Chapter 189 A series of aftermath
In the end, what Luo Yan brought back to Youzhou was a corpse.

However, in order to verify that it was Wang Junkuo himself, someone proposed to cut off the head, and then preserved it with lime and sent it to Chang'an.For this extremely cruel proposal, Luo Yan refused without thinking.What Li Shimin wanted was just a result, not a big defeat of the enemy.

Anyway, Wang Junkuo was once Li Shimin's go-getter.

On a spacious wooden table, there is a large pile of documents stacked in one corner.There are several pens hanging on the pen holder at the other end.Near the pen stand is an inkstone, and there is still more than half of the pine ink in the inkstone.Luo Yan dipped the bald pen in his hand into ink from time to time, licked the tip of the pen, and wrote quickly.

That's right.Luo Yan is writing the whole story of Wang Junkuo's defection.It's time to give Li Shimin an explanation for this matter.From Wang Junkuo's sending out of Youzhou City to Wang Junkuo's suicide, he wrote without any concealment.It is the reason for how I deal with it, and I have explained it clearly.It took Luo Yan a whole day to spit out thousands of words.

It was not the first time that Ah Quan came to visit Luo Yan.He is also well aware of Luo Yan's temper, and he doesn't want to be disturbed when doing things.There were unprecedentedly many people who came to visit Luo Yan today, and Ah Quan had already rejected a large number of guests on Luo Yan's behalf.What he is worried about now is that Luo Yan has endured for five full hours since he ate a little barley porridge in the morning.

Fortunately, when Ah Quan went in to deliver the lights as the sky was getting dark, Luo Yan put down his pen and stretched.Then he said amidst his stomach growling, "Ah Quan, do you have anything to eat, please bring some here."

That's right, the memorial is finished.This is also Luo Yan's big concern.It is not easy to narrate the whole incident like a spectator without any emotion.

Ah Quan soon brought the meal that he had prepared earlier, and ate it hastily, and Luo Yan lost the interest to continue studying.After walking a few steps in the courtyard, when I felt a little cold, I went back to my room to rest.

Luo Yan can rest like this, but some people can't sleep.Li Xuandao is one of them.

The scene of arresting Wang Junkuo came to his mind over and over again, Luo Yan's strength and determination, Wang Junkuo's embarrassment and hatred, and the attitude of those generals towards him.

It was obvious that everyone knew he was going to lose power.The matter of Wang Junkuo's defection involved him too much.Moreover, everyone knows that he gave Wang Junkuo a letter at the beginning, and Wang Junkuo mentioned another sentence related to the letter before he died.There is too much room for imagination here.

It seems that he has seen the situation where he was degraded.I think the eighteenth bachelor of the Literature Museum is now an official outside by himself, and his life is getting worse and worse.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandao suddenly regretted why he had an affair with Luo Yan in the first place.Otherwise, Luo Yan can say a few good words for him now, which can offset half of the criticism against him in the court.Not to mention, if Luo Yan could cover it up for him, the consequences would not be as serious as he thought.

But what Li Xuandao thought, Luo Yan, who had been asleep for a long time, didn't know.

When Luo Yan woke up the next day, Luo Yan sent someone to send out his memorial.The rest is just waiting for the court to make a decision.Luo Yan knew that none of the people in Youzhou Dudu's Mansion, including himself, would have a good result this time.

In Chang'an City, Li Shimin received a report from Yunzhou Mansion after five days of jumping and scolding his mother.Wang Junkuo committed suicide, and only dozens of his subordinates survived, but they were all detained.The news wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.At least there is nothing to worry about, the only regret is that Wang Junkuo committed suicide.I couldn't ask a few questions face to face.

Sometimes the mind of an emperor is so strange.Or greedy is more appropriate.

Luo Yan's memorial was delivered the day after the news from Yunzhou.At this time, the court had already begun to discuss the handling of Wang Junkuo.

It is clear that Wang Junkuo's title, official position, etc. were all deprived, there is no doubt about it.Fortunately, Li Shimin was kind enough to give Wang Junkuo a civilian funeral.If one gets to the bottom of it, one is punished as a criminal, and it is possible to die without a place to bury him.

As for the others, how to solve it is a question.

As the long history of the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou, Li Xuandao was the first to be brought up to speak.

Wang Junkuo had always done bad deeds in Youzhou. Now that he died, he still brought it up and was talked about.The governor has nothing to say, you, a long history, should be persuaded, not so conniving.That's right, even though Li Xuandao had told Li Shimin secretly beforehand, but he didn't take any practical measures to persuade him, this was his fault.

Also, what exactly was written in Li Xuandao's letter to Wang Junkuo at the beginning became a mystery after Wang Junkuo's death.Well, that's also a point of criticism.

Just these two points are enough for Li Xuandao to eat a pot.If it weren't for Li Xuandao's friendship with many people in the Prince Qin's mansion, and his uncle Xuanling's mediation, although he did not escape the catastrophe of being demoted, it was much better than becoming a commoner.

Then there is Luo Yan.Dealing with Luo Yan's matter is more difficult.Luo Yan had only been in office for less than three months, and in the first month he followed Cui Dunli around the Northland.Belittle him, it doesn't make sense.Don't belittle him, the Law of Zhenguan has only been repaired for a few months, so Li Shimin should slap himself in the face?That must not work.

If this is the case, it is deprecated.

"Your Majesty, think of Luo Yan, who has done a good job in Lantian County in the past few months. If it is feasible, he can be put in another place to serve as the county magistrate. Besides, he is too young and has an impulsive temper. It needs a lot of training." Luo Yan is now an official from the fifth rank, and with the power given to him by Li Shimin, he is more powerful than Li Xuandao in Youzhou.

Although Luo Yan changed his official position three times this year, in the eyes of caring people, Luo Yan's power is getting bigger every time.For a young man, that's too good to be true.Therefore, regardless of good intentions or malice, many people suggested that Luo Yan be sent to a lower county to grind his temper.

"Luo Yan's merits and demerits in Wang Junkuo's matter can be offset. But in a place like Youzhou, it is true that Luo Yan is not suitable to stay." Li Shimin nodded, agreeing to ask Luo Yan to change places.But it didn't say where to go.For this kind of thing, it is better to listen to the suggestions of the courtiers.

"I think Luo Yan has stayed in the army and been an official in the capital in just one year. Even the chief officer of that land has been working for a long time. If he is exchanged frequently, I am afraid that the young man will not be happy. There will be resentment."

"That's no way. Whoever asks him to go will cause trouble. If we don't change him, why don't we let him make troubles in Youzhou?"

"Why don't you let him come back and teach in the Hongwen Hall. My little bastard is still talking about Assistant Luo, and even I am not so diligent in studying. Besides, after three months, the children of Zhu's family, You all know exactly what has changed."

"This is absolutely impossible. There is no such thing as transferring him back within a year."

After listening for a long time, Li Shimin was a little tired of waiting.Thinking about what Luo Yan had done before, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, don't argue anymore. I think, since someone said that Luo Yan is doing a good job teaching in Hongwen Hall, let him go It’s good to teach in one place.”

Hearing Li Shimin's self-willed words, the officials were a little at a loss as to what to say.

This punishment is really too much.

No matter how bad Li Xuandao was, he also gave the next Zhou Chang Shi Dangdang.Luo Yan was originally guilty of relatively minor crimes, but instead he berated him a bit harshly.It should be noted that even a doctor in Shangzhou is just an official from the eighth rank.Could this be a signal that Li Shimin no longer valued Luo Yan?
Amidst the doubts of the officials, Li Shimin continued: "Okay, Luo Yan held my token, and he should have been able to subdue Wang Junkuo when he arrived in Youzhou. But he has been watching from the sidelines and has done nothing at all. If he is not punished this time , It really betrayed my trust. Let it be like this. A few days ago, I heard that the Ph.D. of Jinzhou Government Academy is old, and has written to the Ministry of Officials more than once to resign. Let him be the doctor."

After hearing Li Shimin's arrangement, Baiguan took a deep breath.

Jinzhou is not far from Chang'an, and it also belongs to the Gyeonggi area.Relatively speaking, except for the extremely prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, the Gyeonggi area is the cultural center of the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, the overall quality of students in Jinzhou is also in the upper middle class in Datang.

Can Luo Yan go to stand up for such an official school?

Li Shimin's move was like putting Luo Yan on the fire.Dr. Upstate in his early twenties, have you heard of it?

This is not working as a teaching assistant in the Hongwen Museum, and those bachelors are doing it.What's more, the objects of teaching are different.There are those hairy kids in the Hongwen Museum, and the subjects of Dazhou official school professors are scholars who are going to take scientific examinations.It's not an order of magnitude at all.

"Your Majesty, why don't you reconsider. After all, Luo Yan has only just entered the officialdom, and I'm afraid that this arrangement will disgrace Your Majesty." Baiguan couldn't help but consider such a question, whether Luo Yan could persuade those who went to Jinzhou Jinzhou scholars.Some time ago, it was said that Jinzhou reported to the Ministry of Officials that the number of scientific examinations was 30 people.This number is also at the forefront in Datang.There are even more Jinzhou scholars clamoring that the leader of this year's scientific examination will be determined by them in Jinzhou.

"I'm just going to take a look at arrogant people like Luo Yan and Jinzhou scholars. Who can overwhelm whom when they meet together?"

In fact, Li Shimin wasn't worried about Luo Yan's loss at all.

In terms of knowledge, what is Luo Yan's background? Li Shimin has already learned the basics through those bachelors in the Hongwen Museum.As for the method, among other things, Sima Luoyan has been the magistrate of the county for the past six months. Who has seen him make a mistake?Li Shimin was also really displeased with the Jinzhou scholar's tone.Since such big words had reached his ears, he couldn't ignore them.

Seeing that Li Shimin had already made a decision, the officials couldn't refute any more.I can only silently bless Luo Yan in my heart.
