Chapter 15 The News Comes
"Oh, why did Xuanling teach me?!" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this.
Now he is in power, and the entire military power of Chang'an has fallen into his hands. Even the current emperor, his father was under house arrest by him. Now he has regarded himself as the lord of the world, so he naturally does not want chaos in the world.
"I dare not!" Fang Xuanling first bowed to Li Shimin, then glanced at everyone, and said, "Although your highness has killed the rebels Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and although they are dead, these two have always had many party members in the court and are mixed in line, including many loyal people, such as Xue Wanche who had failed to siege the Qin Palace and fled into the southern mountain, as well as Xie Shufang, Feng Li, Wei Zheng and others. If they do not appease these people, they will probably rebel again."
"Hahaha, I thought Fang Qiao, what are you afraid of?" As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin suddenly burst into laughter, "These are just some remnants of defeated soldiers, so why are you afraid?"
"Some of the defeated soldiers are indeed not worthy of fear!" At this time, Du Ruhui, who was sitting beside him, also spoke. He stood up and bowed to Li Shimin, who was sitting upright, and then said, "But if these people are connected, it must be a big force, which will cause us a lot of trouble."
"Your Highness, although we have occupied Chang'an and seized military power, don't forget the emperor in the palace, and countless generals and vassal kings outside Chang'an, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry eyeing each other in Wucheng. If you are not careful, you will be afraid of the disaster of overthrow." Du Ruhui said to Li Shimin with a serious face.
Hearing the words of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin was shocked. The passionate feeling that the palace transformation had just succeeded, suddenly seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water from the top of his head, which made Li Shimin wake up from his previous state of excitement and a little hot heart. Cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and stood up directly from the seat, bowed to the two of them, and then said solemnly, "Please teach me, two gentlemen!"
"Don't dare!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui bowed to Li Shimin and then said, "The so-called "to fight against foreign countries must first settle the internal affairs. Now your highness has controlled most of the military power in Chang'an, and the emperor is also recuperating in the palace, but this is not enough."
"What Your Highness needs to do now is not to ascend the throne immediately, but to obtain the title of righteousness first. Although Your Highness has put down the rebellion between the prince and the King of Qi, who knows it in the world?"
"The emperor thinks that your highness should enter the palace and let the emperor enthrone you as the crown prince first, and then clean up and recruit the remnants of the Eastern Palace and the King of Qi as the crown prince to appease the ministers of the court. In this way, the overall situation will be stable. Even if your highness wants to ascend the throne, he should be justified."
Hearing Du Ruhui's whispers, whether it was Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others in the palace, they suddenly realized. After listening to Du Ruhui's analysis, everyone who had been thinking of Li Shimin ascending the throne as soon as possible could not help but be afraid. Even Cheng Yaojin, who was dancing the most, pursed his lips and stopped making a sound.
"If it weren't for the reminder of the two gentlemen, I almost made a big mistake just now. Haha, it would be a great blessing for me to get the help of the two gentlemen!" Li Shimin laughed and bowed to the two of them, doing a lot of respect for the wise and the world. It can be seen that this person would kill his brother and imprison his father because he hated his elder brother for being in a high position, and do such a traitor.
However, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui accepted Li Shimin's artificiality. They would not care about how vicious or cunning Li Shimin was. As long as they could be respectful to the virtuous and powerful, they could bring them a great minister, wealth and reputation in history.
"Report to your Highness, General Hou Junji of the chariot and cavalry asked for a meeting!" When Li Shimin and others in the hall were still thinking about discussing the next move, suddenly a soldier outside the hall came in to report.
"Hou Junji, what are he doing at this time? Didn't I let him guard the Tai Chi Palace Gate?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard the soldiers' notice, but he still said, "Let him come in!"
After a while, a tall figure outside the hall hurried in. Before Li Shimin could ask Hou Junji why he left his post without permission, he saw Hou Junji come to the hall and kneel down half-kneel, clasping his fists with a gloomy face, "I will meet your highness!"
Seeing Hou Junji's appearance, Li Shimin felt a little uneasy.
Not only because Hou Junji came in and gave him a big gift directly, under normal circumstances, the Tang Dynasty did not promote such etiquette, but also was close at hand. Li Shimin could see that Hou Junji's face was pale and his face was extremely gloomy. He was not as energetic as they had just succeeded in the palace. He frowned and then said, "No need to be too polite, Hou Junji, you are here to find me now, but what happened?"
However, he saw that Hou Junji did not get up from the ground, but still knelt on the ground. This made Li Shimin feel that the situation was unusual. Then he saw Hou Junji, "Go back to your highness, I have something to report to your highness. His Highness had sent a dog son to arrest Li Jiancheng's concubine Zheng Guanyin and his son Prince Runan outside the city, but someone just fled back and said that the dog son had been involved in those defiance tricks and had been wiped out. He also asked his Highness to allow Mo to lead his troops to clean up and avenge the dog son!"
"What?!!!!" Li Shimin couldn't help but stare at the shock when he heard Hou Junji's words, and stood up suddenly, "You said that Zheng Guanyin and the Prince of Runan escaped? All the people sent to capture them were wiped out?"
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji in disbelief. You must know that Li Shimin was still very concerned about Li Jiancheng's crown princess Zheng Guanyin and his only offender who was not in the residence.
After killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and besieging the Prince's Mansion and the Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Shimin immediately asked someone to count the people in the Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Qi's Mansion. When he found out that the Prince's Concubine and the Prince of Runan happened to go to Nanshan to burn incense today, he immediately sent dozens of elite soldiers to rob and kill them.
Later, after completely pacifying Chang'an, Li Shimin remembered this incident again and found that the dozens of elite soldiers he sent had not replied. In order not to let the Crown Princess escape with the Prince of Runan, he ordered Hou Guangliang, the son of Hou Junji, to bring two hundred elite soldiers to reinforce, and do not necessarily bring Zheng Guanyin and Li Chengming back.
I originally thought that Zheng Guanyin was just going to Nanshan to sautumn, and the East Palace Guards she brought were only dozens of people. She sent so many people over, so she must have been able to capture it.
However, what I didn't expect was such a news.
