Chapter 488 Zhang Tianwang is the adoptive father again
Beauty is a completely different feeling when you see it on TV or in videos than when you see it in reality.
Zhang Zhao had actually experienced this difference before traveling through time.
When you see Dilraba, Gulinaza, Malza... Well, although such beauties are pleasing to the eye, they feel like they are just that.
But in real life, the feelings will be completely different.
Before Zhang Zhao traveled through time, because he needed to find models for filming ancient style videos, he came into contact with several top beauties, which was completely different from the feeling on TV.
When a beauty of this level stands in front of others, her impact is very powerful.
A perfect face, paired with a smile, a subtle fragrance and a soft voice, it can really draw away people's souls.
At least Zhang Zhao couldn't help but take a peek from time to time.
In this era, Zhang Zhao felt this way even more, but among his concubines, except Cao Sanniang's wife Yannai and his aunt Li Ruoliu, the rest were not considered stunning.
To be precise, the only one who can be considered stunning is Cao Sanniang.
However, after all, Sanniangzi was so much older than Zhang Zhao. After taking the risk to give birth to a daughter for Zhang Zhao, her appearance and figure gradually began to change, and now she exists as a virtuous wife and female adviser to Zhang Zhao.
Therefore, when Zhang Zhao first saw Concubine Wang Shu, who was known as the most beautiful woman of the Five Dynasties and was known as the shy flower, he really couldn't take his eyes away for a few seconds.
The woman in front of her had extremely fair skin and extremely delicate facial features. Even though she deliberately wore a bulky coat and skirt, she still couldn't block her bulging protrusion.
What's more important is that this woman has an elegant intellectual beauty of her own. She is not a little beauty, but gives people the feeling of a caring big sister.
If in later generations, she would be the perfect match for a highly educated lady.
On the other hand, Li Congyi was much more inconspicuous. The young man was still good-looking, but his whole body gave off a feeling of weakness, like a pika vigilantly looking for food on the grassland.
He Ningze is similar to Zhang Zhao's imagination, dressed in a typical Central Plains literati style, with slightly gray hair, very neatly styled, giving people a very rigorous and steady feeling.
Hua Jianxian was also secretly observing Zhang Zhao. This famous Zhang Tianwang was not at all the ferocious man she imagined. Instead, he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he was not very handsome, he was very good-looking.
Hua Jian looked at Zhang Zhao shyly, and suddenly thought of a person, that is Emperor Zhuangmiao in Jinyang.
At that time, Li Yazi, the world's hero, was very similar to Zhang Tianwang in temperament.
Is this what a promising hero should look like?
The scene was silent for a second or two, and then Zhang Zhao waved to Li Congyi, gesturing for him to come over.
Li Congyi first glanced at his adoptive mother Wang Shufei, and after she nodded, he cautiously walked towards Zhang Zhao.
Guo Tiance, who was beside Zhang Zhao, personally moved a small brocade stool and placed it almost parallel to Zhang Zhao.
It's just that this brocade stool is much smaller, and with Li Congyi's frightened look, he doesn't look like he's from the Great Dynasty, but is somewhat similar to Zhang Xianyu, the second son of Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao said to Li Congyi with a somewhat sighing tone: "When I was in Shazhou in the past, some of the descendants of the Guiyi Army, the descendants of Tang'er in Hexi, Longyou, and Anxi, thought about it day and night.
Connect with the motherland and return to the great dynasty.
It's just fate. By the time we can return east, the Central Plains will have become the Jin Dynasty's world.
With a loyal and sincere heart, I feel unwilling to join those who betray the country and seek glory.
Therefore, it is really a helpless move to stand on one's own after returning to the country. Although a certain person calls himself the King of Great Liang, his intention to return to the great dynasty has not changed."
If a normal prince heard Zhang Zhao say this, he should express his opinion immediately.
"The ruler of Jin has lost his virtue and the country has collapsed. Why doesn't the King of Heaven march eastward to expel the barbarians and re-establish the great dynasty?"
Or say, 'How can the Khitan barbarians be worthy of occupying the Central Plains? After the loyal ministers of the heavenly king, they should raise righteous soldiers and march eastward to punish the people.'
However, his father Li Siyuan passed away when Li Congyi was only a few years old, and he had no education in this area at all.
In addition, I am not a smart person, so I didn’t understand Zhang Zhao’s meaning at all.
He could only look at Zhang Zhao with some fear, and nodded his head twice, as if he sympathized and agreed with Zhang Zhao's words.
He Ning couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed, stepped forward and said with cupped hands.
"The King of Heaven has returned to his country with great righteousness and his loyalty is known to all the world. Now that the Barbarians have invaded the Central Plains, this is the moment of life and death for me, Tang'er. For the sake of the people of the world, foreign ministers implore the King of Heaven to send troops immediately to expel the Northern Barbarians."
This is the level of a normal politician. Zhang Zhao nodded, then shook his head.
"I, a man from Daliang, have shown my loyalty to the great dynasty every day. Unfortunately, I am only a minister guarding the country's borders, so I should not rush to send troops into the Central Plains.
Although I know that I entered the Central Plains to actually save the people of the world, but if there are one or two people with evil intentions who accuse me of slandering the people and committing crimes, they are actually seizing the Central Plains. I cannot prove it to myself, and I am afraid I will bear this unnecessary infamy.
!”
He Ning's heart felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.
At this time, the commander-in-chief and military leaders were too arrogant, but the Great Liang King was really too disciplined!
No! Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in He Ning's mind. This is not abiding by the rules. King Zhang Tian wants them all!
He wants thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, he wants the name of benevolence and righteousness, he still wants to be a loyal minister and a filial son!
This is really...a bit awesome (shameless).
Sure enough, before He Ning could speak, Zhang Zhao looked at Li Congyi happily.
"But God is pitiful. God has not forgotten our desire to return to our country. His Highness King Xu is here today. It is the God-given master, a certain Zhang Zhao, who is willing to lead an army of 100,000 from the Liang Kingdom and serve King Xu as his master."
'Poof!'
Li Congyi, who was watched with joy by Zhang Zhao, was so frightened that he overturned his brocade stool. He knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao with tears streaming down his face.
Although Li Congyi is not very smart, he knows how to be powerful.
Not to mention that Hou Tang in their family no longer exists, even if he still exists, he is just a younger brother ranked last. The title of King Xu is the ceiling of his title.
With his status, how could he dare to accept Zhang Zhao's offer of being his master?
I'm tired of living, so I need to find a living Cao Cao to amuse me, right?
Here, Li Congyi had just knelt down. Hua shivered in shame and slid to the ground. She looked at Zhang Zhao with a look of pear blossoms and begged.
"King of Heaven, please forgive me! The Tang Dynasty has long since disappeared. Even if it is still there, Brother Yi will not be the emperor. My mother and son just want to live an ignoble existence and have no other thoughts."
While crying, Hua was embarrassed and turned back to look at He Ning, "Ms. He can testify that my mother and son have not even left the temple on weekdays since they offered incense to the emperors in Luoyang!"
He Ning's cheeks twitched unconsciously, but he did not answer because he felt that the reason why Zhang Zhao did this was definitely not to kill the mother and son.
Because Zhang Zhao had no grudge against them, there was no need to harm such an orphan and widowed mother.
Sure enough, after seeing Hua Jiansha and Li Congyi kneeling on the ground, Zhang Zhao sighed and walked over to help Li Congyi up.
"I don't want to be of the great dynasty's blood and be bullied to this extent. I am so scared. Shi Jingtang betrayed his country to seek glory, usurped the throne and became self-reliant. He is truly a sinner through the ages!
Please don’t be alarmed, King Xu, I am not testing you, and I have no intention of harming you."
With that said, Zhang Zhao walked over and grabbed Hua Jiansha's arm unceremoniously, and helped her up from the ground.
It was indeed the best. It didn't look plump, but it was extremely soft and waxy. When Hua saw it, two red clouds flew over her face, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
But she knew that Zhang Zhao was implying something by being so disrespectful of etiquette and saying, "Don't do anything unless it's polite."
"One hundred thousand talented people from Longyou, Hexi, and Beiting, An'an, came here specifically to revive the great dynasty. The great dynasty no longer exists, only the lineage of King Xu remains, but our loyal hearts have not changed despite the swords and axes.
If King Xu is the leader, we can call on the good men from the four towns to return to their homeland and drive away the barbarians from the north."
Although Zhang Zhao helped Hua Jian shyly up, he looked at He Ning and said these words.
He Ning suddenly remembered what Feng Dao had said when he asked him to come. King Xu and Li Congyi were a burden to everyone, but to King Zhang Tian, they were treasures that united people's hearts.
He understood that Shatuo Tang was also a Tang Dynasty, a Tang Dynasty recognized by everyone. King Zhang Tian was trying to resurrect the soul through the corpse!
Borrowing the shell of the Tang Dynasty, he cut off the four separate regimes with great righteousness, revived the Tang Dynasty and made Jin Ou intact, and then established the Zhang Dynasty.
This is to cut off the foundation of the world's military governors, retain their descendants, and even defeat their soldiers and generals!
That's why His Majesty the Heavenly King operates so complicatedly and carefully, even the slightest bit of righteousness must be grasped in his hands.
Change the martial arts ethos and recreate the heroic spirit of the great dynasty.
For some reason, He Ning remembered these two sentences. Will the troubled times really end at the hands of King Zhang Tian?
Thinking of this, he strode forward and raised his hand.
"The foreign ministers reported to the King of Heaven with tears in their eyes that the Shi family usurped the throne, which was really treason and immorality. How could the Khitan barbarians be canonized as the emperor of the Central Plains? The Jin country was a puppet dynasty!
We can allow King Xu to ascend the throne as the King of Tang, in order to repay the desire of the officials and people in the four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, and Beiting to return home, and then establish a foothold in Chang'an, gather the righteous soldiers from all over the world, and go east to fight against the captives."
Hearing what He Ning said, Hua Jian screamed in shame, "Does Mr. He want to kill the slave mother and son?"
As long as Li Congyi is promoted to the position of Tang Wang, can he still be demoted?
Historically, this kind of puppet master ended up being tortured to death after being used up.
The tragedy of Xiong Xin, the Righteous Emperor of Chu State at the end of the Qin Dynasty, is clearly written in the history books.
"Am I as narrow-minded as King Chu Bawang? Don't have any doubts."
Zhang Zhao waved his big hand, holding Hua Jian's shy and soft little hand, as if to comfort him, but still looked at He Ning.
Obviously, He Ning's suggestion was only half the story, because it was easy to push Li Congyi up, but how to get Li Congyi to the ground safely without damaging Zhang Zhao's benevolence, justice, loyalty, and trustworthiness was the most critical thing.
But this was not a problem for He Ning. He got Feng Dao's advice and had already thought more clearly along the way.
Now when he saw Zhang Zhao's behavior, he immediately knew what to do. He raised his hands to Zhang Zhao and said.
"The son of the Heavenly King married the daughter of Mingmiao. Therefore, the Heavenly King and Mingmiao are actually brothers. Haven't you heard of the story of entrusting a wife to sacrifice his son?"
He Ning stroked his beard proudly, and continued without any hesitation: "When the foreign ministers came to Luoyang, they had already moved the altar of the Luoyang ancestral temple with them. I heard that there was also a great dynasty relic named Li Shouling in Chang'an City, who built a great dynasty family temple.
These two temples can be combined into one and used as the ancestral temple, and the three gods of Zhuangzong, Mingzong and Min from the later dynasties can be moved into the ancestral temple of the Great Dynasty.
Later, King Xu first recognized the King of Heaven as his adoptive father, and then, under the throne of the twenty-four emperors of the great dynasty, he asked his adoptive father, King Liang, to raise a righteous army, punish the people, conquer the Central Plains, and avenge the country.
He said, ‘The virtues of the Tang Dynasty are declining, and whoever among the world’s heroes can drive away the Khitans should inherit the virtues of the Tang Dynasty and become the lord of the world.’”
It has to be you! It has to be you Confucian scholars who can make things happen through twists and turns! Zhang Zhao couldn't help but applaud.
He Ning's theory was to let Li Congyi worship Zhang Zhao as his adoptive father without changing his surname, thus creating a situation where he would entrust his wife to sacrifice his son.
This makes sense, because Murong Nobunaga married Princess Yongle, the fifteenth daughter of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Zhao and Li Siyuan were in-laws. It would not be wrong to say they were brothers.
Then he did not recognize the Jin State, branded the Shi family as traitors and usurpers, and added the three generations of emperors Zhuangzong, Mingzong, and Mindi of the Later Tang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty's emperor sequence.
This makes sense, because the Sheji Zong Temple in the Later Tang Dynasty has always worshiped Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
They were not a new dynasty, but inherited the Tang Dynasty. Li Keyong really wanted to be Emperor Guangwu of Tang Dynasty.
After completing this set of operations, King Xu Li Congyi was qualified to avenge his country, but he did not have a country but only an ancestral temple, so he could be asked to entrust Zhang Zhao to help revenge in the name of the King of Tang.
He also said in front of the ancestral throne that the Tang Dynasty's virtue has declined, and whoever can avenge the Tang Dynasty will be the master of the world.
In this way, when Zhang Zhao drives out the Khitan, he will be the legitimate lord of the world.
Well, Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, this was very like Zhu Hongwu.
Didn't Zhu Hongwu say that before he crossed the sea, Emperor Zhao Bing of the late Song Dynasty once said that whoever could drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains would be the master of the world?
Therefore, under the banner of reopening the Song Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu could also legitimately establish the Ming Dynasty.
Then he, Zhang Zhao, could also establish a new dynasty that inherited the virtues of the Tang Dynasty in the name of expelling the northern barbarians and reviving the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Zhao immediately took He Ning's hand and said: "Nothing bothers the two masters. He Weng Tian Wenzong, you will take care of this."
He Ning was overjoyed, this was no small matter, it was a great contribution to establishing a new dynasty!
Even if He Ning does nothing in the future, he will still be ranked at the top of the list of founding heroes.
Hua Jianxian barely understood this theory at this moment. In order to survive, this woman also risked her life. She immediately held Zhang Zhao's arm with her backhand and called Li Congyi in the distance.
"Please do me a favor, son, and come to see your adoptive father, His Majesty the King of Heaven!"
Of course Li Congyi has no objection. For him, if his life can be guaranteed and he can live a prosperous life, what else can he ask for?
Then he walked up to Zhang Zhao, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to pay homage to his father, and shouted: "My son, see your father!"
