Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 701
late at night.

Citong City, General Lu's Mansion.

Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng, and counselor Wang Su are discussing matters in the Neixuan.

"Zheng'er, you are going to march tomorrow. This crusade against Fuzhou City is very critical. It is also the moment for you to fully demonstrate your talents before returning to the country. You must seize the opportunity and establish absolute prestige in the army. Relationships to your future."

Lu Zheng nodded, and said: "I understand, now that Yang Wu is coming back to the country, and the three groups of people from the three islands have converged, there must be many people staring at the position of the general. I must make good money and strive to make great contributions. Among the younger generation, I have the highest prestige.

Lu Chaoqun was very pleased to see his son so motivated.

"Zheng'er, you have to look a little further. Although we, General Wei and General Qi are three main islands, divided into three places, and the generals under their command have different services, they still belong to the old department of Heiyundu after all. After the country, we will have new troops joining, even the old troops of Zhangquan Chen Hongjin, Wu Yue surrendered army, and the generals who defected from Tang, and even Su Chen is also building a new army. .

"It is very difficult for you to stand out from these forces and make everyone admire you. Therefore, if you make meritorious deeds early and establish prestige, you will be in the forefront. As the saying goes, step by step, step by step, let these younger generations , No one can compare to you, in the future, when my father and son command more troops and our reputation is high enough, it may not be impossible to establish the Lu family."

After hearing his father's explanation, Lu Zheng was startled. He had already heard the implication, that is, his father planned to usurp power and establish a new court in the future.

Adviser Wang Su stood aside, stroking his beard and smiling. Obviously, he had discussed privately with Lu Chaoqun many times, and he was going to explain clearly to the 27-year-old Lu Zheng tonight.

"Young Marshal, General Lu and I have been planning on the island for many years. Although Heiyundu is the old army of Yang Wu, but after decades of upgrading, the soldiers here are no longer the same soldiers in Heiyundu. It’s that we have changed our blood. It’s hard to say how many people in their bones recognize the Yang Wu royal family. Restoring the Yang Wu regime is just a long-term strategy of the general. With this banner, we can return to the south of the Yangtze River. To convene the old department, to be able to establish a system and get the support of more people."

"With Yang Ling'er's title of lord, General Wei and Qi Jiangjun are willing to bow their heads and hand over all their power. Soldiers go out as envoys and fight in one place, twisting into one force. Moreover, the Yang Wu regime is after all in Huaibei, Both Huainan and Jiangnan have had a dynasty foundation. Even the Southern Tang regime originated from Yang Wu, who usurped power and changed the establishment. With the slogan of Yang Wu restoring the country, we can naturally absorb the remaining strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty, trace the source, and completely gather Let’s face it, even the Huainan and Huaibei regions will have a chance to be merged in the future, making it impossible for Song to stand still.”

"These things require Yang Wu's banner and the existence of the titular protagonist Yang Ling'er. However, she is a girl after all and cannot carry on the family line. As long as Yang Wu develops smoothly within five to ten years, General Lu and the young marshal will The military power is firmly under control, and many officials are recruited. At that time, we will either abolish the lord and change the dynasty. Or, we will propose marriage to the young commander, take Yang Linger, take over the power, and when the time is right, become the emperor and continue to fight It’s okay to use Wu’s national flag, or change it to a new name.”

As a counselor, Wang Su has a dark belly, he speaks more directly, and has no affection or loyalty to Yang Wu. After all, he is only Lu Chaoqun's counselor, unlike Lu Chaoqun's ancestors who were real generals of the Yang Wu regime, Heiyundu. Commander-in-Chief, the genuine survivor of Yang Wu.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng felt his heart skip a beat.

When it comes to being an emperor, who wouldn't be tempted?If you really think what the counselor said, he and his father can do this, and if they become kings in the future, they can have power over the government, control the government, and change the super-broken.

"Today's Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Great Song Dynasty, a few years ago, he was only inspecting the generals in front of the palace of the Houzhou Palace. Because he had military power, he bullied the Emperor Houzhou when he was young, so there was a mutiny at Chenqiao, and the yellow robe was added, and he was directly abolished. After losing the little emperor Chai, he became the emperor himself and changed his name to Song. It stands to reason that he was one of the ministers who were single-handedly promoted by Chai Rong in the past and was one of the most trusted ministers who asked him to protect the new emperor of the Chai family. Take power and stand on your own.”

"Speaking far away, there is Sui Wendi Yang Jian, who was also the father-in-law of the young emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He also took away the land of his son-in-law, and finally established the Great Sui Dynasty by himself. , It’s not worth mentioning, only winners and losers, if you have the courage to fight, this regime belongs to the Lu family.”

Wang Su's persuasive guidance made the Lu family father and son's heart skip a beat.

However, it is still too early, and it is still in the stage of planning and bedding.

"Okay, I know how to do it." Lu Zheng nodded, his eyes full of hope and longing.

It is still the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the troubled times have not yet come to an end. Whether it is a courtier or a general, especially a military commander, the loyalty to the court and the monarch is not so high, and there is not much Confucian morality, because this is equivalent to the Warring States period. , the warlords divided the regime, and the ritual collapsed and the music broke down.

Zhu, Li, Shi, Liu Guo, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou all came to the fifteenth emperor to spread chaos in the fifteenth autumn.

This is a poem written with the surnames of the emperors during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history lasted a total of 53 years, but 14 emperors were changed. Most of these emperors died abnormally, which is enough to show how chaotic this period in history was.

This stage is a special period between the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it is essentially the continuation of the separatism of feudal lords and towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the later politics.

The Five Dynasties mainly include the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou.

The Ten Kingdoms are mainly composed of ten regimes: Former Shu, Later Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), and Northern Han.

These separatist regimes all appeared after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were established by Jiedushi who held military power.In politics, it directly followed the old system of the Tang Dynasty, and did not form a new system suitable for its own country, nor did it have new political ideas and innovations.

Therefore, this directly led to the low trust of the people in the new regime and the inability to generate national beliefs.Since this concept has not been improved, it indirectly led to the chaos of this period of history.

The key to frequent regime changes is that the way of monarch and ministers at that time has been completely destroyed.After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, signs of this began to appear.At that time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was severely damaged. Although many local Jiedu envoys did not dare to directly separate themselves, they also established their own regimes in their own jurisdictions.

With the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the ambitions of these people gradually increased, and they became independent states.In order to seize power and seek personal gain, they have tried everything possible, with no moral bottom line at all.Due to the continuous disputes among countries during this period, whoever wants to sit on the throne of the emperor can sit, but no one can sit firmly, so in the end, the generals basically usurped the throne.

Obviously, the father and son Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng, and counselor Wang Su still have this kind of thinking, and even think it should be taken for granted. The righteousness lies in it. Anyway, in this era, other people do it like this, it depends on who has the guts Great, who can usurp power successfully.

In the past, Cao Cao and Sima Yi coerced the emperor to order the princes, and later, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin directly usurped power and established the country. Which of them is not a big figure with a strong history.

The Lu family father and son naturally set these people as role models in their hearts!
