0774 Set the chaos and be brave, the country Lai Yingzhu
The sudden accountability of King Yong was indeed beyond Pei Yixian's expectations. He originally thought that even if King Yong had little affection for him, he should have more or less comforted him based on his knowledge of the details of King Luling's escape north and some wisdom after returning to the capital of God. However, he did not expect that at the beginning of the meeting, he was charged with a crime that would not cause him to die without a burial place.
Li Tong in the hall was a little surprised after hearing Pei Yi's begging for life first, but after a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "No matter what, Pei is, he is indeed a pure man. Now he cannot defend the country, and Luling cannot maintain his integrity, which leads to internal disasters. However, since the Zong family has me, he will never allow the worldly powers and wise people to control the lives of the Zong family and show off their own desires!
Pei has good intelligence and is involved in the deep evil, and is not accused of loyalty, but I don’t know you. Now I’m scared by death, Pei does not fight for his life with evil merits, but only begs for life according to his nature. Today, there are thousands of people in front of Tianmen, from the giants of the Xunmen to the neighborhood, and from the people who are killed in the neighborhood, because of my order, the bones are accumulated more than a meter. But I also have the virtue of loving life."
"If you kill, you can kill me! Since Your Highness holds the talisman and combines the Tao to establish the tripod, everything you say and do includes the universe. The life and death of the people of sin cannot be found here, so he dare not expose his thoughts and his nature is exposed..."
Pei Yichang bowed deeply to the ground and continued to speak in a deep voice.
After a short exchange, Li Tong had a more specific understanding of Pei Yixian.
In fact, at the beginning, he really had a little murderous intention towards Pei Yixian, which had nothing to do with the disputes in the past. It was purely because Pei Yixian, which made him feel inexplicably familiar, scheming, and means, and his bottom line was not high.
When Pei Yan was the prime minister, he conspired with the Empress Dowager to depose King Luling. But Pei Yixian was able to avoid the trouble of this previous resentment and revenge, and successfully approach King Luling and participate in the conspiracy. Ordinary people probably wouldn't have thought of it, but Pei Yixian not only thought of it, but also did it, which shows that his scheming and methods are excellent. This inevitably reminds Li Tong of a guy who only loves me.
But Pei Yixian's behavior was of great help to him. After all, Li Tong was not a bloodthirsty person who regarded human life as a must. Although he had murderous intentions towards Pei Yixian, he was not determined. After a series of strong intimidations, he also hoped that Pei Yixian's reaction would strengthen his murderous intention.
It has to be said that Pei Yixian is indeed a very smart person, and can even be said to be wise. Under such a threat, Li Tong thought he would force his contributions, and argued according to reason, and only wanted to survive with the most fundamental human nature.
Li Tong killed Yang Jiaben, killed thousands of rebels in front of Zetian Gate, and even launched a bloody purge in the city later. Because there were enough reasons and motivation, even if the blood flowed into a river, he could have a clear conscience.
But whether to kill Pei Yixian is torture the human nature of self. There are many difficulties in the world, but only the heart is sad. Especially now, Li Tong will have almost uncontrollable power in the Shendu City.
After a while of silence, Li Tong said again: "Luling and the people who have planned their plans since Shannan, and they will stop and tell them in detail."
Pei Yi first heard the words and did not dare to neglect them. He sorted out his thoughts and started to tell them from his deliberate approach to the Luling King's family.
Li Tong also listened quite seriously. Although the most urgent task in the city is to quell the Qi Lianyao rebellion, this rebellion was triggered by the return of King Luling. Therefore, understanding the return of King Luling has great guidance and reference value for the subsequent determination and cleaning.
When he heard that King Luling and his party arrived in Ruzhou, King Luling sent his eldest son Li Chongrun to Guanzhong, Li Tong frowned, raised his hand and stopped and said in a deep voice: "Chongrun walked into Guanzhong, can there be any clues for investigation?"
Pei Yi first shook his head after hearing this: "The criminal people advised this plan, and the original intention was to withdraw from his own body. He turned to his tent to join His Highness... However, at that time, there were already many followers from the King of Luling, and only chose a few relatives to follow the emperor's family, and the rest did not know what to do."
When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again. Pei Yichang offered his plan first, of course he didn't have any good ideas. When his third uncle sent out his son, he was afraid that there would be no detailed plan. But now the situation in Shendu has been so broken, and there is the subsequent Hebei affairs. Li Tong will find it difficult for him to return to Guanzhong in the short term. Li Chongrun, who was sent away, became a big hidden danger.
He rubbed his eyebrows a little irritatedly, only to think that his grandmother had given birth to these two guys, serious matters and lacked plans, and he was very interested in destroying his ancestors.
It is not easy for Qinchuan, eight hundred miles to search out a few people, and Li Chongrun’s identity is special and sensitive, so it is not easy to search with great fanfare. After Li Tong pondered for a moment, he signaled Pei Yi to continue the story, while recording the matter on paper, preparing to let his elder brother Li Guangshun, who was left in Guanzhong, be vigilant and preside over the search of Li Chongrun.
After another half an hour, Pei Yixian finally talked about the fact that King Luling, Bieye, Xiangshan, Luonan, parted ways with everyone, and then there was no news. Then Pei Yixian met with Tian Shaoan in the city. Li Tong had already heard Tian Shaoan tell him about what happened next, so he no longer wasted time and signaled that Pei Yixian could stop first.
Pei Yixian's statement gave Li Tong a more comprehensive understanding of the turmoil in Shendu City, but at the same time he also had a great question, that is, where did King Luling go?
There is no doubt that King Luling's intention to return to China this time is to be the throne, and before the official launch, he abandoned the personnel and affairs in the Shendu City. It should be the idea of fighting the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
But now the city is in chaos, even the emperor is robbed by the Northern Yamen army, and even the previous accomplices have officially rebelled. This little yellow bird should have moved no matter what. However, until now, there is no trace of Luling King in the city.
Even if Li Tong thought about such a strange situation, he could not sort out a single line. A relatively large possibility is that his third uncle should have already been broken.
Not long after Li Tong returned, he still did not have a comprehensive and thorough control of the situation in the city. Since he had no clue, he simply stopped thinking about his brain.
His eyes fell on Pei Yixian again and said seriously: "The virtue of loving life can be entrusted to Pei. However, his previous deeds cannot be evident in the world. Give you two choices, either after leaving this door, the past will be wiped out, and you will always be the leader of Guizhou, or you may record the crimes and receive promotion and demotion within the order of punishment."
Pei Yichang first heard this and then bowed: "This body is eccentric and embarrassed. It is a pity to live. In the kingly way, honor and disgrace are all along. How dare you make private plans again!"
Hearing Pei Yixian's answer, Li Tong really appreciated him a little, and couldn't help but sigh: "With intelligence, no matter how old or powerful, Pei's life should not be lost. If you keep your position for a long time, the world will tolerate you. Since I have given my life, I will accept it with a smile. But at this moment, there is no place for you to stand out today. I will give you a word. If you can hold on to this again next year, the Tang family's famous title will never be inferior to you!"
While speaking, he picked up the pen and slowly wrote the word "Li" and handed it into Pei Yixian's hand. Pei Yi first held the handwriting of Prince Yong in both hands, and tears were filled with his eyes. He then bowed and choked and said, "Since I will remember the gift of Your Highness. I will never let this kindness be forgiven for the rest of my life. I will be loyal and diligent. I will pay my respects to you next year and beg for a new life!"
Looking at Pei Yixian who was so grateful, Li Tong was also quite touched. He has been in the world for many years, especially after taking charge of the division of Shaanxi, he has mastered considerable personnel rights and paid great attention to the discovery of talents, but not many people really surprised him.
Although the famous Kaiyuan Prime Minister Yao Song and others were under their command, these people have been proven in their original history. Although they are still responsible and capable of their duties, it has to be said that there is still a big gap between Li Tong's expectations for them.
Li Tong also gave them many opportunities to true confidants like Guo Da, but they still have considerable shortcomings in their talents and cannot take on the role of responsibility.
Pei Yixian in front of him gave Li Tong a great surprise. Putting aside other things, after a little exchange, Li Tong went from being murderous intent to creating a love for talent, which shows that Pei Yixian is very good.
Therefore, he was willing to give Pei Yi a chance first, and leave some factors that made him hesitate to time to verify. If Pei Yi Yi can first prove that he is very useful through practical actions and has a persistence in his character, he will naturally give him a gift.
At present, Pei Yixian is also a key witness in the Luling King. After the conversation was over, Li Tong took him to temporarily imprison him in the imperial city and handed him over to Zhang tomorrow to continue the interrogation.
As for Li Chongfu, the eldest son of Luling King Shu, who is still imprisoned in Luxinfang, Li Tong also ordered Guo Da to go to Luxinfang to take him into the imperial city and secretly settle him.
After explaining this, it was already midnight. From the night before, I received an urgent report from Tian Shaoan, I arrived at Shendu overnight. Then there was a fierce battle in front of Zetian Gate. I have not closed my eyes until now. Li Tong was a little tired, so he took a break in the political affairs hall.
After a while, Yang Sixu, who was also wearing armor, walked into the hall and whispered: "Report to Your Highness, I will report to Shangyang Palace. Shangyang Palace is safe from everything, and the food has been supplied. Your Majesty the Empress Dowager told Your Highness that he should follow his original intention and do not worry about anything else. Even if the second head of the Zong family still has obstacles, your Majesty can do it. Even if there is any harm to the relationship, Your Majesty will take care of it..."
"knew!"
Li Tong, who was sleepy, was silent after hearing Yang Sixu's reply, then nodded and then ordered: "Tell the Empress Dowager that he is full of things. He has no time to visit the palace recently. When the chaos is settled, he will ask for his conspiracy. In addition, after tomorrow morning, all the lords and courtiers in Shangyang Palace will be ordered to return to their residences and not disturb the tranquility of the palace!"
After hearing this, Yang Sixu nodded and saw that His Highness had no other instructions, he withdrew and hurried to Shangyang Palace.
After Yang Sixu left, Li Tong continued to sleep at his desk. Half awake and half dreamed, time passed quietly, and soon the clouds rose and dawned.
In the past night, riots were still inevitable in the Shendu City, but most of them were controlled within a certain range and did not spread. When the sunlight returned to the earth, the city was full of chaos and devastations were still shocking, but the empty and quiet streets still made people feel a little calm.
At this time, the news that King Yong had returned to the capital had spread throughout the city, and the soldiers who occasionally rode their horses and rode by, also announced that the order in the city had gradually recovered.
After a brief rest in the Imperial City Political Affairs Hall, Li Tong also cheered up and began to formally deal with the chaos. The first thing he had to do was to fulfill the promises last night. Li Tong personally climbed the gate of the Imperial City and signed the official announcement for the troops who returned to the city after patrol.
Such a scene is naturally exciting and happy. Everyone who receives the award is happy and grateful. Thank you all, and thunderous cheers are constantly erupting in front of the door. The only shortcoming is that this reward lasts a bit long, and a thousand documents of letters of confession must be signed by King Yong, so the efficiency is naturally not high.
This shortcoming is naturally nothing to the people who are rewarded. This time, the official gift has allowed them to have a complete transformation of their identities. Even if they wait for a few days or nights, they will not feel tired.
But the constant burst of gratitude cheers in front of the door brought more or less a great shock and touch to some people outside the matter.
At present, Tianjin Bridge is still blocked, and the Shangyang Palace on the west side of the imperial city is constantly being sent out. The current turmoil in Shendu City will naturally not last long. If you want to participate in the subsequent reconstruction of order, of course, you have to go to the imperial city to pay homage to His Highness Yong, either express your opinion or make suggestions.
But now a group of armored soldiers gathered in front of Duanmen, and the morale was high, which made all of these Shiliu unable to get close to King Yong for a while. They could not help but feel distracted and lost their responsibilities in their hearts.
Tianjin Bridge may still be trapped in the north and south of Shiliu, but the people of Shiliu Portal clans who entered the imperial city yesterday felt even more embarrassed. The soldiers who were rewarded in front of them were originally slaves from their families, but now they have been incorporated by King Yong and given great kindness. Just looking at the joyful look of the masses, I am afraid that they have already left their old masters behind their heads and regarded King Yong as the only wise master in their hearts.
In addition to their own selfish plans, some people present also saw a deep meaning of King Yong's reward of soldiers with such a big fanfare.
Tian Guidao, a court clerk who was watching the ceremony in front of Lieduan, couldn't help but sigh: "The court has repeatedly used the great name to suppress King Yong. Now that the dynasty has collapsed, we need to admire King Yong to return to the country to conquer the chaos and give it power. All the people in the court are incompetent, so Your Highness is not eager to summon the court clerks and visit the common people. Now you can know that Your Highness has a certain plan and only needs to expand its strength to use it. Yang Jiaben was sentenced because he was confused and said that he deserved the crime..."
Li Tong didn't hear Tian Guidao's feelings. However, he did have some idea of slapping the face and creating momentum, but in addition to this, there is another more important intention, that is, delaying time.
No matter how beautiful he is, he actually has a little bit of an empty city plan. Inadequate hard power is a fatal flaw. Even if this group of soldiers has been completely incorporated, the power he has mastered is still not enough to launch the investigation and cleaning of the entire city.
Yesterday's turmoil was mainly concentrated in the imperial city, and the outside world did not know the truth and reality. In addition, the street drums shocked, and the armored soldiers patrol the city covered by the night can prevent his strength from being completely exposed.
But after dawn today, if there is no actual act of confusion, it will make people suspicious. So he came to Duanmen in person, signed and announced his deeds one by one, and continued to create momentum and conceal his strength.
Finally, as time passed, as the sun above his head gradually shifted westward, the sound of horse hooves rushing again in the suburbs of the west of Shendu City. It was the rear troops of Shanzhou that were rushing towards Shendu City quickly.
At this time, the rewards of the soldiers in front of Duanmen were already halfway through. When the reinforcements were vaguely visible, Li Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up and moved his sore hands and feet. Then he summoned Zhang Shuo and Zhao Changxing to instruct: "Immediately review the list of traitors, post it between the city gates and the yards, search the whole city, and there is no one missing! Dare to resist and kill it on the spot!"
The two of them respectfully accepted the order, and then went out of the city to order troops and entered the yard to capture the rebels.
The arrival of the rear guard of Shanzhou greatly supplemented Li Tong's power. In addition to the search for traitors, various other orders were also issued one after another.
After the troops were sufficient, the next thing to do was to control the money and grain. After Li Zhan and other people entered the city, they were immediately stationed in Xintan, Lidefang. The Shendu Cao Canal immediately fell into the fence and blocked the flow, and the boats and vehicles were not allowed to leave the city. At the same time, the two cities also regained control, and all materials were controlled.
Then all the dynasties returned to their residences and waited for the call. They were summoned three times but did not arrive, and they immediately deprived them of their official positions. The people in Fangqu were gathered in each household, and the southern gate gathered in the north gate, and the northern gate gave food to the amount of money to supplement the price. The eastern gate accepted the lawsuit, and the western gate was pacified and exiled. A curfew was banned day and night, and if there were no orders, the scholars and the people were not allowed to go out to wander.
Although the turmoil in Shendu City did not last long, it caused great harm, especially the losses in terms of money and food. Before the turmoil broke out, the entire capital was almost three feet away because the court sent troops to Hedong. Then the entire city fell into a disorderly state, with a strong hostility and plundering.
Therefore, although the two markets and the official warehouses were successively included in the control, the reserves of rice collected were still pitifully small. Even if it was Kuaisoufangqu, the savings of the powerful and noble households were still not much.
But this does not mean that the entire capital has no savings. At least some places still have abundant savings, that is, the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples distributed inside and outside the capital. Although Xu Junchen did not serve as the Criminal Department, he was responsible for raising money and food. He was not afraid of ghosts and gods, and he was supported by His Royal Highness Yong behind him. He acted naturally and was unscrupulous and plundered the Buddhist temples and temples with all his might. The savings in these places were continuously transported to the official warehouse of Lidefang.
With the money and food plundered by Xu Junchen, a relief system covering the whole city was established. At present, all industries in the city were in a state of depression. In order to obtain food for life, the villagers' power gathered quickly, and in a very short time, more than tens of thousands of people gathered.

With sufficient manpower in hand, Li Tong's control over Shendu City has also increased. He has a lot of experience in regulating chaos. In addition, although Shendu City has been in chaos before, it still has an advantage that other places do not have, that is, it has a large reserve of talents.
Not to mention the thousands of officials in the court, there were as many as 10,000 electors who were stranded in the capital due to chaos last year. Such a rich talent reserve was far from that of Chang'an, Xijing, in the early years.
At present, the order of the capital and capital needs to be rebuilt urgently, and Li Tong also made full use of this talent reserve. He proclaimed the whole city to order. Anyone who participates in the governance of chaos will be given to the generals. Those who choose the sixth ranks or below will be increased by one level.
So soon, the originally deserted imperial city regained its liveliness. These recruits and governing the chaos were not distributed to the court officials, but were divided into ten envoys under the command of King Yong to serve separately. This also means that the structure and functions of the court had been completely replaced by the provisional government established by King Yong.
After the basic military political chaos structure was completed, Li Tong no longer held back. Anyone who participated in the case of Qi Lianyao's rebellion could be investigated will be sentenced to death. In a few days, there were continuous killings in the Nanshi execution ground, with more than a hundred people living in different bodies and heads, and even more than ten times more people were sent to slaves.
However, this is just the beginning. Qi Lianyao's rebellion is just a related incident in which King Luling fled and returned to China. The case of King Luling has not yet been tried. In addition, the Northern Ya mutiny and fled with the king, he has not yet been tried. Once these two things are punished, there will only be more people involved in Shendu Shiliu!
