The heavy snow has stopped for a long time, the north wind has been lighter, the snow inside and outside the palace has melted almost completely, the only deficiency is that the sky is still gloomy, the Tang Emperor Li Cunmiao is reluctant to go out and walk around, these days stopped the early dynasty, has been staying in the queen Liu's bedroom, day and night ear and sideburns.

In such weather, the dawn seems to come very late, and the living are more obsessed with sleep and do not want to open their eyes early. Empress Liu glanced at Li Cunmiao, who was still sleeping beside her, and got up lightly, her body was exposed in the room, and she could see that her curves were exquisite, and her creamy skin was white and red. The curtains in the wide room are still hanging, the pure gold stove is burning, and the red light emitted makes the room warm like spring, Liu Gu Ying looked forward to himself, his fingers stroked his face and chest, revealing a foxy smile, maybe he also discovered it himself, and now she is in this situation, and she is alive and well as a slut.

The palace maids who came up to dress for her, saw Queen Liu smile like this, they were all stunned, and after a short period of stunned, they all blushed and lowered their heads.

The red robe is added, the phoenix crown is on the head, the powder is applied to the face, the flower is attached to the forehead, and then Shi Ran stands up, Queen Liu's momentum suddenly changed, and she immediately became extremely dignified.

After dressing up, Queen Liu walked out of the boudoir, and immediately a waiter bowed forward and said something to her. Empress Liu nodded, went to the side hall, and soon after she sat down, several people entered the house one after another, bowed to the ground, and respectfully reported something to her. Empress Liu listened to them one by one, occasionally frowned, or showed joy on her face, and replied one by one.

After these things were done, it was already the end of the day, Empress Liu stood up and walked out of the side hall, "Your Majesty should also wake up now, is the Yue'er soup ready?" ”

When she reappeared in front of Li Cunmiao, she was already holding a tray in her hand, and the soup was fragrant. Li Cunmiao smiled at the smiling Empress Liu, dressed and washed under the personal service of the other party, and dined with her.

"The thief Guo Chongtao has already surrendered to the law, and there is no triumphant obstacle to the Shu army, why did Your Majesty delay in ordering Qi'er to return to the court? After all, the army is hard, after all, Qi'er is still young, how can he stay in that remote place for a long time, the concubine is very distressed, isn't Your Majesty worried about Qi'er? Empress Liu looked at Li Cunmiao and looked forward to pity.

Li Cunqiao was intoxicated by the delicious taste of Yue'er soup, and said in an urn voice: "Guo Chongtao was a solicitor before he died, and he was suddenly ambushed, and it is difficult to ensure that the army's heart does not change, and he has to wait for the aftermath before he can return to the court." ”

Where is Empress Liu willing to follow, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and no longer eat, and complained: "Your Majesty"

After being soft and hard bubbled by Empress Liu, Li Cunqiao disarmed and surrendered, "Okay, it's up to you, I will immediately give an order to let the teacher return to the dynasty!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Empress Liu smiled, her eyes flowed, she thought for a while, and said: "The concubine heard that when Guo Chongtao went on the expedition, he took his two sons with him, and now that Guo Chongtao is dead, his two sons are still in the army, I am afraid that there will be no chaos!" ”

Li Cunmiao groaned slightly, and said yes, "That's true." Since Guo Chongtao plotted to rebel, his heirs naturally couldn't let go, not only the two sons who went with him on the expedition would die, but the third son who stayed in Luoyang would also die. I then ordered that the three clans be punished and their property confiscated. ”

Empress Liu was very satisfied, hugged Li Cunmiao's arm for a while, and then picked up the jade bowl and fed Li Cunmiao in person, which made Li Cunmiao laugh and be happy, not at all like a monarch who had just lost his minister.

"Your Majesty, the concubines heard that after King Mu heard that Guo Chongtao was killed, he raised his arms and shouted grievances, and his words were full of complaints." Empress Liu saw that Li Cunmiao was in a happy mood, and added.

Li Cunyi, the envoy of the Great Army, is the fifth brother of Li Cunqiao, who previously married Guo Chongtao's daughter. Liu's life is extravagant, Guo Chongtao has repeatedly admonished Li Cunqiao, so the two are not in harmony, and the grudge has been accumulated for a long time, and now that Guo Chongtao has fallen, Queen Liu will naturally not give up the opportunity to cut off his henchmen.

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Cunmiao was shocked when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, does you distrust the concubine and think that the concubine is talking nonsense?" Liu suddenly wanted to cry, Li Cunqiao saw this and hurriedly said relief, and finally let Liu clean up his emotions, and Liu said that the matter was conclusive.

Li Cunmiao finally became furious, and said: "Guo Chongtao wants to rebel, is King Mu an accomplice?!" With that, he got up and issued an edict.

Ten days later, Li Shaorong, who was holding the edict, led 500 armor soldiers to suddenly appear outside the Mu Wang's Mansion and surrounded the palace. When Li Cunyi went out in a daze, Li Shaorong read out the edict coldly, and then ordered the soldiers to enter the mansion.

After that day, King Mu ceased to exist, and more than 100 people in the palace died unexpectedly.

Within a few days, the eunuchs and servants slandered, slandered Li Jiqi, the envoy of the Protector Army, and slandered him for conspiring with Guo Chongtao. It turned out that the favored eunuchs in the palace were often rejected by Li Jiqi when they asked for money from the envoys of various festivals, so they held a grudge, and when they seized the opportunity, they spoke viciously. Li Cunqiao didn't care about the indiscriminate situation, regardless of Li Jiqi's personal entry into the court to show his intentions, and believed in slander, but still killed Li Jiqi in the post house on the day he entered the court.

When Wang Shi attacked Shu, Li Jiqi ordered his son Zhu Lingde to go out with the army. After Li Cunqiao killed Li Jiqi, he ordered Li Jiqi, who was already on his way to the class, to kill Li Lingde.

The army of Shu had not yet left Shu, only in Wulian, and met the envoy of the herald. Li Jiqi received the imperial order, and immediately ordered Li Shaohong to act in accordance with the edict and kill Li Lingde in front of the army.

After killing Li Lingde, Li Jiqi did not feel that there was anything wrong, and ordered the army to continue to move forward and strive to return to the dynasty as soon as possible. However, what he didn't know was that after killing Li Lingde, he himself would never be able to return to Luoyang.

The royal division of the Hui Dynasty, Li Jiqi was in the front army, and thirty miles away from it was the rear army led by Li Shaochen. Knowing that Li Lingde was killed, Li Shaochen immediately changed color, and said angrily to the generals: "I take the Liang in the south of the Tang Dynasty and Bashu in the west, all of which are decided by Guo Gong, and we and other soldiers fight to get it." If it is said that to go against the reverse and work together with the country to break the beam, Li Gongjiqi is a great hero. Those who are in high positions such as Guo Chongtao and Li Jiqi, and now they are still innocent and exterminated, if we return to the dynasty, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no catastrophe in the future! If the situation is like this, what can be done? ”

Li Shaochen is Kang Yanxiao, in the first year of Tongguang, before the battle on the river, he led a hundred horsemen to join Li Cunqing, and at the same time offered a surprise attack to destroy the Liang strategy, which was finally valued by Guo Chongtao, so he perfected it and persuaded Li Cunqing. Because of this, if you want to say that the surprise attack on Liang was destroyed, Li Shaochen made great contributions. And this time in Shu, as a pioneer general, Li Shaochen attacked the city all the way, invincible, which can be regarded as the first achievement. However, because Guo Chongtao and Li Shaohong are good friends, whenever there is military information, they discuss with Li Shaohong, and they do not value Li Shaochen. When evaluating military merits and agreeing on the envoys of the Liangchuan Festival after the fact, Li Shaochen did not receive the treatment he deserved. Because of this, Li Shaochen has long been dissatisfied.

Li Shaochen's dissatisfaction also stems from his disappointment with the current imperial court. The reason why he left Liang and joined the Tang Dynasty was that he was at odds with Duan Ning, the then commander of the Liang army on the river, and on the other hand, he could not bear the traitorous ministers of the Liang court at that time, and he was expected to die. However, the world is unpredictable, and the Tang court, which was full of vigor at that time, is now the same as the Liang court in the past, all of them are eunuchs in power, traitors are in power, and these generals who are fighting outside are criticized everywhere and it is difficult to gain a foothold.

I thought it was to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, who would have thought that I would get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den, the situation is like this, the world is like this, Li Shaochen is so aggrieved, how sad and angry?

Li Shaochen's voice fell, and someone from the military generals next to him spoke out angrily, "What crime is Gong Li guilty of, to the point of extermination?" It's nothing more than bribes without money, and some eunuchs have been offended! I am waiting for a hard fight outside, on the line of life and death, and has made great contributions to the country, and it is okay if I can't get a reward, do I have to grovel to those eunuchs after I go back? And if we don't follow the example of that dog and flatter in front of the eunuch, today's Li Gong will be the future of us! General, we are determined not to go east again, please take your idea! ”

Li Shaochen looked at the person who spoke, and the other party was a strong man, and his eyes were red at this time. This person was called Jiao Wu, who was previously a subordinate of Li Jiqi, and later surrendered Li Shaochen in the river when the Tang army attacked Liang and became his general.

Jiao Wu's words resonated with the generals, and many people immediately expressed their approval, and for a while, everyone turned their attention to Li Shaochen.

Li Shaochen couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw this, just now he said those words, he didn't have the intention of testing everyone's minds, and now seeing that everyone is so decisive, they don't want to return to the court, even considering that those who follow the crowd are still available to the military, which makes his heartbeat inevitably accelerate.

First for the Liang general, the traitor was in charge, and was forced to vote for the Tang Dynasty, and now he is a Tang general, and he is still a traitor in charge, and it is difficult to use it. Li Shaochen's self-payment is not an ordinary cat and dog, can't he be the master himself? In troubled times, heroes start from recklessness, why do you have to live by relying on people's breath?

Thinking of this, Li Shaochen still did not make a decision easily, and pretended to hesitate: "If I don't return to the court, where should I go?" ”

This is the most important issue, and sure enough, as soon as Li Shaochen's words came out, the generals were suddenly silent.

Just when Li Shaochen was a little disappointed, Jiao Wu sneered and said generously: "On weekdays, you kill enemies on the battlefield, you don't think one is a hundred, but you are a well-known hero, why are you all acting like a woman now?" After speaking, he didn't wait for the generals to react, and bowed to Li Shaochen, "In the battle of destroying Shu, the first merit is in the general, the court does not admit the account, we and other soldiers admit the account, on the merits, the general should be the envoy of the Liangchuan Festival!" Now, please ask the general to take office, and we will lead the horse for the general! ”

All the generals reacted and said: "The general should be the envoy of the Liangchuan Festival, please take office immediately!" ”

Rao is Li Shaochen deliberately controlled his state of mind, and he couldn't help but be surging at this time, and immediately stopped being hypocritical, and said arrogantly: "Okay!" With your intentions, what can't you do about these two Sichuan festivals? ”

Immediately, Li Shaochen led the rear army to return to the west, proclaimed himself the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, and moved to Chengdu.
