Chapter 115: Guanzhong Chaos [1]

When Fu Daozhao heard this, he explained with a smile: "This emperor is really young and vigorous, and the Tang Dynasty has now become the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he is still trying to revive the Tang Dynasty." You see that in the past few years, Li Keyong was defeated. Now they are trying to restore the power of Guanzhong. So who do you say is the first to bear the brunt? ”

When Li Maozhen heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said, "There is no mistake! Now if the emperor wants to revive the Tang royal family, then he has to control Tongguan. Controlling Tongguan can not only control the road to the Central Plains in Guanzhong, but more importantly, it can increase taxes, you must know that Han Jian can rebuild Huazhou, which was destroyed by Huangchao, all rely on Tongguan to collect tariffs, and draw a part of the tribute to the imperial court, otherwise he Han Jian has the capital to rebuild Huazhou! ”

Fu Daozhao said with a smile: "So I said, how could Han Jian watch that emperor Xiao'er take away the foundation he had worked so hard to build. ”

Li Maozhen nodded vigorously and said, "Zhao'er is still smart!" In this way, let's do what Zhao'er said! ”

In the second year of Qianning, in June, Li Maozhen united Wang Xingyu and Han Jian, and joined the soldiers and horses of the three towns to march into Chang'an.

On the side of the Qing monarch, this name seems to have become the primary name of all the warlords who committed the following crimes. From Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to the seven vassal kings in the name of the 'Qing Jun Side', to the most famous An Lushan who recently subverted the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, they all rebelled in the name of the Qing Jun Side.

And the same is true of Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu and Han Jian, Han Jian sent troops from the east, Wang Xingyu sent troops from the north, and Li Maozhen sent troops from the west. The number of troops sent by the three families is small, but they are all elite soldiers, and they are all tooth soldiers around them.

When the news reached Chang'an, Chang'an was immediately in chaos, and Tang Zhaozong was also afraid. He hurriedly sent people to find important ministers Wei Zhaodu, Li Ning, Cui Yin, Cui Zhaowei and others to discuss.

When Wei Zhaodu, Li Ying and the others came, they didn't need Tang Zhaozong to ask, they also knew what was going on. There is no need for Tang Zhaozong to ask, Xiangguo Wei Zhaodu has already spoken. "Your Majesty, now that the country is suffering from disaster, the only way to call the princes of the world is to enter the customs to suppress the rebellion!"

Cui Yin, who is also Xiangguo, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! ”

"What is Aiqing's opinion?" Now Tang Zhaozong was already panicked, and he couldn't care about the majesty of the heavenly family, and looked at Cui Yin with a pleading face.

Cui Yin opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, how many soldiers and horses are there in Chang'an City now?" It's just 20,000 Shence troops who have just enlisted in the army for half a year! How can this resist the soldiers of the three towns and wait for the support of the princes of the world? As far as I can see, the envoys of the three festivals are just plotting some gold and silver treasures. Your Majesty can slowly appease the three families, slowly figure it out, and wait for the training of the Shence Army to be completed, which is the time for Your Majesty to prosper! ”

Cui Yin's words were full of incitement, and Tang Zhaozong couldn't help but be excited when he heard it.

However, Wei Zhaodu, another Xiangguo, didn't see it that way, he snorted coldly, and said in a tone full of sarcasm: "Cui Xiangguo said it easily, how to appease the envoys of the three families?" Could it be the official position of Shang Shuling? ”

Shang Shuling was an official position held by Tang Taizong before he ascended the throne, and because of this, no one dared to hold the position of Shang Shuling since the time of Tang Taizong. To this end, the position of left and right servants was added under the Shangshu Order, and the power of the Shangshu Order was exercised in place of the Shangshu Order. Therefore, as Shang Shuling, there is also a hint that the other party wants to be the emperor.

And the reason why Wei Zhaodu said this was not because he was angry and unconsciously said it, because not long ago, Wang Xingyu sent someone to ask for the position of Shang Shuling, and Tang Zhaozong convened all the ministers to discuss. At that time, Wei Zhaodu said: "At the beginning, Taizong ascended the throne, and no courtiers held this position again. At the beginning, Guo (Ziyi) made such a great contribution to the public government to pacify the Anshi Rebellion, and the imperial court awarded Guo Ling the post of Shangshu Ling. Guo Linggong firmly did not accept it, let alone Wang Xingyu? ”

Prime Minister Li Ying also strongly supported Wei Zhaodu, so Tang Zhaozong renamed Wang Xingyu as Shang's father.

Hearing this, Tang Zhaozong's originally excited face immediately became panicked, Tang Zhaozong was a young man with achievements. He did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, and at the same time, he did not covet women and pleasures. His greatest wish is to rejuvenate Datang, and what he fears most is that Datang will end in his hands. So as soon as he heard Wei Zhaodu's suggestive words, his heart immediately became very frightened and contradictory.

"Your Majesty! Cannot! Prime Minister Cui Zhaowei hurriedly took a step forward, knelt down on his knees, touched his head to the ground, and said with a frightened face. Your Majesty, how can you fight against Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu and other wolves and tigers, I am afraid that in the end, it will lead to the situation of Cao Ying in the late Han Dynasty! Take a step back and open the sky, be patient, appease the three towns first, and then slowly figure out the best policy! ”

Cui Yin also spoke: "Your Majesty! As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood! Your Majesty think twice! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't compromise! Wang Xingyu and others are the position of Shang Shuling! Your Majesty think twice! Wei Zhao and Li Yan also knelt down on their knees, touching their heads to the ground, their voices full of sincerity and pleading.

"Let me think about it!" Tang Zhaozong's face was full of contradictions and pain, his hands pressed on both sides of his head, and the rhythm was a little messy to massage his temples.

Wei Zhaodu and Cui Zhaowei and others had no choice, and these powerful ministers had no choice but to retreat.

After everyone had retired, Tang Zhaozong took a long breath and muttered to Zhang Tai, who was waiting for him, "Little Zhangzi, what do you say I should do?" ”

Although Zhang Tai was called Xiao Zhang Zi by Tang Zhaozong, he is not small at all, he is already fifty and three, he has entered the palace since the era of Tang Yizong, counting the generation of Tang Zhaozong, Zhang Tai has served the three generations of the Tang Dynasty. However, he was not as arrogant as other eunuchs, and he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so he was also one of the few eunuchs that Tang Zhaozong could trust in the palace.

Zhang Tai lowered his head and said: "The only thing a slave can do is to do things for His Majesty, and the slave does not dare to discuss political affairs." ”

Tang Zhaozong said helplessly: "Little Zhangzi, say it!" I trust you! ”

Zhang Tai pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what Wei (Zhaodu) Xiangguo said just now was too bookish. ”

Tang Zhaozong frowned, and said, "Then according to you, I should follow Cui Aiqing's advice?" ”

"Definitely!" Zhang Tai shook his head and said, "Cui Yin secretly communicates with Xuanwu Zhu Wen, and Cui Zhaowei secretly communicates with Wang Xingyu of Pizhou, and His Majesty does not know this. ”

"But the two of them are important ministers of the country!" Tang Zhaozong still trusts the two of them.

When Zhang Tai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he knew that Tang Zhaozong was still very vigilant about eunuchs, and it was difficult to persuade him, so he could only return to the topic and say: "......"
