," Jingwen said.
Everyone was a little speechless, Jingwen actually gambled with the dignified prime minister?
