Liu Yuniang heard the news. The ministers jointly submitted a letter for their own money bag! Liu Yuniang, who was very vigilant, did not dare to be careless and hurriedly hid behind the screen and eavesdropped on the emperor. As expected, these ministers did not have the will of loyalty to the emperor and even knocked the robbery on the head of the emperor! What's worse is that the emperor seemed to have surrendered to their unreasonable demands. If he didn't stand up bravely, he would bleed!

So Liu Yuniang, who was extremely brave and opinionated, walked out from behind the screen, with a stern face, and refuted the ministers' suggestions with righteous words. She said: "The reason why we couple can rule the world is certainly due to the war between the soldiers. But the most fundamental reason is that the destiny of heaven is the destiny! Since the number of heaven is already destined, can a few rebellious little thieves still turn the world?"

Now it was the ministers' turn to have nothing to say. Who would dare to say that destiny is a lie? Isn't God's destiny the emperor to rule the world? So the first campaign to persuade the royal treasury ended in failure.

After the ministers retreated, someone came up with an idea: "The queen used the destiny as the reason and did not cut off a penny. We also used the destiny as the reason to persuade the emperor to cut off her. See what else she has to say?" So, Dou Luge and Wei said that the two prime ministers asked to see Li Cunxu again in the palace. This time they brought a new memorial, which is the latest star-gazing report of Si Tianjian.

The report said: "Recently, I observed the celestial statue and found that a guest star invaded the Tianku constellation. The wealth of the Kufu should be distributed to resolve the disaster. At the same time, a meteor flew towards the Tianfu star. This is a sign that the general in front of the emperor used his sword and must be guarded!" So the destiny defense line set by Liu Yuniang was easily broken through.

But the ministers did not expect that she had a strange trick. A moment later, Liu Yuniang asked someone to bring a dressing table, three silver basins, and three young princes from the harem, and then said to the two prime ministers angrily: "People outside think that the palace is full of gold, silver and treasures, but they are actually all rumors! The property tributed by the princes in various places is used for rewards, and now there is only these left! You sell these and reward the three armies with the money you have obtained!"

Amid Liu Yuniang's powerful shouting and crying with the little princes in horror, Dou Luge and Wei said that the two prime ministers were shocked. If taking out a dressing table and three silver basins was just pretending to be poor, moving out the three little princes would be a naked threat and cheating! No one could go to check the palace to verify whether the queen was saying true or not. There was no way, so he could only admit defeat. The two prime ministers sued repeatedly, withdrew in a hurry, and persuaded donations, and ended in failure again.

In this way, Liu Yuniang fully utilized her intelligence and fought two fierce battles with the ministers, and finally won a great victory in the struggle to defend her own money bag! However, Liu Yuniang did not expect what kind of evil consequences her brilliant victory would bring!

At this time, Li Shaorong had retreated to Weizhou on the edge of the Yellow River and sent people to cut off the ferry on the Yellow River first. However, his focus was not on defense, but on seizing the messenger sent by Li Siyuan and completely cut off the connection between Li Siyuan and Li Cunxu.

Although Li Siyuan's confession was not received, Li Cunxu did not fully believe in Li Shaorong's accusations against Li Siyuan. In his heart, he still hoped that the news of Li Siyuan's rebellion was just a misleading. Because the bad news from all directions made Li Cunxu no longer have the confidence and conceit of the past, and his empire was still

Can he withstand the heavy blow of Li Siyuan's rebellion? He himself was also unsure.

As long as the news is not confirmed, there is no despair. Li Cunxu decided to make his last effort. If Li Siyuan can be fought back, everything will be saved. At this time, Li Siyuan's eldest son Li Congshen was serving as the commander of the golden spear in Li Cunxu's personal army. Li Cunxu summoned him and said to him: "I know your father is a loyal person, and I believe he will not have any unfaithful intentions! I will let you go to your father now and tell him that I have always trusted him and let him come back with peace of mind and don't have any worries."

So, Li Congshen was ordered to go to Xiangzhou and persuade Li Siyuan to return to the court. But as soon as he arrived in Weizhou, he was stopped and unable to leave. In order to prevent his accusation against Li Siyuan, Li Shaorong unwillingly disobeyed Li Cunxu's imperial edict and arrested Li Congshen and prepared to kill him!

Li Congshen argued: "Since you don't believe my father and don't allow me to pass messages from my father, you should at least allow me to go back to Beijing to protect the emperor." Li Shaorong then agreed and put him back to Luoyang. Seeing that Li Congshen came back, Li Cunxu knew that he had not completed his mission, so he could only sigh.

Li Cunxu did not hold Li Shaorong responsible. After all, the world is uneasy now and the world is in chaos. Li Shaorong is one of the few generals who can make him trust. He dare not easily cut off his arms. Then please appease Li Congshen. Li Cunxu gave him the name Li Jijing and regarded him as an adopted son.

At the same time, in Xiangzhou, the memorials sent were not responding to Emperor Li Cunxu, and Li Siyuan's hesitation became less and less. Li Siyuan's third confidant and son-in-law Shi Jingtang, seeing the time was ripe, took the lead in breaking the window paper.

Shi Jingtang said: "All the most important things have always been accomplished by decisiveness and hesitation! How can the generals and rebels enter the thief city in this world and can still go back safely and not settle accounts after autumn?" His meaning was very clear. You should wake up quickly. Apart from rebellion, you have no way out!

Shi Jingtang also suggested: "Bianliang connects the Yellow River and the Bian River, connects Huai, Si, and Huai, Wei in the south, which is the key point of controlling the world. Please give me 300 cavalry to attack and occupy it. If you succeed, you will lead the army to follow up. In this way, there will be safety."

Another person named Kang Yicheng was even more straightforward and said: "The Lord is stupid and unruly, and the soldiers and civilians in the world have long been resentful! If you obey the hearts of the whole people, you will be alive; if you stick to the integrity of the ministers, you will die!"

Li Siyuan did not hesitate anymore and took the final step. He called An Chonghui and asked him to draft documents and mail the vassal states in the world: let them gather their troops and move closer to themselves. With Li Siyuan's current position, he certainly did not have the power to mobilize the troops of the vassal states in the world. The person with this power can only be the emperor of the empire Li Cunxu.

But at this moment, Li Siyuan had no room for turning back, so he could only formally create a rebellion of his own nominal brothers, and appealed to the various vassal states and armies in the world: Are you willing to follow me now? Or will you continue to be loyal to Li Cunxu?

The soldiers of various towns who used to do various ways to Li Cunxu and dare not speak out have finally found a new leader with enough weight to represent their wishes. So, after receiving Li Siyuan's manifesto, they responded one after another.

Li Congke, who was sent to Shimen to guard the border by Li Cunxu, responded without hesitation after learning that his adoptive father had resigned.

He called the hundreds of warriors around him and said, "Let's go, I will conquer the world for our old generals in the future!" So he took these hundreds of cavalrymen and galloped south. To the south of them was Zhenzhou, the Zhending Mansion of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Li Siyuan's family was originally in Taiyuan. After the application for transferring Li Congke to Taiyuan for employment failed, Li Siyuan, as the governor of Chengde, moved his wife and children to his own resident Zhenzhou. After Li Siyuan issued an eunuch to the world and rebelled, Chengde's military supervisor planned to arrest Li Siyuan's family. However, the military supervisor could not take such a rough job, and the one responsible for arresting people in the city was founded by the King of Yuhou.

Wang Jian was an old soldier born in Daibei and was known for his strict and cruel law enforcement. In the past, he punished Li Cunxu for being unlucky because he was not afraid of the powerful and noble, which made Li Cunxu furious. He survived the disaster with Li Siyuan's help.

At this moment, Wang Jian felt that it was his time to repay his kindness. He immediately took the soldiers, attacked the government office, and killed the eunuchs in the army, and kept the safety of Li Siyuan's family. Then, Wang Jian met with Li Congke, assembled the army, and went south to join Li Siyuan.

At the same time, Li Shaoqian, the Qizhou defense envoy stationed at Waqiao Pass, Li Shaoying, the Beizhou governor, An Shentong, the commander of the Right Horse Army stationed at Fenghua Army, and Fu Xi, the governor of Pinglu, who was stranded in Henan, also joined Li Siyuan's rebel camp. Most of the Jieshou and the governor who had no action at the moment were also on both ends of the rat, and they sat on the success or failure.

On March 17, with Li Siyuan's edict to the world, news of the response of the military and horses of various vassal states reaching Luoyang. The situation is already very clear: in the past few days, the situation that Li Cunxu wanted to avoid was not successful. Li Siyuan's rebellion is no longer a suspicion, but a fact that is happening!

For Li Cunxu, these days were not without good news. On March 9, in the distant Shu area, Ren Yuan, Meng Zhixiang and others captured Hanzhou and captured the rebel general Kang Yanxiao. The rebellion in Shu area was quelled. Li Jiji's expeditionary army was able to return to Luoyang with scarce money and food.

But seeing their long journey back, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be later than Li Siyuan's rebels' progress in the south, so it will be too late! Li Cunxu could no longer remain calm. Now it seems that except for himself, others cannot be Li Siyuan's opponent. But judging from the extremely sluggish morale of the capital garrison, even if he goes out to fight in person, it may be a little bit of luck. So Li Cunxu began to cram in an emergency and ordered all the troops to reward them.

Of course, there is no money in the treasury, so not only did Li Cunxu empty out the part of his own treasury, but Li Cunxu's confidant members, such as Li Shaohong, the envoy of the treasury, and Jing Jin, also donated a lot of gold, silver and silk to alleviate the national crisis. Only Liu Yuniang was extremely firm and would never compromise.

But the soldiers received the emperor's reward, but no one appreciated it. While walking, they cursed angrily: "Our wife and children have all starved to death. What's the use of rewarding these now?"

On March 18, Li Shaorong returned to Luoyang from Weizhou and reported to Li Cunxu: "The rebels of Yedu have gone south to occupy Bozhou. It seems that they plan to cross the Yellow River from there, enter Yunzhou and Bianliang. It is estimated that only Your Majesty can surrender them in person." So Li Cunxu finally made up his mind and prepared to fight in person.
