@@It was late at night, and Shi Zhongtang still didn’t sleep, but was reading a book.
He was of foreign origin and had never read a book since he was a child. After joining the Southern Xinjiang Army, he gradually rose to prominence. Zhang Huan appreciated him and ordered him to study.
Shi Zhongtang invited a gentleman to teach him, starting from literacy and learning step by step.
When the King of Yue was in southern Xinjiang, he often gave him books and gave him a lot of advice.
The King of Yue once said: "If you learn too late, it will be difficult to reach the sky if you want to achieve anything. In this case, you can read more history books."
When Shi Zhongtang asked why, the King of Yue said: "You have no talent for poetry and songs, and you must not have the heart to learn the subtle words and great meanings of the sages. So, read the history books. There are biographies of people in the history books. Read more."
He went to see it.
I was absent-minded at first, but I just wanted to have something to talk about with the King of Yue later, so I forced myself to study.
But he found that the world opened a window to him.
Windows full of light!
He saw the lives of those princes and generals.
Either honest, ambitious, or sharp...everyone's experience is what he likes to see most.
When others look at the biographies of these characters, they only see the gains and losses.
Shi Zhongtang is different, he looks at all possibilities!
He most likes to see those who come from poor backgrounds and eventually become masters.
Gradually, he turned his attention to the emperor.
He looked through the history of the emperors and watched those ordinary people counterattack and become emperors, control the world, and decide the life and death of their ministers with a single word...
That night, he watched it all night.
He looked at the history of the founding emperor of the Chen Kingdom, and when he saw the record of that emperor conquering the capital of the previous dynasty, he became furious.
From that night on, Shi Zhongtang changed.
Be more polite to your colleagues, treat your subordinates like brothers, and be more compassionate to the people.
Until he became the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the Duke of Shang.
The night was getting darker, the candlelight was flickering, Shi Zhongtang turned a page of the book, and the sound of footsteps came to his ears.
"The Duke."
A man stood outside the door.
"explain."
Shi Zhongtang read the book.
In the book, emperors, generals and ministers tortured each other and deceived each other. "We succeeded."
Shi Zhongtang nodded, "Where are his people?" "His people are outside the house." "Force them out to build momentum!"
"Take your orders!"
After a while, there was a commotion outside.
"There's an assassin!"
In the mansion, several dark figures rushed outside the study.
"Protect the Duke!"
The guards were shouting in panic.
In the study, Shi Zhongtang saw the chronicle of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He thought softly.
"The Great Ancestor, the Great Sage Emperor Daguang, had a surname of Li and a given name of Hua. His ancestor was a Taoist from Longxi, and his ancestor was Li Song..."
Boom!
The study door was kicked open by the assassin.
Shi Zhongtang stretched out his hand, knocked away a piece of debris, and shook his head slightly.
An assassin rushed in and shouted: "Ashina Shiming, today is the day you die!"
Shi Zhongtang casually punched him.
The assassin flew out.
"The Duke has been assassinated!" "Catch the assassin!"
"Doctor, go and call for a doctor!"
There was chaos outside.
Shi Zhongtang pressed his hand on the part about the ancestors of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty royal family in this book, and said: "Some people have long said that the ancestors of the Li family were shepherd slaves, and they became commoners only because they were good at herding. Li Song is the rumored
As a saint, Li is really shameless in clinging to you like this!"
He looked outside and suddenly smiled.
"Shepherd slaves can achieve imperial status, why can't I?"
Chunyu's shout came from a distance, "My lord, please wake up!"
Shi Zhongtang took the book and stretched.
There was a bed in the study, and Shi Zhongtang preferred to sleep here most of the time. He lay down and put the book on his pillow.
() "Li's good days are numbered!"
That night, Qinghe City was filled with blood.
"Kill them all!"
Wei Ming, wearing armor and holding a sword, rushed into Zhang Chumao's home.
"Why kill?"
He Zun came out.
"Is it Mr. He?" Wei Ming smiled and said, "Take him to see the Duke."
Immediately, Wei Ming waved his hand.
The Zhang family's screams continued for a long time.
"I belong to the father of the country, you thief, let me go!"
A man was brought out and cursed at Wei Ming angrily: "You bitch slave, how dare you rush in and kill someone.
Okay, Shi Zhongtang, that wild dog is so brave, wait..."
The light of the sword flashed, and Wei Ming cursed: "The father-in-law of the country is an idiot! Last time, Yang Xuan's horse trampled on the Yang family and overturned the wall, but he didn't see what he did to Yang Xuan. Yang family in Yingchuan? When will I go to bed?
A few women from the Yang family."
He looked at the soldiers under his command and cursed: "You will all have a share when the time comes!"
"The woman who slept with the Yang family... deserves to die!"
"Mom, if I could smell Yang's woman, I would rather shorten my life by a year."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amid the wild laughter, a team came out covered in blood, "General Zhonglang, kill everyone in Zhang's family except Huo Zun."
"good!"
Wei Ming laughed heartily, "All those people in the army have been cleared."
"Take your orders!"
Several generals in the army had already been awakened, but they had no idea what had happened.
When the warriors with the smell of blood appeared in front of their eyes, everything ended.
"Kill them all!"
The smell of blood permeated the military camp.
The light of dawn shrouded the city faintly.
The civil servants stayed up all night listening to the commotion outside, and now they asked family members to come out to inquire about the news.
"It's okay."
The streets are the same as before, except that there is a little more soil on the ground. If you look carefully, you can see the fresh food soaked out of it.
The smell of blood is pungent.
An official tentatively went out and looked around.
"Damn it, how many people died last night?"
Shi Zhongtang has finished washing.
"My lord, Huo Zun has brought it."
"Um!"
Shi Zhongtang turned around, and Huo Zun was not far away.
"I heard you suggested that Zhang Chumao go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Huo Zun's face turned pale and he said, "It turns out that there are people of yours with the Duke."
Shi Zhongtang ignored this, "Before today, Zhang Chumao thought that he still had the ability to impress His Majesty and Yang Songcheng, so he was proud of himself. But you saw that he was strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
He couldn't stay in the southern Xinjiang, and the western Xinjiang was Zhao Gao's place. How could the Chang'an guards allow the emperor to let him in? In this way, the Zhang family could only be lonely.
Going to Northern Xinjiang is a desperate attempt to survive. I didn't even think of this method, which shows that you are very resourceful. Come to me, Zhang Chumao is unwilling to reuse you, but I can!"
Pooh!
He Zun spit on his face.
Then he yelled...
After a while, he stopped breathing.
Close your eyes and wait for death.
But after a long time, he heard the sound of eating. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Zhongtang sitting on the steps, eating with a big bowl.
"I used to work all day long in the tribe, but I didn't have enough to eat. If I could eat dry pancakes, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. Now as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, I still like to eat pancakes the most.
.Come and have a piece!"
Shi Zhongtang held a piece of cake.
"Why don't you kill me?" He Zun asked.
"You are not my enemy, why should I kill you?" Shi Zhongtang said with a smile: "You have talent, but that idiot Zhang Chumao doesn't use it. I am short of manpower around me. If you come, it will be this piece of cake..."
He Zun looked struggling.
"You have great talent, why don't you become an official?" Shi Zhongtang was very patient. () "Back then, I also took the imperial examination, but a beautiful article was judged as ridiculing current affairs, so I failed."
"Do you think it's fair?"
"unfair!"
"Do you want to seek justice?"
"think!"
Shi Zhong raised the pancake in his hand and said, "Then let's eat the pancake!"
He Zun took the pancake and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Shi Zhongtang looked at him, and after he finished eating, he asked, "Why teach me?"
He Zun choked a little, Shi Zhongtang clapped his hands, and the maid brought hot soup.
He Zun took two sips of the soup, took a few breaths, and said, "The Duke probably cleared out Zhang Chumao's confidants last night, right?"
Shi Zhongtang nodded noncommittally.
"There must be such a request from Chang'an. However, given the emperor's political nature, he would not let the Duke kill Zhang Chumao. Therefore, the Duke acted alone last night."
"continue!"
Shi Zhongtang ate slowly.
"Your Majesty is very jealous. The more senior people in the city are, the more jealous they will be. This move by the Duke will actually put your Majesty at ease."
"continue!"
"However, Your Majesty is old, and the current situation is clear. Only the King of Yue can succeed to the throne. If the King of Yue succeeds to the throne, the life of the Duke will be difficult to protect. Even before Your Majesty feels that he cannot stand it, he will be executed..."
Shi Zhongtang took a bite of the mutton in the mutton soup, "So, what do you think I should do?"
"Self-reliance!"
"Learn from Northern Xinjiang Yang Xuan?"
"yes!"
"What if Chang'an pressed too hard?" "Then, let's fight!"
Shi Zhongtang smiled, put down the bowl, stood up and said, "Bring Lao He a bowl of mutton soup. Make it piping hot, it will warm your heart!"
He walked down the steps and patted He Zun on the shoulder, "From now on, you are my staff! From now on, if I eat one bite, I will share half of it with you!"
Later, Shi Zhongtang took He Zun to the Jiedushi Mansion.
Later, the smell of blood wafted towards Jiedushi's mansion, which was very strong.
Shi Zhongtang, Dama Jindao, sat on it, raised his head, "Let them in."
Civil and military officials filed in.
salute.
"I've met the Duke!"
Shi Zhongtang waved his hand, feeling that the gesture was not majestic enough, so he waved his hand, "No courtesy!" Everyone stood up. "Last night, Zhang Chumao and the rebels teamed up to assassinate..."
Shi Zhongtang opened his chest. There was a bandage on his chest, and he could see blood stains.
"Fortunately, the guards around me were brave enough to stop the knife with five lives. Even so, I still almost lost my life."
Shi Zhongtang closed his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to be with you. What do you think?"
I understood, "Zhang Chumao was ambitious. Knowing that the formation had ordered the Duke to drive him away, he joined forces with the rebels to assassinate the Duke. Little did he know that the rebels wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only assassinating the Duke, but also killing him.
Zhang Chumao died, and the rebels hiding in the mansion broke out and slaughtered the entire family..."
Shi Zhongtang took out the piece of paper with the emperor's private seal on it.
In this way, the motivation is complete.
"I wish you a happy spring!" Wei Ming said.
An official said: "I am willing to countersign!"
"I would like to avoid the heat..."
One by one, officials and generals stood up.
Zhang Chumao's confidants were all slaughtered last night.
Seeing this situation, those neutral officials and generals chose to side with Shi Zhongtang without hesitation.
If you don't stand up, there is a high probability that you won't have the chance to stand up in the future.
Shi Zhongtang squinted his eyes, "Tell Aye that the southern Xinjiang army will obey Aye's orders at any time and will do so until death!"
He Zun stood behind him and murmured: "This world is going to be in chaos!"
Later, everyone left.
Shi Zhongtang smiled and watched his team go out.
He whispered what Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty said when he saw Emperor Chen Guo's carriage: "He can take his place!"
