Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!
Chapter 204 The chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin felt like he had heard it before, but he didn't have much impression of it.
"Just tell me briefly."
"Li Keyong, courtesy name Yisheng, was originally surnamed Zhuxie, but was later given the surname Li. He was from the Shatuo tribe. He once led an army to suppress Huang Chao, and later rescued Emperor Zhaozong of Tang from the hands of others."
Therefore, not only did the Later Tang Dynasty have little relationship with the Li family, the emperor was not even Han Chinese.
Li Shimin felt disappointed and said, "Let's go check out the situation over there first."
……
AD 908
The fifth year of Tianyou
Caozhou
The city was decorated with lights and red lanterns hung high, and smiles appeared on people's faces.
And a certain mansion was very quiet. There were many soldiers guarding the yard, but no one cared that today was the beginning of the year.
thump.
The wine jug was thrown into the fish pond, and the person sitting in the pavilion looked sad.
As the sky gradually darkened, the eunuch standing by bowed perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, it's late, it's time to go back."
Emperor Ai of Tang, Li Yu, glared at him unhappily, "How dare you, a eunuch, meddle in my affairs?"
"Your Majesty, if you stay any longer, they will come to check." The eunuch's expression remained unchanged, but his words were chilling.
Li Yu suddenly became quiet and stood up, "Let's go, it's getting late."
The eunuch following behind him had a sneer in his eyes.
"Okay, you can go out now." After entering the room, Li Yu impatiently drove the eunuch away.
The eunuch retreated outside the door and stood guard, with two guards standing on his left and right.
Thinking of his current situation, Li Yu felt annoyed but didn't dare to say anything more.
He grabbed the china on the table and tried to throw it to the ground.
A disgusted voice came from behind, "Incompetent rage."
Li Yu looked up and subconsciously wanted to shout.
"No, no, no! We are from the Super Time and Space Company. I am Xiao Ran, the president of the head office, and this is your ancestor, Emperor Taizong of Tang." Xiao Ran hurriedly whispered to stop them.
Li Shimin looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Why is it so simple?"
"This is not the imperial palace, but the residence of Zhu Quanzhong's deceased confidant Shi Shucong."
Upon hearing that it was his own ancestor, Li Yu hesitated for a moment and then fell to his knees.
"Please, ancestor, save our Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yu's quick and decisive action actually made Xiao Ran stunned. He asked curiously, "You didn't do anything before you abdicated. Why do you suddenly have such ambitions now?"
"Mr. Xiao, after I ascended the throne, I had no power and was trapped in the palace. Zhu Quanzhong was in control of the court, so how could I dare to have any ambitions?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly and continued, "I thought I would have a brief opportunity to make plans after the abdication, but I didn't expect that I would be in a different cage. In addition to Zhu Quanzhong's constant watch, there are also countless jackals, tigers and leopards."
"It's still quite presentable." Li Shimin looked him up and down and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Ran asked with a smile, "Your desire is to take back the world, so are you afraid of death?"
Judging from the current situation in the world, if you want to seize the world, you will inevitably shed blood.
Given Li Yu's courage, Xiao Ran suspected that he would change his mind halfway.
Seeing Li Yu's hesitation, Li Shimin kicked him with a fierce look in his eyes, "You can't even answer such a simple question. I think you might as well commit suicide."
Li Yu said in a panic, "Ancestor, if I die, there will be no one to rule the world even if we take it back. I just..." What he said really made sense.
Li Shimin remembered what had been said before, that all the other descendants of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang were killed.
There was silence for a moment, Xiao Ran cleared his throat, "Sit down and relax first."
After Li Shimin and Xiao Ran sat down, Li Yu did not dare to stand up.
Li Shimin deliberately ignored Li Yu and asked casually, "Is there anyone else living in this mansion?"
"No."
Xiao Ran said, "Speaking of which, Shi Shucong was completely treated by Zhu Quanzhong as a chess piece that could be discarded at any time."
"During the Zhonghe period of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Shucong volunteered to be a cavalryman. He initially served under Pang Shigu, a trusted general of Zhu Quanzhong. Zhu Quanzhong once fought against the Huang Chao uprising army. Shi Shucong fought bravely and Zhu Quanzhong valued him very much. In the second year of Tianfu of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Shucong besieged Li Keyong with great force and finally approached Taiyuan. Shucong led his army out of Shihui Pass and went straight to the city of Jinyang. Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan dug a secret passage to attack Shi Shucong at night. Later, the army ran out of food and soldiers were sick. He followed Zhu Quanzhong's order to retreat. This battle is called the Battle of Jinyang in the late Tang Dynasty."
"Many years later, in the first year of Tianyou, Zhu Quanzhong forced Emperor Zhaozong of Tang to move the capital to Luoyang, and Shi Shucong guarded Luoyang. Later, he ordered Zhu Yougong, Shi Shucong and others to kill Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. But afterwards, Zhu Quanzhong demoted Shi Shucong on the grounds that he neglected military and political affairs, and soon sentenced Shi Shucong to death."
"It is precisely because of his death that Shi Shucong's residence has now become the residence of Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu."
"A bit pitiful." Li Shimin's gaze returned to Li Yu.
"If you want to ascend the throne alive, then show some courage and let me see your determination."
Although he was annoyed that the Tang Dynasty was taken away by someone else, Li Shimin did not want to support a useless emperor to rule the country.
If Li Yu doesn't have any courage at all, he should cancel the order as soon as possible.
Li Yu gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily, "I will let you see my determination!"
He didn't want to be trapped here for the rest of his life, and he knew in his heart that this might be his only chance.
Since there is no way out, he should give it a try.
Standing up suddenly, Li Yu walked towards the door.
Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin and asked curiously, "If he can't do it, you really don't plan to take the order?"
"Every dynasty will collapse. If you support useless descendants, do you think I should come here to guard them every day? It's better to kill them from the beginning." With a cold snort, Li Shimin said bluntly.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "That's right. The only person that the Tang Dynasty can find to inherit the throne is Li Yu. If he can't do it, it will be in vain to take back the world."
There was a noise outside the door, and a shrill voice asked in panic, "Your Majesty! What are you doing?"
The next moment, there was no sound. Not long after, Li Yu came in with three heads in his hands. He knelt on the ground again and said, "Grandfather, as a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family, even though I am unarmed, I have never disgraced the bloodline of the Li family!"
"I beg you, ancestor, to help me take back the world!"
It looked much more interesting than before. Xiao Ran didn't say anything and waited for Li Shimin to make a decision.
Li Shimin strode up to Li Yu and asked in a cold voice, "How will you take back the world?"
"Please give me some advice, ancestor." Knowing that he had passed the first hurdle, Li Yu's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Get up, and follow me out of here first."
Xiao Ran stepped forward and teased, "It looks like you have to do it yourself."
"My descendants can't do that. As an ancestor, I have to teach the younger generation."
That night, the news of the disappearance of Emperor Ai of Tang, Li Yu, spread from Caozhou, and the jackals, tigers and leopards who were watching secretly had their own thoughts.
When Xiao Ran returned home, he suddenly remembered the date of Li Keyong's death and immediately told Li Shimin, "If you want to take back the world, you must contact Li Keyong as soon as possible. He can be used, but it may be a bit troublesome if you go too late."
"He's dying." (End of chapter)
