Chapter 25 Li You's Rebellion

Li Shimin completed a series of major political events of the deposed crown prince and demoted the King of Wei and appointed King Jin at a rapid speed, which made the temple stable.

But many minor details still need to be dealt with slowly, such as the legacy of the Eastern Palace that Li Chengqian said was in charge, and Hou Junji's post-liquidation of the Right Guard.

These are all necessary.

Of course, the most important ones are the King of Qi Li You who is far away in Qi and the King of Han Li Yuanchang of Bashu.

They were Li Chengqian's foreign aid. Li Yuanchang governed Western Hanzhou, Huazhou, Liangzhou and Longzhou, and had the military and political power of these four prefectures. The King of Qi Li You even supervised the military affairs of the five prefectures including Qi, Qing, Lai, and Mi. The land of Qingxu, Qi in which he was located was the economic center of the east, and his strength should not be underestimated.

These aftermath issues need to be dealt with little by little.

Xu Qidan was the assistant to the Eastern Palace and was captured by Hou Junji. It seemed that it had nothing to do with Li Chengqian's rebellion, but no one dared to let him go easily.

Li Yuanai couldn't guarantee that Xu Qidan was really not Li Chengqian's person, but he agreed to plead for him outside the Zhuque Gate. Everything is going to be stable now, and we can't be treated as if we don't know anything.

Li Shimin couldn't sleep last night, but was still dealing with the aftermath.

Li Zhize read the memorials moved from the Prince's Mansion.

Li Shimin established Li Zhi simply to protect his three sons and did not consider it in the long run. But now things have become a foregone conclusion, and Li Shimin also began to make up for Li Zhi's level of governance, throwing all the memorials that Li Chengqian had handled since he was in charge of the country within this month to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi is still young and he is not old. He has time to study, which is also his confidence to sacrifice himself.

Li Shimin's original attention to Li Zhi was limited to his academic performance and his level of governing the country was never considered.

Therefore, Li Shimin had no hope for Li Zhi's level of governing the country and was ready to start from scratch.

But I didn't know that I never avoid suspicion when dealing with government affairs in front of Li Zhi. Under the influence of his eyes, this third son, who was not visible and unrestrained, had already established a certain foundation.

Li Zhi handled most government affairs with ease, which surprised Li Shimin and was particularly happy.

When Li Yuanai learned that Li Yuanai was returning, Li Shimin didn't think much about it and asked him to come in directly.

After this series of things, Li Shimin felt that his father had left so many brothers, and he was the closest to him, and he was able to do practical things and helped a lot.

Li Yuanai did not hide his intentions. He still had awe of his second brother. If he could, he would not fool him. He explained Xu Qidan's affairs in detail: "This brother promised to speak to him, but to be honest, I am not sure if he has any problems. Anyway, I asked him for love, and it is the matter of the emperor."

Li Shimin laughed in silence: "You boy don't want to break your trust, but you let the emperor be this bad guy, and you think so beautifully."

He thought for a while and said, "Xu Qidan, I have a deep impression of him. He is a talented person. He is a postmaster of the Crown Prince, or has just taken office. What else can he do? Go and talk to the Dali Temple Minister and let him go. The official position remains unchanged, and he is still a postmaster of the Crown Prince. Let him be a companion with Zhinu." He thought for a while and said to the eunu next to him: "I will give you instructions later and give Xu Qidan a privilege to enter and exit the Lizheng Hall." Then he said to Li Zhi: "There is a little chaos in the East Palace now, so don't rush to move over. Just accompany your father in the Lizheng Hall and do the work of the Crown Prince."

Li Zhi happily agreed.

Seeing that things went so well, Li Yuanai did not disturb the father and son and said goodbye and left.

Li Shimin watched Li Yuanai leave and suddenly said, "I remember Xu Qidan has a sister."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I heard from Xu Chongrong that all the brothers and sisters are talented, and Jiangnan regards them as the Ban family of the Han Dynasty."

Li Shimin said: "Your sixteenth uncle is not young anymore, it's time to get married. I'll ask Xu Chongrong to be a matchmaker. It's also a good story for this sister to marry her brother."

With Li Shimin's oral order, everything is easy to do.

Li Yuanai found Sun Fujia and conveyed the sage.

Xu Qidan is the most innocent one, and he does not exist in the confessions of Li Chengqian, Helan Chushi, Hegan Chengji, and Zhang Sizheng.

According to the current situation, Xu Qidan was acquitted and released in the past few days.

This would be even simpler with Li Shimin's oral order.

Sun Fujia directly approved the release document and released Xu Qidan.

Xu Qidan suffered this unrestrained disaster and looked sad. After all, he was a young man in his early twenties. He had limited pressure in his heart. Even though he was innocent, he could not help but think too much and suffered in the prison cell.

After leaving the prison, tears of emotion flowed. Xu Qidan thanked Li Yuanai very much and kept bowing, saying, "Your Highness the King of Shang is so kind that Qi Dan will never forget you. I wonder when your Highness will be free. Qi Dan will prepare a banquet in the mansion to welcome your Highness to thank you for your kindness."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Li Yuanai did not reach the end of the day, and saved Xu Qidan only for one promise at that time, not for a meal.

He waved his hand and separated from Xu Qidan.

The sequelae of Li Chengqian's rebellion also began to ferment.

Although Li Shimin solved the internal problems in the temple in the shortest time, the external factors remained there.

After learning that Li Chengqian had been demoted, King Li Yuanchang of Han carried accusations and came to Chang'an to apologize in person.

King Li You of Qi directly killed the Quan Wanji Sacrifice Banner whom he had already wanted to kill, and raised the banner of rebellion.

He established himself as emperor with a good manner, recruited men over fifteen years old in the city, appointed his confidants, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, and Yan Hongliang as the upper pillar state, and appointed his uncle Yin Hongzhi as the prime minister Kaifu Yitong Sansi and other officials, opened the treasury to reward, drove the people into the city as soldiers, and arranged official offices. It was a big deal.

When Li Shimin received the news, he was so angry that one Buddha was born. The two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and immediately made a decision in the temple and ordered: Li Ji, the Minister of War, as the main secretary, and Li Yuanai, the Minister of Works, as the auxiliary, as the assistant minister, to set up a war, and to fight against Li You, the King of Qi, as well as the soldiers of Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, and Hai, to fight against Li You, the King of Qi.

After Li Shimin's appointment, Li Yuanai was completely stunned. How could he still have his own share?

It is understandable that Li Ji went there, what does it have to do with him?

Li Shimin did not puzzle Li Yuanai for a long time. When he asked him to enter the inner hall for dinner, he explained: "For the matter of Chengqian, 16, you have made great contributions, but some of the contributions are inconvenient to study them in detail. You will follow the British Duke to Qingzhou to have a good time, and you will be promoted to you when you come back and you will be named a general."

OK!

Li Yuanai still accepted this explanation and said, "It's just that my brother is worried that there is no need for the British Duke to take action. Before the imperial army arrived, the rebels themselves collapsed."
