"Even if Guo Chongtao intends to control the government, he is still a hero of the founding state of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty; even if many generals of the Jin army have already become enemies, the Jin lord will definitely make other ancient ministers and honors feel cold and everyone is in danger.

The eunuch party around Jinzhu was no longer the power of Guo Chongtao, who concealed the superiors and deceived the subordinates, and would be even more unscrupulous. The time when our dynasty launched a large-scale northern expedition was not far away..."

In the Jiying Hall of Bianjing, Li Tianqu was leisurely and contented, and said a long time to the sudden changes in the Later Tang Dynasty.

Guo Chongtao, a general and minister who is good at strategy, was wrongly killed as he was originally trajectory. Although his intention to monopolize the power and suppress his colleagues was a bit extreme, it was somewhat similar to Xu Wen of Wu, that powerful ministers like them could play a role in stabilizing the court... And once Guo Chongtao died, no one could suppress those monsters and monsters who were arrogant.

Nearly a thousand eunuchs around Li Cunxu, a large number of actors led by Jing Jin... The most fatal thing is the woman who misleads the country. In addition to the news of Guo Chongtao's murder, Li Tianqu also learned that Empress Liu was also begging the depressed and angry Li Cunxu to accompany her to hunt and parade all day long, which also made the current Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty tend to be negligent in the government...

There is also the personnel changes in the Later Tang Dynasty court caused by Guo Chongtao's unjust killing. The senior officials who were originally specifically trying to compete with the eunuch party of actors, but ended up like this... The spokesperson was also very clear that it must be the actors led by Jing Jin, as well as the powerful officials, Ma Shaohong, Li Congxi, Xiang Yansi, Ma Yangui, etc., who joined forces to frame them.

Therefore, most of the civil officials and military generals who had turned to Guo Chongtao were forced to bow to the actors and eunuchs. Among them, the civil officials Dou Lu Ge was promoted to become the prime minister of the Later Tang Dynasty.

But Li Tianqu knew that this guy was just a mediocre person who had no practical knowledge of governing the country. He had to seek the art of immortality in his life. As a supplementary minister, he held the trade-offs and governance of state affairs, but he was often confused... According to the historical trajectory, after Li Cunxu died, he was demoted to the local area and was even sentenced to death by Li Siyuan. This shows that the Later Tang Dynasty court began to have a tendency to be corrupt, but this Douluge could only cause trouble...

Later, Empress Liu of the Tang Dynasty and the eunuch party made more unscrupulous money, and the treasury became increasingly empty. Li Cunxu then promoted a minister named Kong Qian as a rent-in-law who presided over the state's tax revenue. After taking office, this guy was quite effective and collected money and grain to supply military supplies. It also made Li Cunxu think that he had made contributions in financial management, so he was given the title of "a hero who enriched wealth and supported the country".

But Li Tianqu also knew that Kong Qian was definitely not a good way to make money. The method he used was to set a strict and harsh method of collecting heavy taxes, eliminate heavy taxes, and fish out of the waters. Forcing the people of the Later Tang Dynasty, which were still stable, had no way to survive, and he still had to deduct money from it.

So if he still followed the official line, Li Cunxu died, and after Li Siyuan ascended the throne, he would immediately abolish all the harsh and strict laws formulated by Kong Qian, and also list a few harsh and deduct military pay. The crime of plundering the people directly chopped his head.

Influenced by Empress Liu and the treacherous party around him, Li Cunxu used mediocre officials such as Douluge and Kong Qian, which also showed that his judgment as a monarch had lost its standard.

So the unjust killing of Guo Chongtao was just the beginning... Progress is difficult, but regression is easy, and Li Cunxu started this. Although he seems to be the hero Zhu Wen who exclaimed that "I should give birth to a son like Li Yazi", the shortcomings of the Later Tang Emperor will be exposed one after another. Just like the Southern Han lord Liu in the official history, the envoy sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Central Plains to explore the truth and reality. The envoy's evaluation of the Later Tang Emperor who had just destroyed the Liang Dynasty was:

Being arrogant and lustful without governance is not worthy of fear.

Zhang Xiao, who was sitting on Li Tianqu's head, nodded and said yes, but he quickly said:

"According to the military situation that had been visited before, Li Cunzhang, the governor of Fuyan Town of Jin, repeatedly asked to go to Beijing to enter the court, and asked to submit the vassal states' Yajun to other generals to take charge. He was eager to return to Taiyuan, probably because of the evil spirits in the Jin court, and tried to persuade the Jin master not to be deceived by the treacherous party."

"After all, Li Cunzhang accepted many adopted sons from the first lord of Jin, and among the founding honors of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, he was the most experienced. As the righteous brother of the lord of Jin, he was also one of the ministers who were entrusted to the orphans on his deathbed.

After all, he couldn't watch his brother who had originally revived Hedong's hegemony began to transform into a foolish monarch who was deceived by his close ministers and treacherous slander, even harmed the country and harmed the people, and wanted to destroy the Li family in Hedong. Therefore, he was worried about the country and ignored his life and tried to persuade the Jin master, which was of course reasonable..."

Li Tianqu murmured, suddenly smiled coldly, and then said:

"But I have been deliberately deploying secret spies to the Lord of Jin to promote his situation of staying away from wise ministers and being close to villains as soon as possible. Naturally, Li Cunzhang cannot get in the way... He was in charge of the Yan'an Prefecture of the Wanyan Army and held a stalemate with us in the western capital Chang'an. Since he had already been granted the title of the Jiedushi of the Shanlong area of ​​Guanzhong, he was responsible for defending his territory. It was not so easy to return to Taiyuan, Hedong...

Our dynasty takes all the land in Hexi, subdue the Uighurs in Ganzhou, annex the Wenmo in Liangzhou, and the Guiyi army and the Long family in Suzhou are willing to support their loyalty... Now that the situation is becoming more stable, it is better to mobilize the Ya army in the northwest to attack the Xiazhou Prefecture in turn. Without seeking to capture cities and plunder, Li Cunzhang was to tightly restrain Li Cunzhang in northern Shaanxi. If he insisted on returning to Taiyuan and resigned without his duty, resulting in a large area of ​​Fuyan's territory being taken by our dynasty, Li Cunzhang could not afford this crime.

Without Li Cunzhang and other important officials, he had to try to rectify the court and persuade the Jin Lord to identify loyalty and treacherous... The pseudo-Tang court would only become more and more corrupt. The Jin Lord was surrounded by treacherous and treacherous ministers, most of whom were sincerely willing to be the righteous brothers of the Li family in Hedong, but led troops to guard the side outside. Until he suddenly realized that this was not the same as before, and that he was no longer the time when Li Yazi, who worked hard to govern the country... I guess it was too late to regret it, and he was unable to turn the world..."

Liu Xiu and Kang Yanxiao, who were in the northwest of the Wei Dynasty, received the imperial edict from Li Tianqu and commanded the Ya army of his subordinates. Several groups of partial troops sent troops and fought undeclaredly, and then rushed into the north of Chang'an. Fang, under the rule of the Fuyan army of the Later Tang Dynasty, two military prefectures. The local city and military commanders were shocked to hear that the Wei Dynasty was in great contact, and immediately sent a quick horse to the Yan'an Prefecture where Li Cunzhang guarded him.

Originally, Li Cunzhang was determined to return to Taiyuan immediately. After repeated requests but were rejected, he was furious. He also heard that the Wei army was invading on his own initiative, so he was furious. He immediately called the Qiya army and rushed to Fucheng County in the southern corner of Fuzhou to attack the Wei Dynasty soldiers who were invading the invading army.

It was only more than twenty miles away from Fucheng. The Fuyan Town Ya Army crossed a mountain and marched to an open area. When they ran into a group of Wei army's first-hand sentry troops. With their superior strength, a battle began, and the opponent obviously had no intention of fighting to the death. In less than a quarter of an hour, they began to evacuate under the command of their commander, and would not give the Fuyan Town Ya Army a chance to siege.

Until the soldiers retreated south like a tide, the noisy fighting finally subsided and the battlefield became quiet. Although they won a small victory, the mature and persistent Li Cunzhang's face was still very serious. After all, he knew very well that the enemy he had repelled was just a scout unit for the Wei Dynasty to explore the terrain and enemy situation.

After this round of fighting, it reminded the other party that the scout Qingqi will surely inform the news in time, so that the other main military forces of the Wei Dynasty learned that the Fuyan Town Yajun was heading towards Fucheng...
