At the top of the city of Xishoujiang City, an armored general hurriedly walked up with heavy steps and reported to Zhang Renyuan who was standing there looking at the scenery: Report to the Grand Chief Executive, something happened in Lingzhou, and the soldiers of Shangjun rushed to the city guards without fighting. King Size burned himself to death in his mansion, and his wife and children were all abducted!
What!Zhang Renyuan looked at the general in shock, his eyes wide open.
The general lowered his head and said: The Chief of Lingzhou reported that the officials and generals in the city were in a state of turmoil, and they were mostly interested in the pseudo-political policy of Chang'an. Please send troops to arrest them to warn others.
Zhang Renyuan frowned, and after hearing this, he asked again: Did the official army break through Lingzhou without guarding the fortifications, and did not arrest local officials, and the company commander Shi let it go?
It was precisely that the soldiers of Shangjun suddenly appeared in Lingzhou and seized the city without fighting. When they heard that the prince was killed, they captured his wife and children and withdrew their troops eastward.
Zhang Renyuan said: Their target is King Size Ah... I should have thought that Lingzhou is not safe, and only the troops from the three surrendered cities are more reliable, but I didn't expect that the government army would take Lingzhou in just a few days.
He looked sad, I miscalculated...
After a while, a group of generals yelled from the underworld to see General Zhang, and came to the top of the city one after another.
When the generals heard that Li Yixun was forced to death, someone suggested: The traitor slaughtered the royal family as if he was poisonous scorpion. We attacked Chang'an with the name of clearing the emperor!
Another general said: Didn’t the Turkic envoy say that a few days ago, as long as we deliver the second batch of military rations and turn on and switch to let them go south, Mochu Khan can lead 200,000 cavalry to go south. We will receive the troops from the city and join forces with them, and recruit warriors from all over the place. The coalition forces will go south and go straight to Chang'an to clarify the false ministers and traitors around Your Majesty and build a great achievement!
But Zhang Renyuan did not immediately become angry and wanted to make a decision, and he remained silent.
Perhaps it was because Li Yixun's death had a great impact on him.
He also knew that the situation was not as simple as the military generals said. Although most of the generals in the Three Rescue City were promoted by him during his defense of the Turkic Republic, it was difficult to guarantee that ordinary soldiers and low-level generals were willing to work hard with him. At the same time, it was not so cheap to release Turkic soldiers into the pass. The Turkic people verbally said it was righteous, and they regarded themselves as the ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were willing to help the Li clan members regain their powers and uphold justice. But would these barbarians sacrifice for the so-called righteousness to do things that were not good?
Zhang Renyuan didn't believe that such a thing was happening. If the Turks were allowed to enter the pass, it would be difficult to stop such a thing as a soldier burning, killing, looting and ravaging the place. They might have to take the opportunity to go south to occupy a large area of land. After all, the north is bitter and cold, and the nomads want to advance south when they sharpen their heads.
Seeing that Zhang Ren was willing to hesitate, the aide advised: The manifesto has been issued. Now the matter is in trouble, the minister will never let us go. He will do it all the time. Although King Size cannot order all the troops, as the generals said, we can still go to the army in the name of clearing the king!At this time, it is advisable to pay attention to the morale of the army. Those who have evil words to deceive the public and bewitch people’s hearts will be severely punished!
Zhang Renyuan looked back at everyone and said, "I will notify the Turkic envoys to see me tomorrow, and I will explore their words first."
……
At that time, Zhang Chongsi arrested Li Yixun's family and returned to Shangjun, barely completing his mission. Although the military order asked him to arrest Li Yixun, Li Yixun burned himself to death, and it was no wonder that Zhang Chongsi was not afraid.
Zhang Chongsi stood at the gate of the county magistrate Wang Dai's mansion, bent and waited for the news inside, and didn't even dare to enter the door.
Of course, he was not so respectful to Wang County Governor. The Tang Dynasty's atmosphere of emphasizing culture and over military affairs was not as serious as that of Song Ming, because the vigilance of those in power towards military generals had not been aroused yet. At this time, the status of civil and military officials was not much different. Zhang Chongsi was only a little polite to Wang Dai in order to establish a good relationship. It doesn't matter if he didn't want to be a county Governor...
What he was afraid of was the King of Jin who lived inside.
After waiting for a while, a green-clothed round neck walked out of the gate and said: The prince asked General Zhang to take the prisoners to the headquarters to meet him.
After Zhang Chongsi responded, he asked his subordinates to escort six or seven women and children, and there was only one adult woman: Li Yixun's official concubine, Gong, Wuling.
The others were all children, some were born by Li Yixun's partial concubine or concubine, but they were caught after all, with the blood of the Li family.
On the contrary, those concubines were not arrested, and in Zhang Chongsi's idea, those people were not considered Li Yixun's family at all, so they would save themselves from injuring innocent people.
Everyone was led by the officials into the gate and saw Xue Chongxun holding a bright and sharp sword standing in the yard, wearing only a white lining, looking sweaty even though he was so angry.
The women and children who came in the door were frightened when they saw the weapons in his hands.
Obviously, Xue Chongxun's reputation is not good in the Size Palace in Lingzhou. He is probably the one who kills innocent fish and meat indiscriminately.
When Xue Chongxun saw a group of children coming in, the place immediately became like a kindergarten. He was stunned and showed a kind smile on his face...
But he is really not a person that children like. He is as tall as a hill and is holding a knife in his hand. No matter how the children look at him, they are even more scared when they see his smile.
The children were busy rushing to their acquaintance, Mrs. Gong.
Xue Chongxun waved with a knife and said with a smile: Don’t be afraid, uncle is not a bad person, he won’t beat you...
Wow... A child was frightened to tears.
Xue Chongxun felt a little embarrassed. When he looked back at the officials around him, he saw that Wang Junzhu was also looking at him. The two looked at each other without saying a word.
Zhang Chongsi, wearing iron armor, stepped forward and said in a stern voice: Report to the prince, King Size died in his own burning momentum at home, and his humble position failed to complete his mission. Please punish him!
Everyone is dead, it’s not your fault.Xue Chongxun said with a generous look, pointing at a group of children and saying, "You'll catch these people?"Nothing else?
Zhang Chongsi buried his head and said: Yes.
Lingzhou is Zhang Renyuan’s base camp. What about the officials under his command?
Zhang Chongsi said: Because the Ministry of War did not have an order to arrest Lingzhou officials, he did not dare to make arbitrary claims to harm innocent people. After entering the city, he repeatedly strictly enforced military discipline and did not violate the officials and people in Lingzhou.
Xue Chongxun: ...
At this time, the woman began to comfort the crying child softly, stroked the child's head and spoke for a while, and the crying gradually became smaller.
Xue Chongxun noticed the woman. She was only in her twenties, with an ordinary face but very well-known facial features. It was the face that the world believed to be a good husband, but her figure was good. Although her figure was not tall enough and not hot enough, her round figure was very well-proportioned, giving people a soft and fleshy feeling, and her skin was well maintained.
Xue Chongxun pointed at her and said: This is...
Zhang Chongsi said: King Size's official concubine, Gong, Wuling.
The woman was a person who had seen the world with a pampered life. Even though she became a prisoner, she was not panicked. After hearing Xue Chongxun's question, she bowed her knees politely and conscientiously: I have met the King of Jin.
After all, he was the wife of the Li clan clan, and with so many civil servants and generals, Xue Chongxun still gave the minimum respect with a graceful manner. He bowed his fists and even said generously: No matter how ruthless Li Yixun is, these people are my relatives. You must settle down well and not be rude.
Of course, he is just trying to save face. Only God knows how the facts will be treated by these people.
Anyway, in his impression, Princess Taiping's children and grandchildren in history were all strangled to death by their cousin's cousin or even starved to death.
The officials around responded quickly.
Xue Chongxun glanced at the woman and said: Settling down the children, Princess Size came to my office to speak.
After saying that, he threw the horizontal knife to the ground and waved to the maid to add clothes to him.
The returnee Zhang Chongsi stood there and seemed a little at a loss. Xue Chongxun neither scolded him for being wrong nor praised him, which made people a little confused.
Xue Chongxun put on a long robe, washed his hands in a mouthful of warm water in a copper basin, did a lot of trivial things, and then turned around and walked towards the hall.Naturally, Gong was taken to meet by officials.
Mrs. Gong followed into the spacious lobby and saw that it was simply and neatly decorated.Xue Chongxun had already sat on a chair next to a coffee table, and pointed to the chair opposite and said: Princess Size, please sit down.
Mrs. Gong frowned and walked over and sat down slowly, and immediately couldn't help asking: How about the King of Jin doing to the children?
What do you think?Xue Chongxun said lightly.
Mrs. Gong immediately lowered her head and said nothing. It would be useless to beg for mercy at this time.
Seeing the young woman feeling sad, Xue Chongxun said with great sympathy: In fact, the powerful and powerful fight for power and profit have nothing to do with women and children. You are innocent, like those children, what do they know and do what they do wrong?
When Gong looked up at him, she wanted to despise his false benevolence and righteousness, but she didn't expect to find that Xue Chongxun's gaze was very sincere. She was stunned for a moment and swallowed it.
Xue Chongxun sighed, lowered his head and pondered something. After a long time, he looked up and said: Although I am a man who is in the power field, I am not willing to lose my true nature and speak lies. Let me tell you clearly that Li Yixun's children must die!Not only do I not want to leave any future troubles, but even my mother and the people in power in the court cannot let them live in this world.So you don’t have to beg me... But even though you are Li Yixun’s concubine, you are a woman. If you are willing to expose what Li Yixun did, you can still live safely.As for the child, you are still so young, will you be able to have one or two more after remarrying?At the same time, it can also prevent people from being implicated and suffering from catastrophes... Do you think I'm justified?
Mrs. Gong looked at Xue Chongxun coldly and said: As a member of the Li Tang royal family, you believe that your actions have endangered the country of the Tang Dynasty, so they joined forces with the Shuofang Chief Manager Zhang Renyuan and others to raise an army. These things have long been known to the world, so why should we expose them?
Xue Chongxun stared at her eyes and said: There is something else. Let me give you an example. Did Li Yixun and Zhang Renyuan agree to the Turks' conditions for borrowing troops, such as allowing the Turks to plunder prosperous and wealthy cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang as a reward for the Turks?
Gong shook his head and said: There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. As a member of the Tang Dynasty, how can you indulge other clans in trampling on the people of the Tang Dynasty?
What!Zhang Renyuan looked at the general in shock, his eyes wide open.
The general lowered his head and said: The Chief of Lingzhou reported that the officials and generals in the city were in a state of turmoil, and they were mostly interested in the pseudo-political policy of Chang'an. Please send troops to arrest them to warn others.
