Chapter 158: The two sons are in the same boat
Qin Jin suddenly discovered that the one who was standing on the horse with a smile was Gao Xianzhi, who was also the envoy of the Lu Long Festival!
In fact, he should have thought of the other party's identity a long time ago. The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya are all rotten to the bone, and the newly recruited raw melons and eggs are not the opponents of the Shenwu Army. Since the other party can turn the cavalry of the Shenwu Army around, it must be an old army with a hundred battles experience.
And in Chang'an City, the only one who can be called a veteran of a hundred battles is Gao Xianzhi and his entourage.
If it was Yang Guozhong or Chen Xuanli's people, Qin Jin would definitely have to color them and let them taste the bitterness. But in an instant, he saw an idol-like figure, and he immediately rolled off the saddle and dismounted.
"Go down to Qin Jin and meet Gao Xianggong!"
The current Gao Xianzhi has the title of prime minister of the same three grades under the Zhongshu Sect, and Qin Jin naturally wants to call him a prince.
It had been several months since Gao Xianzhi had come to Chang'an, and Qin Jin had only met him a few times in the Shuowang Dynasty, but at that time, he was far away and could not see his face clearly. At this moment, Qin Jin raised his eyes and couldn't help but secretly admire.
Compared with Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi can be called a beautiful man, and he is absolutely worthy of the words "handsome and beautiful" in the history books. It's just that the sideburns exposed under the soft feet have turned white.
Gao Xianzhi smiled, not angry because of Qin Jin's offense, and even praised it.
"The future life is terrifying, the future life is terrifying! I heard that you have a set of military training, so I specially came to observe and observe, and I don't want to throw myself into the net!"
With that, he laughed again.
This made Qin Jin embarrassed, Gao Xianzhi not only did not get half annoyed, but also excused him with humor.
"It's Meng Lang who went down and offended Yang Xianggong!"
Gao Xianzhi waved his hand, "Where, after staying in Chang'an for several months, my muscles and bones are rusty, and my mouth is about to fade out, and today I am racing with the athletes under Zhonglang General, it is really comfortable!"
Qin Jin invited Gao Xianzhi to the army to observe, but unexpectedly, Gao Xianzhi waved his hand again and said: "No need, everything that should be seen has already been seen, and the kung fu of doing it is better to keep it for the sage to see!"
Pei Jing couldn't help but feel his heart beating suddenly, and said in his heart that this Gao Xianzhi is really fast talking, and now he is in the Shenwu Army, and he can't spread it at will. If it is in the other guards, once it reaches the ears of the saint, although the saint cannot blame him for this, he will eventually be as disgusting as eating a fly, and will always find other excuses to avenge this immorality.
Qin Jin naturally knew that the goods that Gao Xianzhi was referring to were naturally the neat queue.
For a while, he was very competitive, and said: "Gao Xianggong doesn't know that the appearance of the Shenwu army is the magic weapon to win the battle, and at the beginning of Xin'an, he led 500 united soldiers to fight with a thousand rebels, and won a great victory with this!"
In this regard, Gao Xianzhi was greatly surprised, and he also knew the strength of the united soldiers, if others claimed to have won a complete victory with 500 people against a thousand rebels, then they didn't need to think about it, they must be boasting. But this Qin Jin is different, he already has a strong enough record and popularity, and there is no need to boast about the small battle of 1,500 people.
Could it be that this Qin Jin really has any way to win?
Gao Xianzhi hadn't seen the Xin'an military exercises in the past, so he naturally couldn't figure out the method of this kind of queue battle, so he said: "In this case, can Gao have a certain view?"
Qin Jin Zhengse replied: "Naturally, I am happy, but this kind of formation battle method is used by the Xin'an Army in the war, but the Shenwu Army is still in the initial stage, and there is another month of effort, this array is even the city, and the first one to go down will invite the prime minister to come and observe!"
……
Qin Jin was ordered to enter the Qinzheng Building to meet the Son of Heaven, the Qinzheng Building is on the west side of Xingqing Palace, facing a square outside the East City. Xingqing Palace has been destroyed by fire since last year, and it has not been restored until now. Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, also couldn't wait to move out of Daming Palace a few days ago and returned to Xingqing Palace, which is fragrant with flowers.
Entering the palace of Qinzheng Building, Qin Jin suddenly found that Yang Guozhong and Gao Xianzhi had already arrived one step ahead of him.
Li Longji is obviously in a very good mood, and I don't know if it is because he moved back to Xingqing Palace. When he saw Qin Jin, he smiled and pointed to the soft couch beside him and asked him to sit down.
"Today's summons for Aiqing to come to the Qinzheng Building is because I want to understand the formation and training of the new army!"
Li Longji's words made Qin Jin suddenly feel confused, even if he wanted to understand the formation and training of the new army, he could only play it alone, or present his feelings in the form of the above book, how could it be like now, like later generations, everyone was gathered together for a symposium.
Yang Guozhong was the first to reply: "The minister's right leading army guard has achieved initial results, if the saint has time, dare to come to the garrison in person and instruct the generals!"
Li Longji still responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I can go to your right leading guard to cheer up and cheer for the soldiers!"
As he spoke, he turned to Gao Xianzhi again, and asked with a smile, "How is Zuo Wuwei?"
Gao Xianzhi arched his hand and said: "Qiqi saint, Zuo Wuwei's combat strength has four or five percent of the Anxi army!"
After hearing this, Li Longji frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How can there be four or five percent? The thieves outside Tongguan must be eradicated as soon as possible, and four or five percent of the combat strength will be used, how can they go to the battlefield?"
Listening to Li Longji's approximate nagging numbers, Qin Jin lowered his head and secretly thought, I am afraid that these four or five percent of the number will be mixed with water by Gao Xianzhi, and the real combat power can have the first or two achievements of the Anxi Army.
After a while, even Li Longji himself felt bored, but fortunately, he was in a good mood today, so he didn't bother to punish Gao Xianzhi, and he turned his gaze to Qin Jin again.
"What happened to Qin Qing's Shenwu Army?"
Qin Jin didn't want to be as straightforward as Gao Xianzhi, nor did he want to be like Yang Guozhong, who only picked what Li Longji liked to hear.
"But please come to the Shenwu Army to watch the troops!"
Qin Jin's voice was loud and full of confidence. Li Longji nodded with satisfaction and said three good things in a row. Presumably he has remembered the big visit to the army last year, and the surprise and shock given to him by the Xin'an Army are still vividly remembered.
Since Qin Jin invited him to the Forbidden Garden garrison to watch the troops, it means that the Shenwu Army can already be compared with those Xin'an troops who fought their way out of the siege from the Kwantung region.
"I will go to the Shenwu Army to watch the troops on the next day, but why come to the state affairs ...... complicated"
Li Longji was only halfway through his words, and suddenly a eunuch entered the Qinzheng Building.
"Sage, General Bian sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited ...... from Tongguan"
Everyone present immediately felt tightened. The 800 miles sent by Tongguan are urgent, could it be that An Lushan has already waved his troops to Tongguan?
The smile on Li Longji's face also faded in an instant, and he took the thick military report with trembling hands, and suddenly turned his hands over and threw it in front of Yang Guozhong.
"Yang Qing, take it apart for me and read it!"
Li Longji is old and dazzled, and usually many words are recited for him. However, at this time today, letting Yang Guozhong read on his behalf may be more out of nervousness.
Yang Guozhong's hands were also trembling, and he opened the cover of the oilcloth with open water, but a sealed letterhead and a piece of parchment paper fell out of it.
He picked up the parchment first, glanced up and down, and his expression immediately became much more relaxed.
"Saint, not a military newspaper, General Bian captured a spy alive from Tongguan, found a secret letter with him, and specially presented it to the saint!"
Hearing Yang Guozhong say this, Li Longji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that it wasn't the news of the sudden outbreak of the war.
"Tell me the secret faith!"
At this time, Li Longji couldn't wait. But seeing that the seal of the secret letter had been opened, it was obvious that Bian Lingcheng had read the contents of the letter beforehand.
Yang Guozhong cleared his somewhat hoarse throat and began to recite word by word. This is actually a letter written by An Lushan, who had just become emperor, to Li Longji.
In the letter, An Lushan regarded himself as the Emperor of Dayan and greeted the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although the meaning was very humble, but in Li Longji's opinion, it was already an intolerable humiliation. Qin Jin peeked at the Son of Heaven, but saw that his body was shaking constantly, but he still had no intention of stopping.
And Yang Guozhong also felt very difficult every word, and hundreds of words seemed to have passed a long year.
"Hey, when did the thief know how to be vassal?" Yang Guozhong said in surprise suddenly.
It turned out that at the end of the letter, there was a poem attached.
"Read!"
Li Longji's voice was mechanical and cold.
"The two sons are in a boat,
Everywhere.
May words and thoughts,
Center for nourishment!
Two sons in a boat,
Fleeting.
May words and thoughts,
Spotless harmful!"
Qin Jin suddenly felt that there seemed to be floodgate water gushing out of his brain, and it seemed that a voice was telling him that the Son of Heaven was going to be angry and hysterical!
The thought just flashed, and sure enough, Li Longji angrily overturned all the melons, fruits, and desserts on the desk to the ground, and then scolded the bastard, and coughed violently uncontrollably.
Yang Guozhong was so frightened that he couldn't care about the etiquette in front of the king, straightened up and walked a few steps forward, trying to hold the Son of Heaven.
Unexpectedly, Li Longji pushed Yang Guozhong away, and the force was so great that he directly pushed him to the ground.
Yang Guozhong, who fell to the ground, was stunned in his heart, and his eyes were also full of confusion.
Qin Jin knew why Li Longji was angry, these eight sentences and four words came from the second son in the poem Shao Feng on a boat. It's about a farewell, but behind it is a story that is both absurd and tear-jerking.
Although Yang Guozhong is the prime minister, he and Li Linfu are generally people who do not learn and have no skills, so they naturally do not know the allusions.
Qin Jin is better than the original Qin Jin is a Jinshi who is familiar with poetry and books, so he is naturally familiar with this entry-level poetry classic.
The story told by the second son Chengzhou took place in the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wei Xuangong married Yi Jiang, the concubine of his father Wei Zhuanggong, and gave birth to a son. Later, this Wei Xuangong forcibly married Xuanjiang, the princess of Qi who was supposed to marry Gongzi, and reborn Gongzi.
The tragedy of the story planted the seeds when Xuan Gong **, Xuan Jiang in order to make Gongzi Shou inherit the throne of the monarch, he bought off the robbers to assassinate Gongzi anxious. And Gongzi Shou was deeply brotherly, and he was very sad when he learned about it, and he couldn't tell his mother, so he decided to die in a hurry for Gongzi.
However, Gongzi anxious did not survive because of this, and died with Gongzishou.
The two sons on a boat may be the last scene of the brothers' farewell.
Look at the Tang Dynasty emperor in front of you again......
Qin Jin's eyes even gave birth to a little sympathy.
