Eight hundred and twentieth chapters Empress Dowager Li
Chapter 825 Queen Mother Li
Li Changxian looked at the two of them and sneered: "Brother is still fighting bloody battles, and we in Vietnam still have a hundred thousand troops! You don't discuss how to calm the people and retreat from the enemy, raise troops to serve the king, and jointly resist foreign humiliation, why are you discussing surrender behind closed doors here?!"
After saying that, he grabbed Su You's letter and poem on the table: "This is the irrefutable proof that you are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! Please note that my brave men in Vietnam are not dead yet!"
Li Daocheng stood up tremblingly: "Li Duguan, please leave some seeds for Dai Viet. If you do this, everyone will be dragged into the chariot of destruction!"
Li Changxian didn't bother to pay attention at all, and waved his hand: "Take it away!"
On February 5, the 10th year of Xining, Li Changxian, the governor of the territory, launched the Thang Long Mutiny and imprisoned Li Daocheng. Li Wensheng and other court officials put the Empress Dowager Li and Li Qiande under house arrest. They secretly issued edicts and called on the states in southern Vietnam to raise troops to serve the king. .
The defenders at the east gate of Shenglong Mansion were Li Daocheng's men. While resisting Li Changxian's attack, they opened the city gate wide and asked for help from the Song army.
Di Yong made a prompt decision and led Yi Jin's army and Guang Rui's army into the city.
Li Daocheng's reputation in Jiaozhi was extremely high. The arrest of him and Jiaozhi court officials triggered chaos within Jiaozhi.
After Di Yong entered the city, he immediately took control of the outer city and rescued the court officials and officials who were imprisoned.
Li Daocheng took control of the situation outside Thanglong City, and in the name of Zhongshu, asked all state capitals to maintain peace and wait for instructions from the court.
Su You ordered people to publish the news of Li Changjie's defeat at Fuliangjiang and the eight policies of the Song Dynasty towards Jiaozhi. He placed the responsibilities of the war on the royal family, the rear party, and the eunuch party, and stated that only the culprits would be punished and let the After Yi Jin's army and Guang Rui's army moved out of the way and left Wang Juncheng, the chaos in Jiaozhi became even more serious.
The governors are not fools. At this time, if you have soldiers, you will be the grass-head king. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was originally the nominal suzerainty. The current situation is unclear. Teams organized by several local state governments have stopped at the state borders one after another. Watch from both ends.
There were also several loyal and brave state and county officials who took the risk of being attacked by the Song army and led their troops through the Song army's defense zone. However, the Song army was stunned and did not fire a single musket or arrow.
When they entered Thang Long City, they were confused. Li Daocheng said that Li Changxian had controlled the inner palace guards and held the king and the queen mother hostage. Li Changxian said that Li Daocheng was a national traitor by leading the Song army into the city, and called on them to resist to the death.
Several people compared the characters of Li Daocheng and Li Changxian, then considered the current situation, and immediately joined Li Daocheng's command without hesitation.
On February 10th, a palace servant sneaked out of the inner city at the risk of death, bringing with him the location information of Li Qiande's imprisonment, and Li Qiande's blood letter asking for help.
It turns out that Empress Dowager Li was a very jealous person. Even under such circumstances, she remained stubborn and did not understand the overall situation. She treated Li Changxian as a slave.
After the inner city was besieged, supplies were limited, and the two gradually came into conflict.
Li Changxian simply restricted their freedom, so the mother and son became even more panicked. Li Qiande wrote a letter in blood and ordered Xiaohuangmen to sneak out and ask for help.
After Xiao Huangmen slipped out of the palace, he was also confused by the chaos in Shenglong City. He didn't know who to ask for. The Song people were unreliable and the eunuchs deserved to die. After much thought, he sent the blood letter to Li Daocheng.
Li Daocheng immediately approached Di Yong for help, and Di Yong agreed to send an elite team to attack the inner city and rescue Empress Dowager Li and Li Qiande.
At midnight on February 12th, Shi Wei and Sun Neng personally led the Shenji Squadron to blow up the palace wall closest to the place of house arrest and rescued Empress Dowager Li and Li Qiande.
At the same time, Di Yong commanded the Shenji Battalion to launch a general attack on the inner palace.
The army poured in, and the Cochin Forbidden Army surrendered one after another. Li Changxian tried to protrude through the palace gate, but was finally blocked in a pavilion, set on fire and committed suicide.
All the seals of the Li Yue Dynasty fell into the hands of the Song army, and the clan became a puppet.
What makes the Song army angry is that they strictly abide by the military discipline set by Shaobao, but it is Jiaozhi's own Qinwang army who behaves recklessly in Thanglong Palace, and has the same character as the Zhenla army and Champa army currently stationed there.
Many robbers took advantage of the situation and even searched for treasures in the palace and bullied the palace maids. Su You ordered that any plunderers be treated as traitors, so Di Yong dealt with them ruthlessly regardless of the Jiaozhi army, the Zhenla army, and the Champa army. After the incident, the chaos in Shenglong Mansion was calmed down.
On February 20th, Thang Long Palace finally regained stability, and the Li Dynasty held its last court meeting. Empress Dowager Le "withdrew the curtain and returned to power", and Li Qiande took charge.
Li Dao became the county prince Fu, and Le Wen Thanh became the prime minister.
Li Qiande's first edict after taking office was to declare unconditional surrender, label Li Changxian a "rebellious party", and summon the people involved to be arrested.
The second edict sent Yang Huaien, the envoy of the inner chamberlain, to the front line with a talisman to replace Li Changjie, asking him to stop resisting, hand over military power, and immediately return to Shenglong Mansion to resume his duties.
The third edict is the edict to sin against oneself.
"The king was young and virtuous, and lost his authority and power. He gave up paying tribute and arbitrarily attacked his neighbors.
Zhenla was conquered in one battle, the city was captured in two battles, grievances and grievances raged in the South China Sea, and wars were spread across Kyushu.
You don't want to regret it, invade the provinces, disturb the borders of the celestial dynasty, the teacher travels deeply, and the momentum is at a loss before returning.
Abandon the ancestor's plan to test loyalty and obedience, and bother with the imperial court's punishment.
The heavenly army was angry, and sent down thunder, and the wings of the Kun were driven forward, and the evil deeds were eliminated.
To express crimes and pursue them is to punish them.
Now I regret the last chapter, reflect deeply on myself, stop laying off my troops, and dissolve the royal court.
The soldiers and horses guarding the state, please wait in the camp to obey the destiny.
If you are the leader of the chaos, I would like to send you to the leader of the border to thank you and listen to me.
Those who are pious and keep their orders can be guaranteed to have good fortune; those who make troubles and follow the rules will surely suffer disaster later.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty Sui Huai has thousands of countries, no matter how far they are or how far away they are.
The guilty state presents an album, and it is advisable to brush it all.
I am ashamed to show my sin, and I will be faithful to you forever.
Qianli keeps his business and lives peacefully without disturbing each other; the borders of states and counties are sealed and sealed, waiting for the Qing Dynasty.
He was registered and naturalized, and he was given eternal land to the superior state; he surrendered with the seal, and he was sent to Jingque.
Xian sent Zhou Wen."
Jiaozhi, accept the soil and surrender to the Song Dynasty!
…
In the city of Thang Long Prefecture, there is a small lake in all directions called Lingnum Pond.
There is a small temple in Lingmarsh Pond, built on a large stone pillar.
The stone pillar is four feet in diameter and one foot away from the water, symbolizing the flower stalk. The temple body is small and only one foot in diameter. It is better to call it a temple than a two-story building.
The slightly raised eaves on the four sides form petals, making the temple as a whole look like a lotus, standing gracefully in the Lingmarsh Pond.
There is a plaque hanging under the eaves of the front of the temple with the title "Lotus Terrace".
The Lingmarsh Pond is square in shape, with brick railings around the pond. The temple is a wooden structure, also square, with corridors on all sides.
The temple was built more than thirty years ago. According to legend, when Li Taizong was old and had no heir, one night he dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus leaf, holding a baby in his hands, standing on a lotus platform in the pool.
Soon, Li Taizong married a young peasant girl. She later gave birth to a boy for Li Taizong, who was exactly the same as the baby boy in his dream.
So Li Taizong ordered to build a temple imitating the water lotus to serve Guanyin Bodhisattva for generations, and named it Yanyou Temple.
People in Thang Long Palace are accustomed to calling this place Lotus Terrace.
There is a small stone bridge connecting the land and the temple.
Li Daocheng and Li Wensheng came here together and entered the temple along the stone bridge.
A middle-aged woman was chanting sutras in front of the Guanyin statue.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, the woman turned around and said, "Grand Master, Sir, what do the people of Song Dynasty say?"
Li Daocheng lowered his head: "The Song people rejected our request."
The woman's face was thin, and she must have been beautiful when she was young. However, she was too angry, and at a young age, she had deep wrinkles between her eyebrows, mouth and nose, which turned her originally beautiful face into a mean one.
Hearing that the Song people rejected the request, the woman immediately shouted: "Then fight! Fight to the death! Ask Li Changjie to cross the river to serve the king! Everyone in Shenglong Mansion will distribute weapons and treasures from the treasury. Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man!"
"
Li Daocheng did not look at her: "Years ago, when we launched an army, I tried to persuade the empress not to start this war. It was the empress who listened to Li Changjie's deception and insisted on doing it."
"After the army was rejuvenated, I also advised the empress to open up the treasury and reward the soldiers in the border states. The empress asked your majesty to refuse on the grounds that the Wanshou Festival would be extravagant."
"Now that the empress wants to get a brave man, we know that all the brave men in Dai Viet have died in the north of the Fuliang River! One hundred thousand people! A whole hundred thousand people!"
