Chapter 73 Chapter 72 Guiyi Hou Zhang Tianxi

Zhang Tianxi is the youngest son of Zhang Jun, the former emperor of Liang, and the uncle of Zhang Xuanliang.In September of the fifth year of promotion (AD 361), Zhang Yong, the right Sima, raised troops to kill Song Cheng, who was in charge of the government. Zhang Tianxi, 16, became the leader of the central government and assisted Zhang Yong in the government. Nominally, the two are assisting the government together, but in fact Zhang Yong monopolizes the power. Zhang Tianxi, who is young but ambitious, is of course dissatisfied.He conspired with his cronies Liu Su and Zhao Baiju to kill Zhang Yong and seize power.

In November of this year, Zhang Tianxi and Zhang Yong went to the palace to have an audience.As he was walking, Liu Su, who was following Zhang Tianxi, suddenly raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Yong, but missed. Zhao Baiju went up to make up the knife again, but missed, so he had to run into the palace with Tianxi.After Zhang Yong escaped, he brought 300 people to attack the palace gate.Zhang Tianxi looked very calm, and stood on the roof and shouted to the soldiers below: "Zhang Yong is ambitious. Killing the whole Song family is not enough, but he wants to kill my whole family. You are all loyal ministers of Qianliang, please don't go to Zhang Yong." That's right! I just want to kill Zhang Yong now, and I don't care about the rest." Zhang Yong's soldiers immediately dispersed, and Zhang Yong committed suicide in fear of crime.Zhang Tianxi assisted the government as a champion general and governor of Chinese and foreign military forces.

In August of the second year of Longhe (AD 363), Zhang Tianxi sent Liu Su to lead troops into the palace late at night to kill Zhang Xuanliang, and claimed to be a general, Liangzhou Mu and Xiping Gong. After mastering the power of Qianliang, Zhang Tianxi indulged in drinking and sex all day long, and even forgot to visit his mother on time, let alone deal with government affairs.His cousin Zhang Xian took the coffin to persuade Zhang Tianxi, but Zhang Tianxi didn't listen at all.In this way, another 10 years passed in a daze. In July of the first year of Taiyuan (376 AD), 130,000 former Qin Buqi aggressively attacked Liang.Zhang Tianxi hurriedly summoned a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the secretary of the ban was the first to speak, saying: "Send your beloved son as a hostage, and send more gold and silver treasures to Fu Jian, and let them withdraw their troops temporarily. Think of a way slowly. This is called seeking extension with flexion." Before Xi Yu's voice fell to the ground, the others said angrily: "We have been famous for being loyal to the Jin Dynasty for generations. Insult. Besides, Hexi is naturally dangerous, and there has been no disaster in a hundred years. If you send out the whole country's army and ask the Western Regions for help, how can you know that you will not be able to win the battle!" Infected by the high emotions of the ministers, Zhang Tianxi became more courageous, and rolled Rolling up his sleeves, he said loudly, "My resolution has been made. Anyone who dares to surrender will be shot!"

Fu Jian ordered Qin soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Qianliang.Several batches of troops sent by Zhang Tianxi were defeated.Zhang Tianxi had to go out of the city to fight in person, but at this time, another rebellion broke out in the city, and Zhang Tianxi hurried back to Guzang with thousands of cavalry.The former Qin army also came to the city immediately, Zhang Tianxi had to surrender to the former Qin and was sent to Chang'an.Fu Jian was quite polite to him and named him Northern Minister and Marquis of Guiyi. In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383 A.D.), the former Qin aggressively attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Zhang Tianxi participated in the Battle of Feishui as Sima Zhengnan.After the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty, Zhang Tianxi took advantage of the chaos and ran to Jiankang (now Nanjing), the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was named Doctor Jinzi Guanglu.

As the saying goes, a phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken.As a subjugated king, Zhang Tianxi's life was not easy, and he was often ridiculed and teased by the ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Zhang Tianxi's spirit was stimulated, and he was depressed all day long, and soon became skinny, fascinated, and despised by others.In his later years, Zhang Tianxi was so poor that he often ate his last meal without a second.During the reign of Long'an (397-401 A.D.), Yuan Xian, the eldest son of Kuaiji, saw that Zhang Tianxi was really pitiful, so he named him the prefect of Lujiang.During the period of Huanxuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhang Tianxi died of illness at the age of 61.
