As he approached Luoyang, Li Mu caught up with the army that suppressed the rebellion and triumphant. His light car was simple, which was naturally different from the army. In addition, Li Chengqian led his army for the first time and wanted to go back later, so he was a little slower. He walked along the way, so he was caught up by Li Mu. Tang Guan was also in Li Chengqian's army. Poor when this kid was delivering food and grass, he took a boat to go by water. When he came back, he changed the land route and told Li Chengqian half of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" along the way, and his voice was about to be smoked.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was given to Tang Guan's outline by Li Mu and "written" by Tang Guan himself. Because Tang Guan's own ideas were added, it was different from the version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Li Mu had seen, but it was closer to the ideas of people in this era and was more acceptable.

At the beginning, Li Chengqian wanted to hear it, but Tang Guan felt that he had finally found a soulmate. Later, he couldn't resist Li Chengqian wanting to hear it during the day and at night. Tang Guan couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to go around in circles to avoid Li Chengqian. Unfortunately, he was caught by him, so he told him a passage. When he arrived in Luoyang, he had no longer "release manuscripts".

Fortunately, he got home. Tang Guan escaped from Li Chengqian's army on the excuse of peeing and turned to the small road. By chance, he happened to meet Li Mu and his party.

"Big brother?"

Tang Guan and Li Mu sometimes didn't see each other. It's been half a year since they parted. It's almost a year since Tang Guan has grown a lot taller, and he almost caught up with Li Mu's size. But his weight has not grown with his height. Tang Guan now looks like a bamboo pole, with a slightly inconsistent proportion. Li Mu didn't recognize him at first glance, and walked in and saw his eyebrows clearly before recognizing him. He jumped off his horse and patted his shoulder heavily.

"It's so grown!"

"Oh, it hurts--" Tang Guan shouted, but he didn't hide. He let Li Mu knock it and laughed foolishly.

"Why is my throat hoarse?" Li Mu frowned slightly and asked.

"It's not your prince." Tang Guan said the matter and said helplessly: "Brother, I originally planned to show it off. Who knew that the prince would never end after listening to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I wrote so many chapters, so I can't write it out now, right? I had no choice but to escape and walk on the path. I didn't expect to meet my brother. It's really fate!"

"What fate?" Li Mu signaled Tang Guan to ride a horse. He got on the carriage and said, "I looked at the tail of the army. I was worried that it would take a delay. Then I turned the path closer and walked. Stop talking nonsense, and quickly lead the way home."

"Hey!" Tang Guan responded, climbed onto the horse's back and led the way. The group continued to move forward. As soon as they walked not far, they suddenly blocked the road by several riders in front of them. When they looked closely, they found that it was the Jinyiwei. Seeing the carriage approaching, the Jinyiwei got off the horse and half-kneeled on the side of the road, saying, "Marty, wait here by the order of the poliest envoy!"

"Where are the little nines?"

"Sir, waiting for the marquis on the road."

Before Li Mu could speak, Li Chongyi said, "Brother, I haven't seen Xiaojiu for almost a year. I'll go find him, you guys go back first."

"Okay," Li Mu responded, and two people from the Jinyiwei were separated to guide Li Chongyi. However, the people who were recruited later did not recognize Li Chongyi anymore, and he did not know that he was the real founder of the Jinyiwei and the first commander.

Continue to move forward, and see the gate of Luoyang City, suddenly a few more cavalry blocked the way. Li Mu was a little annoyed and frowned and said, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Marquis, it's us." The person who came smiled and bowed repeatedly. Li Mu lifted the curtain and looked at it, saying, "So it's Eunuch Chen, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes," Xiao Chen came up and said, "Your Majesty heard that the Marquis returned safely, and Long Yan was very happy. But there is one thing that you still have to say to the Marquis." Xiao Chen came to Li Mu's ear and said in a low voice. Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Okay, I understand. The news of my return will not be mentioned to anyone. Take the carriage behind the King of Qi, please take away."

"It would be great if the Marquis can understand Your Majesty's hard work." Eunuch Chen took a step back and made the road aside. Li Mu threw a gold bar to him. Eunuch Chen hurriedly caught it and watched Li Mu's carriage enter the city. The carriage behind was picked up by the men from the East Factory. He lifted the curtain and confirmed that it was King Qi. Without anyone else, Eunuch Chen felt much more relaxed.

Along the way, I received a tip that the owner of Jisitang, Li Mu's biological mother, Mrs. Lu, also returned to Luoyang with Li Mu. His Majesty was suspicious and asked the factory guard to check it out, but did not say what to do. Eunuch Chen was nervous just now. If someone was found, would he arrest him or not?

If you don’t arrest him, your majesty can’t explain it. Can you arrest him? He really dare not!

Fortunately, I didn't find it.

The clever one reminded him: "The Lord, there are other intersections, do we want—"

"You only have a mouth, right?" Xiao Chen's father-in-law glared and scolded: "Is it just you only have a mouth?"

The scolded actor quickly lowered his head and stepped back, but he felt aggrieved. What was wrong with this?

"Silly thing!" Eunuch Chen was so angry that he was too lazy to scold him. He threw the gold bars to his subordinates and said, "Everyone has a share, except this stupid guy, go back to Chang'an!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

All the actors drank together, and a gold bar could be exchanged for 100 taels of silver. There were only more than ten people present, and each of them could get seven or eight taels of silver. For these actors, it was already very expensive.

Old Man Chen personally came to the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw Li You who looked desperate. Seeing that the curtain had not been lifted, Li You glanced at it and then turned his head away. Old Man Chen didn't say anything. After this time, there was no need to pay tribute. Li You's fate was already destined. It was a blessing to survive, and it would have to be demoted to the common people. There was no need to respect him anymore.

...

The King of Qi was escorted to the capital and was detained in Dali Temple.

I don’t know who came out of the news, but in the blink of an eye, it was all over Chang’an. At this time, the army that suppressed the rebellion and triumphant had just set out from Luoyang and it would take two days to return to Chang’an.

Why is it so silent? Everyone knows in their hearts that because this is a royal scandal, is it very glorious for his son to create a father's rebellion? Li Shimin had already done it once five years ago, and now Li Shimin's son has done it again. Wherever the emperor's face is put, he naturally can keep a low profile. Try to keep a low profile as much as possible. No one should mention it, and no one should say the best.

The people were just talking about it after dinner, and there was not much storm, but this did not mean that the court was also relaxed. Although the King of Qi was arrested, the tension in the court did not subside. For a moment, undercurrents were surging, and the forces of all factions were paying attention to this matter in all aspects.

They need to understand how this matter will eventually develop, know whether others will be involved in this case, and whether they can use this matter to make a fuss. Some of them are for their own power, some are for others, and each has its own roots...

The country is a big river and lake. The court is a small river and lake.

There is a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This rivers and lakes are the world of fame and fortune, and the battle between people's hearts and desires.

However, two days passed in the blink of an eye. The welcome ceremony to suppress the rebellion army was over. The emperor still had no movement, as if he wanted to deliberately downplay the matter. Obviously, the emperor was also undecided about his own flesh and blood and did not know what to do.

"Did King Qi repent?"

In Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin asked in a stern voice.

This is what I said. Eunuch Gao goes to Dali Temple every day to inform Li You about Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, here is a copy of the King of Qi's repentance." Eunuch Gao put a memorial on the imperial desk and said, "This time, Your Highness, King of Qi, has truly repentance. The old slave looked at it and his expression was different."

After following Li Shimin for so many years, how could Eunuch Gao not guess Li Shimin's thoughts? The King of Qi has been in Chang'an for three days and has not yet failed. This only means one thing. Li Shimin did not want to commit him. Otherwise, would such a serious crime of rebellion be tried? Just cut it off.

The repentance letter was placed on the table, and Li Shimin did not rush to open it. He was stunned for a long time and sighed softly, saying, "I understand!"

Eunuch Gao couldn't bear to look at his sad eyes, and lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, King Qi... I have repeatedly asked for mercy, hoping to meet Your Majesty and apologize in person."

A bitter smile slowly rose from the corner of Li Shimin's lips, and he said softly: "Now we meet, it's better not to see each other!"

Eunuch Gao sighed in his heart. It seemed that His Majesty could not resist the hurdle in his heart.

What is the hurdle? It is nothing more than the word "wise king". How can a wise king bend for personal gain because of his own selfishness? Those who rebel will be killed without mercy. This has been the case in all dynasties. Unless the rebellion succeeds, then another saying is that Li Shimin is a typical example. Now that the King of Qi is rebelling, if he does not understand the punishment of the canon, how should people who follow the world imitate them in the future be dealt with? Are they all open-minded?

"Send the order!"

The emperor ordered lightly, his voice extremely depressed.

Li Shimin said: "Li You was demoted to a commoner and was sentenced to death!"

Eunuch Gao's heart trembled and said, "Here!"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment before suppressing the tremor of his voice: "All the followers of rebellion will be executed!"

Li Shimin closed his eyes: "There is no more sin than his family. The rest of the people, except those who have lives in their hands, will not blame them."

He is the father of the rebel, so how can he punish his family? He can't even figure out the accounts of his own, and he also knows in his heart that those big soldiers really have no choice, so although they are serious crimes of treason, the scope of this punishment is extremely small. Only more than a hundred people were actually executed.

Eunuch Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, "Here!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao went down to the Secretariat to pass the imperial edict. He walked out of the palace gate of the imperial study room and saw an eunuch coming quickly. As soon as he saw Eunuch Gao, he stopped and said, "Godfather, there is a Marquis of Luoyang here to report a copy. It's urgent to be 100,000 yuan. Do you think of Godfather?"

"What a hundred thousand urgent thing? How do you know that a hundred thousand urgent thing?" Eunuch Gao said casually: "What's wrong with me here is only a hundred thousand urgent thing-"

"Godfather, it's not what I said, it's written on the envelope." The eunuch showed the envelope to Eunuch Gao, and sure enough, the words "100,000-urgent" were written on it.

It's Li Mu's style.

Eunuch Gao sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, it's the ancestor's name--" Eunuch Gao took the envelope and turned around and entered the hall again. Li Shimin was in a daze. Seeing Eunuch Gao back, he frowned and said, "I asked you to send an order, why are you back? Is Yin Fei here to make trouble again?"

"No," Eunuch Gao took out the letter and said, "Just just walked to the door, I saw someone sending a letter. It was the letter from the Marquis of Luoyang. I was so anxious that I would like to read it to you."

"Hurrying at 100,000-" Li Shimin sighed: "Can you be more anxious than me?" As he said this, he still took the letter and smiled bitterly when he saw the Hungrying at 100,000 on the envelope.

When he opened it casually, Li Shimin's brows frowned. After a while, his brows stretched out and said, "King of Qi, be demoted to a commoner and save one's life."

"His Majesty?"

"Li Mu testified for the King of Qi and said that the rebellion was all Yin Hongzhi's mastermind, and You'er didn't know the details." Li Shimin knew of course that Li You was not innocent, but he didn't want to kill his son after all, and Li Mu was famous for not dealing with Li You. No one would object to his testimony.

Li Shimin sighed: "I still owe others favors around."

Eunuch Gao quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty and the Marquis are a family, what kind of favor does the family say? The Marquis is also considerate of His Majesty, so he sent the memorial "100,000" urgently."

"Is that right?" Li Shimin asked, asking Eunuch Gao, as if asking himself. He waved his hand and Eunuch Gao withdrew and sent an order.

When he walked out of the hall, the eunuch who was sending the message was still there. According to the convention, he had a reward for money. Seeing that Eunuch Gao had no intention of giving, the eunuch was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, but he didn't dare to ask for it.

When Eunuch Gao looked at the little eunuch, he knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't say that his godfather doesn't care about you, go to the place of the concubine Yin and tell him that the Marquis of Marquis will not kill the King of Qi and demote him to a commoner. You can guarantee that you will be rewarded ten times once!"

They were all people walking in the palace, and no one knew about the matter of King Qi. Of course, the little eunuch knew that what Eunuch Gao said was true, and he left with great gratitude. Eunuch Gao shook his head and continued to walk towards the Secretariat. How to speak the imperial edict? He had to discuss with the officials of the Secretariat and to protect His Majesty's face.

...

The decree was drafted and passed to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple immediately began to implement it.

This is a serious crime of treason, and it is not necessary to wait until the death of the autumn, and it will be carried out immediately. Moreover, because the rebellious mastermind is the emperor's son, it can be regarded as a "family scandal" of the royal family, so the execution of these accomplices is not carried out in a public manner.

More than a hundred prisoners who had lost their lives in their hands were all dealt with by Li Chengqian.
