Chapter Eighty-Eight: Great Cause and Great Ideal (I)
Some people say that if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy, and this is very suitable for Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi, Li Yi, and Yuan Chongnian.
In general, these people can be called "upright and square moral gentlemen", good at reading, good at talking, idealistic, enthusiastic, full of sense of justice, indignant for some things in the country, anxious, like to flaunt morality, and demand from others;
And the biggest feature is self-centeredness, Lao Tzu is right, Lao Tzu is so talented, you have no vision, you don't agree with Lao Tzu, all are bad people, all are treacherous!
Such people, to put it nicely, are a group of self-righteous nerds, however, there is actually another word that is more suitable for them, and that is heavy secondary two!
In the history of China, there are actually many such people, among which the most brilliant are a group of literati doctors at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty...... And then the country was tossed away.
Originally, such a group of "people who are the culmination of the second disease" will be hit in a slightly more normal society, and after experiencing setbacks, reflection and reflection may be saved; But the good ones don't die, this group of people has now encountered Xiao Quzhi and Li Mi, two insidious and cunning, scheming, despicable and shameless, and ill-intentioned big bad guys.
As a result, their secondary two diseases were infinitely magnified.
Under the continuous concession and connivance of the Tiance Mansion, Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi, Yuan Chongnian and others became more and more self-inflated: See, in the face of our awe-inspiring righteousness, Xiao Quzhi, Li Qi, and Li Xian, the traitorous demons, could only tremble with fear. Don't dare to say a word!
Hum. Heaven and earth have righteousness. Things are good and bad, we occupy the name of righteousness, and Xiao Quai, a traitor, has always sold his reputation and reputation, cherishing his reputation as cherishing his feathers, even if you are strong in heaven, you don't dare to act against the sky?
So, one day in late February of the first year of Zhide, Fang Xuan loudly reprimanded King Yan for controlling the government in the Xuanzheng Palace. Appoint friends, set aside the saint, Xiao Qu is speechless. Li Qi stood up and argued, and was once again speechless by Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi, Li Yi and others, and was reprimanded by Fang Xuan for being unfilial and retreated in embarrassment!
After this incident, Fang Shangshu, Liu Shilang, Li Lang and others were upright, not afraid of the powerful, and bravely fought against the traitorous ministers to live Wang Mangxiao's illness and won a great victory, and the deeds were publicized by a group of Tai students who followed Liu Zhi to Chang'an. Public opinion was in an uproar, and many loyal ministers and righteous people were all excited!
And after that. Fang Cheng and others became more and more courageous, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and finally forced Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi to hand over the forbidden army, Xiao Qubing took the Tiance army and ran back to Luoyang to train the army, Li Qi lost a strong reinforcement in the court, and was afraid of the righteousness of Fang Shangshu, Liu Shilang and others, so he simply closed the door and concentrated at home to accompany the princess who was about to give birth.
Li Heng was greatly encouraged, and attacked again, and at the end of March, he dismissed~ dismissed~ Li Xian as the right minister and let Fang Xuan replace him; Immediately after the first day of the fourth month, an edict was issued to let the crown prince Li Qi leave Chang'an to patrol the frontier.
At this point, Xiao Quai, Li Qi Tiancefu Group was almost completely eliminated from Chang'an City, Li Heng, Fang Xuan, and Liu Zhi Group achieved a complete victory, and many mediocre officials who had not met Huai Cai before, or were dismissed by Li Qi and Li Xian, began to take up their positions.
Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi and others became more and more proud, and every day they were at home as guests, talking loudly, and hyped up that we and other loyal ministers and righteous men should make persistent efforts to completely defeat Xiao Quai, a big traitor, and live Wang Mang. For a while, even some children of the family were eager for Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi and others.
In Anyi Fang, Wei Hui found his brother Wei Ben again and asked his question, Wei Ben just smiled and didn't answer: "Gao'er, what do you think about this?" β
Wei Gao, who was only ten years old (imaginary age), said with a serious face: "Back to my father's words, I think that the death of Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi and others is coming!" β
Wei Ben stroked his beard with a smile, Wei Hui was puzzled and asked, "Twenty-three Lang, tell me quickly, what's going on?" β
Wei Gao said seriously: "Uncle, what do you think, King Yan, the crown prince, Mr. Li Xian, Mr. Changyuan?" They are all heroes who are not born in the world! And who are Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi, and Li Yi? A group of corrupt Confucians like Wang Yan who talk about misleading the country!
King Yan and the crown prince not only have a strong army, invincible and invincible, but also have extraordinary abilities, virtuous and promising, loved by the people, and supported by all families.
King Yan, the reason why the crown prince is retreating step by step now is not because he is intimidated by the righteousness of Fang Xuan and others, but because he did it on purpose, in order to deliberately show weakness, so that all the people who oppose Tiance Mansion jump out, and then catch them all. It is to imitate the story of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, and if he commits many injustices, he will kill himself! β
Wei Ben nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Gao'er is right, King Yan and the crown prince are the ones who want to do great things, and the current Your Majesty, as well as Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi and others, just like what the Tang Post newspaper said, represent a group of conservative and corrupt forces that cannot keep up with the times, and will be eliminated sooner or later."
Now King Yan and the crown prince just want to take this opportunity to clear out all these forces that can't keep up with the times and prepare for the crown prince's accession to the throne. And we have only one thing to do, no matter what King Yan does, we just follow closely.
Don't see it yet? King Yan is an omniscient person, how many magical things his appearance has brought and how much change he has brought to Datang! β
Sure enough, it didn't take long for things to develop exactly as Xiao Wei Gao said. At the beginning of May, under the instigation of Fang Xuan, Liu Zhi and others, and under the guarantee of Yuan Chongnian patting his chest, Emperor Li Heng burst with self-confidence, summoned Li Qi and Xiao Qu to Chang'an to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, wanting to depose Li Qi as the crown prince, and take the opportunity to remove the two.
The result was naturally a failure, so Fang Xuan persuaded Li Heng to simply crusade against Tian Li Qi and Xiao Quai, Li Heng still had doubts, Fang Xuan patted his chest and promised: "Although the Tiance Army is a strong army in the world, An can defeat my Liu Rank!" β
So Li Heng made up his mind to take Fang Xuan as the commander, and Liu Zhi and Li Yi as the staff officers. Yuan Chongnian was a general. Command the Praetorian Army. 150,000 Jingzhao troops; and ordered the Hedong, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou armies to send troops to help within a time limit; He also borrowed troops from Hui Hui, and promised to send 120,000 troops to Hui with Luoyang's population and wealth, and jointly crusaded against the Tiance army.
The army led by Fang Xuan went first, and the Tiance army was defeated and retreated many times, Fang Xuan and Liu Zhi were triumphant, and then the 130,000 handsome army went out of Tongguan and met with 10,000 Tiance troops in Taolin, Shaanxi County. The two sides started a big battle.
Fang Xuan and Liu Zhi imitated the ancient art of war, set up a large chariot array in the Spring and Autumn Period, and guarded the wings with horse infantry troops, thinking that they would win, and then ...... was hanged.
The Tiance army first broke the enemy with fireworks and thunderbolts, and Fang Xuan's chariot array was suddenly in chaos, and then Xiao Quai's relatives led the Tiance cavalry to attack, shooting Liu Zhi and Li Yi, and the 130,000 Fang Xuan army collapsed in the end, and in the end they either died from trampling on each other. Either surrender on the spot, only Fang Xuan and Yuan Chongnian led less than a thousand horsemen to flee back to Tongguan in embarrassment.
Xiao Qu was sick and pursued after the victory. Chased all the way to Tongguan, and captured Tongguan, Fang Xuan and Yuan Chongnian fled to Chang'an in embarrassment, and the 10,000 Tiance army continued to chase closely, and the defeated army of Fang Xuan rushed to the Hexi Army and the Longyou Army, so Xiao Quai's illness took advantage of the situation to subdue the Hexi and Longyou armies.
At the same time, the Hui army finally arrived in Chang'an, the report of defeat came, and the army was in a panic, the Hui army saw that the situation was not good, and was ready to return to Mobei after plundering Chang'an, and was warned by the Tiance secret guard at a critical moment to warn the Chang'an defenders, blocking under the fortified city, and then the Shuofang army, the Hedong army and 20,000 Tiance troops suddenly appeared behind the Hui army to surround it.
On the other side, Li Qi, who had long been lurking in Chang'an City, launched a second coup d'Γ©tat with the help of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, and Li Heng was forced to step down; At the same time, Xiao Qubing led sixty horsemen to the prince's personal guards to Chang'an City, and took out evidence that Li Heng betrayed Luoyang and promised to return to Luoyang to plunder.
The proud Tang Dynasty people were suddenly angry, and Li Heng had abdicated in the Daming Palace, and tens of thousands of Chang'an defenders suddenly went anyway, Xiao Qubing entered Chang'an with 10,000 Tiance soldiers without blood; Then the 120,000 Hui army was annihilated, followed by Li Sheng, Ma Sui, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi led an army of 70,000 to the north to crusade against the Hui, and the Hui perished three months later.
In this way, the turmoil ~ turmoil instigated by Fang Xuan Liu Zhi and a group of nerds lasted only less than a month before it was completely quelled, and on the first day of June in the first year of Germany, Li Qi ascended the throne as the emperor, Li Heng was the emperor, and Li Longji was the supreme emperor.
At this point, Tiance Mansion Group has completely grasped all the power of Datang, and a new era has arrived, and the future of Datang has infinite possibilities!
Thinking of finally being able to let go of the big cause that the master said, the blood in Li Qi's whole body was simply boiling, and he remembered what the eldest brother Li Li said to himself when he forced his father to abdicate: "Third brother, you believe in King Yan so much? You never thought that one day he would usurp the throne! β
Then he told the eldest brother and Daddy: "Of course the master won't, even if he gives him the throne, he won't be it, he is too tired and troublesome."
Daddy, big brother, you don't know me and Master at all, what we are pursuing is not the throne, but an unprecedented cause...... It's not that Xiaoqi wants to rob you of the throne, but to accomplish this great cause, we need this throne......
The opening of the Western Regions, the opening of the South China Sea, the development of industry, and the convergence of the four seas to the world, the economy of Datang has changed, and this is a new era...... You always hold the old concept, you can't keep up with this era, and it turns out that you can't do it well! You even trust nerds like Fang Xuan and Liu Zhi, and good talkers like Yuan Chongnian......
Let's see how we build a brand-new and incomparably powerful Datang, and then you will be able to understand my mind and Master's thoughts! β
In such excitement and excitement, Li Qi and Xiao Quzhi quickly settled the world and stabilized the situation; Under Xiao Quai's repeated requests, Li Mi agreed to go out of the mountain, and Li Xian served as Shang Shuling (the real prime minister, because Li Shimin was no longer established in the Tang Dynasty) to preside over the government, and Li Mi and Wei Jiansu were the deputy prime ministers to assist him.
All the officials promoted by Li Heng and Fang Xuan were deposed, Li Xian and Li Qi promoted officials to take up positions again, Yan Zhenqing, Yan Gaoqing, Zhang Xun and other officials also entered the high-level of the court, and everything in the court was as usual, step by step.
Xiao Quzhi resigned from most of his positions and ran a school in Chang'an with great fanfare, established Chang'an's Tiance Academy and Tang Martial Arts, and selected talents from all over the world to teach them.
Li Qi was puzzled, and found Xiao Qubing with a puzzled face, so Xiao Quzhi simply asked Li Qi to gather many high-ranking civil and military officials, family representatives, and student representatives to give a lecture in the lecture hall of Tiance Academy. (To be continued.) )
