Chapter 344: The first to get the moon is the tower near the water, and the flowers and trees in the sun are easy to spring.
Facts have proved that Li Xuan is undoubtedly a foolish king.
All forces continued to send good news to the emperor who had already gone into hiding, indicating that the siege of Chang'an City had been lifted and the rebel Huang Chao had been completely destroyed.
However, Li Xuan was frightened by the previous martial arts battle.
He had never encountered such a critical moment in his life. The enemy's front was only a few miles away from him.
Li Zhang was frightened and kept sending messengers to confirm the news, basically one messenger every three days.
The officers and soldiers from all over Guanzhong were extremely annoyed, and they even lost their respect for the emperor.
It was not until all the Taoist camps around the capital were under the command of Zheng Tian and sent people to quickly deliver Huang Chao's head to the emperor that Li Zhang finally stopped having nightmares.
Immediately, Li Xuan, who was overjoyed, immediately conveyed the imperial edict and asked the former prime minister Zheng Tian to be promoted to the post of prime minister again.
As for Lu Xie, everyone just ignored it.
The eunuch who read out the imperial edict interrupted Li Yunze's thoughts with his sharp voice, his eyes full of gloating, "Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the imperial court?"
But if the emperor is not in control, then anyone can easily kill them.
After all, everyone said that a virtuous person should be selected from the clan.
He could finally see that the authority of the emperor and the court had long been lost, and that so many vassal towns in the world would completely destroy the court sooner or later. As long as they accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity, they would surely rise again.
"You, you, you" The eunuch was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yunze to be so direct. Could he be rebelling?
Zhu Wen, who was originally just an ordinary general under Huang Chao's command, was not only given the title of Quanzhong because of his meritorious service in killing Huang Chao, but was also awarded the title of General Zuojin Wuwei, the envoy to the camp in Hezhong, the governor of Bianzhou, and the Xuanwu Military Festival.
A series of honors and real powers such as being an ambassador
.
As for the eunuchs who delivered the order, Li Yunze showed contempt and said, "Break their five limbs and throw them into the prison cart for the prime minister to take away."
Zheng Tian made it very clear that Li Yunze is not Huang Chao.
After stabilizing the morale of the army, Li Yunze looked at Lu Xie, "Please ask the prime minister to go to Chengdu and have a good discussion with the emperor and ministers. If the sergeants are dissatisfied, don't blame me."
Li Yunze stole their belongings and naturally offended them to death.
First of all, the soldiers and horses under his command were extremely powerful, and Huang Chao's main force was defeated by him.
Others don't know who Zhu Wen is, but Li Yunze is very knowledgeable.
There were no complications with this appointment. Zheng Tian's qualifications were definitely sufficient, and he was also the nominal commander-in-chief of this crusade against Huang Chao. It was natural for him to win this reward.
As for why the eunuch group also wanted to confront Li Yunze, it was because on the one hand, Li Yunze did not understand the rules and never paid tribute to the eunuchs.
Their first reaction was to mobilize King Qin's army, which had gathered in Guanzhong at this time, to encircle and suppress Li Yunze.
The reason why he did not find a clan in Chang'an City to create a puppet emperor was not because he was not skilled in business, but because the Tang Dynasty was still strong at this time, but it was not very effective for the emperor to talk to the court.
Yes, there was an exchange directly.
Also, who gave them the courage to think that they would run to Xia Suiyin obediently? Someone from Liang?
I have to say that Li Yunze really offended Li Xuan and the eunuch group.
"Since we are not convinced, then we will ask the court for an explanation." At this point, Li Yunze showed a smile. "If the court does not give a satisfactory explanation, then we will select a virtuous person from the clan to assist in the leadership."
Li Yunze is not afraid of war, but brutal fighting will weaken the power of the Tang Dynasty, give opportunities to the Tubo Shatuo Khitan and other ministries outside, and turn the entire Guanzhong into a hell on earth.
"Why didn't Jiedu accept the order?"
In addition, the eunuch group that Li Xuan trusted most was also speaking ill of Li Yunze, which naturally had a bad influence on Li Yunze.
To say that being a traitor is not a big deal, in the era of feudal rule in the late Tang Dynasty, those who had never been a traitor were embarrassed to talk to others.
Li Yunze lived up to expectations and stood out. Many feudal towns gathered in Guanzhong immediately applauded, and then sat on the horse and gnawed courgettes to watch the excitement.
Zhu Wen, who originally gained the most, was only happy for half a class before being thrown away from Xia Suiyin.
When Lu Xie arrived in Chengdu, everyone who had packed their bags and saluted and was about to return to Chang'an fell into panic again.
The children of the aristocratic family were not the ones who could suffer. Although Heng Dao, who was photographed by the soldiers at the time, did not dare to speak too much, when he found the emperor, he naturally started to speak ill of him like crazy.
Even if it is not very effective, it will still be of some use. When the time comes, Li Zhang will definitely order all the soldiers and horses in the world to go to Chang'an City to serve the king.
Li Yunze nodded slowly, "Not bad."
But the result was not satisfactory.
Because everyone knows that the real success of this battle was Li Yunze, who stationed in Chang'an City, defeated Huang Chao several times, and eliminated his main force.
After confirming that force was not enough, they quickly gave in.
As for Li Yunze treating everyone equally, the ministers of the imperial court, the nobles, the royal family, and their relatives were all copied in the same way. Do the eunuchs care about this?
Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!
What Zhu Wen didn't know was that when he wanted to take revenge on Li Yunze, Li Yunze was also thinking of killing him!
Based on his military exploits, he was assigned to serve as the military governor of Xia Suiyin.
For the sake of the people of the world, Li Yunze chose to endure the humiliation and bear the burden!
The post-war disposal after Huang Chao was annihilated has been agitated for several months, and it has finally come to an end.
There is no reward for merit in this, it is clearly derogatory.
Lu Xie smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the assignment.
In Lu Xie's words, he originally wanted to give the surname Li, but Li Yunze's surname was Li, so naturally there was no need for it.
But the next imperial edict caused an uproar.
He came to this era to save the people who were trembling under the samurai's sword, not to destroy them.
Li Yunze asked curiously, "I went to Bianzhou, where will Zhu Wen go?"
Any attempt to resist at this time will inevitably lead to a dead end.
The reason is very simple. When Li Yunze let the children of aristocratic families leave the city before, he charged them a fee for leaving the city based on their head. Even the oxen, horses and donkeys had to be paid.
Zhu Wen had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow the blood, and went to Xia Suiyin with anger in his arms.
Li Xuan and the eunuchs were all panicked.
In fact, if there weren't too many soldiers and horses around him, he would have taken it and stuffed it into a prison car and transported it to Chengdu for brewing.
Naturally, everyone was in an uproar.
As for Zhuge Shuang, the former military governor of Xia Suiyin, although he returned to the court with Zhu Wen, he had no strength without soldiers at this time. Naturally, no one spoke for him, and the military governor was also kicked off.
Driven by various forces, Li Yunze, the real leader, received the worst reward.
Li Yunze's reward also came, and the envoy from Chengdu read out the imperial edict to Li Yunze.
On the other hand, it was because all the eunuchs' property, residences, businesses, warehouses, etc. in Chang'an City were confiscated by Li Yunze in the name of wartime requisition.
Lu Xie gloated and said, "Xia Suiyin."
So he originally planned to eliminate Zhu Wen's hidden danger while going to Bianzhou.
All soldiers and horses were dissatisfied with this appointment.
Li Yunze glanced at the eunuchs lightly, turned to the many sergeants and roared, "We fought bloody battles and wiped out the main force of the rebel Huang Chao in one fell swoop. But how did the imperial court treat us? Not only did they not give out rewards, but they also ordered
I'll be sent to the land of Xia Suiyin
.Are you convinced?"
Li Yunze was also slightly surprised, wondering where he had offended Li Xuan, or the eunuch group?
For the eunuchs who had only four limbs left, their only concern in life was their wealth.
He was naturally very dissatisfied, but the problem was that although he still had some strength, he was far from being able to compete with the army.
When I thought of this, I immediately lost my arrogance, my teeth chattered, and I couldn't find the bones in my legs.
Everyone worked tirelessly to attack Huang Chao, but in the end a traitor took the lead through rebellion. Who can bear this?
But unexpectedly, another human devil unexpectedly saved Zhu Wen.
Moreover, because of the Tibetan invasion, trade routes were cut off, and even if you wanted to collect taxes, you could not collect even a few copper coins.
There was nothing much to say. The soldiers naturally cheered and the atmosphere was high.
This group of people even slandered Li Yunze for having an affair with the concubines and princesses who were abandoned in Chang'an City, and they spoke as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
The soldiers raised their swords in the air and responded, "Not convinced~!!!"
Everyone knows that Xia Suiyin is a poor place, and it is difficult to feed the local people on the land there.
The problem is that Zhu Wen, who has no qualifications and no ability, has won the first prize. It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
"Bros."
Lu brought back a new imperial edict, conferring Li Yunze the title of General Zuojinwuwei, setting up a camp in Hezhong to recruit envoys, governor of Bianzhou, and envoy of the Xuanwu Army.
Except for not giving a surname, it is a perfect copy of Zhu Wen's reward.
Not surprisingly, Zhu Wen deeply resented Li Yunze.
He was called the Supreme Emperor from a distance, and then he just waited here to die.
Li Xuan was afraid of being forcibly abdicated. He was not even in Chang'an City at this time, and it was very likely that he would end up like the old Li Longji.
Secondly, Li Yunze occupied Chang'an City, and Huang Chao's 600,000-strong army was killed instead of being defeated. If he were replaced by the imperial army, he might not be able to gain favor.
To take the lead, he is definitely the most suitable.
Hearing this, many soldiers around them drew their swords one after another, raised their chests and contracted their abdomens and made a glaring Vajra pose.
"Yes." Li Yunze nodded with an indifferent expression, "I'm very dissatisfied, and it's not just me who is dissatisfied, but also the 100,000 troops under my command."
In the end, the soldiers and horses in each town were dissatisfied with the rewards from the imperial court. It was almost certain that they would not work hard, and it was even impossible for them to directly join Li Yunze's camp.
The eunuchs were even more afraid. The reason why they were so awesome was because they controlled the emperor.
The Jiedushi envoys were not in a hurry to attack, but turned their attention to Chang'an City.
This person's name is Qin Zongquan, he is a real demon king, his cruelty is even worse than Huang Chao.
When this man marched, he carried salted corpses in his cart to serve as military rations, plundering ordinary people everywhere and cooking them as he pleased. Within his sphere of influence, the fish and birds were scattered, the human habitation was cut off, and the wilderness was covered with thorns and hazel, which could be called a hell on earth.
This human devil sent troops to plunder the pass and immediately attracted Li Yunze's attention.
