Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3927 Power Distribution
After all, the crown prince is Zhengshuo of the empire. His Majesty Li Er granted him the power to oversee the country when he set out on an expedition. This time he defeated the Guanlong Mutiny, so he was naturally in charge of the court. Literate people can also know the details, and the panic caused by the mutiny is swift and stable.

But how could peace be so easy after such a massive mutiny?Just look at the fact that Changsun Wuji and other Guanlong bigwigs are leading the army to retreat to Zhongnan Mountain, and Chang'an City is under military control, so we can see that it will take time to resume daily life.

When the wolves and tigers of the Eastern Palace Liu led the officers and soldiers to rush into the various places, smashed those high gates and golden locks, and drove out the high-ranking, incomparably noble Guan Long's nobles and direct descendants wearing shackles and tied up in shackles. The ostentation made these nobles extremely embarrassed and lost their face, and the common people finally realized that although the mutiny came to an end temporarily, its deeper impact was extremely shocking.

Those powerful families with noble blood and respected status have all become prisoners of their ranks, and their treasonous act of raising troops to dethrone the prince will surely suffer a heavy price, and an unknown number of people will soon be killed for it.In particular, the various properties of various clans located inside and outside Chang'an were all seized, presumably most of them would be confiscated and fined afterwards.

Correspondingly, the officials and generals under Donggong's command leapt to replace most of the previous status and power of the Guanlongmen Clan.

One emperor and one courtier, such a huge change of power is nothing more than the "Xuanwu Gate Change" back then, and the sky is about to change.

Although there are not many people in the imperial capital who are literate, almost every family has some relatives on the scene. People, officials, and merchants all felt the impending thunderbolt, and each was silent, collectively silent.

……

On a rainy night, You Tunwei camp.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Prince Li Chengqian sat in the middle, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, Li Jing, Fang Jun, Li Daozong, Li Junxian and other important officials of the Eastern Palace lined up on the left and right, except for Li Jing and Ma Zhoushang who arrested Guan Longxungui in Chang'an City and restored the official office In addition to functions, Li Chengqian's team members are all present.

The Guanlong army in Chang'an City was wiped out, and the "Baiqisi" once again grasped the news inside and outside the city. Li Junxian accompanied the last seat and was reporting the situation in the city to the prince and everyone.

"Currently the people are safe and sound. Except that the Lifang adjacent to the Taiji Palace was severely affected by the war and many houses were damaged and collapsed, the rest of the Lifang remained intact. The Sixth Commander of the East Palace locked up Guanlong Xungui and seized the property throughout the process, causing a lot of turmoil, but It is still within the controllable range. It’s just that there is another matter that needs your Highness’s attention, and it cannot be ignored.”

Li Junxian looked solemn.

Li Chengqian asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Junxian paused, and said in a low voice: "The rumors about whether His Majesty was built in Chang'an City have already been circulated in Chang'an City, and the people are very concerned."

This turbulent and turbulent undercurrent is constantly brewing and accumulating inside and outside Chang'an, the ruling and opposition parties, and it seems to be calm on the surface, but it is actually a turbulent undercurrent.

And the origin of this undercurrent is the rumor that His Majesty Li Er has passed away that has been circulating among the army and the market...

Everyone in the tent was silent.

In fact, until now, no one has really received the exact statement about His Majesty Li Er's "death". less than.

But everyone knew that unless His Majesty had passed away, how would Li Ji dare to make those moves?
The prosperous age of Zhenguan was achieved by His Majesty Li Er, who spent more than ten years sleeping at night and working hard to rule. A few years ago, when Empress Wende was still there, the most honorable couple in the world even had to spend some money to save the cost of repairing the palace. Don't cut down on food and clothing, even the daily meals in the palace are strictly controlled, and there can be no waste.

Such hard work has created such a prosperous world, how can we sit back and watch others destroy it?
If His Majesty Li Er is still there, from the moment Guanlong raises troops, he will order the army of King Qin from all over the world to enter Chang'an, and he will also strictly order Li Ji to return to Guanzhong at a faster speed to stop the rebellion, instead of letting Li Ji procrastinate. It took more than half a year to arrive at Tongguan, and stood still again...

In the same way, if His Majesty is still there, even if Guan Long raises troops to try to dethrone the crown prince, how can His Majesty allow the East Palace to arrest hundreds of Guan Long's nobles and descendants one by one in the name of rebellion?Those were all heroes who followed His Majesty back then to fight the world. The common people can hate him for their own selfishness and cause the whole Guanzhong to be in dire straits, so they can just watch with cold eyes, but how could His Majesty let the East Palace cut off his wings?

His Majesty kept suppressing and weakening the Guanlongmen Clan because he was worried that they would be too powerful and could influence the court, but he would never kill the Guanlongmen Clan, because he was the most stable cornerstone of his emperor.

The people in Guanzhong are well-informed, so they naturally understand this truth...

Xiao Yu rubbed his brows, sighed and said: "If His Majesty really encounters something unbearable, if the news reaches Chang'an, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people will be disturbed and the government will be disturbed."

The Guanlongmen Clan was almost uprooted. This behemoth that had been entrenched in Guanzhong for more than a hundred years had unparalleled power. Once it collapsed, it would inevitably trigger a violent chain reaction.Just at this time, the news of His Majesty's death came, and the situation was extremely chaotic, and it was not an easy task to completely appease him.

He didn't reveal the second half of the sentence, because he didn't want Li Chengqian to mistakenly think that he was making demands for the Jiangnan clan, but the situation was like this. If he wanted to completely appease the people in Guanzhong and stabilize the operation of the government, someone needed to replace Guan Long.

The best choice is naturally that the disciples from the south of the Yangtze River enter the court in large numbers and take over the vacancy left by the Guanlongmen Clan...

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment.

Naturally, he could understand Xiao Yu's subtext, and he did not object to the children from Jiangnan entering the court.In fact, it was precisely because of Xiao Yu's strong support and perseverance in times of crisis that he stabilized the mood of the civil servants in the East Palace, and the civil service system did not completely collapse because of the rebel army approaching the city. Don't give up.

Moreover, Xiao Yu concealed this sentence and did not explain it to the public with the attitude of "please reward", which gave him room to maneuver, which made him very fond of it.

Even if it is a matter of course, no king is willing to be persecuted by his subordinates...

What troubles him is that if the entire Guanzhong is really panicked and turbulent because of the death of the father and the collapse of Guanlong, if the Jiangnan clan is brought into the court rashly, will the people in Guanzhong resist this and make the situation more out of control?
The Guanlongmen Faction has been entrenched in Guanzhong for more than a hundred years, and its forces are intertwined and deeply entrenched. It is by no means a matter of arresting all the nobles of Guanlong.

These people are not only inextricably linked with Guan Long, but also in charge of Guan Long's upper and lower powers. How can they be deprived of it with just a document?
Not to mention anything else, but only the subordinate officials and handymen in various yamen. Without the help of these people to handle practical affairs, those officials would be blind and unable to do anything...

It can be seen from this that the Guanlongmen faction is really full of confidence, knowing that even if the mutiny fails, Donggong will not dare to take it all away and kill them all.

Even if a behemoth like Guan Long is defeated now, he still has the power to resist against the powerful families in Jiangnan and Shandong...

"Cough cough,"

Fang Jun, who had been silent all this time, coughed lightly, which attracted everyone's attention, and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness really doesn't need to care about whether there will be turmoil in Guanzhong, because it's not that far yet, and there are still Changsun Wuji and other big bosses in Guanlong. With the remnants of the army retreating to Zhongnan Mountain, we hoped that the British Duke would think that they were still of some use so that we could forgive them. Our top priority is to clear up the remnants of Guanlong in Chang'an City, and immediately raise our troops to Zhongnan Mountain to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop. Decide the overall situation."

Xiao Yu nodded his head and agreed: "The Duke of Yue's words are correct. Guan Long raised troops to conspire against him, and he committed heinous crimes. Your Highness must not be merciful. You should take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy them."

It is inevitable for the Jiangnan family to enter the court in large numbers. Once the emperor and courtiers, when the crown prince takes power, it is natural to reuse the Jiangnan family who are loyal to him.

In fact, the best chance to enter the court is after the Guanlongmen Clan is completely wiped out, and joins the ruling court together with the Shandong aristocratic family behind Li Ji, to share the power vacancy left by the Guanlongmen Clan...

Li Chengqian frowned and looked at Fang Jun, who is Fang Jun?It can be called "lifting the beard and moving the tail", the most transparent and winking, immediately understood Li Chengqian's meaning, shook his head and sighed: "Song Guogong's thinking is simple, and it is not easy to destroy the remnants of Guanlong in one fell swoop? Chang'an city is full of Guanlong. My son, the power is huge and intertwined. The Six Commanders of the East Palace must ensure that there is no chaos in the city. It is impossible to mobilize troops to go out of the city to fight. The Right Tunwei has fought repeatedly since last summer, and every opponent can be called a strong soldier in the world. They won every game, but injuries are unavoidable, with lack of armaments and serious downsizing. In addition, not all the defeated soldiers in Guanlong retreated to Zhongnan Mountain with Changsun Wuji, and there are still many defeated soldiers running around in Guanzhong. , A group of three or five robbed houses, not only harming the people, but also seriously disturbing the disaster relief work of the "Royal Rescue Team". Therefore, troops must be sent to clean up. What's more, enough troops must be left to guard the Xuanwu Gate... In this way, the right guard can The dispatched troops are only [-], and it is impossible to wipe out the rebels who have retreated to Zhongnan Mountain in one fell swoop."

Xiao Yu stroked his beard with a gloomy expression.

The power of the fart is too weak!
Anyone who is not blind and deaf, who knows that the combat power of the Right Guards is the best in the world, even the most elite left and right guards in the Tang army are inferior. If they are willing to go all out to wipe out the rebels, is there any reason for that?The rebel army had a complete organizational system and a strong army and was beaten to pieces by the right guards, not to mention the remnants of the defeated generals and no morale...
