The 167th chapter rebellion is not a dinner party (1)

Yang Yao's sage and his party arrived in front of Zhang Qianxu's military camp.

The guardian Emperor Yang Yao came to Xue Chuyu's five thousand dragon martial army, as well as a hundred eunuchs and palace maids who served him.

Zhang Qianxu had already led Yao Chong and other generals out of the military camp to welcome Yang Yao's sage. The three thousand soldiers who accompanied the army shouted "Long live the three-year-old man" together.

Yang Yao got off the dragon chasing and laughed and approached Zhang Qianxu. He seemed to meet his friend who had been close friends for many years. He held Zhang Qianxu's hand and helped him up. "General Zhang, Wu Sansi led his army back to Luoyang to rebel. I was worried, thinking about how to retreat to the enemy. I never thought that General Zhang was loyal and returned to the army to suppress the rebellion. I feel no comfort!"

Zhang Qianxu was stunned on the spot. He had no personal relationship with the emperor before, nor had any contact. But the emperor was so arrogant that he came to greet him in person. No matter what the emperor was thinking, it was a great honor for his ministers!

What's more, the emperor did not mention the intention of Zhang Qianxu, who was fighting against the rebellion on the Jianghuai front line, suddenly returned to Luoyang, nor did he mention his intention to test it out, and was able to get along with others. Instead, he gave a reasonable explanation for him that he had returned to the army to suppress the rebellion.

The emperor made a promise and made Zhang Qianxu's return to his teacher in just a few words.

As soon as he came into contact, Zhang Qianxu developed a three-point favor to the emperor. If this is considered a foolish monarch, then what does a wise monarch look like?

Zhang Qianxu hurriedly welcomed Yang Yao back to the military camp respectfully.

At the gate of the military camp, Zhang Qianxu knew that the test was too abrupt and hurriedly said, "Master, I have prepared a big banquet in the military camp and also prepared a large camp for the Longwu Army to station."

Yang Yao laughed and said, "General Zhang's loyalty to the emperor is known to everyone in the world. I am here to inspect General Zhang's deployment this time. With General Zhang personally guarding him, the Longwu Army will be stationed outside the military camp!"

Yang Yao did not play cards according to common sense, which made Zhang Qianxu confused. Until this time, he had not made up his mind to surrender to the emperor, and he still joined forces with Pei Yan.

The more the emperor put on such a trusting posture, the more he felt unsure of Zhang Qianxu!

Is this the emperor really arrogant, or has other plans?

Since the emperor had a sage, Zhang Qianxu could only respectfully obey the order and ordered the Longwu Army to be stationed outside the military camp, and welcome the emperor, one hundred eunuchs and palace maids into the military camp.

After settling down the emperor and his party, before Pei Yan and his party arrived, Zhang Qianxu hurriedly pulled his think tank Yao Chong to a remote place to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Qianxu asked, "Yao joined the army and the emperor brought a mere hundred eunuchs to the military camp. What are the plans? Is there any conspiracy hidden?"

Yao Chong has become Zhang Qianxu's confidant. He used letters to test the emperor's plan, which was Yao Chong's. Since the emperor personally arrived at the military camp and did not allow the Longwu Army to enter the military camp, the result of the test was about to come out. The emperor was willing to give Zhang Qianxu a last chance to show his loyalty. If Zhang Qianxu was lost and stood on the emperor's side, he would not have liquidated again later.

Yao Chong twisted his beard and said slowly, "The general is too suspicious. The emperor came to inspect the general's military camp. The general protected the safety of the emperor. This is the most normal courtesy of the monarch and ministers! The emperor treated the general with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and gave all his wealth and life to the general. How much does this value? This is the greatest honor and favor of the minister!"

Zhang Qianxu patted his forehead and suddenly said, "So that's it. If it weren't for the guidance of the army, I would have misled a big deal!"

As the two were talking, the soldiers hurriedly came to report, and Pei Yan brought all civil and military officials to the military camp.

Zhang Qianxu asked, "How many soldiers did Pei Yan bring?"

The soldiers said truthfully, "Ten thousand soldiers and horses are led by Cheng Wuting. Moreover, Pei Yan also proposed to bring five thousand soldiers and horses into the military camp to protect the safety of all officials."

Yao Chong smiled coldly and said, "Pei Yan is really the safety of all officials? It is the safety of his own!"

He said to Zhang Qianxu, who was hesitant, "General! The emperor is very concerned about the general, which shows that the emperor is very kind; and Pei Yan strictly guards the general, which shows that this person is treacherous and guilty. Pei Yan seems to be trying his best to win over the general, but it is just a stopgap before seizing power. If Pei Yan really seizes power, I am really worried for the general, will he hide all his bows!"

Yao Chong's words were every word. Zhang Qianxu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "Yao's words and even famous sayings, but most of the officials in the court are famous families in Luoyang. What do these people think? Let me wait and see again!"

Zhang Qianxu's worries were not aimless. Although the imperial examinations occurred in the Tang Dynasty, it basically continued the situation where the emperor and the famous families ruled the world since the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. If the famous families in Luoyang did not support the emperor, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Luoyang just by relying on the emperor and a wave of big-headed soldiers coming from Guanzhong.

The attitude of all officials in the court is indeed a very important trend.

The feast begins!

Yang Yao and Pei Yan finally met again.

However, Yang Yao was no longer the same as before. He solved the empress dowager who had been in charge of the world for 30 years, which made Yang Yao's prestige already surpass Pei Yan.

Yang Yao smiled and said, "Pei Zhongshu, you have been busy rebelling with the deposed prince Li Xian recently. It's so hard and hard. Are you sleeping well at night? Are you unwilling to eat?!"

The emperor spoke sarcastically, and Pei Yan naturally could not be at a disadvantage. He retorted, "The old minister is the minister of the regent appointed by the advanced emperor. He should obey the secret edict of the advanced emperor and abolish the lord, the tyrant monarch who is indecisive and act in a rebellious manner. He must devote himself to the throne of the predecessor prince, and he must die until his death!"

Yang Yao smiled coldly, "Shu Pei, I and the Empress Dowager are not aware of the so-called secret edict, you are the only one. I searched all over the palace, but I have never seen the secret edict. As the minister of the regent, do you not know that the lonely edict is not an edict, and any royal edict must be kept in double order before it can take effect?"

"Pei Zhongshu is not familiar with the official system of the Tang Dynasty, so he forged a secret edict that was too fake and fabricated such a false reason that could not be fake to rebel. It seems that Pei Zhongshu is not competent for the position of the Zhongshu Order!"

Yang Yao ridiculed Pei Yan fiercely, and then said to Wang Dedao, "The eunuch Wang De, read my edict!"

Wang De spread out the edict that had been prepared long ago and said loudly, "The emperor has an order to abolish Pei Yan's position as the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Administration, and submit it to the Three Divisions for trial. The families of Pei Yan's three tribes, all male members were guilty of the same crime as Pei Yan, and the female family was confiscated!"

Before Pei Yan and the officials in the court had a hot day, the emperor threw out the king's bomb straight to the point, and directly wanted to depose Pei Yan and handed it over to the three departments for guilt.

Of course, Pei Yan could not show weakness, so he also stood up and said loudly, "The old minister followed the will of the previous emperor to support the former crown prince Li Xian ascended the throne. He hoped that the general of Yulin Guard Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianxu, the civil and military officials present followed the will of heaven, followed the public, abolished the foolish monarch, and supported the country and country of the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Wuting drew out his sword and shouted, "The soldiers of the Yulin Guard will join me to destroy the foolish monarch and support the Tang Dynasty!"

Cheng Wuting had a high prestige in the army, which was incomparable to the second generation like Wu Youyi. At that moment, a hundred imperial guards came out, really wanted to step forward and drag the emperor down.

Yao Chong, who had been watching for a long time, saw that Cheng Wuting dared to fire his sword and gun at the emperor, shouted loudly, "Bold Cheng Wuting, dare to commit a rebellion, come and protect the emperor!"

Three hundred soldiers rushed to the emperor in unison, with three layers of protection inside and three layers of outer layers blocking Cheng Wuting's imperial guards outside.

Both sides were directly at odds, and everyone present looked at each other and didn't know how to deal with it.
