Late at night, Feng Yun rushed to Zhu Hongzhao's mansion in a hurry, looking at Zhu Hongzhao, who was enjoying female music, Feng Yun gritted his teeth with hatred, and wanted to eat it alive.

"Why did you cripple Li Congke's people?"

Zhu Hongzhao looked at Feng Yun, who was glaring angrily, and waved to him with a smile, and said, "A person who delivers a letter, what can he do if he hits?" Come, drink some good wine together. ”

Feng Yun was furious, stepped forward and overturned the table in front of Zhu Hongzhao, and then drove away the singers who were surrounding Zhu Hongzhao in three or two strokes, and roared loudly: "If you want to die, don't bother me!" ”

Zhu Hongzhao frowned, and said coldly: "You and I are both pillars of the court, today I don't argue with you in friendship, but you have to do it yourself!" ”

Feng Yun pointed at Zhu Hongzhao and said loudly: "Do you know what happened to Li Congke if he knows about today's events?" If the battle starts, how are you going to resist it? Will you lead the troops or will I lead the troops! ”

Zhu Hongzhao shook his head and said: "I expect that Li Congke will not dare to raise troops, and when today's events are reported back, Li Congke's subordinates will definitely be disheartened, and Li Congke will be distracted, and I will be able to make the next plan at that time." ”

Feng Yun laughed angrily when he heard this, and asked, "What else do you want to do?" ”

Zhu Hongzhao sneered and said, "Change towns!" ”

Feng Yun changed color in shock.

In May, the generals of Liangchuan persuaded Meng Zhixiang, the king of Shu, to be called the emperor, and after Meng Zhixiang and a group of subordinates "three persuasions and three lets", Meng Zhixiang held an enthronement ceremony in Chengdu, that is, the emperor's throne, and the country name Shu.

A few days later, Zhang Ye, the general of Shu State, led 20,000 troops into the area of Xingyuan and Yangzhou, and the Tang soldiers and horses could not resist, and Xingyuan and Yangzhou fell.

When the news reached Luoyang City, Emperor Li Conghou was extremely angry, since he ascended the throne, he was set aside by Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun, and now it's good, the two rivers are directly split, and Meng Zhixiang doesn't even leave the most basic face for himself, is this worth it?

Even if Li Conghou was cowardly, he couldn't sit still at this time, and immediately ordered Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun to enter the palace, and convened a group of cars to discuss in front of the palace, preparing to discuss the matter of sending troops to conquer Shu.

But what Li Conghou didn't expect was that after Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun rushed to the palace, they unanimously opposed sending troops to Shu, and the two thought that the current court had a lot of worries, and there were no generals who could fight in the court, and the court should guard the border and wait for Shu to collapse.

Li Conghou was so angry that he asked, "Do I want to wait for Meng Zhixiang and the rebellious people to come to Luoyang to ask for their guilt?" ”

Feng Yun was speechless when he heard this, and Zhu Hongzhao said with a smile: "The saint is gentle all over the world, as long as my Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, Meng Yi sees that there is no progress, maybe he will really lead the crowd to return!" ”

Li Conghou was furious, slammed the inkstone in front of him, and then brushed his sleeves away.

When Li Conghou was angry, Zhu Hongzhao took out an edict that had already been written, and said to the ministers in the main hall: "In order to rectify the soldiers and horses in various places, the sage decided to change the towns of all towns in the world, do you have any opinions?" ”

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and now that the two rivers were split to build a country, the imperial court not only sent troops to levy, but instead wanted to make moves on the local festivals, isn't it okay to find trouble?

At this time, many ministers looked at Feng Yun, hoping that Feng Yun could stand up and stop him. But Feng Yun's face was full of helplessness at this time, Emperor Li Conghou was hollowed out, and he was not, the finances, personnel, and Luoyang soldiers and horses in the court were all in the hands of Zhu Hongzhao, and he had empty titles and some insignificant rights, so he couldn't stop Zhu Hongzhao's various stupid moves.

Seeing that Feng Yun was silent, the ministers looked at Feng Dao again, but at this time, Feng Dao was completely in a posture of not caring about himself, standing aside and looking up at the roof of the main hall.

Seeing this, the ministers of the court and the central government were also heartbroken, and they knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so they all remained silent.

Zhu Hongzhao looked around, and saw that none of the dozens of ministers in the hall dared to stand up against him, and the confidence in his heart suddenly rose to the top, and a kind of joy and pride that he had never felt before filled his heart, this wonderful feeling made Zhu Hongzhao fascinated and almost addicted.

"Since you don't object, then this edict is passed!"

After speaking, Zhu Hongzhao walked out of the hall with a laugh.

A few days later, Emperor Li Conghou issued an edict ordering the Tianxia Jiedu envoy to exchange feudal towns to garrison. Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Congke go to Hedong to serve as the envoy of the Jiedu, and Dengzhou Jiedu made Li Congyan go to Pinglu Town to serve as the envoy of the Jiedu.

As soon as the news came out, the world shook.

Dengju City.

Li Congyan was a little crying and laughing after receiving the edict, he had already expected that the farce of "changing towns" would happen as scheduled, but he didn't expect Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun to add themselves, it seems that the historical trajectory has more or less changed.

Inside the house, Wu Conghan, Li Wei, Li Ren, Bai Jixun, and Wang Zuhe were arguing, and several people were divided into two factions. However, Li Wei, Li Ren, Wang Zuhe, and Bai Jixun advocated directly sending troops to Pinglu Town, didn't the imperial court order Li Congyan to go to Pinglu Town as an envoy, and the Dengzhou army directly swallowed Pinglu Town, to see how the imperial court dealt with it!

Li Congyan saw that everyone was arguing for a while, and Wu Conghan naturally couldn't resist the siege of the four, so he crossed his hands and said: "How the Lord is going to deal with it, please show the Lord!" ”

Li Congyan smiled and said, "Naturally, I won't go to Pinglu Town, and I won't give up Dengzhou Town." I'm just wondering now, what do you think Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao will do? ”

Bai Jixun said: "My subordinates thought that Shi Jingjiao would definitely delay and not move, and then bribe Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun, and would never move the place." As for Li Congke's ......, it is very likely that this person will directly raise troops! ”

The rest of the people also thought so, Li Congyan nodded and said, "I think so too." Since someone has come forward for us, let's wait and see how the situation develops. ”

Then, Li Congyan said to Wu Conghan: "Reply to the imperial court: Dengzhou Town has a lot of affairs, and it takes a lot of time to sort out the handover, and I can't go to Pinglu Town in the short term." ”

"Whoa!"

In fact, Li Congyan also has an idea, this time Li Congke has a ninety percent chance of raising troops, and according to the trajectory of historical development, Li Congke will directly enter Luoyang after raising troops this time. If the situation really develops like this, then I have the opportunity to expand my territory again!

At the same time that Li Congyan made up his mind, the Pinglu Town Festival made Shen Tan extremely excited, and he felt that the time had come for him to raise his eyebrows.

On the day he received Li Conghou's edict, Shen Tan sent an envoy to Dengzhou City, asking Li Congyan to hand over the town to him as soon as possible.

For Shen Tan, Dengzhou Town at this time was like a beautiful woman like a flower, waiting for him to go to pick it, so he was naturally a little impatient.

A few days later, Li Congyan saw the envoy of Pinglu Town in the garden of the mansion, at this time Li Congyan was both surprised and amused, he didn't expect Shen Tan to be so naïve, did he really think that with just the edict of a puppet emperor, he could get the rich Dengzhou Town that he had worked so hard to build?

"Qi Li Shuai, my lord has sorted out all the documents in Pinglu Town, and the treasury, arsenal, and case warehouse of Pinglu Town have also been sealed, and all the garrisons everywhere are gathered and on standby, just waiting for Li Shuai to go to receive it, and ask Li Shuai to determine the date of handover, and go back to his life."

Li Congyan looked at this young and white-looking messenger, and felt that this person's words were unhurried, giving people a feeling of neither humility nor arrogance, although he was urging himself to hand over Dengzhou Town, but his tone was very soft, which made people feel disgusted, so he was curious, and asked: "What is your name, and what is your position in Pinglu Town?" ”

"Qi Li Shuai, lowly and self-reliant, is now the head of my family."

Li Congyan nodded and sighed: "That's it, that's really condescending!" ”

The corners of Shang Zili's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he covered it up and said, "Humble duty is just doing your duty." ”

The deputy envoy standing next to Shang Zili frowned slightly, and his face was a little ugly.

Li Congyan said with a smile: "I have few talents, and I am thinking of recruiting some talents, I wonder if Mr. is willing to give in to talents?" If he wishes, I will treat him as a guest! ”

As he spoke, Li Congyan got up and saluted, so frightened that Shang Zili's face changed greatly, and hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Li Shuai has been humiliated!" The humble talent is shallow and uneducated, and it is not worth Li Shuai's concern, and I ask Li Shuai not to blame. ”

Li Congyan sighed slightly when she heard this, her face was full of disappointment, and she said, "Alas! How can Shen Tan He De be able to collect all the talents under the account, he is really envious of others! ”

Shang Zili's heart was hot when he heard this, and he wanted to say something with his hands crossed, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a word. And the deputy envoy glared at Shang Zili fiercely, his eyes full of anger.

Li Congyan patted Shang Zili's shoulder and said, "In that case, Mr. went back and told Shen Tan that Dengzhou's affairs are complicated, and I need time to settle it, so how about letting him give me half a month of grace?" ”

Shang Zili couldn't refuse, and immediately said: "Oh! I will go back and report it. ”

At this time, the Jiedu envoy of Pinglu Town was stationed in Qingzhou City, and Shang Zili and the deputy envoy returned to the Jiedu envoy Yamen to meet Shen Tan, and Shang Zili reported in detail the situation of going to Dengzhou City, including Li Congyan's desire to recruit himself.

Shen Tan didn't speak after hearing this, but looked at the deputy envoy, only to see the deputy envoy cross his hand and say, "Your Excellency, there is nothing to hide what Lord Shang Bo said. It's just that his subordinates feel that Shang Zhu Bo and Li Congyan are some heroes and cherish heroes, and it is a pity that they couldn't stay under Li Congyan this time! ”

Shang Zili was shocked when he heard this, pointed at the deputy envoy and said angrily: "You are so framed by me, what is your intention!" ”

"I'm just telling the truth, as for yes or no, you naturally know it in your heart!"

Shang Zili was about to argue with the envoy, but saw Shen Tan stand up abruptly and said loudly: "What else are you talking about!" If you hadn't been accompanied by an envoy this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come back to restore your life, right? ”

Shang Zili saw that his face was like ashes, and he knew that he was in a catastrophe today, so he said with a wry smile: "If I knew this, I might as well stay in Dengzhou City!" ”

Shen Tan's face changed greatly, and he shouted directly: "Someone! Pull Shang Zili down and cut it down! ”

"Whoa!"

Several soldiers rushed in and pulled Shang Zili outside the house and beheaded him directly. When the bloody head was presented, the anger in Shen Tan's heart dissipated, and he said to the deputy envoy: "Li Congyan is unwilling to change towns with me, what can I do?" ”

The deputy envoy didn't look at the head of Shang Zili, but replied: "The lord doesn't need to worry, if Li Congyan is still delaying after half a month, the lord can play the saint and directly impeach Li Congyan, and see what else he has to say!" ”

Shen Tan thought for a while, but couldn't think of any other way, and finally could only sigh and say helplessly: "It seems that it can only be like this!" ”
