Chapter 10 Chapter 10: Li Chongfu Conspires Against Zhang Lingjun in Luoyang
Liu Youqiu fell to the ground with a plop, kneeling in front of the young emperor, "How difficult the country is, the emperor is benevolent and filial, if he wants to carry forward the virtues of Yao and Shun's abdication, let Xiang Wang take the heavy responsibility on his behalf, it would be the best!"
Taiping nodded, drew up the imperial edict, and spread the matter first.Taiping took a look and didn't know anything. The young emperor, who was looking left and right on the throne, let out a long breath, stepped forward, and put a hand on the young emperor's shoulder, "The heart of the world belongs to the king, this Children are not supposed to sit!" After speaking, Taiping stretched out an arm, lifted the young emperor, and helped him down easily. (in "New Book of Tang")
On this day, Tang Ruizong Li Dan ascended the throne again, visited Chengtian Gate in person, pardoned the world, and restored the young emperor Li Chongmao as King Wen.It is quite sad that when Li Dan became emperor, he had to establish a prince.The eldest son, Li Chengqi, and the third son, Li Longji, one is the eldest son and the other is the son of meritorious service. Li Dan is very troubled about which one to choose.According to common sense, it is necessary to establish Li Chengqi, but the story of his grandfather told Li Dan that he would kill someone if he did so.
On the same day, Song Wang Li Chengqi and Linzi Wang Li Longji had a quarrel.
Li Chengqi was the first to appear on the stage. He found Li Dan, kowtowed first, and then cried: "If the country is stable, I should be appointed! If the country is not stable, I must be appointed as a minister of merit! Now the credit is all the third brother's. To be the crown prince with such an embarrassing face, the people of the world are disappointed, Your Majesty! I dare not stand above King Ping, and in times of crisis, the virtuous will not be the chief!"
Li Chengqi cried like killing a pig, but Li Dan insisted that Qingshan would not relax and insisted on making him the prince.In the end, Comrade Li Chengqi fainted gloriously, because he had been crying and howling in front of Li Dan for several days.In order to change his father's mind, Li Chengqi mobilized Li Longji's people to write a letter with his own people, and the letter grasped a central idea: We are not convinced by Li Chengqi, but we are only convinced by Li Longji. Your Majesty insists on establishing the King of Song. Be careful of Xuanwu next to Daming Palace Door!
It's too ruthless, even if Li Dan disagrees.
Li Longji became the prince, and Li Dan was still very satisfied.
Li Dan's new official took office three fires. First, he restored the title of Queen Zetian Dasheng to Queen of Heaven, and then pursued Li Xian, the king of Yong, as Prince Zhanghuai (not easy), and made Li Chengqi, king of Song, the governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Yangzhou. .After chasing Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun's posthumous posthumous titles, the coffins were smashed and the tombs were broken.Yao Yuanzhi, the governor of Xuzhou, was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the third rank of Tongzhongshu, Wei Sili, the governor of Songzhou, Xiao Zhizhong, the governor of Xuzhou, was the order of Zhongshu, Zhao Yanzhao, the governor of Jiangzhou, was the minister of Zhongshu, and Cui Shi, the governor of Huazhou, was the minister of the Ministry of officials. It's a matter of peace.Li Chengyi, king of Hengyang, was made king of Shen, Li Longfan, king of Baling, was made king of Qi, and Li Longye, king of Pengcheng, was made king of Xue;
Yao Yuanzhi also has another name, Yao Chong.
Why didn't Cui Shi get the punishment he deserved?
The reason is that this person is very talented, and he is a bus among men, anyone can get on it. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Mr. Cui had both sides.Cui Shi once rode a horse on Tianjin Bridge and recited poems, "A spring outing in Linyuan, Luoyang City is full of flowers." At this time, a middle-aged man who was also handsome but not as handsome as Cui Shi, just passed by, heard this sentence, Enviously said: "This sentence is effective, this position is available, but his age is out of reach!" That is to say, I can write his sentence, and I have his official position, but he is so young, I can't catch up!
A jealous middle-aged man named Zhang Shuo.
Cui Shi doesn't believe in love, so he belonged to Wan'er before, and he was also peaceful.The hero Cui Shi, who made great contributions to serving Taiping, was retained and entrusted with important tasks.Mr. Cui is a person unwilling to be lonely. After escaping the disaster and returning to the court, he gave Taiping a pillow and made his father a high official.Compared with Cui Shi, Zheng Yin, who once attached to Wu Sansi with him, is really not so lucky.
Zheng Yin's talent is no worse than Cui Shi's. He won the Juren at the age of seventeen, but he has been unknown since then.The only chance he had to make a fortune was when he brazened himself to curry favor with Lai Junchen.After Lai Junchen's death, he flattered Zhang Yizhi; after Zhang Yizhi's death, he flattered Empress Wei; after Queen Wei died, he began to flatter Taiping.
So, he was kicked, and the specific reason can only be found in the student's graduation photo.You will find that Zheng Yin is an ugly man with a short beard (ugly and bearded), it doesn't matter if he is ugly, but Zheng Yin has always been psychopathic because of the contemptuous eyes of others.
Because of his poor looks, Zheng Yin suffers here because no one likes him right now, so he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima.
Zheng Yin, who is used to playing tricks, arrived in Jiangzhou and felt that he could not be idle. For the sake of his future, he secretly went to Junzhou (Danjiangkou, Hubei).
Because in Junzhou, Qiao Wang Li Chongfu was plotting to kill Queen Wei.
Everyone knows what happened later, Li Longji took the lead, everyone supported Li Dan as the emperor, and Zheng Yin's plan went bankrupt ahead of schedule.Zheng Yin quit. He and Zhang Lingjun from Luoyang persuaded Li Chongfu, "My lord, you are the eldest son of the late emperor (Li Xian), and you should be the emperor. Although the king of Xiang has meritorious service, his name and words are not right. You should not preempt the late emperor. Jiangshan. Let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty does not know something. The people of Luoyang look forward to your Majesty returning to preside over political affairs every day. If your Majesty can sneak into Luoyang, mobilize the left and right battalions to kill the left guards, occupy the eastern capital, and then take the west Shanzhou, take Henan and Hebei from the east, and the world will surely be settled!"
Liar?
It's a lie!
But Li Chongfu actually believed it.
Under the leadership of Zheng Yin and Zhang Lingjun, dozens of people began to rebel.Li Dan's edict just came, asking Zheng Yin to be the governor of Yuanzhou. After Zheng Yin obeyed the order, he suddenly ran to Luoyang and stayed in Luoyang.He drafted the imperial edict to establish Li Chongfu as emperor: Li Chongfu was established as emperor, and the Yuan was changed to Zhongyuan Kefu.Respect the emperor as the emperor's uncle, and take Wen Wang as the emperor's younger brother.Of course, Zheng Yin put the most important point at the end: take Zheng Yin as the prime minister of the left, know the minister of the Ministry of internal and external culture, and know the affairs of the Ministry of officials.
A few days later, Li Chongfu, who had been fooled miserably, and Zhang Lingjun, who claimed to be from Luoyang, led the dozens of rebels. They pretended to have a secret order.However, probably these dozens of people created too much momentum, and the people of Luoyang City stood aside to watch the excitement.When the Luoyang county magistrate heard that there was an accident, he rode a horse and went to Li Chongfu's mansion to inquire.Before the county magistrate left the ground, a group of thugs from Li Chongfu rushed over, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.Comrade county magistrate paled in fright, rode his horse and ran away.The county magistrate didn't go back to the county government, but ran directly to Luoyang to stay there.
When the left-behind official heard that King Qiao rebelled, he thought it was a huge scale, so he was shocked and packed his luggage in a panic. Then, he announced the matter to everyone and ran away by himself.The county government and the left behind are gone, and Li Chongfu's army has grown rapidly, recruiting three or four hundred gangsters in half a day.Everyone was afraid of a large army, and everyone who had to run away, only Luo Governor Shi resolutely stayed, and wanted to lead his troops to attack Li Chongfu.Unfortunately for Li Chongfu, the person on the other side is Cui Riyong who kills without batting an eyelid.
However, what is worth celebrating is that Li Chongfu did not meet Cui Riyong, but met Li Yong, the censor who stayed in Taiwan, a censor who had no soldiers.
However, Li Yong still looked contemptuously at this group of young people who didn't like to read books and newspapers, rode his horse and fled, and ran to the camp.Li Yong was a smart man. He yelled to the soldiers in the camp: "The king of Qiao was unfaithful to the late emperor, and today he ventured into the eastern capital again. There must be chaos. Everyone, wait here, wait for your meritorious service, and enjoy the glory and wealth!" Then , Li Yong ran to see the Imperial City Envoy again and asked him to close all the city gates.
As Li Yong expected, Li Chongfu led hundreds of people to the camp to recruit troops.Li Chongfu felt good about himself. When he came to the camp, he was about to introduce himself, but found that the soldiers in the camp took up bows and arrows to shoot him.He shouted: "I am King Qiao!" Everyone shouted: "That's right!" Li Chongfu ran away with his head in his arms, "Didn't you say that everyone supports me? What's going on?"
It didn't matter so much, everyone ran to the left door with their heads in their hands, trying to find the left behind important soldiers.
Unfortunately, the gate is closed.
Why is the door closed?
Because brother Chongfu's momentum is really too "huge", the left behind were scared away.
Li Chongfu's momentum was huge, relying on his momentum, he was furious, causing people to burn the door.Before it was ignited, the soldiers and horses from Zuo Tunying chased after them and started fighting with the young rebels.At this moment, Li Chongfu carried forward his charisma, robbed a horse and ran away regardless of the safety of others.I don't know where this guy wants to go, but someone reported that he saw a guy in a fancy dress, riding a horse, heading for the valley in Luoyang City in a panic.This person is Li Chongfu.
The next day, Li Chongfu collapsed from exhaustion from running too hard.The remaining officers and soldiers regrouped and went to search, and finally found him beside a large ditch.Seeing this, Li Chongfu was in a hurry to find his way, fell into the water and drowned.Qiao Wang Li Chongfu's glorious uprising failed, and his heroic deeds infected two people: the first is Zhang Lingjun, who is calm and calm; the second is Zheng Yin, who has been scared out of the shit.
Zheng Yin really didn't know what to do. He had only seen Lai Junchen kill people, but he had never experienced the feeling of being killed.So, he thought of dressing up as a man. He combed his hair, put it into a bun, put on a woman's skirt, and hid in a car.
Comrade Zheng Yin was still dressed like this when he was captured because he couldn't leave the city.The beautiful skirt made his look even more wretched.When Zheng Yin saw someone holding a knife against him, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word. When he was interrogated, he just trembled, and he said whatever was asked.Zhang Lingjun couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at Zheng Yin with contempt and disgust, "It's no wonder that you are undefeated when you work with this kind of person!" Amidst the crowd watching, Zhang Lingjun and Zheng Yin, who were wearing skirts, were beheaded at the Dongdu Market .
Zi (not necessarily which one) said: "Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs."
Remember, remember!
The positions of Li Dan and Li Chongfu are actually very embarrassing, but Li Dan won the hearts of the people, and everything is not embarrassing.Li Dan adores his younger sister (who is already forty-five years old) Princess Taiping very much. Wu Zetian once said that other people are like that, but Taiping is the most like her.Taiping has always been very proud. She has contributed to the killing of Erzhang and the crusade against Empress Wei.When Li Dan discusses things, he has his own ideas but doesn't like to make conclusions. He often asks: "Have you discussed this matter with Taiping?"
The prime minister said it had been discussed.Li Dan asked again: "Where is He Saburo?"
The prime minister said no.Li Dan said: "Saburo may have good suggestions, you should go to him and ask."
In my opinion, Li Dan is not as incompetent as in the legend, he is definitely an emperor who has been underestimated all the time, let us see his performance.
On the first day of November in the first year of Jingyun (710 A.D.), under the arrangement of Li Dan, Yao Yuanzhi became the order of Zhongshu.
