In the Xiangji Temple of Fanchuan, southwest of Chang'an City, someone secretly regarded as a backer of the ruler and usurpant, the deputy ambassador of Guiyi Army, Su Xun, who had a bald head, shiny eyebrows, broad face and thick bones, also hurriedly passed through the periphery of the Shence Jianer Institute, which formed a tight flag and rod, and came to the Sumeru Hall where Prime Minister Zheng Tiao lived. Then he stopped and asked to pass the deep voice of the halberd standing on the steps:

"The deputy envoy of Guiyi Army, Hexi camp, recruiting and prosecuting, and report to Mingtang's old steps if you have any questions..."

However, the reply he received was that the old man was meeting the guest, and led him and his entourage to a fire brazier next to him for a while. Then, listening to the sound of snowflakes falling on the eaves of the outer room and the breath of the entourage guarding the entourage, Suo Xun rarely fell into some kind of contemplation, as if he had suddenly returned to the time of the year.

These young generals were also waiting outside the tent of Zhang Taiwei, full of longing and expectation of future prospects and future. Suo Xun himself was not from a family. Strictly speaking, he was just a sinner who was exiled to guard the border during the Shenlong period. Therefore, in his father's generation, he had never left anything else except a surname he still remembered.

Then the Anshi Rebellion broke out and the Tubo people also came to kill. The Tang people, who were between Helong and Helong, all became slaves of ugly women from the plateau. Because of their rough understanding of foreign vassals, his father was named a minor official with a sword and pen, and pointed to a fishy Hu girl like a livestock, giving birth to several children for her breeding.

However, this temporary lenient and warmth were just some illusion. Soon, Suoxun's brothers and sisters were taken away and sold by the Tubo people like animals. Only Suoxun, who was in the middle, was able to please the Hu people appointed by the Tubo people, was able to stay with his premature father and sent him to his last journey.

Because they could not be buried in the soil and buried in accordance with the Han etiquette, they could only bury them secretly at night, and then continued to be the Shunmin of the Tubo people with a burning heart. Suo Xun even became the follower of the son of the Tubo nobles, and continued to accept the fate of being treated wantonly after being bred.

However, compared with the female slaves who were forced to be sent by the master to various people and gave birth to children, the situation of these men was nothing. Therefore, when Yichao Gong raised the banner of returning to China in Guasha, and the shocks in various places continued to respond, Suo Xun also attacked and killed his familiar little master without hesitation, and seized the saddle horse sabre bow and led a group of riots "Wen Mo" and went to join him.

Ye Chaogong, who dared to follow them with just a few rumors that he heard about, also valued and was willing to support them. Therefore, under the command of Yi Chaogong, he followed the Yan Ri Battle Banner, and went from a team leader to a jail, a flag plaque, and ten generals in front of the yamen, and became the front line envoy of the army;

Later, in the battle of Xizhou where the Uighur tribe was vassal, he rewarded the credit for capturing the enemy's chief in the battle. Not only was he promoted by Duke Yichao to be the commander in front of the yamen, but he also married his daughter to him, and as the wings of Zhang, he embarked on the fast lane of power and fame. Therefore, before Prince Yichao entered the court on his own initiative, Suo Xun had become one of the few left-mabuduan yamen under the tent, and was also the leader of many young military generals from Hanshu.

Therefore, he knew that Yi Chaogong was so supportive and loving, and was also to support a group of families with available checks and balances and confrontations. Those who also grew up in the process of fighting and clearing out local Tubo forces because of their subordinates and following the Guiyi Army. The Zhang family was just one of them at first.

However, Duke Yichao handed over the position of Jishuai to his nephew Zhang Huaishen, and his decision to bring his son Zhang Huai into Beijing. Although he was open and righteous, it also laid some hidden dangers within the Guiyi Army. Because Zhang Huaishen, as the successor, was not confident enough to take over the position and authority, and his personality was gentle and generous.

Therefore, although the military and civilians were able to recuperate during his tenure, the Guiyi Army's conscription gradually stagnated, and they tended to be more conservative diplomatic and power-making methods; this also made the families who still made a lot of profits from it somewhat dissatisfied. However, relying on the prestige of Yichaogong and the support of many Zhang's followers, it was a smooth journey that had been smoothly passed for more than 20 years.

Just as everyone had adapted to the style of this gentle envoy, Suo Xun also took his grandson early. Suddenly, the news of Duke Yichao's death in Beijing came, making every household cry for it. The eldest son Zhang Huaiding, who was later released by the court, and the entanglement of the court's refusal to chase the title and recognize the Guiyi Army's honor, all began to cast a shadow within the Guiyi Army.

In contrast, Suo Xun was the one who firmly defended Zhang's authority. Even though he had secretly collided with and confronted those agents of aristocratic families many times. However, what disappointed him was that Zhang Huaishen, who was still stable in style, had become mixed up in everything, and even began to secretly drink and relieve his sorrows, and no longer care about political affairs.

Therefore, when a hard-core relative like Suoxun was repeatedly ineffective in admonition and began to feel a little unrestrained and helpless, someone appeared in front of him and made a suggestion; a temporary solution to keep the position of Jieshuai in the hands of Zhang's legitimate children without violating the oath to Yichao Gong, but also changing the status quo.

However, since the Jieshou Zhang Huaishen was suddenly stabbed to death by a strange general from behind him in front of him who was responsible for forcing the palace, everything was irreversible. In contrast, he even had to take the initiative to take the blame for killing the old master, and even to give enough letters of surrender to Zheng Xianggong, who was in charge of the court's status as a court official, he personally led his troops to kill the old master and his confidant subordinates in order to win the army to Liangzhou.

However, even he himself did not know that this was leading them, the young children of the Guiyi Army, toward their wealthy future that was eager to make contributions and serve the country and gain a reputation; or to lead them to a dead end and abyss where they could not see the end of the front? But no matter what, he had harmed the former Guiyi Army leader, had no possibility of turning back or compromise; he could only grit his teeth and lick his blood to continue the path of powerful ministers.

The only thing he could count on was that through the disguised weakening and grinding of this war, the power of the generals and local tribes in the Guiyi Army neighbors; and in the end, he could also obtain the qualification and territory and household registration of a corner of the Central Plains by helping the imperial court's revival cause.

In this way, he can stay away from the cold, barren and secretly crowded Helong land, and take his family members who are willing to follow his family; cut the soil and stand on their own in the warm and rich Central Plains, and start a new career again, and even be called the origin of a new family...

Therefore, he did not resent Zheng Xianggong who forced him to this situation. After all, even if there was no foreign Zheng Xiang forcibly urging him, the conflicts that would be unresolved between the old and new factions of the Guiyi Army, between many local families and the poor military achievements, between naturalized people and native Tang surnames; it would be extremely controversial every year; sooner or later, it would be impossible to bridge the old generals who lost their weakness and worry and softness, and would break up again.

Thinking of this, his heart became more and more firm as iron and stone, and he couldn't wait to make himself discovery, Chengming and Mr. Tang were on the way.

At the same time, in front of the Vajra, the Mandala of the Two Realms of the Fae-cang, and the Wall Color Group of Sache in the Five Worlds; wearing a deep purple robe, he looked particularly thin, and his hair bun was always meticulous and a few strands of frosty white pen, the Prime Minister Zheng Ting; he was also staring at the Wall Style with his back hands and silently listening to the report behind him.

"The news has been confirmed... the demon monk has already taken over the Han girl and has been openly accompanying him and leaving..."

A middle-aged man who is over 40 years old but still looks handsome and elegant, said in a faint and incredible tone:

"Don't send people there anymore... This thief is afraid that he has some strange means and can trick everyone into using it for himself. Now there are not many people available in Lingxue Pavilion, and it is not enough to supplement it. There is no need to get in for no reason."

After pondering for a while, Zheng Ting opened his voice:

"Old Tang, I'm afraid things are far more than that..."

The handsome middle-aged man said again:

"What, what other inside story?"

Zheng Ting still didn't look back, but his tone tightened.

"Because someone saw that the descendants of Nie's family, the Jingshi's clan who was transferred to Huainan, and the remnants of Qixiufang in the past, were all followed one after another."

Junya, middle-aged man, said hesitantly:

"This guy is so rude... If this is the case, then the Han girl is not wronged, and Ling Xuege will send someone over there to no avail..."

However, Zheng Ting suddenly lost his voice for a moment before he said quietly:

Although the so-called Lingxue Pavilion was founded the latest among many assassin families, it was the closest and closest branch to the royal family. It can be traced back to the end of the Wu Zhou era, and when Emperor Kaiyuan (Zheng Xuanzong of Tang) was an ordinary royal family, the governor of Luzhou.

Although in the later Shenlong Revolution, five ministers including Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi and Cui Xuanwei decisively launched a coup in Luodu, killing Zhang Yizhi's brothers who were reborn by Empress Zetian and his party forces under the name of the Crown He Mansion; and forcing the Empress to abdicate and become the Prince/Luling King Li Xian as Zhongzong, announcing the end of the era of the Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

However, a group of women led by Empress Wei, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping and Princess Anle, who were surrounded by Zhongzong, still inherited the ambitions and skills left by Wu Zhou, thus controlling the court inside and outside, forming a subsequent era called the world of women. Even the five ministers including Zhang Jianzhi, who had the great contribution to restoration, were first named kings and then undermined, and finally framed the position and pursued the crime and were killed on the road to exile in Lingnan.

Therefore, as one of the compatriots of Zhongzong, he was also the only remaining son of the empress. He first made the emperor in his mother Wu Zetian, and second, he made the prince in his brother Li Xian, and was appointed as the Grand Marshal. He was the third rank of Fengge Luantai. He participated in the national affairs as the prime minister and was also given the title of Prime Minister Li Dan, the Prime Minister of Anguo. His situation suddenly became sinister and difficult.
