Chapter 51: The Turks
"It must be the Hu people from Gaochang to the Turkic area. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Jian said to himself, "Gaochang does not produce incense. However, the Turkic territory is vast, and the products are very different from the Central Plains, and from time to time there are incense into the Wei ...... Turkic, Turkic ......"
Wang Jian muttered, his face darkened inch by inch. Lu Huan also frowned. The entire Zichen Hall was enveloped in a strange tension.
The northern frontier of the Great Wei Dynasty was particularly troubled. Although the Lujia town guarded the gate of Longxi, the Turks always kept disturbing the people in the frontier, and there were constant small conflicts and small battles. Great Wei repeatedly sent troops to attack the Turks, and the Turks were weak in nine out of ten, but they could not completely destroy the Turks.
The Turks, like a thorn pierced in the tip of Da Wei's heart, are not fatal, but they scratch every moment of the day, and they can't pull it out even if they stare at it.
"What a Turkic barbarian, full of tricks!" Lu Huan suddenly shouted angrily, knelt down to Emperor Li He with a puff, and said in a fierce voice, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial! It is not a grudge in the boudoir, but a tribulation of my Great Wei State! The Turks brought alder incense into the Great Wei Dynasty, intending to let the Wang family buy it. Alder is strangely fragrant, killing two birds with one stone. First, it will cause disputes within the family and divide the pillars of our dynasty, and second, it will divert the attention of the imperial court, at that time, there will be no generals on the frontier, and the defense will be relaxed, and the Turks can take the opportunity to invade and disturb the people and plunder the land!"
The words were earth-shattering. The air in the Zichen Hall suddenly became solemn. In the dark, there was already a raging war, reflecting the blood-colored sky, burning all the officials' faces.
Originally, it was a family dispute caused by alder incense, but it suddenly escalated to a war between countries. Moreover, it is also a bright plank road between the Great Wei and the solid tumor Turks.
"Turkic barbarians, no one cares if you dare to bully me!" Emperor Li He slapped the dragon chair suddenly, and his pale face turned red with anger. He suddenly brushed his sleeves up, as if he was about to go north immediately to kill the thief, "Although the Turks are restrained by my Great Wei, it is not enough to cause a big trouble." However, the country puts the people's will and society first, and the Turks have repeatedly invaded and invaded the people in the frontiers.
Lu Huan also angrily clenched his fists and said: "Emperor Shengming! Although with the strength of the Turks, it will not cause disaster to the Central Plains. However, the tranquility of the Central Plains is people-oriented, and the tranquility of the frontier is also people-oriented. If you can't guard the 10 households on the frontier, how can you protect the 1,000 families in Chang'an! The land of the Great Wei Dynasty cannot be violated by an inch, and the people of the Great Wei Dynasty cannot be disturbed!"
A thunderous echo suddenly sounded in the Zichen Palace. The civil and military officials neatly brushed and bowed down, and the mountain shouted "my emperor Shengming". Great Wei and Turkic, a big war every ten years, and small wars every month, the courtiers were not surprised. Anyway, no matter how chaotic the frontier outside the Saiwai is, it can't alarm the Chang'an fireworks.
"The two Aiqing, since this matter has been made clear, are all tricks of Turkic barbarians. Please don't spoil state affairs for personal reasons. After the palace calmed down, Emperor Li He looked at Wang Jian and Lu Huan, and persuaded him earnestly.
"It's nature. State affairs come first. Since Wen Luan's death has nothing to do with the Lu family, wouldn't it be unreasonable for the old man to pursue it further. Offended the previous time, and invited General Lu Haihan. Wang Jian waved his hand slightly to Lu Huan, with a friendly smile, and the speed of changing his face made people dazzled.
Lu Huan snorted coldly, don't turn his head and ignore him: "State affairs first, this matter will be stopped." However, the old man also has to remind Da Sikong, don't think that the old man guards the frontier and deceives me that there is no one in the Lu family. Otherwise, even if he provokes a dog raised by the Lu family, the old man will make his life worse than death!"
Lu Huan's words seemed to be aimed at Wang Jian, but they sounded like they were aimed at everyone in the hall, but the anger in his words made the temperature of the entire Zichen Hall drop sharply. The courtiers all shrunk their necks, Wang Jian also twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and finally had to squeeze out a stiff smile: "What the general said is." ”
Emperor Li He, who was sitting on the golden luan chair, turned a blind eye and didn't seem to hear Lu Huan's words. Five surnames and seven wangs, headed by the Lu family. This sentence circulated among the people in the alley is not without origin.
As if to break the stagnant atmosphere of the Zichen Palace, Emperor Li He laughed dryly: "This matter is over, everyone is happy, and it should also be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Xiao Chengming, the lieutenant of the Zhongfu Folding, reported meritorious service and was loyal to the people, so he gave General Ru Zhongwu and encouraged him to be promising!"
"Wechen thanks the emperor for his grace. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Chengming kowtowed excitedly, thinking that he had been an official for more than ten years, without merit or fault, without promotion or depreciation, this sudden promotion was only once in a lifetime.
The ministers all pouted in disdain. Wang Jian and Lu Huan disagreed. The disputes between the five surnames and seven wangs are enough for them to be annoyed, and where can they notice the movement of a fourth-grade petty official.
Great Wei official position, division officer and lord. The officials belong to three provinces and six ministries, and they are in charge of the national government affairs in accordance with the king's will. And the lord is only a fictitious title, enjoying the rice and grain, but the favor of the emperor has no real jurisdiction. As the people of the Great Wei Dynasty joked, "The officials are busy, and the lords are idle."
Lord one to nine ranks, and General Zhongwu is the title on the fourth grade. It's not a substantive official promotion, it's just a glory of "emperor's grace", giving some false names and adding some money.
Despite this, Xiao Chengming was so surprised that he burst into tears, and people who were over half a hundred years old kept wiping the corners of their eyes. This clown-like honest appearance made the emperor and courtiers smile slightly, and their mood was inexplicably better.
"As for the Sins. Emperor Li He glanced at him casually, and then he noticed Xin Yi who was kneeling silently, "This matter has nothing to do with you. That's it. Kneel down. ”
Xin Yi was left hanging aside for a long time, and his knees were numb. However, she smiled meaningfully, quietly watching the joys and sorrows of the people in Zichen Hall like watching a play.
Eccentric. The whole thing felt to her, it was just too weird.
All the disputes were resolved in a moment, and everyone was happy, and finally it came to the Turks, and no one could complain about it. Everything went so smoothly that it was as if someone was manipulating everything behind it.
Lu Huan, Wang Jian, and Li He are all his pawns. He didn't even show his face, and he silently led to the end he wanted when he shook the Great Wei family. Seamless and flawless.
"It's stupid. It's horrible. Xin Yi let out a long sigh, and a chill swished behind him. The courtiers and the emperor are too stupid, when it comes to the family and state affairs, everyone wants to rest early, everyone is happy to win face, and they don't have the brains to think about it at all. As for the person who manipulated behind the scenes, somehow, Xin Yi's intuition felt that he and the "he" in Li Jingting's mouth were the same person.
It's terrifying, like a wolf foraging in the snowy night, and its dark eyes are already fixed on every prey. It's too mysterious, like a grass bubble in the depths of the jungle, and if you accidentally step on it, you will be swallowed up in an instant.
"Second sister. With lightning and flint, Xin Yi decisively made the next decision, "I want to be escorted by the emperor's holy decree behind closed doors." ”
Xin Fang was stunned. Although she didn't know what to do, she wouldn't be stupid enough to question it. Let the Xin family clear up their involvement in this matter early, and after that, the family was prosperous and calculated, and the Xin Mansion was poor and peaceful, and each went his own way.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter Xin Fang has something important to do. Xin Fang took a step forward on her knees and said in a clear voice.
The Zichen Hall fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Xin Fang in surprise, not understanding that everything was over, and what kind of moth was going to come out of the Xin family, who had slipped away early. Emperor Li He also raised his eyebrows in surprise and motioned for Xin Fang to continue.
