The four prime ministers Cui Zhaowei, Zheng Yanchang, Wang Tuan and Cui Yin were disgraced. They had not seen the saint for several hours.
The sergeants holding Ridu looked fierce, and they picked up their bows at every turn and aimed at the prime ministers and ministers. This gave them all a bad feeling: the lieutenants of the Northern Division wanted to kidnap the saint?
However, their suspicion was quickly overturned, because Ximen Zhongsui, Liu Jishu, Luo Quanguan and other senior officials also came to them with gloomy faces and sighed.
Now everyone understood that the person who wanted to fish in troubled waters was not the Bei Division Lieutenant, but Wu Fu!
"Princes and ministers, do you still want to fight now?" Ximen Zhongsui was in a bad mood, and he said with a gun and a stick. He sneered and said: "Fu Daozhao, if Prime Minister Cui didn't bewitch him, he wouldn't be able to fight."
As for betraying me?"
Cui Zhaowei's expression did not change: "What did Ximen Palace Supervisor say?"
"Yes or no, Shuzi knows it in his heart!" Ximen Zhongsui said angrily.
Cui Zhaowei's face turned red and white, but the other three prime ministers didn't say anything. He didn't have the confidence to say anything more. He just snorted coldly, turned around, closed his eyes and rested.
But Ximen Zhongsui did not want to let him go, and continued to sarcastically say: "Now it seems that there are not many sensible people in the court. Xiao Yuan is one of them, he left Zhenhewei early. Du Rangneng is also one, in three years
Qianyuan Town Liangzhou. Wei Zhaodu went to Longyou ten days ago, so it's not too late. After all, it's Wei Du who sees opportunities quickly. Who do you think Cui Zhaowei is? The Cui family of Qinghe, even if you don't mention it, your defeat is imminent."
Cui Zhaowei continued to close his eyes and showed no reaction, as if the old monk had fallen into trance.
Life is not easy for the rich and aristocratic family.
Before the Anshi Rebellion, they were severely suppressed, but it was generally okay. The emperor was mainly targeted at them, and they could still cling to each other vaguely. The marriage targets were also big families, with the eldest daughter being married off to be the official wife, and the concubine to be the concubine.
They may be relatives, or they may be giants...
After the An-Shi Rebellion, things suddenly became very eye-catching. The warriors didn’t care whether you were from an aristocratic family or not. If you didn’t obey, you would be hacked to death. There was also the tradition that “women are mostly in the army”, so it was impossible to snatch away the noble daughters of noble officials.
It is unequivocal that many people even became prostitutes in the campground. It was really an era where elegance was in disrepair.
The Huangchao Rebellion pushed their embarrassment to the top.
In Guangqi, although the chaos in Chao was pacified, the life of the aristocratic families became increasingly difficult. Their influence was limited to Guanzhong and their hometown. Local tycoons were rising day by day, and military leaders, big and small, still went their own way. This was an era of grassroots carnival, and the aristocratic families were not only
Politically cleansed and even physically eliminated, the remaining people had lingering fears and had to be broken into pieces, eventually being lost in the tide of history.
The rule of the country by warriors is probably the social form that aristocratic families hate the most.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, without the support of aristocratic families or big families, it was difficult for a junior officer to get promoted after having achieved military exploits. Even promotions had ceilings, and they might even be misappropriated for their merits and die miserably.
After the hard times, there were too many vassal commanders, yamen generals, governors, and grassroots people. Moreover, a "strange" trend emerged among the warriors, that is, they were too sympathetic to each other and too class-conscious. Shangguan oppressed them.
Me, chop him to death! Someone is deducting food and wages, kill him! I will take everyone to those wealthy families to make a fortune, and everyone recommends me to be the queen!
This is an era of great reshuffle. Half of the aristocratic families have been wiped out, and the remaining half will soon be wiped out. Their last struggle is probably to cling to a warrior who doesn't seem to have much ill will towards them.
Work hard to realize your own value and survive.
Zheng Yanchang couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say a few words, but Liu Jishu glared at him, and he lost his courage and turned away.
"It's already this time, why bother making trouble again!" Wang Tuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's important to see the saint."
Ximen Zhongsui's expression softened slightly.
"Prince Ximen, Ximen Zhao is pretending to be your son——"
Just as Wang Tuan was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Ximen Zhongsui: "I have never been such a fake person. This person's name is Fu Daozhao, and he was born as a Cai thief."
"Okay!" Wang Tuan choked for a moment and then said, "What does Fu Daozhao want to do?"
"This thief probably wants to hijack the saint. He has rare things to live in." Ximen Zhongsui said bitterly.
"This -" Wang Tuan didn't understand. It's already like this. What's the benefit of kidnapping a saint? If you want to get promoted to a higher position, as for the territory, there is definitely no territory. Where are you going to get the territory? Tongzhou? Huazhou?
Or the towns in northwest Beijing?
"How can we make common sense assumptions about such a warrior?" Cui Zhaowei finally spoke: "I don't think he has a big plan. He just made a temporary decision to seek a ministerial order and the post of grand master."
"How can I give him the order of minister?" Wang Tuan was a little surprised and said: "If the three masters are not morally respected, they will not be in their position. If there is no such person, they will be missing. How can we give an important position that is better to be lacking than to overfill it?"
"She's holding the handle of the knife, so what if you don't agree?" Cui Zhaowei didn't like Wang Tuan, so he sneered, "Even if Fu Daozhao asks for your daughter to be a concubine, I'm afraid I have to agree."
Wang Tuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he ignored Cui Zhaowei.
During the Jianzhong Rebellion of the Dezong Dynasty, Zhu Si proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an. Although the public officials and generals did not think highly of him in their hearts, they thought that they were crowned as monkeys. But this group of people who were crowned as monkeys held the handle of the sword, and they were a large group of warriors.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a wife and concubine, asking for a noble daughter, wouldn't you just hold your nose and give it away?
When the nest enters Chang'an, there is another wave of "wife-taking". Do you dare not to give it? Even the concubines of saints are living among the people, and their whereabouts are unknown. If they annoy them, they are the princes and princes. Maybe the whole family is "unknown"
whereabouts".
Cui Yin had not been the prime minister for a long time and was the most junior. His expression changed slightly and he came out to smooth things over and said: "This thief Fu Daozhao is actually not difficult to deal with. Seeing that he does not dare to disturb the Holy Master, we know that what he wants is limited. Now it's time to
What worries me is Li Kuangwei, will the Zhu Si incident happen again?"
At that time, Zhu Si only had 5,000 soldiers at hand, but he dared to occupy Chang'an and proclaim himself emperor. First, he named the country Daqin, and the reign name Yingtian. The next year, he changed the name of the country to Dahan, and the reign name Emperor. This is childish.
Li Kuangwei was also born in Yanshuai, and he also has 5,000 Tianwei in his hands. Will he do the same thing?
Ximen Zhongsui, Cui Zhaowei, Zheng Yanchang, and Wang Tuan all changed their expressions after hearing this.
There are still more than 30,000 "neutral" Shence troops in Chang'an City. They don't have much moral integrity. If Li Kuangwei promises wealth but fails to keep it, they will make him emperor.
Since the Northern Dynasties, imperial power has not been so sacred. As far as the dynasty is concerned, apart from those who proclaimed themselves emperors during the founding period, such as Dou Jiande and Fugong Er, there are also those who proclaimed themselves emperors without permission, including Bai Tieyu, Wu Zetian, Li Chongfu, and An Lushan.
, An Qingxu, Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi, Li Chenghong, Zhu Si, Li Xilie, Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan, etc., as for Zhu Tao who was the emperor's younger brother, Kang Chuyuan who was the king, etc., there are countless others.
Will Lee Kuang Wei proclaim himself emperor? It’s hard to say.
Liu Jishu came close to Ximen Zhongsui's ear and whispered a few words. Ximen's expression softened slightly.
Cui Zhaowei and others looked at him intently.
"We can only drive away tigers and devour wolves." Ximen Zhongsui smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, the sage has ordered the Xia soldiers to go to the capital to aid the capital. It may be possible to kill Li Kuangwei's thieves."
"Doesn't this mean that He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing?" Wang Tuan was the most honest person and blurted out subconsciously.
Ximen Zhong then knew Wang Tuan's temperament and didn't take it seriously. Instead, he explained: "King Xia is quite reasonable and not like an ordinary warrior."
He is different from ordinary martial artists, but he is still a martial artist after all. Cruelty, greed for money, lust, short-sightedness, rudeness, arrogance and other problems are still contaminated to some extent. But so what? What can you do? Who else can come?
help?
Ximen Zhongsui made another false promise. Li Maozhen, the military governor of Jiannan and Xichuan, who was also the former Ximen Wentong, did not forget the old friendship between father and son and expressed his willingness to send General Yang Chongben to aid the capital.
But that's all. Don't say that he is fighting fiercely with Zhu Mei. Even if there are three towns of Longjian, Xingyuan and Fengxiang in between, it is absolutely impossible.
As for looking for Zhu Quanzhong, forget it, he can't come to Guanzhong. In the battle of Heqing, the enemy was defeated with more troops, but he lost his troops and generals, which shocked many people in the court and was also quite disappointing.
The life of the people in the cage is not easy. Now that the country is in a slump, the vassal towns cannot be cut off, but it is the consensus of everyone that they cannot let one family dominate. Zhu Quanzhong failed to defeat Shao Shude, which made them very uncomfortable.
"There is nothing more to say." Ximen Zhongsui was too lazy to talk nonsense with these idiots. He just listened to him say: "If the Xia soldiers don't come, how can we scare the likes of Fu Daozhao, Shi Zan, and Li Kuangwei?"
Cui Yin rolled his eyes and remained silent.
He just remembered something. Ximen Zhongsui took the Sun Capital to escort the saint out of Shacheng. What does this mean? It means that he can no longer control the Forbidden Army! Isn't this a God-given opportunity?
In particular, even Ximen Zhao has come up with ideas. He seems to want to make the decision himself and no longer wants to listen to others' instructions.
Zhongguan of the Northern Division, is this the same day?
The more Cui Yin thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could see Shao Shude now. Even if there is no one around, he could be more flattering and flatter him! As long as I am allowed to take charge of the government alone and kill all the eunuchs, what else can't be given up?
Looking at what Shao Shude did when he came to Beijing in the past, he sometimes cooperated with the eunuch, and sometimes fell out with him. He did not have any special affection for the eunuch. In fact, he could cooperate, as long as he used his chips to impress him.
Thinking of this, Cui Yin's expression became more and more indifferent, and he had already made up his mind: perhaps, it was time to send someone to contact him secretly.
At this time, Shao Shude had also led a thousand soldiers across the Pujinguan Floating Bridge and stayed at Changchun Palace in Tongzhou.
The Silver Guns all traveled day and night, sparing no effort, and could arrive very quickly.
However, this army alone is not enough. He will wait until the Yi Cong Army and the Feng'an Army gather together before he can advance westward in a large scale.
Before that, you can just wait and see the situation, and discuss the price with various forces. As the saying goes, make a decision and then act.
This time when he entered Chang'an, he had several big things to do.
