Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 442
After being rescued, Lin Sen didn't delay any longer in Chang'an City. In the current situation, Lin Sen didn't want to get involved anymore. He had already been deeply involved, so it's better to wait for the follow-up of the matter. This sensitive moment should not be too high-profile.

After a brief greeting with Cheng Yaojin, Lin Sen went straight to the Lin family village. He was still worried about the situation of Cheng Huaiyu's mother and son, and wondered if they were safe.

Cheng Yaojin still has a heavy responsibility to clear up all the lawlessness on the street. In a chaotic moment like this, not only the rebels come forward, but also some courageous guys who are so courageous that they run out to fish in troubled waters. Do some smashing and looting to create chaos.

When this happens, they must be regarded as rebels and killed together. Such bastards often end up worse than those soldiers who really rebel.

After all, there are so many soldiers, and there is a saying that the law does not punish the crowd. Relatively speaking, the chances of getting a lighter punishment are quite high.

At this time, the bastards who ran to the street were different. Their existence was the biggest factor of instability. They were afraid of causing some bad chain effects, so they basically killed their mistakes and never let them go.

It is necessary to use such a high-pressure method to suppress the restlessness of other people.

Most of the soldiers Cheng Yaojin brought over were soldiers from other places, and there was no psychological pressure to do such a thing, and he would return to his hometown at some point, and he would not have many opportunities to deal with these people.

Unlike the garrisons in Chang'an City under Yu Chigong, most of them are locals around Chang'an City, the soldiers who rebelled, and the bastards on the street. There will be some timidity, fearing that it will not be ruthless.

This turned Cheng Yaojin's job into martial law, while Yu Chigong's side became a job of receiving and detaining prisoners.

A similar situation also happened in the imperial palace, but Zhang Shigui became the one who was ruthless and ruthless, while Xue Rengui and Li Chengqian became relatively favored existences.

Zhang Shigui is very clear about his position and cognition. As Li Shimin's absolute confidant, in the current situation, it is still very possible for him to retreat to the second line.

In this way, it would be better to memorize the infamy of killing and give Li Chengqian a chance to gain popularity. It can be regarded as leaving a kind of incense with Li Chengqian, and it can bring some lingering shadows to the children in the future.

Besides, after all, he has been the head of the Xuanwu Sect for so many years, and his prestige in the palace is still quite high. Let him take a heavy hand to stabilize the situation in the palace and identify those who participated in the rebellion, which will be more deterrent and convincing. , It also kept Li Chengqian away from the rumors that attacked dissidents.

In fact, the palace is even more chaotic than the streets of Chang'an City, not only because the rebels are stronger and more concentrated in the palace, but more importantly, the eunuchs and maids in the palace can be regarded as Enemies of the Emperor.

Because their main source is the family members of the criminal officials, or the family members of the former officials, who were originally a group of people who were quite hostile to Datang.

Living in the palace is even worse than cattle and horses. They don't see any rush at all. Under the hatred and high pressure, their human nature is a little distorted.

Once there is such a chance to make a fuss, then he will go crazy.

Therefore, the treatment of them is often more cruel than the treatment on the street, otherwise these crazy guys can't be suppressed.

Cheng Yaojin and the others did so, so it might be that they have concerns in this regard.

Think about the women and servants in Lin Sen's family. Among the many nobles in Chang'an City, his family can be regarded as the family with the least number of slaves in various forms.

It is not difficult to imagine that in Chang'an City, the number of slaves may be more than the number of civilians, and the emperor is equivalent to sitting on an oversized powder keg.

Those slaves were not much different from those in the palace in terms of background or experience, so it was not difficult to imagine their attitude towards the Tang Dynasty and the emperor.

Even though most of them will choose to live in obedience, the part that stands up and resists is truly crazy.

This is also an important reason why Tang Xuanzong and some other emperors chose to abandon Chang'an City without saying a word when facing the rebellion, and fled directly to Shuzhong.

It is also an important reason why Li Shimin arranged for Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin to bring heavy troops from outside to quell the chaos.The fear is that they will form a prairie fire.

Here they were busy cleaning up, while Lin Sen ran back to the earth building in a hurry.

The result did not disappoint him, Cheng Huaiyu's mother and son, with the support of the special team, successfully broke through the blockade and returned to the earth building.

And all the farmers have also withdrawn to the earth building, relatively speaking, the mood is quite stable, and there is a bit of a stance of fighting against the enemy.

After all, it was Lin Sen who led them to live such a good life, which was something they couldn't have imagined before.

There was something going on right now, so they naturally united around Lin Sen, the Patriarch, without hesitation.

Seeing that Lin Sen, the head of the family, also came back as the backbone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were lifted. Right now, even if they were to face an army of tens of thousands of people, they were absolutely confident that they would be able to overcome the difficulties. .

What's more, although the situation looks tense, it seems that the Lin family village is relatively deep into Zhongnan Mountain, and those rebels don't care about harming this place at all, so there is actually no disturbance here.

Seeing that Cheng Huaiyu and the others were safe and sound, Lin Sen was also relieved. In addition to leaving enough guards in the tulou, the other farmers could completely restore their previous state under Lin Sen's instructions, and go back to do what they should do.

Of course, the alert level of the entire Zhuangzi still needs to be raised a bit, and I am afraid that there will be those rebellious soldiers, or bastards who escaped in the chaos, and so on, will come here.

It's enough to maintain a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. At least you don't have to be like before.

Although Lin Sen didn't continue to get involved in the situation in Chang'an City, the news there was still gathering in his hands continuously.

Li Shimin personally came forward to rectify Li Chengqian's name, and once again announced in front of civil and military officials that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince could not be shaken and he would definitely be his successor.

In fact, he really had no other choice right now.

Li Tai, the little fat man who was originally loved by their husband and wife, died in this rebellion.

Li Zhi and his little wife, Wu Zetian, were identified as the main messengers of all this, and now they have been detained, and the end will definitely not be so optimistic.

Even Li Shimin might not intercede with this youngest son, because Empress Changsun died at the hands of this vicious son, and the emperor himself almost followed in the queen's footsteps.

With his love for Empress Changsun and his regard for imperial power, he probably hated Li Zhi, the youngest son, the most.
