(Thanks to wsssssssss88, Little Feilong Jian, Lin Shuangyi, and the hero of the sword☆. Thank you, especially thank you to the Little Feilong Jian Hero for the 1888 reward from the helm leader, thank you!)

In October of the fourth year of Qianfu, Li Jing launched a thunder attack and wiped out the troops of Wang Jingwu, deputy envoy of the deputy envoy of Ziqing, captured the entire territory of Ziqing, and completely controlled Ziqing Town. After Li Jing defeated Wang Jingwu, he immediately found several of the most famous pens in Dengzhou and wrote an article listing the numerous crimes committed by Wang Jingwu after taking office as Deputy Ambassador of Ziqing, and cited evidence of the crimes one by one. Li Jing said that as the governor of Ziqing Town, it was an unshirkable responsibility to maintain the peace of the people of Ziqing. Wang Jingwu, a rebel general, surrendered and rebelled again, had the obligation and responsibility to eradicate such rebellious ministers for the court.

Li Jing announced the letter to the world and sent envoys to Chang'an to report to the emperor.

The world was shocked for a moment, and many people praised Li Jing's actions. Wang Jingwu was originally a rebel general, but he should not be appointed after the last time he was captured. He made a hundred miles away in Ziqing Town, and the sky was angry and people resented. Li Jing sent troops to wipe out him. This is exactly what he should do. There are many people in this attitude, especially in various places, after promoting the numerous crimes committed by Wang Jingwu and promoting the comparison of half of Ziqing under Li Jing's governance, more people supported Li Jing.

Of course, some people immediately used this to attack Li Jing, saying that Li Jing was domineering and attacking the imperial army and officials. This was a rebellion. The court wanted the imperial court to attack Li Jing, a rebel general who held his own troops and separatist positions.

In the court, Lu Zhi and Tian Lingzi agreed to propose that Li Jing was inappropriate and wanted to impeach Li Jing. However, many people in the court had to protect Li Jing, such as Prime Minister Yu Cong, Zheng Ting, Wang Duo, Li Wei and others stood on Li Jing's side. There were even Cui Anqian, the Minister of Personnel who had just entered Beijing. They also supported Li Jing in the court, and in turn impeached Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie for impeachment of Wang Jingwu's improper handling last time, which caused Ziqing to suffer severe damage.

Song Wei, who was recuperating in Beijing, also contacted many local commanders, such as Zheng Cong-yi, Zhenwu Jiedu, Yu Vin, Deputy Envoy of Datong Jiedu, Du Qing, Defense Commander of the Eastern Capital, Li Zhuo, Jiedu, Li Zhuo, Jiedu, Zhennan Army, Cui Yunqing, Jiedu, and Lingnan West Road Jiedu, and more than a dozen other commanders, to support Li Jing together.

The court was talking for a while and there was constant quarrel.

However, before they could find a result, the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu, Gao Pian, reported to the governor of the army, said that Li Jing sent troops to pretend to be pirates to attack the coastal prefectures and counties, looting people and rob property. He said that Li Jing was treasonous and asked the court to convict Li Jing of the crime of rebellion and allowed him to send troops to attack Li Jing with the towns.

However, Li Jing immediately filed a letter to Chang'an, saying that Gao Pian and others robbed the goods of the merchants under the town, Ziqing Town, and Andong Protectorate. He asked the court to uphold justice.

The local grudges between Li Jing and Gao Pian, two famous generals of the court, triggered a fight between Tian Lingzi and Zhang Tai, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and other eunuchs in Chang'an. At the same time, Lu Xie and Zheng Ting and other political affairs ministers also took advantage of this matter to make efforts, and the court and palace fought for the party, which was very happy.

There was a smoky moment, because Li Jing and Gao Pian had a transcendent status. One was the first prince of a different surname since the three dynasties, and with heavy troops in hand, he had just seized the Liaodong Peninsula and destroyed Wang Jingwu. The other was also a famous general for many years. The grandson of the prince, the descendant of the famous family in Bohai. He just carried the credit for defeating the invasion of Nanzhao. After returning to the Central Plains, he was re-elected as the governor of Jingnan, the governor of Zhenhai and the deputy ambassador of Huainan, and defeated the thieves. Now he has the wealth and power of the southeast, and has both military power and financial power, and should not be underestimated.

The two famous generals each had a strong alliance in the court, and for a moment, no one could deal with each other.

However, just as the court and the middle were fighting each other, Huang Chao, who had entered Lingnan from Fujian, was unwilling to be lonely and made a big noise.

After Huang Chao's troops surrounded Guangzhou City, they did not immediately attack the city. Instead, they asked Cui Yu, the captured former Zhejiang East Observer, to write a letter to Li Tiao, the governor of Lingnan East Road, who had been trapped in the lonely city of Guangzhou. Through this channel, Li Tiao wrote a letter to the court, claiming that as long as the court actually gave him the governor of Tianping and asked him to retain his army and return home in glory. Then he gave up attacking Guangzhou and reconciled with the court.

Huang Chao asked the court to surrender, but he was also confused about his future. He had been in the army for almost four years and had fought thousands of miles, but in the end he had no place to settle down. Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang, Wang Chongyin, Tang Ju, Cao Shixiong and other leaders of the thief were wiped out one after another.

First, he rushed from the Central Plains to the Jianghuai River, from the Jianghuai River to the Shannan, from the Shannan to the Jiangdong, and recently to the poor mountains and rivers of Lingnan. What puts great pressure on him was that Li Jing, the killing god, dared not stand in the Central Plains. Now, Gao Pian, the killing god, is in the southeast and serves as the governor. Whether it is Li Jing or Gao Pian, he and Cao Jun are no match for him. Every time they fight, they will be defeated, especially when they fight Gao Pian last time, after a few battles, more than a dozen Cao Jun generals surrendered Gao Pian.

From Fujian to Lingnan, although Huang Chao gathered 100,000 soldiers, he was not confident. Taking advantage of the fact that he had some capital, Huang Chao finally wanted to invite peace to the court. If the court could let him go back to his hometown to be a governor and retain his troops, it would be better than running around like now.

After all, Wang Jingwu became the deputy ambassador after being captured and retained his troops. He thought that he was now in his hands and threatened the emperor's wallet, so the emperor should have a talk with him.

When this letter arrived in Chang'an, the political affairs hall, which was originally lively because of Li Jing and Gao Pian, caused an unprecedentedly fierce quarrel. The two leaders in the quarrel were of course Lu Xie and Zheng Ting.

Everyone simply let go of the quarrel between Li Jing and Gao Pian, which could not be concluded, and then started arguing about this matter again.

Zheng Ting agreed to recruit Huang Chao. He said: "The fundamental reason for Huang Chao's rebellion was that the country encountered famine and a large number of hungry people could not make a living. The country had not used troops for a long time, and the soldiers forgot how to fight. The vassal commanders in various places had no intention of exercising efforts to suppress the thieves, and only swept away the snow in front of their own doors, regardless of the frost on others. Under the current circumstances, it is better to temporarily tolerate Huang Chao, perfunctorily meet his requirements, let him be restrained, and do not attack cities and land. Once the good harvest comes, the hungry people under his command will naturally fall apart and go home. At that time, they will be defeated without fighting!" His words intentionally or unintentionally implied that after Gao Pian was promoted to the commander-in-chief, he did not mind suppressing the thieves, but instead robbed Li Jing's goods.

In response to this, Lu Xie's reaction was as always, and he opposed whatever Zheng Ting supported him.

Especially Zheng Ting's words pointed out that Gao Pian had dereliction of duty, and Gao Pian was strongly supported. If he accepted the recruitment at this time, wouldn't he admit that Gao Pian's dereliction of duty? Then his faction will naturally be hit. Therefore, Lu Xie firmly opposed the recruitment. "What difficulties does Gao Pian have with his generals and the elite soldiers and generals under his command have to deal with the small enemy Huang Chao? How could he show weakness and be depressed by the enthusiasm of the soldiers from all over the world to serve the country?"

Zheng Ting disagreed and believed that Gao Pian was just a reckless man who only knew how to fight for power and profit. He was like a three-legged chair, unreliable.

The two of them became more and more stiff as they talked. Lu Xie was at a disadvantage. Lu Xie, who was so angry that his face was swollen, shook his sleeves hard, and eventually brushed a piece of ink on the table to the ground and broke it into several pieces. Ink also splashed the two prime ministers all over.

The two prime ministers were fighting so fiercely that Wang Duo, who was ranked third, took the opportunity to meet the sixteen-year-old emperor and said this matter in a vehement way.

Of course, Li Yan knew the quarrels in the court. Before, Gao Pian and Li Jing were incompatible, not only did they involve the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, but even the eunuchs in the harem were involved. As a result, he, the emperor, was forced to get involved, and he was very annoying.

Previously, Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie participated in Li Jing in front of him, saying that Li Jing was so good that he would issue an order to punish Li Jing and send troops to attack Li Jing. This made the emperor a little dissatisfied. He ignored the fight between Li Jing and Gao Pian, but Li Jing never paid a lot of tribute every year. From this point alone, he was more inclined to Li Jing.

Now Huang Chao surrounded Guangzhou, the only money-making investment that the emperor had already lost, was surrounded by the emperor. His large amount of investment in the inner treasury was about to disappear, and the two prime ministers were still quarreling to each other, which really disappointed him.

Just now, the gambling goose assisted with a large sum of money. Li Yan, who was depressed, angrily said, "How can the dignified prime minister be the example of all officials?" After that, he dismissed Lu Xie and Zheng Ting as guests of the prince at the same time. Then he asked Zhang Tai beside him, "Who can be the prime minister in the court?"

Zhang Tai immediately expressed the names of several ministers with whom he had a good relationship. The emperor was a little impatient after hearing the names. He immediately promoted the remembered Dou Lu and Cui Han to the same party, which was the same as the two prime ministers, Lu and Zheng.

Originally, the two sides were evenly arguing, but no one expected that the young emperor would intervene and directly dismiss the two prime ministers. Even the backstage of the two prime ministers Tian Lingzi and Ximen Sigong did not expect that, and when they heard the news, it was no longer possible to recover.

However, Prime Minister Dou Lu and Prime Minister Cui were unexpectedly promoted to Prime Minister and entered the Political Affairs Hall.

Huang Chao didn't know that the court had asked the two prime ministers to take office because of his affairs. Seeing that he couldn't wait for a reply, he couldn't sit still and lowered the price. If he didn't give it to the governor of the Tianping Army, then he could give it to the governor of the Dongdao of Lingnan.

After discussing with the newly appointed Prime Minister, Prime Minister Cui and several other prime ministers, he finally gave Huang Chao a fourth-rank official position, and asked to disband the army and take office in Chang'an.

Huang Chao was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally waited for a person who had no sense of existence like the one who was so angry that Chang'an fell. In a rage, Huang Chao ordered an attack on Guangzhou. The fierce battle lasted only one day. Huang Chao captured Guangzhou and captured the governor Li Tiao alive. Huang Chao then ordered the looting of the whole city. After 100,000 Cao Army robbed Guangzhou, he massacred 200,000 people, of which 120,000 were the foreigners alone.

The whole of Guangzhou was filled with blood flowing for Huang Chao’s anger!

The news came back to Chang'an, causing a lot of shock. The previous comments to the emperor made Wang Duo, who was laid off from Lu Xie and Zheng Ting, feel extremely disappointed afterwards. Seeing that Guangzhou fell, he immediately ran to find the emperor and said a lot of bad things to the emperor, saying that he, the governor, was dereliction of duty, etc.

The emperor was heartbroken for losing a lot of money. When he heard this, he immediately ordered Gao Pian to remove his post as the military commander of the various camps. Wang Duo recommended himself to the emperor Mao and requested to take up the post as the military commander of the military commander. Li Yan also wanted Li Jing to take this post, but Wang Duo said that Prince Andong was using troops in western Liaoning and could not be separated, so he was willing to share the worries for the emperor.

Li Yan was a little moved and ordered Wang Duo to replace Gao Pian and serve as the governor of the various camps.

When the news came back to Yangzhou, Gao Pian almost vomited blood and sighed, "Write a letter to Li Jing, I am willing to talk to him!"

When the generals under Gao Pian heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard it wrong. When would a person like Gao Dashen still give in!
