Chapter 460: The Old Party Rebellion
The Son of Heaven was angry and bled for thousands of miles.
Li Shimin just put Cui Tong and others in prison and confiscated their grain shops.
But this method alone has made those powerful families who have raised prices see Li Shimin's cruelty in the face of the enemy.
Anyone who opposes him is an enemy.
Therefore, at the same time as Gao Shilian opened the warehouse to reduce the price, other powerful families also opened the warehouse to reduce the price.
They knew that if they didn't, they would become a second Cui family.
Perhaps, Li Shimin will not interfere with the price of their grain, but from other places, it will not be easy for Li Shimin to deal with them?
The price of grain in Chang'an has finally returned to normal, and it has even decreased a little compared to before, and the grain has always been around.
Seeing that it had an effect, the household department naturally began to purchase grain and grass, and then shipped it to Lingzhou.
On the Cui family's side, Li Shimin didn't really mean to kill them, Cui Tong and others were released after being locked up in the prison for a while, but the confiscated grain and grass were not returned.
Chang'an gradually returned to calm, and the midsummer came to an end.
It's just that at this time, Luoyang suddenly came with very bad news.
In the early days of the day, at the beginning, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up.
"Shengshang, Luoyang Assassin Shi Zhang Danian sent an urgent report, saying that Li Jiancheng's old party Li Yiyu took advantage of the Yellow River Valley break, the people were displaced, and they were hungry, so they took the opportunity to gather a large number of refugees and rebelled at the border of Luoyang, and now there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and even they have occupied some small county towns, and are now besieging Luoyang City."
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, all the ministers were shocked, especially those who were Li Jiancheng before, and now they suddenly felt a panic.
Although it was not them who rebelled, if Li Shimin became angry with Li Jiancheng's old party because of this, they would probably not have a good time.
At this time, Li Shimin's eyebrows were solemn, and he shouted: "This Li Yiyu, the court has never found his whereabouts, I didn't expect him to hide in Luoyang, and he dared to rebel." ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Didn't the imperial court already send grain and grass down to help those people, why would those people still rebel?" ”
In Li Shimin's view, whether it is in troubled times or peaceful times, the only reason why the people rebel is that they can't eat enough and can't live happily.
"Holy Lord, the grain and grass sent out were robbed by a group of bandits on the way."
"What?" Li Shimin was shocked, when there was chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were bandits and robbers everywhere, but he thought that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, especially after the other princes were destroyed by them in the past few years, there should be very few robbers in the Tang Dynasty.
"It's really bold, what kind of robber robbed me of the Tang disaster relief grain?"
"On the way to Luoyang, there is a Fengluo Mountain, there is a man and a woman on the Fengluo Mountain, the male is called Luo Huang, the female is called Luo Feng, their brother and sister occupy the mountain as the king, gathered thousands of minions, and specialized in doing some things to rob the house, it is they who robbed our Datang disaster relief grain."
Hearing that more than a thousand little thieves were against the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was immediately angry.
"On the contrary, these people have rebelled, and I will destroy them."
At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Holy Lord, it is imperative that you send people to exterminate the bandits as soon as possible, and after recovering the grain, you should put down Li Yiyu's rebels." ”
Two rebels in a row are against Datang, and if they are not destroyed, I am afraid that there will be more rebels in Datang, after all, Li Shimin has just ascended the throne at this time.
If you don't do something, everyone else thinks he's a bully.
Therefore, after hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to lead the troops and exterminate the traitors?" ”
After speaking, Cheng Yanjin suddenly stood up and said, "Holy Lord, the last general is willing to lead the troops to exterminate those traitors." ”
Cheng Yanjin likes to fight the most, and he also likes to grab credit the most, in his opinion, he is just some little thieves, such credit should not be in vain.
Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth, Li Shimin felt that he could also do this, and seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was very motivated, he nodded: "Since Lu Guogong is willing to lead the troops, then I will order you to be the general of the thieves and lead the troops to eliminate the thieves." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Holy Lord gave to his ministers?" ”
Li Shimin said: "The war in Lingzhou has taken away a lot of my strong soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and here in the capital, there are still some guards left, and what I can allocate to you is only 3,000 soldiers and horses." ”
"Three thousand soldiers?" As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard this number, he immediately became a little furious, Li Yiyu has 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can he fight with him with 3,000 soldiers and horses?
And there are also Luo Huang and Luo Feng's brothers and sisters in Fengluo Mountain, isn't this embarrassing for him?
Cheng Yanjin regretted a little rashly asking for his life, he knew this way and didn't come out if he killed himself, but now that he has received his order, he can't retreat, the military order is like a mountain, and if he dares to retreat, he is looking for death.
The people next to him looked at Cheng Yanjin and smiled, quite proud, because they also wanted to lead the troops at the beginning, who knew that they were preempted by Cheng Yanjin, but they found that the imperial court only gave 3,000 soldiers and horses, so they gloated.
"Laugh at what laugh." Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes, but the others laughed more and more happily.
"Lu Guogong is my Tang Dynasty general, and there are a lot of 3,000 soldiers and horses."
"That is, three thousand soldiers and horses, under the hands of Lu Guogong, that is equivalent to having thousands of troops and horses, so the traitors will all be swept away."
“…………”
Everyone is still making fun of Cheng biting gold, and for a while, Cheng biting gold has a seizure, and it is not a seizure.
The court was a little chaotic, Cheng bit the golden eyeballs, and then stood up: "Shengshang, this errand is the end general, but I hope the saint can allocate it to the last general." ”
Three thousand soldiers and horses to suppress thieves is indeed a little difficult Cheng bites gold, Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Who do you want?" ”
"Just Qin Tian's kid, let him go with the minister."
Hearing that Cheng Yanjin wanted Qin Tian to follow, everyone suddenly stopped laughing, Li Shimin's side, thought about it for a while, but quickly nodded: "Okay, let him follow you, but remember, for the robbers on Fengluo Mountain who robbed the imperial court for disaster relief, I want you not to be soft and kill them for me, as for Li Yiyu's rebels, if they are willing to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, I will not blame the past." ”
Li Shimin needs iron-blooded means, but at the same time, he must be gentle, if he can persuade him to surrender, he will try to persuade him to surrender, which is the most beneficial for Datang.
In other words, what he needs most now is the stability of Datang.
Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Shimin agreed to let Qin Tian follow, so he was naturally very happy, and hurriedly responded.
(It seems that there are two Zhang Danian...) )
