Volume 5 Chapter 726 The Political Wisdom of Empress Changsun
People are like this, as long as they compromise once, they have to compromise an infinite number of times.
Changsun Chong, who understood this truth, decisively chose to send troops.
First, they took advantage of it, but this was not the biggest confidence for him to dare to send troops.
The real confidence is Li Chengqian, and it is their dual identity, which is the confidence that he dares to decisively send troops.
And this is also the most embarrassing place for Li Ke and others.
In any case, the current result is extremely unfavorable for them.
"Your Highness, no matter what, stabilizing Chang'an is the top priority now." Li Xiaogong saw Li Ke's hesitation, and sighed in his heart, and then said, "If Chang'an is really chaotic, even if Your Majesty will interrogate Daming, it will be too late at that time, right?" ”
He didn't want Chang'an to be in chaos, if it was like this, it wouldn't be good for him, there was no way, he could only remind him again.
On the side, Yang Shidao also nodded and said, "The king of the county is right, the most important thing now is to stabilize Chang'an." ”
He actually didn't have any opinion on stabilizing Chang'an, after all, their goal had been achieved.
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand is just to hit Li Chengqian's prestige, which is their fundamental purpose, and as for the rest, they are actually just doing it in passing.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is really no need to continue.
Moreover, as long as Chang'an stabilizes, there is no reason for the Ming army to continue like this.
In the final analysis, the Changming Army enforced the law in Chang'an, and the longer it lasted, the more it damaged the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
If this is not handled well, it will reach Li Er's ears, not to mention how Li Er will deal with it, Li Ke's ability will be questioned, which is not the effect they want to achieve.
"That's it." Li Ke also nodded, at this moment, he was actually a little confused, he didn't expect that these guys would be so crazy in Changsun Chong.
But at this point, he couldn't do anything better.
If you want to deal with Changsun Chong and others, you can only think in the long run.
In the Chang'an market, the Changming army appeared in various places, some outside the workshop, and some in front of the shop.
The only similarity is probably that they are all confronting a group of people.
Speaking of which, among these people, the most unlucky is Li Jingren.
I don't know if it's his bad luck to besiege the people of the shops he protects, the temper is irritable and abnormal, although there are also people who provoke it, but it is obvious that these people are more irritable, or more indignant.
It didn't take much effort for the two sides to turn into a physical altercation.
Should I say it or not, the people of the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty were really bloody, and they may have just experienced the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and these people were really bloody.
And Li Jingren himself has a good temper, he was still kind at first, but in the end he found that good words didn't make sense, and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't need to endure it anymore.
Of course, even at this point, he was extremely restrained.
Until the appearance of General Youwuhou and Liang Jianfang, things suddenly became out of anyone's control.
Liang Jianfang, although his name is not good, but speaking of which, it is also a proper famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, but it is still the same sentence, there are too many famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and the famous ministers of the early Tang Dynasty are also one of the races, so he is really not ranked as a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty......
Let's just say that, he is also a knighted county duke, and as a result, there are few words in the history books.
If he is placed in the Two Song Dynasty, then he can't write two or three pages in the history books?
It can only be said that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the competitive pressure of famous generals was also great!
As a general, being born in the early Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly also a sadness.
But this guy, although his name is not good, is also a fierce man.
As the general of the Right Wuhou, when he knew that the Changming Army was raising troops in Chang'an, he immediately took his subordinates out of the barracks.
In any case, as the defender of Chang'an, how can he sit back and watch foreign armies commit murder in Chang'an?
As soon as he came out with his soldiers and horses, he saw Li Jingren and his subordinates clashing with the people of Chang'an.
Da Ming knows how to protect his own people, how can he, the defender of Chang'an, not know?
He joined the battlefield right now and began to defend his own people.
And when those people saw their own army coming, some people even made a fool of themselves and killed them.
Although Li Jingren and them are restrained, the premise is that their own safety is not threatened, and seeing that the people of Datang have begun to copy the guys, they can't sit still, right?
And Liang Jianfang saw that his own people were being bullied, and he was also a good guy, so he killed him with the army.
In this way, Li Jingren and others are even more angry, to the common people, Lao Tzu can still restrain one or two, but in the face of you guys, how can Lao Tzu restrain himself?
It was precisely because of this that it didn't take long for the two sides to evolve from a conflict at the beginning to a real war.
"His grandmother's, this Liang Jianfang deceived me and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty, hurry, go and ask for help!" Not long after the battle, because it was just to deter Xiaoxiao, Li Jingren, who didn't bring many people, suddenly fell into the disadvantage, and immediately greeted him.
Soon, Li Decheng and others, who were not very far away from them, brought people to help.
As their support increased, Liang Jianfang was also a little struggling, and he also sent people back to bring more people.
However, in an hour's effort, what was originally a small-scale encounter developed into a battle of thousands of armies.
The point is, this is inside Chang'an City!
The most interesting thing is that even if the situation has become so serious, the eldest Sun Chong and Li Ke who received the news actually tacitly did not react.
That's the most interesting.
It stands to reason that things have developed to this point, and they are already very serious.
As an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army fought against the Tang army in Chang'an, and Li Er could even be considered that the Ming Dynasty raised troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and immediately had an excuse to send troops to the Ming Dynasty.
And Li Ke, who is a temporary supervisor of the country, is definitely a dereliction of duty when this kind of thing happens.
As a result, neither of them did to stop them.
That's not enough?
At this time, in the East Palace, Empress Changsun was exercising in her daily thunder.
But Li Tai slowly explained what happened in the Chang'an market on the side.
It wasn't until Li Jingren and Liang Jianfang exchanged hands in Chang'an City that Li Tai took a closer look at his queen mother and saw that she really didn't have much reaction, so he asked: "Queen mother, things are so big, cousin doesn't do anything, is it really appropriate?" ”
The cousin he was talking about was naturally Changsun Chong.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she didn't stop moving, and said very calmly: "This is the most appropriate way to deal with it." ”
"Huh?" Li Tai was a little puzzled.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she didn't answer and asked: "Do you still remember, why did your Uncle An Ye help Li Xiaochang plot against him?" ”
Hearing Empress Changsun ask this, Li Tai was also in a trance, are we talking about this question? However, he still replied at the moment: "It is reported that my uncle bullied his mother in his early years, and he was afraid that his mother would retaliate, so he helped Li Xiaochang rebel." ”
Hearing him say this, Empress Changsun smiled and said, "You, although you are well-read, you do lack a little political wisdom when you talk about it.
The relationship between Weiniang and your Uncle Anye has eased a lot as early as the Wude period, and I dare not say how good it is, but at least there is no hatred, including my brother who also has dealings with your Uncle Anye from time to time.
Even his prison general was sought for his mother's help, how could he worry about his mother's revenge? ”
This kind of secret is the first time he has heard it, and he is also curious at the moment: "There must be a traitor spreading this rumor, wanting to defile the wisdom of his mother." ”
"Where's the traitor?" Hearing him say this, Empress Eldest Sun heard him say this, put away her movements, and said with a smile, "These words were passed on by my mother." ”
Hearing the eldest grandson say this, Li Tai was stunned.
"Why is that?"
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Because, your Uncle Anye is your Aye's people, and they are helping you Aye to restore?"
At that time, it was the beginning of your father's ascension to the throne, the first year of Zhenguan, and you Aya didn't even move out of the palace.
Restoration is a matter for the people of the world, but if it's just your Uncle Anye's fear of revenge for his mother, it's just a family matter.
So, don't just look at the surface of anything.
Like nowadays, you see your cousin didn't actually do anything, but he actually did everything.
Because he can't take a step back, Li Jingren and those guys, the battle with Liang Jianfang at this time is not for himself, but for the face of Daming.
Of course, this is also a superficial thing, and the deeper layer is the temptation.
Similarly, Ke'er is actually testing at this time, if he wants to win the throne, he must have the support of the military.
But now, the army of the Tang Dynasty is firmly held in the hands of your father, how can he have a chance to get involved.
And this time, Liang Jianfang and Li Jingren's friendship was the opportunity he saw.
Don't look at Liang Jianfang is not a figure, but he is in the military after all, if he has a choice, many people in the military will have to rethink one or two.
But his plan was ultimately going to fail.
Because your father never thought of passing on the throne to him, for your father, it doesn't really matter who will inherit his throne in the end, as long as it can bring the greatest benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
This time, in the final analysis, is just a test for your brother.
Even if it is the current situation in Chang'an, if it is not good, your father is fueling it, don't forget, it is your father. ”
I have to say that the political wisdom of Empress Changsun is second to none among the queens of all dynasties, whether it is her words to deal with the rebellion of Changsun Anye and others, or her ear to Li Tai at this time, it shows that she does not lose anyone's political wisdom.
Li Tai actually understood at this time, the reason why his mother said so much was nothing more than to make him break off his unrealistic illusions about that position.
Empress Changsun made it very clear that Li Er didn't care who inherited his throne, what he valued was who could bring tangible benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Let's not say whether Li Er is qualified as a father or not, but as an emperor, Li Er's plan is qualified.
Therefore, standing in the position of an emperor, the first consideration is the interests of Datang itself, which is beyond reproach.
In other words, there's really nothing wrong with it.
"That's what my mother said." Nodding, Li Tai stopped talking, and from the bottom of his heart, he was still a little disappointed.
Because this is not the first time that his mother has beaten herself.
It's also a son, so I don't want to see you?
"It's okay, this big drama has nothing to do with our mother and son, just accompany the queen mother to sit quietly and watch the clouds roll up, isn't it beautiful?" The eldest grandson smiled and didn't say much.
She is working hard to live now, but she is afraid that her sons will follow in Li Er's footsteps.
But as things stand, everything is still under control.
And at this time, Chang'an.
Countless people are paying attention to the big battle between Li Jingren and Liang Jianfang.
Well, so far, in fact, it is not just a confrontation between the two of them, it can even be said to be a confrontation between Datang and Daming.
As for Li Ke, he was not idle, and when they were fighting, Li Ke visited many military bigwigs in the name of the war.
Don't look at Li Er who took away a lot of people, but there are too many military bigwigs......
Yes, too much.
The military bigwigs who stayed in Chang'an alone had at least a slap in the face.
The reason why Li Ernanzheng didn't take them was not that he didn't trust them, but that he had already taken a lot of people with him.
Second, these people were also deliberately left behind by him, if something unspeakable happens, there are also people in Chang'an who can stand up, not to mention turning the tide, at least to buy him time.
Do you think he's really going to give his lair to someone else?
How can it be!
Of course, Li Ke's visit is useless after all, who can be called a military boss, which one is not a human spirit?
Don't say that Li Er is still alive, even if Li Er dies at this moment, they have to think about whether Li Ke is the opponent of Da Ming.
On the other hand, Changsun Chong, he didn't leave the East Palace at all, and he didn't even look at the big battles on the market, but just ordered people to keep an eye on the various yamen and princes' mansions.
He also wants to see how these guys will deal with and choose at this time.
Until the evening, both sides of the battle had to withdraw due to lack of men and horses.
For this reason, it also left a mess and corpses in Chang'an Street.
The two sides really did not spare their hands, except for the fact that they did not use gunpowder bombs and incendiary bombs, which are easy to harm innocent people, they also did everything they could, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.
Even Li Jingren and these guys are more or less a little colorful.
The big war together, where is there any intact.
But the most unlucky thing this time is that those people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement have nothing to do with them, but they end up dying in fear, maybe they didn't understand before they died, how to die is themselves.
And at this time, the East Palace.
Li Jingren, who returned to the East Palace, lay on the sickbed, let the accompanying medical officer stitch up his wounds, while screaming in pain, he was still smoking the gap, and said stiffly: "That is, Lao Tzu doesn't want to hurt the innocent, if it weren't for this, Lao Tzu would have killed this group of bastards with a gunpowder bomb per person......
Ah, you light, this is human flesh, not a dead sheep for you to practice......" As he was saying, Li Jingren shouted again because of the pain.
