Late Tang

(Thank you for the inconspicuous sprouting, Kangkang Baobao for their monthly ticket support, thank you everyone!)

In March of the second year of Qianfu, when the fangfei was blooming and the grass was growing, it was a good time for spring.

But now the whole of Chang'an, because of the assassination of a young handsome man, the whole city has been under martial law for many days, and the whole Chang'an is shrouded in a tense atmosphere.On March [-]rd, Zhen [***]'s three thousand Qingqi rode their horses from Bashang to the Tonghua Gate, the north gate of Dongcheng City, which caused panic and tension among the Shence Army guarding the gate.Holding the battle flag of the town [***], these sturdy town [***] knights galloped like flying, crossing in a vertical and horizontal direction, riding spears like forests, and sabers like snow.

In the end, even the ministers of the Zhengshitang rushed to the top of the Tonghua Gate tower, and Yu Cong shouted to the knights under the city.

The knights below stated their request, they asked Tian Lingzi to hand over all the escaped assassins who assassinated Li Jing in Gaoling City.Hearing this request, several prime ministers in the city discussed it, but they didn't dare to directly reject Zhen [***]'s request. Getting mad, who knows what these Qiu Ba will do.

When the news reported to the palace, Tian Lingzi was carefully serving the emperor to play polo. The emperor jumped off the horse. After hearing the report from Zheng Tian who rushed back, he turned to Tian Lingzi with a cold face and said, "Let's leave this matter to the emperor." Lieutenant Tian Zhong, you must deal with it properly."

After speaking, he got back on his horse and rode away.These days Chang'an is under martial law, and even the entire Daming Palace is filled with a tense atmosphere, which makes Li Yan very uncomfortable.But this incident cannot be entirely blamed on the soldiers of the town [***], after all, Li Jing is still in a coma, and his life and death are unknown.And now the imperial court can't even find a single general or soldier who can fight. Zheng Congyu and Yujuan outside the city have more than 1 elite soldiers and horses, but these people are still surrounded by the town [***].

In addition, these days Zhang Tai, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and other eunuchs kept taking the opportunity to speak ill of Tian Lingzi in front of the emperor.Therefore, in the end, the emperor put all the responsibilities on Tian Lingzi.Tian Lingzi is really cautious these days, walking on eggshells, almost like a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him.

"Mr. Tian, ​​are those brothers really going to hand them over?" Tian Lingzi's confidant generals of the forbidden army immediately asked as soon as they left the palace gate. "In that case, I'm afraid the brothers below will be chilled. Once the hearts of the brothers are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team."

"This time our family capsized in the gutter, this lesson is too painful." Tian Lingzi frowned and said: "What we have to do now is to keep a low profile, and burn more incense in front of gods and Buddhas, offer more sesame oil, pray Li Jing can wake up earlier." After these days of experience, Tian Lingzi finally understood that Li Jing is actually just a handsome man from a foreign town.If he doesn't give himself face, it will be thousands of miles away.His real enemies, those who really want to put him to death, are Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and others in the palace.

I fought hard with Li Jing, but Li Jing fell down, but I didn't get any benefits at all, and instead fell into a very dangerous situation.The relationship between the emperor and him is getting more and more estranged, and he must solve the matter of getting rid of Zhen[***] as soon as possible.You can't use force against them now, so you can only bow your head and spend money to buy peace.

"Those people are also a bunch of waste, and keeping them is just a waste of food. Tian Qun, you immediately lead people to arrest these people and send them to the town [***] outside the city for disposal. In addition, the secret detainees The killer named Mei sent it to Zhen[***] together.”

On the same day, Tian Lingzi handed over the hundreds of Imperial Army soldiers and desperadoes, as well as the killer named Mei, to Zhen [***].The town [***] cavalry got this group of people, and finally returned with satisfaction, which made the court officials on the top of the city and the guards of the city both relieved and feel ashamed.The majestic imperial court has nothing to do with these soldiers from other towns.

Now almost all the people in Chang'an City, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, traffickers and pawns, are praying for Li Jing, hoping that he will wake up.After all, if Li Jing doesn't wake up for a day, Chang'an's alert may not be lifted for a day. Chang'an City is closed all day long, which has seriously affected the lives of the people.Not only did various prices start to rise, but many merchants could not even leave the city.

Everywhere in Chang'an, there were few people who scolded Li Jing and Zhen [***], almost everyone spoke the same word, and they all scolded Tian Lingzi in Beili.In particular, Tian Lingzi often sent people to the Chang'an market to forcefully buy goods, and even robbed them, which had long aroused resentment from countless people. At this time, they naturally cursed one after another.

On the fifth day of March, Zhen [***] came again, this time more people came, a total of [-] cavalry, under Yaowu City.This caused another panic among the soldiers, officials and people in the city. This time, the leading general of the town [***] asked for food and grass from the city.

The emperor was relieved to hear that he only wanted food and grass. After several rounds of mobilization, he mobilized [-] stones of grain and grass, [-] pigs and sheep, and [-] chickens, ducks and geese. City, and has been followed to Bashang, on behalf of the emperor and the court to condolences town [***], and went to visit Li Jing.

At dusk that day, Wang Cong returned to Chang'an City, and at the same time brought back a news that Li Jing finally woke up in the afternoon.

The news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City like the wind, and all the people in the city cheered.

Marshal Li has finally woken up. If he doesn't wake up again, it is estimated that the population of more than 100 million people in Chang'an City will go crazy.

After Li Jing woke up, early the next morning, the emperor sent Yu Cong to Bashang again, this time bringing the emperor's condolences.

When Yu Cong rushed to Bashang again, the atmosphere of the entire barracks had changed.The tension and anger had turned into cheers.The soldiers of the town [***] also changed out of their armored robes and swirling jackets, and only wore crotchless robes with interlayers.Even the iron helmets on their heads were replaced with hats or cloth scarves.

As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, there was also laughter and laughter inside. Li Jing, who finally 'woke up' yesterday, was sitting on a soft couch in the lord's position, half leaning and half leaning, with a trace of paleness on his face, but the whole The spirit of the person is not bad.

But below Li Jing, there are Zheng Congxuan and Yu Juan and other town commanders and generals.Although both Zheng Congxun and Yu Jian had higher official positions than Li Jing, Cui Anqian and others were also more senior and respected than Li Jing.However, everyone was very happy that Li Jing finally woke up, and they all asked Li Jing to sit in the main seat, after all, this is Li Jing's camp.

Pigs and sheep were slaughtered outside the tent, and the sergeants were rewarded with wine and meat. In the tent, there was a feast of flowing water, and the generals gathered and laughed loudly together, all celebrating Li Jing's escape.Li Jing used tea instead of wine, and toasted to everyone frequently.This time, Li Jing hid his serious injuries in the tent. The generals of the various towns came to visit several times. Although they were stopped outside, Li Jing knew about it.Especially when the town [***] surrounded the soldiers and horses of the towns, they did not have any conflict with the town [***].

Li Jing knew that this was Zhu Shuai's support for him.Otherwise, Zheng Congxuan and his seven towns and three divisions would also have [-] troops. If they are willing to nod and send troops to deal with the town [***], plus the Shence Army inside and outside the city, the matter will be another result up.

Zheng Congxun and Yu Jian were also very satisfied when they saw that Li Jing had immediately restrained the soldiers of the town [***] after he woke up.Although Li Jing was murdered twice, instead of resenting the court, he was able to restrain his subordinates immediately. This fully shows that he is a loyal and patriotic general, and his character is admirable.

The arrival of Yu Cong made the atmosphere in the tent even more enthusiastic.Yu Cong announced the emperor's consolation to Li Jing on the spot, and also read out the emperor's and Zhengshitang's new rewards for Li Jing.Li Jing used to be a general of the Jinwu Guard, but now he was promoted to the second-rank Zuo Xiaowei general of the Nanya Guard Army, and was promoted to the second-rank general of the Fuguo General of Li Jingwu's third rank, and was specially awarded the honor of Shangzhu.Li Jing was granted a 36-household real food seal, and the real food seal increased to [-] households.He also gave Li Jing one drum music, [-] female prostitutes, thirteen sets of armor from the royal arsenal of Weiwei Temple, seven sword handles, three horse lances, and three red lacquer bows.The original official of the Ministry of Punishment of the Procuratorate was also changed to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Prosecution and Correction.

In addition, it was returned to Zhen [***] and the other seven towns and three soldiers, and another 100 million coins were given to reward the soldiers.

Hearing such a generous reward, Zhu Zhenshuai was a little surprised.The imperial court now almost only relies on taxes from the southeast, so how can they spend so much money all at once.Wang Cong explained with a smile that the money was actually given by Tian Lingzi.After finishing speaking, he took out the 100 million yuan that Tian Lingzi had given him earlier, and handed it over to Zheng Congyu and others.Zheng Congxuan was unwilling to accept it at first, but Li Jing smiled and said, "Since Eunuch Tian is kind, how can everyone not accept it. Otherwise, if the generals don't accept it, how can the soldiers below accept it?"

In this way, in the end, 100 million yuan was distributed to the soldiers of the armies, and the other 100 million yuan was distributed to the town commanders and generals.Eight towns and three tribes, each with 20 shares, and the other three tribes with a total of 100.The generals will share 100 million, and the brothers below will share another [-] million.

With such a division, Li Jing, who has the most soldiers and horses, is a bit disadvantaged, but Li Jing doesn't care too much. Previously, the town [***] had knocked Tian Lingzi for 200 million. Let's share the 200 million with everyone who has the money. Thank you all for your silent support.Zhu Zhen was very happy to see Li Jing so forthright.A town is divided into 20, which is not a decimal.The soldiers at the bottom can get up to [-], and the generals can get another [-]. All the losses in the east of the river are almost all returned now.Everyone also knows that if it weren't for the town [***], they wouldn't be able to get the money.

Li Jing did not take any of the 20 yuan he received, but [-] yuan was distributed to the soldiers, each with five guan, and [-] yuan was distributed to the officers, according to their official positions.

400 million, Tian Lingzi is really bleeding.Back then, Tang Yizong married a daughter and gave 500 million guan, but now Tian Lingzi is forced to take out 400 million guan, and his heart is bleeding.However, when Yang Guozhong was prime minister, he was able to earn 3000 million yuan. Now Tian Lingzi is even more powerful than Yang Guozhong. It is estimated that 400 million yuan is just a heartache for Tian Lingzi. (To be continued.)
