"Brother Maogong, have you seen Liang Luoren, did he say that Liang Shi is dead?"
Cheng Yanjin asked Li Ji.At this time, Cheng Biting Jin Zheng and Li Ji were in the Chinese military tent.Li Ji smiled slightly and said, "Liang Luoren has so many people, it is inconvenient for him to say anything about this matter."
However, Liang Luoren did not say that he was ordered by Liang Shidu to question us, so it is speculated that Zhao Yunze's plan has already succeeded halfway. ”"Why is it half," Cheng Yanjin wondered.Li Jidao: "Zhao Yunze's strategy, killing Liang Shi is half, and Liang Luoren's control of Shuo Fang is the other half.This means that Liang Shidu should be dead.Next, it depends on whether Liang Luoren can successfully control the situation in Shuofang. ”"Liang Luoren is the prime minister of Liang State and the cousin of Liang Shidu, and Liang Shidu has always trusted him.As soon as Liang Shi died, there were almost no officials in Shuofang City who could confront Liang Luoren.There is also Zhao Yunze's goblin kid helping Liang Luoren, I feel that Liang Luoren will definitely be able to control the situation of Shuofang smoothly," Cheng Yanjin said with confidence.Li Ji frowned, and said: "Having said that, but now that the Turks have also come to Shuofang City, I'm afraid it will increase the variables" "Haha, the Turks don't have to worry about it." ”Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and smiled."
Why is that?"
Li Ji wondered.Cheng Yanjin said: "On the Turkic side, the leader is Ashid Wumer.This Ashid Wumo sob, he has already secretly taken refuge in Datang. ”"There is such a thing," Li Ji was even more puzzled.Cheng Yanjin said: "Speaking of this, it has something to do with my brother Zhao again."
That's what happened," Cheng Yanjin told Li Ji about Zhao Yunze's introduction to Ashide Wumo and his defection to Datang.At that time, because Li Shimin asked Cheng Yanjin to cooperate with Zhao Yunze at the Lichu dinner, Cheng Yanjin also knew about Ashide Wumosi.By the way, Cheng Yanjin also told Li Ji about Zhao Yunze's strategy of "cultural invasion of the Turks" and the investigation of the assassination of the deputy envoy of the Turkic mission.After listening to what Cheng Biting Jin said, Li Ji sighed again and again: "This Zhao Yunze, this Zhao Yunze, has only been an official for a few months, and he has done so many great things, he is really a talent" "Hahaha, don't look at who my old Cheng is, the brother I recognize, can I be bad" Cheng Biting Jin was busy pasting gold for himself.Li Ji: "Cheng Yanjin's analysis is not wrong.Liang Luoren took control of Shuofang's situation very smoothly.After returning home, Liang Luoren immediately sent people to inform the officials of Liang State to discuss matters in his house.At the same time, he secretly ambushed troops in the palace, preparing to deal with officials who did not obey him, and forcibly took control of Shuofang.Those who were notified by Liang Luoren were all civil and military officials above the fourth rank of Liang State.There is only one county in the Liang Kingdom, and there are not many officials.The sum of officials above the fourth grade is less than double digits.When these officials arrived at Liang Luoren's house, Liang Luoren directly announced Liang Shidu's death to them.Officials were shocked and asked about the cause of Liang's death.Liang Luoren once again took out the feudal superstitious statement to fool these officials, and took them to see Liang Shidu's body.There were also the guards brought by the subordinates of the Liang Mansion and the Liang Division to testify, saying that they heard the sound of thunder.Sun Simiao and Zhao Yunze were even more eyewitnesses who strongly echoed Liang Luoren's explanation.Those officials were shocked, but they also believed Liang Luoren's words.Although there are a few officials who are a little skeptical about this matter, but now that Liang Shi is dead, Liang Luoren is alone in Shuo, and these officials have also wisely chosen to acquiesce in this matter.Besides, the Tang army is pressing the border, and Shuofang City still needs to rely on Liang Luoren, the prime minister, to take the lead in handling this matter, and those officials have no other choice.As a result, the officials of Liang agreed with Liang Luoren's proposal to appoint the crown prince Liang Kang as the new monarch.Liang Kang's body has not yet recovered, and he is a child, so he naturally can't really take care of things.An official who was accustomed to seeing the wind and envoys immediately proposed that Liang Luoren should be the regent and act as the new monarch Liang Kang to handle Shuofang's military and political affairs.When other officials saw that this opportunity to slap Liang Luoren's ass was snatched away, they were not willing to be reluctant, and they all spoke out to ask Liang Luoren to take up the burden.After Liang Luoren pretended to resign, he agreed to the officials' proposal, and acted as the regent of the regent, the crown prince and the prince, and Zhongshu Ling, and became the real ruler of Shuofang.Shuofang's rights were handed over so smoothly.There are many reasons for this, first, Zhao Yunze and Liang Luoren's strategy is almost flawless; Second, Shuo Fang, as a Central Plains force that took refuge in the Turks, people with backbone sneered at Liang Shidu, and many officials and ordinary people, because they were not used to Liang Shidu's actions, had already fled from Shuo Fang and defected to the Tang Dynasty.The officials who stayed in Shuofang were all spineless and principled people.The things that these people are most proficient in are flattery and seeing.When they saw that Master Liang was already dead, their brains naturally turned around immediately and slapped Liang Luoren's ass.Third, Li Ji's merging state soldiers and horses under the city of Shuofang also caused a lot of pressure on Shuofang's officials, who needed someone to lead the fight against the Tang army, and Liang Luoren was the best candidate.For many reasons, one of the things that is most likely to cause turmoil was solved so easily and peacefully.The plan has been decided, and the next thing is to pacify the Shuofang subjects and Turks, as well as deal with the Tang army under the city of Shuofang.After some discussion, Liang Luoren issued a "joint notice" in the name of the crown prince Liang Kang and his prime minister, saying that Liang Shidu died of a violent illness, and the crown prince Liang Kang succeeded to the throne, ascended the throne on a certain day, and treated Liang Shidu for funeral.As for Liang Luoren's newly promoted crown prince and prince minister and regent title, it will be officially canonized after Liang Kang ascends the throne.The officials involved in the deliberations also signed the circular and used the seals of the yamen under their respective charges.At the same time as the notice was issued, Liang Luoren also sent the "national letter" of Liang to Ashdewumo Si and Li Ji, informing the Tang Dynasty and the Turks of the death of Liang Shi and the succession of Liang Kang to the throne.The letter of state was sent to the Turks in order to obtain Jieli's approval of the matter; And sent the letter of state to Li Ji, first, Liang Luoren wanted to use the letter of state to inform Li Ji that his and Zhao Yunze's strategy had succeeded.Second, it also belongs to the normal diplomatic etiquette of Liang Guo and Datang.After receiving Shuofang's letter of state, Ashdewumo thought about returning to the Turks immediately and reporting the matter to Jieli, but the Tang army did not withdraw, and he did not dare to withdraw his troops.After Li Ji received Liang Luoren's notice, he and Cheng Yanjin held a banquet in the Chinese military tent to celebrate Liang Shidu's death.After that, Li Ji pretended to write a letter to Shuo Fangcheng, in which he expressed his "shock" and condolences for the death of Liang Shidu.And once again stated that the Tang Dynasty has no hostility towards Shuo Fang, and he is here just to take Sun Simiao's master and apprentice back to the Tang Realm
