0947 Clean up from scratch
Early the next morning, Li Tai led his troops to Shayuan Wanshou Palace, accompanied by Huangfu Mu, Liu Hui and other members of the original Dugu Xin and Yu Wenyu, as well as Liu Qing and others who had been in contact with Dugu Xin when he returned to Guanzhong.
In the Wanshou Palace, the traces left by the previous forbidden army in and out of here still exist, especially the ashes of the building where Dugu Xin is based are even more shocking.
A white-faced middle-aged eunuch is leading a group of palace slaves to stand here, and he is busy approaching the front, and Daozuo greets him: "Zhao Yongguo, the envoy of the lowly Wanshou Palace, and all the palace slaves, see the king!"
After Li Tai heard this, his thoughts couldn't help but be a little trance-like, and he couldn't help but think of some personnel bits and pieces when he first entered the customs in his mind. He still remembered that Zhao Yongguo once led a house slave to ambush him in the township, but soon there was no intersection between them, but he didn't expect to meet again today.
This Zhao Yongguo did not return to the arrogance of previous years, leaned over and bowed deep on the palace road, his face was almost buried in the dust, and he did not dare to look up at the king of Taiyuan at all.
When Li Tai saw this, he was not in the mood to make things difficult for him, so he just waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, this ruined building is the place where Da Sima was killed?"
"Lord Qiqi, this is where the thieves are committing their crimes. Guilty of lowly office, lowly office...... My father sent a message before, ordering the lowly to answer the big Sima and his party here, and on the same day, the lowly also mobilized palace slaves to stand by, but unexpectedly, the family actually gave birth to evil seeds, and the Duke of Gong and others conspired to deceive ......
Although Li Tai had already exempted him, Zhao Yongguo still bowed to the ground, first quickly told the story of the incident, and then peeked at Li Tai gradually became impatient, so he hurriedly said: "At that time, Da Sima was in the guard building by all loyal servants, and my father pretended to surrender because he was afraid that Duke Luo Yang would be persecuted, and advised Duke Luo Yang and others to leave here temporarily. Only those who are humble have the opportunity to enter the ruined building to make a thin burial for the great Sima......
"The bones of Da Sima still exist?"
Li Tai was quite surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Quickly lead me to see me!"
Zhao Yongguo saw Li Tai so excited, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of secret joy, so he hurriedly led Li Tai and his party to the palace, and a coffin was set up in front of a palace room, which contained Dugu Xin's body.
At present, it is the middle of winter, the weather is very cold, the body of Duguxin in the coffin is still well preserved, Li Tai lowered his head to look, and saw that his face was still recognizable, and his beard had traces of fire, and there were still burning scars on the back of his shoulders, which should have been covered by the subordinates with their bodies, but after all, they were inevitably suffocated and died.
Huangfu Mu and the others all cried around the coffin, and Zhao Yongguo whispered about how he kept Duguxin's corpse under the advantage of his position and used other burned corpses to deal with the urging of the Chinese and foreign governments.
The murder of Duguxin is indeed heart-wrenching, but the corpse can still be preserved, which is somewhat of a comfort for the living. Hearing this Zhao Yongguo's praise, Li Tai looked at him and nodded, "Zhao Yongguo, you are very good. Da Sima is honored and decent, and it depends on you to get it all. There is no need to mention the old things of the former, and there will be a great reward for this matter!"
After Zhao Yongguo heard this, he kowtowed again and again to thank him. In fact, this matter was not told by his father, since he was sent down to the silkworm room, his father has been very indifferent to him, and even did not allow him to use the surname "Yifu", he also took a lot of risks to operate this matter before, and now it seems that he has won the bet.
Next, Li Tai immediately prepared the secret weapon of the East Garden and sent it here, and the body of Dugu Xin was buried and transported back to Tongzhou City.
After Duguxin was killed before, the Chinese and foreign governments sent people to Chang'an to arrest his children's families, and Li Mu sent people to report that he was able to flee Gyeonggi under the escort of his subordinates, cross the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong, and wait for a while to return to Tongzhou. Before that, some related matters could only be handled by Li Tai, the son-in-law.
Regarding Dugu Xin's death, Li Tai's mood is also very complicated, in addition to sadness and anger, there is also a sense of helplessness. He had sent people to tell Dugu Xin more than once that it was better to be still in the face of a great change in the situation, and it was better to wait for him to deal with the problem more forcefully externally than to take the risk of camping without dominating the internal situation.
But Dugu Xin's background and experience determine that even if he has some admiration and trust in Li Tai, he will never obey a junior. Because their generation of town soldiers is in constant turmoil to get upward opportunities, which is like a no
It is difficult for a gambler to convince a gambler to give up a situation that seems to be a sure win.
Therefore, Dugu Xin has such an end, and a considerable part of it stems from his own character and experience. And it is not uncommon for some experienced masters to be planted in the hands of some young people who do not speak of martial virtues, Li Tai has won a few times, but Yu Wenjue is more imaginative and illogical than his prophetic sense.
When Li Tai escorted Duguxin's body back to his former residence in Tongzhou City, Zhao Gui immediately rushed to hear the news and took the initiative to ask Li Tai to be responsible for organizing Duguxin's funeral.
In the six-official system reformed and implemented this year, Zhao Gui served as the chief uncle, which was himself the ceremonial department in charge of the country, and the funeral of the minister was also within his authority. Therefore, Zhao Gui's request is not purely courteous, but itself belongs to the exercise of his authority.
However, the six-official system is originally a far-fetched product, and from the beginning of its creation, it was not to make the system reform more reasonable, but to show the authority of the hegemony in the name of reverence for ancient rites, so there is no lack of negligence and omissions in its own structure.
For example, one of the reasons why Yuwenjue was able to toss such a pass in the Chinese and foreign mansions this time was that Yuwentai hastily implemented the reform of the six-official system before.
The Chinese and foreign governments and the imperial courts, which were originally under his control, were able to cover up the past in accordance with the inertia of past political traditions, even if there were some personnel inconsistencies caused by reforms. However, Yu Wenjue's methods were rude, and Li Zhi and others had ulterior motives, which caused the entire Chinese and foreign mansions to become their one-man show, and the other personnel structures were completely insufficient to form any restrictions and corrections to them.
So Li Tai didn't even accept Otsuka's appointment before, not because of modesty, he didn't do it and wouldn't let others do it, and when he had a clue about the current chaos, he would tell the imperial court to abolish the six-official system. At the moment, of course, he will not follow the provisions of the six-official system to arrange any personnel tasks, especially Zhao Gui, the great uncle himself, is a false position, he knows the etiquette of a fart!
Therefore, Li Tai directly rejected Zhao Gui's request, asked him to stay where it was cool first, and instead asked the emperor to temporarily serve as Taichangqing with Lu Wei, responsible for managing the funerals of several ministers in the country at present.
Not only Yuwentai and Dugu Xin, but also generals such as Wang Xiong, who died in Heluo, the imperial court also needs to send ceremonial officials to assist their families in holding funerals, including the posthumous gift of mourning and other matters that also need to be discussed.
Although there were no more chaotic battles after Li Tai's return, the previous Zhongwai Mansion was in an abnormal chaos and completely shut down, and it was not easy to clean up these personnel chaos again.
Of course, Li Tai will not continue to retain the original personnel structure of the Chinese and foreign governments, but before forming his own hegemonic team, the first thing to solve is the issue of armament.
Previously, the Chinese and foreign governments reorganized the men and horses that were still controllable, and some of the government soldiers who participated in the river defense and the Chang'an Forbidden Army were reorganized.
However, this so-called reorganization only broke up the original organizational structure, and the new organization did not take into account the various needs of conquest and other needs, and there were even two or more overseers in one camp and one team. This kind of reorganization is fortunate to stay in the same state and did not move the nest, and if you really want to go out to fight, it is estimated that the organization will be scattered within a few days after leaving the camp.
However, Li Tai does not intend to restore such a reorganization to its original state, but to make more detailed and effective changes on the basis of the existing reorganization.
Because he did not intend to continue to retain the establishment of the Liufang Forbidden Army, the internal personnel relations of the Forbidden Army were complicated, and he also had some lessons, and he had also arranged for Li Xiaoyong and others to enter the Forbidden Army system before, so as to facilitate the development of other businesses around Gyeonggi.
The forbidden army system has become a garbage can, and the combat effectiveness of the Liufang forbidden army is also very worrying. Relying on these people to guard the palace and control the imperial court, he might as well directly give the duties of guarding the soldiers and soldiers who have completed the granting of land in Xiangyang, and directly establish a system of guarding the palace soldiers.
In addition to this mixed and chaotic team, there is also a team of people under the command of Hou Mo Chen Chong in the Weinan area. Originally, Hou Mo Chen Chong was only stationed in Weinan, but he didn't know what kind of bewitchment he received from the Chinese and foreign governments, so he directly pushed his men and horses to Shangluo, and confronted the Xiangyang people and horses who entered Wuguan in the upper reaches of Danshui.
It is precisely because of Hou Mo Chen Chong's blockade that the people arranged by Li Tai before failed to effectively deter the behavior of the Chinese and foreign governments, so Hou Mo Chen Chong also needs to bear a certain amount of responsibility for the personnel chaos of the Chinese and foreign governments.
Therefore, after a preliminary understanding of the relevant situation, Li Taidang ordered the former Chinese and foreign government Sima Da Xi Wei to inform Hou Mo Chen Chong, and told him to abandon the army and return to the dynasty before the New Year and wait for sanctions, otherwise he would be punished as a rebel.
In addition, the personnel chaos in the Chinese and foreign governments in the past period, coupled with the transfer of power in the hegemonic government, will inevitably bring a certain impact and impact on local forces such as prefectures and counties.
Therefore, after the internal situation stabilized a little, Li Tai, in the name of the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, ordered the governors of the prefectures and counties to report to the court.
Suddenly jumping from a prince to a ruling boss, and taking over a mess of personnel chaos, is also a big challenge for Li Tai.
But for all those with ambition and ambition, these personnel challenges did not make him cower, but full of fighting spirit.
The military power here in Tongzhou was sorted out, and the soldiers of the battalions were either disbanded and returned to their hometowns, or transferred to other places, and then Li Tai led the civil and military officials to return to Chang'an from the emperor, and after the New Year, the internal and external situation became more stable, and then began to rectify the chaos in depth.
