874 Another monarch who wants to be an emperor, another big pervert in troubled times

Li Tianqu took Li Jixian back to the inner palace of the imperial city, and became more concerned about the cultivation and education of his fourth son.

While still focusing on managing the political affairs of the dynasty, he was still closely following the movements of the Later Tang Dynasty. However, although the biggest enemy was in the north, the Guangdong country, which was different from all over the world, sent envoys to report to the Wei Dynasty that the King of Guangdong Liu Yin died of illness and that his younger brother Liu Yan had succeeded to the throne.

In the official history, the Southern Han Dynasty, now the Guangdong country nominally applauded the Wei Dynasty and the new king succeeded to the throne, of course, he also sent envoys to ask for approval from the Central Plains dynasty.

However, when Li Tianqu heard that Liu Yan had inherited the position of the king of the country, he took the flying dragon in the sky, and even had the meaning of being invincible to me and being the only one who was the only one... He changed his name to Liu?, and he couldn't help but sneer. However, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the Wei Dynasty's control over Guangdong was very limited after all, so whether he admits it or not, Liu? should still do the position of the king of the country.

Although Li Tianqu knew that the separatist forces in Guangdong had limited impact on the Central Plains pattern, he had only used it to suppress and eliminate the indigenous families whose intention to be independent in Annan was becoming more obvious... However, Liu?, who was more ambitious than his brother Liu Yin, was more extreme in nature, and would not be satisfied with the identity of the king of a country. He must have planned to become emperor now.

In other words, although Guangdong now surrendered to the Wei Dynasty on the surface, as Liu succeeded to the throne, he knew that once he was abdicated, his relationship with the Central Plains dynasty would inevitably take a sharp turn. According to the original official line, Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of Later Liang, once denounced Liu, "becoming more arrogant and fierce, and he was a relic of the Han Dynasty." So even though Liu is respectful to the Wei Dynasty, he must have already considered when the time to be the most mature, and forced the Emperor of Wei to accept this fact.

Today's pattern is different from the official history. Liu? He tried every means to connect with Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty and put pressure on our dynasty, and this is not impossible... Li Tianqu thought in his heart that although Guangdong occupies Lingnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, it is beyond the reach of sending troops to fight, but now it is necessary to be careful and beware of the little moves that the Guangdong King Liu? would secretly use...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It was bordered by the South China Sea and is located in the northern corner of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province in later generations. It was established when the county system was implemented in the Qin Dynasty and Nanhai County was established. It also experienced the founding of the State of Zhao Tuo, and the Southern Yue, was built. During the Three Kingdoms, the minister of the Eastern Wu, Bu Zhixing, built the city walls, and the name of Guangzhou began... As the starting point of the Central China-Turkey Maritime Silk Road, the geographical location was of course particularly important.

Now Liu set up Xingwang Mansion in Guangzhou as the capital, built a large-scale construction and built a palace. Now, the inner city, Guocheng, Renxiaocheng, Xicheng, and Xijing city have formed a pattern.

When Huang Chao's anti-army went south to Guangzhou, slaughtering 120,000 Hu people, cutting down all mulberry trees, and causing the spread of large-scale epidemics... In a depressed Guangzhou, with the Liu brothers from a merchant, taking over Guangdong and serving as the governor of Qinghai, the trade has been quickly restored to this day.

Today, Xingwang Mansion has a population of 800,000, and the market is densely populated. Merchants in the West City only need to pay commercial taxes to choose their own places to open shops. In fact, compared to the Song Dynasty encouraging commercial development and breaking the market division, it is earlier in Guangdong today...

Especially with the capital Xingwang Mansion as the center, the commercial atmosphere is also extremely strong, but the city and districts seem to be filled with the smell of copper... After all, according to the official history, the people under their rule now adhere to the principle of more money as the main and less money as slaves.

In the west city of Xingwang Mansion, many wealthy families built many private gardens here. Liu? also opened a palace garden here, but if it were a royal garden... There are a large number of poisonous insects and beasts placed in this palace garden, such as elephants deliberately captured by Guangdong and Guangxi, South China tigers, black bears, Asian lions purchased from small Brahmins, Great Brahmins and other places in South Asia, Bengal tigers... and even Sumatra tigers and Java leopards introduced from Southeast Asian countries... and white ring snakes, iron heads, cobras, and even various centipedes and poisonous scorpions, which are more like a zoo.

"Your mercy is the best, I hope to spare my humble life!"

In the tiger garden in the palace, there were several Bengal tigers, either basking in the sun lazily or walking back and forth in boredom. Suddenly, a terrifying scream came from above the stone-studded garden wall.

Those tigers seemed to have already formed conditioned reflexes, and they all raised their heads, flaunting fangs, and their throats were already roaring. It seemed that they were all very clear that every time there was a human howling on the garden wall, it meant that there would be flesh and blood to fill their stomachs soon...

Several palace soldiers held a man tightly. And just opposite the man, surrounded by a group of guards, Liu, the current king of Guangdong, wore a crown on his head, with white jade beads hanging from front and back, and wore red robes with patterns such as sun, moon, stars, dragons, mountains, etc., which seemed to be different from the Tang system. It seemed that the Eastern Han Dynasty also called fire virtue and red, so the royal family and royal family also called "Red Liu"...

However, if he wanted to execute a prisoner, Liu's clothes were very gorgeous and grand, which showed that he also had a very happy and extremely vain side in his temperament.

Liu is still in his twenties now, but his expression is sinister, and there is a gloomy and viciousness between his eyebrows that is inconsistent with his age... At this time, Liu looked at the man in front of him with interest, suddenly spoke, and his tone was also sinister, sounding a bit cunning:

"You traitor, you know that you have committed a death penalty now? If my Liu family had not taken over Guangdong and Guangxi and managed the Qing Navy and Lingnan people, how could you make a living? But what did you say that the taxes were heavy and there was no way to survive, so you incite the people to be disrespectful to the orphans and gather them as thieves. This was a death penalty.

Gu is the king of the Great Guangdong Kingdom. In Lingnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Annan, those who follow orphans will prosper! Those who go against orphans will perish! What's more... If you don't enter the tiger garden, how can you enjoy the best? And you, a dead prisoner, know that even if you will die today, what is the biggest regret for orphans?"

Liu said in a silence, and his pair of tricks stared at the death row in front of him, and the cruel and cruel look in his eyes became a little stronger in an instant:

"I just feel sorry for you. You only have one life, so you can only be executed once..."

The sound of a tiger roaring below came into his ears, which made the man who was originally angry at the Guangdong king plundered gold and pearls and treasures among the people, and then he intended to launch a mutiny among the people, but the death row prisoner who was arrested was shaking like a sieve... When he was in the same position with Liu?, the man felt even more creepy!

Here, the tiger garden in Wangjialin Garden is built like a dock wall. However, the tiger is confined, and the outside is built to lead directly to the wall of the garden for Liu? He can stand tall and appreciate the horrific scene of death row prisoners being eaten by beasts, and even throwing prisoners into a pool full of poisonous snakes, and being poisoned and bitten to death...

Moreover, every time he executed a criminal, Liu?, he had to be present in person, and he did not fall down again and again. He was really more diligent than presiding over the national affairs... This time he ordered the soldiers to escort the death row prisoner to the wall of the garden. After a few words, he was impatient. His eyes burst out with fierce light like the beast waiting for people to eat, and he shouted sternly:

"Stop it? Why don't you throw it away!"

No matter how hard the death row prisoner struggled, he could not get rid of the constraints of several palace soldiers. His legs were kicked desperately, but he was finally grabbed by two military soldiers... Four burly men, holding on to his hands, feet and limbs, immediately raised them high, and immediately threw them out, throwing the death row prisoner into the tiger garden!

The death row prisoner was thrown from the garden wall and let out a desperate howl in the air. After falling heavily, there was another crisp sound of broken bones. He was broken one of his legs and could no longer get up to escape... What's more, he was in a limited space by several tigers, so he wanted to escape, where could he escape!?
