Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Qiu Shiliang, Zheng Zhu and Li Xun were like those bastards looking at mung beans, and they immediately fell in love with each other.

Zheng Zhu and Li Xun needed Qiu Shiliang to divide Wang Shoucheng's military power, and Qiu Shiliang also needed such a legitimate reason and the emperor's support.

Qiu Shiliang didn't think he could compete with Wang Shoucheng on his own. If it were just him, he might have been like this for the rest of his life, being suppressed and unable to move forward under Wang Shoucheng.

Now the two of them had found him, just like a toad entering a well or a wild donkey entering a deserted beach. They almost hit it off and came together.

On September 26, the ninth year of Taihe, Wang Shoucheng, the lieutenant of the right Shence Army, the general of the right guard, and the minister of internal affairs, Wang Shoucheng, was reassigned to the left and right Shence Army observers and commander of the Twelve Guards. In name, he was showing respect for him, but in fact, he was promoted openly and secretly. Wang Shoucheng, who lost his military power, no longer regained his former prominence and gradually became a loner.

And this is not the beginning of Li Ang's elimination of Wang Shoucheng. The point of elimination is not only elimination, but also elimination.

How can we sit back and relax if we don't get rid of Wang Shoucheng?

Before getting rid of Wang Shoucheng, Li Ang demoted Wei Yuanyu, Song Shenxi and others, and then condemned them to death in the inn; after getting rid of Wei Yuanyu and others, he ordered Chen Hongzhi to be killed in the inn.

On the ninth day of October, Li Ang sent the eunuch Li Haogu to Wang Shoucheng's residence, gave him a glass of poisonous wine, and ordered him to commit suicide.

Wang Shoucheng, who had completely lost power at this time, had no way to resist the emperor's order. He had no choice but to drink the poisonous wine and passed away with unwillingness and resentment.

Upon hearing the news of Wang Shoucheng's death, everyone in the government and the public applauded. Since then, all those who participated in the murder of Emperor Xianzong have been eliminated.

This was just the beginning. After getting rid of Wang Shoucheng's party, Li Ang quickly targeted his original ally, Qiu Shiliang.

Zheng Zhu and Li Xun discussed that after Zheng Zhu took office in Fengxiang, he would select hundreds of strong men, each carrying a white stick and a sharp ax, as personal soldiers.

The two agreed that on November 27, the ninth year of Taihe, when the imperial court buried Wang Shoucheng by the river, Zheng Zhu asked Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty for approval to lead troops to guard the funeral, so he could bring his own soldiers there. At the same time, Wenzong was invited to order all the eunuchs with dignity and honor, starting from the lieutenant of Shence Army Guards, to go to the riverside to bury Wang Shoucheng. At that time, Zheng Zhu ordered the tomb door to be closed, and ordered his soldiers to kill the eunuchs with sharp axes, killing them all.

The plan had been agreed upon, and Li Xun conspired with his comrades: "If this plan succeeds, then all the credit for killing the eunuchs will go to Zheng Zhu. It is better to let Guo Xingyu and Wang Fan go to Xingning and Hedong to take office in the name of Recruit more strong men as private soldiers, and at the same time mobilize the Jinwu soldiers commanded by Han Yue and the officials and soldiers of Yushitai and Jingzhao Mansion to take one step ahead of Zheng Zhu and kill the eunuchs in the capital, and then Zheng Zhu. "

Guo Xingyu, the governor of Pingning, Wang Fan, the governor of Hedong, General Han Yue of Zuojin Wuwei, Luo Liyan, Shaoyin of Jingzhao, and Li Xiaoben, the censor Zhongcheng, were all officials trusted by Li Xun, so he appointed them to important positions. Xun only conspired with these few people and Prime Minister Shu Yuanyu, and no other officials in the court knew anything about it.

However, it was Li Xun's behavior of greed for merit and underestimating the enemy that led to the bitter consequences of failure.

On November 21st, Li Ang came to Zichen Hall. After all the officials were stationed in line, General Han Yue of Zuojinwu Guard did not report the safety as required. He went out to report: "On the pomegranate tree in the backyard of Zuojinwu Yamen, nectar was found falling last night. This is an auspicious sign. I reported to the emperor through the eunuch guarding the palace gate last night."

After saying that, Han Yue performed a dance ceremony and bowed down again to congratulate him.

Of course Li Ang was prepared. This was the secret code he had discussed with Li Xun and others.

In the name of nectar and auspiciousness, he came to get rid of the eunuchs of Shence Army.

Prime Minister Li Xun and others also took the opportunity to lead his ministers to congratulate Li Ang, and took the opportunity with Shu Yuanyu and others to persuade Li Ang to go and watch in person so as to receive the auspiciousness bestowed by God.

Of course, Li Ang agreed without any objection. After his approval, all the officials retired one after another and lined up in Hanyuan Hall.

Just after Chen hour, Li Ang took a soft sedan out of Zichen Gate and went to Hanyuan Hall to ascend the court. He first ordered the prime minister and officials from Zhongshu and Menxia provinces to inspect the nectar in Zuo Jinwu's backyard. After a long time, the prime minister and officials from the two provinces were too late. Return late.

"Why so late?" Li Ang sat at the top and asked with a frown.

"I just went to check it with everyone, and it doesn't look like real nectar. I think it should not be announced to the world, otherwise all parts of the country will congratulate Your Majesty. How will the court deal with it then?"

"How could such a thing happen?" Li Ang asked in shock.

His acting skills were so good that even Qiu Shiliang and others were deceived by him.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ang followed the previously discussed steps and ordered Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi to take the eunuchs to the backyard of the Zuojinwu Guards Office for a closer inspection.

Qiu Shiliang and others left in a hurry without doubting his presence.

Seeing the eunuchs disappear from sight, Li Xun let out a sigh of relief, followed by a burst of excitement.

The target has been deceived into the backyard of Zuojinwu Health Office, and the matter is already half successful!

He immediately picked up his clothes, trotted over to summon Guo Xingyu and Wang Fan, and told them that His Majesty was waiting in the Hanyuan Hall and that they should go quickly to receive the order.

At this time, hundreds of private soldiers recruited by the two men were standing outside Danfeng Gate, holding weapons in hand, waiting for orders. After hearing what Li Xun said, Wang Fan was so nervous that his legs were trembling and he did not dare to go forward. Only Guo Xingyu fell down and bowed down to His Highness Hanyuan to receive the order. As a result, only the Hedong soldiers led by Guo Xingyu came, and the Xingning soldiers led by Wang Fan... failed.

When Qiu Shiliang led the eunuchs to Zuo Jinwu's backyard to inspect the manna, they found that Zuo Jinwu's general Han Yue was so nervous that he was sweating all over his body and his face was very ugly.

Of course Qiu Shiliang saw Han Yue's nervousness. He couldn't help but feel nervous and asked tentatively: "Why is the general's face so red?"

Han Yue felt nervous and wondered to himself if the hidden troops would be discovered?
Thinking of the methods of those eunuchs, his gallbladder ached, and he hesitated for a long time and said: "I feel unwell, and I was blown by the wind."

It doesn't matter if I feel guilty, my face turns yellow again.

"Then why is it yellow again?" Qiu Shiliang asked again.

"Wax to prevent cold..." Han Yue hesitated for a long time before saying.

Qiu Shi was suspicious in his conscience, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. He was suspicious and looked around. At that moment, a gust of wind blew up the tent in the courtyard, revealing a group of soldiers holding weapons. He heard the sound of weapons clashing again.

It didn't matter. It almost scared Qiu Shiliang out of his wits. He ran away without hesitation, only hating his parents for not having two legs.

There's no way to survive if you don't run, so hurry up and yo-yo.

Seeing that he was about to run away, the guard guarding the gate was about to close the door when Qiu Shiliang unexpectedly yelled at him: "I came to see the manna, what are you going to do!" Taking advantage of the guard's panic, Qiu Shiliang walked through the unsecured door and walked in. Sneaked out.

He trotted back to Hanyuan Hall and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Someone is planning to rebel!"

When Li Ang saw Qiu Shiliang and others returning along the original route, he already knew that something was wrong. He was afraid that something had happened to Han Yue. Before the storm in his mind was over, Li Xun rushed to the door of the palace and shouted: "Come to the palace to protect the emperor. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred coins!"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. When the soldiers of Jinwu Guard heard this, they immediately rushed into the palace.

"The matter is urgent, please return to the palace quickly!"

The eunuchs shouted, took out a soft sedan, and forcibly helped Li Ang, who was half-pushing, to get into the sedan. They carried the sedan and ran as fast as they could, breaking through the silk screen behind Hanyuan Hall and heading north.

How could Li Xun let them run away right now? If he ran away and the emperor was controlled by the eunuchs, there would be a bloody purge. He rushed forward to grab Li Ang's soft sedan and shouted loudly: "My report to the court has not been completed yet, your majesty cannot return to the palace!"

At this time, Jin Wubing had already boarded the Hanyuan Hall. At the same time, Luo Liyan led more than 300 soldiers on patrol in Jingzhao Mansion to rush from the east, and Li Xiaoben led more than 200 Yushitai followers to rush from the west. Together, they boarded the Hanyuan Hall and killed the eunuchs. The eunuch was bleeding profusely and shouted injustice. In an instant, more than a dozen people were killed or injured.

Li Ang's soft sedan went all the way north into Xuanzheng Gate. Li Xun was still following Li Ang, who was half pushing and half pushing, holding on to the soft sedan with one hand and shouting more urgently. Li Ang was very anxious. He had no time to care about Li Xun, and his mind was full of how to face Qiu Shiliang in a while. When he was irritated, he yelled at Li Xun. After hearing Li Ang's scolding, the eunuch Xi Zhirong took the opportunity to punch Li Xun in the chest. Li Xun was in pain, his hands loosened, and he was knocked to the ground.

"It's over...it's all over..." Li Xun looked desperately at the wide-open Xuanzheng Gate. He knew that there was nothing he could do to stop the eunuchs from taking the emperor back to the palace.

However, the despair did not last long. Li Xun saw the eunuchs carrying soft sedan chairs being pushed back by a group of armored soldiers carrying spears and thrusting their spears into their throats.

Li Xun struggled to get up, looked at the group of mighty soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh: "Whose general is this? So brave?"

Soon, he knew that the person who brought the people here was the late Emperor Li Chun, who had died a few years ago.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Li Xun knelt on the ground with a plop: "You... you are not dead?"

"Nonsense, can I come and save you even if I'm not dead?" Li Chun spat out the toothpick in his mouth on the ground, and then looked at Li Ang, who was huddled on the soft sedan.

Li Chun stretched out his arm and slapped Li Ang on the head, making a snapping sound: "How can a rat with two ends become a great weapon?"

Li Ang hesitated to speak, and turned to look at Qiu Shiliang.

"Everyone, you came back just in time!" Qiu Shiliang didn't know what was going on, so he immediately knelt down to Li Chun: "This Li Xun... Li Xun and Han Yue got together to plot a rebellion..."

"Stop talking, this good thing about Manna was planned by Li Ang and Li Xun." Li Chun pointed at Li Ang and said.

Qiu Shiliang looked at Li Ang in disbelief. He never expected that the initiator of this for a long time was actually the emperor next to him.

Frankly speaking, he really thought Han Yue and others were rebelling just now, and wanted to take the emperor back to the palace for a while. Even though the Jinwu Guards had already reached the Hanyuan Palace and he was about to lose his head, he did not forget to catch the emperor. Then what? The clown is actually me? Did the emperor want to kill the eunuch after doing this for a long time?

"Your Majesty! What's wrong with this slave?" Qiu Shiliang said tremblingly: "Since Wang Shoucheng's death, has this slave ever done anything disrespectful?"

Li Ang thought for a while and shook his head in shame: "It's not possible."

"Did that slave ever do anything beyond his mastery?" Qiu Shiliang asked again.

Li Ang still shook his head in shame: "It's not possible."

"Does that slave have any treason?" Qiu Shiliang asked again.

Seeing that Li Ang was still shaking his head, Li Xun immediately stepped forward to hold Li Ang down and said calmly: "It's unnecessary."

"It's unwarranted? I told you to do it unwarranted!" Qiu Shiliang's eyes widened, and he reached out and punched Li Xun in the chest.

Li Xun was in pain. He had just been beaten and was still recovering. Now he had a new injury. This time he almost died.

"Okay, okay." Li Chun immediately pulled the two of them away, "Why fight? The merits of right and wrong have their own merits. Neither of you can run away!"

In fact, the evaluation of Li Xun in history is obviously not very fair. Although Li Xun is indeed suspected of taking credit, in fact the failure of the Manna Revolution was not Li Xun's fault. He only accounted for about 15% at most. If Li Ang could stand firmly next to Li Xun at that time, it is still unclear who will win. At least Li Xun's side will never fail.

However, historical evaluations are always reserved for the emperor, and it is impossible to completely throw the blame to Li Ang. Then Li Xun became the scapegoat for Li Ang's reputation. Naturally, he was left to shoulder the blame.

Li Ang is a person...more than enough to maintain his achievements, but not enough to develop. His indecision is even more extreme than Xiang Yu's, and he has no understanding of others. He is often suspicious of virtuous ministers; he is often accommodating of mediocre ministers; he is always willing to experiment with sycophants. I have no opinion at all and can easily be taken advantage of by villains. The main responsibility for the failure of the Manna Change actually lies with him, Li Ang.

"You kid, you deserve to be beaten!" Li Chun held up his belt, satisfying his ancestor's addiction.

Before the belt could be swung down, Li Xiaosan slapped the belt on his buttocks, and when he pulled it out, Tom screamed.

"Do you have the right to speak?" Li Xiaosan snorted twice and stretched his belt: "What seniority? Grandpa Taizong hasn't spoken yet!"

"Ah... Grandpa Taizong." Li Chun rubbed his butt and immediately came to Li Shimin's side with a low eyebrow: "Please, please reprimand this fool..."

There is no way, the older generation is crushing others to death... Filial piety in this day and age is as righteous as heaven and earth. Besides, this group of Anxi troops belong to Li Xiaosan, and the situation is stronger than others. No matter what happens, the ancestors must go first... Let the ancestors speak first.

He immediately stepped forward, brought a chair and placed it behind Li Shimin.

Li Ang took a breath dejectedly, knowing that he would be scolded soon.
