Chapter 272 Furious Li Er! All eunuchs can be killed! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"What the saint said is extremely true. There are no ghosts or gods in the world. I worship the saint as the living Buddha in the hearts of the people."
Ju Wenzhen laughed while kneeling, never missing an opportunity to flatter her boss.
After all, the man in front of him was the lucky star of their eunuch group. He could allow the eunuchs to take over the military power in an institutionalized manner. Such an emperor would be rare to encounter in thousands of years.
"You are the head of the internal officials, and you are in a confidential position at the moment. You should lead by example. I have heard a lot of bad news about Yang and Sun in recent days. You should mention them more and don't let me feel cold."
(Sun Rongyi, currently the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army Guard; Yang Zhilian, currently the current Lieutenant of the Left Shence Army Guard)
Say it.
Ju Wenzhen, who was kneeling, kowtowed repeatedly with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, this must be a rumor spread by a treacherous villain in the court. Seeing that Yang and Sun were favored by the Holy One, they maliciously slandered them. Please give me three days, and I will definitely investigate this matter!"
"The eunuchs in my court are all saints, and they have done nothing for the Li family of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shi smiled and said nothing, just waved his hand.
"I give this calligraphy to you."
On the rice paper, four words were left: Enough is enough.
At this time.
In the Zichen Palace, there were dozens of figures invisible to others, looking at the scene between Li Shi and Ju Wenzhen.
Immortal Master Ji Boying, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Zhao Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Tang Taizong Li Shimin and his subordinates from Tangjiabao, these people named Li all have a small golden melon hammer in their hands.
"Brother, looking at it this way, we feel that Tang Dezong Li Shi is not an ignorant person. He can see clearly, but he just doesn't want to care about it."
Lao Zhu looked at the four words written by Li Shi on the desk and praised them with a smile.
Zhao Da did not comment, while Liu Ji looked at the strange environment around him that he had never seen before. He thought that the decoration of this palace was really beautiful, much better than his Weiyang Palace. After returning, he must let Xiao He renovate according to this standard. Down!
Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Ji Boying glanced at the four words on the table. The pen was written with silver hooks and flying dragons and phoenixes. It was much prettier than his own writing. At first glance, it was Lian Jiazi.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be descended from their ancestors. Regardless of their political achievements, they could all write well.
As for whether Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, was the master of ignorance, the evaluation was based on the time period.
You can give him a nickname: the super low-profile Emperor Ming.
At the beginning of his succession to the throne, Li Shi used the power of strengthening the Ming Dynasty to take charge of his own affairs, withdrawing military power and trustworthy officials, practicing frugality and sparing the eunuchs, using Yang Yan to abolish the tax system, implement the "Two Taxes Law", and try to suppress the separatist forces of the vassal towns. The centralization of power was strengthened, and the wise minister Li Mi was appointed as the prime minister. He was united with Uihe in the north, Nanzhao in the south, and Dashi in the west. The political situation was once stable, and it gave people the impression that there was quite a momentum of reviving the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Shi was eager to cut down the vassal vassal, and he cut it off at the wrong time. After the failure to cut down the vassal vassal, especially after the Fengtian disaster ended, Li Shi, the wise king praised by the government and the public, began to spend the rest of his life in ruins.
After Li Shi returned to Chang'an, he became suspicious, especially of the courtiers and generals. His attitude towards the vassal towns also became peaceful, and he no longer mentioned the word "cutting the vassal". The eunuchs controlled the troops and favored traitors. The two tax laws gradually evolved into harsh laws. They levied miscellaneous taxes and opened a "palace market", which opened the door for eunuchs to ask for bribes. This palace market was like the tax supervisor of Old Wanli. Most of the people's wealth and anointing obtained went into the pockets of the eunuchs, and until the emperor The money in the private treasury is not saved even one out of ten.
The reason why Li Shi is the Ming Emperor is because he was just like Li Longji when he came to the throne. He worked hard to govern and wanted to create a prosperous world. In the later period, like Li Longji, he had a lack of brains.
A typical example of being wise in the early stage and dim in the later stage.
But after all, Li Longji created a prosperous generation, so even if Li Shi is given someone like Li Longji, it can only be a super low-end match.
Ji Boying also packaged all these contents about Li Shi to Li Er and everyone in Tangjiabao.
but.
In fact, it can be seen from the words Li Shi gave to Ju Wenzhen that Li Shi must have known about the misbehavior of these eunuchs, but did not intend to take care of it. This is a typical operation of pretending to be confused. This is not the same as the old Wanli's lack of officials. Compensation is a concept, and it is a manifestation of complete failure.
"I thank the saint for the words!"
Ju Wenzhen held up the calligraphy with both hands with a smile. He had more than a hundred such calligraphy given by the emperor at home, most of which were words of warning.
From the initial fear and uneasiness to the current acceptance and turning a deaf ear, he has figured out Li Shi's temperament and likes to play with words, so Ju Wenzhen simply framed all these words at home, and let people know, and deliberately spread them to the emperor In Li Shi's ears.
"These four words, I imitate the style of Yishao."
Li Shi said emphatically.
"That's all, I have nothing to talk about with you, an eunuch."
Li Shi chuckled and then put down the wolf hair in his hand.
"This slave is stupid."
And right now.
'untie. '
Following the Immortal Master's words in his mind, the invisibility restrictions on everyone were instantly released, and dozens of figures suddenly appeared, surrounding the royal case.
Suddenly, the smile on Li Shi's face froze.
Given the age of his birth, he would naturally not be able to recognize Li Er, Little Pheasant, Wu Zhao and Li Longji, but he could recognize Li Heng and Li Yu. These were his father and grandfather, and his head immediately buzzed. Buzzing.
'Dear mother! '
'There are so many ghosts in this world! '
Just when Li Shi was stunned, Li Shi's small and medium-sized golden melon didn't even allow Ju Wenzhen to react, and it was already hitting the kneeling Ju Wenzhen on the head.
And this is just the beginning.
Li Zhi, Wu Zhao, Li Longji, Li Heng, and Li Yu saw that their ancestors were all taking action, so how could they not take action? They all picked up the small golden melons in their hands and smashed them at Ju Wenzhen.
Ju Wenzhen, who was completely unprepared, was left with no intact bones from head to toe under this series of crazy greetings from the little pumpkin, and her whole body was shattered with fractures.
"Holy, holy..."
Ju Wenzhen, who was lying in a pool of blood, had miserable confusion in his eyes. He didn't even understand what was going on, so he raised his head with difficulty to look at Li Shi, who also looked shocked.
boom.
Li Er raised his foot and stomped it, crushing Ju Wenzhen's head. His eye sockets suddenly exploded, and a pair of eyeballs flew out like springs, landing squarely on the soles of Li Shi's feet.
All of them in Tangjiabao were covered in blood.
This scene is really bloody.
"Father, Father, this, this, this..."
Li Shi looked at Ju Wenzhen who was beaten to death, and then looked at Li Yu in front of him. He was speechless and stammering.
'Snapped'.
Li Yu's slap was already directed at Li Shi.
"You traitor, do you know what bastard things you have done?!"
Li Shi, who was stunned by his father's slap, covered his face and stood there for a long time. He really didn't know what he had done. He wanted to ask, why did you kill my good slave as soon as you came up? This is something I cultivated with great difficulty!
"There's one more stop, don't waste time."
Ji Boying glanced at Li Er and spoke calmly.
One word comes out.
This made Li Er, who originally planned to educate Li Shi personally, choose to endure it temporarily and wait until he returns to Zuixian Tower to let these unscrupulous descendants know what the Li family law is.
"yes."
Li Er put away the small golden melon in his hand and pinned it to his waist.
"Brother, judging from Xiao Tang's problem, the next one should be Tang Shunzong Li Song."
"Alas, this Li Song is really pitiful."
During this trip to the Tang Dynasty, although Lao Zhu, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, had an attitude of watching the excitement, when he mentioned Li Song, the eleventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but show some sympathy in his eyes.
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
Questions raised by Li Er in Zuixian Tower.
From Tang Dezong Li Shi, Li Er was able to learn why the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were able to gain the authority to depose and establish the emperor. The reason was that Li Shi gave the eunuchs the systematic power to control the imperial army.
The power of the officials in the Tang Dynasty is completely different from the chaos of the officials in the Ming Dynasty. No matter how powerful the officials in the Ming Dynasty are, no matter how much the literati criticize them, they are just the lackeys kept by the emperor, real domestic slaves. Their power It comes entirely from the Emperor.
As for the powerful officials of the Tang Dynasty, their power did not come from the emperor, but from the institutional structure and military power.
As the great Run once said: Where does political power come from?
to be honest.
The powerful eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were the dogs raised by the emperor. They were absolutely loyal dogs. Sometimes, when something went wrong, they would even kill the dog to appease the emperor.
The powerful eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were the only evil servants with guns beside the emperor. As long as the evil servants were unhappy, they could urinate on the master's head at any time, or even kill the master with one shot. bear any legal responsibility.
Dezong Li Shi was the one who issued the gun to the evil servant, and he also thoughtfully prepared an indefinite gun license recognized and protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty for the evil servant.
"Li Song?"
Li Er frowned when he heard this. As Taizong, the names of these descendants were more unfamiliar to him than each one.
"Well, Tang Shunzong Li Song was the only emperor in the Tang Dynasty who was forced to abdicate by eunuchs."
After a moment of silence, Ji Boying added another sentence.
"It can also be said that he was the first emperor to be killed by eunuchs."
After all, the question asked by Li Er included the first Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was killed by eunuchs.
Li Song, Emperor Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly died without warning in the fifth month after becoming the Supreme Empress. , after all, these eunuchs hated Shunzong Li Song.
The moment he heard the words 'killed by eunuchs', Li Er's eyes suddenly turned violent, and he couldn't help but turn on the automatic mode to hit people with the small golden melon on his waist.
The expression on Li Er's face fell into Lao Zhu's eyes, making him feel extremely familiar.
He still remembered the first time he heard about the ridiculous things done by the descendants of the old Zhu family, and his expression was similar to that of Li Er now, wishing to punish these unscrupulous descendants one by one.
Old rules.
Ji Boying must first summarize the life story of Tang Shunzong Li Song, and then package it and send it to the Tang family fort people, otherwise they will not know the whole story at all.
Answer your questions and provide one-stop service.
Looking at Li Song, Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty, his life was accompanied by eight words: not surprised by favors or disgrace, and be content with the situation.
He was appointed as the crown prince at the age of eighteen. When he was young, he also wielded a sword and rode a horse, and personally led an army to resist the rebels. After his father Li Shi broke the law, he even wore armor and went into battle in the Battle of Fengtian. He took the lead and fought the rebels for more than forty days. .
Of course, it's another thing to be depressed by his father Li Shi in the later period.
At the beginning of Li Song's accession to the throne, he used Wang Shuwen, Liu Zongyuan and others to carry out drastic reforms, which was intended to eliminate vassal towns, depose powerful officials, regain the power of the imperial army, and reshape the unification of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, these people he used were all with the same intentions. Utopian and idealistic literati take too big steps and work unrealistically.
As the longest-serving emperor in the Tang Dynasty, Li Song served as the crown prince for 26 years in fear, which made everyone depressed. In the end, he only served as the emperor for 186 days and didn't even have a New Year's Eve dinner. Not only Among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, he was probably the fastest in the history of emperors to transition from the role of emperor to supreme emperor.
Moreover, when he was the prince, because he was jealous of his father Li Shi, Li Song was afraid of being punished for saying the wrong thing. He also suffered a stroke a year before he ascended the throne. He completely lost his speech ability and became mute, so he also had The nickname of 'The Mute Emperor'.
At the same time, he was also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was given a posthumous title for the first time after his death, the Great Sage Da'an Xiao Emperor. This can be regarded as his son Li Chun's guilt towards his old father.
And the reason why he is content with the situation is because he can really endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
First of all, he calmly accepted his grandfather, the talented man of Daizong Li Yu, as his concubine, and perfectly realized the joy of ancestors and grandchildren; then, he gave his biological son to his father Li Shi as a son, and successfully married his biological son from father to son. Became brothers.
Whether it was his secretiveness when he was the crown prince, or his efforts to get rid of the current abuses after he ascended the throne, whether he was facing his father Li Shi's favoritism towards King Shu Li Yi, or his son Li Chun's pressure on him, whether it was the eunuch who forced him to choose the throne. The crown prince still forced him to abdicate. Whether he was in the Ninth Five or became the Supreme Emperor, he always took things as they came. There is almost no trace of any resistance he had in these matters in the history books.
But for such an emperor, his final outcome was at the hands of eunuchs.
certainly.
There are many speculations in later generations that Li Song's death should also be caused by his son Xianzong Li Chun, at least by default, because after Li Chun ascended the throne, he did not settle the accounts with Ju Wenzhen, Liu Guangqi and others. Instead, he promoted officials and nobles, making these people To live in peace until old age.
"damn thing!"
After Li Er had a general understanding of the deeds of Tang Shunzong Li Song, he stepped even harder and crushed the head of the already dead Ju Wenzhen.
"It's all the fault of you, a rebellious son, and how much you have damaged one of my great saints!"
Li Yu also became furious immediately and slapped Li Shi several times in succession, causing Li Shi's face to be swollen.
Before Li Shi could recover from his confusion.
Wu Zhao was holding the small golden melon and was about to smash it down towards Li Shi, but was quickly stopped by Li Zhi's little pheasant next to him.
because.
Wu Zhao hit Li Shi's head. If this gourd were smashed down, it would bloom on the spot, or it would turn into a brainless person on the spot.
"Mei Niang, after all, these are the descendants of your and my descendants. They shouldn't be so bloody. Education should be the main thing. Education should be the main thing."
Hearing this, Wu Zhao shouted sharply.
“You’ve already passed your forties, what kind of education do you still have?!”
Little Pheasant comforted him repeatedly, and Wu Zhao finally gave up, but the terrifying murderous intent in his eyes still made Li Shi feel trembling all over and his scalp numb.
Is this the legendary Empress Zetian? It's absolutely terrible!
"Go on, don't waste time."
Ji Boying didn't want to continue wasting time here, so he said so.
Uh-huh.
All the people in the palace disappeared.
In the Zichen Palace, only a smashed body was left, and the pungent smell of blood floated in the air.
………………………
The time and space of Yongzhen in the Tang Dynasty.
In August of the first year of Yongzhen, Daming Palace, Penglai Hall.
Penglai Hall is located behind Zichen Hall and is a separate hall of the sleeping palace. It faces Taiye Pond in the north, and its foundation is several feet higher than the poolside, allowing for a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.
now.
By the window of the palace, the emperor Li Song with gray temples looked at the mountains and rivers outside, bending over his desk and holding a brush of ink in his hand, swaying it freely.
behind him.
The privy envoy eunuch Ju Wenzhen, the privy envoy eunuch Liu Guangqi, the lieutenant of the Shence Army on the left and right, the Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy Wei Gao, the Jingnan Jiedu envoy Pei Jun, etc., as well as the envoys sent to the capital by various Jiedu envoys, are all He stood quietly, watching Li Song who was writing beside the imperial case.
"The saint is above, and with the blessing of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of our dynasty has the legacy of Taizong in the past, and he will definitely be able to recreate the prosperous age of Zhenguan."
"Therefore, I boldly report that the saint's dragon body is not in good condition, and he may not be able to continue to shoulder the great cause of reviving the Tang Dynasty. He should follow the example of the sages Yao and Shun, and cede his throne to Prince Li Chun, the superintendent of the country, and ascend to the throne of the Supreme Emperor to take care of himself in his old age."
"In this way, the world can be settled, the people can be at peace, and the country will be blessed."
The person who spoke was Liu Guangqi, the second most important eunuch in the Dezong Dynasty. He and Ju Wenzhen were both privy envoys and participated in political affairs.
"Please saints imitate the sages Yao and Shun, and become the crown prince!"
The rest of the people spoke in unison, and it looked like they had rehearsed in advance.
Listening to the words of the teammates around him, the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, who had been smashed in another time and space, smiled, and the corners of his mouth were even more proud.
He had single-handedly supported the emperor in front of him, and at first he didn't think it was anything.
Even if Li Song wanted to carry out reforms, he didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, a mute emperor who couldn't even speak had to rely on handwriting to quarrel, what kind of trouble could he make.
But within two months, Ju Wenzhen realized that something was wrong. Wang Shuwen and his gang were not reforming, they were totally revolutionizing!
The Yongzhen Revolution has three major missions: first, to get rid of the eunuch forces; second, to get rid of the vassal forces; third, to get rid of the powerful families.
The step was too big, too crazy.
When Li Song appointed military generals to take over the military power of the Shence Army, Ju Wenzhen and his group of eunuchs could not sit still. They decisively refused to hand over power and found a reason to kill the military generals appointed by Li Song.
You actually want to deprive noble eunuchs like us of the military power, and you want to abolish the ancestral system of eunuchs commanding the imperial army. This is really intolerable for pigs but intolerable for castrated dogs!
The eunuchs gathered together for a few minutes and came to a consensus.
Dry! Gotta fuck him!
As a promising doer, Ju Wenzhen, the leader of the eunuchs of the Action Movement, does what he says.
The theoretical process for issuing imperial edicts in the Tang Dynasty was that the emperor expressed his wish to issue an imperial edict, which was drafted by the Zhongshu Province, reviewed by the Menxia Province, and then issued to the Shangshu Province for delivery to the six ministries for execution.
But this is only a commonly used imperial edict. There is another kind, which is that the emperor personally issues it, bypassing three provinces, and the eunuchs in the inner court directly convey it to the person who receives the imperial edict.
This power is now in the hands of the eunuch leader Ju Wenzhen.
Ju Wenzhen first made an edict and abolished the positions of Wang Shuwen and other reformist bachelors, so that these people were no longer qualified to enter the palace to see Li Song. To enter the palace to see the emperor, the eunuch had to nod, which was obviously impossible.
Then, this group of eunuchs bypassed Tang Shunzong Li Song and did an unprecedented thing without authorization, that is, when the emperor was on the throne, they forged an edict and appointed Li Chun, the king of Guangling, as the crown prince.
If such an unprecedented thing had been allowed to happen in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would have exploded with rage on the spot and would not give up until he personally slaughtered the eunuchs from top to bottom.
After waiting for a few days, the Jiedu envoys or envoys of Jiedu envoys appointed by various places came to Beijing one after another. Ju Wenzhen and others took the Zen edict and entered the Daming Palace together, forcing Li Songchan to abdicate.
This is the scene that is happening right now.
"Sage, the matter has come to an end, why delay? The courtiers are all waiting for the saint in the front hall."
Liu Guangqi continued, his words already meant to force him.
Li Song, the Emperor Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty, who was sitting at the table by the window, still ignored the words of these eunuchs. His face was calm and he continued to write his handwriting at the desk. However, the speed of his writing was getting faster and faster, which showed that Li Song The anger in my heart is vented at the tip of my pen.
"Saint, don't force me and others to take action. It will damage the majesty of the saint's heavenly family and the scene will not be pretty."
The person who said this is Pei Jun, who is currently the military governor of Jingnan. Although he is a big boss of a vassal town in terms of official position, he is actually a eunuch's lackey. The reason why he can sit in the prominent position of military governor of Fangfang is , not because of military merit, but because he was the adopted son of the eunuch Dou Wenchang.
Dou Wenchang, a close eunuch of Li Shi, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, and the first lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army Guards.
Since the eunuchs took control of the imperial army and the power of the government, the military governors from all over the Tang Dynasty have been fawning over these powerful officials. Some military governors in vassal towns are direct descendants of these powerful officials, such as Pei Jun.
It has become a common practice for the inner court officials and local vassals to collude with each other. Until the wall is broken, neither the emperor nor the court officials have any say in front of these people.
At this time, Ju Wenzhen, who had never spoken before, spoke.
"hehe."
"Sage, as the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. I advise you to be more knowledgeable. Chang'an's 200,000 forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of local soldiers and horses are all waiting for your answer."
"Oh, it's my fault. I forgot that you can't speak. How about asking a saint to write down the four characters of the Zen position of prince?"
The words fell.
The eunuchs all laughed mockingly. It is simply ridiculous that a mute emperor wants to take away the military power of eunuchs and vassal towns.
Then, Ju Wenzhen held her head high and walked to Li Song with the Zen edict that she had already prepared. She subconsciously looked at the rice paper on the imperial desk, and her heart suddenly shuddered.
I saw that this huge rice paper was filled with rows and rows of the same five characters, all written in wild cursive.
"Any eunuch can be killed."
In an instant, Ju Wenzhen had murderous intent in his eyes.
Anyway, in his opinion, there is actually not much difference between deposing the emperor and killing the emperor.
Also at this moment.
Beside the Taiye Pool, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and strong winds roared into the Penglai Hall.
Behind this group of eunuchs, more than a dozen figures appeared quietly, each carrying a small golden melon, and a pair of gloomy blood-red eyes that exuded a fierce light, staring at every eunuch present.
Especially Li Er, he can no longer restrain the ancient power in his body!
