Chapter 471: The First Fire

Since he has become Li Tang's national teacher, Chen Jingle naturally has to do something practical, and by the way, he will grasp the right to be arrested, otherwise it will be difficult to implement his plan.

He hadn't forgotten his mission.

It is not as easy as words to talk about the Buddha.

If you want to suppress the Buddha, you must get the support of the Li Tang royal family, and you have no right to take a hammer to suppress it?

And what is the situation of Li Tang at the moment, no one knows better than Chen Jingle, and no one knows better than him, if he didn't appear, what would the world be like in the future.

Therefore, before suppressing Buddhism, we must first stabilize the current situation in the world, otherwise in a year and a half, the Tang Dynasty will be finished, China will enter the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and it will be even more difficult for Shenzhou to sink again.

And maybe the end of the Li Tang era is just what some people want, and Chen Jingle can't bear it even more in his heart.

So the first thing Chen Jingle did after receiving the title of national teacher was to copy the Wei State Mansion.

The eunuch Yang Fuguo previously served as the privy envoy of the imperial court, the lieutenant of the left army, and the envoy of the twelve guards of the Sixth Army, and he was also the actual ruler of the forbidden army.

In order to consolidate his position and expand the power in his hands, he also adopted sons and sent them to various places to serve as supervisors, so as to control the local military and political power in his own hands.

During this period, he planted party henchmen and installed cronies among the hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and most of the officials were either coerced by him or accepted bribes from him, which can be said to be the power of the government and the opposition. If there are officials who do not conform to the law, they will be ostracized or even framed.

So when it comes to killing this guy, Chen Jingle really doesn't have any worries at all.

The destruction of the house and the confiscation of the property happened to be the emptiness of the treasury, and in the future, whether it was military training or development, silver money would be needed. These people's fat and people's ointment that Yang Fuguo scavenged are the best choice to feed the people.

In history, it was the existence of Yang Fuguo that made Li Tang's country more and more collapsed at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and he was purely a fool who buried the future of the entire country for his own selfishness.

As for the civilian-official clique that colluded with Yang Fuguo, Chen Jingle thought about it and didn't plan to move them for the time being, after all, these people are needed to govern the country and handle government affairs, as long as they don't drag their feet, it's not too late to slowly liquidate them later.

If those guys dare to make a small move behind their backs, then don't blame him.

Li Tang was not the weak Song Dynasty later, and the civil officials did not have that much right to speak, so Chen Jingle did not have to worry about what impact their existence would have on him.

After today, as long as they don't make stupid mistakes, they all know who will have the final say in the court in the future. It's best to know each other, and if you don't know each other, then send them all to Yang Fuguo as a companion.

However, the affairs of the Shence Army must be dealt with quickly, and no matter what time it is, the military power must be firmly held in hand.

It was because Yang Fuguo mastered the military power that he was so unscrupulous, and even controlled the power of the emperor's life and death.

The actions of the old man Taizu show that the gun is out of Zheng's power.

Therefore, military power must be mastered, even if this army is not a strong army, and it can even be said to be weak, but at least it can ensure that the Li Tang royal family can have a trace of self-protection in troubled times.

Besides, the strong army is also trained to fight, Chen Jingle didn't expect the Shence Army to be powerful at all, he just needs these people to help him master Chang'an City in the shortest possible time, and then use Chang'an as a base to encroach on the surroundings, which is enough.

A month is enough time for him to train a group of soldiers who can fight with other warlord forces.

After all, in these years, the army that can be fought by other warlords is at most twenty or thirty thousand, such as Li Keyong and Zhu Wen.

Other sub-warlords, it would be good to have 10,000 people, more are recruited from the homeless, and they don't have enough food, how strong can they expect to be combative?

A month may be a bit urgent, but for him, it's enough, after all, there is a secret weapon.

……

"What's your name?" Chen Jingle asked the little yellow door beside him.

They are now on their way to find Li Xun, the general of Dingyuan. The little yellow door that followed beside him was the one who hid beside Yang Fuguo before and didn't dare to move.

As for the one who wanted to run out and call for help, the grave grass was already two meters high.

Hearing Chen Jingle's question, Xiao Huangmen trembled violently, swallowed his throat, and replied cautiously: "Go back...... When returning to China, the little one is named Yang Shouhan. ”

Chen Jingle nodded: "The name is good, you are also Yang Fuguo's righteous son?"

"No, it's not, it's just Wei ...... A small servant beside Father-in-law Yang. Xiao Huangmen was terrified.

Chen Jingle nodded, and asked again, "Are you literate?"

"Learned some. Yang Shouhan said softly.

The corners of Chen Jingle's mouth were lightly raised, the literacy rate is worrying these years, and it is good to be able to read and write.

As everyone knows, it was this smile that made Yang Shouhan's heart more and more frightened, and he wanted to cry without tears, for fear that he would not serve him well, which would make the national teacher dissatisfied and poke himself to death with one finger.

Sensing his nervousness, Chen Jingle said calmly: "Since you didn't make a mistake, then I naturally won't kill you, but if you follow Yang Fuguo's old path in the future, then don't blame me." ”

"No, no, no......" Yang Shouhan shook his head again and again, but his heart gradually relaxed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Jingle chatted with him a few words, and got a lot of inside information in the palace, including the list of some of Yang Fuguo's henchmen.

These are very useful to Chen Jingle, at least knowing that those people are going to solve it.

Soon, the two came to the camp of the Shence Army,

Looking at the soldiers in the camp of the Shence Army, Chen Jingle frowned slightly, and the military discipline was even looser than he imagined.

Yang Shouhan stepped forward to report, with the emperor's dictation, indicating that he wanted to see Dingyuan's general Li Xun.

Although the sergeants on duty were careless, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders, even if some soldiers brought the two of them to Li Xun's camp.

"Are you Li Xun?" Chen Jingle looked at the tall man in front of him, compared to the soldiers outside, he had a little more brave aura, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes brought a sense of righteousness to his face.

Not bad.

Li Xun asked suspiciously: "I am!" Your Excellency is ?......."

A rare Taoist priest appeared in the Shence military camp, and the young Taoist priest in front of him gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.

Li Xun frowned secretly.

Chen Jingle looked at Li Xun briefly, the other party's first impression of him was not bad, and handed him a letter: "This is a secret letter from Your Majesty to you." ”

Li Xun didn't dare to slack off, bowed down and took it with both hands, and opened it in front of the two. After reading it, his expression changed, and he finally gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said solemnly: "The last general is willing to obey the command of the national teacher." ”

Chen Jingle smiled: "Very good, congratulations on making the right choice." ”

He had also considered whether Li Xun would refuse before, but now it seemed that there was no need to worry.

Li Xun welcomed Chen Jingle to the side of the case and sat down and served tea in person.

Chen Jingle asked, "General Li, do you know how many people there are in the Shence Army in Chang'an City?"

"Less than 20,000. ”

"How much can you control?"

Li Xun looked ashamed: "One thousand and five at most." ”

Chen Jingle frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, it was already good to have one thousand and five, if it could be completely twisted into a rope, the effect of these people would definitely be far beyond imagination.

After thinking about it, Chen Jingle asked again: "Among the others, how many of them are from Yang Fuguo?"

Li Xun replied in a deep voice: "Most of them, but since Yang Fuguo is dead, then let them continue to work for Yang Fuguo, I'm afraid it may not be." So we can use that and break them down one by one. In addition, the last general has the confidence to persuade two or three of them not to resist and use them for the national teacher. ”

"Just what I wanted. Chen Jingle clapped his palms, "If this matter is successful, General Li can make a great achievement, and Poor Dao will definitely strive for the greatest reward for you in front of the emperor, and it is not impossible to take charge of an army alone." ”

"The last general first thanked the National Teacher for his support. Li Xun didn't seem very excited, he knew that Chen Jingle was painting a big cake for him, but the heat in his eyes betrayed his mind.

Chen Jingle is quite satisfied, Li Xun has been in the army for many years, even if he has the shadow of his ancestors, he is only a general from the fourth rank of Dingyuan, and seeing that the great opportunity is in front of him, he will naturally seize it firmly. Otherwise, it can only be said that he is really too stupid and deserves to be unable to get up for the rest of his life.

"You first find an excuse to trick them into controlling them, and then we will solve their affairs when we come back from raiding the house. Chen Jingle commanded.

Li Xun hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"

Chen Jingle noticed the change in his expression, so he said: "Don't worry, if they are willing to be sincerely loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor, then the poor Dao will naturally not embarrass them." ”

It's a big deal to kill and then re-promote, anyway, I don't expect these shrimp soldiers and crabs to have any success.

Li Xun lowered his head: "Everything is subject to the orders of the National Teacher." ”

Several high-ranking generals in the Shence Army were successively invited by Li Xun under the pretext of having important matters to discuss, and with Chen Jingle's ability, he restrained a few military generals who were used to being comfortable.

Even if it was the few people in Li Xun's mouth that he was sure to persuade, Chen Jingle did not relax, and everything was waiting for him to come back from copying the Wei State Mansion.

Li Xun, who witnessed all this, naturally became more and more in awe of Chen Jingle, and finally understood why the emperor would canonize him as a national teacher.

Not to mention the little eunuch Yang Shouhan, Chen Jingle's image in his mind has long been high in the mountains, and he is an absolute immortal in the world.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the house. Chen Jingle waved his hand.

Li Xun was extremely excited, and directly ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, left 500 people to guard the camp, and followed Chen Jingle to kill the Duke of Wei.

The people in Chang'an City have not yet received the news, and when they saw a large number of troops appearing on the streets, they were immediately frightened, could it be that there was a rebellion in the city, and the Shence army rebelled?

However, a discerning person soon discovered that these soldiers were rushing to the Wei Mansion, surrounding the huge Wei Mansion, and their eyes widened suddenly.

"Wait, hasn't the Shence Army been controlled by Wei Guogong all along?"

"Oh my God, how dare they?"

And yet that's how it happened.

When Chen Jingle led the Shence army to break through the gate of the Wei State Mansion, all kinds of angry reprimands and screams suddenly came from inside, which soon turned into crying or loud wailing.

Onlookers shuddered.

What the hell is going on?

When the news came from the palace, people learned that Yang Fuguo was actually dead, at the hands of the emperor's newly canonized national teacher.

"The new national teacher?!"

The new official took office with three fires, and Chen Jingle's first fire was to burn the Wei Mansion to the ground.
