Chapter 405: The new emperor courted peace

Li Heng fainted in anger.

But the country is in trouble, and at the moment of crisis, Li Yu, Li Qi and some courtiers can no longer take care of him. On the same day, there was a news in the palace that shook Chang'an: Emperor Li Heng issued an edict of guilt and abdication, to the effect that during his reign, rebellions were frequent, and the national family was in turmoil, and the people were not chatting about life, and as the emperor, it was difficult to escape the blame, and in order to ensure that the Tang Dynasty was eternal and inherited for 10,000 years, the throne was passed to Li Yu, the king of Chu.

Less than two years after Li Heng ascended the throne as emperor, he sadly abdicated as Emperor Taiyuan. Li Yu ascended the throne as emperor on the same day, but did not hold an enthronement ceremony, but only convened the Manchu civil and military ministers to hastily hold a ceremony. [..]

On the night of Li Yu's accession to the throne, he changed his name to Baoying and issued several edicts one after another.

One is to order the feudal towns of the world to send troops to Qinwang to aid Chang'an.

The second is to order the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an and the concubines to defend Chang'an to the death, saying that they will live and die with Chang'an.

The third is to canonize Li Qi, the king of Jianning, as the emperor's younger brother, the king of Ding, and the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Canonized Li Guangbi as the deputy commander of the world's soldiers and horses, and Ge Shuhan as the general manager of the Guanzhong march and the secretary of the military department.

Sun Liang, the former Shangshu Gong of the Ministry of War, resigned as prime minister and served as the governor ♂ of Henan Dadu, and Yang Guozhong remained in office.

In fact, Li Yu didn't want to move Yang Guozhong, but at this time, his move to Yang Guozhong would inevitably cause the court to move 'swing', and he couldn't bear this kind of price.

The fourth is to reprimand the Hui Khan Guli Pei Luo for leading the army into the Tang Dynasty without authorization, which is really a great rebellion, and ordered him to immediately withdraw from Hedong, otherwise the army of the court will be destroyed and the whole country will be destroyed, and the words are not sincere.

The most interesting thing is the last edict. Li Yu openly avoided Zhang Xuan's anti-Tang Dynasty, and issued an edict to canonize Zhang Xuan as the Yongwang, Taishi, Longshuo Metropolitan Governor and Fanyang Metropolitan Governor.

When the new emperor took office, he made a gesture of making great efforts to reform the country, and for a time the soldiers and people of Chang'an seemed to be in good spirits, sweeping away the decline and panic of the past.

Jingzhou, Geshuhan camp.

The new emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and related edicts were issued, Ge Shuhan sent away the little eunuchs who came to the palace to announce the decree, and returned to the big tent with a solemn face.

Ge Shuhan was a little surprised by the movement of the court in Jingyuan City, but how could the emperor change the fate of the Tang Dynasty? Ge Shuhan didn't really have much to lose.

Ge Shuhan looked around at the generals, his eyes flashed and he sighed, "Generals, the emperor ordered us to go straight to Chang'an to protect the emperor, I don't know what you think?" ”

Asna came out and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Shu is handsome, the new emperor suddenly ascended the throne and became the emperor, which made people stunned." However, our army should enter the pass to attack Tongguan, and strive to take Tongguan in order to make Chang'an. If it is a city of Chang'an, it is of little significance. ”

Ge Shuhan looked at Asna and smiled, "Li Guangbi is recruiting troops in Guanzhong, the emperor's intentions, the matter of attacking Tongguan, will be handed over to Li Guangbi, as for our army, go straight to Chang'an Qinwang to escort." ”

Asna frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, please forgive me." ”

"Then Li Guangbi was originally a partial general under Zhang Xuan's subordinates, no matter his qualifications or talent and prestige, he was far inferior to the marshal, but the emperor handed over the power to command the army to Li Guangbi and let the marshal be bound in Chang'an City.

"Li Guangbi is difficult to defeat Zhang Xuan, if you want to compete with Zhang Xuan's army, you still have to come forward. We are not satisfied with such an arrangement by the court! As soon as Asna's words came out, all the generals under Geshuhan's mark began to be dissatisfied with Geshuhan.

Seeing the general's indignant look, a strange smile secretly appeared on the corner of Asna's mouth.

Almost no one knows that Zhang Xuan was kind to Asna's father and son in the past, and Asna is now devoted to Zhang Xuan. This opening also has the meaning of provocation.

Ge Shuhan's expression changed for a moment, and he suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "You have to say more, the court has its own opinions, and we are courtiers, eating the king's fortune, and obeying the edict of the court!" If you talk nonsense again, you will be disrespectful to Your Majesty, and you will be engaged in military law! ”

Ge Shuhan Huo Ran got up and brushed his sleeves away.

In fact, Ge Shuhan sighed secretly in his heart, "No matter who leads the troops and who holds the power, it can't stop Zhang Xuan from changing the dynasty, at this time, what's the point of caring about these." ”

In Ge Shuhan's view, Zhang Xuan's control of soldiers and horses is close to Liwan, and there are 100,000 troops to help in the war, plus taking Henan and Fanyang, gathering and surrendering countless troops, with such a force, pushing the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner, not to mention him and Li Guangbi, even if Wang Zhongsi and other famous generals in the army are resurrected, there is nothing they can do.

The 100,000 army of the Hui Khan Guli Peiluo alone was enough for the court to drink a pot. If Guli Pei Luo led the army to attack Guanzhong, could the 30,000 or 40,000 people under Ge Shuhan be able to stop it?

On the second day, Ge Shuhan, who was originally going to enter Guanzhong to attack Tongguan, diverted to Chang'an and did not mention it.

Yizhou.

Fan Yang Shi Siming is already a frightened bird, although he has tens of thousands of troops, but Fan Yang is already a lonely city, surrounded by Zhang Xuan's army, and the 100,000 troops of the Hui Khan Guli Peiluo army marched into Hedong, and directly blocked the possibility of Shi Siming escaping to Hedong

Handsome.

After Zhang Xuan sat down on the handsome case, he stared at the general Wu Lingxun who was sent by Shi Siming to beg for surrender, and smiled coldly, "Shi Siming has proposed surrender to Ben Shuai twice before, but he has regretted it twice. Such a capricious villain, how can Ben Shuai believe in his sincerity? ”

Wu Lingxun lowered his head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "This time Fan Yang is sincere in surrendering, there is no second heart, please be handsome!" ”

"Shi Siming is trapped in Fan Yang, where the army of this commander goes, Fan Yang will become a fan.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether Shi Siming descends or not. However, out of sympathy for Fan Yang's military and civilians, if Shi Siming can go out of the city to ask for guilt in front of Ben Shuai's account, Ben Shuai can agree to Fan Yang's surrender. Go ahead and tell Shi Siming that Ben Shuai had given him a chance in the past, but he missed it. And this time, Ben Shuai can give him another chance, if he dies and does not repent, he will be killed! ”

Zhang Xuan's voice was cold and low, echoing in the hall for a long time.

Wu Lingxun didn't dare to say more, and trembled and resigned.

Guo Ziyi hurriedly entered, hugged his fists and saluted Zhang Xuan, "Lord, there is news from Chang'an." ”

Guo Ziyi's face was a little strange.

Zhang Xuan looked at Guo Ziyi, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Li Heng issued an edict of guilt and abdication, Chan was ceded to Li Yu, Li Yu was called the emperor, and the year name was changed to Baoying." Guo Ziyi said softly.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, suddenly got up and said in a condensed voice, "What? Li Yu became emperor? ”

Guo Ziyi let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes." Li Yu was proclaimed emperor, and successively issued edicts, ordering the king of Qin, the feudal town of the world, saying that he was working hard to live and die with Chang'an. ”

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "These sons of the emperor are all more courageous and courageous than him. It seems that Li Heng is about to flee to Shuzhong again, and he was "forced" to the palace by Li Yu and Li Qi...... Who is in charge of the army? Lee Kwang-pil or Ge Shuhan? ”

"Li Qi is the commander, Li Guangbi is the deputy marshal, and Ge Shuhan guards Guanzhong and Chang'an." Guo Ziyi replied.

"Li Guangbi is in charge of the army..."Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, "Okay, take Fan Yang first, Chang'an and ignore him!" ”

Seeing that Guo Ziyi wanted to speak and stopped, as if he still had something to say, Zhang Xuanqi said, "Ziyi, do you have something to say?" ”

"The lord, the new emperor canonized the lord as the king of Yong, the prince, the governor of Longshuo and the governor of Fanyang, Yongzhen Fanyang Longshuo, listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement."

Guo Ziyi clenched his fists and said lowly.

Li Yu's edict avoided the established fact that Zhang Xuan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, and if Zhang Xuan accepted the recruitment, he could justifiably become the lord of Longshuo and Fanyang, and become a country of his own, but nominally he still had to belong to the court of the Tang Dynasty.

It not only has the meaning of showing goodwill, but also has the feeling of forbearance, and it also has the taste of peace.

Zhang Xuan was stunned and sat down slowly.

Guo Ziyi stared at Zhang Xuan tightly, trying to observe and perceive something from Zhang Xuan's changing expression. Although Guo Ziyi judged that Zhang Xuan would most likely not follow it, she still had a trace of worry in her heart.

"Fan Yang and Longshuo can't hold it. If we wait for Xun to settle in Fanyang Longshuo, and wait for the emperor to relieve his breath in the future, I am afraid that we will die without a place to be buried. Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "For Zhang, the world is under control, how can he give up halfway?" If Zhang gives up halfway, how can he live up to the love and ardent expectations of the officers and men of the three armed forces? ”

Guo Ziyi was overjoyed and bowed down, "The lord is wise!" ”

The other generals also bowed down, "The lord is wise! ”

For Guo Ziyi and others, since they have already followed Zhang Xuan to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, then they will see Zhang Xuan control the world and usurp the Tang Dynasty as the emperor, and then establish a new dynasty. Only in this way will they be the founding heroes of the country and go down in history. On the other hand, if Zhang Xuan gives up halfway and Xun is in a corner, they may still have glory and wealth, but they will be left behind for thousands of years as a rebel in the future.

"You can't talk about wisdom, but it's not the work of a wise man to give up halfway." Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, and suddenly said loudly, "Ziyi, pass on the words of a certain person, send someone to send a message back to Chang'an, and say the words of the commander: If Tang Emperor Li Yuken abdicates and makes way for Xian, he can be crowned with the title of Tang King in the future, and he will be hereditarily replaced." ”

Zhang Xuan laughed loudly.

The generals also burst into laughter.

Guo Ziyi smiled and arched his hand, "The minister obeys." ”

This seems to be just a joke from Zhang Xuan. But Tian Kexin, who was standing beside Zhang Xuan, knew in her heart that the awe-inspiring man in front of her would not say anything for no reason.

It seems that he is ready to settle the Li Tang royal family in this way...... But wouldn't this be a legacy of trouble? Tian Kexin's heart flashed, and she suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan had a woman who was the princess of the Li Tang royal family.

After the change of dynasty, the royal family of the previous dynasty generally did not end well, which is the fate of history. As for how Zhang Xuan will settle the Li Tang royal family in the future, it is still unknown, because at this time, it is too early to consider this issue.

Tian Kexin stared at Zhang Xuan, but when she saw Zhang Xuan casting a playful smile, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart and lowered her head again.
