Li Zaigu did not expect that he could be drawn in Lingyan Pavilion and be ranked alongside twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Zaigu was painted in Lingyan Pavilion, he had no actual official position for the time being. He was waiting at home and was waiting for Li Er to appoint a new real position at any time.

He happened to take this opportunity to have a good rest and accompany his family.

He had been resting at home for a few days, and suddenly someone from Tiance Mansion came to report.

King Li You of Qi sent someone to kill the minister Quan Wanji and initiated a rebellion.

Quan Wanji was once the chief historian of King Li Ke of Wu. With the recommendation of Cen Wenben, he was appointed as the chief historian of Li You by Li Er.

Quan Wanji is upright and dares to advise.

He saw that Li You favored evil villains and did a lot of mistakes and even violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so he repeatedly violated Yan and advised him.

Quan Wanji did not want Li You to be used by evil villains, so he repelled Li You's confidant Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao.

However, Li You hated Quan Wanji even more because of this and deliberately fought against him.

After Quan Wanji repelled Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, Li You immediately recalled them, which was more favored than before.

The only way to report to Li Er of the Ming Dynasty is to report to the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Er found out, he wrote a letter to blame Li You.

Li You hurriedly entered the cousin to apologize to Li Er.

Li Er did not forgive Li You for his apology, but instead issued an edict to blame him again.

Li You hated Quan Wanji even more, believing that the reason why Li Er blamed him was entirely because Quan Wanji interfered.

Under the instigation of Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, Li You sent Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao to assassinate Quan Wanji.

Quan Wanji was very loyal and was not assassinated. Instead, he took Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and others to prison and reported to the court.

Li You was very scared and worried that Li Er would punish him.

After thinking about it, he sent Yan Hongliang and others to lead the dead soldiers to shoot Quan Wanji.

Killing the imperial court's official is equivalent to opposing the imperial court.

Now that things have come to this point, Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, Yan Hongliang and other confidants took the opportunity to persuade Li You to rebel.

When Li Zaigu heard the news of Li You's rebellion, his face changed and he looked incredible.

He thought for a moment and hurried into the palace to meet the saint.

When Li Er learned about Li You's rebellion, he was both shocked and heartbroken.

After being heartbroken, he was furious.

Li Er had experienced too many things and quickly calmed down.

He summoned all the ministers to the Taiji Hall to discuss the rebellion against Li You.

Li Er sat on the imperial throne in the Tai Chi Hall with a serious expression.

The civil servants and military generals standing on both sides of the hall also looked solemn.

Many ministers have learned that Li You killed the imperial ministers, Quan Wanji, and launched an army to rebel.

Li Er glanced at the ministers and asked them how they should deal with Li You's rebellion.

Many ministers immediately suggested sending troops to attack and capture Li You back to Chang'an for treatment.

Li Er agreed and was about to issue an order to send troops to fight against the rebellion, Li Zaigu suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I think I will write an edict to the King of Qi first and persuade him to surrender so as to avoid meeting the soldiers and bring war to the local people. If the King of Qi does not listen to the advice and insists on rebelling, Your Majesty will send troops to attack again."

Li Er thought for a moment and said lightly: "What you said is reasonable. I will immediately compile a letter and order someone to send it to Qizhou quickly."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Zaigu and all the ministers.

So, on the one hand, Li Er wrote the edict himself, and on the other hand, he ordered the Minister of War Li Ji to prepare, and the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Prefectures of Huo, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, and Hai, to go to Qizhou to attack Li You at any time.

...

After following the advice of Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, Yan Hongliang and other confidants, Li You recruited all men over fifteen years old in the city and drove the people outside the city into the city for soldiers.

Not only that, Li You regarded himself as the emperor, arranged an official office, opened a treasury for rewards, and appointed his confidant as the Shangzhu Kingdom, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Tuoxi King, Tuodong King and other official positions.

After Li You rebelled, he did not feel fear. Instead, he had a banquet with Yin Hongzhi, Zan Junmo, Yan Hongliang and other confidants, as well as his princesses, thinking that it would not take long to defeat the imperial army in Qizhou and then head straight to Chang'an.

After three rounds of drinking, Li You mentioned that the court probably knew about their rebellion and would send a large army to attack at any time.

Yan Hongliang said indifferently: "The King of Qi... is not right, now he should be called Your Majesty! Your Majesty does not need to worry. Why should the imperial army be irritated? I can hold wine with my right hand and hold a knife in my left hand to cut and kill the invading enemy for Your Majesty!"

Li You, the big fool, actually believed Yan Hongliang's words, thinking that his people were enough to deal with the imperial army, and then he was at ease.

"Report!"

A messenger entered in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Li You glanced at the messenger.

"Report to King Qi..."

"It's Your Majesty!" Yan Hongliang interrupted the messenger.

"Yes, yes, it's Your Majesty!" The messenger said in a hurry, "Report to Your Majesty, the imperial court has sent an edict."

He said, and submitted an edict.

Li You frowned, took the edict, signaled the command to go out, and then opened the edict.

This is the edict written by Li Er to Li You by himself.

The content of the edict is: "I once warned you not to get close to villains because of this reason. You have always been rude and lack of virtue, and are bewitched by flattery remarks, and finally cause disaster and self-destruction.

It hurts, you are extremely stupid.

You become a person like a ox, forget your loyalty and filial piety, disturb Qizhou, and die more. If you cannot be a person who safeguards the country, you will be as dangerous as piles of firewood; it will destroy bloody closeness like rocks, and become a factor in disturbing public order.

You violated etiquette and righteousness and were not tolerated by heaven and earth; you abandoned your father and brother and betrayed the monarch, and were angry with you by man and god. You used to be my son, but today you are the enemy of the country.

Trust Wanjicun is a loyal and wise man. Even if he dies, it will not prevent him from achieving righteousness; if you are a thief in life, you are a traitor in life, and if you die, you are a rebellious ghost. In the past, I have never heard of you having a good reputation, and now you only have endless bad deeds.

I heard that Uncle Zheng and the Crown Prince of the Western Han Dynasty had done rampant things, so how could his father expect to give birth to a son like you? Because of this, I am ashamed of the Emperor, felt ashamed of Houtu, and sighed, and I don’t know what else to say.

Thinking of you being my own son, I would like to give you a chance to reform. As long as you surrender, return to Chang'an to apologize, and hand over the villain beside you, I will spare you. For rebellion, you can be lenient."

Li You looked at Li Er's edict and his face turned red and white.

"Hmph! At this time, I still blame me! Since I have raised my troops to rebel against the court, I have never thought about surrender!" Li You grabbed the edict tightly and said hatefully.

"Your Majesty, what is the edict?" Yin Hongzhi said carefully.

"Look!" Li You handed the edict in his hand to Yin Hongzhi.

Yin Hongzhi took the edict and took a closer look.

After reading it, he raised his head and said to Li You with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, you must not surrender. Now that you surrender, you will only die! You must fight the court to the end!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, things have come to this point, and you must not surrender. If you defeat the imperial army, the Tang Dynasty will be His Majesty's Tang Dynasty; if you are defeated, we will also sacrifice our benevolence!" Yan Hongliang straightened his body and said loudly.
