The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 231

"Your Majesty must not—"

In the Huazhou Palace, the guard who dragged out the messenger was stopped, and a figure hurried out, stood in the middle and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is so angry that he lost his inch."

"Qin Huaimian, I know you have an old relationship with Geng Qing, kill his messenger, you don't like it, jump out in a hurry!!"

The capital was seized, and he himself was kicked out of the imperial palace, and fled to Huazhou. As an emperor, Li Ye had never felt so embarrassed. In front of him, with a hysterical roar, he knocked down a bronze lamppost next to him.

"Come here, pull him down together, and take off his official robe!"

"His Majesty!"

At this time, all the Chinese and military personnel in the palace came out, not because they spoke for Qin Huaimian, but for themselves. If the emperor is not calm at this time and wants to kill the ministers who persuaded him, then the country will not be far from subjugation. The country is gone. Let them stay What is the use of these civil and martial arts?
To protect Qin Huaimian is to protect themselves at this moment, and they naturally understand this truth.

"Aren't you going to rebel? Is the emperor still in your eyes?!"

Li Ye angrily pushed and pushed the two closest people, their official robes were pulled and skewed, the latter only straightened up, and then stood back to their original positions, and the emperor still vented his emotions. After waiting for a long time, Qin Huaimian finally spoke, his voice was flat.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are admonishing Your Majesty, all for my sake."

The emperor who was walking in the crowd laughed back angrily, and pointed at the bowed figure in the middle with his fingers, "Okay, Qin Qing is selfless and will not intercede for old friends, okay! I will listen to the messenger today, what else can I say?" , bring people in—”

The courier who has been left outside the door suddenly let out a breath. Dare to be a courier is usually courageous and not afraid of death, but if he really wants to be killed, he is also afraid in his heart. Right now, he swallowed his saliva and re-entered, thinking in his mind Before leaving, Geng Shaoyin plucked up his courage and arched his hands towards the emperor Li Ye who was going back to the dragon case.

"Your Majesty, what my family Shaoyin wanted to say was written in the letter, but before leaving, Shaoyin had told him that if the emperor refused, he would..."

When the words came here he hesitated, Li Ye waited for a moment, then leaned forward impatiently, and punched the table.

"What is he?"

"Shao Yin said, if Your Majesty refuses." The messenger gritted his teeth, and spit out the last half of the words, so surprised that Wen Wu, and Li Ye who was behind the dragon case, almost burst into eye sockets.

"If Your Majesty refuses, Shao Yin will have someone dig the imperial tomb, dig up the coffin and burn the corpse, and then burn Chang'an and the imperial palace to the ground. I won't leave it to you."

"Rebellious officials and thieves." "Simply thugs!"

"Come on!"

"Is this to imitate Dong Zhai at the end of the Han Dynasty?"

The court hall suddenly became buzzing, a group of civil and military people shouted in disorder, and the emperor above even swept the pen and ink on the dragon table away, crackling and splashing all over the ground.

"Geng Qing, Li Jiji, and Zhao Zhouyi, if I don't kill them, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart—"

Li Ye was so angry that his face was flushed, and he leaned on the table and his body was on the verge of falling. He felt dizzy for a while, and after cursing a few words, he finally stopped. He didn't dare to bet. What is the difference between the greatest shame in the past century and the rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming who went to Chang'an to burn, kill and loot?

"I am."

Thinking of such a picture, Li Ye gasped heavily, and the anger that was originally extremely angry was forced back to his heart. He glanced at the surrounding civil and martial arts, and his tone finally eased, "I am the ancestor of the Great Tang Dynasty!" Trick! Don't care about gains and losses with Li Jiji and his gang of rebels. If they want something good, I will give it to them!"

"Purpose!"

"After staying in Longzhou, Li Jiji served as the Jiedu Envoy of Longyou and concurrently as the Jiedu Envoy of Fengxiang. He was named King Qi and allowed to open his residence!"

"Jiedu envoy Guanjun envoy Zhao Zhouyi was promoted as Fengxiang's defense envoy, Fu Daozhao was promoted as Longyou's defense envoy, Geng Gengqing's official worship minister order, Qi Wangfu's military recorder, and Longzhou governor!"

In the northwest, the military and government were completely separated, and even the post of Shang Shuling was able to extend his hand to the court. It can be seen that part of the reason for Li Ye's reluctance, he could see clearly.

But what can be done, the imperial mausoleum and Chang'an are his weaknesses. If the imperial mausoleum is dug up and the power of heaven falls to the ground, if Chang'an and the imperial palace are burned down, there will be no foundation. The dignified son of heaven really lived under the fence and was held hostage.

As soon as the decree came out, no one in the court objected, and they could only watch helplessly as the emperor stamped the imperial decree with trembling hands holding a seal, and then sent the imperial decree to Chang'an while passing it on to the states.

Holding the imperial decree, the messenger was so excited that he took down Chang'an and forced the emperor to leave. On the contrary, he promoted him to a noble position and washed away his identity as a traitor. Shao Yin dared to do this.

He stepped out of the palace gate and looked back at the somewhat distraught emperor, finally the majestic emperor was not so tall in his eyes.

"Humble post, I wish your Majesty can return to Chang'an!" The messenger bowed and bowed while holding the imperial decree, then turned and strode away.

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair and watched the man leave with a dull expression. Some people wanted to stop him, but he waved them back weakly. Even though he lost face, at least Chang'an and the imperial mausoleum were saved.

Soon, there was news that Longyou soldiers and horses had withdrawn from Chang'an, and Huazhou also set a schedule for the emperor to move back to Chang'an. On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Ye secretly drove into the Mingchun Gate on the imperial chariot.

The sky was dark, and there were few pedestrians passing by on the street. He sat in the carriage with a serious expression, and returned to Chang'an City on the last day of the new year. The road outside was quiet, and the houses were not destroyed by the bandits. trace.

In the night sky, the sound of fireworks went up, and countless fireworks exploded in the darkness, shining into the curtain of the car, illuminating his face, the emperor stopped, Li Ye was helped out of the car, and stood on the chariot , looking at the lights of different colors constantly flashing.

The previous collision was like the explosion of fireworks.

"I will never be discouraged or compromise. After this fireworks, I will train a new army again. I still have Shu as my backing, and the prosperous Chang'an, so why not start over—"

"I want to take back the lost mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty inch by inch, and put the albums of mountains, rivers and rivers in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the past generations to comfort their spirits!"

Fireworks scattered in the bottom of his eyes, he said softly.

The night is gradually passing, the eastern sky is the color of fish maw, and the wilderness has been quiet all night, and the woods have the sound of snow falling.

The tents were disassembled and the figures wrapped in thick clothes swept away the snow from the parked carts, led the poor horses and donkeys to tie the ropes, and continued on their way in a long line.

It is not far from Fengxiang.

Geng Qing was led by the soldiers on horseback, and walked in the middle of the team, looking at the information that was sent in the middle of the night and hadn't been read in time.

In the news, it was written about Li Ye's every move when he returned to the city. He didn't find any sign of mobilizing the Longwu Army to pursue him, but he didn't care whether the other party would send troops to chase after him. The Shence Army only had so few people. , that emperor could not make such a decisive decision.

"Don't worry about it, let him clean up the mess by himself. After the beginning of spring, he will be busy, so he might be seriously ill."

Geng Qing smiled, and threw the news to the snow. This battle, the victory of entering Chang'an, turned into something substantial, his identity was re-washed, and he also got a lot of soldiers, armor weapons, and a large number of soldiers. Food and grass, these things are very precious to the northwest area.

After the beginning of spring, he will be busy.

Fortunately, the team sent to the Northland had already set off two days ago, and maybe next summer, they would be able to reunite with their mother and Qiaoniang.

"Ji Chang, Wang Jian of Shu, will he really listen to what Yang Fugong and others say?" Jiuyu rode on another horse, walking side by side with Geng Qing, leaving a series of hoofprints in the snow.

How can someone who can take down Western Sichuan be so foolish and listen to deceptive words?

He Jiuyu didn't believe it.

"When did you bet with me, when did you win?" Geng Qing held the rein, his slender body was tall and straight, and he became more and more heroic. He looked at Geng Nian who opened the curtain and waved at him in the slow-moving carriage ahead, and Bai Yunxiang and Geng Qing said with a smile: "Since we invaded Chang'an and forced the emperor away, the great power of Tang Tianwei has ceased to exist. The Mingjun who originally placed hope in it fell into the eyes of these heroes, and he is no different from ordinary people. You say this What would a group of unruly people do?"

Jiuyu didn't speak, and the guards and soldiers listening around fell silent, messy and long footprints and hoofprints slowly spread westward with the convoy.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, news of rebellion came from Shu.

Xichuan Jiedu made Wang Jian dissatisfied with the title of King Langya, and sent troops to Xingyuan, and Dongchuan fell into chaos.
