In the Liangyi Hall, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Li Yuan was still staring at Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng was also staring at Li Shimin, but for different reasons.
Li Yuan is waiting for Li Shimin's answer, how to deal with it... This is not Li Shimin's decision alone. The actual meaning of Li Yuan's question is, if Li Xiaogong rebels, will Jianghuai and Jiangnan be lost? Bayi Chinese website
You must know that quite a few of Li Xiaogong's generals are Li Shimin's old troops, and if Li Xiaogong rebels, he is most likely to send troops, and the closest one is Li Shimin's base camp, Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng was very suspicious that Li Shimin had instigated the secret report on Li Xiaogong's rebellion.
You must know that the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office is located in Yangzhou, but Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor Li Xiaogong governs Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Shannan, Jingzhou and Lingnan states. In other words, south of the Yangtze River, excluding the Yizhou Road in the middle of Shu, they are all Yangzhou Metropolitan Governors The jurisdiction of the government.
If this incident was really instigated by Li Shimin, and if something happened next that led to the King of Qin's lineage being able to control the governor's palace, Li Jiancheng felt... that he, the prince, was no longer dispensable, and that even his father's throne was a bit illusory. .
You must know that the Minister of Yizhou Road is also Li Shimin. All areas south of the Yangtze River, plus Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province in the Central Plains. There is no Xingtai in Hebei, but Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Luozhou who governs several states, is also from the lineage of the King of Qin... Li Shimin Going directly to Luoyang to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor is enough.
When he was suddenly asked this question, Li Shimin did not panic, nor did he answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking, "Father, first of all, please call Yongkang County Duke Li Jing to return immediately and take charge of the governor's palace of Yangzhou with his long history."
"In the past few years, Uncle Wang of Zhao County has conquered Nanliang and leveled Lingnan. This time he has put down the Jianghuai rebellion. It can be said that he has made great achievements through hard work." Li Shimin emphasized his tone at the end, "The Duke of Yongkang County has always been the deputy of Uncle Zhao County."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. In fact, before Li Shimin arrived, he had already ordered Li Jing to return.
In fact, everyone here knows that although Li Xiaogong served as the ambassador of Shannan Road in the early years of Wude and led troops to patrol the Bashu region and conquered more than 30 states, he had very few military achievements. His main achievements were breaking Liang, pacifying Lingnan and pacifying peace. Jianghuai.
But it happened that the Duke of Yongkang County was the real commander of these three things... In other words, Li Jing's prestige in the army north of the Yangtze River was not inferior to that of Li Xiaogong, and his ability was even greater.
Li Jing, who had previously led his troops to the north to be appointed as the general manager of Daizhou, obviously had no objection. Letting him return to the south of Zhenjiang would prevent chaos.
"Secondly, Uncle Prince Zhao..." Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Jiancheng, "Is there any evidence of rebellion?"
Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.
"Father, eldest brother." Li Shimin said softly: "It may be a false accusation. Uncle Wang of Zhao County should not be plotting rebellion. He should be called back to Beijing for detailed questioning."
Li Yuan was silent. If Li Xiaogong really wanted to rebel, calling him back to the court would probably lead to him taking action immediately. This was also the reason for his hesitation.
"The Duke of Yongkang County has already led his troops back." Li Shimin reminded: "If we don't call Uncle Zhaojun back to the capital immediately, I'm afraid there will be another trouble."
Li Yuan suddenly realized that Li Jing had returned with 5,000 Jianghuai troops. If Li Xiaogong really had any objections, he would be alert immediately. Even if he had no objections or was in a dilemma, he would be affected by it... What happens next? It’s hard to say.
The most important thing is that if Li Xiaogong does not want to rebel, a decree can call him back to the capital. If he is determined to rebel, it does not matter whether the decree to call him back to the capital is issued or not.
"Issuing an edict to summon Li Xiaogong to return to the capital immediately." Li Yuan glanced at Yang Gongren and Feng Lun, pondered for a moment and then said: "Erlang, order Shaanxi Province Daxingtai to gather troops."
"yes."
Several prime ministers and ministers quietly looked at the embarrassed Crown Prince Li Jiancheng from the corner of their eyes. As far as this matter was concerned, the East Palace was completely defeated.
The prime ministers and ministers don't know the cause of this incident, but judging from the handling methods suggested by Li Shimin just now, it should not be his secret instigation, because Li Jing, the Duke of Yongkang County, is not considered to be of the Qin king's lineage.
Pei Ji also knew why Li Jiancheng was so frustrated and angry. For more than half a year, the East Palace has been trying to win over Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong. He can't say whether he has succeeded or not, but the progress is pretty good.
In the eyes of many people, although Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao County is not qualified to be compared with King Qin Li Shimin, he is only second to Li Shimin among the descendants of the clan.
Regardless of whether Li Xiaogong really wanted to rebel this time and was suspected of this, as long as there was no accident, Li Xiaogong would no longer be able to lead troops into battle, at least he would not be able to act alone and have authority.
After a moment of silence in Liangyi Hall, Li Yuanji suddenly asked: "Father, that Daizhou..."
The Duke of Yongkang County has almost crossed the Yellow River, and now he is going back to Jiangnan, but Daizhou is still waiting for him to take over.
What's more, Li Jing has resigned from the post of Governor Shi of Yangzhou.
If Li Jing doesn't go north, then Li Shan... Thinking of this, Li Shimin cast a helpless look at Li Jiancheng... This matter really has nothing to do with me!
For Li Shan's level, if the Turks attack, he will have to scramble in case anything goes wrong... Apart from other things, if Li Shan, Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Gongjin are lost in Daizhou, Li Shimin will shed tears of distress.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan ordered with a cold face, "Summon the Duke into the palace."
Ying Guogong is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Warrior Xun. This man was the first old man to follow Li Yuan. He contributed a lot. He ranked thirteenth on the list of Taiyuan Yuanmou heroes. The most important thing is that he was one of the few old men who had no choice. The ministers who stood up were only loyal to Li Yuan.
The hall was silent for a while. This was a major change in the feudal officials after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Neither Li Jing nor the warrior Xun were descendants of the clan, and Li Yuan obviously intended to choose one of them to take charge of the Yangzhou Dudu Mansion.
You must know that before this, the people who could hold the power were all the children of the clan. Except for Li Shimin, Li Daoxuan, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan were all the children of the clan.
The world has been unified, and Li Yuan intends to take over power... Pei Shiju, who has been in officialdom for decades, accidentally glanced at Li Shimin. If your Majesty wants to take over power, he will always encounter Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province and Daxingtai of Yizhou Province.
It was already dusk at this time, but before night fell, the news about Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong's rebellion had already spread. Everyone who should know and was qualified to know already knew.
In Sun Moon Lake and Chang'an City, Ling Jing and Cui Xin expressed the same emotion. Although the blame was not on Li Shan this time, it ended up falling on Li Shan.
It's already early May. Can Mr. Yongkang County go north again so quickly to take up the post of acting governor?
According to usual practice, the Turks will soon invade Hedong. Can Li Shan, who is about to leave for Beijing, withstand it?
Different from the previous Yugu Sheshe and Yu Sheshe, this time Jieli Khan will definitely attack with a large army. Even if the whole country will not invade, there will definitely be overwhelming cavalry behind him.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
