Seeing Old Man Xie's appearance, Li Xuan, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, felt much better instantly. You are so mysterious. If I don't give you some clues, don't think that I am talking to that old man who cheated my son.
Dad is also a bitch.
Li Xuan doesn’t know what kind of crisis the Tang Dynasty will face in the future?
He knows this better than anyone else, otherwise why would he put so much effort into building a musketeer team and establishing a professional army?
Isn't it just to resist the Ming army's attack? In order to prevent the Ming army from entering the mountain, he is also preparing to lead the army out of the mountain to contain the Ming army in Longhua Town and Zhengtai County.
Li Xuan already has a complete plan for what to do next. At least he already has a complete plan for what to do in the next few months. He doesn't need to listen to this old hunchback's nonsense.
So he had no intention of listening to what this old man Xie said, but nodded to Liu Bagou again.
After receiving Li Xuan's prompt, Liu Bagou also retracted his previous silent expression. Instead, he turned around and began to ask old man Xie. The question he asked was very simple, that is, what is the request of the Tang Dynasty now?
If you are a virtuous person, are you willing to serve me in the Tang Dynasty? If you are willing to submit, you will definitely receive high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Although Li Xuan didn't want to listen to old man Xie's nonsense and show off the three strategies of upper, middle and lower in romance novels, he still wanted to recruit this captive scholar.
He doesn't want a bandit leader like Chief Li, and to be honest, ordinary warriors are of little use, but people who can read and write are still very valuable to the Tang Dynasty today, even if they are not allowed to be cabinet officials.
Just letting him be a teacher to enlighten the officers in the new army will play a great role.
After hearing Liu Bagou's words of solicitation, Old Man Xie was a little disappointed that many of the words he prepared could not be used, but now this result is not what he wanted.
He had prepared a whole set of tricks before, in order to make Li Xuan value him, so as to save himself and his family's lives.
Now that Liu Bagou directly said the words of solicitation, he naturally agreed on the spot!
Moreover, his official position was not low, and he directly became the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty!
Hearing that he would become the Minister of Rites, he was frightened to death by old man Xie. He did not expect that he had just pretended to surrender and the other party gave him the official title of Minister of Rites.
This is the Minister of Rites. Although Old Man Xie does not know the detailed official structure of the Tang Dynasty yet, the Minister of Rites is a second-rank official in the imperial court.
From now on, when the officers and soldiers come in, won’t it be difficult for me, the ‘Pseudo Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty’, to defend myself?
After the court meeting ended, Li Xuan smiled as he watched old man Xie pushing down with the others worriedly.
Although it is impossible for my own Tang Dynasty to recruit real talents through normal channels, especially talents like scholars.
But if the normal method doesn't work, can other methods be used? Regardless of whether he is willing or not, give him a hat of a high official to wear first.
Regardless of whether he sincerely surrenders, it is not easy to get off the pirate ship of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Xuan is willing to let him get off the ship, then he has to ask the Ming army whether he will agree!
After solving the main leader of this group of bandits, Li Xuan was in a great mood!
The population has increased by more than 400, and another scholar has surrendered. It seems that the chances of success in his rebellion have increased by a considerable proportion!
If this continues, you may not be able to successfully rebel!
Tiantian, Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and the others stayed together to plot to sweep across Kyushu and overthrow the Dameng Dynasty. Li Xuan felt that he was about to become as funny as Liu Bagou and the others.
After all, anyone who is called the emperor every day, and calls him the Eternal Saint King every day, will have the illusion that he is really the emperor, and he is also the Eternal Saint King.
Just like what the German propaganda genius said in later generations, a lie told ten thousand times becomes the truth. As Li Xuan was ignored by Liu Bagou and the others, he gradually developed the illusion that he could really lead this group of bandits to defeat.
The Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Li Xuan himself would never admit that he was brainwashed by Liu Bagou and the others. He also had his own reasons.
I have been in this era for so long, and I am still wanted by the government as a rebel who will be executed by Ling Chi if caught.
Li Xuan knew very well that he had no way out. Either he would continue to rebel or he would be defeated and die. It was unlikely that he would be given a third way.
Even if he could escape and live anonymously at this time, is that kind of life Li Xuan wants?
Escape outside and remain anonymous and become an ordinary farmer? Make some small inventions and become a rich man?
If it was a year ago, when Li Xuan first came to this era, he would have chosen to escape without hesitation and live a peaceful life in anonymity.
However, one year later, Li Xuan no longer has this idea!
In the past year, Li Xuan's life has undergone great changes. From an ordinary person in later generations to an emperor with a population of 4,000, he wants beautiful wives and beautiful maids.
More importantly, he is no longer the puppet emperor with no real power a year ago, but an emperor with real power in the Tang Dynasty today.
Now he can't control the life and death of courtiers with just one word, but he is enough to influence and even control the direction of the rebellious ship of the Tang Dynasty.
This feeling of controlling the fate of thousands of people is like taking an aphrodisiac, so refreshing that even cold water can't extinguish the fire in my heart.
As for how long his rebellion can last, and how long the weak Tang Dynasty can persist before it is completely wiped out by the Ming army, to be honest, Li Xuan has selectively stopped worrying about this issue.
The worst case scenario is to imitate Xiang Yu, who draws his sword and kills himself after a defeat. Even if it doesn't work, he can throw a piece of white silk on the beam, put his head in and kick his legs, and the whole world will be quiet.
Anyway, I came to this time and space inexplicably, and I was able to enjoy the emperor's addiction and lead an army to fight in a few battles. This time-traveling career was exciting enough.
It's better than hiding in a small mountain village and farming like a coward!
Compared with before, Li Xuan now has less scruples and has strengthened his rebellious heart.
Well, to put it simply, Li Xuan's mentality is like that of a dead pig now. He is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. There is no better choice anyway, so he simply goes all the way to death. The worst is that he will die.
It can be said that Li Xuan, whose mentality has changed, is no longer the same as a normal person, and if his current state of being bent on rebellion were shown to experts, they would definitely say: This guy has gone crazy!
If Professor Yang saw him, he would definitely make a big move and say: "Here comes someone, tie him up and send him to the electroshock treatment room!"
Then he turned around and said to Queen Mother Bai: "Your child's illness is not serious. I'm afraid this treatment will need to be carried out many times. The discount price I'll give you today is that the original price of one electric shock is 250, and the one-time purchase of 250 electric shocks
I’ll give you a 20% discount!”
An ordinary mother would cry and shout: "Please Professor Yang, please save my son!"
But who is Queen Mother Bai? She would slap Professor Yang without saying a word: "You bastard, you dare to say that my son is crazy, and you want to shock my precious son. What's wrong with my son who wants to be the emperor?"
Isn’t he just an emperor? I’ll just let him be, what’s the big deal!”
Then he would ask his old lady to tie up Professor Yang, and maybe she would say: "What the hell, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
Fortunately, there is no such person as Professor Yang in the Tang Dynasty today. There are people like Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and others who are crazier than Li Xuan.
They are not only crazy, but also extremely ignorant. Otherwise, how could they have done such a thing as supporting Li Xuan as emperor in the first place.
You have to know that Li Xuan was forced to go where he is today. It was not that he wanted to rebel. His original intention was to be a rich young man. If nothing happened, he would just write a few sentences like "If people are just like when they first met"
I pretended to be cool with my poems, and while I was showing off, I flirted with the ladies. After I finished flirting with the ladies, I went to hook up with my mother-in-law. When I had time, I took a stroll along the Qinhuai River, and I tried to study the architectural style of each boat carefully in two or three years.
One pillow covers the oiran's jade arms, and one tastes the beauty's red lips!
As the saying goes, you have been among thousands of flowers, so pack them all up and take them away!
It's a pity that the fate didn't go as planned. The young master didn't take it seriously and instead became a rebel. Fortunately, this rebel hasn't turned out to be too bad even now.
Although he is often frightened, but now that he has a beauty in his arms and power in his hands, Li Xuan believes that he is still the emperor of the valley and is not losing money.
However, unlike Li Xuan who was forced to reach this point, Liu Bagou and the others actively sought death.
In the beginning, it was Liu Bagou, a Taoist priest who claimed to be a scholar, who deceived Li Erbi. Otherwise, how could the Tang Dynasty be created?
After the Tang Dynasty was annihilated by Su Jiakang and his men, Liu Bagou and Chen Tufu had every chance to disperse and flee like the others, but they did not do so. Instead, they took Li Xuan to find Fang Dongquan, who was also a second-rate man.
Huo, together with Liu Bagou and Chen Butcher, directly pushed Li Xuan to the throne of emperor.
It can be said that they brought all this on themselves.
Being able to do such ridiculous things proves that they are not only bold, but also extremely ignorant.
Being among this group of people, Li Xuan didn't have to worry about being seen as a lunatic by them, because they themselves were lunatics.
After dealing with these prisoners, Li Xuan ignored the village leader Li and Old Man Xie. In the following days, in addition to selecting a small number of new prisoners to join the new army, Li Xuan once again set his sights on Zeng Ziwen.
Zeng Ziwen has been captured by him for half a year. Zeng Ziyun had been holding on to his death before and refused to surrender. Li Xuan did not force him too much because Li Xuan felt that if he wanted this person to be able to play a role, let the Tang Dynasty
To get a general in the true sense, Zeng Ziyun had to be completely desperate and surrender sincerely.
After all, it’s useless to win over his people, you have to win over his heart!
Now that several months have passed since the last time he persuaded him to surrender, I don’t know if Zeng Ziyun has changed his mind!
