Chapter 720 The same arrogant emperor, that person, you can't convince

When Jin was in full swing, the major event began to be arranged in a intensive manner. Li Tianqu also returned Guo Congqian, who had been imprisoned and taken care of, to Wei. At the junction of Jin, soldiers from the border would escort him to Taiyuan and report to Li Cunxu.

When the listless Guo Congqian finally saw Li Cunxu again, he immediately fell to the ground and apologized:

"The Wei people saw through our plan to rebel. It is a pity that the empress failed the king's trust and was captured instead... Although we were lucky enough to meet the king again today, we hope to be punished, and we should receive the punishment!"

Seeing that Guo Congqian was still weak, there were scabbed scars on his face, neck and other parts. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot after being captured by Wei Chao, so he sighed and said:

"Forget it, it's still unclear how the Wei Dynasty saw through Gu's intentions and instigated against Ziqing Army. You are also acting completely according to the will of my king. Therefore, before thoroughly checking it out, you will rest assured and take care of your health. Gu does not intend to punish you..."

When Guo Congqian heard this, he even claimed to be guilty and had to retreat in a dirt. However, when he met Liu Zhijun again, he was not as familiar as when he had conspired in secret before. The two of them stared at each other and nodded and greeted each other, and they were also a little embarrassed, but they couldn't help but feel a little resentful in their eyes.

After all, the plan of the Zibo Qing army to suddenly change flags and rebelled against each other during the war was completely failed, and Liu Zhijun and Guo Congqian both began to hold grudges because of the other party's fault that they fell into such a situation.

Guo Congqian, a minister who was secretly unfavorable to the Wei Dynasty, was released by the other party. Li Cunxu believed that with Li Tianqu's character, since others had already made up their minds, he would never have to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Li family in Hedong... So he also showed anger as if he was provoked, and thought to himself:

Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei, you are trying to give me some advice...

You and I have to fight for the world, so there will be a battle between dragons and tigers, and we will challenge you to achieve great achievements. Of course, I cannot always regard myself as the King of Jin.

However, it was inevitable that the King of Jin would be the emperor. Li Cunxu was still destined to face a troublesome thing, and it would even be a major event that would shake the government's court...

The Taiyuan Royal Palace was in the main hall, and Li Cunxu's face was gloomy, but he and the civil and military officials were silent. And right in the middle of the hall, someone beat his chest and stamped his feet, and howled loudly with a sharp voice:

"The king and the father and son of the first lord, and they fought bloody battles with the Liang thieves in the first place, to avenge the country and restore the Tang Dynasty's country... Although the Liang thieves are now destroyed, there is still Li Tianqu. Wang Jian usurped the title of emperor, and the king should continue to support the Tang Dynasty and fight against rebel ministers... But now you want to be emperor, but this is not to be with the pseudo-emperor of the Run Dynasty... This is why you have to be trusted in the world and make the world feel heartbroken!!"

On the eve of changing the country to be called emperor, some ministers jumped out to oppose it so strongly, but Li Cunxu could only suppress his temperament and let the other party vent his feelings. Although the man was a eunuch, he had always been able to shock the ministers in the Jin court. Now he was crying hysterically, his hair was scattered, and he was a bit like an old woman who had to bear the pain of the sky and could only cry...

None of the senior officials and ministers of Jin State were present, and no one had just stood up to scold him for losing his composure in front of the king. After all, even the former king Li Keyong, who had always been strong and domineering, always respected Zhang Chengye, a confidant minister.

However, it was confirmed that his lord was indeed going to be emperor and reorganized, and even followed the name of the Tang Dynasty... Zhang Chengye was indeed going to make a big fuss. Li Cunxu looked at it again and his expression became increasingly ugly. However, Zhang Chengye worked hard and made great contributions, and was also the minister who was entrusted with his father's order to assist him... He held back his anger and still advised him:

"Brother Seven, why are you like this? My Li family in Hedong is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang court has been destroyed for many years now? You used to say that you should first destroy the thieves of the usurping Tang and Liang, and avenge Zhaozong and the last emperor... Now that the pseudo-Liang of Zhu Wen dog thieves has been destroyed. Since Wei and Shu have been emperor, our Jin State was the Tang court's achievements and have achieved such achievements today, are they destined to be a dwarf and can only sit and watch the rest of the vassals go to the Wei Emperor one after another?

How could I break my trust in the world? You said that I wanted to be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty... But even if the descendants of the Tang Dynasty's Li family were already scattered among the people, they would have long been the imperial family... Seventh brother, my Hedong soldiers were born and died and could not be able to conquer such a foundation today. But you really think... this country and country would have to give up a peddler who only inherited the blood of the Tang Dynasty's Li family, but was not a descendant of the royal family, and had no ability to settle the country?"

When Zhang Chengye heard this, he was even more shocked and angry. He glared at Li Cunxu and said word by word:

"That was not what the first lord told the old slave about his wishes! The king continued to take the banner of supporting the Tang Dynasty, pacifying the Wei, Shu and other people's entitlements, and supporting descendants of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family in Hedong helped the country and settle the country. He made extraordinary achievements and could achieve a foundation that was unparalleled!

Even if the Tang Dynasty had no one to take over the country... but at that time, who in the world could compete with the king? However, now he is eager to usurp the title of emperor, and even to usurp the Tang Dynasty's title... This is to discredit his reputation and be cursed by the world!"

"... Seventh brother, what do you mean? The Li family of Tang court raised an army in Taiyuan, then overthrew the Sui Dynasty and unified the world... His imperial family has been inherited from generation to generation? My Hedong Li family was given the national surname, and the Tang family has been fully benevolent and righteous. At this point, the heroes in the world have been the king and emperor. Do you think that just because my Li family is from Shatuo, so I want to be emperor, I should be scolded by the world?"

Seeing Li Cunxu's face suddenly sinking, and when he spoke in a deep voice, there was a little coldness in his tone... Zhang Chengye was shocked and his face seemed to have a little pale again. However, Li Cunxu paused slightly, slowed down his tone again, and sighed:

"Help the Tang Dynasty... Haha... In this world, Seventh Brother, who do you think you can still scare the Tang Dynasty? The previous dynasty has long been cut off, and the various vassals of the countries will never surrender to our Hedong Li family because of the destroyed Tang Dynasty. You said that the Emperor of Wei was usurping power and a pseudo-emperor of the Internal Dynasty, but since he has the ability to expel the Liang thieves and occupies the Central Plains... the other forces will surrender to him. Who cares if he is the orthodox Tang Dynasty?

But Gu wanted to compete with Emperor Wei to compete for hegemony and to win the surrender of other vassal states and vassal states, so the title of emperor must be. Brother Qi, you have the merits of assisting and maintaining the country, but why are you still so greedy for such great things and not know how to adapt?”

After hearing what Li Cunxu said, Zhang Chengye felt completely disappointed and completely cold.

Among the civil and military generals present, one of the great ministers who were also assisted by Li Keyong's orders, was well-informed among the adopted sons of the previous kings and now he mainly stayed in the court to assist in politics. Li Cunzhang, who had few troops to fight, coughed twice, then stood up and comforted Zhang Chengye and said:

"Duke Zhang, the king has been driven by the power. We know that you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but the country's destiny in the previous dynasty has been cut off... My Hedong Li family is grateful for your kindness. After the king becomes emperor, he will definitely be rewarded and rewarded, and will not let down Mr. Zhang's great contributions..."

However, Zhang Chengye waved his hand suddenly and pushed away Li Cunzhang who was coming forward to comfort him. He laughed bitterly and muttered:

"No matter when or now, our family is just an old slave in the Tang Dynasty! I just hope that after resuming the country, I can return to my hometown and retire to the countryside. At that time, I only hope that others can call me an imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and assist the King of Jin to stabilize the world and restore the military commander of the Tang Dynasty... This is my supreme honor!

Whether it was when the former kings were alive or now the king actually intended to usurp the title of emperor... How could our family have ever been reluctant to have the rewards of your Li family in Hedong!?"
