Chapter 368: Being kicked out of Tai Chi Palace
Everyone saw Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's carriage to Liangyi Hall one after another and hurriedly went forward to salute.
Li Shimin sat in the car and said with a calm face: "All the people are flat, let's talk about it first."
After entering the palace, the ministers saluted Li Shimin and Li Chengqian again.
Li Shimin half-stuck on the Arhat bed, Li Chengqian sat next to him and said worriedly: "Father, let the imperial doctor show you first, it's not too late to take some medicine and then discuss state affairs."
Gao Shilian also said caringly: "Your Majesty's health is the most important thing!"
Li Shimin sighed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "My body is fine. Besides, the rebels outside are raging now. How can I feel at ease?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Chengqian and said with a complicated expression: "Although Chengqian is kind and filial, he is young after all. I cannot ignore this!"
Seeing that the ministers looked strange and thought there was something difficult, he said directly: "Okay, if you have any difficult things, tell me directly that with me in the Tang Dynasty, the country of the Tang Dynasty cannot change the sky!"
Gao Shilian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the rebellion outside the palace has been quelled, and all the rebels knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, and none of them ran away!"
Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Who ordered the imperial guards to leave the palace to quell the rebellion?"
Because the main battlefield tonight is Xuanwu Gate, the imperial guards of Chengtian Gate will be able to leave the palace to quell the rebellion after the Xuanwu Gate is pacified.
After the Xuanwu Gate was pacified, neither Li Shimin nor Li Chengqian ordered the imperial guards to leave the palace to quell the rebellion. Why was it already pacified?
Li Shiji was responsible for Chengtian Gate tonight. Hearing this, he knew that Li Shimin misunderstood and hurriedly went out and explained: "The imperial guards did not leave the palace, but the people of Chang'an City came out to defeat the rebels."
"The people of Chang'an City?"
Li Shimin became even more puzzled after hearing this.
Li Chengqian smiled and explained to Li Shimin, "I am worried that the rebels will plunder the people in the city, so I ordered the people of Longshouyuan Shang and Shengdaofang to come out to deal with the rebels, but they did not expect that they would directly quell the rebellion."
Li Shimin's expression was a little unnatural when he heard this, and he said, "These righteous people should also reward them!"
"My son obeys the order!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Seeing that Li Chengqian had misunderstood, Li Shiji hurriedly bowed and explained: "I will report to Your Majesty, in addition to the people of Longshouyuan and Shengdaofang, there are also tens of thousands of young men in Chang'an City who have also come out."
Li Shimin looked at Li Shi in disbelief and asked, "Maogong, are you saying that Ding Zhuang from Chang'an has come out?"
Li Shiji stopped hearing this, and then slowly said, "I don't know how many young people are, but there are always tens of thousands of people."
"Haha, the people of the Tang Dynasty were unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. I often say, "The people are water, the king is boat..." At critical moments, the people are still loyal to me.
After the rebellion of King Jing is pacified, I will issue an order for the people of Chang'an to exempt rent and tax for one year, and those who are over 80 years old will be rewarded with grain and silk."
Li Shimin personally issued a grand reward to get the historical books to record the matter in detail.
"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are kind and loving the people, naturally they are deeply loved by the people!" Gao Shilian hurriedly followed and said with interest.
Li Shimin smiled and nodded and said, "King Jing is my brother, and being deceived by a traitor and plotted to rebel is also my fault. However, the people of Chang'an can distinguish right from wrong, and going out to suppress the rebellion shows that I am not useless."
At the end of his speech, his expression couldn't help but dim.
No matter whether it is ruthless or not, it is not a good thing for brothers to fight. Since Li Chengqian has killed King Jing, Li Shimin must show his self-blame as his brother in terms of emotion and reason.
Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty is illuminating the candle. The Tang Dynasty is dominating the world. How can you teach the crown prince, who is as heroic and filial as the crown prince, how can you be ashamed of the world?
King Jing Yuanjing was selfish and stupid, and he dared to take a private eye for the supreme position. He should be punished by heaven and earth, so what does it have to do with His Majesty?”
Li Shimin sighed and said nothing.
Gao Shilian continued, "I heard from Your Majesty that the people in the city were very worried when they heard that King Jing was going to murder His Highness the Crown Prince and wanted to look at His Highness in front of Chengtian Gate..."
The more Gao Shilian said, the lower his voice, Li Shimin's face became stiffer and stiffer. Just now, he thought about the future history books recorded the rebellion of King Jing and the people of Chang'an helped the emperor to suppress the thieves. How shameful would he have to be?
But what if the subsequent records show that the troops were sent to combat the thieves because they wanted to protect the crown prince Li Chengqian?
Li Chengqian did not pay attention to Li Shimin's expression, and stood up and saluted to Li Shimin and said, "My son first go up the Chengtianmen Tower to meet the people of Chang'an!"
If Li Shimin hadn't insisted on coming to Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian would have gone out long ago. After all, whoever went out to stabilize the hearts of the people just now would have a higher prestige in the future.
...
...
Li Shimin seemed not to hear what Li Chengqian said, but looked at Li Jing and said, "The pharmacist is here too. Chengqian neglected that King Jing rebelled, and even you are not at peace, let alone the people of Chang'an?"
"Well!"
The ministers felt that the style of painting changed suddenly.
Li Jing laughed and said, "I am at the Royal Military and Political Academy. The students are very anxious when they hear that someone is rebelling. We have not received the order from His Royal Highness, so we sent someone to see if anyone is taking advantage of the chaos to rob."
Li Shimin nodded after hearing this and said, "The pharmacist is intent!"
"Duke Wei was so impressed that he actually captured Xue Wanche." Li Shiji said with interest from the side.
When Li Shimin heard about Xue Wanche, he couldn't help but sigh: "Xue Wanche turned out to be loyal and brave, and he didn't expect that he would be deceived."
Li Chengqian watched Li Shimin act and said dissatisfiedly: "Maybe it was because his father's military stick that beat him up."
Li Shimin was about to attack when he heard this, but he heard Li Jing say, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, and listen to where I captured Xue Wanche."
Li Shimin asked curiously when he heard this, "Where is it?"
"Outside Shengdaofang, Xue Wanche took his troops to grab the gunpowder workshop."
"ah!"
The ministers in the hall couldn't help but breathe a breath of air when they heard this. They had seen the power of gunpowder, so no one dared to covet gunpowder.
When Li Shimin heard that Xue Wanche was captured on the way to grab the flammable medicine, his face immediately turned ashen.
"I have always been good at Xue Wanche, so why did I have bad ambitions?" The ministers didn't dare to say anything when they saw that his face was wrong.
After a while, Li Shimin said quietly: "This Xue Wanche cannot stay, and I will punish Ming Zhengdian tomorrow."
"I will obey the order!" Xue Wanche was originally a death sentence, so naturally no one pleaded for him now.
After dealing with Xue Wanche and Li Shimin suddenly felt very tired, he said to Li Chengqian: "You will handle all the things that follow."
"My son obeys the order!" Li Chengqian saluted solemnly.
Li Shimin waved at Li Chengqian again and said, "My health is much better than the previous few days. Now you don't have to stay in Ganlu Palace to serve the sick. Move back to the East Palace to live!"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Father, the dragon body is ill, my son is going to serve you."
Li Chengqian lived in Ganlu Hall but did not serve Li Shimin in front of the bed every day, but he could use this to isolate Li Shimin from external contact unless he was willing.
Li Shimin said lightly: "As the prince of the governor, the most important thing is to deal with the government. I will be served by my third and ninth brothers."
Li Chengqian was still about to speak, but saw Li Shimin holding the eunuch up and saying, "I want to rest when I set up in the Ganlu Hall."
Li Chengqian could not only give him politely to his ministers.
