After conquering Wang Jiancheng, Wei Qing and Bai Qi continued to lead an army of 300,000 to the north, while Lu Xun took the initiative to ask to stay and govern the place and pacify the people.
Wei Qing happily complied, leaving Lu Kang and Ding Feng to lead 50,000 soldiers under Lu Xun to be dispatched to assist Lu Xun in clearing the remnants of the Tang State, suppressing the rebellion, and ensuring local tranquility.
Lu Xun is a smart man, the fall of the Tang and Wei dynasties is imminent, and the entire Han Empire has more than two million soldiers, and disarmament is imperative.
At that time, it was inevitable that Wei Qing and Gongsun Qi, who commanded the army, would hand over their military power, and if they stayed in the center of the Goryeo Peninsula, they would most likely be appointed as the supreme military governor of the peninsula and become the powerful generals of the powerful side.
In wartime, the status of military generals can be above that of civilian officials, but in peacetime, only military generals who have failed to do anything can do anything except train and train their soldiers to complain, which is much worse than the status of civilian officials; Only by holding the military power can he have enough right to speak, and can he become the leader of the Jiangdong Lu clan and even the entire Jiangdong clan.
After Wei Qing and Bai Qi led the army to leave Wang Jiancheng, Lu Xun divided his troops to clear the remnants of the Tang State on the one hand, and appointed officials to each county on the other, so that even if the imperial court appointed the new assassin Shi to the post, Lu Xun, who held the military power, could also empty it and become the actual ruler of the Goryeo Peninsula.
More than 300,000 Han troops waved their flags, mighty and vigorous, all the way to the north, where the officials of the Tang State looked at the wind and fell, the army was invincible, but half a month's kung fu was in Liaodong, and it was only 500 miles away from Xiangping, the capital of the Tang State to relocate.
After the Han army arrived in Marudu, the troops were divided into two routes, Wei Qing led 150,000 people to the west to attack Xiangping, and forced the remnants of the Tang State led by the eldest grandson Wujian, while Bai Qi led the remaining soldiers and horses to continue north, crusading against the remnants of Wuhuan led by Nurhachi and Xuanye, as well as Buyeo, Goguryeo and other tribes.
Wei Qing ordered Li Cunxiao and Tai Shici to be the vanguard, led 30,000 cavalry to take the lead, galloped all the way, killed Xiangping in a mighty way, and sent an envoy to Xiangping City in advance to persuade him to surrender, hoping that the eldest grandson Wuji knew the times as a handsome man and could take the initiative to open the door and surrender.
Without waiting for the Han army envoy to arrive in Xiangping, the scouts of the Tang State sent the news of the Han army's entry into Liaodong to the eldest grandson Wujian: "Empress Qijuan, the Han army has been invincible all the way, and it has now reached the pill capital, and the forward cavalry led by Li Cunxiao is only four hundred miles away from Xiangping."
Li Yuanba's death made the morale of the Tang Kingdom exhausted, everyone understood that the building would collapse beyond the power of manpower, at this moment to learn that the Han army iron cavalry swept in, Lin Xiangru, Li Hongzhang and others all hung their heads and said: "After the death of Your Majesty, the general trend of my Tang Kingdom has gone, the Han army swept all the way, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in Xiangping City, and then continue to hold on like a mantis arm as a car, it is better to open the city gate and surrender."
"Can't Surrender" The eldest grandson Wujian angrily slapped the case, gritted his teeth and said: "The Lu of the food monarch should repay the favor of the king, if the Tang Dynasty is going to perish, you should accompany the funeral for the Tang Dynasty, instead of being greedy for life and afraid of death, bending your knees and begging for mercy, are you doing this to live the trust of the two Tang emperors?"
Li Hongzhang, Lin Xiangru and others all said with a look of embarrassment: "Queen Mother, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but what's the point of resisting stubbornly is better than taking our lives, in order to save the Tang nation, even if the Tang Kingdom is destroyed, we can't let the Tang people be wiped out."
"Where is the jealousy" the eldest grandson Wujian shouted, "Arrest these guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and bewitch the hearts of the army" The eldest grandson Wujian's voice was a little hysterical, a pair of eyes were crazy, she hated two men the most in her life, one was Li Shimin, and the other was Liu Wei, the eldest grandson Wujian would rather die than surrender to Liu Wei. has already been insulted by Liu Wei once, and the eldest grandson Wujian will never allow such a thing to happen a second time.
"The Last Will Do Duty" Eight feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, and a strong man, Qing Ji agreed, and led dozens of "Imperial Forest Army" to rush up, arresting Li Hongzhang, Lin Xiangru, Qin Hui and other civilian officials who advocated surrender, and put them in prison.
Qiu Shenji suggested to the eldest grandson Wuji: "The country can't be without a king for a day, Yuanba has been dead for more than half a month, and it's time to appoint the crown prince to the throne and become the emperor."
Even if our Tang Kingdom is going to perish tomorrow, we must not be without a monarch."
"Quasi-Concert" The eldest grandson Wujian happily obeyed, and ordered Qiu Shenji, Huang Xishan, Cui Zhen and other civil officials to preside over the ceremony, and supported his son Li Erba, who was less than one year old, to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and changed the country name to Zhenguan, and the eldest grandson Wujian was moved to the queen mother.
The infant Li Erba had just become the emperor in the afternoon, and Qingji and other generals instigated the eldest grandson Wujian to ascend the throne and become the emperor in the afternoon: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is young and cannot handle political affairs, so it is better for the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne and be the first empress of the ages."
Even if you only do it for one day, you can go down in history."
The eldest grandson Wujian paced back and forth in the main hall, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his desperate eyes, and he murmured: "Yes, even if the mourning family wants to lose to Liu Wei, it should be in the emperor's position, why should women be inferior to men, why should women be trampled under the feet of men, I want to be the emperor."
If I can't take revenge on Liu Wei, I will first usurp Li Shimin's Li regime, so that he can't turn a blind eye under Jiuquan."
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the eldest grandson Wujian ordered to summon Qiu Shenji, Huang Xishan, Cui Zhen and other civil officials, and announced to them that he was ready to ascend the throne and become the emperor and the decision to be the empress of the Tang Dynasty.
"How can this be done, it's ridiculous" Qiu Shenji was furious when he heard this, "Eldest grandson Wuji, you don't want to gain an inch, we are waiting to support the crown prince to succeed to the throne is to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, why should we support you as a woman's family to be the empress, how can you dare to covet the throne, it is really arrogant" The eldest grandson Wuji, who was wearing a phoenix crown and sitting upright, snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the mourning family to destroy Li Longji, if it weren't for the mourning family to preside over the relocation of the capital to Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty would have died a long time ago, and the mourning family is the mother of the second tyrant. ” Qin Hui, Zhuge Dan and others stood up and echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, Your Majesty is too young to govern, and the Queen Mother ascended the throne and said that the emperor holds great power, and we support the decision of the Queen Mother."
Qiu Shenji, Cui Zhen and others scolded, and scolded the eldest grandson Wujian demon girl for disrupting the country, usurping power and seeking positions, all of which were taken down by Qingji and the samurai, and Li Hongzhang, Lin Xiangru and others were placed in prison, waiting to be sent down.
After a morning of preparation, under the auspices of Qin Hui, the eldest grandson Wujian wore a dragon robe and an imperial crown, sat on the dragon chair to accept the worship of dozens of civil and military officials of the Tang State, and then ascended the throne and became the emperor, changed the country name to "Han", and became the first empress in history. t1706231537:
