The moon is full like a mirror.
In the Ganlu Palace, the prime ministers don't plan to leave the palace tonight.
"Li Ji has already disbanded the soldiers and horses under the city of Guangzhou."
"Zhang Wenyuan is leading an army of 160,000 to Hanjing."
"The 80,000 troops of the eldest princess, Cheng Yanjin, and Su Dingfang have entered Liangzhou."
These news are worrying.
Some people even thought that if they held on a little longer, maybe Li Ji would capture Guangzhou.
Of course, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji don't think so, what about the capture of Guangzhou, it will not change the overall situation, it will only make the infighting more cruel.
He always believes that this palace change is saving the Tang Dynasty.
But now, the situation is still out of control.
"What is Zhang Chao going to do, bringing so many troops into Beijing" The eldest grandson Wuji was dissatisfied.
"It's a bit much."
Fang Xuanling also said.
But at this time, Zhang Chao is beyond their control.
Zhang Chao entered Beijing with so many large troops, and it seemed that he wanted to overwhelm the Hanjing court and gain absolute control.
"Can you send a flying letter to Wei Zheng, let Wei Zheng talk to the prince and Zhang Chao, and ask him not to bring so many troops into Beijing.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, I think it is completely possible to let the soldiers go home, and Zhang Chao can leave 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to protect His Highness's safety.
When I arrived in Hanjing, there were also soldiers from the north and south. ” Du Yan said with a smile, "It is precisely because of this Hanjing and the soldiers of the North and South Ya that Zhang Chao wants to bring a large army."
This time, I don't think Zhang Chao will back down.
Look at Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang, they have obviously received the order we sent to disband their soldiers and horses. ” However, not only did they not disband their troops and horses, but they also forcibly attacked Liangzhou.
As a result, Li Daozong and He Li of Liangzhou did not dare to go to war now, and finally they could only let them into the city, in fact, Cheng Yanjin handed over the weapons of Li Daozong and their 30,000 troops, which was equivalent to capturing them. ” Li Daozong has the ability to fight, but sometimes he is very speculative.
Knowing that there was a palace change in Hanjing, the emperor was under house arrest, and the Hanjing court wanted to welcome the prince into the palace, and also knew that the emperor was gone.
After talking with Cheng Yanjin and them a few times, but they couldn't get the result, they finally took the initiative to open the city and let Cheng Yanjin enter the city, and even tens of thousands of horses, and let them disarm if they didn't resist.
This is simply annoying for the prime ministers of Hanjing.
But that's just the way it is.
When the emperor shouted that he was going to fight Zhang Chao, the Tang army everywhere had little fighting spirit, let alone now.
Now the eldest grandson Wuji is extremely worried that Zhang Chao is entering Beijing with a large army, which is to engage in a speech.
If he wants to come to a purge, who can resist "Zhang Chao must be restricted, he must not be allowed to bring too many troops into Beijing, and he must immediately ask the prince to give Cheng Yanjin an order to withdraw from Liangzhou and not to go east.
Li Daozong's 30,000 soldiers and horses also had to return the equipment. ” Jiangzhou.
Zhang Chao's fleet moved very fast, and had already sailed to Jiangzhou, Jiangxi, and entered Jiangzhou for a short supply.
He also met Wei Zheng who was heading south in Jiangzhou.
Wei Zheng's beard is gray, and he is thinner.
The two in-laws met and were embarrassed.
"When you left Beijing at the beginning of the year, I really didn't expect that so many things would happen after that."
Zhang Chao replied with a smile, "Who said it wasn't, Gong Wei lost a lot of weight, I heard that you scolded Your Majesty as a faint monarch and squatted in Dali Temple for several months." ” "If I can wake up, I don't mind squatting in Dali Temple for a few more months.
It's a pity, it's a pity."
Wei Zheng was a little lonely, in fact, he used to like Li Shimin, one of the few enlightened monarchs who could restrain himself and accept advice.
At the time of the change of Emperor Xuanwumen, the Tang Dynasty had just dominated the world, with internal and external troubles, the treasury was empty, and the people were poor.
It was Li Shimin, the emperor who humbly accepted advice, appointed the wise, insisted on implementing the new policy, greatly promoting industry and commerce, and defeated the Turks and Tuyuhun to the outside world, so that the Tang Dynasty would not have border troubles for more than ten years.
Daxing imperial examination, the selection of sages, Daxing industry and commerce, and the treasury Dafeng.
This is the scene of Zhenguan ruling the world, and even reaching the prosperous age.
The imperial court has an annual income of more than 80 million yuan, and the population of the world is more than 60 million.
What a beautiful sight, Wei Zheng was even proud to have assisted such a king.
But who would have thought that these things would eventually happen.
"Wenyuan, I still don't understand why you want to train a private army in Nanyang."

"I don't have the heart to rebel, and this private army didn't think of taking the initiative to transfer back to the Central Plains.
The world is so big, just one Nanyang is endless.
The private army of Nanyang is just a last resort to protect myself because it threatens His Majesty's suspicion of me.
Originally, I wanted to build a colony in the South Seas. ” Wei Zheng shook his head.
No matter what, he felt that Zhang Chao had done something wrong, and his 50,000 private troops directly led to the emperor's intolerance of him, and even the intolerance of the crown prince.
"Gong Wei, in fact, even if there were no 50,000 private troops I trained, do you think these things would not happen now, no, they would have happened.
When His Majesty first succeeded to the throne, the world withered, and there were internal and external troubles.
His Majesty boldly implemented the new policy, greatly promoted industry and commerce, and even did not hesitate to implement a feudal system for meritorious soldiers. ” It is precisely by virtue of these that Datang quickly became rich and powerful, expanding its territory and becoming invincible.
However, at the same time that the Tang Dynasty became stronger, the emerging industrial and commercial bourgeoisie also formed a large interest class, not to mention, after the feudal nobles owned the territory, a more powerful military aristocratic group was formed. ” It can be said that these two groups, including the rise of the emerging Shu landlord and scholar group, have risen with the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
These three major groups are like the troika of Datang, they are running desperately, which drives Datang to run so fast and become so strong. ” "But His Majesty now regards these three forces as a threat, and he does not want to hold a council, and even a representative of the lord and nobility like me has always been uneasy.
And it just so happened that the prince won everyone's support, so civil strife broke out. ” "Duke Wei, why do you say that after the prince raised the flag and raised the army this time, the road went so smoothly, and he could get the support of so many people, and there was even no resistance along the way, why is it because His Royal Highness represents the interests of all strata, and His Majesty wants to oppose what he once supported, and he wants to turn his head to deal with the various strata who helped him lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity and strength together, do you think this is possible?"
The former Guanlong nobles of the Tang Dynasty have indeed weakened, but the emerging feudal nobles are even stronger.
The former Kwantung and Jiangnan clans have also weakened, but the emerging Shu landlord and imperial examination scholar class is also emerging and powerful.
In addition, it is easy to be overlooked, but in fact, the emerging industrial and commercial capitalist class, which is very strong, and the interests of these people are tied to Datang.
It was Datang's New Deal that created them, and it was they who made Datang.
Isn't it a joke that Li Shimin wants to deal with the two major groups of industrial and commercial capitalists and military aristocrats at once among these three major groups?
The aristocrats held the soldiers, and the capitalists held the money.
There is no money and no soldiers, who to fight, who to fight.
Even now, many central and important members of the imperial court, local officials, are also members of the feudal aristocracy.
To put it bluntly, the emperor wanted to take over the power of these major classes because his imperial power was threatened, and he didn't want them to have too much power, so as to strengthen the control of the Li family.
But when the power is released and you want to take it back, how can it be so easy.
If power had not been delegated back then, the productive forces would not have been liberated.
The Tang Dynasty would not have become rich and powerful so quickly, nor would it have been possible to destroy the Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, Linyi, etc. so quickly.
It's all mutually reinforcing.
Wei Zheng listened and was silent for a long time.
"I'm old."
"Duke Wei, in fact, don't be discouraged, Your Majesty has taken everyone to walk a long way on the Kangzhuang Avenue, and now you have walked a fork in the road.
But now we have a new leader, and with the Prince, we will return to the main road and move on.
In the future, Datang will be even more brilliant" "Really," Wei Zheng asked.
"In the future, it can really be stronger, instead of endless infighting and wars" "Of course not, I, Zhang Chao, as the lord of the Tang Dynasty, swear to guard the Tang Dynasty.
If anyone dares to offend Tang, I will defend it with the sword in my hand. ” Wei Zheng looked at Zhang Chao, "Yes, in that case, please consider the overall situation and don't bring so many soldiers and horses into Beijing."
More than 200,000 troops, Wen Yuan, what do you want to do to enter Beijing and kill the people of Guanghanjing?"
"Are you going to bring troops into Beijing, create chaos or panic" Zhang Chao didn't expect that Wei Zheng went around in a circle and was actually waiting for him here.
"Gong Wei, the current situation is very delicate.
I am very grateful and admire the efforts and contributions made by all of you in Hanjing for the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty.
But I don't want Datang to continue to be chaotic, and neither does His Royal Highness the Prince.
We must bring order out of order, and we must restore order quickly. ” "That's right, but is it necessary to bring so many troops?"
"For the safety of His Highness, and for the needs of the situation.
If we don't bring a large army into Beijing, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to restore order for a long time. ” Wei Zheng didn't mention it, and Zhang Chao knew in his heart what the current situation was.
Cheng Qian is about to succeed to the throne as the Son of Heaven, but Cheng Qian is still young.
To put it bluntly, for a long time to come, it will not be the cadres who will really control the government, but the elders.
Who is the patriarch Of course, it is Zhang Chao, Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and other veterans.
For a long time to come, it will be senatorial politics, or oligarchy.
This kind of politics has always happened in history.
Generally, the new monarch succeeds to the throne at a young age, and at this time the elder minister is assisted by the minister.

In most cases, the veteran ministers of the auxiliary government will not be monolithic, they will fight inwardly, even fiercely.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Huo Guang and others as auxiliary ministers on his deathbed, for example, Li Shimin elected the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang as auxiliary ministers in history, as well as Ao Bai and others selected by Kangxi's father, and then Xianfeng chose eight auxiliary ministers for his son.
The auxiliary ministers of these dynasties finally broke out into fierce infighting, and there were even new monarchs who later fought with the elders.
In history, Li Zhi, in the early stage after succeeding to the throne, was ruled by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, and the elders fought among themselves.
Later, Li Zhi and Wu fought with the eldest grandson and other elders, and in the end, Li Zhi got the support of Li Ji and others, and killed his uncle Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang and other elders.
Senator politics is very dangerous, because each has a high prestige, and there is no emperor with enough prestige to suppress it.
Zhang Chao has made up his mind that he will become prime minister in Beijing this time.
It's not that he is in love with power, but the basic systems of the Tang Dynasty, such as the feudal system, the imperial examination system, and even the tax law, are all controlled by the center of the imperial court.
If there is no one in charge of the center, these systems may also be abolished and changed.
Even if Zhang Chao wants to implement more new policies, someone must speak in the center to take charge.
Maybe when the situation stabilizes and a new balance is established, Zhang Chao will leave the center, but at this time, he will definitely not leave.
If he wants to compete for control with the elders such as the eldest grandson Wuji, he must lead troops into Beijing. t1706231537:
