"Several, we're going to be the imperial history of this edict soon, you guys are here to settle down, don't do anything bad." Zhang Chao said.

And Liu Renliang immediately asked: "Zhang Yushi, why did you go to Jingzhou to serve as this herald imperial history?" Can't you stay in Chang'an, why bother to go there and suffer? What's more, the edict of the imperial history is to go for a few months, and once it comes back for a few months, it will not help the situation in the imperial court. Zhang Yushi, why do you bother to do such a meaningless thing? ”

Liu Renliang thinks that he is still familiar with Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao has never done that kind of meaningless thing, but now Zhang Chao has really done something, and it doesn't seem to make any sense. However, Zhang Chao knew that Zhang Chao knew that he still had to go to Jingzhou this time. Because Zhang Chao was afraid that staying in Chang'an, there would be a possibility of harming the pond fish. In the next few months, if nothing else, a Xuanwumen Incident will break out in Chang'an, which will inevitably cause Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to mutiny, and most of the winners at that time will be Li Shimin. And Zhang Chao is afraid that Li Shimin will take the opportunity to do everything for himself, which is really dangerous. This mutiny will inevitably kill a lot of people, so Zhang Chao naturally didn't dare to stay here.

Of course, although Zhang Chao "claimed" to be a neutral, he was the person of Emperor Li Yuan. But Zhang Chao himself knows very well that his behavior is actually a legendary "wall-riding faction". Zhang Chao himself understands that he is a wall-riding faction, and the wall-riding faction is a wall-riding grass that looks at the direction of the wind, and where the wind blows, it will fall to that side. And Zhang Chao, as a political old fritter, can he not know the final result of the wall grass? Although wall grass seems to be very safe, wall grass is also very unsafe. Because once the two sides clash violently, those two sides will inevitably force those "wall grass" to make a choice, and they will inevitably join one side and make their own stand clear.

Of course, Zhang Chao, an old fritter, would not rush to join the party. So he can naturally hide, this is his thinking as an official in the officialdom. History has shown that this Xuanwumen coup tried a bloody coup, Zhang Chao would not stay in Chang'an City, the core of right and wrong, if Li Shimin took advantage of the Xuanwumen mutiny, took the opportunity to kill Zhang Chao together, and then charged with rebelling with Li Jiancheng, it would really have no good result. So Zhang Chao naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to stay in Chang'an. He chose to leave Chang'an to avoid this limelight and let himself escape this catastrophe.

Although Li Shimin may not take this opportunity to kill him, Zhang Chao is still very worried. Because he has cheated Li Shimin more than once in the past few years, although he was ordered by Li Yuan to do it, who knows if Li Shimin will hold a grudge? Although Zhang Chao knew that Li Shimin was a generous emperor in history, the measure was very large, so it was unlikely. But Zhang Chao understands a truth better, history is also a. Son, whoever has the money and the power can go and play. So Zhang Chao will not gamble with his life and bet on whether Li Shimin is really generous. Even if there is only a one-in-ten chance, that Zhang Chao will not gamble. After all, he is an official oilman who thinks, and he still has the legendary "stability overriding everything". Zhang Chao is not afraid of wasting time, anyway, he is still young, and the most is time. As long as you can do things well in the future, you are not afraid of no future.

Although Li Shimin will support the Hanmen against the Shi clan in the future, this support does not necessarily require him to be the leader. Zhang Chao didn't know if Li Shimin would hate him for having a certain conflict with him in the past few years. But Zhang Chao knew that Li Shimin would not lose anything if he killed him. Because although Zhang Chao is now the leader of low-level officials, he is actually not an irreplaceable person. Even if Zhang Chao is done, then Li Shimin can choose another poor person to be the leader of the cold family, and it will not be too much loss for Li Shimin.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't know that Zhang Chao was a traverser, and naturally he wouldn't know that Zhang Chao would do much more than he imagined. And Zhang Chao can't take the initiative to say that he is a traverser, let alone whether Li Shimin believes it or not. Even if Li Shimin believed it, then Li Shimin had to kill Zhang Chao, because Zhang Chao "knew too much". The traverser cannot take the initiative to identify himself to the indigenous emperor, because he does not believe it first, and once the other party believes it, the family is to ensure the safety of his throne. I'm going to kill you. So Zhang Chao won't do anything more, he decided that he couldn't afford to provoke me, so he took the initiative to avoid it. After the Xuanwu Gate change is completed, then he can already come back. At that time, it was impossible for Li Shimin to continue to pursue himself, but whether he was sincere or false, he had to make a generous appearance and accept himself.

"I went out to take shelter. During my absence, you must hold on. Even if there is any problem in the court, you should not stand in line casually. You must remember that we are a poor family, and whoever becomes the emperor must rely on us. If we rush to join the Dragon's Skill, then we will lose our independence and will become a dog controlled by the Emperor, who will have to bite people for the Emperor at any time. And although we are allied with the imperial power, we are not allied with the emperor, understand? We are for the imperial power, not the emperor, and you have to figure this out. Zhang Chao said.

Liu Renliang immediately said: "I understand! ”

Liu Renliang understood what Zhang Chao meant, that is, not to involve Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, because this Conglong Gong is tempting, but it represents that he is attached to a certain emperor. Once this emperor is not the emperor, or this emperor fails, then he will be unlucky. And although Zhang Chao wants to form an alliance with the imperial power, it does not mean that he wants to tie himself to a certain emperor, which is definitely not possible. Cooperation is cooperation, but it is not to sell yourself completely. If you sell it, you will definitely become someone else's dog, live without dignity, and will lose its usefulness with the death of its owner, and then be abandoned.

So although they were the emperor's courtiers, they were not minions. Why later emperors liked to use eunuchs was because eunuchs were slaves and could be controlled at will. However, Zhang Chao will not be a slave, and he will not be anyone's slave, even if the other party is the emperor. In Zhang Chao's heart, "I'd rather die if I'm not free" is not an empty phrase, so he won't choose to be someone else's slave.

"Alright, you guys are going to do your business here for the rest of the day. Don't get involved in any political battles. Especially in the recent battle for succession, you must be careful. Recently, I don't go anywhere except to go to work and then leave in the afternoon to stop working, and immediately return home as fast as possible. Then don't think about anything, just do things at two o'clock every day. Recently, if nothing else, Chang'an will not be too peaceful. So, I'm scared, I'm going to go out and hide. Zhang Chao said.

And Liu Renliang immediately asked: "What's uneasy recently?" Hasn't King Qin been cut off his wings? He's on the verge of losing. ”

"Do you think King Qin is the kind of person who is willing to live under people, or is he the kind of person who will admit defeat casually? Don't look at the prince's joy now, but once King Qin fights hard, then I don't know who wins and who loses? So. You can't look at things on the surface, if King Qin loses so easily, then he can't hold on until now. Zhang Chao said.

Liu Renliang immediately asked nervously: "You mean, this time King Qin is going to rebel?" ”

"You said this, I didn't say anything!" Zhang Chao said.

After Liu Renliang heard this, his face immediately turned green, and he said, "I'm now in Qianniuwei as an armor Cao to join the army, isn't it very dangerous for me?" ”

In the event of a coup d'état. The most likely place is the Imperial Palace. And Liu Renliang joined the army as the armor of Qianniuwei, so he naturally served in the palace. In the event of a coup d'état, it will be difficult for him to avoid it. Therefore, when Liu Renliang heard this, his face was also a little pale, because once he started fighting, the risk would be huge. Therefore, Liu Renliang wanted to ask Zhang Chao how to solve this matter.

"Then you hurry up and ask for leave. Ask for family leave, find a reason to ask for leave, and hide quickly! Hide for a few months, and then we'll come back. When the time comes, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. It doesn't matter if it's all fun, get it? We don't mix this matter anymore. Tell my subordinates that all those who serve in key positions, especially those in the palace, have given me a bright move, and everything must follow the rules recently, and don't do anything out of line. If it goes out of line, then don't blame me for not reminding them. As for the high-level leaders of our Reform Comrades Association, then you should consider asking for leave as soon as possible, and then leave Chang'an as far as you can! Zhang Chao said.

Liu Renliang immediately said: "We understand, I will go on family leave tomorrow, and we will not mix with the loss this time." ”

"Also, you must keep it confidential, and don't ask too many people for leave, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered." Zhang Chao said.

Soon, Zhang Chao also sent everyone away, and they discussed the next thing about how to face the changes in Xuanwumen, and what Zhang Chao had to do was to get a great deal back. Because he has long since stopped looking at the change of Xuanwu Gate, and Zhang Chao's eyes are already towards the Weishui Alliance of the change of Xuanwu Gate. Because the Weishui Alliance is the real fatal thing, the Xuanwumen Change and the Weishui Alliance are just a small thing.

In history, too many people have paid attention to the Xuanwumen Change, but Zhang Chao really paid attention to the Turkic invasion after the Xuanwumen Change, and then the Weishui Alliance that spent money to buy peace occurred. And the change of Xuanwumen is at most to make Datang hurt his muscles and bones, and maybe he can't even hurt his muscles and bones, at most it is just a "little cold". But the subsequent siege of Chang'an by the Turkic soldiers was a real crisis that could make the Tang Dynasty collapse.

At that time, the Turks took advantage of the chaos of the Tang Dynasty to seize power and chose to invade the Tang Dynasty, and they were close to destroying the Tang Dynasty in one step. But in the end, the Turkic Jieli Khan chose to agree with the Tang Dynasty to spend money to buy peace, so the Turks chose to retreat. However, the Turks did not end well, and they would only end up with a result of destruction.

From the perspective of the international trend, the Turkic invasion of the Tang Dynasty is an inevitable phenomenon, no matter who wins the Xuanwumen Change, the Turks will invade. This is actually because the Tang Dynasty is about to dominate the world, and the secession forces in the world are just a Liang Shidu, and this Liang Shidu is actually very easy to perish. Judging from the general trend of ancient Chinese history, it has always been the Central Plains civilization against the nomads. On the surface, it seems that the northern nomads often invade the Central Plains, and it seems that the Central Plains has been passively beaten for many years. But in fact, the Central Plains still has a very huge advantage. Judging from the situation of large-scale wars, the probability of victory of the Central Plains Dynasty is greater, and the Central Plains Dynasty has caused heavy losses to the northern nomads several times. The looting of the nomads is not enough to gain temporary wealth, but once the Central Plains Dynasty unifies the Northern Expedition, then they will be wiped out.

The relationship between this nomadic people and the Central Plains dynasty will not be ununderstood by the Turks. If you say that you don't want Datang to unify the whole country the most. That is, the Turks. The Turks hoped that the Central Plains would remain divided, so that the nomads could take the opportunity to recuperate, gain opportunities for development, and even benefit from the secession of the Central Plains. However, once the Central Plains is unified, the human, material and financial resources obtained by the Central Plains are not at all comparable to those of the nomads, and the nomads will turn from advantages to disadvantages.

Therefore, the Turks will inevitably take advantage of the Tang Dynasty to seize power. has not stabilized and taken the opportunity to invade when the time comes, so if the capital can be broken, it will really destroy the Tang Dynasty. Once the central part of the Tang Dynasty is wiped out by the Turks, then the local powerful factions will continue to compete for hegemony. Therefore, once the Turks break through Chang'an, the world may become chaotic again, which is a better choice for the Turks.

This is also an international trend, and China has actually had an international trend since ancient times, especially with the northern nomads. That's even more obvious. Once the Central Plains are unified, sooner or later the Central Plains will wipe out the northern nomads. However, the premise is that those guys don't be stupid and kill themselves by infighting. As long as the Central Plains itself does not fight among themselves, then no foreigner will have a chance to invade.

Zhang Chao understands this, Li Shimin understands this, and the Turks understand this even more. So, the Turks no matter what. They will all take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Central Plains, and it is best to set off a great chaos in the Central Plains again. In this way, they can continue to reap the benefits of the fishermen. This situation, in fact, was also referred to in later generations, during the period of the Republic of China, various warlords divided the territory, and then once someone could unify China, then the Western powers would come and intervene. History is always similar. It's just that this is the Tang Dynasty, and the intervening side is not the Western powers, but the Turkic nomads. Since they supported Liu Heimin back then, they have also been preventing the unification of the Central Plains.

No matter how the times change, for strategic changes between the internationals. That's pretty much the same. In fact, the strategic means of every politician are similar, and they will not have too many with the progress of the times. In fact, politicians' methods for enemy countries are nothing more than containment, war, suppression, and annihilation, but these means will be carried out in different ways depending on the times. It is possible to use the economy, it is possible to use the military, it is possible to use all kinds of intrigues. But in the final analysis, it's just the above ones. Later generations of Western powers could think of preventing the unification of China, and the Turks could think of it too. Therefore, the next invasion of the Turks is inevitable, and it will not come because of a change of emperor. It's just that this Xuanwumen change gave him a chance.

What Zhang Chao is thinking about is how to break the situation and crack the situation of this Turkic invasion. As long as the result of the Turkic capture of Chang'an can be cracked, Zhang Chao will be the first hero of the Tang Dynasty and a hero to save the Tang Dynasty. However, what Zhang Chao chose was to carry out it through the 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army under Luo Yi. Luo Yi's 80,000 Heavenly Festival Army was in a very embarrassing situation in the process of this Weishui Alliance, which made Zhang Chao very strange. Therefore, Zhang Chao thinks that Luo Yi should have chosen to betray the Tang Dynasty, but his soldiers may not. Luo Yi, as the main general, may deceive his subordinates, but most of those generals are still loyal to Datang. Or, they don't really look like a war anymore, they don't want to continue the troubled times, they want to live a peaceful life. Therefore, they will not choose to rebel with Luo Yi.

As long as he can solve the threat of Luo Yi through political means, and use the Tianjie Army to help Datang clean up those Turks, it means that he can become a hero to save Datang, and the benefits to Zhang Chao are very huge.

After sending off a few colleagues, Zhang Chao immediately took the initiative to enter the room. And Zhang Chao saw Du Yulu, who was teasing the child, and felt a little warm in his heart.

"Miss Yulu, thank you!" Zhang Chao said.

And Du Yulu asked, "Are you thanking me for giving birth to a child for you?" ”

"Sort of! However, I hope that in the future, you will not get involved in the conflict between me and the Shi clan, you can be a woman with peace of mind, and don't think too much about the responsibilities that do not belong to you! Zhang Chao said.

After Du Yulu listened, she nodded silently. Zhang Chao realized that he had made things a little complicated, although Du Yulu was a member of the Shi clan, she was even more of a woman, an ancient woman. Women in ancient times were always attached to their men. Their duty is to bear children for their husbands, and at most to strengthen the ties between the two families. And once a woman becomes a man's woman, then he won't have too many problems. This is the cause of ideological education in ancient times. In ancient times, women were ideologically dependent on their own men, and they would not have too many independent personalities. Even if Du Yulu is a scholar, she is first and foremost a woman, an ancient woman.

Zhang Chao originally treated him with the thinking of later women, which caused Zhang Chao to respect her personal personality while also treating her as a person with independent self-awareness. And in later generations, women can have their own unique thinking and independent thoughts. Especially those literate women will not easily choose to rely on their husbands, and most of them hope to create a career on their own. Zhang Chao used the thoughts of those female white-collar female officials in later generations to measure this Du Yulu, and used the thinking of a female politician to measure Du Yulu, which made Zhang Chao's thinking about Du Yulu very complicated. In fact, since the day she followed her, Du Yulu's heart has been seriously biased towards Zhang Chao, and everything is based on Zhang Chao's will. Unlike the later generations, those politician couples in the later generations, even after they get married, they all have their own political goals to think about themselves or their families, even if they are a couple, they must be on guard at any time. Zhang Chao regarded Du Yulu as the kind of female politician in later generations, which was naturally much worse.

"In the future, you can do whatever you want, but don't interfere with my decisions lightly. Don't do anything that betrays me, so we can live together well. As for the person who can be the person between me and the Du family, but I hope you are just an intermediary and don't have your own political thoughts, understand? Zhang Chao said.

Du Yulu nodded and said, "Okay, in the future, you and the Du family, I don't want to help." I'm just going to be my woman, and I don't care about your officialdom. What you said is right, as a woman, I don't care what I do, as long as I do my own identity and be the contact between you and the Du family. I'm a woman, marry a chicken and marry a dog, since the day I became your woman, then I have nothing to do with the past. Therefore, the matter between you and the Du family, I am just acting as a middleman. ”

Zhang Chao nodded and said, "Okay, it's good if you can understand it in the future, you don't have to think about it so much." In the future, we separate work and life, we are good partners at home, don't talk about work and politics, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" Du Yulu said.

Zhang Chao knew that it was impossible for Du Yulu to truly break off from the past. A person's bloodline cannot be separated, so Zhang Chao can only choose some special methods as much as possible, and never talk about work or politics at home, which is actually a method for many political families in later generations to protect their descendants. Try not to talk about politics at home, which can effectively protect family harmony and protect children, especially those families with political marriages. Children are innocent, and they should not be involved in the entanglement of interests between adults and husband and wife, lest they be difficult to do when they get to. At the very least, maintain a harmonious appearance in front of your child.

"I'll leave tomorrow and take good care of the kids at home." Zhang Chao said. (To be continued......)
