Wei Gao hurriedly replied: "Be cautious about your words, if you let outsiders hear it, won't you think that you regret entering the court and be loyal?" ”

was so shocked that Zhu Jun waved his hand and said, this is definitely not the case.

Wei Gao's words were very ingenious, firstly, to show that our private banquet had absolutely no purpose of opposing the imperial court, and secondly, to psychologically instill the concept of "Yisong and I are both your people".

Then, after listening to Zhu Jun's babbling, Gao Yue and Wei Gao figured out the psychology and situation of this person.

Zhu Zhu used to be the envoy of the Lulong Festival, originally the Tang Dynasty set up an important town in Pinglu on the northeast border, and governed Yingzhou (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), responsible for the offensive and defensive matters of the region, Lulong was originally a branch under the town of Pinglu, and then gradually became independent, and the geographical and administrative concepts of Youzhou and Fanyang were integrated, so the Lulong is usually called Youzhou.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Lu Long was under the control of Li Huaixian, the rebel general of Anshi, while the Pinglu army in Yingzhou was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and under the leadership of Hou Xiyi, the envoy of its festival, there were many battles with Li Huaixian. After the Pinglu army hung alone on the frontier, both oppressed by the rebels, and the Khitan and Xi people intruded, they could only gather all the soldiers and their families to migrate south, and fight and move, and settled down in Qingzhou (now Weifang, Shandong). In his later years, Hou Xiyi thought that he was also an old revolutionary, became arrogant and lascivious, believed in witchcraft, and was expelled by soldiers like Li Zhongchen in Huaixi, and Li Zhengji, a Korean from the Pinglu Army, replaced him and began to become a separatist force.

What about Lu Long's Li Huaixian? He later defected to the imperial court to force Shi Chaoyi to kill him, and dedicated Shi's head to the imperial court, so the imperial court appeased him and awarded him the envoy of Youzhou Festival.

However, the vast majority of those who could not die well in the Tang Dynasty did not die from the laws of the imperial court, but were killed by insiders: Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers instigated Zhu Xicai, a soldier and horse envoy from Youzhou, and killed Li Huaixian to stand on his own.

Zhu Xicai then thought that Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers had the same surname as him, and they were good brothers worthy of entrusting his henchmen.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao united with the army to kill him.

It is said that when Zhu Xicai was killed, Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao brothers had a rift.

At dawn that day, Zhu Jun first held a sword and stood in front of Zhu Xicai's house, but he didn't know whether he was afraid or his conscience was disturbed, so he lingered there until Zhu Tao arrived with his tooth soldiers.

"What is the hesitation (if you say kill the whole family, you will kill his whole family)?" Zhu Tao gave his brother a contemptuous look, and then led the tooth soldiers to rush in, leaving Zhu Xicai's entire family and slaughtering them all.

After this incident, Zhu Tao and the tooth soldiers of Lulongzhen agreed that Zhu Zhu's personality was too generous, and although he won the hearts of the army, he could not hand over Lulongzhen, which was surrounded by enemies on all sides, to him.

Zhu Tao deceived Zhu Jun and said, "If the princes are divided today, whoever serves the Son of Heaven first will be able to live for a hundred years." ”

At this time, Cai Tingyu, Zhu Jun's most trusted fellow countryman, also came out and said to him: "Since ancient times, how can there be rebels and thieves who can bless future generations? We have Li Baochen and Tian Chengsi in the south of Youzhou, and the Khitan and Xi people in the north are constantly plundering, and the slightest mistake will kill the clan and wipe out. ”

"I believe in the wickedness of these two! What surface brothers, what surface fellows? Zhu Jun has repeatedly scolded and resented in his heart for so many years.

Because he had just entered the court on the front foot, Zhu Tao on the back foot became the queen of Youzhou Jiedu and seized all the military power.

And the real "loyal minister of the Tang family" is Cai Tingyu, who won the trust and appreciation of Emperor Daizong after entering the dynasty, and led Zhu Jun's marching Sima with the title of Dali Shaoqing, but in fact, he was clamping and monitoring himself for the imperial court.

After Zhu Zhu entered the court, he stayed in Biansong, Ziqing, and now he is an envoy in Fengxiang and Jingyuan, but the imperial court has always treated him as a banner, so except for a group of armor generals brought from Youzhou when he entered the court, although Zhu Zhu's title is respectful, his real power is limited.

"If Chengwu can march for me, and Yisong can be the judge of the shogunate, it would be great." When Zhu Jun said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that Zhu Jun trusted himself and Wei Gao so much, and he also wanted to use the two of us to squeeze out Cai Tingyu and Zhu Tiwei.

Sure enough, there is no love and hate in this world for no reason.

So Gao Yue cautiously asked: "Can you know who is the new person who went to Jingyuan Town?" ”

Zhu Jun replied in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Shu." ”

King Shu was Li Mo, who was adopted by Li Shi, who was previously canonized as a prince and conferred the official title of Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions.

"Since it is His Royal Highness King Shu, he will not go out of the cabinet, but lead it from afar." Gao Yue said.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the prince still had a certain amount of real power, and they could go to the local office to "go out of the cabinet", but this also led to the brutal political struggle of the Tang Dynasty, so Emperor Xuanzong set up the "Ten Princes' Mansion", all the princes and princesses, and the county lords and county lords all lived together, and sent special envoys to strictly supervise, and usually no longer went out of the cabinet (the princess may still marry, but the prince and prince can just hehe), even if the official position is granted, most of them are only "remote collars".

There is a rich mansion in the Ten Kings' Mansion, and there is a palace market inside, and the country has prepared the beauty, musical instruments, and degrees, as long as you stay in it with peace of mind and wait for death, the outside world has the sound of dogs and horses, glory and wealth here, and many princes have never been out of the Ten Princes' Mansion until the twilight of their lives, full of white hair.

Although this system effectively prevented unrest in the imperial family, it also allowed the princes and princes of Tang to be kept in captivity, most of whom had low knowledge and only knew how to enjoy happiness, and one generation declined after another.

Zhu Jun nodded, and added to Gao Yue and Wei Gao: "Although King Shu does not go to the post in person, he has the physical strength in King Shu's mansion, and it should be Fu Menghao, the king of Shu, who serves as the assassin of Jingzhou and the camp festival." ”

"How is Meng Hao like a human?"

"Meng Hao is a bachelor of elegance."

So Gao Yue and Wei Gao quickly reached a tacit understanding, and at this time, Gao Yue rolled up his sleeves and asked Zhu Jun: "You might as well play a piece of music to the Holy Lord and ask for something." ”

"What do you want?" Zhu Jun is also very concerned.

"Please let King Shu lead the Jingyuan Military Town!" Gao Yue's words were astonishing.

When Zhu Jun heard this suggestion, he was shocked, "Yi Song is ridiculous, don't you hear about King Yong and King Feng?" ”

After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Suzong Li Heng went to Lingwu alone to claim the emperor, and Xuanzong of Xingshu suddenly became the emperor, and the unwilling Xuanzong took the opportunity to grant the sixteenth son Yongwang Li Lan as the envoy of Shannan East Road, Jiangxi South Province, Lingnan, and Qianzhong Festival, and the governor of Jiangling; He also awarded the twenty-sixth son Feng Wang Li Heng as the envoy of Longyou, Hexi, Anxi, and Beiting Jiedu, and the governor of Wuwei County.

On the surface, Xuanzong wanted multiple princes to lead the armies of all parties and fight with Li Heng to quell the rebellion, that is, he said that "Yuanzi (Li Heng) is in the north of Shuofang, and the kings are divided into important towns and combined with their troops to determine the Central Plains", but in fact, he wants to borrow the hands of King Yong and King Feng to compete for power with his eldest son Li Heng - he doesn't want to be the emperor in name only!

Soon, infighting broke out between King Yong, King Feng, Suzong, and Daizong.
