At noon, Changsun Wuji entered the palace and handed a sign asking to see the queen.
Li Er, who was about to have dinner with Queen Changsun, happened to be in Queen Changsun's palace.
Hearing Changsun Wuji's request to see him, he stood up decisively and said to Eunuch Gao: "Go and tell Wulang that I will have a drink with Wulang at noon today. Let him be hungry first and wait for me!"
The most common meal time in the palace is at the beginning of noon, around 11 am.
Li Yuanxing's meal time is at noon, which is around 12 o'clock, and sometimes later. Because Li Yuanxing is used to eating a large breakfast and eating well. He also doesn't like to eat late night snacks, so lunch is postponed.
If you have dinner a little later, you won't have to eat another meal at night.
"Why did Erlang avoid him?" Queen Changsun was puzzled.
Li Er signaled Eunuch Gao to send someone to deliver the message first, and then said: "Guanyin, you don't know something. Yesterday afternoon, all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty sent representatives to Wulang's mansion. Wulang offered five million guan.
The aristocratic family didn't even pay back the price, so they agreed to the five million guan. It would be more, not less. The representative sent by Daibei was the eldest grandson of the family, eldest grandson Wu Xian! At night, Wu Xian and Wu Xian
Ji didn't say a word, they didn't speak to each other, and no one else spoke."
Queen Changsun understands.
Changsun Wuji came to the palace for their family affairs.
Li Er will not be involved in this matter. If Li Er is involved, a small matter will become a big matter.
A pair of brothers and a sister who were kicked out of the eldest grandson's family back then, along with a fifth brother who was still a child, turned out to be extremely powerful ministers, and the other was honored as the mother of the country.
"Fortunately Wulang doesn't know these old things!" Empress Changsun sighed softly.
Li Er shook his head: "Wulang is a person who knew for five hundred years before and five hundred years later. Maybe he doesn't know? Yuan Gaisuwen didn't enter Chang'an, and even the information about ten generations of his family was given to Qin Qiong. Then
Princess Kinderman of Silla has just entered Chang'an, and Wulang even knows her favorite foods and the color of her favorite clothes."
Empress Changsun sighed softly again and just said: "At Wulang's place, Erlang is not allowed to drink too much!"
"I'm going!" Li Er didn't want to say anymore.
Changsun Wuji was led by his chamberlain to take a detour in the imperial garden, just in time to avoid Li Er leaving the palace.
Entering Queen Changsun's palace, lunch was already served, just two servings. Only the two most trusted eunuchs and maids in the palace were left, and the rest were sent outside.
"Is the elder brother doing it for the third brother?"
"I don't have a brother!" Changsun Wuji's tone was cold.
"He is unkind, we cannot be unjust, what should the people of the world say? My brother and sister are extremely noble, but they want to take revenge on him for personal matters in the family? Why can't we let go of our hearts and minds? Is the political situation really stable since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty? Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne
, four important ministers have openly rebelled, brother, do you dare to say that there will not be a fifth?" Empress Changsun's words were already very serious.
Changsun Wuji was now overwhelmed by hatred.
I couldn't listen to anything else.
On the other side, in General Tiance's mansion, Li Yuanxing cooked a few side dishes himself and waited for Li Er to come over in the study.
"Brother Emperor, are you feeling embarrassed?"
"Your imperial sister-in-law asks for orders to make An Ye the general of the right gate!"
An Ye is the eldest grandson Wuxian.
Li Yuanxing smiled coldly: "This gives him a chance to rebel. In fact, the result will be death or exile." Li Yuanxing knew the history. Changsun Wuxian rebelled in December of the first year of Zhenguan. Of course, he was not the mastermind.
Li Er sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Who is the mastermind?"
"Li Xiaochang is the mastermind, and the other mastermind is Liu Deyu. Two other people are also involved, one is Changsun Shunde, and the other is Liu Hongji. Now if Changsun Wuxian becomes the prison general, then they can directly attack
Entering the inner palace, no matter what the result is, someone will definitely die."
Li Yuanxing's tone didn't sound like he was talking about rebellion at all, but instead he was telling a story.
Li Er was a little confused: "Why didn't Wu Lang stop this?"
"Other than killing, there is nothing that can be done to stop it."
"Brother, I have plenty of time today to listen to Wu Lang telling stories!" Li Er also said stories, not rebellion.
Li Yuanxing poured wine for both of them, and then continued: "Let me talk about the background of this guy's choice first. He was a member of the hidden prince party, and his son was killed when he was purging party members. He came to Chang'an just to ask for help.
A stable and surrendered attitude, I don’t know whether he is sincerely surrendering or pretending to surrender."
"Half true and half false!" Li Er commented.
Li Yuanxing did not take Li Er's words and continued: "After the imperial brother ascended the throne, the situation in the DPRK can be said to be that the people from the old Qin Prince's Palace came to power. If the aristocratic family had not had a hand in it, they would have been affected by the power of the DPRK.
A blow. Most of the old men in the hands of the emperor have been cleaned up. It can be said that the people in Prince Yin's party have been completely cleansed. Li Xiaochang has been idle in Chang'an for more than half a year. There is no official arrangement and no one cares about him, because
He is insignificant."
"Wu Lang assigned the noble family's interests and didn't care about him."
"I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the court. It's human nature for people in the old Qin Palace to fight for some power, as long as they don't go too far. What I want is a capable person. He, Li Xiaochang, is not a capable minister first, but also a family member.
It can't be a help in making money, even if my brother knew that he would rebel, he didn't bother to take care of it."
Li Er agreed with Li Yuanxing's words.
Not to mention Li Yuanxing, even if he was faced with the people from the Old Qin Palace fighting for power and position in the court, he would not care. After all, these people have been with him life and death for so many years. If he does not give him this little bit of status,
It will chill people's hearts.
Li Yuanxing stood up, walked to the table and pulled out three envelopes.
"One letter was given to me by Brother Shu Bao. Li Yili, a boy who doesn't know how high the sky is, actually publicized the relationship between the Li family and the King of Qi in the market. At this time and under such circumstances, he is cheating!"
It's a lie.
After Li Er read the letter, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was forcing his father, Li Xiaochang, to die.
"This is written by Liu Hongji and Changsun Shunde. Among them is a letter written by Li Xiaochang to them. It already hints that the Li family is not necessarily that Li?"
Li Er picked up the letter, first read Li Xiaochang's letter, and then read the self-defenses of the two generals.
"They are sensible and know what they cannot do. However, this is because Wulang has means. They dare not resist, knowing that with their little strength they cannot resist the Qin Palace. What will Wulang do next?"
Li Er threw the letters aside.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Whatever happened to Brother Guan Chen, it should be what the emperor thinks should be done!"
"Let them plot, and take them all down before they start an uprising!" Li Er is the real ruthless person.
Li Xiaochang's meritorious service can be said to be the merit of following the dragon.
It was he who changed the Tang Dynasty's disadvantage in fighting the Sui army and completed a huge strategic turn. Therefore, it can be said that he had a very high status and status when Li Yuan was emperor.
But Li Er didn't like this person.
Li Xiaochang's family prospered in the former Sui Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty had just launched its army, he dedicated Yongfengcang to Li Yuan, which gave Li Yuan greater strategic maneuverability. What's more, at that time, Li Yuan faced
The war did not go smoothly due to the suppression of the former Sui Dynasty Qu Tutong.
Li Xiaochang is a speculator, which is why Li Er dislikes this person.
Li Yuanxing said at this time: "Liu Deyu is an accomplice, but he is not a subordinate. They are competitors. To put it bluntly, they can easily be beheaded. If they have truly succeeded in their rebellion, no one will make the other the emperor."
"Ha, haha!" Li Erqian laughed twice.
What kind of rebellion is this? It's just a bunch of idiots, a bunch of rabble, a bunch of useless losers in their own golden age of Zhenguan who unite to do some stupid things that don't even have the slightest chance of success.
(Note: According to historical records, this rebellion was true, but in fact it was a group of fools with no organization, insufficient political support, or even enough military strength.)
Although they were a mob, Li Er frowned.
These people are trash, but the families behind them are not. It can be said that the families behind these people are already part of the core power circle of Datang.
"Do you think Wulang is cleaning or appeasing?" Li Er was in a dilemma.
Li Yuanxing spread his hands: "If we continue to kill this, there will be thousands of people who can't stop. It can be said that all the roots of the Yin Prince Party have been eradicated. But how should it be written in history? There are not many good historians, so they will definitely
Write down, this is a brutal action to cleanse hostile forces, a killing to increase centralization of power!"
"What Wulang said is true!" Li Er was very satisfied with Li Yuanxing's statement, especially in Li Er's eyes, the historian was helpless.
"To appease, they are a bunch of greedy guys. If you dare to ask for a little today, you will dare to ask for more tomorrow, so appeasement is not a good idea. You will definitely have to kill a few people, but who to kill, the emperor has to make an idea!
"Li Yuanxing suggested again.
"Kill Liu Deyu!"
Li Er blurted out almost without any thought.
"Okay, I'll leave it to Brother Chen. I haven't had time in the past few days. In the next few days, when Li Xiaochang really dragged Sun Wuxian into the water, Brother Chen would play with them and do some hard work. Someone still has to do it. Guangyuan is a
What a wonderful place. Although it is hard work to dig mountains and build roads there, it is a great good deed for generations to come!"
"Brother, I will issue an order tomorrow to promote Sun Wuxian to an official position!" Li Er didn't care about killing people.
But Li Er cares about how historians write about him, especially how those historians will evaluate him after his death.
Li Er had enough reasons to kill Liu Deyu. Li Er could not tolerate people who betrayed him. Liu Deyu was once an official of the Prince of Qin's Palace, and was later dragged to the Prince's Palace by Li Jiancheng with some minor secrets. Based on this alone, Liu Deyu
He shouldn't be alive, so he only killed him. Li Er felt that he was very kind. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
