I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

"Oh, that's fine, Old Xu."

Shan Xiongxin stepped forward and patted Xu Maogong on the shoulder, "I don't even dare to say it directly... eh?"

He knew that Xu Maogong was a scholar, so he didn't use much force, but found that Xu Maogong fell down like noodles that had been boiled in boiling water for half an hour, and sat on the ground with his butt.

“Uh…hahahahahaha!”

The group of outlaw brothers first looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and then burst into loud laughter.

"Oh, Old Xu, Old Xu, I thought you were really not afraid, but you, hahahahaha!" Shan Xiongxin laughed so hard that he was out of breath and could not speak clearly. He could only laugh.

"Stop talking nonsense and help me up quickly. I'm going to use your forehead to hit this 300-jin hammer. Try to catch it and see if you're afraid." Xu Maogong was covered in cold sweat, and his back was soaked.

A hammer weighing three hundred pounds. How strong was Pei Yuanqing? When he swung the hammer, the force must have been several thousand or even tens of thousands of pounds. It was good enough for Xu Maogong, a scholar, to be able to hold on and not be blown down by the wind.

Not to mention the current Xu Maogong, even before his reincarnation, the Right Prime Minister couldn't withstand Nezha.

"You've got to rely on Old Brother Xu. How dare you use your head to block his big hammer?" Wang Junke asked as he helped Xu Maogong up.

"Let's gamble. What else can we do? If we can't control him, then he can control us. We may not be beaten to death by him one by one, but it is conceivable that Wagang will be in chaos in the future, falling apart and finally being defeated and destroyed one by one. It is a foregone conclusion."

Xu Maogong sighed. Being a civil official was not that easy. "So, we can only gamble our lives with him. He is a desperado. Let him know that we are even more ruthless desperadoes and we are on the same side with him. Only in this way can we stabilize him and make the Pei family truly join our Wagang."

"Humph, our Wagang?" Wang Bodang snorted coldly, looking at the direction where Li Mi left and said, "We still don't know whose Wagang it is."

"The Li family's Wagang!" Xie Yingdeng said in the same cold tone, "Our emperor has not yet accomplished his great cause, but he is already thinking about how we old men might weaken his authority. His Wagang is good, but it is also our Wagang. We supported him to become the emperor, so why is he thinking about taking away our military power and driving us out?"

"Driving us out is considered a light punishment. I think he just wants to kill us in Wagang." You Junda also expressed dissatisfaction.

"Hey, brothers, what are you talking about?" The honest man Wang Junke disagreed, "He is the emperor, of course it is his Wagang, there is no doubt about that."

Shan Xiongxin also stood up and said: "My fellow brothers, I have to criticize you on this point. Since you have already supported Li Mi as the emperor, you must naturally respect his authority.

We are already people who are going to build a country, but you are still like the bandits in the green forest strongholds, calling everyone you meet brothers and not distinguishing between superiors and subordinates. This is indeed inappropriate.

There is no second commander in the army, and no second ruler in the court. If you behave like this, how can the emperor maintain his dignity and prestige? "

"Second brother Shan!" Wang Bodang wanted to say something, but Shan Xiongxin stopped him with his hand. "Hey, brother, no need to say more. The court has its own plan. As for Li Mi's thoughts, I will find a way to talk to him."

"I advise you not to talk about it." Xu Maogong suddenly said, "Li Mi has never been an emperor. His only role model for an emperor is Yang Guang.

He wants to have the final say and control the power of life and death of all the important officials and generals in the court. He wants to kill us but is afraid that we can't do it. In his mind, this is already the way for us to die. How dare you advise him?"

"Is it really that serious?" Shan Xiongxin was stunned, but he had no doubt about Xu Maogong's intelligence. Finally, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Li Mi, a man who rebelled against Yang Guang, would eventually set his goal to become someone like Yang Guang. It's really sad and ironic."

"So what should we do? Prepare to run away? Or find an opportunity to kill Li Mi?" Xie Yingdeng obviously preferred a more direct approach.

"Li Mi cannot be killed. The current Wagang is a banner against the tyrant Yang Guang. He cannot fall, at least not at the hands of his own people. Even if he is killed by Yang Guang, he can inspire future generations. If he is killed by our own internal strife, then the fantasy will really be gone."

Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said, "Even if the king is unjust, the minister cannot be disloyal. I'd better find a chance to persuade him. If that doesn't work, I'll just sideline him and make him a puppet."

At the same time, Li Mi was furious in the harem and smashed everything that could be smashed.

"Fuck you, traitors, every one of them is a fucking traitor!"

Li Mi's roar echoed in the deep palace, and the palace maids were so scared that they dared not approach.

"I am the emperor, I am the emperor! How dare they, a bunch of traitors, rebel against me! How dare they rebel against me!" Li Mi slapped the table in anger. However, the table was made of fine sandalwood and it hurt his hand so much that he jumped up and jumped around holding his hands.

"Okay, okay. Pei Yuanqing ignored me, Xu Maogong dared to speak for me, and that Shan Xiongxin still thinks he is the boss, pretending to be in charge every day. Where does he put me, the emperor? A bunch of traitors!"

It is ironic that Li Mi, who became famous as a rebel, actually started cursing rebels in the center of the rebel force, Wagang.

All we can say is that feudal monarchy is just a cycle.

"I want to kill them, how can I kill them!"

"Your Majesty, don't kill him yet. Something happened." Shan Xiongxin's voice came from outside the door.

"Uh, ah, General Shan." Li Mi was quite embarrassed. After all, he had never been a tyrant. His mentality was still between a dog emperor and a normal person. He was a little embarrassed to be caught saying bad things about others behind their backs. "What's the matter?"

"The Longxi Li family has rebelled."

Shan Xiongxin came to advise Li Mi, and he didn't care whether Li Mi liked to listen or not, but he felt that he had to fulfill his duty as a subject. As a result, he ran into the messenger on his way.

The Li family of Longxi rebelled.

Li Yuan took the lead in the uprising and took his four sons with him to rebel against Yang Tang. He wrote a thousand-word manifesto, listing all the great evil deeds of Yu Wenzhi. He argued that Yu Wenzhi's crimes were so heinous that heaven and earth could not tolerate him, so the Li family of Longxi raised an army to purge the emperor.

Since such a huge thing had happened, Shan Xiongxin naturally would not say anything nonsense like "you have to be nicer to us" or "we have to distribute status properly". He would just report the urgent military intelligence first.

"What?" Li Mi was now able to distinguish the important from the unimportant. He put aside his embarrassment and resentment, opened the door, let Shan Xiongxin enter the inner room, and spread out the map. "Tell me about their route of advance."

Shan Xiongxin was very pleased to see that Li Mi had a map in his bedroom. He felt that Li Mi was a man of action, so he suppressed his rebellious thoughts and explained to Li Mi. "Li Yuan has rebelled?" Yang Jian and a group of old brothers pointed at the map and analyzed, "What a fierce offensive. They marched from Gansu and Longnan and took Zhangye directly. Half of the western part of China is already theirs."

Longxi.

Li Yuan sat on his tall horse, looking at the large area of ​​territory that he had conquered in a short period of time. He drew a circle with his whip and laughed, "I didn't expect that these imperial troops and the rebel kings were all cowards. If I had known this, I would have rebelled long ago."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin standing next to him looked disdainful.

Before the uprising, Li Yuan was so worried that he couldn't sleep for several nights. It was the two of them who persuaded him earnestly, saying that Yang Guang, the dog emperor, could not be protected. Even though Yuwen Chengdu had been sent out now, it was a sign that Yang Guang had completely lost power and the whole world was against Yang Tang.

Li Shimin said at the time, "Dad, if you don't rebel now, we will be regarded as Yang Guang's die-hard royalists and attacked by those rebels. When they come to attack us, who do you think we should fight, the imperial court or the rebels?

If we rebel again after this, we will be hated by both sides. We are fighting alone, facing two sides alone. The pressure is too great and we cannot bear it."

After hearing this, Li Yuan gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and made up his mind to rebel.

Of course, he was still very smart and possessed the usual cunning of aristocratic families. Unlike other rebels who directly raised the banner of "punishing the tyrant" or "killing Emperor Yang", his banner was "clearing the court".

He issued a thousand-word manifesto, which did not mention anything about Yang Guang's actions, but was full of criticism of Yu Wenzhi. He listed all the twelve major crimes of Yu Wenzhi, and could not avoid saying that Yang Guang was deceived by Yu Wenzhi.

In a nutshell, the target was directly pointed at Yuwen Huaji and Yuwen Chengdu.

Of course, this is not wrong. After all, the power of speech in the world is in the hands of the aristocratic families. The common people died, and the aristocratic families would not care whether the peasants died or lived, or even how many died.

But it is an indisputable fact that Yuwen Chengdu smashed the heads of a group of civil officials from aristocratic families with a phoenix-wing gilded halberd in the palace. Now, in the rumors spread all over the country and in the historical records prepared for future generations to be written into history books, Yuwen Chengdu has become a bad guy who is unforgivable and deserves to be put to death.

It was as if all the evil in the world was done by him, Yuwen Chengdu, alone.

This is also normal. In the minds of the masters, those who dare to use force to kill the masters are naturally the biggest villains in the world. As for the fact that thousands of ordinary civilians die every year under the rule of their masters, it is even the merit of these masters.

This is what double-standard officials are like. No matter who dies, it is not unjust.

However, Li Yuan raised this banner to clearly tell all the aristocratic families, "I stand with you." If you want to surrender, surrender to me. If you surrender to those peasants, you may be killed by them.

Another advantage of this statement is that even if it fails later, I can still use the excuse that I wanted to kill Yu Wenzhi, and perhaps Yang Guang will spare my life for the sake of our cousin.

As expected, Li Yuan's strategy was very successful. With Li Yuanba's bug force, in just over half a month, he had cleared out all the rebel forces in the Gansu-Longnan area and the army sent by the imperial court to suppress them.

The aristocratic families saw that Li Yuan had a chance and was a talented person who could accomplish great things.

As a result, those nearby clans who had no intention of rebelling and only wanted to be a thousand-year-old family also surrendered to Li Yuan one by one. With their surrender, the imperial guards of the city and pass would naturally not listen to Yang Guang, and they also followed Li Yuan to surrender the city.

Just like that, in a short period of time, the entire western region was under the control of the Li family. The power of the Li family instantly ranked among the top three among the rebel kings.

This is the foundation and terror of the aristocratic family.

"But we are moving so fast that it won't be long before we can be crowned emperor. Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Jian, was crowned emperor after a general under him put on a yellow robe. It won't be long before I am crowned emperor. What name should we give our country?"

Li Yuan had already begun to worry about becoming emperor in the future.

All we can say is that with Li Yuanba by your side, everyone will be confident.

"Dad, if we want to call it the Golden Peng Buddhist Kingdom, I think it's a good idea!" Li Yuanba said with a silly grin while swinging a hammer.

"How did such a name come out?" Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanba curiously.

"Ah, I can't reach it. I just feel that this name is nice, right? It seems that when I mention this name, my whole body is filled with strength." Li Yuanba said, and he deliberately raised the hammer to show his strength.

"Go and have fun." Li Yuan rolled his eyes almost to the sky. He knew that he could not count on his foolish son. He waved his whip, pointed forward, and said proudly: "Let's go east!"

"Li Yuan is rebelling."

At the same time, Yang Jian was also holding an emergency meeting.

"The noble families have already personally intervened, it's time for us to reveal our identities."

Yang Jian held a war meeting with a group of old brothers, "Let's do this. I will lead 70% of the troops and use the name of clearing the court and rectifying the court like Li Yuan did. I will use the righteous title of the emperor emeritus to gather heroes and lead the way.

After we raise the banner of "The Emperor Retired to Clear the Court", both the rebel troops and the imperial court troops will be attracted by our firepower. Then we can separate 30% of our elite troops and secretly form an anti-king force, gather soldiers and generals to rebel, cooperate internally and externally, and take over the world."

"Well said!" Yang Lin, Yang Yichen, Yu Juluo, Wu Jianzhang, Qiu Rui and others first expressed their high recognition and appreciation for Yang Jian's plan, and then asked: "Then who should be the leader of this group of rebels?"

"Well, this..." Yang Jian was speechless.

The group of old brothers around him were all founding generals of the Yang Tang Dynasty and heroes of the founding of the country. Their reputations and looks were well known to the people. If he really said that he led the troops to purge the court and let Yang Lin lead people to rebel, no one would believe it.

Their own plans would be discovered in an instant, and the "anti-bandit" forces that were separated would be attacked by everyone's united efforts. Regardless of whether the "anti-bandit" forces could survive, the meaning of separating in the first place had already disappeared.

But among the young people, who can stand on their own? (End of this chapter)
