Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 438 On Rewarding and Promoting Advisors
In the past, Lu Congbi had heard Li Junxian's name from Du Caigan, but she didn't dare to easily believe that this Li Junxian was the same Li Junxian she knew in the past.

It was not until the meeting today that Lu Congbi officially confirmed.

"Brother."

Li Junxian nodded, looked at her child, and said: "Du Caicai's rebellion will definitely implicate you, but don't worry, I will ask Your Highness for mercy."

"Thank you brother for saving me."

Lu Congbi said gratefully.

"Ma'am, save me, save me, ma'am." Seeing that Lu Congbi and Li Junxian knew each other, Du Caiqian hurriedly said.

Lu Congbi turned his head and ignored him.

She also wanted to speak, but the problem was that her relationship with Li Junxian was not that good. Li Junxian's promise to intercede with her and the child was already the limit, how could he ask for more.

In fact, there is not as much gossip between Li Junxian and Lu Congbi as Cheng Yaojin thought.Li Junxian is ten years older than Lu Congbi.

That is to say, when Li Junxian was a young man, Lu Congbi was still a little girl, and there was no such story as Cheng Yaojin thought.

Furthermore, between them, it can only be said that they know each other, not that they have deep feelings.But that's how human relationships are. When you know each other, you will always give some care.

"Shut up!" Li Junxian glared at the latter angrily, and ordered: "Take the traitor and his family members into custody!"

"Yes!"

Du Caiqian, Lu Congbi and others were taken down by the soldiers.

Seeing this, Su Lie, who hadn't spoken much, nodded secretly. After all, he is a general from the Shence Mansion, and he understands the rules very well.

Of course Li Junxian would not act for his own benefit, it would be unwise for him to destroy his bright future for a woman whom he has not seen for more than ten years.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Sure, you boy, now you look like a governor of a state."

Li Junxian snorted triumphantly, "Hei Si, you still have a lot to learn."

Huazhou, Weizhou, Pingding, Cheng Yaojin sent people to fly to Chang'an.

It was already late June, and Du Caiqian's rebellion failed even for half a month, and ended in a disastrous defeat.

And in Lizhou, Chai Shao's [-] soldiers and horses went down the river from Sanquan all the way down the river, and within three days they pulled out Li Xiaochang's twelve camps along the coast.

Unstoppable!

Xia Houduan, the governor of Zizhou, marched northward from Jianmen, attacked Yichang, broke through Jibaijin, and blocked Li Xiaochang's waterway.

Miantu has become a tragic situation besieged on all sides.

in a room.

"Everyone, Li Xiaochang's rebellion has been defeated, we don't have to follow him to death, what do you think?"

"You want to surrender?"

"Bullshit, we are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, this is called repentance."

"Brother Mazi, can we have this manpower?"

"Tomorrow the city gate is on duty, we will open the city and surrender to the heavenly soldiers. Li Xiaochang wants to die, but I don't want to die. If we don't surrender, we will have to go to Yizhou when the imperial soldiers come in."

嶲州
Thinking of that place, everyone shuddered.

Where is Sizhou?
In the deep mountains and jungles in the southwest of Bashu!
Where it is, the poor environment is second to none, mainly local barbarians and barbarians, who often go crazy and rebel.

It was impossible for the imperial court to mobilize large-scale troops in that place, and it could only suppress and appease them, which also caused the local public security environment to be extremely poor.

Maybe one day they will be captured and eaten by those savages.

"I did it!"

"I did too!"

"Brother Mazi, give your order."

"Okay, we brothers will live and die together."

Two days later, Zhang Mazi, the gatekeeper of Miantu City, surrendered to Chai Shao, the city gate was opened, and the imperial soldiers rushed in.

"General Chai, Governor Du."

"Xiahou Inspector."

Chai Shao, Du Ruhui and Xia Houduan met and bowed their hands together.

"This time I was able to quickly defeat the traitors, thanks to you two, I will definitely report the credit to His Highness the King of Chu, and reward you for your merits." Du Ru said with a dark smile.

Xia Houduan waved his hand and said, "This is what we should do."

Back then, he assisted Li Yuanji in guarding Bingzhou. Later, when Liu Wu surrounded the city, he was almost pissed off by Li Yuanji.

After Liu Wuzhou's fall, he said that he didn't want to continue to assist Li Yuanji, so he retired with Li Yuan.Lao Li couldn't bear him, so he asked him to go to Zizhou to serve as the governor.

"Du Inspector, may I ask how your Majesty is doing now?"

He and Lao Li were old friends, and he was a little worried about Li Yuan's health.

Du Ruhui sighed slightly, "If Lord Xiahou has the heart, he can go to Chang'an to visit His Majesty in the future. I can't say anything about the Tian family."

Hearing this, Xia Houduan understood.

It is really difficult to say that the prince and the king of Qi rebelled.

"okay, I get it."

Chai Shao said: "Let's catch Li Xiaochang first, and let's stay behind for reminiscing about the past."

"it is good."

Miantu City is small, Li Xiaochang was caught by Chai Shao within two hours after the city gate was broken.

"You are the clan, how dare you rebel!" Chai Shao glared.

Li Xiaochang knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

He raised his head and said with a sneer: "Successful and defeated, what is there to say, let Li Zhiyun kill me if he has the guts, let's see if he dares!"

"Oh, what else do you rely on?" Du Ruhui asked curiously.

Li Xiaochang said: "I am a hero of the Tang Dynasty. When His Majesty entered the Guanzhong in the past, I donated Yongfeng warehouse to him. I shed blood for the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhiyun dare not kill me!"

"That's all?" Du Ruhui asked with some disappointment.He thought that Li Xiaochang colluded with some people in the court, and that's the end?

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaochang asked back.

Du Ruhui sneered, he was too lazy to talk to him, and said to Chai Shao: "General, I'm going to confiscate the family property of the traitor, transfer it to Chang'an, and hand it over to Your Highness."

"It's up to you, sir."

Du Ruhui flicked his sleeves, but it was useless to look Li Xiaochang in the eye.

Hearing that Du Ruhui was going to raid his home, Li Xiaochang was anxious, he hurriedly said to Chai Shao: "Go and stop him, go!"

Chai Shao said indifferently: "You are not the only one who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

After finishing speaking, he was too lazy to talk to Li Xiaochang, so he waved someone to take him away.

In July of the sixth year of Wude, in Lizhouping, the victory was reported to Chang'an.

The rebellion lasted only about a month before it was declared over.

political affairs hall.

"The governor of Weizhou was changed to Dai Zhou, the governor of Huazhou was abolished, and Du Yan was appointed governor. Cheng Yaojin was named the deputy general of Zuo Xiaowei. The governor of Lizhou was abolished, and Xue Yuanjing was replaced as governor. The vacancy of Chang'an Order was written by Pei Xuanji An Ling of the principal of the inspection. Consort Chai Shao, governor of Xuzhou Li Junxian, governor of Zizhou Xia Houduan, governor of Huaizhou Huang Junhan, Su Lie, and the counter-insurgency officers will be rewarded according to the law."

After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he looked at the four prime ministers and asked, "What do you think?"

Pei Ji had already admitted his cowardice, so naturally it was impossible to have any objections, so he immediately seconded the proposal.

Yang Gongren and Chen Shuda also had no objections, and they were not stupid, they could tell that the King of Chu was promoting the counselors of the Shence Mansion.

Pei Ju frowned and said, "Your Highness, Pei Xuanji is not qualified enough to serve as Chang'an Commander. I'm afraid it will cause criticism. Your Highness, please take it back."

"It's okay, I trust him, Prime Minister Pei doesn't need to say too much, you have to have confidence in him." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.

Pei Ju was just being polite, it was a great thing for his son to take the post of Chang'an Commander.

"My minister obeys."

After everything, Xiaochao dispersed.

Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, and Pei Ju walked together.

"A few days ago, I asked His Highness what he meant, and he said we have to wait."

"Wait?" Chen Shuda frowned and looked at Yang Gongren, "Looking at the princes of the clan, is there anyone more qualified to be in charge of the East Palace than Your Highness?"

"That's not what it means." Yang Gongren explained: "His Royal Highness said that he wants to wait for the saint to recover before asking us to propose."

"I see." Chen Shuda nodded and said, "It's rare for His Highness to be filial."

Pei Ju nodded and said: "We can't rush this matter, we have to plan slowly, we'd better not make our own decisions, and wait for His Highness's order."

"makes sense."

The two nodded.
