Chapter 474 Arrogance (crazy asking for a monthly ticket)
For some people, the timing of becoming emperor is actually very particular.
Looking at today's world, there are strict restrictions on the time when three characters can become emperor.
The first person to bear the brunt was naturally Li Yuan. After he invaded Chang'an, he chose to replace King Yang You as the emperor as a buffer.
This was undoubtedly a very wise thing to do. The Sui Dynasty was about to fall, but the embers remained. The princes were divided into separate kingdoms, fighting for not only the territory of the world, but also the great righteousness.
Using the acting king Yang You as the emperor will leave some room for Li Yuan to ascend to the throne. A symbolic inheritance is much easier to accept than a bloody death.
Of course, unlike Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, his intention to coerce the emperor to control the princes was not as strong as it was in the late Han Dynasty. The Central Plains, which had been in chaos for a long time, had not been unified under the Sui Dynasty for many years.
The theory of common master of the world has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to use Yang You to issue orders in Chang'an, you will not get the same effect as Cao Mengde in the late Han Dynasty.
After Yang Guang died, Li Yuan couldn't wait to ascend the throne.
In fact, this timing was not chosen well. In addition to cutting off the last retreat of the Kansai Li family, it also damaged Li Yuan's reputation for benevolence and righteousness.
At this time, Li Yuan, who finally has the reputation of being orthodox, has lost what he has lost. It is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. In the end, what matters is the result.
If Li Tang can dominate the world, then everything Li Yuan does at this time will be reasonable. If not, then there is no need to expect future generations to leave a lasting legacy.
The other one can actually only be said to be a passer-by during the war in the late Sui Dynasty.
Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Guang in Jiangdu and established Yang Guang's grandson as emperor. But he didn't need to talk about the timing, and he had no place among the world's heroes.
The other one is Wang Shichong, whose timing of proclaiming himself emperor was actually worse than that of Li Yuan.
If it could be slowed down for a while, the situation in the world might be different. Unfortunately, Wang Shichong, who had subdued many of Li Mi's surrendered troops and dominated the city of Luoyang, was obviously a little crazy.
Before the situation in Henan was settled, he first considered the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang in June of that year.
Compared with the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, the heroes of the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty seem to have a bit of a rough and tumble atmosphere. Today, there are only six or seven emperors in the world, which is really too many.
Wang Shichong's ambition was not the slightest bit inflated. When he proclaimed himself emperor, he seemed to treat the world's heroes as if they were nothing.
It is actually an edict to all the heroes in the world. Needless to say the detailed announcement, the general meaning is that I, Wang Shichong, am the true dragon emperor, and you all are crowned with monkeys, why don't you surrender as soon as possible.
In fact, his psychology is similar to that of Xu Shiji and others. They may all think that the Henan army is the best in the world since the war. As long as the enemy Li Mi is defeated, the other princes will be nothing more than chickens and dogs.
As expected, Dou Jiande, who had returned to Hebei Province, was the first to express his welcome. He had no choice but to ask for help from others.
However, Jianghuai Du Fuwei, who was initially hesitant, lost news again after Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor. Apparently, he had no interest in proclaiming his vassal to Wang Shichong.
Du Fuwei is an interesting person. He became a thief because of his helpless life. Later, he fell into trouble and became a bandit. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, chaos broke out. He raised troops in the eastern part of the Huaihe River and once threatened Jiangdu.
In fact, it was precisely because of his great power and unstable military morale that Yu Wenhuaji did not dare to stay in Jiangdu for a long time after killing Yang Guang.
Du Fuwei fought with the Sui army for two years, but despite his rough background, he seemed to pay attention to the justice of the emperor and his ministers after he became full-fledged.
He first proclaimed himself a minister to Yang You of Chang'an. After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he regarded himself as a minister of the Sui Dynasty and severed ties with Li Tang.
Later, he wanted to surrender to Yang You, but Luoyang was in crisis several times, so he withdrew again.
This man ruled the roost in Huaidong. He had many powerful soldiers from Huaiyang under his command, and his rule gradually became stable. However, he was the least ambitious among the heroes in the world. He seemed to only want to find a wise master to take refuge with.
And looking around, he seemed a little too aloof and disdainful of the rebellious officials and traitors like himself. He was really a strange and contradictory guy.
Of course, no matter what, Wang Shichong's imperial edict was scattered all over the world, but very few responded. It seemed that only he and the messy subordinates in Luoyang were enjoying themselves.
In fact, if you had not seen it with your own eyes, you would not be able to imagine the chaos in Luoyang City this year.
The princes and ministers in Luoyang City are all trembling with fear. Today they are ministers in the palace, but tomorrow they may be prisoners.
Wang Shichong's confidants and the surrendered generals of Li Mi who he had subdued, armed with swords and guns, ran rampant in the streets. Anyone who was slightly dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's succession to the throne would immediately have his family ruined.
It can be said that as soon as the war in Henan stopped, it entered another state of chaos. Li Mi was defeated, and the people in Luoyang City became precarious. The entire Henan was desolate and had been killed by Li Mi and Wang Shichong.
one slice.
But the more this happened, the less willing people were to clean up the mess. From time to time, Li Mi surrendered his army to rebel against the separatist regime, and Wang Shichong needed to send people to quell it.
Before such a mess could be cleaned up, Wang Shichong held a grand enthronement ceremony and held a grand military parade in front of the Luoyang Palace to intimidate the rebels.
Well, according to Li Po's logic, Henan really doesn't look like an emperor at all nowadays.
When Wang Shichong's edict arrived in Hedong, Li Po took a look at it and threw it aside. In his opinion, this was something that had been expected long ago and was not worth paying much attention to. Moreover, there were more people proclaiming themselves emperors now, and there was no shortage of Wang Shichong.
.
It's just that this person is special. He even sent an edict to persuade Li Po to surrender, which really surprised Li Po and also lowered this person's IQ.
This is obviously an act to make enemies.
However, Li Po rolled his eyes and thought about Li Yuan who not only repeatedly took advantage of his status, but also used to form alliances. If he persuaded Wang Shichong to join forces to become his enemy, that would be really hard to bear.
.
Although this possibility is not high, who knows, if Li Yuan is cruel and gives Li Mi, who voted for him, as a gift to Wang Shichong, then it is really possible. In this case, he has to be careful.
So Li Po, who didn't want to reply to Wang Shichong, reluctantly wrote a revised letter to Wang Shichong. There is no need to say more about the rest of the letter. With Pei Shiqing here, no matter what Li Po said, he could just wave it away.
When Li Po picked it up and read it, he understood about 70% of it, and the rest could only be guessed. The article was really not something he had read some Buddhist scriptures, recited a few military books, and then looked at the messy books.
It can be made up for.
Well, regardless of other things, Li Po only mentioned it to Wang Shichong that Luoyang was in ruins and was not qualified to be an emperor. Chang'an, the capital of Xijing, had prosperous people and was not comparable to Luoyang. Only by marching eastward to capture Chang'an could he become an emperor.
When that time comes, all the heroes in the world will naturally respond and obey.
