One day, Zhang Chao may become the governor.

The envoy was in charge of the military affairs of Taozhou, the governor of Taozhou, the governor of Taozhou, the governor of Taozhou, the governor of Taozhou, the governor of the management, the recruitment envoy, the salt and iron envoy, the transfer envoy, the coin envoy, the land envoy, the golden and purple Guanglu Dafu, the Shangzhuguo, the founding marquis of Wu'an County, and the prince's guest Zhang Chao!

Really sealed three hundred households.

Zhang Chao felt that he had become the local emperor of Taozhou. He held the emperor's special gifts, the power of life and death, and the power of military and political affairs. Even financial power such as military farming and salt and iron were in his hands, as well as foreign diplomacy and war power.

Although this is not called a Jieduan, it is actually a Jieduan.

At least Zhang Chao has the right to directly appoint civil and military officials under the fifth rank of Taozhou and then report. He can even directly kill civil and military officials under the fourth rank of Taozhou and then report.

In addition, Zhang Chao had the right to directly recruit subordinates and had his own shogunate.

Being a local official, it is really a great trust from the court. This is really a complete delegation of power to him, and he can do whatever he wants.

However, Zhang Chao hates the last newly added official position, the Prince's Guest.

The court had three divisions and three dukes, and the East Palace had three divisions and three young masters. The prince's guest was a third-rank official, and was under the third divisions and three young masters of the East Palace, and above the concubines of the East Palace.

"Crown Prince Guest?" Zhang Chao shook his head and said to Yu Wenshiji without hesitation, "Your Majesty is this forcibly competing?"

"Who doesn't know about your name in Zhang Wenyuan? Do you know? Now some people even call you the God of War!"

"Military God? Me?" Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing.

"It's not my make-up. There is indeed such a saying. Now there are four gods in the Tang Dynasty's military, the war god, the war god, the war god, and the martial god. You are that warrior god!" Yu Wenshi said with a smile while stroking his long beard.

"Can I know who the other three gods are?"

"The war god Zhang Wenyuan, the war god Li Yaoshi, the war god Li Maogong, the war god are Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde!"

Hearing this result, Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing, "Can this military god be at the forefront?"

"nature!"

"What kind of virtue can I be compared with famous generals like the Tang Dynasty, and I am praised as a divine word? Could it be that I am going to praise me? Could it be that it was reported from the Eastern Palace? The prince has sent Siba assassination to assassinate me. Is it because he saw that assassination would be possible, so I changed it to praise me?"

Yu Wenshi was shocked, "The prince sent a killer to assassinate you?"

"I have captured more than ten of them after coming here."

"Where are those people, are you right?"

Zhang Chao looked at Yu Wen Shi and smiled, "Do I dare to talk nonsense about such things? As for those people, I have all fed dogs."

"Why don't you stay and send it to Chang'an?"

"Forget it, it won't be of any use to send it. Do you think the emperor's eyes, which is more important, me or the prince?"

Yu Wenshiji thought about it and felt that Zhang Chao was very clear.

Even if they were willing to confess, the emperor would make a clear choice. Even if the prince was wrong, the emperor would not really treat the prince. However, Zhang Chao, if the matter was so embarrassing, there would definitely be no good result.

Now I will kill the person and feed the dog directly, and I will not mention it. This is the best way to deal with it.

In fact, Zhang Chao believed that the emperor must have known the matter between the Eastern Palace and him, but while the emperor kept him in Taozhou, he also added him the position of Prince Guest, which was quite interesting.

It seems that the emperor not only respects Zhang Chao's talent, but also wants him to be loyal to the prince.

This is not only a support for the prince, but also a protection for Zhang Chao.

But the emperor certainly didn't know that Li Jiancheng, as the prince, actually sent someone to assassinate him.

There were four guests of the prince, which was considered to be the imitation of the Four Old Ones of Shangshan during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han.

The court awarded four new crown prince guests. Except for Zhang Chao, the governor of Taozhou, the other three were Shangshu.

It is estimated that this is the emperor's firm attitude of supporting the prince after he last revealed that he wanted to change the prince.

However, Zhang Chao felt that the prince's guest was really a bit frustrating.

Li Shimin sent people to kill him several times, but he became a guest of the prince, who was equivalent to the prince's teacher.

He is in charge of the attendant's rules and advice and praises the etiquette of the emperor. Will the prince listen to his words?

Fortunately, the prince's guest serves as his official position, so Zhang Chao, a foreign official, doesn't have to go to the East Palace to see the prince, otherwise Zhang Chao would be really worried that he would be killed directly by him when he appeared in front of Li Jiancheng of the East Palace.

"Duke Ying, what is the court's attitude towards Tuyuhun?" Zhang Chao asked.

Since he had been appointed as a recruit, Zhang Chao wanted to know the bottom line of the court.

"I hate and helpless towards the Tuyuhun court. All the court officials advised Your Majesty to keep a low profile, endure humiliation and bear the burden, and rest. After a few years, I will make efforts to destroy Liang Shidu and Yuan Junzhang first, take back Su Fang and Daibei, and then plan to deal with Turks and Tuyuhun. Therefore, the court still has to discuss peace with Tuyuhun now, and Tang Jian has sent the princess to Qinghai."

"Who is the princess?"

"The prince of Huai'an gave birth to a daughter, and His Majesty added the title of Princess, and married Tuyuhun."

However, even if he is a concubine of the royal family, as long as he is given a title of princess, he will be a princess of the Tang Dynasty. This is very humiliating.

Li Yuan and the ministers were both angry. Last time Zhang Chao destroyed the invading Hei Yeli tribe, Li Yuan was extremely happy. But the court could not start a war with Tuyuhun now, and even publicly let Zhang Chao go to war.

However, the appointment of Zhang Chao as a recruit is actually to tell Zhang Chao that the court would now discuss a peace cession with Tuyuhun, but if Tuyuhun breached the contract first, then Zhang Chao, the recruitment of Zhang Chao, can directly counterattack without the court.

As for why Tuyuhun breached the contract, etc., these details will be grasped by Zhang Chao.

Anyway, when fighting, at most, it will be a conflict between the Tang Dynasty border generals and the Tuyuhun tribe.

The court's appeasement and strategy envoy to Zhang Chao was mainly for the foreign troops in the territory, but the recruitment envoy was clearly aimed at the Tuyuhun people.

According to Yu Wenshi and his explanation to Zhang Chao, his authority to recruit envoys was quite large, even more than all his other official positions.

As a recruiting envoy, Zhang Chao organized and participated in the war against foreign people such as Tuyuhun or Tubo, organized the army, recruited the army, reviewed the inspection, strictly rewarded and punished the soldiers, maintained order of the military training team, dispatched and managed food, grass, weapons, war horses and other military supplies, inspected the inspection, built cities, post stations, organized defense, arranged strategies, quelled mutinies, rebellions, civil unrest, organized and participated in the battle against foreign tribes outside the border, etc.

He has the power to appease Tuyuhun, Tubo, Qiang, Di, Liao, Man, etc., and also has the power to command the army internally and manage and requisition food, grass, weapons, and materials.

Even Zhang Chao was able to recruit and recommend officials, and he could inspect and reward and punish officials under his jurisdiction.

In addition, local disaster relief, farmland reclaim, enroll exile, and build water conservancy.

Diplomacy, military, civil affairs, finance, taxation, personnel, and all important powers can be used to make a move and even dominate.

Basically, with such a call, Zhang Chao was no longer at all in Taozhou.

Zhang Chao holds the five most important powers, including diplomacy, military and political affairs, finance and taxation, personnel and supervision.

As long as he finds a legitimate reason, he can directly mobilize nearly 10,000 troops from Taozhou to break out of the border and attack Tuyuhun without going through the court.

He could also form alliances with Tubo, Liao, Man and others at any time without going through the court, or go to war or negotiate peace with Tuyuhun.

Recruiting government troops, levying civilians, urging land and water conservancy, collecting tariffs, and upgrading officials are all within his power. Although this power is not without restrictions, Zhang Chao only has the right to deal with it cheaply, and he has to report it first and then report it. After all, he has to submit it to the court after the handling, and his handling decision must also be reviewed by the court.

If it is inappropriate, it will be rejected or even denounced.

But even so, such power is already the ultimate of local officials.

Why did the court give Zhang Chao such power?

Zhang Chao could see at a glance that Li Yuan was very angry with Tuyuhun. He hoped that Zhang Chao could hit Tuyuhun again. But in order to avoid the situation from getting out of control and becoming a full-scale war, the central government of the court did not come forward, but just asked Zhang Chao to come forward. In this way, it was only a border conflict, and the court could intervene in controlling the situation at any time, with room for buffering.

"I see!"

Zhang Chao replied with a smile.

"Is the King of Qin okay?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Not very good." Yu Wenshiji shook his head. As Sima of Tiance Mansion, his position was above Fang Du, and he was also Li Shimin's confidant.

"The emperor had said he wanted to change the crown prince before, but the prime ministers all opposed it, and Your Majesty no longer mentioned this matter. The King of Qin was very disappointed. This was the fourth time that Your Majesty said he wanted to make the King of Qin the crown prince but he died without any trouble."

Zhang Chao shook his head when he heard this.

In Taozhou in August, the weather has turned colder.

The horses are fat in autumn, and the cattle and sheep in this season are the fattest time. There is a lively scene everywhere. New immigrants in Taozhou are striving to reclaim land and prepare for the seeds of winter wheat.

Everything went smoothly here, but Li Shimin was getting more and more difficult in Chang'an.

"The King of Qin asked me to ask you, how to do extraordinary things?"

The easiest way is of course to find an opportunity to kill the prince directly, but if you kill the prince, Li Yuan may not necessarily establish Shimin. After all, killing Jiancheng, this fierce method also seriously threatens Li Yuan.

Li Yuan has just been the emperor for four years and is still so young. If he kills Li Shimin, even if he doesn't kill him, he will be ruined if he only gets a prison for life.

Therefore, the focus is not on how to kill Jiancheng, but on taking down the prince and the emperor.

The best result is to find a suitable time to launch a palace transformation, take down the prince and the emperor, and then take the emperor to command the court, control the center, and control Chang'an.

Quickly let your own people take over the Chang'an army.

This is the best way out for the control center without bloodshed, and the emperor issued an edict to abolish and build Shimin.

Directly pulling the flag and rebelling is the worst choice.

"Your Highness wants to seek to go out to Luoyang, and then use Luoyang as the foundation to gather old subordinates to raise flags and raise troops."

"No, this is the worst choice. It must not be done unless it is absolutely necessary." Zhang Chao sighed.

Although Li Shimin was very powerful in leading troops to fight, how many people would support this kind of rebellion that clearly showed off the chariot and horses? The emperor issued an order in Chang'an. Will the soldiers and horses in various places definitely be responsible for the king to seek rebellion?

In this way, Li Shimin had to be enemies with people all over the world.

Only palace changes are the easiest and most effective method.

By controlling Li Yuan, he controlled the court and Chang'an.

Instead of running to Luoyang to rebel, it is better to go directly to the palace.

"Tell the King of Qin that if you really can't find a chance to control the prince and His Majesty, then choose an opportunity to directly control His Majesty."

"But the prince?"

"Don't worry, if you control Your Majesty, the matter will be 70%. Even if the prince runs away, how big can he cause?"

Before Yu Wenshi came, Li Shimin secretly talked with him for a long time and asked him to ask Zhang Chao for advice on him. But he didn't expect that Zhang Chao's plan would be like this... and he took the risk!
