Four hundred and seventieth chapters country title Dazheng
Bing Yuanzhen's rebellion caused Li Mi to lose the last piece of his foundation and completely ended Li Mi's hope of making a comeback!
Finally, after some urgent consultations with several dog-headed military advisors, everyone agreed to go west to Chang'an and join Li Yuan, the old bastard! Also going with him were Zu Junyan, Chai Xiaohe and other Li Mi's confidants, as well as a total of less than a thousand people.
Li Mi's personal guard.
In contrast to Li Mi's misery, Wang Shichong defeated the 200,000 Wagang Army with 20,000 Sui troops, and finally completely took off the hat of "frequently defeated general" on his head!
Not only that, after a hearty fight, the Sui army captured nearly 100,000 Wagangzhai rebels in one fell swoop. In addition, nearly 70,000 Wagang soldiers from Luokoucang surrendered.
After some emergency reorganization, Wang Shichong's army expanded to nearly 300,000.[
More importantly, the large amount of grain and grass stored in Luokou Warehouse finally provided Wang Shichong with an urgent need!
With many soldiers under his command, plenty of food in the storehouse, and the city of Luoyang being high and deep, Wang Shichong finally had the confidence to compete with Yuwen Chenglong!
With his confidence soaring, Wang Shichong, armed with the power of victory, began to persecute the emperor Yang Tong even more brazenly.
Under the active action of Duan Da and other gangsters, the rumor that a bird in the sky predicted that Wang Shichong would be the emperor soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang.
In addition, the news that Wang Shichong defeated the rebels in Wagangzhai with the help of "Zhou Gong" quickly spread widely.
At this point, even the stray dogs on the streets of Luoyang City knew that Wang Shichong wanted to rebel, not to mention those princes and ministers who always boasted of being smart-minded!
It is a pity that after several baptisms, there are no loyal ministers and good generals in the Great Sui Dynasty. The remaining group are basically just wallflowers and the like!
Now that Wang Shichong has become a leader, these outsiders will naturally not come out to maintain the emperor's dignity of Yang Tong. Instead, they unite to write a letter to Yang Tong, strongly requesting Yang Tong to "add special gifts" to Wang Shichong.
The so-called "special etiquette" refers to special etiquette. Specifically, it includes "praising and worshiping unknown people, entering the court without rushing, going to the palace with swords and shoes", etc. In a word, it is equivalent to a quasi-emperor who has not officially ascended the throne!
The military power was taken away. At this time, Yang Tong has basically been reduced to a decoration!
Now facing the unanimous petition from all the ministers in the audience, although Yang Tong wanted to chop up all these rebellious ministers and traitors and feed them to dogs, on the surface, Yang Tong still had to act like a docile and virtuous king. He obeyed.
The intention of these wallflowers is to give Wang Shichong a special gift!
Because Yang Tong knew that, similar to the previous addition of Jiuxi, it didn't matter whether he objected to it or not! The key was that Wang Shichong wanted it! If he insisted on not giving it, he might have annoyed that person.
If Wang Shichong said that, he would immediately depose himself as the emperor!
So, for the sake of your own life and for the sake of staying with the emperor for a few more days, you might as well endure it!
After Yang Tong took a step back, Wang Shichong made further progress!
Because this Wang Shichong actually refused Yang Tong's good intention to give him a special gift!
"Could it be that that old bastard Wang Shichong doesn't really want to rebel?"
Seeing this situation, little kid Yang Tong couldn't help but feel a little confused!
Although Yang Tong is confused, someone understands! Those ministers who are just sitting on the wall!
In this case, Wang Shichong had just rejected Yang Dong's kindness, and in that case, more than a hundred courtiers jointly submitted a letter again, asking Yang Dong to give Wang Shichong special gifts in an even stronger tone![
At this time, Yang Tong finally understood! It turns out that Wang Shichong, this old bastard, is really pretending to be modest! Damn, this is really bullying!
Although he was extremely angry, Yang Tong still had no choice but to follow the wishes of those ministers and send another decree to Wang Shichong and the old bastard with special gifts!
After repeating this process three times, Wang Shichong seemed to be unable to refuse the kindness, so he reluctantly accepted the special gift as everyone expected!
A few days after the second step of usurping the throne was completed, Wang Shichong saw that the response from the people seemed to be good and there seemed to be no opposition. So, Wang Shichong began to plan the third step of usurping the throne, which was to abdicate!
Duan Da, the chief lackey under Wang Shichong, was still the vanguard. Dozens of sycophants entered the palace and strongly demanded that Yang Tong abdicate the throne to Wang Shichong!
Originally, Yang Tong still imagined that even if Wang Shichong wanted to rebel, he would have to wait for a year and a half, right? In that case, he would still have a chance to breathe!
Unexpectedly, not even a month has passed, but Wang Shichong can’t wait to tear off the last layer of disguise!
Seeing that this year will never pass, Yang Tong has completely given up and no longer pretends to be a grandson!
Pointing at the noses of Duan Da and others, Yang Tong yelled, "Sooner or later, you rebellious officials and traitors will be punished! When my imperial grandmother sends her troops to the north, she will surely confiscate your homes and exterminate all your traitors, chop them into pieces and make dumplings for them."
Dog! Just wait and see!"
Duan Da didn't take it seriously for the threat from Yang Tong, a brat like him. "Damn it, there's no telling whether your royal grandmother will be able to return to Luoyang alive! It's too far-fetched to threaten us with her."
Bar?"
Thinking like this, Duan Da still maintained a look of determination on his face. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice with a more decisive tone, "Your Majesty, please give up the throne to Prince Zheng!"
Behind Duan Da, thirty or fifty ministers also took a step forward and threatened in unison, "Your Majesty, please abdicate the throne to Prince Zheng!"
"Dream! You bastards, don't even think about it! Let me tell you, if that bastard Wang Shichong, the rebellious minister, and the traitor wants to be the emperor, just let him rebel directly! Let me give up the throne to him, there is no way!"
In line with the fearless mentality of breaking the pot, this time, no matter how Duan Da and others coerced and lured him, Yang Tong was determined not to let go! He would not give Wang Shichong the last step even if he died!
It's a pity that at this point, Yang Tong didn't think of fighting, but it was already too late!
Although there was no consent from Yang Tong, Duan Da and others miraculously accomplished the abdication ceremony!
Moreover, I did it three times in a row!
It was not until the third "Edict" for the Zen position was handed down that Wang Shichong "reluctantly agreed" to accept Zen "out of the hope of everyone"!
What is even more shameful is that at the final Zen ceremony, Wang Shichong shamelessly announced that the world is in chaos and His Majesty is young and cannot bear the responsibility. It is for the sake of the people of the world that I, Wang Shichong, reluctantly accept Yang Tong.
The Zen throne! When I conquer the world in the future, I will definitely return the throne to Yang Tong, and so on!
All in all, after several months and rounds of farce, Wang Shichong finally officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changing the country's name to "Zheng".
It is worth mentioning that less than a month after Wang Shichong ascended the throne, Wang Shichong sent his nephew, Wang Renze, to kill the emperor Yang Tong with poisoned wine!
Poor Yang Tong, before he died, he just left a famous saying: "I hope that from now on, I will never be born into an imperial family again", and then he tragically completed his life of playing a small role and went to receive a box lunch.[
While Wang Shichong was busy in Luoyang City nervously trying to trick Yang Tong into usurping the throne, in Xu County, Yuwen Chenglong was also busy trying to trick people!
