Chapter 36 The good news flew into the Shence Mansion
Regarding Li Xiaochang's rebellion, Li Zhiyun had historical memories, so it was not surprising. Du Caiqian's rebellion was not surprising to him, because on the night of the Ten Thousand Years Palace Incident, people in Fu Yi found letters exchanged between Du Caiqian and Li Jiancheng in the ruins of the East Palace. He
The reason why Du Caigen was not touched before was mainly because Huazhou had a small army and no need to pay special attention to it. As soon as Wei Yunqi and Ren Gui were dealt with, he would use an excuse to deal with Du Caigen.
However, he could not imagine that Changsun Anye would also rebel.
Thinking of the history that Sha Shao also caused Li Shimin's rebellion, it seems that it is not something unacceptable.
You know, Changsun Anye is the half-brother of Changsun, Princess of Qin.
In other words, this mentally retarded man ignored his status as the Queen's brother in history and committed the terrible act of beheading.
On June 12, the sixth year of Wude, Su Lie sneaked into Weizhou with 700 men, captured the eldest son Anye alive, and had secretly controlled Weizhou.
The process went smoothly, so smoothly that Su Lie felt that he paid too much attention to Changsun Anye.
He successfully caught the drunken eldest grandson Anye at his house, and then found the correspondence between him and Du Caiqian.
At the same time, Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, and Du Caigan, the governor of Huazhou, raised troops one after another, issued a proclamation to attack Li Zhiyun, and vowed to go to war.
Suddenly, rebellions broke out in the two places, causing some disturbances in the government and the public.
But soon, the court gave its reaction.
Publish a message to defeat the rebels.
Chai Shao sent his troops out of Qizhou, and Xiahou Duan sent his troops out of Zizhou to attack Li Xiaochang together.
Huang Junhan and Cheng Yaojin, the general managers of Huaizhou, each led their troops to conquer Du Caigan.
Shence Mansion.
"Interesting." Li Zhiyun handed a secret letter from Su Lie to Xue Yuanjing.
After reading it, the latter smiled and said: "Is this eldest grandson Anye serious? He wanted to rebel and was drunk, but he was easily captured by General Su. How stupid he is."
Xue Shou said: "This is not surprising. I heard that the eldest grandson Anye is addicted to alcohol and has never done his job properly. His position as the governor of Weizhou was also given to him by King Qin when he was in charge of Shaanxi Province."
"Compared with this, I'm more curious about why he rebelled?" Li Zhiyun said with slight interest: "Whether it's Li Xiaochang or Du Caigan, they all have contacts with the deposed prince, but Changsun Anye, what does he mean?"
Hearing this, Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing looked at each other, and they couldn't understand.
After thinking for a while, there was no result. Li Zhiyun did not hesitate and said: "Weizhou has been controlled by Su Lie. Du Caigan panicked and raised troops. He was surrounded on three sides. When Li Junxian arrived, his defeat was determined."
After saying that, he asked: "How is Chai Shao doing?"
Xue Shou cupped his hands and said: "Ke Ming's letter says everything is going well. The army has entered Liangzhou and will be stationed at Sanquan in Lizhou soon. Xiahou Duan, the governor of Zizhou, was ordered to recruit two thousand troops and march north to Shizhou."
"Okay." Li Zhiyun said: "Since Li Xiaochang rebelled in Lizhou, let's end everything in Lizhou."
"yes."
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Because of the incident that night, the palace of Prince Qin was completely slaughtered. Princess Qin and several of King Qin’s concubines escaped because they went to bury King Qin. Li Lizhi was lucky enough to be saved by King Huaiyang. Her husband died, her son died,
Everyone is dead, and only Changsun and her daughter live in Nuo Da's mansion, so naturally they don't need many people to serve them.
Therefore, the once bustling Prince Qin's Mansion has now become deserted.
Mrs. Changsun was holding her daughter in the courtyard, staring at the lush garden in a daze. She was no longer as plump and beautiful as before, and she had lost a lot of weight due to a series of blows. If she had not been able to let go of her daughter, she would have gone to accompany her husband.
If she lived to take care of her son and find the murderer of her husband, now she has nothing to worry about except her daughter.
After all, the court has found out that King Qin was killed by the deposed prince and King Qi.
The deposed prince and the king of Qi have also submitted to the law.
Although Li Jiancheng's murder of King Qin was not announced to the public, the truth was found out and was not deliberately concealed.
The imperial court did not publicize this matter, mainly to save face. It is already a scandal for the deposed prince to rebel and kill the king. If this matter is exposed again, it will be even more scandalous. Therefore, under Li Yuan's will, the deposed prince will cause harm to the emperor.
The matter of King Qin's death was dealt with coldly.
That is, confirming the truth without making a big deal out of it.
However, she still couldn't help but feel heartache every time she thought of her husband and son.
At this moment, a maid quickly came to her side.
"Princess, something big has happened."
"What happened?"
"When I was buying vegetables, I saw the imperial court issuing a proclamation against thieves. It said that the governors in several places had rebelled."
"Oh." Changsun didn't care much after hearing this.
The rebellion is over, what does it have to do with a woman like her?
The maid cautiously said: "I heard that the governor and governor of the state of Wei were also involved."
"What!" Changsun suddenly looked back and stared at the maid, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, I saw the name of the governor Changsun on the memorial."
Hearing this, Changsun closed his eyes and felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
Two-year-old Li Lizhi looked at her gloomy mother in confusion.
"Aniang."
Changsun came to her senses and patted her daughter gently, "It's okay, it's okay."
How could it be okay!
Since her biological brother Changsun Wuji fled to the Turks, this half-brother Changsun Anye is the only remaining head of Changsun Cheng's family.
How could he be so stupid!
Although Changsun Anye had previously kicked her and her brother Changsun Wuji out of the house after their father's death, in the final analysis, Changsun Anye was her elder brother.
If the eldest grandson Anye is executed by the court for treason, wouldn’t it mean that her family’s family is doomed?
Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still and handed her daughter to the nanny to confirm the facts herself.
Huazhou, jujube.
Cheng Yaojin led 5,000 troops and stationed them here. He won both battles and beat Du Caigan to the point where he was huddled in Huazhou and was in a dilemma.
Du Caiqian never thought that the court would know about his rebellion in advance, let alone that the court had already arranged everything for him to rebel.
He originally thought of taking things by surprise, but now, everything is over.
Before the soldiers and horses left Huazhou, they were blocked by Cheng Yaojin's troops in Suanzao, but there was never any reaction from Weizhou.
What happened to Changsun Anye!
Was he also exposed?
In front of the two armies.
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"If you lose the bet, come out and see me!"
When he was in Wagang, Du Caiqian lost more than he won when gambling, so Cheng Yaojin gave him the nickname "You must lose when gambling".
When Du Caiqian heard this, his face was gloomy, and he rode to the front of the formation under the protection of his guards.
"Shut up, Cheng Heizi!"
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "You will lose your bet. Just surrender. You have already lost."
"Fart, I still have hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"Really?" Cheng Yaojin said: "Then why are you sticking to Huazhou? Come and beat me!"
"You!" Du Caiqian was furious, "Cheng Yaojin, you and I were brothers in the past, why don't you abandon the dark side and join the bright side and follow me as King Qin! One day when the saint returns to the court, you will also be a first-class hero. Why do you have to go to the dark side with the rebel king Li Zhiyun?
.”
Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said: "You will lose your bet. You are still talking in your sleep when you are about to die. If you dismount and surrender now, I can plead with His Highness and spare your life."
"Cheng Yaojin, don't be arrogant. Do you think I am the only one who wants to be the king of Qin? You are too naive!" Du Caigan sneered: "Even if you can stop me, you will never be able to stop Li Xiaochang's troops. Maybe
, now Chang'an has been captured by Li Xiaochang!"
After saying that, he was looking forward to Cheng Yaojin's panic expression.
But it didn't happen. On the contrary, he saw the playful look on Cheng Yaojin's face, which made him feel inexplicably cold.
