Chapter 22 Dark Day

And Huang Chao and Daqi Wenwu discussed in Chang'an Hanyuan Hall to break through Li Tang's East-West Second Road. Chai Cun said, prime minister, "Your Majesty, the generals of Daqi have been in a state of combat since they attacked Chang'an and have not been well resting, supplementing and training. I think that Li Tang's troops in Shaanxi are now in a state of defense. The armies of Daqi can rest their troops for about a month, and then compete with Li Tang for strategic places.

Zhao Zhang, the governor of Daqi, also expressed his opinion, with the intention of Chai Cun.

Then, Daqi's other civil and military officials expressed their views one after another. Some were mainly fighting, some were retired, and most civil and military officials believed that Chai Cun's advice was correct and reasonable.

Huang Chao, the emperor of Daqi, smiled and said, "Most of the Aiqings advocate the suspension of the war and rectify the troops, which is conducive to another battle. I agree to do so! Ha ha, Prime Minister Chai Cun will treat you to a wedding in a few days! I must participate!"

"Does Prime Minister Chai invite us to have a wedding wine? Which daughter-in-law are you asking for? Wen Wu surrounded Chai Cun and asked one after another.

Chai Cun smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, ask your majesty, hehe!"

Zhong Wenwu looked up at the yellow nest on Jinluan's throne and waited for him to speak.

Huang Chao laughed: "The daughter-in-law of the Chai Cun brothers, far away, close in front of us, the old four Jin Yu of the five sisters of the Jin family, hehe!"

Niu Feng shouted, "Great, Jin Ying is so beautiful. Chai Zai is very lucky. After asking Jin Yu, he became a relative with Brother Huang, hahaha! I must drink more of this wedding wine!"

When Jin Yu heard this, his face turned red with shame. He lowered his head and rubbed the ground of Hanyuan Hall with his feet.

After listening to Niu Feng's words, they all laughed.

A few days later, the wedding of Chai Cun and Jin Yu was held in Xianghui Building. The main civil and military officials in Shaanxi came to congratulate them, but when they saw the sound of firecrackers and the sound of drums, Chai Cun and Jin Yu, the heroic couple, held hands and nodded and smiled frequently at the guests at the banquet. On that day, the two were happily married, not to say.

Contrary to the happy atmosphere of the Daqi Dynasty, at this time, the Li Tang court lived in Shu. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. There were few people in the court every day. The big and small affairs of the dynasty were basically decided by Tian Lingzi. Li Yan has been very ill since he lost Chen Shufei and Gao Zhaoyi. Fortunately, thanks to Wen Zhaoyi's careful care, Li Jun's body has recovered.

One day, Li Yan decided to go to Chengdu to govern. Since Zheng Wei took the initiative to resign from his old age and illness, Zheng Wei's position as prime minister has become vacant. Li Jun repeatedly thought and decided to appoint Wei Zhaodu, a bachelor of Hanlin and a servant of the Ministry of War, as Tongping Zhangshi to replace Zheng Wei's position.

Li Yan decided on this matter, and it was not easy for Tian Lingzi to object. In this way, Wei Zhaodu became the prime minister of Li Tang.

Li Yan is with eunuchs day and night to discuss the affairs of the world, and his treatment of courtiers outside the palace is becoming more and more estranged, and his courtesy is becoming thinner and thinner. For this reason, Zuo Shiyi's Meng Zhao's slander and general idea was that in the period of peace and security, far and near should work together; in difficult times of the country, China, North and foreign DPRKs should be more integrated. Last winter, the emperor drove west and did not tell the prime minister of Nansi, so that the prime minister and the officials were slaughtered by the Huangchao thieves, and only the eunuchs of the Northern Division were safe. Moreover, if I can get here today, I will risk my life and go through the rugged road to serve you from afar, so we should share our sorrow. And I saw that the Yellow Head Army in Xichuan was in chaos not long ago. His Majesty only closed the gate with Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan and the eunuchs and ministers to climb the tower to escape, and did not call Prime Minister Wang Duo and other court ministers to enter the city. The next day, he did not declare comfort the courtiers. I am a trusted minister, but I still don't know whether your majesty's holy body is safe. If the ministers ignore the king, their crimes should certainly be killed, and if your majesty does not care for the ministers, it is unreasonable. The Tang Dynasty is the world created by Gaozu and Taizong, not the world of the eunuchs of the Northern Division; the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the emperor of the people of Kyushu in the four seas, nor the emperor of the eunuchs of the Northern Division. The eunuchs of the Northern Division may not be trusted by everyone, and the officials of the Southern Division may not be useless. How can the emperor have nothing to do with the prime minister, and the courtiers regard it as passers-by?! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that during the period of recovering the capital, you will have to work hard work on your majesty, but the vegetarians will be able to enjoy the banquet. I am trusted by your majesty and have the honor to be appointed as a minister. My duty is to give advice to the benefit of the country. Although I may not have fulfilled my duty to give advice, there are latecomers who can continue to give advice.

Meng Zhaotu's sparse shape was sent to the palace and detained by Tian Linglingzi, but did not report to Tang Xizong Li Yan. Soon, Tian Lingzi used the name of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty to degrade Meng Zhaotu as the family of Jiazhou, and sent people to drown Meng Zhaotu in the river in Yijin. The courtiers were indignant when they heard about this and dared not say anything.

Chen Jingxuan, the governor of Xichuan, sent personnel to various counties and towns many times to inquire about secret illegal matters, which was called "searchers". Wherever the seeker went, he extorted the local officials and do whatever he wanted.

One day, two "searchers" did not ask for money or goods when they passed Ziyang Town. Xie Hong, the general of the town, asked him to invite the two "searchers" for a banquet, but they refused. Xie Hong was shocked and thought that he had committed some crime. That night, he abandoned his post and fled to the cottage of nearby thieves.

The next morning, the two "searchers" left, and Xie Hongrang was actually innocent. Yang Qian, the thief, lured Xie Hong to give up from the leader, but took the opportunity to arrest Xie Hong and release him to the Xichuan jiedushi, claiming that Xie Hong was captured after the crusade in order to obtain meritorious service.

Chen Jingxuan did not interrogate, so he asked someone to hit Xie Hongran's back 20 sticks with a wooden stick, nailed Xie Hongrang on the western wall of Chengdu for 14 days, splashed boiling oil on him, and pulled open his wounds with glue hemp. Xie Hongrang screamed day and night. His punishment was extremely cruel. People who saw it thought that Xie Hongrang was too wronged.

If you want to know what's going on, let's take a look at the next chapter.
