Facts have proved that Li Xuan is undoubtedly a foolish king.
All forces continued to send good news to the emperor who had already hid to the extent that the siege of Chang'an City had been lifted and the rebel Huang Chao had been completely destroyed.
However, Li Xuan was frightened by the previous martial arts battle.
He had never encountered such a critical moment in his life. The enemy's front was only a few miles away from him.
Li Xuan was frightened and kept sending messengers to confirm the news, basically one messenger every three days.
The officers and soldiers from all over Guanzhong were extremely annoyed and had less and less respect for the emperor.
It was not until all the Taoist camps around the capital were under the command of Zheng Tian and sent people to quickly deliver Huang Chao's head to the emperor that Li Zhang finally stopped having nightmares.
Immediately, the overjoyed Li Xuan immediately conveyed the imperial edict, allowing the former prime minister Zheng Tian to be promoted to the post of prime minister again.
As for Lu Xie, everyone just ignored it.
There were no complications with this appointment. Zheng Tian's qualifications were definitely sufficient, and he was also the nominal commander-in-chief of this crusade against Huang Chao. It was natural for him to win this reward.
But the next imperial edict caused an uproar.
Zhu Wen, who was originally just an ordinary general under Huang Chao's command, was not only given the title of Quanzhong because of his contribution to killing Huang Chao, but was also awarded the title of General Zuojin Wuwei, the envoy to the camp in Hezhong, the governor of Bianzhou, and the Xuanwu Military Festival. A series of honors and real power such as being an ambassador
.
All soldiers and horses were dissatisfied with this appointment.
Everyone worked tirelessly to attack Huang Chao, but in the end a traitor took the lead through rebellion. Who can bear this?
Being a traitor is not a big deal. In the era of feudal rule in the late Tang Dynasty, those who had never been a traitor were embarrassed to talk to others.
The problem is that Zhu Wen, who has no qualifications and no ability, has won the first place. It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
All the Jiedu envoys were not in a hurry to attack, but all looked at Chang'an City.
Because everyone knows that the real success of this battle was Li Yunze, who was stationed in Chang'an City, defeated Huang Chao several times, and eliminated his main force.
To take the lead, he is definitely the most suitable.
Li Yunze's reward also came, and the envoy from Chengdu read the imperial edict to Li Yunze.
Based on his military exploits, he was assigned to serve as the military envoy of Xia Suiyin.
Naturally, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone knows that Xia Suiyin is a poor place, and it is difficult to feed the local people on the land there.
Moreover, due to the invasion of Tibet, trade routes were cut off, and even if they wanted to collect taxes, they could not collect even a few copper coins.
This is no reward for merit, it is clearly derogatory.
As for Zhuge Shuang, the former military governor of Xia Suiyin, although he returned to the court with Zhu Wen, he had no strength without soldiers at this time. Naturally, no one spoke for him, and the military governor was also kicked off.
Li Yunze was also slightly surprised, wondering where he had offended Li Xuan, or the eunuch group?
Also, who gave them the courage to think that they would run to Xia Suiyin obediently? Someone Liang?
I have to say that Li Yunze really offended Li Xuan and the eunuch group.
The reason is very simple. When Li Yunze let the children of aristocratic families leave the city before, he charged them a fee based on their head. Even cattle, horses and donkeys had to be paid.
The children of the aristocratic family were not the ones who could suffer. Although Heng Dao, who was photographed by the soldiers at that time, did not dare to speak too much, when he found the emperor, he naturally started to say bad things about him like crazy.
This group of people even slandered Li Yunze for having an affair with the concubines and princesses who were abandoned in Chang'an City, and they spoke as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
In addition, the eunuch group that Li Xuan trusted most was also speaking ill of Li Yunze, which naturally had a bad influence on Li Yunze.
As for why the eunuch group also wanted to confront Li Yunze, it was because on the one hand, Li Yunze did not understand the rules and never paid tribute to the eunuchs.
On the other hand, it was because the eunuchs' property, residences, businesses, warehouses, etc. in Chang'an City were all confiscated by Li Yunze in the name of wartime requisition.
For the eunuchs who had only limbs left, their only concern in life was their wealth.
Li Yunze stole their belongings, which naturally offended them to death.
As for Li Yunze, he treats everyone equally, and the ministers, nobles, nobles, and relatives of the royal family are all copied in the same way. Do the eunuchs care about this?
Driven by various forces, Li Yunze, the real leader, received the worst reward.
In fact, if there weren't too many soldiers and horses around him, he would have taken it and stuffed it into a prison car and transported it to Chengdu for brewing.
"Why didn't Jiedu accept the order?"
The eunuch who read out the imperial edict interrupted Li Yunze's thoughts with his sharp voice. His eyes were full of gloating, "Is it possible that he is dissatisfied with the imperial court?"
"Yes." Li Yunze nodded with an indifferent expression, "I'm very dissatisfied, and it's not just me who is dissatisfied, but also the 100,000 troops under my command."
Hearing this, many soldiers around them drew their swords one after another, raised their chests and contracted their abdomens to look like a glaring Vajra.
"You, you, you..." The eunuch was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yunze to be so direct. Could he be rebelling?
Thinking of this, I immediately lost my arrogance, my teeth chattered, and I couldn't find any bones in my legs.
"Bros."
Li Yunze glanced at the eunuch indifferently, turned to the many sergeants and roared, "We fought bloody battles and wiped out the main force of the rebel Huang Chao in one fell swoop. But how did the imperial court treat us? Not to mention not giving out rewards, but also Send us to the land of Xia Suiyin
. Are you convinced? "
The soldiers raised their swords in the air and responded, "I don't accept it~!"
! "
"Since we are not convinced, then we will ask the court for an explanation." At this point, Li Yunze showed a smile. "If the court does not give a satisfactory explanation, then we will select a virtuous person from the clan to assist the upper left."
There was nothing much to say. The soldiers naturally cheered and the atmosphere was high.
After stabilizing the morale of the army, Li Yunze looked at Lu Xie, "Please ask the prime minister to go to Chengdu and have a good discussion with the emperor and ministers. If the sergeants are dissatisfied, don't blame me."
Lu Xie smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the assignment.
As for the eunuchs who delivered the order, Li Yunze showed contempt and "broke their five...limbs, threw them into the prison cart and let the prime minister take them away."
Li Yunze lived up to expectations and became the first person. Many feudal towns gathered in Guanzhong immediately applauded, and then sat on the horse and gnawed courgettes to watch the excitement.
When Lu Xie arrived in Chengdu, everyone who had packed their bags and saluted and was preparing to return to Chang'an fell into panic again.
Their first reaction was to mobilize King Qin's army that had gathered in Guanzhong to encircle and suppress Li Yunze.
But the result was not satisfactory.
Zheng Tian made it very clear that Li Yunze was not Huang Chao.
First of all, the soldiers and horses under his command are extremely powerful, and Huang Chao's main force was defeated by him.
Secondly, Li Yunze occupied Chang'an City, and Huang Chao's 600,000-strong army was killed instead of being defeated. It would not necessarily be a good thing to be replaced by the imperial army.
In the end, the soldiers and horses in each town were dissatisfied with the rewards from the imperial court. It was almost certain that they would not work hard, and it was even impossible for them to join Li Yunze's camp directly.
After all, everyone said that a virtuous person should be selected from the clan.
Li Xuan and the eunuchs panicked.
Li Zhen was afraid of being forcibly abdicated. He was not even in Chang'an City at this time, and it was very likely that he would end up like the old Li Longji.
He was called the Supreme Emperor from afar, and then he just waited here to die.
The eunuchs were even more afraid. The reason why they were so awesome was because they controlled the emperor.
But if the emperor is not in control, then anyone can easily kill them.
After confirming that force was not enough, they quickly gave in.
Lu Dai came back with a new imperial edict, conferring Li Yunze the title of General Zuo Jin Wuwei, setting up a camp in Hezhong to recruit envoys, serving as governor of Bianzhou, and envoy of the Xuanwu Army...
Except for not giving a surname, Zhu Wen's reward was perfectly copied.
In Lu Xie's words, he originally wanted to give the surname Li, but Li Yunze's surname was Li, so naturally there was no need for it.
Li Yunze asked curiously, "I went to Bianzhou, where will Zhu Wen go?"
Lu Xie gloated and said, "Xia Suiyin."
Yes, it was a direct swap.
Li Yunze nodded slowly, "Not bad."
The reason why he did not find a clan in Chang'an City to create a puppet emperor was not because he was not skilled in business, but because the Tang Dynasty was still strong at this time, but it was not very effective for the emperor to talk to the court.
But it is not very effective, but it is still of some use. When the time comes, Li Zhang will definitely order all the soldiers and horses in the world to go to Chang'an City to serve the king.
Li Yunze is not afraid of war, but brutal fighting will weaken the power of the Tang Dynasty, give opportunities to the Tubo Shatuo Khitan and other ministries outside, and turn the entire Guanzhong into a hell on earth.
He came to this era to save the people who were trembling under the samurai sword, not to destroy them.
For the sake of the people of the world, Li Yunze chose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden!
The post-war disposal after Huang Chao was annihilated had been agitated for several months, and it finally came to an end.
Zhu Wen, who originally gained the most, was only happy for half a class before being thrown away from Xia Suiyin.
He was naturally very dissatisfied, but the problem was that although he still had some strength, he was far from being able to compete with the army.
Any attempt to resist at this time will inevitably lead to a dead end.
Zhu Wen had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow the blood alive, and went to Xia Suiyin with anger in his arms.
He could finally see that the authority of the emperor and the court had long been lost. So many vassal towns in the world would completely destroy the court sooner or later. As long as they accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity, they would surely rise again.
Not surprisingly, Zhu Wen deeply resented Li Yunze.
Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!
What Zhu Wen didn't know was that when he wanted to take revenge on Li Yunze, Li Yunze was also thinking of killing him!
Others don't know who Zhu Wen is, but Li Yunze is very knowledgeable.
So he originally planned to eliminate Zhu Wen's hidden danger while going to Bianzhou.
But unexpectedly, another human demon unexpectedly saved Zhu Wen.
This person's name is Qin Zongquan, he is a real demon king, and his cruelty is even worse than Huang Chao.
When this man was marching, he carried salted corpses in his cart to serve as military rations. He robbed ordinary people everywhere and cooked them as he pleased. Within its sphere of influence, the fish and birds are scattered, the human habitation is cut off, and the wilderness is covered with thorns and tangles, which can be called a hell on earth.
This human devil sent troops to plunder the pass and immediately attracted Li Yunze's attention.
What does it mean to seek death? This is it.
