Chapter 375: Zhai Rang's Death

、、、、、、、、、、

"Lord Qingtian! King Zhou is really the savior of our surname Beiping! "I don't know when, there have been a lot of surnames outside the lobby who rushed to hear the news, and they are usually bullied by a group of scoundrels such as Mao Xie Kexin. At this moment, he has hulala and knelt on the ground.

"Everyone, please get up, this king is the least used to others kneeling! Don't be so humble anymore." Yuming Dynasty asked people to clasp their fists one by one.

Although he was called the Great Master of the Blue Sky and was unanimously supported by his surname, he was not happy in his heart.

There was a time before that the relatives of the eldest grandson Wuji's family used their own names to cheat and cheat. And now, even among the clansmen and officials under him, there are such signs. How to solve these problems, we have to think of a proper solution......

But Yang Luoqi seemed to enjoy the scene of worship, smiling and waving to them, looking forward to it, smiling like a flower: "Hello everyone! I am Yang Luoqi, and in the future, if you find that there are officials who are doing evil, abusing their power, or having a fish surname, you can report it to me......"

Her words and charming wind attracted the amazement and cheers of many men and women, this beautiful former princess of the Great Sui, although she is now only wearing a cloth skirt, but she can't hide her natural noble and holy temperament. In addition, she and Yuming beat and punished Xie Kexin and others together, and also made the surnames have a good image of her! I think she is a good princess who eliminates harm for the people!

"It seems that among several ladies, Luo Qi is really the most suitable for politics, she is very good at winning over the hearts of the surname, as long as she can completely surrender her heart, she will be my virtuous helper in the future!" Yu Ming looked at Yang Luoqi's beautiful shadow and thought secretly in his heart.

The rest is easy. After Yu Xuan and Xie Ke entered the cell of the Supervision Yuan, they saw the torture instruments in the prison again, and they were all frightened.

It turned out that Xie Kexin's sister married Yu Xuan seven years ago, but because the Xie family lived in Beiping and the Yu family lived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, there were fewer contacts. And Xie Kexin has been idle since he was a child, not doing his job, bullying men and women in Beiping, and doing all kinds of evil.

Previously, because Luo Yi was in charge of Beiping, and the relationship between the Luo family and the Yu family was just average, he had to restrain a little. After Yu Ming conquered Beiping and rescued a group of Yu brothers from Liaocheng, Xie Kexin reconnected with his brother-in-law Yu Xuan.

When he learned that Yu Xuan had been appointed as one of the famous judges of the Beiping Mansion, he immediately became arrogant. In his opinion, he is Yu Xuan's brother-in-law, and Yu Xuan is the party brother of King Zhou, so he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, who would dare to provoke himself?

When Yuxuan first arrived in Beiping, there was a lack of manpower around him. If he wants to go to the next level in the Great Zhou court, he also needs the support of a trusted local head snake. And Xie Kexin is his brother-in-law, and with this kind of kinship, naturally the two quickly colluded.

Yu Xuan wasn't completely ignorant of the bad things that Xie Ke had done. But in his opinion, how many family members are this virtue, and it is not a big deal. And although Yu Ming had a bad relationship with him before, everyone was Yu's younger brother. Yuming will sit in the world in the future, and it will be impossible not to use the people of his own family, but to use the truth of outsiders. Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Sheik's new bad things.

Later, because Xie Kexin often honored him with some money and goods, Yuxuan was even more willing to serve as Xie Kexin's protective umbrella in the court.

Because of his special status as Yu's brother, many of the surnames involved dare not delve into it, after all, Yu's is now the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if the royal brother makes a mistake, at most he will be scolded, but in the future, the people will suffer from his revenge, but the loss will be greater.

And Xie Kexin is not completely brainless, he will not provoke the family members of all officials and generals in the DPRK and China. Therefore, even if some officials know the inside story, they hang high because it is not their business. I don't want to offend Yuxuan because of this.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Yang Luoqi immediately reported to Yuming, and after his approval, Xie Kexin was beheaded and all property was confiscated. Yu Xuan was relieved of his post as a general judge in Beiping Prefecture and sent him to Jijun as an ordinary county magistrate.

After dealing with these things, Yu Ming, who returned to the palace, saw that the red sleeves were already waiting in front of his study, still holding a large stack of pieces in his hands, and his pretty eyes showed eagerness.

"Sister Red Sleeves, is there something urgent?" Yu Ming asked with some surprise. He knew that under normal circumstances, Red Sleeves would not be guarding the door of his study like he was now.

After hearing Yu Ming's words, Red Sleeves sighed lightly, and then said: "There was a civil strife in the Wagang Army, and Li Mi killed Zhai Rang!" ”

"What? Li Mi made such an unwise move so quickly? After Yu Ming heard this, his pupils also shrank. Historically, after Li Mi seized the power of the Wagang Army, in order to consolidate his rule, he killed Zhai Rang, the old leader of the Wagang Army.

Although Yu Ming couldn't remember the time, he also knew that the contradiction between Zhai Rang and Li Mi was gradually getting hot. He already had a plan in his heart, and he was ready to send someone to provoke the relationship between Zhai Rang and Li Mi again, so that the two of them would go to war. Then he sent troops to collect the lands of Huaibei and Henan to prepare for the attack on Luoyang. But he never expected that Li Mi's hands and feet were faster than him, and he would kill Zhai Rang right now.

Although after Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, there would be chaos within the Wagang Army, but with Li Mi's talent, he only needed a few months to stabilize the interior. After the reintegration, the Wagang Army will become a strong force in the Central Plains, and it is not so easy to eliminate.

"It's really better to be a human being than a god!" Yu Ming sighed in his heart.

"Husband, do you want to hear about Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang?" Redsleeves asked with a wink of big beautiful eyes.

"Hmmm! Sister Red Sleeves, just say it, listen to your husband! "Yu Ming is colorful. He also wanted to understand the process, so that when he fought with Li Mi in the future, he could win over a group of generals who were not so loyal to him. He also knew that the Wagang Army was born recklessly, and its generals always attached importance to righteousness. Li Mi killed the original big leader Zhai Rang, which will definitely chill the generals who were loyal to Zhai Rang. And this gives me a certain opportunity.

"The contradiction between Li Mi and Zhai Rang has to start from the twelfth year of the great cause, Li Mi defected to the Wagang Army......" Red Sleeves began to tell at this time.

Originally, in the eighth year of the Great Cause (612 AD), Zhai Rang launched a peasant uprising in Dongjun (now east of Huaxian County, Henan), and was called Wagang Army because of the Weicheng Wagangzhai (south of Huaxian County) as the base.

Li Mi in the ninth year of the Great Cause (613 AD) Yang Xuangan army failed shortly after the defeat, he defected to Zhai Rang's army, some people knew that Li Mi was Yang Xuangan's fugitive general, privately instigated Zhai Rang to kill him, Zhai Rang listened to the slander, so Li Mi was imprisoned outside the barracks.

Li Mi said to Zhai Rang through his henchman Wang Bodang with the method of Jin Xian's strategy: "Now that the emperor is mediocre, his surname is resentful, and the expedition to Goryeo has exhausted the elite troops, and he is at odds with the Turks, Yang Guang is now inspecting Yangzhou, the capital of Jiang, and flawlessly taking care of the Central Plains, this is the time to compete for the world." With your eloquence and strategy, you should gather a small group of rebels and strengthen your strength. At that time, it will be more than enough to destroy the Sui Dynasty. ”

Zhai Rang was greatly respected and admired when he heard this, and immediately released Li Mi. and sent him to lobby the small groups of rebels. And Li Mi's eloquence is also really good, saying that he has surrendered many rebels, and soon strengthened the power of the Wagang army.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mi suggested to Zhai Rang: "Now that our army has a lot of soldiers and horses, but there is a shortage of food and grass, if this situation cannot be improved, and there is no need for the Sui army to attack, our army will naturally collapse!" It is better to directly seize Liyang, Luokou, Xingyang and other places, and you can get a large amount of grain and grass. When our army is strong and strong, the world will be able to get it at your fingertips. ”

Zhai Rang completely adopted his advice, and conquered Jindiguan, Xingyang, Liyang and other county seats, greatly improved the surrounding situation of the Wagang army, and had a solid base area.

In the spring of the tenth year of the Great Cause (617 AD), Li Mi led the army to capture Xingluocang, and opened the warehouse to release grain, which earned him great prestige, and there was an endless stream of people who participated in the Wagang army, as many as hundreds of thousands of people.

Since Yang Guang had already gone south to Jiangdu at this time, Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in Luoyang, sent Liu Changgong, the general of Hu Benlang, to lead 25,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Li Mi. But he was not Li Mi's opponent, he was defeated again and again, and Liu Changgong was only spared.

Zhai Rang then elected Li Mi as the leader and called him Duke Wei. In February of this year, an altar was set up in the southern suburbs of Gongxian County, and the day was enthroned, and the year was called the first year of Yongping, and the book issued was the Marshal Wei Gongfu. Wang Bodang was appointed as the left long history, Bing Yuanzhen as the right long history, Yang Defang as the left Sima, and Zheng Detao as the right Sima. Zhai Rang was awarded the rank of Situ and was named the Duke of Dongjun. Shan Xiongxin was appointed as the general of the Left Wuhou, Xu Shiji was appointed as the general of the Right Wuhou, Zu Junyan was appointed as the secretary, and the rest of the people were awarded official positions according to their ranks. So he took Luokou as his capital and stationed in an area of forty miles around Luokou.

Seeing that the situation is good and the future is immeasurable, and the leader of the Wagang army is likely to become the emperor in the near future, some of Zhai Rang's relatives, friends and subordinates began to be a little unwilling.

His subordinate Wang Ruxin persuaded Zhai to make himself the head of the official (equivalent to the prime minister), manage all affairs, and take back the power that had been ceded to Li Mi.

Although Zhai Rang is not much, he is an open-minded person, he knows that his talent is not as good as Li Mi, and he didn't listen to Wang Ruxin's bad ideas at all.

But Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong is a big boss, and his brain is a little bad, so he also ran over to make trouble at this time, and he said to Zhai Rang: "Brother, you have to be your own, how can you let it be given to others!" If you're inappropriate, I'll be the one! ”

Zhai Rang just laughed after hearing this, and didn't take it seriously, but Li Mi was very annoyed when he heard about it, and he killed him.
