Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1119 The Beginning
July fourteenth.

Palace of Renzhi remained calm, and Li Yuan was quite enjoying these days recently. Although troubles still lingered in his heart, he would have to make another uncomfortable decision in the near future, but he had already made up his mind.

After a brief look at the memorials sent by Chen Shuda, the provincial servant who accompanied him, Li Yuan only disposed of three or two pieces, and all of them were sent to Shangshu Province by the palace servants. He found that Erlang was equally good at handling government affairs. , unlike his usual style of fighting bravely on the battlefield, he was not in a hurry, and the scale was very precise.

After walking out of the Cuiwei Hall, Li Yuan walked a few steps, and saw the King of Qi, Li Yuanji, not far away, wearing a hunting suit, holding a horse with a head in one hand.

"Sanhu, go hunting again?"

"Father is well." Li Yuanji walked over quickly and said with a smile, "I heard that a villager in the north has seen a black bear."

Li Yuan frowned, "Don't be reckless."

"Father, don't worry, I will bring more people with me, all of them are good at riding and shooting." Li Yuanji said carelessly: "I took the bear bile and dedicated it to my father."

Although Sanhu is unworthy of being a king, a minister, or even a general, he has filial piety. Li Yuan showed a smile and reminded: "Don't trample on the crops."

"Father, it's been so many years." Li Yuanji complained. When he was the governor of Bingzhou, he often trampled on fertile fields because of riding and hunting, which caused a lot of trouble.

At this time, someone from the palace came to report, and Si Nong Shaoqing Yu Wenying came to see him.

Li Yuanji's face changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly, this guy came too fast, too early.

A moment later, Yu Wenying trotted over with a look of panic on her face, and Li Yuanji scolded her before she could speak: "It's unbecoming to be so flustered!"

Li Yuan didn't say a word. Yu Wenying was recommended by Sanhu to rise up again. In the concept of this era, he is the disciple of King Qi... This kind of concern has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty, and has been passed down to this day.

Yu Wenying touched the beads of sweat on her forehead, apologized repeatedly, and then saluted: "Your Majesty, I sent a small official to Yijun County to urge the grain and grass. Just after I got the report, hundreds of people rioted."

"What?" Li Yuan frowned. The night before yesterday, Chai Shao reported that there was not much food in stock, and Sinong Temple sent people to urge the food, and this kind of thing happened.

Li Yuan was slightly wary, "What's going on?!"

"I don't know the details yet." Yu Wenying said hesitantly: "It is said that the rural population is starving and the people are hungry."

Li Yuan pondered in his heart that last year and this year, the war lasted for more than half a year, and he mobilized a large amount of grain and grass from Guannei Road for the front line, and also mobilized grain and grass from various places to Suizhou, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou, which had just been recovered, to appease the people. Therefore, it is indeed possible for the hungry people to riot in July, when there is a shortage of crops.

Guessing that the target of these rioters was Dacang in Yijun County, Li Yuan was a little annoyed, but he didn't take it to heart, and just cursed, "What is the governor of Fangzhou doing!"

At this time, Prime Minister Yang Gongren who had rushed over said, "Your Majesty, Fangzhou is close to Jingzhao. I'm afraid the governor would not dare to deploy troops rashly."

This sentence is quite euphemistic. It is actually saying that you, the emperor, are escaping the summer heat in Fangzhou. How dare the governor of Fangzhou use his troops so much?
Moreover, Fangzhou is not on the front line, unlike Lingzhou, Yanzhou, and Daizhou, which do not have a standing army. The governor of Fangzhou probably does not have many troops in his hands, and he needs military talismans to call the government soldiers.

Li Yuan nodded, "Do you remember that you belonged to the prince?"

"Yang Wenqian." Li Yuanji replied: "My child knows this person. He was the bodyguard of the eldest brother in the early years, and later served as the governor of Mozhou. A few years ago, he was transferred back to the pass to serve as the governor of Fangzhou."

Li Yuanji's eyes lit up suddenly, "Father, there are only a few hundred rioters, my son, let's go!"

"You?" Li Yuan hesitated.

In fact, Li Yuan felt that Li Yuanji was the most suitable candidate for a very simple reason. After all, Yang Wenqian was the only state-level chief official of the East Palace lineage in the pass, and the other was Xue Wanche who led the army in Xiazhou.

If the generals from King Qin's lineage are allowed to quell the chaos at this time, there may be some troubles, and Li Yuan will completely resolve the dispute after returning to Beijing. If any troubles arise at this time, Erlang may not Letting go of this opportunity...and Li Yuan has no plan to kill his son.

Chai Shao is also suitable, but he is not suitable to lead the army to fight the chaos in order to control the Beiya imperial army and protect the Renzhi Palace, so from this point of view, Qi Wang Li Yuanji is indeed the most suitable.

However, Li Yuan has little confidence in this son's ability. Of the three sons, Erlang needless to say, Dalang seldom goes out to war, but he also knows military strategy and knows how to advance and retreat. Only Sanhu...Although he loves this son, Li Yuan has to admit , too mediocre.

Mediocre is a good way to say it, but it's a waste if it's not good.

"Father, after all, Yu Wenying was recommended by my son." Li Yuanji looked forward to it, "This time I also brought nearly a hundred guards, all of whom are good at riding and shooting..."

Li Yuanji chattered to ask for a fight, thinking that although there was an accident, when Yu Wenying came to report, he did not have time to leave the Phoenix Valley, but if he could lead the army to quell the chaos, then the next thing would be easy.

Li Yuan hesitated for a long time before nodding his head and said: "Nearly a hundred guards are not enough, you choose five hundred soldiers from the Beiya Imperial Army... who will be the general?"

Li Yuanji thought for a while, "General Zuo Qianniuwei Yu Wenshao, or Li Sixing?"

"Li Sixing is good at maneuvering and has a good understanding of military strategy, so he can be the main general." Li Yuan nodded, "Yu Wenshao is good at fighting, so he can be the deputy general."

Li Sixing was born in the Li family of Zhao County. As early as the Sui Dynasty, he avoided Taiyuan and took shelter under Li Yuan's family. Later, before Jinyang raised troops, Li Sixing inquired about the military situation in Chang'an, and later served as the third army of the left. He defeated Song Laosheng and broke Chang'an. Meritorious service, listed in Taiyuan Yuanmou meritorious officials, and was named Duke of the county.

Yu Wenshao was Li Yuanji's disciple in his early years. He participated in the Battle of Luoyang, and was even transferred to Li Shimin's side because of his bravery and skill in fighting. He made a lot of achievements in the Battle of Hulao. It is not regarded as the lineage of the King of Qin, but has some contacts with the prince. He once accompanied Li Jiancheng to conquer the Turks who conquered the Great Zhenguan in the fifth year of Wude.

Li Yuan was very satisfied with the two candidates proposed by Li Yuanji, one was an official of Prince Qi's mansion, and the other was a subordinate of King Qi, and was also an old department of King Qin and the prince.

After Li Yuanji set off with more than [-] troops, Ling Jing got the news from Li Shimin, with no expression on his face, but yelled in his heart.

Su Dingfang has already calculated that the trilogy of King Qin and the generals plus the troops of Qianniuwei on the left and right is about 1000 to [-], but now that Li Yuanji has taken away [-] forbidden troops, there are only [-] to [-] troops left. , how long can you keep it?
Will Huairen come over in time?
