Xijing, Taiji Palace.
Early morning on the first day of November.
This day is the day of the pilgrimage set by Li Yuan.
Officials below the third grade and above the seventh grade in the capital must participate.
The sky was dark and unbright, thousands of palaces blended into the night, hundreds of officials, dressed in official robes, holding banwat in their hands, from the long corridor under the dripping eaves straight into the Taiji Palace.
Li Yuan was dressed in a dragon robe on top of the main hall, and after accepting the worship of the hundred officials, he sat on the dragon chair, and the ministers were all standing aside.
The head of the palace stepped forward and shouted: "If you have something to do with the morning play, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat!" ”
I saw that Liu Wenjing stepped forward and said: "The minister has a play, and the imperial history heard that His Majesty often eats and sits with the minister, which is contrary to common sense, and please be cautious." ”
Liu Wen said quietly, and all the officials couldn't help but raise their heads slightly, and they all looked at the right servant of Shangshu Province who was standing in the forefront.
Pei Lin has always been valued by Li Yuan, and he is often left in the palace, Liu Wenjing's words, of course, mean Pei Lian.
All the ministers know that after Jinyang raised troops, Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, and Pei Lin were all heroes of Yuanmou, and no matter what crime they committed, they could be forgiven for two deaths.
But since Li Yuan became emperor, of course, the contradictions between Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin have become more and more intense, and the dispute between the two has reached the surface.
Li Yuan smiled and said disapprovingly: "Liu Aiqing, it's too lenient." ”
Liu Wenjing said: "The minister doesn't think so, the Son of Heaven is in the billions of trillions, and the land is not a minister." If the noble and the lowly are out of place, what is the way of the Yinyang monarch and the minister, just like the sun looking down on all things, so that the masses can shine up! ”
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The sun is looking down on all things, so how can the masses shine up." This is the words of the king's guide. Does Liu Aiqing want to teach me the things of the ancients? But when Han Guangwu slept with Yan Ziling, Yan Ziling was added to the emperor's abdomen. The Son of Heaven could not bear to reprimand him. Pei Aiqing and Liu Aiqing are both my former ministers in Jinyang. I never dare to forget it, Liu Aiqing, don't be suspicious of it. ”
Liu Wenjing heard that Li Yuan had made up his mind to protect Pei Lian, and was even more angry with Pei Lin at the moment, but he couldn't refute Li Yuan's words on his face, so he could only retreat.
At this time, Pei said quietly: "The minister also has a book!" Now that a new dynasty has been established, it is to seek a new one, such as Nong Wangqiu. In the old dynasty, Daxing County was the capital division, and Chang'an County was the county of Jingzhao County. At present, His Majesty is reforming the old and the new. Jingzhao County was changed to Yongzhou, and Daxing County was changed to Wannian County, and Chang'an County was still called Chang'an, so it was called Wannian Chang'an. ”
"Ten thousand years of Chang'an, ten thousand years of Chang'an, good! You can say that again! Li Yuan slapped the table, and Long Yan was happy.
Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "To get rid of the disadvantages of the old dynasty, I will start from the feet of the Son of Heaven, not just change it. As you said, Daxing County will be more Wannian County, and this Daxing City will also be restored to its old name Chang'an, which means long-term peace and stability. Chang'an County and Wannian County are bounded by the Imperial City Zhuque Street. The 54th square west of the street belongs to Chang'an County, and the 54th square of the east of the street belongs to Wannian County. ”
Hearing Li Yuan say this, Pei Lin and the ministers congratulated together.
Li Yuan laughed and said, "This is a grand event. I would like to congratulate all Aiqing. ”
Pei Lin saw Li Yuanlong's face and was happy, and smiled and glanced at Liu Wenjing. Retreat into the train. Liu Wenjing secretly gritted her teeth and scolded in her heart. Sycophants.
"The minister has his own music!" Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department, stepped forward and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw a group of festivities in the main hall.
"Read!"
"Yesterday, the Ministry of War reported that after the loss of Jinyang City to Li Chongjiu in Youzhou last month, Li Chongjiu did not stop, broke Pingyao on the 15th, broke Jiexiu on the 19th, and Zhang Lun, the deputy head of the Taiyuan Road March, was defeated in three battles, and now he has to retire to Xicheng."
"What Zhang Lun has been defeated?" The ministers couldn't help but discuss, after Zhang Lun raised troops in Jinyang, he broke the three counties of Lishi, Longquan and Wencheng for Li Tanglian, and expanded the territory, and his merits were second only to Li Zhiwan, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and other generals, and now he is also defeated in consecutive battles under Li Chongjiu.
After hearing this, the ministers didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and then the ministers went to the book one after another.
"Yushitai has a play, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was impeached, Yin Kaishan, the head of the Taiyuan Road march, fled without a fight, and the guide zhì Jinyang was lost!"
"Zhongshu Province received a letter from Yin Kaishan, the head of the Taiyuan Road March, to defend himself, saying that the thief is huge, and the whole army can be avoided for the time being! Yin Kaishan has another book, and Li Siqi and others under the curtain of the king of Qi are greedy for merit and war, and they are guilty of instigation. ”
"The minister has this music, in two months, the Hengshan thief Zhao Wanhai gathered tens of thousands, and the Li thief echoed to attack Jingcheng, Princess Pingyang and her 30,000 children, the enemy on the back, we have not heard from it for ten days."
"The minister has this music, last month Lu Chongmao of Xia County proclaimed himself the King of Wei and occupied Xia County to cause trouble!"
"Yesterday's Jiangzhou disease report, Li Chongjiu's army forward cavalry, Da wash Fenzhou, now its scouts have entered Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou governor Xiangwu King Li Chen is in a hurry, saying that after a few days, the fifteen states in Hedong will no longer be owned by me."
After several people finished playing together, the hall was deserted.
On the dragon chair, Li Yuan raised his face and said: "You guys are colluding, why don't you say it if you come to sweep away the interest of me today, is it that Li Chongjiu will cross the river tomorrow, and he will hit the feet of this Jingshi the day after tomorrow, why don't you say it." ”
The important ministers were silent, and then Zhao Cijing said in the foreword: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the current merger of states, Shizhou, and Xizhou has been lost, Xia County Lu Chongmao is self-reliant, Hedong Yaojun is still there, the thief is so powerful, it is difficult to compete with the front, and the minister thinks that it is appropriate to abandon the east of the river and guard the Guanxi." ”
At this time, another minister stepped forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" Li Chongjiu has the help of some horses, and the soldiers are unstoppable, and now the situation in Hedong is so rotten that if he sends troops to cross the river again, he will only lose everything. Xue Ju in Longxi and Hexi, Li Liang is our confidant. ”
After the two finished speaking, five or six ministers stepped forward, holding the banwat and hanging their heads, and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Several ministers spoke, and suddenly there was silence in the hall.
Li Yuan didn't speak, and after listening to the words of these people, he paced in front of the dragon chair with his hands.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng was like a puppet, and he didn't make a sound, and the rest of the ministers didn't dare to speak, observing the expressions of the others left and right.
The Tang Dynasty has only been established for three months, and the land east of the river is almost swept away by Li Chongjiu. This time, even Guanzhong was shaken.
"Erchen thinks that Hedong cannot be abandoned!"
At this moment, a voice came out, and there was a loud sound. Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that it was indeed Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
Li Shimin had just rushed back to Chang'an three days ago, and in the previous two battles in the shallow water plain, the Tang army commanded by Li Shimin was defeated first and then won, and it was extremely difficult to defeat Xue Ju's father and son.
When Li Shimin was about to take advantage of the situation to raise troops to clean up the two in one fell swoop, there was news in the army that Jinyang had fallen, and King Qi and Yin had fled from the mountain. Li Yuan ordered him to quickly transfer his troops back to Chang'an, so Li Shimin could only give up the victory he almost had and lead his army back.
At present, all the ministers are afraid of Li Chongjiu's soldiers, and they are all about to give up Hedong, and Li Shimin can no longer bear it.
Li Shimin immediately came out of class and said loudly: "Father, the foundation of Taiyuan Wangye, the foundation of the country, Hedong is solid, and Jingyi is capitalized." If he abandons it, the minister will be resentful. Erchen is willing to fake 30,000 elite soldiers, lead the army to cross the river, destroy Li Chongjiu, and restore Fen and Jin! ”
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "King Qin, are you sure?" ”
Li Shimin said: "Although Taiyuan was defeated and Jinyang was lost, the third sister, the fourth brother, and Yin Kaishan's military strength were not greatly damaged, and Li Chongjiu held his own soldiers, and the light soldiers were rash, far away from the grain road. ”
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Yuan couldn't help but pinch his beard and nodded.
And Liu Wenjing and others also made a list of words: "The ministers think that King Qin's opinion is feasible. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
At that moment, more than thirty ministers knelt down in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan flicked his sleeve robe and said: "I have made up my mind, and I will personally conquer Jinyang." ”
When the ministers heard this, they were in an uproar, originally thinking that Li Yuan would not move lightly when he was in Chang'an, so even if Taiyuan was in trouble, he only sent Li Shimin to go on the expedition, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to decide to conquer in person.
The ministers had to say more, Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, Li Chongjiu's son should not be underestimated, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi, and Gao Kaidao are not his opponents. ”
"Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Yun, the governor of Shaanzhou, and Tang Jian, the servant of the internal history, listen to the order of the four of you, lead the army to attack Xia County, and get rid of the troubles first."
"No!" The four ministers were listed together to receive the order.
"Tunwei General Wang Xingmin obeys orders, you lead the army to Luzhou to help Luzhou assassin Guo Ziwu to hold Luzhou, Shangdang Hedong is like the surface of the state, sue the king of Qi, Yin Kaishan, the gains and losses of Jinyang, I don't care about it for the time being, but if it is defeated again, the two crimes will be punished together!"
"The last general commands!" Wang Xingmin replied loudly.
"The governor of Lingpu and Jiangzhou, Li Chen, the king of Xiangwu, is the governor of Xizhou, and the deputy governor of the Taiyuan Road march, Zhang Lun, the Duke of Xihe, will defend Jiangzhou together, and there can be no loss, my army will be able to arrive within 20 days, and if it is lost outside the 20 days, I can exempt them from responsibility."
"Li Shimin, King of Qin!"
"Erchen is here!" Li Shimin said loudly.
Li Yuan said with a negative hand: "I add you as a lieutenant, an envoy, and a great Taishang book in eastern Shaanxi, and the commanders of Pu, Shaanxi, and Hebei are all subject to their moderation, and you can lead 30,000 elite soldiers to cross the river from Puban, and the governor's three-way army will counterattack Taiyuan County and capture Li Chongjiu for me, understand!" ”
Li Shimin showed an incredulous look when he heard this, but Li Jiancheng's face on the side changed dramatically.
What is the position of Taiwei, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong are one of the three dukes, although it is a false title, but it is the pole of Wenchen.
What's more, Li Shimin is now the king of Qin, and no matter the official position of the prince, he is the top of the ministers, and then Li Yuan has no other rewards to add except for giving the throne to Li Shimin.
Now Li Yuan has given half of the Tang Dynasty's military power to Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng himself is inferior to his younger brother except for the name of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"The son has thanked his father, and he will do his best for the Tang Dynasty and die."
Li Shimin's words echoed above the main hall.
