subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 Another year

Wang Duo was killed near Weizhou. This was not a trivial matter, and soon spread throughout the country.Who is Wang Duo?An important minister who used to have power over the government and the opposition. He was the commander of all roads and camps, and the commander of the camps on all sides of the capital.Although he was squeezed out by Tian Lingzi all these years, he was still in the town of Jiefang. Of course, the status of the envoy was not concealed. How could he not cause an uproar if he died in Weizhou for no apparent reason?

The first person to receive the report was Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Le Yanzhen. Le Yanzhen, whose real name was Le Xingda, was a trusted general of the former Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Han Jian, and was appointed by Han Jian as the governor of Chanzhou.Later, Han Jian took advantage of Huang Chao's entrenched position in Chang'an to attack cities and seize territories in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos to expand his power. He once occupied the three towns of Heyang, forcing Zhuge Shuang to be homeless; brother) outside the city of Yunzhou and besieged Yunzhou.The power of the army is the same for a while, and the far and near towns dare not fight the enemy.

But later Zhuge Shuang returned to the army to attack Heyang, cutting off Han Jian's retreat. Han Jian had to give up attacking Yunzhou and attack Heyang again. Unexpectedly, the general Le Xingda left without a fight and went back to Weizhou directly to occupy Weizhou. , claiming to stay behind.Han Jian died in shock, and Le Xingda took control of Weizhou. The court could only accept him as Jiedu envoy, and named him Le Yanzhen in the third year of Zhonghe. Zhang Shi (the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was too worthless).

After he heard the news, he thought it was some kind of bandit who dared to make such a big noise on his own territory, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. These mountain kings are all under the care of him, Le Yanzhen. Yan Zhen's troops had wiped them out long ago.The reason why he was unhappy was not because someone killed Wang Duo in his own territory, but because they killed Wang Duo without communicating with him, and now Le Yanzhen was really angry.

He was about to gather people to find this unsightly cottage, to see who had the guts to commit such a big case without his consent.But he was dumbfounded as soon as he went out, and he saw his son ordering people to carry the big boxes to the house, and there were several pretty women who were crying and being pulled into them by several women.

At this moment, Le Yanzhen finally understood, it turned out that it wasn't some short-sighted mountain king nearby who dared to do such a big case without telling him, but his precious son did this kind of thing.This time Le Yanzhen became even more angry, and quickly stepped forward to Le Congxun's side, hugging his head and giving him two slaps.

While slapping his mouth, he cursed: "You kid has grown up! How dare you mess around like this? Don't you see who Wang Duo is? Is this something you can do? I don't have enough money at home for you to spend Are you still robbing that old guy Wang Duo of the remaining flowers and willows, you really give me face!"

These two slaps and scolding made Le Congxun, who was so happy just now, completely lost his temper, kept silent like a good baby, and didn't dare to look at his father with his head down.

Le Yanzhen turned his head and scolded the two lieutenants following his son: "You two too, the young master is young and ignorant, don't you know? This is a big deal, what is Wang Duo's identity? How dare you Let's start, if it is revealed, I may not be able to protect you."

The two deputy generals didn't dare to say anything when they saw the young master, and they were even more afraid to speak.

Le Yanzhen was telling the truth. If outsiders found out that it was Le Congxun's hands, the court would definitely hold him accountable. When the time comes, will he punish his son or shield him?I am also very embarrassed.

Le Yanzhen was angry for a while, and it was over. After all, the matter had already been done, and now he could only think about how to deal with the aftermath. It was useless to think about other things.Le Congxun inadvertently took a look at the concubines of Wang Duo that his son had snatched away. He didn't know if he didn't look at them, but he understood why his son would attack Wang Duo. It turned out that these women were very handsome. It's terrible, Le Cong said in a thoughtful way: "Wang Duo, an old pervert, has a good eye, and he has recruited beauties of this level. Why don't I have such a good fortune?"

In fact, he didn't even think about it, who is Wang Duo?How can he be compared with a martial artist?After all, Wang Duo is a literati, so his vision is naturally much higher than that of a military general like him. In fact, although these women are somewhat beautiful, they are not outstanding in the world, but Le Yanzhen and his father and son are rare and strange.After all, there aren't any beauties in Wei Bo, so how can we not fascinate them when we see a few Jiangnan girls occasionally?

Le Yanzhen asked Le Congxun: "Is there any fish that slipped through the net in this operation? Don't let this matter spread. If anyone dares to spread the word, I will let him go around."

Le Congxun hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, my cooking is very clean, not a single fish slipped through the net, and at that time we were all dressed as bandits, so we were not afraid of people seeing us, even if people saw us, they might not know who we were. There are quite a few bandits around here, and we can definitely push things to them."

Le Yanzhen took a look at those delicate women, and said: "They are all alive, it may not be of any benefit to keep them, they should be handed over to the father to deal with..." There was an uneasy flash in his eyes evil smile.

As the saying goes, there is no one who knows a son like a father, but the reverse is still true, and the sentence "Knowing a father is like a son" is also true. Le Congxun clearly knew that the old man had a crush on these women, but he didn't dare to argue, so he had to think in his heart. Cursed secretly: "Old pervert, it's really unreasonable to call others monsters when you have hair all over your body."

Seeing his son leaving angrily, Le Yanzhen ordered the women to take the women to the side room to rest, but he ran to the study and wrote a memorial in a hurry.It is said that Wang Duo carried a large amount of gold and silver property as well as beautiful wives and concubines on his way from Huazhou (the seat of the Yicheng Army) to Cangzhou (the seat of the Yichang Army). The bandits robbed gold, silver and concubines in Weizhou, and killed Wang Duo and the 300 guards and staff who accompanied him.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and it was already the end of the new year when his memorial was sent to Chengdu by the fast horse. Of course, Li Xuan and Tian Lingzi would not believe Le Yanzhen's nonsense, but now the court does not have enough strength to move Le Yanzhen, He could only turn a blind eye and close one eye, not to mention Tian Lingzi was at odds with Wang Duo.

Wang Duo was originally Tian Lingzi's confidant, but later he became more and more powerful, and he didn't respect Tian Lingzi very much. Tian Lingzi pushed Wang Duo away. Now that Wang Duo is dead, it's too late for Tian Lingzi to be happy. How could he pursue Le Yanzhen's responsibility? ?

When Zhu Wen heard the news of Wang Duo's death, he felt very unhappy. After all, it was Wang Duo and Yang Fuguang who pulled Zhu Wen out of Huang Chao's camp and recommended him to Xuanwu as an example. It can be said that Wang Duo was kind to Zhu Wen. .But if Zhu Wen were to meet Le Yanzhen for Wang Duo's sake, Zhu Wen would not do so. After all, Zhu Wen's biggest enemy now is Qin Zongquan, a guy who is not as good as a beast.Compared to Qin Zongquan's crimes, Le Yanzhen and his son are simply pediatrics, and they can even be said to be good people.

Besides, it’s Chinese New Year now, and Kang Jian from Bozhou sent news that Meizi Yamaguchi was pregnant for three months, which caught Zhu Wen by surprise. The relationship with Meizi Yamaguchi was just a whim When I was a child, I had so many random relationships with her, but I didn't expect that the Japanese woman who was pure on the surface but very hot on the bed was pregnant.

Zhu Wen couldn't keep this from his mother and wife Zhang Xiaohui for a long time, so he still planned to confess and be lenient, so he found a chance to tell Zhang Xiaohui the truth.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaohui just smiled and said: "How can a cat not eat fishy fish? Now that I have done everything, why do you tell me what to do? It is only reasonable to find time to take them over. After all, Bozhou's military strength is weak, and it is at the same time as the Qin bandits. On the front line of the battle, if there is a loss in Bozhou, wouldn't it hurt the flesh and blood of your old Zhu family?"

The gratitude in Zhu Wen's heart, really, what a good wife, the man's messing around outside made her belly big, the wife not only didn't blame her, but even persuaded her husband to take the third child home, this is what happened Such a good daughter-in-law can exist in this era.If this matter were placed in the modern age of the 21st century, it wouldn't be an uproar. If we cried and hanged ourselves for divorce, what a headache it would be?

Zhu Wen couldn't help sighing, except that there were no computers, air conditioners, and TVs in this ancient time, everything else was pretty good. At least the women in this ancient time were more docile and open-minded. Can Zhu Wen, a good socialist young man who is used to jealousy, be filled with emotion?

Zhu Wen really wanted to bring Meizi Yamaguchi to celebrate the New Year with everyone. After all, a woman of a foreign race was celebrating the New Year in Bozhou alone with her own child. It made me sad to think about it. Besides, Meizi Yamaguchi’s parents were all in Guangzhou. When he died in the chaos, it can be said that Zhu Wen was the indirect murderer, and it was Zhu Wen who ordered the massacre of the city.

At that time, Umeko Yamaguchi was still young, only about 13 years old, and Japanese women’s natural respect for their parents was not very good. If Japanese women were asked to choose between their parents and husbands, most women would choose their husbands. This does not work in China, this is the cultural difference.

It’s the Chinese New Year again, and now Zhu Wen has been in this era for five or six years. He has changed from a 24-year-old boy to a young man in his [-]s, and he has gone step by step from a penniless tramp Today, the South and North Wars have almost covered most of China.Up to now, as a town of Fangjie, a feudal lord and minister, and an extremely personable minister, walking step by step in these years is like a dream.

However, all of this is still progressing according to the historical track, but now the military camps of the Xuanwu Army in various states are equipped with a lot of gunpowder weapons, even revolvers, single-shot rifles (firecrackers), thunderbolts (hand grenades), etc. Advanced weapons have been produced one after another.In terms of economy, banks and factories were opened, and iron-making technology was improved, which provided conditions for the production of more advanced weapons in the future.All of this is very different from the history that Zhu Wen is familiar with.

Zhu Wen can almost conclude that it is almost impossible for future history to develop on the established track.

With the sound of firecrackers outside the window, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, turning into colorful shooting stars, and then gradually fell and disappeared. It was another new year, Zhu Wen sighed in his heart.
