Chapter 872 Luo Xuanzhao controls Hebei!
Ancient Handan, just as Gusu was renamed Suzhou, this city has a new name called Mingzhou.
A thousand years ago, this was the capital of the State of Zhao.
A thousand years later, this place is still the capital of Zhao State.
A thousand years ago, the State of Zhao was lost in the historical dust of the Qin cavalry.
A thousand years later, the State of Zhao was shattered by the iron cavalry of the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty.
Dou Jiande's wife and others fled back to Mingzhou, and the first thing they did was to look for Luo Xuanzhao, the right servant.
The Shangshu Provincial Hall seemed quite deserted, with not many people left here. Luo Xuanzhao sat on a bamboo chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at the sky outside the window. He was in his thirties, and unlike the heroic Luo Xuanye and others, he was very calm and steady.
After seeing Luo Xuanzhao, Princess Zhao and the others burst into tears and choked up, "Prime Minister Luo, the king is at Hulao Pass..."
Luo Xuanzhao naturally knew what had happened. He waved his hand and said, "Princess, please sit down. Don't be anxious. Everything in the world is in the hands of man, but one cannot escape fate. The king was defeated and captured. It's come to this point. There's no point in being sad."
Princess Zhao cried, "Prime Minister Luo, where will Hebei go in the future? Along the way, many counties have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. What should we do?"
Luo Xuanzhao did not speak. He cast his gaze towards Guanzhong. After a long moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly. “Hebei’s attitude will depend on the Tang court’s attitude towards King Zhao. Now is the time to see if King Zhao’s reputation for benevolence is of any use.”
Princess Zhao was a heroine in some ways. She heard the hidden meaning behind Luo Xuanzhao's words and asked in surprise, "Prime Minister Luo, are you not going to join the Tang Dynasty?"
Luo Xuanzhao shook his head, his eyes fell on the file in his hand, and said lightly: "I will be here, waiting for the Tang court to pacify Hebei, or to hear the news of King Zhao's death."
His words were very calm, but they were as chilling as the coldest days of winter, as sharp as a knife, and as intimidating as a freezing cold river.
…
After the rewards for Li Shimin were completed, the Tang court carried out large-scale rewards for the generals who participated in the Eastern Expedition. Luo Xuanye completely reached the peak of his life.
He was also appointed as the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince. This position, like Li Shimin's Grand Marshal and Minister of Civil Affairs, was a nominal position, but very honorable.
In addition, there are two top-level officials, namely, Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Huqi General.
The title of General of the Left Guard was changed to General of the Left Feathered Guard. The difference between "left" and "shang" is just one character, which means the same rank.
He was also awarded the third rank of Tongzhongshumenxia, and this official position gave him the power to participate in the central government affairs in the Zhengshitang. Even if Luo Xuanye did not work on duty or had no ability to do so, it was very useful for extending his power.
Especially after the end of the Central Plains War, Li Xiuning, who was in charge of guarding Taiyuan, returned to Chang'an and was given the title of "Zhen Guo" and served as Shizhong. He was still a prime minister at the level of the heads of three provinces. At this time, Luo Xuanye, who was also in the Political Affairs Hall, was very useful.
Among all the generals who led the Eastern Expedition, Luo Xuanling was promoted the fastest and the slowest.
He was granted the title of the second-rank founding county duke, the second-rank pillar of the state, and the title of special advancement general of the country.
On the battlefield, he mainly followed Li Shimin and protected Li Shimin's safety. He did not act independently, and many of the credits were attributed to Li Shimin. Therefore, it was a great promotion for him to be promoted to this level.
But he had no real position in the court. Li Shimin did not report him, and he himself did not want it. He only served in the Tian Ce Palace and the Qin Palace. His duties were very simple, commanding the 800 guards of the Qin Palace.
This treatment made everyone under Li Shimin envious to the extreme. They all knew that Li Shimin regarded Luo Xuanling as his true confidant, so he could put his life and property in Luo Xuanling's hands.
Luo Xuanchen, the fourth son of the Luo family, still followed Prince of Qi Li Xuanba. After the Eastern Expedition, Li Xuanba accumulated many merits and was awarded many titles. His greatest achievement was being appointed Grand Commander.
Luo Xuanchen rarely fought on the battlefield and his rank was relatively low, being only a guard two levels below the pillar of the country, which was an honor equivalent to the third rank.
However, he had not originally planned to be a military officer. The title of a founding marquis was enough for him temporarily, and he was promoted to the chief secretary of the Grand Marshal's Office.
According to convention, he might be sent to another state to serve as a governor, and finally return to Beijing to serve as an assistant minister, a minister, and finally a prime minister.
He did not have many military merits and was not promoted quickly, but he took every step steadily and he was not in a hurry. The Luo family was a whole, but everyone had their own destiny. He and Luo Xuanling came to the Tang Dynasty at the same time, but now they are very different. This is because of this.
The second and third brothers of the Luo family's generation are the most outstanding. One is sitting in Hebei, and the other is still wandering outside the world. At present, it seems that Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling are moving faster and more steadily.
Especially Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanchen vaguely felt that he might create family history.
Just like King Luo Wen in the past, he was not the most outstanding son, but his final achievement in the Luo family was second only to King Su, and he even surpassed the extremely talented Duke Luo Wen.
Who can predict something like fate?
…
Li Yuan wants to kill Dou Jiande!
This was the most shocking news at the end of the fourth year of Wude. Wang Shichong had been killed, or Li Yuan exiled him and demoted him to a commoner, but he died on the way to exile.
The crime for which he was exiled was not rebellion against the Tang court, but the destruction of Luoyang, which turned it into a living hell. This reason is really speechless. Moreover, Wang Shichong's reputation was so bad that even if he was killed directly, no one would speak for him.
But Dou Jiande!
Li Yuan wanted to kill him because Dou Jiande had a very good reputation in Hebei and was very popular among the people there. The Tang court was able to pacify Hebei very smoothly under the banner of Dou Jiande, but the smoother it was, the more afraid Li Yuan became of Dou Jiande.
How could Dou Jiande, a peasant born in the countryside, have such a high appeal? He was "bewitched by evil" and "chaos would break out if he was not killed", this was what Li Yuan thought.
The Taiji Palace was still a slightly dim and damp hall. Li Yuan sat at the top with an expressionless face, leaning casually in his seat. Concubine Zhang and others served him beside him, their makeup and perfume fragrant.
In this regard, the Li royal family are all quite lustful and have a strong ability to cultivate offspring, especially sons.
Li Shimin and Zhangsun had such a good relationship that it did not prevent him from visiting other women. The prince had five sons, not to mention Li Yuan, who was still having children at such an old age. Letting the men of the Li family marry only one would be more painful than killing them.
On both sides of the hall, Li Yuanji's face was full of gloating, Li Xuanba was anxious, and Li Jiancheng had a blank expression. No one knew what he was thinking. Only Li Shimin was kneeling in the hall. Just now, he advised not to kill Dou Jiande.
After a long while, Li Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Erlang, you are a martial arts master, but you don't understand these twists and turns. People like Dou Jiande must not be kept alive. You must kill him to eliminate the trouble in Hebei forever!
No one in this world understands the people in Hebei better than I do. We must suppress them severely to make them obedient, just like we did with the Hu people. Otherwise, those people will cause chaos.
Dou Jiande will give them this excuse.”
Li Shimin raised his head upon hearing this, and thought to himself that what Duke Wen said was right, his father had a strong prejudice against Hebei.
He said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Dou Jiande has only been in power for ten years, but he is able to win the hearts of the people in Hebei. Isn't it because the people of Hebei have received more favors from him than during the Sui Dynasty?
When Your Majesty issued a general amnesty and reduced taxes in certain states and counties, wasn't it to win the hearts of the people?
Dou Jiande did this in Hebei, and thus he won the hearts of the people of Hebei. If our Tang Dynasty treated Hebei as cruelly as the Sui Dynasty, even if there was no Dou Jiande, there would be Wang Jiande and Li Jiande. Most of Dou Jiande's former subordinates still had doubts and were unwilling to submit to our Tang Dynasty. Luo Xuanzhao, the second-in-command of Hebei, is still in Mingzhou and has not come to Chang'an.
What these people in Hebei are thinking is that they want to see how the Tang Dynasty treats Dou Jiande. If we kill Dou Jiande, we are not killing him alone, but the righteousness he represents. The people in Hebei will think that the Tang Dynasty is still like the tyrannical Sui Dynasty, unwilling to let the people of Hebei live a good life. "
Li Yuan was furious when he heard this and threw the metal cup in his hand away. "Are these Hebei people threatening me? They are really a group of rebellious people who don't obey the rules!
Do these people still want the Guanzhong policy?"
Li Shimin was stunned. He didn't understand why his father would say such a thing. It was okay for him to hate Hebei as a Guanlong noble, as it was in his personal interest after all. But now that Li Yuan was about to become the emperor, how could he still say such a thing?
Li Shimin said again in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you are about to receive the Mandate of Heaven. All the people in the world, including the people of Guanzhong, Shandong, and Hebei, are your subjects. You are the Son of Heaven for the world, not the people of Guanzhong. You only own Guanzhong. At most, you can only be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin's words were already very impolite. Guanzhong alone was only worthy of the crown of an emperor, and only the people of all corners of the world could lift the crown of the Son of Heaven together.
Li Shimin respected his father very much, but as long as one is a human being, he or she will be influenced, especially the influence of authority on people is very huge. Luo Su's evaluation of Li Yuan invisibly influenced Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin now looks at Li Yuan, he can't help but feel that he does not have the ability to be the ruler of the world, so he would think so in various instances, such as now.
And what about Li Yuan?
People become confused when they get old, especially when they are constantly being persuaded by others. He now thinks that Li Shimin is so proud of himself because of his great contributions that he even doesn't take himself, the emperor, seriously.
Now that the world is gradually pacifying, Li Shimin's importance to the Tang Dynasty has decreased, and Li Yuan is no longer willing to tolerate Li Shimin's arrogance, so his attitude is so bad.
Li Yuan suddenly turned to Li Jiancheng and asked, "Prince, do you think what the King of Qin said is right?"
Li Shimin closed his eyes. Based on his understanding of his elder brother, he would definitely agree with his father's approach. He didn't know whether Duke Wen could arrive in time. As the person who met Duke Wen, he would definitely be in trouble.
But Li Jiancheng's words were beyond everyone's expectations. He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, there is some truth in what the King of Qin said. Hebei should be appeased. You are the master of the world, so everyone in the world is your son.
Guanzhong is like me, and Hebei is like the King of Qin. You have never favored one over the other, so you should treat Guanzhong and Hebei equally. "
Li Yuan smiled happily after hearing this, and pointed at Li Jiancheng and said, "Prince, you said it well, better than the King of Qin. I will spare Dou Jiande's life and send someone to pacify Hebei. I heard that Wei Zheng under your command is an old acquaintance of Dou Jiande in Hebei. You can tell him and let him go."
Li Jiancheng was extremely happy about the hard-won victory over the King of Qin, and he hurried to express his gratitude. Li Shimin and others looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, wondering why he had changed his nature today and why his words were so to the point.
These words were naturally taught to Li Jiancheng by Wei Zheng. As early as when Dou Jiande was captured, there had been a conversation in the Eastern Palace about how to deal with Dou Jiande.
At that time, Wei Zheng suggested that Dou Jiande should not be killed. Li Jiancheng thought that Wei Zheng was just considering his old master, but what Wei Zheng said afterwards shocked him.
"Prince, if Dou Jiande fails to handle the public sentiment in Hebei properly, Hebei, which has just been pacified, may fall into chaos. Of course, this is just a possibility.
But there is another man in Hebei named Luo Xuanzhao. With him in Hebei, if Dou Jiande is killed today, he will definitely take revenge, and Hebei will definitely launch a wave of rebellion.
Dou Jiande's former subordinates and the Hebei gentry were already dissatisfied with Guanzhong. After the fall of Zhao, their wealth and status would be gone in one day, and they would definitely rebel.
When that time comes, what will happen?
Hebei has strong soldiers and horses, and its people are tough. Since ancient times, there have been many generous and tragic people. Although Dou Jiande failed, Hebei's strength has certainly not decreased, and it can easily mobilize an army of 100,000.
That was not a chaos that could be quelled by ordinary people.
Among the military generals who founded the Tang Dynasty, those who were the most capable in fighting and leading troops were all under the command of the King of Qin.
It is no secret that the final outcome will be like the rebellion of Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, with the King of Qin stepping in to lead the army.
Wouldn't this increase the prestige of the King of Qin?
Doesn't this allow the King of Qin to have more merit?
Wouldn't this make the King of Qin even more powerful?
If the King of Qin continues to hold the military power, how can you, Prince, sit in the East Palace in peace?
What you should do is to weaken the power of the Qin Palace bit by bit and make the Qin King lose all his real power without knowing it.
Therefore, we must never let the King of Qin lead the army again!"
It must be said that as soon as Wei Zheng said this, Li Jiancheng was immediately convinced. He took Wei Zheng's hand and said with emotion: "It is only after I got you that I know what it means to be like a fish in water."
Because of this conversation, Li Jiancheng's words today made him proud in front of Li Yuan.
Li Shimin was still thinking about this matter when he walked out of the palace, but no matter what happened to the prince, at least the Tang Dynasty was spared from a war that was bound to come.
The next day, Li Yuan issued an edict to confer the title of Duke of Cheng'en on Dou Jiande, and his fief of 3,000 households was left in Chang'an. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was house arrest, but it was precisely this house arrest that made people feel more at ease.
Li Yuan was well-known for his pettiness in recent years, so if he wanted to kill Dou Jiande, he would just kill him directly.
Dou Jiande finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart. Facing Li Shimin who came to visit him, he said: "You asked me to see the demeanor of the future emperor, but I only saw you."
The implication is that without you, your father would not be my opponent. This was Dou Jiande's evaluation of his opponent. Li Shimin didn't say anything, but just raised his glass to drink tea and then left.
There was a sense of uneasiness in the air, but he didn't know where it came from.
…
After defeating Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the Tang Dynasty began to attack the last powerful enemy, Xiao Xing of Jingchu. Naturally, Li Shimin did not need to take part in the war against Xiao Xing, after all, his contributions were great enough.
In addition to Xiao Xin, Li Tang actually had another concern, and that was Du Fuwei in Jianghuai.
When Li Yuan conferred the title of prince on him, Du Fuwei happily accepted it. Later, he learned that Luo Jingcheng was a prince. The most important thing was not the title, but that Luo Jingcheng's rewards in all aspects were inferior to his.
Du Fuwei was not a fool. He was confused at that time. This old guy Li Yuan had bad intentions.
This was an attempt to roast him in the fire and to do something to him in the future. Du Fuwei thought about it and felt that he could not keep the title and official position, so he wrote a letter requesting a demotion, but Li Yuan disagreed.
Li Yuan's disagreement made Du Fuwei even more upset. He wrote another letter, not only requesting to be demoted, but also requesting to enter Chang'an. He really did not want to be hostile to Li Tang and only wanted to enjoy wealth and glory.
Seeing Du Fuwei's insistence, Li Yuan finally agreed. But the problem still existed. Jianghuai was an independent area, and no officials of Li Tang were sent there. Those who remained there were still the same people as before. This was a very unstable factor for the Li Tang court.
Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing waited until Du Fuwei entered Chang'an and then talked about this matter again. In fact, they disagreed with Du Fuwei entering Chang'an.
When expressing sincerity, you also have to consider who you are expressing it to. Du Fuwei's family background is too low, so it is useless for him to express his sincerity to Li Yuan. Li Yuan looks down on Du Fuwei and will never look down on him, unless he is from a wealthy family like Luo Jingcheng, in which case Li Yuan will directly reuse him.
Luo Xuanjing rubbed his head and said, "Du Fuwei might as well stay in Jiangzuo. After Li Yuan dies, Qin Wang Li Shimin will definitely be able to accommodate him. Going to Chang'an now is simply delivering food to Li Yuan. Let's see if he can hold out until the day Li Yuan dies."
The pain point for Luo Xuan's camera is that, after all, it was Du Fuwei who was persuaded to surrender by him and his wife. This is a bit similar to the recommendation system. If something really goes wrong, he can't escape, and it's not good for the Luo family's reputation.
Luo Jingcheng comforted him, "If he was smarter and listened to us and surrendered to the King of Qin earlier, he would be fine. Besides, Fourth Brother would also take care of him for our sake and he wouldn't take the worst step.
The top priority now is to pacify Xiao Xing. The Jiangnan gentry are now a little anxious. When the Sui Dynasty was established, the Jiangnan gentry were left behind. Unexpectedly, when the empire was rebuilt, Guanlong would win and the Jiangnan gentry would be suppressed again.
Xiao Xin will surely be defeated, so we must fight quickly to save Jiangnan from war and make another contribution to the Luo family."
Luo Xuanjing nodded, recalling the Xiao Xin in his memory, "If it was someone else, it would be difficult. Xiao Xin is a harsh person towards his subjects, but very kind to the people. The people of the Xiao family believe in Buddhism, so we can use the people to persuade him to surrender.
But we can't take all the credit. The Tang Emperor sent people here, so there must be a fight. We should just wait and see what happens.
This year, Suzhou's taxes are almost due. Once these taxes are paid, Suzhou will become the focus of the imperial court, and by then, a prince may be stationed here."
Luo Jingcheng knew what Luo Xuanjing meant. This year, Suzhou's tax revenue would probably be the highest among all the hundreds of states in the world. The tax revenue of Suzhou alone might reach 70% of the entire Jiangnan Province. In the future, the world would be dominated by Suzhou and Yiwu.
The imperial court cannot ignore such an important tax-collecting area, and it is impossible to let the Luo family control it alone. There will be many struggles in the future. Luo Xuanjing, as the governor of Suzhou and the local official, will face considerable challenges.
…
It has to be said that the Li family was really blessed and was destined to rise. There were many talented people in the clan. There was Prince Juyang who had always followed Li Shimin, Prince Huai'an Li Shentong, and Li Daozon were also very powerful generals in the clan. Perhaps it should be said that there were endless talents among the Guanlong nobles in these generations, which enabled them to establish two empires.
The most powerful member of the Li Tang royal family was Prince of Zhao Li Xiaogong, who was the undisputed number one general besides Li Shimin. Li Xiaogong was in charge of the attack on Xiao Xing. Li Jing had been in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and was finally brought out by Li Yuan.
Even if Li Jing was used, Li Yuan did not treat him well and almost found an excuse to kill Li Jing. Finally, he reluctantly let Li Jing serve as the commander-in-chief of the army to cooperate with Li Xiaogong in the southern expedition.
No one knows what Li Jing is thinking.
It can only be said that he was not valued in the Tang Dynasty in recent years. Li Shimin admired him, but he did not get close to Li Shimin, so Li Shimin gave up the idea and just maintained a normal relationship with him.
Another reason was that Li Shimin saw that Luo Xuanye did not like Li Jing.
Li Shimin once wanted to recruit Li Jing into the Prince of Qin's Palace, so he talked about this person with Luo Xuanye.
Li Shimin believed that since he had saved Li Jing's life twice, he should be able to win him over.
Then, for the first time in his life, Li Shimin saw Luo Xuanye speak ill of others.
Li Shimin had a deep memory that day when Luo Xuanye said seriously, “King Qin, if you think that Li Jing will stand on your side because you saved him, you are wrong.
Our ancestors mentioned Li Jing before. He was a very talented person, not inferior to the famous generals in ancient times.
But you can only use his talents, not treat him as a confidant.
He has only one thing in mind, which is to realize his ambitions, so he will not get involved in the affairs between you and the prince.
He wants a stable harvest regardless of drought or flood.
If you become an emperor in the future, you can use him to fight.
But if you want to recruit him into the Qin Palace, you must not do that."
Who is Luo Xuanye?
Li Shimin understood it very well. Since he said so and Duke Wen of Luo said so too, it seemed that he really could not recruit Li Jing.
The reason why Luo Xuanye told Li Shimin about Luo Su's evaluation was because he really disliked Li Jing. In order to avoid the fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin, Li Jing even distanced himself from Luo Xuanye.
Can Luo Xuanye tolerate him?
The fact that he was not chopped on the spot showed that his temper had improved a lot in recent years.
What Luo Xuanye said was very important.
The process of Li Shimin's fight for the throne must have been an extremely thrilling tug-of-war. Everyone in the Qin Palace must be united, and there must be no traitors.
However, Li Jing is not good in this regard and is not someone who can be trusted, so Luo Xuanye will not let him enter the Prince Qin's Mansion.
As for whether Li Jing would lose his position in the future because of this incident, that had nothing to do with Luo Xuanye, as he was not Li Jing's father.
People choose their own paths.
Li Jing's current situation is all his own choice.
When the Luo family's foundation becomes strong again, Luo family's genius will burst out again. It doesn't matter whether Li Jing is there or not. Besides, Luo Xuanye doesn't think that, with Li Shimin's open-mindedness and broad-mindedness, he will not alienate Li Jing just because Li Jing doesn't help him.
It's just a matter of delaying Li Jing's road to fame, which is not a big problem.
And just as Li Yuan said, "It is better to use his talents than to accomplish them", Li Jing has talent and it will be easy for him to achieve great achievements in the future and be rewarded with titles that no one else can. If we suppress him now, we can make more use of him in the future.
Li Jing, who is in the south, will probably never know that Luo Xuanye has already made arrangements for him for many years to come, making his career advancement a little more difficult.
Li Tang's southern offensive had already begun, with the army advancing by land and sea. Naturally, it was difficult for Liang to resist the attacks from all directions. Liang had been surrounded. Only Xiangyang, a natural barrier in the south, was in Liang's hands. The rest of Bashu and Jianghuai were in Li Tang's hands.
This war is just like the Sui Dynasty's pacification of the Chen Dynasty. Anyone can come, the only difference is whether it is a super victory, a big victory or a moderate victory.
…
The south was heading to suppress Xiao Xin. After Wei Zheng learned about what happened between the Crown Prince and Li Shimin, he felt relieved a little. At least the Crown Prince listened to him, so killing the King of Qin would not be a problem.
After knowing that Dou Jiande would not die, Wei Zheng went to Hebei with peace of mind to appease Dou Jiande's old subordinates. Otherwise, he really did not dare to go. He was afraid every time he saw Luo Xuanzhao. He was sure that as long as he appeared in Hebei and Dou Jiande died in Chang'an again, then he, Wei Zheng, would definitely die!
Wei Zheng was unwilling to do so. His life goal was very simple, which was to realize his ambitions, become rich and glorious, and preferably marry a woman from a prominent family.
As for words like pretending to die, don't say that. How can a person be rich and glorious after death? It's just a matter of changing the boss. Why do you have to make it into a matter of life and death?
This concept is the fundamental reason why he and Luo Xuanzhao cannot get along.
Wei Zheng moved very quickly. As soon as he entered Hebei, he went straight to Mingzhou to meet Luo Xuanzhao.
————
Wang Shichong was a native of the Central Plains. He initially served as a vassal of Emperor Yang and rose to power by flattering the emperor. In the end, he massacred the Sui royal family and seized the false throne. He was suspicious and mean, and his subjects were alienated. As a result, the land of Henan in the Central Plains could not have a single year of peace. Many of his subordinates rebelled, and the country was divided internally and externally. The royal army advanced to suppress them and occupied the holy city of Luoyang. However, he did not know the weather and caused the people to be displaced and the holy city to be destroyed. His crime was serious, so he was released.
The world is full of cruelty and righteousness, and he has many enemies. He died on the wrong road. Isn't this destined by heaven?
Dou Jiande, a native of Hebei, was originally an officer of the Sui army. He hid among bandits in Hebei and lost his family. He then raised the banner of rebellion, occupied Hebei, usurped the throne of Zhao, and won the hearts of the people.
People at that time said, "At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was Yuan Gong, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was Dou Wang. The two Zhao states in Hebei are highly respected for their benevolence and righteousness."
Wang Shichong died for his cruelty and cunning, while Dou Jiande lived on with great kindness and righteousness. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was due to these two people. ——"Book of Tang: Biographies of Heroes at the End of the Sui Dynasty"
