From the eighth to the ninth day of October, a lot of things happened, but Cui Xin, who stayed in Dongshan Temple, knew nothing about it. He didn't even know where his son-in-law was going with Yuchi Gong and Su Dingfang to lead their troops.
This panic lasted until dawn. Su Xu, who was staying in Xianyang County, led 3,000 elite troops to arrive at Tonghua Gate on the east side of Chang'an. At that time, Li Shan was still sleeping soundly. Fan Shiyi sent Zhu Ba back to Zhuangzi to inform him.
Cui Shiniang was finally able to sleep peacefully, and Mrs. Zhu was finally relieved... Because although Zhu Ba didn't know about it, Fan Shiyi specifically told him to bring a word, and everything was preserved. This was specifically referring to Er Zhu Huan. .
Cui Xin was about to leave for the city, but was blocked by the Zhang family... Even the Zhu family could not say anything. After all, there was a rebellion in the East Palace last night. It seemed that the rebellion had been put down, but would the remaining party members flee outside the city? What if something happened? thing, that would be bad.
Fortunately, Fan Shiyi rushed back to Zhuangzi in person soon, and brought dozens of personal guards to escort Cui Xin into the city... Zhongshu Sheren from Zhongshu Province ordered six people, three of whom were more or less related to the East Palace There was some connection, one of the other two was seriously ill in bed, and the other had nothing to do with the King of Qin. However, Cui Xin, the Duke of Qinghe County, was now regarded as a descendant of the King of Qin because of his son-in-law.
Cui Xin hurriedly entered the palace, and he couldn't help but pause as soon as he approached the Zhuque Gate. Although Chai Shao had asked the imperial army to clean up the imperial city, the lingering strong smell of blood still existed in every corner of Chengtianmen Street.
Cui Xinxin was stunned, but then he saw Qu Shilang coming towards him.
"Mr. Cui." Qu Silang bowed and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Gong Cui. The rebellion has been put down. The prince is dead and the King of Qin has entered the palace."
"The King of Qin has really returned to the capital!" Cui Xin's lips trembled and he asked as he walked: "Where is Huairen?"
Qu Silang huffed, "I have been ordered to guard the Suzaku Gate. Alang is still in the palace..."
At this time, Princess Pingyang, who happened to be inspecting the imperial city, came from the side. After hearing this, she laughed and said, "Huairen is sleeping soundly in Shujing Hall."
Everyone in the Imperial City and the Palace City knew that Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, was responsible for suppressing the rebellion last night, and they were all asking Li Huairen... Then, the mean-mouthed Ma Sanbao said that Li Shan was sleeping soundly with a strange voice.
Zheng Shanguo, who happened to be passing by, said with a smile: "After such drastic changes, King Wei Si can still sleep soundly, which shows that he is very human."
"Xingyang County Duke." Princess Pingyang nodded. After all, she is the elder. In terms of status, Zheng Shanguo's direct uncle Cui Yanzhen is Dugu Xin's father-in-law, and Dugu Xin's two daughters are the founding empress of the Sui Dynasty and the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan's mother.
Therefore, Zheng Shanguo and Dugu Xin are the same generation. He is one generation higher than Yang Jian, two generations higher than Li Yuan, and three generations higher than Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang.
Watching Zheng Shanguo leave in a hurry, Princess Pingyang, who had just come out of the palace, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty and my second brother don't want to be imprisoned, so let's take Zheng Shanguo and serve as the Minister of Public Affairs."
Cui Xin nodded silently and suddenly asked: "Where is Pei Shiju?"
"Imprisoned in Taiji Palace." Princess Pingyang pointed to Zhongshu Province not far away, "Mr. Cui will wait a moment, Your Majesty will summon you."
Cui Xin smelled a stronger smell of blood at the entrance of Zhongshu Province, and couldn't help but glance at the Beiya Forbidden Officer's Office not far away. There were purple-black blood stains on the ground that could not be washed away for a while.
Not long after I sat down in Zhongshu Province, Xue Yuancao from next door came to inquire. As the Huangmen Minister, he was the adjutant of the Menxia Province, but Xue Yuanchao was not called into the Liangyi Palace, and Yu Wenshi and this Zhongshu Minister But he went in... Obviously Li Yuan and Li Shimin had some opinions on Xue Yuanchao.
In fact, it is easy to explain. Yu Wenshiji and Li Shan have old friends, so before the war in Tiance Mansion ended, Fan Shiyi, who stayed in the imperial city, sent someone to notify... He is also currently serving as the Sima of Tiance Mansion. As soon as Yuwenshi and his family heard that the prince was dead, they immediately rushed to Zhuque Gate with their servants.
Before even a few words had been exchanged, someone from the palace came to summon Cui Xin to see him. The latter walked quickly into the Liangyi Palace, and the palace was in a commotion at this moment.
Cui Xin took a few glances and found that there were people from the Household Department, the Ministry of War, the Shaofu, Taichang, and the Ordnance Supervisor. His Majesty was sitting at the top, and his son-in-law Li Shan was sitting at the bottom. Leaning on a soft couch, supporting his head with one hand, his eyes were half-opened, and he occasionally spoke a few words.
"Are you hurt?" Cui Xin pulled Su Dingfang, who was arguing with the weapons supervisor, and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cui." Su Dingfang responded and turned around and shouted, "Who is here in Zhongshu Province?"
Zhongshu ordered Dou Gui and Xiao Yu to have gone down, each with his own business, leaving only Zhongshu's minister Yu Wenshiji.
"Finally here." Yuwen Shiji waved, "Quick, this is all yours."
Cui Xin's mouth twitched and he looked at the papers piled high on the desk. Are these all for edicts?
"Don't worry, it's good for you." Yu Wenshiji smiled and looked at Li Yuan who was also smiling, "His Majesty Xu Huairen's eldest daughter is the county head."
Cui Xin laughed twice. There was no way to reward him. Even his father-in-law was already a county official, so he was targeting the unborn child in his daughter's belly?
Pooh!
This baby must be Nongzhang!
At this moment, Li Shimin has taken Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong to Yunyang County, but there is still a lot of work, and every prime minister is very busy. Although the soldiers of the government all bring their own weapons, they have to organize Jingzhao Qingzhuang , still requires a large amount of ordnance.
There are more than 40 counties in Jingzhao. Just organizing the soldiers and young people into the army is a huge workload, and the allocation of grain and grass for such a large Jingzhao Prefecture must also be taken into consideration.
"It is necessary to strengthen the walls and clear the fields." Wen Yanbo, the Minister of Household Affairs, shouted hoarsely, "Anyone who can avoid entering the county must enter the city. If we can't take away the food and grass, then we will burn it!"
While Cui Xin was writing the edict, he murmured in his heart, "We are about to fortify the walls and clear the country, and we are about to set fire to burn food. What happened?"
It can't be because King Qin returned to Beijing that the army was defeated and Tuli Khan drank from the Yellow River, right?
"Martial law?" Li Yuan was a little hesitant, "Wen Qing, are we going to impose martial law now?"
Chen Shuda, the provincial minister under the sect, shook his head and said: "In such a big city of Chang'an, the martial law is under martial law at the moment. I'm afraid that the public will be violent and think that the King of Qin wants to raise a big prison, not to mention that the Longyou army has not yet entered the capital."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Li Shan, "What do Huairen think?"
Over there, Li Shan remained motionless in that posture, as if he hadn't heard anything. Chen Shuda was about to give a sharp shout, but Li Yuan waved his hand, stood up and took a look, only to see that Li Shan had fallen asleep like this.
"Huairen!" Yu Wenshiji pushed.
"Um...oh, Your Majesty." Li Shan suddenly woke up, his eyes were bloodshot, "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
"I really can't go to Ganlu Hall to sleep for a while. I'll call you when the battle report is delivered." Li Yuan was also helpless. He had no choice. He also knew that Li Shan basically didn't sleep in the past few days. He slept in Zhuangzi for less than an hour. I only slept for more than an hour in Shujing Hall.
"Let's discuss things first." Li Shan forced a smile.
Chen Shuda repeated Wen Yanbo's proposal just now, and Li Shan said decisively: "Martial law is necessary, and your Majesty can temporarily select generals to control the Jinwu Guards... Well, Xiurong County Boer Zhu Yichen was originally a disciple of the East Palace, as a way to show it to the public."
Li Yuan nodded and ordered to go down.
Li Shan glanced at the messy palace and said, "Your Majesty, who is in charge now?"
"Wen Yanbo, Duke of Xihe County." Chen Shuda coughed twice, "Huairen is exhausted now, so go and rest first."
Li Shan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, more than 40 counties in Jingzhao are nominally under Yongzhou, but in fact they are under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Order."
"Yes, Chang'an County Government can help a lot." Wen Yanbo agreed: "Your Majesty, we can transfer people from Chang'an County Government. They are most familiar with the counties in Jingzhao."
"Chang'an Order..." Li Yuan glanced at Li Shan, "Do you have any recommendations for Huairen?"
Li Shan smiled cheekily, "The former Chang'an magistrate Li Qianyou assisted the Duke of Xihe in handling logistics during the wars in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. He was quite effective. How about reviving?"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then nodded, thinking that Huairen values love, and this statement is indeed true.
Although Li Qianyou has a third brother who is a direct descendant of Li Shimin, and a second brother who is the military commander of Yanzhou Road, Li Shan suggested revolt mainly because of his old friendship with Li Qianyou.
