Chapter 15: The News Arrives
"Oh, why did Xuan Ling teach me?!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
"The lower officials don't dare!" Fang Xuanling first arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and then glanced at everyone before he said, "Although His Royal Highness has killed the rebellious Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, although the two of them are dead, these two people have always had many henchmen in the court, and there are many loyal people, such as Xue Wanche, who fled into Nanshan after the defeat of the siege of the Qin Palace, as well as Xie Shufang, Feng Li, Wei Zheng and others. If these people are not appeased, I am afraid that there will be a resurgence of rebellion. ”
"Hahaha, I thought Fang Qiao was afraid of something?" As soon as Fang Xuanling's words were finished, Cheng Yanjin suddenly burst out laughing, "These are just some remnants of the defeated army, so why be afraid?" ”
"Some remnants of the defeated army are indeed not enough to fear!" At this time, Du Ruhui, who was sitting on the side, also spoke, he first stood up and arched his hand towards Li Shimin, who was sitting on the main seat, and then said, "But if these people are connected, it will definitely be a big force, and it will inevitably cause us a lot of trouble." ”
"Your Highness, although we have now occupied Chang'an and seized the military power, don't forget the saints in the palace, as well as countless generals and vassal kings outside Chang'an, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen eyeing the Wucheng side, if you are not careful, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe of overturning." Du Ruhui had a calm face and said to Li Shimin with a solemn face.
Hearing the words of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin was suddenly shocked, the fiery feeling that had just been successful because of the palace change was suddenly like being poured a basin of ice water from the top of his head, which made Li Shimin wake up from the previous state of excitement and a little hot head, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he stood up directly from the seat, bowed to the two, and then said solemnly, "Please teach me two gentlemen!" ”
"Don't dare!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui bowed to Li Shimin and returned the salute, and then Fang Xuanling spoke, "The so-called outside must first be inside, now His Royal Highness has controlled most of the military power in Chang'an, and the Holy Lord is also recuperating in the palace, but this is not enough." ”
"The most important thing for Your Highness to do now is not to ascend the throne immediately, but to obtain the name of righteousness first. Although His Royal Highness has put down the rebellion between the crown prince and the king of Qi, who in the world knows? ”
"The lower official thinks that His Royal Highness should enter the palace first and let His Royal Highness canonize you as the crown prince, and then clean up and recruit the remnants of the Andong Palace and the King of Qi as the crown prince, and appease the courtiers, so that the overall situation can be stabilized, and even if His Royal Highness wants to ascend the throne at that time, it will be clear and righteous."
Hearing Du Ruhui's eloquent talk, whether it was Li Shimin, or Cheng Biting Jin, Li Ji, Eldest Sun Wuji and others in the palace, they couldn't help but be enlightened for a while, and everyone who originally wanted Li Shimin to ascend the throne as soon as possible listened to Du Ruhui's analysis, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, that is, even Cheng Biting Jin, who danced the most happily, pursed his lips and stopped making a sound.
"If it weren't for the reminder of the two gentlemen, this king almost made a big mistake just now. Haha, it is really a great blessing for this king to have the help of two gentlemen! Li Shimin laughed, bowed to the two of them again, and made enough appearance of Lixian in the next life, and it was also seen that this person would kill his brother and imprison his father because he was jealous of his eldest brother's high position, and do such a rebellious thing.
However, for Li Shimin's pretentiousness, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are very affected, they don't care how vicious Li Shimin's heart is, how cunning he is, as long as he can be courteous and virtuous, he can bring them a supreme minister, glory and wealth, and leave his name in history.
"Report, Your Highness, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Hou Junji, asks to see you!" Seeing that Li Shimin and the others in the hall were still thinking about discussing the next move, suddenly a soldier from outside the hall came in to report.
"Hou Junji, what is he doing at this time, didn't this king let him guard the gate of Taiji Palace?" Hearing the soldier's report, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, but still spoke, "Let him in!" ”
After a while, I saw a tall figure outside the hall hurriedly walking in, and before Li Shimin could ask why Hou Junji left his post without permission, he saw Hou Junji arrive in the hall, and directly knelt down, and said with a gloomy face, "The last general will see His Highness!" ”
Seeing Hou Junji's appearance, Li Shimin felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Not only because Hou Junji came in and bowed directly to him, under normal circumstances, Datang does not like this kind of etiquette, and it is close at hand, Li Shimin can see that Hou Junji's face is a little pale at this time, his face is extremely gloomy, and he is not at all as high-spirited as they were after the successful palace change just now, frowned, and then said, "No need to be polite, Hou Junji, you come to find this king now, but what happened?" ”
However, he saw that Hou Junji did not get up from the ground, but still knelt on the ground, which made Li Shimin feel that the situation was unusual, and then saw Hou Junji and said, "Back to Your Highness, there is one thing to return to Your Highness in the end." Previously, His Royal Highness sent the dog to arrest the rebels of Li Jiancheng's concubine Zheng Guanyin and his son Runan County King outside the city, but someone has just escaped back, saying that the dog has fallen into those defection tricks and has been wiped out, and asked His Royal Highness to allow the last general to personally lead the troops to clean up and avenge the dog! ”
"What ?!!!" Hearing Hou Junji's words, Li Shimin's eyes widened in shock, and he stood up suddenly, "You said that Zheng Guanyin and the king of Runan County fled?" The men sent to capture them were wiped out? ”
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji in disbelief, you must know that Li Shimin is still very concerned about Li Jiancheng's crown princess Zheng Guanyin and the only heir who is not in the bottom mansion.
After killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and besieging the Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace, Li Shimin immediately asked people to count the people in the Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace.
Later, after completely pacifying Chang'an, Li Shimin remembered this again, and found that the dozens of elite soldiers he sent out had not yet replied, in order to prevent the crown princess and the king of Runan County from escaping, he sent Hou Junji's son Hou Guangliang and asked him to bring two hundred elite soldiers to reinforcements, and not to bring Zheng Guanyin and Li Chengming back.
Originally, I thought that Zheng Guanyin was just going to Nanshan to incense, and the Donggong guards he brought with him were only dozens of people, and he sent so many people over, so he must have been captured.
However, what I didn't expect was that what I was waiting for would be such news.
