Chapter 439 Punishment!
Another charge was repulsed by fierce firepower. Chai Lingwu looked in the direction of the Daming Palace unwillingly. The Daming Palace has a strong defense. Now that half of its manpower has been lost, it cannot shake the defense at all. The gunfire not far away is getting louder. As they approached, Chai Lingwu seemed to be in deep darkness. Their plan failed, and what awaited them would be the fate of the losers.
“Retreat, all retreat!” Chai Lingwu yelled, leaving the green hills so that he was not afraid of no firewood. After a short period of fear, he became a desperate gambler and decided to continue to resist after evacuating.
After receiving his order, the remaining 2,000 dead soldiers immediately escorted him and fled to the north gate. Although these soldiers had long been aware of death, they still felt timid in the face of this killing method as if they were harvesting lives. He fled Daming Palace in a panic, as if this place was hell.
The central army’s attack in the other three directions was very smooth. How could these temporarily pulled up rebels be the opponents of the regular army? Along the way, the central army beat the rebels to pieces like they were destroyed, and there were countless surrenders. Soon, the three armies converged in front of the gate of Daming Palace, ending the battle in Chang’an City, and at the same time, all the organizers of this operation were arrested.
“The Emperor.”
The event was initially decided, Li Yin returned to Daming Palace, all the ministers were surprised to see Li Yin coming back, the worry on Cui Yingying’s face melted like spring snow after seeing Li Yin, and then secretly hated Li Yin for not Telling her about this in advance made her shed tears.
Li Yan looked at Cui Yingying’s joyful and annoyed expression and apologized. Then he walked up the steps to the center of the hall and sat on the dragon chair. Now it’s time to explain to these ministers.
“My loves are shocked. Not long ago, I learned that the rebels were planning to assassinate me and overthrow the Tang Empire. In order to lure snakes out of the hole and wipe out these rebellious officials and thieves, I deliberately used the scheme. Let them think that their plan was successful, so that they were exposed to the public. In front of the people of the world, the rebel army has been defeated and the bandit leaders are all imprisoned, so you can go home with peace of mind.” Li Yin glanced at the officials and said loudly.
“I see!”
“These rebels are really hateful!”
“Simply audacious.”
“…”
Li Yin’s words caused the officials to discuss a lot. Cui Shao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “It’s good that the emperor is safe and sound. I just hope that the emperor has any plans in the future and can tell us in advance. This time we were really scared.”
“Hehe, I am also worried about the leak of the news. There will be no such thing in the future.” Li Yin did not notify anyone this time, and he also understood that he had indeed made many people sad for him, especially Concubine Yang. Maybe it was unavoidable to be reprimanded by Concubine Yang.
Li Yin is still fine, the ministers are relieved to go back, in a few days Li Yin is going to call a group of ministers to discuss the affairs of the court, and deal with these rebellions at the same time, so as to strengthen the discipline and shock the world.
scattered for a while. Dong Hao rushed over, they successfully ambushed the remaining rebels, Chai Lingwu was also arrested, and news of the defeat of the rebels came from all over the Tang Dynasty at the same time. The drama is over in just a few days, but some things are far from over.
“Wei King Li Tai participated in this rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. Sixteen years ago, he and Chai Lingwu led the dead to attempt to murder the emperor. Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai all confessed.” In the Tai Chi Palace, Rong Da was in front of Li Min Talking to Li Shimin about the results of the investigation just now, Li Yin once promised Li Shimin not to kill his brothers indiscriminately. But Li Tai participated in the rebellion, how to deal with it, Li Yin also wanted to hear Li Shimin’s answer.
Hearing this, Li Shimin seemed to be ten years old in an instant. The thing he had been worried about all these years still happened. Li Tai conspired to rebel and kill the king, which is a serious crime of beheading. Li Shimin can’t tolerate this matter anymore, because Li Yin is the emperor now, if he continues to speak for Li Tai, how will Li Yin think of him? Decide.” After finishing speaking, he stood up and left slowly.
Li Yin looked at Li Shimin’s hunched figure and sighed softly. For the sake of the stability of the country, he could not show any kindness this time. He told Li Shimin that he was just informing Li Shimin, because no matter what Li Shimin’s opinion was, Li Tai would not He wanted to kill him. He couldn’t tolerate a person who wanted to kill him twice alive. After he succeeded to the throne, he was good enough to Li Tai, but instead he would repay his kindness with revenge.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Yin decided to announce the results of these people’s treatment. At the same time, Li Yin attacked the noble families who participated in the rebellion in Datang, confiscated their properties, and sent them to prison. As long as all those who participated in the rebellion were arrested Speaking of it, although this rebellion caused some losses to Datang, this rebellion also gave him an excuse to completely eradicate the legacy of the powerful clan in Datang, and let the powerful clan be removed from the history of Datang. Therefore, Li Yin gave an order not to be merciful to these elite families who participated in the rebellion, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake, not let one go, and completely return Datang to a bright future.
“Your Majesty, bring the prisoners here.” In the early morning, the imperial guards reported to Li Yin when they brought more than a dozen prisoners into the Daming Hall.
Li Yin nodded, he glanced at the people below, all of them were familiar faces, he said: “Look at these people, among them are my brother, my sister, and my confidant Minister, just a few days ago, they conspired to murder me and replace me. It really chilled me. I was forced to leave Chang’an for Yizhou sixteen years ago. Sixteen years have passed since the king of Shu to the king of Chengdu. , and then to the King of Shu, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor. In these years, which one of my actions was not for the common people of the world, for the people of Liming, for your well-being, and you? Are you worthy of me?”
There was no sound in the court hall, and all the officials listened to Li Yin’s words, and cast their disgusted eyes on these kneeling criminal officials.
“Capitalist revolution, pursuit of freedom, hmph, is the heart, liver, intestines and lungs under your slogans really that clean? What you want is not the word rights!” Li Yin angrily said, “For your ambitions, you don’t care Don’t you feel a little bit guilty about the lives of tens of millions of people?”
After cursing for a while, Li Yin felt more tired than ever. He waved his hand and told the guards to stay the prisoner who was already trembling with fright. , Gao Yang waited for those who participated in the planning of the rebellion to be executed, all the nobles and nobles who participated in the plan would have their property confiscated, and no clansman within three generations could enter the court as an official. Li Yin’s order was tantamount to completely destroying the foundation of the nobles and nobles in the Tang Dynasty .
As for those Shangguanyi who did not rebel, but who had bad intentions at the critical moment, Li Yin dismissed them all and asked them to return to their hometowns, and they were not allowed to serve in the court. Li Yin did this on purpose. The Yizhou faction disintegrated with Shangguanyi’s dismissal, and the Chang’an faction must also be weakened. He didn’t want to see ministers controlling the government again, and completely got rid of the old habits of the old officialdom.
In the court, Li Yin dealt with the chief figures of the rebellion in public, while in other parts of the Tang Dynasty, the aftermath of the rebellion incident continued, and many big businessmen were arrested. They were more or less involved in this matter, or provided financial support , or provide arms, and this round of attacks by Li Yin also completely disintegrated the big capitalist group, allowing small capital among the people to have room for development, and the people who had no chance before also participated in the market competition. Because of the rebellion launched in the name of capital this time, Li Min became vigilant towards the capital market and further strengthened his control over the capital market. The true faces of these people analyzed the harm of capital controlling the country, so that the people of Datang could have a clear understanding of this incident, so that this demagogic thought would not have a place to continue to survive.
