After Wei Zhaodu communicated with Wei Fufeng, he returned to his residence and wrote a letter with a pen.

A letter was written intermittently and deleted and revised many times. As a senior official, I felt it was difficult to write for the first time.

He handed the letter to his two confidants to Chang'an. Wei Zhaodu waited for the reply. After his wife's persuasion, he made a decision. If the emperor did not want to hand over three thousand troops to him, he would say he would not return sick.

It was not that he wanted to threaten the emperor, but that there was no military power available. He could only live in a corpse position when he returned to Chang'an.

Wei Zhaodu's letter was still on the way, but something shocking happened in Chang'an City.

After being defeated by the Binning Jiedushi Wang Xingyu, he joined forces with the Chinese Shang Jiedushi Han Jian, and the two vassal states hit it off.

The Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Maozhen, forced himself to force Wang Xingyu to force the emperor together.

The three towns in the pass each led an army of 10,000 and marched into Chang'an City with great momentum. Their slogan was to clear the ruling emperor and eliminate the traitors who were wronged, and pointed the finger at Wei Zhaodu and Li Xi.

In fact, he planned to depose Zhaozong, and appointed King Ji Li Bao as the emperor. Wang Xingyu must let out a sigh of anger.

The troops of the vassal states were at the city, and the guards of Chang'an City Gate actually abandoned the gate in fear, which made the troops of the vassal states easily enter Chang'an City, and the fierce soldiers arrived at the Daming Palace.

Zhaozong was so scared that he fainted. After being frightened, he had to go to Anfu Gate.

At the city gate, Zhaozong held the female wall and looked out, and saw the black and messy military force, which was so scared that he shook his head.

After all, Zhaozong was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He had self-esteem, and now he was cut off from retreat. He gritted his teeth and made a fuss and shouted: "You are here without summoning me, what's the point?"

Wang Xingyu, Li Maozhen and Han Jian outside the palace gate saw the emperor on their backs. After hearing the emperor's shouts, they couldn't help but look at each other.

They came in a fierce manner, and thought the emperor would be frightened or dare not see him. They took the opportunity to depose Zhaozong and support King Ji Li Bao as the emperor.

But when the emperor saw them, he shouted and questioned them, which was beyond their expectations.

When things come to an end, they all realize that they can't be the first to be a leader, otherwise they will suffer the same infamous as Dong Zhuo, which will not be worth the loss.

They stared at each other with big eyes, among which Li Maozhen was the least willing to be the first bird. He had not targeted the emperor for a while, followed the advice of his advisers, managed Hanzhong and Xichuan, strengthened the army, and accumulated power.

Li Maozhen participated in the palace, one was to give Wang Xingyu face, and the other was to crack down on the emperor's prestige, which was in line with his development interests.

Wang Xingyu didn't know how to respond to the emperor, so he couldn't shout that someone would come to depose you.

Wang Xingyu also knew that the consequences were inappropriate when deposed the emperor for no reason. He did not have the ability to imitate Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty.

Han Jian was born in a rampant family, but he had been committed to people's livelihood for many years and was already familiar with the way of officials. He had to respond and shout: "Your Majesty, I will clear the king's side and kill the treacherous ministers."

"Yes, Wei Zhaodu is a treacherous minister. Wei wants to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. I cannot sit idly by and ask Your Majesty to kill the treacherous minister." Wang Xingyu immediately shouted loudly and waved his hand.

"Please kill the treacherous ministers, Wei Zhaodu, and the treacherous ministers." Wang Xingyu's subordinates roared in chaos.

"There is also Li Xi, a treacherous minister, who should be killed." Wang Xingyu shouted, and his subordinates shouted, and their momentum was shocking.

Hearing that the Three Feudals' offenses were not directed at him, Zhaozong became calm and his thinking became clear. He whispered loudly: "Wei Zhaodu is highly respected and respected. Although he is guilty, he is definitely not a treacherous minister. All the governors should abide by their duties and please go to the place of their own."

"If the treacherous ministers are not eliminated, the ministers will not

Leave him, please do not be obsessed with it." Wang Xingyu shouted loudly, and his subordinates immediately clamored, and some even shouted to attack the city.

Zhaozong was so scared that his face looked like earth, he was trembling and calm, and his heart was swaying. He quickly realized rationally that he would never surrender to the vassal states and kill the prime minister.

Du Rangneng's death has already caused the consequences of the court officials being disloyal and moral.

However, Zhaozong could not suppress his fear. He was afraid that the soldiers of the vassal states would really attack the Daming Palace. Once such consequences occurred, he would not only be unable to protect himself, but even the relatives in the palace would suffer bad luck.

The noise outside became more and more harsh. Zhaozong couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned his head and called the eunuch.

When the eunuch received the order, he lay down at the trunk and shouted: "Your Majesty's order to remove Wei Zhaodu and Li Xi from the court. Wei Zhaodu is appointed as the governor of Wuzhou and Li Xi is appointed as the governor of Bazhou. If you are loyal, please return to our town immediately."

"There is also the governor of Hezhong Prefecture, who deserves inheritance from his former parent-child Wang Gong. Please ask Your Majesty to recognize Wang Gong and uphold the orthodox." Wang Xingyu shouted for a request.

The eunuch turned around and saw the emperor nodding, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty is allowed to report that Wang Gong is appointed as the governor of Hezhong. Please return to our town."

The three vassal commanders discussed with each other, and finally Wang Xingyu shouted: "I am worried that Your Majesty is obsessed with it, sheltering the treacherous ministers, and stationed in the city to wait for the imperial edict."

Zhaozong was furious and had no choice but to order Wei Zhaodu and Li Xi to leave Chang'an immediately to take office, recognize Wang Gong's imperial edict as the governor of Hezhong, and also gave it to the three towns within the pass.

The three towns in the pass still refused to retreat and occupied Chang'an, intending to find an opportunity to depose Zhaozong, and supported King Ji Li Bao as the emperor, so as to hold the emperor to command the princes.

.....

Only Li Xi could receive the emperor's derogatory imperial edict. Li Xi and his son Li Xian hurriedly left through the Right Yintai Gate of the Daming Palace.

As soon as he left the palace, Li Xian urged his father to speak anxiously: "Father, we cannot go home, so it is best to leave Chang'an directly."

"Bastard, how can I go all out?" Li Xi cursed, venting her panic and humiliation in her heart to her son.

"Father, the soldiers and generals of the vassal states killed Wuchang, and they might be rebels going to their homes to commit murder." Li Xian persuaded.

"If I am a prime minister once, I am like a dog who has lost his family, how can I face the world in the future? Since I have been dismissed from office, what is the point of killing the vassal states? If you are afraid, walk by yourself." Li Xi said angrily.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian actually responded: "The son obeyed his father's order."

Looking at Li Xian's back as he turned around and left, Li Xi was so angry that she almost fainted. She opened her mouth and couldn't speak. Finally, she angrily shook her sleeves and returned to her home with her slaves. After getting some clothes, she left Chang'an City normally.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Duting Post, he was suddenly chased by dozens of cavalrymen. The leader of the cavalry faced Li Xi and asked in a bad voice: "Are you Li Xi?"

Li Xi nodded in fear and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

As a result, the leader drew his sword and beheaded without saying a word, and all the followers who followed Li Xi were killed.

Li Xi didn't understand until his death. He didn't even become a Beijing official, so why did the vassal states come to kill him?

The leader killed Li Xi and his party and went back to reply to Wang Xingyu. Wang Xingyu sneered proudly. The main reason for chasing Li Xi was intended to drag Li Maozhen into the water.

Li Xi was killed soon reported to Chang'an City.

Li Maozhen was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't care much, thinking that Wang Xingyu's approach was to demonstrate to the emperor and vent his anger.

But while the strategist Zhou Jing was accompanying him, he told Li Maozhen that Wang Xingyu's motive for murder was not simple, and he intended to anger the forces of the southern Sichuan Army.

Wang Xingyu wanted to visit the three towns and Sichuan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The Southern Army started fighting and destroyed the strong army of Fengxiang Army.

The strategist also said that Wang Xingyu was purely a common man. He thought that he could use Fengxiang Army and Tongguan Army to fight against the southern Sichuan Army, but he ignored whether the Hedong Army would participate in the war within the inner army.

Li Maozhen was furious when he heard this. If the three towns in the Guannei fought against the southern Sichuan army, he would be confident that he would be defeated. However, if the Hedong army joined the war, he felt that his chances of winning were not great, and he could not help but scold Wang Xingyu for being stupid.

Zhou Jing gave Li Maozhen two solutions.

First, prepare for a war, and mobilize Hanzhong and Xichuan troops to support Fengxiang Prefecture at any time based on the movement information of the Hedong Army.

Second, I immediately wrote a letter to the emperor to explain to the emperor, and clear the charges of killing the prime minister.

Li Maozhen was as good as a stream of good deeds. His alliance with Wang Xingyu was already in disagreement, peeping at each other and guarding against each other.

Wang Xingyu planned to plot against him first, and he didn't need to ignore his feelings. Anyway, his power was much stronger than Wang Xingyu, so he was not afraid of breaking up.

When the emperor received the news of Li Xi's murder, he was mixed with grief and fear, and he became more worried and afraid that the next step for the three towns in the pass would be to kill the monarch.

In fear, he secretly asked people to ask Hezhong Prefecture and Hedong Army for help.

The eunuch who asked for help left for two days, and Li Maozhen's letter of departure was also sent to the emperor.

The emperor was surprised to see that the three towns in the pass were not united. So his call for help would lead a wolf into the house.

The emperor was in a tangle, worried that the three towns in the pass would attack, and was worried that it was easy to ask for the gods and sent them to the gods.

The emperor's worries were redundant, so he forced the emperor to issue an order in the three towns in Guannei. He Zhongfu's spies in Chang'an immediately reported to Wang Ke.

Wang Ke was shocked and afraid that the coalition forces of the three towns in the pass came, so he asked someone to ask for help from the Hedong Army without hesitation.

Li Keyong was furious when he was informed. In his eyes, the vassal states in the inner world were just clowns who dared to offend the power of the tiger.

Li Keyong mobilized 30,000 troops and ordered the governor of Zezhou Li Hanzhi to be the vanguard and prepare to march into the pass in a large scale.

Before the Hedong Army arrived, Wang Ke told his subordinates that the Hedong Army was about to arrive and began to prepare for crossing the Yellow River in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

The three towns in the pass received rumors, and the generals were skeptical, and each had a grudge against each other, so they retreated and returned to their own towns.

When he retreated, he discussed leaving the troops to intimidate the emperor. Han Jian had already intervened in Chang'an.

Li Maozhen left behind three thousand military forces, led by his adopted son Li Jipeng, and acted cheaply.

Wang Xingyu left his younger brother Wang Xing to make an appointment to guard Chang'an.

Li Keyong's military orders sent to Shuofang, ordering his daughter Li Yuzhu to send 5,000 troops to join the war.

Li Yuzhu responded and ordered Tong Shan to prepare to send troops to capture Fangzhou. At the same time, the messenger of the fifth uncle Wei Liang, who once the war begins, will send troops to capture Qinzhou.

......

Wei Fufeng and Wei Zhaodu from Chang'an were unable to obtain information within the pass in the short term. The uncle and nephew walked together and left Guizhou leisurely to Xiangzhou to visit Liu Chonggui.

Liu Chonggui and Wei Zhaodu have known each other for decades. Although they have no close friends, they still have a common friendship.

Liu Yue'e accompanied her daughter Wei Yan'er.

Tian Wen'er took the lead alone. Her mission was to inspect the garrison and strengthen the authority of the commander. Xiangzhou and Liuzhou each stationed 5,000 military farms.
