Chapter 72 22. Legendary Li Bi

Regarding the defeat of Li Tan's reactionary clique, the history books are vague and ambiguous.It's not that anyone is hiding something, it's mainly because the objective conditions at the time didn't allow it.In troubled times, the focus of the work is to siege the city, kill people and set fires. When the situation stabilized later, Suzong Li Heng led the Tang army into Chang'an, and historians rushed to find historical materials to supplement this period of history.But at this time, the only person who could be found was Suzong Li Heng, and almost all the others died in the rebellion.

It was Prime Minister Li Mi who came to Suzong to collect historical materials, and he was the only one who had the right to ask about this matter. Li Mi asked: Your Majesty, why are you so nervous, why did you kill the third son Li Tan?That's your own son. When Li Heng heard about it, he burst into tears and said, "It's not that I, the father, don't care about my son. I really don't. It's all because Li Tan is so shameless. He jumped up and down, formed a clique for personal gain, and tried to murder his elder brother Li Yu, the king of Guangping." , so Prince Li Yu repeatedly begged me to destroy the third reactionary clique, but the palms and backs of my hands were full of flesh. No matter how distressed I was, I still put the national interests first...

Li Bidao: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. I just came back from Prince Li Yu, and the prince said that it didn't matter at all.The boss and the third child have a strong relationship. The third child is the right-hand man of the boss, how could you let him get rid of him?What's more, ever since you killed the third child, the eldest child was so frightened that he woke up in the middle of the night every day, calling his father to spare his life, and saving his life was... Li Heng wiped away his tears and asked: How is Aiqing's digestive function in the stomach recently?I have a secret recipe that can cure indigestion and diarrhea...

Li Mi shook his head: "Your Majesty, you have committed the old habit again. When you are talking about business, you will change the topic and talk about it without understanding. This is a typical case of talking about him."Don't think I don't know, it was Queen Zhang's idea to kill the third son Li Tan. I think you were eaten to death by this little cousin. You wanted to kill the third son first, then kill the boss, and then let Queen Zhang's son die. Ascended the throne as the emperor.But there is one thing I want to remind you, the child born by Empress Zhang is too young, and I can't wait for the little thing to grow up, hehe, the power structure is about to change...

It is implied in the book that this Li Mi is a famous legendary figure in history.This person has been known for five hundred years, and the monks in the temple insisted that he was a special agent sent by Buddhism, while the old Taoists in the temple believed that he was a master of stability sent by Taoism.In fact, he didn't intend to get involved in the common affairs of the world. It was Suzong Li Heng who pleaded hard and begged him to come out to settle the chaos. According to the history books, Suzong first begged Li Mi to be the prime minister, but Li Mi categorically refused, so Suzong also begged Li Mi to be the commander of the army and the marshal's mansion, but Li Mi refused.Li Heng begged bitterly, explaining again and again that this was for "relief in difficult times", and promised Li Mi that once the world was restored to peace, he would let Li Mi go far away.

According to historical records, once Li Mi was squatting in front of the sand table to study the battle situation, and Suzong carefully peeled pears with a knife behind him and gave them to Li Mi to eat.Several sons of Suzong also wanted to eat pears. Suzong stared at him: Are you worthy of being compared with Mr. Li?Without Mr. Li, you would have died in the gutter somewhere... In short, this Li Biduan is amazing.What he said is a certainty, and it will be fulfilled soon. Li Mi's words were first fulfilled in the Supreme Emperor Li Longji. It is said that Li Longji, the Supreme Emperor, has been cruelly attacked by his son Suzong since he regained Chang'an. His cronies were dismissed and exiled, and Suzong never met Li Longji again. .But Li Longji was used to doing whatever he wanted and lawlessness, and now that he was suddenly deprived of power, he couldn't adapt no matter what, and ended up dying of depression.

Li Longji died on the front foot, and Suzong Li Heng had difficulty breathing on the back foot, and his eyes were full of stars——half of the reason why his body was so bad was to blame Li Longji.Li Longji is too shameless, he lived to be seventy-eight years old, and he squatted on the emperor's throne for forty years. He was the person who squatted on the throne for the longest time in the Tang Empire.When Li Longji died, Suzong Li Heng was already fifty-two years old. Look at this poor child, if he hadn't switched to Lingwu and became emperor himself, he might not survive Li Longji until he died.

In short, in 762 AD, the two emperors of the Tang Empire died, Li Longji died on the fifth day of April, and Li Heng died on the eighteenth day of April, only thirteen days apart. The difference is that Li Longji died of depression, while Li Heng died of fright. How can a well-behaved living person be scared to death? Because Li Heng was seriously ill, Queen Zhang panicked, why?Because the last time Li Tan's reactionary group was destroyed, he was questioned by Li Mi, so Suzong blamed Queen Zhang.After all, Queen Zhang was a woman, so she was afraid, so she pushed on the eunuch Li Fuguo, and ended up with Li Fuguo.

After all, a woman is a woman, and when it comes to critical moments, her mind will be confused.Empress Zhang offended Li Fuguo, so she wanted to form a joint camp with Prince Li Yu to destroy Li Fuguo's reactionary clique.But the prince Li Yu is a ghost and a ghost, and he is determined not to participate in this matter.Queen Zhang went to find Li Heng's second son, Li Xi, King of Yue.Li Xi is rather careless. He promised to form a united front with Empress Zhang to destroy the reactionary group headed by Prince Li Yu and eunuch Li Fuguo, and all power belongs to the second... We are discussing here, I don't want that eunuch Li Fuguo, fearless, even when Li Heng was seriously ill, he led a soldier to rush into the palace suddenly, and beheaded Queen Zhang.Empress Zhang was so frightened that she ran to Li Heng's bed, grabbed Li Heng desperately, and shouted: Husband, get up, there is a thief at home...

Li Heng said in a drowsy voice: If a thief comes, call the police... After finishing speaking, he died. In fact, Suzong Li Heng was dragged to death by Queen Zhang. After the death of the two emperors, the situation in the imperial court suddenly changed. Empress Zhang and Yue Wang Li Xi were both executed.From now on, Daizong Li Yu has the final say in this world.
