Chang'an Wude Palace

Under the flickering candlelight, Li Yi's eyes were a little misty; There are always people tiptoeing in and out, and this kind of rustling sound is the most disturbing, like your own bed full of sneaky mice. He turned his head irritably, looked at the women kneeling in front of the couch, and found that they were all full of sorrow, and there were bursts of low sobs in his ears, which made Li Yi a little annoyed! This is his home, and he has ended his years of wandering, lying peacefully on his couch, what should these ignorant women be sad about?

Li Yi, ancestral home of Chengji, Longxi; He has a prominent family background second to none in the world, and is the fifth son of the Tang Emperor Li Yi.

His father was an avid music lover and devoted his life to choreographing and performing large-scale music and dance. Because he is obsessed with artistic creation, he naturally has no time to get close to this inconspicuous little son.

When Li Yi was young, he was entrusted to a eunuch who was originally responsible for cleaning the stables, and this eunuch named Tian Lingzi took care of his daily life.

Accompanied by day and night, the two naturally have a very strong relationship. Ignorant children don't understand what a eunuch is, so they feel that the burly Tian Lingzi is very powerful, and all kinds of amusement things are very familiar, which makes Xiao Li Yi very respectful in his heart, and even naively fantasizes that it would be great if this "omnipotent" eunuch was his father! So he ignored the surprised eyes of others, and just called this eunuch Tian affectionately ~ "Father".

Later, the emperor's father, Li Yi, devoted himself to the cause of cultural inheritance and innovation, and finally became ill after presiding over the arrangement of the masterpiece of "Welcoming the Buddha's Bones". The temple name is "Yizong".

The twelve-year-old ignorant boy, with the help of Tian Lingzi and other powerful eunuchs, stood out among the princes and succeeded to the unification, and inexplicably, he became the nineteenth son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty.

After the young Li Yu ascended the throne, the first decree was to appoint "Ah Fu" as a privy envoy and lieutenant of the Shence Army, that is, the commander of the forbidden army. All matters in the court, no matter how big or small, are handed over to him to deal with.

Tian Lingzi, who came from a humble background, because he bet on the right treasure, was in power for a while! He himself is very keen to make up for his physical shortcomings with this satisfaction of being in power!

It has been proved countless times in history that when the eunuchs are in power, the fortunes of the country will naturally wither! As a result, Li Yi's sad imperial career also began.

The government has been handed over to the "father", what is Li Yi busy with? What else can a half-grown child do? Naturally, it's all about having fun!

In fact, Li Yi is a dynamic and mild-mannered person, with great athletic talent and a spirit of entertainment. Without the troubles of courtly affairs, he was able to devote himself to the study of various amusement projects, and soon became the best among them!

Li Yi likes cockfighting, goose betting, archery, sword and lance, legal arithmetic, music, Go, gambling...... Almost all the amusement camps, he is all good! In particular, he is very fascinated by horseback riding and bowing, and his skills are outstanding.

He once said to Youlingshi Boar very conceitedly: "If I participate in the Juju Jinshi Science Examination, I should be the top student in high school!" ”

Youling, whose name and eloquence were also extremely sharp, replied unabashedly: "If Your Majesty encounters a virtuous monarch like Yao Shun to be the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites, I am afraid that you will be blamed and lost!" ”

When Li Yi heard such a disrespectful evaluation, he was not even angry, he just laughed it off! Because deep down in his heart, he never thought of being a generation of virtuous monarchs.

Li Yi always believed that if it weren't for the damned anti-thief king Xianzhi and the smuggler Huang Chao, who couldn't get into the imperial examination, he would probably live a happy life like many benevolent and mediocre emperors in history. As for troublesome things such as expanding the territory and revitalizing the society, it is good to leave them all to the princes and grandchildren who have pursuits!

It's a pity, I wonder if the "seven-year itch" also applies to the emperor's profession!

Seven years after Li Yi ascended the throne, the world was either drought or flood, and there were countless victims! The court controlled by Tian Lingzi turned a blind eye to the people's suffering. The feudal towns were also reluctant to give food relief, but simply drove away the victims.

If you catch me, I'll catch up! So "the people are in exile, and there is nowhere to complain!" "There are countless displaced people under the rule of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the people who can't eat can only rise up and become thieves!

Finally one day, Huang Chao, a smuggler of salt, recited a complaining poem written when he failed in the scientific expedition, and led hundreds of thousands of righteous soldiers to the city of Chang'an!

Stay until autumn comes on September 8,

After my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers are killed.

The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an,

The city is full of golden armor.

The majestic Shence army, who usually served as the emperor's honor guard, now came to a crush in the face of a rabble with sticks and farm tools! Seeing that the imperial capital was about to fall, at a critical time, Li Yi could only follow the example of his ancestor Emperor Xuanzong and enter Shu to "travel luck" to avoid the disaster of war.

And when appointing the chief official of the refuge area, Li Yi, the champion of the bow, did not forget the spirit of amusement.

When the soldiers approached the city, His Majesty the Emperor organized a unique bowing competition in front of the Qingsi Hall of Daming Palace. Although there were only four contestants, the winners' jackpots were quite tempting! They are the festivals of the three feudal towns of Xichuan, Dongchuan, and Shannan Xidao; The reward for the first place in the championship is naturally the richest of them, the Nishikawa Festival Envoy.

This is the jaw-dropping "batting bet on Mikawa!" ”

In the final result, Chen Jingxuan, who has outstanding ball skills, lived up to expectations and won the first place in this epic battle!

This competition, whether in terms of organization and planning, excitement, or the full dedication of the contestants, is almost perfect in almost all aspects! The only slight flaw is that it is always questioned by future generations that there is a shady existence. Because Chen Jingxuan, who won the crown, happens to be the half-brother of Quan Eun Tian Lingzi, which can't help but make people think about it!

As soon as the bow competition ended, Li Yi, who was the emperor, abandoned the capital and fled. followed the "father" Tian Lingzi, and ran away with only five hundred guards around him. I walked so fast that I didn't even have time to bring my beloved fighting! ran all the way to Chengdu Mansion before he could stop, and he avoided it in Shu for four years.

Fortunately! The Tang Dynasty, which has accumulated in the past three hundred years, still has a cadre of loyal ministers and good generals. Hezhong Jiedu envoy Wang Chongrong and others, in accordance with the emperor's order to send troops to fight thieves, born in the Shatuo tribe of Hedong Jiedu envoy Li Keyong, also led troops to help the imperial court, especially the emperor on the way to escape, casually appointed "the capital of the capital on all sides of the camp" Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Zheng Zheng, got the power of "cheap engagement", is even more ambitious, and actively organized troops to besiege the Huangchao that occupies Chang'an.

Seeing that the situation was gradually improving, Li Yi also hurriedly threw down the polo stick, and urgently ordered the prime minister Wang Duo to be the commander of all the roads and camps, to unify the command of the counteroffensive against the Huangchao army. Seeing that the situation had changed, the forces of the feudal towns at both ends of the first rat also began to take the initiative to show favor to the emperor, and the balance of victory finally gradually tilted in favor of the imperial court.

Especially after receiving Wang Chongrong's report and learning that Zhu Wen, a first-class fierce general under Huang Chao, was willing to surrender to the imperial court with the land of Tongzhou, Li Yi was even more overjoyed, and shouted several times, "This is a good general!" God bless Datang! He also gave him the name of "total loyalty" as a reward. As everyone knows, just over ten years later, it was Zhu Laosan, who gave the name of "Quanzhong", who personally hammered the last coffin nail of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Under the siege of various official troops, Huangchao was finally forced to withdraw from Chang'an, and the two sides fought for a long time on the land of the Central Plains, and the righteous army was finally defeated! A generation of heroes and heroes Huang Chao was also in the Tiger Wolf Valley in Tai'an, and his nephew Lin Yan had his head cut off.

The world has just decided, although there is still the anti-thief Qin Zongquan entrenched in Caizhou, who is wantonly collecting the remnants of the Yellow Nest and causing chaos everywhere, but Chang'an is safe for the time being. So, Li Yi, who missed his hometown very much, decided to go home.

Ill-fated is Li Yi's endorsement! After the difficult and difficult Shu Road, he finally returned to Chang'an. But the emperor, who had just returned home, was ready to regain his old friendship, and before he even had time to organize a decent cockfight, he encountered new turmoil.

The cause of the incident is probably like this: Tian Lingzi, the "father" who does not let people worry, have a dispute with Wang Chongrong over salt, iron, silver, and river festivals. Eunuch Tian is arrogant, where can he stand this bird anger? Under the banner of the emperor, he gathered a group of local bigwigs near the Beijing Division, and put pressure on Wang Chongrong, who was still a thief hero yesterday, and forced him to hand over the salt and iron taxes in his hand.

If you can't talk about it, you can only fight! Wang Chongrong thought that his strength was weak, and he turned to his old comrade-in-arms when he suppressed bandits, and Li Keyong was used by Hedong Jiedu; This old Li Yuan is a Hu man, his real surname is Zhu Xie, and he is also a warm-hearted person who loves to help, and after receiving the letter asking for help, he didn't say a word, and took his Shatuo soldiers to kill the general.

At the beginning, the "Cupola General" Huang Chao who these two joined forces to fight couldn't find the north, and now it's naturally not a problem to beat an old eunuch. The little minions under Tian Lingzi who were beaten up in a hurry, when they saw that the situation was not good, they could not do more than two fierce people, so they simply turned against each other before the battle, and together they forced Chang'an to eradicate the traitorous eunuchs in the imperial court!

This time, His Majesty the Emperor's Divine Ce Army collapsed again without any surprise! In desperation, Tian Lingzi sacrificed the magic weapon of running away as the best policy, continued the familiar route, and hijacked Li Yi to flee to Fengxiang first and then to Hanzhong.

This time in Chang'an, Li Yi only stayed at home for nine months before he was forced to embark on the road of escape again!

When Huangchao occupied Chang'an, the palace buildings were still well preserved, and this time the soldiers and horses of the road entered Chang'an to seek wealth, burning, killing and looting everything, and the palace was burned by six or seven out of ten, "the palace is depressed, and the bow is lush grass."

After this turmoil, the feudal towns had long hated Tian Lingzi's dictatorship, and the spearhead was unanimously aimed at Tian Lingzi, jumping up and down with the slogan of "Qingjun side".

In the following three years, the huge Chang'an City continued to change the overlord flag. After you sing, I will take the stage, and His Majesty's Wude Hall has also become a campground where you want to come.

When the bigwigs from all sides were annoyed, they also lost interest in the dilapidated Chang'an City, and they could be regarded as giving the emperor face, but they just forced Tian Lingzi to ask for a derogatory reprimand, and after returning to his hometown Xichuan to be a supervisor, he agreed to let Li Yi return to Chang'an.

So, Li Yi once again embarked on the long journey home.

In March of the third year of Guangqi, the emperor's return to Beijing had just arrived in Fengxiang, and Li Changfu, the envoy of Jiedu, forcibly detained the imperial car in the name of waiting for the repair of the Chang'an palace.

In June, the Tianwei army and Li Changfu had a fierce fight, Li Changfu attacked the emperor's palace, and fled to Longzhou after the defeat.

In July, Lee Chang-fu was beheaded......

……

In this way, Fengxiang to Chang'an, a few hundred miles away, Li Yi walked for a year.

In February of the following year, the emperor's chariot finally set foot on the land of Chang'an again, but at this time, the former champion of bowing, after experiencing disasters again and again, has lost his healthy physique, and no longer has the ability to bow on horseback!

Li Yi, who returned to Chang'an, paid homage to the Taimiao, held an amnesty, and changed the yuan to "Wende".

A month later, on March 6 of the first year of Wende, Li Yi, who was only 27 years old, suffered from a "violent illness" and died in the Wude Hall of Chang'an Palace, finally ending his life of exile, and was buried in Jingling in December of the same year, with the temple name "Xizong"!

Emperor Xizong under the Nine Springs would not know how lucky he was. He was actually the last Tang emperor who was fortunate enough to die in the capital and be buried in the Guanzhong Plain.

And the most chaotic, bloodiest, and darkest era in history has just begun!
