After all, Zhang Zhongwu is the one who is the envoy of the festival, and his age is also there, so he is very mature whether he thinks about things or considers problems. The reason why Zhang Zhifang, Shi Xiong, and Zhang Wei were arranged to lead troops to escort the spoils to Chang'an was also after careful consideration.

Needless to say, Zhang Zhifang is definitely his own son, and he must be given the opportunity to show his face.

Seeing that he is getting older day by day, although his son Zhang Zhifang is said to be the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, according to the general situation, he will inherit his position as the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, but there are always accidents, whether it is popularity or ability, his son Zhang Zhifang is not as good as those bad boys of the old Zhang family in Liaodong, especially Zhang Yunshen and Zhang Jianhui's father and son, if he does not let his son get the recognition of the imperial court as soon as possible and obtain the support of the imperial court, after his death, his son Zhang Zhifang will not say that he will inherit his position smoothly, and it is difficult to say whether he can continue to stay in Youzhou?

Therefore, this major event to the imperial court was led by his son Zhang Zhifang, and before he died, he created more opportunities for his son to contact with the dignitaries of the imperial court, and at least he could be familiar with him after a long time.

As for Shi Xiong, according to Zhang Zhongwu's original intention, he didn't want him to go, this kid spoke directly and it was hard to hear, the key was that he couldn't get to the point. But as the main general of this attack on Shanxi, Shi Xiong's credit is too great, if he is not allowed to go to Chang'an to chill the hearts of the Youzhou soldiers, who will be willing to contribute to himself and lay the foundation for his son in the future?

Although he was unwilling, he still let Shi Xiong go with him in the case of reluctance, and by the way, let the cultural atmosphere of Chang'an edify him again.

As for Zhang Wei?

Zhang Zhongwu was even more reluctant to let him stay by his side, a person who had a relationship with King Yun and the prime minister of the dynasty, what good was it to stay by his side? In addition to being a spy, it's **, who knows when this kid will blow himself and his son away.

Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, I know you are very capable, but your god is too big for me to support, so you should go back and forth there. Out of sight and out of mind, if you mix well in the future, with my son's relationship with you today, it is still appropriate to help each other.

Since it was carefully considered, when Zhang Zhongwu proposed that these three people go to Chang'an to offer victory, it was unanimously approved by everyone.

Now that you have the idea of offering victory to the imperial court, let's hurry up and prepare, it's not easy to store Curimo's head in such a hot weather!

Therefore, before Zhang Zhifang led people to Chang'an, Zhang Zhongwu first arranged for a fast horse to report the news of Youzhou's dedication to the imperial court, and strive to obtain the recognition and support of the imperial court.

Don't think that if you want to offer Jiejie to the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely agree.

Is this not necessarily the case?

What if the Tang Emperor felt that you Youzhou Festival envoy took so many people to sacrifice this thing, from Youzhou to Chang'an, eating and drinking along the way, and urinating along the way to pollute the environment, which was time-consuming and laborious, and couldn't be done?

What's more, what's so interesting about Xianjie, isn't it just to let the emperor and ministers see the appearance of the leader of Shanxi, just to see the corpse of the king of Shanxi who once opposed you, what is so beautiful about the corpse.

Okay, okay, the widow doesn't look at it. So the emperor waved his old man's hand, okay, I'll just forget about Xianjie, and the few people you caught will watch and deal with it yourself.

Therefore, before offering victory to the imperial court, Zhang Zhongwu must first send someone to the imperial court to explain the situation, and after obtaining the consent of the imperial court, he ordered someone to go to Chang'an with the head of Kulimo, the leader of the Ao Lost Department himself, and the descending table of the head of the Duji Department.

Tang Chang'an Palace.

At this time, the Tang Emperor Li Chen and the Prime Minister Ling Huxuan had received the news of Youzhou's request for victory.

At this time, the Tang Emperor was Li Chen, who was known as "Little Taizong", and his wisdom and courage were definitely not comparable to other emperors in the late Tang Dynasty. When he heard the news that the Youzhou army broke through the mountain, killed the thief leader, and captured the leader of the Ao Lost Division, he was very happy, how many years, Datang finally hardened once, can you not celebrate well?

"Hahaha, good, this Zhang Zhongwu is really good, he was able to completely eliminate the trouble of Shanxi within half a year, I am very happy." Emperor Li Chen, who heard the news, couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and said to Prime Minister Ling Huxuan.

In Li Chen's view, it is definitely a good thing for the courtiers to offer victory to the court, one can show the invincibility of the ** team, and after half a year of bloody fighting, they finally eliminated Shanxi; The second can also show the loyalty of the courtiers, and they will not forget to show their merits to the emperor after winning the battle, what a good thing.

What's more, you must know that the Tang Dynasty at this time is no longer the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Taizong period, nor is it the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

It's easy to walk downhill! Whether it is a country or a family, as long as it goes downhill, the speed is generally very fast; If you don't have to worry about yourself, you will roll down in a smoke, and if you meet a master who can't run a business, you might even step on it.

However, in the later stage of Datang, he met this emperor Li Chen, who was still a similar emperor, and in the face of the downward trend of Datang, he still rushed forward with all his might, and used his body to prevent the chariot of Datang from sliding down the hillside.

So when he heard the news of the victory of the Youzhou soldiers over Shanxi, he was as happy as a child: "Hahaha, okay, I must personally meet those warriors who are bloodthirsty on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty." Emperor Li Chen happily said to the prime minister Ling Huxuan: "Quickly order Youzhou to bring the spoils of war to Chang'an, I will choose an auspicious day to accept their sacrifices, and set up a banquet for the soldiers to celebrate their achievements." ”

Hearing such news, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Ling Fox's face immediately flashed a trace of uneasiness that was not easy to detect, before becoming the prime minister, he was also a person who served as a festival envoy.

Thinking back to the years when I was a festival envoy, I really didn't achieve anything, I was clean, and if I want to say some credit to show off in front of people, I really didn't have anything when I look back. In those years, except for a recital to the emperor, the credit was almost zero.

Thinking about his son again, Ling Fox's psychology is even more unbalanced, Zhang Zhongwu's son can lead the troops to fight, and his son can eat and drink; Other people's sons can make meritorious deeds, but their own sons are enough to cause trouble.

It's really more popular than people, and I haven't seen anything like it.

I've never seen anything like this in my life.

What's more important is that after Youzhou Jiedu made Zhang Zhongwu have such a feat, can he still honestly stay in that ghost place in Youzhou to do the Jiedu envoy?

Definitely not, "out of the general into the phase" that is the highest ideal of the ancient officials, thousands of years in order to realize this ideal how many people of insight do not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood, squeeze their heads to realize this unattainable dream.

Now Zhang Zhongwu is almost about to come true, once Zhang Zhongwu realizes the dream of "going out and entering the phase", then where should the current prime minister Ling Huxuan go?

Either roll up and leave, or let go as a festival envoy.

But at this time, Ling Fox was already used to staying in Chang'an, and he went out to serve as a festival envoy all of a sudden, he couldn't stand this suffering!

No, no, I can't let that happen. So for the sake of his own future and fate, Ling Fox decided to mess up the matter of Youzhou Xianjie for him.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the matter of Youzhou's dedication still needs to be considered." Ling Fox said.

Still need to consider?

Emperor Li Chen was very surprised when he heard this, "What do you think about this matter?" Tell me your reasoning. ”

"Your Majesty, Youzhou was able to achieve such a big victory, and the minister was sincerely happy, but when I think about it, I am also a little afraid." Ling Fox said.

Afraid?

As soon as these words came out, the emperor couldn't help but be surprised, "Afraid? What scares you? ”
