"Order the Flying Eagle Brigade and the Dragon Group to start immediately, and anyone who is with Zhu Quanzhong will be killed." The words on the altar of Emperor Zhaozong shocked everyone, and those courtiers who were unwilling to attach themselves to Zhu Quanzhong even cried loudly, and a few people broke through many obstacles and rushed to the altar to follow the emperor to martyrdom, and more people stared at Zhu Quanzhong with red eyes. This scene made Hu Xiaosi's heart shake on the sidelines, the emperor of a dynasty can abide by his instincts in front of his ancestors and ancestors, and maintain the last dignity of the Tang Dynasty at the cost of his life, how can Hu Xiaosi not be excited?

"Go, use the heads of these traitors to tell the people that Datang will not perish, and the blood of Datang will be passed on from generation to generation and will never be extinguished." Hu Xiaosi's eyes were also red, his hands were clenched into fists, and his steel teeth were gnashing.

At this time, Zhu Quanzhong saw that the situation was irreparable, so he simply did not stop killing directly, took down all the ministers who were unwilling to submit to him, and killed them in front of the people of Luoyang City, so as to deter these people who were resurrected because of Zhaozong's martyrdom. It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as his side unfolded, someone over there took a step ahead of him, almost taking revenge and swept away the courtiers who were attached to him and the courtiers he brought from Bianzhou. The slaughter of the rivalry not only did not make the onlookers retreat, but instead stimulated the long-lost blood and belligerence of the people of the Tang Dynasty, these ordinary people directly fought with the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army who came to block the road near the altar of heaven, and the brutal fight began, Zhu Quanzhong's order was no longer useful at the moment, and Hu Xiaosi saw this and began to fly pigeons to pass the book to Wan Yi in the rear, asking him to send light horses to quickly cross Shaanzhou into Luoyang, and lead the people of Luoyang to Guanzhong, and at the same time change the order, Let the Flying Eagle Brigade immediately shoot and kill the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army to cover the people leaving Luoyang. This national hatred made the people's war blood continue to burn, and the combat power that burst out was simply the retreat of these Xuanwu armies that were once fought.

At this time, Zhu Quanzhong has also recovered, directly enthroned the emperor at the altar of heaven, completed all the procedures originally arranged after the Zen Rang ceremony, and officially became the first emperor of Daliang, changed the second year of Dashun to the first year of Daliang Kaiping, canonized civil and military, set the capital of Bianzhou, and changed Luoyang to the western capital.

Immediately after ascending the throne, he ordered the suppression of the Luoyang rebellion, and killed more than 40,000 people in Luoyang who participated in the rebellion and did not follow the large army out of the pass.

And the news that Zhu Quanzhong forced Emperor Zhaozong to kill usurping the throne and rebelling also spread all over the world, and the envoys from all over the country objected, clamoring for the joint army to exterminate Zhu Quanzhong and avenge Emperor Zhaozong, and Ma Yin, Sun Ru and others who were contacted by Zheng Fan in the early stage broke away from contact with Zhu Quanzhong, and sent troops to garrison the border towns, making preparations to send troops at any time.

Zhu Quanzhong's farce disrupted all the plans made by Zheng Fan before, and the follow-up plan could not be connected at all.

I have to say that Xie Tong's vision and wisdom are extraordinary, and he quickly grasped the key point, taking the Empress He in Zhu Quanzhong's hands as an opportunity to let Zhu Quanzhong arrange for someone to build the Zhaodi Palace in Luoyang, and announce it to the world in the name of Empress He, re-explain the cause of Emperor Zhaozong's death, and put the edict written by Emperor Zhaozong in the Zhaodi Palace, which is open to the public for everyone to consult.

The rebellion in Luoyang was all pushed to the Tiance army, and all the records of Zheng Fan's confrontation with Xuanyingwei in the early stage were made public, indicating that the people were bewitched by the Tiance army and the Xuanwu army had a firefight, Luoyang City was attacked by the soldiers of the Tiance army, and all the people who were killed by themselves were the rebellious elements of the Tiance army, and after the Xuanwu army suppressed the rebellion, the Tiance army coerced most of the people of Luoyang to go west.

I have to say that such an explanation was really explained by him, with the appearance of Empress He, a large number of princes and towns who did not get first-hand information gradually let go of their suspicions, and those who were close also secretly sent people into Luoyang to check the holy decree in Emperor Zhao's palace.

In this way, Zhu Quanzhong can be regarded as avoiding the focus of public opinion, and his title of emperor has also become Emperor Zhaozong's deathbed order, and Daliang inherited the Tang Dynasty, which is reasonable and reasonable. For a while, Zhu Quanzhong looked at Empress He differently again, this woman has been able to help him turn the situation around, isn't there someone after the Zhang family who deserves the back house of his old Zhu family? Thinking of this, Zhu Quanzhong issued an appointment again, and directly made Queen He his own queen, which is really worthy of the name.

However, Xie Tong and Zheng Fan remained silent at the same time, Zhu Quanzhong has a wife who is good for the current situation, as long as the heirs of his Zhu family do not have internal strife, then the overall situation outside can be withstood in the short term under the joint efforts of the two. And Queen He herself is virtuous and virtuous, and she does have Queen Fengyi. Besides, with Queen He, Zhu Quanzhong will not always make the mistake of being angry and resentful, and he can count it in one fell swoop.

Zhu Quanzhong's series of actions on his side successfully cleared himself of the charge, at least temporarily, in the base camp of the Tiance Army in Chang'an, Hu Xiaosi also came back to pay the order, but there was not much joy on his face, and he briefly reported the arrangement of his trip to Luoyang and sighed: "His Majesty the Emperor's actions were beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone did not expect that he would be martyred and forced Zhu Quanzhong into a corner." ”

"It seems that the blood flowing in his body has not been insulted by him, and this kind of emperor can be regarded as making me respect. Lord, why don't you set up an altar in the name of Tiance Mansion to commemorate the emperor, and by the way, issue a document to beg for thieves, and announce to the world, how about letting Zhu Quanzhong pay for his blood debts in the name of the royal family? Cen Tianshi also sighed.

"Just as the gentleman said. However, it is not a document to ask for thieves, but an edict on the unification of the Tang Dynasty, issued as the general of Tiance Xiping, the Tang Dynasty has been in civil strife for a hundred years, wasting the vitality of China in vain, and the people are like dogs, heaven and earth should not, and the Tiance army has raised troops in the northwest to recover the border and restore the new order of the Tang Frontier. Unexpectedly, the Eastern Capital Incident, the traitorous ministers rebelled with the party and bullied the king, forced the emperor to death, and caused trouble to the people. This is to deceive me, there is no one in the Tang Dynasty, and the court is useless. Our Tiance Army inherited Taizong's creed of unifying the world, and with the wish of all the people in the world, he poured the northwest army into the customs to reorganize the rivers and mountains, cut off the rebellious party, quell the rebellion, and return the people of the world to a peaceful world. ”

Li Xuanqing's scorching words made everyone present dizzy, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, what this group of people in Tiance Mansion has to do is to quickly recover the mountains and rivers, and then wave the army to the Western Regions to recover the old land of the Tang Dynasty. Although the killing of the emperor at this time is a great pity for the country, it is a time for Tiance Mansion to take shackles and soar to the sky. Cen Tianshi immediately knelt on the ground, his voice clear and powerful, "Please rest assured, the ministers will swear to complete the trust of the lord, and do their best for the unification of the Tang Dynasty and the rebirth of the fire." ”

"Then don't wait, the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately organized people to set up a mourning platform in the west campus of Chang'an City to summon the emperor's spirit, so that all walks of life in Chang'an can elect representatives to participate in the memorial, and other people are willing to accompany the sacrifice. The General Staff immediately ordered the garrisons in various places to prepare for the edict, and the day the edict was issued, it was the time when the Tiance Army was at its prime. Li Xuanqing helped Cen Tianshi up and said solemnly.

"Lord, the country can't be without a king for a day, now that the emperor is martyred, the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty cannot be usurped by Zhu Quanzhong, and the lord is also invited to consider it, and ascend the throne immediately after the memorial service to continue the Tang Dynasty." Cen Tianshi glanced at the people around him and spoke. Cen Tianshi's words represented the voice of the high-level civil and military officials of Tiance Mansion at this time, so as soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately spoke in unison.

"I see what you mean, but now that the war is imminent, isn't it too early to think about these things?" Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said, "At least we can't be like Zhu Quanzhong, seeking the throne and forgetting our original intentions." ”

"Lord, have you read the jade seal and the edict I sent back in Luoyang? It was written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and there were no external factors. I think what Cen Tianshi said is appropriate, and the ascension to the throne at this time will inevitably inspire the front-line soldiers to fight bravely and speed up the pace of war. Hu Xiaosi immediately said: "The people of Luoyang, who came thousands of miles from Luoyang, are also thinking about coming to Chang'an to seek refuge from the lord." ”

"Let me think about it again. Go down. Li Xuanqing smiled bitterly and thought silently after sending the group away.

Li Xuanqing didn't have much concept of being called the emperor, and he was very disgusted with the imperial system under the influence of the knowledge of later generations, but now the situation forces him to really enter Luoyang and Bianzhou, how should he deal with it? Sooner or later, there will be problems with the rule of man.

"Big brother, why don't you go to rest so late? What are you thinking? Qiaoxi came over with a big belly and comforted him.

"Qiaoxi, do you think we want to be emperor?" Li Xuanqing asked while gently slapping Qiaoxi's shoulder.

Qiaoxi knew that he was still struggling with this problem, and said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother talking about the disadvantages of the imperial system?" But big brother, don't forget, what era are we in now? Even if you and I try to improve the level of industry, it is still a veritable feudal era, and it is also the most dynamic era of this system, that is to say, feudalism is the most advanced superstructure in terms of the current productive forces. Isn't the reason why many capitalist revolutions in history have been repeated because of insufficient strength and incomplete development of the capitalist economy? Moreover, the imperial system is not as bad as the big brother imagined, and the separation of powers can be carried out under the imperial power, so that our economic development can be protected from restrictions. If they can really be subverted in the future, it means that our productivity has improved. Qiaoxi's soft voice seemed to be explaining Li Xuanqing's confusion, and it seemed to be telling history, but as he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said: "Big brother, if this is really the case, we can save a good family business, otherwise future generations will really have to be poor and ask for food in the future." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, and his mind was also automatically making up these plots, and at this time, a clever voice came from his ears again, "Big brother, you can make a constitutional monarchy, at least you can lead it to this side in the current institutional erection, and when the rules of the game are really formed, it will naturally become a convention." ”

"Okay, it's late at night, hurry up and rest, let Ziyan and them accompany you back, I'll think about it again." Li Xuanqing patted Qiaoxi, called the palace maid outside the door to help Qiaoxi and walked out, leaving him alone in Changqing Palace to ponder and be silent.

Here, when Li Xuanqing was sleepless all night thinking about the political system that should be implemented in the future, there was a sound of fighting as scheduled from the vast Central Plains, and the first thing that started was the front line of customs clearance close at hand from Chang'an. The Modao battalion led by Wan Yi and 50,000 people, including Qian Laoliu, went out of Tongguan and arrived at the border of Shaanzhou along the south bank of the Yellow River, blocking Niu Cunjie and Zhu Zhen's soldiers and horses at the border of Shaanzhou. Originally, Niu Cunjie still wanted to rely on the secret weapon he had been assigned to fight with the Tiance Army, but when Zhu Zhen saw Shi Jian's 30,000 soldiers of the Modao Battalion, who were strong and persistent, he simply pulled Niu Cunjie back to Shaanzhou City and closed it up. Just kidding, holding the light infantry in his hands and resisting the opponent's heavy armor soldiers, he is not as tough as Niu Cunjie, no, this is not hardness, this is looking for death.

Wan Yi didn't expect that he would scare the other party back to the pass as soon as he opened the formation, and immediately regretted it, called Shi Jian over, and after scolding him, he began to seriously think about how to open the first battle of the pass.

On March 15, 891 A.D., Tiance Mansion held a ceremony to commemorate Emperor Zhaozong in Chang'an City, headed by Li Xuanqing, the king of Xiping and the general of Tiance, and nearly 1,000 representatives of all walks of life in Tiance Mansion accompanied the sacrifice, at the memorial ceremony, Li Xuanqing denounced Zhu Quanzhong's crime of killing the monarch and seizing the throne, highly praised the courage and perseverance of Emperor Zhaozong in the face of the traitor, and summarized it as the indomitable blood of the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that the respect of the Son of Heaven can be martyred for the country, and inspire future generations to serve the country and the people, and not forget life and death.

And Li Xuanqing, on behalf of the Tiance Mansion, is telling the world that such a disloyal and unfilial person should be punished and discussed together. The Tiance army has attacked on all fronts, and will sweep away Zhu Quanzhong with a thunderous momentum, seek justice for Emperor Zhaozong, and re-establish the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuanqing's words made the tens of thousands of Chang'an people present raise their hands and cheer, and Cen Tianshi immediately asked Li Xuanqing to immediately ascend the throne and claim the emperor on behalf of all levels of Tiance Mansion and representatives from all walks of life attending the memorial ceremony, so as not to disappoint the wishes of all the people and the dying trust of Emperor Zhaozong, and let Han Quanhai, the eunuch who was sent back to Chang'an, read the edict of Emperor Zhaozong. If you can't revive the Tang Dynasty, how can you endure the suffering of the people of the world. Today, crying blood to tell the world, it is rumored that the Tang Emperor is located in Tiance General Li Xuanqing, and he expects Aiqing to be able to eliminate traitors internally, resist strong enemies outside, and bring the people to help them and tide over the difficulties together. ”

"My lord, His Majesty the Emperor sent an edict and a jade seal thousands of miles away, representing the emperor's ardent expectations for the lord of my Tiance Mansion, hoping that the lord will put all the people in the world first, ascend the throne, and lead thousands of people in the world who do not want to be attached to the rebel to fight against the rebels." Cen Tianshi's voice sounded immediately after Han Quanhai, and it also drove everyone present. In the hearts of the people who participated in the memorial, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the edict of the throne and the jade seal of the country are here, which means that Li Xuanqing is already a righteous emperor at this moment, so as soon as Cen Tianshi's words were finished, everyone got up and knelt down, and the mountain shouted Long live, even Han Quanhai, who read out the holy decree, knelt on the ground and looked at Li Xuanqing with a sad face.

"Dear people of the Tang Dynasty, colleagues, please stand up. I took the throne. As soon as Li Xuanqing finished speaking, everyone shouted long live again, and finally waited until everyone calmed down, Li Xuanqing continued: "But not now, Zhu Quanzhong dares to kill the first emperor, that is my Tiance Mansion, my Li Xuanqing's enemy, and also the enemy of thousands of Tang people. If this revenge is not avenged, how can it be worthy of the people who fought with the rebels in Luoyang City? How can you be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's enthusiasm on the altar of heaven? How can we be worthy of our brothers and sisters who are suffering all over the world? Li Xuanqing's words made the big guy quiet for a while, and his clear voice echoed over the school field for a long time, "I promise you, when we exterminate Zhu Quanzhong, avenge the great revenge of Tiance Mansion, and sacrifice the spirit of the emperor in heaven with the head of a traitor, I will ascend the throne again and create a new era of the Tang Dynasty with everyone." ”

Xinhua Media faithfully recorded Li Xuanqing's speech at this time, and when Li Xuanqing ascended the throne a year later, he rushed to issue a special issue of "The New Era of the Tang Dynasty" to all the people for free, known as the "Chang'an Declaration".

After this day, the military and the people of the entire northwest were completely condensed, and the base camp of Chang'an Tiance Mansion completely became the center of the entire Tang Empire.
