Five hundred and ninetieth chapters: King Qin returns to the capital
What happened next was very simple. Li Yuan had already expressed a compromise and said a few soft words. Wan He also pretended to be accommodating and returned to the Qian Mansion again. This time, Li Yuan was not just talking. , In just one day, Li Yuan's two generals, Li Shentong and Yin Kaishan, led the army to directly surround the army brought by the Yuan family's children, and those Yuan family's children could not even resist, so they Became a prisoner.
At the same time, Li Yuan went to the Yuan Family Courtyard in person again, but this time Li Yuan took three thousand defenders in the city, and directly surrounded the Yuan Family Courtyard three floors inside and three outside, not even a fly could be seen. They couldn't fly out. Yuan Baohe, the head of the Yuan family, didn't believe that Li Yuan could be so bold at first. But when Li Yuan's men threw a few heads at the Yuan family compound, Yuan Baohe suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years. At the same age, he ordered the door to be opened to welcome Li Yuan into the house, and those heads were the heads of the palace servants and garrison generals that Yuan Baohe had secretly bribed. These people usually had nothing to do with the Yuan family, even the Yuan family Most of the disciples didn't know their relationship with the Yuan family, but now they were directly killed by Li Yuan. Yuan Baohe finally understood that this time Li Yuan no longer planned to accommodate the Yuan family. Although the Yuan family was powerful, If Li Yuan is really determined to deal with the Yuan family, then this large family, which inherited the royal blood of the Northern Wei Dynasty, will completely disappear from history.
After cleaning up the Yuan family, Li Yuan directly escorted the Yuan family disciples who mobilized troops without authorization to the outside of the Dugu family compound, and threw them directly to Dugu Chen, the head of the Dugu family. Since he had decided to teach the Yuan family a lesson, Naturally, it is impossible for Li Yuan to deal with the Dugu family as well, as that would only make too many enemies. These Yuan family children should be regarded as an explanation for the Dugu family, and Dugu Chen is also a smart man. Although he knows these Yuan family The children of the Yuan family were not the real culprits who killed Dugu Yunqing, but at least they had given enough face to the Dugu family, and he had no dissatisfaction. He immediately killed the Yuan family children, several Dugu Yunqing, and then The grand funeral can be regarded as the end of the matter.
Although the result was a bit unexpected, in any case, this matter that almost disturbed the entire city of Chang'an was finally resolved satisfactorily. With such an ending, some people were happy and some were worried. In the Prince of Qin's Palace, all the direct descendants of the Prince of Qin's Palace were sitting with frowns on their faces. There, everyone was silent and staring in a daze.
"Alas,,," a long sigh came from Tang Jian, the oldest among the people. It was seen that Tang Jian had completely lost his usual calmness and wisdom at this moment. There were also more wrinkles on his face and more white hair on his head. A lot. It seems that Tang Jian spent a lot of time during this period. After Tang Jian sighed, he glanced around the people present with a look of helplessness, and finally shook his head and said: "I have no idea that this matter has reached this point. When I think of it, it’s really, really, ugh,”
Tang Jian was halfway through his words, but he couldn't say any more. He sighed again, and Zheng Rentai, who was beside him, also quickly advised: "Master Tang, you don't have to blame yourself. You can't blame Master Tang for this matter. No one expected it." , someone would dare to rush into the Yuan family and Dugu family and kill people,"
Hearing Zheng Rentai mention this matter, there was another sigh in the hall. This time it was not just Tang Jian who sighed, almost everyone present was sighing too. At the beginning, Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing The fight on Zhuque Street was all arranged by Tang Jian and others. The purpose was to use the fight between the two families to attract Li Yuan's attention to Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan just happened to regard enthroning and proclaiming himself emperor as his top priority at the moment. When such a thing happened , Li Jiancheng will definitely be prohibited from continuing to win over important officials in the court. In this way, as long as it can be delayed until Li Yuan ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Li Shimin will definitely come back by then, and everything can be discussed in the long run.
Originally, this plan went smoothly at first, but unexpectedly, the news that Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing died at the same time suddenly came, which brought trouble to this matter that was still within Tang Jian's control. It became big, and the subsequent development was completely out of Tang Jian's control. With Li Yuan's strong methods, the Yuan family was frustrated, and the Dugu family was able to calm down. And Li Jiancheng has recently begun to frantically win over important officials in the court. The Qin Prince's Palace has already I was forced to the corner of a cliff.
"Damn it," thinking of the current predicament of Prince Qin's Mansion, the grumpy Gongsun Wuda couldn't help but cursed. He slapped the coffee table at hand hard, and heard a clang. The coffee table was slapped directly by Gongsun Wuda. Gongsun Wuda also shouted angrily: "If you let me know who did this, I will twist his neck off."
After Gongsun Wuda finished speaking, all the generals had the same idea. Although they didn't know who killed Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing, they already hated the murderer deeply. After all, Tang Jian He was a literati and was not interested in these fighting and killing matters. Instead, he said helplessly: "The most terrible thing is that the King of Tang now attaches great importance to Qian Que. I heard that he has handed over all the sales of tribute porcelain in the palace. "Given it to him, and he is the prince's son, this will invisibly expand the prince's strength. In this way, even if the prince comes back, it will be difficult to overcome this situation,"
"Hmph," Yu Shinan who was standing aside couldn't help but snort when he heard Tang Jian sigh, and hummed with dissatisfaction: "Those who pursue profits can also ascend to the hall of elegance. Chang'an is becoming more and more... The atmosphere is full of chaos. It's a pity that the prince is not here. Otherwise, I will definitely ask the prince to expel these treacherous villains from Chang'an to avoid ruining the purity of the court."
"Hahahaha, Mr. Yu thinks too highly of me. I don't have that much ability." Just when Yu Shinan was complaining, a burst of bold laughter suddenly came from outside the hall. Only five or six people were in sight. Ying walked in directly from the outside, led by a young man wearing golden armor, moving with the pace of a dragon and a tiger, quite impressive.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be startled when they saw the leader. Then they all looked happy, stood up directly, bowed to the man, and shouted in unison: "See you, Your Majesty."
The young man in golden armor was none other than the second son of Li Yuan, Li Shimin, the lord of Prince Qin's palace. At this moment, Li Shimin's face still looked tired, and his cheeks were stained with a lot of dust, but these did not damage Li Shimin's unique charm. Seeing everyone saluting, Li Shimin stepped forward, first helped up the eldest Tang Jian and Yu Shinan who was beside Tang Jian, and then said to the generals: "Everyone, please get up quickly. I am not here at this time. Thank you for your hard work."
When Li Shimin said these words, he did not deliberately modify them, but his words had a very comfortable feeling to them. Everyone felt warm in their hearts after hearing this. The previous worries and anguish also disappeared, and all the generals stood up straight. , Gongsun Wuda said to Li Shimin with excitement: "Your Majesty, when did you come back? Why haven't we heard any news?"
"Haha," although Li Shimin was exhausted from traveling for days, such a hearty smile immediately made him energetic. Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin sat directly on the vacant main seat and motioned to Tang Jian and others. He and the few people who came in with him all sat down and said with a smile: "After I finished handling the matter in Longxi, I led them over quickly. The army was handed over to Zhixuan's leadership. I slowly returned to the court. I We, Hou Junji, and the others rushed back first, and the scouts who reported the news were probably not as fast as us."
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Tang Jian and others were surprised and happy. Tang Jian also quickly asked: "Your Majesty, the matter in Longxi has been resolved."
Li Shimin nodded lightly and did not speak. However, Hou Junji, who came in with Li Shimin, smiled and couldn't help but said: "Of course it's solved, haha, you don't know, the prince has taken a cruel move this time. Li Gui also sent soldiers and horses to take over Jincheng. The prince directly ordered all Li Gui's soldiers to be stripped naked and driven back. Then he personally led the army to Liangzhou and defeated Xiping and Zhangye in one breath. He was so frightened that Li Gui immediately cowered in Wuwei and didn't even dare to fart. Haha, thinking about it now, I feel so happy, so happy."
After hearing what Hou Junji said, Tang Jian and others finally understood how Li Shimin handled this matter. Everyone looked shocked. Gongsun Wuda and other generals even clapped their hands and praised Li Shimin. Most of them did not follow Li Shimin. It was a pity that they all went to Liangzhou together, but Tang Jian asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, will there be any future troubles if you act so forcefully?"
But Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. After forcing Li Gui to return to Wuwei, I immediately sent a messenger to inform his father. You also know that since Li Gui became emperor, his father has treated Li Gui very seriously. I am very dissatisfied. This time I forced Li Gui to lose his face. Even if my father is a little unhappy with my methods, he will not be too harsh on me. This time I hurried back, but also for Chang'an. The matter needs to be resolved, and it is most appropriate to choose the lesser of the two."
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Tang Jian and others were filled with shame. It was his failure in doing things in Chang'an that caused Li Shimin to take risks. After returning to Chang'an, he would definitely be punished by Li Yuan. After all, this was still It was caused by their incompetence. Seeing the expressions of Tang Jian and others, Li Shimin immediately understood what they were thinking, but he smiled and waved his hands and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, I already know what happened here. It is indeed not your fault. Moreover, Mr. Tang’s strategy of winning in the chaos is very clever. It’s just God’s success that makes the success fail. But don’t worry, since I have come back, I will not sit back and watch the situation change. Oops,"
