Qianliang Dynasty) During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a country in the Hexi Corridor called Qianliang. There was a little emperor in Qianliang named Zhang Xuanliang. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, and when he ascended the throne, Qianliang was already at the end of his life.
Time is merciless, the dynasty is declining, and the emperor's situation is not satisfactory. The young emperor, the court is suspicious, and the likes of powerful ministers will inevitably appear. Qianliang also has the power to minister, is a clan minister, Zhang Yong is his name.
According to the records of "Zizhi Tongjian", Zhang Yong was arrogant and indulgent, monopolized power, and killed countless people, causing dissatisfaction among the people. Zhang Yong has an arrogant personality, regards his colleagues and the people as nothing, once someone angers him, he will be directly sentenced to prison, killed first and then investigated, to ensure that no one can be wronged.
People are deeply disgusted by such authoritarianism, and the most disgusted one is Zhang Tianxi, the uncle of the little emperor. The strength of the ministers means the weakening of the imperial power, and the weakening of the imperial power means the loss of the dignity of the emperor and the imperial family in the court.
At this time, there was an atmosphere of tension and unease in the Qianliang Dynasty, and everyone was eagerly looking for a way out.
Zhang Yong image) Those who sound the world will experience a long silence; He who ignites the lightning will endure the loneliness of wandering. In order to regain his dignity and power, Zhang Tianxi began to plot and plot to get rid of Zhang Yong.
However, Zhang Yong is not an idle person, he was born a ruffian, has sufficient troops, and is like a fierce general, which is not easy to overthrow. In the face of a strong opponent, it is undoubtedly difficult to confront it head-on, but Zhang Tianxi really can't live the days of being bullied by Zhang Yong.
So, he found two good brothers, Liu Xiao and Zhao Baiju, and plotted late at night, intending to assassinate Zhang Yong. A thrilling plan quickly took shape and was executed the next morning.
Guzang, the capital of Qianliang, located in today's Wuwei, Gansu Province, has the royal capital of the Changhewai District, the quicksand of the Zuoji, the Yuguan Hanging Danger and the Jincheng Negative Solid, even under the wind and sand, exudes majesty.
The bell rang in the morning, and the proud Zhang Yong walked from the Yongdao to the main hall.
Zizhi Tongjian records that Zhang Yong was assassinated twice in the early dynasty, but he reacted quickly and successfully escaped. Zhang Yong immediately organized a heavy army to surround the palace and played the slogan of killing Zhang Tianxi.
Liu Xiao and Zhao Baiju are Zhang Tianxi's horses and conspire to assassinate Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong surrounded them, leaving them isolated and almost unable to escape. However, Zhang Yong knows his goal and will not die easily.
At this critical moment, Zhang Tianxi showed an amazing desire to survive, he quickly climbed to the highest place in the palace, and shouted: "Zhang Yong is vicious and unreasonable, and wants to subvert my royal family."
You are the soldiers of Qianliang, how can you face each other with your blades? Zhang Yong is a traitor, brutal and unkind. I am the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and I have the blood of the Son of Heaven in my veins. Now, Zhang Yong wants to subvert the rule of the Son of Heaven, you have served Qianliang for generations, do you want to help the abuse now? ”
His words were like a giant hammer, which deeply touched the hearts of the soldiers, and they threw away their **, let down their vigilance, and went home. The situation reversed abruptly, and the soldiers defected and surrendered to Zhang Tianxi.
Zhang Yong was originally in power, but now he has rebelled and become a lonely king. He had no choice but to close the door and end himself up at home. Zhang Tianxi didn't expect his speech to be so shocking, he was originally just to save his life, but he accidentally knocked down Zhang Yong.
After the fall of Zhang Yong, Zhang Tianxi took power and became the new minister of Qianliang. However, the one who had the courage to slay the dragon back then, once he grasped the power, he would change immediately.
Although he got rid of Zhang Yong, who was hungry for power, Zhang Tianxi quickly became arbitrary and became the new minister in the position of the number one minister.
Zhang Tianxi has reached the pinnacle of his courtiers, if he still wants to go up, is it necessary to get rid of himself and replace him, and become the king of the former Liang? The little emperor Zhang Xuanliang took the initiative to give way to Zhang Tianxi, just asking Zhang Tianxi to protect his personal safety and let him have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
However, Zhang Tianxi did not leave Zhang Xuanliang this way out. He has more power than the previous ministers, and he is also more ruthless than the previous ministers. He rejected Zhang Xuanliang's request to abdicate and make way for Xian, but sent his horse boy Liu Xiao to break into the palace late one night and kill Zhang Xuanliang.
Zhang Xuanliang, the former Liang mourning duke, died violently, and Zhang Tianxi inherited the throne. However, Qianliang's national strength is not as good as before, the people's livelihood is tired, and social contradictions are acute. Former Qin took the opportunity to develop and grow, and used troops against Qianliang.
Fu Jian, the ancestor of the former Qin dynasty, had ambitions to dominate the world. In his eyes, Zhang Tianxi is just a weakling. When Fu Jian's army approached the city, Zhang Tianxi was defeated and surrendered.
Zhang Tianxi handed over the foundation laid by Zhang Xuanliang, the former Liang mourning father, for his children and grandchildren in a light manner.
Zhang Tianxi was a returnee of Qianliang, and was later incorporated into the combat army of Chang'an and became a general under Fu Jian. However, in the famous Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian's light enemy was defeated and defeated, at this time Zhang Tianxi saw an opportunity and returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The author believes that Fu Jian's eagerness led him to stop his quest before reaching the top. Everyone has their own path to follow, there is no such thing as the right path and the only way.
Although Zhang Tianxi later mixed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and served as a lieutenant and assassin, his status was not high.
In the dead of night, he couldn't sleep in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the warm night breeze in the south of the Yangtze River could not calm his homesickness. In his dreams, the old scene of the former Liang Wangdu often appears, which is timeless and fresh, as if he has never left.
This year, Zhang Tianxi died of illness in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the age of 61. The former Liang regime has always respected the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the kings of the early Liang Dynasty were full of admiration and nostalgia for the Eastern Jin Dynasty emperor.
Some people leave their hometown to return to their hometown, and some people miss their hometown because they can never go back. It's a pity that he failed to protect the foundation of his ancestors, and all his unwillingness and regret can only turn into the bitter cold outside Liangzhou City, drifting away with the wind.
