Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 197 The city is full of gold armor

Facing the eye-catching red arrow on the light screen map, everyone in the Manlu Hall looked heavy for a moment.

Although this happened more than 200 years later, they still felt powerless when they saw such a force that could be called a scabies disease in its early stage, running left and right to escape again and again, and finally turning around to fight back.

"These Jiedushi who suppressed the rebellion and took bribes to support the bandits should all be killed!"

Li Shiji's words were full of murderous intent, and he also expressed his attitude.

This kind of thing is really too taboo, Li Shiji doesn't want to bury a nail in His Majesty's heart because of the behavior of these later generations.

At the same time, Li Shiji murmured in his heart that this feeling was really strange.

I believe this is the first time in history that we are worried about being implicated by the chaotic party more than 200 years later.

Waving his hand to signal Li Shiji to sit back, Li Shimin sighed, but he just didn't quite understand:

"This Huangchao was defeated twice, why did it suddenly enter the capital?"

Regarding this, Wei Zheng sighed and said:

"Because this Huang Chao wants to kill corrupt officials."

"Is it that simple?" Li Shimin asked.

Wei Zheng paid homage to Li Shimin and said at the same time:

"Your Majesty, do you know that there is still a Temple of King Dou in Hebei?"

Li Shimin was silent. Of course he remembered this opponent who "wanted to calm the people and rule the world."

Wei Zheng replied: "I have heard many people in Hebei talking about him, punishing corrupt officials, and the people still remember his virtue."

Li Shimin was silent, and now he thought of the statue "Water can carry a boat and capsize it" in Chang'an, which never sleeps.

Huang Chao had this slogan in order to appease the public, but looking at it from another direction, there are probably countless people under Huang Chao who have been harmed by corrupt officials.

A pain in his calf interrupted Li Shimin's reverie. Looking at Empress Changsun pouting, Li Shimin finally realized that Wei Zheng was still kneeling on the ground.

So Li Shimin hurriedly helped him up:
"Xuancheng is indeed my dressing mirror!"

[880 AD, this year is crucial to Huang Chao.

After relying on the second false surrender and bribery to escape, he conquered Xuanzhou at the end of June.

In July, he crossed the Yangtze River and headed north, in September he conquered Sizhou; in October he conquered Shenzhou, Yingzhou, Songzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

At this time, no one in the Tang Empire could stop Huang Chao, so he officially began to march towards Kyoto.

Wait until autumn comes on September [-]th, and I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom!

In mid-November, Huang Chao attacked Luoyang. Luoyang belonged to Tokyo in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and there was also a court team left behind. They were led by Liu Yunzhang, who stayed behind in Tokyo, to greet Huang Chao.

Huang Chao did not stay too long in the prosperous Luoyang. He seemed to know the importance of speed in troops. After taking a short supply break, he set off westward again.

On the first day of December, Huang Chao marched into Tongguan and defeated it in two days. Chang'an was already under Huang Chao's front.

On the third day of December, Huang Chao led his army to Huazhou, which is now near Huashan. The next day, Xizong's envoy came to Huang Chao's military camp and brought Xizong's conditions:
Huangchao was granted the title of military governor of the Tianping Army.

At this time, Huang Chao had no reason to accept the appointment, but he did not embarrass the envoy either, and let him go back. Xi Zong's face turned pale when he heard the news.

On the fifth day of December, after the court meeting, Xizong, along with his four sons and several concubines, left without saying goodbye through the Jinguang Gate, the back door of the palace, under the protection of [-] Shence troops led by the eunuch Tian Lingzi.

It can be said that fate made a humorous joke. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yue and Wang Yan faced the Xiongnu Liu and chose to leave Emperor Huai of Jin in the capital to die and ran away on their own.

More than 500 years later, it was the emperor's turn to escape secretly.

Of course, the news of Xizong's escape could not be hidden for too long. This news brought a wave of chaos. Some people chose to flee, but more noble families chose to wait and see.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Zhifang, the general of the Jinwu Guard, came to Bashang with all the civil and military officials to greet their loyal King Huang.

The incense soars through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

After arriving in Chang'an, Huang Chao began to plan to proclaim himself emperor. After asking divination to choose an auspicious day, he moved into Hanyuan Hall and usurped the throne. His country was named Daqi and his reign was named Jintong.

At that time, Huang Chao was still ambitious. For example, he ordered his soldiers to preach:

Huang Wang is a living being, unlike the Li family who does not care about your generation, but each settles down.

Moreover, the "Old Tang Book" also records that Huang Chao and the rebel army gave alms to the poor.

After Xizong escaped from Chang'an, he ordered all the soldiers and horses to recover the capital. After gaining power and profit, the Jiedushi made great efforts and soon regained Xianyang and crossed the Wei River. Huang Chao felt defeated and withdrew from Chang'an.

What happened next was relatively simple, but for the people of Chang'an, it was one wave of disaster after another.

After the government troops stationed in Chang'an, they began to plunder money and children, and rogues in the city also pretended to be soldiers and took advantage of the chaos.

After Huang Chao detected this situation, he sent elite troops to sneak attack overnight. At this time, almost everyone in the army was carrying valuables. As a result, they were defeated miserably, and Chang'an City changed hands again.

Huang Chao, who entered the city again, was angry that the people of Chang'an welcomed Master Wang, and allowed his men to kill and cleanse the city indiscriminately, causing blood to flow in Chang'an.

Regarding this ending, the verbal description is a little pale, so let's end it with "Qin Fu Yin". 】

"The dancers and singers all donated their money secretly, and all the babies and young girls were abandoned."

Li Shimin read out the poem he saw. His voice was rougher than ever before, as if something was stuck in his throat.But he didn't care, and continued to look at the poem slowly sliding across the light screen, insisting on reading it out.

"There is a Jurchen fairy on the west side...the red powder balsam is cut to death."

"There is a girl next door to the south who doesn't remember her last name... her body and head are separated in a matter of seconds."

"You are still screaming for help in the smoke, but the corpse hanging on the beam has turned to ashes."

In troubled times, women are always the first to suffer, Li Shimin thought to himself.

He had always felt that his heart was as solid as stone, and he had seen too many troubled times, but now he had not seen any images, but this poem seemed to be weeping every word, hitting his heart.

Although these women who are not familiar with worldly affairs are separated by 300 years, they are still the people of the Tang Dynasty and his people.

They were protected by their father and brother at home and spent more than ten years in the Tang Dynasty. Maybe they would listen to their fathers or grandfathers talking about the powerful Tang Dynasty before going to bed, and imagine that the Tang Dynasty would have officials to govern the Qingming Dynasty again, and everyone would The day of laughter.

But that day will never come, and the life and destiny of them, their father and brother, came to an abrupt end on this day.

Who should be scolded?Who should I hate?

Li Shimin felt like vomiting blood, and there seemed to be some sweet taste in his throat.

"All the embroidery hubs in Huaxuan were sold out, and not half of the first-class noble families were left."

This sentence was read in a weird voice, and Li Shimin even felt a little happy in his heart.

Is this the Tang Dynasty that you noble clans want?Is this a Tang Dynasty created by a family whose surnames are all ministers, ministers and ministers?

I believe that during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, I did not rely on your benefit, but you took the benefit of the common people and entered the wealthy family.

Then the color of your noble family should be painted with your stinky blood!

"The inner treasury was burnt to splendor ashes, and the Tianjie was trampled to the bone!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Shimin felt a little empty in his heart.

The Tang Dynasty, which was founded by him in Jinyang, put an end to these fourteen characters.

During the Zhenguan period, the treasury was exhausted, either to provide disaster relief to the people or to use military expenditures to attack foreign races, and finally turned into a handful of black ashes when he died.

Countless heroes and talents worked with him, either riding their horses to trample the enemy, or reforming and correcting the officials, but in the end, the wine sacks and rice bags that were used to get up by all means were eventually trampled into dust.

Sitting on the couch and looking at the dome of Ganlu Hall, which he had seen many times, Li Shimin remained silent.

"If Your Majesty is tired, go and rest first." This was the voice of Empress Changsun persuading her.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded together and said:

"Your Majesty, I will copy it and it will not be too late for Your Majesty to read it later."

Shaking his head, Li Shimin whispered:

"I can still stand it."

Facing Empress Zhangsun's suspicious eyes, Li Shimin wanted to force a smile, but for the first time he felt that it took so much effort to draw the corners of his mouth, so in the end he just shook his head and said:
"Looking at the troubled times of his generation, I only feel that the emperor has no way, and the officials are greedy, so they should die early."

"But now that I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have suffered disasters in future generations, I still want to eliminate some more troubles and use more means."

"Even if this prosperous age can be extended for five or ten years, will the peaceful time that these daughters' families can enjoy last longer?"

Empress Changsun didn't speak, she just took Li Shimin's palm into her hands, which seemed to convey strength.

Smiling gratefully, he closed the other hand and stroked it, got up and went to the desk, he planned to copy the poem right now, and then hang it in the Ganlu Hall to be his own vigilance.

[As for the ending of Huang Chao, it is relatively lackluster. After Xizong completely gave up his power, the feudal town Jiedu quickly became stronger, and finally opened the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Facing the serious Jiedushi, Huang Chao was no match. He was driven out of Chang'an again and fled eastward all the way to defeat, eventually leaving a record of cannibalism.

But in fact, looking back, Huang Chao's talents were still able to travel all over the world and enter Chang'an, which in itself shows how big the problem was in the late Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the essence of feudal society is cannibalism. Although Huang Chao is recorded as cannibalistic in history books, the wealthy families in the feudal era have eaten the lives of common people for generations.

Regarding the records of Huang Chao's cannibalism, there are subtle deviations in the "Old Book of Tang" and the "New Book of Tang".

In the "Old Book of Tang" written by people from the later Jin Dynasty, the descriptions of the early Huangchao uprising army mostly focus on fighting the Tang army and conquering cities and territories, with few atrocities.

It wasn't until Huang Chao voluntarily withdrew from Chang'an for the first time that the "Old Tang Book" recorded that "thieves began to cruelly torture".

The "New Book of Tang" compiled by the Song Dynasty is a bit more interesting. It records that Huang Chao basically burned, killed and looted all the way from the beginning of his army.

The record that Huang Chao started robbing soon after entering Chang'an for the first time also comes from the "New Book of Tang".

What's more interesting is that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were ceded by the Later Jin Dynasty, so the records of the Later Jin Dynasty in the Song Dynasty have always been extremely derogatory.

A historian and minister in the early Song Dynasty commented sharply on Shi Chonggui, the last emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, saying that "the ugly people who have subjugated their countries since ancient times are nothing like the emperors."

But I don’t know what everyone in the Song Dynasty would think of Jingkang’s shame. 】

　It should go without saying the details of cannibalism. One is that the scale is a bit large, and the other is that the record has been verified by many people and must be fabricated. The person who wrote it neither knows anything about military service nor has done farm work.
