I may not be willing to return to Li Yuan. Even if it’s just a slow solution, what we need most now is time. The abilities of Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are well known throughout the world. If they help Li Yuan with all their strength, how many generals of our Sui Dynasty can stop them? ! “
The ministers were silent.
The little emperor Yang Tong looked at Qu Tutong worriedly: “Can General Qu stop them? “
Qu Tutong didn’t say that he could not beat him, but sighed and said tactfully: “The Han Dynasty is so powerful, only Huo Qubing is the only one who sealed the wolf and Yan Ran is the only one who tied the stones. Moreover, Huo Qubing and Dou Rong were both able to achieve such great achievements when the Han Dynasty was in its prosperity. “
Yang Tong grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and smiled bitterly: “Then do I have any choice?” “
He took a few deep breaths, stabilized his trembling voice, and made all his strength to calm his tone: “Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are my cousins, and they once had the kindness of saving the emperor. I believe their loyalty to the Great Sui Dynasty. However, he has been granted the title of King, but he can be granted the title of King of the County. “
Although Yang Tong was just a puppet emperor, when the ministers argued endlessly, the words of the puppet emperor could also affect the results.
The ministers obeyed the emperor’s will and began to discuss what county prince to Li Shimin and Li Xuanba.
There was no objection to Li Shimin’s title of Longxi County Prince. The ministers discussed the title of Li Xuanba. You must know that even if it was a nominal fief, Li Xuanba could still pull his brother to fight him down.
In the end, they unanimously decided that if they had to be completely alienated, they would look for the land near Li Yuan.
So, Yang Tong issued an order to grant Li Shimin the title of Longxi County Prince and Li Xuanba to the Taiyuan County Prince.
They also came up with a good idea to let the unknown Li Zhiyun inherit the title of Duke of Tang.
Li Zhiyun, who was suppressing bandits in Longyou: O＿o? ? ?
Chapter 170 Fearful and neglected
The envoy from Luoyang broke through and passed the imperial edict. Because Li Shimin and Li Xuanba were leading the troops outside, the two brothers finally saw the imperial edict.
Li Zhiyun was the farthest away, but he was the first person to get the imperial edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, he was stunned at Li Zhao: “Three sister, am I the Duke of Tang?” “
Li Zhao was amused and crying: “Yes, Wulang is Duke of Tang. ”
Li Zhiyun scratched his head: “I am actually Duke of Tang? “
Everyone around him couldn’t help laughing.
Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui’s sad faces were briefly cleared due to logistical pressure.
Luoyang’s decision was logically fine.
Li Yuan had already rebelled, so naturally the Sui Dynasty cut off his title as Duke Tang.
The little emperor wanted to win over Li Shimin and Li Xuanba and to separate Li Yuan and their father-son relationship. The two princes were not enough, so give Li Zhiyun theLi Yuan’s youngest son was named Duke of Tang, which not only slapped Li Yuan hard, but also told other Li clans that even if Li Yuan rebelled, the Duke of Tang was not cut off in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the court would not implicate others.
With this decree to be the king, the young emperor also issued an order to release the relatives of Li Yuan who was imprisoned in Daxing.
Li Yuan’s relatives are also relatives of Longxi County Prince Li Shimin, Taiyuan County Prince Li Xuanba, and Tang Guogong Li Zhiyun. Since killing these people cannot stop Li Yuan from rebelling, it is better to let them go, so as to show the court’s magnanimity.
If the court can still control the situation, it would be better to kill these people than to let them go. If anyone who rebels does not punish them seriously, how can you serve as a warning?
But now the little emperor can’t even get out of Luoyang. Even though he knows that it is drinking poison to quench his thirst, he has to take a sip first.
Besides, it is already in chaos now, even if there are still people who rebel, they will be separatist on the territory of anti-kings and imperialism. The world became more and more chaotic, and the small court in Luoyang lasted for a longer time. So even if more people rebel, it doesn’t matter to the Sui Dynasty.
Fang Qiao and others could understand what those people in Luoyang were thinking, but they still couldn’t help laughing when they saw Li Zhiyun becoming Duke of Tang for no reason.
After Li Zhiyun came back to his senses, he said happily: “Haha, I am the only one among my brothers who became Duke of Tang! I can brag for the rest of my life!”
