Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 375: Great Purge, Death of Concubine Yang

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused a burst of applause from the surrounding refugees.

Then, before the officer could continue to speak, several people rushed over, knelt in front of the officer, and asked to sell themselves.

When the officer saw this, he immediately helped the person up, and then asked the knife and pen officer who had been waiting for a long time to register them.

This kind of thing happened in turn at all the migration sites in Chumo, and it soon spread among the refugee community.

And Chu Mo's title as "the greatest good man in the Tang Dynasty" also began to spread widely.

Li Shimin listened to the report below, and involuntarily tightened the sword around his waist that had not yet had time to wipe away the blood. After a long time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into a sigh and said to the people below:

"Now is not the time. You ask Qian Niuwei to pay attention to the opponent's movements at all times. I will deal with him after I take my hand away."

After Chu Mo left the palace that day, Li Shimin immediately closed the palace door and carried out an unprecedented purge.

All palace maids and eunuchs who were considered suspicious were sent to prison.

Fansi's guards who were suspected of being disloyal were all killed on the spot.

All concubines who had an affair with or had close contacts with the foreign court were imprisoned and interrogated one by one.

No place in the entire palace, large or small, could escape this purge. Even Tai Chi Palace, where Li Yuan lived, was also used by Li Shimin as:

There are too many people in the palace, and the accumulation of yin energy has led to frequent natural disasters. Moreover, many palace people have nothing to do and waste food and materials in vain. Now is the time of famine. When it is time to tighten food and clothing and reduce the expenses in the palace, it will be an excuse. Most of the palace maids and eunuchs were secretly imprisoned and tortured under the pretext of being sent home.

It was precisely because of this sudden purge that Li Shimin caught many rats buried in the palace.

As the saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. Li Shimin also followed the information he obtained and uncovered many old subordinates of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, as well as some courtiers who were still loyal to Li Yuan.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't say anything to these people, just the word "kill".

After receiving the news, Li Yuan looked at the sky for a long time and was speechless. Finally, with a sigh, he moved out of Tai Chi Palace overnight and settled in the Hongyi Palace he built for Li Shimin in the fifth year of Wude. He renamed Hongyi Palace Da'an Palace.

When Li Yuan moved into Da'an Palace, he also asked Hanshan layman to transfer the token of the enshrinement courtyard to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, who unexpectedly got the enshrinement courtyard, the first thing he thought of was not to thank Li Yuan, but to start the second purge.

Under his order, all the worshipers in the Enshrinement Court were dispatched immediately and bloodbathed all the places in Chang'an City that he was originally afraid of.

Of course, these places do not include Food is the Sky.

Li Shimin loves and hates Food as Heaven. What he loves is that Chu Mo can always make surprises at critical moments and save the people from fire and water.

It's a shame that such a talent can't be used by himself. If he hadn't worried that his side couldn't take down Yang Hongyu 100% and couldn't prevent the opponent's assassination, this disaster relief would have needed Chu Mo's strong support.

Li Shimin had no choice but to remove Chu Mo's cramps and peel his skin immediately.

Compared with Chu Mo's safety, Chu Xin and Prince Li Chengqian, who thought they controlled most of Chang'an, suffered heavy losses this time.

Not only were most of the previous strongholds in Chang'an City caught off guard by Li Shimin's sudden attack, and most of the personnel were eliminated, the most important thing was that the personnel he had placed in the palace were basically eliminated.

This blow is not a big one, and recovery may not be possible in a short time.

What made them even more upset was that after this incident, Li Shimin was on guard. It was undoubtedly a fantasy to deploy so many personnel again.

At this time, Chu Xin and Li Chengqian began to regret their previous contempt for Chu Mo and their failure to kill him immediately, which led to the other party joining forces with Li Shimin and inflicting heavy losses on their own side.

Yes, in the eyes of Chu Xin and Li Chengqian, this purge was done by Chu Mo and Li Shimin.

Now they have judged Chu Mo as Li Shimin's lackey.

As for the fight between the two of them, both of them regarded it as deliberately concealing the truth from others.

From now on, no matter what plan the two make, they will allocate part of their energy to deal with Chu Mo.

Chu Mo didn't know that he was taking a big blame for Li Shimin for no reason. He was regarded as a thorn in the side of two enemies who were not enemies for no reason.

As time went by, in just two days, Chu Mo recruited all the originally planned 10 migrating people.

Despite this, a large number of people still gathered around the registration point and refused to leave for a long time.

For these people, Chu Mo did not order to expel them. He just asked his men to distribute part of the food every day to earn reputation. At the same time, he also spread the word: This collection is only the first batch, and there will be more in the future. There is a second and third batch.

As soon as the news came out, the refugees all became excited.

Refugees who had been annoyed that they were too late to sign up were gearing up and waiting for the next collection.

In Chang'an City, nobles from aristocratic families who had just experienced a great purge began to shift their attention and focus on Chu Mo.

And Chu Mo also heard what Zhang San and Li Si reported: After the signs of the young people were full, he immediately ordered them to brave the severe cold and go directly to Lingnan to make preliminary preparations and open roads.

Although he didn't know why his master was so urgent, driven by the heavy money, Zhang San and Li Si set off on the road with the 5000 young men and 2000 guards they had just recruited.

After Li Shimin learned the news, instead of stopping him, he ordered all the governments along the way to take full care of him.

In his opinion, if Chu Mo, the troublemaker, could get out of Chang'an early and bring peace to Chang'an, then it would not be impossible for him to help him.

Just when everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, a piece of bad news came out from the imperial city.

Just last night, Concubine Yang, who had been living in seclusion, passed away.

As soon as the news came out, the entire city of Chang'an was shocked.

When Chu Mo received the news of Concubine Yang's death, everyone was confused.

I had been joking and chatting with Concubine Yang in the palace before. It had only been a few days. How could a good person just disappear?

Without thinking, Chu Mo directly grabbed the collar of the man who came to report the news. After confirming the news again, he called Shi Xin and rushed towards the palace on a donkey.
