"Your Highness, there is a letter from Wei Zeguan!"
Ling Jing hurriedly entered the main hall of Jiudao Palace, bowed and handed over a letter.
Seeing Li Chengqian and Li Chengye's reluctant and reluctant expressions, Li Yuanji ordered someone to take them down first, and then took the letter.
While taking off the wax paint on the letter, he asked Ling Jing to sit down and asked casually, "How is the situation at Wei Zeguan now?"
Ling Jing was about to pour tea for himself. When he heard this, he quickly put down the wooden spoon for adding water and said respectfully: "I heard from the person who came to deliver the message that the situation has been controlled by Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang. Li Zhongwen has been captured. Jie
The assassins sent by Master Li and Master Liang have also been executed.
Now Li Zhongwen is being escorted by Tang Jian and He Fanren to Chang'an City."
Li Yuanji nodded and asked casually, "Where are the Turks and Master Liang? Have they retreated?"
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Well, the person who came to deliver the letter didn't say anything about it."
Li Yuanji nodded and did not ask any more questions, but read the letter seriously.
After reading the letter and understanding the specific process and results, Li Yuanji also knew the answer. He looked at Ling Jing and said: "Both the Turks and Liang Division have retreated."
Ling Jing said in disbelief: "How did your Royal Highness do it?"
Logically speaking, the crisis at Weize Pass is not that easy to resolve. Whether it is Li Zhongwen who holds the military power at Weize Pass and holds part of the military and political power of Bingzhou, he is still quietly lurking outside Weize Pass, eyeing the Tang Dynasty.
Both Jie Li and Liang Shidu could easily start a big battle at Weize Pass.
Whether Li Xiuning wants to capture Li Zhongwen or destroy Jie Li and Liang Shidu's conspiracy, as long as they are forced to the point where they are desperate, they will start a war at Weize Pass and use the most extreme and ultimate method to fight against Li Xiuning.
A showdown between male and female, and a fight for the right to own Weize Pass.
But now the crisis at Weizeguan has been resolved easily, without any major war.
This made Ling Jing very incredible.
Not only Ling Jing, but also Li Yuanji who knew the inside story also found it incredible.
Who would have thought that Li Zhongwen, who had made a lot of noise about rebellion in Weize Pass, Taiyuan Prefecture, and Bingzhou, and was just on the verge of raising a rebel flag and proclaiming himself king, would actually give in at the critical moment?
And he was very cowardly.
Not to mention Ling Jing, a native, even he who is familiar with history would not have thought of it.
Li Yuanji was filled with emotion and handed the letter to Ling Jing with a melancholy look on his face, telling Ling Jing to read it himself.
Ling Jing first raised his hands to show respect, then took the letter with both hands and read it carefully.
After reading it, the look of disbelief on his face became even stronger, and he subconsciously asked: "What did Li Zhongwen think?"
Li Yuanji leaned against the back of the cushion and said in a dumbfounded voice, "I also want to know what Li Zhongwen is thinking."
Ling Jing's hand holding the letter tightened, his eyes widened and he said, "Since he has already made an overstep, he could just go straight to the dark side, why should he turn back halfway?
Is it possible to turn around this kind of thing halfway?
He thought that if he turned back halfway and reined in his horse from the brink, the saint would be able to open his mind and let him go?"
Li Yuanji glared at Ling Jing angrily and funnyly and said, "Watch your stance."
Only then did Ling Jing realize that he was on the same side as the Tang Dynasty. Regarding Li Zhongwen's matter, he should be facing the Tang Dynasty, not Li Zhongwen.
He should also be grateful that things are developing in favor of Datang, instead of complaining that Li Zhongwen has a brain problem.
Immediately, Ling Jing smiled awkwardly and said, "I just felt it for the moment. I don't really hope that Li Zhongwen won't look back."
Li Yuanji felt the same way, so he nodded to express his understanding.
Seeing this, the embarrassment on Ling Jing's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of melancholy. He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you said that Li Zhongwen holds half of the garrison troops in Weze Pass.
He also controlled all the soldiers in Bingzhou, and there were Turks and people from Liangshidu outside Weize Pass to support him.
If he wanted to do something in Weize Pass, it would be easy.
Why did he take no action for so long, and why was he captured without mercy not long after Her Royal Highness the Princess arrived at Weize Pass?"
Li Yuanji couldn't understand this either.
Judging from the content of the letter from Weizeguan, after Li Zhongwen established Longyou Mansion and married the Tao family's daughter, his other actions were inexplicably weird.
After that, Li Zhongwen almost never did anything transgressive, nor did he take any transgressive actions.
Except for imprisoning Ma Sanbao when Ma Sanbao rushed to Weizeguan to seize military power from him and seek a pure land for Li Xiuning, and He Fanren who had the same idea as Ma Sanbao, there were no other
Other actions.
When Su Dingfang led his troops and rushed to Weize Pass, Li Zhongwen didn't know whether he was scared or worried about his own safety, so he took the initiative to contact the Turks and people from Liang Shidu several times.
Although the Turkic soldiers and horses lurking outside Weize Pass and the soldiers and horses in Liangshidu made several changes during this period, no major disturbances occurred.
Li Zhongwen also did not take advantage of the fact that the imperial court had not sent a large army to attack him, and cooperated with the Turks and the people of Liang Shidu to capture Weize Pass first, opening an opening for the Turks and Liang Shidu to go south, and for Jieli Khan and Liang Shidu to go south.
Master Liang received a certificate of nomination.
On the contrary, they kept using the secrets of the Turks and Master Liang to benefit both Jie Li and Master Liang.
What fine wines, beauties, BMWs, rare treasures, gold and silver jewelry.
Li Zhongwen almost asked for everything he knew or could name.
Both Jie Li and Master Liang "wanted" something from him, so naturally they tried their best to satisfy him.
After Li Zhongwen took advantage of Jie Li and Liang Shidu, he did not do anything for Jie Li and Liang Shidu, but enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
Use whatever is delicious and what is expensive.
In the words of Li Xiuning in his heart, it is just two days to maximize the wealth and honor in the world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This shows how far Li Zhongwen enjoyed himself.
According to statistics sent by Li Xiuning, if all Li Zhongwen's food and clothing expenses during his enjoyment were converted into money, the amount would reach 500,000 yuan.
Five hundred thousand guan does not sound like much, it is not even a quarter of the value of the medicinal materials donated by the dignitaries in Chang'an City to Sun Simiao for free medical treatment.
But it was a collective donation from all the nobles in Chang'an City. Among them, Li Yuan's inner treasury, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's own treasury all contributed a large amount of precious medicinal materials.
Almost all dignitaries from various families donated most of the precious medicinal materials in their homes. Some dignitaries who did not have many precious medicinal materials in their homes even went to major drug stores to buy some medicinal materials and donated them.
It is said that after the donation-raising free clinic, the major pharmacies in Chang'an City were out of supply of precious medicinal materials for three months.
It can be seen from this that whether it is medicinal materials worth more than two million guan or money worth more than 2 million guan, it is a considerable amount of wealth in the Tang Dynasty.
You must know that the taxes collected by the Tang Dynasty each year are converted into money, which is only about one million yuan.
The previous free clinic cost nearly two years of Datang's tax revenue. Li Zhongwen's twenty days, that is, more than half a month, cost nearly half a year of Datang's tax revenue.
This shows how extravagant Li Zhongwen has been.
It is estimated that only Shi Chong's resurrection can compete with him to see who is more extravagant.
After Li Zhongwen had had enough extravagance, as soon as Li Xiuning arrived at Weize Pass and showed up, he hardly struggled and was captured without any effort.
It can be said that what Li Zhongwen did in the early stage was a posture of wanting to rebel and always being prepared.
What he did in the later period did not appear to be a rebellion at all.
The huge differences and contradictions between before and after make people really confused as to what Li Zhongwen wanted to do after all this trouble.
You may say that he wanted to rebel. Apart from some transgressive acts, he did nothing else and did not cause any major harm to the Tang Dynasty.
Instead, they ate from the Turks and Liang Shidu, and drank from the Turks and Liang Shidu, allowing many people in Weize Pass and many people in Weize Pass to take advantage.
It has also allowed many people in Weize Pass and Weize Pass to get rid of poverty and become rich.
You may say that he is not rebellious, but he has transgressed, and is colluding with the enemies of the Tang Dynasty. He is also eating and drinking from the enemies, and he looks like he has been bribed.
Taken together, you can't understand what Li Zhongwen's purpose is and why he does it.
When people do something, there must be a purpose, right?
Whether this purpose is good or bad, it is the purpose.
If there is no purpose, what is the point of doing it?
You can't just be bored and having fun, right?
The problem is that if Li Zhongwen does this kind of thing, his head will be lost, and not just one person will be killed, but the whole family, or even three clans.
There's no way Li Zhongwen would be joking about something like this, right?!
"To be honest, I don't understand why Li Zhongwen didn't take any action for a long time, and why he didn't hesitate to arrest my sister after she arrived."
After Li Yuanji thought carefully for a while, he shook his head and sighed.
Ling Jing said thoughtfully: "Is there some hidden secret?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment and sighed: "If he had the inside story, he should have written a letter explaining the inside story to my father, but he did not write a letter."
Ling Jing said: "Maybe there is something unspeakable?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said angrily: "Even if there is a huge unspeakable secret, it can't be an excuse for him to go overboard, right? He married Tao's daughter Ying Taoli Zhige, and he could barely find one or two people who could make sense.
Excuse.
But it is unjustifiable for him to establish Longyou Mansion.
Establishing a government is different from establishing a government. That is my father's unique authority.
Even though our brothers were deeply favored by my father, we didn't dare to go over half an inch.
He is an outsider and a subject, how dare he go beyond that?"
