The next day, Yingzhou Governor Xue Wanshu was escorted by Li Kuan to Beijing Miansheng for trial. At the same time, Li Kuan appointed Zhang Jian to temporarily act as the governor of Yingzhou and the captain of Dongyi's captain, and he was immediately converted to the post of the imperial edict. The strategy set up by Wei Wang Litai was resolved by Li Kuan, and tens of thousands of stone grains also entered the Yingzhou granary and sent to the Liaodong battlefield under the escort of Zhang Jian.
Li Kuan strictly ordered Yingzhou to spread the news to avoid stunning snakes, so that only a few people knew what happened in Yingzhou. At night, Li Kuan and Shi Rui returned to the capital with Xue Wanshu quietly. Li Kuan now has enough evidence to cure Li Tai's crime, but he is still waiting.
During the period when Li Kuan was no longer in the capital, some changes occurred again in the DPRK, mainly due to the replacement of the six books. Namely: Yang Shidao is the official secretary, Cui Dunli is the military secretary, Liu Dewei is the criminal secretary, Xu Jingzong is the ritual secretary, the household secretary is taken over by Gao Jifu, and the industrial minister is served by the general Youwei and Li Daliang who leads the Imperial Guard.
Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others have been transferred or cut. Most of the current six books are from Jin Wang Li Zhi. Among them, Li Daliang, the general of Youwei, is the only one. He is Li Jing’s old ministry and even a lieutenant general. , For the first time to participate in the affairs of the DPRK.
In addition, Zhang Xingcheng, Yu Zhining and others of the Criminal Ministry have been promoted to varying degrees. It can be said that the officials who supported Jin Wang Lizhi's successor prince are now reused. On the contrary, officials supporting Li Kuan and Wei Wang Litai have been demoted or transferred. Li Kuan is much stronger than Li Tai. At least Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others are still at the core of power. Both Korea and China have the right to participate in the affairs. Only Cui Renshi, Wei Ting and others who support Li Tai have been transferred from the core official positions. , Far away from the core position, and Dali Temple Qing was replaced by Sun Fujia.
Faced with the sudden and unannounced transfer, the civil and military officials all looked at each other for unknown reasons. At this time, Shang Shuling Li Kuan was not in the court, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others speculated that this was the official transfer of the current emperor deliberately targeting Li Kuan.
After all, Li Kuan's power is too large, and he cuts first and plays later. At that time, they faintly felt that something was wrong, and they all remained silent, forcing the current emperor Li Shimin to rectify the court line and promote a group of people to power again.
In today's court, the officials who supported Jin Wang Lizhi to become the crown prince have an absolute advantage, even the eldest son Wuji never thought that this would be the result. Three days after Li Kuan left Beijing, Li Shimin secretly summoned Changsun Wuji. The monarch and his ministers once again had a long conversation. No one knew what they were talking about. However, everyone guessed that this personnel dispatch is absolutely inseparable from Changsun Wuji.
A month later, when Li Kuan returned to the capital again, he was already a duo.
Li Kuan asked Shi Rui to return home first, and then took Xue Wanshu into the palace. When he handed over the evidence to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was also taken aback, and then his complexion changed drastically. He stared at the evidence with uncertain eyes, and his whole body changed. It must be silent.
"Father, the minister has brought Xue Wanshu back to the capital. As for the affairs of Yingzhou, I have handed over the affairs of Yingzhou to the deputy general Zhang Jian." Li Kuan was not humble or overbearing, and Li Shimin nodded, sighing helplessly: "Zhang Jian is a foreign relative. Minister, who has been in Yingzhou for many years, it would be a bad thing to have him in charge. According to the rumor, he was ordered to serve as the captain of Yingzhou and the post of Lieutenant of Dongyi. In another order, General Xue Wanche, General Youwei, returned to Beijing immediately."
After a pause, Li Shimin glanced at Li Kuan, who was calm and calm, and said: "I will send an edict to appease the envoy, and Wei Wang Li Tai will return to Beijing immediately."
Li Kuan still looks as usual, neither sad nor happy. Li Shimin is really unwilling to recall Li Tai who went to Sanzhou to pacify the epidemic at this time. However, he has the iron proof that he does not believe it. There must be an explanation for right and wrong. At this time, only Can be recalled.
At the same time, Li Shimin was also pacifying Li Kuan's uneasy heart. He issued an order to replace the six books without Li Kuan's knowledge. Li Shimin was still a little unwilling to tear his face with Li Kuan again, trying to balance as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Li Kuan took the initiative to request the order to temporarily avoid the need to recall the king of Wei and Li Tai. Only when the Sanzhou epidemic stabilizes can the people's hearts be stabilized.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, secretly praised Li Kuanshi, and then said: "Let Xue Wanshu come in!"
Xue Wanshu was a criminal. Seeing Li Shimin, who was looking displeased, he fell on his knees with a thump: "Criminal Minister Xue Wanshu pays homage to my emperor!"
"I entrusted a heavy responsibility, but I never thought that you would treat me like this, and even more disregarded the lives of the soldiers in front of us who served Datang loyally, and dare to stumble behind them. You are so courageous!" Li Shimin stared at Xue Wanshu coldly. He scolded Xue Wanshu for his guilt in a violent manner.
Xue Wanshu lowered his head guiltily, tears of remorse shed all the time. Li Kuan was not interested in seeing the friendship between the emperor and his subjects, so he retired in advance. When Li Kuan turned around and went out, Li Shimin said with grief: "What do you think I should do with you?"
"The crime committed by the criminal is a capital crime, and I do not ask your majesty to forgive it. This is because the criminal has deserved it!" Xue Wanshu burst into tears. He didn't want to die, but he had to die. If he does not die, Wei Wang Li Tai will be in a disaster. Xue Wanshu still knows a little bit about Li Shimin, the current emperor.
"Oh, that's all!" Li Shimin sighed, "I think you have contributed to the court, and you have been guarded in Yingzhou for many years, and the post of Dongyi's school lieutenant's mansion has been handled properly. I think you are older and have achieved great achievements, so I betray you and be exiled Jiaozhou, save your family members from the crime of sitting together."
"Criminal minister, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Xue Wanshu knew that he was the only one being convicted, and he was not too happy to mention it, and was grateful for Li Shimin's kindness. As long as his family is not implicated, it is more important than anything else.
"Get up!" Xue Wanshu hurriedly stood up, Li Shimin stood up, walked slowly to him, looked carefully for a long time, and said: "Do you think he looks like me?"
"..." Xue Wanshu was agitated, and his body was lowered, but he dared not answer, and was silent.
"Answer truthfully, forgive you for not guilty!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, with some anger in his words, which meant to warn Xue Wanshu that if he didn't tell the truth, it would be extremely sinful. Xue Wanshu, who was in a dilemma, after hesitating for a long time, gritted his teeth or said his thoughts.
"As much as you were back then!"
Li Shimin felt tight and murmured: "The truth?"
Xue Wanshu was startled and bit the bullet and replied: "Better!"
Suddenly, Li Shimin smiled, a little inexplicable and a little daunting. There was a hint of chill in the smile and a hint of indescribable emotion. Xue Wanshu followed Li Shimin for many years, knowing the incomprehensibility of the other party, and bowed his head respectfully, afraid to speak. (End of this chapter)
