Zhang Chengye was a eunuch in the Tang Dynasty and was sent to Hedong Jiedu to make Li Keyong serve as a supervisor there. In the third year of the Tang Dynasty (903), Zhu Wen entered Chang'an, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, together with the prime minister Cui Yin, to kill the eunuchs, and with the emperor's order, asked the feudal towns to kill the eunuchs of the prison army. The order arrived in Hedong, and Li Keyong hid Zhang Chengye in Hulu Temple, killed a death row prisoner, and saved Lao Zhang's life. Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor and established the Liang Dynasty. Lao Zhang is wholeheartedly determined to restore Datang, and he is like-minded with Li Keyong, so he is naturally his hardcore confidant. In 908, before Li Keyong died, he entrusted his heir Li Cunqiao to the ministers: "My son, with lofty ambitions, will definitely be able to complete my will!" Assist him! "Trustees: Li Kening (Li Keyong's younger brother), Li Cunzhang (Li Keyong's righteous son), Zhang Chengye, general Wu Heng, and strategist Lu Zhen. Li Cunqiao couldn't cry. Lao Zhang said: "Now is not the time to cry!" "Put Li Cunqiao on the top. Li Kening and some of the generals were not convinced, and prepared to mutiny, kill Zhang Chengye and others, seize Li Cunqing, and surrender to Zhu Wen as a vote. The news leaked, and Mrs. Cao and Li Cunmiao brought Zhang Chenglai to find her. Hearing Li Kening's conspiracy, Chengye was shocked: "I don't dare to live up to the first king!" "Jointly with Li Cunzhang, Wang Heng and other generals, took the palace banquet to invite the generals, and won Li Kening and his henchmen in one fell swoop. The internal struggle for power was eliminated and Li Cunqiao's position was consolidated. Li Cunmiao really did it, lived up to his father's expectations, and became more and more brave the more he fought. North - Destroy Liu Shouguang in Youzhou, and then repel the Khitan Yelu Abaoji in the sky; South - Defeated the Liang army, the greatest enemy, many times. Li Cunqiao went east to the west to fight, and Lao Zhang stayed in Taiyuan, the old nest, to strictly enforce military and political discipline and restrain the magnates of all parties; Summoning the displaced people to develop production, conscripting troops and horses, storing grain and grass, and becoming the minister of logistics, he was the rear of the Jin army's long-term campaign. Li Cunqiao called Zhang Chenglai the seventh brother, and he was particularly respectful. It is Xun Yu to Cao Cao. Lao Zhang has the courage and insight, and dares to persuade Li Cunqiao at the critical moment to pull him back from the road of making mistakes. In 910, the Jin and Liang armies fought a decisive battle in Baixiang. Li Cunqiao is full of vigor and wants to fight quickly. The general Zhou Dewei advised him to retreat to the plains first and wait for the opportunity, and not to rush forward: because the Jin army had many cavalry, it was advantageous to fight in the plains. Li Cunmiao had a stinky face, and fell asleep when he entered the tent. Everyone is afraid. Lao Zhang broke into Li Cunqiao's tent, stroked his back, and patiently persuaded: "You still have to listen to the words of General Zhou Dewei!" Li Cunmiao slowly turned around, and the intelligence reflected that it was consistent with Zhou Dewei's estimate, and he decided to withdraw successively and look for fighters. Finally, he lured the Liang army to the plains to start a battle, and defeated the strong enemy in one fell swoop. Lao Zhang threaded the needle and led the thread, and his contribution was indispensable. Li Cunmiao won the battle a lot, so he drifted a little, and indirectly asked Zhang Chengye, who controlled the treasury, for money to spend.

But Lao Zhang does things in a decent manner, and he doesn't give what he shouldn't give. Li Cunmiao was not happy, so he set up a bureau - specially invited Lao Zhang to dinner in the treasury. Li Cunmiao is a sand camel man, although he is sinicized, he can sing and dance and his true colors remain unchanged. The wine was hot, so let his son Li Jiqi get up and dance, and wish Zhang Lao a long and healthy life. Lao Zhang saw through it at a glance, pretended to be stupid, got up, untied the jade belt on his body, and asked someone to bring his horse and give it to Xiao Li as a thank you. Li Cunmiao reminded: "Seventh brother, the child has no money to spend, so you can reward him with that pile of money!" A horse is not a valuable thing! The old man made a face: "The child dances for me, and I reward him with my salary." That pile of money is public money, and I don't dare to touch it. Li Cunmiao's face was even more ugly, but Lao Zhang still resisted: "I have no children and grandchildren, what's the use of keeping the money?" It's all for the king's inheritance! I'm afraid that in the future, the money will be spent and people's hearts will be scattered, which is really the end! Li Cunmiao was furious and asked the guards to bring swords, and they were going to cut Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang fought to the death: Cheng Ye started, held Zhuang Zong's clothes and cried, saying: "The minister was ordered by the former king Gu Tuo, and swore to the snow family and country." Today, he died for the king's treasures, and his death is worthy of the king's ancestors! ”

Mrs. Cao got the news and sent someone. Li Cunmiao gave up and apologized.

Lao Zhang's skills are very comprehensive. A few small things: 1. Lay down Youzhou and incorporate Feng Dao, a scholar. The famous Zhou Banxian and Feng Dao disagreed, and said to Lao Zhang: "Xiao Feng is a hard-working person and cannot be reused." Minister Lu Zhen also said to Lao Zhang: "I have seen the painting of Du Huangshang, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very similar to Xiao Feng!" Lao Zhang had his own opinions, and especially reused Feng Dao, who later served as the prime minister of Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou. 2, this Lu Qian, who has great ability and temper, looks down on Li Cunqiao's brothers: a bunch of stupid hats! Li Cunmiao was very unhappy, and Lao Zhang deliberately said to him: "Lu Zhen is a nasty ghost, it's better to kill him early!" Li Cunqiao said: "Seventh brother, what are you talking about, I want to create a great cause, and I always have to be a corporal of Lixian!" Lao Zhang saluted: "If the king can do this, the hegemony will definitely be successful." Later, Lu Zhen contradicted Li Cunmiao several times, but because of this foreshadowing, he had no worries about his life. 3, Lao Zhang is the tightest to his relatives, and he obeys the Zhang family. Lead by example, and by the way, be honest in managing Li Cunmiao and the families of the generals, so as to give the old Li and Li who are fighting in the front a safe rear. In the nineteenth year of Tang Tianyou (921), Li Cunqiao captured Hebei and occupied Weizhou, the seat of governance, and his power became stronger and stronger.

In 921, the situation Tu Shu, Wu and other separatist forces and the generals of the Jin army all persuaded Li Cunqiao to become emperor.

Li Cunmiao agreed in his heart and sent people to various places to find the honor seal left by the Tang Emperor.

The monk of Weizhou faxed a jade seal, saying that it was obtained when Huang Chao broke through Chang'an, and it has been collected for forty years.

Experts see that it is a jade seal of the country!

The generals congratulated one after another.

Only Lao Zhang, who stayed in the Jinyang base camp, got the news and immediately rushed to Weizhou to advise Li Cunxuan:

.Seek Tang and stand up. So that the descendants of Tang are here, who dares to deserve it? So that Tang has no descendants, who can compete with the king of the world? The implication is that Li Cunxuan Taoguang is obscure, learn from Li Yuan's wisdom, first establish "descendants of Tang", wait for the world to be decided, and then have a "no descendants of Tang", and be the founder of a unified country, instead of being the emperor and a hegemon now. In fact, Lao Zhang's advice to Li Cunqiao was also selfish, and he also said:

The minister, an old slave of the Tang family, sincerely wants to see the success of the king, and then retreats to the field, so that the hundred officials are sent out of the Luodong Gate, and the passers-by point and sigh 'This is the envoy of this dynasty, and the first king supervised the army', isn't it glorious for the ministers? ”

Datang loyalty is his goal.

Lao Zhang also did it with practical actions. He has never been knighted by the Jin King Li Keyong and Li Cunmiao's father and son. claimed to be the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the supervisor of the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu. Li Cunmiao didn't listen and made excuses: "These generals can do whatever they want." Lao Zhang cried: "You are deceiving the old slave me!" Lao Zhang returned to Jinyang, did not eat or drink, and died at the age of 77. Li Cunqiao and his biological mother, Mrs. Cao, took filial piety to Zhang's mansion to offer condolences. In 923, Li Cunqiao was proclaimed emperor, the country name was still Tang, and the history was called the Later Tang Dynasty, and Lao Zhang was posthumously presented as the general of Zuo Wuwei, and he was called Zhenxian. This kind of loyalty is very respected by everyone. Wang Shizhen, a great writer of the Ming Dynasty, commented on Lao Zhang: He is not perfect, but he is also perfect! He was a eunuch, physically handicapped, but morally, a man with a capital letter. It's better than a big ticket. In the later period, Li Cunqiao was full of ambition, overhauled the palace, looted the people's wealth, was suspicious of the heroes, favored the servants, and took the stage name "Li Tianxia". He also appointed Kong Qian as a tenant envoy, stripped off the law, generously served, the service was heavy, the soldiers were scarce, the Quartet was hungry, there were many complaints, and the mutiny swarmed. In the fourth year of Tongguang (926), Li Cunxuan sent Li Siyuan to lead troops to suppress the Yedu mutiny led by Zhao Zaili, but Li Siyuan conspired with the rebels and returned to attack Luoyang. In April, Li Cunqiao died in the Xingjiaomen Rebellion. Ouyang Xiu also wrote the "Preface to the Biography of Lingguan": [The original text can be skipped] Woohoo! The principle of prosperity and decline, although it is called the mandate of heaven, is it not personnel! The reason why the original Zhuangzong won the world can be known from those who lost it.

Shiyan Jin King's general will also end, and he will give Zhuang Zong with three arrows and tell him: "Liang, I am also enemies; King Yan, I established, Khitan and I are about brothers, and they all turn their backs to Liang. These three are also resentful. With your three arrows, you have not forgotten the will of your father! "Zhuang Zong was hidden in the temple. After the use of soldiers, they were sent to sue the temple with a small prison, and asked them to be sent to the arrow, and they were filled with tips, and they were defeated and precursed, and they were accepted in triumph.

Fang Qi is the father and son of Yan to the group, the head of the Han Liang monarchs, entered the Taimiao, and also the first king, and sued for success, its spirit is magnificent, it can be described as magnificent! And the enemy has been extinguished, the world has been decided, a husband calls at night, the chaos responds, the emperor goes out in a hurry, the soldiers are scattered before they see the thief, the monarch and the ministers take care of each other, I don't know where to go, as for the oath of the sky to break the hair, cry and dip the placket, how declining! How hard is it to gain and easy to lose? Or is it the traces of its success or failure, and it is all from people? The book says: "Full of losses, humble benefits." Sorrow can rejuvenate the country, Yiyu can die, and the principle of nature is also.

Therefore, Fang Qisheng is also the hero of the world, and he can't compete with it; and its decline, dozens of people are trapped, and the country is destroyed, laughing for the world. Husband's calamities often accumulate in the slightest, and the wisdom and courage are more trapped in drowning, how can they be alone! In short, Ouyang Xiu sighed a lot. The list of high-quality authors has given people the illusion that "Li Cunmiao worked hard and was simple and simple in his early years, and in his later years, he favored traitors and wanton pleasures, so Li Cunmiao won first and then lost." Why do you say illusion? Do you think, from the reign of Li Cunqiao (908) to the destruction of Houliang (923), 15 years. From the destruction of Liang to the death of Li Cunqiao (926), 3 years. In 3 years, he also destroyed the former Shu. This sex is turning faster?! So maybe it wasn't Li Cunqing's early efforts and later waves. He's been very profligate. The reason why there is no wave is because there is an old lady Mrs. Cao in the family, Zhou Dewei in Wu, and Zhang Chengye in Wen. They all controlled him. Mrs. Cao is the steering wheel, Zhou Dewei is the airbag, Zhang Chengye is the brake, these three people are gone, and Li Cunmiao's car is destroyed and ...... people dieYaqiu:

I think of a high school classmate who liked a girl in high school and everyone knew it.

In the end, the results of the college entrance examination were much worse than usual.

After that, the head teacher told each class of students that this product was because early love affected their studies.

But as his roommate, I knew there was little connection between the two.

He didn't really like that girl that much.

Later, when some classmates matched, he refused, on the grounds that ——

I want to go to college to pick up girls.

Ouyang Xiu:Yaqiu, come here, I won't be able to kill you! (If you don't understand it, see you in the comment area, there must be a master).
