Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 520 Drive Li Yuan away
To say that during this period of time, Liaodong is indeed relatively quiet.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, the emperor's army retreated, and the Goguryeo people did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack, but the result was a mutiny and civil strife suddenly broke out after a period of calm.

Yuan Taizuo killed the king Gao Jianwu, and also killed Ulji Wende, the military commander of the royal protection faction. This general was called the God of War by the Goguryeo people because he defeated the Sui army in the last Eastern Expedition.

It's a pity that a generation of war gods did not die under the iron hoof and sharp sword of the Sui army, but died at the hands of their own family in the end.

After Gao Jianwu and Eulji Mundeok died, almost all the nobles of the royalist faction were killed. Yuan Taejo entered the Imperial Guard camp alone, and successfully brought the Imperial Guard under his command.

The royalist party in Goguryeo fell into a difficult choice.

Either submit to the new king of North Korea, or can only be suppressed by the Yuan family.

Many royalists finally chose to recognize the new dynasty and support the new monarch, but some people were stubborn.For example, Yang Wanchun, who only had one hand left, refused to admit it. Not only that, but he also went to the Korean peninsula to recruit troops everywhere, and now he has pulled up an army of tens of thousands of people at the old site of Pyongyang. Although it is a mob, Goguryeo still has 700 years of prestige, and many people are still very loyal to the royal family.

And Yang Wanchun not only raised troops in Pyongyang, he also sent people to contact the Mohe tribe, hoping that they would continue to send troops south.The leaders of several tribes in Mohe all married the daughters of the Wang family.

On the surface, Goguryeo has changed dynasties, and now it is Yuanshi Joseon, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, and a civil war is about to begin.

Of course, Li Yuan, the prefect of Xincheng, was not very interested in this.

He wished that those Goguryeo people would fight, the more fierce the fight, the better.What he cares more about is the Central Plains, or the court.

In contrast, Luo Yi entered the pilgrimage and Luo Cheng captured and beheaded two false emperors one after another. This news stimulated him more.The Luo family has really risen, with two princes and two lords from one family, and even a princess.

Not to mention that now that Luo Yi is in charge of the court, Luo Cheng guards Liaodong, and Luo Siye is still in charge of Xiao Guo.

But the eight-pillar country that was once magnificent has now withered.

Just because of rumors that the Li family should be in charge of the world, the emperor actually uprooted the grand master Li Mu's family. How powerful the Li family was back then. When Tang Guogong Li Yuan saw people like Li Hun and Li Min, he would have to Nodding and smiling.

But now, there is a rumor that the Li family should have the world, and the emperor directly killed this big family. The more than 100 children who were officials in the court were wiped out with one sentence. The Li family, each with a seat among the two generals.

The Li Bi family, also belonging to the eight-pillar country, was also implicated because of Li Mi's participation in Yang Xuangan's rebellion. This time, all the children of the Li Bi family were stripped of their titles and dismissed from official positions.

There is also the Yu family, Yu Zhongwen was killed last time, and this time the Yu family was implicated because a son surrendered Yang Xuangan outside the eastern capital city, and the entire Yu family's children were cut off from their official titles.

Tang Guogong's mansion is also one of the Eight Pillar countries. Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, used to be the general of the Zhu Kingdom. In his generation, the Li family had many children and many officials, but compared to Li Mu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, etc. The family is still far behind.

After all, his grandfather died early, and his father died early.

In Xincheng, Li Yuan couldn't sleep all night when he heard the news that several big families had been confiscated.

During this period of time, Li Yuan was very quiet, staying in the prefect's mansion in Xincheng all day, thanking guests behind closed doors, not to mention not daring to go in and out of the barracks, talking too much with the generals, for fear of being charged with conspiracy.

Li Yuan was sitting in the study, holding a pipa in his arms, plucking it gently.

His pipa is still very good, at the level of everyone.

Li Jiancheng walked in quickly and stood at the door.

"Father, Luo Cheng is here."

Li Yuan put down his pipa and shook his sleeves.

"Remember, you can no longer call Luo Cheng directly. Yu Gong, you have to respect him as Duke of Chu or Luo Shuai, and privately, you should also call him Wulang."

Li Jiancheng has a bad face, "It's just a nouveau riche who has become powerful."

"Presumptuous, don't let my father hear such bastard words from you in the future, pack up quickly, and follow me out of the city to meet you."

"Father, he has already entered the city, and he will be in the Yamen soon."

After hearing this, Li Yuan quickly straightened his clothes, "Then follow me to the door to greet you."

As soon as he left the study, he saw Luo Cheng striding into the courtyard with a group of generals in armor, "Uncle, I heard that you are not in good health recently and you haven't gone out for many days, but let me I'm very worried. I don't know where uncle is feeling unwell?"

Brides in the Sui Dynasty often referred to their parents-in-law as uncles, while men referred to their father-in-law as uncles.

Luo Cheng is the most powerful upstart nowadays, while Li Yuan is an outdated old nobleman. Although Li Yuan betrothed his daughter to Luo Cheng, it was only as a concubine and not as a wife, so in fact he can't be regarded as Luo Cheng's uncle.

It's surprising that Luo Cheng is so enthusiastic.

"I don't want to be a little sick, but I bothered the commander in person to come to the new city. I heard that the commander has returned from the chaos. I was going to visit Xiangping."

Luo Cheng stepped forward and saluted, "You are an elder, so I should come to see you."

"You are a commander-in-chief, you should be visited by the lower officials." Li Yuan cupped his hands.

"Even if you don't care about personal gifts, you are still a senior."

The two were polite for a long time before Luo Cheng recruited Xuan Ba.

Li Xuanba paid his respects to his father, when Li Yuan found him, he wiped his eyes, and hadn't seen him for more than a year, how could this sick son be so strong.

"Father, my brother-in-law helped me adjust my body. Look at how strong I am now."

Li Yuan couldn't help but tears flashed in his eyes, it was not easy for this child to grow up, even if he tried his best to seek famous doctors, he couldn't get well. Unexpectedly, after following Luo Cheng for more than a year, his body recovered.

"Okay, okay, now that it's done, I'll stay with Dad from now on."

"Father, I am now my brother-in-law Baima Yicong's personal guard."

"Go in and sit."

Li Yuan said helplessly.

living room.

Luo Cheng left a group of brothers to drink tea, and then dragged Li Yuan to his study.

"Recently there is a rumor in Luoyang that the Li family should rule the world. Did my uncle hear that?"

Li Yuan quickly waved his hands, "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors."

Luo Cheng chuckled.

"My uncle should know that Li Hun and Li Min's nephew and uncle rebelled. The Li Mu family was uprooted. The Li Bi family also conspired against Li Mi because of their unfilial son. Now the whole family is implicated and expelled for the sake of the people." Bai Ding."

"And the Yu family..."

Li Yuan's face was ugly.

Luo Cheng finally stopped.

"Actually, Your Majesty is very concerned about this rumor, especially for Li, who is surnamed Li in the middle of the court, and who is a famous family like the Eight Pillars Country. He is very vigilant. Although my uncle is only a prefect of one place now, he is still in charge after all. In the frontier, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, and my uncle's family is also one of the eight pillar countries."

"Shicheng, Sanniang just gave birth to a fat boy for you, are you satisfied?" Li Yuan said.

"Satisfied, very satisfied, that child looks very good, I named him Zhewei."

"That's a good name." Li Yuan nodded.

"Uncle, we are two aunts, so I won't go around with you. Now, the emperor is very worried about the surname Li. Uncle, you are in a delicate situation now. Although your majesty has not yet said that you want to move You, but you can't wait for His Majesty to do something, it will be too late then, right?"

"I have been planning for you, Uncle, for a while. I think that at this juncture, you are really not suitable to continue to lead the army in Liaodong. Uncle, you might as well take the initiative to play and ask the emperor to transfer you back to Beijing. In this way, His Majesty will be relieved, right?"

"If you are willing to go back to Beijing, the six departments and nine temples, except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, the rest of the temples, where do you want to go, just tell me directly, and I will definitely help you find a way."

Li Yuan secretly looked at Luo Cheng who was opposite him.

"The Six Departments don't dare to think about it. Nine temples, five prisons and three towers, you can go to any place. To be honest, I am really not used to the weather in Liaodong. Seeing that winter is coming again, my legs are scared. It would be best to go back to Beijing."

"Then let me talk to my uncle, how about asking him to help you find a post as Minister of the Honglu Temple?"

"can."

"Well, I'll write a letter to Luo Xiang when I get back, but I have a small matter here and I want to trouble my uncle. Can you recommend a new prefect candidate to His Majesty when you resign from the prefect of Xincheng?"

"Shicheng, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Luo Cheng smiled slightly. Of course there is a new candidate for him.
