When Zhang Zhao established his own dynasty in Jinshan and Daliang in the Western Han Dynasty and spread the message to the world, Meng Chang in Jinguan City was also suffering from a headache.
What gives this Xingtai brother a headache is none other than the group of arrogant soldiers left behind by his father, Meng Zhixiang.
Although six years ago, Meng Chang brutally killed Zhongshu Ling Li Renhan and annihilated his clan, frightening another arrogant veteran Li Zhao to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But this did not have much of a deterrent effect. Instead, the rest of Zhang Ye, Zhao Tingyin and others shared Li Renhan's power and resources, and became more arrogant and lawless.
At this time, Meng Chang had just married the flower core lady Fei. Although the Shu land was rich and extravagant, Meng Chang was still a passionate young man who wanted to make a difference.
The ability may not be very strong, but at least he has the heart to be a wise master. He does not sit on the royal bed, raise thousands of palace maids, buy and spend money like going to a brothel, and he does not use the seven treasures as a drowning device.
At this moment, after receiving the message from Zhang Zhao, Meng Chang was also filled with excitement. He said to the Prime Minister Zhao Jiliang beside him.
"Although Zhang Zhao was born in a noble family and returned to the country from the Eighteen Prefectures, he can be regarded as an outstanding person. Unfortunately, the Zhang family has long since lost its spirit after Hu Chen died a hundred and fifty years ago.
If I were him, I would never call him the Kingdom of Jinshan and Liang of the Western Han Dynasty. I still consider myself a remnant of the great dynasty, holding tens of thousands of cavalry in my hands. Just like Zhang Gui and Lu Guang, I would proclaim myself an emperor and stand on my own, occupying the northwest, in order to control Guanzhong! "
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiliang glanced sideways at Meng Chang, then cupped his hands and said formally.
"This is why His Majesty is the leader of the separatist regime, while King Zhang Liang has the world in mind, and he has the ambition to swallow up the world!"
This sentence made Meng Chang extremely uncomfortable and could only smile awkwardly.
Zhao Jiliang assisted his father and son in helping Meng Zhixiang seize the two rivers, which was a great achievement.
After Meng Zhixiang died of illness, Zhao Jiliang kept secret the mourning and gave full support to put Meng Chang on the throne.
Moreover, he is neither greedy nor abusive and is very loyal. Meng Chang was able to kill Li Renhan and gain a foothold thanks to Zhao Jiliang's assistance.
So even if he scolded Meng Chang, who was just twenty-one years old, to his face, Meng Chang could only apologize.
"Weng Dezhang has never seen King Zhang Liang, so how can we say that he has the ambition to swallow up the world?"
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is the reason why the world is in constant war and military disasters today?" Zhao Jiliang asked loudly.
Meng Chang perked up, I know this well! I'm tired of hearing what people around me say.
"Of course, in the two hundred years since the decline of the great dynasty, no family in the world has the strength to unify the country.
Therefore, we have just been fighting in all directions, and the people are in dire straits. There are very few people in Shu who are as stable as our country. "
Zhao Jiliang shook his head and was silent for a long time before speaking, "If the reason is that no one has the strength to unify, that is true, but it is only an appearance.
The internal reason is simply that since the decline of the dynasty, the imperial court has delegated all local military, political, financial and civil power to one person, the Jiedu Envoy.
Jiedushi relied on the support of the Ya generals below, and the Ya generals were coerced by the small schools below, and the small schools had to win over the Ya soldiers at the bottom.
This resulted in all the benefits of the world being completely controlled by the class of Jieduzhi - Yajiang - Yabing - Xiaoxiao - Wuren.
They have no ability to govern the country, and they can't even get enough of their own wealth. They have no other way but to plunder.
When the situation is at its worst, the Jiedushi is nothing more than a tool for pushing out the Tooth soldiers to help them make money. Once the Jiedushi fails to make money, his life will be in danger.
This cycle goes on and on, and the warriors swell to the sky, with only wealth in their eyes, no loyalty, filial piety and justice, and there is no order in the world, only the handle of the sword. "
Having said this, Zhao Jiliang stood up, dragged his somewhat weak body, and looked at Meng Chang very seriously.
"In the past, Zhu Quanzhong and Emperor Zhuangmiao were all heroes of the world. They were all capable of unifying the world, but they were all defeated by this divided knife.
The position in Luoyang and Bianliang City is not the position of the emperor. It is the position of the greatest military governor in the world!
Therefore, Zhu Quanzhong gave up on himself in his later years, and Zhuang Miao was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to use the actors and servants around him to take over the power of the world's martial arts, and finally ended up tragically dying in the Xingjiao family.
I heard that there is no Jiedu envoy in Liang State, and the governor can only manage the people but not the army.
The King of Liang framed himself with loyalty to the great dynasty, and then framed the hands of the soldiers below with loyalty, so he must have the ambition to end the troubled times.
Therefore, he will not be as self-reliant as your Majesty, Wu, Tang and Han.
He spread the word to the world, took great risks, and made the Lord of Jin lose his face by scolding him. All of this was just to give him a reasonable excuse to win Lingwu and settle the two battles.
For the sake of fame, to dare to do something so extreme and so dangerous is to ask for a lot! "
Meng Chang was also shocked by Zhao Jiliang's words. Because Zhao Jiliang was in Shu, he always had the reputation of Zhang Liang in Shu.
In the past, he formulated a strategy for Meng Zhixiang to defeat Dong Zhang, and also provided suggestions to defeat the later Tang Dynasty. His vision was unparalleled.
Although he was an upright person and often made Meng Chang unhappy with his verbal insults, Meng Chang still knew about his abilities.
Seeing that Zhao Jiliang admired Zhang Zhao so much now, Meng Chang felt frightened.
"If this King of Liang really has such great ambitions as Taibao said, how should we, the Kingdom of Shu, deal with it as it is adjacent to the Kingdom of Liang?"
Zhao Jiliang looked at Meng Chang with admiration. At this time, Meng Chang was still clear-headed and knew how much he weighed, unlike later when he was dazzled by the rich clothes, fine food, BMW and fancy cars.
"I originally supported Your Majesty in sending troops to seize Fengxiang and even Guanzhong. That was because the Lord of Jin was immoral and it was difficult for him to survive. If I enter Guanzhong with elite troops from Shu, he would be helpless.
But now, the king of Liang Kingdom in the north has great ambitions, and Liangzhou and Shuofang cavalry are not enemies that we can fight against.
If I send troops, I will block Liang's way out from the east. On the contrary, whoever puts himself on the chessboard where Liang and Jin compete is absolutely undesirable.
It's better to stick to the sword pavilion and wait for the right time. King Liang may not be able to succeed. Even if he can succeed, it will not take five or eight years.
Your Majesty, if you recuperate and take good care of your soldiers, the land of Shu will become its own sky and it will be able to protect itself. "
Meng Chang nodded slowly, but in his heart he had a different plan than Zhao Jiliang.
Now in the Shu Kingdom, Meng Chang's words are only about 30% effective, and the rest are controlled by this group of veterans.
Now that Zhang Zhao of the Liang Kingdom has risen, shouldn't Meng Chang, who holds such a prosperous and powerful country in his hands, organize his army and put on armor to work hard?
If you can take all the power back to yourself, with the wealth of Shu, you can raise 50,000 elite soldiers. No matter who enters the Central Plains, his face will be judged.
If Zhang Zhao's letter seems to have dropped a stone in the relatively calm waters of Meng Shu, Southern Tang and other countries, it is almost like dropping a bomb in the Central Plains court.
Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, next to the newly built Imperial College.
Since the strict city-city structure of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was broken, the construction of Tokyo City has begun to develop rapidly at a speed that even those in power could not imagine.
Compared with the grandeur and majesty of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the city of Tokyo undoubtedly has a lot more urban fireworks atmosphere.
Today is the birthday of Taichang Cheng, Kaifeng's official Li Gu. A group of civil servants from the Later Jin Dynasty who were close to him gathered at Li Gu's house to celebrate.
It's just that this celebration seemed a bit shabby, the wine was turbid, and the vegetables were ordinary. There was only a roasted chicken in front of each person. It was roasted golden and crispy, and looked quite delicious.
Although the civil servants at this time did not have much salary and low status, they were not so shabby. The biggest reason why they made it so simple was Shi Jingtang's illness.
Ever since Shi Jingtang was humiliated by Yelu Deguang and Zhang Zhao as brothers and had an uncle, the son emperor fell ill.
Not to mention that he was almost fifty years old and still fell off the throne and vomited blood. Even judging from the fact that he had been ill for several months, with good and bad times, it was easy for people to conclude that his days were numbered.
At this time, no matter how high or low a person is, if they can live to be fifty years old, they will be considered dead.
Therefore, when Shi Jingtang was so seriously ill, Li Gu and other civil servants would definitely not dare to hold a grand banquet.
Regardless of whether he will be punished, if one or two arrogant generals are attracted to use this as an excuse to come to blackmail him, that will be troublesome.
During the banquet, although the food and wine were muddy, everyone still drank happily.
The people who attended the party did not hold very high positions.
Liu Tao was just a doctor on the job, Xue Juzheng was just a salt and iron inspector, and brothers Li Zhou and Li Chao were promoted to the Ministry of Works as doctors and middle-ranking officials only after they were qualified.
There is also an unlucky guy named Fan Zhi. Historically, he had a prosperous official career because he hugged Sang Weihan's lap.
But this time, Sang Weihan found out that Fan Zhi had made laws for Zhang Zhao in Hexi, so how could he recommend him as an official.
Not letting Shi Jingtang chop him with a knife would be considered an extra mercy.
"With a cup of wine, a family can live thousands of miles away, but the swallows have no plan to return. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost, and people can't sleep. The generals have white hair and their husbands are weeping."
During the dinner, Li Gu, the host, hit the bowl with chopsticks and sang Zhang Zhao's famous line. Everyone was a leader among civil servants in this era, so they could naturally hear the brilliance of this poem.
"Doctor Li, I heard that although your elder man is young, his poems are like Bai Letian's. Why don't you let him come out and comment on this poem?"
After Li Gu finished singing, he smiled and said to Li Bo, the right doctor.
Li Bo originally had no children, so he adopted his brother Li Chao's son Li Fang as his son.
Although this boy is only fifteen years old, he is already a famous child prodigy in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo. His poems imitate Bai Juyi and have the charm of the Tang Dynasty.
"This kid is very talented and has little knowledge. All the talented people here are here, who is his turn to criticize!"
Li Bo quickly waved his hand and refused. What a joke. This person who wrote the poem made the emperor of Daning Palace so angry that he was bedridden. How could Li Bo dare to let Li Fang come out to criticize.
However, what Li Bo said made Li Fang, who had followed his fathers to see the world, very unconvinced.
He is not yet the veteran who dominated the political arena of the Han, Zhou, Northern and Song dynasties and earned the posthumous title of Wenzheng.
Immediately, the young boy said in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "The lyrics of this song are not only ancient, but also have the charm of this time. The flat and straight lines are very mature. Although I don't know the melody, it has everyone's style.
I just don’t know why the King of Han could write such wonderful lyrics when Hexi’s culture has been exhausted. "
By coincidence, everyone was in a brief moment of silence, and everyone listened to Li Fang's words.
The poem "The Proud Fisherman" that Zhang Zhao plagiarized is, well, the lyrics are good, but everyone thinks it was not written by Zhang Zhao.
Because no one believed that in Hexi, where even a minority of Chinese speakers could be found and there were few scholars in the eighteen states, someone could compose such good lyrics.
In an instant, all eyes fell on Fan Zhi.
Fan Zhi almost wanted to cry without tears. He now regretted coveting the pleasure of Zhang Zhao's Lixian Corporal and coveting Zhang Zhao's wealth, sugar and tea, so he formulated laws suitable for Hexi for Zhang Zhao.
Until now, everyone thinks that he is Zhang Zhao's confidant, at least they are inseparable from it.
As for the poem "Yu Jia Ao", many people blame Fan Zhi, thinking that he ghostwritten it for Zhang Zhao.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! If Fan has the ability to pronounce famous verses through the ages, how come he hasn't produced another one until now."
Fan Zhi has actually explained this many times, but not many people believe it.
"Compared with the poems of this great king, I am actually more curious about why he calls himself the king of heaven? Is it possible that there is really a lack of culture in Hexi and they don't understand the difference between the king and the king of heaven?
But judging from the word "fisherman's pride", there is no such possibility. Brother Derun has been to Hexi. Can you tell me what kind of person this king is? "
Derun is Liu Tao's name. When Shi Jingtang made Zhang Zhao King of Han, he and Shangshu Lu Dao went to deliver the decree.
At this time, Fan Zhi avoided talking, Director Lu had returned home seriously ill, and the one who had the most contact with Zhang Zhao was Liu Tao.
"The Sword Comes"
However, Liu Tao is not Fan Zhi. Fan Zhi stayed in Hexi for more than a year and was marginalized when he came back. He has always been cautious. For fear of being branded as Hexi,
But Liu Tao was different. When he came back, he praised the King of Han in Hexi for his unspeakable loyalty to everyone he met, or said that the Hexi cavalry was far superior to the Khitan. He was afraid that others would not know that he had benefited from Hexi, and even bought a house and land when he came back.
But in this way, people don't think that he has much to do with Hexi. Such an obvious act is obviously just taking money to help promote him.
"You, Li Weizhen, never leave Hexi, but you want to use your sharp tongue to persuade Prince Zhang of Hexi to come to court to plead guilty. If so, someone can be the matchmaker."
This can be said to be a bit bold, but everyone has long been accustomed to Liu Tao's style. Li Gu also smiled and shook his head, but there was a hint of meaning in his smile.
"It's a pity that a certain talent is lacking. If there is really someone who can resolve the grievances between the imperial court and Hexi, it will be a great achievement."
After everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Brothers Li Chao and Li Chao were Li Gu's cronies, so they didn't take it seriously at all. The others, like Xue Juzheng, just thought Li Gu's words today were a bit unusual.
Liu Tao's face was calm, but his heart was pounding. Fan Zhi's face was even more sad, as if he was making some kind of decision.
Everyone kept feasting until late at night. After the discussion about Hexi, Li Gu got a piece of dance music for a female singer from nowhere. Li Ma and others were so happy that they became even more excited. They sang poems and songs one after another, and finally stayed in Li Gu. at home.
However, when arranging for everyone to stay overnight, a servant whispered a few words in Li Gu's ear, so Li Gu directly arranged Liu Tao and Fan Zhi in the east wing away from everyone.
.
.
It was late at night, a little dim light swayed outside the east wing, and then a gentle knock on the door sounded.
But it only took one knock, and it came to an abrupt end, because the door was quickly opened from the inside.
Liu Tao stood at the door neatly dressed in robes. He looked at the black-robed man outside the door and raised his hand, "Is this the Duke of Lu, Feng Situ? Please come in quickly."
The man in black walked into the door and took off the black turban on his head. His face was thin and his beard and hair were a little gray. He was none other than Feng Dao, Duke of Lu, who was currently one of the three great civil servants of the Later Jin Dynasty.
A few traces of astonishment appeared on Feng Dao's face, but it quickly disappeared and he coughed lightly.
"I am assisting you, but I didn't notice that you, Liu Derun, have a great talent. You have neglected your duty!"
"There are so many talents in the world, such as a certain one, like a crucian carp crossing a river, how can one be considered a great talent? But Mr. Dao came in person tonight and wanted to be the emperor in Daning Palace..."
Before Liu Tao finished speaking, Feng Dao had already walked into the room and sat down, while Li Gu was watching at the door himself.
"You don't need to test me, the emperor's holy body is in good health, and God will protect you from any illness!"
Liu Tao chuckled, Feng Dao seemed to say nothing, but he said everything.
He spoke like this, came to him so late, and specifically asked Li Gu to use the excuse of his birthday to convene a large group of people related to Hexi for a banquet and test. There must be something seriously wrong with Shi Jingtang's health, so Feng Dao was in a hurry to do this. .
"What we are talking about today is that you will not recognize anything outside this door. You, Liu Derun, must also understand that you are in my Dajin, and your parents, wife and children are also in Dajin."
Feng Dao didn't like the feeling of being led around very much. As a veteran official whose edges had been worn away by today's world, the premise for him to do anything was to protect himself first.
After sitting down, Feng Dao shook his head, "King of Great Liang, this title is not very good.
The term "Heavenly King" was a nickname for the Emperor of Zhou in the past, but since the First Emperor unified the world, no one has used it anymore.
The person who later became known as the King of Heaven was Fu Jian, King of Qin, Yu Wenjue, King of Zhou in the Northern Dynasties, and even Shi Hu Shi Le, all of whom were barbarians. "
As Feng Dao spoke, his brows furrowed more and more, because not only did he not understand why Zhang Zhao wanted to be called the King of Heaven, but in fact, why did Zhang Zhao suddenly want to stand on his own? He was a little unsure.
Even if this occupies the territory of the Dingnan Army and the Lingwu Army, it can still be discussed. Why is it so fierce?
Liu Tao smiled indifferently, "Since Heavenly King was the title of the Zhou Emperor in the past, why did it become reserved for barbarians? The Emperor's father was a Khitan man, so couldn't he still be the King of China?
The King of Liang is in the northwest, where Dangxiang, Zhuqiang, Shatuo, Uighur, Dadan, Sogdian, Tubo, and Tyuhun ethnic groups are mixed together, just like in the past when the emperor of Zhou, the king of Xia, wanted to change the barbarians into Xia.
It's a pity that I returned to my country with great righteousness, but I didn't expect the emperor of the Central Plains to recognize Di Yi as his father. Even the miscellaneous barbarians in Hexi despised him. How could the king of Liang turn Yi into Xia after being so immoral?
Since the emperor has no virtue, the king of Liang should be the king of heaven and raise the Chinese flag in Liangzhou. "
Feng Daochang took a breath, and he could tell that Zhang Zhao was not pursuing the founding of the country, but fighting for orthodoxy with the Central Plains.
This Heavenly King is not the Diren Heavenly King like Fu Jian, nor the Xianbei Heavenly King like Yu Wenjue, but a Heavenly King like Zhou Tianzi.
"Sophistry! So bold! So cruel!" Even an old fox like Feng Dao was so angry that he was shaking with anger at Zhang Zhao's statement.
"Even if the emperor's father is a Khitan man and has bad conduct, the orthodoxy of the Central Plains is still there, the culture and culture of the Central Plains are gathered together, the capital of Yao and Shun, the emperor's kingly spirit is still here, and Hexi has fallen for a hundred and fifty years. How can we raise the banner of China?"
"Excuse me, Master Ke Dao. Shi Jingtang was born in a Sogdian family. If Zhu Xie's family in the former Tang Dynasty was canonized by a great dynasty, it could barely be called a great dynasty clan, and it still looked like a king of China.
But Shi Jingtang was a rebellious minister, his father was a Khitan, and he betrayed his country to become the emperor. What kind of king of China was he?
If four generations of our lord have not forgotten their homeland, surrounded by barbarians and protected the Han culture, but cannot raise the Chinese flag, why should Shi Jingtang be the emperor of China? "
Liu Tao snarled at Feng Dao unceremoniously, and Feng Dao was so angry that his face turned red. He gasped and looked at Liu Tao.
"If you want to put it this way, Li Min claims to be a member of the Great Dynasty clan, and Qian Yuanguan has been a Chinese for generations. Which one of them is not more orthodox than King Zhang?
If we want to uphold the Chinese Taoist tradition, none of them is more suitable than King Zhang! "
"Indeed!" Liu Tao nodded in agreement.
"But Li Min in the Wu and Tang Dynasties was no more than a farm servant. He only wanted to protect himself and had no ambition to make progress. The soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty could only defend themselves. How could they pacify the North without cavalry?
Qian Yue's country is small and narrow, so what can he do to uphold the Chinese orthodoxy? Only King Liang is both civil and military! "
When Feng Dao heard Liu Tao's fallacies, his head hurt. He never expected that Liu Tao would be so arrogant.
Born in Tokyo, facing him, the most favored civil servant around Shi Jingtang, he still dared to say such treasonous words.
But just as he was about to refute, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why did Liu Tao want to tell him this?
Yu Liutao argued that these words were not the purpose of his visit today.
He, Feng Dao, came to explore the path for Shi Chonggui because he knew that Shi Jingtang was indeed going to die soon. He was not here to argue about orthodoxy.
Speaking of which, Shi Jingtang was also pitiful. During the time when he was so angry that he was bedridden, Feng Dao, Li Gu and others had long been recruited by Shi Chonggui.
The reason was that Shi Jingtang was so whimsical that he wanted to pass the seat to Shi Chongrui, who was only two years old, instead of Shi Chonggui.
This is simply the most outrageous thing in the world. Shi Jingtang only ascended the throne after betraying his country and seeking glory. For thousands of years, there has been no one who has been more unfair than him.
Now to think of passing the position to two-year-old Shi Chongrui in such troubled times is simply crazy.
Therefore, even if Feng Dao and other civil servants were re-employed by Shi Jingtang, they would immediately turn to Shi Chonggui.
Because if there is another military rebellion, the most unlucky people will be civil servants like them who seem to have power but actually have no power, but they make the military think they are very rich.
After Feng Dao discovered that something was wrong, Liu Tao's attitude quickly softened. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Feng Dao.
"Precisely because the King of Liang came from Hexi, he did not have the same temperament as other warriors in the world. When a certain person arrives in Liangzhou, he will have the special experience of having the King of Liang rest in his arms.
Your Majesty's literary talent is better than anyone in the world. He is especially good at poetry and prose, and he also knows the importance of promoting literature and education.
A year ago, all the prefectures in Hexi had complete state schools, and five or six out of ten Confucian scholars from Guanzhong were teaching in Hexi to make a living.
Moreover, there is no such thing as military officials treating civil servants as slaves. After Fan Wensu formulated the laws for Hexi, all the scholars and common people followed them regardless of their status. Even the King of Liang was no exception. His morale was high, like the rising sun. How could he not be admired?
If we, the civil servants, no longer want to fall prey to pigs and dogs, only Prince Liang can rely on. "
Feng Dao didn't speak. He silently read Zhang Zhao's autographed letter to him, then put it on the oil lamp and burned it to ashes.
In this letter, Feng Dao was not moved by the official appointments, promises, and win-wins. Only Zhang Zhao was certain that Shi Jingtang was not going to die soon, which made him very frightened.
Feng Dao thought about it all and suddenly figured out many problems.
Why did Zhang Zhao react so violently? Not only did he stand up for himself, he also wanted to spread the word to the world to disgrace Shi Jingtang. All of this was to push Shi Jingtang's face into the ground and beat him repeatedly.
Could it be that since he and the Khitan leader were brothers, his biggest idea was to piss off Shi Jingtang to death?
Feng Dao shook his head. Don't think too much about such conspiracy theories. Once you fall into it, it will affect your judgment.
"Since King Zhang has this idea, things have reached this point. The king has also called himself the King of Heaven and established a country and an ancestral temple. There is no turning back. It seems that I came here in vain."
Feng Dao came today to explore the way for Shi Chonggui, to see if he could bring Zhang Zhao back, at least to find out what Zhang Zhao was thinking, and to take the opportunity to assess whether there was any danger in Guanzhong.
Now that Zhang Zhao has the intention to fight for the Chinese orthodoxy, there is nothing to talk about with Shi Chonggui. Let's see the truth on the battlefield!
Liu Tao looked at Feng strangely and said: "But how can Mr. Dao say that there is no room for change?
The king sent a message to the world, scolding the Lord of Jin for his immorality and shamelessness, but he did not say that Jin's immorality was unreasonable!
If the successor can comply with the people's wishes and no longer serve the Khitan as his father, who can say that he is immoral? "
Feng Dao was about to leave, but when he heard Liu Tao's words, he suddenly turned around, his eyes piercing Liu Tao like lightning.
At this moment, Feng Dao also figured out what he had not figured out in the end.
It turned out that after Zhang Zhao angrily scolded Shi Jingtang, he wanted to return to his righteousness again and tempted King Zheng Shi Chonggui to adopt a hostile attitude towards the Khitan.
The emperor's sword of the Jin State has only one strike capability, and it can either attack the Khitan to the northeast or attack the Liang Kingdom to the northwest. Zhang Zhao is here again to divert disaster to the Khitan.
After that, if the Jin State defeated the Khitan, he would use his identity as the King of Heaven and the younger brother of the Khitan leader to recruit the remaining Khitan troops.
If the Khitans were victorious, he would uphold his Taoism, respect the king and fight off the barbarians, revive China, and drive the Khitans out of the Central Plains to achieve hegemony.
"The King of Liang is like this, and wars are starting again in the world. I don't know how many people will have their families destroyed because of this!" Feng Dao was really scared at this moment.
Liu Tao snorted softly, "If it weren't for my lord, King Liang, wouldn't the Khitans be greedy for the land in the Central Plains and continue to move south? Wouldn't Jing Yanguang and others instigate King Zheng to chase the Khitans north?
Even the emperor who was about to die in the Daning Palace, didn't he use the shame of Bai Deng, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the white horse alliance of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to motivate himself, hoping that one day he could avenge his shame? "
After hearing this, Feng Dao had nothing to say and walked out silently, while Liu Tao smiled faintly.
Feng Kedao has no position at all. No one knows how to protect himself wisely like him, and he certainly does not dare to sabotage his own plan.
.
.
The next day, at dawn, Liu Tao rushed out of Li Gu's house.
After riding a horse around the city several times to make sure there were no followers, he walked into the Daxiangguo Temple. When he came out again, he had already entered the Cai River through a secret passage.
There are countless small boats on the Cai River, specially transporting vegetables into the city, and the number of people coming and going is the most complicated.
After Liu Tao entered a small boat with a small red lacquered oil lamp, Cai River suddenly became lively.
Various large ships transporting rice grains and small boats selling vegetables crowded the small boat in the middle.
In the boat, a strong man with obvious Sogdian characteristics was sitting in the middle. Liu Tao and the strong man were sitting opposite each other.
"Feng Dao has taken the bait, and the remaining people are responsible for coercing him. It's just my father, wife, and children. I also ask Da Langjun to send them out of the city as soon as possible.
Although the king did not allow the bribery of Jing Yanguang, Tokyo was thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, so Dalangjun was still asked to make the decision. When the king asked about the crime, he said that Liu Derun was the one who advocated it. "
Zhang Liecheng nodded, "Your Majesty has the world in mind and is unwilling to bribe Jing Yanguang to anger the Khitan. This is the kindness of a king.
But the Khitan will go south sooner or later. Brother Derun and I will bear this infamy together. Your parents, wife and children can leave for Liangzhou at the latest tonight. "
After getting Zhang Liecheng's promise, Liu Tao left quickly without delay.
Zhang Liecheng looked at the few strong men around him and said that he looked like a local local snake in Tokyo.
"The king once said that Fan Zhi has the talent of a prime minister. Tonight you send him and his whole family away with Liu Tao's family papers.
Inform the insiders in Daning Palace to find out the health status of No. 1, and everyone should be on alert! "
