Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

author:Autumn water duckweed lying in Jiangzi

In the second year of Qianning (895), Wang Chongying, who was in charge of the defending army, died of illness, and the people supported the marching Sima Wang Ke (the son of Wang Chongrong), the former envoy of Jiedushi, as the envoy of Jiedu (the intern jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, usually three months to be regularized).

Wang Chongying's son was unwilling, so he pulled his younger brother Wang Yao (陳州) to assassinate Wang Yao (潣州) and launched an attack on Wang Ke.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

However, due to the fact that Wang Ke found his father-in-law Li Keyong to help, Wang Jue and Wang Yao had no choice but to go to Zhu Wen for help, but it was very unfortunate that Zhu Wen concentrated on beating his own two former righteous brothers and had no time to intervene.

So Wang Jue and Wang Yao found the rogue warlords in Guanzhong, Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian, gave them generous gifts, and entrusted the three of them to help persuade the imperial court to appoint themselves as envoys to the Protectorate Army and Wang Ke as the Assassin of Shaanzhou. After being rejected by Emperor Zhaozong, the three men decisively led their troops to Chang'an City.

In addition to Li Maozhen's habitual use of showing off his muscles, the remaining two actually have their own small calculations, Wang Xingyu was unsuccessful in his previous request to be a Shang Shu Ling, and he was resentful, and at the same time wanted to get the town of Liangyuan and its garrison in the Gyeonggi region near the state of Pyongzhou. Han Jian's goal was relatively pure, he only wanted to get close to the town of Gaoyang in Huazhou and the soldiers there. Therefore, the three people came here not only to satisfy their own ambitions, but also to earn Wang Jue's personal feelings.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

On May 8, the three-man coalition army arrived in Beijing, and the citizens of the city heard the news or fled outside the city, or found a place to hide, and Chang'an was silent, like an empty city. Those who could run basically ran, and there was one person who did not run, he just quietly stood at Anfu Gate, waiting for Li Maozhen's arrival.

This person was Tang Zhaozong Li Ye himself.

As the Son of The Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is the root of it, and it is not easy to give up.

What's more, if it is like this today, where can it go?

Die here too! To die is to die tragically!

Come on! Li Maozhen! If you really don't have any fear, swing your sword at you!

Seeing emperor Zhaozong, Li Mao and others who were personally guarding the gate tower without any fear, they were immediately blinded. Almost by reflex, Li Maozhen took the lead in rolling the saddle and dismounted, and greeted Saint Ann with three knees and nine prostrations towards the emperor at the city gate.

Yes, Li Ye gambled and won. Li Maozhen and others also dared to bully the imperial court with their geographical advantages and ask for some benefits, but they really did not dare to carry such a cauldron as the king, otherwise they would become lost in minutes, and they would be destroyed, not to mention, and even the bone slag was estimated to be left.

Seeing that Li Maozhen and the other two generals and the native soldiers accompanying them all fell to their knees and did not dare to move, Zhaozong spoke:

"Qing can't wait for the performance, please wait for the imperial court to reply, so he sent troops to enter the capital, what do you really want to do?" If you can't serve you, please abdicate today!"

Zhaozong's tone was very heavy, full of majesty, and shocked Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu to sweat unceasingly, lying on the ground and not daring to look up, let alone make a sound.

However, Han Jian was more pure and behaved more normally, and after briefly stating the reasons for entering the dynasty in three words and two words, he respectfully waited for the emperor to speak.

The scene was controlled, the steps were also there, and Li Ye knew that it was time to receive it when he saw it was good. So after a few more simple words, His Majesty the Emperor ordered a feast.

Since you have come, let you eat enough and then leave, so as not to cause more trouble.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

It is not okay not to cause trouble, the murderous came, I did not expect to kneel directly, this matter will be over if you do not pull back some face, this cheeky can not help the shame of the people of the world, Ah, Lao Tzu will still be in this piece in the future.

Li Maozhen's three people summed up, and it was determined that Li Ye alone would definitely not think of such a dangerous move, and there must be someone behind him. Who could that be? The answer seems simple, but any high-ranking official who does not attach himself to him must be a supporter of the emperor.

Therefore, the three of them jointly wrote a letter, saying that the Southern and Northern Divisions each had their own friends and corrupted the government. He also named two prime ministers and asked the imperial court to investigate the mistakes in the decision to attack Xichuan and kill Wei Zhaodu; Echoing the opposition of the Qunchen to Li Qi's appearance, he killed Li Qi.

Li Ye directly ignored the unreasonable demands of Li Maozhen and others. But he never dreamed that although Li Maozhen and others did not dare to kill him as an emperor, they dared to move the prime minister.

On the day that the three people went to the table, Wang Xingyu took people to work. He led his men to arrest Wei Zhaodu and Li Qi, killed them privately at Dutingyi, and then led his troops to kill the Privy Counsellor Kang Shangbi and several eunuchs who were close to the emperor.

"Wang Ke and Wang Ke are not distinguished, and ask Your Majesty to appoint Wang Jue as an envoy to Hezhong and transfer Wang Xingyue to Shaanzhou and Wang Ke to Tongzhou."

Faced with the bloodied sabers of Wang Xingyu's soldiers, Li Ye had to choose to give in and approved this opinion.

Li Maozhen and others had already made a plan to depose Li Ye and replace li Bao with the Prince of Ji. But they suddenly got the news that Li Keyong had already raised an army in Hedong and intended to come to Chang'an to meet him.

This was not fun, Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu immediately left two thousand soldiers each under the banner of the Su Wei Jing Division, looked at the emperor, and then hurriedly bid farewell to Han Jian and returned to the town.

Li Keyong did raise an army, because he heard that Feng Xiang and other three townsmen had invaded the Beijing Division, and he was very worried about the emperor's safety.

Although the imperial court has always regarded itself as a traitor and a thief, and has listened to rumors and sent troops to fight against itself, he will always protect his beloved Tang Dynasty, and now that the emperor has difficulties, he cannot sit idly by.

Li Ke immediately sent emissaries to recruit troops from various places, agreeing to cross the Yellow River into Tongguan next month.

On the way south, he also gave the imperial court a watch, which roughly means that I heard that Wang Xingyu, Li Maozhen, and Han Jian had invaded the Capital Division and killed the ministers, and if the imperial court intended to solicit it, it was as good as it was talking.

At the same time, Li Keyong also sent a message to the three towns, counting the crimes of Li Maozhen and others.

Li Maozhen was so frightened that they hurried to repair the city and train their troops to prepare to resist Li Ke's attack.

They were deceived, in fact, it was just a wave of smokescreens, and Li Ke used the real target, which was Daizhou.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

The defender of Dai Prefecture was Shi Wang Yao, who held the gate behind closed doors for ten days before Li Keyong attacked the city. Li Keyong had no feelings for Wang Chongying, so after capturing Wang Yao, he directly asked someone to drag him out and cut him down at the military gate.

After killing Wang Yao, Li Ke marched into Weibei, because wang Xingyu's younger brother Wang Xingyu was waiting for him in the front.

Wang Xingyue's courage was much greater than that of his brother, and in the face of the famous Li Keyong, he was not afraid and led the troops to go up.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and often just don't know the horror of tigers. Wang Xingyue and Li Ke fought with each other for less than an hour, and they were cut down by Shatuo's cavalry and ran around, while Wang Xingyue still ran the fastest and ran directly to Chang'an.

Wang Xing was really not interested in chasing an opponent of this magnitude, so after Chaoyi defeated the enemy, Li Ke used his army to reach the river.

On July 1, the Hedong army arrived in the river, and Wang Ke personally greeted him on the avenue outside the city. Just as Weng Xu and the two were making further plans on the situation at that time and the arrangements for the future, a conspiracy that no one had predicted was hatching in Chang'an City.

After the defeat, Wang Xingyue truly experienced the horror of Li Keyong and Shatuo's cavalry, and the reason why he gave up along with the prefecture's base area and ran directly to Chang'an was because he was convinced that even Fengxiang, Jingnan, Zhenguo, Kuangguo, and Qin cheng's five towns were not necessarily Li Keyong's opponents. Therefore, Wang Xingyue's opinion was to evacuate to the west quickly, and the focus of his plan was to take the emperor with him and withdraw to Yingzhou.

Even if he Li Ke used it, even if he was strong, he would inevitably throw a rat trap and dare not attack the army or the city of the emperor, so as long as Emperor Zhaozong was in hand, He Ning was worry-free.

Wang Xingshi's younger brother Wang Xingshi, who was then the commander of the Left Army, was in Chang'an, with two thousand men and horses in his hands, and when Wang Xing agreed to make a plan, Wang Xingshi immediately found a privy councillor, Luo Quancui, to discuss specific implementation steps.

According to the idea of Wang Xingyue's brothers, he ran coldly like Xuanzong and Emperor Xuanzong in the past, and when Li Keyong called, these fools in the capital did not know the situation, and maybe they could still stand up to it and buy time for themselves to run.

However, an accident occurred, Li Maozhen's righteous son and the commander of the Right Army made Li Jipeng get the news from nowhere, he urgently found his own person in the palace, Liu Jingxuan, a lieutenant of the Shen ce army, and after a short period of consultation, the two decided to preemptively attack, send troops to control Luo Quanxuan and others, and then asked (hijacked) the emperor to go to Fengxiang, where the former emperor often went.

So the left army and the right army appeared on Chengtianmen Street almost on the front and back feet, and no one on either side was an idiot, and when they were in the other side's position, they knew what the idea of fighting was.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

Wang Xingyue's reaction was faster, so he first led the left army to launch an attack, and at the same time ordered people to escort the gatehouse and make a protective appearance. As soon as Li Jipeng saw that he was angry, he immediately led his troops to fight back. The shouts of death outside the palace gate were so loud that it was impossible not to alarm the emperor. After learning about what happened outside, Li Yexian sent eunuchs to convey his meaning to the two sides of the fight at the door, and the general content was as follows:

He received a sheet from Li Ke, who is still stationed in Hezhong. Even if Shatuo's soldiers and horses came, Shuo had his own way to deal with him, and qing and others only needed to pacify their own troops and not let them listen to rumors and cause chaos. ”

There was such a big movement, so many people were killed and injured, you mean not to leave.

Li Jipeng was furious.

Presumably overwhelmed by anger, he actually did something daring: shooting an arrow at Li Ye, who appeared on the city gate tower, and ordering the palace gate to be set on fire.

Frightened by the sudden flying arrows, Li Ye was also anxious, and he immediately issued an edict and summoned the six capitals of Yanzhou to the guard.

The Yanzhou Liudu soldiers were stationed in the Beijing Division according to the custom at that time, and because for a long time, Yanzhou Liu was an important position against tubo (later dangxiang) eastward advance, so the Yanzhou soldiers and horses have always maintained extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they have also been feared by the left and right armies. The emperor summoned these people, and the intention was obvious, that is, to suppress the native soldiers under Li Jipeng and Wang Xingyue.

Although the Yanzhou Liudu soldiers eventually killed and repelled the two sides, but at this time the city was already in chaos, and the various armies were plagiarizing each other, and it was impossible to stop, so Li Ye had to take the kings to the camp of the Dingzhou general Li Jun.

However, Li Ye only stayed at Li Jun's place for a few days before leaving, because the latest news came from the roadside society, saying that Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu planned to personally bring troops to "welcome the car and drive." No matter which of them was ushered away, Li Ye was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of Emperor Xian of Han, so after careful consideration, Li Ye was ready to transfer in advance.

On July 6, under the escort of Li Jushi and Li Jun, the head of the guards, the emperor and his party left qixia gate, Qunan Mountain, and finally settled in Shacheng Town (soon, changed to Shimen Town).

Although Chang'an City had Li Zhirou the Prince of Xue and Liu Guangyu of the Privy Council responsible for guarding the palace, if Li Maozhen really brought troops with them, the resistance between Chang'an City and Shimen Town was estimated to be only a few days, and the top priority was to find another good strategy. Just when the emperor and his ministers were worried about security, Li Ke used his jiedu judge Wang Gui to enter the capital on behalf of Li Ke and greet him, and His Majesty the Emperor immediately decided to ask Li Ke to use it.

On July 12, Li Ye sent his internal servant Xi Tingxian (郗廷顯) with an edict to Li Keyong's army in Tongzhou, ordering Li Keyong and Wang Ke to send 10,000 cavalry each to Xinping to attack Wang Xingyu. At the same time, Li also sent another message to Zhangyi Jiedushi's envoy Zhang Jun, ordering him to use all the Jingyuan soldiers under his command to try their best to control Fengxiang.

Li Ke used his early intention to export evil qi for his son-in-law, and after receiving the edict, he immediately led the army to Benhua Prefecture.

Han Jian was aware of the situation, so as soon as Li Ke used his soldiers to surround the city, he was anxious: Lao Tzu did not conspire to hijack the holy car, and His Majesty the Emperor's order was very clear, it was for you to fight Wang Xingyu, you Li Ke used it in Huazhou, what did I find Lao Tzu to do?

Since you want a reason, give it to you.

Li Ke replied to him with this:

"You are a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but you persecuted and expelled the emperor, if you are still polite like this, then are there still rude people in the world?"

Han Jian had nothing more to say. But to his surprise, Li Keyong actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops soon. The reason was simple, Li Keyong got a very important intelligence: Li Maozhen led 30,000 troops to the Diaoya, and Wang Xingyu garrisoned Yu Xingping, all claiming to want to welcome the car and avoid the riots.

It was okay to fight Huazhou at any time, but if the emperor was taken captive during this period, it would be trouble. So Li Ke hurriedly ordered to rush to Weiqiao to garrison.

On the fifth day of August, the Hedong Army arrived at Weiqiao, where he did not see the so-called enemy soldiers. Li Keyong was never a general waiting for a battle, and when he saw the enemy at the end, of course, he took the initiative to attack. Therefore, Li Ke personally led an army to capture Yongshou, and then sent his righteous sons Li Cunxin and Li Cun to lead a partial division to assist Bao Dajiedu to make Li Sixiao attack Wang Xingyu's Li Garden Village.

The Shatuo cavalry was indeed powerful. Soon after arriving at the front line, he broke through the Liyuan Village, and took Wang Xingyu's subordinate Wang Lingtao and others.

Seeing that Wang Xingyu was beaten back one after another and almost collapsed into an army, Li Maozhen was frightened, so he found his adopted son Li Jipeng, cut off the other party's head with a knife, and sent emissaries to the emperor to plead guilty. At the same time, he also asked people to bring a large amount of money to Li Keyong to make peace.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

Judging from the later development, Li Ye should have underestimated Li Keyong's strength, so he agreed to pardon Li Mao's guilt. He also sent Li Jingpi the Prince of Yan and Li Yun the Prince of Dan as envoys to proclaim Li Keyong, causing him to join forces with Li Maozhen to first appease Wang Xingyu. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not say the words to death, he spoke very clearly, and when Wang Xingyu was destroyed, he and Li Ke used the long-term plan.

The emperor's face is to be given, and the face of money is also to be given. So Li Keyong agreed, so Wang Xingyu died.

On August 14, the imperial court announced the deposition of Wang Xingyu from all official titles.

On the nineteenth day, the emperor issued an edict appointing Li Keyong as an envoy to the four camps of Ying Ning, Bao Da Jiedu to make Li Sixiao an envoy to the north, Li Sijian to the east to solicit envoys, and Caiyi Jiedu to make Zhang Hao an envoy to the west, attacking on all sides and suppressing Pingning.

Escorted along the way by Li Ke with cavalry, on August 27, Zhaozong returned to the Beijing Division. Li Ye was very happy, so he appointed Li Keyong as the commander of the camp with a big stroke. This is a promotion, but also an urging, Li Ke understands, of course, he will not let the court down.

Beginning in September, under the command of Li Keyong, the Hedong army launched a fierce attack on wang Xingyu's stronghold of Liyuan. Although this area was a military fortress carefully built by Wang Xingyu, there were still many crises under the strong attack of the Hedong Army. With years of combat experience, Wang Xingyu could feel that the pear garden was about to fall. So he no longer hesitated and immediately sent someone to ask Li Maozhen for help.

As an ally for many years, Li Maozhen was still more emotional, and after receiving the news, he immediately sent a Fengxiang army of 10,000 people to enter longquan town, a key place in Yingzhou, without any greeting, posing as a posture to save Wang Xingyu, while he personally led 30,000 people into Xianyang, directly threatening the flank of the Hedong army.

Li Ke was angry. In his opinion, Li Maozhen absolutely did not tie the rope to play bungee jumping one by one. So Li Ke used his horse to ask the imperial court to order Li Maozhen to return to Fengxiang, and when he returned, he would be relieved of his official title and approved his own division of troops to fight.

Li Ye agreed with the first half of Li Ke's proposal and rejected the second half. According to the historical records, Li Ye made such a decision because he wanted Li Maozhen to remember his kindness and thus take this person for his own use.

Li Ye didn't know Li Maozhen too well. Li Maozhen has a small heart, a good memory, and a strong sense of revenge. More importantly, he will not necessarily repay his kindness, but he will definitely repay his vengeance. And from the moment Li Ye summoned Li Ke to use The King of Qin, his deep hatred with Li Ye and Li Keyong had already set the tone.

Although there was a little discordant note, the battle against Wang Xingyu was still very smooth, and when Li Yuan was in a hurry, Li Ke used his love to defeat the Ying Ning soldiers in Yunyang, and captured Wang Linghai in Yunyang Town, and soon Li Ke used another general, Li Cunzhen, to break the Ying Ning army at the north of Li Yuan, and beheaded more than a thousand enemies.

At this point, the periphery of the pear garden was basically cleared, and Wang Xingyu's soldiers did not dare to take the initiative to fight anymore.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

After insisting on this for a few more days, the Ying Ning army in the pear garden finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to abandon the city and flee. Unfortunately, their luck was not very good, that day was the fierce Li Hanzhi's errand, so the Ying Ning army was chased and beaten for a long time, until Li Hanzhi's troops cut down and could not move, which stopped the pursuit.

As soon as the news of the capture of Liyuan spread, the brothers Wang Xingyue and Wang Xingshi took the initiative to burn down the Ningzhou run, and the Ningzhou defender Xu Jing sent an envoy to surrender.

The only troops that Wang Xingyu could fight were the five thousand elite armor of Longquan Village.

At the end of October, Li Keyong began to attack Longquan Village.

If Longquan Village is finished, Wang Xingyu will really be finished. Realizing this, Li Maozhen was no longer silent, and with five thousand men and horses, he set up camp in the west of the town.

Not fighting like this is really sorry for Li Maozhen, who came from afar. Li Ke immediately instructed Li Hanzhi to kill the guy for me.

Li Hanzhi did not have to say, it was a type of fierce blow at the first shot, and never let go until the end, under his dog skin plaster-like attack, Feng Xiangbing ran back like crazy, but in half a day, he withdrew to the town and could not be killed.

In the second year of Qianning (895), on the fifth day of the first month of October, the Hedong army attacked Longquancha, and Wang Xingyu fled to Yingzhou. But this time, Wang Xingyu really did not dare to fight again.

After he returned, he sent an envoy to Li Keyong's army to ask for surrender, and Li Keyong's response to him was to directly lead his troops to surround Ying Ning, and Wang Xingyu cried, really crying. While wiping his tears, he looked at Li Keyong under the city and uttered the last passage he left in the history books: "Xingyu is innocent, and it was Li Maozhen and Li Jipeng who coerced the holy driver to do anything, please move fengxiang to ask Li Maozhen for his guilt, and Xingyu is willing to tie himself up and return to the court to ask for guilt."

Li Keyong smiled: "Father Wang Shang is so humble! I was ordered by the imperial court to attack you and Li Maozhen and Han Jian, three chaotic courtiers and thieves, and you are one of them, and you want to tie yourself up in the dynasty, which is not something I can decide without permission. ”

With that, he commanded his army to begin the offensive.

Wang Xingyu was desperate, and when he was desperate, he led his people to abandon the city and run away. However, he did not run far, only ran to the territory of Gyeongju, and was rebelled by his subordinates, cut off his head, and passed on to Chang'an.

Li Keyong's conquest with this edict was really very satisfied to Zhaozong, so he prepared a great gift for Li Keyong that he could not have dreamed of.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

When he heard the contents of the edict, Li Keyong was very excited, because His Majesty the Emperor gave him the title of King of Jin.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rank of wang was the highest level of treatment that the emperor could give to himself that had no blood relationship at all, and it was precisely because of the high level that even super fierce men such as Li Jing and Li Ji did not have a share (the rank of the two was guogong and duke). There is the Tang Generation. No more than fifty warriors can be crowned princes, and very few can enjoy this honor while they are alive.

And there are also subtle differences between the princes, the most cattle prince titles, are named after those actual local place names, such as the King of Qin, the King of Chu, the King of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Jin used by Li Ke, compared to the prince titles of those Shou Wang, Yan Wang, and Dan Wang, don't need me to tell, everyone hears the name, this grade will be judged. Even if Guo Ziyi had the great merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty, a very popular subject, and worked as a Taishi, even the emperor had to honor a "Shang Father" and give three points of courtesy to the cattle man, but he was only a Fenyang King (Junwang).

There are not many people who can make Li Keyu worship with such a fierce role, and Guo Ziyi is naturally one of them, so I believe everyone can imagine how excited Li Keyong should be when he learned that he surpassed his idol and was crowned king.

However, Li Ye was not too much of an exception this time, after all, Li Keyong had long been included in the roster of the Li Tang royal family. And along with the knighthood of the King of Jin, there is also an honorary title of "Loyal and Peaceful Meritorious Servant" given by Tianzi Qin, and with this certification in hand, it is really thoughtful and interesting to care about what kind of black history of killing superiors, rebelling, stealing Linzhen, and threatening the Beijing Division.

His Majesty the Emperor made Li Keyong very excited, and he couldn't even sleep. So he wrote a secret form overnight, and sincerely proposed to Zhaozong that he send troops to attack Fengxiang while the iron was hot, and solve the problem of Guan Fu's restlessness once and for all.

The ministers were both in favor of and against the matter of sending troops to the wind, but what made His Majesty the Emperor really listen to his ears and form a strong impression was this: Mao zhen is restored, then Shatuo is prosperous, and the imperial court is in danger!

Yes, if Li Ke is a big family, there is no force that can balance him, and the imperial court is estimated to be even more unable to play.

Li Ye was still thinking of being the great emperor who revived the Tang Dynasty!

So he made an important decision: Bao Li Maozhen.

Judging from the subsequent development, this decision allowed the imperial court to directly step from the possible play to the fixed number of play.

Receiving a reply from the imperial court ordering the withdrawal of troops, Li Keyong had no choice but to complain privately to the envoy for two sentences, which roughly meant that he sensed that the Lord had doubts about him, which made him feel very sorry for Yunyun, and in the end predicted that if Li Maozhen was not eradicated, there would never be a peaceful day in the Guanzhong area.

In fact, the multi-heartedness of the imperial court is not without reason. At that time, Li Ke used the garrison's Weibei area to rain heavily for sixty consecutive days, and the soil was drenched in unspeakable suffering, and every few days there would be a great future to persuade Li Ke to use the army to enter the dynasty, which meant that even if the emperor could not see it, it was good to let the soldiers hide from the rain.

People are repeatedly persuaded by the same point of view, it is inevitable that the position will not be firm, Li Keyong is no exception, he began to think accordingly. At this time, a person came to Li Keyong's side and told him succinctly and clearly, you must not do that.

This person is called Gai Yu, which is equivalent to Jing Xiang under Zhu Wen and is Li Ke's think tank, but in fact, Gai Yu has more influence on his lord than Jing Xiang. With his outstanding acumen and wisdom, Gai Yu is very able to guess Li Ke's intentions, and his expression ability and logical ability are extremely strong, often able to put forward constructive suggestions in a gentle manner, so that Li Ke can accept with an open heart and do everything.

What is valuable is that Li Keyong did not have the slightest doubt about him, and Zhu Wen sent people several times to provoke the relationship between Li Keyong and Gai Yu, and even directly sent people around to threaten that Gai Yu had replaced Li Keyong, but Li Keyong was not moved, but it was better for Gai Yu.

It turns out that Gai Yu did not live up to Li Keyong's trust, and he can always help Li Keyong make the most correct choice at the most critical moments, such as this time.

This time, Li Ke easily eliminated Wang Xingyu, who had brought the emperor to life, and then strongly insisted on destroying Li Maozhen, and it was difficult not to have the idea that Li Ke wanted to replace the two. At this moment, the emperor had just experienced a great chaos and returned to the capital, and he had not yet slept soundly, and the people at the imperial court were even more uneasy, if this sensitive period. Li Ke crossed the Weishui River with his leading troops, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to escape the suspicion of Li Xia in Guatian.

Whether Li Keyong was a loyal vassal or a rebel, if Tang Zhaozong fully trusted him, could Tang be revived?

Therefore, the advice given by Gai Yu this time is specifically eight words: Qin Wang, why chaoya?

After listening to Gai Yu's words, Li Ke immediately laughed: "Gai Yu still doubts me, let alone people all over the world!"

There is nothing wrong with taking over the government and government alone, but it is only one step away from being slandered all over the world and ruined!

This step could not be returned, and Li Keyong did not step out after all.

On December 19, Li Ke used the above table to bid farewell and led his troops back to Jinyang.

This time, he did return home with honor, there was no doubt that the shatuo teenager who longed to become a hero in the past finally made his dream come true.
