【Chapter 327】 Chase the eunuchs and rectify the dynasty

The dawn is dawning, and the morning fog is misty.

The sky brightened, and the eastern sky rose with ten thousand rays of light, and it was another sunny day.

Chang'an City, the west gate is wide open.

"Click!"

Facing the rising sun, 35,000 Wuwei soldiers lined up in a neat column and slowly entered the city.

Li Xuan, Li Ru, Dian Wei, Teng Yu, Tatar and Zhang Liao rode their horses at the forefront of the army, their expressions natural and gentle, smiling at the people on the streets along the way. After entering the city, they did not stop, and they did not even stop when they passed by the Longxiang Li Mansion, and the army of more than 30,000 marched straight to the palace.

Half an hour later, the east gate of the imperial city.

"The last general Guo Meng (Li Meng, Wang Fang) see the county and the generals!" At the east gate of the inner city, that is, the main gate of the palace, Guo Meng, Li Meng and Wang Fang had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Li Xuan and the others coming, the three of them hurriedly greeted them and bowed.

"Hehehe!" Li Xuan smiled heartily, turned over and dismounted, quickly helped Guo Meng and the other three people, and said with a smile: "I waited too late, so the three generals have been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Meng stood in front of Guo Meng and Wang Fang, and after hearing the words, he said respectfully: "Lord Juncheng is serious, how can we not do our best due to our duties." ”

After Li Xuan smiled and bowed, Li Meng continued: "Lord Juncheng, everything in the palace is as before, I don't know what the lord will send to the three of us?" ”

Li Xuan said with a solemn expression when he heard this: "According to the order of the lord general, the three of you are responsible for assisting Teng Yu and the two generals of Tatar Lu to collect the soldiers and horses of each battalion, and the palace will be temporarily taken over by the commander of Dian Wei, and General Zhang Liao will be responsible for guarding the city!" As for the specific positions of the three of you, it will be necessary to wait for the reorganization of the whole army in three days, and then the lord will personally appoint them. What do the three generals think? ”

"No, I'll take the order!" Li Meng, Guo Meng, and Wang Fang bowed in response.

"Good. So I'll go into the city! Seeing that Li Meng and the other three generals had no objections, Li Xuan didn't say much, raised his hand and waved his hand, and ordered the army to enter the inner city of the palace.

Subsequently, Li Xuan was ordered to take over the administrative affairs of Chang'an City, and he did not encounter any obstacles, and the Shuzuo officials in the Xiliang Army were very cooperative with his actions. Deliver the money, grain, and treasury account books, check the weapons and ordnance, as well as the soldiers and civilians of the states of the world and the rosters of the existing officials in Chang'an City. In addition, the books of taxes, soldiers, and officials in all the states of the world have been sealed. As in the Wang Yun period, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were not interested in these inconsequential things since they entered the city for more than a month, so they did not move at all.

The handover of government affairs has been smooth, and the military affairs have also been extremely smooth. Teng Yu and Tatar led 20,000 Wuwei iron cavalry, with the assistance of Guo Meng, Li Meng and Wang Fang. Acting separately, they ran through the five barracks of the Xiliang Army in one morning. In total, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses were gathered. The remaining 90,000 soldiers were all those who did not flee the battlefield in the southern suburbs. They all had three days off and did not return to the barracks until the fourth day.

Like Teng Yu and Tatarus, Zhang Liao was in charge of taking over the city more smoothly. The 10,000 defenders in the city were all Li Dao's descendants, and when Li Dao closed the door to thank the guests, all the 10,000 soldiers and horses withdrew from the city gate and belonged to Teng Yu and Tatar Lu for the time being. And so on. Zhang Liao directly led his troops to the city tower and took over the defense of the city gates.

Compared with taking over the military and political affairs of Xiliang, it is extremely difficult for Dian Wei to lead 5,000 war cavalry to take over the palace. The huge palace was in chaos, and thousands of eunuchs and palace maids were hiding everywhere. Some people took the opportunity to steal the palace property, and some people forcibly robbed the palace maids and concubines of gold and silver jewelry and money, as if the palace was a place for them to make a fortune while they were in chaos. In addition, there are a large number of old ministers and ministers of the former dynasty in the palace, and these people are not good things, so they take the opportunity to carry the utensils in the palace on a large scale, and even use horse-drawn carriages to transport them to their respective mansions. It's simply a blatant robbery of the palace, lawlessness, and recklessness.

For these robbers, Dian Wei was not merciless, and directly led the cavalry to kill. After killing the servants, Dian Wei also found out the masters of these people, whether they were the three princes and nine kings or the old ministers of the former dynasty, and they were all escorted to the noon gate to behead the public. In just one morning, more than 1,000 people were killed by Dian Wei, including hundreds of officials. In the entire palace, it can be said that there is no stopping killing and blood.

————————————————

Near noon, the order of Chang'an City gradually returned to normal, and the figures of Wuwei soldiers could be seen everywhere on the street.

At the west gate, Li Li rode the Golden Lion Beast King into the city without hurrying.

Behind him, Li Zhi led more than 4,000 Jinqi Guard cavalry into the city, followed by Li Li and stopped in front of the Li Mansion of Longxiang.

Stopping in front of the mansion gate, looking at the dilapidated Longxiang Li Mansion, Li Li frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed under his eyes. Then he said in a deep voice: "Li Zhi, let people repair the mansion, it must be cleaned up within half a month, and another five hundred armor soldiers will be sent to guard the mansion." After all, this is my Li Li's mansion, and I will come back to live for a while in my spare time. ”

"No!" Li Zhi replied respectfully. He immediately instructed a junior colonel to handle the matter, and left 500 armor soldiers to guard the mansion.

Zuihou glanced at the mansion where he once lived, Li Li snorted lightly, and drove the Golden Lion Beast King straight to the palace.

At noon, Li Li took Jin Yiwei into Changle Palace.

In the main hall, Li Li walked up to the high platform, casually touched the high dragon case and the golden dragon chair, as well as the Taishi chair placed in the right corner. Immediately, he waved his hand and motioned to his soldiers to move the Taishi chair to the center of the main hall at the bottom of the stairs, and sat down with it.

At this time, only Dian Wei and Li Zhi stood in the center of the main hall, looking at Li Li who was sitting under the high platform of the dragon case in disbelief.

"What kind of expressions are you two, don't I deserve to sit in the Taishi chair?" Li Li groaned with a smile.

Dian Weihan said with a smile: "The Lord has said it. In the eyes of the last general, the lord should sit high on the dragon court this time, but why did the lord move the Taishi chair to the bottom of the hall? ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed a few times and said with feeling: "This Taishi chair has an extraordinary origin!" In the past, Dong Xiangguo was ordered to build this chair, placed it under the dragon chair, and placed it on the court, so as to show his prominent status and deter the world. It's a pity that this Taishi chair is above the three princes and nine kings, not only did it fail to make Dong Xiangguo's prestige more prestigious, but it prompted the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to hate the same enemy and be angry, and regarded Dong Xiangguo as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. I want to get rid of it and then quickly. As a result, Dong Xiangguo died outside the Zhengyang Gate, and Wang Yun took his place and sat on the Taishi chair again.

Unexpectedly, although Wang Yun was a scholar, he was extremely murderous, and after taking power, he didn't know how to appease the Xiliang generals, but killed them all. Hehehe! In the imperial court's wanted edict, I Li Li was regarded as the leader of the traitors, announced to the world, and offered a reward for arrest and killing? If Wang Yun hadn't forced me too much, I'm afraid he would have been able to sit on this Taishi chair for a longer time. You can sit for at least a few months.

Nowadays, things are not people. Wang Yun has been dead for a long time, and Dong Xiangguo has also become dung, but this Taishi chair is still intact. It is enough to have a dragon chair above the court, and since the Son of Heaven sits in the court, he reigns in the world. Make a Taishi chair and place it under the dragon chair. Isn't it nondescript and self-defeating? It's a pity that Dong Zhuo likes to show off. Wang Yungu has a reputation for fishing. These two people have lived all their lives, but they can't see through people's hearts, can't see through their fame, and finally can't die well.

A Taishi chair wiped out the two heroes. In my opinion, these two people who are in power and the opposition are both people who are in a state of limbo. Stupid! In the court, there is a dragon chair of the Son of Heaven, why add another Taishi chair, it is simply a superfluous move. If Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun both have a heart of disobedience. Then he will be in charge of the world, level Kyushu, and abolish the Han immediately, why do you need to behave so coyly! If these two people have no different intentions, how can there be no place for the two of them in the great hall, why should they be in the public target?

Now, this Taishi chair makes the princes of the world salivate, ready to move, and they all want to replace it and take charge of the world. So I will sit down today, move it out later, find someone who often steals and sells the utensils in the palace, and sell it to the shop in Yuan Shao's name for 500 gold. Since we want to return the government to the Son of Heaven, then put on a correct posture, and no longer add a Taishi chair to the court, just have a dragon chair. ”

Li Li's words echoed in the empty hall, and the aftermath was lingering.

Immediately, I saw Li Zhi calmly come out with a sentence: "Only the lord can sit on the dragon chair, and the others sit on it, they are all self-defeating and self-defeating!" ”

"Huh?" Li Li groaned in astonishment, and said sharply: "Presumptuous! The world is not peaceful, the heroes are everywhere, I don't even want to sit on the Taishi chair, what do you want the dragon chair to do?

What is deserved? Without the strength to dominate the world, what's the use of coveting fame! Li Zhi, this kind of rebellious words must not be said again in the future, otherwise it will inevitably be criticized and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"No!" Li Zhi's expression was indifferent, and he accepted Li Li's rebuke calmly and was unmoved.

"Dian Wei listens to orders!" Li Li looked at Li Zhi's disapproving look, shook his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice.

Dian Wei moved in response: "The last general will be dispatched by the lord, please make it public." ”

"Clean up all parts of the palace immediately, leave no dead ends, and complete it within two days. Count the number of eunuchs, palace maids and concubines in the palace, only one hundred eunuchs and one hundred palace maids are left in the palace, the eunuchs are expelled, and the maids and palace concubines are all handed over to six ladies to take over! Li Li ordered in a deep voice with a solemn face.

"No, I'll do it right away!" Dian Wei happily took the order.

"Hmm." Li Li bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "At present, there is a shortage of food in all counties and counties of Xiliang, and there are displaced people everywhere, and there is no extra food to support these eunuchs, maids and palace concubines. In addition, the officials who robbed the palace property before were all raided from their homes, and their wives and concubines and children were assigned to live as slaves, and they could only recover their commoners after ten years.

In addition, Li Xuan and Li Ru were ordered to bring the official book and the reward list, and Teng Yu and Tatar led all the soldiers and horses to wait for dispatch. All servants in the Three Dukes' Mansion shall not exceed 300 people, 100 maids, 100 servants and 50 maids in the Jiuqing Mansion, and other officials at all levels, servants and maids in the palace shall not exceed 100. The servants and maids in the palace of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not allowed to violate the number of people stipulated in the imperial court decrees, and if there is one more, a fine will be confiscated, and those who refuse to pay will be removed from their official positions and exiled from their homes! The mansions of the generals in the army were put on hold for the time being, and the decrees were promulgated, ordering them to rectify themselves, and those who refused to carry out the decrees were severely punished! According to the reward list recorded by the imperial court, the fertile fields under the names of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were counted in the two states of Xiliang, and the other states were not counted. Those who dare to falsely report and conceal or resist orders will have all their property confiscated, dismissed from office, and demoted to concubines; Those who dare to resist the troublemakers will be exiled from their homes and served five years of hard labor! This move is related to the discipline of the imperial court, the rise and fall of Xiliang, and the investigation must be completed within a month, and then strengthen supervision and strict implementation, no matter who dares to resist the order, all of them will be exiled! ”

After Dian Wei heard this, his heart was shocked, and he promised loudly: "The last general will immediately convey the order of the lord!" ”

Li Li immediately shook his head and corrected: "No, this is not my general order, but a court decree!" There are no rules, and the officials keep saying that they are prosperous, but in fact they are insatiable and fill their pockets. Now we will implement it in accordance with the decree of the imperial court, with reason and evidence, salute first and then soldiers, and start the inventory of the personnel and property of the mansion of the three dukes and nine qing. With such a top-down rectification of the dynasty, I believe that no one dares to say that I, Li Li, have corrupted the program and discipline, and the etiquette has collapsed. Even if officials still criticize behind their backs, the people of the world can clearly see who is right and who is wrong. The will of the people cannot be bullied, and the will of the people cannot be violated! Once this law is enforced, there will inevitably be many rebels, but these are harmless. It is imperative to purge the rule of officials. After the rectification of Chang'an City was completed, the Son of Heaven issued an edict ordering Xiliang and the two states to rectify the discipline. All the confiscated money and grain will be used to comfort the people and resettle the displaced people, so after two years, the counties and counties of Xiliang will inevitably be invigorated, and the two prefectures of Xiliang will gradually become stronger! ”
