Chapter 54: Breaking in and arresting people
Jinyang.
When they heard the news of Zhang Xutuo's death, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears. The two faced the direction of Xingyang, knelt on the ground, and knocked their heads three times.
General, go all the way.
Seeing their behavior, Li Yuan couldn't help but be moved, and felt sorry for Zhang Xutuo in his heart.
But what made Li Yuan pay more attention was another news, since Dou Jiande returned to the imperial court, the mutant army south of Zhao Wei and north of Jianghuai has returned to the imperial court, such as Meng Rang of Qi County, Hao Xiaode and Wang Deren of Pingyuan County, Fang Xianbo of Jiyin County, etc.
I heard that the imperial court was sending people to negotiate with Li Mi, hoping that the Wagang army would accept Zhao'an.
The situation seemed to be developing in the direction that Yang Guang expected, and Li Yuan's steps were getting more and more difficult.
On this day, just as Li Yuan, Pei Lin and others were discussing the military, Su Wei and Zhao Cai came with the Xiaoguo army.
"Li Mi gathered the Wagang bandits, plotted rebellion and rebellion, his crime should be punished, Liu Wenjing is his in-law, he should be punished together, come on, arrest Liu Wenjing."
Li Yuan's first reaction subconsciously was that Li Mi did not accept Zhao'an, and there was a trace of joy in his heart.
Li Shimin stepped forward to block the Xiaoguo army and shouted: "Bold, I see who dares to be presumptuous." ”
The young man was handsome, with a pair of deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold anger between his eyebrows. The posture is raised, like an ancient sword out of the sheath, lying between the towering mountains and rivers, and the heaven and earth are discolored.
Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and others walked to Li Shimin's side, staring at the Xiaoguo Army in front of them, their eyes were sharp, and they looked like they were on guard to meet the enemy.
There are many heroes and heroes in the Tang Mansion, and they know about it in the streets, and this battle suddenly shocked the Xiaoguo army and stopped moving.
The atmosphere in the council chamber suddenly became gloomy, sparks scattered, and dark tides surged.
Li Yuan came back to his senses and glared: "Fang Guogong, General Zhao, dare to ask if you brought so many soldiers here, do you want to copy my Tang Guogong Mansion?" ”
It is not an exaggeration to lead troops to break into the official residence for no reason, and it is also the Guogong Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to seriously investigate it as a rebellion.
Fang Guogong's expression froze, and his tone weakened involuntarily: "Don't misunderstand Tang Guogong, we are just ordered to arrest the traitor." ”
Pei Lin said: "Although Li Mi rebelled against the imperial court, Liu Wenjing was loyal, rescued Xingyang, and fought against the Turks, he made a lot of contributions, and he should be offset by the merits and not implicated." ”
Su Wei put on the posture of an important minister of the court, not giving an inch: "Your Majesty has already issued an order that all those who have been close to the traitor Li Mi must be arrested and put in prison.
"Liu Wenjing and Li Mi have an in-law relationship, Tang Guogong knows this matter well, but you discuss government affairs with him every day, treat him as a guest, and do not arrest him.
"Could it be that the Duke of Tang Guo does not take His Majesty's will to heart, despises the imperial power, and wants to establish himself as the king?"
Li Yuan had no way to refute such a serious accusation, nor could he refute it, so in order to prove his innocence, he issued an order: "Come on, arrest Liu Wenjing and put him in prison." ”
Solved one, Su Wei stayed on the eldest grandson Shunde again.
"Tang Guogong, the eldest grandson Shunde evaded military service and should have been arrested, but because he was your in-law, you shielded him and took him in, what kind of crime should you be guilty of?"
The eldest grandson Shunde is the uncle of the eldest grandson clan, and he came to Taiyuan not long ago to take refuge in Li Yuan.
The muscles on Li Yuan's face twitched, this sour man, his hand was inevitably stretched too long.
He coughed lightly: "Although it was his fault that the eldest grandson Shunde evaded the military service in Liaodong, he repented, joined the army in Taiyuan, fought against the Turks, and made a lot of contributions, which was enough to offset his previous mistakes."
"I believe that with my identity as the Duke of Tang Guo, I will intercede with Your Majesty for him, and Your Majesty will definitely forgive him for his crimes."
Li Yuan deliberately accentuated the words "Tang Guogong", intending to remind Su Wei that his identity was not just as simple as staying in Taiyuan, he was also Yang Guang's cousin, a relative of the emperor, and he couldn't do things too much.
Su Wei weighed it in his heart and decided to let go of the eldest grandson Shunde, "Okay, let's not mention this matter, let's talk about conscription." ”
Li Shimin's body sank and came.
"The conscription order clearly says 10,000 soldiers, but you have nearly 20,000 conscriptions, is this an attempt to rebel?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing, and the cold wind whistled from everyone's hearts.
Zhao Cai's right hand quietly put on the weapon on his waist and stared at Li Yuan vigilantly.
Li Shimin wanted to argue, but was stopped by Li Yuan with his eyes.
Li Yuan looked at Su Wei without evasion, and said with a calm face: "The two deputy guards have just come to Taiyuan, and they don't know the situation in Taiyuan.
"The Turks often invaded the borders, and at their most frequent time they came five times a month, and each time they fought against the Turks, they consumed a great deal of military supplies, horses, and soldiers.
"I asked Erlang to recruit troops, but also to prepare for dealing with the Turks, only 20,000 horses, the Turks will not be in their eyes, only by recruiting more people and horses, can they deter the Turks, so that they will not dare to attack.
"Only by reserving troops in advance can we quickly replenish after a large amount of consumption, so that we will not be attacked by the Turks and we will be short of troops." ”
Su Wei seized one of the points and took the opportunity to retort: "There is not only one way to deter, but this is not the only way..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Shi Tong broke in: "Tang Guogong, there is a battle report from Mayi, and the Turks are calling again." ”
Li Yuan secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said to Su Wei when he saw the opportunity: "The matter of conscription will be discussed later, it is a top priority, Fang Guogong should quickly transfer troops with me to fight against the Turks." ”
Although Li Yuan was a feudal official, he was able to mobilize less than 1,000 troops on a daily basis, and if a local official sent more than 1,000 troops without authorization, he would be sentenced to death.
Su Wei and Zhao Cai were the overseers sent by the emperor, and Li Yuan had to have their support if he wanted to mobilize enough troops.
The Turkic invasion of the border was not trivial, Su Wei gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, put aside the matter of conscription for the time being, and went with Li Yuan to transfer troops.
Li Shimin walked into the main hall, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out: "Su Wei, that old horseman, didn't he just let him take out six hundred taels of gold, but he didn't give up, and he had to put Liu Wenjing in prison."
"Damn, it's so hateful."
Li Shimin scolded twice, still unrelieved, and grabbed another teacup.
"Hey, don't fall." Wang Yu ran over quickly and pressed Li Shimin's wrist in time.
Wang Yu took the teacup from his hand, looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, and his face was full of pain: "Do you know what you fell?" ”
Li Shimin was stunned: "...... Isn't it just a cup? ”
"Wrong."
Wang Yu picked up the teacup of the same system on the table, rubbed the cup noodles, and said slowly: "This set of teacups is a tribute from the former dynasty, and it is the favorite teacup of the eldest grandson's sister.
"There are four teacups in total, and one teacup can be exchanged for 200 stone rice, which is enough for a small family to eat for half a year.
"Did you drop a cup?
"No, what you threw was money, two hundred stone rice, and the people's rations.
"You... You're really..."
Wang Yu's fingers pointing at Li Shimin trembled slightly, his eyes were full of disappointment, his tone was full of accusations, and he looked even more angry than Li Shimin.
In the end, he trembled and spit out a sentence: "You are really a tyrannical thing, and you don't know the suffering of the people." ”
Li Shimin: "......"
Li Erlang, who had thrown things all his life before, suddenly felt a panic on his face, and those broken porcelain pieces rolled in his heart, cutting him into countless pieces, and blood was dripping.
The eldest grandson looked at Li Shimin's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, his face did not show anything, and said gently: "I heard that the Turks have invaded Mayi again, don't Erlang have to go?" ”
Li Shimin patted his head: "Oh, yes, I remember, I'm here to get something." ”
After Li Shimin left, Wang Yu said to the eldest grandson bitterly: "Sister eldest grandson, Erlang is too loser, and you can't catch up with his wanton squandering."
"We have to find a way to cure his bad disease..."
