Chapter 161: Jiannan Matters
Jiannan has entered April, although it is not summer, but due to the terrain, April has been comparable to the temperature in July and August in the south of the Yangtze River. The scorching hot weather www.biquge.info make all walks of life have to deal with it, take Yizhou as an example, those officials and wealthy businessmen have no idea of dealing with official business or finances in this weather, and most of them gather in other houses outside Yizhou to escape the summer.
However, Zhang Yu Jianqiong and Xian Yu Zhongtong, who were the envoys of Jiannan Festival and Jiannan Dao, did not have such a good intention to go on summer vacation, and the mountains of official documents and military newspapers filled the study of these two. Although Jiannan Province did not face the war, it also belonged to the border with Tibet, so all kinds of news about the movement in Tibet came one after another, and the two had no time to leave.
In addition, there are many changes in the court nowadays, and the two of them dare not run to enjoy themselves at such a time and leave others behind. In August of last year, Gai Jiayun led the Tang army and the troops of the Shi king Mohe Tutun and the Shi king Si Jinti to assist Mohe Dagan of the Mukun Department to launch an attack on Broken Leaves, and the Tuhuoxian Khan sent troops to meet him, but after being defeated, he fled and was captured in Heluo Ridge. After that, Gai Jiayun sent Shule town guard envoy Meng Lingcha and Bakhana king Asilandagan to send troops to attack Hengros City, capture the black surname Khan Erweitler alive, and take advantage of the situation to occupy the city of Lujian, capture the princess of Jinhe, and hand over all the captured tens of thousands of people to Bakhana king Asilandagan. After this battle, the Tang army shook the west and swept away the decline of the Tang army at the border for many years. In September of the same year, the Western Regions of the Western Regions, which were originally subordinate to the Turgish Khanate, such as Mukun, Ratnishi, and Gongyue, all led their people to join the country, and still invited them to migrate to the territory of the Anxi Protectorate, so far, the Western Regions have temporarily returned to the calm of the past.
Last month, Gai Jiayun was captured in Chang'an, and Emperor Xuanzong entertained Gai Jiayun with a banquet in the Yuhuayue Tower, and then pardoned the Fire Immortal Khan without sin, and appointed him as the general of Zuo Jinwu's guards and the king of Xiuyi. He also promoted Mohe Dagan as the general of Youxiaowei, canonized the stone king Mohe Tutun as the king of Shunyi, and crowned the king of history Si Jinti as a special jin. After that, Gai Jiayun asked Ashina Huaidao's son Ashina to be the wife of the ten Western Turkic Khans Ashina as the princess of Jiaohe, and Emperor Xuanzong accepted the invitation.
At the same time, Gai Jiayun was renamed Hexi, the envoy of the two towns of Longyou, with 150,000 mercenaries, responsible for passing through Tibet, but he was proud of his repeated side merits, indulged in wine, did not think about defense, and repeatedly delayed the time to take office, so he was impeached by Pei Yaoqing, one of the left ministers of the political affairs hall, a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, Tubo took advantage of the temporary leaderlessness of the dragons in Longyou, Hexi, and began to make abnormal moves, and even occupied the Dafeichuan and Jiuqu regions one after another, and Tugu Hun led the people to annex. What's more, I heard that the Demon Sect of the Western Regions had openly passed through Stone Castle City to the Central Plains under the leadership of a master, putting everyone in the border area in danger.
Unlike Zhang Yu Jianqiong, who was busy dealing with military affairs, Xian Yu Zhongtong was not in a hurry to deal with his mountain of government affairs at the moment, but had been carefully examining the note in his hand that had just been sent to him, which was the information sent by the spies he had planted in the Jiangnan and Jiannan areas. It pointed out that a few weeks ago, people from the Xiuzhen world gathered in Yuanzhou one after another, and went to other realms to know what they were plotting, and Cheng Ye Saburo also appeared in Yuanzhou in the imperial history, which attracted hundreds of three sects and nine streams present to join him one after another, chanting his name, which was very terrifying. A few days later, two cities suddenly appeared near Yuanzhou, and Ye Sanlang disappeared after dismissing those three sects and nine streams, and according to rumors, it was very likely that he had gone to Jiannan.
This news couldn't help but give him a headache, although Qiong Yu had already cut off relations with the Xian Yu family, but after all, it was his own sister, in order to take care of their family, he even followed him to Chang'an to stay there for a while. To some extent, Ye Saburo can also be regarded as his own nephew. Someone in the family secretly came to report yesterday that the second young master Fudong and unknown people have been drinking until dawn, in the current situation, it is not difficult for him to guess who it is, back then Yu Fudong and Ye Saburo were like brothers, and now it is reasonable for Ye Saburo to turn to Fudong in order to deal with the Ye family.
However, this confirms the emperor's attitude towards the Ye family in a way, about the Ye family, he has also heard about it over the years, the Ye family's wealth accumulation is a little fast, he also knows that the Ye family has something unsightly behind his back, but he didn't expect that Ye Sanlang wanted to attack the Ye family now, this matter is simply ironic.
And the Ye family has been rooted here for many years, with deep wealth and great power, it is difficult to compete with Ye Saburo alone, maybe Xian Yujia's attitude in this matter will change the trend of Xian Yujia in the future. And Ye Saburo is his own nephew, no matter how reasonable it is, he is duty-bound.
It was also at this time that there was sudden news that Li Yuan, the second son of Li Linfu of the current Xiangguo, suddenly appeared in Yizhou, and then rested in the other house of a certain magnates, because it caused a lot of shock.
Who is Li Linfu? Today's Tang Dynasty is the right minister of the world, is a big official who really holds great power, and not only that, the current Li Linfu can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people, because the ruling pen has been in his hands, so the emperor's folds whether it is handed from the bottom to the top, or the emperor's holy decree, when passing through the political hall, it can be said that in addition to the emperor, he is the only one who has so much power, plus his disciples are all over the world, so its party is huge, and it is called the Xiangguo Party by outsiders, and ** Fight in the court. And because the new crown prince Li Heng does not seem to be favored, he is restricted by Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji everywhere, resulting in the current crown prince being weak and weak, and the East Palace is equivalent to being in name only, allowing Li Linfu to become bigger.
It is precisely for this reason that many local officials have been thinking of ways to stammer with Li Linfu, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit Li Linfu when they go to Beijing at the beginning of each year to report on their work, and at the same time offer gold, silver, jewelry or rare treasures, hoping to win a few good words from Li Linfu in front of the emperor, so that they can make their official fortunes prosperous.
However, Li Linfu is not a money-loving person, and he will not meet anyone, which also leads to a very high threshold for wanting to see Li Linfu, if it is not for a giant or a high-ranking official in the state and county, or some of his distant relatives and friends, he will not be able to see Li Linfu at all.
I heard that his second son Li Yuan suddenly came to Jiannan, so many people started to think, although Li Linfu dotes on his eldest son, but he also attaches great importance to his second son Li Yuan, plus Li Yuan is studious on weekdays, extremely talented, and can speak well, so I am afraid that in the future, Li Linfu's fortune will be able to be a half-official. In other words, if Li Yuan is coaxed, he will be able to get closer to Li Linfu, and I am afraid that many people have this kind of mind at the moment.
There are even good people who guessed the purpose of Li Yuan's visit to Jiannan this time, a few months ago, Li Jin, who was originally the idle king of the prince's line and the assassin of Yizhou, was suddenly renamed the king of Yongping, and after obtaining the consent of Emperor Xuanzong, he was ready to move his family back to Chang'an, but his daughter Xiping County Lord had not yet gone to Chang'an together, but stayed in Yizhou. According to rumors, this was due to the fear of the crown prince Li Heng attacking him, so although Li Jin had been in Beijing for many days, his daughter had stayed in Yizhou. It is rumored that Li Linfu helped Li Jin, a big reason is that he wants to fulfill the matter of his second son Li Yuan and the county lord of Xiping, but the county lord of Xiping stayed in Yizhou for a day, maybe Li Yuan was already impatient, so he came to Yizhou in person.
