Tianbao's fifth year is destined to be an unquiet year. First of all, it was reported in the first month that the prince's brother-in-law, Wei Jian, the secretary of the criminal department, and the two towns of Longyou and Hexi conspired with Huangfu Weiming to make trouble, and then involved the crown prince Li Heng and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the government and the opposition. Just when people were panicking and thought that the "Sanshuren" case was going to be repeated ten years ago, with the demotion of the two main people in the case, Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, they suddenly calmed down. The crown prince Li Heng still sits firmly in the position of the prince, although the left minister Li Shizhi took the initiative to resign from the phase, but instead added the second rank of the prince to the idle position, although the real power is gone, but nominally he has been promoted. It can be seen that the two have not been affected much.

However, just when the government and the opposition thought that everything was going on as usual, with the entry of Wang Zhonghe, the third person in the East Palace Party, the third person of the East Palace Party, the three twists and turns of Wang Zhonghe, the court and the opposition suddenly became turbulent.

Wang Zhongsi, the first general of the Tang Dynasty. His father, Wang Haibin, was known for his bravery and died in the defense of Songzhou in Tibet. The young Wang Zhonghei was accepted as a fake son by Tang Xuanzong and raised in the palace. Because he often played with King Chung Lee Hyung, he was recognized as a strong figure in the East Palace Party by both the government and the opposition.

In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Wang Zhongsi went out with Xiao Song, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and attacked Tubo with 300 light cavalry in the Battle of Yuchuan, killing thousands of enemies, so that Tubo Zanpu fled in a hurry. Later, he succeeded the prince's nephew as the envoy of the Longyou Festival. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, he led 100,000 cavalry to the north of Yanmen, fought three battles and won three victories in the Sanggan River, and the Xi and Khitan coalition forces were annihilated. In the early years of Tianbao, he defeated the Turkic Yehu tribe and took the head of Usumish Khan to Chang'an. Tianbao has been five years, and Wang Zhonghe, who is now forty years old, is already the first famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

In the first month of this year, after Huangfu Weiming, the envoy of the two towns of Longyou and Hexi, was demoted, Wang Zhonghe, who was already the envoy of the festival of Shuofang and Hedong towns, served as the envoy of Hexi and Longyou. At this time, Wang Zhongsi wore four kinds of general seals, controlled thousands of miles, and the strong soldiers were all under his control, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a thing.

Among these three compromises, the first is: "Tianbao has been fighting with Tubo for five years, leading the Longyou Army to fight in Qinghai, Moishi and other places. Three battles and three victories. ”

It turned out that in the first month of this year, Wang Zhonghei concurrently served as the envoy of the two towns of Longyou and Hexi for half a month, and immediately led the Longyou army to fight with Tubo in Qinghai and Moishi, and won a complete victory in all three battles. Tubo Zanpu, the husband of Princess Jincheng, Chizu Dezan, asked for peace.

The first piece of music was transmitted to Chang'an, and the whole city was surprised. In fact, Wang Zhongsi's old opponent, the former Longyou Jiedu envoy Huangfu Weiming, who was also the pillar of the Donggong Party, failed in the battle of Shibao City last year. And Tubo Zampu therefore showed off his might and spoke wildly. As a result, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, whether it is officials, soldiers or civilians, they are all indignant, and they do not want to take revenge all the time.

This is also after Huangfu Weiming was demoted, many people shouted for Wei Jian, the secretary of the criminal department who repaired the canal, but not many people paid attention to the question of Huangfu Weiming's life and death. After all, ordinary people are simple-minded and narrow-minded. They only knew that the prestige of the towering Tang Dynasty was tarnished in the hands of Huangfu Weiming, and they only remembered that Huangfu Weiming brought shame to Datang. But he forgot that Huangfu Weiming was also a famous general who had repeatedly made military exploits with Tubo, which had to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Therefore, when Wang Zhonghe's great victory over Tubo entered Beijing, both the government and the opposition and the government and the people felt angry. After hearing the news, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who had not been in court for a month, immediately conferred on Wang Zhonghei the official title of a few years old son Cong Wupin. And asked the minister to draw up a charter to reward Wang Zhonghei and the generals and sergeants of Longyou Jiedu Military Town.

However, Wang Zhongsi is not only a rare envoy of the Four Towns since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but also has an extremely valuable official position from the Sanpin Imperial Doctor. The forty-year-old envoy of the Four Towns Festival, from the third-grade high-ranking official, and then up to the third-grade official rank. You must know that it is extremely rare for Datang to be from the fourth order to the second grade. In today's court, there are only a handful of first and second grades, except for the false titles received by those princes, the highest official position is Li Linfu, who is now in power.

Li Linfu's current title is from the first rank of Jin Guogong, the rank of loose official is from the second rank of Guanglu doctor, and the ministry official is from the second rank of Shangshu left servant shot and the third rank of the right phase (that is, the Zhongshu Order). But because of the Tang Dynasty officials, their ranks and treatments, except for the royal family, are all determined according to the rank of loose officials. So in fact, Li Linfu is only from the second-rank official rank.

And the left minister Li Shizhi was only after resigning from the third rank of the left minister (that is, the servant) to the second rank of the prince Shaobao, Guanglu doctor. Even if he had already been a duke from Erpin Qinghe County before. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the royal family and powerful ministers like Li Linfu, if you want to mix above the third grade, you basically have to achieve the position of Li Shizhi and then wait until you resign and retire, or be posthumously gifted after death to get this official rank. The first and second grades of the Tang Dynasty are not the kind of first- and second-grade officials who walked around the streets in the later Manchu Dynasty, and a large number of super-grade officials were worthless. Therefore, in Datang, it is already up to the sky to be a three-grade minister.

But Wang Zhongsi is only forty years old, and in terms of real power, he is already the only envoy of the four towns since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the most important military towns in the imperial court are under his control. In terms of title, he has been from the second rank of Qingyuan County Duke; In terms of loose officials, he is already a doctor from the third grade silver Qingguanglu; The ministry officer also has an extremely noble part-time official like the third rank of the imperial historian. Therefore, how to award the reward is really a struggle for the relevant officials.

Just when the imperial court was still discussing how Wang Zhongsi would be rewarded, Wang Zhongsi made a big joke on these court officials.

He went on the second fold again: "In March of the fifth year of Tianbao, he led the Hexi army to conquer Tuguhun Yumo and left the army, and captured all of them and returned."

It turned out that not long after Wang Zhonghe's great victory over Tubo, in view of the fact that the last time Huangfu Weiming helped Tubo because of the Tuyuhun army, the Tang army was defeated under the attack of the two countries and returned. Wang Zhongsi led the army non-stop to crusade against the Tuyuhun tribe that had moved to the Moli army in Shazhou, and captured all the Tuyuhun tribes who moved here and returned. At this point, Tubo lost a big help.

When the second piece was sent to Chang'an again, the entire imperial capital was boiling. It is said that after Li Linfu and Li Xiangguo heard the news, their faces suddenly darkened. And the whole Chang'an was intoxicated with the joy of victory.

After all, this Tang God of War has brought them too many surprises. Not to mention the previous victories, in the past two years, they have also made brilliant achievements, and no one can match them.

In the third year of Tianbao, Wang Zhonghe, who was the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, was in turmoil in the Later Turkic Khanate. So he led the Shuofang army to take advantage of the chaos to attack, broke the Turkic Left Wing Apo Dagan and other eleven tribes, and together with the Hui and Qarluq, attacked and killed the Jiechuan Yishi Khan of the Baxi Secret Department.

Tianbao four years, Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. From Shuofang to Yunzhong, thousands of miles on the border, and at the critical points, castles were all placed, leading the Hedong army to expand the land for hundreds of miles. As a result, the Northern Saihu did not dare to invade south. The people on the border thought that they were generals since Zhang Renqing, but they were not as good as them.

Tianbao five years, that is, this year, after concurrently serving as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu and Hexi Jiedu, he first led the Longyou Army to win three victories over Tubo, and then led the Hexi Army to capture Tuyuhun in Shazhou.

In the past three years, he has also been the envoy of the four towns, and he has led the army there in each of the military towns of the festival and has made immortal achievements. As a result, the people were boiling, and many people were proud of it, and they called Wang Zhongsi a famous general like Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo during the Tang Taizong period, Li Ji, the Duke of the British Dynasty, and Su Dingfang, the Duke of Xingguo during the Tang Gaozong period, and Pei Xingjian, the Duke of Wenxi County.

And after the prime ministers of the imperial court and the political hall heard the news, they didn't care about such things as being young and having high official ranks, and it was difficult to be promoted. The efficiency of the government hall and the officials was surprisingly fast this time, and after drawing up the charter, Wang Zhongsi was awarded the rank of ministry from Sanpin Hongluqing.

From this, it can be seen how much the high-ranking officials and officials in the political hall and the imperial court are afraid of this. After all, although the Tang Dynasty is divided into civil and military positions, it is not as civil and military as the Song and Ming dynasties, and most of them will enter the court as prime ministers after reaching a certain level of qualifications and merits. The so-called "out of the general into the phase" is exactly this truth.

What's more, Wang Zhonghe's loose official has always been a civil official, that is, even if he has been engaged in the military for many years, his position has always been on the road of a civilian official. Forty-year-old Jiedu envoy, if he is allowed to come in as the prime minister, how can the government hall and the Manchu Dynasty be embarrassed? Therefore, it is necessary to press down his official rank.

But in fact, Li Linfu, who regarded Wang Zhonghei as a thorn in his side, waved his hand and smiled: "If you dare to reward it like this, I am afraid that the emperor will lose his temper there, and then all the princes will have to be blamed." So he was awarded the rank of Wen Dian official of the third grade Jin Ziguanglu doctor.

Li Linfu said so, and the political hall and the imperial court could only acquiesce to this. But after many people reacted, they sincerely praised Li Linfu in their hearts, "Gao Ming." ”

(Will definitely update one more chapter later, maybe two more chapters if there's time.) Above the court, it is about to start to be unpeaceful. ）
