Chapter 1287: King Zhao of Anguo, Admiral Tiance


September 19, the tenth day after the Xuanwu Gate.

The emperor issued an edict in His Royal Highness Ganlu, abolishing the position of Prince Li Zhi, demoting him to the king of Jin, and re-establishing Chengqian as the crown prince.

On September 20, the emperor issued another edict, ordering the crown prince to take charge of the country.

On the 21st, the emperor issued another edict, with Zhang Chao as the Zhongshu Order, Fang Xuanling as the Servant, the eldest grandson Wuji as the Shangshu Order, and Ma Zhou as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Ezhou, Jiangxia.

Zong Zhengqing Li Shenfu, who was stationed in Jiangxia, led the civil and military forces out of the city to greet the prince.

Li Shenfu is the younger brother of Li Shentong, the cousin of Gaozu Li Yuan, and the cousin of Chengqian, and the senior in the royal family is very high, especially after the death of Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, Li Shimin entrusted him with the important task of Zong Zhengqing.

This time, Li Daozong guarded Hanzhong, and Li Shenfu guarded Jiangxia. 30,000 soldiers and horses guarded Jiangxia, Ezhou, but at this time, Chengqian became the prince of the prison country, and these 30,000 soldiers and horses were naturally friends rather than enemies.

Zhang Chao didn't let Cheng Qian rush into the city, and he didn't even plan to enter the city.

A boat in the middle of the river outside Jiangxia City.

Zhang Chao and Cheng Qian met with Jiangxia's civil and military generals.

"Xiangyi County Prince, Jiangxia's soldiers and horses, please hand them over."

After the meeting, Zhang Chao spoke very unceremoniously directly.

Li Shenfu was a little hesitant, he received a letter from the eldest grandson Wuji, who asked him to continue to control Jiangxia's 30,000 soldiers and horses.

But now Zhang Chao directly reached out and asked, "This" Zhang Chao said unceremoniously, "This is the order of the prince of the prison country, does the county prince still have to resist the decree?"

His voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and a group of guards on the deck were already looking in unison, their hands pressed to the hilt of their swords.

This murderous aura made Li Shenfu's face change slightly, and he didn't dare to say more.

At present, the generals of Jiangxia have handed over their military power, and Zhang Chao sent his southern army generals to take over the camps.

The reception went very smoothly, there were Jiangxia generals with people over, and there was the prince's decree.

After receiving these 30,000 horses, Zhang Chao unceremoniously broke them up, and then dispersed them into the armies of the Southern Army.

After stopping at Jiangxia City for three days, Zhang Chao left an army of 20,000 men to garrison Jiangxia, and the fleet continued north.

Han Jing, the eldest grandson Wuji received the news and blew his beard angrily at home and stared.

What I was most worried about, I said.

Zhang Chao was really so shameless and openly snatched military power.

"Chong'er."

"Father" The eldest grandson Wuji asked his son, "How have the Northern Ya armies mastered it recently?"

"The people of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya are panicking."

"We have to find a way to win over the generals of the forbidden army, Zhang Chao is about to enter Beijing, we have to guard against him.

The Beiya Forbidden Army is the only capital of our eldest grandson's family. ” Dad, Zhang Chao doesn't dare to mess around."

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted, "What else does Zhang Chao dare not mess around with to see his actions in Jiangxia, his appearance is very ugly, I am very worried, Zhang Chao will want to control the government."

Cheng Qian is still young and has little experience, so we have to help him.

We can't let the power of the court fall into the hands of Zhang Chao."

"It's a pity that the Nanya Zhujun is now in Li Jing's hands, but Li Jing has a very good relationship with Zhang Chao.

Hey," the eldest grandson sighed.

On the day of Xuanwu Gate, the eldest grandson Wuji quickly arranged for the people of the eldest grandson's family to take over the armies of the Beiya Forbidden Army, which can be regarded as early preparations, but it was still not enough.

Xiangyang is stationed in the naval barracks of the forbidden army in the north of the imperial court, and there are also government soldiers in the south of the ya, where there are 50,000 horses, which are assembled to march south, and now, it is estimated that this army of soldiers and horses will be eaten by Zhang Chao again.

Ponder for a night.

The eldest grandson Wuji met Zhang Gongjin the next day.

This was originally a general of the forbidden army, and Xuanwumen ran fast that day, and no one pursued him later, but he has been excluded from the forbidden army.

"General Zhang."

"Wei Guogong."

The two of them were a little embarrassed when they met.

"I'll get straight to the point, the imperial court plans to transfer you to Xiangyang and be responsible for the command of the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang."

Zhang Gongjin was surprised.

At this time, won't Xiangyang's soldiers be disbanded?

"When you go to Xiangyang, you only have one task, control this army and horses, and don't let Zhang Chao seize the military power."

Zhang Gongjin's face changed, and he couldn't imagine that the eldest grandson Wuji asked him to go to Xiangyang, it was such a task.

He also knew that Zhang Chao had just incorporated Jiangxia's 30,000 soldiers and horses.

"Duke Wei, now that the prince is in charge of the country, Zhang Chao is the Zhongshu Order, and then the prince will issue an order to let me hand over the military power, and I can do anything about it, and ask Duke Wei to ask Gao Ming."

Zhang Gongjin doesn't plan to go against Zhang Chao, everyone knows that Zhang Chao is a big winner now.

The eldest grandson Wuji narrowed his eyes, but Zhang Gongjin looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Back in the house, the eldest grandson Wuji found his uncle eldest grandson Shunde.

The eldest grandson is not only the elder of the family, but also has a high reputation in the imperial court, and at this time, only his own people believe it.

"Let me go to Xiangyang" The eldest grandson Shunde was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Auxiliary, uncle understands your thoughts, but at the moment, we can't even hold Beiya, let alone Xiangyang's soldiers."

Zhang Chao will not be willing, and other ministers may not support it. ” "If you want to contain Zhang Chao, this means will not work, you have to unite with other ministers in the court to suppress him, and force will not work."

"But there are no soldiers and horses in hand, how to fight with Zhang Chao, he can lift the table at any time."

The eldest grandson Wuji saw through the essence.

This time Zhang Chao can win, isn't it because he has soldiers.

Zhang Chao didn't dare to flip the table at will, he also had to abide by some rules.

In the final analysis, Zhang Chao is still Tang Chen, he doesn't dare to stand on his own, and not many people will sit back and watch him usurp the Tang Dynasty's self-reliance.

That's the bottom line, so we can fight him in this rule.

But if we go to fight for military power, this is the first to not talk about the rules, if Zhang Chao also does not talk about the rules, then we will definitely not be able to fight him. ” The eldest grandson Shunde followed Li Yuan early at the beginning, which was also an experience.

He knew that his nephew was a little too anxious, and he was in a hurry. actually wants to compete with Zhang Chao for military power, can this be done?

"Don't worry about the soldiers in Xiangyang, we can't really hold the soldiers in Beiya, while Zhang Chao hasn't entered Beijing yet, hurry up and discuss with Fang Xiang.

I believe that in fact, the ministers of the DPRK and China are also unwilling to see Zhang Chao's family dominating and holding the world's soldiers and horses. ” Xiangyang.

The two armies of Zhang Chao and the eldest princess met under the city of Xiangyang.

The eldest princess came from Hanzhong and led 100,000 troops.

Zhang Chao came from Jiangnan and already had 200,000 troops at this time.

Under the city of Xiangyang, it is like a huge barracks.

This former temporary capital, an important town in Jianghan, does not have the panic of dark clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

The guards of Xiangyang City, Yin Kaishan and Duan Zhixuan, opened the city gate early, and they even took the initiative to hand over the command of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang.

The people of Xiangyang also looked forward to the prince's northward journey, and the merchants and ordinary people took the initiative to come to the military camp to comfort the army and send all kinds of goods.

Some are just baskets of eggs, and some are sent with vegetables and fish.

The barracks are in good order, and the soldiers and civilians are happy.

Xiangyang, Yuliangzhou, the original temporary palace city.

Here Chengqian met with the generals and officials of the Northwest Army and the Xiangyang Army.

"Gu added the title of Taishi, Zhao Wangchao as the king of Anguo Zhao, and crowned the eldest princess of Pingyang as the princess of Zhenguo.

Crowned Ma Zhou as the king of Nanyang County, Situ" "Add Luo Shixin as the king of Jincheng County, Shan Xiongxin as the king of Lingwu County, and Niu Jinda as the king of Shuofang County" "Zhang Tiegun was crowned as the king of Liaoxi County, and Zhang Zhongjian was named the king of Nanhai County" "Crowning Li Jing as the King of Feng Yijun" "Add Fang Xuanling as the king of Xiangcheng County, add the eldest grandson Wuji as the king of Shangdang County, add Du Yan as the king of Tianshui County, Li Junxian as the king of Beidi County, and Qingluan as the king of Qinghai County" Temple.

The chamberlain read the prince's decree aloud.

Twelve county kings were sealed in one go.

If you add the eight kings who were previously sealed, the number of kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty has suddenly increased to twenty.

One prince, nineteen county kings.

But the most amazing thing is the crown prince's sealing of Zhang Chao and the eldest princess of Pingyang.

Zhang Chao was crowned King Zhao of Anguo, and the eldest princess was crowned as the eldest princess of Zhenguo.

Among the twelve county kings who were crowned, they were also dominated by the Southern Army this time, Ma Zhou, Zhang Zhongjian, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Zhang Tiegun, Qingluan, and seven people were crowned kings.

At the same time, the crown prince also took care of Hanjing's side.

Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Du Yan, Li Jing, these four leaders of the Xuanwu Gate were also crowned kings, and Li Junxian, who played a key role in guarding the Xuanwu Gate during the palace change, was also lucky to be crowned king.

It turned out that the eight kings of the imperial court, Zhang Chao, King of Zhao, Qin Qiong, King of Qijun, Cheng Yanjin, King of Lujun, Su Dingfang, King of Jiangjun, and Guo Xiaoke, King of Shujun, these five people were also from the camp of the Southern Army.

Wei Chi Gong, the king of Wei County, Li Ji, the king of Dongjun, and Qu Tutong, the king of Ba County, these three are on the emperor's side this time.

Counting, there are now twenty kings with different surnames, of which there are twelve on Zhang Chao's side and only eight over there.

Cheng Qian waited for the attendant to finish reading.

Lang said, "Taishi has the merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty, although this time he has the title of Anguo, it is really difficult to reward King Zhao for his merit."

The lone general followed the example of Gaozu in the past to seal His Majesty, and then set up the Tiance Mansion, and awarded the title of King Zhao of Anguo as the general of Tiance, and he could open the mansion and place his staff.

Admiral Tiance is only below the three divisions, above the three dukes, the prime minister, and the kings.

Tiance Mansion leads the world's soldiers and horses" As soon as these words came out, the temple exclaimed.

Even Zhang Chao was surprised.

Previously, Cheng Qian asked himself about the matter of sealing the king.

Zhang Chao also agreed to seal a few kings, even after Wu Zetian was changed by the palace in history, didn't the five ministers all add prime ministers and give them the title of county king.

Last time, King Qin, the court sealed eight kings, and this time, a few were also sealed, both sides were sealed, and they were also rewarded heroes.

Merit is rewarded.

But just now, Cheng Qian named Zhang Chao as the king of Anguo Zhao and Li Xiuning as the princess of the town state, and this was indeed not discussed with him.

Now Cheng Qian has enlarged his move again and directly named him the general of Tiance.

This, over. is very excessive, and there is even a suspicion of killing, Zhang Chao at this time, it is not appropriate to accept the title of King Zhao of Anguo, let alone Admiral Tiance.

Only Li Shimin served as the general of Tiance, and later became the emperor.

This is simply the same as Jia Jiuxi being subjected to Huang Yue, and it will be extremely hateful.

Zhang Chao stepped forward with an arrow.

"Your Highness, how can you dare to accept this reward, please take it back."

Pingyang also came out, "Please take back your highness." ” Cheng Yanjin, Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou and others also knew that this was a bad thing, and hurriedly went out to ask the prince to recover his life. t1706231537:
