A knife in love

Chapter 2017
Having said this, Feng Wei sighed, and continued: "When Zhou Shizong Chai Rong died, the Khitan people had the intention of going south. The Emperor Taizu obeyed the Queen Mother's order and led the imperial army to defend the enemy northward. As a result, the army marched to Chenqiao At the inn, the soldiers stood still, raised their arms and shouted "check to be the emperor", put a yellow robe on the emperor Taizu, and then returned to the capital, using the Song Dynasty as the Zhou Dynasty. Li Cunxu was confused for a while, and transferred Li Siyuan who was guarding the border Returning to fight the rebellion, how similar is it to the emperor Taizu wearing a yellow robe? Sure enough, Li Siyuan led the army to Weizhou, and his trusted generals and guards mutinied, threatening that the emperor Li Cunxu was fatuous, ignorant and virtuous, how could he be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Li Siyuan Love soldiers like sons, be generous and benevolent, and should be enthroned as emperor.

"The rebels in Weizhou City heard that Li Siyuan led the army to put down the rebellion. They knew that Li Siyuan was used to fighting and was a famous general in Li Keyong's account after Li Cunxu, so they were a little frightened. But Li Siyuan led the army After arriving at the city of Weizhou, they did not attack or besiege the city, but set up a big camp outside the city. The rebel generals in the city were a little bit surprised and panicked, not knowing what Li Siyuan was planning. A few days later, an envoy from the camp of Li Siyuan's army came to the city of Weizhou suddenly, and wanted to enter the city to see the leader of the rebel army. After the rebel army brought the envoy into the city, they realized that Li Siyuan was supported by his soldiers and had already decided to go to the capital. As long as the rebels submit to Li Siyuan, they will not be prosecuted for the crime of rebellion. Moreover, after killing the treacherous officials, the rebel soldiers are not only innocent, but have meritorious service, and everyone will be rewarded. After hearing this, the rebel generals were overjoyed. Then he decided to go out of the city and surrender to Li Siyuan. After that, Li Siyuan led the army to march southward, and every time he went to a place, the rebels surrendered one after another, and the people rejoiced, saying that Li Siyuan should be the emperor."

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Qi Jiu heard what Feng Wei said, they all thought that there were many suspicious things in Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny at Chenqiao.It is mostly nonsense to say that he was forced to become emperor because of the mutiny of the soldiers.As for Li Siyuan being held hostage by his trusted generals and guards and forced to meet Li Cunxu with swordsmen, it is likely that he negotiated with his generals.Li Cunxu was quite afraid of Li Siyuan, and had long wanted to kill him.It's just that due to the situation, it didn't start.Now that Li Cunxu is besieged on all sides, and there is great chaos in every corner, to let Li Siyuan go south to put down the rebellion, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house and make him burn himself?Li Siyuan has always been worried that Li Cunxu would harm him, so given such a good opportunity, how could he not take the opportunity to stab Li Cunxu in the back?These emperors and generals are all ruthless, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but secretly full of male robbers and female prostitutes.Li Cunxu is not worthy of sympathy because he is humiliating himself.

It's just that although Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Qi Jiuxin thought about it, they didn't speak.Wang Xiaoyu was young and energetic, and couldn't help but said: "Old Mr. Feng, what you said is a bit weird. It's not unusual for Li Siyuan to lead his army south and mutiny on the way. But you claim to be an official of the Song Dynasty. The emperor Taizu was mentioned outside the words, which seemed to imply that he was not in the right position, this is not something that a courtier dares to say?!"

Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's words, Feng Wei was terrified and regretted secretly, thinking that he had made a slip of the tongue for a while, and was caught by this little girl.Although this place is thousands of miles away from Great Song Dynasty, but when she returns to the Central Plains in the future, if this little girl tells the story, even if she refuses to admit it to death, the Shangguan will probably be suspicious.I will not say anything about my official career, and maybe my life will be lost.Thinking of this, Feng Wei's face changed drastically, and his body trembled slightly.

Seeing that Feng Wei was so frightened, Wang Xiaoyu felt complacent, and was about to say a few more words. It would be best to scare the old man into tears, so that he could vent his anger.But before she could speak, Li Qiufeng rushed to say, "Mr. Feng, don't worry, we can all testify that you just mentioned that Emperor Taizu added a yellow robe, and you didn't mean anything disrespectful."

Li Qiufeng glared at Wang Xiaoyu while speaking.Although Wang Xiaoyu was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to argue, so he had to keep his mouth shut.Only then did Feng Wei feel a little relieved, and looked at Li Qiufeng gratefully, and then said: "Li Cunxu heard in the capital that Li Siyuan had also turned against him, so he couldn't sit still anymore. He knew that Li Siyuan was different from other generals in that he was not only strong in martial arts, He is also very strategic. Only by fighting on his own can he be restrained. Seeing that Li Cunxu had made up his mind, the eunuchs and actors did not dare to persuade him anymore. It was just that when Li Cunxu sent troops, he forced these eunuchs and actors to go with him, so that These people were jealous and hated, so they sowed disaster.

"Li Cunxu led an army out of the capital, and wanted to go to Bianzhou, where he dispatched troops from all walks of life to suppress the rebellion. However, he was not far away, and a scout came to report that Li Siyuan had taken the lead in occupying Bianzhou, and Tang army generals from all over the country surrendered to Li Siyuan one after another. Li Cunxu knew that Li Siyuan captured Bianzhou, knew that his plot had been seen through by Li Siyuan, and the situation was irreversible, so he had to order to return to the army and hastily returned to the capital Luoyang. The water and fire also chilled the hearts of the soldiers who were born and died with him, and fought everywhere. Therefore, he repeatedly comforted the soldiers on the way to retreat and promised generous rewards, but it was too late, and the soldiers no longer appreciated the emperor's kindness, and fled along the way More than half.

"Seeing this situation, Li Cunxu knew that if he insisted on defending Luoyang, the soldiers under his command might escape completely, so he could not guard Luoyang City by himself. Therefore, he decided to go to Sishui Pass and join forces with the Tang army who was returning to the Central Plains. One of the soldiers attacked and suppressed Li Siyuan. But before he got up, his actors and eunuchs launched a rebellion and besieged Li Cunxu. The two sides fought fiercely in the palace. Li Cunxu was born with martial arts and killed hundreds of rebels by himself, but he was eventually rebelled Jun Luan shot him to death at the age of 43. A few conscientious actors covered Li Cunxu's body with musical instruments, and then set fire to his body to prevent his body from being trampled and insulted by the rebels.

"After Li Cunxu's death, the soldiers who followed him had no leader, so they had to surrender to Li Siyuan together with the army that conquered Shu. Li Siyuan entered Luoyang City and proclaimed himself emperor before Li Cunxu's spirit. He became Tang Mingzong later. After Li Siyuan proclaimed himself emperor, he was honored as emperor Li Cunxu was buried, and he held the coffin and wept loudly, claiming that he had no intention of rebellion, but that his soldiers supported him and had to do it."

Hearing Feng Wei's words, Wang Xiaoyu was very disdainful, and was about to scold Li Siyuan for being mean and shameless, but seeing Li Qiufeng staring at her, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

I only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "Li Siyuan became emperor in Luoyang, and the documents and classics that Li Cunxu transported back from the Kingdom of Shu earlier belonged to him. It's just that Li Siyuan was born as a military general, so he didn't have any interest in these scrolls, so he chose a place in the palace. In a remote palace, he threw these scrolls in and ignored them. He didn't know that among these documents and classics, there was a formation diagram written by Zhuge Wuhou himself. Otherwise, he would have picked out the formation diagram and studied it carefully , and then use it to train soldiers to deal with the Liao Kingdom in the north."
