Chapter 41: The Proclamation

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Zhenbei Generalissimo Li Yuan, guard the northern Xinjiang, drive out the barbarians........ special seal Zhenbei Generalissimo Li Yuan is the Duke of Tang Guo, and his son Li Yuanche is the son, Qin this!" However, in the middle of the month, the chamberlain of the imperial court brought the holy decree to Qizhou and read it out in public. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tang Guogong, our family congratulates you." After reading the holy decree, the little eunuch smiled and congratulated Li Yuan. "Grandpa Guo, what about the prince, why didn't you come out together to receive the order?"

"Xiao'er is still in Valenburg, because of the tight time, I am afraid he will not be able to come back today. This time it was really hard for my father-in-law, and I asked my father-in-law to rest in Qizhou for a day, and I will send someone to escort my father-in-law away tomorrow. Li Yuan looked happy, stretched out his hand and handed over a silver ticket lightly.

The little eunuch took it without a trace, glanced down at the numbers on the silver ticket, and smiled with satisfaction. It seems that the new Tang Guogong really went on the road, and it was not in vain that he ran so far. The little eunuch thought about it, so he followed Li Yuan's subordinates to rest.

"Marshal, the imperial court is clearly going to leave Gongzi in the capital as a proton." As soon as Li Yuan's guards and other inner servants and little eunuchs on the side left, they said indignantly.

"Come on, Zhao Gongzi will return to Qizhou immediately." Li Yuan's face was also gloomy, and he couldn't see the smile just now.

In the evening, Li Yuanche, who received his father's urgent call, took more than a dozen guards and galloped into Qizhou City from the direction of Warenburg.

"The little general is back, the little general is back." When the sergeants guarding the city gate saw Li Yuanche, they all shouted excitedly.

In the study room of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Yuan handed the holy decree he had just received today to his son Li Yuanche.

"Che'er, what do you think should be done about this?" Li Yuan has always valued this only son, and he doesn't want to send him to the capital as a hostage.

"Father, now that our foundation is still shallow, and the timing is not right, it is not appropriate to immediately turn against the imperial court." Li Yuanche thought about it, and now the only way to do it is to drag it out first. "We will delay until Chinese New Year's Eve before entering Beijing, when all officials will return to Beijing to report on their work, and my son will be able to show his face in front of the world's heroes when he returns to Beijing at that time, and he can also inquire more about the news."

"But on what grounds should we delay?" Li Yuan looked at his increasingly mature and stable son, and was very pleased.

The reason for this is also ready-made. First, now that the northern Xinjiang is not stable, there are often small groups of barbarians who sneak attack Jiuzhai on our border. At this time, it is also necessary for his son to bring the aftermath of Valenburg's victory to deter the barbarians. Secondly, according to the practice of our dynasty, at the beginning of the new year, His Majesty will bring hundreds of officials to the city tower to celebrate with the people. At that time, in front of the people of the world, on the occasion of the New Year, we will escort Anton Zan into Beijing, which will show the prestige of our Great Jin Dynasty. Li Yuanche bowed to his father, "I also asked my father to write to the court with this, I think the court will definitely agree." ”

"That's right," Li Yuan looked at his son, his expression even more satisfied. "It's October soon, but it's more than a month late, and no one in the DPRK will object."

Li Yuanche saw that the matter of entering Beijing had been decided, so he remembered another piece of news from Lingwu.

"Father, has the chamberlain left Qizhou?"

"No, before the matter of entering Beijing is decided, how can the father leave with a decree."

Li Yuanche understood after thinking about it, if he had no intention of entering Beijing, his father would probably execute the party who announced the decree secretly. If the imperial court investigates it in the future, it can also be inferred that the Li family did not receive this holy decree at all. Nowadays, there are small groups of barbarians in Jiuzhai in northern Xinjiang, and the two sides continue to fight on a small scale, in such a situation, it is not surprising that a few people disappeared on the way to Qizhou. Even if the court knew what to do, who would be able to prove that it was the Li family who did it?

"Father, I want to meet the little eunuch who announced the decree."

"It's late today, you have a good rest, see you tomorrow." When Li Yuan saw his son's dusty appearance, he remembered his wife who died early. He once vowed to take good care of his son at his wife's hospital bed, but now he has brought his son to the front line. That's it, when you come to the Nine Springs in the future, you can make amends to your wife.

Li Yuanche saw that his father's expression was a little sad, and he knew that his father was thinking of his mother, so he stopped talking, bowed and retreated.

Li Yuanche closed the door of the study, glanced at his father again, and then turned to leave.

...........................................................................................................

"Father-in-law, our prince has come to see you." Early in the morning, Li Yuanche came to the courtyard where the waiter was resting.

"Our family has asked for peace for the prince." When the little eunuch who announced the decree saw a young man dressed in black with a heroic face entering the door under the leadership of the little man in the courtyard, he knew that it was Li Yuanche who had arrived, so he hurriedly saluted in plain clothes.

"My father-in-law is too polite," Li Yuanche hurriedly helped up the little eunuch, "I didn't have time to rush back yesterday, and I hope my father-in-law won't be surprised." ”

"What did the prince say, the prince was loyal to the country in Valenburg, and it was too late for our family to respect him, so how dare he blame it. Even if I return to Beijing in the future, I will truthfully return in front of the saints. ”

"Then thank you father-in-law for his kind words, I specially prepared a table of wine and food in the Linglong Pavilion to make amends to my father-in-law, and I hope that my father-in-law will appreciate his face. By the way, I don't know what my father-in-law is called? ”

"Don't mention the original name of our family, after entering the palace, I was blessed with the great grace of my father-in-law and named Fuxing."

"It turned out to be Fuxing's father-in-law, father-in-law, please."

In the Linglong Pavilion, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors. Li Yuanche saw that Fuxing was a little drunk, so he casually talked about some idle things.

"Father-in-law Fuxing, I've never been to the capital, tell me about the things in the capital, and I don't know what new events have happened in the capital recently?" Li Yuanche got up and poured another glass of wine for Fuxing.

"If you want to talk about major events in the capital, there is really one thing recently." Fuxing saw that the newly baked prince of Tang Guo was so good, so he picked up the wine glass and took another sip, "At the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet not long ago, Your Majesty married the lord of our Annan County and the champion of the Cui family. ”

Here it comes! Li Yuanche saw that he finally led to the news he wanted to know, and he diligently persuaded him to drink.

"Father-in-law, how did I hear that the county lord was originally married to the Marquis of Jinghai." Li Yuanche pretended to be curious.

"I have already withdrawn from my family, and now who in the capital doesn't know, our county lord is the champion of the Cui family." This Li family is really a bun from Shanxi, and I don't even know the news from a few years ago.

"Oh, then the county lord and the Cui family are married, what should Jinghaihou do?" Li Yuanche smiled and pretended to be gossipy.

"Hehe, speaking of which, you are the right person to ask." Fuxing looked around and whispered, "I won't tell others, but our family and the prince fell in love, so I quietly told the prince." After the Marquis of Jing Hai learned of this, he had already handed the fold to the saint. ”

"Oh, I don't know what's written on that fold?" Li Yuanche casually picked up his wine glass.

"Hehe, what is on Jinghai Hou is a secret fold, and others don't know it." Fuxing deliberately sold a pass, and said a little ostentatiously, "But who is our family, our family is the godson of the chief eunuch Fuxi Gonggong of the imperial study!" There is something in this palace that our father-in-law Fuxing doesn't know! ”

"That's, who doesn't know that our father-in-law Fuxing is amazing." Li Yuanche saw that the little eunuch who was already drunk and made a mess, and poured another glass of wine for the other party.

"The Marquis of Jinghai said that he had no face to stay in Beijing and wanted to return to Shuzhong, but His Majesty had no choice but to agree." After speaking, Fuxing fell drunk on the wine table.

Jinghaihou has returned to Shuzhong! Sure enough, the news from Lingwu also said that the Jinghai Hou Mansion had closed its doors recently, and Jing Haihou himself had not shown up recently. The people in the capital are afraid that they still think that this Marquis Jinghai is because the county lord has lost face because he has married another person, and he refuses to come out to meet people. But he never thought that this Jinghai Marquis would still have such an idea, and he would take the opportunity to run back to Shuzhong.

Like the Li family in Shanxi, the Zhao family of the Marquis of Jinghai also has a lot of roots in Shu. At this time, Jinghaihou was angry on the surface and proposed to return to Shuzhong, but in fact, I am afraid that he did not have such a brief answer. Shuzhong has always lived in a corner and has become a country of its own, Jinghaihou went back at this time, it seems that this person's ambition is not small.
