Hunan Jiedushi and Tong Pingzhang have done a great job these days.
Last year, he went to Chang'an with the Jiedushi envoys of the world. Although he gained a lot of titles, his status in the dynasty was greatly improved, and the court rewarded a lot of wealth. But after returning to Chu, he dominated thousands of miles, Tens of thousands of people have been given the power to kill, and the officials dispatched by the court will leave them a little bit.
Today, Mahin has little power. Although he is still the king of Changsha and retains nominal control over the Chu army, in fact, his military and political orders can no longer leave Changsha City.
From the king of a thousand miles to the chief of a city in Changsha, from having unrestricted power to the authority to listen to court orders in all matters, Mayin felt like a tiger with teeth and claws removed, and fell To four dislikes.
He was uncomfortable and did not speak, and there was no more majesty at all, even killing an aide would have a lot of trouble.
Although the officials of Shishifu still respected him, but the junior sons of his tribe came to work, and he wanted to arrange an official position, which could only be in the three-mu land of Changsha City. Whether it is the county below or other states, he can't think about it.
Outside Changsha City, no one knows who Ma Yin is anymore, but all officials with a bit of rank can talk about the power of law in front of him.
Even if it had been expected for a long time, the cruel and warm humanity still exceeded Mayin's expectations. He gradually realized that he, who was once the King of Chu, could not bear such a life.
The eldest husband can't wake up to the power of the world.
His old ministry has been divided into two factions. One faction has turned to the court and has been transferred to another post by the court. It has become a so-called court official and has nothing to do with him;
One faction was not favored by the imperial court, or was unwilling to leave the foundation of Chudi. Except for a few people, they also had powers, and most of them were at home.
Of course, the former faction has no need to say much. It has no contact with Ma Yin, and there is no contact. The latter faction is in groups of three, and the difference is three to five.
They complained to him of their difficult situation, expressed their indifference to the court's seizure of his authority, cursed the court officials' domineering and no one in their eyes, and signaled that as long as he raised his arm, they would call the minions to follow the King Chu!
At first, Ma Yin often remembered what happened in Chang'an, and was deeply afraid of the strength of King An, so most of them were to appease and persuade his old ministry.
It was because of his comfort and persuasion that his old ministry did not make trouble and did not clash with court officials.
If he is not in Changsha and only looks at the resentment of his old ministry, I am afraid that Chu Di has long been out of nowhere, and there may well have been a rebellion.
As time passed, the old ministry continued to show loyalty, praised his prestige, and passed on the grievances of countless people who were "oppressed" by the court officials. Ma Yin gradually felt that perhaps his original choice was indeed a little timid.
He gradually thought that his influence in Chudi and his control over Chudi were actually huge.
If he wants, he can still be the king of Chu land that can make the world tremble.
Especially after drinking, Ma Yin felt that he was living too much now, and his choice was indeed wrong.
But most of the time, Ma Yin was sober, he knew that he really couldn't compete with King An's power. If he acted rashly, he was afraid that the head of Xiang would be taken away by Wang An at any time.
Even if he is unwilling, unwilling, and regretted, there is nothing he can do now.
So he was suffering and suffering.
Until a team under the guise of a caravan, handed him a post.
Mayin knew that his turn might come.
The people who came to visit him were not actually a force, but came from two different directions.
The middle-aged man with a horse face headed by him is an ambassador sent by Khitan Yelu Abaoji and a great monk of the Khitan religion; the fat man standing next to him with a smile on the face of Maitreya Buddha is the envoy of King Nanzhao.
Ma Yin originally thought that it was the caravan who offered himself treasures. Seeing that they knocked on the door enough, Ma Yin met them in the hall.
Mayin has not received a satisfactory contribution for a long time. Although the present was given by the merchant, he also met with interest in person.
When the other party showed their identity, Ma Yin would invite them to the study and closed the door to entertain them secretly.
"Kidan is thousands of miles away from Chu Di, and Nanzhao is not adjacent to Chu Di. The two came to talk to the king about something to do, I'm afraid it's overdone." Ma Yin maintained his dignity and said lightly.
The word "Ben Wang" did not just say casually. After he surrendered Chu Di's power, the court sealed him as the king of Changsha County.
Mayn was not satisfied with the title of King of the County. He had wanted to be named King of Chu. But at that time, he was frightened by Li Zhi's strength, and the court gave Ken a county king. He was grateful to Dade for the first time and did not dare to provoke him.
This also became a veritable fact that Ma Yin's old ministry attacked the court. In his "faithful" old ministry, whenever there was no outsider in private, he always agreed to call him King Chu.
The Khitan ambassador Yeluyenie drank red tea and frowned slightly, as if he was not accustomed to the taste, and put down the tea bowl, but still smiled and said to Ma Yin: "The word of the county king is bad. It is because Khitan and The Chu land is one south and one north, so it is good for each other to support the Tang Dynasty's military forces to the greatest extent. Naturally, the county king will not understand this principle after a long battle in the field. "
Nanzhao's messenger Shunhuazhen nodded and echoed, "That's right. My Nanzhao is also not adjacent to Chu, so this can be united with the county king. If they are connected to each other, they are afraid that the county king will also We will not allow our soldiers and horses to enter, and they are close to the county king's jurisdiction, I'm afraid it will make the king unhappy. "
Mayin was silent.
He naturally understood the truths of Yerecenich and Shunhua Zhen.
After all, these people are aliens. It is impossible for Ma Yin to be defenseless against them, and they will definitely not let their soldiers and horses enter their control.
If the other side suddenly turns the soldiers to attack themselves, then they will be completely lost, and this kind of thing is not impossible.
At present, there are some distances between each other's jurisdictions. Starting a troop together can not only support each other, but also disperse and restrain the court troops.
Of course, in this way, everyone's forces cannot be united, nor is it flawless. If it cannot be twisted into a rope, it will not have the ability to decisively fight the court.
Ma Yin pretended to be unhearted, Xu Xu said, "Why do I believe in you? I waited for your relatives and no reason to rely on your three-inch tongue, just like instigating the king to betray the court, it would be too childish."
Yeluxianiechi laughed and said, "Since I came with the caravan, what the county king wanted, the caravan would naturally be able to provide it. You can replace the treasures and recruit the strange treasures of the horse. As much as the county king wants, we will How much can I give. "
Ma Yin's eyes narrowed: "How much can you give, how much can you give?"
Yeluxianiechi smiled more and more intensely: "Of course. We formed an alliance with the county king with sincerity and can help our friends. Khitan will do his best. If the county king is willing to form an alliance with Khitan, there must be Sincerity. "
Mayin nodded.
Khitan and Nanzhao will give him a lot of money, even the amount he can draw up by himself, but must not be outrageous, otherwise it is extortion, and then there is no sincerity.
However, Ma Yin did not relax, if thoughtfully: "Since the two dare to come to ally with the king, they must also know the strength of the court, then the two should understand that if they want to do something in the Tang Dynasty, rich money is not enough."
Shunhua Zhen took the conversation: "This is nature. There are not many monks around the county king, and we are willing to send someone to strengthen the county king."
Mayin immediately asked: "How much can your Lord give?"
Shunhua Zhen laughed and said nothing.
Mayin looked back at Yereznech.
Yeltrenetch also maintained an inscrutable smile.
Ma Yin understood this. The other party finances his own money and sends a monk to help him, so he should show his sincerity. He must not just reap nothing but pay.
At least, Khitan and Nanzhao must confirm that Ma Yin will do things, not to get away with money, or even to invite the court to the Tang Dynasty.
Ma Yin groaned for a moment. "The most important thing to do is to raise money and monks. Both these two points were given. Naturally, the king did not need to provide feedback on these two aspects. So the two meanings ... .. "
Speaking of this, Ma Yin's eyes glanced over a gloomy color, and he had understood what the other party wanted.
Yerutnej Chichi smiled lowly: "The king of the county thinks right. What we want is indeed a proton."
Mayin was silent again.
Send your son to Khitan and Nanxun, and there will be no room for remorse when uniting with them.
This is not that Ma Yin must care about his son's life. Too many heroes who want to be a great cause, although they feel heartache when necessary, can also abandon their son. He was worried that once his son arrived in Nanxun and Khitan, if he repented, the other party could send people to Changan and expose the fact that he was rebellious.
With protons, plus the covenant, the imperial court would believe it. Even if Ma Yin was arguing about his son, he was caught by them, and he was framed. That would not help.
Mayin did not give a clear answer to this question, but instead stared at Yeluxianiechi and Shunhua Zhen, saying meaningfully: "You Khitan want to drink the Ma Huang River, wouldn't you capture Changan? You Nanzhao Constantly invading the land of Shu and Lingnan, plundering and robbing the population of Zhouxian County, if you have enough wealthy people, you will retreat contentedly. Isn't the king alone to face the revenge of the court? "
Although two questions were asked separately, in fact, both questions were asked of two people.
Yeluxiene Chihaha laughed and laughed wildly, pointing at Ma Yin unceremoniously: "King, don't forget, our common enemy is the Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Zhi is destroyed, who will be by then Isn't it all by means of sitting on the ground?
"Do you and I make a covenant today that clearly divides the land of the Tang Dynasty, and will always be in peace in the future? If the king of the county thinks so, then we will be too disappointed. The king of the county wants to be a great cause, but he will not be strong and strong at that time. Ambitious? "
Ma Yin darkened his face.
Shunhua Zhen said at this time: "Actually, the king of Nanzhao did not have much ambition. He wanted to occupy the land of Shu and establish a real dynasty. Does the king of the county think that the king of Nanzhao is just a chicken and a dog, and he has no ambition? In the final analysis, Nanxun's place is still too barren. To achieve hegemony in Shu is my dream. "
Mayin's face grew darker.
But his heart became extremely open.
He has now determined initially that Khitan and Nanzhao are not playing him or holding him to make Tang trouble. They are sitting and watching the show, taking advantage of some small things on the sidelines.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Khitan is going to capture Chang'an or whether he wants to swallow all states and counties of Datang. As Yerutrianych put it, by that time it's all in its own right.
Ma Yin didn't believe that when he swept the Jiangnan and the court collapsed, he would not be strong and strong, and his Majesty would not have a large number of realities.
At that time, it will be unknown if the deer died in the Central Plains.
As long as Khitan and Nanzhao sincerely want to overthrow Datang and be able to restrain most of the court's forces, then Ma Yin will have the opportunity to achieve his great cause.
As for what will happen in the future, Ma Yin also thought very clearly: Defeating Khitan and slaughtering Nanzhao. The Han and Tang dynasties fought against the aliens. Except during the Anshi Rebellion, the middle of the country was unstable, and the Western Region and Hexi were lost.
As long as you don't miss the opportunity, you can quickly sweep the Jiangnan and occupy the Jianghuai land, and at the same time destroy the Liu Yin and Wu Yue Qian Mu of Lingnan, you will certainly be so powerful. By then, Wang Shibei will go to the Central Plains to expel the Qidan group of barbarians. .
At least, it's easy to drive the other party north of the Yellow River.
When he enters Changan and sits in the Central Plains, he will be able to Xutu Hebei. Once he has completely defeated the Shu land and destroyed Nanzhao, he will then fight against Qidan and flatten the grasslands. In this way, Huang Tubaye is in his own hands, and his achievements will be as impressive as the Emperor Taizong.
Great prospects are at your fingertips.
The stormy sea surged in Ma Yin's heart.
It turned out that Li Yi ’s current deeds seemed to be like the sun and the sky, but in fact they were just flowers and moons in the mirror. In the end, everything must be attributed to his own hands! You will be the master of the world and the founding emperor of the new dynasty!
He didn't go crazy. Instead, the more he thought about it, the calmer he became.
The downfall of Chu in these days has polished his heart to be tough.
Ma Yin's sharp eyes turned to Yereuznech and Shunhuazhen. "If we want to get things done, we should draw as many allies as possible. Although we can let go of it, it is not stable. Forces, we can't be underestimated now! "
Yeluxianiechi and Shunhua Zhen looked at each other, and they saw the smile in each other's eyes.
They knew that Ma Yin was moved.
Maybe, Ma Yin was already excited, just waiting for an opportunity.
"The county king is assured of preparing for the major event. We have contacted Huihu, Tubo, Shatuo, Dangxiang, and the Bohai State. At that time, there will be an army attacking Datang in all directions. Even if Li Zhi has three heads and six arms, there must be only a dead end! "
...
Lingnan has been a narrow place since ancient times. Many officials who have been exiled from the court will come here, which is naturally not a good place.
A chorus played on the nineth heaven, and Xiyang Road depreciated eight thousand.
In order to get rid of the ills for the holy Ming, it will die down and retire!
Where is Yun Heng Qin Ling's home?
Zhiru should come intentionally from afar, so as to collect my bones by the river.
This is Han Yu's masterpiece. At first, because of his opposition to Xianzong's obsession with Buddhism, he wrote a copy of "The Bone Buddha's Bone Table" and was eventually assigned to Lingnan by the emperor. "Chaoyang" is Chaozhou, Lingnan.
Lingnan Jiedushi made Liu Yin, speaking of dozens of states under his jurisdiction, in fact, a state in Lingnan, far less than a county in the Central Plains. Separated from this place, it is easy to be the king of one party by virtue of the danger of mountains and rivers. If you want to forge ahead with the power of Lingnan, it is simply a dream.
But even so, Liu Yin fought a lot with Ma Yin.
Going north, Liu Yin was actually not so interested, but she couldn't hold back Ma Yin and didn't allow anyone in the backyard. She always thrived south, and Liu Yin had to deal with it.
Lingnan's way out of wealth is actually overseas, so the prosperity of Lingnan is the future of Lingnan. Over the years, Liu Yin has been doing this, in order to make his soldiers and horses stronger, and to be able to keep one's foundation.
But since last year when he came to Chang'an and saw the forces of King An, he knew that what he could leave to his children and grandchildren was no longer the foundation of Wang Ye, but a wealth.
It's good to stay rich. If he is the county king, his son can be a grandfather, and his grandson is still a marquis. The title alone has been passed down for generations, and he has lived up to a fight over the years.
Therefore, Liu Yin has always been very comfortable, and I feel that such a day is quite good.
But now, Liu Yin doesn't think so.
He is very shy, anxious, and even restless.
In the first two days, Nanzhao's messenger came and said he would form an alliance with him and not invade each other in the future; Khitan's messenger also came and expressed his willingness to send some major monks to help him accomplish great things, as long as he sent troops to Fujian and Wu .
After Liu Yin dealt with the two messengers, he pretended to be sick at home.
As for the other party's request, he dare not agree.
He knew very well that he was not qualified to compete for the world at all, and it was even more of a joke to send troops to Fujian. There is also a barren land, and the mountains are difficult to move, and recruiting troops is tantamount to self-death.
Pretending to be ill is to see no one, no Khitan and Nanzhao people.
But pretending to be sick, a method that has been used for a long time, obviously cannot let the Khitan and Nanzhao messengers leave.
That night, Liu Yin, who was drunk and sorrowful, was lying in a suit, and the door of the window was suddenly opened! Several swift figures jumped into the room and awakened Liu Yin.
Liu Yin was a monk in his own right, and the first thing she noticed was the movement. However, she couldn't help but feel cold as soon as she jumped out of bed.
In front of him, there are a total of six monks. The leader is strong and obviously not weaker than himself!
And when these people broke into their rooms, there was no one in the government to warn them! This shows that their guards have been killed, and completed in silence!
His Majesty Liu Yin originally had many great monks. However, since accepting the canon of the imperial court, becoming the king of Guangzhou, and surrendering the military and political power in his hands, the great monks of his Majesty have left themselves and went to the imperial court to seek a future.
In addition to Liu Yin himself, there are only two monks in the real world of Lingchi who are loyal to him and swear they will never fail.
Now, these two people are clearly on Huangquan Road.
"Who are you? What do you mean ?!" Liu Yin knew he was trying to escape, but he didn't lose his dignity, he asked in a deep voice.
I sneered at the head: "Give you the opportunity to accomplish your great cause, how dare you not. When the gift of the Khitan religion is to accept it, to accept it, to reject it? If you choose to disobey God's will, then Face death! "
