The rebellion in Gyeongju ended just as quickly as it started.
When the news of Li Shimin's victory came back to Chang'an, it was only surprising at first, and then soon became a topic of conversation among the extremely bored Chang'an people after dinner.
Apart from this, this rebellion and counter-insurgency did not seem to cause any waves in the market at all.
Perhaps in some corners of the market, someone would occasionally beat their chests and stamp their feet, then jump to the northwest and curse Yang Wenqian for being such a useless parallel importer. He didn't insist on playing for three days, causing him to lose all his money to gambling.
Square.
But the vast majority of ordinary people in Chang'an City are still carrying out the unfinished New Year celebrations step by step.
Especially because of the restrictions in the first two days, those relatives who have not finished their trip need to finish their trip quickly in these days.
Some distant relatives can only meet once a year in the first month of the year. If it is delayed, they will have to wait for the next year. For young people, it is easier to say that waiting for one year does not matter. For some older people, who
Do you know if we can see you again next year?
Therefore, compared with such major events, those rebellions and counter-rebellions are really nothing!
Now it is just a rebellion in Gyeongju. Last year, there were rebellions in Shandong and Hebei. Didn’t they spend much effort and the parents who were beaten didn’t even recognize them?
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, continuous victories have long cultivated the pride of Chang'an people.
Perhaps in their thinking, winning a battle is not a rare thing, but losing one day? That would be a strange thing!
In Chang'an City, compared with these ordinary, happy, ignorant and fearless people.
Those so-called dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, in this first month, are deeply understanding what it means to live like a year!
Annual leave has nominally ended.
In fact, there was no need to wait for the holiday to end. As early as the first or second day of the Lunar New Year, those officials who returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year were like dogs chasing them and ran back to Chang'an City from their hometowns.
Then they squatted at home one by one, anxiously sending people to inquire about the news. Occasionally, there was a slight disturbance, which could make them sleepless for a few days!
The ninth day of the first lunar month.
Normally, this should be the third court meeting of the New Year, but this year, many ministers have never even met the emperor.
Early this morning, what once again disappointed the ministers who rushed to the palace was that their emperor Li Yuan continued to excuse himself from court and rest on the grounds of poor health.
"What's going on this year? Your Majesty..." Li Gang, who was standing at the gate of the palace, frowned and walked up to ask the eunuch who delivered the order a few words, but judging from his expression, he probably still didn't ask anything.
"Tell me, what's this about celebrating the New Year?" Seeing Li Gang shaking his head and returning to the team, he didn't know who it was and complained in a low voice in the crowd.
Beside the crowd, a careless second-generation son heard this, but he put his hands on his hips quite complacently and said loudly: "Hey, I heard that he is the prince, and the one from Qingzhou..."
"Snapped……"
The second-generation kid didn't even have time to say what he said next. A hard slap taught him how to shut up!
"You're the only one who's smart! How dare you say ridiculous things?!"
An official who was close to the second-generation son's father waved his hands and looked at this ignorant idiot with disgust on his face.
"Uncle? Why did you hit me?" Before the second generation could react, he covered his face with five fingerprints and asked with shock on his face.
But the official just glared at him and turned away: "Don't call me uncle, I have nothing to do with you or your family! Likewise, I don't want to have anything to do with you. From now on, you can just pretend that you don't know me."
Already.
"Uncle? Why?" The second-generation disciple still chased after him stupidly and asked.
In the crowd nearby, several guys who witnessed what happened looked at each other in confusion: "...Who are these two hundred and fifty? How can you be stupider than the stupid son of the Hou family in Xiangcheng?"
"Let's go, let's stay away from him."
Outside the Suzaku Gate, all kinds of officials have different expressions, life styles, and officials are all depicted in an extremely realistic way.
At this time, the palace, which was only separated from those ministers by a wall,
Li Yuan, who had just announced that he was ill, was accompanied by Pei Ji outside the palace where Li Jiancheng was imprisoned.
Walking up the short stone steps, Li Yuan opened the door, and then a strong smell of herbs hit his face, almost making Li Yuan run out from inside.
"Who? Father?!"
In the room, Li Jiancheng, who was lying on the soft couch, also heard the sound of the door opening. When he turned his head weakly, he found that it was Li Yuan standing outside the door!
This discovery immediately made him desperate, struggled to get up, and stumbled towards the door!
"Father, I am wronged! I just envy my second brother for having such a powerful army, so I want Yang Wenqian to train him and fill him in as one of the six commanders of the crown prince. I really didn't know that he would rebel! Really?
I don’t know!”
Li Jiancheng, who was holding Li Yuan's thigh and wearing only a white undershirt, had already burst into tears. At this time, how could he look like the handsome young man he usually was?
"Okay, you get up first." Li Yuan looked down at his eldest son crying heartbrokenly, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Li Jiancheng was crying so hard at this time that he couldn't hear what Li Yuan said. It wasn't until Pei Ji, who was following Li Yuan, leaned over to pull him up that he reluctantly stood up.
"Prince, don't be too sad. Your Majesty is aware of everything and has done nothing in the past two days. We have been carefully studying and judging this matter."
Pei Ji supported Li Jiancheng and persuaded him in a low voice while using his hands secretly to help Li Jiancheng, who was already thinking a little confused, gradually wake up.
"Really?" After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly opened, "Father, do you know that I was wronged?"
"Haha, it's unfair. Don't tell me you really don't know about those 30,000 armors!" Li Yuan looked at his son and did not answer him directly, but the look on his face was quite complicated.
"Then, that was indeed my momentary confusion..."
Li Jiancheng's hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, and his raised head lowered.
However, Li Yuan's words immediately made him feel like he was reborn again!
"Hmph, but I'm sorry you don't have the courage to rebel!" Li Yuan snorted coldly.
Li Jiancheng raised his head and looked at Li Yuan as if in disbelief: "Father...Father..."
"Why."
Li Yuan shook his head and sighed deeply.
In fact, he also knew that the reason for today's situation was absolutely inseparable from his own indecision.
Both of his sons are outstanding men of their generation. No matter who they are, they are qualified and capable of obtaining the throne.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that I am wavering and in a dilemma!
Because he is always afraid that getting close to one person will hurt the other person.
Little did he know that it was his kind of laissez-faire that ultimately led to such disasters.
"This is also my father's fault. Even a foal in a stable will hoof up, let alone the two of you!"
Stretching out his hand and patting Li Jiancheng slowly, Li Yuan then changed the subject: "It's just this time, what Shimin did was so wrong, he shouldn't be like this!"
