Chapter 261 Li Shimin was demoted to a commoner(1/2)

In the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, Li Yuan looked at Li Yuan with a heavy face and said, "Is there any doubt?"

Li Yuanji bowed and said, "Father, it's true that all the arrested dead soldiers have confessed. Now Zhang Liang is left, and I won't reveal the truth yet.

Li Yuan pondered: "Tomorrow, Zhang Liang will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial."

Li Yuanji opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Dad, you are too partial!"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Yuanji and said slightly unhappy: "Deposing a prince is no longer a family matter."

Li Yuanji quickly bowed and bowed to cover up his joy.

At this moment, the left-level guard general Yu Yanzhang came slowly.

Looking at Yu Yanzhang, Li Yuan roared furiously: "It's all waste, it's all waste... The Qin King secretly mobilized thousands of dead soldiers to enter Chang'an and couldn't find out such a big thing. What's the use of you?"

"I am guilty!" Yu Yanzhang's face turned pale and red, and he lowered his head and was silent, and he stopped saying a word.

Li Yuanji said lightly: "Dad, don't you think about it. Now there are many old Wagang subordinates in the twelve guards. After Li Mi's death, most of the Wagang soldiers surrendered to the King of Qin. They controlled the twelve guards, controlled Chang'an Kong, and let thousands of people into the city. What is the big deal?"

It would be fine if Li Yuanji didn't say this, but when he mentioned this, Li Yuan's face became even more gloomy and he said with anger, "Come on!"

The Central General Attorney Chen Qi quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan shook his sleeves and said coldly: "Go and get the white flag and yellow axe!"

Chen Qi did not dare to be negligent and ran out of the hall with small steps. It didn't take long for Chen Qi to return. However, at this time, the little eunuch behind him was carrying white flags and yellow axes.

Li Yuan pointed at Li Yuanji and said, "Three Hu, I will give you white flags and yellow axes to be fully responsible for thorough investigation of this matter. You need to call troops and horses. You can directly call Yuan Cong Imperial Guard without going through Tiance Prefecture and the Ministry of War!"

Li Yuanji's eyes were flashing with joy, and he quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, my son will investigate it to the end and find out the bottom of the water!"

Just after Li Yuanji left and after the curtain was put on, Pei Ji slowly walked out.

Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, has always been casual and reckless. Will this matter be spread through rumors? The King of Qin secretly mobilized dead soldiers to Chang'an, which is really incredible!"

Li Yuan pointed to the letter in his hand and said, "It's impossible to be wrong. The leader is Zhang Liang from Tiance Mansion. Except for Zhang Liang, most of the other dead soldiers admitted it, but they can't be wrong..."

Pei Ji glanced at the letter, and there were hundreds of people who confessed their names and confessions on it. I am afraid that this could not be easily fabricated. Pei Ji said with shock: "If this is the case, in order to avoid the sudden attack of the King of Qin, you must prepare early!"

Li Yuan said: "Pei San, go and call Dou Dan over, and... and... Chen Ying!"

"Chen Ying?" Pei Ji hesitated for a moment. Li Yuan was very afraid of Chen Ying, but at this time he actually handed over the heavy responsibility to him. This made Pei Ji very doubt whether he had hallucinations. Pei Ji asked carefully again: "Your Majesty, do you really want to summon Chen Ying into the palace?"

How could Li Yuan not hear Pei Ji’s worries and concerns?

The key is that no one is available to him at this time.

As Li Yuanji said, Li Shimin has used Wagang Army generals to infiltrate the twelve guards in recent years and control a large number of key departments. Li Jiancheng has always restrained his military power because he is worried about being afraid of Li Yuan. Although Li Jiancheng has generals such as Li Shiji, Chen Ying, and Xue Wanche, most of these generals are outside and cannot affect Chang'an City.

At present, the general who can have prestige in the army and can subdue the powerful generals of the twelve guards, can't find anyone else except Chen Ying. After all, the army is not a place where people can surrender with just one order. Without real prestige and record, it is not easy for generals who have arrived in the air to master the army.

He was worried about letting the prince come forward. After thinking about it, Li Yuan felt most relieved. After all, Chen Ying was not even willing to be an official, and he would rather give his money to the Andong farm. This shows that Chen Ying was really tired of the struggles in the court.

Li Yuan is such a person. He thinks he is the emperor, the son of heaven, and the master of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is power or status, no matter who he is willing to give, he must accept it even if you don’t accept it.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said to Pei Ji: "Sanniang is ill. You have hidden these things from Sanniang. You have passed on my oral instructions, and ordered Chen Yingli to take over as the General of the Zuowu Guard, and immediately accept the defense of Zhuchengmen and Zhufangwu Guard!"

The generals of the twelve guards actually performed their own duties. The Wuhou Guard controlled the palace ban and the security and defense work around Chang'an City. In terms of its functions, they were roughly equivalent to the commander of the later capital military region.

Pei Ji nodded and said, "Old minister will go here!"

...

Just as dawn in the Qinglin, Chen Ying and Li Xiuning got up early. In order to increase Li Xiuning's physique, Chen Ying accompanied Li Xiuning to practice ten-duanjin. However, when he just started to warm up, He Yueer quickly walked to Li Xiuning and said, "Princess, Pei Xiangguo is here and has arrived at Ximingmen. It is less than a quarter of an hour away!"

Li Xiuning complained: "Is there still a end? The prince is gone, the king of Qi is here, the king of Qi is gone, and the prime minister Pei is here..."

Chen Ying stepped forward and hugged Li Xiuning's shoulder and comforted him: "Sanniang, let Yue'er tell Pei Xiangguo that you have not gotten up yet, so I will deal with Pei Xiangguo. Anyway, he, a prime minister who is busy with a lot of things, will never stay in the Qinglin for a day!"

Li Xiuning nodded. It was nothing to put on makeup, but it felt very bad to pretend to be dead. Every time, Li Xiuning felt like she was really going to die.

Li Xiuning nodded.

Chen Ying then changed into casual clothes, took Guo Luo, Zhou Qing and Asunasmo, opened the middle gate of Chenjiabao to welcome Pei Ji.

Soon after, Pei Ji's carriage slowly came to the front of Chenjiabao Gate. More than a dozen Yuan followers ran out from behind the carriage, arrived at the gate, and guarded Pei Ji.

Chen Ying stepped forward and bowed and said, "Pei Prime Minister Guozhu has arrived. Chen Ying is in a hurry to welcome him and ask for atonement!"

Pei Ji nodded and said, "You are kind to you, Mr. Chen!"

Speaking of this, Chen Ying stretched out his hand and made a gesture of inviting him to enter.

However, Pei Ji shook his head and said, "I am here to be for Prince Chen. I also ask Prince Chen to follow me to enter the palace to see you immediately!"

Chen Ying was shocked and asked, "What happened to Pei Xiangguo?"

Pei Ji sighed happily, stared at Chen Ying's eyes tightly, and said slowly: "It's okay to tell the prince-consort. Just last night, the Qin Palace sent more than a thousand dead soldiers to secretly enter Chang'an, and they were arrested by the King of Qi!"

Chen Ying was even more shocked.

At this time, it was only the end of the sixth year of Wude, and there were nearly two and a half years before the Xuanwu Gate Incident in Wude in the ninth year. Why was it too early for the King of Qin to send dead soldiers to Chang'an at this time?

Chen Ying slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He actually sent dead soldiers to Chang'an, but he did not have a centralized placement. Moreover, no one has been sent to contact them yet. The tiger Yicong is an independent organization. It has been transformed from the real army for too long. They are becoming less and less like the army, more like the Jianghu organization.

Nowadays, the number of tiger righteousness in the east and west markets has increased to more than a thousand people, but fortunately, Li Yuan did not alarm.

Chen Ying followed Pei Ji in a complicated manner and slowly walked towards Chang'an City.

...

In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng stood in front of the window, looking at the dense mist outside, and his face was as deep as water. Li Jiancheng murmured: "The actions of King Qi must have been successful now, right?

Wei Zheng stood at the desk, looked through the documents, and said carelessly: "Your Highness, don't worry, you will be surprised if there will be no accident."

Li Jiancheng sighed silently, turned around and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Sanhu kept telling me that after the matter of King Qin was over, he would want to be the general of Tian Ce, Xuancheng felt..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng raised his head sternly and stared at Li Jiancheng and said, "If you haven't received Zhang Liang's confession for a day, the overall situation cannot be determined, and... King Qi, absolutely, absolutely cannot take over General Tiance."

Li Jiancheng was stunned: "It's hard for me to break my promise and become fat?"

Wei Zheng paused and said simply and simply: "The title of General Tiance should not exist at all."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said, "It was a last resort when the father established this position."

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "General Tiance's mansion is the source of chaos in the world..."

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

Wei Zheng continued to speak without hesitation: "Once the prince takes power, he should immediately abolish General Tiance's mansion and various major offices, and take the power to the court. In the nine states in the world, there can only be one court and one center... Moreover, like the Western Regions Protectorate, Annan Protectorate, Andong Protectorate, and Anbei Protectorate, they must be separated from military and political affairs and do not affiliate with each other. In addition, the military and horses of each Protectorate should be divided into two. The Zhechong Prefectures of each Prefecture belong to the Grand Protectorate, and Sima is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Protectorate. The Grand Protectorate is only responsible for the command of the war soldiers in each town. The food and fodder must be jointly signed by the Chief Protectorate and Sima before it can be distributed..."

...

When Chen Ying arrived at the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, Feng Deyi, Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Xiao Shiwen, Yu Wenshi and other important officials were all present.

Chen Ying hurriedly greeted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying and paused his head, signaling Chen Ying to stand aside.

Li Yuan's eyes met Pei Ji in the air, and Pei Ji nodded at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said loudly: "I am determined to be the Minister of the Jung-in-Chief, King Yuanji of Qi, and add the title of Sikong."

Chen Shuda and Feng Deyi looked at each other.

Yang Gongren stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what happened?

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The King of Qin plans to rebel and kill the monarch."

Feng Deyi was so scared that he took two steps back.

Pei Ji narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Chen Ying imitated Pei Ji's appearance, with an ancient wave on his face, as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

Yang Gongren looked at Chen Ying with inquiring eyes, looked at Chen Ying's expression, and quickly closed his mouth!

Li Yuan continued: "This is the first imperial edict."

Chen Shuda said: "I am following the order!"

Li Yuan continued: "The second imperial edict will abolish the General Tiance's mansion, the former officials, and merge with the Eastern Palace, the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, the Censorate, the Nine Temples, and the Twelve Guards, and re-appointed positions. The clear edict of the world and the relevant people will not be panicked, reward merits and punishments, and the court will have its own laws and regulations, so do not worry too much. If you take the opportunity to cause trouble, bewitch people's hearts, and plan a major rebellion, I will never forgive you."

Feng Deyi was so scared that his hands and feet trembled, and his face was filled with cold sweat.

Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

Li Yuan swept his eyes at Chen Shuda like Li Dian.

Feng Deyi said: "Your Majesty, are there any misunderstandings here?"

Pei Ji pushed Chen Shuda.

Chen Shuda's head turned sharply. Without conclusive evidence, Li Yuanduan would not be so arbitrary. He said tremblingly: "I am following the imperial edict!"

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying, looked at Dou Dan again, and then said, "The third imperial edict, King Shimin of Qin, has made many military achievements since Taiyuan Yuan, and has become arrogant and rebellious in his father against his master. The last time he conquered Luoyang, he obtained financial treasures, including them, and invited people to buy hearts and be indifferent. Since the opening of the Tiance Prefecture, the king did not think about the emperor's kindness, and he usually hid his heroes and made a private fortune. He even sent a stingy man to Guandong, and he raised a slaughter.

I have been lenient and lenient in my grace and education several times, but I have not been able to restrain my actions, but I have really forbidden my grace. I have heard that those in the world will not be able to indulge the country with their personal feelings, and those who have all the clans cannot conceal their great harm with minor achievements! I ordered the King of Qin to be a commoner, and the Grand Marshal Ling, the General of the Twelve Guards on the left and right, the Secretary of the Right and the General of the Twelve Guards, the Secretary of the Hedong Daotai Shangtai, and the Secretary of the Yizhou Daosheng Shangtai Shangling. If you are free from the title of General Tiance, you will not be allowed to leave the capital forever."

Feng Deyi was weak and staggering, and Pei Ji quickly supported him.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "The third imperial edict is that the prince is established, he is kind and kind, and has been a virtuous person. He has been a supervising country for many years. He has been in charge of the Shangshu Order and the General General of the Political Affairs Hall. All ministers should serve the prince as if they are negligent and negligent, and I should punish him severely."

Feng Deyi said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty think twice, if these three edicts are issued tomorrow..."
