Chapter 512 Establishing a new emperor
What a big trouble.
What is Linghuye’s slogan for entering the Pass?
Execute traitors and sycophants, and clear the emperor's side.
This traitor is naturally Wei Zhengdao, Kou Zhong and other people who control the court.
After fighting for several years, the Qin Dynasty was riddled with holes and ruined. Finally, Luoyang was captured and Chang'an was captured. The traitors fled in embarrassment, but in the end they killed the emperor they wanted to protect.
Countless envoys rushed from Hanzhong and Shu to various parts of the Qin Dynasty. They even issued an obituary notice to Danyang of Chu State that the emperor of Qin died in Hanzhong County.
How did you die?
Of course he was killed by Linghu Shili.
The process and timeline are extremely clear.
On the eighth day of July, on the eve of the city of Chang'an being breached, Wei Zhengdao, the chief auxiliary of the Qin Dynasty, fled south with the emperor, and Linghu Ye's general Linghu Shili led an army in hot pursuit.
On August 15, Linghu Shili's army fought fiercely with the imperial troops in Hanzhong County and invaded Hanzhong County.
Wei Zhengdao, the chief auxiliary of the imperial court, and his son Wei Yi resisted bravely and sent a letter for help to Zhang Songlin, the governor of Shu.
At the end of August, the Wei family father and son, who had resisted for more than ten days in Hanzhong County, finally lost to Linghu Shili and both died in battle. Linghu Shili conquered Hanzhong County and committed treasonous acts, killing Emperor Qin Li Ping immediately set fire to the city, intending to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
On September 1, Sima Wude, the Sichuan Army, led the Shu Army to Hanzhong County through Jinniu Road and launched a counterattack against Linghu Shili.
After a series of fierce battles, Linghu Shili lost to Wu De, and the entire army was annihilated in Hanzhong County. Linghu Shili refused to surrender and was killed by the rebel army.
Li Ping was killed, and Qin officially entered the era of no masters.
Linghuye’s political correctness in entering the customs was completely shattered by this announcement.
Although it was just a facade and a flag, now that the facade is gone, its harmfulness has emerged.
Spies from Zhiqiuyuan and Heibingtai were dispatched one after another. So-called notices revealing the truth like this were posted everywhere in the Qin Dynasty.
Are you, Linghuye, the Qingjun side or the Qingjun?
Now it is clear at a glance.
The heart of rebellion is revealed.
The world is in commotion and people are excited.
Even if no one dares to speak loudly under the edge of the sword, privately, public opinion is fierce.
There was deathly silence in Tai Chi Palace.
The opponent's game is almost unsolvable.
It also left Linghuye unable to argue. He was the one who attacked Chang'an, he was the one who sent troops to pursue him, and he was the one who attacked Hanzhong. So it was only natural that the emperor died in his hands, forming a perfect closed loop based on logic.
You Linghuye just want to imitate the ancestors of the Li family three hundred years ago!
It's just that you were a little too eager.
"The only thing that can be done now is to support a new emperor immediately." Li Guohua said: "In this way, we can effectively counter the claim that the commander-in-chief entered the pass for the purpose of treason."
"Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting? It's unnecessary!" Wang De objected loudly: "Li Ping will die when he dies. The commander-in-chief just took this opportunity to ascend the throne and become emperor. Wasn't Li Qing, the ancestor of the Li family, also in the attack? After Chang'an established himself as emperor, why couldn't the commander-in-chief do what they did? "
"This time is the same as that time!" Li Guohua retorted: "At that time, there was no Li Dachui stationed outside the pass, and there was no Zudao. Although there are resistance forces in the eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River, they are all incompetent and fighting on their own. Now that Li Dachui and the others have created such a situation, they are clearly trying to compete with the commander-in-chief for the hearts of the people. If the commander-in-chief ascends the throne at this time, wouldn't it be possible? We happened to fall into the opponent's trick and announced to the world what happened in Hanzhong. Is that what we did? Now that we have strong soldiers and horses, whoever dares to disobey will be killed!”
Li Guohua was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. Wang De is now determined to be the first person to support Ling Huye on the throne. No matter what the situation, he will support Ling Huye on the throne. As for other objective conditions, they do not exist for him at all.
If things were so simple, why would Li Dachui blame Ling Huye?
Things like people's hearts cannot be seen or touched, but they actually exist. When it comes to luck, 90% represents people's hearts.
When the time comes, heaven and earth will help, and the heroes will not be free.
"Commander!" Li Guohua looked at Ling Huye who was looking up. He believed that Ling Huye was not so short-sighted. Ascending the throne as emperor can be done sooner or later, but if things go wrong, there will be disaster.
"The Wei family and his son fled west and took away almost all the royal family. Now in Chang'an City, can any descendants of the Li family be found who are qualified to succeed to the throne?" Linghu Ye said: "The British Emperor had three sons, Li Jimin, Li Anmin, and Li Huimin. . Now that all of Li Anmin's direct descendants are dead, Li Huimin's family was also killed by Li Dachui in Shu. After counting, only Li Jimin, the son of the former deposed prince, is the most justified. "
"This is why Li Dachui set up such a trap for us in Hanzhong County!" Li Guohua sighed: "This man has great foresight and every move has deep meaning, but we are trapped now. There is no other way, so we can only settle for the next best thing. Commander, it doesn't matter whether he is directly related to the British Emperor. As long as this person is from the Li family, we can also appoint such a person as the emperor in Chang'an. But blocking the mouth of Youyou in the world can also give those who are originally swaying an excuse to stand on our side."
Linghuye nodded: "Then go find it right away. Li Shi founded the country three hundred years ago. In the new year, the royal family is spreading. Is it possible that in the huge city of Chang'an, there is still no one named Li? Wang De, the sooner you do it, the better!"
Wang De bowed and said: "Yes, Marshal. Within three days, I will bring such a person to the Marshal. As long as the Marshal agrees, he will be the new emperor of Great Qin!"
Order Hu Ye laughed, looked around at everyone and said: "Wang De said something right before, that is, the emperor will be the one with strong soldiers and horses. As long as we continue to win on the battlefield and beat the opponents into a state of disarray, then The rest is nothing. Guohua, next you should stay in Luoyang, with He Zudao, focus on talks, and at the same time, use fighting to promote talks, and make He Zudao understand that he wants to fight for the world. The most cost-effective way is to join us. If Li Dachui really gains power, I'm afraid he will be taken to the execution ground and be cut into pieces!"
"Yes!"
"Chang Lei!"
"The end is here!" Chang Lei took a step forward.
"Although Guanlong, Gansu, Qingning and other places have been pacified, there are still resistance forces that continue to suppress them. I will give you one year to completely pacify these places. Are you confident?"
“The last general takes command!”
