Chapter 454: The Great General of the Zhongshu Sect
Tang Ao greeted everyone one by one, and even thanked the crane in the clouds when he faced it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It made the crane in the clouds suspicious, and completely misinterpreted Tang Ao's heartfelt gratitude.
Everyone dispersed at Tang Ao's insistence, and he walked to the front office alone.
Before he could go in, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the yatang, and it was Wei Siwen, the military division of the Yangzhou Army, who opened his mouth at this time.
Wei Siwen's words were concise and to the point, and he resolutely opposed the march to Luoyang at this time for two reasons.
One is that Li Xiaoyi's hundreds of thousands of troops are gathering in Jiangnan and can return at any time.
The second is that although the cultivators on his own side are unpredictable, the ghosts and gods are shocked, but the strength of the cultivators on Wu Zetian's side still exists, and the outcome of another battle is unknown.
Once the venture is damaged again, the consequences are unimaginable.
The opposition to Wei Siwen was led by Tang Zhiqi, and bluntly said that the morale of the soldiers was available.
If you can't take Luoyang in one go and force Wu Zetian back to Chang'an, how to explain to the whole army, how to explain to the people of the world, and how to explain to King Luling?
Li Xian was sitting on the top at this time, Xu Jingye was sitting on the side, a gentleman and a minister were speechless, and the civil and military groups in the hall were fighting.
I don't know if the two of them think that what they said makes sense and can't make up their minds.
Tang Ao was more inclined to Wei Siwen's judgment in his heart, at least in terms of his analysis of the cultivator, close to his thoughts.
Although Wu Zetian was hit hard, his strength was not damaged, whether it was the Great Master Cao Guanghui or Lin Yang, the two cultivators of the Transformation Stage, they were not easy to get along.
If there is no flower butterfly dance to secretly release water to crack the national color Tianxiang array, the outcome is unpredictable.
Although the Yangzhou army moved into Henan Province and occupied the Bianshui waterway and controlled the Grand Canal, it was blocked by Luoyang Jiancheng in the west and Li Xiaoyi's army in the east.
The north and south are all Wu Zhou army can mobilize the assembled soldiers and horses, once the slightest difference is the result of the enemy on all sides, it is best to fight steadily and slowly.
Tang Ao's figure appeared from the corner door, and as he walked into the hall, the quarrel stopped, and everyone's eyes focused on him.
There are undisguised emotions such as adoration, gratitude, and envy in the eyes.
A cold color flashed in Xu Jingye's eyes, but he concealed it very well.
After giving Tang Zhiqi a look, he got up and said, "Lord Tang, have all the injuries healed?" Why not take a few more days off. ”
Without waiting for Tang Ao to answer, Li Xian, who was sitting in the first place, stood up and crossed the crowd to Tang Ao.
Holding Tang Ao's hand with both hands, he choked up and said, "Tang Ao, are you healed?" Are there any aftermaths? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Ao from one glance to the next, and the concern in his eyes was overflowing.
Li Xian's move suddenly made Tang Ao unique in the Yangzhou army.
Everyone present is a minister from Long Kuangfu, but which one can make Li Xian treat him like this?
Even Xu Jingye, who was the first to raise an uprising, couldn't do it.
The flesh on Xu Jingye's cheeks twitched a few times, got up and walked to Tang Ao's side, patted Tang Ao's shoulder and said, "Lord Tang, come and sit down, I can't make up my mind about major events in the army, and I am lacking Lord Tang's clever strategy!" ”
Tang Ao nodded at Li Xian, and sat on Li Xian's left side under Xu Jingye's enthusiastic pull.
At this time, advocating the ancient style and respecting the left, Tang Ao was familiar with etiquette, how could he sit down, and insisted that Xu Jingye sit on the left.
And he didn't sit down, standing like Luo Bingwang and the others, but he was a stone's throw away from Li Xian and seemed closer.
Li Xian stabilized his mood and nodded heavily at Tang Ao.
He couldn't forget the scene he saw the moment he got out of Luoyang City, Tang Ao was covered in blood and fell on his back.
The two of them are more like brothers and sisters except for the monarch and ministers, especially from the mouths of other civil and military personnel in the Yangzhou Army, I learned that Tang Ao's dedication to the Yangzhou Army was, in the final analysis, not for him to support his status and restore Li Tang Jiangshan!
Xu Jingye felt a little relieved about Tang Ao's behavior, and asked, "What does Lord Tang think of the current situation?" Is our army driving straight into Luoyang, or is it accumulating strength and slowly trying to do it? ”
Tang Ao groaned, and didn't say until Li Xian's inquiring eyes: "Tang thinks that Wei Junshi's idea is better, but it's not a secret, this time Tang took many cultivators to break the national color Tianxiang Array, but in fact, he didn't have the upper hand, the strength of the cultivators on the side of the Wu Zhou Army is still there, if you don't care about coming to rob the camp and fight, not to mention that the Yangzhou Army only has these forces now, even if it is tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is the result of being wiped out in an instant." ”
Tang Ao has never been able to lie in the vernacular, and when he said this, everyone in the hall, including Li Xian, changed color.
In particular, Li Xian had seen the cultivator's magic power up close, and it could be said that moving mountains and seas and tearing the heavens and the earth apart was by no means something that mortals could deal with.
Xu Jingye didn't expect Tang Ao to say this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said vaguely: "Lord Tang thinks it's better to fight steadily?" Then how to guard against the cultivators of the Wu Zhou Army? Cultivators can all come and go, and they can't be guarded against! ”
Tang Zhiqi echoed: "What the British Gong said is right, there is a humane wolf smoke method with black teeth in the front, and there are cultivators in the back, these can barely be regarded as dignified, but if the cultivators use conspiracies and tricks, such as assassinating the king and killing the driver, and plotting against the Wenchen generals of the Yangzhou army, what should it be?" ”
As Xu Jingye and Tang Zhiqi mentioned this, everyone else was also worried.
In the past, it was a myth and legend to only be a cultivator, and although I was in awe, I felt that I couldn't fight with my own eight poles.
Now that cultivators are alive in front of them, ordinary people are too fragile compared to cultivators, who is not afraid?
Luo Bingwang frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that it was inappropriate to set off such a topic in the Yangzhou army.
Because not only did the Wu Zhou army have cultivators, but also the Yangzhou army.
If there is a fear of cultivators or even a sense of centrifugation, where will Tang Ao be?
Tang Ao had traveled in the Mirror Flower World for a long time, and he knew very well how mortals felt about cultivators.
It is human nature to be afraid and afraid, but I didn't take it to heart, and patiently explained: "You don't know, my Datang World Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is lacking, and it is not enough to support the fighting methods of high-level cultivators, even if it is a fight between the Yuan Infant Stage, it may cause the void to shatter, at least it will be sucked into the void turbulence, and at worst it will be lost and fallen, as for the fighting methods of cultivators below the Jindan stage, the destructive power is limited and it is not enough to be afraid......
Tang Ao also explained to everyone the division of ranks among cultivators, trying to eliminate the fear of cultivators from all over the Yangzhou army.
It was even revealed that he would teach the method of condensing qi and blood in the army, as long as the strength of more than 1,000 troops relied on the military array, it could offset the magic powers of cultivators below the Jindan stage and so on.
Xu Jingye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took the initiative to divert the topic and said: "This matter is up to Lord Tang to bother, whether to advance or not to postpone for a while and then decide, there is still a major matter for the government to discuss with you, that is, to restore the heir of the holy year, to restore the righteousness of Li Tang, do you think so?" ”
Li Xian's proposed era name was Heisheng, and it was only drafted and not promulgated throughout the country, and he was demoted to the king of Luling by Wu Zetian in less than two months.
But most of the people present were from Chang'an Jingguan, and they all knew the era name that Li Xian had drafted, and Xu Jingye echoed and agreed with this remark.
Tang Ao is happy to see this, one of his wishes is to repay Li Xian for saving his life, and helping Li Xian get rid of Wu Zetian's control and house arrest is only one aspect.
It is even more important to restore Li Xian's identity as the emperor of Li Tang and the emperor.
When it comes to restoring the throne of the era name, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Li Xian was re-ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor by King Luling, no matter what the future prospects are, all kinds of official positions must follow the precedent.
There is a saying that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and around the appointment of these official positions, everyone naturally started another war of words.
Although Li Xian was supported by the Yangzhou army, he did not have much say in the appointment of officials, because he did not know much about the Yangzhou army.
First, the official position needs to be extensively discussed and discussed by the Yangzhou army.
The positions of military generals are mainly Cheng Wuting and Xue Ne, and the two of them each receive a section and don't care about the lack of positions.
Only in the selection of the head of the Wenchen there was a difficult birth, and the focus was on who would be the real prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Because Taizong Li Shimin once served as Shangshu Ling, the position of Shangshu Ling has been vacant since the Taizong Dynasty in order to avoid secrecy, and Zhongshu Ling, which is known as the signing power of the prime minister, has become the head of Wenchen.
Xu Jingye inherited the title of Duke of England, self-proclaimed general of Kuangfu Mansion, and governor of Yangzhou, in fact, these official positions look glamorous and sound like, but compared with the Zhongshu Order, there is undoubtedly a lot less gold content.
Therefore, when Xu Jingye welcomed back Li Xian, he set his sights on this high-ranking and powerful prime minister.
But after all, he is a face-bearing person, and he can't recommend himself with a wave of his hand, causing a big joke that makes the world cold!
There are not a few people who share Xu Jingye's heart, and the most typical one is Wei Siwen.
Don't look at him and Xu Jingye in some aspects, but he strongly supports Xu Jingye in this matter, in addition to him, there are Tang Zhiqi, Du Qiuren, younger brother Xu Jingzhen and others.
There are people who support it, and there are naturally people who oppose it, Luo Bin Wang, Wang Bo, Liu Tingsi and other civil officials, and Xue Chang, Li Chongfu and other military generals elected Tang Ao to serve as the Zhongshu Order.
Just because Tang Ao is the courage of the Yangzhou Army, he has repeatedly saved the Yangzhou Army from fire and water, and he can be promoted to this position with his merits.
As a cultivator, Tang Ao did not seek fame and profit, but threw away his pure blood and was willing to repay Li Xian's kindness, and fulfilled the friendship between Taiping and Li Xian's brother and sister.
Hearing that Luo Binwang, Tang Zhiqi and others gradually put guns and sticks in their words, their brows couldn't help frowning.
When he wanted to get up and speak, Li Xian, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Everyone, Aiqing, don't quarrel anymore, Tang Ao and the British Duke both have the talent to kill and assist, and they are thanks to the Tang Sheji, and I have made a decision in my heart, and I have ordered the British Duke to be the Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Order, write the political affairs hall, and Tang Ao will serve the Zhongshu ...... for the subordinate provinces."
When Xu Jingye heard this, his face was a little overjoyed.
Although Zhongshu Ling and Menxia Provincial Servants are both in the position of Zaifu, he received the pen, and he can set up the political affairs hall in Zhongshu Province, which is a little heavier than Tang Ao's power.
It seems that he is above 10,000 people under one person, and it is not in vain that he abandoned his family and business to raise troops in Yangzhou to restore Li Xian's throne, which can be regarded as getting his due reward.
