Chapter 832 Chicken Ribs
Li Zhongyan was poisoned when he was drinking with people in the palace, and for a while, there were rumors in Guzang City, all of which said that it was the poison of Liu Yun in the internal history.
Liu Yun was frightened, and immediately conspired with Guan Jin, Cao Zhen, Fan Wenjin, Yu Changsong and others, and rushed into the palace to kill several of Li Zhongyan's children.
In addition, he killed hundreds of Li clan's relatives, which was almost a root for Li Liang, and the township party of that year was no worse than the enemy.
Cao Zhen is the oldest qualified and wants to be the emperor, but Guan Jin is unwilling, thinking that he has the greatest credit, and he should be the head of everyone.
The situation in Guzang City is extremely bad, and the generals outside are also hesitating, whether to bring troops back to Guzang to help their favorite candidates fight for the throne or something, or it is not bad to be the emperor himself.
At this time, Fan Wenjin persuaded Xie Tongshi, Wei Shizheng and others to help Guan Jin rush into Cao Zhen's mansion and kill Shang Shu's left servant Cao Zhen and dozens of his cronies.
For a while, everyone in Guzang City was in danger......
In fact, at this time, Guan Jin and his ilk didn't want to be the emperor, and Guan Jin and his ilk relied on the support of these people who started Li Liang, and once there was internal strife, their strength would become weaker and weaker.
Guan Jin didn't realize this at all, and it was just enough to kill the Li clan, and also killed Cao Zhen and others, their foundation in the northwest had actually been cut off by Guan Jin and others himself.
And many people think that Guan Jin is murderous, and his six relatives don't recognize him, and they don't want him to be the emperor.
So Guan Jin died, and he dug a big pit for himself with his own hands and buried himself and his relatives in it.
Fan Wenjin only used a glass of poisonous wine to make Da Liang completely cold, it can really be said that the times make heroes, when Li Po sent him to Guzang, it is estimated that he would never dream that he would send such a ruthless guy.
And whether it is Xie Tongshi or Wei Shizheng, they have no idea of becoming the emperor themselves, the folk customs in the northwest are too strong, and under the repeated chaos, there are too many lessons from the past, so that they dare not come forward easily.
So when Fan Wenjin brought everyone together again, there were not so many words, and a group of guys who looked like killers got together, pressed the knife in their hands, and under Fan Wenjin's proposal, they reluctantly reached an agreement and surrendered to the King of Han.
It's a pity that the time of the commotion is too long, and by this time, Qu Tutong has already dedicated Qinzhou, and the people in the northwest have missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but under the leaderless group of dragons, there is Fan Wenjin who insists on his own opinion, and no one has the heart to repeat it anymore.
These people almost fell in a daze, and when the Northwest Express reported to Chang'an, Li Po started the first day of the emperor's life, and this surprise was relatively big.
Before that, Zhang Lun, who was stationed in Qinzhou, had just received a letter from Fan Wenjin, and immediately asked Li Nian to lead thousands of cavalry troops to rush to Guzang.
In fact, at this time, the King of Han has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the flag has also changed its style, although Li Po has a soft spot for the sun, moon and star flags, but he just asked He Chou to make some fine-tuning and change the color, but it does have a clear distinction from the sun, moon and star flags of the former Sui.
When Chang'an received the good news from the northwest, Li Nian had already led his army into Guzang City, and spread it to the counties of Hexi, ordering the counties and generals to surrender immediately.
At the same time, it also let the people in the northwest know that Li Po, the king of Han, had already broken Li Yuan and occupied Xijing, and the emperor was only between morning and evening.
…………………………
In the side hall of the Taiji Palace, Li Po quietly looked at the good news in his hand.
There are two people sitting not far away, one is slender, handsome and handsome, and has a bookish air, it is Yan Shigu, who is now serving as a regular attendant of Tongzhi and Scattered Cavalry, and Yang Xu and Yang Xu take turns to consult around Li Po.
Yan Shigu is a native of Yongzhou Wannian, his ancestral home is Langya, Shandong, he was born in a scholarly family, his father and ancestors are all famous families, and Yan Shigu himself is not inferior to his father and ancestors.
He is a well-known literary world in Kansai, at the age of 30, there are many writings, Li Yuan loves his literary talent, Ren is a scholar of the Chinese Academy, is a frequent guest in the banquet of the beasts, Li Yuan often makes his poems against the banquet, everyone is out of reach, and the honor is crowned at that time.
Replaced Li Polai as the emperor, the country name was not changed, but the person did not become, Cen Wenwen replaced him as the Zhongshu Sheren, and Yan Shigu came to Menxia Province and became a regular attendant of Tongzhi Sancai, which was almost a composite of later assistants, secretaries, scribes and other positions.
So his seat was different from the other one, he was here to accompany the emperor to work.
The dust on the other man's body seemed to have not disappeared, and there were traces of military service everywhere on his body, his hair and beard were gray, and he looked very old after the fatigue of the journey.
But the spirit is still there, and there is always majesty in Gu Pan, he is Qu Tutong who rushed back from Qinzhou, a very typical Guanxi nobleman.
This person is a descendant of the attached Xi people, who has not been passed down for several generations, and some of the physiological characteristics of foreign people are still obvious, such as single eyelids, big pie face, and so on.
Of course, these are not the point, he was re-appointed to the post of secretary of the military department, and Wang Zhibi went to open the mansion.
Qu Tutong tossed and turned, and finally returned to the military department, and his heart was also very complicated, looking at the young and strong and tall new emperor sitting on it, the image of Li Yuan unexpectedly appeared in Qu Tutong's mind.
However, the two emperors are not comparable at all, regardless of family background, experience, age, way of doing things, etc., they are very different.
Perhaps the only thing that is somewhat similar is that they seem to be very enthusiastic about the name of Tang?
Even Qu Tutong, who is already an old minister of the Five Dynasties, can't help but feel a little absurd when he thinks of this, the Tang Dynasty is still there, and the emperors are all surnamed Li, but they have changed the world and the world, which is really incredible.
But in the end, everyone accepted this quite calmly, maybe it was because you had happened too many unreasonable things, anyway, no matter how you put it, few people were entangled in this matter.
The new emperor was capricious once and passed the test smoothly.
The good news is very simple, the Northwest has won again, and only a brief description of the results is given, and the process is not involved.
Ke Jiebao also attached a handwritten letter from Fan Wenjin, the right servant of Liang Guoshangshu, which described the causes and consequences of the entire chaos, of course, there must have been some exaggeration, but Li Po was still able to roughly grasp the situation at that time.
This is not the first time that Fan Wenjin has made a contribution to himself, when he participated in the civil strife in Liang and achieved a phased victory, he sent someone to bring back a letter, informing the King of Han that he had successfully "envoyed" to Liang and became an official here.
But he Fan Wenjin is not a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, and he is still an envoy sent by the King of Han to the Liang Kingdom.
In fact, when he received Fan Wenjin's letter for the first time, Li Po was also very surprised, it was not that he felt unbelievable about the civil strife in Liangguo, but that those people in the northwest could tolerate an envoy as a high-ranking official, which was really incomprehensible.
And Fan Wenjin was not the first to do this, and An Xinggui was an envoy sent by Li Yuan, who actually held the position of a general there.
You see, it's all messy, the first rebellion started with the An brothers, and the second time it was Fan Wenjin who made waves.
The result......
This good news is very chicken, Li Po sighed secretly.
The barren land in the northwest was useless when the Central Plains was in turmoil, and now even if there is all the land west of the river, it is impossible to raise horses here and trade in a short time.
Moreover, after the rebellion of Guzang, people's minds changed, and whenever something was wrong everywhere, some people would jump out and make waves, and it would be difficult to restore stability.
Especially the intermingling of various ethnic groups there, after these wars, countless blood feuds have been planted, which is not at all something that can be eliminated by one or two generations.
Tuyuhun, Turkic, Tuqiang and other tribes will be the source of trouble, and it is estimated that for a long time, he will have no time to look west.
Perhaps the only good thing about this good news was that it would increase the cohesion of the people under his rule, and the good news, especially the good news of the frontier, was the most willing thing to hear today.
The world has been in turmoil for too long, and the people are at ease, whether they are nobles or ordinary people, they are eager for a great victory ahead, because it means that they are one step closer to the unification of the world.
………………………………
Li Po read it carefully, and looked up at Qutu Channel: "The Northwest Victory, what do you think?" ”
Qu Tutong did not hesitate, he must have thought about it before coming, "The minister thought that Li Liang had died, and the Liang State was not to be afraid, and he was hesitant to be stationed in Qinzhou before, first, there was no edict to order me to lead the army westward, and secondly, it was useless to take it, in fact, it was only to wait for the world to settle a little, and the Liang Kingdom would not attack itself......
Now, it's early, so if you let it guard itself, I'll just wait and see. ”
In fact, he still has nothing to say, more than 100,000 people have been stationed in Qinzhou for several years without moving, in addition to preparing for Xiliang, a very important reason is that Li Shimin has too many cronies in the Northwest Army, and only by transferring these people and killing them can people be reassured.
Now that Li Shimin is gone, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng's father and son are also dead, so there is no need to mention it to the new master.
…………………………
This statement almost coincides with what Li Po thought, so he nodded lightly, "Let the officials give rewards to the meritorious ministers, and all the ministers in the northwest will be retained, and they will be in their original positions, and those who are stubborn will be cut down, and all the proceeds will go to the meritorious people."
As for the military department, send an order to Li Nian, let him choose the officials of the northwest counties, and the children of the generals to join the army, I am short of cronies and guards, send them back to Chang'an to serve me.
ordered Li Nian, Xue Wanche, and Wei Chigong to return to Jingzhao to rest and prepare grain and grass for them...... You know why? ”
Qu Tutong was listening, pondering this one by one in his heart, and he accepted his opinions in full, but in such a short period of time, it was really not easy to think of this.
It's really clear and thoughtful...... If it were Li Yuan, what would he do? The result may be similar, but the process will definitely not be so simple, and it will have to drag on for more than ten days.
Again, there is no comparison between the two people.
