After Xue Chongxun assembled the army, he advanced straight to the east. Li Longji and his important subordinates were dead. It was impossible for the Luoyang defenders to resist anymore. There might be no wars here. They just need to accept power and maintain public order.
On the way, I met Liu An, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This guy defected to Xue Chongxun two years ago. He was in charge of the canal transportation in Luoyang during the coup, but he was not dead yet!
When he saw Xue Chongxun, he burst into tears, saying that all his family members in Luoyang were killed, and he was extremely miserable.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun was just looking gloomy, an official next to him couldn't stand it and said angrily: Mr. Liu's wife and children are all in Chang'an, and there are only some concubines in Luoyang's mansion, right?Now that I have left the green mountains, I will take in dozens of them.
While wiping away tears, Liu An said: It’s hard to give up his old love when they are together day and night. They are implicated by me and die. How can people not cry?
Xue Chongxun then took a look at his expression, and his tears were real, but he really couldn't see any heartbroken sadness. He comforted him casually and asked curiously: How could the rebels let Mr. Liu go?
Liu An said: I realized that the situation was wrong earlier and used the excuse of inspecting the canal transport to the Dongdu. Sure enough, within a few days, the Yao Mansion Commander secretly colluded with Li Sanlang to rebel... At that time, more than half of the colleagues in the yamen were slaughtered on the spot by them. In less than half a day, the riot soldiers searched for escaped officials and their families!The betrayalists in Luoyang City were all covered with the blood of their colleagues. The prince must not forgive them easily!
He constantly emphasized the severe punishment of the criminals, and also took the opportunity to draw a clear line with Li Longji's followers.If Liu An had not escaped at that time, it would be hard to say whether he would surrender and betray after putting his knife on his neck.
Xue Chongxun said: The court has its own judgment.He suddenly remembered that Liu An also met him when he came back to Luoyang, and he thought he was quite destined to be with him.
The group of people rushed in the army while talking, but the army did not stop and advanced eastward into Luoyang.Originally, they were not far from Luoyang, and they arrived at the west side of the city before noon.
As expected, no one resisted, and the city gate was open, and the officials and generals in the city were standing outside and surrendering.
Xue Chongxun raised his hand, and the generals beside him ordered the army to stop on the spot.
Xue Chongxun led all the generals and staff and the Flying Tiger Regiment Guards to ride horses forward from the side of the road. After approaching, he saw the officials at the city gate kneeling on the ground, waiting for the generals of fate tremblingly.
The melodious little snowflakes were still floating, and the surroundings seemed very quiet for a while.
At this moment, only Xue Chongxun's words were needed, and the fully armed army could massacre all these people to vent their anger.
Although Luoyang is a city of the Tang Dynasty and the massacre of the city is obviously not possible, it is completely stress-free to slaughter some guilty people during the war.
Xue Chongxun found that there was someone in the lying down in front of him standing and not kneeling. He looked closely and found that it was Yao Chong.
This time, the famous scholar Yao Chong committed an unforgivable crime. If he hadn't changed his banner, it would have been difficult for Li Longji to incite.
Originally, there were many great celebrities in this era, including the Mingjun (Xuanzong), who should have made great achievements, and a large number of famous officials who have been famous in history, including Yao Chong, who stood out like a crane in front of him without kneeling...
But now Xue Chongxun watched them wither with his own eyes.
Including Wang Changling around him, he could have been famous in poetry, but after being entrusted by Xue Chongxun with trust, he had a lot of serious things to do, and I am afraid that his poetry achievement would not reach a certain level.
What's more, a poem is not only well written, but also the factors that celebrities praise each other.
Xue Chongxun suddenly had some strange feelings and moods, mixed with many emotions, but he had no intention of killing.He immediately clasped his fists peacefully and said: "Good Lord Yao is fine?"
Yao Chong was stunned. Perhaps he didn't expect Xue Chongxun to be so polite to him, one of the initiators. He was silent for a moment and then shouted loudly: If you want to kill, kill, it is useless to say more.
Xue Chongxun really doesn't want to kill him with his own hands. If he kills a famous scholar, even if the world doesn't tell bad things, people in future generations may have to give him a bad reputation for persecuting loyal and kindness. Why bother?
Moreover, in addition to the confrontation in public affairs and political views, Xue Chongxun did not have any disgust towards Yao Chong, and even felt a little regretful...
Anyway, Yao Chong was responsible for the civil war, and it was probably a crime for the whole family to be executed. No matter which officials were convicted, it would be impossible to forgive him.
But seeing that Yao Chong was still very reasonable, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say: In this war, there were tens of thousands of casualties, and those who were broken up and their wives and children were separated were hard to win... Did Mr. Yao feel no shame at all?If you didn't rebel at the beginning, it would be impossible for Li Sanlang to invade!Good, very good, your heart is so admirable!
Yao Chong's face changed slightly. How could he see that there is a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?When the country is in danger, we cannot raise our arms and support justice. Should we sit down and watch the villain occupy the temple and cause trouble in the world!
In the face of national crisis?
Xue Chongxun smiled and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty Yao and others take themselves too seriously. If you are missing, the earth... the sun and the moon will still be running, the snow will be over, and the crops will still grow well in the spring next year.The defeat of the enemy in the northwest was 600,000, and the territory was opened; the grain transportation was rectified, and the grain tax was smooth, and the world was governed... If Li Sanlang was missing, Yao Xianggong, would our Tang Empire be destroyed? Ah?
No one wants to become a villain or a sinister party. After hearing this, the generals and officials behind Xue Chongxun laughed and it was very helpful.
When Yao Chong wanted to say something, Xue Chongxun rudely interrupted him: Is there anything I have to say in front of the censor, let's see if they think you are innocent.When someone comes, he will detain a group of people and send them to the capital for the crime!Whether there is any sin or not, how big a sin is, let the Prime Minister have the final say with the cabinet masters.
Enter the city!Xue Chongxun waved his hand and tens of thousands of troops lined up into a neat long column and slowly drove towards the city gate.
Originally, Xue Chongxun thought that the officials and citizens of Luoyang City would hide at home and that no one would be seen on the street...
The army of the court came, and they would not worry about being massacred, but it was indeed not safe to go out and run around during war.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xue Chongxun and others entered the city, they saw the main road full of people. When they saw the team, they cheered, which surprised Xue Chongxun.
Wang Changling beside him said: I'm afraid it was called by the big city owners who spent money.
Xue Chongxun thought it made sense when he heard this. Otherwise, who would rule the people of Luoyang Guan?
After Li Longji was in charge of Luoyang, he had to rule out dissidents and attack some opponents. The wealthy families with some power in the city should have had some contact with the officials therein.
Now that there is a change of power, everyone is afraid of being involved, so they try to please the new people in power, right?
Sure enough, after the army entered the city, many local clans took the lead in transporting pigs and sheep to reward the army. A large number of supplies were delivered for free, and they really invested a lot.
When Xue Chongxun went out for social events, he was full of flattery, waiting for the king's army and the prince to save the people and the fire.
He looked kind and patiently comforted everyone, repeatedly emphasizing that the king is a benevolent and righteous teacher and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately...
Li Longji is dead. Why is it necessary to find trouble for those marginal families? Is it necessary to make enemies everywhere for myself?
After the Luoyang gentry rewarded the army, he paid for the money to invite Xue Chongxun and other important personnel to go to the restaurant to celebrate the merits.
It is hard to refuse the kindness. In order to win more supporters in Luoyang, Xue Chongxun agreed to attend the dinner after the business was over, giving him face.
After dealing with this troublesome thing, Xue Chongxun immediately called Liu An and asked: Two years ago, I promoted a group of Hedong Scholars to manage the grain transportation at the Ministry of Revenue. This time, I will not all die, right?
Liu An said: A few days ago, the traitors searched for a large number of people, and the people in our yamen were scattered, and there were probably some people left.I will stay in the yamen for a few days, and the rest will probably be retrieved and resumed.
Xue Chongxun nodded and said: Those officials who have not turned against each other are all ministers of the court... He pondered for a moment and lowered his voice. After the turmoil, the officialdom of the Dongdu will probably form a large number of vacancies in a short time.Before the court was transferred to the new chief, we would first promote a group of our own people to take key positions in the name of maintaining order. Do you understand what I mean?
Liu An nodded quickly to show that so many vacancies are an opportunity to develop his party members.
Xue Chongxun thought about it and said: The Luoyang Governor and the Yellow River Okang Guard once rebelled and directly disbanded and went home to farm, recruiting a group of strong men to train.
At this time, the generals of the Flying Tiger Group next to him also became energetic, listening in a hurry for missing a word.
Although Xue Chongxun never said it clearly, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment knew in their hearts that they were the generals and that this guard was almost equivalent to a direct military officer regiment of the King of Hedong.
As long as he had the opportunity, Xue Chongxun directly selected personnel from the Flying Tiger Regiment to serve as the general of the new army, so that the new army would become his direct army.
Every time the military strength is developed, it is an opportunity for promotion to the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment.
It is related to everyone's future, so they will naturally care extra.
Sure enough, Xue Chongxun said to Liu An: Mr. Liu has been an official in Dongdu for several years. He is familiar with the local area and will be responsible for you... Of course, Mr. Liu may not be too clear about military affairs. I will let Bao Cheng follow you. He stayed in the army for a long time, and maybe he could help.
Bao Cheng, who is still the captain of the Flying Tiger Regiment, couldn't wait to walk up after hearing this and bowed: Last general Bao Cheng has met Mr. Liu, but he is sent by his mission.
Liu An understood in his heart and smiled and said: It’s easy to say.I don’t know much about military affairs, and I still need General Bao’s assistance in everything.
After all, Bao Cheng is a military general, and his mind is not as curved as Liu An. He said directly: Mr. Liu is Xue Lang’s person, so is me. Everyone is not alone.
Liu An glanced at him speechlessly, as if he was talking about you, you don’t need to be so clear!
Xue Chongxun smiled and patted Liu An on the shoulder and said: You should be busy with Luoyang first. Whenever you have the chance, I will try to let you enter the court as a prime minister.
On the way, I met Liu An, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This guy defected to Xue Chongxun two years ago. He was in charge of the canal transportation in Luoyang during the coup, but he was not dead yet!
