7. The King of Han sits in the office

Finally, Zhu Li made a ruthless voice and said to everyone that there was no problem at all. I immediately sent my family slaves to Jingyuan and Fengxiang to ask my subordinates to respond to the uprising.

So in Baihua Hall, the rebels reached an agreement and sent an envoy to Fengtian City first to deceive Li Shi and said, "Li Huaiguang's Changwu Army has been in the border area for a long time and does not understand the court etiquette. Because he did not receive rewards, he was angry and violated the palace, which caused Your Majesty to be frightened and moved westward. Now he is known to be on the wrong side. The Grand Marshal Zhu Li and Sikong Li Zhongchen have mediated everything and hoped that Your Majesty will return to the capital."

But Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie selected 10,000 infantry and cavalry, followed closely behind, preparing to attack Fengtian City and capture the emperor.

In addition, Zhu Li sent 6,000 Jingyuan troops under Yao Lingyan, Jiao Bochen and Fang Tingzhi to rebel directly out of Baqiao to seize Tongguan and block the reinforcements from the court.

After the decision was settled, Yuan Xiu took the opportunity to talk about the talisman, saying that Li Shi's fortune was over, and we had to control the capital as soon as possible, and we could no longer let Li Tang's ministers leave the city freely and go to Fengtian. "There should be a ban at the Ten Gates of Chang'an, and then all officials staying in Beijing came to the Daming Palace to attend the ceremony and cooperate with us. Violators will be executed without mercy."

Everyone in the hall nodded, and the unlucky guy who was selected was actually the King of Han who was captured in the ten kings' house.

King Han was held hostage by many rioters and climbed to the hall, and couldn't help but burst into tears:

Originally, although Li Shi had lost all possibilities after he ascended the throne, he still thought that he could spend the rest of his life safely and worry-free in the Ten Kings' house. But who would have thought that Li Shi had only been in power for three years, and the rebellious soldiers attacked Chang'an City. Li Shi left him when he ran away. All the rebellious soldiers and generals unanimously decided that he would be the new master of the Daming Palace.

"Don't harm me, kill me!" King Han shouted in despair.

But these rioters from the border areas could not care about these things. They forced King Han to the main yamen of Xuanzheng Hall of the Daming Palace, pressed them on the imperial throne, then threw the red and yellow robe and crown on him, performing the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows.

Your Highness, Sang Daomao, the Yin-Yang Mr. Hanlin Academy, was also pulled and walked to Zichen Hall.

"Unfortunate, unlucky! Why is my fortune-telling half-hearted and half-not effective?" Sang Daomao complained repeatedly, calculating the emperor, but not counting himself. That night, he did not go west with Gao Yue, but went south, but was caught by the Changwu army cavalry on the edge of Zhongnan Mountain.

In addition, during the war, Li Feng, a proofreader who was completely abandoned by his friends during the chaos, was also pulled to the hall.

This was the first time Li Feng came to the hall, but there were no literati and lords here. They were all fierce soldiers, with sword lights flashing everywhere, and rude local dialects came one after another. On the imperial throne in the center, King Li Jiong, who was forced to wear a red and yellow robe, was crying, and the whole scene was in chaos.

The people standing next to the incense table were all the leaders of the riots.

The tall and bearded person was Huaixi Li Xilie. It is said that he would kill and bleed before his eyes, and this person would not blink;

Zhu Li is fat and smirking on his face. He is said to be generous on the outside but actually cruel on the inside;

Li Huaiguang, who has long cheeks and short whiskers under his chin, was like an iron brush, and was like a leopard, and was also the main culprit in this mutiny;

The ears were as big as a donkey, and the one with a fierce look on his face was Li Zhongchen.

There are also Yuan Guanglu Qingyuanxiu, Jingzhao Yin Wang Hong, capital official Peng Yan, etc., who have all been abducted.

Then, Zhu Li spoke to the trembling Li Feng.

The meaning is nothing more than asking him to make a book with Taoist priest Sang Daomao, give the King of Han a title, and announce the change of the era, saying that all this is in accordance with the will of heaven.

Li Feng cried and said, "I am just a ninth-rank proofreader and I am not qualified to make a book."

"That's easy. Now you are a member of the Secretariat. You are from the 12th year of Dali. You are very talented and you hope you don't refuse!" Zhu Li was very happy.

Then several soldiers brought Li Fengduan a book, a pen and a small bottle that was stuffed.

"This is very poisonous. If Li Jietou really wants to give up, he can drink medicine and die for the death of his family. We will never be embarrassed." Zhu Li's next sentence was even more refreshing.

Li Feng was trembling all over when he looked at the poison, and there was a noise again:

The former Minister of Works Qiao Lin was held by two burly heroes, with his feet barely placed on the ground and was thrown into the hall.

As Gao Yue said, Qiao Lin hid in the temple in Jingyang, but was immediately identified, so she was caught by Zhu Li's subordinates. Qiao Lin shouted that I would never be resistant. The rebellious Jingyuan soldiers pulled out their blades and threatened that if Qiao Lin refused, they would kill all the monks in the temple.

Finally, the monks helped the soldiers tie up Qiao Shangshu and sent it to Chang'an City.

"Qiao Gongshang, we are always waiting for you to come!" Zhu Li and Li Zhongchen came to welcome him quickly.

Qiao Lin's face was ashes, lying on the ground, sobbing.

"A group of insects." Li Huaiguang next to him secretly contemptuously in his heart.

In the end, in the Zichen Palace, Li Feng and Sang Daomao still wrote a book, entitled "Emperor of Conforming Heaven and Performing the Way, Wisdom, Sage, Belief, Filial and Filial Piety", changed the era to "Chengtian", and announced a general amnesty for the world, exempting Li Xilie, Li Na, Li Bo, Tian Yue, Wu Jun, King of Hengji, and Zhu Tao, Youzhou, and recognized the titles of the kings who gave him - Li Na called himself King of Qi, Tian Yue called himself King of Wei, Wang Wujun called himself King of Zhao, and Zhu Tao called himself King of Ji.

Now Li Xilie has been named King of Chu, Ledung of the Secretariat, Li Huaiguang is the King of Jin, Ledung of Shangshu, Zhu Li is the King of Qin, Ledung of the Secretariat, Li Zhongchen is the King of Yan, Yao Lingyan, Jiao Bochen and others are each the marshal, Wang Hong, Yuan Xiu is the Minister of the Secretariat, Tong Pingzhang, Qiao Lin is the Minister of the Secretariat, and Peng Yan is the Censor.

Li Feng suddenly became a fifth-rank Zhongshu Shesan, as if in a dream.

Guo Zhuan, who was originally a thief-captured official in Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture, actually became General Jinwu and the imperial city street patrol. It was really arrogant.

Then the three Li and Zhu "sit down on the ground to share the spoils", announcing that Chang'an County would be Zhu Li, Li Zhongchen, Wannian County would be Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie. Later, all counties in the capital were divided up and "each took rent and tax."

Finally, according to the prior plan, Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie really selected 10,000 elite battalions, crossed Xiwei Bridge, and began to advance towards Fengtian City.

Zhu Li also sent many trusted slaves to carry various letters to Fengxiang and Jingyuan, and began to disagree and incite.

At this time, in Fengtian City, where the war was about to come, just as Duan Xiushi and Gao Yue were just getting on the horse and were about to go to Baili New City from Liangshan Road, the emperor temporarily sent Huo Zhongtang to come and said to Gao Yue with a smile: "The saint asked Gao Tailang to enter the bell tower and talked about it. There are some trivial matters that I want to ask for."

Gao Yue on the horse was sighing fiercely in his heart. He knew that the emperor was probably going to be fickle again and made some troubles.

As expected, the emperor in the hall sat upright on it with an expression of indulgence on his face, while Lu Qi burst into tears and lay beneath it.
