Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean!" ”

He has already reacted that Li Jiancheng wants him Yang Jian to support Li Xiuning's son to ascend to the throne in the future and become the new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and then usurp the throne. Copy this address to view %77%77%77%2e%62%69%71%69%2e%6d%65

In 578 AD, after the death of Emperor Wu Yu Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Qi Yu ascended the throne. Yang Jian's eldest daughter Yang Lihua was named the queen, and Yang Jian was promoted to the general of the Zhu State and the great Sima.

But Yu is a mediocre and incompetent emperor, he does not ask about the government, indulges in wine, and the courtiers and generals dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Not only did he not listen to the advice of his loyal ministers, but he felt that the emperor was not satisfactory. So he finally came up with a free trick: to give up the emperor to his 6-year-old son. Claiming to be Emperor Tianyuan, he lived in the harem, eating, drinking and having fun with his concubines and palace maids all day long, and this absurd life caused him to die at the age of 22.

Yu's son, that is, Yang Jian's grandson Yu Xian ascended the throne, that is, the last emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou Jing, after he became emperor, he appointed his grandfather Yang Jian as the prime minister, and took over the power of the court.

Because Emperor Jing of Zhou was only 7 years old when he ascended the throne and was still an ignorant child, Yang Jian controlled the government of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a relative with the help of Zheng Yi and Liu.

After Yang Jian became prime minister, he began his plan to usurp the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, first deceiving the five kings of the Northern Zhou clan, Zhao Wangzhao, Chen Wangchun, Yue Wangsheng, Dai Wangda, and Teng Wang to Chang'an. Yongzhou Mubi Wang Xian and Zhao, Chen and other five kings were killed by Yang Jian, and Yang Jian appointed Wei Xiaokuan to send troops to defeat Wei Chi Hui and eliminate the political enemies who threatened him.

On the first day of February in 581 AD, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty issued an edict announcing Chan concession on the grounds that Yang Jian was expected to return. Yang Jian let and accept the mandate of heaven, since the prime minister's house often entered the palace, the preparation of the emperor is located in the Linguang Palace, the country name is the Great Sui, change the Yuan to open the emperor, and announce the amnesty of the world.

Li Yuan understood that Li Jiancheng was saying that his current situation was similar to Yang Jian's back then. His daughter Li Xiuning is the emperor's beloved concubine, and has a daughter, if she has another child, she will hope to become the next emperor of the Zhou Dynasty after Yuming. At this time, the Li family will surely usher in the opportunity to make a comeback. Yang Jian can usurp the throne and rebuild Li Tang in general, and he can continue to be a relative when he retires, and enjoy glory and wealth forever.

"Good! Built, your suggestion I agreed! Li Yuan got up at this time and said, "Even if I can't see the day when I revive the Tang Dynasty, I believe that you and my grandson can also hope to see it!" Early tomorrow morning, you and Yuan Ji will come to the court to tell the ministers about this matter, and let everyone discuss how to negotiate with the Zhou Dynasty to protect the greatest rights and interests of my Li family and Datang! ”

After Li Yuanji's defeat in Shuofang, Li Yuan also found that his little boy was really a dou who couldn't be supported in the war. So he had to transfer him back to Chang'an, and sent Yang Shidao as a general to guard Xiao Pass.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuan announced his intention to surrender to the ministers in the palace and hall of the palace in Chang'an City, and explained to everyone that after he surrendered, Yuming would appoint him as the king of Tang, and Chang Li Jiancheng would be the king of Tang. The ministers of the Tang Dynasty will also be hired according to their abilities and specialties, and they will not set up obstacles and enter the cold palace just because they are subordinate ministers, and will be treated the same as the ministers of the original Zhou Dynasty.

When the ministers heard this, they were also relieved. They were afraid that Li Yuan would still have a stubborn temper and would not surrender, so they dragged them together to accompany the Tang Dynasty to the funeral. If that were the case, they would have had to flee secretly. But now it seems that Li Yuan still understands the general situation, and knows that stubborn resistance can only bring destruction to himself.

Wang Gui hurriedly said at this time: "Your Majesty, although we have decided to surrender, we still have to have a good talk with the Zhou Dynasty." What position can we hold when we are gone? After all, the official system of the Zhou Dynasty is said to have been designed by Yuming himself, which is very different from the original provincial six-ministry system of the Great Sui. ”

What he said is exactly what the military attaché in the DPRK is most concerned about, now the emperor has decided to surrender, and he also has the identity of the new lord of the Great Zhou Emperor Yuming, even if he can't hold any power in the court after surrendering, there is no problem in being a prince of the country and enjoying all the glory and wealth. But he and the others have not yet been settled, so it is impossible to go home to farm, right?

As a result, some of the ministers proposed: On the premise of determining the surrender, we should still communicate with Yuming, if we can't hold official positions, can we also make some compensation in terms of fields and houses.

Li Jiancheng also proposed at this time that everyone should be ministers in the same hall in the Zhou Dynasty in the future, and they should assist each other and join forces to win the clouds. He wanted to take the opportunity to establish his own team and lay the foundation for a foothold in the court of the Zhou Dynasty in the future.

And just when everyone was discussing hotly, Gao Shilian said that he had something at home and asked to go back to deal with it first.

Originally, in the early dynasty, the minister should not have retreated first, and he could not leave until the emperor said that he had withdrawn from the dynasty. But now Li Yuan is no longer the emperor soon. Naturally, he would not be embarrassed by Gao Shilian in this trivial matter, so he waved his hand and said: "Gao Qing's family is busy, go back first!" But go and get back quickly! Otherwise, it won't be good to miss your place! ”

Gao Shilian nodded in a panic, and then left the palace, and then found a bag shop in Zhuque Street, and whispered to his boss: "Quickly inform King Qin that the emperor has decided to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty and intends to establish King Yan as the world, and is now discussing the resettlement plan for Tang Dynasty officials after the surrender." ”

"What? How could there be such a thing? The boss was also taken aback.

He immediately took out a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a letter, and then handed it to his shopkeeper and said, "Give it to the King of Qin on the front line of Tongguan as soon as possible." Ask him to decide! ”

Tongguan is only more than two miles away from Chang'an, and fast horses can run to it in one day and one night. Li Shimin had long laid out a plan to seize power from Li Tang, so how could he pay attention to the changes in Chang'an from time to time?

Moreover, the army that he returned to Chang'an to seize power had already been prepared, just waiting for the best time, and now that he knew that Li Yuan had planned to surrender, from the Tang Emperor to the Tang King, he also let his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, who was in the same situation, be the Tang Dynasty and inherit the title in the future. Then Li Shimin has no reason not to start it immediately.

"Gather the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers and the pro-army, and we will kill back to Chang'an immediately!" Li Shimin immediately summoned Liu Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Zhang Baode and others to announce the start of the operation.

The Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers and Li Shimin's pro-army are the most loyal troops to him, and their personal loyalty to Li Shimin is still above Li Yuan.

Although the force that returned to Chang'an to seize power was only 50,000 troops, it was strong in combat. Don't say that Chang'an's city defense is now useless, even if there are the same number of troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to defend it.

Early the next morning, the city guards at the east gate of Chang'an found that a large number of troops had come from afar, all with bright armor and neat flags.

They were also shocked when they saw this, thinking that Zhou Jun had already called. But when this army walked to the city, the city guards relieved themselves, and it turned out that it was the Tang army, not the Zhou army.

"Open the gates and let us in!" Cheng Zhijie, who was standing at the front, shouted loudly.

"Which general led the team?" The officer on duty at the head of the city asked.

"I am Cheng Zhijie, the general under the account of King Qin, and I have something urgent to enter the city!" Cheng Zhijie replied loudly.

"General Cheng, aren't you guarding Tongguan? Why did he bring 50,000 soldiers back to the city, didn't he secretly surrender to the Zhou army? The officer on duty wondered. It stands to reason that generals with troops are not allowed to bring troops back as long as the emperor has not been recalled, or the combat mission has not ended, so it is easy to be considered to be a rebellion.

"It's this king who wants to come back, and General Cheng is just with this king!" At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, and then a young military general in black armor rode to the front.

"Ahh It's the King of Qin! ”

"It turned out that King Qin was back!"

The soldiers at the head of the city were relieved.

"Open the gates! This king has an urgent military situation to report to his father, and if you put on an important matter, it is not too much for you to be beheaded ten times! Li Shimin shouted.

The officer on duty at the city gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came down and opened the city gate.

Li Shimin is now a red and purple figure in the Tang Dynasty. He has made many military exploits, and it can be said that half of the territory of Datang was laid by him. Now that his eldest brother Li Jiancheng has been deposed, it is rumored in the army that Li Shimin may replace his brother as the new one like Yang Guang of the former Sui.

Therefore, the officers on duty did not dare to offend the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After all, they didn't know that Li Yuan was already planning to surrender, and Datang was about to cease to exist.

The city gate "creaked" open, and Li Shimin led a large group of men and horses into the city, but the first thing he did was to order his own soldiers to disarm the officers and soldiers on duty at the city gate. It scared them a lot.

"Look out for them! Zhijie, you go to seize the other city gates, and at the same time control the city guard command post, and take over the city defense of Chang'an! Don't let Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji escape! Li Shimin said loudly.

"Subordinates obey!" Cheng Zhijie responded, and then hurriedly led the army.

At this time, Li Shimin said to Liu Jing and Zhang Baode: "Liu Junshi, General Zhang, let's go to the palace first!" If nothing else, now should be the time of the Early Dynasty, we can just ambush at the gate of the palace and intercept Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji of the Early Dynasty! ”

"It's not interception, it's interception!" Liu Jing hurriedly reminded Li Shimin: "If Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are alive, they will always be a huge threat to your status. ”

Li Shimin hesitated, but finally nodded. Things have come to this point, and we really can't be merciful.

So he ordered: "Let's go to the Xuanwu Gate, where the chief of the executive guard Chang He is my man." If this king is not mistaken, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji generally walked from Xuanwu Gate when they went to court. Once you find them, kill the king immediately! ”

After giving the order, he rode to the front and led a large group of pro-troops straight to the palace......
