Chapter 0982 Hundreds of officials dance with swords, is it intended for Yonggong?
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhao Chengyong hurriedly explained: "You also nodded at that time, otherwise I would not have obeyed my order."
is that so?!
Li Yuanji had doubts in his heart.
Why don't you have any impression?
Could it be that he was too drunk and lost his film?
Li Yuanji thought about it carefully, but still didn't think of this problem.
However, when Zhao Chengyong said this, neither Li Shimin nor Chu Suiliang refuted it. Not only that, Chu Suiliang also nodded to express that this was indeed the case.
That seems to be true.
Then there's nothing to worry about.
After all, it was him who nodded that Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang followed Li Shimin's instructions, so no wonder Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang did it.
"If that's the case, then just do it."
Li Yuanji nodded and pretended to be relaxed.
Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang bowed again.
"I've already finished it..."
"That's good, let's go down."
"..."
After sending Zhao Chengyong and Chu Suiliang away, Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin but did not speak to Li Shimin.
Whether Li Shimin was helping to check for leaks or testing them, now was not the time to care.
Li Jing won a great victory in Monan, completely defeated Jieli and captured Jieli alive. The Tang Dynasty's war against the Turks was considered a phased victory.
Next is the time to harvest the fruits of victory. Under such circumstances, who would have the heart to compete with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin doesn't have many manpower at his disposal now, and the confidants he trained in the past have either been recruited or assigned.
Even if you have different intentions, you can't make big waves in a short time.
By the time he has the strength to make a big splash, Datang will probably be powerful enough for him to look up to, and he will know what to choose by then.
…
Time flies into November, and the weather on the grassland gets even colder, and from time to time there will be heavy snowfall that can cover the sky and the earth.
When the snow is three to four feet thick, it is impossible for cars, horses, and people to move around outside.
However, under such circumstances, Datang still achieved a comprehensive victory on the battlefield in Liangzhou.
After the entire territory of Tuyuhun was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, together with Qu Tutong and other veteran killers, held a Hongmen banquet for Murong Shun, and put a knife on Murong Shun's neck to give Murong Shun a choice.
question.
That was whether Murong Shun should fully rely on the Tang Dynasty or continue to be the king of Tuyuhun with the support of the Tang Dynasty.
Murong Shun is not stupid, so how could he not know what to choose?
Murong Shun almost without hesitation chose to fully rely on Datang.
Li Yuan was very happy, and he canonized Murong Shun as the King of Xiping County on the spot, and divided Tyuhun into two parts, established Xizhou and Heping Prefecture, and completely incorporated Tuyuhun into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Gaoqian was appointed as the governor of Xizhou, the general manager of Xizhou, and the governor of Xizhou. He commanded 20,000 Xizhou soldiers (former Tuyuhun soldiers and horses), 5,000 Xizhou soldiers (the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty transferred from Longyou Road),
In charge of all important military and political affairs in Xizhou.
Zhang Pinggao was appointed as the governor of Pingzhou, the general manager of Pingzhou, and the governor of Pingzhou. He also commanded 20,000 Pingzhou soldiers and 5,000 Pingzhou government soldiers, and was in charge of all important military and political affairs in Pingzhou.
These two states are temporarily controlled by the Governor's Office and the Grand Governor's Office of Longyou Road.
How it will develop in the future depends on whether the Tang Dynasty will continue to expand territory near Xizhou and Pingzhou. If it continues to expand territory and conquer a few more states, it is possible to establish another alliance to expand the territory of Xizhou.
The state and Pingzhou were allocated to it.
Murong Shun and his family will follow Li Yuan back to Chang'an when Li Yuan's squadron returns to the court.
Li Yuan had already ordered people to build a big house for him and his family in Chang'an City, and also asked people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to allocate a farm for them outside Chang'an City.
After they arrive in Chang'an, they will probably be able to settle in.
As for the newly built house being relatively cold and humid and not suitable for living in, that is not within the scope of Li Yuan's consideration.
If Li Yuan was a kind man, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others would not have lost their heads after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.
From the fate of Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others, we can see Li Yuan's attitude towards this group of people.
Therefore, Li Yuan did not yell at Murong Shun to kill him, but instead gave him his house and farm, which was already very kind.
During this period, Datang's victory was far more than just Liangzhou. In Liaodong, Datang also gained a lot and received good news one after another.
After the two brothers Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun pushed back the counterattack of the Dahe Alliance, Chai Shao led the Chinese army in Liaodong and launched a brazen attack on all the territory of the Dahe Alliance.
In two months, the entire territory of the Great He Alliance was plowed.
Now the Great He Alliance has been completely conquered by the Tang Dynasty.
Even after the war, there were not many living people in Liaodong.
In order to complete the task of "not allowing any objectionable voice to exist", Chai Shao was killing with a loose hand, killing without distinction, and killing everyone he saw. In Liaodong, he has become Chai Shao who can stop children from crying at night.
Yama is gone.
Not only that, Chai Shao became ruthless and even killed his own people.
Pang Yu, the former general manager and governor of Youzhou, was dragged down from his sick bed and beaten to death with a cane. Li Daliang, the former general manager and governor of Jizhou, was also beaten with twenty military sticks by him because of his unfavorable battle, and it was also a heavy stick.
, and was almost beaten to death on the spot.
Tu Diji's brother, nephew, and the son of Ye Hu, a powerful tribe, were beheaded by him, a total of sixteen, and together with their clan members, nearly three thousand people were beheaded.
That is to say, Ye Hu, the Tudiji and Taqiang tribes, knelt properly in front of him, otherwise he might even have defeated the Tudiji and Taqiang tribes.
However, Chai Shao's murderous killings were not without price.
He brought more than 60,000 soldiers to Liaodong, and the number of casualties reached 20,000, which was slightly more than Li Jing's conquest of the Turks and Su Dingfang's conquest of the Liang Kingdom combined.
It is precisely because of this that there are currently so many memorials impeaching him for his unkindness in running the military.
As for his massacre in Liaodong, no one asked or cared about it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The people who were killed were not the people of the Tang Dynasty. How could the officials of the Tang Dynasty meddle in such nosy matters.
There are officials in the Tang Dynasty who are always overflowing with the heart of the Holy Mother, but they have not reached high positions yet.
Those currently in high positions are all murderous talents who have emerged from troubled times, and each one is more murderous than the last.
If we expect them to be overflowing with the Holy Mother's heart, we might as well expect Chai Shao to be kind-hearted and hold back the butcher's knife.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Li Yuanji held a hand warmer in his hand. After reading another memorial to impeach Chai Shao that was rushed from Chang'an, he said displeasedly: "We spent 600 miles to rush, and all that was sent was this. This is not the case."
Abuse of public equipment?!"
Chai Shao's unkindness in running the army caused excessive losses to the soldiers who conquered Liaodong, which was wrong.
But every official of the fourth rank and above in the court spent six hundred miles to rush to deliver the memorial to impeach Chai Shao, which was obviously too much.
Eight-hundred-mile express, six-hundred-mile express, they are all public weapons of the country.
You can use it to report urgent border issues, or the will of the world that needs to be revealed as soon as possible, or some major events that will affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
If it is used for other things, it is abuse.
Chu Suiliang, who was sitting on the right hand side, heard this and said hesitantly: "Would you like me to draft a document and send it back for instructions?"
At present, what Chu Suiliang writes most in the Chinese army's large tent is the document of instructions.
Li Yuanji didn't like to interfere with the command of the frontline generals, so there were very few military orders sent from the Chinese army's main tent, and there were many remonstrance documents.
Today you scold this, tomorrow you scold that, this is normal.
If he neither commands the army nor curses, then what is the point of His Highness, King Yong, sitting here?
Li Yuanji nodded and was about to speak when he heard Li Shimin, who was lying on the couch on the left hand side and looking through various military reports, say something faintly, "They are not impeaching Chai Shao, they are changing."
How about the legal impeachment of you? Don’t you think about it, is Chai Shao worth all the officials of the fourth rank and above, both in the government and the opposition, spending 600 miles to expedite and impeach him collectively?"
Is he worthy?
This was probably what Li Shimin wanted to say the most, but Li Shimin didn't say it, so Li Yuanji said it in his heart for him.
Li Yuanji thought about it carefully and found that what Li Shimin said was indeed reasonable.
He is just a Chai Shao, and he really has no qualifications to lead to the collective impeachment of all officials of the fourth rank and above, both in the government and in the public.
Although Chai Shao's status was noble, there were many people in the government and the public who had more noble status than him. No matter how much he went further, he could not affect their status, so it was impossible for these people to impeach him because of his unkindness in running the army.
Those with lower status than him have no need to impeach him or offend him because of something that has already happened, let alone speak out for the death of a group of people who are not people of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, his battle losses have not yet reached 40%, and are still close to 40%. Although he has killed more people, he has not been defeated, and it is impossible for the government and the public to join forces to besiege him.
Even if everyone in the government and the opposition couldn't stand his behavior in Liaodong and wanted to impeach him, they couldn't collectively use six hundred miles to expedite it.
What's more important is that without the nods of the three ministers from the three provinces, let alone the fourth-rank officials, even Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, the princes who have made great contributions to the country and are very favored, want to spend 600 miles to rush, it is not that easy.
.
Those three officials from the three provinces are all people with sense of proportion. It is impossible for them to allow officials of the fourth rank and above in the government and the public to use six hundred miles on a large scale because of Chai Shao's unkindness in running the army.
Based on his status, if he dislikes Chai Shao, he can impeach him directly. Moreover, his impeachment can shake Chai Shao, so there is no need to make such a big fuss.
So this time the turmoil is indeed not directed at Chai Shao, but at Li Yuanji.
After figuring out the joints, Li Yuanji also guessed the purpose of this turmoil, "They felt that my campaign lasted too long and the battlefield I opened was too big. Now I have achieved some victories, so
You want me to stop, you want me to go back?"
Li Shimin curled his lips and said in a neutral tone: "It's not too stupid..."
