Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 577 It's Not My Fault This Time

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, 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 was 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 that if Li Xiaogong rebels, will Jianghuai and Jiangnan fall?

You must know that a considerable number of generals and schools under Li Xiaogong's command are Li Shimin's old troops, and if Li Xiaogong rebels, he is most likely to send troops, and the closest is Li Shimin's headquarters, Daxingtai, Shandong Road.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng was very suspicious, and Li Shimin instigated Li Shimin to inform Li Xiaogong of rebellion.

You must know that Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion 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, except for the Yizhou Road in the middle of Sichuan, it is all Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor the jurisdiction of the government.

If this incident was really instigated by Li Shimin, and if something happened next that led to King Qin's lineage being able to take control of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Jiancheng felt that... he was already dispensable as a prince, and even his father's throne was a bit vain .

You must know that the Minister of Yizhou Road is also Li Shimin, all the areas south of the Yangtze River, plus the Daxingtai of Shandong Road in the Central Plains, Hebei does not have a Xingtai, but Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Luozhou who governs several states, is also from the Qin Dynasty... Li Shimin It is enough to go directly to Luoyang to become the emperor.

Suddenly being asked such a question, Li Shimin was not flustered, nor did he answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while before speaking, "Father, the first thing is to call Li Jing, the Duke of Yongkang County, to return immediately and take charge of the Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou with a long history."

"Uncle Zhaojun broke Nanliang and pacified the south of Lingnan in a few years, and this time he quelled the Jianghuai chaos. It can be said that he has made great achievements." Li Shimin said in the end, emphasizing his tone, "Yongkang County Duke has always been the deputy of Zhaojun Wangshu."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. In fact, before Li Shimin came, he had already ordered Li Jing to return.

In fact, everyone here knows well that although Li Xiaogong once served as the comfort ambassador of Shannan Province in the early years of Wude, led troops to patrol the Bashu area, and went to more than [-] states, but his military achievements were few. The main achievements were breaking the beams, pacifying Lingnan and peace. JAC.

But for these three things, Yongkang County Duke is the real commander... In other words, Li Jing's prestige in the army north of the Yangtze River is not inferior to that of Li Xiaogong, and his ability is even greater.

However, Li Jing led his troops northward to serve as the governor of the Daizhou, obviously he had no objection, and letting him return to Zhenjiang River would stop the chaos from happening.

"Secondly, Uncle Zhao Jun..." Li Shimin suddenly looked up at Li Jiancheng, "Is there any evidence of treason?"

Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

"Father, brother." Li Shimin said softly, "Maybe it's a false accusation. Uncle Zhaojun Wang should not be rebellious, so he should be called back to Beijing to inquire in detail."

Li Yuan groaned silently, if Li Xiaogong really wanted to rebel, recalling him back to court would probably cause him to act immediately, which was also the reason why he was hesitant.

"Yongkang County Lord has already led the troops back." Li Shimin reminded: "If you don't call Uncle Zhaojun back to Beijing immediately, I'm afraid there will be another disturbance."

Li Yuan suddenly realized that Li Jing had returned with five thousand Jianghuai soldiers. If Li Xiaogong really objected, he would be alert immediately. It's hard to say.

The most important thing is that if Li Xiaogong doesn't want to rebel, he can be called back to Beijing with a decree. If he is determined to rebel, it doesn't matter whether the decree to call him back to Beijing is issued or not.

"Decree to summon Li Xiaogong to return to the capital immediately." Li Yuan glanced at Yang Gongren and Feng Lun, pondered for a moment and said: "Erlang, order the Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province to gather troops."

"Yes."

Several prime ministers quietly looked at the embarrassing prince Li Jiancheng out of the corner of their eyes. As far as this matter is concerned, the East Palace was a complete failure.

The prime ministers don't know the cause of this incident, but judging from the way Li Shimin Jianyan dealt with it just now, it should not be his secret instigation, because Li Jing, the Duke of Yongkang County, is not regarded as the lineage of King Qin.

Pei Ji knew why Li Jiancheng was so frustrated and angry. For more than half a year, Donggong has been trying to win over Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao Jun. It's hard to say whether it's successful or not, but the progress is not bad.

In the eyes of many people, although Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong is not qualified to be compared with Qin Wang Li Shimin, he is only second to Li Shimin among the clan's children.

Regardless of whether Li Xiaogong really wanted to rebel this time, and got involved in this suspicion, as long as there were no accidents, Li Xiaogong would no longer be able to lead the army into battle, at least he would not be able to stand alone and have the right to do so.

After a moment of silence in Liangyi Hall, Li Yuanji suddenly asked, "Father, that Daizhou..."

The governor of Yongkang County is about to cross the Yellow River, and now he is going back to the south of the Yangtze River, but Daizhou is still waiting for him to take over.

What's more, Li Jing has resigned from his post as the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.

If Li Jing doesn't go north, then Li Shan... Thinking of this, Li Shimin took the initiative to cast a helpless look at Li Jiancheng... This matter really has nothing to do with me!

As far as Li Shan's level is concerned, if the Turks attack, they will be in a hurry, in case something goes wrong... Apart from other things, if Li Shan, Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Gongjin were to die in Daizhou, Li Shimin would cry in distress.

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan ordered with a cold face, "call the Duke into the palace."

Ying Guogong is now the Ministry of Industry Shangshu samurai Xun. This person is the first old man to follow Li Yuan. He has contributed a lot. Taiyuan Yuanmou Heroes List is No.13. The most important thing is that he is one of the few old people who has no choice. The courtiers who stand on the ground are only loyal to Li Yuan.

There was silence in the hall for a while, which was a major change in the feudal officials after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Neither Li Jing nor the samurai Xun are descendants of the clan, and Li Yuan obviously intends to choose one of these two to take charge of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.

You must know that before this, those who can assume the power in the aspect have always been the children of the clan. Except for Li Shimin, Li Daoxuan, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan are all the children of the clan.

The world is already unified, and Li Yuan intends to take over power... Pei Shiju, who has been in the ups and downs of his career for decades, inadvertently glanced at Li Shimin. If His Majesty wants to take over power, he will always encounter Daxingtai on Shandong Road and Daoxingtai on Yizhou Road.

It was dusk at this time, but before the night fell, the news about Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong's rebellion was already spreading, everyone who should know, and who had the right to know, already knew.

Inside 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 was on Li Shan in the end.

It's already the beginning of May, can the Yongkang County Governor go north again so soon to be the governor of the acting state?
According to the usual practice, the Turks will soon harass Hedong. Can Li Shan, who is about to leave for Beijing, be able to resist it?

Different from Yugushe and Yusheshe before, this time Jieli Khan will definitely bring a large army to attack. Even if the whole country will not invade, there must be overwhelming cavalry behind him.
