Five hundred and ninetieth chapters Xiongdu (thirty-five)
In the morning, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear. Chang'an, which had been covered with haze for many days, finally ushered in a rare and good weather.
In Chang'an City, there is a loess mattress on the Purifying Water Street. The gates of the Fangfang in the city are open, and red knots are hanging above the Fangfang gates, as if they are celebrating some festival. In fact, for this city, as well as the civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers who are still living in the city, today is indeed worth celebrating, and any festival is not as important as today. Before today, everyone was worried about it.
It was not known when the war would rekindle, nor how fate would be. It was not until this moment that everyone finally confirmed that they were safe. The carriage of Duke Tang Li Yuan had already arrived outside Chang'an City, and before the large group of people was the special envoy of the Jinyang Army. After these envoys riding fast horses and wearing brocade clothes entered the city, they neither rush to seal the treasury to collect wealth nor ask for jewelry, treasures, or beauties from the palace; and even the twenty beautiful palace ladies carefully selected by Concubine Wei did not have the opportunity to send them out. After entering the city, they just posted notices outside the yards, and then rode horses in the city, running loudly reading the Duke Tang's
Order: The soldiers and civilians in the city do not need to worry. As long as they sincerely submit without any false thoughts, they will not kill anyone. If any soldiers in the army steal property and harass good people, they will be killed without mercy! When these envoys in the brocade clothes read the order, they will hold straight swords in their hands and guard the palace gate and the ward where all officials live with swords. They are all the generals around Li Yuan, and they come with their master's military orders, and their status is the same as the special envoy of the emperor. No matter what level
Other military generals, as long as they violate military discipline, they have the right to kill them. Therefore, with them, just like Jiang Taigong retreating here, no one in Jinyang general dares to make trouble. Compared to their own property and family safety, all officials care more about the attitude behind Li Yuan's arrangements. Although Li Yuan has always been famous, these ministers and Li Yuan had contacts and even won over the past. However, this kind of exchange or win over is just a general
The ministers who secretly colluded with the ministers who were preparing to fight outside the Li family to seize Chang'an were not the same. The bloody storm in Chang'an before washed away the true inner responsibilities of the Li family. These ministers did not provide assistance in the process of killing all officials in Yinshi Master, and some even suspected of adding fuel to the fire. If they had not shown absolute loyalty to the court, Yinshi Master would not allow them to live until now. Now Tai A is in a rebellious position, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the Li family. If Li Yuan pursued the old debt and turned against him, these people would have no choice. Therefore, even after surrender, it would be difficult.
Don't be worried and don't know how Duke Tang made a fuss about him. These envoys in the brocade clothes appeared to make these people completely at ease. If Li Yuan wanted to kill him or take action to settle the matter, it would be easiest to kill him or her by the rioters. If he had a big deal in the future, he could kill some people randomly. Now the Li family is in charge.
The military discipline proves that they really want to ensure the peace of Chang'an City, and their lives can naturally be preserved. For everyone, this experience is like a resurrection from the dead and naturally happy in their hearts. Therefore, the red knives have worked very hard to clean the streets in the past few days, and even some civil and military officials have personally taken the battle and swept the streets with brooms. They just want to be able to be in front of the two men of the Li family.
Sale it well and prove his loyalty to Duke Tang. Outside the Mingde Gate, King Yang You of Dai was wearing his shoulders, holding a long rope in his hand, and a lamb was tied behind the rope. His originally fair face was covered with mud, and he knelt down on the ground to greet Li Yuan's car. The old minister Wei Xuan was naturally accompanied by his side, and behind them were the palace eunuchs. They were wearing red lacquer trays on their heads, with seals, talismans, and even Guanzhong albums. As for the large scale of the Tianxia household registration, it was impossible to get it here, and they were all sealed
It exists in the warehouse, and only the unlock key is placed on your head and wait for handover.
The flesh and sheep are held, and the mud is held with jade. This is the ceremony of the princes in ancient times who asked for surrender, implying that they would be defeated and hand their lives to the winner. The killing and cutting are all followed by the emperor, and they have nothing to say. No matter what, this level must be passed. The former descendants of the Tian family did not suffer this humiliation, so how can the successor be relieved? Of course, this attitude does not mean that they can survive. Whether they are dead or alive must be decided by the sword holder.
Although before the arrival, Wei Xuan had repeatedly assured Yang You that in order to maintain his decent reputation, Li Yuan would never dare to commit a tyrannical act of ordering to kill the regicide. However, when things came, listening to the car battle getting closer and closer to him, Yang
Yu's body still couldn't help but tremble violently. Wei Xuan's previous professor's words had forgotten all the rest. All that was left was grievance, fear and three-point unwillingness. A resentment rose from his chest, spinning back and forth in his throat, and eventually evolved into a wail of despair. It was like a small beast trapped in a trap, whimpering. Wei Xuan was clearly listening, and only felt that the whining was like a whistling whip,
He was so cold that his heart was like a knife. Although Li Shimin made a slander and made a vow, Li Yuan also promised to ensure the safety of the Dai King, who could say this life-related matter is accurate. Even a small action or a heartless word may make the person involved change his mind and face each other. After all, if the knife is not held in his own hands, there is no way to ensure safety. The sharp blade is not good, everything is false. Whether it is a kind reputation or a plan, it is just a trick to fool himself. When the matter is about to come, it is not yet
Is it because others have lost their lives? I was scared by the Li family before. In the past few days, the garrison officers and soldiers and the Li family were not idle. They removed all the fire pots and firewood, and even the Wanjun divine crossbows and the city-guarding combat equipment. Now Daxing is the whole mate
The armed giant turned into a bare-handed man. Even if the Li family turned against each other, they would no longer have the weapons to restrain the other party. Your Majesty... I'm sorry to you. You gave me authority, but I failed to defend your country. Now even your bones and blood may not be able to maintain them. Everything can only be left to fate, but the old minister really has no choice. I have done everything I can.
But God is so will, how can manpower be saved?
The sound of the wheels came to an abrupt end. Wei Xuan tried his best to lower his head, snatch the ground with his head and dared not make a sound. At this time, no matter how Li Yuan humiliated him, he must show absolute obedience, not for himself, but for Yang You.
The surroundings became silent, and suddenly a vigorous voice heard a scream: "Your Majesty? Why is Your Majesty like this? Wouldn't this be a minister?"
Your Majesty? Who is your Majesty? Wei Xuan has heard that the person who called Li Yuan, who would he call him? Before Wei Xuan could figure it out, he heard a sound of footsteps. Someone had already come to him, and then he heard Li Yuan's voice coming from above his head: "Who is this person
He is bold and dares to make His Majesty kneel down! He deserves to die! Come, help His Majesty onto the carriage!"
A sound of armor rubbing and military boots came, and then Yang You heard an exclamation: "Duke Wei..." But there was no movement next.
I see?
Wei Xuan's thoughts were flashing and he had already guessed Li Yuan's intention. He called Yang You the Majesty, which means... he wanted Yang You to continue to serve as a puppet? In the past, Yang You was a puppet in the hands of Emperor Daye, and from now on he would change his master. Li Yuan raised an army to fight against Sui was a rebellion, but he always regarded himself as the Duke of Tang. Even though his daily life was like an emperor, he still refused to usurp the title of being alone. At least today, according to the law, Emperor Daye was still the emperor. Li Yuan secretly occupied Daxing,
If the dynasty is changed directly, we must consider whether the heroes in the world are willing to obey. Maybe they will become the target of public criticism and attract all parties to attack. If he does not proclaim himself emperor, he will be against the king and is at an absolute disadvantage in the great sense. Even if the strength of the aristocratic families is strong, they must always consider the influence of imperial power. What's more, the status of the monarch and the ministers, and ethics are also fig leafs used by the aristocratic families to restrain their subordinates.
If they didn't talk about this completely, they would not be able to guarantee that the powerful military officials under their command would not follow suit and usurp their own position. Li Yuan must have thought of this, so he brought Yang You out as a tablet. He used the Yang family to attack the Yang family, and Li Yuan changed from a treacherous and rebellious minister to a loyal and loyal person, assisting the emperor in the fight against the unjust officials and killing the treacherous and slandered in the court.
With the support of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the situation of the two courts that Emperor Daye was most worried about was still the case.
This situation was common during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and even absurd things such as "dog-legged" and "why did Your Majesty rebellion" all occurred. Now Li Yuan just followed suit and was not considered a clever one. This is the so-called kind elder? This is the Duke of Tang, who is benevolent and famous all over the world. He had promised to not hurt the slightest part of the dynasty, and turned his head and roasted the person on the fire. How vicious was he? What did he regard the vow he had made?
He was not afraid of retribution at all? Wei Xuan felt that his eyes were black, his limbs were cold and his hands were weak. He was already old and weak, but because the situation was urgent, he had an amazing potential and supported his body with amazing willpower.
After several days of hard work, fighting wits and courage with all parties, and trying every means to protect the Yang family's bloodline to make the old man exhausted and dying. Now seeing Li Yuan use such means, the pillar in his heart has broken and is suddenly surrounded by endless fatigue. The power of self-inspiration disappeared without a trace, and the person was slumped there and could not move. All vitality, vitality and even hope are all
With the revolving wheels and the sound of the sacs and boots dissipated, I still lost! I worked hard to plan and plan, but finally lost to Li Yuan, who was a sweet-mouthed sword and loyal traitor. However, I was not completely out of nothing. At least I finally buried a thorn in the hearts of the Li brothers. If it was not as good as I expected, this thorn would sooner or later take root and sprout, causing the Li family to kill each other. Even if I was no longer in the world at that time, I could still watch Li Yuan in the sky!
