readx; Li Qing'an wanted to take advantage of the irreconcilable contradictions between King Rong Li Wan and Li Heng to plunge the Southern Tang Dynasty into a civil war between the two kings vying for the throne, so he did not hesitate to put pressure on Yang Guozhong and ordered Yang Guozhong to persuade Li Wan to launch a mutiny and force Li Longji to abdicate.

But people are not as good as heaven, the development of the situation did not follow the trajectory arranged by Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an can plan a chess game, but he can't win people's hearts, at the last moment, Li Wan did not adopt Li Qing'an's arranged strategy, he did not launch a mutiny, but tried to use the method of poisoning in the palace to send Li Longji back to the west, Li Wan obviously underestimated the sinister nature of the people's hearts, he did not expect that a million pieces of jewelry and gold finally brought disaster to himself.

At the time of the third watch, Li Longji, who started with a coup d'état, took the lead, he secretly ordered Gao Xianzhi to gather military power and suppress the conspiracy and rebellion of Li Wan and Yang Guozhong, Gao Xianzhi immediately ordered his henchman Xi Yuanqing to lead an army of 10,000 troops to control Chengdu, Rongwangfu and Yang Guozhong's mansion were surrounded, Yang Guozhong and Li Wan were captured, and at the fifth watch, Li Longji issued a decree to behead the whole house.

Eighty-nine people were killed, one hundred and fifty-four people were killed in the Yang family, Yang Guozhong followed Li Longji for nearly 15 years, but was finally beheaded by Li Longji himself, Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Rou and the two sons who stayed in Chengdu were beheaded, not only Yang Guozhong's wife and daughter, all the incumbent officials of the Yang family were suspected of conspiracy to rebel, including Yang Tie, Yang hoe, Yang Zhao, Yang Qing and other uncles and brothers and nephews, including more than 30 people, were all ordered to be beheaded by Li Longji, and the once glorious Yang family did not escape the tragic end in the end.

Three days later, Li Heng arrived in Chengdu with an army of 80,000, Li Longji officially canonized Li Heng as the prince of the East Palace, the world is so funny, Li Heng, who had just ascended the throne in Chang'an for less than half a year, shook his body and became the prince of the East Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which made the world look sideways.

The news of the accident in Chengdu reached Chang'an two days later in the form of a flying pigeon message, which caused an uproar in Chang'an, and countless people felt confused and puzzled, and they had never heard of the emperor becoming a prince again, and everyone did not understand why Li Longji would appoint an immoral person as a prince.

But the Chang'an court was quite low-key on this matter, and not many people cared about it, at this time, the civil and military hearts of the Chang'an Manchu Dynasty were all on the establishment of the Chang'an New Dynasty.

Recommended by Li Qing'an, 340 officials above the fifth grade voted to formally elect Pei Min, Zhang Yun, Cui Lian, Wei Tao, Zhang Hao, Lu Huan, Wang Jin and other seven people as the new political affairs hall under the Zhongshu Sect.

Immediately the political hall announced the abolition of the puppet emperor Li Heng issued all the will, respect the Empress Shen as the queen mother, in the political hall and the Empress Dowager Shen unanimously proposed, the hundred officials supported the only flesh and blood of Li Yu, who was only two years old, Li Xun, the king of Sui, as the new emperor, changed the year name to Qingping, and this year is the first year of Qingping.

Since there was no longer a supervisor like Li Heng, the political affairs hall became the highest authority in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and all the important military affairs of the Northern Tang Dynasty were decided by the political affairs hall together, and the Empress Dowager Shen issued a decree to crown Li Qing'an as the Taishi, the general of Tiance, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and rewarded Li Qing'an with the Wanqing Huangzhuang in Weinan County.

．．．．．．．． In the Lin De Hall of Daming Palace, the Empress Dowager Shen personally met with Li Qing'an, who came to thank Li Qing'an, at this time Shen Zhu's heart was very sad, it was here last year, she also met Li Qing'an, and personally respected him as Shang's father, but Shang's father did not be able to keep her son, and her son was killed by his biological grandfather with the most despicable means.

Shen Pearl didn't blame Li Qing'an, she knew that if Li Qing'an was in Chang'an, Li Heng would never dare to do it, he just used Li Qing'an to do it during the war with Tubo in the Western Regions, Shen Pearl only hated herself, if she could be more careful and not leave her son's side, she would definitely stop her son from drinking the bowl of honey water.

Her relatives have died, and remorse is useless, Shen Pearl only hopes that one day she can kill the demon who killed her husband and son with her own hands, which has become her only belief in living in the world.

Shen Pearl sat on the inner hall and thought about his thoughts in a daze, when a guard at the door said in a loud voice, "General Tiance has come to see the Queen Mother!" ”

shouted twice in a row, Shen Pearl didn't react, she was still immersed in the memories of the past, and her henchman maid saw that Niangniang was distracted, so she gently touched her, "Niangniang!" ”

Shen Pearl suddenly came back to her senses and asked, "Has His Royal Highness King Zhao arrived?" ”

"It's been a long time, waiting outside for the Queen Mother to summon me."

"Ahh Summoning him to him quickly. ”

"The Queen Mother has a decree to summon the general of Tiance into the palace!"

The two palace maids quickly pulled a curtain to separate Shen Zhu, and after a while, Li Qing'an walked into the inner hall quickly, and he saw Shen Pearl sitting behind the curtain at a glance, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, this poor woman, watching her husband and son die tragically one after another, I don't know how sad she will be in her heart.

Li Qing'an took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Minister, Anxi Festival makes Li Qing'an see the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a thousand years old!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao doesn't need to be polite, please get up!"

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

Li Qingan stood up, bowed down and said, "The minister came to the palace to thank the Queen Mother for her gift!" ”

Shen Pearl smiled slightly: "With His Royal Highness's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, no matter what kind of reward is not exaggerated, in fact, the mourning family means that he hopes that His Highness can become a prisoner, but he doesn't dare to put it forward easily, so he wants to ask His Highness for his will first." ”

"Thank you Niangniang for your kindness, the political hall also has this intention, but they were all rejected by Weichen, Weichen wants to concentrate on unifying the Tang Dynasty, and has no time to ask about specific government affairs, so it is better for the minister not to serve as a civil servant."

"Since this is the case, the mourning family will not force you, but the mourning family hopes that you can accept the gift of that imperial village, otherwise, the mourning family will be very uneasy in their hearts."

Speaking of Huangzhuang, this is also the main purpose of Li Qing'an's entry into the palace, he just wants to resign from the gift of the Wanqing Huangzhuang, he bowed and said: "Niangniang, that piece of Huangzhuang can not accept it!" ”

"Why? Don't the mourners have the right to bestow it on you? ”

"Definitely!"

Li Qing'an shook his head and said: "Niangniang's Meiyi minister is grateful, but the political hall has made a decision to inherit the unfinished business of Emperor Jingzong, and give all the land that has not yet been allocated to the people of Guanzhong, so that the cultivators can have their fields, and completely alleviate the crisis of land annexation. ”

Shen Pearl was silent, and after a while, she sighed and said: "The mourning family is ignorant, thank you Your Highness for understanding the righteousness, and the mourning family listens to His Highness's arrangement in this matter." ”

Li Qing'an listened to her voice to her left and right, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she smiled and said: "In front of the Queen Mother, Chen An dares to call His Royal Highness, and the Queen Mother may as well call the minister's military position." ”

Shen Pearl smiled, then nodded and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and call you a general!" ”

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's understanding of Weichen, if there is nothing else, Weichen will retire."

Shen Pearl didn't say anything, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "The mourning family has something to say to the general in private, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Li Qing'an nodded, and at this time, several palace maids stepped forward to close the door of the inner hall, and the hall was suddenly dark, and Shen Pearl said to several maids: "You also retreat." ”

Several maids retreated, there were only Li Qing'an and Shen Pearl in the inner hall, which made Li Qing'an feel that the atmosphere was a little weird, he felt something, he couldn't help but look up, only to see Shen Pearl slowly opened the thin gauze curtain, he can now clearly see Shen Pearl's face, a delicate face, a young and haggard young woman, she is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, she became the queen mother, I really don't know what to do in the long years ahead?

"General, the mourning family also knows that a private conversation with you behind closed doors will affect your reputation, and the mourning family apologizes to you first."

"I don't care!"

Shen Pearl sighed softly, and said: "I died my husband and son, I don't have any nostalgia for this world, I originally wanted to become a nun, but your wife Mingyue persuaded me, the big hatred is not embraced, how can I quit the red dust, I think it's right, if I can't see the enemy being stabbed with my own eyes, my heart can't leave the world, the reason why I promised to be the queen mother again this time, in fact, to a large extent, I am preparing to repay you." ”

Li Qingan was just about to speak, but Shen Pearl waved his hand to stop him again, "Don't interrupt me, let me finish speaking." ”

Shen Pearl pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Li Qingan, why don't we make a deal!" ”

"Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't quite understand."

"Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me, you are only two years old Xun'er as the emperor, do you think I don't understand your mind? At the beginning, the first emperor told me that you are very ambitious, so I let Shi'er worship you as a father, not only to ask you for protection, but also to hope that you will not hurt my son, although Shi'er died tragically in the end, but I don't hate you, I know that you are not in Chang'an, far away in Tochar, I thought you would ascend the throne after you came back, but I didn't expect you to be the emperor, Li Qing'an, you make me very incomprehensible! ”

Li Qing'an's face showed a faint smile, and said: "Then I want to ask Niangniang, did the first emperor say it, who can believe it?" ”

"The first emperor asked me not to believe you, but to believe Guo Ziyi, but this time, Guo Ziyi disappointed me very much, he was too slippery, he didn't dare to offend Li Heng at all, or didn't dare to offend you, I know very well that according to your identity and strength, it is more than enough to destroy Li Heng, so Li Qingan, I want to make a deal with you."

"Deal?"

Li Qingan glanced at her, he didn't understand what capital she had to trade with herself, unless her body, at this time, Li Qingan faintly felt that Shen Pearl let herself be alone with her in the dark room, it was not as simple as saying a few private words, if that was the case, there was no need for her henchman maid to leave, and there was no need to open the curtain, Li Qingan felt that she seemed to be deliberately creating an atmosphere that tempted herself.

"What does the Queen Mother want to trade with me?" Li Qingan's voice was also slightly nervous.

Shen Zhu's face was slightly red, she didn't dare to look up at Li Qing'an's eyes, and said in a low voice: "I only have two things to exchange with you, one is my status as the queen mother, and the other I don't say that you understand, but I hope you can accept the former." ”

Li Qingan smiled and said, "How can you make a deal with me as the queen mother?" ”

Shen Pearl slowly raised his head, stared at Li Qing'an's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said word by word: "If you can agree to my request, as long as you make a request, I can issue an order for Xun'er to abdicate at will, and I will come forward to announce to the people of the world that you can legally ascend the throne." ”

Li Qingan also stared at Shen Zhu's eyes, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "The Queen Mother's request is to let me hand over Li Heng to you, right!" ”

"Yes! Only you can do it in this world, and I will kill the emperor and my son with my own hands. ”

Li Qingan was silent for a moment, he sighed and said: "Queen Mother, I can promise you to kill him, but I want to hand him over to you, you know it's difficult." ”

"I also know it's hard, that's why I'm making a deal with you."

Speaking of this, Shen Pearl bit her lip lightly and whispered to Li Qingan: "Li Qingan, as long as you agree to my request, no matter what conditions you make, I can agree." ”

．．．．．．．．． Li Heng's flight to the south triggered a wave of flight from his henchmen and ministers, when Li Qing'an led the army into the city, the chaos in Chang'an gradually calmed down, at this time, Chang'an City has been completely controlled by Qianniuwei, Li Qing'an through the political hall, appointed Su Zhen as Jing Zhaoyin, and at the same time appointed a new Wannian County and Chang'an County County Order, he ordered Qianniuwei to release power, and returned the affairs that belonged to the county government to Chang'an County and Wannian County, Qianniuwei turned his energy to maintain the safety and order of the squares, and those neighborhood disputes, The trivial matters of the Crime Elimination Section will be handed over to the county government to deal with.

Li Qing'an came out of Daming Palace, it was already dusk, he closed his eyes and leaned on the cushion, his body shook gently with the carriage, he couldn't erase Shen Pearl's sad and beautiful face in his mind, he couldn't help but think of Shen Pearl in history, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's army captured Chang'an, Shen Pearl didn't have time to escape, was caught by the rebels, and was taken captive to the palace of An Lushan in Luoyang, the insults and bullying she received can be imagined, this poor woman's whereabouts are unknown, and it has become an insoluble mystery in history.

In fact, with Li Qing'an's understanding of Li Yu, Shen Pearl may only have two endings in the end, one is to become a nun and escape into the empty door, and the second is to be killed by Li Yu.

History has turned a corner for him, Shen Pearl will no longer be bullied by An Lushan's army, but she has suffered another misfortune in life, which makes Li Qingan can't help but feel a trace of pity.

At present, Li Longji controls the vast territory south of the Yangtze River, Li Mao of Jingxiang and Li Lan of Jianghuai both have more than 100,000 heavy troops, plus Li Heng's Guanzhong Army, Ge Shuhan's Lianghu Army and Gao Xianzhi's Jiannan Army, and Lingnan's 30,000 Army, Li Longji's army can mobilize 500,000 troops, and although his Anxi army is sharp, it is impossible to abandon Anxi and withdraw to the Central Plains, and most of his army has to stay in Anxi.

Coupled with the 30,000 troops north of Taiyuan in Hedong and the 40,000 troops in Tongguan, he only had 200,000 troops at most, and he had to face not only Li Longji's 500,000 troops, but also Guo Ziyi's 100,000 non-enemy and non-friendly troops, as well as the 300,000 Fanyang troops of An Lushan, who were about to rebel, and the 100,000 Guanzhong troops in Henan and Hedong who did not have time to be taken away by Li Heng.

It can be said that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation is very serious, but no matter how severe the situation is, he can't not move, so where should he start with his first step?
