Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 50
Is Zhu Quanzhong out of his mind?To send Jingxiang and Yang Shihou to Huazhou?

Li Ye thought about it again, and felt that something was wrong. Zhu Quanzhong probably wanted to contact Han Jian. He sent Jing Xiang and others to Chang'an to meet me.

That being the case, that's right.

At this time, Zhu Quanzhong was fledgling, and he still needed to borrow the power of Datang.

Unexpectedly, Yushan's personal guards made such a great achievement for the first time, Li Ye was naturally very happy.

The most urgent task is to take the two of them to Chang'an as soon as possible.

A piece of imperial edict?
Li Ye shook his head. He really didn't trust Han Jian. He was afraid that Han Jian would kill Jing Xiang and the others if he didn't do anything.

"Send important officials from the imperial court and three hundred armored soldiers to proclaim the imperial edict together with the Chinese envoy. When the time comes, the armored soldiers will directly surround the posthouse and force Korea to establish diplomatic relations."

Li Ye tried to think about it from Han Jian's point of view. Han Jian would not dare to turn his back on the court now that the court had won the victory over Li Maozhen. Dare to show your teeth to the prime minister face to face.Not to mention Han Jian.

The world is orthodox, and sometimes it works.

Li Ye thought about it, and there was nothing wrong or missing.

As for who to send?

Li Ye intends to prime minister Kong Wei.

In the court, Kong Wei is the most important etiquette, and the official airs are scary. It is no problem to invite Han Jian to frighten Han Jian, and to show the court's majesty.

Of course, Li Ye would be willing to give Han Jian a stick like this.

"Let Zhang Xingsi, who defended Huazhou City, be the third-rank General Guide."

What is the intention, let Han Jian figure it out for himself!
…………

The next day, Li Ye called Kong Wei, Du Rangneng and Zhang Jun to discuss matters.

"I heard that Han Jian, the governor of Huazhou, harbored Zhu Quanzhong's party in private. This move is tantamount to treason. I want to issue an order to punish and bring back the criminals.

But fearing that Han Jian would be a hindrance, Han Jian issued several edicts to the court but refused.I don't know if Kong Gong can share my worries. "

The matter was brought up so urgently that Kong Wei didn't realize it for a while, but after a while, Kong Wei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to go, but I just want to know whether there is convincing evidence that Han Jian harbored the criminal."

Li Ye nodded, Kong Wei was a little pedantic, but he was right to be old and steady.

Just imagine if there is no evidence, Han Jian would deny it flatly, and it would be the face of the court.

Li Ye handed a secret letter to Kong Wei and said, "Naturally, the evidence is convincing. The secret letter has been sealed with wax, and it will be opened after entering Huazhou City."

The matter was so important that Li Ye didn't dare to disclose it, for he was really afraid that Han Jian would know the news in advance and kill Jingxiang and the others.

Kong Wei took the secret letter and said: "The old minister obeys the order."

"Mr. Du and Mr. Kong drafted an imperial edict to entrust General Zhang Xingsi, the city defense envoy of Huazhou, to serve in Chang'an."

Kong Wei frowned, why is this, he has never heard of this Zhang Xingsi, why did His Majesty confer this important post in the court, third rank official, he is only second rank.

"Your Majesty, what achievements does this person have with Datang? He can be given this prominent position."

Kong Wei's stubborn temper came up.

Li Ye said: "This is a secret, let's talk about it later!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is the prime minister of the country. He belongs to the country of the Tang Dynasty. He has dedicated his duties to the emperor and collected relics. If your majesty does not make it clear, he will confer lightly on the prominent position. Forgive the old minister for not daring to obey the imperial edict."

Li Ye felt that his blood pressure was a little high, so he really couldn't say anything about it. Could it be that he told Kong Wei that Zhang Xingsi was Han Jian's confidant? A memorial was wiped out.

Impossible!

"Mr. Kong, I will re-examine the matter again. It is a confidential matter. When you return to Beijing, I will tell you whether it is possible."

After Li Ye finished speaking, he looked at Kong Wei with burning eyes, this old boy dared to say another word, today is his last day to be prime minister.

The atmosphere is a bit dignified.

Du Rangneng stepped forward to persuade him: "Duke Kong, Your Majesty has already made a holy judgment, and there must be deep meaning."

Kong Wei sighed and said, "I obey the order!"

Li Ye's face softened a little, and he said to Kong Wei: "If Han Jian doesn't let him go, just insist on it, and then it's fine, but Zhu Quanzhong and his party members will definitely bring me here, not a single hair will be missing."

Kong Wei couldn't keep up with the emperor's rhythm at all, and thought to himself: "What do you mean?"

………………

The news of the imperial court's pacification of Fengxiang and the beheading of Li Maozhen spread to all the feudal towns one after another.

Datang's underwear was finally put on.

If a feudal town wants to show its teeth to the court, it has to see if it can catch up with Fengxiang and Longyou in strength, and whether its neck is as thick as Li Maozhen.

Before the feudal towns digested this fact, Zhu Quanzhong conspired to assassinate the prime minister, and the imperial court issued an edict to crusade against Zhu Quanzhong, which was then passed on to all the feudal towns.

Li Keyong was overjoyed to hear that, with the court's righteousness in his body, he was finally able to clean up Zhu Quanzhong in an upright manner this time. The fire at Shangyuan Station was still burning in his heart.

During the Battle of Heyang just over half a year ago, he was almost driven out of Bianliang by Zhu Wen, and he was furious at the embarrassment at that time.

As for Zhu Quanzhong from Bianliang, the successive blows made him feel that he had violated the Tai Sui this year, and why the court targeted him again and again.

He needs the justice of the court so much now.

With the righteousness of the court in hand, he can unite with all feudal clans and wipe out Qin Zongquan.

Zhu Quanzhong was very puzzled, is the court's bottom line so low now?Will indulge Qin Zongquan to always be his false emperor.

Hearing the report from Yang Shihou's escaped soldiers, Han Jian, the governor of Huazhou, detained Jing Xiang and others, and Mo gave away money and jewels. Zhu Quanzhong could only grit his teeth bitterly. He couldn't concentrate on Han Jian now. , he has to stay awake all the time to face the coming situation.

Zhu Quanzhong vaguely remembered a few years ago, it seemed to be July!He only led [-] troops from the headquarters to Kaifeng.

I remember that I was very excited at that time. After decades of military service, I finally had my own territory. Only when I have my own territory can I have other things.

Although Xuanwu was still a mess at that time, most of the entire Xuanwu town was under the control of Qin Zongquan and Huang Chao. He only occupied Kaifeng and a few small towns nearby, and his big backer, King Chongrong, was thousands of miles away in the river.

With no one to rely on, in such an unfavorable situation, he led these 800 people to fight day and night, only then did he have such a situation.

Today, there are [-] to [-] soldiers in armor, and their subordinates Pang Shigu, Li Tangbin, Ge Congzhou, Zhu Zhen... are all fierce generals who are invincible to thousands of people, and there are even Jiang Xuanhui, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang and other civil servants to assist them.

Zhu Quanzhong was full of pride and ambition, he was not afraid of imperial edicts, and it was not that he had never been a traitor, as long as he won the battle, he would still be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Keyong, it's not that he has never dealt with each other. The soldiers in Hedong are stronger than the horse army, but the infantry is far behind. As long as the planning is proper, there may not be no chance of winning.

Siding, Zhu Quanzhong immediately raised his account and called all civil and military officials to discuss the matter...
