Li Shimin was worried about Li You's rebellion, but he didn't know that a major incident happened quietly in Daizhou.
"His Royal Highness, don't you dare to resist the decree?"
"What a big hat, Mr. Qiu has to take responsibility for saying this!"
"This is a saint's imperial edict. The original prefectural governor and plain county governor Liu Lancheng was executed on the spot with conclusive evidence. He was guilty of unforgivable crimes, and he should destroy the three tribes. Today, His Highness is indiscriminate and dare to stop me. Is it because your Royal Highness thinks that the edict is false?"
"Don't dare!" Li Kuan sneered, "I've said it to County Lord Qiu over and over again, and I will postpone it for some time, and I will talk about it after your majesty's decree comes. As for the extermination of the three tribes, Liu Lancheng takes the blame, but it is still there. What's wrong with the infant child?"
Qiu Xinggong roared: "This is the law of the Tang Dynasty, doesn't your Highness know it?"
"Does Qiu Jungong know that there is no new edict from your Majesty?" Li Kuan retorted, and the two fought against each other, and Jiang Xingben caught in the middle was embarrassed. Now he is only temporarily in charge of Daizhou affairs, and he has no right to intervene in the dispute between Li Kuan and Qiu Xinggong. No matter who he is helping, he will be criticized, and he will simply not help each other.
Jiang Xingben arrived in Daizhou first and took over the military and political affairs of Daizhou. Of course, Li Kuan would not have any objections; Qiu Xing arrived late and was very respectful to Li Kuan at first, but the two had a violent quarrel when they arrested Liu Lancheng's family members.
Li Shimin issued the first edict, and Qiu Xinggong arrested all relevant officials and others, and escorted them into Beijing, especially Liu Lancheng's entire family. Li Kuan knew that the next two anxious melodies had not yet been sent to the capital, so he was not in a hurry, let alone prevent Qiu Xinggong from acting.
However, after Qiu Xinggong arrived in Daizhou, he not only arrested all relevant officials, but also all the relatives of Liu Lancheng's tribe. However, Li Kuan promised Liu Lancheng to save the life of his eldest grandson. Li Kuan would definitely not sit back and watch.
Qiu Xinggong saw Li Kuan obstructing his own edict, and for the first time he explained the situation politely. Li Kuan refused to take away Liu Lancheng's eldest grandson, who was still in his infancy. Qiu Xinggong had a grumpy temper and saw Li Kuan's edict. Ignored it, with great resentment in my heart, and immediately broke his face and had a fierce argument.
The two were in a stalemate. Jiang Xingben suggested that the two retreat, but no one was willing to retreat. The end result was that there was no result for two days, and the conflict even intensified. Leng Feng, Qin Shandao and others all stood up and drew their swords to each other, Qiu Xinggong The same is true for the soldiers brought.
On the third day, Li Shimin sent the second edict and issued a killing order. Ever since, Qiu Xinggong resolutely obeyed the order and prepared Liu Lancheng and others to be cut on the spot, even the infant child was not spared, how could Li Kuan agree.
Originally thought that Liu Lancheng had a grandson who was still in the infant, but he never thought that there were more than a dozen of his three tribes who were ignorant children. Li Kuan felt that the execution on the spot was too cruel, and his anxious play also suggested This matter.
The newcomer Qiu Xinggong didn't know that Qi Wang Li You was intent on rebellion, and he had already taken action. If what happened in Daizhou reaches Li You's ears, Qizhou will be in chaos. Li Kuan didn't dare to gamble, Qiu Xinggong was so happy, eager for quick success and quick profit, and his arrest with fanfare had already caused a lot of trouble in the city.
Originally, Li Kuan planned to deal with this matter quietly, but the plan was completely disrupted, and now he can only take one step and count one step. Since Li Kuan had torn his face with Qiu Xinggong, Li Kuan would definitely not give in, and the two men led each other to confront each other in the government office.
Several hours later, the envoys who arrived from the capital brought a third edict, stating that Li Kuan would deal with Liu Lancheng and pardon his grandson's death by himself. This confrontation stopped. Qiu Xinggong's face was sullen, and his sullen face was full of resentment: "I will definitely play the role in this matter!"
"I'm waiting!" Li Kuan replied calmly.
Qiu Xinggong snorted coldly, waved his hand and turned to leave the office of the governor's office. At this point, Qiu Xinggong could only accept this result. However, he and Li Kuan’s Liangzi were settled. Li Kuan didn't take him to heart at all. If this matter hadn't been for Qiu Xinggong's intervention, it wouldn't have made it so complicated.
Liu Lancheng, who was detained in the government’s prison, received a message from Li Kuan, knowing that the emperor agreed to let his grandson go, and his heart was instantly relieved. The old tearful thanked Huang Enhao**, and he was even more grateful for Li Kuan’s kindness. .
Li Kuan has sent Zhang Chong, Li Dale, Li Zhen, and Li She to Qizhou in two batches to find out the news, but the news has not been seen for a long time, which makes Li Kuan a little worried that Qizhou has changed. Now the edict clearly states that Li Kuan no longer has to worry so much to save Liu Lancheng and his grandchildren.
I went to see Liu Lancheng again that night, and wanted to ask for useful information from him, but Liu Lancheng could not give more information. If it hadn't been for Li Kuan to kill Xu Xuan, perhaps he could ask. After coming out of the government office, Li Kuan received a new edict.
The envoy informed Li Kuan of what happened in the palace and the reason for coming this time, and conveyed the emperor's intention to let him take full responsibility for Qizhou-related matters. There is no need to worry about Liu Lancheng's affairs. The edict said that the infant child of Liu Lancheng's tribe will be pardoned, while others will postpone their executions.
Liu Lancheng converted the merits and sins, but his sins were too great, even if the report was meritorious, his sins could not be forgiven. Now that the emperor is very generous, it is a great gift to spare the infant child. Li Kuan also didn't expect to plead for him to spare them their lives, and he would have to finish the road he chose to walk down on his knees.
Since Zhang Chong and Li She had no news, and Li Kuan had an official book written by the emperor himself, he decided to take people to Qizhou himself. If there is anything wrong, they also have an answer, which is better than waiting here. As for Fang Yizhi, Zheng Xuanguo, and Li Jingren, they were not accompanied.
"The three of you must keep an eye on me!" Li Kuan gave orders to the three of them.
Fang Yizhi and others understood, they knew what to do. Because after Li Kuan left, with Qiu Xinggong's character, he would find face 100%. In addition, Zheng Xuanguo also informed Qiu Xinggong that he could serve as the general of Youwuhou, which was also related to Hou Junji.
Although Qiu Xinggong does not belong to the generals of Hou Junji, he is also notorious for his violent temper, and the two have some friendship. Hou Junji was sentenced to death, and now he is in Dali Temple prison and has not yet been executed. However, Qiu Xinggong had not enough official ranks at the time and had no right to speak, so he could not help intercede at all.
It can be said that Qiu Xinggong and Li Kuan also have private enmities. Li Kuan is not worried that Qiu Xinggong will make trouble for himself. He is afraid that he will kill Liu Lancheng and others without waiting for him to come back. Let it go. Even if the emperor asks, Qiu Xinggong can prevaricate, even the current emperor can't help it, it is impossible to severely punish loyal ministers for those who committed capital crimes, it is not practical to think about it.
