Chapter 63: The North of the North
The shock caused by the collapse of the stupa made the whole south tremble. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】
If a building were to collapse, it wouldn't shake so much, and it wouldn't be so scary. However, next to the collapsed building is Li Long, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
If something happens to the emperor, it will be the lifeblood of the entire country.
And Li Sihong, the general who is in the northern border pass, has no idea.
After coming out of the palace, this great general who was above 10,000 people under one person became an ordinary general. He holds the military power of the world - together with the emperor. At this time, the only thing that can really dominate him is the military power of Chen Ziyuan in the north.
The power in the hands of this great general, not much is his own.
Just when Ju Siliang was still on the mountain, he let his apprentice Liang Rui go down the mountain. Just when Chen Ziyuan was unconscious, and the emperor was still on his way to Fujian. Li Sihong had already taken the lead and came to the border pass in the north with all the soldiers.
It is said to be north because there is not even a place name here. The name of the soldier here is called the north.
It's cold here in winter, and in summer, it's supposed to be the coolest place in the whole Datang. This is the most comfortable season here, with pleasant flowers and birds, and the city is full of spring.
Li Sihong came here, and the general served as a bridge on weekdays, and he came here many times. This time he came to take over here with a holy decree, and the person who originally replaced Chen Ziyuan looked reluctant. Li Sihong personally explained Chen Ziyuan's current situation, and only then did he bring this military power.
Only Li Sihong knows here that the border passes in the north have long been not part of the Tang Dynasty. In a sense, this is already Chen Ziyuan's place.
The restlessness in the north comes from the ethnic minorities of the north and the small countries at the border, most of which are pitifully small. Not to mention a war with Datang, a war with the Shenwu Kingdom is a problem. That's why these small countries are upset. Datang won't pay special attention to these people, so he has been disturbed by these people. It's like a strong man with muscles all over his body, but he was hit in the swollen face by an old man.
Li Sihong came here, and there wasn't much to do about the border pass. Chen Ziyuan has already made this place orderly, and in three years, Chen Ziyuan has managed this properly and appropriately. For some reason, the small country at the border has been in the future for a long time, and this time Li Sihong came here with another task.
Li Long made it clear to him before he came, that he should investigate all the low ins about Chen Ziyuan here.
Li Sihong lay on Chen Ziyuan's bed and laughed secretly. This emperor is guarding against everyone, guarding himself, and guarding against Chen Ziyuan. Now, he wants to let the guarded himself go to see the guarded Chen Ziyuan. Simply, it's nonsense.
So these days, Li Sihong has not done anything. just sent someone to let out the wind and tell everyone that Chen Ziyuan was fine, and by the way, he would probe the wind outside.
So, sitting in the military tent, he heard the news that Ju Siliang was discovered, that the emperor had mobilized troops in Fujian, and that the prince's illness had been saved. After Chen Ziyuan's news was obtained, Li Sihong also released the news as soon as possible.
Here are all Chen Ziyuan's people, if Chen Ziyuan has any accidents, Li Sihong is afraid that he will not be able to control these people.
"I'm going to keep going like this, when will I be the head?" Li Sihong secretly sighed.
This time, the emperor's three holy decrees, the least useful, should be this Li Sihong. There was no rebellion in the north at all, and there was not a single reason for the need for the great general of the country.
It's a bit ridiculous to come here.
Li Sihong walked out of his tent, and these days, he rarely comes out.
He was in no mood to investigate Chen Ziyuan's affairs, nor was he in the mood to maintain his reputation. This is the northernmost place in Datang, there is no product, only sadness.
"Your prince Chen Ziyuan is coming back soon, I'm leaving."
Li Sihong didn't know who he was saying this sentence to, maybe it was for the group of people outside who looked at Li Sihong very strangely.
Wandering around outside, the loess is covered with a fine layer of sand. It was blown up by the wind and fascinated everyone's eyes.
"General, I've got a letter." A soldier came to Li Sihong's side, holding a letter in his hand.
"Huh?" Li Sihong was secretly curious, he came here and didn't intersect with anyone, and he could still receive a letter.
When the letter was opened, there was a sheet of white and flawless paper. In terms of the workmanship of paper alone, this is by no means issued by ordinary people. Those who can afford such paper are at least wealthy.
Holding this piece of paper, Li Sihongzai carefully read the words on it. Immediately after, he was stunned.
Before picking up the letter, Li Sihong was still curious whether it was given to Chen Ziyuan by mistake. After picking it up, I was sure that it was really for myself.
The handwriting on it is clear and clear, and there is not even a single extra ink spot in the whole article. It is clear that the person who wrote to him had a special sincerity.
What really surprised Li Sihong was the content inside.
This letter was written by Wang Chu of the Shenwu Kingdom.
In the front of the letter, Li Sihong praised all the good. This compliment did not make Li Sihong half happy, but a little nervous. There are many stories told by Chu Xiao in it, all of which Li Sihong originally thought only he knew.
It's not so much that this is a compliment to Li Sihong, but that Chu Xiao wants to use this to pressure Li Sihong.
No matter what, Li Sihong has to watch it hard.
The handwriting is neat, and it is not difficult to write things. Li Sihong did look back and forth seven or eight times, and confirmed it several times.
"This letter from Shenwu Kingdom is really just right. The distance from there to here, it seems that this Chu Xiao has long known that I am coming. Li Sihong was very surprised.
The letter told Li Sihong that Chen Ziyuan and Shenwu Guo had cooperated deeply, and they also knew about Li Sihong and Chen Ziyuan. This time, Chen Ziyuan went back and had an accident, and it was Li Long who caused it. If Li Sihong returned to the imperial city, he would also be killed, and then the emperor would find a reason to take away his military power. If you want to survive, you must hold the military power outside now and be cautious.
In the past, Li Sihong would not believe a word. But now, here's the facts. Chen Ziyuan was seriously injured after he went back, and he was indeed guarded by the emperor all the time.
"How many things do the people of this Shenwu Kingdom know..."
Li Sihong turned around and looked at him, and there were several soldiers staring at him behind him.
He suddenly timid, and many people around him were like Shenwu Guoan's eyeliner beside him.
Back at the camp, Li Sihong thought about it, picked up the oil lamp, and lit the fire.
Whether it is true or not, this letter cannot be left behind. If it is seen by others, this is the best evidence of guilt.
