Chapter 1116: Records and Truth
Zhang Wulang bowed slightly and said, "That's true." Ranked fifth in the lower clan, he is known as Zhang Wulang, but his official name is Zhang Lingjun. β
"Are you from Luoyang?"
"King Ji has heard of the name below?" Zhang Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said: "I am also a thin and famous person in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't expect King Ji to be so concerned about the affairs of the rivers and lakes." β
"Where, this king doesn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but Zhang Zhuangshi's reputation is too great, and this official can't do it if he hasn't heard of it."
That's a pun intended.
In Zhang Lingjun's ears, his fame is too great, even if he is not the king of Ji Cui Geng in the Jianghu circle, he has heard of his name.
Not really.
Cui Geng meant that he knew Zhang Lingjun's name through historical records, not rumors.
He secretly pondered in his heart that if history had not been changed by himself, not long after the Shenlong coup, Li Chongfu would have been framed by Empress Wei and demoted to the history of Junzhou.
After the coup d'Γ©tat of Tang Long, Li Dan reappointed Li Chongfu as the assassin of Jizhou.
When Li Chongfu had not yet set off, Zhang Lingjun, a native of Luoyang, offered a plan, saying: The king is the eldest son of the first emperor and should inherit the position of the son of heaven. Although the prime minister has the merit of leveling Webster, how can he be more than the top? In the past, the Han Dynasty punished Zhu Lu and welcomed Liu Heng, the king of the east; Now the people of Luoyang, the eastern capital, are looking forward to your accession to the throne as emperor. If you can feel Luoyang secretly, climb high and shout, the big thing can be decided.
Isn't that pure?
Li Chongfu is growing red, and the people just don't object to him ascending the throne as emperor. However, Li Xian and Empress Wei went against the grain and made the government into a miasma, and the people were already completely chilled by them. Li Chongfu himself has no kindness to the people of Luoyang, why did the people risk their lives to protect him as emperor?
However, Li Chongfu made Zhi faint and really believed these words.
At this time, Zheng was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, unwilling to sink here, and also joined Li Chongfu's rebellion.
After the three arrived in Luoyang, the recruitment of warriors was not smooth, and only a few dozen ruffians joined them.
Supposedly, when you see that the situation is not good, you should quickly stop planning.
But under Zhang Lingjun's encouragement, Li Chongfu was still full of confidence, and took these dozens of people to the incident directly. As a result, he was known by Sima Cui Ri of Luozhou, and it was effortless to easily quell the rebellion.
After the defeat, Li Chongfu committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and Zheng and Zhang Ling were both sentenced by the Ming Dynasty.
Before the execution, Zhang Lingjun was calm, but Zheng was full of ugliness in the two battle stations. Zhang Lingjun despised him and said: "I started an incident with a coward like you, and it is unreasonable not to fail." β
Originally, Cui Geng had no doubts about this record, but just lamented that Li Chongfu was beyond his strength.
However, after hearing that the person who helped him a lot today was Zhang Lingjun, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
There are too many coincidences in this Xiao Fang's case. In addition, Zhang Lingjun happened to discover the secret of the case in time, and told himself, and he also "didn't write a book without coincidence".
Thinking about those records in history, what kind of person is this Zhang Lingjun?
When persuading Li Chongfu, he seemed to be a careerist who bewitched the public. When he was dying, he was calm, but he looked like a righteous and awe-inspiring loyal minister. He couldn't judge the situation, and he caused many people to die in vain, and he seemed to be a fool.
It's so chaotic that it's completely unclear.
However, if you look at him as a dead soldier of Li Dan's father and son, it will suddenly become clear.
Li Dan was enthroned as the emperor by Li Chongmao's "Zen Order", and Li Chongfu, as Li Xian's eldest son, became a thorn in Li Dan's eye, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly.
However, Li Chongfu didn't break the law, what can Li Dan do? Take 10,000 steps back and say, Li Chongfu is constantly robbing men and women, careless of people's lives, or something, according to the moral concept of this era, Li Dan still can't do anything to Li Chongfu.
Only by putting the undoubted crime of treason on Li Chongfu's head can we never suffer in the future.
Therefore, it is likely that he sent a dead soldier named Zhang Lingjun over to provoke Li Chongfu's ambitions...... Only then did we have the "historical facts" in the record.
Now, history has changed by itself, Zhang Lingjun is still the person of Li Dan's father and son, but he was not used to deal with Li Chongfu, but to deal with himself.
Everything he experienced after arriving in Yizhou is probably a bureau set up by Zhang Lingjun in order to gain his trust and conspire with Quan Huaien. If he hadn't taken out the deed of Xiao Wuniang as a concubine in time, Zhang Lingjun would have appeared a few days ago.
In the end, Sun San was killed by his wife Hu or Zhang Lingjun, that is really not certain.
Of course, this is all your own speculation. After making a bold prediction, you need to be careful to verify it.
"King Ji, King Ji, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with the identity of the following? Zhang Lingjun saw that Cui Geng's mind did not belong, and asked.
"Uh...... It's none of Zhang Zhuangshi's business. Cui Geng said perfunctorily: "The official thinks, what if the Hu family kills the husband and is a thief, what if he escapes in advance?" The officials of the Yizhou Mansion have worked in vain, and this case will not be closed for a while. β
Zhang Lingjun said: "King Ji and relax, even if the Hu family flees, the little snake in Sun Sancai's stomach is not fake, and it will definitely not be able to climb Xiao Changshi's body." β
"That's right. By the way, Zhang Zhuangshi, you did the official such a big favor, but you offended Quan Huaien to death, I don't know what to do in the future? β
Poof!
Zhang Lingjun knelt down in front of Cui Geng and said, "Although I have gone astray, I have always wanted to return to the right path. If King Ji doesn't dislike it, can he allow him to follow you? Even if it is a slave or a servant, lead the horse for you, serve tea and pour water, and you are willing to eat it below. β
Cui Geng's eyes flashed, and he said with his hand: "Zhang Zhuangshi is quite chivalrous, and Xiao Wang has Zhang Zhuangshi, which is really like a tiger with wings." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cui Geng's prediction was right, and sure enough, news came soon that the Hu family "fled in fear of crime". He pretended not to care, and even issued an official document, ordering important officials of South Jiandao to gather in Chengdu to discuss strategies to break the barbarism.
By now, he also has a general understanding of the barbarians.
Most of Jiannan Province was the official state capital of the imperial court, and the Han people had an absolute advantage. However, from the state to the south, it is the barbarians who have an absolute advantage in numbers.
The so-called barbarians are the general term for the southwest, non-Han people. In fact, due to the geographical isolation, there is a huge gap between these people. Some tribes are still in primitive societies, and some tribes have a civilization that is Han Chinese. As for the language and customs, they are completely different.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty had neither the energy nor the interest in subdividing them. So, these barbarians are simply divided into two types: the white barbarians with a higher degree of sinicization, and the black barbarians with a lower degree of sinicization.
From the state to the south, including the land of the Six Edicts, it is all divided in this way.
For example, the Mengshe edict is a black barbarian, and the other five edicts are white barbarians. Now the Nanzhao (Mengshe Zhao) unified the land of the six edicts, that is, the nobles of the whole country are mainly barbarians, while the people are mainly barbarians.
As for Yaozhou and the barbarians near the state, they are different from the land of the Six Edicts. Although they have both black barbarians and white barbarians, and there are nearly 100 large and small tribes, they have a roughly similar organizational form, called "ghost masters".
