Li Cunxu happily accepted Duan Ning's suggestion, and naturally added a few names he wanted to kill to the edict: "Jing Xiang, Li Zhen assisted Zhu Wen, and jointly subverted the Tang Dynasty, slaughtered the royal family, and killed court officials. The crimes are unforgivable! Although Jing Xiang committed suicide, it is not enough to offset his crime. There is also the Khitan Sala Aba who rebelled against his brother, abandoned his biological mother, and failed the emperor's favor and betrayed the country. These people should be tied up with Zhao Yan and others to the street market, and the whole family will be executed!"

On October 16th, except for Jing Xiang and Zhao Yan, who had died first, all the people and their families on the list were tied to Bianqiao and asked for a lawsuit. Guo Chongtao was right, Li Zhen was just an ordinary mediocre man. He didn't realize that others could surrender to Tang, but he and Jing Xiang could not surrender to Tang! His knees and surrender only won him a short six days of life and a stigma that would be forever ridiculed and scolded.

If even Jingxiang, Li Zhen and other "accomplices" were destroyed, how would Li Cunxu treat Zhu Wen, the dead "culprit"? Will Zhu Wen's lament that said, "I will die without a place to bury!" into reality?

While Duan Ning, Du Yanqiu and other Liang generals surrendered one after another, all the vassal states that were originally affiliated with the Liang Dynasty also scattered without exception, scrambling to change their ranks and expressing their loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Wen's nephew, one of the heroes who helped Zhu Youzhen seize the throne, Yuan Xiangxian, the governor of Xuanwu Jie in the Later Liang Dynasty. Because his resident Songzhou was close to Bianliang, he became the first Houliang Jiezheng to enter the court and meet the new lord.

In the Later Liang court, no matter whether he was intimate and favored with Zhu Youzhen, or corruption, tricks and robbery, Yuan Xiangxian was no worse than Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanjie and others. Now that Zhao, Zhang and others ended up in such a situation, Yuan Xiangxian could not be worried.

However, as a corrupt official, Yuan Xiang first believed that money could make the devil push the grinding. He brought several large carts filled with gold, silver and jewelry. When he arrived in Bianliang, he bribed Li Cunxu's people. From Li Cunxu's favorite concubine Liu Yuniang, Privy Councilor Guo Chongtao, to actors and eunuchs who offered Li Cunxu's fun, he had a share.

This method was indeed effective. Within a few days, Li Cunxu's ears were filled with praise for Yuan Xiangxian. Perhaps because he believed these praises, Li Cunxu treated Yuan Xiangxian quite well and gave him the name "Li Shaoan". Soon, he sent him back to Songzhou to continue his work as the governor of Xuanwu. Later, he changed the name of "Xuanwu Army" to "Guide Army" to commend Li Shaoan's "achievement" of "subordination" of "rejection to the virtuous king".

In fact, the main reason why Yuan Xiangxian was not pursued was that he was favored by Li Cunxu was not because he was generous and willing to spend money to bribe, but because when Liang was destroyed, he happened to be the governor and had troops and territory. If Yuan Xiangxian had served in the court like Zhao Yan when Liang was destroyed, and with his identity as a relative of the Later Liang Dynasty, his reputation for corruption, and his intimate relationship with the last emperor Zhu Youzhen, his family would have been sent to the Bian Bridge to behead him for public display!

Houliang suddenly collapsed, and the remaining forces left everywhere were still very strong. These military commanders were no longer loyal to Houliang and would not fight for the Zhu family. However, if the policies introduced by Li Cunxu seriously damage their interests and lives, they could do so.

If he can continue to fight with the Later Tang Dynasty for himself, he will inevitably suffer a lot of trouble. Although the Tang army has an advantage, such a war cannot be won in the short term, and Li Cunxu's victory in destroying Liang will be greatly reduced.

Under such a general premise, Yuan Xiangxian, a powerful figure in Hou Liang who was the first to enter the country and expressed his loyalty, would definitely be treated preferentially and could not be killed.

Then came to Bianliang. A big man: Zhang Quanyi, the deputy marshal of Luoyang in Later Liang, and Zhang Quanyi, the world's military and horse deputy marshal. Compared with Yuan Xiangxian, Zhang Quanyi, who was over 70 years old, has been experienced for a long time and is a senior fence-bearer. When the Jin Dynasty met Li Cunxu, he offered a generous gift: gold coins and thousands of BMWs; on the other hand, he also applied a layer of mud on his old face to express his sincere admitting his mistake. After being a Liang minister for so many years, Zhang Quanyi apologized to Li Cunxu for his mistake of "living on to evil trees and drinking robbery springs."

Zhang Quanyi was a great achievement in rebuilding Luoyang. At that time, he was very famous and had a positive appearance, so he was considered highly respected. Of course, he should be appeased and should not be moved lightly, otherwise the negative impact would be immeasurable. Moreover, he was so aware of the current affairs and did things so well. Not only did he surrender immediately, but he brought money and didn't even want his face.

So, Li Cunxu pardoned Zhang Quanyi's "sin" and, under the "great joy", he immediately ordered the prince Li Jiji and the emperor's brother Li Cunji and others present: You are like brothers to Zhang Gong! The next year, Li Cunxu took Liu Yuniang to Zhang Quanyi's house as a guest. Zhang Quanyi spent money like soil, presented a large amount of jewelry, and tried his best to entertain the emperor and the queen.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Liu Yuniang, who had ordered someone to beat her father, suddenly said to her husband: "I have lost my parents since I was a child, so when I see an old man of the same age, I can't help but think of my parents, and I feel very friendly! Can I make me recognize Mr. Zhang as my adoptive father and relieve my filial piety?" Li Cunxu has always been obedient to Liu Yuniang's request. Although Zhang Quanyi was frightened and refused again and again, he accepted Liu Yuniang's kowtow and recognized this "adoptive daughter".

The next day, Liu Yuniang ordered Hanlin scholar Zhao Feng to help her write a letter to the family and talk about the "father-daughter relationship" with Zhang Quanyi. However, Zhao Feng felt that it was inappropriate and immediately reported to Li Cunxu: "Since ancient times, there has never been a matter of the queen recognizing her ministers as her adopted father! Is this appropriate?" Li Cunxu praised Zhao Feng and said, "You are right, you are a loyal minister! But the queen himself likes her, so don't ruin her happiness." In this way, Zhang Quanyi gave Li Cunxu's father-in-law.

In order to further please the new emperor, Zhang Quanyi proposed that the Tang Dynasty should return to the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Chang'an is ruined, so it is best to move the capital to Luoyang, where there are also the ancestral temples of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, and should go to pay homage. Six years ago, Zhu Youzhen planned to hold a ceremony to worship the sky in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, but he hurriedly gave up because the army crossed the river. However, the items of the ceremony prepared were still in Luoyang. If the emperor wanted to worship the sky in Luoyang and declare the good news of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, it would save much trouble!

After hearing this, Li Cunxu felt it was reasonable, so he decided that the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty would be set in Luoyang. The entire court began to move to Luoyang in batches. However, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang also had another thing that conflicted with the Later Tang Dynasty: that was the burial place of Zhu Wen of the Later Liang Dynasty. How should we deal with it?

Li Cunxu's original plan was to: to get the grave

He dug, split the coffin, and burned the bones to ashes with a fire! Zhang Quanyi often changed jobs to survive, but he was still a kind person and would not bite the old friends to please the new master. He sent a memorial and dissuasion: "Although Zhu Wen is the big enemy of the country, he has been dead for a long time. No matter how much he is sentenced to himself, he will not feel pain or itch. It is already a severe punishment for slaughtering his family. Please do not open the coffin and burn the corpse again, so as to show the kindness of the Holy Emperor to the world!"

Li Cunxu gave Zhang Quanyi this face, so he changed the disposal of Xuanling to shoveling the soil and cutting off all the trees. Zhu Wen did not fall to the worst situation he predicted because of his old friend's words. If there was a basically consensus on the treatment of powerful people in the Later Tang Dynasty such as Yuan Xiangxian, Zhang Quanyi and other places in the Later Liang Dynasty, there would be controversy on the other person.

Wen Tao, the governor of Kuangguo in the Later Liang Dynasty, first sent someone to send Zhao Yan's head to Bianliang to express his loyalty to the new dynasty and to explore the news. After learning that Yuan Xiangxian and Zhang Quanyi were safe and sound in the dynasty, Wen Tao also followed suit and brought a large number of gold, silver and silk to Bianliang to meet Li Cunxu.

So, the group of people around Li Cunxu became rich again. Wen Tao focused on bribing Li Cunxu's favorite concubine Liu Yuniang. The beautiful woman Liu, who was jealous of money, was very professional and worked as much as she received. She helped Wen Tao blow the pillow in Li Cunxu's ear. Li Cunxu was a good husband who favored his wife. After Wen Tao entered the court, he was soon named "Li Shaochong". From now on, we will be a family! The family doesn't have to say two more families, so after just ten days, Li Cunxu decided to send Wen Tao back to Xuzhou and continue to serve as the governor of Zhongwu Jie in the new dynasty.

After learning about Li Cunxu's decision, Guo Chongtao felt that this was a principled issue related to the foundation of the establishment of the Later Tang Dynasty and could not compromise, so he opposed: "The country called on the heroes of the world to revive the Tang Dynasty and avenge the Li family. Wen Tao once dug up the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty, and was extremely guilty and equal to Zhu Wen! Now that he has entered the court, we not only do not punish such a culprit according to law, but also let him continue to serve as a vassal state. What will the loyal and righteous people in the world view us?"

Li Cunxu obviously did not pay attention to things like status, and even pushed Guo Chongtao back: "When I first entered Bianliang, I had already issued an amnesty to them. How could I keep my word?" So Wen Tao came freely and returned freely. Wen Tao did not go there in vain. He used his smooth journey to reveal a small corner to the world that the new emperor had no principles in being a human being and did not talk about right and wrong.

Before Wen Tao entered the court, Li Cunxu was able to stabilize the people's hearts of the Later Liang vassal states by treating Yuan Xiangxian, Zhang Quanyi and others well. For Li Tang, Wen Tao had long been guilty of being unforgivable and was famous and reasonable to kill him, but the negative impact on other vassal states was actually not great.

Wen Tao was the first year of Longde in the Later Liang Dynasty, with the help of Zhao Yan, who defeated Wang Yanzhang and became the governor of Kuangguo. When the Later Liang Dynasty was destroyed, he had been in Xuzhou for less than two years. In addition, his character, ability and reputation were relatively low. Many people wanted to kill him among the Later Liang ministers, and they were far from deep in Kuangguo Town. Apart from Wen Tao, the possibility of a riot in Xuzhou was actually very small.
