Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 700
Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin were dragged away by the Jinwu Guards, and then Li Shimin also retreated angrily, and followed Li Shimin and asked his eldest grandson Wuji to investigate Li You's affairs.

However, the investigation did find out, only after finding out that Li You's concubine Teng was indeed a mansion soldier, the others were not found out. As for the senior brother of Yu Changchang mentioned by Li Ke, the body was not even found. In the end it was nothing.

But at this time, some people headed by Cen Wenwen started to attend Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin to despise the court, hoping that Li Shimin would expel the three of them from Chang'an as a warning to others.

Li Shimin saw it, hey, this happened to be a reason, and then he directly ordered that Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin were deprived of one level because they despised the court, and then directly asked to return to their fiefdom.

Li Yin returned to his own Yizhou. This Yizhou, which is today's Sichuan area, was definitely not a sweet pastry in the Tang Dynasty.

In Yizhou at this time, another saying is that the land of Shu is difficult. The land of Shu has been dangerous since ancient times, and the transportation was not developed in ancient times. Think about what Tang Gaozu Li Yuan said when he privately promised Tang Taizong to change him as the prince. The reason for changing Li Jiancheng to the land of Shu was that "the land is remote and small and easy to control. If you can't serve you, it is easy to get ears." It can be seen how the land of Shu existed in people's hearts in the early Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Ke's return to Anzhou, this Anzhou is better than Yizhou, but the fiefdom of Li Ke and his brothers is not even as important as Li Yun's Xiangzhou. Anzhou and Xiangzhou are both in the Hubei area. Historically, Xiangzhou was the most important area in this area, and the Tang Dynasty was no exception. Li Xiaogong served as the general manager of Xiangzhou (Zuopushe of Xiangzhou Daoxingtai Zuopushe) when he pacified Jiangnan Xiaoxiao.

The fact is that the fiefdom of Li Ke and Li Yin is not even comparable to that of Li Yun, let alone with the three of Li Shen.

This shows from the side the situation of Li Ke and Li Yin brothers at this time. As for Li You, it is even worse. The ownership of the two workshops and the ownership of Hubenwei are deprived. It is like exile, let Li You go to Dengzhou, To become the governor of Dengzhou, he was not even given a governor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the governor of the state was called the governor, which is equivalent to the current high-ranking official. The Sima under the governor is an idle position and has no power. The governor has more power and can govern several states, which is equivalent to the current military commander. Li You's rights are only in Dengzhou, Li Ke's rights are in Anzhou, and Li Yin's rights are in Yizhou.

Three people have no other rights, which is a kind of sadness!

Two days later, Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin were released from the prison. Li Shimin issued an order in front of the prison door, ordering the three to leave Chang'an before dark and take all their belongings. If you leave Chang'an, you will be expelled.

This is not going to save any face for his three sons.

Even the three of them didn't even have time to visit their mother and concubine. Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin, two hard-working mothers, hugged each other warmly and cried together this time. A sad smile.

"The two bid farewell. I don't know when the next meeting will be, but we are still alive, so we will definitely meet again."

Li You took the lead in bowing his hands to Li Ke and Li Yin.

"Fifth brother, you need to develop Dengzhou well, I'm still waiting to go sailing the sea with you!" Li Ke looked at Li You with a smile.

"Me too, by the way, fifth brother, you said that our Shu brocade in Yizhou is good, and I will start to improve the brocade when I go back. By then, you will take away all my brocade!" After finishing speaking, Li Min He bowed his hands to Li You.

Li You chuckled: "No problem, third brother, sixth brother, farewell.!"

"Farewell!" Li Ke and Li Yin also bowed their hands, and then the two carriages parted ways. When Li You finally arrived at Dunhuafang, there were already crying in Dunhuafang, and all the people in Dunhuafang were reluctant. Li You left, but Li You had to leave.

Quan Zhixi, Chunniang, Xue Rengui and others have already taken care of everything together. Xue Rengui took his first division and followed Li You to leave Chang'an this time. Hubenwei's second and third divisions are still in Chang'an. With them , Li You would leave Chang'an with peace of mind, otherwise Li You would not worry about the people in Dunhuafang and Qinglongfang.

In addition to the 5000 people from the First Division of Hubenwei who followed Li You, their family members and people from Li You's iron smelting and building offices in Dunhuafang, there were a total of about 5000 people, which means that they followed Li You this time. About 1 people left.

Only Li You has such financial resources and can leave Chang'an with 1 people. It would be impossible for other people. Li Ke and Li Yin can bring thousands of people at most. Wuji originally wanted to stop it, but he wanted to keep everything.

However, at this time, Li Zhi became ruthless. When he met Changsun Wuji once, he looked at Changsun Wuji with fierce eyes and hoped that Changsun Wuji would not kill the grass, otherwise he would tell his father that Changsun Wuji was terrible.

This made Changsun Wuji a little apprehensive, he didn't want his image to collapse in the hearts of Li Shimin and Li Zhi, so in the end he didn't choose to kill the grass, but what Changsun Wuji didn't know was.

Li Zhi was not as simple as Changsun Wuji thought. In the following time, Li Zhi would almost always speak ill of Changsun Wuji quietly and inadvertently.

At the beginning, Li Shimin had great trust in Changsun Wuji. You must know that Li Shimin's trust in Changsun Wuji mainly depends on two points: First, when Li Shimin became the king of Qin and even earlier when Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, Changsun Wuji He has already begun to follow Li Shimin.Later, he followed Li Shimin through the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and ascended to the throne. He was granted the title of Duke of the State and held important positions at the same time.

The second is that Changsun Wuji's younger sister, Changsun Wuyou, is Li Shimin's empress. Empress Changsun can be said to be a good queen of a generation. As the prince, the eldest grandson Wuji has no reason to have two hearts and fight for power.In addition, Li Shimin's employment style has always been "employing without doubt", so Li Shimin should not have raised a guard against Changsun Wuji from the beginning to the end. One can see the clues in this incident.

But Li Shimin is old, and Li Shimin behind him is also suspicious. In addition, Li Zhi has always spared no effort to speak ill of Changsun Wuji. Constraints:

One, clarification: Permit Changsun Wuji to eliminate part of the actions of dissidents (but still give protection to veteran officials like Fang Xuanling), affirm Changsun Wuji's status as a minister of Tuogu, and ask Chu Suiliang to help mediate between Wuji and Wuji The relationship between the new emperor Li Zhi is just that Chu Suiliang did not do this.

Many friends said that Emperor Taizong asked Chu Suiliang to protect the eldest grandson Wuji. In fact, it is impossible to think about it carefully. The eldest grandson Wuji is an extremely human minister, and his disciples and old officials are all over the court. Chu Suiliang is Chu Liang, the eighteenth scholar of the Qin Dynasty. His son, in other words, Changsun Wuji's junior, how could he have the strength to protect Changsun Wuji, he hugged Changsun Wuji's thigh to be protected.

If Changsun Wuji knew how to advance and retreat, and Chu Suiliang reconciled properly, then Gaozong Li Zhi could get along with this uncle in a more harmonious way.

Two, dark: But during Gaozong's reign, Changsun Wuji's authority continued to increase, which seriously affected Li Zhi's authority as emperor.

At this time, the hidden line lying in front of Li Shimin was activated, and that was General Li Ji, also known as Xu Maogong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Changsun Wuji's authority is growing day by day, but there is one area that he can't reach and control, that is, the army. This is where Li Shimin dared to trust Changsun Wuji. Li Ji’s epitaph mentioned this matter), it’s just that he didn’t issue an edict as clearly as Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was a civil servant and had no authority in the army. Once Li Zhi sacrificed this card and Li Ji supported the emperor, Changsun Wuji would be helpless.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. In the political incident of the abolition of Wang Liwu, Li Ji said to the emperor, "Why do you need to ask outsiders about your Majesty's family affairs?"

Changsun Wuji didn't know what kind of disaster his actions would bring to the Changsun family in the future. After Li Zhi and Li Mingda got together, they would blame Changsun Wuji for his fifth brother's departure. Bogey's head.

Looking at Changsun Wuji's high-ranking and domineering appearance, both of them have no affection for Changsun Wuji in their hearts. They don't have time to send off their fifth brother, and they didn't even see them for the last time. Don't you know that the two How deep is the little guy's resentment.

Since then, Li Zhi and Li Mingda no longer smiled when they saw Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji still realized it later, thinking that these two little guys were just children at heart, and they would get better in the future.

But what Changsun Wuji didn't expect was that these two children never forgave Changsun Wuji for the rest of their lives, nor was it Li Zhi. Even though Li You had come forward to help Changsun Wuji intercede, in the end he did not beg for Changsun Wuji's life.

After all, Li Zhi hated Changsun Wuji too much. Although Li You also said a lot to Li Zhi, Li Zhi was very firm. In the end, Li You had no choice but Changsun Wuji himself was too arrogant up.

This also confirmed the foresight of Empress Changsun. From the beginning, she did not allow Changsun Wuji to have too much power, but she did not expect that it would be a failure in the end.
