Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Xue Dingshan scolds the grain dealer Lai Junchen and angrily blasts Wei Suizhong

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were completely collapsed by Yan Zhiwei, and Wu Zetian was also mad with anger. Mochuo took the opportunity to kill from the southern court of Heisha, and sent troops to attack Jingnan, Pingdi, Qingyi and other troops. He also asked Yan Zhiwei to issue an appeal, counting Wu Zetian's five major crimes: First, the grain you gave me cannot grow (it is saline-alkali land); Second, the gold and silver you gave me should not be eaten or drunk (shameless); Third, you took away the red robe I gave to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty after returning to the court (you deserve it);

Fourth, the fabrics you gave me are all inferior products (this is also the reason); Fifth, I want to marry my daughter to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I am not a villain of the Wu family. I am not in the right family. You lied to me that Wu Yanxiu is the prince, what a lie! I will send troops from now on to attack Hebei! Wu Zetian sent 450,000 troops to kill Mochuo.Mo Chuai turned his head, changed the direction of the battle, and entered Feihu County. A few days later, he captured Dingzhou, killed the governor Sun Yangao, and massacred thousands of people.This place is now Laiyuan, Hebei, which is already a pure Central Plains area, and Dingzhou, which suffered a massacre, is located two hundred miles south of Laiyuan County.

In just three days, Feihu and Dingzhou fell one after another, shaking the capital.Empress Wu Zetian issued an edict: "Turkic Mo Chuo, renamed Zhan Chuo!" Yan Zhiwei came, following Mo Chuan's army. He ran to Zhaozhou to surrender, because Zhaozhou suffered a massacre, so there must be few generals.But when he arrived in Zhaozhou (Zhao County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei), Yan Zhiwei found that the situation was far from what he imagined.The gates of Zhaozhou City were closed tightly, banners fluttered in the wind on the walls, and the guards stood there solemnly, showing no trace of fear.

The Turkic people were unable to siege the city, and they collectively began to dance "Long Live Music" representing the Li and Tang Dynasty, which means that we are here to appease everyone for Li and Tang, and we are all at odds with Wu Zetian.In Zhaozhou City, General Chen Lingying was mad by Yan Zhiwei's actions.But seeing Comrade Yan Zhiwei, holding hands with the Turkic people, dancing in the city, his expression was still very happy.The guard yelled: "Shang Shu, you have a high position and a high reputation. Don't you feel ashamed to dance with the thief today!"

Yan Zhiwei babbled and sang: "As a last resort, I am me, who is easy? Listen to it, this is "Long Live Music" yay..." (Zhi Weiwei groaned: "I have no choice but to , "Long Live Music.") Zhaozhou was still captured. Gao Rui, the governor of Zhaozhou, refused to surrender. He and his wife swallowed fake death pills together.After the Turks opened the city gate, the first thing they looked for was the governor.Someone saw a man and a woman died in the government, wearing the clothes of the governor, and cheered and pulled him to ask for credit.After waking up, the governor and his wife saw Mo Chuai in front of them, holding a golden lion belt and a purple robe in their hands, and said to them in a persuasive tone: "If you surrender, you will be an official. If you don't surrender, you will die!"

Gao Rui glanced at his wife, "Are you afraid?" The wife said: "Repay the country's kindness, today!" Gao Rui is dead, and Gao Jiong, the important minister, politician, and strategist who made Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty immortal, if anyone knows, he should be gratified to have such a descendant! Zhaozhou is over. Next stop, Taiyuan! Some people wonder, what about the more than 400,000 troops sent by Wu Zetian? The answer is: not recruited. The reason is very simple, everyone is unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Wu Zhou, only willing to sacrifice their lives for Li Tang.The Khitan's slogan was to rescue the Luling King, and the Turks also said it was for the Tang Dynasty, so the common people understood the truth.And because of Wu Yizong's support, everyone resolutely refused to join the army.Now, not to mention the 400,000 army, there is not even a 4,000 army. Even the 3,000 people have no money to buy food and come to the army to eat.

The emperor's heir, Li Dan, saw that the world was in danger, and he had recruited less than a thousand soldiers in more than a month.So, he made a seemingly useless move - abdication.He announced that he would cede the position of emperor's heir to Li Xian, king of Luling, and let Li Xian be the crown prince.In the eyes of ordinary people, this is really the most unreliable move, but Wu Zetian agreed.The reason is that Li Xian once represented the Li Tang Dynasty.Two days later, Li Xian became Marshal of Hebei Province. All of a sudden, the whole world gathered to respond, and the recruited soldiers broke through the 50,000 mark in an instant.The clamor for returning my land in the Tang Dynasty was loud, and the people were surging, but from the beginning to the end, Li Xian didn't show up at all.

On September 21st of the first year of the Holy Calendar (698 AD), Generalissimo Li Xian did not appear in front of everyone, and was replaced by Deputy Marshal Di Renjie.Under Di Renjie's tent, the right Cheng Song Xuanshuang (Chang Shi), the right Taichung Cheng Cui Xian (Sima), the left Taichung Cheng Jixu (supervisor), An Dongdao Jinglue, Zuo Weiwei General Xue Na.General Xue Na, style name Dingshan, son of Xue Rengui, fought against Turks and Tubo several times, and made great achievements in battle. Xue Dingshan was once framed by cruel officials. Lai Junchen took bribes and asked Xue Dingshan to give thousands of shi official food to businessmen.The businessman came to the door and said that I gave some convenience to the censor a few days ago, so the censor asked me to do some business for the country, and today I came to fetch food.Xue Dingshan despised the businessman, and only said something like this: "Put your mother's stinky fart!" Fortunately, Xue Dingshan was immediately reused, and the army bound for Turks expanded rapidly under the leadership of Di Renjie and these people. It went from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand in a few days.During this period, Su Weiwei, the Minister of Heavenly Officials, followed the trajectory that Pei Xingjian had said, and was successfully elected as the Minister of Fengge and Tongping Zhangshi (Prime Minister).

Someone asked: "Prime Minister Wei Wei, do you think it is better for the Li family to be the crown prince or the Wu family for the crown prince?" Su Weiwei said: "This is good, that is good, both are good." People think that Su Weiwei is ambiguous, so they gave him the nickname of "Su Moling". Mo Chuai had more than 10,000 men, women and children captured from Zhaozhou (Su Weiwei's hometown) and surrounding areas of Dingzhou, carrying quite a burden, Mo Chuai thought that it would be easier to kill them all.As a result, the Turks went on a killing spree in the wilderness, slaughtering all these people, leaving aside the corpses, and fled all the way northward from the Fifth Circuit.

What Mo Chuo didn't expect was that someone would dare to chase his hundreds of thousands of troops.Tang Jun chased them for hundreds of miles, but he didn't let go.Mo Chuo was a little afraid of this man named Di Renjie. He returned to Mobei, rested his army, expanded his territory, and stopped attacking the Central Plains for the time being. He was afraid that Di Renjie would have an army of 100,000, and he would really be wiped out.As for Yan Zhiwei, there was no longer any use value. When he escaped from Zhaozhou, Mochuo kicked him out of the army like a calf and told him to go back to Luoyang.

The military situation has temporarily eased. Yan Zhiwei died terribly. He was shot to death by officials in the south of Tianjin Bridge, and then his flesh was dug up, and his bones were smashed to pieces. The ruthless officials started to act, weaving charges of fellow party members and killing innocent people. Lai Junchen was demoted because of trivial matters, and among the cruel officials, there was an extra general who presided over the overall situation, and this person was Wu Yizong.Wu Yizong organized rebellion against others, and there were more than a dozen famous people in this frame-up.For example, Fengge's servant Tong Pingzhang is Li Yuanyuan, Xia Guan's servant is Tongping Zhang, Sun Yuanheng, Zhitian official's servant is Shi Baozhong and Liu Qi, Zhong Zhou is in charge, Jingzhou governor Wang Yu, supervisory censor Wang Zhu, etc. Wu Yizong was killed. The person who was tortured by Emperor Wu Yizong was Liu Sili, and he was the governor of Jizhou. This position was arranged by Tianguan Shilang and Fenggesheren Wang Jie. Wang Fu and Wang Zhu are both sons of Wang Fumin and brothers of Wang Bo. Wu Yizong was very satisfied, because he hated the Wang family brothers very much.The other 33 people who were implicated were all celebrities in the country.All of them were tortured by Wu Yizong, and the whole family was killed.In addition, among the thirty-six families, most of the relatives and old relatives who could not reach the eight poles were framed by Wu Yizong, and more than a thousand people were exiled and killed. Wu Yizong would naturally be praised for breaking such a big case. Yuan Chen was not Wu Yizong, but Ji Xu, who told Lai Junchen what happened, and Lai Junchen played again, Wu Zetian asked Wu Yizong to interrogate, and it was his head.The most unbalanced person is Lai Junchen. Now that he has been demoted, how can he give credit to Wu Yizong?But Wu Yizong didn't dare to sue, so Lai Junchen seriously wrote a memorial, gathered evidence of the crime, and sued Ji Xu. Ji Xu was very good at talking, so after he was accused, he immediately ran to Wu Zetian to show his loyalty. Wu Zetian spared him and let him try the case as a cruel official, and became a colleague with Lai Junchen.Lai Junchen had very good taste. After he was demoted, he robbed the wives and daughters of his colleagues for his own enjoyment. What was even more perverted was that he also raped his mother. After being recalled, Wu Zetian gifted him ten beauties.Lai Junchen's taste is too high, and ordinary women can't fall into his eyes. He prefers a maidservant of the chief of the Western Regions, Ashina Huseruo.Lai Junchen didn't like to discuss with others, so he simply sued Hu Seluo for treason, killed all the chief's relatives, then ran to kowtow in front of Wu Zetian, and asked the maid to come over. There were too many people coming to Junchen Luozhi, and he almost played all the civil and military affairs of the whole court.In the end, no one could be framed, so he invented a dart selection method.Longmen is the place where the cruel official party meets. They put a large stone under the door, with the names of all officials written on the stone, and throw darts (or watermelon rinds, small stones) at will. Just kill anyone.The cruel officials are very dedicated, and anyone who hits them will be framed to death without exception. It's fine to ignore life, but that name, except for Wu Zetian, everyone else has it! Come to Junchen to play big. After he played with the beauties from the Western Regions, he thought Duan Jian's wife, Wang Shi, was pretty, so he married a wife according to the decree (fake imperial decree), and snatched other people's wives into his own bed.After getting married, Lai Junchen invited Wang's family to dinner. It was considered to be at the same table with the nobles in Taiyuan, talking about love, saying something, and saving face for himself.Because he was afraid that the Wang family would look down on him, he didn't send an invitation to his friend Wei Suizhong, because this man is also a thick-faced, black-hearted, extremely dirty guy. On this day, when Lai Junchen was entertaining guests for dinner, Wei Suizhong poured himself down at Lai Junchen's door uninvited. After Lai Junchen heard about it, he asked his servants to stop this shameful guy. Unexpectedly, Wei Suizhong became aggressive and rushed into the house. Seeing that Lai Junchen was having dinner with his wife's family, he became even angrier, pointing at Lai Junchen and the Wang family and yelling at him.Lai Junchen was so angry that he jumped up and had Wei Suizhong tied up and dragged to the courtyard to gag.Wei Suizhong kept his mouth shut, scolding Wang's daughter for being shameless, Duan Jian for being a mule, and Lai Junchen for being a bastard with a mother but no father. He knew at a glance that the little lady couldn't support Junchen's tortoise! Therefore, after Wei Suizhong left, Wang was ashamed and ashamed, and hanged himself. It doesn't matter to Lai Junchen, he is shameless, at most he will be angry with his colleagues for refuting his face, but he will not be angry at the crown and become a beauty.He bullied Duan Jian once, and wanted to bully Duan Jian a second time.Because Duan Jian's eldest wife, Wang Shi, is very beautiful, and her concubine is not bad either.So, he asked someone to send a letter to Duan Jian, implying that he fell in love with this concubine, and he wanted it.Duan Jian was terrified and offered it with both hands.Wei Suizhong is not a good person either. Seeing that Lai Junchen was not injured, he was very angry.That time at Longmen, Lai Junchen threw stones at people's names, hitting Wu Chengsi. Lai Junchen's head was probably kicked into a concussion by a donkey, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Wu Youning, Wu Youyi... Can these people be messed with?Lai Junchen believes that not only can he be provoked, but also Princess Taiping and the two brothers (who will appear later, big shots) can be drawn together. Rebellion, huh, huh! Brain-dead is no longer enough to describe Lai Junchen, you can't deal with people who play too much.Wei Suizhong was overjoyed. He found Wu Chengsi and said, "King Wei, do you know who Lai Junchen is going to sue this time?" Wu Chengsi asked, "Who?" Wei Suizhong said, "It's you!" All told to Wu Chengsi and others, Wu Chengsi was shocked, contacted people surnamed Wu, Princess Taiping, and Er Zhang, and together they sued Lai Junchen first. Lai Junchen has meritorious service, but Wu Zetian doesn't want to kill him.That day, she was riding a horse in the garden of the imperial palace. It happened that the person who led her horse was Ji Xu, who had been killed so badly back then.Wu Zetian asked casually: "What are outsiders talking about recently?" Ji Xu was clever and replied: "Outsiders say that His Majesty governs the country well. The only dissatisfaction is that Lai Junchen's death penalty cannot be approved." Wu Zetian pondered and said: "A gentleman has contributed to the country, it's not like I haven't thought about it." "Your Majesty is too busy to take care of the affairs of your subjects. Yu Anyuan told Huizhen (Li Zhen) of rebellion, and then he really rebelled. It is only now that Yu Anyuan has become the governor of the state. Lai Junchen is different. He failed to get together, falsely framed goodness, bribed a mountain of bribes, and blocked his way, he is really a thief of the country, what a pity he did!" Sip silently: call father. Yan Zhiwei: Dad!
