Tian Lingzi snorted and sneered twice, picked up the wine jug, and poured Guo Qi a glass of wine with his own hands. Then, he walked up with a wine and said, "Please calm the general's anger." This is the emperor's reward, please drink it! Lao Guo knew that it was poisonous wine, but Tian Lingzi said that it was given by the emperor and could not help but drink it. At that time, Tian Lingzi's words were the emperor's holy decree. Lao Guo froze, tilted his neck, "Gu Deng", and drank it. The corners of Tian Lingzi's mouth moved, and he thought to himself, you go to die!

Guo Qi threw the wine glass and ran all the way home. Kill a maid and suck her blood to detoxify. After the blood is drunk, several liters of black blood are spit out. After detoxifying, he put on his sword, went out, and immediately gathered troops to attack Tian Lingzi.

If you start something in a hurry, how can you be undefeated? A fierce battle, with countless casualties on both sides. Fight to the end, only one person is by his side. Guo Qi knows that at this point, only loyal and honest people will not leave, and only such people can trust each other with great things. He couldn't go back, so he took off his sword and said to the man, "You send his sword to Chen Jingxuan, and tell him that you have killed him and thrown him into the river to feed the fish." Chen Jingxuan will definitely believe your words when he gets the sword and the seal. He would hang them at the gates of the city to appease people. Then, you will be rewarded and his own family will be safe. He also told him that he was looking for an opportunity to go to Guangling to defect to Gao Biao. Gao Biao has been a festival envoy in Chengdu, and he is an old superior, and he will definitely take him in.

Tian Lingzi is doing nonsense, and there is a backstage of the sect. Then, Chen Jingxuan's backstage is his brother Tian Lingzi. Why is one surnamed Chen and the other surnamed Tian brothers? During the Spring and Autumn Period, the surname Tian came from the surname Chen, so the surname Tian is the descendant of the Chen family. Chen Jingxuan heard that Shannan Jiedu enabled a kind of medicine to be burned into gold. It's tickling in my heart. The envoy also took out the gold to show Chen Jingxuan. Chen Jingxuan wanted to get the secret recipe for burning medicine into gold, but this festival envoy didn't give him the recipe. Chen Jingxuan sent someone to kill him.

Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan, two brothers, cover the sky with one hand. The authoritarian court, that's it!

When the emperor came to Chengdu, he did not learn from the pain, but forgot the pain after the scars. Every day, "re-engage in the old business", eat, drink and have fun, sing and dance, a peaceful and prosperous world. Even if he sometimes talks about the world with eunuchs, he is very thin on foreign ministers. He relied on eunuchs and spoiled ministers. It is impossible to govern the country well.

A counselor told the Emperor that the rewards and punishments are clear, fair and reasonable, and that China and foreign countries should be treated as a whole. In the first year, he left Chang'an and did not notify the South Division, so that the prime minister and the servant (deputy minister) were killed by Huang Chao, and only the North Division was safe. Guo Qi made a rebellion, and did not call the prime minister to discuss, nor did he comfort the courtiers. For example, he himself is a counselor. I don't know the emperor's recent situation.

He went on to write: If the ministers ignore the king, the crime will be punished; If Your Majesty doesn't sympathize with the ministers, Yu Yi'an is here! Those who are in the world are the worlds of Gaozu and Taizong. Not the son of heaven of the North Division. The North Division may not be credible, and the South Division may not be useless. How can the Son of Heaven have nothing to do with the prime minister, and the courtiers are all passers-by!

This official is called Meng Zhaotu. It's a pity that he can't see the emperor. That letter naturally fell into the hands of Tian Lingzi, where could it reach the emperor? Meng Zhaotu is the right pick-up. The right gleaner is the counselor. He can't even see the Emperor, then. What is the emperor doing?

Tian Lingzi was very angry when he saw it, and he belittled Meng Zhaotu to go to other places to be a householder. They even sent people to kill him on the road and throw him into the river. Meng Zhaotu's servants salvaged him from the river and buried him before he was buried in the ground.

At this time, in the city of Chang'an, the people fled to the mountains to take refuge. They lived in grass huts, ate wild vegetables, gnawed tree bark, and built villages to protect themselves. The sluggishness of agricultural production in Guanzhong has led to soaring grain prices. Thirty a bucket, that is, three thousand copper coins to buy a pound of grain. Even robbers hijacked people and sold them to officials and soldiers in exchange for food. The price of a person is fat and thin, a living person can be sold for hundreds of hair, and there are murder factories everywhere. The wailing is all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, and I can't bear to read it suddenly!

Chengdu is no better. Because so many people went at once, the court was extravagant, and the finances were tight. Chen Jingxuan often sent people to the following counties and towns to ask for money and grain. If you don't give it, you will let the county order suffer. As the saying goes, the officials force the people to rebel, and these people take refuge in the green forest and become strongmen. Among them, there is a town general named Xie Hongrang, who was also forced into Kou in this way.

Chen Jingxuan lied to him, saying that if you come out as an official, the court will treat you well. He believed Chen Jingxuan's nonsense and really came out of the mountains. When he returned to the official mansion, Chen Jingxuan's people were already waiting! After being caught, he was reflexively hung up and beaten severely, and there was no good meat on his body. And they set him to the west of the city, and poured hot oil on him, and tied his wounds with ropes. Sima Guang said, "Be extremely cruel, and those who see it will be wronged."

Thousands of people in Shu gathered to fight the government army, and the momentum was very strong. The troops sent could not defeat the rebels, so they asked Chen Jingxuan for more troops from the imperial court. Where is Chen Jingxuan looking for someone? He arrested the gatekeeper and the warehouse keeper, and the result was predictable.

Those officials lost the battle, how to explain to the imperial court? Therefore, he lied about the military situation and went to the countryside to arrest some peasants who were harvesting crops. Then, the peasants were taken prisoner and sent to the military government on errands. Chen Jingxuan didn't ask a word, and killed all these people as prisoners.

It was not enough for the Emperor to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but also to kill innocent concubines. By 884, Huang Chao was killed by his nephew Lin Yan. Huang Chao's wife, brothers, and children were all beheaded. Lin Yan was about to send it to invite merit, but on the way, he was captured by the Shatuo army and killed Lin Yan.

Huang Chao's body was transported to Chengdu, along with the concubine left by Xizong in Chang'an. When Xi Zong saw these women who used to be his and later became women in the Yellow Nest, the vinegar altar overturned, and asked them angrily, "You have all received the grace of the country, why are you thieves?"

There is really no reason for this question. Your emperor left them behind, made no sound, and fled by himself. They were frightened and insulted in Chang'an. When I came to Chengdu today, not only did I not have a word of comfort and sympathy, but I also blamed them, and I really didn't treat them as human beings.

An older sister said that the Huangchao Incident, millions of people in the country did not stop it, and they lost their Beijing division and arrived in Chengdu. Now blame them for these women, so where do you put those ministers? It really speaks to everyone's heart.

Xi Zong's face was flushed with anger, and he ordered them to be killed. Before being sentenced, they felt that even if they died. It's also a hundred times stronger than this incompetent man! One by one, their expressions were "calm and solemn", and they despised the incompetence of the sect with their noble lives.

Unable to return to the sky

Year 886. Li Keyong and a person named Wang Chongrong asked Xizong to return to the palace, preparing to kill Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi knew that Chang'an couldn't stay. He also asked the emperor to go to Xingyuan, but Xizong did not agree to go. Xizong arrived in Chang'an, and soon after, Tian Lingzi entered the palace and forcibly left the city. They traveled all the way day and night to Baoji. There were only a few hundred servants, and the prime minister still didn't know about it. Baoji is about 400 miles west of Chang'an, and it is very close to Fengxiang.

People are gone, but so many mouths want to eat, where does the food come from? The emperor appointed Wang Chongrong as the envoy to receive grain. He was asked to hurry up and deliver the grain and grass. He thought that his words were still holy decrees, but how many people listened to him? Wang Chongrong said, okay, if you kill Tian Lingzi, the grain and grass will naturally be transported. Where can the emperor kill Tian Lingzi? Under the hostage of Tian Lingzi, Xizong took refuge in Xingyuan. Xingyuan is the Hanzhong of Qinling Mountains, and Xi'an must pass into Sichuan.

So far, according to the historical books, the Emperor has been relocated six times. I won't go into all of them here.

Tian Lingzi knew that he was not tolerated by the world, and once again took refuge in his younger brother Chen Jingxuan in Sichuan.

The court could not live without the emperor, and Wang Chongrong, a powerful faction in Guanzhong, looked down on Xizong very much. He welcomed King Xiang to Chang'an and re-elected the emperor. Such. King Xiang ascended the throne, and Wang Chongrong transported all the grain to Chang'an.

Appointing another emperor is an extremely risky business. People have to think twice, so not many people follow the trend. Except for Wang Chongrong. Only Zhu Mei supports it. King Xiang's name is Li Shu (read cloud), and he is the first in the world. I sent someone to Jinyang and gave Li Keyong instructions, saying that he had become emperor and hoped to get your support. Li Keyong was both a sensible man and a hardliner, and he was opposed to another emperor. And Zhu Mei was condemned by everyone again. This is all due to the fact that the Emperor is still in position, and Li Su is difficult to be recognized. Because Li Ke used this powerful faction to oppose it, the capital was in chaos, causing the capital to be looted again. Wang Chongrong saw that the situation was not right, shirked responsibility, and killed Li Shu. At that time, it was a harsh winter, and the winter in the northwest was full of snow and ice everywhere. There were so many people in Chang'an who froze to death, and Sima Guang said: "The dead cover the ground." "886 is such a lucky number, and it does not bring any luck to the court and the people.

Li Shu was not the only one who was unlucky, his government officials were called puppets and were all killed. If it weren't for the ability of the prime minister, many courtiers would have been killed. In political matters, I am not afraid that you will do a good job, but I am afraid that you will be on the wrong side.

Because Li Shu was killed, Xizong arrived in Fengxiang and prepared to return to Beijing, but Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Changfu not let him enter Beijing.

In 887, the eastern capital of Luoyang was robbed by Huang Chao's troops a few years earlier, and now it was brutalized by Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru. The three cities of Luoyang, only the broken wall remains. "Zizhi Tongjian" records: the entire Luoyang "white bones cover the ground, thorns are full of hope, the people are less than 100 households, and there are no cultivators in the four fields".

This year, Qian Hao served as the assassin of Hangzhou.

This year, Gao Biao was placed under house arrest by Bi Shiduo, and he had no food to eat, so he killed people to eat. Gao Biao was killed in the end, and died a miserable and ugly death. His son, his brother, and his nephews, young and old, killed the whole family. Then a pit was dug and thrown into the pit, and thorns and lime were thrown in. The ancient custom is that it is bad enough to bury the elder and the young, the male and the female together, and to use thorns and lime, which is the whipping and waste, is the greatest disrespect to the dead. This fulfills what Gao Biao said to him in the past when he killed innocents indiscriminately: If you lose your conscience and kill innocents indiscriminately, you will be punished in the future. It is not the old woman who curses him, but the evil deeds of Gao Yu will definitely be punished. Back then, the old woman's whole family was also slaughtered by Gao Biao like this.

There is a big liar under Gao Biao, named Lu Yongzhi. This person has a pair of rotten feet, a wicked man who is so bad that he has sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, and he deceived Gao Yu around. Gao Biao is a person with a habit of cleanliness, and he can let this rotten foot sleep in his own home, which shows the cleverness of deception. Lu Yongzhi used Gao Yu to do many things that lacked morality. The fox and the tiger are powerful and dog-like, and many of the generals under Gao Yu were killed by him.

After Gao Yu died, he knew that the end had come, so he anointed the soles of his feet with oil and fled to Tianchang. Tianchang was Yang Xingmi's territory, and Yang Xingmi was a tyrant in the southeast at that time. He lied to Yang Xingmi that he had 50,000 pieces of silver and buried it somewhere. I am willing to give it to him after conquering Yangzhou City as a drunken asset. Yang Xingmi later became the monarch of Wu, one of the Ten Kingdoms.

Yang Xingmi knew his virtues, and first asked the captured soldiers. When I asked, I realized that he was indeed a liar. So, the order was given to take it quickly. This rotten foot tube that has done a lot of evil, like a monkey, was dragged under a willow tree with a crooked neck, like cutting down a tree, and cut it off from the waist, which is called waist chopping. When the people heard that they were going to kill this villain, they sharpened their knives, and each of them carried a few sharp knives in their arms, and waited there early. To put it mildly, it's like an eagle staring at the dead rat from above, swooping down when the time comes. "Zizhi Tongjian" wrote: "Complaining about the family and cutting off everything, and punishing the party of his clan." The bad guys will be retributed in the end, and Sima Guang will definitely confess. Wang Jian's adopted son Wang Zongbi, who will be written later, was killed, and the people of Chengdu poured out of the city, and they also took a fast-sharpened knife to cut meat and eat it.

As the saying goes, no matter how bad a person is, he has a friend. Gao Biao's friend was Yang Xingmi, who avenged Gao Biao and sent troops to attack Yangzhou. At that time, there was a shortage of food in Yangzhou City, "the rice was 50 yuan, the grass roots and trees were exhausted, and most of them starved to death with violet mud as bread." Muddy is mud. When the soldiers snatched people, they sold them to the shops, "driving and slaughtering them like sheep and pigs, and they died without a sound, and the corpses were bleeding and filled the city." Bi Shiduo, who killed Gao Pi, had nothing to do with these murderous factories that had sprung up like mushrooms. Yang Xingmi was about to withdraw from the army, and at this time, there were less than 100 households left in Yangzhou City, and "hunger was not restored". Yang Xing secretly killed thousands of Gao Ba's comrades, and a few acres of land outside the temple were completely red.

The year 888, a rare year for thousands of years, is an extremely lucky number in the eyes of many people. A number that many people love, but it is not auspicious for the Emperor, this year, he was thirty years old, a serious illness, leaving the chaotic and sad world. From a historical point of view, Xizong is only a symbol of the Tang Dynasty, at most a tablet. He did not do a good thing except to waste money and food, except to play, and to suffer the people. After seeing a disgusting history of him and looking at the tragic history of the Tang Dynasty, you can give him these titles: Gongzi Brother, Gentleman Disciple, Rich Second Generation, Official Second Generation, Faint Monarch, Loser, Bastard. Also, the ghost of the back. Why do you call him that? Because when he ascended the throne, he was encountering Wang Xianzhi and the Huangchao uprising.

People would rather remember Tang Taizong seeing Wei Zheng go out for burial than remember this mediocre emperor, and even resent him and hated him. This history belongs to the Yellow Nest and to the suffering people who followed the Yellow Nest. They can represent this history. (To be continued......)
