Li Chengzhong spent the entire winter of the third year of Guanghua in the Tang Dynasty on the Bohai Sea expedition. When the Yingzhou Army made immeasurable huge gains in the Bohai Kingdom, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty once again ushered in great changes. And this time the great changes
, then all the attention of the vassal towns all over the world were focused on Xi Jing'an.
The emperor felt the huge threat from the privy envoys Song Daobi and Jing Wuxiu. He claimed that he was ill and summoned the prime minister Cui Yin for a secret discussion. Before Cui Yin's collapse, he made suggestions and contacted the powerful figure in the Ministry of Internal Affairs through his chamberlain Xue Qizai - Lieutenant of Zuo Shence Army Liu Jishu
and Wang Zhongxian, the lieutenant of You Shence Army, promised them to take charge of the Privy Council.
When Song Daobi and Jing Wuxiu realized that the situation was not good and wanted to try to change it, it was already too late. This plan to drain the firepower made the two chamberlains and provincial chief eunuchs become empty frames in the court.
The emperor issued an edict to supervise the army in Jingnan with Daobi of the Song Dynasty, and to supervise the army in Pinglu with Jingwuxiu. The two had to leave the capital sadly. Within a day, the emperor's edict came again. Daobi of the Song Dynasty was exiled to Huanzhou, and Jingwuxiu was exiled to Aizhou. The two of them had to leave the capital sadly.
As soon as they arrived at Baqiao Station, before they had time to separate, the emperor's edict came again and they all committed suicide. At the same time, Cui Yin urged the emperor to issue an edict to kill the prime minister Wang Tuanci who had been driven out of the court by Cui Yin.
Of course, Cui Yin would not let go of the prime ministers Xu Yanruo and Cui Yuan who had done evil to him. Xu Yanruo had already realized that the situation was dangerous after the two middle-ranking officials in Song Dynasty and Jing Dynasty were demoted, so he immediately asked to go, and his memorial was handed over
, the emperor agreed and asked him to go to Guangzhou to serve as Qinghai's military governor, so a generation of important ministers were sent to three thousand miles away. However, Prime Minister Xu understood the truth and saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise the outcome would be even worse. Cui Yuan
He was not as free and easy as Xu Yanruo. He refused to leave and was dismissed from office within two days. He was left with an empty title of Tongping Zhangshi and went home to retire.
The Political Affairs Hall was empty, and Cui Yin had the final say from now on. Of course he was satisfied with this situation, but he himself felt a little embarrassed to dominate the Political Affairs Hall alone, so he appointed Pei Zhi as his deputy, which was just a window dressing.
Cui Yin was the most ambitious prime minister at the end of the Tang Dynasty. After clearing out his colleagues in the political affairs hall, he set his sights on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only by cutting off the "castration problem" could his political ambitions be truly realized.
, otherwise everything would be just a mirror. So he secretly made suggestions to the emperor and prepared to "kill all the eunuchs."
After returning from Huazhou, the emperor had been indulging for three years. Suddenly he felt that everything was getting better again, so he became energetic. This "brightening up" naturally ruined things. I have to admit that the emperor Li Ye is a
A relatively smart emperor, but this smart emperor experienced huge setbacks that he could not imagine at the beginning of his accession to the throne, which made his nerves a little abnormal. He was happy for three years and then sad for three years, and he was lost for three years and lost again for three years.
Overjoyed, Emperor Li Ye could no longer control his emotions under such repeated and strong stimulation.
He felt that the future was bright, and that the Li family had a new turning point, so - he suddenly became interested in hunting, and couldn't help but go hunting in Shanglinyuan, and really enjoyed it. In fact, he became interested in hunting.
It doesn't matter, but the key is that the hunting harvest was very rich, which seemed to indicate the dragon's prosperity, so he ordered people to serve wine to celebrate. Well, actually celebrating was nothing, but he had become accustomed to it in the past decadent years.
Being drunk was more troublesome. The drunken emperor was very excited. In a state of amnesia, he angrily scolded the young eunuchs serving him around him. When he got excited, he naturally couldn't help but mention things like "Just wait, what will I do in the future?"
Such stupid things, the more he scolded him, the more impulsive he became. He pulled out the emperor's sword and killed several Xiaohuangmen on the spot, and several palace ladies also suffered unreasonable disasters. After killing the people, the emperor fell drunk and fell into confusion in his sleep.
I don't know.
When the emperor kills people while drunk, a fish will inevitably slip through the net. The little fish that slipped through the net ran to cry to Liu Jishu and Wang Zhongxian, and the emperor's words reached the ears of the lieutenants. At this time, even Xue Qixi, the emperor's most trusted servant, was afraid
Everyone would be scared to see such a master who thought about killing him all day long. On the night when the emperor was fast asleep, the eunuchs in the inner chamber held discussions all night. The result of the discussion was "The master is frivolous and often deceitful.
If you serve Nansi exclusively, we will eventually suffer from it. It is better to serve the prince and respect the Lord as the Supreme Emperor." Someone asked, "Xuanwu has the power to suppress Prime Minister Cui, what can be done?" Liu Jishu replied: "Introduction
"Qi, the Chinese soldiers will support me and control the vassals, who can harm me?" - Later, it was proved that this sentence was a bit taken for granted.
The next day, while the emperor was still drunk, the officials discussed with Cui Yin and others in the political hall. They said that the palace door had not been opened yet, and they did not know what was going on with the emperor. It would be terrible if something happened.
Cui Yin was also a little worried, so he agreed with the suggestions of the lieutenants and decided to forcefully open the palace door. The lieutenants summoned thousands of Shence sergeants who had already gathered and broke in. As soon as they entered, they saw the drunken emperor and the people on the ground.
Huangmen, the corpse of the palace maid. The middle-ranking officials were furious and said to Cui Yin: "How can the emperor take care of the world if he is so stupid? For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he should be abolished and a wise man should be established."
Cui Yin had already seen the signs at this time, but he was afraid and did not dare to disobey the middle officials, so he could only agree. The middle officials got the prime minister's nod, so they summoned all the officials and arranged troops in the palace, threatening them with swords and soldiers.
Hundreds of officials signed a petition to ask the prince to supervise the country. With the petition signed by hundreds of officials, the middle officials led their troops into the forbidden area again.
The emperor had just woken up and didn't know what was going on when he heard the officials say: "Your Majesty is tired of the great treasures and the public sentiments at home and abroad. I would like the prince to supervise the country and please ask your majesty to treasure the Yidong Palace."
Only then did the emperor realize that he had gotten into a big trouble. When he thought about last night, he couldn't remember it. He cried and said, "Yesterday I was just hunting and drinking with my attendants. I didn't do anything excessive. Why did I end up in this situation?"
The middle officials said, this matter is not our fault. It is a petition jointly signed by hundreds of officials. You should go to the East Palace first. When everyone calms down their grievances in the future, we will welcome you to resume your restoration. After saying that, they took out the petition from all the officials and gave it to them.
sky.
Without waiting for the emperor to say more, the lieutenants rushed the emperor, the queen, and more than ten concubines into a cart and escorted them directly to Shaoyang Courtyard. They closed the gate and locked it with molten iron. Only a hole was made in the corner of the wall.
Bring food inside.
After the emperor was imprisoned, the middle-ranking officials appointed the prince to supervise the country, and then ascended the throne and killed Mu Wang Li Yi, Si Tianjian Hu Xiulin and countless other dissatisfied courtiers and relatives. In fact, the one they most wanted to kill was Cui Yin, who had conspired with the emperor.
, but Cui Yin had Xuanwu's full support, no one dared to make a hasty move. This hesitation gave Cui Yin a chance.
Cui Yin wrote a letter to contact Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Dongping County, and asked him to come in for reinforcements. Zhu Quanzhong was currently attacking Liu Rengong and Li Keyong on the battlefield in Hebei. The sudden appearance of a large army would definitely give his opponents a chance to breathe, so he was very hesitant. But his most trusted adviser
Jingxiang tried his best to encourage him to march to Chang'an. Jingxiang said: "Don't you know, Commander-in-Chief, that this is a God-given opportunity for the emperor to be in trouble, and it is a good time for Xuanwu to achieve hegemony. As long as Commander-in-Chief marches westward, his merits will be comparable to Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The safety of the commander-in-chief depends on Liu Jishu. They are just eunuchs, but they dare to imprison the emperor. If the commander-in-chief does not send troops to attack, how will he give orders to the princes in the future? What's more, if the young master is confirmed from now on, the power will definitely belong to the middle official, which is equivalent to taking over Tai Ah.
transfer it to others”
So Zhu Quanzhong decided to march westward with his troops and temporarily evacuate Hebei. Liu Rengong and Li Ke took advantage of this opportunity to take a breather.
With the power of Zhu Quanzhong's Xuanwu army marching westward, the city of Chang'an was filled with anxiety. All civil and military officials had their own thoughts and were waiting for the next move. Cui Yin once again used the strategy of "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron" and showed it to Zuo Shen with Zhu Quanzhong's secret letter.
Sun Dezhao, the commander of the Ce Army. The Shence Army was led by lieutenants on the left and right, but it was the generals who actually led the troops. Sun Dezhao was the general in charge of the Shence Army. After he saw Zhu Quanzhong's secret message that he was determined to march to Chang'an, he was immediately shaken.
, decided to raise troops anyway.
In the first month of the new year, on Yiyou day, Sun Dezhao launched an attack and killed all the eunuchs such as Liu Jishu, Wang Zhongxian, Xue Qixi, Wang Yanfan and so on. Cui Yin then welcomed the emperor in Shaoyang courtyard and returned to the Changle gate tower to restore his throne. The prince was kidnapped by the eunuchs and had to live alone.
So he returned to the East Palace and became King of Virtue.
The emperor once again experienced great joys and sorrows in life, so he changed the year of Tianfu, and this year was the first year of Tianfu. Naturally, important ministers who had made great contributions should be rewarded, so Cui Yin became Situ, Zhu Quanzhong became King Dongping of Jin Dynasty, and Sun Dezhao became the governor of Jinghai.
The envoy, and because Li Maozhen did not follow the Zhongguan in this incident, King Qi added.
Cui Yin wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to obtain the military power of the Forbidden Army, but Li Maozhen refused. He was very close to Chang'an and directly led his troops to Beijing to demand that the emperor's general power be returned to the Bei Division. His purpose was of course obvious.
It was to let Han Quanjie, who had always been respectful to him, take charge of the Imperial Army. The emperor had no choice but to make Han Quanjie the lieutenant of the left Shence Army, and Zhang Yanhong the right lieutenant of the Shence Army. So the city of Chang'an was peaceful again.
The Chang'an Incident, which shocked both China and foreign countries, led to two important results and had a huge impact on the general trend of the world.
First, Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Dongping County, finally removed the word "county" from his title. In this incident, he resolutely followed the king's actions and won a great reputation for the Xuanwu Army. Although he did not enter Chang'an in the end, he was still among the army.
On the way to the west, because of the banner of righteousness that he held high, all the governors, governors, and generals along the way all offered their land and sincerity. If the previous Xuanwu was only the first among the vassals, then starting from the first year of Tianfu, this rash
The rising hero finally ushered in the heyday of his career and became the de facto overlord of the vassals.
Secondly, with every gain there must be a loss. While winning the world's prestige, the newly promoted King Dongping lost the best opportunity to completely conquer Hebei and defeat Hedong. As long as he adds a slight push with a finger, he will be defeated.
Liu Rengong and Li Keyong, who immediately fell to the ground, got a precious chance to breathe. They immediately reorganized their defense lines and formed a very tacit offensive and defensive alliance. At least as far as Lu Long was concerned, they temporarily eliminated the huge threat from the south and used
There is a not-so-nice word to describe it, which is called "being able to survive". Perhaps Zhu Quanzhong thought that this "survival" was not a big deal, but it was too precious for all the generals in Lulong Town, including Li Chengzhong.
If we have to add another far-reaching factor, then Han Quanjie's coming to power may be regarded as one. Li Chengzhong, who was far away in the Bohai Sea, had no idea that in a big circle, the man who had been with him a few months ago
The eunuch who passed down orders while drinking and chatting happily has now entered the central government. At this time, he has no energy to care about everything that happens in the Central Plains. As long as Lulong is safe for the time being, as for Chang'an - for now, it has nothing to do with him.
No.
Li Chengzhong was distressed in the palace wall of the Upper Stable, and the matter he was distressed about was another vassal state of the Tang Dynasty - Silla.
