Chapter 119 I Want This Eunuch
Li Tianqu recalled again and finally remembered the title of the main master, but the original Pinglu Jiedushi An Shiru.
However, this guy was mediocre and incompetent, and compared with the vassal commander who was tough, either used all means or gained power by his military achievements, he could be said to be a useless person. During the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedushi Pinglu was the chief official who was in charge of the border guards in eastern Hebei and southern Liaoning in later generations, and was also a powerful vassal commander.
However, An Shiru was overthrown and expelled by his subordinate Wang Jingwu. Even though he later transferred to the position of Yicheng Army Jiedu, he was lazy in governance. Later, according to the Zizhi Tongjian, "Yicheng Jiedu An Shiru commissioned political affairs to the two capitals of Xiahou Yan and Du Biao. The two were arrogant and angry in the army. Zhang Xiao, the small school, came out and gathered two thousand people to attack the city of the state. The army, Ru, killed Yan, and Biao, ordered him to rest in the army."
He was so timid that he led two thousand soldiers to launch a mutiny, and he was so shocked that he could only kill his delegated power generals. An Shiru's ability to control his subordinates can be imagined...
In the chaotic times of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the military prefectures was nice and asked to take it if there were capable people. If it weren't nice, I would just rob you directly. This is the rule of this era. Later, An Shiru was still expelled by his Ya Army and ran to Zhu Wen of Xuanwu Army to cry and wipe away tears.
How can you not take such a huge advantage? Zhu Wen sent General Zhu Zhen to attack. Although Yicheng rebels learned about the war, they saw heavy snow falling from the sky and thought that the enemy would not come to attack the city on heavy snow. The soldiers guarding the city were leisurely doing what they should do...
However, Zhu Zhen and other such fierce men rushed to attack overnight. Brave snow and ordered soldiers to set up a ladder to climb the city wall. They did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and Yicheng's army was surrendered. In this way, Zhu Wen annexed the Yicheng army's vassal states, and as for the historical records of An Shiru, he was cut off. If his fate was good, he would at least save his life and continue to live a mediocre life, but he would just live a life of surviving life.
After thinking about this, Li Tianqu completely understood that An Shiru was expelled by his subordinates as a military governor, and he was definitely not a hero who was respectful. Compared to Zhu Wen, Li Keyong's military governors, he was a soft persimmon. If there was no better choice, the court saw that An Shiru was honest and obedient, so he could take over the Yicheng army vassal state. But now that there are more Li Tianqu who has eliminated Huang Chao for the court... It's because of your cowardly deeds that An Shiru was expelled by his subordinates, so stay wherever you are.
Li Tianqu had no background and was not inclined to any faction in the court. However, since he could take Huang Chao's head, he must have been determined to make achievements through fighting and fighting... The Yicheng Army's vassal state has a small territory and is easier to be controlled. He continued to maintain strategic alliances with the Xuanwu Army, Chenzhou Zhao Yuan and other vassal state officials, so that he could also form a strategic defense line to protect the road to Guanzhong in Henan Road...
After all, although Huang Chao died, Qin Zongquan of Caizhou was still there.
In this way, it was natural for Li Tianquxin to say that he was named the governor of Yicheng Army. Tang Ting did not consider where you started and developed, but only made the case to maintain the rule as much as possible... But after all, the location of my base was finalized, and the next step was to carefully consider where to develop and expand...
However, when Li Tianqu was still thinking about giving, at least before he went to the Yicheng Army to take office, Zhao Hun, the governor of Chenzhou, shouted long live, respectfully received the imperial edict as if he had obtained a treasure, and was very cautious. In addition, Zhao Chang and Zhao Hun were also cautious in accepting the imperial etiquette. On the other hand, Li Tianqu was still thinking in a daze, and he was even more and more aware of it. He was afraid that those who had to follow the rules would see it, and immediately scolded him for being ignorant of his decent knowledge and dared to be so disrespectful to receive the imperial edict.
However, the eunuch passed the imperial edict to Zhao Hu. Seeing that Li Tianqu was indifferent, he walked over and coughed softly again, and reminded him with kind words: "Li Dumao, it's time to thank him..."
Li Tianqu immediately came to his senses and shouted: "I have not given Li Tianqu an order to thank you!"
The eunuch who announced the imperial eunuch smiled slightly, and seemed to be dissatisfied. Li Tianqu stood up and had a better impression of him. He thought he didn't know if there was any common example of receiving the imperial eunuch who received the imperial eunuch in this season. At least, when the matters of the eunuch who received the imperial eunuch and even the entourage were arranged by the governor of Chenzhou, Zhao Quan, who had previously resisted the Huang Chao army for a long time, had a long war. In special seasons, the food was hard currency. It was good that Li Tianqu's general's salary could be redeemed as some food and fodder. Of course, there was no money to be paid for. We couldn't invite the eunuch who was used to seeing the emperor's wealthy food and food to eat big cakes, right?
Since the other party intends to take care of him and say a few compliments, Li Tianqu then said to him: "I am really flattered by the emperor's generous reward and title. My father-in-law has worked hard all the way through mountains and rivers. I am very grateful. If you have any needs when you go to the inn to rest, I hope to give me instructions to express my respect."
The eunuch Xuandi shook his hand when he heard this and said, "Li Du General... Haha, now you should call you Li Jieshuai. Jieshuai killed the thieves in the nest to eliminate a great harm to the country, and the rewards from the country are also your duty. In terms of heart, our Zhang Juhan was sent to the provincial government to convey the imperial edict, and it is also his duty, and he will not make contributions to the battlefield with the generals and soldiers, and will spare no effort to make life for the people of Jingtu.
Our family admires Jieshuai's feat and is deeply inspiring. But now in the chaotic season, the people in various places are displaced due to bandits, wars, disasters, disasters, and displaced. I hope Jieshuai will be compassionate to the people after taking office, and will fight against the unjust traitors for the country. I don't need to be so polite to our family..."
After hearing this, Li Tianqu smiled on his face. The father-in-law announced his edict was the Zhang Juhan who was praised in later commentaries, "Isn't it a benevolent person to change one word to the edict and save thousands of people from dying indiscriminately?"
Soon, Zhao Feng, Zhao Chang and Zhao Feng also welcomed the general and arranged for the eunuch Zhang Juhan to go for food first, and then arranged for the post station to be sent by the court to rest. During this period, Li Tianqu came to me and thought:
Although Zhang Juhan was highly appreciated after Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, his younger brother Emperor Zhaozong ascended the throne. He was granted the title of the Academy of Scholars, was appointed as the official eunuch, and was promoted to the Privy Council, the Imperial Eunuch, and the Imperial Order, he has now been valued by the Emperor of Tang. In this way, he was able to come to read out the eunuchs who were appointed by the Jiedushi to read out such important matters. Now he is almost the responsibility.
Although there were still powerful officials such as Tian Lingzi who were favored by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and interfered in politics and harmed the country and the people, they could not kill a ship of people in one go. Although there were not many representatives among the eunuchs who acted fairly and virtuously, and even had the ability to manage the army and stabilize the people, Zhang Juhan was one of them.
Then, according to his original course, Zhang Juhan should have been sent by the Tang court to the Lulong vassal town of Youzhou as the military supervisor and supervisor of the military supervisor. However, later, Zhu Wen gradually took control of the government affairs. In order to eliminate the trustees around the Emperor of the Tang court, he began to massacre eunuchs, and then issued an order to instruct the military governors of each town to kill the local military supervisor and eunuchs appointed by the court...
Zhang Juhan, who was the Youzhou Army Supervisor at the time, and Zhang Chengye, the Hedong Army Supervisor who was determined to be unable to obey Zhu Wen's instructions, were the few eunuchs who survived the disaster. Because Zhang Juhan was smart and capable, he was later valued by Li Keyong and brought him under his command. Zhang Chengye, the former eunuch who was also a former eunuch who survived the disaster, was also called the good ministers and wise officials of the Hedong Jin State.
Thinking of this, Li Tianqu kept thinking secretly: Yes... According to the current laws, when the Tang court appointed governors from various places, they still had to send eunuchs to supervise the vassal states. Of course, the so-called eunuchs in the army had no real power. They either allowed the local military governors to gain their own military status, or directly managed civil affairs according to the appointment arrangements of the vassal states, and even planned the military. In essence, they had become ministers of the local military states.
