Chapter 334 The Terrible Chai Rong
Gao Shaoji is really too much. His father died of illness and did not cause any funeral. He got a coffin and threw his father in it casually, hid it in the flower room behind, and did not allow anyone to approach it. Bookmark this site
After all, it was his biological father, so he didn't burn paper or cry. After a few months, the body rotted and smelled bad. Gao Shaoji didn't care.
He is now focused on taking over his father's position and becoming the governor of the Zhangwu Army.
There are many benefits to being a Jiedu, such as having money, soldiers, and women... He has begun to enjoy the glory of the Jiedu in advance.
Three years ago, a businessman gave his father a pair of singers from the Western Regions. He had white skin as white as snow, flexible as a snake, charming eyes, and a slim figure, making him look like two fairies coming down from the sky.
Gao Shaoji salivated and drooled all over the floor, but that was his father's treasure, and others couldn't even see it. Now that his father is dead, the two beauties are his.
Gao Shaoji hugged the beauty and was wandering around day and night. He took out a lot of gold and silver to buy the imperial officials and help him speak. Of course, Gao Shaoji would not do business at a loss. Under the banner of treating his father, he asked the merchants under his control to offer precious medicinal materials. If he couldn't take them out, it would be converted into silver.
In fact, Gao Shaoji's subordinates do not have medicinal materials at all. What are the ginseng Polygonum multiflorum and snow lotus Ganoderma lucidum? If everyone dies, can they still die in the flesh and bones of the dead?
To put it bluntly, it is to make money and to ask for money!
In just a few months, Gao Shaoji plundered 150,000 taels.
He used this money to recruit another 3,000 outlaws, and joined the army to expand his strength.
It would be fine if the court gave him the position of governor. If he didn't give it, I would rob him!
Just when Gao Shaoji was fully prepared, he led 3,000 cavalry from the direction of the prefecture and the province to rush to Yanzhou. In addition, Zhang Huaizhen was sent to lead 10,000 people to kill him in the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Surprisingly, Li Guangrui, the young master of Dangxiang, sent 5,000 people.
The three parties were as powerful as rainbows, pressing towards Yanzhou.
Gao Shaoji was furious, shocked and angry. He asked his generals and deputy governor Zhang Kuangtu to lead troops to fight against the Zhe family army.
Gao Shaoji calculated that the court had a great power, and if he directly broke up with the Great Zhou, the consequences would be unimaginable. But if he defeated the Zhe family first, it would be like he would break the court's arm.
Without the cooperation of local snakes who are familiar with the situation, no matter how many people come, they may not be his opponent.
This kid is very good at planning, but he underestimated the power of the Zhe family army. Three thousand iron cavalry, against 10,000 Yanzhou soldiers, Zhe Congruan took the lead in fighting, defeating Zhao Kuangtu and losing his troops.
Three large armies took advantage of the situation to surround Yanzhou.
Gao Shaoji was not convinced, so he decided to defend himself by relying on the strong city and drag down the enemy.
That night, Zhang Huaizhen invited two people to discuss strategies against the enemy.
On the fifth night, Dazhou dispatched engineers. They went under the city wall and opened a gap with explosives. When they heard the explosion, they were military orders, and three armies attacked Yanzhou fiercely.
After fighting for a whole night, Yanzhou City was broken, Gao Shaoji, Zhao Kuangtu, and hundreds of people were all captured.
Zhang Huaizhen found Gao Yunquan's coffin in Gao Mansion. The man was rotten and covered with maggots and could not be identified. After interrogation, it was confirmed that it was Gao Yunquan. Zhang Huaizhen immediately sent someone to Beijing to report the victory, and secretly concealed Gao Shaoji's death news, wrote a fake memorial to deceive the court, and even gathered a group to report to Chai Rong for the rebellion, asking the emperor to decide.
Chai Rong was not polite, "What are you keeping him for? Hanging!"
With a big stroke, hundreds of lives were killed, and they were clean and neat.
Chai Rong then issued an order to lead the general Han Tong to station in Yanzhou, and to add Han Tong as the governor of the Zhangwu Army!
As a young general, Ye Hua was the first to be awarded the title of title until he recovered Yingzhou and other places. He was appointed as the governor of the Xiong'an Army and still maintained the fastest record. Following closely behind was Zhao Kuangyin. When Guo Chong was killed, he became the governor of the Tianxiong Army and served as the left-behind Youzhou.
Han Tong was the third young general to climb to the position of Jiedu.
Over the past few years, after being born and killed, all of them were covered with scars. Han Tongyong's own loyalty and courage have brought him a high position in the military governor, and everyone is convinced!
Of course, with Zhang Yongde's contribution, he could have become the governor in advance, but he had to endure it because he had an unlucky wife.
Han Tong's promotion not only shows that Chai Rong's confidants are beginning to take power, but also a very important signal!
From then on, the governors in various places were no longer passed down from father to son, nor were they recommended by subordinates. They were all appointed by the court, and the emperor nodded!
If you violate this iron rule, send troops to attack immediately, there is nothing else to say!
In order to give warriors all over the world, Chai Rong even issued an order to disperse all the troops of the Zhangwu Army and reorganize them and send them to Youzhou to guard the border!
This move completely shocked everyone.
First, he abolished 100,000 imperial guards and then dealt with the Zhangwu army. Chai Rong made two consecutive attacks, allowing people to see the emperor's courage.
New atmosphere came out in an instant.
It turns out that the arrogant warriors are now all honest.
Ask yourself!
Is Wang Yin strong? He is dead!
Whether Chen Sirang is strong or not, cut it in half!
How did the local emperor Gao’s family be destroyed!
Let me ask, who has the courage to challenge His Majesty the Emperor?
If you don’t want to die, be honest and obedient!
Chai Rong followed the situation and required that the training of the imperial guards must be mainly based on the Privy Council, the Three Ya and the Ministry of War. Generals are not allowed to recruit soldiers privately. Local wing troops must be reorganized, verified the number of people, and reported to the court truthfully, and registered. For all local military generals, the appointment and removal of local military generals, the emperor will be submitted to the emperor and made a ruling.
In a word, all military power belongs to the emperor.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the once arrogant and domineering vassal forces were wiped out.
If you can listen to Chai Rong as you are from now on, it would be too optimistic, but overall, it is simply incomparable to the past.
Some civil officials even wrote a letter to praise Chai Rong, saying that His Majesty has eliminated the accumulated problems over the past two hundred years and has made great achievements. He has chased the prosperous Tang Dynasty and moved to the Han Dynasty... Chai Rong threw such unreliable flattery memorials aside.
That night, he did not stay in the palace, but returned to Qiandi, which was the original King of Jin's mansion.
The royal mansion is only one gate separated from the Ye mansion. Chai Rong wanted to go and take a look, but when he arrived at the door, he stopped again, "Go and invite the champion Hou."
The eunuch agreed, and Ye Hua came soon.
"I pay homage to your Majesty!"
Chai Rong smiled, "I originally wanted to see you, but thinking of my current identity, it is inevitable that your family will be uneasy when I go, so I let you come here." Chai Rong laughed at himself, "As the emperor, I can't even leave my relatives... Come and have a drink with me."
Chai Rong prepared two cups, and Ye Hua's one was obviously larger than the size.
"Your Majesty, Is my wine glass usurped?"
"Hahaha, I know you have a good alcohol tolerance, the same cup, can I drink you?" Chai Rong was in a really good mood. He took the initiative to pour a full cup for Ye Hua and also a cup himself.
The king and his minister were drinking under the moon.
Chai Rong's cup was less than half as big as Ye Hua, but the person who got drunk first was Chai Rong. His eyes were red and he smiled very proudly.
"Ye, Ye Qing, do you know the story of Li Keyong who once gave Li Cunxu three arrows to lose?"
"Know!"
Ye Hua was very clear-headed and said clearly: "Li Keyong had three regrets when he was dying. Therefore, he prepared three arrows and handed them over to his son Li Cunxu. Li Keyong said: 'Liang is my hatred; the King of Yan, I established, the Khitan made a promise to me as brothers, and they all bowed to Jin and returned to Liang. These three are my regrets. With you three arrows, you will never forget the ambition of your father!', Zhuangzong Li Cunxu did not let down his father's will. Zhuangzong received and hid it in the temple. Later, he used troops, and sent an entourage to report to the temple with a young man, asked for his arrows, and took them with him to the front, and accepted them in triumph. After that, he fought. Sure enough, the father and son of Yan formed a group, and sent the heads of the king and minister of Liang, entered the Taimiao, and returned to the old king to report success. His spirit was so great!"
Li Cunxu is indeed extraordinary. He is a powerful emperor. In the entire Five Dynasties, no one can compare to him except Guo Wei and Chai Rong.
Chai Rong smiled slightly, "Ye Qing, my father also gave me three arrows a few days before his death."
"Oh?" Ye Hua was shocked, "The late emperor has the last emperor entrusts his majesty to you?"
Chai Rong nodded, "Ye Qing, come with me."
He led Ye Hua to a courtyard. There was no unnecessary decoration here, and it looked very simple and simple. There were soldiers patrolling and guarding outside. Seeing that his descended, he hurriedly bowed.
Chai Rong walked in, walked all the way to the front of the main room, and opened the door.
Ye Hua followed behind, and the room was still very simple, with only one shrine and a few mats. On the shrine, there were three arrows enshrined. These were the three major tasks given to Chai Rong by Guo Wei!
"Ye Qing, come up."
Ye Hua bowed to the front of the table and looked up.
Under the first arrow, there is a yellow cloth with the words "Fatherland" written in cinnabar on it. This is Guo Wei's request to Chai Rong to eliminate the separatist rule of the feudal states!
The second arrow also has a yellow cloth, which says Yan Yun!
"Ye Qing, you may guess what the third arrow is?" Chai Rong asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, it should be the world!"
"That's right!"
Chai Rong was overjoyed, "Ye Qing really knew the heart of his father and his thoughts!"
Chai Rong took big steps, paced back and forth in the room, and smiled and said, "The father gave me three arrows, not only to let me fulfill my three last wishes, but also to remind me that I cannot be proud and not repeat the same mistakes."
Chai Rong said bluntly: "Zhuang Zong Li Cunxu, he had the opportunity to wipe out the world, but he was obsessed with the feelings and was useless to use people. He indulged the queen in politics, favored actors, eunuchs, stingy in levies and was stingy in money, which led to the trouble of the people, the soldiers became disinterested, and eventually died in the Xingjiao Sect. Ye Qing, what do you think Li Cunxu was wrong?"
Ye Hua smiled, "The late emperor has told Your Majesty that Li Cunxu was wrong because of his complacent ambitions and short-sightedness! When he destroyed Liang Yan, he thought that the world was peaceful and could be enjoyed with confidence, but he did not notice that the Khitan soldiers were outside, the southern countries were separatist and the heroes and generals in the court fought against each other, and were disloyal and moral. How dare he claim to be successful?"
