Chapter 10 (8)

This is a chaotic life.

This place is more than 100 miles away from Bianliang, and the young soldiers have to get tired and lie down most of them day and night, not to mention Guo Wei, Bai Wenke, and Chang Si, who are already over the age of sixteen! However, at this juncture, he can't contradict Guo Wei in public, so he has to first take orders loudly, and then quickly send someone to inform Chai Rong.

Fortunately, Chai Rong never lived up to his expectations. After catching up, in a few words, Guo Wei changed his mind. He ordered the army to turn around and head north, first go to the city to rest for one night, and then set out early tomorrow morning.

The soldiers and horses under the command of the three local princes of the palace, the forbidden army, the Cangzhou army, and the Fu, Gao, and Chang princes added up to more than 100,000, and they had no subordinate relationship with each other, and they did not make corresponding preparations in advance. It was very troublesome to settle, and it was busy until the second half of the night, when Zheng Ziming, Zhao Kuangyin, Gao Huaide and others finally got a chance to rest. The brother found an empty house casually and fell asleep. However, before they could sleep soundly, there was a sudden sound of a horn in their ears. However, it was officials from several nearby states and counties who heard that the emperor had personally recruited and specially came to "escort"!

"If you don't come early, you won't come late, I heard that Wang Jun was defeated, so I came immediately! This group of wall grasses is not afraid of turning too big and twisting their waists!" Gao Huaide got up angrily, patted the edge of the bed and scolded.

"They can't do anything, and with the emperor here, it won't be our turn to talk too much in the future!" Zhao Kuangyin has been trained in the position of Jiedu envoy in the past few years, and he has won the way of being an official. lest Zheng Ziming, instigated by Gao Huaide, would run out again to have a lot of trouble, so he hurriedly whispered to explain.

Zheng Ziming was not a mean person in the first place, and he never had much hope for the ethics of most officials in these years. So after listening to Zhao Kuangyin's words, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Second brother is right, we can't be as knowledgeable as this group of mediocre talents." The two of you continue to hurry up and sleep, and I will go and ask Pan Mei to arrange a random place for them outside the city, and wait for the emperor to deal with it tomorrow morning. Wang Jun and Wang Yin have already been arrested, and at this time, no matter who comes forward, the people outside can't afford to make any waves!"

After that, he ordered the guards who came to report the news to take their swords and go to Pan Mei, and leave everything to the latter to settle at will. He continued to sleep with his head covered until dawn the next day, and then went to see Guo Wei again, and then led the army to Bianliang according to the latter's instructions.

This time, according to the normal marching rules, the army took a break every 15 miles, a big break for 30 miles, and stopped and camped for 60 miles a day. It took two whole days to walk outside Bianliang City. Then it was the demarcation of the area and the separate garrison. It was again the elite who were reorganized to guard the palace in front of the palace, and it took half a month to finally declare calm.

During this period, the descendants of Wang Jun, Wang Yin, and Li Chongjin were all cleared from the army in front of the palace. Junior officers and non-commissioned officers were disarmed and returned to the field, and mid-ranking and senior officers, depending on the extent of their participation in the rebellion, were either thrown into prison or sent to the Northwest to guard against the various party departments. Except for a few or so guys who had too much blood on their hands and were decapitated, most of the rest survived.

Taiwei Wang Yin was bent on putting Guo Wei to death, and later advocated the killing of those who tried to give Chai Rong and Chang Si a messenger and their families, and there were too many sins, and there were too many enemies, and together with his younger brother Wang Gu, Guo Wei was given poisoned wine. Although the privy envoy Wang Jun was the mastermind of the entire palace forcing incident, he always insisted that he was not allowed to harm Guo Wei's life, and finally took the initiative to give up resistance, and there was no way to go to the dark. Therefore, Guo Wei also reciprocated the favor and rejected the proposal of Fu Yanqing and Bai Wenke, and did not sentence Wang Jun to death. It's just that Wang Jun himself, his younger brother, and his son were reduced to the people, and the whole family was demoted to Shangzhou. There is no pardon in this life, and you must not return to Bianliang!

Almost all those who participated in the "forced palace" did not end well. But there are three people who are exceptions. The first is the old general Bai Wenke, this person was originally Guo Wei's "secret son" who deliberately stayed outside, Wang Jun led the army out of Bianliang on the front foot, and this person secretly sent henchmen to establish contact with Chang Si on the back foot. Immediately, the two of them joined forces inside and outside, captured Wang Yin with lightning speed, and rescued Guo Wei. Therefore, this time to quell the rebellion, Bai Wenke's credit is naturally listed first. not only surpassed Fu Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou, who came to help from thousands of miles, but even left Chai Rong and Zheng Ziming far behind.

The second exception was a bit of a surprise. It was actually Han Chongyun's father, Han Pu! Originally, after leading the army to Bianliang, Zheng Ziming also planned to use his own merits to offset some of the sins of his good friend's father. Unexpectedly, when he inquired later, he found that Han Pu was actually the one who contributed the most on the night when his father-in-law Chang Si entered the city. With the wine pot in his hand, he poured all the descendants of the Wang family unconscious! Wang Yin completely became deaf and blind at the critical moment, and he couldn't even find anyone who reported the news!

Therefore, Han Pu didn't need anyone's help to atone for his sins at all, and with his own merits, he passed the test safely. and was promoted several levels in a row, and once again became a commander, and was ordered to work with their own son Han Chongyun to assist the veteran Bai Wenke and reorganize the Longwu Praetorian Guard. As for whether Han Pu had already caught Bai Wenke's line, or whether he saw the wind and steered the rudder and succeeded in decisive speculation, it is unknown. The court's reward proclamation did not go into detail, and Zheng Ziming was embarrassed to get to the bottom of it.

The last exception is Li Chongjin, who tried to spy on the position of the crown prince and was in cahoots with Wang Jun and Wang Yin. According to the ideas of Zheng Ziming, Zhao Kuangyin, and Gao Huaide, even if Li Chongjin would not be killed by a poisonous wine like Wang Yin, he would at least have to be sent to the border to be a big soldier!

Unexpectedly, the day after Wang Jun was disposed of, Guo Wei ordered someone to take Li Chongjin from prison to the palace. first picked up the horsewhip himself, beat this person with a bunch of stinky heads, and then asked the eunuch to push this person in front of Chai Rong, and ordered him to bow down to the prince in front of him and plead guilty. As for whether it is life or death, it is all under the prince's words.

With Chai Rong's cleverness, how could he not have imagined that his father-in-law could not give up the affection of his uncle and nephew, and tried to let Li Chongjin go? When Guo Wei heard this, he was immediately relieved, first praised Chai Rong, and then forced Li Chongjin to kneel to Chai Rong with a horsewhip to thank him. After Chai Rong personally helped Li Chongjin up, he sent this person home to think about the past behind closed doors!

"The emperor did this, although he was full of family affection, but he didn't pay too much attention to the laws of the country!" Gao Huaide and Li Chongjin had a festival before, and when he saw that this person had committed the crime of "rebellion", he was able to get through the test with only one whip, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. found an opportunity for no outsiders, and muttered to Zheng Ziming, "The emperor is not afraid, he is not afraid that other people will follow suit, or the dog surnamed Li can't change his eating? Anyway, no matter how big a mistake he makes, it will be a whip." After ten days and half a month, you can be alive again!"

"The emperor has no family left, of course he can't do it!" Zheng Ziming, who also has few relatives around him, understands Guo Wei's actions very well, smiled, and responded in a low voice, "As for the dog can't change his, he has to have a chance in the future! Don't you see? In the past few days, the emperor has handed over the entire army in front of the palace to the prince, and although the Praetorian Guard that is about to be rebuilt is Bai Wenke's main business, Bai Lao is already in his seventies, how can he still have the energy? In the end, he still has to rely on Han Chongyun? With the palace army and the Praetorian Guard in hand, in Bianliang City, who will have the opportunity to move the prince's cold hair in the future?"

"That's right!" Gao Huaide rolled his eyes and nodded lightly, "The emperor's strategy is very profound. We rushed to the rescue, who would have thought that he would fall to that point, and he would be able to turn things around?"

"I didn't expect it, I thought that I had to capture Wang Jun first, and then come to the city of Bianliang to force Wang Yin to surrender!" Zheng Ziming smiled again and nodded in admiration.

In the counterinsurgency battle a while ago, there were many places that were beyond the expectations of him, a strategist. Especially the fact that Guo Wei was able to turn the tables in an instant without a single soldier by his side, now that he looks back, he still feels unbelievable.

But when I think about it, how could Guo Wei be a simple person who was able to climb the throne from an ordinary big-headed soldier? The reason why he was caught off guard by Wang Jun, Wang Yin, and others was because he suddenly became seriously ill on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because he neglected to take precautions against his old brothers. When he regained his strength and completely put aside his old feelings, how could Wang Jun, Wang Yin and others be his opponents? If he didn't get it right, even the actions of Chai Rong, himself, Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, and others were all within Guo Wei's calculations. It's just that everyone doesn't know!

"But let Brother Han preside over the reconstruction of the Praetorian Guard, how can you use it!" Gao Huaide complained that the emperor was playing favoritism enough, and suddenly fought for Zheng Ziming. The voice was not high, but it startled the latter.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Quickly looking around, Zheng Ziming shouted to stop, "Tibetan use, do you think I live in peace! If I add a forbidden army, I will definitely become the target of public criticism!"

"What are you afraid of, there is a prince!" Gao Huaide pursed his lips, although his voice was lower, his face was full of dissatisfaction, "Besides, your credit this time is also obvious." The emperor even promoted Brother Han and his father by several levels. Why is it that there is no reward for you until now?"

"Maybe, maybe you're still thinking about it?" Zheng Ziming was also quite worried about Guo Wei's delay in rewarding himself for his meritorious deeds. After thinking about it, he responded with a wry smile.

After so many years, the identity of the prince of the previous dynasty is still a trouble that he can't get rid of. Even if he is as majestic as Guo Wei, I am afraid that he cannot ignore the fact that he has the blood of the Later Jin Dynasty royal family.

The crown prince is the crown prince, the emperor is the emperor, and the two can never be confused. The crown prince Chai Rong had a lifelong friendship with him, knowing that he had no ambition and his desire for power was not too strong. And Chai Rong's father-in-law, Guo Wei, didn't know this, and had experienced countless bloody storms in his life.

When Chai Rong married Jin Lan with him, he was only the adopted son of the Jiedu envoy. And he is still on the road of digging out the mystery of his own life experience. At that time, I am afraid that no one thought of today. Unexpectedly, the new army that was conceived together on the road has completely become a reality.

In the land of seven towns, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the combat effectiveness is no less than the legendary silver spear army, but the scale is several times that of the silver spear army. In Zheng Ziming's memory, all the fragments have already been pieced together. But none of the fragments recorded this situation, let alone foreshadowed the day to come!

Among the generations of emperors in the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Siyuan should not be considered mediocre. But Li Siyuan was not worried about the existence of the Silver Spear Army, and would rather destroy it than tolerate him posing a threat to his throne. When Chai Rong truthfully informed him of Hegong's true combat effectiveness and training, what would he do?

"Papapa, pa, papa!" was thinking gloomily when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in his ears. Immediately after, Chai Rong pushed the door in, grabbed his wrist, and turned to the side, "Third child, hurry, enter the palace quickly." Father, Father was fine just now, but suddenly fainted. The doctors, the doctors are all helpless!"
