Tiantang

Chapter 397

Chapter 405
Li Heng fainted from anger.

But in times of crisis, Li Yu, Li Tan and some courtiers could no longer take care of him.On the same day, a shocking news came out of the palace: Emperor Li Heng issued an edict of sin and abdication, to the effect that during his reign, rebellions were frequent, the country was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits. The country of the Tang Dynasty is eternal, and it has been passed on for thousands of years. The throne is specially passed on to Li Yu, the king of Chu, and so on.

Less than two years after Li Heng became emperor, he sadly abdicated as the Supreme Emperor.Li Yu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor that day, but he did not hold a grand enthronement ceremony, but just summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to hold a hasty ceremony.

On the night of Li Yu's accession to the throne, he changed his reign name to Baoying, and issued several edicts one after another.

One is to order the vassals and towns all over the world to send troops to serve the king and rush to help Chang'an.

The second is to order Chang'an soldiers and civilians and Guanzhong soldiers and horses to defend Chang'an to the death, saying that they will live and die with Chang'an.

The third is to enfeoff Li Tan, the king of Jianning, as the emperor's younger brother, king Ding, and the general of the world's soldiers and horses.Canonized Li Guangbi as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and Ge Shuhan as the general manager of the Guanzhong march and the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Gongsun Liang, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, dismissed his prime minister and became the governor of Henan.Pei Mian remained in office, and Yang Guozhong remained in office.

In fact, it's not that Li Yu doesn't want to move Yang Guozhong, but at this time, if he moves Yang Guozhong, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, and he can't bear this price.

The fourth is to reprimand the Uighur Khan Guli Pei Luo for leading an army into the Tang Dynasty without authorization, which is really treasonous, and ordered him to withdraw his troops from the east of the river immediately, otherwise the imperial court's army would destroy the entire Uighur country, and his words were very severe.

The most interesting thing is the last edict.Li Yu publicly evaded Zhang Xuan's opposition to the Tang Dynasty, and issued an imperial edict to confer Zhang Xuan the title of Yongwang, Grand Master, Governor of Longshuo, and Governor of Fanyang.

When the new emperor took office, he made a gesture of striving for reform and rectification. For a while, the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an seemed to be refreshed, sweeping away the past decline and panic.

……

……

Jingzhou, Geshuhan camp.

After the new emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and related edicts were issued, Ge Shuhan sent away the eunuchs and his party who came to announce the edict from the palace, and returned to the big tent with a solemn face.

The movement of the imperial court in the capital surprised Ge Shuhan, but what if the emperor changed? Can it change the fate of the Tang Dynasty?Ge Shuhan actually didn't hold out much hope.

Ge Shuhan looked around at the generals, his eyes flickered and he sighed, "Generals, the emperor ordered me to go straight to Chang'an to protect the emperor, what do you think?"

Asina went out and clasped his fists and said, "Commander Geshu, the new emperor suddenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which makes people astonished. However, our army should fight against the rebellion, and we should enter the pass to attack Tongguan, and strive to win Tongguan in order to keep Chang'an. If we stick to Chang'an A city doesn’t mean much.”

Ge Shuhan looked at Asina and smiled, "Li Guangbi is recruiting troops in Guanzhong. The emperor's intention is to leave the attack on Tongguan to Li Guangbi. As for our army, we will go straight to Chang'an to be escorted by King Qin."

Asina frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Marshal, please forgive me for being blunt."

"Then Li Guangbi was originally a general under Zhang Xuan's subordinates. He was far inferior to the general in terms of qualifications and prestige. However, the emperor handed over the power of commanding the army to Li Guangbi, and let the general be bound in Chang'an city—what is Li Guangbi doing?" How can De be above the commander in chief?"

"Li Guangbi is difficult to defeat Zhang Xuan. If he wants to compete with Zhang Xuan's army, he still needs to come forward. We are not satisfied with the court's arrangement!" Asna's words came out, and all the generals under Ge Shuhan's bid began to complain about Ge Shuhan , extremely dissatisfied.

Seeing the general's righteous indignation, a strange smile secretly appeared on the corner of Asina's mouth.

Few people know that Zhang Xuan was kind to Asina and his son in the past, but now Asina has Zhang Xuan's heart.This opening also has the meaning of provocation.

Ge Shuhan's expression changed for a moment, and he suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Don't talk too much, the imperial court has its own opinions, and we, as subjects, eat the king's salary, and obey the imperial edict! No more talking nonsense , Disrespect to His Majesty, act as a military law!"

Ge Shuhan suddenly got up and walked away.

In fact, Ge Shuhan sighed secretly, "No matter who leads the army or who is in power, Zhang Xuan can't stop Zhang Xuan from changing his dynasty. At this time, what's the point of worrying about these things."

In Ge Shuhan's view, Zhang Xuan controls nearly 20 soldiers and horses, and has [-] Huihe troops to help in the battle. In addition, he has captured Henan and Fanyang and gathered countless soldiers. With such power, the overthrow of the Tang Dynasty has already It was something that was just around the corner, not to mention him and Li Guangbi, even if a famous general like Wang Zhongsi was resurrected, there was nothing he could do.

The 4 troops of Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo alone are enough to make the court drink a pot.If Guli Pei Luo leads an army to attack Guanzhong, can the [-] or [-] people under Ge Shuhan's men be able to stop it?
On the second day, Ge Shuhan, who was planning to enter Guanzhong to attack Tongguan, diverted to Chang'an without mentioning it.

……

……

Yizhou.Fanyang Shi Siming was already a frightened bird. Although he had tens of thousands of soldiers, Fanyang was already an isolated city surrounded by Zhang Xuan's army, and Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo's [-] troops marched into Hedong and blocked Shi Siming directly. The possibility of fleeing to the east of the river.

Shi Siming was desperate and anxious, so he sent someone to beg for surrender.

handsome hall.

After Zhang Xuan sat down on the commander-in-chief's case, he stared at the general Wu Lingxun who was sent by Shi Siming to beg for surrender, and smiled coldly, "Shi Siming had proposed to surrender to the commander twice before, but he backed down twice. Such a capricious villain, let the commander-in-chief How can you trust his sincerity?"

Wu Lingxun bowed his head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "This time Fan Yang surrendered with all his heart, and he has no other intentions. Please learn from me!"

"Shi Siming is trapped in defending Fan Yang. When my commander arrives, Fan Yang will become a fan. At this time, it doesn't matter whether Shi Siming surrenders or not. However, out of my sympathy for Fan Yang's army and people, if Shi Siming can get out of the city by himself I apologize before the account, and I can agree to Fan Yang's surrender. Go ahead and tell Shi Siming that the commander gave him a chance before, but he missed it. This time, the commander can give him another chance. If he dies again If you don't repent, you will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Xuan's voice was cold and deep, echoing in the hall for a long time.

Wu Lingxun didn't dare to say any more, and walked away tremblingly and obediently.

Guo Ziyi rushed in, cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Xuan, "Master, there is news from Chang'an."

Guo Ziyi's expression was a little strange.

Zhang Xuan looked at Guo Ziyi, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"Li Heng issued an edict of guilt and abdication, abdicated to Li Yu, Li Yu proclaimed himself emperor, and changed his reign name to Baoying." Guo Ziyi said softly.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and suddenly stood up and said in a concentrated voice, "What? Li Yu became the emperor?"

Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes. Li Yu proclaimed himself emperor, and issued edicts one after another, ordering the world's vassals and towns to be the king of Qin, saying that he will work hard to rule, and he will live and die with Chang'an."

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "These sons of the emperor are more courageous and courageous than him. It seems that Li Heng was about to flee to Sichuan again, and was forced into the palace by Li Yu and Li Tan...Who?" In charge of the army? Li Guangbi or Ge Shuhan?"

"Li Tan is the commander-in-chief, Li Guangbi is the deputy commander-in-chief, and brother Shuhan guards Guanzhong and Chang'an." Guo Ziyi replied.

"Li Guangbi is in command of the army..." Zhang Xuan sneered, "Forget it, let's take Fan Yang first, and Chang'an doesn't care about him!"

Seeing that Guo Ziyi hesitated to speak, as if he still had something to say, Zhang Xuan wondered, "Ziyi, do you have something to say?"

"My lord, the new emperor canonized my lord as King Yong, Grand Master, Governor of Longshuo, and Governor of Fanyang, Fanyang Longshuo in Yongzhen, listen to the instructions but not to the announcement."

Guo Ziyi clasped her fists and said in a low voice.

Li Yu's edict avoided the established fact that Zhang Xuan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. If Zhang Xuan accepted the move, he could justifiably become the master of Longshuo and Fanyang and become his own country. The Tang court.

There is not only the intention of showing favor, but also the feeling of forbearance, and it also has the taste of seeking peace.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and sat down slowly.

Guo Ziyi stared closely at Zhang Xuan, trying to observe and sense something from Zhang Xuan's changing expression.Although Guo Ziyi judged that Zhang Xuan would probably not follow him, he still had a little worry in his heart.

"Fan Yang and Long Shuo are unstoppable. If we live in Fan Yang and Long Shuo, we may die without a place to die when the emperor recovers." Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "For Zhang, The world is under control, how can you give up halfway? If Zhang gives up halfway, how can he live up to the great love and ardent expectations of the soldiers of the three armies?"

Guo Ziyi was overjoyed, and bowed down, "My lord is wise!"

The other generals also bowed down impressively, "My lord is wise!"

For people like Guo Ziyi, since they have joined forces with Zhang Xuan to rebel against Tang, they hope to see Zhang Xuan control the world and usurp Tang as emperor and establish a new dynasty.Only in this way can they be the founding heroes, and their names will go down in history.On the other hand, if Zhang Xuan gives up halfway and settles down in a corner, they may still have glory and wealth, but in the future they will be infamous as traitors for thousands of years.

"It's not wise to talk about it, but it's not a wise man to give up halfway." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, and suddenly said loudly, "Ziyi, pass on the words of a certain person, send someone to pass the news back to Chang'an, and say the words of the commander: If Tang Emperor Li Yu If you are willing to abdicate and let the virtuous, in the future, someone can give him the title of King of Tang, and he will not be replaced by hereditary."

Zhang Xuan laughed out loud.

The generals also laughed loudly.

Guo Ziyi smiled and cupped his hands, "I obey."

This seems to be just a joke by Zhang Xuan.But Tian Kexin, who was standing beside Zhang Xuan, knew in her heart that the imposing man in front of her would say anything for no reason.

"It seems that he is planning to arrange Li Tang's royal family in this way...but this will leave future troubles?" Tian Kexin's thoughts flashed, and she suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan had a woman who was the princess of Li Tang's royal family.

After the change of dynasties, the royal family of the previous dynasties generally did not end well, which is the fate of history.As for how Zhang Xuan will arrange Li Tang's royal family in the future, it is still unknown, because at this time, it is too early to consider this issue.

Tian Kexin stared at Zhang Xuan, but seeing Zhang Xuan's playful smile, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and lowered her head again.
