Chapter 636
Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it will take time for the news to spread. Su Dingfang killed Zhao Yi, and Chang'an just got the news that Dugu Ming died in Liangzhou Prison.Following the news of Dugu Ming's death, there was already an uproar inside and outside Chang'an City.

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

The servants in the palace are leading Jin Wang Li Zhi and Jin Yang Princess Li Mingda to play in the garden outside the palace, while Li Shimin and Li Ke are sitting in the palace, their expressions are not good-looking.

"The Longyou Clan has been entrenched in Liangzhou for many years, and the local popularity is not even weaker than our Tang Dynasty. This incident happened suddenly, and the participation of the Longyou Clan must be behind it." Li Shimin looked at the letter sent by the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion Regarding the news that Lonely Ming was stabbed to death in Liangzhou Prison, he told Li Ke with a serious face.

Li Shimin's news was delivered urgently by Liangzhou Governor's Mansion through the post station eight hundred miles away. Although it was urgent, it was inevitable that there would be a slight pause. However, Li Ke's news was delivered by Su Dingfang's confidant on a fast horse, day and night. In fact, this Li Ke received the news half a day earlier than Li Shimin, and Li Ke was not too surprised by the news.

Li Kedao: "Father ordered Su Lie to be the governor of Liangzhou. He intended to take this opportunity to suppress the Guanlongmen faction. Naturally, they were unwilling to sit and wait for death. It was reasonable to react once."

Li Shimin said: "They are unequivocal. I transferred Su Dingfang to be the governor of Liangzhou. It was originally intended to be a test. I didn't expect their reaction to be so big. It was beyond my expectation."

Hearing this, Li Ke replied: "There must be a reason why these aristocratic families can still stand in Longyou despite the change of dynasty. They are very sensitive, how can they not understand the principle of boiling frogs in warm water."

The phrase "boil frogs in warm water" was just a remark by Li Ke, but it was a new word for Li Shimin. Li Shimin asked in puzzlement, "What is boiled frogs in warm water?"

Li Ke replied: "If you boil frogs in water, if you boil them in boiling water, the temperature will be too hot, and the frogs will jump away as soon as they enter the pot. However, if you boil them in warm water, they will be suitable at the beginning, and they will stay in the water without moving. When the water gradually boils, it will no longer have the power to get out of the water, so it can be done.”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slowly and said: "Although what Ke'er said is interesting, it is not without reason. Right now, these Longyou sects are frogs waiting to be boiled in my eyes, but their reactions are really fast enough. Where are they?" They are embarrassing Su Lie, obviously they are embarrassing me."

Li Ke said: "The governor of Liangzhou is second, but it is still rare for the governor of Liangzhou to also be in charge of the generals of the sixteen guards. This is what surprised them. The father is the king of the world, and he must do what he says. They may have guessed the father. Intentions, fear of the majesty of the father, it is inevitable."

The governor of Liangzhou is in Longyou, but he is not in charge of the government army. The general of the Sixteenth Guards is in charge of the government army, but he is in the capital. Except for the general of the army, there are very few precedents for a local governor to also serve as the general of the Sixteenth Guards. Li Shimin's action was so sudden, it was inevitable that the people of the Longyou clan panicked.

Li Shimin said: "The more this is the case, the more it means that I have hit their vital point with this knife, and the more we can't just let this matter go."

Li Ke asked: "I don't know what the father can do? Since we can't let this matter go, then we can't just leave Su Lie in Liangzhou, Beijing still has to make a statement."

Li Shimin thought for a while and replied: "What Ke'er said is very true. I want Wei Xuancheng to go to Longyou. Wei Xuancheng has a strong temperament and is from Hebei. He is also decisive in his actions. He will not succumb to the prestige of the clan in Longyou. You can do it. .”

The sudden death of Captain Zhechong has alarmed the government and the public, and the government will naturally send officials to investigate the matter, and the candidate to go to Guanlong is extremely important.The Guanlongmen faction is very powerful in Liangzhou, if they entrusted someone else, not only would they not be able to help Su Dingfang, but they would also draw closer to the Guanlongmen faction, and the loss would not be worth the gain.

Wei Zheng came from the Wei family in Julu, Hebei, and he was not from the same line as the Guanlongmen Clan. In addition, Wei Zheng valued literature over martial arts, and looked down on these Guanlongmen Clans who made their fortunes by relying on martial arts. What's more, for these Guanlong people, he will naturally handle them impartially in order to send them to Longyou, and will not be biased, let alone succumb to the Guanlong clan.

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's words, and said to Li Shimin with some concern: "Of course I know about Wei Xuancheng's true nature, but my son is worried that he is too upright and doesn't know how to adapt. If he is in charge of this matter, I am afraid that if he is serious, the whole Guanlong will be disturbed, and the commotion will be big."

At the beginning of the Zhenguan period, Wei Zheng served as an envoy to dethrone the Henan Province and inspected the area. The results were quite good and he was praised by the government and the public. Therefore, this time Li Shimin will first think of Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng has advantages and disadvantages, and his advantages and disadvantages And exactly the same.

Wei Zheng's temperament is too upright, there is no room for sand in his eyes, even if Li Ke and Li Shimin behave improperly, Wei Zheng will point it out to his face, not to mention the gang of Longyou Clan who Wei Zheng doesn't like at all.

When he goes to Liangzhou, he will definitely not cover up anyone. If he finds out something wrong, he will not give up easily. Does Li Shimin want it?

Li Shimin didn't want Longyou's government army to be under the control of the Guanlongmen clan, so he sent Su Dingfang to Liangzhou to open up the situation, but this didn't mean that Li Shimin wanted to completely tear himself apart with the Guanlongmen clan.

Li Shimin naturally hopes to suppress the Guanlongmen faction to death, but the Guanlongmen faction is still strong, and it is far from the time to fall out with them. The last trouble was ugly, and Emperor Sui Yang, who had torn his face, had already fallen to the death of the country. Li Shimin naturally did not dare to be careless about the fate of death.

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, and Li Shimin also realized the seriousness of Li Ke's words. Li Shimin asked Li Ke: "If Wei Zheng can't do it according to Ke'er's words, who can?"

Li Ke frowned and thought for a moment, and then replied: "Let's discuss the matter first, and I can send the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter, and then if necessary, my son can go there."

Captain Zhechong died in Liangzhou, which was an important case, so the Ministry of Punishment naturally wanted to go. It was reasonable for Li Ke to suggest that the minister of the Ministry of Punishment should go there, but when Li Shimin heard that Li Ke recommended a trip to Liangzhou, His brows were slightly frowned.

Li Shimin said: "Ke'er, you are my prince of the Tang Dynasty. It's a big deal to go to the west for a mere change."

Although Captain Zhechong is an important local official, it is absolutely impossible for Li Ke to come forward after the death of Captain Zhechong, so Li Shimin also said this.

Li Ke replied: "This matter is related to the clan of Longyou. Except for our father and son, it should not be entrusted to others. If it is necessary, I will go to Liangzhou. It is fine. But of course, I will not come forward for the sake of it." Dugu’s name, it’s all right for my ministers to pay homage to their ancestor, King Wuzhao.”
