In the 305th year of Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty, the Tianjiang River was flooded, countless displaced people were numerous, and the thirteen states in the north and south of the Yangtze River were in an emergency.

The folds were presented to the capital like snowflakes, and countless pieces of papers that were immediately loaded to the capital were urgent documents and requests for food, and the post stations were full.

"What's it, why are there so many twists and turns!" Zhao Heng dropped another cup in the palace. Since the moment of the Tianjiang flood, the emperor has not slept a peaceful sleep all day.

"Report! Anyang Prefecture is in an emergency, ask the Holy Lord to allocate food!" a former guard hurriedly ran in and reported.

"Dial!" This is already Zhao Heng doesn't know how many times he has said such a thing.

"Holy Lord, the treasury is almost empty. The grain officer guarding the granary hurriedly fell to the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

"Didn't you say that there was a bumper harvest last year? What about the tens of millions of quintals of storage? Say, was it swallowed privately?" Zhao Heng kicked the grain official over, and asked hatefully.

"Holy Lord, the grain is used for the armament of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Turkic Defense Army, and the bureaucrats' food, I, our treasury is really out of food. The grain officer wept with a sad face.

"I don't care what you come up with, in short, you can't collect food within three days, so let's bring you and your whole family's head to see you!" Zhao Heng paced back and forth in the Taihe Palace, his heart was extremely anxious.

"This is drinking doves to quench your thirst. In the East Palace, Young Master Duan Ping looked at these documents, his brows furrowed tightly.

The man in charge of the grain depot knelt in front of Xu Song's hall that day.

Prime Minister Xu Song worked day and night, approved documents, ran six departments, and went to the states of the Tang Dynasty to forcibly collect grain from the people and princes in the name of Zhao Heng.

The peasants in the southeast and some of the people living at the bottom could not withstand the exploitation, so they pushed Chu Xiu, a scholar with a smile, as the leader of the rebel army, and captured Shang County in Quanzhou, killed the county order, broke the county seat, and fought all the way to the state.

Zhao Heng was furious, and he set up a court staff system in the court, wanting to punish the corrupt officials who exploited him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng's methods were strongly opposed by hundreds of officials, and more people fell to Xu Song.

In the 306th year of Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty, the rebel army crossed the south of the Yangtze River, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and more and more people fought.

Zhao Heng appointed Prime Minister Xu Song to transfer troops to break the rebel army, and 800,000 ** divided the rebel army in Gumen Mountain, surrounded and annihilated.

Xu Song's class returned to the court to invite merit, and at this moment he holds the power of the army, and his merits are high.

Zhao Heng had no choice but to honor Xu Song as the Taishi in January 307 of Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty, awarded the title of three dukes, and ruled over a hundred officials.

Since then, Xu Song has become more and more arrogant, going in and out to use the guard of honor of the king, every time he travels, there are hundreds of officials who call and support, and he is good at advocating false holy decrees, cutting the land of princes and vassal kings in various places.

Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty in April 307.

Zhao Jian, the king of Qin, was unwilling to be weakened, and in the name of the king of Qin, he led a private army of 200,000 to crusade against Xu Song.

After March, Zhao committed suicide in defeat.

In the year 308 of Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty, the princes from all over the country raised troops twenty-one times, either to be the king of Qin, or to support the army and stand on their own, so they led their troops to the capital.

Xu Song relied on the power of the military department, bribed the subordinates of the princes, and set up banquets to assassinate him, and did everything he could. Label all the rebellions as rebellions, and even relatives and friends.

Since then, the princes have a secret hatred in their hearts, but they dare not make a mistake.

Xu Song became even more rampant, annexed a large number of fiefs of the princes of Emperor Zhao Heng, hired private troops in the capital without authorization, replaced the Imperial Forest Army, and replaced most of the guards in the capital with henchmen.

Above the court, Xu Song tried his best to eliminate dissidents, kill officials, abolish ministers, and cover the sky with one hand. If it weren't for the fact that Jinyiwei belonged to the exclusive secret of the emperor of the generation, bound by an oath, I am afraid that Emperor Zhao Heng would have lost the last trace of bargaining chips.

"How can this be reasonable, it really is unreasonable! I will kill this old puppet one day!" Zhao Heng completely lost his previous majesty and became more and more tyrannical.

In the year 309 of Emperor Gao of the Tang Dynasty, it was a good year, and Xu Song was already a very popular minister, with great merits, and he went in and out to carry weapons, regardless of imperial power.

"Go to court!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Only Taishi Xu Song stood on top of the court hall and nodded slightly.

"Flat!" Zhao Heng had a trace of tiredness in his eyes.

"Emperor Xie!" the court officials were mighty.

"Something to do, nothing to retreat!" the eunuch's sharp voice came from afar.

"The minister has something to do. "Open your mouth in the middle of the matter.

Say. Zhao Heng leaned on the dragon chair.

"Please add Prime Minister Xu Song as regent. ”

"Someone, two hundred court staffs!Not allowed to play!" Zhao Heng was furious, and immediately stood up from the dragon chair, and an endless tyrannical aura emanated.

"Although Zhang Qu made a mistake in the first place, His Majesty should read his direct advice and think twice. "Xu Songwen is crepe.

"Please think twice!!" The officials of the court echoed one after another, and they were silent for a while.

"You, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel? Royal Forest Army, Royal Forest Army!" Zhao Heng shouted loudly.

"In!" two Kings broke into the door.

"Will give Zhang Qu to take it down!" Zhao Heng flicked his sleeves, and the dragon on the dragon robe also looked hideous.

The two Royal Forest Army masters were stunned there, and they didn't move for a long time.

"What, do you also want to disobey the king's orders?" Zhao Heng threatened.

"If you don't execute it, I will kill you all over the house!" As the supreme ruler and ruler of the Tang Dynasty, the dignified Tang Emperor Gao couldn't even call the two guards.

"Take Zhang Qu down. Xu Song saw that the time was not ripe, so he hurriedly played a round.

"Xu Song, I found that your reputation is higher than mine. Zhao Heng sneered, and the temperature of the entire court seemed to have dropped. All the smarter people know that Zhao Heng is going to make fun of Prime Minister Xu Song.

"The minister does not deceive the king, but the king wants to kill the minister. The old minister has assisted His Majesty for more than 100 years, begging His Majesty to stay in the courtiers, so as not to chill the hearts of the courtiers in the world. Although Xu Song is showing weakness on the surface, every word secretly hides a threat.

"Hmph!" Zhao Heng snorted coldly, and left under the support of the palace maid and eunuch.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Father. A sinister-looking fat man stood up to greet him.

"Mo'er. Xu Song saw his respectful son, and when he thought of his extremely popular position and control of the government, a sense of pride inexplicably rose in his heart.

"Father, are you the regent now?" asked Xu Mo.

"Not yet, it's not ripe. Xu Song looked at his son, with some regret in his tone, he carried the jade wrench and slowly walked towards the room.

"Father, I want to ......" Xu Mo suddenly stopped Xu Song.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want Princess Zixuan, but I ......," Xu Mo said with some hesitation.

"It's nothing, it's just, the next time you go to court, my father will help you say this match. Xu Song laughed.

"Thank you, father!" Xu Mo hurriedly knelt down.

"Hahaha! Control the government and govern the world!" Xu Song laughed wildly.
