Chapter 314: Changes in Liangzhou
On the second day, Gao Yue had just opened his eyes, Fang sat up from the couch, yawned, and when he was about to wake up and was ignorant and lazy, Zhou Panlong's low, somewhat anxious voice sounded outside the tent. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is the lord awake? The minister has important things to report. ”
"Hmm. Panlong, come in and tell me something. ”
Gao Yue stood up, poured a cup of warm water, and rinsed his mouth first, so as to lift his spirit and sober up. As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhou Panlong's body hurriedly walked in.
"Lord, at the fifth watch today, someone suddenly came from Liangzhou, and he was in a hurry to report to the lord, and there was chaos in Liangzhou."
Gao Yue was gulping down water, and couldn't help but stop and sigh, quite surprised: "Liangzhou? Reporting to the widow? If there is a rebellion, it has its own master, when will the affairs of Liangzhou also be under the jurisdiction of the widow? ”
Zhou Panlong said in a low voice: "It's actually an army that came, but there were only six or seven hundred people. Hu Envoy Jun was afraid that it would disturb our army, so he first asked them to camp two miles away, and let the dozen or so people who led the team come to see the lord. After the minister asked about his identity, he felt that the matter was important, so he hurriedly came to report to the lord - the person who was the leader turned out to be Zhang Jun, the son of Xiping! ”
Gao Yue was taken aback, and his hand that wanted to take another drink couldn't help but freeze in mid-air, almost unable to believe his ears: "What did you say!" Prince of Xiping? ”
Zhou Panlong's complexion began to become mysterious, and he responded: "Yes!" The minister was also extremely surprised, but after the inquest, there was no impersonation, and there was Longxi County to corroborate Qiu Yang's performance. In addition, the general of Liangzhou, the king of Liangzhou, also stayed with the prince of Xiping every inch. When General Wang was in Chang'an in the past, he and his ministers got along for a lot of time, and they knew each other, and the ministers would never mistake him. ”
Gao Yue was still staring at him in a daze, obviously not yet reacting. Zhou Panlong continued: "The minister looked at them and his party, although he didn't know the purpose, and tried his best to pretend to be calm, but if he looked closely, he could still see the anxious and anxious looks, and the minister felt that there was really something big in Guzang City. ”
I can't guess and go, but I still need to invite the main owner to know the reason. Suddenly, a young man stepped in, took a few steps, turned to a trot, and fell to his knees with a pop when he came near.
"Nephew Zhang Jun, meet Duke Qin!"
Gao Yue saw that Zhang Jun, with a fair face, clear eyebrows, and an image that was no different from that of the children of the wealthy family, so he responded: "The prince suddenly came to see the widow, what is the matter?" In addition, he is called a nephew, but how can he be called a minister? As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, letting Zhang Jun get up first before speaking.
Zhang Jun didn't get up, and nodded respectfully on the ground: "Before Duke Qin drove, he was called a nephew, and he needed to be called a minister." ”
Gao Yue didn't know why he had to be obsessed with this title distinction for a while, so he turned to inquire: "Xiping Gong hasn't seen him for a long time, is he as healthy as ever?" Please get up and sit down, and you don't need to be so polite. ”
Zhang Jun still refused to get up, and after kowtowing again, his mood suddenly collapsed, he couldn't support it anymore, and cried loudly.
"The first prince has passed away!"
The word "Toutou Xiangong" shocked Gao Yue like half a piece of wood, and he didn't know what to say for a while. However, this was said by his son Zhang Jun himself, so it is at least certain that the overlord of Hexi, Liangzhou Mu, and Zhang Yu, the prince of Xiping County, are really dead. But even if Zhang Wei dies and reports the funeral obituary, there is absolutely no way for the prince and the prince to come in person, which is not in line with the etiquette system at all. Gao Yue instantly felt that the things in front of him were full of unspeakable confusion and even treachery.
At that moment, Gao Yue couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "What! Xiping Gong turned out to be ......! Although the widow was separated from him for several years, he was regarded as very healthy at the time, and in the past few years, he often asked him and learned that he was fine. The last time he wrote a letter, only twenty days ago, was the widow congratulating him on his fiftieth birthday, did he just get some terrible violent illness by chance? ”
Zhang Jun cried more and more, but gritted his teeth and said: "The ancestor has always been in good health, where is there any violent illness!" He was killed by a thief, and the mastermind behind the scenes was my traitorous uncle Zhang Mao! ”
Wave after wave of shock made Gao Yue stunned and almost out of shape. So Zhang Jun poured out his thoughts and said in detail that he knew Gao Yue.
It turned out that in Tianti Mountain in Liangzhou, there was a scattered Taoist named Liu Hong, who confused the world in the name of preaching and prolonging life, and secretly attracted believers. He was in Guzang City, and also began to become the guest of honor of dignitaries, and later even the lord Zhang Wei knew that there was such a person as Liu Hong, but he thought that he was a folk Taoist priest, and preaching was also full of self-cultivation, so he did not suppress and punish him. But as soon as Liu Hong had a wide range of contacts, he began to be pretentious, secretly breeding a treacherous heart, taking Zhang Jiao as a model in the late Han Dynasty, and he wanted to be the lord of Liangzhou.
This matter was known to Zhang Mao, Zhang Yu's brother. Zhang Mao has always shown a humble gentleman on weekdays, with a generous nature, and has won a lot of praise from the government and the opposition. But in fact, a few years ago, Zhang Mao began to have different intentions, coveting the position of the lord of Liangzhou, and had already secretly planned and planned, but he couldn't succeed because of the lack of hope. But Zhang Mao can hold it down, and he can hide himself deeply without revealing his face.
After learning that Liu Mao was acting flamboyantly, Zhang Mao's heart moved, so he wanted to use the stupid Liu Hong to reap the benefits of the fisherman. He never came forward himself, but instructed his loyal relatives to begin to secretly befriend Liu Hong, pretending to be a wealthy businessman, subsidizing a large amount of money and grain, and bewitching Liu Hong to do illegal things quickly. There were also loyal people who felt uneasy and advised Zhang Yu that Liu Hong and others should be expelled immediately, but Zhang Yu did not take it to heart, and the situation eventually collapsed.
Half a month ago, Zhang Yu's fiftieth birthday, which was the top priority for Guzang City and even the entire Liangzhou, so the government and the opposition celebrated. In order not to spoil the warm atmosphere, the defense of the pastoral government was relaxed. Zhang Mao secretly sent people to urge Liu Hong and others to take this opportunity to quickly implement big things. After the banquet, Zhang Yu returned to the inner room, but Zhang Mao came in and reported the news of Liu Hong's intention to rebel in person, and strongly requested that Liu Hong be killed immediately.
Zhang Mao was slightly drunk, very angry when he heard this, and at the same time praised Zhang Mao's loyalty, and agreed to his request without thinking, Zhang Mao ordered Shi Chu, the state lord who guarded the palace, to lead the garrison to arrest Liu Hong in the name of Zhang Yu. Shi Chu didn't know about it, so he was ordered. Over there, Liu Hong got a secret report from Zhang Mao, and knew that the defense of the dormitory was thin at the moment, so he led the party members to rush in, and he really killed Zhang Wei with a knife, and died at the age of fifty.
Zhang Mao immediately made a difficulty, transferred the pro-guards that had been prepared for a long time, and was the yellow bird behind him, violently encircled and suppressed Liu Hong, and took down all the thieves in three times and divided by two, and publicly cracked the car in Guzang City, and then issued an obituary, and began to preside over the funeral in the name of the deputy assassin. From a public level, Zhang Wei, the lord of Liangzhou for many years, was stabbed to death, and the government and the opposition were all shocked, and they were all at a loss, which made people's hearts panic all day. Thanks to Zhang Mao, he stepped forward, hunted and killed the rebels, appeased the people's hearts, and kept the situation in Liangzhou from being turbulent, so the people's hearts gathered on Zhang Mao for a while.
Liang Governor Shi Songpei, Zuo Sima Yinyuan and other ministers of the central court, thought that the son Zhang Jun was young, so he recommended Zhang Mao to officially succeed to the throne, Zhang Mao finally had to be the Liangzhou Assassin Shi, Xiping Gong, amnesty in the territory, quietly transferred Zhang Jun to the general of the Fu Army.
Originally, Zhang Mao also planned seamlessly, removing his brother and seizing the throne. But if people don't know what to do unless they do it, rumors slowly began to spread that Zhang Yu's death was not so simple, and the water behind it was very deep. The son Zhang Jun, although he was only thirteen years old, but he was suddenly in mourning, but he was able to calm down, think carefully, and feel that the rumors were not groundless, and sent his powerful retainers to spy on him, after how much effort and thrilling, he successfully won over a certain Zhang Mao's subordinate who had participated in the incident, so he got the terrible truth, the death of the ancestor Zhang Yu, and it was indeed Zhang Mao who planned the murder!
Zhang Jun thundered like thunder, and once he just wanted to fight with the thief. But at this time, the government and the opposition, both civil and military, were already loyal to Zhang Mao, and the situation had already stabilized. He himself is weak, and he is surrounded by dangers, so he may have to worry about his life, so he has to endure it.
Zhang Mao secretly contacted a few civil and military officers who were loyal to Zhang Yu and willing to be loyal to the prince, such as Wang Cai, the leader of the central army, Xin Tao, and others. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mao secretly wanted to get rid of Zhang Jun for a long time, but he just slowed it down and talked about it when this period of wind passed. When Zhang Jun was about to take action, the incident was known to Zhang Mao, so Zhang Mao just found an excuse and issued an edict to publicly reprimand Wang Gai, Xin Tao and others for bewitching the public, inducing young nephews, sowing discord and wanting to do illegal things, and sending soldiers to encircle and suppress.
After a short connection, Xin Tao was arrested and killed, and the king should desperately protect Zhang Mao to escape from Guzang City, how could Zhang Mao let go of such a good opportunity that would not be able to settle down and get rid of the trouble of his henchmen, so he ordered Tian Qi, the general of the extermination, to chase after him with 5,000 tails, and he wanted to put his nephew to death. Zhang Jun's troops died in battle one after another, leaving only more than 1,000 wounded soldiers in the battalion, and they couldn't help but be discouraged, and they didn't want to fall into the hands of Zhang Mao, so they wanted to draw their swords and kill themselves. Wang should hurriedly stop it, and proposed to simply go east to Xiangwu, crying to Qin Gong Gao Yue for help, maybe he can take revenge. So he fled all the way to the death and frightened, and lost how many loyal and courageous old departments, Wang should always protect the safety of the young master, and finally fled into the territory of Longxi, Qinzhou.
Qiu Yang, the general of Longxi County, was very shocked when he saw that the prince of Liangzhou suddenly came in such an embarrassment. But although Zhang Jun was young and his tone was very tight, he was easily reluctant to tell him specifically, but said that there was a big matter that required him to see Qin Gong himself. Qiu Yang then flew to Xiangwu, according to the report, while waiting for the battle, Shen Ling chased Tian Qi, who was wandering on the border of Liangqin and Qin, and was not allowed to enter without reason, and then selected elite soldiers to escort him, and sent Zhang Jun and his party away with a fast horse gift. After arriving in Xiangwu, he heard that Gao Yue was going east to Yongzhou, Zhang Jun went straight to Liquan, and finally saw Gao Yue himself, Zhang Jun could no longer support it, crying and begging, and he was bloody.
