Cheng Wo and Wang Jingchong are from the same village. With this relationship, Cheng Wo is full of firepower and analyzes the blessings and misfortunes for Wang Jingchong: "We are from the same village. I am still just a guest on the staff, but you have made a great career. You are the whole village." hope, do you still want to gain fame and wealth through insidious means? Do you want to kill Hou Yi and then frame him for rebellion? When the new king ascends the throne, there will be intrigues in the court. If anyone is caught, they will attack you. , let alone your wealth, I’m afraid you can’t even save your life!”
Two or three complimentary words enlivened the atmosphere and made Wang Jingchong relax his vigilance, while another sentence touched Wang Jingchong's heart. The reason why Wang Jingchong has not taken action for a long time is because he is worried about this matter. "It's easy to get it", this was Liu Zhiyuan's secret order to him, but the current emperor Liu Chengyou didn't know about it, and he was good at killing court officials - or sensitive people in sensitive areas, and a feudal official in the Kansai region. This was Wang Jingchong Unbearable blame.
Cheng Wo continued: "Besides, Hou Yi also has hundreds of minions and dead soldiers. You have to weigh it carefully. That is to say, we grew up in the same village, so I dare to tell you this. If it were anyone else, who would be right? You are so sincere!"
Wang Jingchong nodded frequently and was very grateful, so he left a gap for Hou Yi. Hou Yi led his men to escape from Fengxiang and headed east to Bianzhou. .
Wang Jingchong looked at the back of Hou Yi who was leaving the city. He always felt that something was wrong and wanted to be quiet. After a moment, Wang Jingchong slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "It's broken!" It was too late to send someone to chase him.
The sky in the east has been eroded by darkness, and the setting sun in the west is about to pass away. Wang Jingchong held his hand against the wall, and the gaps between his fingernails were filled with mud stains, which he had unconsciously picked out from the wall. He was extremely regretful, confused and afraid. For a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed, sighing that this must be a trick of fate. Fengxiang would be his burial place!
But when Hou Yi came to Bianzhou, Liu Chengyou sent someone to question him about the reason for secretly communicating with Hou Shu. Hou Yi replied: "I want to deceive them and catch them all."
Liu Chengyou scoffed at this and sneered in response.
After Hou Yi came to Bianzhou, he was not idle. He bribed people in power such as Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao and others. When Liu Chengyou held a meeting to discuss Hou Yi's issue, all officials rushed to defend Hou Yi and praised his virtues and past achievements. A criticism meeting suddenly turned into a commendation meeting.
As a result, this traitor with foreign connections not only received no punishment, but was promoted to secretary of state and mayor of the capital.
If Hou Yi is right, then Wang Jingchong must be wrong. Slandering Wang Jingchong was one of Hou Yi's ways to save himself. Hou Yi tried his best to frame Wang Jingchong in the central government, saying that he was arrogant, domineering and disobedient. This is what Wang Jingchong was worried about before.
Hou Yi has bribed those in power and has absolute say. Wang Jingchong, who is far away in Fengxiang, has difficulty in explaining his words, and his fear and despair are growing day by day.
At this time, Liu Chengyou sent his confidant Wang Yi to Fengxiang to recruit the former Zhao Kuangzan's tooth soldiers.
First, he entrusted his political opponent (Hou Yi) with important tasks, and then reduced his own armed forces. The more Wang Jingchong thought about it, the more he became afraid, thinking that the imperial court was trying to attack him. So I made two preparations:
The first is to provoke and stimulate the drafted tooth soldiers.
Among these tooth soldiers was Zhao Siwan, who took the lead in tattooing. Because they are the direct troops of Zhao Kuangzan-the direct troops in Hezhong. Zhao Kuangzan had already gone to Bianzhou for an audience. Wang Jingchong hinted at them that the court did not trust them. Zhao Kuangzan was already a piece of cake. The reason why he was not immediately slaughtered was because his direct armed forces, that is, you, were still on the border. Once you fall into a trap, you immediately become lambs to be slaughtered;
Zhao Kuangzan is a prominent public figure, but what about you? Once you are killed, Zhao Kuangzan will no longer pose a threat to the court, so of course the court will keep Zhao Kuangzan and only cut off his direct lineage wings!
Brothers, have a nice journey, I’m here to see you off.
After saying these words, Zhao Siwan and others' faces were ashen. What Wang Jingchong said makes so much sense! We must not wait for death.
The second is to follow the mass line.
Wang Jingchong instructed Fengxiang's mass representatives and military representatives to write a joint letter to the court, to the effect that all our soldiers and civilians in Fengxiang urgently hope that Comrade Wang Jingchong will preside over Fengxiang affairs.
Under Wang Jingchong's operation, the western part of the empire was once again clouded.
Zhao Siwan secretly said to his confidant Chang Yanqing: "Little Taiwei (the honorific title given to Zhao Kuangzan) has fallen into their hands. When we arrived in Bianzhou, we just died together. What do you think we should do?"
Chang Yanqing looked at him and smiled, and said meaningfully: "You understand."
They are all monks in the same temple, except Amitabha. Just do it!
When passing through Chang'an, Chang'an Jiedu deputy envoy An Yougui and inspection envoy Qiao Shouwen went out of the city to greet him. Of course, they were not welcoming Zhao Siwan and others, but Wang Yi, the imperial minister and Liu Chengyou's confidant who was responsible for escorting them.
According to the rules, An Yougui and Qiao Shouwen hosted a banquet at a post station in the suburbs. The envoy responsible for the construction of the military camp built a temporary military camp in the east of the city for the troops to stay, because the troops were not allowed to enter the city at will.
At this time, Zhao Siwan, the general of this group of tooth soldiers, came forward to report that the families of the soldiers were in the city. We planned to go into the city to pick up the family members and live together in a temporary military camp in the east of the city.
These troops were originally Chang'an's tooth soldiers. When Wang Jingchong blocked the Hou Shu army in Ziwu Valley, he recruited them to go with the army and tattooed their faces to mark them to prevent them from escaping. After repelling Li Yangui in Ziwu Valley, Wang Jingchong led them to the west, defeated Zhang Qianzhao at Dashan Pass, and then stationed in Fengxiang together.
So the family members of this tooth soldier were originally in Chang'an City.
An Yougui and Qiao Shouwen believed that Zhao Siwan's proposal was reasonable, so they agreed to the request.
Zhao Siwan and his troops did not have armor or weapons, because they were only mobilized by imperial edict, so not only the guns and ammunition were separated, but also the men and guns. These regulations were all to prevent the soldiers from mutiny midway.
Zhao Siwan entered Chang'an City from the west gate with his unarmed men, launched a sudden attack on the soldiers guarding the city gate, seized their weapons, controlled the city gate, and then captured the armory and took out weapons and armor.
An Yougui and others were shocked to hear the mutiny and fled immediately.
Zhao Siwan immediately took control of the entire Chang'an City, gathered the young and middle-aged men in the city, with a total of more than 4,000 people, and then organized them to reinforce the city walls, repair watchtowers and battlements. In just ten days, the Chang'an city defense system was upgraded and formed A complete combat system.
The situation in the western part of the empire suddenly became tense. At this time, Li Shouzhen, the governor of Hezhong, also raised the rebel flag and openly rebelled. Therefore, in the second month after Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, he faced his test: three towns rebelled in succession.
