First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 169 Zhao'an Wagang
...

In fact, since Wang Shichong took control of the military, there have never been rumors in Luoyang City: Zheng Gong and Wang Shichong are about to seek to usurp the throne.

This makes Yuan Wendu and others feel at ease, and Wang Shichong and Li Mi are already angry. If Li Mi can be ordered to reconcile, then the two must be incompatible and can restrain Wang Shichong.

Even if Wang Shichong could not be restrained, it would be a great victory if Zhao'an Li Mi could fight without bloodshed. At least the nominal number one rebel in the world had already surrendered to the court, and it would be more powerful against Yu Wenhua and the puppet court.

Duan Da also shook his head, "Li Mi is so cunning, how could he attack Yu Wenhuaji, and let us reap the benefits of fishing."

For this, the Yuan Wen has long had a draft, and said directly: "If you can order Li Mi, even if Li Mi is not as good as attacking Yu Wenhuaji, once the soldiers of Wagang accept the official position of the court, it will also help to enhance their relationship. The Wagang Army can be disintegrated and separated, and a disintegrated Wagang Army is nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, many civil and military officials nodded in agreement. I have to say that the group of Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu are not very good at fighting or running a country, but when it comes to political struggles, they are really experts. Duan Da and others People were speechless when they heard the words, and they didn't know how to refute them.

Wang Shichong also had a sullen look on his face, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while, not to mention that although the emperor Yang Tong was young, he knew that Wang Shichong's control of military affairs was extremely unfavorable to him. People are in the same camp.

Among the seven nobles in Luoyang, only Duan Da, who was born in the army, was close to Wang Shichong, and the other four were all sympathetic to Yuan Wendu. Wang Shichong hated him so much that he had to leave angrily.

Yuan Wendu had the upper hand, feeling relieved, immediately discussed with the other four people, and asked Huangtai Emperor Yang Tong to issue an imperial decree, canonizing Li Mi as Taiwei, Shangshuling, Marshal of the Daxingtai Marching in Dongnan Road, and the title of Wei Guogong. No. 1 in the current dynasty, one person is under ten thousand people.

Emperor Huangtai's imperial decree was delivered to Jinyong City in the afternoon of the same day. Faced with this imperial decree, Wagangwen and Wuju all looked shocked.

Xu Shiji immediately vetoed it, "As the main force against the Sui Dynasty in the world, I, Wagang, have punished and killed countless corrupt officials of the Sui Dynasty since I started my army. How could I accept Zhao'an?"

Shan Xiongxin said in a muffled voice: "If you accept Zhao'an, wouldn't you become a dog official in the violent Sui Dynasty?"

At present, all civil and military officials are opposed to accepting Zhao'an. After all, in terms of confidence in anti-Sui, the Wagang Army is absolutely not inferior to any force.

Unlike Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua, and even Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian and others, the Wagang Army represents ordinary people who are suffering all over the world, how could they accept Zhao'an.

But when all the ministers were yelling at each other, Li Mi was actually quite engrossed in looking at the imperial decree.

Xu Shiji saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Sure enough, Li Mi's slanted chop seemed to be conceited by nature. It seemed to Li Mi that his decision was always right, even if the officials objected. Under Xu Shiji's astonished gaze, Li Mi waved his hand, suppressed the discussion, and said: "It is absolutely impossible to withdraw from the Central Plains. It is inevitable to fight on two fronts, to face the enemy, or to accept Zhao'an."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Then Xu Shiji took the lead and fell to the ground, "Wei Gong can't do it, we follow the wishes of the people and raise our troops against the Sui Dynasty. Now that the hegemony is about to be achieved, how can we descend to the Sui Dynasty?"

"Only accepting his official position, not demotion", Li Mi was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Jia Runfu also said loudly: "Duke Wei's trip will definitely lose the hearts of the people of the world and the Wagang Army." Behind him, Gao Jifu also had a look of grief and indignation.

With a bang, Li Mi slapped his palm on the desk, "Boldly".

Bing Yuanzhen, the secretary in charge, frowned and said: "Luoyang rewards are quite generous, or you can pretend to accept Zhao'an, and then listen to the tune instead of the announcement."

Xu Shiji said anxiously: "A little yellow and white things will lose the hearts of the army and the people, how unwise."

Hearing this, Li Mi was furious, got up and waved his sleeves and said: "I have made up my mind, and anyone who disagrees will be severely punished."

Seeing this, all the ministers were filled with grief and indignation. They lamented that the Wagang Army was vigorous and vigorous, crossing the Central Plains, reaching Mount Tai in the east and Luoyang in the west. Changing the banner and accepting the official position of the Sui Dynasty, how could the ministers accept it.

In Luoyang city, in the camp in the east of the city, in the tent of the Chinese army, Wang Shichong had a gloomy face and sat high in the commander-in-chief.

Looking at the generals in the hall, Wang Shichong was silent for a long time, and suddenly he slapped his palm on the desk, furious, "Damn, hate, hate."

Duan Da and others in the hall naturally knew what Wang Shichong was talking about. Duan Da shook his head and sighed: "I have fought dozens of times with Li Mi, and now I have changed into a colleague. Isn't it absurd."

"Colleague?" Wang Shichong gritted his teeth, "The gang of civil servants in Yuan Wendu only know how to play tricks, and they only want to kill us and other warriors. We have fought against Li Mi many times and killed countless Wagang rebels. Now Li Mi is sealed as the empress. Wei, Marshal of the Dongnan Dao Xingtai Marching Army, in charge of the military, we are all under his command, the day Li Mi takes office is the day when we die."

As Wang Shichong said, he watched the generals' reactions carefully. As expected, all the generals were terrified and uneasy when they heard the words. Wang Shichong was proud of seeing this. No matter how Yuan Wendu and others played tricks, as long as the military power was in hand, they would not be afraid of any ghostly tricks. .

Wang Shichong then threatened the lieutenant general, but he never thought that some generals would be uneasy all day long with too much force, and there were many people talking. Soon Wang Shichong's words were spread, Yuan Yuan When Wen Du and the others found out, it was really hard to sleep or eat.

When they got together to discuss, they planned to set up an ambush to kill Wang Shichong when Wang Shichong was in court in Ziwei Palace.

It can be said that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. When Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others bought Ziwei Palace generals, the plan was actually learned by Ying Yanglang general Zhang Zhi.

That's right, it was the Zhang Zhi who had escaped from death again after ambush in Yiyang City. Zhang Zhi was Duan Da's loyal henchman. He had narrowly escaped death several times, but he was a lucky general who married his daughter to Zhang Zhi. In this way, Zhang Zhi was even more devoted and loyal to Duan Da.

Zhang Zhi quickly informed Duan Da of the plan of Yuan Wendu and others. Duan Da had always been friends with Wang Shichong, and immediately sent a message to Wang Shichong. After all the others were killed, only Huangfu Wuyi fled alone.

There are seven nobles in Luoyang, and now there are only two nobles left. Huangtai Emperor Yang Tong wanted to cry without tears, so he had to confer Wang Shichong as Shangshu Zuo Servant, monopolizing the power of the court, and appointed Wang Shichong's brother Wang Shiyun as the internal history order, and all the children of the Wang family were named high-ranking officials. Since then, the Luoyang Huangtai Dynasty has been decided by Zheng Gong with one word.

　It's about to turn cloudy, but why is my body weak and dizzy? I've been lying down all day today. Why does this recovery period feel more uncomfortable than the first few days of yang?
