Chapter 90 This is just the beginning(1/2)

The impact of the fight between the two armed forces in Luoyang is far from being limited to Luoyang.

After the New Year's ceremony for worshiping heaven, Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Justice, took the lead in the court to impeach Li Yanqing's arrogance and disrespect the order.

"The King of Henan relies on his identity as a royal family and is proud of his contributions.

First, he was guilty of resisting the imperial edict and not coming to Chang'an. Later, he was at the foot of Jingzi Mountain and killed the generals in the army for his own personal self. After Luoyang pacified, he even promoted the army to cause trouble, and even ordered Luoyang merchants to stop the market to exclude the Qin King. This was a great rebellion and was not done by the ministers, and he should be executed according to the law. Otherwise, in the long run, everyone would follow the example of the King of Henan, how could His Majesty remain? Where is the majesty the imperial court?”

Liu Zhenghui was an old minister of the Yuan Dynasty in Taiyuan. He has been loyal to him since Li Yuan took charge of Taiyuan.

At the same time, he was also a child of the Liu clan of Tang County, Hebei Province. It is said that his distant ancestor can be traced back to the ancestor of the Yulong clan Liu Lei in the Tang Yao period.

Although it has declined now, it is still considered a big family.

When Liu Zhenghui was in Taiyuan, he loved Li Shimin quite a lot. In history, this person ranked 21st among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, still above Xu Shiji. He was in the Wude Hall, with his hair and beard, and his roar was filled with righteous indignation, and he was not afraid of Li Yuan's gloomy face.

Before Liu Zhenghui finished speaking, he walked out of the court officials. He was one of the old ministers of the Yuan Cong in Taiyuan, Pei Ji.

"Shangshu Liu spoke out loudly and was beheaded according to the rules.

However, among the twelve laws established by Your Majesty in Chang'an, what else did the King of Henan violate? Pei Ji didn't know how to argue for the resentment of the order, but I knew that killing people to pay for their lives was the duty of a Son of Man. If the King of Henan really ignored it, I am afraid you would jump out again. Impulse the King of Henan to impeach the King of Henan to be contrary to human relations... and be arrogant? If the King of Henan had not occupied Xingyang and opened up the Central Plains for the court, the war situation in the Central Plains would still be confusing. Although the young king of Henan had done something impulsive, it was reasonable in my opinion.

When Liu Ni raised troops to cause trouble, if Lord Liu insisted on Jinyang, would the young master have to drink and have a chat with his father-killing enemy?"

When Song King Kong conquered Jiexiu, Liu Zhenghui was captured by Liu Wuzhou.

In the Battle of Hou Baibi, Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and Liu Zhenghui and another Yuan congregation minister, former Sima of Shaanxi Province, were released by Yuchi Gong.

Pei Ji's words were so vicious that he pointed directly at Liu Zhenghui's weakness.

King Yong was still able to die in battle and die in his country. As an old minister of Yuan Dynasty, you, Liu Zhenghui, is still alive until now... God knows what's wrong with this.

Liu Zhenghui heard this and his face turned red.

Pei Ji pointed at him and said, "Pei Xuanzhen, don't be slandered."

"Where am I swearing? I'm just explaining a hypothesis.

Your Majesty, the King of Henan has made great contributions. His biological father died in Shanzhou, but he was not allowed to avenge him. The King of Henan is pure and filial, which is known to the world. When his grandfather passed away, he was able to quit his bright future and stayed in Tianling Mountain for three years. Now that his biological father has been killed, it is reasonable for him to avenge his father. Although his behavior is a bit reckless, he must be forgiven... However, what Lord Liu said is not unreasonable. The King of Henan went against the will of the holy king, so he could come to Chang'an immediately, fined him a salary for one year, and let him think behind closed doors."

Pei Ji cleverly replaced the disrespect of the order and violated the holy intention, which had a huge difference in meaning.

To resist the order and disrespect is a death sentence; to violate the holy will, it can be said that Li Yanqing did not understand or understood Li Yuan’s meaning incorrectly. One has the intention and the other has no intention, so it is naturally not the same.

Of course, Li Yuan knew the difference between these two words and followed the flow and said: "What Xuanzhen said is extremely true, and it should be like this."

Although Liu Zhenghui was dissatisfied, he did not dare to jump out and blame him again. Pei Ji was a sharp-tongued guy, and he had a clear attitude to defend Li Yanqing. Was he arbitrarily making a move? Or was he under Li Yuan's instructions? Liu Zhenghui didn't know. But he knew that if he continued to pursue the matter, it would be a bit more complicated. If he didn't do it well, the finger would point at him.

Liu Zhenghui withdrew, but Changsun Shunde stood up.

He knelt on the dot, presented memorials with both hands, and cried with his head, "Please make the decision for the old minister."

"Duke Xue, what are you doing?"

"The old minister received a letter from Luoyang family yesterday. My nephew Changsun Wuji made a marriage with Xue Ying, the daughter of Xue Daoheng. A few days ago, when Wuji was preparing a bride gift on the street, he was besieged by the generals of the Tiance Mansion family. He was seriously injured and could not stay yet. Please ask Your Majesty to seek justice for Changsun's family."

"Wuji?"

Li Yuan was stunned, "But he descendant of Ji Sheng?"

"It's Ji Sheng's youngest son."

"His he got engaged to the daughter of Xue?"

“That’s right!”

In the court, the minister who was originally inclined toward the Tiance Prefecture couldn't help but frown.

Xue Daoheng is indeed cold in the bones, but his reputation in the scholars is still very good. Xue Daoheng was very caring about scholars during his lifetime. Many people in the court were guided by Xue Daoheng. Changsun Shunde called Changsun's family, which was actually equivalent to joining the Xue family in Hedong to seek justice from Li Yuan. Both families are very popular. But the Changsun family is very troublesome, and the Xue family...

Li Yuan had no choice but to comfort him and promised to give Changsun Wuji a fairness.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuan suddenly asked, "The prince thought, what should we do about this matter?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, "Erlang conquered Luoyang, and now he needs to stabilize the situation. Since he had a conflict with Yangzhen, it would be better to issue an edict by his father and order Yangzhen to come to Chang'an immediately. Lord Liu said it well. If Yangzhen stayed in Luoyang, he would be afraid that the conflict with Erlang would be deeper. It would be better to let him return to Chang'an to stabilize the situation in Luoyang. Now that Xiao Yang is united in Jiangnan, Luoyang is not suitable for chaos..."

After saying that, Li Jiancheng bowed and retreated.

Judging from the current situation in Luoyang, it is difficult for Li Yanqing and Li Shimin to coexist.

The dispute between the two is really too big. If you continue to stay in Luoyang, it will probably make the situation worse. However, should you let Li Shimin come back or Li Yanqing come back? Li Yuan has not made up his mind yet. Li Jiancheng suggested that Li Shimin stay in Luoyang, but Li Yuan was worried that Li Shimin would not be able to keep the situation... After all, Li Shimin has offended the gentry of Luoyang now. If he stays in Luoyang, it will probably cause more conflicts. But Li Jiancheng is still very happy to take care of his brothers. In contrast, Li Shimin, who is heroic but aggressive, seems to lack sufficient respect for Li Jiancheng, which makes Li Yuan unhappy.

"Let me think about this matter again."

"Your Majesty, whoever stays in Luoyang or the King of Henan can be decided for the time being.

However, the situation in Luoyang is now settled, and officials need to be sent as soon as possible. As long as the court appointed officials, the matter will be transformed. Otherwise, if it is delayed, the King of Qin and the King of Henan are both in a strong age. If there is a conflict, it will inevitably lead to chaos."

In fact, Luoyang's stability is also extremely important to Guanzhong.

If the materials from the Central Plains are transported to Guanzhong, they must be transferred from Luoyang; and the wealth from Guanzhong must also be exported to the Central Plains from Luoyang.

The gap between the two troops is deep, and it is difficult to protect the turmoil that will arise and need to be pacified as soon as possible.

In the next step, Li Tang's goal will be in Jiangnan. Therefore, the peace of Luoyang has become the key to ensuring the war of unification.

"The Lords think, who can take office in Luoyang?"

"Qu Tutong, the Minister of War, is the most suitable."

In history, Qu Tutong and Li Shimin joined forces to pacify Wang Shichong. It was in that battle that Qu Tutong and Li Shimin formed friendship. However, now Qu Tutong is left in Hedong, and in comparison, he has more interactions with Li Jiancheng. But he is not the same as Li Jiancheng, but more loyal to Li Yuan. Therefore, when Li Jiancheng recommended Qu Tutong, Li Yuan responded without hesitation.

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to win over Li Yangzhen? Why did you want your second brother to stay in Luoyang again in the court?"

After the court meeting, Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace.

The seventeen-year-old King Li Yuanji caught up with Li Jiancheng and marched side by side.

The guards took a conscious step back twenty steps to facilitate the conversation between the two brothers.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Sanhu, do you think that if Yangzhen leaves Luoyang, Erlang can sit firmly in Luoyang?"

"Can't it..."

"Erlang's current situation is not just a conflict with Yangzhen. His beating Changsun Wuji is equivalent to a crack with the Luoyang Shizhou. If he wants to stay in Luoyang, he must hand over the murderer who beat Changsun Wuji, otherwise he will not be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang at all.

With Erlang's character, do you think he will bow his head to those gentry?"

Li Yuanji stroked Qing's chin and laughed, "The second brother is tough, I'm afraid he won't bow his head."

"If he doesn't bow his head, the more trouble he will be.

Even with the help of Qu Tutong, it may be difficult to gain a foothold. Moreover, I hope Yangzhen will take over the Beiya, and now is a great opportunity.

When Erlang can't stay in Luoyang and come back, he will find that the overall situation in Chang'an has been decided and he will find that he will not be able to cause any storms. Besides, Erlang is my brother. Although Yangzhen is also a brother in my clan, compared with Erlang, there is still a gap in the relationship, right?"

Li Jiancheng changed his tone, but Li Yuanji suddenly didn't react.

Li Jiancheng's move is very beautiful. Zi said that his brother is friendly and respectful. His brother-in-law is biased towards Li Shimin, and to outsiders, he has nothing to say. Not only can he get Li Shimin into trouble, but he can also gain a good reputation and gain Li Yuan's praise. Why not do it?

Li Yuanji woke up after a moment, paused and stroked his palm.

"Brother, it's really brilliant!"

He took a few steps and caught up with Li Jiancheng.

While whispering, the two walked towards the East Palace. Just as they were about to arrive at the East Palace, an eunuch suddenly ran from behind and said breathlessly: "Crown Prince, Your Majesty has urgent matters. Please go to the court pavilion to discuss matters immediately."

The court pavilion is located in the West Courtyard of the Palace Castle.

Li Jiancheng said in surprise: "What's the matter with my father?"

"The King of Qin submitted a memorial and asked to return to Chang'an, so he asked the prince to go."

"Erlang asked for an order to return to Chang'an?"

Li Jiancheng frowned and said to himself: It seems that Erlang has become much more calmer than before. It is not easy to know the word "giving up"!

On the 26th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Wude, Li Yanqing took his family from Gong County and arrived in Luoyang.

Xiaonian gave birth to a daughter at the beginning of the first lunar month and named her Yuzhen. Li Yanqing originally planned to stay in Gong County and set off after Xiaonian recovered. However, he did not want the imperial edict in Chang'an to convey it. Li Yanqing had to rush back to Luoyang to receive the edict immediately, so he had to set off early and return.

Pei Cuiyun's body is inconvenient, but she can still move.

So after some discussion, Pei Cuiyun, Changsun Wugui and others went to Luoyang with their families.

However, the old houses in Gong County cannot be discarded, and no one dares to invest in it. After considering it, Yan Qing simply changed the old house to a Qilin Villa as a royal palace. Since Luoyang has been pacified, Xu Wenyuan, a doctor of the Qilin Museum, decided to return to Luoyang. It is not easy to find a suitable person to replace the Qilin Museum. In addition, the attractiveness of Luoyang is far beyond that of Gong County. Even though Gong County has expanded a lot now, many people are still willing to choose Luoyang instead of Gong County in terms of fame.

Let’s just move the Qilin Pavilion to Luoyang!

After discussing with Chai Xiaohe, Li Yanqing made up his mind.

Although Gong County is good, it is not as prosperous as Luoyang. Qilintai is hidden in Luoyang and can collect more information and information...

Furthermore, the two white-clothed Maitreya guardians of Longqi, Xiangzhou (i.e. Hejian County, Sui Dynasty), Wen Yudong, were preparing to come to see Duoduo. The location of Gong County is too obvious, and it is easy for people to guess the existence of Li Yanqing. But if placed in Luoyang, it can better cover up Li Yanqing's identity. This also adds a bit of safety factor and is more appropriate for Qilintai.

However, the relocation of the Qilin Pavilion is not an easy task.

Li Yanqing left Chai Xiaohe with full responsibility, and then the family arrived in Luoyang.

"Let me stay in Luoyang?"

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little confused.

In his opinion, Li Yuan should not leave him in Luoyang, but should be transferred back to Chang'an.
To be continued...
