Li Yuan quickly regained control of the situation, preventing this sudden incident from spreading to a larger-scale internal strife.
In such an incident, Li Yuan made some mistakes. It can be seen that after witnessing various battles during the Kaihuang period and experiencing the chaos during the Daye period, there is no doubt about Li Yuan's sophisticated political skills.
When the turmoil was on the rise, loyal civil and military ministers were summoned to the palace one after another.
Immediately, Dr. Guanglu and Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, came out to take charge of Yingyang Mansion and also served as the order of Chang'an.
Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang led the generals of Jin Zuo and took charge of Qianniu Mansion.
Then Pei Jiguan was reinstated.
He also ordered the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Prince Zhan Shi, Li Gang, and Pei Ji to convene with the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dr. Guanglu, and Duke Xiao Yu of the Song Dynasty to try the case of Liu Wenjing's rebellion.
Judging from the background of these chief judges, Liu Wenjing's fate is actually destined.
Li Gang is Prince Zhan Shi and is a subordinate of the East Palace.
Not to mention Pei Ji, who was Liu Wenjing's old enemy. With him appearing in the position of chief judge, Li Yuan's meaning was very clear.
Xiao Yu, who was next, was a relative of the Li family, but he had a good friendship with Li Shimin. He was obviously a person who joined for balance or to cover up others.
In any case, the turmoil in Chang'an City gradually subsided, and the emperor's intention was also very clear. Everything started with Liu Wenjing's rebellion, so that was the end of it. Anyone who does not know how to advance or retreat, and stirs up trouble must be prepared to be punished.
Prepare for severe punishment.
The first one was Li Yuanji, the most joyful king of Qi, who jumped up and down. After that, Li Yuan ordered Qi Wang Li Yuanji to enter the palace. He forced his way into Prince Qin's palace in public and severely blamed Li Yuanji.
So, the fourth prince sluggishly went back to his mansion to think about his past behind closed doors.
The trial process of Liu Wenjing's case ended very quickly. Liu Wenjing was not a soft-hearted person and had no intention of giving in. He frankly admitted that he was particularly resentful about the unfair rewards and punishments after following Li Yuan to take charge of Chang'an.
But he didn't admit anything about the rebellion.
At the end of the trial, the opinions of the several presiding judges were very interesting. Li Gang and Xiao Yu had similar opinions. They both believed that Liu Wenjing's rebellion was completely false. However, he was disrespectful to the emperor, complained quite a lot, and had a domineering attitude, so he could be deprived of his official position.
, so that he can reflect on himself.
Li Yuan must have been dissatisfied with the result, so he immediately asked Pei Ji.
Pei Ji is one of the lucky ministers. He has no talent, but he is the best at doing things that suit the emperor's wishes.
So he first praised Liu Wenjing's talents and achievements, and then said that the world was uncertain and powerful enemies were everywhere. With Liu Wenjing's ability and his character, if he led the army for a long time, there would be endless troubles.
Li Yuan "felt deeply convinced" and immediately issued an edict to kill Liu Wenjing's brother and confiscate their home.
In fact, it can be seen from this incident that the so-called trial is just a formality. In the end, it is Emperor Li Yuan's will that matters.
It can be said that since the war in the late Jin Dynasty, Li Yuan vaguely possessed all these characteristics of the royal family. His handling of this matter was also extremely rough and there were no highlights at all.
In fact, this can barely be regarded as a very serious political accident in which important ministers were killed without any supervision and without regard to physical evidence.
The evil consequences it caused will continue to be revealed. When he went south to Chang'an that day, the suspicion and ferocity displayed by Tang Gong, who was widely known throughout the world as a wise and generous man, could not be compared with the words "wise and generous".
It's up there.
Liu Wenjing was executed quickly, and even by the time Li Shimin's petition for mercy arrived in Chang'an, the heads of Liu Wenjing's brothers had already been on the ground for a long time.
Li Shimin's anger is unknown, but after the incident, there were more assassinations in Chang'an City, and even Qi King Li Yuanji's food was poisoned.
The battle between the Qin Palace and the East Palace and the Qi Palace has almost been put on the table.
In such a chaotic situation, Li Xiuning was ordered to leave Beijing and left the ever-deepening whirlpool of Chang'an.
Li Xiuning was naturally not in a good mood at this time. Before leaving Beijing, he entered the palace twice, once to ask for an explanation and once to bid farewell to his father.
I felt very bad when we met both times. My father is aging very quickly, and sometimes I can’t hear clearly what she is saying.
But in her father's deep and twinkling eyes, she could see growing uneasiness and suspicion. The calm and calm father who seemed to have everything under control when he was left behind in Taiyuan had disappeared.
.
I'm afraid all that's left is the emperor sitting on that throne.
What made her even more disappointed and worried was that her three brothers no longer had any family ties at all. Of course, she didn't know what this kind of fight meant.
It's just that things have changed and people have changed in just a few years, which is really hard for her to accept.
Her mother used to say back then that brothers working together can cut through metal, but now let's take a look and see who among the eldest brothers has kept this saying in mind?
What is especially hateful is that he actually used the help of outsiders to plot against his own sisters.
All these things accumulated in Li Xiuning's heart along the way, and she never showed a smile. Moreover, the purpose of this mission to Hedong also made her extremely entangled.
Therefore, she did not follow her father's wishes and go to Tongguan first and then enter Hedong.
Because she didn't want to see her eldest brother, no matter how hard she put on a smile, she acted as if nothing had happened.
So she went directly to Longmen Ferry with Tang Jian, Dugu Huai'en, the imperial eunuch who had left the capital, and then crossed the river and entered the border of Hedong.
Tang Jian and Dugu Huai'en both held the post of deputy general manager of the Shaanzhou Road March. The candidate for the general manager will most likely be decided between Li Shenfu and Qu Tutong.
From autumn to winter, tens of thousands of troops will gather along the Yellow River. Whether to counterattack Jin or stay on the spot will probably have to wait until she returns from her mission before making a decision.
In fact, with her intelligence, she could see that the outcome of the mission was not very important. When her delegation entered the Jin region, in addition to delaying time, she might also have to assume the responsibility of spying on military intelligence.
Before leaving, her father told her to pay a visit to the Pei family in Hedong. In fact, it was just to find out what was true in Hedong.
Once he realizes that Li Po's footing is not stable, then
Thinking of these, Li Xiuning's mood became even lower. His father and brothers had changed their appearance. Now his friends should probably be gone, right? At this point in life, what fun is there?
What she didn't know was that she had only reached the bank of the Yellow River, and the news of Li Shimin's victory over Xue Rengao had already reached Chang'an, which was a good medicine for Li Tang, who was gradually declining.
The most ambitious and powerful enemy in the northwest was defeated by Li Shimin in Fufeng. Most of Xue Rengao's troops surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Rengao led the remaining troops to retreat fifty miles.
After a brief reorganization of the army, he fought another battle with Liu Hongji's troops who were in pursuit. He was defeated by Liu Hongji and was killed.
The capital Qinzhou was destroyed.
More than a hundred members of the Xue family were captured, and most of them were killed under the Qinzhou City, leaving only a dozen people to be sent to Chang'an to offer sacrifices.
After defeating Xue Rengao, Li Shimin set up defense lines in Tianshui, Changwu and other northwest counties. Seeing that there was no movement from Li Gui in the northwest, he wanted to lead his army back east to deal with the war in the east.
Later, he was dissuaded by Fang Xuanling and others. The King of Qin had great achievements and taking advantage of the situation to return to the capital would be criticized by the public. It would be better to see what happened in Chang'an and the subsequent rewards first.
The meaning here is very clear. Prince Li Jiancheng has led his army to garrison in Tongguan, but has not made any decent achievements so far. Your return with such force will definitely cause great dissatisfaction among the prince's family.
Whether Chang'an, which had just experienced Liu Wenjing's incident, could withstand such a fierce battle, made people wonder. The emperor must also think about it, are you bringing troops back to investigate?
Moreover, the contrast between the defeat in the east and the great victory in the northwest was too strong. Some of the defeated generals were so jealous that they might turn to Prince Li Jiancheng.
Therefore, it is best to be stable for a while and wait until the emperor's order comes before making decisions.
Li Shimin is similar to Li Po. After a big victory, bad things happen one after another, quickly diluting the joy of victory and leaving Li Shimin in a dilemma.
Li Shimin then stayed in the northwest army on the grounds that Li Gui from the northwest would take advantage of the opportunity to invade from the east.
In any case, Li Tang's defense line in the northwest was immediately stabilized, and he subdued many of Xue Rengao's surrendered troops, greatly increasing Li Shimin's strength.
The original 60,000 elite soldiers suddenly expanded to more than 100,000. After the first battle, Li Shimin also became famous in the northwest.
When news of the victory reached Chang'an, Li Yuan was overjoyed and rewarded the Qin Palace and the meritorious soldiers in the northwest generously.
By the time the battle report reached Tang Jian and Dugu Huaien's army, Li Xiuning and his party had already crossed the Yellow River to Hedong, but such good news did not reach Li Xiuning.
It can be understood as a necessary means to ensure military confidentiality. Li Po knew about Li Tang's great victory in the northwest before Li Xiuning. It seems that the confidentiality was not well kept.
It also made this mission look more like a joke.
Besides, when Li Xiuning and others crossed the Yellow River, they were greeted by Yuchi Gong's troops who were guarding the Longmen Ferry. Without spending much time here, they sent out guards to protect the envoy and his party as they headed for Jiangjun.
At this time, Hedong County had been renamed Linhe County by Li Po to distinguish it from Hedong.
The weather is getting colder now, and the autumn harvest is almost over. The official road from Longmen to Jiangjun is very wide and flat, but the fields look very desolate.
There are really not many farmlands where grain can be harvested. After all, this road is also on the grain route of the Tang army. Linhe County is the most popular among the civilians, and the damage to farming is much more serious than that of Shangdang and Changping counties. It is a pity that
Such a good place.
Judging from the current situation, Linhe County's suffering is far from over, because it is located at the junction of Shanxi, Guanxi and Henan, a serious strategic buffer zone.
