May 18, 2018.

The Jinwang North Alliance defeated Meng Kai. On the same day, Li Keyong and Yang Fuguang conquered Fanglin Gate, Dong Jin then conquered Jingyao Gate, Feng Shou finally conquered Guanghua Gate, and the three coalition forces defeated the nine gates of Chang'an and all attacked Chang'an.

On the same day, Huang Chao was isolated and fled south while the chaos was in chaos. Zhu Wen, who was trapped in the north of the Heshui River, suddenly heard that Chang'an had fallen, and immediately surrendered to Wang Chongrong, who was stationed north of the Heshui River. Wang Chongrong accepted his surrender and placed him in Tongzhou, so he immediately rushed to Chang'an.

On May 19th, Zhu Li met with Shi Yan and Meng Juehai outside Chang'an City and collected the Cao army prisoners on the spot and rectified them. It was only after two days that Shi Shiran entered Chang'an. At this time, the governors, generals, governors and others who participated in the king had already completely occupied Chang'an and turned the palace upside down. I don't know how much gold and jewelry were plundered. Of course, except for those who could not move, almost all of them could be taken into the pockets of these local warlords.

In the palace, Huang Chao fled in a hurry, and many concubines, wives and daughters all became prisoners of officials from all sides; and even more, they often started to compete with each other because of a prisoner. If Zhu Li had not arrived just in time, the people of Chang'an would have been implicated and affected by military disasters.

When Zhu Li entered Chang'an, after meeting the officials, he first stopped the scramble between them, and then immediately gathered everyone, discussed the merits in public, recorded them into a book, and immediately sent someone to report to Chengdu. As for how Emperor Xizong rewarded these officials, it was not something Zhu Li had to worry about.

Zhu Li did everything he could do, and he openly wrote the book of merit, soothing the worries of the officials from all sides. Even if the rewards from the Tang court in the future were slightly biased, it had nothing to do with him. After all, he had repaid all the records of the meritorious service of all people, so what else could these officials say?

While waiting for news from Chengdu, Zhu Li was not idle. He collected nearly 60,000 Cao Army defeated soldiers in total. Chang'an was run by Huang Chao for nearly two years. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the base camp of Cao Army. Now Huang Chao has run away, Meng Kai, Huang Ye, Shang Rang and others have fled, and Zhu Wen and others have surrendered. These Cao Army defeated soldiers who were forced to stay near Chang'an have all surrendered to Zhu Li.

Why don’t they surrender to others? It is naturally because of the role of Meng Juehai, a benchmark figure. He was deeply believed under Zhu Li, and it also affected the worries of these grass army soldiers. With the example of Meng Juehai, their surrender to Zhu Li was still full of hope for their future.

Zhu Li put together everything and barely armed 40,000 soldiers of the Cao Army. However, these prisoners could not form combat power in time, so he asked Meng Juehai to take them to Fuping and asked Zhou Dewei to bring these people back to Shuozhou. For the families and relatives of the more than 60,000 soldiers of the Cao Army, he also let Meng Juehai and Zhou Dewei send them away. After all, whether in their past or present life, Zhu Li himself is the grassroots at the bottom of society, and can better understand the ties in his heart.

In early June of the second year of Zhonghe, Chengdu sent envoys to Chang'an, and Zhu Li led officials from all sides to greet him.

The person who came was a big eunuch with a fair face and no beard on his mouth. He was the famous powerful official Tian Lingzi.

Don't underestimate this eunuch, he is a great celebrity in front of Emperor Xizong. Even Emperor Xizong himself calls him "Afu" without any hesitation, and he is actually the most powerful power in the Tang court.

One of the officials.

"Welcome to everyone in Tian." The old eunuch had just arrived at the Golden Light Gate west of the imperial city. The local emperors who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to neglect them, and quickly looked flattering.

Zhu Li was naturally exceptional. He stood in front and bowed, which gave the old eunuch face. After all, as the General of the Left Wu Guard, the Grand Protector of the Shanyu, and the Third-rank General, he was in charge of the second-rank false title. In terms of status, he believed that he could still be on par with the old eunuch.

However, his behavior made Tian Lingzi feel a little unhappy. Although Zhu Li was highly recommended by Zheng Ting, Li Zhuo and others, he was not from his powerful official family after all, not to mention that Tian Lingzi and Zheng and Li were secretly a little dirty, so the old eunuch naturally looked at Zhu Li a little unhappy.

However, in public, the powerful eunuch said nothing. Zhu Li was a talented person. He had to admit that he was unwilling to hate him rashly. Instead, he said very casually: "Don't let me break the old slave, we are just a slave who runs errands and rice paper. We should not be so generous."

Tian Lingzi pretended to behave and changed the subject: "Let's stop lying outside this city, let's talk about it in the palace. What do you think of General Zhu Li?"

"Everything is up to Tian, ​​everyone is the decision." Zhu Li seemed to feel a hint of coldness from Tian Lingzi and immediately woke up.

"Well, let's go back to the palace together." As he said that, Tian Lingzi did not look at Zhu Li, but approached Yang Fuguang affectionately, rode his horse into the city, and walked straight towards the palace.

The other Jiedu governors, generals and governors from all sides looked at Zhu Li with great meaning and followed closely. In a flash, Zhu Li felt a clear sense of alienation from everyone.

"Governor, this eunuch is so abominable." Shi Yan quietly stepped forward, glared at Tian Lingzi who was surrounded by the crowd, and said indignantly.

Zhu Li smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about everything. Tian Lingzi is not an ordinary person. This person is an official who has grown up when he sees His Majesty. No matter how saints do things, they are all in charge. For those who stay by His Majesty at all times, we should be careful in our words and actions."

"But this old guy is clearly giving you eye drops to the governor." Shi Yan was still angry.

"Oh, so what can I do? I heard that Zheng Sikong and Duke Li Guoguo, and Tian Lingzi are a bit dirty. My current official positions are highly recommended by both of them. Although this regaining Chang'an is a merit for everyone, I have the name of commander after all. According to convention, I can get more than half of the merit. Tian Lingzi and other powerful officials will not be willing to accept this merit." Zhu Li sighed and explained carefully.

"But those who have made a plan to attack the world and hide the world from all over the world are the governors. You can get military merits based on your own ability. So what if they are unwilling to give up? Will they not fight for it by themselves if they have the ability?" Shi Yan said unconvincedly.

"It would be great if they could strive to make contributions by themselves as you said, but when these people were doing things, they were either powerless or unable to do anything, but when they were trying to grab the benefits, they were better than anyone else." Zhu Li beat the horse and joined Shi Yan to follow everyone slowly, looking at one of the three evils of the Tang Dynasty, almost destroying Tian Lingzi, a representative of the powerful official in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and said in anger.

Overthrow the three evils of Tang, the powerful officials were the first to be hit, and they played the emperor in the stock market

Between your palms, you can listen to the sky, and you can tell the truth from the bottom, spread the word and wrong, and eliminate dissidents. You are simply the number one worm that will ruin the country and the people.

From the Golden Light Gate, passing through Taichang Temple, Shangshu Province and other important places, the group entered the Tai Chi Palace. On the main hall, Tian Lingzi stood under the dragon throne. The eunuchs accompanying him held a bunch of imperial edicts and looked at the imperial edicts. The officials from all sides had a bright eye. It seemed that after waiting for several days, what kind of rewards they could get in the end were about to be revealed. How could these warlords not be excited?

All the officials involved in the service of the king stood on both sides of the hall, staring at Tian Lingzi, who seemed to enjoy this feeling. He slowly pulled out a pile of imperial edicts, as if casual, but actually deliberately pulled out a volume from the pile of imperial edicts and began to say: "The sage said: I am the only way to govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with military force. The military commander and generals are the pillars of the court and the country's city. Only when they work hard to serve the people can they eliminate their achievements without praise for their favor. Here are the military commanders, the governor of Xuzhou Yang Fuguang, who is loyal and righteous, can shine brightly, and be brave to serve the people, and make contributions to the recovery of Chang'an. He is now appointed as the military commander of the world, and has been appointed as the three departments of the Ministry of Publicity, the envoy of the Tonghua Army, and the title of "Zi Zhonghui Wu Kuang, the country's meritorious officials". Xi's edict was given to the opera,... The edict was on May 26, the ninth year of Emperor Xizong."

"Thank you for your kindness, Yang Fuguang congratulates Your Majesty for long live, long live." This is a book of writing, dedicated to rewarding Yang Fuguang. When Yang Fuguang heard the order, he immediately walked to the middle of the hall and thanked him for a big holiday.

As soon as the decree was issued, the rest of the people looked at Zhu Li intentionally or unintentionally. Yang Fuguang was suddenly appointed as the chief of the World Military and Horses, and the general commander of the world. Zhu Li, the temporary governor, was probably going to be the end.

Rather than saying that this was the imperial decree of Yang Fuguang by the court, it was better to say that after the powerful official regained Chang'an, he immediately took the military power out of Zhu Li's hands. However, Zhu Li didn't care about this at all. His expression was as normal and his expression was calm, and he seemed not to understand the meaning of this level.

After Yang Fuguang was granted the title, Wang Chongrong and Zhou Ji were the subordinates of Wang Chongrong. The Eastern Army forced Zhuge Shuang to surrender, and the attack on Chang'an was Zhou Ji's contribution. Because Zhu Wen had not surrendered at that time, Wang Chongrong himself was in charge of the south bank of Heshui and confronted Zhu Wen, so the contribution of regaining Chang'an was naturally his contribution.

The Tang court appointed Wang Chongrong as the chief magistrate, and was appointed as the chief magistrate of the Central Secretariat, and was appointed as the prince of Langya County. He was awarded the chief magistrate of the chief magistrate of the founding chief tutor for his merits. Zhou Ji was promoted to succeed Yang Fuguang as the governor of Xuzhou.

In addition, the Tang court issued appointee Li Sigong (formerly: Tuoba Sigong), the crown prince's tutor, and the Duke of Xia; Li Xiaochang advanced to the procuratorial essay Sikong; Song Wentong advanced to the procuratorial essay Taiwei, and the title of Prince Langya County; Li Keyong was appointed as the procuratorial essay Sikong and the governor of Hedong; Wang Chongying advanced to the procuratorial essay Taiwei, and the title of Prince Langya County, and the full number of merits were found in the procuratorial essay Taifu......

After some rewards, only Zhu Li was not granted the title. However, there was still a book of calligraphy left in the hands of the eunuchs who were with Tian Lingzi. It seemed that the book of calligraphy was the imperial edict granted by the Tang court to Zhu Li, but for some reason Tian Lingzi stayed for the end.
