Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

After occupying Heihuling, there are more than 400 young and strong people in the cottage. Li Zhao scattered them all and merged them into his own people. and promoted the soldiers of the Yongwang Mansion to be small commanders to strengthen control over the army. Let Liu Xuan and Zhou Wen be responsible for training young and strong.

After dawn, Li Zhao carefully inspected the Black Tiger Ridge. Heihuling was bigger than he had imagined, and there were at least five thousand people in the cottage. And there is still a lot of food in the cottage, enough for everyone to eat for two months. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, I finally had a place to stay, and I don't know what happened to King Yong, who returned to Chang'an.

.................................................

King Yong Li Qi failed to force the palace, escaped from Chang'an, and was arrested in only three days.

Li Zhao guessed correctly before, such a big crime as forcing the palace will definitely be severely punished by the imperial court. Most of the people who rebelled were killed, and Chang'an City was bleeding for a while.

In particular, the soldiers or cronies of the Yongwang Mansion were directly hanged on the city wall, and their bodies were exposed to the scorching sun to deter people with bad intentions. Before they died, many people deeply regretted returning to Chang'an City. knew that following Li Zhao at the beginning, even if he was a savage, it was better than no life. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

Nangong Yin and Liu Yingying, two daughters, held Li Zhao's letter of resignation and were not killed. They were allowed to return to the Nangong family and the Liu family respectively, but they were not allowed to leave their mansions for life without the emperor's order.

Li Zhao's brothers and sisters were all demoted to commoners and imprisoned in the Zongfu for life. It is estimated that in this life, it will be difficult to see the sun again. Bai was stimulated and soon died.

Today is early in the morning, Li Qi has a decadent face, bows his head, kneels on the hall, and no longer has the grandeur of the past.

Baiguan stood on both sides, and Li Kun, Emperor Tiancheng of Great Wei, sat on the throne and looked coldly at Li Qi below.

"Why rebel?" said Li Kun in a deep voice.

Baiguan thought to himself, this is not nonsense, of course he wants to be the emperor.

Li Qi also thought so in his heart, but how dare he say this, Nuo Nuo said: "Erchen is confused, confused by Zhao'er.

Li Kun said angrily: "It's ridiculous, as a father, you actually put the blame on your son, could it be that he is the king of Yong, don't you know shame?"

Li Qi lowered his head deeply and didn't dare to speak.

"What about Li Zhaoren? Why didn't you see him. In fact, Dugu Ling had already reported Li Zhao's matter, and after learning more about it, he did not punish Dugu Ling. Li Kun never thought that Li Zhao would dare to escape into the mountains.

Zhao'er said that if he returned to Chang'an, even if he was not killed, he would be imprisoned to death. He would rather be the king of the mountain than go back to Chang'an to be a prisoner. Li Qi said.

I thought I would be angry when I heard this, but Li Kun chuckled and said, "Zhao'er is not wrong in what he said. Then he said to Li Qi: "You are really useless, as the Li royal family, if you are defeated, you can escape, if you can't escape, you should apologize for your crimes, and you will come back in such a disgraceful way." Li Kun's face was disdainful, and there was a faint disappointment in his eyes.

Li Qi's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head again.

When the officials heard Li Kun's words, their expressions were strange. Some people think that there seems to be some truth in this.

The crown prince Li You, the third prince Zhao Wang Li Wu, and the fourth prince Jin Wang Li Xuan were all expressionless and stood quietly.

"Tell me how you should punish him. Li Kun pointed to several princes and said.

The crown prince Li You was the first to stand up and saluted: "Father, since the eldest brother has confessed his guilt, he should be dealt with lightly." "

How can we deal with it lightly?"

"Just confine yourself in the mansion." "

Prince Li You's proposal is not too harsh. For him, now that Li Qi has no threat, there is no need to kill them all. What's more, if it is proposed to kill Li Qi, I am not sure what Baiguan and Li Kun will think in their hearts.

Li Wu, the king of Zhao, and Li Xuan, the king of Jin, appeared one after another, expressing their agreement with the prince's proposal.

Li Kun thought for a moment and said, "Degrade Li Qi to a commoner and circle him in the Zongfu." "He didn't kill Li Qi in the end, this is his eldest son, and he once had high hopes for Li Qi. Li Kun knew in his heart that Li Qi had come to such a point today, which had something to do with him.

Li Kun said: "Let's all step down, the prince stays."

After the hundred officials and other princes withdrew from the main hall, Li Kun said: "Are you satisfied with this kind of treatment?"

Li You immediately knelt down and said: "My father has good intentions, and my sons and daughters remember it." "

Do you know, why didn't I give the crown prince to Li Qi?"

"

The reason is very simple, Li Qi can't bear the sky of Great Wei, and he doesn't even have the backbone of his son Li Zhao. Li Qi is reckless, and when he encounters a setback, he is easy to lose his fighting spirit. If he really inherits the throne in the future, Great Wei will be in danger.

Li You bowed his head and was silent.

Li Kun continued: "Stand up, you tell me what kind of world it is today.

Li You got up slowly, thinking in his heart, why did Li Kun ask such a question, what is the situation in the world? Isn't this obvious?

Li You knew in his heart that his answer was very important, and even directly affected his position as the crown prince.

So he resolutely said: "Within the Great Wei, the various sections in the eastern part of the country have long been opposed to the ambitions of the wolves. However, he was afraid of Guanzhong Iron Cavalry, and he did not dare to act rashly. The grassland is mixed with beards, and it has repeatedly invaded Hebei. In the south, the state of Qi never gave up the Northern Expedition. "

You're right, Great Wei is surrounded by enemies. So I didn't dare to hand over the country to Li Qi. A lot of things affect the whole body. Li Kun said: "For example, the grassland Zahu invaded Hebei, and it was not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who drove them away. Youzhou Jiedu envoy defeated the grassland tribe many times. If the imperial court recovers Youzhou, it will have to face these barbarians. Although the imperial court has the ability to defeat Zahu, its own strength will be damaged. Once the strength of the imperial forbidden army is damaged, how to deter those ambitious Jiedu envoys.

"The father is wise, but the son is not as good. Li You said respectfully.

"When I first succeeded to the throne, the exterior was even worse. Now it has recovered Hedong and Luoyang. Whether it is me or you in the future, what you have to do is to slowly accumulate national strength and gradually encroach on the Kanto. If you take Jingxiang or Huainan, you can find an opportunity to attack Qi and then dominate the world. "

Li Kun once thought about attacking Hanzhong, but the terrain in Hanzhong was really steep, and the Wei cavalry was not good at mountain warfare. The State of Qi only needs to hold the dangerous pass, and when the grain and grass of the Wei State are exhausted, they will withdraw their troops. In the last 100 years, this trick has been tried and tested again and again.

"Please rest assured that your son will never let your father down.

"Li Qi's matter, so be it. Kill what should be killed, and close what should be closed. As for Li Zhao, as long as he doesn't return to Chang'an and doesn't defect to the Qi State, whether he lives or dies, let him go. "

The retainers obeyed. "

Go down. Li Kun waved his hand.

"Yes!"

After Li You left, Li Kun suddenly said, "Hasn't that person heard any news yet?"

An old eunuch beside him said: "Yes, since escaping from Chang'an, this person has not sent any news. The

person who replied was often called "Zhao Gonggong" in the palace, and Zhao Gonggong has been serving Li Kun wholeheartedly since Li Kun ascended the throne. When Li Kun eradicated the eunuchs, Gonggong Zhao still swore allegiance to Li Kun and helped a lot, and belonged to Li Kun's confidants.

Li Kun looked puzzled and said, "It shouldn't be, could it be that he was discovered."

Zhao Gonggong was silent, and he didn't know how to answer.
