Chapter 813 Xiao Yu rebelled against Tang

Xiao Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, and was silent for a while and said, "Even you are suspected. It seems that I, Xiao Yu, are really in a place of suspicion. I can't stay here for Li Tang."

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "I think I, Xiao Yu, is the son of the Emperor of Liang Dynasty, the younger brother of the Empress of the Sui Dynasty, the current Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and the emperor's family, have also fallen into this field. Since Li Yuan and Li Shimin don't want me anymore, I will go to Zhao State. The people of Zhao State Fengwenshi have been asking me for a day or two, and Empress Xiao has also written to me many times, advising me to surrender to Zhao to ensure my glory throughout my life. How about you, my nephew, do you want to follow me?"

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Deyan said: "Uncle, my nephew is thinking. Now that Li Tang is declining, it is really difficult to expect Li Shimin to turn the world around. Although this person has the courage of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's plan, Li Chongjiu was also a hero at that time. What's more, Zhao State has successively destroyed the Turks and Goguryeo, and relieved the worries of the northern and eastern regions. At present, as long as Lin Shihong is one level, the world's three-pointers are already two points. The following is when he is fully engaged in military use to Li Tang. I think there is a lot of danger in this battle."

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said, "That's why my betrayal is meaningful. I was about to see Li Shimin learn that the face of the moment when the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe surrendered to Zhao State was also the consequence of the Li family's father and son not using me."

Xiao Yu showed hatred when he said this.

That night, Xiao Yu made a decision and asked the court for leave the next day to visit the tombs outside Chang'an. On the way, Xiao Yu was picked up by the Fengwensi and suddenly left from Chang'an and headed for Zhaodi.

The news of Xiao Yu's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty was not concealed for long. The first person to discover that Xiao Yu was missing was a clerk from the Shangshu Province. After learning that Xiao Yu had not returned to Chang'an overnight, he immediately reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was furious after hearing the news. While blocking the news, he sent someone to arrest Xiao Yu.

However, how could the news of the disappearance of Zuo Pushe of the dynasty in the dynasty be concealed? The news kept coming out, especially after Chang'an sent people to the Wei River and captured the Yellow River along the river, the news leaked.

Many officials in Chang'an have heard of Xiao Yu's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to Zhao. Even the prime minister of the dynasty rebelled against Zhao State. This fact is extraordinary. The more he concealed it, the more he could not hide it. The shock of this court was like one of the three men of Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng and Wang Gui surrendered to Li Tang.

The shock in the Li Tang court was quite large, not to mention that Xiao Yu, as the prime minister, had many secrets in Li Tang. When he surrendered to Zhao, the domestic situation of Li Tang was exposed to Zhao State without any concealment. Now the Li Tang court must be panic. After Xiao Yu surrendered to Zhao, then which of the officials of Li Tang could trust, is everyone in danger at this moment.

In addition to the incident of Li Yuanji, Xiao Yu and Xiao Deyan surrendering to Zhao together, the officials of Li Tang didn't know who would announce surrendering to Zhao tomorrow. The officials were all worried about their lives, but on the surface, they still maintained a stable look in Chang'an City under the maintenance of Li Shimin.

Just like this seemingly under the Anding Dynasty, Yang Wengan himself officially announced the rebellion in Qingzhou.

This news was like dry firewood ignited by the fire, which immediately ignited the situation in Li Tang Hexi.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin sat upright next to the dragon chaise, and the dragon chaise was empty, but everyone knew that Li Yuan could no longer come back and sit on the dragon chaise, so Li Shimin was already the helmsman of the Tang Dynasty.

The Liangyi Hall was brightly lit, and Li Shimin's confidant officials were reporting to Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, and Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, refused to obey the orders of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince. The incident of returning to Chang'an was also quietly spread in the court. However, these two people are still good. Although they oppose His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, they have not publicly expressed their intention of rebellion. However, Yang Wengan openly raised troops to rebel. The banner he put forward was to raise an army to kill His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, avenge Li Jiancheng, and welcome his Majesty to take charge of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin said: "Yang Wengan is a foolish person. For such a person, Gu had nothing to say. He sent an order to worship Hou Junji as the General of the Left Wu Guard, send troops to attack Yang Wengan, and then sent the governor of Lingzhou Yang Shidao to attack from Lingzhou and attack on both sides. Gu must use his thunderous and decisive force to wipe out Yang Wengan and kill one to warn a hundred!"

Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and Yang Wen is purely unwise to uprising. The land of Qingzhou is no more than Qingzhou where Duan Decao is located or Hedong where Li Yuan is located. The power of Zhao State here is beyond the reach. If this person rebelled, if he could quickly wipe out Duan Decao, Li Yuan would also be a shock to Duan Decao."

After Fang and Du said that, Gao Shilian said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has something else. Now there are many people in the royal family accusing you of killing brothers during the Xuanwu Sect Incident. Although Your Majesty has tried his best to save it, there are still many people in the royal family who resist."

Only half of Li Shimin's uncle Gao Shilian dared to say this to him. No one else dared to mention the three words Xuanwu Gate in front of Li Shimin. Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui dared not.

Li Shimin said: "The father learned from the lessons of the former Sui Dynasty and refused to trust outsiders. He only valued the royal family as generals, so he promoted Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Daoxuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Yuan and others. This is to use people only for the sake of nepotism. Among these people, except Li Xiaogong, who is truly capable, and Li Yuan actually opposed the orphan. It would be better if he wanted such a royal family!"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Fang Xuanling and others advised: "Your Highness can't say that. No matter what, these royal families are the relatives of His Majesty. Who else can they trust if they don't trust?"

"I don't trust them," said Li Shimin. "In the Tiance Mansion, such as Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang, Cheng Zhijie and others, who are not as good as their generals than them, so I won't mention them. In my Tang Dynasty, there are also famous generals like Chai Shao, Yang Gongren, Liu Hongji, and Zhang Gongjin, all of which are more talented than them. Why should they control military power? I am the only one who only uses talents to take charge of others and never nepotism. Those who are in positions of corpses should be eliminated and talented people should be allowed to serve as generals!"

Li Shimin said this and the generals present at the Tiance Mansion all showed gratitude. This is the monarch they deserved to be loyal to, and they lived up to their strong support in Xuanwu Gate.

Fang Xuanling praised it in his heart. This is Gao Ce. Li Yuan relied on the royal family to maintain the present of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin now came to power by usurping power, so he could not use Li Yuan's team. Of course, he had to use the generals of the Tiance Prefecture he trusted as generals to take over military power.
