Article 702 Yao Jin Tou Tang
During the Kaihuang era, Li Kuan, upon hearing of his son's tragic end, wiped away a tear. He thought it would have been better to seek refuge with Prince Qin, Li Shimin, who was far more magnanimous than his father.
The Sui Dynasty emperors and ministers couldn't help but feel a little sad. Li Mi, the rebel king who led a group of bandits in Luoyang and withstood hundreds of battles against the imperial army, died such a wretched death.
"On the other hand, Wang Shichong, who had driven away Li Mi and taken over his followers, was in a very good mood. Who would have thought that last year he barely wanted to fight that rebel leader Li Mi, but today it was his turn to turn the tables and become the master!"
"Now that Li Mi is gone and the emperor is in his hands, shouldn't he step up? Perhaps this empire can also be ruled by a king. Thinking of this, his heart was filled with excitement and eagerness."
"Based on the experiences of his predecessors, he also created auspicious omens for himself. For example, he had people present him with his seal and sword, and he also said that the Yellow River was clean!"
"It's all because of him, it's him, it's him, it's Wang Shichong from Dongdu. If we were to fabricate another story about his unusual birth, it would probably be even more legendary. In short, Wang Shichong is overjoyed right now."
"But Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who had a new leader, had some opinions about him. Old Cheng felt that this guy was making oaths all the time, and they were even poisonous oaths. He didn't seem like a chosen one."
Cheng Yaojin: Old witch!
"In particular, which of those unfortunate bastards from the previous dynasty who loved to swear oaths ended up well?"
The Sima family, who swore an oath by the Luo River: "..."
"Sigh, I heard that Old Li next door has a son who is young, but all the older brothers who have worked with him say he's good. So this group of people decided to switch jobs and seek a better leader."
Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty: I am the Supreme General of Heavenly Strategy!
"This opportunity soon arrived. Wang Shichong decided to have a skirmish with the Tang army. The two armies clashed at Jiuqu. Then he sent Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin to lead troops into battle formation, each commanding their subordinates."
“These people, before the fight even started, rode their horses for a while, then dismounted and apologized to their current, or rather, former, boss, Wang Shichong.”
"Your Wang Group offers good benefits, but you, the boss, are not very good... suspicious... We think the Datang Group next door has a better future. We'll definitely repay you someday! Goodbye!"
"They're so polite. On the eve of battle, their own general actually led people to defect to the enemy in front of the entire army. This is going to infuriate Old Wang. The key is that these two are quite polite."
Wang Shichong: I was careless. These two have almost taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!
"These generals were assigned to Li Shimin by Li Lao, and indeed, the destined ruler and his ministers finally met. When Erfeng heard about their relationship, she treated them with great courtesy, declaring that they were now her brothers."
"No wonder they were among the twenty-four famous ministers in the Lingyan Pavilion later on; these two really know how to play the game."
"Moreover, once someone takes the lead, everyone else will follow suit."
"So afterwards, people like Li Junxian and Tian Liuan also joined the Tang Dynasty or followed Prince Qin, Li Shimin. Many of them were famous generals and ministers who have been remembered for generations and have taken photos at the famous 'tourist attraction' Xuanwu Gate."
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng: ... (???) ... Do you think it's funny to say that?!
"In the second year of Wude, the first Sui Dynasty Heroes Cup entered its most intense stage. Li Mi, one of the contestants, withdrew from the stage. Some were destined to become emperors, some were preparing to advance their careers, and others, despite having fewer than 20,000 followers, were determined to become emperors first."
Yuwen Huaji: I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well be an emperor for once before I log off!
