Empress Wu looked at the dark crowd of ministers, and felt proud. After three months of management, the power of the Tang Dynasty had been successfully transferred and was smoothly in her hands. Although the new emperor Li Xian had a high reputation before,
However, in the face of reality, she could only choose to compromise. Although she experienced several resistances during the period, because the entire political hall was controlled by her people, that kind of resistance was simply a drop of a feather, and it was ridiculously weak.
"Hmph, little boy Xian'er, when the late Emperor was alive, you were so powerful that you didn't even take me seriously. Your martial arts were outstanding, but so what? Now you're not under my control obediently?
As for the generals you rely on, I have now sent them to the border. If they dare to lead their troops back privately, there is only death waiting for them. What's more, I still have you as my hostage. I don't believe they dare to risk it.
We risk your being killed to raise an army and start a rebellion. Boy, do you want to compete with me? You are still a little greener."
Empress Wu smiled proudly, and then asked: "I wonder if you have anything important to report to me? If nothing happens, you can withdraw from the court."
At this time, he suddenly saw the new Minister of War, Cen Changqian, a third-rank disciple of Tongzhongshu, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother, it's bad, Li Jingye has rebelled!"
"What? Li Jingye? He, a small Sima from Liuzhou, dares to rebel? How much trouble can this little power create?" After hearing this, Empress Wu smiled nonchalantly and waved her hand.
But Cen Changqian sighed: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. This guy didn't rebel in Liuzhou, but in Yangzhou. At present, this guy has controlled the entire Yangzhou and established three mansions, one is Kuangfu mansion and the other is Yinggong."
The first is the Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou. Jingye calls himself General Kuangfu Mansion and leads the Governor of Yangzhou. With Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren as the left, Chang Shi, Wang Bo, Zhang Jianzhi as the left and right Sima, Wei Siwen as the military adviser, and King Luo Bin as
In the record room, more than 100,000 soldiers gathered in the recording room in ten days, and King Luo Bin even wrote a proclamation, which was really abominable..."
"What? What did you say? That guy actually occupied the entire Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Palace? And there were more than 100,000 people under his command? Damn it, when did this guy arrive in Yangzhou?" Empress Wu suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly lost her voice.
asked.
Then Cen Changqian smiled bitterly and told the story of Li Jingye's rebellion again.
"This guy is really hateful. Do you think that since you are Li Ji's grandson, I won't attack you? By the way, you just said that he asked King Luo Bin to write an appeal. Where are the fine lines? Show me."
Empress Wu said to Cen Changqian with a hint of curiosity in her brows.
Cen Changqian hesitated for a while and said slowly: "The Queen Mother, you should not read this message. King Luo Bin is very vicious and slanders the Queen Mother..."
"Haha, I just thought I was bitten by a dog. It doesn't matter, bring it to me for a look." Empress Wu took the letter and read it silently.
I saw the message: "Those who pretend to be the Wu family in Linchao are not docile in nature and have a cold land. In the past, they served as Emperor Taizong's subordinates, and they used to change their clothes to serve as servants. In the late festival, they messed up the erotic palace. They hid the secrets of the late emperor and secretly concealed their secrets."
Pictured is the lover in the back room. When you enter, you will see jealousy, and you won’t let others in with your eyebrows; you will hide your sleeves and slander, but your charm can only confuse the master. Empress Yuan was in Huizhai, and I trapped my king in Juhuo. With the heart of a lizard, he is a wolf by nature.
, they are evil and eccentric, killing loyal and good people, killing sisters and brothers, regicide and murdering mothers. Humans and gods are jealous of each other, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it... The swallow pecked the emperor's grandson, knowing that the Han Dynasty was about to end; Emperor Longman knew that
The sudden decline of Xia Ting.
…
The Duke may have passed down the title of the Han Dynasty from his family, or may have been associated with the relatives of the Zhou Dynasty, or may have reprinted it and sent it to his followers, or may have received orders from the Propaganda Office. The words are still in his ears, how can he forget his heart when he is loyal? A handful of soil is not dry, how can a six-foot lone man be trusted?
If you can turn misfortunes into blessings, send them to your official residence, and jointly establish the honor of being a diligent king, without abolishing the order of the old king... Please see who is in charge of the world in today's territory! Move to Xizhou County, and let the envoys know about it."
After Empress Wu read the appeal, she immediately laughed and said, "This King Luo Bin is quite talented. I underestimated him in the past."
At this time, Li Xian, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly said: "Mother, can you show this message to me? I would like to know what King Luo Bin wrote?"
Empress Wu was startled when she heard this. She also knew what Li Xian was thinking, but she didn't care at all and handed the letter to Li Xian to read.
But he didn't expect that Li Xian suddenly tore up his message and shouted loudly: "This Li Jingye, King Luo Bin and other thieves are eating my salary in the Tang Dynasty. They are so ungrateful. It is really intolerable in the world. Mother, please allow me to lead a large army. My son."
I want you to go on a personal expedition to exterminate this traitor and lead him to Tianmen!"
"Haha, let you lead the army? Wouldn't the world become more chaotic? I'm afraid that Li Jingye and others will definitely follow you to attack Luoyang. I don't know, you know? These people are actually your people!" Empress Wu thought in her heart
He sneered secretly, but on the surface he laughed and said: "These rabble don't need you to lead the army in battle. Our court has no shortage of good soldiers and generals. If you find just one person, you can wipe out this small group of clowns."
Empress Wu looked at the ministers and then said: "After Li Jingye believed himself to be a meritorious official, he relied on his favor and became arrogant and committed rebellion. It is really an unforgivable crime. According to my decree, Li Xiaoyi will be the general manager of Yangzhou Road and will rule the army for thirty years."
Wan, immediately send troops to defeat the rebels, deprive Li Jingye's brothers of the surname given to them, and still change them to Xu Jingye, Xu Jingyou, etc. The tombs of Jingye's father and ancestors are all dug up, and the family members are taken as slaves."
After some intensive arrangements, Empress Wu issued an edict three days later, appointing Li Xiaoyi, the general of Zuo Yuqianwei, as the general manager of Yangzhou Daodao, Li Zhishi, the general of Zuojinwuwei, and Ma Jingchen, the general of Yulin Zhonglang of Zuojinwuwei, as the deputy chief.
The general manager commanded an army of 300,000 people and marched towards Yangzhou.
However, he did not expect that at the same time, Guo Yuanzhen, the governor of Youzhou, also led his troops to support Li Jingye and asked Empress Wu to transfer power to the emperor. Within ten days, more than 100,000 people gathered, and Empress Wu was shocked, because Guo Yuanzhen was not an ordinary person. This man was both civil and military.
, with great military exploits and extremely high prestige in the north, Empress Wu had no choice but to send General Zuo Yulin Zhang Qianxu to lead an army of 300,000 to quell the rebellion. For a time, Luoyang, which had gathered a million troops to defend itself,
Suddenly it felt empty.
However, Empress Wu asked herself that she still had a 100,000-strong army commanded by General Cheng Wuting of the Military Guard, 50,000 Mohe troops commanded by the guard general Li Duozuo of the left prison, and a 100,000 Tibetan army of 100,000 by the guard general Gal Gongren of the right prison.
There is also the Donggong Liu commanded by Li Dan with nearly 100,000 people. She believes that with such power, no matter what conspiracies and tricks Li Xian has, they will not be able to stir up any waves. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
