The poem reads:
The current emperor Li Shimin has issued an edict to find his son-in-law.
Chen Lin came to recommend Zhang Chong, and the emperor's son-in-law read out the edict in his house.
Zhang Chong had intended to tease Lin Shiyu, but he was interrupted by Lianxiang. He continued to watch the show. Zhang Chong listened to Lianxiang's words and said with a smile,"Mother, I will listen to you."”Lianxiang nodded. Zhang Chong looked at Yue Lan and said,""Sister, are you alright? Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you.”Yue Lan looked at her silly younger brother and said with a smile,""Thank you, brother. However…" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Shiyu and said,"Big Brother Shiyu has already reported it to me.”"I said I'll find the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother to avenge you," Zhang Chong said with a smile.”"Brother Zhang Chong is right. There's still me." Lin Shiyu nodded.”Yue Lan felt that she was very lucky and happy. She smiled happily, so cute and charming. It was getting dark. After dinner, everyone went to rest. There was nothing to talk about at night.
The next day, during the morning court session at four o'clock, the civil and military officials stood on both sides of the throne room. They were all dressed in court robes and official hats, looking very handsome. After a while, Eunuch Chen shouted,"The Emperor has arrived!"”Not long after, Eunuch Chen helped the Emperor Li Shimin to the throne and retreated to the side. Look at how the Emperor was dressed. The Emperor was wearing a jade crown with nine dragons and a dragon robe. He stood on his throne majestically. Wearing black dragon gold shoes and a dragon ribbon tied around his waist, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground to pay their respects to the emperor's memorial.
"Greetings, Emperor. Long live our Emperor!”All the officials knelt down and said in unison.
"Beloved ministers, rise!" Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne and opened his mouth wide.
"Thank you, Emperor!" After thanking Long En, the civil and military officials stood up and split into two groups.
"Beloved ministers, this one has a very important matter to discuss with everyone in the morning court today. This one has already sent someone to the Fuma residence to summon Marshal Zhang and let him enter the palace to discuss this matter!”As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger shouted,"Marshal Zhang, enter the palace!" When the civil and military officials heard the shout, they all looked out of the hall and saw a handsome young man in his early twenties walking towards the throne room. Look at how Zhang Chong is dressed today: He wore a bright moon official hat on his head, with black ribbons hanging on both sides. He wore a bright moon court dress embroidered with a golden tiger case, a black official belt tied around his waist, and tiger-gold shoes on his feet. He hurriedly went up to the golden hall and knelt on the ground to greet the emperor."This lowly subject pays his respects to the emperor. Long live my emperor!”Zhang Chong knelt in the middle of the throne room and shouted. "Minister Zhang, please rise!" The emperor waved his dragon robe. Zhang Chong thanked Long En and stood up, retreating to the side. "Minister Zhang, I heard that you fought with Third Prince Nezha yesterday. What happened? Do you want to tell me?" Li Shi Min looked at Zhang Chong in surprise.
"Your Majesty doesn't know? If we were to talk about this matter, it would have to start from my mother, Xiaoxue. My mother was not a mortal. She was the adopted daughter of the Jade Emperor, the Princess of the Heavenly Court. Because of her greed for love in the human world, she secretly descended to the mortal world behind the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's back and married my father. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother knew that his mother had descended to the mortal world without permission. They sent the God of Spellcasting, Erlang, and Yang Jian, to the mortal world to capture his mother and bring her back to the mortal world. Zhang Chong had already shed tears. All the civil and military officials felt sad for him. Before Zhang Chong could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Emperor,"Xiaoxue? Yang Jian?" "The Emperor knows my mother and Second Brother Yang?" Zhang Chong asked.”"Your mother treated my illness in the past. I named her Princess Ping Yang and your father the Prince Consort. Unknowingly, your mother disappeared, and your father also mysteriously disappeared. He listened to the words of that dog thief Wang Maocheng and chased your family out of the Zhang Manor. As for Yang Jian? He was also my benefactor. At that time, I had not recovered from a long illness and posted an imperial notice to recruit famous doctors. When Great Xia Yang saw it, he took the imperial roll and entered the palace to treat Zhen. Moreover, tell me where you are and let me redeem your family. I listened to him and had a good general like you, Minister Zhang! Sigh, it's all my fault! What happened to your mother after that?"
"Second Brother Yang was too righteous, he really came later. At that time, my mother was already six months pregnant, Second Brother Yang was magnanimous, he waited for my mother to give birth to me before bringing her back to the Heavenly Court. As expected, on the day I was born, Second Brother Yang appeared again. Just like that, Mother was brought back to the Heavenly Court by him. On the second day after Mother left, Father left home because he loved his wife so much that he left a letter and left. He entrusted Grandma, Sister, and me to Godfather Lin Tao. Later, there was a maid named Lianxiang who married Father. They lived and died together as a loving couple and raised us together.”Zhang Chong bowed to all the officials and then to Li Shimin. He continued,""Time flies like an arrow. Eighteen years have passed, and we are already eighteen years old. When Father told us about our origins, we were very sad and decided to take him as our master to save our mother. Under the cover of Shiyu and Yushan, he learned the Way of Celestial Immortality from Immortal Tai Yi. When he came back, Li Jing had taken his godfather back to the Heavenly Court. Shiyu was also captured and imprisoned by the Heavenly soldiers in order to save his godfather. I went to the Heavenly Court to save them after knowing the situation. Unfortunately, my godfather died in the chaotic battle. I could have let my godfather return to the world, but King Qinguang received the order of the Jade Emperor and dispersed my godfather's soul. Therefore, Brother Shiyu, Brother Yang Jian, and I made a scene in the underworld and had to come back to bury my godfather. My father died for our Zhang family. I, Zhang Chong, will never forget the kindness of my father and mother (Lianxiang). I want to repay my mother (also referring to Lianxiang), and I also want to get my biological mother out of the prison and reunite with my family.”At this point, Zhang Chong's face was covered in tears. All the officials, no, even the Emperor, were also in tears. They were all shocked by Zhang Chong's background and filial piety.
"Minister Zhang's life is so tragic that zhen is deeply moved. If Minister Zhang needs zhen's help, just say it.”Five seconds later, Li Shiming broke the dead silence. "Thank you for your kindness, the emperor. Zhang Chong will do anything to repay you. Please accept three bows!”Zhang Chong kneeled on the ground and cupped his hands in front of Li Shimin. After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times in a row. At this time, the civil and military officials discussed animatedly. "Minister Zhang, quickly get up!" The Emperor stood up and said to Zhang Chong. "Thank you, Emperor!" With that, Zhang Chong stood up and the Emperor sat down. Just as Zhang Chong was about to step aside, the messenger shouted,"Princess Qiuhua, His Highness Qiansui has arrived!" As soon as he shouted, all the officials looked outside. I'm finished, I'm finished, the princess is going to sue me for deceiving the phoenix. Princess Qiuhua came to the throne room. Butterfly's hair was tied into a bun, and golden flowers were stuck in front of her temples. A silk curtain hung from her forehead, and golden earrings hung on both sides. Her face was like a peach blossom fairy, and there was a golden necklace around her neck. She wore a pink dress embroidered with a pink ribbon around her waist. The princess was simply extraordinary. The civil and military officials cupped their hands at Princess Qiuhua and said in unison,""Greetings, Your Highness!" Wow who! It turns out that being the emperor's children also has such great fortune! The civil and military officials were all respectful to them, and the people in the palace were at their beck and call. They were really blessed immortals! "There's no need to be so polite." Princess Qiuhua smiled at the officials. "Thank you, Your Highness!" After saying that, they all retreated to their original positions. Qiu Hua came to the center of the throne room and bowed to Li Shimin,"Your son greets Imperial Father!" (Since ancient times, men kneel, women do not kneel, specifically referring to the royal family)
"Haha, Hua 'er, there's no need to be so polite!" The Emperor looked at his daughter and laughed,"Hua 'er, why are you looking for Imperial Father?”At this moment, Qiuhua came to the Emperor's side and coquettishly leaned against the Emperor,""Imperial Father, your son has something to ask of you.”As we said, Princess Qiuhua is the apple of Emperor Taizong's eye, so of course she has to act coquettishly for the Emperor. The Emperor likes Qiuhua's image of acting coquettishly. In the harem, the Emperor is always amused by her. She is the happy apple of the palace. "Oh, what request does Hua 'er have for Imperial Father?”The Emperor deliberately asked with an 'oh'. When Qiuhua heard this, she was extremely happy. She couldn't help but blush. She looked at Zhang Chong and said to the Emperor,""Imperial Father, he bullied your son." As she spoke, she pointed at Zhang Chong with her left finger. Her pointing was not a big deal, but it scared Zhang Chong. Look at him, he quickly knelt down and said,"Emperor, please forgive me. Princess, please forgive me." Li Shimin laughed and said,"What crime does Minister Zhang have?" Please get up." Zhang Chong thanked Long En and stood up. He looked up at Princess Qiuhua and saw her smiling at him with a shy expression.
"Hua 'er, how did Marshal Zhang bully you? Quickly tell Imperial Father.”Hearing Li Shiming's words, Qiu Hua blushed and said,"Imperial Father, it's nothing. Don't ask.”The Emperor listened to his daughter's words and smiled." Hua 'er, you go back first. Wait until Father leaves court before you tell Zhen, okay?"”"Yes, father. Your son will take his leave." Princess Qiuhua bowed to Li Shiming and walked off the Golden Dragon Platform with a smile. The book explained that the Golden Dragon Platform was the golden throne. The golden dragon was square, eight feet long and two feet high. There were a total of twenty steps from the platform to the stage, and all three sides were the same. Only one side was against a golden wall, and there was a jade table on it. The front of the jade table was more than two feet wide. Behind the jade table was the golden dragon throne. The emperor was leaning against the golden jade glass wall. On the center of the glass wall, there was a golden plaque that wrote: Honest and just, the king is upright, eight big golden words. The dragon fans on the east and west sides crossed each other, and two palace maids stood on each side. The Soaring Heaven King Palace was similar to this, but it was two or three times higher than this. Other than the big characters in the middle, everything else was the same. In the future, everyone would know about it. The Soaring Heaven King Palace would not be explained in detail in the future. In the center of the Soaring Heaven King Palace, it wrote: The Jade Emperor was fair, selfless, and aboveboard. The sixteen golden words were finished.
Princess Qiuhua came to Zhang Chong's side and smiled. She suddenly turned around and her hair and dress fluttered in the air. Zhang Chong was mesmerized by her every move. His eyes were fixed on Princess Qiuhua. After Qiuhua left the palace, Zhang Chong still hadn't woken up. "Minister Zhang, what's wrong?" Li Shi Min could tell, but he asked the obvious. "Oh, emperor, this lowly official has been rude.”Zhang Chong hurriedly cupped his hands as if he had just woken up from a dream. Li Shimin smiled."Minister Zhang, I summoned you to the palace today to tell you that the rebels have fled to Fengfeng Mountain after their defeat. Yesterday, the scouts reported that Wang Maocheng will attack Luzhou in three days." Minister Zhang, do you have any good ideas? The magistrate of Luzhou, Chen Yantang, was now critically ill. Li Shimin told him about Wang Maocheng's attack on Luzhou and Chen Yantang's illness. "Emperor need not be troubled. As long as this lowly official is here, that dog thief Wang Maocheng can forget about succeeding!”Zhang Chong stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Reporting to the emperor, Marshal Zhang's words make sense. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." The person who spoke was the Lord of the Ministry of Justice. Look at how he dressed. He wore a long-eared official hat with a black ribbon hanging from it. He wore a sun-moon court dress with a unicorn case embroidered on it. He wore a pair of long-waisted official shoes on his feet, and a black official belt tied around his waist. (Civil Official)
The book explained: As the saying goes: a dynasty has a courtier, a generation of emperors a generation of clothes. This sentence was not false at all. Therefore, other than the Prime Minister, Prince, Marshal, Doctor and other high-ranking officials, most of the ministers in the court were dressed almost the same. However, they still had to describe the main characters so that they could show their elegance. "Lord Li is right. With my suggestion, we should immediately send troops to Fengtou Mountain to kill them to prevent chaos.”The person who spoke was the Minister of War, Liang Junyi. He wore a long-eared official hat on his head, a silk official robe embroidered with a unicorn pattern on his body, a pair of long waist official boots on his feet, and a silk gold belt tied around his waist. Needless to say, civil officials all dressed like this. After hearing this, the Emperor asked Xu Maogong, the military counselor,""Advisor Jun, what do you think we should do?" Xu Maogong stepped forward and cupped his hands." Your Majesty, it's good that Lord Liang has built the city, but Wang Maocheng might not attack Luzhou."”When everyone heard Xu Maogong's words, they couldn't stop discussing. Duke Mao's hair was tied into a bun that soared into the sky, with a golden hairpin inserted into it. He was handsome and majestic. He wore a green Daoist robe embroidered with the Eight Trigrams and black official boots.
"How did you know that Wang Maocheng would not attack Luzhou?”The person who spoke was Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao. Look at how Qin Shubao was dressed. Shu Bao was a King, and was different from the other civil and military officials. Shu Bao was wearing a yellow vest and a purple gold crown. He stood majestically in the palace, while Shu Bao was wearing a pair of high-ranking official boots. When he walked, his voice shook the sky. "General Qin, you might not know this, but Wang Maocheng is as cunning as a fox and full of tricks. He is bent on fighting his way back to the capital," Xu Maogong said with a smile."I understand the meaning behind your words.”After saying that, Qin Shubao cupped his hands at the Emperor and said,""Your Majesty, the military counselor said that we have to be careful. It is possible that Wang Maocheng will give up Luzhou and not fight. Instead, he will send troops back to the capital.）。”"Brother Prince is right. Then what should we do with Brother Qin's suggestion?”Shu Bao looked at Zhang Chong and said,"Zhang Chong, you have unparalleled martial arts. I'll leave this matter to you."”Zhang Chong stepped forward and cupped his hands." Marshal, please rest assured. I will not fail my mission. However, I will need your guidance on how to proceed."”Qin Shubao nodded and looked at Chen Lin.""General Chen, after the court session ends, quickly inform the various city towers to be on high alert. Once there is any news, immediately report it to me.”Chen Lin stepped forward and cupped his hands." Marshal, please rest assured. I will not fail my mission."”Qin Shubao explained the plan to the ministers again. Cheng Yaojin and the other ministers clapped their hands and praised,""Good plan."
"Brother Qin is indeed a loyal general of the Great Tang. It is a blessing for the Great Tang to have Brother Qin and loyal generals like Minister Zhang! It's the blessing of my people!" Li Shi Min looked at the ministers and praised. The emperor was overjoyed, as if Li Shimin had never been so happy before. "Many thanks for the emperor's trust in us! We will do our best to protect the Great Tang for generations to come!”The ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison. This sound was deafening, shaking the throne room. "My beloved ministers, quickly stand up and speak. I'm so happy to have loyal officials like you!”Li Shi Min was extremely moved by the words of the officials. He hurriedly stood up and waved his dragon robe. After thanking Long En, the civil and military officials all stood up and retreated to their original positions. Zhang Chong stepped forward and cupped his hands."Emperor, this lowly subject wishes to give you two great gifts to express this lowly subject's loyalty to the Great Tang and the Emperor.”"Minister Zhang, what gift do you have for me?”The Emperor asked Zhang Chong happily. "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."”With that, the golden light wrapped around him and disappeared. "Minister Zhang's divine skills are peerless. I am ashamed of my inferiority!”Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Chong appeared in the middle of the throne room. He was holding something wrapped in black cloth in his hands. It was as big as a ball. What were these two things?
"Why did Minister Zhang come back so quickly? Why did he have two more things in his hands?”Li Shimin asked Zhang Chong with a smile. Zhang Chong smiled at the emperor: "Replying to the emperor, these two things are the heads of Wang Maocheng's military advisor and vanguard, Chen Jiashun and Dai Shouqiang.”As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor and all the officials were stunned. "Where did Minister Zhang twist the heads of these two thieves?”Three seconds later, the Emperor asked in surprise. Zhang Chong put down his head and cupped his hands."I broke into the Fengtou Mountain military camp and took the heads of these two thieves.”"Haha, Minister Zhang is too godly. Seeing is believing. Fengtoushan Military District promised to be on high alert. Men, hang the heads of these two rebels on the eastern tower for me, and hold a banquet for Minister Zhang in the Hall of Solicitude to celebrate.”Li Shi Min stood up and shouted. After a while, two imperial guards ran in from outside the hall and took the two heads out of the hall. "Farewell, Emperor. Long live my Emperor!”The civil and military officials knelt down to see the Emperor off. After the Emperor left the palace, the civil and military officials cupped their hands at Zhang Chong and went their separate ways. Qin Shubao came to Zhang Chong's side and said with a smile,""General Zhang's divine skills are peerless. Uncle Bao is extremely impressed.”Zhang Chong bowed to Qin Shubao and said hurriedly,"Marshal, what are you saying? How can Zhang Chong be compared to you?”Shu Bao smiled." General Zhang is too modest. Shu Bao is just a martial artist. How can he compare to you?" Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's talk in the Hall of Admissions." The others also came forward to congratulate him. Just like that, Zhang Chong and the others walked towards the Hall of Admissions.
Chang 'an's East City was very lively. The people surrounded the city gate tightly. There were two heads hanging on the city gate tower. There was also an imperial notice pasted on the city wall below. These two bandits were the military advisor and the vanguard under Wang Maocheng. The heads of Chen Jiashun and Dai Shouqiang were chopped off by the new Marshal Zhang Chong who sneaked into the camp of Fengtoushan Military District two hours ago to vent the oppression of the people in Chang 'an.
Some people called Zhang Chong's official name happily after seeing the Imperial Roll. Chang 'an City was suddenly bustling with people and horses. The news spread quickly. In less than six hours, the whole Tang Empire knew about this matter. Everyone was excited, and of course, everyone in the Fuma's Mansion knew about it. Chang 'an Fortress was so lively that it could not be described with words. As the saying goes, one side is happy and the other side is worried. If you kill your father and take your wife, you must take revenge. This sentence was right.
Then, they would talk about the Fengtou Mountain military camp. While Wang Maocheng was discussing the strategy to attack Luzhou the day after tomorrow with a few lords, a soldier ran in from outside and knelt on the ground. He hurriedly said,"Reporting to your highness, something bad has happened!”Wang Maocheng helped him up and asked,"What's the matter?"”The soldier looked at Wang Maocheng and replied,""The heads of Military Advisor Chen and Dai Xianfeng were chopped off by a man in black and taken away.”Wang Maocheng and the others looked at each other. "Is this true?" Wang Maocheng asked in surprise. At this moment, he was very frightened. He did not expect that this matter was done by Zhang Chong. The other lords were also frightened out of their wits by this matter. "It's absolutely true, Your Highness!" Three seconds later, the soldier agreed. Wang Maocheng pondered for a moment and asked,"Where are their corpses?" "In the East Camp," the soldier replied hurriedly.”The soldier was also very scared, as if he was going to squat down. "Quick, lead us there." Wang Maocheng looked at the other masters and said. The soldier agreed and led Wang Maocheng and the others to the East Camp. Soon, they arrived at the East Camp. The two of them were lying beside the table. They were lying on the ground, their clothes dyed red with blood. Their bodies were intact, but their heads were nowhere to be found. The ground was covered in blood, which made people tremble. They helped the rebels to usurp the throne, and in the end, they ended up as a headless ghost. Good and evil will always be rewarded, just late or early.
When Wang Maocheng saw the two corpses, he hugged his head and cried. At this moment, the soldiers and several adults present were crying non-stop. The poem proves that the vanguard of the military division lies dead on the ground, and I don't know where his head has gone. The people in the camp came to meet each other and hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was really spectacular. The shouting and shouting continued. Some ran and some shouted. The East Camp was suddenly bustling with noise. After the crying, Wang Maocheng said," Who has the guts to come to my military camp and kill my officials? Could it be Zhang Chong?" Yes, it's him!" "Which Zhang Chong?" The elders asked.”Wang Maocheng turned around and said to the elders,""Do you still remember that twenty-one years ago, a witch named Xiaoxue appeared in Chang 'an?”The few lords nodded. Wang Maocheng said,"She married Zhang Mingguang and gave birth to a son named Zhang Chong. She was taken away by an unknown person again. Eighteen years after the demoness left, Zhang Chong had learned the Way of the Immortal somewhere. He could fly into the sky and enter the earth. The heads of the military counselor and the vanguard must have been cut off by him!”When the few adults heard this, they looked at each other in shock.
If you want to know what will happen next, let's talk about it in the next chapter.
Liu Yuanzhong: " Hello, everyone. I won't talk nonsense. I was busy all day yesterday, so I didn't send it yesterday." I wrote from 6:00 PM to 3:30 AM in the evening before I finished writing.
