Chapter 392: Xu Jingye rebelled
"Hahaha........"
As soon as Shangguan Wan'er said this, it immediately caused Wu Meiniang to laugh, not to laugh at Shangguan Wan'er, although what Shangguan Wan'er said was indeed a little too idealistic, but this does not mean that there is no possibility of realization.
Of course, with Shangguan Wan'er's words, Wu Meiniang thought of a person who was almost forgotten by herself, Duan Jian, for Duan Jian, Wu Meiniang can be said to have a fresh memory, not to mention that when he was in Chang'an City before, he created movable type printing, so that he obtained a sharp weapon to win the hearts of the world's scholars, and later, when Chang'an City fell into a food crisis, he helped himself skillfully crack the hateful means of those big families and solved a huge crisis for himself.
It's just that in the matter of suppressing the rebellion of the Heavenly Dao Sect last year, I let myself see his extraordinary methods, but it was just ..........
After the excitement, Wu Meiniang was also a little hesitant, even if Duan Jian's means were superhuman, this time he was not facing ordinary people, but the British Duke Xu Jingye, although Xu Jingye was not as good as his grandfather, the previous generation of British Duke Li Ji was as wise and scheming, and he had rich experience in leading troops, but after all, he was a general, a family scholar, and he was trained by many famous generals including his grandfather since he was a child, the art of war and tactics, among the new generation of generals in the entire Tang Dynasty, no one could stand out, these two people met, If it is evenly matched or Duan Jian has the upper hand, it is easy to say, in case Duan Jian is defeated by Xu Jingye, or even persecuted because of this, it is not what Wu Meiniang wants to see.
Just when Wu Meiniang lowered her head and pondered, Shangguan Wan'er on the side stared at Wu Zetian without blinking, and her heart was beating wildly.
She didn't know what happened to her just now, she actually told Duan Jian like this, but now Wu Meiniang has this kind of expression, I don't know what she will think, will she suspect that she is selfish, or suspect Duan Jian because of this, and even she regrets it a little at this time, why did she say Duan Jian on impulse just now, which caused this result.
Just when Shangguan Wan'er was nervous in her heart, Wu Meiniang finally spoke, and said, "Yes, it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip away, whether you can become a pillar of the imperial court, not by talking, but by doing, this time this palace will give this kid a chance, see how he handles this matter, deal with it, this palace Xu will give him a great future, if he doesn't handle it well, he will stay outside for the rest of his life and never come back." ”
Listening to Wu Meiniang's extremely vague words, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that this first level had passed, and as for what would happen next, it would depend on Duan Jian's own ability and means.
..............................
Just after Duan Jian and Wu Meiniang got Xu Jingye, who was located in Yangzhou City, preparing to rebel through various channels, the real party, the British prince Xu Jingye, was also preparing for the rebellion.
Xu Jingye, who is just twenty-seven years old this year, not only inherited the British dukedom of his grandfather Li Ji, but he himself is also considered to be the court, and he has recognized the Taifu Shaoqing and Meizhou Thorn History, originally after serving in Meizhou Thorn History for two years, Wu Meiniang wanted to drop him to Chang'an City to arrange a relatively high position, but what he didn't expect was that in the Meizhou Thorn History, Xu Jingye made a serious mistake because of personal reasons, and in desperation, Wu Meiniang could only demote him to Yangzhou and serve as Sima Zhi.
If it were someone else, if he made that kind of serious mistake, even if he was not killed, at least he would be punished, and it would be inevitable to be demoted, but when it came to Xu Jingye, he was only about to reach the first level, and even took a position in a wealthy place like Yangzhou from Meizhou, which shows that Wu Meiniang attaches great importance to Xu Jingye, but unfortunately, for Wu Meiniang's kindness, Xu Jingye does not have a trace of gratitude, but is full of resentment, thinking that Wu Meiniang is ungrateful.
Under this thought, and at the instigation of some other friends who were sympathetic to the same disease, the idea of rebellion suddenly poured into his mind, and then, this idea became stronger and stronger in his mind, causing him to think about this whether he was eating or sleeping, and finally, he made up his mind to rebel.
After having the right idea, Xu Jingye and his younger brother Ling Li Jingyou, Tang Zhiqi in the matter, Bo Luo Bin Wang, the lord of Chang'an, and Du Qiuren of Zhan Shizhi joined forces and began to discuss the possibility of rebellion, among which Li Jingye was demoted to Yangzhou Sima, Li Jingyou was dismissed for committing mistakes, Tang Zhiqi was demoted to Bai Cang Ling, Luo Bin Wang was demoted to Linhai Cheng, and Du Qiuren was demoted to Yixian Ling.
Under the instigation of such a group of frustrated politicians, Xu Jingye's great cause of rebellion actually went very smoothly, especially his mastermind Wei Siwen, who first instructed his henchmen to supervise the imperial history Xue Zhongzhang to ask to be ordered to send an envoy to Jiangdu, and then asked Wei Chao, a native of Yongzhou, to report to Xue Zhongzhang, saying that "Yangzhou Governor Shi Chen Jingzhi conspiracy to rebel." Xue Zhongzhang arrested Chen Jingzhi and imprisoned. A few days later, Li Jingye arrived in a stagecoach, pretending to be Yangzhou Sima to take up his post, saying, "According to the secret decree of the Empress Dowager, because of the rebellion of Feng Ziyou, the chief of Gaozhou, he will send troops to fight." So he opened the treasury and ordered Yangzhou Shicao to join the army Li Zongchen to go to the money casting workshop, drive the prisoners and craftsmen to give them armor. beheading Chen Jingzhi in prison; The record joined the army and Sun Chuxing resisted, and was also beheaded to show the public, and the Yangzhou officials no longer dared to resist.
Since then, the entire Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Xu Jingye's group, and the victory in the first battle has also greatly strengthened the possibility of successful rebellion in the hearts of Xu Jingye and others.
Of course, Xu Jingye is not a fool, if you want to rebel, it does not mean that as soon as you put up a banner, someone will come to defect, except for the end of several dynasties in history, this kind of rebellion is basically done by fools, if you want to rebel, rebel when a dynasty still has a certain degree of control over the world, you often need a good way.
One of the most commonly used methods is the "Qingjun side", and Xu Jingye also used a similar method this time, that is, under the guise of crusading against Wu Meiniang, enlightening Li Xian's grievances, and at the same time, in order to show the justice of his side, he also asked people to find a person who looked like the dead Prince Zhang Huai, Li Xian, claiming that he was ordered by Prince Zhang Huai to send troops.
Because the world was dissatisfied with Wu Meiniang's unauthorized abolition of Li Xian, the crown prince of the former emperor Li Zhi, coupled with the bewitchment of the message carefully arranged by Xu Jingye and others, in a short period of time, Xu Jingye actually gathered tens of thousands of people under his command.
"Congratulations to the governor, congratulations to the governor, since the governor raised troops to fight against Wu Cao, the world's strong men have responded, and now I Yangzhou has raised no less than 100,000 troops, as long as the general chooses an auspicious day, I am afraid that soon we will hit Chang'an City." In Yangzhou City, the mastermind Wei Siwen congratulated Xu Jingye triumphantly.
Unlike the general rebellion of the rogues, Xu Jingye, who was born in Jiangmen, is still quite capable in leading the troops, and he has set up three government offices: the first is called Kuangfu Mansion, the second is called Yinggong Mansion, and the third is called Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Li Jingye proclaimed himself the general of Kuangfu Mansion and led the governor of Yangzhou. Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren were appointed as the left and right Changshi, Li Zongchen and Xue Zhongzhang were appointed as the left and right Sima, Wei Siwen was appointed as the military advisor, and Luo Bin Wang was appointed as the secretary.
In this way, a combat head is thus formed.
"Hahaha, what the military advisor said is a bit excessive, although my army is strong, but the other party is not trivial, not to mention that there are millions of elite border troops in the imperial court, just a few Davids stationed in Chang'an City, it is not so easy to deal with, besides, now is not a good time to raise troops, we still lack an important thing." Hearing Wei Siwen say this, Xu Jingye also replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, what the Metropolitan Governor said is that he can't get the edict of the thief." Wei Siwen asked.
Hearing Wei Siwen's words, Xu Jingye was obviously stunned, and then nodded and said, "The military advisor is worthy of being a military advisor, just like the roundworm in the stomach of the governor of Pontus, you know everything the governor of Pontus thinks, yes, it is the edict of begging for thieves, the two armies have always been at war, this edict for begging thieves is always needed, and this time the governor of Bendu should be clear, and it should be Xiaoyu in the world, so that everyone in the world knows why the governor of Pontus raised troops." ”
"If that's the case, don't worry about it, this point has already been thought of, and it has been written out, if the governor has read it, he will definitely be satisfied, sightseeing brother, take out your masterpiece and show it to the governor!" Wei Siwen said to King Luo Bing on the side.
Hearing Wei Siwen's words, Luo Bingwang escaped from his arms with a piece of silk satin, which was densely covered with beautiful official letters.
At first, Xu Jingye was a little unimpressed, but when he glanced at the things on the satin a few times, the expression on his face couldn't help but change greatly.
On behalf of Li Jingye, he asked for Wu Cao
The pseudo-Linchao Wu clan 1, the sex is not harmonious, and the earth is cold 2. In the past, Taizong Xia Chen3, once served with a change of clothes4. The late festival 5, the filthy spring palace 6. The private of the hidden emperor 7, the concubine of the back room of the yin picture.........
After reading it one by one, Xu Jingye was extremely satisfied, and even after reading it once, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and then he put the silk together heavily, put it on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then strode in front of King Luo Bin, put his hands together, and saluted King Luo Bin respectfully before he said.
"There is a gentleman who is so talented, and makes such an article, and the odds of winning have increased by a few points, such a masterpiece, if it can be spread all over the world, without my army coming in person, everyone in the world of Confucius is against Wu Cao, and the heroes rise up, and the evil thief of Wu Cao, how can there be an immortal gift."
"Most of the governors praised falsely, a certain is a weak scholar, that is, he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, nor can he march to set up a formation, but he can still make a modest contribution in this literary matter, if he can bring certain benefits to our army, it can be regarded as a certain contribution." Looking at Xu Jingye, who was so respectful, Luo Bingwang said excitedly.
"Okay, there is a wise man like a military advisor under a certain command, and a great talent like Mr. Luo, what is the reason for this army to be invincible, come to someone, pass the order, three days later, gather outside the north gate, and the whole army will march north, and go straight to Chang'an City."
Xu Jingye said excitedly.
................................
Xu Jingye's rebellion spread all over the world in a short period of time, and for a while, the entire Tang Dynasty rose again, and everyone looked at the court, wanting to know how the court would deal with this matter, whether it was according to what Xu Jingye said, Wu Meiniang returned the government to the emperor, or still sent troops to suppress it.
Of course, many people speculate that Wu Meiniang will choose the former, because if Wu Meiniang chooses the latter, it will be very difficult, first of all, the imperial court does not have an advantage in terms of military strength, and the elite of the imperial court is the border army, but the border army must have no time to take care of it at this time, so Jin Jin wants to confront the 100,000 elites under Xu Jingye's command with the remaining local government soldiers, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Just when everyone focused their attention on Xu Jingye and the imperial court, but no one found out that a group of outsiders quietly came to Suzhou City, it stands to reason that after a year of governance by Duan Jian, Suzhou City has already recovered its previous glory, and there is a huge flow of people, so what is so strange about how many people came.
But these people did not rest in the inn like everyone else, but went directly to the Suzhou Mansion, which cannot but be said to be strange.
"What, what, the Queen Mother arranged for the lower officials to solve Xu Jingye's rebellion, this is ....... This is not a joke, let's not say that Xia Guan has no army in his hands, even if he has an army, then Xu Jingye has 100,000 elites, and even if Xia Guan is iron, he is not his opponent! ”
After receiving the holy decree in the hands of the person who passed the decree, Duan Jian was completely blinded, he could never have imagined that the extremely smart Wu Meiniang would actually think of such a strange thing, and actually wanted him to lead the troops to stop Xu Jingye, and even kill Xu Jingye.
After listening to this holy decree, Duan Jian was joking with himself for the first time, you know, in Duan Jian's impression, Xu Jingye's rebellion was still relatively famous in the early Tang Dynasty, in addition to Xu Jingye's own prominent identity, the huge momentum of the rebellion, and finally the speed of defeat was so fast, from the beginning of the rebellion to the end, it was completely finished in a few months, and Xu Jingye was also killed by his own generals.
If you just see this, everyone will think that Xu Jingye is also a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, but if you really think so, it would be a big mistake, Xu Jingye is not an ordinary person, his grandfather is Li Ji, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, and he has few failures in his life, Xu Jingye, who has been taught by this kind of person since he was a child, how can he be an incompetent person, on the contrary, Xu Jingye is not only not incompetent, but also an extremely strong young man.
Duan Jian already knew this when he was in Chang'an City, and he knew from the mouths of Li Wei and others that this Xu Jingye was still quite capable among the younger generation in Chang'an City, as for the later defeat, it was caused by a variety of reasons, and Xu Jingye's own incompetence should not be judged only by this.
