Chapter 582: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Wang Yu followed her finger and looked over.
I saw that the team was followed by two prisoner carts, which were full of rotten vegetable leaves, and the people sitting in the prisoner carts had egg yolk liquid on their faces and emitted a fishy smell.
Not only that, but they also had to endure the abuse and ridicule of the people around them, all of which made them hang their heads and feel extremely humiliated.
"The one in front is King Zheng Wang Shichong, and the one in the back is King Xia Dou Jiande."
When Wang Yu said this, his words changed: "Of course, this is already history, and now, they are just prisoners." ”
Qi Shui praised proudly: "The king is powerful, and he wiped out two countries at once." ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson couldn't help but smile, and his eyes were full of pride.
The same is true for Guo Yunxi next to her, her eyes are chasing Qin Shubao's figure, and there is no room for a second person in her eyes.
Wang Yu glanced at them, smiled without saying a word, and then continued to watch.
On the gate tower of the palace city facing Suzaku Street, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and the civil and military officials looked at this huge team, and they always had a smile on their faces.
There is joy, pride, admiration, jealousy, worry, and disgust in their smiles......
Looking at Li Shimin, who was slowly walking and exuding a thousand rays of light, Li Yuan was proud at the same time, and at the same time, an invisible worry surged in his heart.
Li Yuan knew very well that Li Shimin's triumphal ceremony not only publicized the great military might of the Tang Dynasty, but also promoted Li Shimin's great achievements.
At this moment, Li Yuan could tell from everyone's expressions that their admiration for King Qin far exceeded that of the crown prince.
And this situation is what he fears the most......
When the music died down, the army stopped advancing, and saluted Li Yuan in unison, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented shock.
"Flat."
Next, Li Yuan praised them.
Then it is to hold a celebration banquet in the palace and the military camp, and finally discuss the meritorious deeds at the court meeting.
Everyone was rewarded, but Li Shimin didn't, because Li Yuan was still distressed and didn't know how to reward his son with outstanding achievements.
Not only because Li Shimin has become a prince, and there is no higher title to be awarded to him, but also because Li Shimin's credit is too great.
Li Shimin first pacified Xue Ju and occupied Longyou; Later, he defeated Liu Wuzhou and recovered the state and the northwest region; Now that he has defeated Dou Jiande, forced Wang Shichong to surrender, and captured Henan and Hebei in one fell swoop, such a great feat, what kind of title should he give Li Shimin?
He couldn't think of it, so he simply put it aside.
......
Three days later, Li Yuan issued an edict pardoning Wang Shichong's capital crime and exiled Wang Shichong, his wife and children, brothers and nephews to Shu.
But Dou Jiande was not pardoned, and Li Yuan ordered him to be beheaded in the downtown area.
After Wang Yu found out, he went to see Li Yuan.
It happened that the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were all in the Taiji Palace.
Wang Yu did not shy away from it, and said directly to Li Yuan: "Aya, Dou Jiande can't be killed. ”
"Hey, I said Xiao Yu'er, I haven't seen you for so long, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, and you actually ask about the affairs of the government."
Li Yuanji frowned slightly, and the gaze staring at Wang Yu was half condemnation, and half was surprise.
Wang Yu slammed over unceremoniously: "Aya has no opinion, do you have an opinion?" ”
“......”
Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan, and when he saw that he didn't reprimand, his arrogance suddenly fell.
"Dou Jiande must die." Li Yuan didn't ask Wang Yu why, but said his decision in a firm tone.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
The four of them were originally sitting around drinking tea, and one person occupied one side, Wang Yu glanced at it, and simply sat down next to Li Yuan.
Then he raised his head and said to Li Yuan: "I know that in the past few years, Dou Jiande has implemented benevolent government, and the Xia Dynasty he established has a clear political cultivation, social stability, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is not inferior to my dynasty."
And Dou Jiande has always been very benevolent and righteous, and has always been deeply loved by the people of Hebei.
"As long as he lives for a day, the remnants of the old department of the Xia Kingdom will have the heart to restore the country, which is a huge hidden danger for our dynasty.
"So Dou Jiande must die, I very much agree with this."
Sure enough, it was his daughter who was taught by himself, and she understood his heart too well, and Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little proud.
But Li Yuan didn't show it, but said with a calm face: "In that case, why do you say you can't kill?" ”
Wang Yu explained: "Dou Jiande must die, but he can't die at your hands......"
"Becoming a king and defeating a king, Dou Jiande is now a prisoner, why can't he die in the hands of Aya?" Li Yuanji interrupted Wang Yu's words.
Wang Yu looked at him: "In the past, when our army and the Xia army were fighting, the king of Huai'an, the princess of Tong'an, and Li Shixian's father were captured by the Xia army.
"Dou Jiande has always been courteous to them, and he also sent them back to our court. Even if Li Shichang planned an assassination operation and failed to escape back to our court, Dou Jiande still overrode public opinion and let Li Shichang's father go.
"Such benevolence and righteousness, the people naturally look at it, and now that he is defeated and captured, Aya has killed him, what does the world think?
"The world will compare Aya with Dou Jiande, they will think that Aya is small, narrow-minded, and not benevolent enough, and even think that Aya was afraid of Dou Jiande, so he killed him.
"Once the people's will is on Dou Jiande's side, the rest of his troops may use the people's will to raise troops again, which is also a big hidden danger to our dynasty."
"Nonsense! How could Lone be afraid of him? Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Even if there are another million Xia troops, the lonely Tang army can beat them to the ground." ”
"In that case, then you can pardon Dou Jiande's capital crime." Wang Yu followed his words.
Li Yuan: "......"
Li Shimin secretly glanced at Li Yuan, just catching the fleeting embarrassment on his face, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
The next moment, Li Shimin spoke out to relieve Li Yuan: "Xiao Yu'er, although we are not afraid of the Xia army, but we fight every year, and it is the people who suffer after all.
"If war can be avoided, why should there be hidden dangers?
"There are hidden dangers in dying or not dying, of course, it is better to die."
Li Jiancheng rarely agreed with Li Shimin's opinion: "Erlang is right, the hidden danger of the dead is smaller after all, and we can even eliminate this hidden danger."
"We have subdued so many traitors, I don't believe it, just the people of Hebei, we will not be able to subdue it."
"Yes." Li Yuanji echoed: "This world is ultimately the world of our Datang, and those foolish people can only submit to the Datang." ”
Looking at the three brothers who were extremely confident, Wang Yu was speechless in his heart, the soldiers and civilians in Hebei were not so easy to subdue.
She turned to Li Yuan, and seeing the expression on his face, she couldn't help but start to feel anxious, she wanted to avoid future wars, why was it so difficult?
Calm, calm......
Wang Yu took a deep breath and said calmly to Li Yuan: "Aya, I have a way to kill two birds with one stone, which can eliminate all hidden dangers, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Tell me about it." Li Yuan said.
"You can pardon Dou Jiande's capital crime and exile him as you did with Wang Shichong. In this way, the people of Hebei will be grateful to you and willingly attach themselves to you. ”
Wang Yu paused for a moment and continued: "Then, you can send someone to pretend to be a bandit and kill Dou Jiande on the way to exile.
"In this way, it not only solves the hidden dangers, but also wins the hearts of the people."
