The Human Emperor

Adopting Zhang Shougui's recommendation, he promoted the former Youzhou old general Anzha Nangshan as the protector of the Anton capital, and temporarily replaced him. When the court finds a suitable candidate, he will be appointed and removed.

...

The news came out, shaking the world, especially for the entire military high-level of Datang, which brought a great impact.

Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, Gao Xianzhi, An Sishun..., almost all of these empire’s guards and generals, all of them listened to Zhang Shougui’s rise in the army step by step. For this generation, Zhang Shougui became famous. At the time, all the famous generals of these empires were just a small captain or captain, and Zhang Shougui's brilliant record was enough to make anyone look up.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shougui has great influence and a pivotal position in the military.

But now, this victorious general who once wanted to aspire to the supreme power of the empire and become the prime minister, because of a great battle, he was deprived of military power and was demoted to the position of the provincial governor. Legendary, this is definitely a shame!

Hearing this news, everyone's hearts were moved.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that Zhang Shougui was asked to enter the Beijing Miansheng, and he would personally report on the work of Youzhou? How could such an order be suddenly issued?"

In the foreign palace hall, Wang Chong felt heavy on receiving the news.

Including the state governor!

In the news sent back by the spy team, there was nothing more touching to him than these four words. Of course, Wang Chong remembered that it was the place where Zhang Shougui died.

After being demoted to Kuozhou by the Holy Emperor, Zhang Shougui soon died in depression.

History went round and round, and compared with the previous life, a great change had taken place. Wang Chong did not expect that the first time he came into contact with the four words of Kuozhou shishi, he would actually be in this way.

Wang Chong did not expect that in this life, Zhang Shougui would still be demoted to the position of governor of Kuozhou.

And in this way, he was exposed to his destiny.

If he was deprived of the official position of An Dong’s major guardian, and with Zhang Shougui’s qualifications, there is still a chance to make a comeback and return to Youzhou, then now, Zhang Shougui has completely lost all hope.

Including the state governor, this is an out-and-out civil service!

As a military commander, he was given a civil post, which also meant that Zhang Shougui had completely lost the chance of a comeback.

"We don’t know the specific situation. We only know that the order issued by the Holy Emperor in the Taiji Hall was indeed for Master Zhang to enter the capital to report on his duties. No one thought that not long ago, in the Taide Hall, the Holy Emperor suddenly changed. Idea, it doesn’t make any difference whether Zhang Shougui comes to the capital or not, and there is no need to report on his duties. Later, he was directly demoted to the position of Kuozhou governor."

Zhang Que said, panicking in his heart.

Zhang Shougui is an important figure in the Tang military, and he is like a big dipper in Taishan. Who would have thought that the holy emperor would easily determine Zhang Shougui's fate in such a hasty way.

And this order did not even go through the Ministry of War and the ministers of the court.

"Where is Zhang Shougui now?"

Wang Chong said.

"Master Zhang has arrived in Zhaoling Town, and it is still ten days away from the capital!"

Zhang Que bowed.

Wang Chong did not speak, but frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhang Shougui's current situation is very embarrassing. He originally returned to Beijing to report on his duties, but he was suddenly appointed as the governor of Kuozhou. I am afraid that Zhang Shougui was at a loss as to what to do. He didn't know whether to go to the sage or report to the officials.

Moreover, according to the usual practice, the great officials of the frontiers arrived in the capital, no matter what happened, they must first meet the holy emperor, and after seeing them, they would deal with other things.

But in the current situation, the Holy Emperor made it clear that he didn't want to see him, otherwise he wouldn't issue the imperial decree in advance.

Moreover, Zhang Shougui had an arrogant personality, and he had offended many courtiers in the court. If Zhang Shougui still maintained the status of An Dong Dadu Protector, he had already taken away his identity. Now he is just a Kuozhou provincial governor. In the court, his position is in him. A lot of the above, I am afraid that when I see a lot of old knowledge, Zhang Shougui has to bow and salute. With his arrogance, how can he do it?

"Send my order and release the news. It is said that the King of Foreign Lands welcomes Zhang Dadu and protects his return to Beijing. On the day Zhang Dadu returns to Beijing, this king will personally pick up the dust for him, and congratulate my God of War of the Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he immediately spoke.

"Lord!"

Hearing what Wang Chong said, everyone was surprised.

Wang Chong and Zhang Shougui can't talk about having too much friendship. In fact, for Zhang Shougui, even Zhang Que and others think that the prince has done his best.

——If Zhang Shougui wasn't so arrogant and could listen to Wang Chong's words, he wouldn't fall to where he is now.

Now that Zhang Shouguihu has fallen into Pingyang, there are many courtiers opposing him. Many people are unwilling to get involved in this matter, and they avoid it. No one thought that the prince would take the initiative to get involved.

Moreover, with Wang Chong’s status today, once he releases such words and personally greets Zhang Shougui, it is tantamount to deliberately advancing him with his own identity. In this way, no one in the capital can take this opportunity to deal with Zhang Shougui. .

"The prince, just in this way, the civil servants in the court will probably be dissatisfied with the prince."

In the hall, Xu Keyi hesitated for a moment, and still spoke out.

Wang Chong was a military commander and a military strategist. The relationship with Wen Dao was not very good. Now that the Northwest War is over, the civil servants in the court have finally changed their impression of Wang Chong. At this time, I went to help Zhang Shougui. Not a good time.

Moreover, Zhang Shougui did some disdainful things in the position of An Dong's major guardian. The most disdainful thing was that he used the coinage right in Youzhou without authorization.

Since ancient times, only the royal family has the real power of coinage in the empire, and only the imperial court can coin coins that circulate the entire empire. Zhang Shougui coined coins in Youzhou privately. To some extent, this has been tantamount to rebellion.

This is the biggest taboo for ministers.

At the beginning, because of this incident, there was a huge wave in the court. All the yushi united together to impeach Zhang Shougui. All the civil servants also stood up and sent a letter to the holy emperor to try to remove Zhang Shougui'an. The location of Dongda Duhu.

At that time, the situation in Northeast China was complicated, and Xi, Khitan, and Goguryeo continued to harass. This matter was forcibly suppressed by the Holy Emperor, but Zhang Shougui was also deeply hated by the Chinese ministers.

Wang Chong is standing in line with Zhang Shougui at this time, and it is very likely that the current hard-won harmony between civil and military will be torn apart.

"you are wrong!"

Wang Chong shook his head and said with a calm expression.

"Passes are mistakes, and merits are merits. Zhang Shougui served as a hero for the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to Tang. He deserves it as a hero."

"Yes, Lord!"

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, and soon understood what was going on, a wave of respect rose in their hearts, and they left soon.

Time flickered, and it was ten days in the blink of an eye. At this time, a guest greeted outside the east gate of Jingshi.

There are sparse figures on the official road. The man is dressed in black plain clothes with a moo on his head, riding a horse, standing in the middle of the official road, looking at the tall and familiar Dongcheng gate of the capital, his expression is sighing, there is something in his heart that cannot be said. With emotion.

Come home!

There was a time when he came to the capital of the capital. At that time, he was so energetic, full of civil and military affairs, who did not fear three points, and called Zhang Gong respectfully.But now a big defeat, severely disabled, but how desolate it is.

In the entire capital, there was not even a person to greet him. At this moment, Zhang Shougui felt an indescribable sadness.

Including the state governor!

I am afraid that this news has spread throughout the capital,

What a humiliation it is for a military commander to be a civilian, and it is still a peaceful land in the inland, far away from war, which is tantamount to breaking his hope that Zhang Shougui will rise again and return to Youzhou.

In addition, in the future, Wen Dao's line does not know how many "seniors" lined up to poke Zhang Shougui's backbone.

"Master Zhang!——"

Just when Zhang Shougui was feeling infinitely melancholy, suddenly, a majestic and handsome voice came from the direction of the city gate.

Booming, the next moment the city gate opened wide, the flags fluttered, and the armor was shining. Silhouettes dressed in gold armor, riding high-headed horses, lined up neatly, galloped out from the open gate.

That momentum is majestic and majestic, giving people an overwhelming, magnificent and sacred feeling, enough to make anyone look at him.

In front of these knights and soldiers in fresh and angry armor, two figures in python costumes are particularly eye-catching. They are the two extraordinary Princes of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong and Song Wang.

Beside the two, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong of the Ministry of War, Emperor Yang Zhao, Fengyan General Jiang Yuanrang, Guo Guogong, Chai Guogong, and many civil and military officials in the dynasty stood behind, along with Wang Chong, Song Wang and others. Qi Qi came forward.

Since the last goodbye, Wang Chong has not seen Zhang Shougui for at least two years.

Wang Chongce stepped forward and looked carefully at this Anton Chief Protector. He was different from the spirited, arrogant and arrogant man when he first saw him. Zhang Shougui, who had returned from the Youzhou War, looked much older.

His face was pale, with many wrinkles on his face, and he looked haggard. It is totally unimaginable that this is the Anton who fought against the Tang war god Wang Zhongsi and vowed to become the Tang Zaifu. Mostly protect Zhang Shougui.

"Jiuzhou Daduhu, Wang Chong, the king of foreign land, is here, welcome Zhang Daduhu!"

"The King of Song Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty is here, welcome Zhang Daduhu!"

"Chou Jianqiong, Shangshu Zhang of the Ministry of War, welcome Zhang Daduhu!"

"Anxi Protector, and General Yulin Gao Xianzhi, welcome Zhang Dadu!"

"Taifu Qing Yang Zhao, welcome Zhang Dadu to protect!"

"Chi Xiong, Lieutenant of the State of E, welcome Zhang Daduhu!"

"Duke Guo, Zhang Qiling, welcome Zhang Dadu to protect!"

...

After bursts of loud names resounded through the capital, Wang Chong truly showed his great influence when he met Zhang Shougui this time.
