Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302 The Loyal King Zhang Xun With Stubborn Thoughts

Zhang Xun watched Li Fei riding his horse forward with the support of a group of Anton iron knights, and he must be the leader of this mighty iron cavalry.

Li Fei reined in the horse, turned over and got off the horse.

Zhang Xun walked over immediately, smiled and asked Li Fei, "I don't know who the general is?"

Because Li Fei was wearing armor, Zhang Xun called Li Fei a general.

"Anton Jiedushi, Li Fei!" Li Fei also smiled and cupped his hands at Zhang Xun.

At this moment, Zhang Xun is 48 years old, not young, and because he has led troops to resist the rebels for more than a year, his body feels a little thin and thin, but Zhang Xun's temperament is also amazing, showing a sense of uprightness and sternness. It is not ordinary people.

"The adopted son of Concubine Yang, Duke Wu, Anton Jiedu envoy Li Fei?" Hearing Li Fei's name, Zhang Xun frowned unconsciously, as if he didn't have a good impression of Li Fei .

"Why, Mr. Zhang is dissatisfied with me? It's okay to be blunt!" Seeing Zhang Xun frown suddenly, as if he was not satisfied with himself, and had some opinions, Li Fei couldn't help frowning. He was still in a little mood just now. Enthusiasm, now it's like being poured by a basin of cold water, and suddenly it's cold again, and I'm also less interested in Zhang Xun.

After all, since people are dissatisfied with him and have opinions, he is considered a historical celebrity, so why does Li Fei continue to put his hot face on others' cold ass, what a joke!
"No, no, how dare Zhang Xun! Your Majesty sent your lord to lead an army to rescue Suiyang. Your lord not only broke the siege of Suiyang, but also wiped out Yang Chaozong's rebellious army. Zhang Xun and the people of Suiyang are very grateful." It seems to have noticed Li Fei's expression, Zhang Xun said with some embarrassment.

Although he did have some opinions on Li Fei in his heart, it was hard to say it out.After all, Li Fei's official position and title are far above him, and Li Fei came to rescue Suiyang thousands of miles away, which is regarded as a kindness to him and the people of Suiyang, so how dare he make Li Fei unhappy.

Unfortunately, Li Fei didn't appreciate Zhang Xun's so-called gratitude.

"The new emperor is busy recovering Guanzhong and Chang'an City, but he has no time to send troops to rescue Suiyang. It was I who escorted the Supreme Emperor to Hanzhong, and came here spontaneously. It is said that the **** made me a general of the auxiliary country, controlling Henan. All military forces, although Suiyang is the gate of Jianghuai, it is also the area of ​​Henan Province, and it is my duty to save Suiyang, so there is no need to be grateful!" Li Fei's smile was no longer gentle, and he said coldly .

Zhang Xun was embarrassed just now, but when he suddenly heard that Li Fei had been made a general of the auxiliary country and had the right to control all military forces in Henan Province, Zhang Xun frowned even more than before.

Li Fei was staring at Zhang Xun. Seeing this scene, he sneered and his face became colder than before.

"It was conferred by the Supreme Emperor himself? Does Your Majesty know? You should inform His Majesty and get His Majesty's permission. After all, the Supreme Emperor is already the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty is the one who commands the world today, and you should be honored by Your Majesty." Although Zhang Xun I didn't want to offend Li Fei, but I asked cautiously.

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, the new emperor should be respected. Calculated, the new emperor and the Supreme Emperor are divided into north and south after Mawei Station. The new emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu without a jade seal. It is also embarrassing for the new emperor. Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor After hearing about it, he didn't object, and took the initiative to send the Chuanguo Yuxi, and also sent away the civil and military officials around him, so that the new emperor would be logical, otherwise——" Li Fei looked disdainful, and he The moment he confronted Suzong Li Heng at Mawei Station, there was no longer any friendship to speak of. Suzong Li Heng wished to tear him apart, and he could not respect a person who wanted to kill him.

"Oh, by the way, when the Supreme Emperor appointed me as the General of the Fuguo and ordered me to control the military forces in Henan Province, the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. Shouldn’t the new emperor be notified if he was appointed by the Supreme Emperor?” Zhang Xun’s dissatisfaction and obvious dissatisfaction with him made Li Fei very upset, so Li Fei couldn’t control it, and satirized Zhang Xun after speaking.

Zhang Xun was choked by Li Fei's words. If Li Fei's auxiliary state general and various military positions in Henan Province were appointed before the new emperor ascended the throne, then there is really no need to inform the new emperor that he will get the new emperor. permission.

However, Zhang Xun thought that Li Fei's words were too indifferent and disrespectful to the new emperor. This is not a good phenomenon!
"My lord, redeem your majesty and speak frankly. As a subject, we should respect and be loyal to your majesty, and take your majesty's shame as our shame. The master is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the master of the humiliation is dead. Your majesty is the son of heaven, and he is ordered by heaven. There is nothing wrong at all, and it is the fault of the courtiers if you make mistakes, you ignored the new emperor who was still the prince in Mawei Station, and even questioned blindly, accusing the emperor who was your majesty at the time, it is really wrong!" It was Zhang Xun who had an opinion on Li Fei. He couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Fei's name, and couldn't hide the real reason for his dissatisfaction with Li Fei.

In other words, after Suzong Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, because he hated Li Fei's ignorance and persecution of him in Mawei Station, people deliberately enlarged Li Fei's arrogance and rudeness, disregard for imperial power, and the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, etc. Li Fei made it smell as bad as the rebels!

Zhang Xun is an upright person, but just because he is upright and strict, he also hopes that others will be like him.What Li Fei did in Mawei Station at the beginning was too contemptuous of the imperial power. He felt that with Li Fei's attitude towards the imperial power, Li Fei would very likely become a rebellious person like An Lushan in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Xun also hoped that Li Fei could realize his 'mistake', and turn his back on it, so as to avoid becoming a person like An Lushan because of ignoring the imperial power in the future. He even felt that it was kind of him to be able to say these things to Li Fei.

Li Fei sneered: "The emperor can't be wrong? He can't be blamed? Why did Qin die? Why did Han die, Jin, Sui why? The disasters of the Tang Dynasty today, etc., the unknown employment is the biggest trouble of the emperor. Wrong! Can’t those who are courtiers be able to question and criticize? During Taizong’s period, Wei Zheng dared to speak up and speak out of Taizong’s mistakes, but Taizong humbly accepted the advice, and did not realize that Wei Zheng was wrong. Instead, he regarded Wei Zheng as his own mirror and let Wei Zheng come. Supervising one's own faults, Taizong's grandeur has the rule of Zhenguan, which laid a solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty's subsequent hundred years of prosperity. It is not terrible for the emperor to make mistakes, but the terrible thing is that the courtiers dare not speak out about their mistakes. The holy hearing caused the emperor not to know his mistakes, and eventually one mistake after another piled up, causing a catastrophe! The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. Everything should be based on the well-being of the people, not just blindly like you Zhang Xun. I only know how to respect the imperial power, and I am foolish and loyal!"

If the words are not speculative, what they say is in vain.So after saying this, Li Fei stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Xun and rode away.
