Chapter 21 Serving the Son of Heaven to Seek Justice

Tang Zhangwei replied: "The Son of Heaven is smart, but he is mistaken by the villain, I am ready to lead my troops into Shuzhong, and serve the Son of Heaven to please the ministers, but what?" ”

Yang Fugong said: "Since the general has this intention, I am willing to drive for the general." ”

Tang Zhangwei led his army to take Fangzhou and Junzhou, and his troops united the land of the six towns, the roads and post houses were repaired, and the army did not commit any crimes, which was completely contrary to the poor military discipline of the Tang army's other feudal town troops and the Huangchao rebel army.

As a result, the people of the world hoped that Tang Zhangwei would send troops to occupy the place where he was.

The fiasco of Liu Jurong, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, made the officials of Tang Xizong and Shuzhong panic, and everyone blamed the envoys and eunuchs of the feudal towns who were good at using swords.

In order to appease Tang Zhangwei's anger, they captured Liu Jurong, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, who had fled to Shuzhong and took refuge, and executed him.

Before he died, because Liu Jurong boasted that he had a bit of alchemy, the eunuch Tian Lingzi begged for torture. In the end, the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu made Liu Jurong exterminate the entire clan except for Liu Fen, the eldest son who led the troops outside.

The Tang Xi Sect sent people to reward Tang Zhangwei and let him and the warring feudal towns all call off their troops.

Hearing this news, Tang Zhangwei suddenly stopped before marching into Shuzhong, and he waved his army south and began to attack the area under the jurisdiction of Wang Wei, the observer envoy of Jiangxi.

The Jiangxi Observer Envoy had jurisdiction over Hongzhou, Jiangzhou, Xinzhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Raozhou, Qianzhou, and Jizhou.

Liu Fen, the eldest son of Liu Jurong, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, led his troops to Rao, Xin and other places, and the official went to the military escort to practice the envoy, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, the inspector of the school and the prince of the wine and the doctor of the imperial history, the Shangzhu country, and the right servant of Shangshu.

Disheartened by the news of his father's killing, Liu Fen led his army to surrender to Tang Zhangwei and then went into seclusion in Fuzhou.

Tang Zhangwei continued to attack Hongzhou, and the eunuch Yang Fugong said: "Why doesn't the general coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "When seeking profit, we should seek the benefit of the world, and we should take the name of the world." Today, the first harm is the feudal town, and the second harm is the Huangchao, I pacified the south of the Yangtze River in order to accumulate strength and fight with the Huangchao in the future. Now, since the Son of Heaven knows that he has been deceived, why should I question the Son of Heaven? ”

At that time, not only the eunuch Yang Fugong persuaded him to enter, but also those soldiers who followed him did not want to enter Shuzhong and sit on the Jinluan Palace as the emperor.

For this reason, Tang Zhangwei had to invite high-ranking officials to Fuzhou.

More than 100 officers leading the army gathered together, and they were all gearing up.

Tang Zhangwei stretched out his hands, asked everyone to sit down, and said: "Our army has expanded rapidly, and now there are 500,000 soldiers, and now I am the title of the strongest army in the world." Recently, however, there has been a growing sense of disobedience. I'm saddened! ”

The officers present looked at Tang Zhangwei coldly, and no one believed his words. Tang Zhangwei said: "Thinking back in Chang'an, I started with a machete, and a piece of sheep was more cool than killing. Now, I own half of the south of the Yangtze River, and our army has taken the territory of Wang Wei, the observer envoy of Jiangxi, but overnight, but the Son of Heaven is innocent, and we cannot abolish it without authorization. Monarchs and ministers are righteous, and we have to talk about a name. ”

Wei Zhuang told the officers: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and our army has conquered the city, resulting in our Huainan militia not enough." Today, in the newly conquered places, the regime is not yet secure. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Datang is the Tang Dynasty of the people of the world, we want to use talents from all places, talents of all nationalities, and now we are only in Jiangnan." In the future, our army will go south to the ocean and north to the north, and we will use these talents. ”

Tang Zhangwei was so good at talking that he poured cold water on these officers.

However, Tang Zhangwei tightly grasped the personnel power in various places.

Wei Zhuang acted as Tang Zhangwei's Zhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi power, Wei Zhuang asked Tang Zhangwei: "The general goes one step further, he can be the lord of the world, why don't you take that step?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "The eldest husband should be happy and revenge, but Cao Cao has been away for more than 600 years now, why is he still a traitor? ”

Wei Zhuang said: "Does the general not want to rashly raise troops and cause resentment in the world? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "At this time, one reason, another reason is that our rear is not yet consolidated, we are only stronger than the Yellow Nest that swallowed Chang'an back then, but in addition to the places we have occupied, the princes of various places are not convinced by us. Jiangnan is weak, we cut off the wings of the feudal towns one by one, and then send troops to the north to capture the good horses. After that, the Yellow Nest traitors will be completely wiped out, and my Datang will definitely be able to stabilize for a thousand years. ”

Wei Zhuang arched his hand and said: "The general is eloquent and strategic, and his subordinate Meng Lang is subordinate." ”

Tang Zhangwei was reluctant to rush into the army, mainly because he did not have an overwhelming advantage over the world, and it was still a bit risky to deal with more than 40 towns in the world with the land of six towns.

Tang Xizong Li Yi hugged the thigh of the eunuch Tian Lingzi and asked: "The court officials all say that the traitor Tang Zhangwei wants to serve the Son of Heaven to beg for his ministers, I think he is Dong Zhuo's generation, if he is a soldier in Shuzhong, what can I do?" ”

The eunuch Tian Lingzi said: "Don't worry, I heard that he has rectified the army and horses in Yingzhou and has gone south, presumably he wants to cut off the feudal towns of the world and return the saint to a peaceful world." ”

Tang Xizong Li Yu said: "Is Tang Zhangwei really a loyal minister? ”

The eunuch Tian Lingzi looked at the young son of heaven, Tang Xizong, Li Yi and said: "Tang Zhangwei is a loyal minister, he is more loyal than anyone else. ”

finally relieved the saint, and the eunuch Tian Lingzi ordered his left and right henchmen to accompany the emperor. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The old slave is a pastemaker, this Tang Empire, it can last for a day!" I hope that this Tang Zhangwei is not Liu Yu's generation, and when the day really gives way, it will not be bad for the saint to be a happy prince! ”

The eunuch Tian Lingzi is Zhongze, whose surname is Chen, and is a native of Sichuan. He appointed. My brother Chen Jingxuan was the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and he left a way back for himself.

Every day when he went to the court, some ministers called Tang Zhangwei a traitor, and some ministers said that he was brave and loyal, and the two sides quarreled in the court, only the eunuch and eunuch Tian Lingzi could not be denied.

After the next dynasty, the eunuch Tian Lingzi went to his brother's house for dinner, and Tian Lingzi's brother Chen Jingxuan used to be a master who sold baked cakes. Tian Lingzi has loved to eat the baked cakes made by his brother since he was a child, and when he saw this baked cake, he had a great appetite and nibbled on three more.

Chen Jingxuan said: "The imperial court is difficult to support alone, and that Tang Zhangwei seems to want to enter Shu!" ”

Tian Lingzi said: "Those officials and mediocre people are disturbing themselves, the world is in chaos, and it will not be settled in ten years, so we don't need to panic about it." There is wine today and drunkenness today, why should you and I worry. ”

Relying on Tian Lingzi to be the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, Yang Shili had already gained a firm foothold in Dongchuan at this time, and he also complained about Tian Lingzi's control of Tang Xizong, he said: "I will kill this slave sooner or later." ”

Tian Lingzi's henchmen heard the news and reported Tian Lingzi.

Since then, Tian Lingzi has become jealous of Yang Shili.

Tian Lingzi said to his brother Chen Jingxuan: "Yang Shili is not satisfied with occupying Dongchuan, he actually wants to march into the CD and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he is really a fool's dream." ”

Chen Jingxuan said: "It doesn't matter, I have a brave general Gao Renhou, once he sends troops, Dongchuan can go down every day." ”
