Valley Emperor

The violent explosion of the armory made the chaos of this night a new climax!

​​

The agents of the Military Intelligence Department and Hantong have fanned the flames everywhere, creating all kinds of chaos, and many people in the city don't dare to be lonely. The various green-skinned hooligans in the city saw the chaos in the city, and they all gave birth to the mentality of fishing in troubled waters, thieves and petty thieves. Touching is all good, and what's more, they burn, kill and loot in groups.

​​

The garrison in the city, in the face of such a chaotic situation, tried to suppress it at first, but soon became overwhelmed, because at this time, the Tang army outside the city began to fire at this time.

​​

Numerous artillery pieces were lined up outside the city, and more than 20 howitzers and more than 80 field artillery opened fire one after another. fall into the city.

​​

The Tang army outside the city was carrying out a large-scale intensive shelling at this time. The more than 20,000 Ming soldiers defending the city were naturally frightened. There was still the mind to manage the chaos in the city.

​​

Intensive shelling will bring intensive casualties, and more importantly, although the Datang Army has never conducted a large-scale siege at night, no one can guarantee that the Datang Army really does not. Will launch a night attack!

​​

Although it is said that the night is enough to bring a major advantage to the Ming army defending the city, it is not impossible for people to launch an attack directly with torches and use countless torches to turn the night into day.

​​

So now the Ming army in the city is very cautious, for fear of a negligence, the Tang army will directly attack the city.

​​

In particular, the generals in charge of commanding the 20,000-odd Ming army all received handwritten letters from the cabinet bosses, asking them to stabilize the situation!

​​

As for Emperor Shaowu, he didn't send anyone to pass on the imperial edict, because at this time there was a big chaos in the city, and the entire Forbidden City had been completely blocked to prevent the riots from spreading to the Forbidden City. In addition, the cabinet bosses who really supported the overall situation in the city were obviously I also don't want Emperor Shaowu to come out to make trouble at this critical moment.

​​

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the benevolent ruler of the ministers, Emperor Shaowu needs to stay in the Forbidden City and wait for the final decision.

​​

These ministers were bullied badly by Emperor Zhengde before. It was not easy for Emperor Zhengde to die and ushered in the era of civil ministers in power. Although it is only a mere ten days, it is even possible that the city will be broken tomorrow. , leading to the downfall of the Ming Dynasty, but tonight, they are still unwilling to give up the power in their hands.

​​

This kind of feeling that the emperor is locked in the palace and the whole world and the fate of the entire dynasty are in their hands is really good, so good that they clearly know that they can't last for too long, maybe tomorrow they will be mastered by the king of the Tang Dynasty. It was broken, but they were still unwilling to give up!

​​

The more than 20,000 Ming troops were now completely under the control of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty. Those generals were all their lackeys, and the honorable people who had maintained a certain amount of power in the Zhengde era were all It was taken away by Emperor Zhengde, and then died in the Battle of Anping, and now the city of Youzhou is the world of their civil servants!

​​

The Ming army under the control of the civil servants knew that they would not be able to hold on to it, but they were told to stabilize, so they could only continue to hold on to the city head-on!

​​

These ideas of the civil servants are also easy to understand. At present, the cabinet has not reached an agreement on whether to surrender or stick to it. Even among the capitulation factions, there are many arguments. Among them, the capitulators want to surrender, but they want to have conditions. Surrender is not an unconditional surrender.

​​

They are important officials of the Ming Dynasty. They hope that their surrender is not surrender, but surrender!

​​

Although there is only one word difference between these two words, the difference is huge!

​​

They also thought about becoming officials in the Tang Dynasty after they surrendered. Even if they couldn't continue to be ministers and ministers in the Tang Dynasty, they shouldn't be too bad!

​​

Of course, not everyone thinks that way!

​​

Second Fu of the Ming Dynasty, after the emperor Wan Chensong sent away the man in black who sneaked into the mansion, he stayed in the study. stranger!

​​

This stranger is none other than Zhang Pingyang, the seventh-rank editor of the secretariat of the Imperial Academy who entered the city to preside over the intelligence work tonight!

​​

When Wan Chensong first saw Zhang Pingyang, his brows could not help but wrinkle slightly. He really couldn't believe it. For such an important matter, Tang Jun only sent such a young man in his early twenties. Only the Hanlin of the seventh grade.

​​

The age of this person is not even his own eldest grandson, and in the official circle, it can be called as a freshman.

​​

He has long heard that the generals and officials of the pseudo-Tang side are very old. It is said that several famous generals in the Tang army, such as Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing, Fang Xitong, and Wang Chaohong, except Wang Chaohong, who is in his thirties, The remaining three were all in their early twenties.

​​

Among the civil officials, except for a few important officials such as Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu, who are relatively old, most of the others are relatively old. Only about thirty or forty years old.

​​

According to Wan Chensong's estimation, the people who come to talk to him in depth should be mature and stable people who can do it well. They should be over thirty years old. In terms of grade, even if they are not a minister or a servant, At least it should be an official above the fourth rank!

​​

You must know that you are the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, with a detached status. Even for the sake of superficial respect, it is impossible to send such a low-level young official here.

​​

Zhang Pingyang saw Wan Chensong's frown, but he didn't care!

​​

Today, he did not come on behalf of himself, but on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, on behalf of the sage of the ancients, so he has enough confidence to stand in front of Wan Chensong, and then pretend to be the winner!

​​

However, these two people are both people in the officialdom, and they are very talented, so they may have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, but they can control too many of them very well.

​​

Therefore, after a simple greeting between the two, Wan Chensong was the first to speak: "Is Zhang Xiaoyou working as an editor in your Hanlin Academy? If Wan remembers it well, your editor should be the main document. Work, why did you come to the dangerous Youzhou?"

​​

Zhang Pingyang smiled slightly at this time: "Editing is just a false title in our Datang Hanlin Academy, and it has nothing to do with actual work. Zhang is working in the secretariat of my Datang Hanlin Academy. Second Secretary."

​​

"Secretariat? Second-class secretary? No wonder I came to Youzhou. I just ignored it for a while, but I didn't see it. Since Zhang Xiaoyou is the second-class secretary, I am afraid that he is often accompanied by the emperor of your country. Today, it can be done. Lord?"

​​

After Wan Chensong heard Zhang Pingyang say that he was the second secretary of the secretariat, he immediately changed his attitude and felt relieved!

​​

The Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies. They had fought each other for several years. The Ming Dynasty also collected various information about the Tang Dynasty in detail, and if some public information was available, they could basically get it.

​​

The official system is naturally open to the public, so most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty have a little understanding of the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and if they have the heart, they can even understand it in great detail.

​​

Wan Chensong knew that the official system in the Tang Dynasty was different. The Hanlin Academy on their side was far more special than the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty. The Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty was mainly used as a place of support. Boil it step by step, until the day it begins.

​​

But once you get ahead, you will be an important court official!

​​

Because once they get out of it, they are often able to directly serve as servants, ministers, and even more, they can go straight to the sky and become cabinet ministers directly.

​​

However, the Hanlin Academy of Datang existed as Li Xuan's private office. The Hanlin Academy was quite large, with a total of more than 20 departments. Although some of the Hanlins were selected from the winners of the imperial examinations, But in fact, more are drawn from various places.

​​

At the same time, the powers of the Datang Hanlin Academy are also very heavy. Basically, as long as Li Xuan is willing, they can even bypass the imperial study, the cabinet, and the Privy Council to directly pass orders to local officials and generals~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the twenty-nine of the Hanlin Academy Among several departments, the secretariat is the most special and most important!

​​

Anyone who can serve in the secretariat, even the lowest third-class secretary, is a potential rookie in the officialdom. As long as they don't make mistakes, their future prospects are limitless.

​​

Since the Zhang Pingyang in front of him is the second secretary of their Hanlin Academy secretariat, although his rank is a bit low, it is still possible that he was dispatched to Youzhou City.

​​

After all, there is always a huge difference between the emperor's close ministers and ordinary ministers, and Zhang Pingyang belongs to this category of the emperor's close ministers. It is not certain that this person can come up with a secret edict at any time.

​​

After confirming that Zhang Pingyang could make it, Wan Chensong also revealed his real problem!

​​

"Just now, Wan and your people have also talked about it. You want Wan to lead hundreds of officials to surrender, but do you know Wan's concerns?"

​​

Zhang Pingyang said, "You're worried that tomorrow, Master Wang won't be able to break into the city? You're worried that there will be an accident in the chaos, you're worried that we will default on our debts and not acknowledge your credit!"

​​

Although his words were straightforward and his tone was a little rude, Wan Chensong did not show any dissatisfaction, he just nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Pingyang: "Then what do you think!"

​​

Zhang Pingyang said: "It's not that Zhang is boasting, but your worries, Senior Wan, are all non-existent!") Book friends, please pay attention!
