I am the king of the dead

Chapter 725

Han envoys have always been known for their toughness, not to mention the long-renowned Zhang Qian, Ban Chao, and Wang Xuance, all of which have been compiled into scripts, and the world is familiar with them.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a place called Kubin State, which was not part of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and it was 2 miles away from Chang'an.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great Han sent an envoy to the state of Kubin.

Wu Toulao, the king of the Kubin Kingdom, felt that the heavenly soldiers of the Han could not come, so he killed the Han envoys and robbed his property. After Wu Toulao died, his son succeeded him, and the Han sent envoys to the Kubin Kingdom.

This time the envoy was a captain from the border, whose surname was Wen and whose name was Zhong.

This son has the same personality as his father. King Jubin thought that the Han envoy was rich, so he wanted to kill the Han envoy and rob the fortune.

Du Wei Wenzhong couldn't get used to him, so he killed the new king of Kubin directly and made another king.

This is the style of work of the Han envoys.

When did the Han envoys become weak?
Two Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi reformed to strengthen himself, Song Shenzong supported it, and the vigorous Xining Reform began.

At that time, the general Wang Shao, as a supporter of the new law, Ren Tongyuan's army knew the military, and launched an attack on Xixia, expanding the land in Mizhi, Yihe, Futu, Jialu, Wubao, Anjiang and other villages.

The Xihe River was opened to expand the land for thousands of miles in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xihe Road was built.

After Song Shenzong's death, Song Zhezong ascended to the throne, Empress Dowager Gao came to rule the court, and Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Liu Zhi and others controlled the court.

The first thing they did was to return the Xihe Road built by Xihe River to Xixia.

Sima Guang dealt with Xixia: There are only two strategies, one is to return to its invaded borders, and the other is to ban its private market.

Lu Dafang, Minister of the DPRK and China, put forward different opinions, and asked Sima Guang, "If the land of Taolan is lost, will the troubles of Longshu in the future be avoided?" '

You are weak and ceded the land now, and there will be another army trouble in the Guanlong area in the future, what should you do?

Sima Guang became angry from embarrassment, and Lu Dafang was dismissed immediately, and then demoted again and again.

An Tao, a member of the Privy Council, asked Sima Guang: "Since the east of Lingwu, it has always been the old land of China. The first emperor asked the teacher who committed the crime and recovered it. Just sent it back like this?"

Then An Tao became an idle position, no longer taking things seriously.

In June of the first year of Yuanyou, Xixia sent an envoy to the Northern Song Dynasty to ask for Lanzhou, Mizhi and other places. In the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, in front of all civil and military officials, the Xixia envoy said to Song Zhezong: "Shenzong knows his mistake!"

A barbarian envoy, on the court, told the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty that your father should know his mistake!
The 11-year-old Song Zhezong couldn't bear the humiliation, stood up and changed color, angry, shook his hands and left.

In the end, Sima Guang ceded to Xixia the land of the Four Villages including Mizhi, Futu, Jialu, and Anjiang.

Did Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others make Xixia feel grateful and grateful for the land cession?

The act of ceding the land only brought Xixia's contempt and contempt, saying: Xia people get their land but don't have it, and they are as insulting as before.

Sima Guang abolished the recruitment law in February of the first year of Yuanyou, the military law in June, ceded the four villages in July, and abolished the green crop law in August, and died of illness in September. All Wang Anshi's new laws were abolished before, and Sima Guang was satisfied, and died with peace in his eyes.

As an angel, Tang Xing has always sneered at this kind of ghost trick of eliminating hatred with love, which has been practiced since cultivating literature and virtue.

Barbarians are afraid of authority and not of virtue.

The most urgent task during the Hongwu period was to destroy Yuan Zhaozong's Northern Yuan court, to prove that the destiny came, to make the world awe-inspiring, to ensure that both the north and the south were the land of Ming Dynasty, and to prevent disintegration, so we had to practice the way since Wende.

In the reign of Yongle, Emperor Taizong Wen made five expeditions to Mobei, prefectures and counties in Annan, served as the governor of Luzon, and made six voyages to the West (the seventh time was in the reign of Xuande).
Tang Xing is a rough martial artist, he doesn't care about so many convoluted reasons, although those reasons are really very reasonable.

In his opinion, carrying out His Majesty's will is Wu Fu's first priority!

If His Majesty wants to make Li Yue's arrogance completely chaotic, then Li Yue's arrogance must be in chaos, even if Uncle Ye came!

Tang Xing and Liu Pu exchanged information about the situation of Liyue's arrogance, only to find that this Liyue's arrogance was already very chaotic, similar to that of the Wa Kingdom.

Li Li established the Li Dynasty, and Li Yuanlong's death as his successor was unclear. The drama of the brothers' fighting against the wall has already been staged, and various interest groups in the court have their own ghosts.

Wu Xun, headed by Zheng, controls the military power;
Scholars headed by the Mo family controlled the government;
Landlords dominated by the Ruan family controlled the countryside.

If you want to completely mess up Li Yue's arrogance, you have to find that Mr. Key.

Undoubtedly, at this time, the key man of Li Yue's arrogance and maintenance of stability is the Duke of Yuan, Ruan Chi.

Ruan Chi is the owner of the Ruan family in Guangnan, known as Lord Ruan. The lands south of Hengshan in Hue and Guangnan are all the territory of the Ruan family, even including part of the land in Champa.

And behind the Ruan family, there is also the support of a group of Daming manor owners, who are also the main force for exporting grain.

Ruan Chi's daughter, Ruan Thiying, is the Empress Dowager Xuanci, and her grandson Li Jun (Li Bangji) is the king, with great power. After the palace change, Li Yimin killed Ruan Thiying, but left Ruan Chi behind, with the purpose of maintaining the court. Stablize.

Ruan Chi, just like the elders in the village, is responsible for mediating the conflicts between various interest groups, and can be regarded as a peacemaker.

Liu Pu pondered for a while and said, "Why don't we discuss it with Li Yimin? If there is the cooperation of the imperial army controlled by him, we will not be able to kill Yuan Guogong."

"Do you need it?" Tang Xing asked full of doubts: "Is this Thang Long City (Hanoi) very complicated? It's only 61 streets, and it's not as complicated as Craftsman City."

Liu Pu said hesitantly: "But Yuan Guogong lives in the imperial city."

The inner city of Thang Long City is divided into the Forbidden City and the Imperial City. The Forbidden City is where King Annan lives, and the Imperial City is where the royal family lives.

The square walls are towering and there are guards patrolling, so it is not so easy to enter.

Although Liu Pu was a grand lieutenant of the Li Dynasty and was a second-rank official, he didn't take matters seriously and didn't hold military power, so in Liu Pu's view, it was difficult to enter the forbidden city.

Tang Xing said with a smile: "I didn't say I wanted to sneak in, just sneak in."

"Then how to kill?" Liu Puman asked in confusion.

Tang Xing said with certainty: "Kill him in the street."

"Kill him in the street?!" Liu Pu was horrified, it's only been a few years since he left Daming, and the envoys of Daming are so irritable?
Tang Xing nodded, and couldn't help but think of the savage Yuan Bin. If Yuan Bin was here, he could just break in and chop off Ruan Chi's head.

Tang Xing clicked a position and said: "Liu Pu, you do it, we will assist secretly."

"You still have more than [-] elite soldiers following you, all of whom are direct descendants of you. This time you are responsible for intercepting, and then killing Ruan Chi in the street, bringing his head back to the Forbidden City, and throwing it in front of Li Yimin."

Liu Pu was frightened. When he fled from Guangzhou Mansion, he took nearly 300 soldiers with him. When he arrived at Shenglong City, there were only [-] people, and everyone else ran away.

Some people have left intermittently in the past few years, and now there are only two hundred personal guards left. These personal guards are his last strength.

The Great Angel even knows this!

Liu Pu gritted his teeth and said, "The place to set up an ambush is naturally within the imperial city. How will your people get in?"

Tang Xing said as a matter of course: "Go in, why not?"

Liu Pu was silent for a moment and said, "What about my people, how do they get in?"

"We'll know when the time comes." Tang Xing said again.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Liu Pu gritted his teeth and said, "How about doing it when I go to court in the morning?!"

"En." Tang Xing stood up, left Liu Pu's house, and walked into the darkness.

On the evening of the next day, Tang Xing brought two Tiqi, and a total of 23 people, including the pier Yuanhou who spied on the news and went deep into the captive camp. They put on the costumes of the imperial army of the Li Dynasty, and swaggered into the heavily guarded imperial palace. within the city.

Tang Xing and other 23 people are authentic Li Dynasty Imperial Guards, as if they were fakes!

There are 23 people, each of whom has a letter card, and it only takes three silver coins to apply for a letter card from the Imperial Army.

If you want to be a captain, you need ten silver coins.

The officer's gate is where Tang Xing is stationed today, and it will be changed again after going to court tomorrow morning.

Tang Xing was worried that Liu Pu would break the appointment, but when the city gate was about to close, Liu Pu showed up at the official gate with more than [-] people.

Liu Pu also arrived in person.

"Looking at the sunset and the western mountains, I thought you wouldn't come." Tang Xing closed the gate of the official gate, patted Liu Pu on the shoulder and said, "I thought you had arrived in the Li Dynasty, and then you became a What about cowards, after all, it’s Daming Wuxun.”

"I still have courage."

Liu Pu walked into the city gate and said in disbelief: "This official gate is the only way for Yuan Guogong Ruan Chi to go to court. The defense of this official gate has always been his confidant."

"You...you..."

Tang Xing tapped on the letter card in his hand and said: "It is said that money can make motui ghosts. Before leaving, His Majesty gave me [-] silver coins. The admiral of the city gate is indeed Ruan Chi's confidant, but It’s only three hundred silver coins, and the letter is done.”

"Xinpai, really!"

The defense of the Silver Pavilion Temple in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, only needs three silver coins to buy it.

But Tang Xing didn't say the whole thing, His Majesty gave the money to Xu Chengzong, it was activity funds, and Tang Xing "voluntarily invited Ying".

Tang Xing continued: "As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you will bring more than [-] people straight to Ruan Chi, and the rest of you, don't worry, after killing people, your people will change their clothes and leave in the chaos, and all the clothes will be given to you." people are ready."

The official system of the Li Dynasty was fully modeled on the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Yue people said: there is no need for food, and the responsibility is assigned to the real.

In addition to the title of Yuan Guogong, Ruan Chi also has the rank of Grand Master.

Does Ruan Chi deserve to die?
From the perspective of Ming Dynasty, he should be damned. In the 12th year of orthodoxy, Ruan Chi gathered more than a thousand soldiers, set up fences, occupied Pingxiang County, Guangxi, killed more than [-] people, and plundered [-] people.

Officials in Guangdong and Guangxi were filled with righteous indignation and petitioned for attack. Finally, Wang Zhen ordered: plan the chief strategy, strictly supervise the subordinates, and organize the defense to prevent the border residents from committing crimes.

This matter is over.

From Tang Xing's point of view, Ruan Chi is heinous and deserves to be punished!

Standing beside Ruan Chi was a man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an imposing appearance, with his head raised halfway, his eyes looking at the huge official gate, waiting to go up.

"Who is that young man? Standing in front of Ruan Chi?" Tang Xing asked solemnly. Although this man is still young, he already has a bit of aura.

Liu Pu said in a low voice: "This person is King Annanjia, Li Yimin's fourth younger brother, Li Sicheng, who is 16 years old this year, and is known both inside and outside as a virtuous king with extraordinary means."

"The wings are not yet full. If this person becomes the king, the Li Dynasty will be safe. Do you want to eradicate him as well?"

Tang Xing shook his head and said, "No need."

His Majesty's purpose is to cause chaos in the Li Dynasty. If Li Sicheng is killed together, wouldn't Li Yimin secure the throne and take advantage of it for nothing?

Tang Xing wanted to balance the strengths between Li Yimin and Li Sicheng, the boss and the fourth child, and let them fight each other in the court, instead of really supporting Li Yimin to secure the throne.

"it is good."

The officer's gate opened slowly with the sound of drums, Li Sicheng stood up straight, and walked into the city gate, Ruan Chi took three steps slowly, and also walked towards the city gate of the officer's gate.

Just when Li Sicheng had just walked out of the city gate, Liu Pu rushed out with more than a dozen people, and before everyone could react, he hacked Ruan Chi to death.

Liu Pu, covered in blood, stood up holding Ruan Chi's head, looked at the panic-stricken servants, and said sharply, "What are you looking at, I was ordered to eradicate the rebellious ministers and thieves! Go up to court!"

After Liu Pu finished speaking, he raised his head and walked towards Zhaoyang Hall.

The Shaoyang Hall is roughly equivalent to the Fengtian Hall of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the seat of the imperial court.

Liu Pu carried Ruan Chi's head like this, and walked into the hall step by step. No one dared to stop him. He threw Ruan Chi's head on the ground and said loudly, "My lord, the rebellious ministers have been executed!"

Li Yimin stood up abruptly, pale with shock!

He never gave the order to kill Ruan Chi!

Liu Pu actually said it was his order!
Liu Pu looked at Li Yimin coldly, behind him were a group of Li Dynasty officials.

If Li Yimin categorically denies it at this time, will he still be able to sit on the throne?
In the eyes of the officials of the Li Dynasty, Li Yimin is a typical example of killing a donkey by killing a donkey. Who would listen?

Li Yimin clenched his fists, looked at Liu Pu, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Liu Taiwei is really old, his ambition is unpaid!"

The old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles, is Cao Cao's poems. Li Yimin has studied Sinology, and also studied at the Imperial Academy in Shenglong City. He just used allusions to tell the court officials that this was Liu Pu's own decision.

But Li Yimin did not deny that it was he who gave the order, that is, he admitted that he gave the order to kill the traitor.

Seeing this, Li Sicheng's face was flushed, and he took a step forward and said loudly: "Ruan Chi is arbitrarily arbitrarily initiating quarrels and overpowering the lord, and his ministers are arbitrarily arbitrarily good at the country, against the law of heaven and law, specializing in the party, benefiting the king's heart, and blocking the way of righteousness. There are so many illegal crimes that you will not be punished even if you die!"

Ruan Chi is Li Sicheng's extremely important support force.

Especially after Li Yimin killed Ruan Chi's daughter, Queen Mother and grandson, Ruan Chi had no choice but to support him, Li Sicheng.

Now, Ruan Chi was killed, and in a way that was almost humiliating, he died at the gate of the official.

Li Sicheng really wants to get mad, but it's not the time yet, his wings are not yet fully fledged.

And the strangest thing is, when did Li Yimin and Liu Pu get together?
So Li Sicheng can only choose to temporarily hibernate, saying that Ruan Chi deserves to die and not to attack for the time being.

Li Yimin sat down slowly, looked at the many ministers, was silent for a moment and said: "Who has any objections?"

　The previous article was mistaken. Hanoi was the eastern capital at that time, and Thanh Hoa was the western capital, but it was called Thang Long Imperial City or Thang Long City. It is a very powerful person.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
