Don't think that because Tang Ao has the identity of King Ji, the army must listen to him. There is also the so-called halo of the protagonist in novels. As soon as the protagonist appears, everyone will bow to him. That can also be established in the text. However, in real reality, facing people with flesh and blood and thoughts, it is definitely not easy to control them well. Sometimes, if you make a wrong move, the whole game may be lost.
Just like Emperor Qianwen, he had been emperor for nineteen years, but when something really happened, how many of those generals were truly loyal to the king? Isn't this enough to sound the alarm to Tang Ao?
Fortunately, Long Ya discovered the problem in time, and Tang Ao also took the opportunity to solve the problem. Looking back now, although the military meeting was a bit harsh, the effect was still good. Now they all know that disobeying military orders is a violation of military orders. Such a serious matter, under their restraint, and under the leadership of the company platoon officers below, they were able to enter Haocheng without a robbery. This is the luck of Tang Ao, the luck of Guzhou, and the people. Fortunately.
"The generals below are all smart people. They naturally know what choices to make after being beaten. Now it seems that everyone has made the right decision, which is good. But Longya cannot relax because of this. There should be We still have precautions, and the necessary investigations must continue." Tang Ao had a hint of confidence on his face. It is the way of a king to be suspicious of people and employ people with suspicion.
"No." Tie Longlian nodded immediately after understanding what Tang Ao meant, indicating that he knew what to do.
"Well, Guzhou will be ours from now on. Tang Qingchuan will not come to trouble us for the time being. During this period, Long Ya's main task will be to keep an eye on the powerful people in the city and the entire Guzhou. Powerful people, find evidence of their past violations and wait for the opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop." Tang Ao said with great confidence, waved his hand and Tie Long clasped his fists and left.
As soon as Tie Long left, Shi Lei walked in from outside, "Young Master, Prince Qing's representative Zhong Yao is already waiting in the main hall."
"Okay, it's time to go see him." Tang Ao said calmly. The reason why he told Tie Long that Tang Qingchuan would not come to trouble him in a short time was precisely because of the arrival of the special envoy of King Qing. .Are some people finally unable to bear it anymore?
Well, it’s easy to fish in muddy waters, right?
In the main hall, Zhong Yao, a former staff member of the Ministry of War and the earliest censor, was sitting peacefully in the main hall, but from his constantly flashing eyes, it could still be seen that his heart was not what he showed. calm.
This trip represented a major joint event between King Qing and King Ji. Zhong Yao was somewhat reluctant to do so.
Who is Tang Ao? He was the former Duke of Zhongguo, but he was known as a lunatic. I think back then in Daliang City, there was a saying that it was better to offend the King of Hell than Shen Ao. Zhong Yao, who was the censor at the time, made many mistakes. Zhezi impeached this person, but there was no result.
Although as a censor, it is your duty to impeach others. But at this time, at that time, the imperial power of the Great Qian Dynasty has changed seriously. Each vassal king is independent and has more power of life and death than before. .At this time, he came to King Ji and came to his territory. Who can say that this madman King Ji will not look for trouble?
What would he do if he had to settle things with him or kill him on the spot?
Even after his death, his master, King Qing, was willing to seek justice for himself, but even if he lost his life, what use would such justice be? What's more, the main target of King Qing now is Tang Qingchuan, and what he wants for other vassal kings.
It's too late to make good friends. He won't offend Ji Wang Tang Ao just because he is a little person.
Feeling uneasy and without the slightest confidence, Zhong Yao felt like sitting on pins and needles sitting in the main hall. At this moment, Tang Ao, who was wearing a yellow robe and the prince's uniform, walked in. Zhong Yao stood up instinctively and knelt down directly.
He bowed to the ground and bowed down. "I have seen His Royal Highness King Ji. His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Zhong Yao knelt down directly and fell into Tang Ao's eyes. At first, he had a look of surprise. Then he thought that this person had impeached himself when he was the censor. He couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and laughed. This was because he was afraid
Find someone to take care of him yourself.
What kind of person Tang Ao is, I am afraid that except for himself, what others know may not be true.
He showed that he must take revenge when he takes revenge, which is a display of his true temperament, but why is it not a protective color and protective measure?
He is only a teenage prince. If he does not show his domineering side and only shows his capable side, I am afraid that he will definitely arouse the suspicion of those in power. Only a person who keeps making mistakes and likes to act emotionally,
Only then can the emperor be reassured.
Speaking of which, all that is in the past. Now that Tang Ao has his own territory, his own army, and his own people, he no longer needs to be as cautious as before, and has to rely on some confusion to
Accounting shows one's own immaturity.
On the contrary, as his status continues to rise, Tang Ao still has to show his magnanimous side except in some specific matters. "Mr. Zhong, please get up quickly. There is no need to pay such a big courtesy."
Amid Tang Ao's voice, Zhong Yao stood up, his face flushed. He didn't know why he knelt down when he saw someone so unsatisfied. After all, he was also the special envoy of King Qing now. Even if he wanted to kneel, he would still kneel to King Qing.
It’s just that everything has been done, what else can be said. Zhong Yao stood up and took out the letter written by King Qing himself, "His Royal Highness King Qing, this is the letter written by King Qing to you.
Please take a look."
Shi Lei took the letter, checked that there was no problem, and then handed it to Tang Ao. He tore off the sealing wax, and Tang Ao, who was already sitting at the front, began to read it slowly.
The content of the letter is not complicated. In the first half, King Qing recalled the "good times" related to Tang Ao, in the middle half, he scolded Tang Qingchuan for trying to seize their Tang Dynasty. In the end, the real theme was to unite and rebuild the letter.
Take back the country that belongs to them.
As for who will take the throne after defeating Tang Qingchuan, it is not specified. At that time, everyone should use their own methods.
Tang Ao looked at this letter with a very calm expression. King Qing was going to make a comeback, which did not surprise him. News had already come from Longya and Anxiang, especially from Oyadan.
Then I got the information that King Qing was wooing the barbarians.
Compared to King Xiang, who had no escape, and King Shun, who was ambitious but not talented, King Qing had his own advantages. He was the eldest son and had the help of Zuo Pushe and Fan Shitong.
Tang Ao had a deep understanding of Fan Shitong's ability when he was in Daliang City. This man was the best at joint control. With him assisting King Qing, he would definitely not be unknown. He just chose this time to attack Tang Qingchuan, which should be more or less the case.
He has his own connection with it. After all, it is true that he defeated 50,000 Liaozhou elites. This should have stimulated His Highness Prince Qing, allowing him to see that Tang Qingchuan was not as tyrannical as he appeared.
The state army is not invincible.
King Qing was ready to take action, and Tang Ao was happy to see this. But he did not decide to join forces with him. For him, owning Jizhou and Guzhou was enough for him to digest for a while. Besides, King Qing, this
People are not so easy to get along with. If we really conquered Daliang City with him, there must be a fight between dragons and tigers to decide who becomes the emperor. In a short period of time, Tang Ao has no idea of coveting that position, or in his opinion,
That position is just a brazier. Anyone who doesn't have enough strength will just be roasting whoever sits on it.
Tang Ao put down the letter, and Zhong Yao couldn't help but straighten up, and asked with an expectant look on his face, "Your Highness Prince Ji, you have read my Lord's letter, but I don't know what your attitude is?"
"Yes. Brother Qing Huang is indeed the eldest son. This plan is very necessary. I fully agree with it." Tang Ao nodded heavily, showing a very supportive look.
Hearing this, Zhong Yao's eyes lit up, "So His Highness Prince Ji supports our Lord?"
"Of course I support it. There are too many strange things about my father's death. Even if my father is gone, it should be the prince who inherits the throne, not some uncle. If Brother Qing wants to conquer Daliang City, it is equivalent to
Is there any reason why I, the King, should not support the rule of the Qian Dynasty? It’s just..."
Zhong Yao, who was already a little excited, couldn't help but shut his mouth when he heard just two words. He originally wanted to say something big. He knew very well that this was often the key point in the words.
.
"It's just that my strength is limited. Jizhou and Guzhou are both too poor and poor. Now it is very difficult to defend both places. When it comes to using troops to attack Daliang City, it is really beyond my power." Tang
Ao shook his head as he spoke.
"This..." Zhong Yao really wanted to say something. It would be best to encourage Tang Ao to send troops immediately. But he also knew that what the other party said was true, which he could see after entering Haocheng. Although he said
The security in the city is pretty good, but there are a lot of beggars in the city, and the people are disheveled and depressed, and poverty is written all over their faces. It can be seen that Tang Ao did not mean to tell lies.
Having said this, Zhong Yao knew what the outcome of his trip would be, and he left as if he was saying goodbye.
Tang Ao didn't pay attention to this matter. It was already the end of September and October was approaching. Whether it was Jizhou or Guzhou, it was necessary to prepare for the winter. How to let the people of Guzhou survive the cold winter safely and stay here.
During this period, arranging the land distribution will be the focus of Han Ce's work after his arrival. As for Tang Ao himself, his thoughts are on army expansion.
Feng Xun's good news has been delivered. There are more than 20,000 prisoners, and they are all trained people, and there are also some veterans. If they can be used, it will greatly shorten the new period.
Military training time. As long as there is a huge army, any enemy will dare to face it and the sword will be unsheathed.
