At the end of 880 AD, before Huang Chao led the peasant rebel army to attack Chang'an, Tang Xizong held a favorite polo game in front of the Qingsi Hall of Daming Palace. At that time, Chen Jingxuan, Niu Xuan, Yang Shili and Luo Yuangao, who were still in the court, were about to be released to take over the post of Jiedu envoy, and Tang Xizong used a polo game to decide according to the outcome of the victory or defeat to allow them to give priority to the richest place to serve.

In the game at that time, Chen Jingxuan was the first to hit the hole and won the position of Jiannan Jiedu envoy. Niu Miao chose the post of envoy of Shannan Province. This kind of important position of appointing and dismissing officials by winning or losing polo matches, and being an envoy of moderation, is the most rash, absurd, and extremely ridiculous in the entire history, and it is also one of the only notorious events in the late Tang Dynasty.

But Chen Jingxuan's own inner desires were not absolutely satisfied, after all, Shannan Dao, centered on Hanzhong Mansion, was no worse than Jiannan Dao in the real sense, so after taking over as the envoy of Jiannan Dao, he never gave up watching Shannan Dao. As the elder brother of Tian Lingzi, the great eunuch of the court at that time, Chen Jingxuan secretly gave Shannan Province a lot of bad luck.

But at that time, the Tang Dynasty court was even occupied by Huangchao's puppet Qi regime in Chang'an, Kyoto, and even Tian Lingzi had little energy to single-mindedly squeeze out Niu Miao. Although there were many festival envoys in the late Tang Dynasty, they were both in two places or even more. But at that time, several people relied on the 'fair competition' of polo matches to fight for positions, and for many reasons, Chen Jingxuan did not take the position of Shannan Province Jiedu envoy in a short period of time.

In less than half a year, Lin Feng, who had just appeared not long ago, was secretly instructed by Uncle Li Huang, and Uncle Li Huang and Tian Lingzi secretly made an agreement in private. After these things were successfully completed, Tian Lingzi had an agreement with the upstart Li Huangshu, so Chen Jingxuan also did not stretch out his claws to Shannan Province for the time being under his hint.

But later, with Lin Feng's strong suppression of Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan realized that he could no longer rely on Tian Lingzi, and Tang Xizong was in Chengdu Mansion at that time, except for the tens of thousands of Shence troops who looked like 'waste' in Chen Jingxuan, most of the remaining troops were from Jiannan Dao, that is, they were actually Chen Jingxuan's 'private army'!

Under all the favorable circumstances, Chen Jingxuan couldn't stand the temptation of being the emperor at all, and when his desire could no longer be suppressed, Chen Jingxuan suddenly made a decision to put Tang Xizong, the son of heaven, under house arrest, and coerce the son of heaven to order the princes. Especially when all the attention of the imperial court was on the puppet Qi regime at that time, Chen Jingxuan was very confident that he could tear down the building of the Tang Dynasty, which had been stormy for decades, within a year.

But the world is unpredictable, and what backfires is that Tang Xizong and his personal eunuch Yang Lianting privately negotiated to send a secret letter to Uncle Li Huang on the front line for help, and Tian Lingzi After learning the news, he temporarily made a wait-and-see attitude, and did not help his brother Chen Jingxuan at all. The reason is that Chen Jingxuan was too anxious at that time, and directly promoted the generals who were placed in the forbidden army in advance, and at the same time, he completely set aside Tian Lingzi, who had always controlled the forbidden army, which was also the reason why Tian Lingzi did not betray Tang Xizong at the critical moment.

And what happened after that was even more unexpected than Chen Jingxuan, after Uncle Li Huang received the secret order for help, Lin Feng led people to attack Chengdu Mansion for thousands of miles, and rescued Chen Jingxuan's trump card - Tang Xizong from Chengdu Mansion overnight, followed by a comprehensive siege of tens of thousands of elite divisions of the Feng family's army. And the most important reason is that because of the rebellion of Zhu Wen under Huang Chao, the Feng family army, which confronted Zhu Wen on the front line of Dengzhou, Shannan Province, could turn its guns and deal with Chen Jingxuan with all its might.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Feng family army mobilized by Lin Feng from Shannan Road at that time would not be enough to capture the Chengdu Mansion that was fully defended, or Chen Jingxuan could destroy the Feng family army in turn and stab the Tang Dynasty court army in the back in one fell swoop. It is not impossible to even unite with the puppet Qi to annihilate the Tang court troops gathered on the front line of Fengzhou in one fell swoop and overthrow the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

But after all, everything is if, and the reality is extremely cruel, Chen Jingxuan didn't expect too much, he didn't expect the news of Tang Xizong's house arrest to fly away, and he didn't expect the Fengzhou front line to make moves so quickly, and it was so sharp. He didn't expect Lin Feng to rob Tang Xizong unknowingly. The most important thing is Zhu Quanzhong's rebellion, which led to the sudden emergence of tens of thousands of new troops of the Feng family's army.

The remnant yellow sunset hit Chen Jingxuan in the woods through the dense branches and leaves, showing his weakness, and it reflected Chen Jingxuan, who was sad at this time, extremely depressed. Looking back on the changes in just a few years, Chen Jingxuan is also very emotional. From a poor man, he entered the Zuo Shence Army with the help of his younger brother Tian Lingzi, and was promoted to the position of General Zuo Jin Wuwei in just a few years. However, the rights at that time were not too high, and it was not until shortly before the Huangchao Peasant Army entered Chang'an, after winning the Jiannan Province Jiedu Envoy by playing polo, Chen Jingxuan was considered to have reached the peak of his life.

has been available for a shorter period of time than before, and now Chen Jingxuan is no longer the envoy of the Jiannan Dao Festival of the Tang Dynasty, but has become a traitorous soldier who has been defeated and has fled.

At this time, more than a dozen people around Chen Jingxuan can be said to be the henchmen that Chen Jingxuan has been leading all these years, and their fate has been tied to Chen Jingxuan since decades ago, and the promotion experience of these people is mostly similar to Chen Jingxuan, but in the end, they are still working under Chen Jingxuan's account, and they have not started anew.

And the black-faced man who arrived just now seemed to be very familiar with everyone present, and took advantage of Chen Jingxuan's silence to nod at everyone one by one, which can be regarded as a polite greeting. What is even more surprising is that everyone looked at Chen Jingxuan's changes and squeezed their eyes at the black-faced man, which couldn't be more obvious.

The black-faced man couldn't stand everyone's 'persuasion', and after looking at everyone in embarrassment, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took two steps forward, and didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at Chen Jingxuan, but comforted in a very low voice: "My lord! Don't think so much, mourning! After all, there are only two days left! ”

"Huh..." Chen Jingxuan subconsciously responded lightly, nodded slowly, raised his eyes slightly to look at the other party, and then slowly raised his head, facing the sky blocked by branches and leaves, frowned, and sighed in a deep voice: "Yes!" There are only two days left. ”

But Chen Jingxuan's heart is not as easy as these words, although it has only been two days, Chen Jingxuan does not believe that the next thing will be too smooth, even if he has made sufficient preparations. But in front of many henchmen, Chen Jingxuan didn't dare to be too lonely, after all, morale is still very important. After a moment of silence on his back again, he slowly waved his hand at the people around him, chuckled, and turned to walk deeper into the woods.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone, the back is obviously not as tall and strong as before, and it is even a little stiff and lonely.
