In the autumn and July of the fourth year of Tang Xizong, Xizong held a capture ceremony in the Great Xuanlou, Wu Ningjie envoy Shi Pu presented the body of Huang Chao, and there were twenty or thirty concubines of Huang Chao, Duan Mingyu and others were standing upstairs, before that, Ge Cong Zhou Shang asked the two to intercede with Duan Mingyu, whether they could deal with one or two for him, Duan Mingyu also thought that no matter what, what Huang Chao did was not as bad as his wife, but Duan Mingyu could not intercede, Huang Chao was in rebellion, in this era, rebellion is the most feared major event by the ruler, Duan Mingyu once he interceded, it will be a catastrophe to meet him

Therefore, Duan Mingyu was helpless, Ge Cong, Zhou Shangrang, and the two of them were not ignorant, Duan Mingyu was able to protect him, and the two of them had already done their best to involve Huang Chao, no wonder he was arrogant and arrogant above the Great Xuan Tower, and Tang Xizong Li Yi stepped forward with a dragon robe and asked Huang Chao, concubines, etc.: "You Cao are all honorable children, what are the thieves who are favored by the country?"

The woman at the head replied without humility or arrogance: "The madman rebelled against the country and lost the sect with millions of people, and sowed Ba and Shu; Now Your Majesty can't refuse the thief to blame a woman for putting the secretary of general in handsome."

Tang Xizong's old face turned red, this is ironic, he has no talent to make Huang Chao go unchecked, he can't beat Huang Chao, and once lost Chang'an, fled to the land of Bashu, and became the second Tang Xuanzong, Tang Xizong came to ask a woman, what kind of king is this

Duan Mingyu couldn't help but twitch directly, this second-class emperor was ridiculous and incompetent, not to mention that his face was not thick enough, and he couldn't quarrel, and the only thing that could make a difference was in play

Tang Xizong didn't ask much, and killed all the concubines of Huang Chao in the city, before the execution, the law enforcement officers took pity on these women and let them get drunk and then executed, the girls cried and drank, and soon died in the drunken bed, and the main room of the head of the house did not cry or get drunk, and died calmly

"Report Caizhou's anti-thief Qin Zongquan's general Sun Ru's attack on Jianghuai, Jianghuai's general Yang Xingmi asked His Majesty for help" was when a group of monarchs and ministers went down to the Daguan Tower, and a small yellow door presented a military report from Yangzhou that was urgent for thousands of miles

"Qin Zongquan is the remnant of the Yellow Nest, I don't go to them for trouble, but attack me, Jianghuai, why isn't Qin Zongquan personally leading the troops," Tang Xizong was shocked, and then stabilized his mood a little, and asked slowly

"Returning to Your Majesty, Qin Zongquan has never personally led the army, only his generals have led 50,000 troops south."

"Gao Piao, I sealed him, he did the mission of the Jianghuai Festival, he led his troops to resist with all their might, and he must do his best, Sun Ru" Li Yi was furious, according to his analysis, Jianghuai is a tax-heavy soldier, jīng, there are many people, there is no reason to defeat a rebel army of 50,000 people

Tian Lingzi slowly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Jianghuai Jiedu Envoy Gao Biao has died of illness at the beginning of this year, and the position of the Jiedu Envoy has been idle so far."

After the group of dragons has no leader, what else is there to fight, Li Yi suddenly sat down paralyzed, Jiangnan is the main income of his finances, Jianghuai once lost, and the blow to his side is not small

The seventh prince, Li Jie, said: "Brother Huang, according to his ministers, the land of Jianghuai is a plate of scattered sand at the moment, no one is leading it, and they are fighting for themselves, so we should quickly set up a new festival to keep Jianghuai worry-free."

"What the seventh brother said, according to the opinion of the Qing family, who should be the most suitable?" Li Yi had completely lost his judgment at this time, and could only ask a group of important ministers for advice

Everyone looked at Tian Lingzi and Li Jie together, these two people did not speak, where did the other courtiers dare to say more, Jianghuai Gao Biao has always been loyal to Li Yi, even if he Tian Lingzi is greedy, this piece of fat can not reach into his hands and feet, so there is no henchman in the land of Jianghuai, at this time he closed his eyes slightly, this action means that he has no opinion at this time, Li Wangye also lowered his hand gently, Jianghuai also did not have the power he supported, and the court was silent for a while

"The emperor and his ministers thought that Yang Xingmi, the assassin of Yangzhou, could take on the important position of this festival", Duan Mingyu finally came out, and neither of them reported their views on this, so the officials could express their opinions

According to Duan Mingyu's experience in later generations, Yang Xingmi would later become the overlord of Jianghuai, destroy Sun Ru, unify dozens of states in Jianghuai with Yangzhou as the center, and the later Southern Tang regime would steal his country

"The minister has objections, Yang Xingmi is a state assassin, and I am afraid that he will be disappointed in his holy hopes if he holds such an important position," Tian Lingzi raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said, No matter what, the opinion of the seventh prince is his own opposition, this is his Lao Tian's purpose

"Then Tian Xiangye can have a better candidate, Jianghuai has the most prosperous population and military strength in Yangzhou, and the financial resources are all counted, with this person leading Yangzhou to contact the states with heavy troops, only this Jianghuai can be guaranteed," Duan Mingyu also stepped forward to argue

"Your Majesty, Yang Xingmi's qualifications are still young, and he is not the best candidate," as soon as Tian Lingzi spoke, his minions raised their hands in favor and echoed him

"Non-Yangzhou soldiers, food is sufficient, and according to the Yangtze River, Yang Xingmi, this person can be reused," the seventh prince also joined the debate with an ivory board, and the officials of the seven princes and the party naturally did not stand idly by, and for a while, the court became a pot of porridge, and they all refuted it with red faces and red ears

"Enough, I see that you can't come up with a better candidate, then Yang Xingmi, retreat from the dynasty......" Li Yi couldn't bear this kind of scene like a quarrel the most, and suddenly fled in panic, everyone looked at each other, Tian Lingzi and his party had to retreat stupidly

Jianghuai is the Yangtze River of Jianghuai thousands of miles, originating from Qinghai, crossing the Three Gorges, crossing Jingxiang, crossing the Yangtze River, connecting Wuyue, the momentum is magnificent, the vast and vast, the bottomless Yangtze River downstream, there are only two easy ferries, one is the quarrying ferry and the other is the Guazhou crossing

In between the two is the eternal Jinling...

Jinling is based on the mountain as the city, the river is the pond, the Yangtze River is the moat, the danger of leaning on the mountains and rivers is one of the few imperial capitals that make people have the spirit of the king at a glance, but the dynasties that set the capital here are all short-lived, it is said that the reason why this is so is because the feng shui of Jinling is too good, and has long been destroyed

Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, there were monks who saw that the king was extremely prosperous here, so he offered a plan to bury gold to suppress the king's anger, so the king of Chu Wei made people cast a golden person, buried in the city of Jinling today, next to the pagoda bridge of Lion Mountain, and built Jinling Yi on the stone mountain, in the name of Jinling, so Jinling is in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is in Jianghuai, and it is the economic, political, and military center, so Jinling belongs to the center of the center
