Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Jiangnan Road, Muzhou Administrative Office, Pheasant County.

Mountains, rivers and lakes are rich in products, so taxes are also heavy.

Pheasant County was renamed Xin'an County in the first year of Wenming (Tang Ruizong Li Dan);
In the 20th year of Kaiyuan (Tang Xuanzong Li Longji), the name was changed to Chun County;

In the first year of Yongzhen, it was renamed Qingxi County to avoid the taboo of Tang Xianzong Li Chun.

Is this taboo-avoidance law becoming more and more extensive, including tabooing even sounds, and preventing people from speaking properly?

In the second year of Yongchun (Tang Gaozong), Jiande County, which had been abandoned for seven years in Wude, was restored to Tonglu County and Zhishan County. In the second year of Long Live Tongtian (Wu Zetian of Zhou Dynasty), Muzhou was moved to Jiande County.

In Zitongyuan Farm in Pheasant County, there lived a strange woman named Chen Shuozhen (Chen Shuozhen in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty). Unable to bear the heavy taxes, she left the village and dressed up as a Kun Taoist. She publicized her teachings and was captured by the government.

Fortunately, his brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin asked someone to get through and redeem him with money.

Chen Shuozhen realized that if there was any further delay, big problems would inevitably arise, so he simply launched an attack in October, claiming to be Emperor Wenjia, with Zhang Shuyin as his servant.

The first female emperor in Chinese history was born - although she was a grass-headed king.

The people who started the trouble from Chen Shuozhen may not really believe in immortality, but they have long been intolerable to the harsh and powerful plundering of officials.

Therefore, even though he knew there was little hope, he was still willing to risk his life.

When the government was deaf, Zhang Shuyin led his troops to capture Tonglu County, and Chen Shuozhen captured Muzhou, Hangzhou and Yuqian County.

For a time, Chen Shuozhen's reputation was greatly enhanced, and Chang'an was furious.

In the Taiji Hall, Emperor Yonghui, who had been enjoying peace and quiet for a long time, was furious: "The dignified Muzhou is so corrupt! Muzhou Zhechong Mansion can't even defeat a group of rebels!"

The supervisory censor Li Chaocheng walked into the hall: "The supervisory censor Li Chao has reported that the defeat of Muzhou Zhechong Mansion was not a crime of war."

"There are quite a few followers of the traitor Chen Shuozhen among the soldiers, and the area and the powerful plunderers have gone too far, causing all the soldiers to suffer. Therefore, as soon as Chen thief's order was given, half of the soldiers rebelled."

In this matter, it's useless to blame others for attacking the captain. Who dares them to infringe on the interests of the soldiers?

Emperor Yonghui was furious: "All the officials and powerful men in Muzhou who are still alive deserve to live in Huanzhou!"

Sun Wuji, the captain of the Taiwei, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please do not be angry. The scabies is so severe that even the imperial army does not need to be dispatched."

"But the surrounding areas of Muzhou are sealed to strictly prevent the entry and exit of Muzhou's population; Shi Fangrenyu, the governor of Yangzhou, and Cui Yixuan, the governor of Wuzhou, lead their troops to pacify it, and the rest of the places are strictly guarded."

In the eyes of all the veterans on the battlefield, Chen Shuo's true rise of troops was like burning oil cooking in a raging fire. Although it was violent, it would not last long.

The main reason why Chen Shuo succeeded was that Muzhou lost the people's hearts and was caught by surprise, so he was able to easily capture the city.

But although Muzhou is backed by Qiandao Lake, it is located in a place where four wars are fought. According to game theory, gold horns and silver edges cover the belly of straw, and Muzhou is exactly that belly.

Not to mention that Chen Shuozhen and Zhang Shuyin were not famous generals who knew how to fight. Even if they released serious generals to Muzhou, it would be a fight between trapped beasts.

The corruption of the official government in Muzhou does not mean the corruption of the surrounding government officials;

Muzhou’s loss of people’s hearts does not mean that Datang lost its people’s hearts;

Just because Muzhou has no fighting power does not mean that all other states have no fighting power.

"She was six hundred miles away from Shezhou. The traitor Chen Shuozhen attacked the town of She County with tens of thousands of people. The governor went to the city with his sword to guard it. After ten days, he did not lose anything."

Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported.

Although Chen Shuozhen had a large number of soldiers, they were not trained, and the proportion of old, weak, women and children was not low, and they did not know the siege equipment. It was really not possible for them to defeat a Shexian city that was united and heavily guarded.

As for crossing the border to the east and attacking Yuezhou, that's a joke.Yuezhou is the seat of the Central Governor's Office in Yuezhou, and the troops and horses are enough to severely damage Chen Shuozhen's team.

The ministers in the DPRK all breathed a sigh of relief.

With such poor combat power, Muzhou was able to fall. The officials of Muzhou deserved to die!
Fan Zheng left the team slowly: "My lord Fan Zheng began to report that although the rebellion of Muzhou was the fault of officials and powerful men, it may not be the epitome of all states."

"The officials force the people to rebel, and the people have no choice but to rebel. I believe that the Yushitai should thoroughly investigate the world, not just for a formality, but to conduct detailed investigations among the people."

Doctor Censor...

The imperial censor Li Qianyou hated Chu Suiliang and moved to Xingzhou (Xingtai) to be the governor. There was a shortage of officials in the imperial censor station.

Therefore, don't look at how Chu Suiliang was described in history books as a gentleman and a moral model. He was just an ordinary person, with emotions and sorrows, and would use the power in his hands to attack his opponents.

Zhang Wencong, the censor Zhongcheng, smiled bitterly. If this matter is to be handled, even a single official who is responsible for a state will not be able to escape!

The problem is that what Fan Zheng said is quite reasonable, but Zhang Wencong has nothing to say except for the manpower aspect.

In Taichung, there were many people who were related to Fan Zheng, such as Zhen Xing, the chief secretary, Liu Shu Huaming, the supervisory censor, and Pan Chang, the secretary of the order.

Fan Zhengzhi's words, of course, also included them.

Therefore, even the imperial censors Qiu Shenji and Zou Jiujiu who had a grudge against Fan Zheng had nothing to say.

"The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and the Yushitai is short of manpower. It can be carried out according to three patrols every year, one for light and dark."

Situ Li Yuanli suggested.

Zhang Wencong breathed a sigh of relief.

Patrolling three roads in one year and ten roads in three years, although it is difficult, at least it is a mission that can be accomplished.

It is clear that there is light and darkness, which is a trump card. When local officials deal with inspections, they usually behave in a superficial way and bully the superiors without hiding anything from the inferiors.

Li Yuanli is not just messing around in Jiangzhou!
Emperor Yonghui pondered for a long time: "Yes! The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send another group of people to make a secret visit."

Everyone knew that Emperor Yonghui was extremely angry and wanted to severely punish the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

The three groups of people were conducting their own investigations, and everyone had a sharp sword hanging over their heads. If they tried to play with power, they might end up in hell.

Ordinarily, ministers should strongly oppose eunuchs interfering in politics, but Zhang Ananda of the Taizong Dynasty set a precedent there. What else can be said?

Chen Shuozhen's troops moved south to attack Wuzhou, but Cui Yixuan, the governor of Wuzhou, led his troops to resist.

The officials in Wuzhou were quite afraid of war. Cui Xuanji, who joined the army as Du Si Gong, concluded that although Chen Shuozhen was powerful, he would be defeated.

Cui Xuanji had not been well-known before. He was the son-in-law of Qu Tutong, a veteran general and Duke of Jiang Zhongguo. Therefore, he was favored by Cui Yixuan and was appointed as a pioneer officer to fight against Chen Shuozhen's general Tong Wenbao.

Cui Yixuan and Chen Shuozhen then sent their troops forward. Wuzhou's soldiers were well-trained and Chen Shuozhen's army was large in number, resulting in a stalemate.

Cui Yixuan became fierce and ordered the shield protecting him to be removed: "If the governor avoids the arrow, who will fight to the death?"

Shi Fangrenyu, the governor of Yangzhou, led his troops to attack from the north.

Fang Renyu, an uncle of Fang Xuanling's clan, was originally from the Qin Prince's family. He was a brave and good warrior. The two forces worked together to destroy Chen Shuozhen's tribe. Only tens of thousands of people were captured. Chen Shuozhen and Zhang Shuyin were captured and then killed.

Chen Shuozhen's troops had long been prepared to die, and the death rate was frighteningly high.
