In the fifth year of Taihe, in September, it was two quarters.

Chengdu Mansion, the festival of the embassy.

As soon as Qiu Shiliang's voice fell, he couldn't help but say, as if it had been rehearsed, the two tooth soldiers immediately knelt on both sides of the mansion door when they heard the sound, and made a posture to greet the envoy; The other two tooth soldiers immediately entered to lead the way, but waited for Qiu Shiliang to step into the threshold of the mansion, slowing down their pace, so that the two of them were always slightly behind Qiu Shiliang.

Qiu Shiliang held up the holy decree and soon approached the front hall. In the hall, Li Deyu stood in front of him with his hands crossed, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind him, and Wang Jianyan, the military supervisor, and his adjutants were also present, waiting for a long time. And Zhang Yijun is not in the hall because he has no quality.

As early as ten years ago, when Li Deyu was still serving as a squire in the military department in Chang'an, Qiu Shiliang was already famous.

This person entered the palace when Emperor Shunzong was clean and served Emperor Xianzong, who was still the crown prince at that time. Later, when Jinzi ascended the throne, Qiu Shiliangyin had assistance and Yi Dai's merits, so he relied on playing with power and rose step by step. It was only a few years before the military envoy of the foreign domain, and now he is the general of the right army of the three products of the dynasty, and he is the governor of the internal service. If there is a ranking of the power of the North Division, this person should be in the top three.

Qiu Shiliang bowed slightly to return the salute, but when he saw that Wang Jianyan, the envoy of the prison army, did not say anything to himself, he secretly hated in his heart.

"We are still talking to Wang Jianjun about the envoy, guess who will deliver the decree this time," Xu was aware of the delicate relationship between the two, Li Deyu glanced at Wang Jianyan with his spare eyes, and then fixed his eyes on Qiu Shiliang, and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that it was Qiu Gonggong's own person who came to deliver the decree, if I had known that this was the case, I would have personally led my wingmen and went straight to the door to greet him......"

"Hey, the grace of heaven is immense, they are all loyal to the saints, and no one is the same."

Qiu Shiliang didn't know that Li Deyu was reconciling the atmosphere, and after saying this slightly playful tone, the serious atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became a little less, and Li Huaishen, Wei Rong, Liu Zhan, and all the Jiedu ministers who were standing behind the Jiedu envoy were all seeing such a big pomp and circumstance as the announcement of the holy decree for the first time, and they all laughed with relief. Obviously, all the officials present were full of anticipation for the holy decree that was about to be announced.

At the end, Qiu Shiliang asked Li Deyu: "Li Jiedu, let's start?" ”

"Whoa!"

Qiu Shiliang went straight inside and stood in front of the palace gate. He raised his voice in a high-pitched voice: "Xuan-will!" ”

Hearing this, all the officials present retreated to the palace gate according to their official ranks, and knelt behind the Jiedu envoy with their hands down. Li Deyu stood in the north, and with a breath, he solemnly straightened the corner of the head and the scarf behind him, and also knelt in front of him, waiting for Qiu Shiliang to announce the holy decree.

If Wang Jianyan's presence did make the enemy's conscience unhappy, but after entering the palace, Li Deyu could be said to have done enough to welcome the envoy. is worthy of being the son of Li Jifu, the prime minister of Yuanhe, and the enemy has a conscience. In my heart, I silently admired Li Deyu a little more.

"In the fifth year of Taihe, September Gengshen, the system said: Shangshu of the Military Department of the Inspection School, Chengdu Yin, Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu Envoy, Observation and Disposal Envoy in the Guan, Li Deyu, Yunnan Fufu Envoy of the Eight Kingdoms of Xishan, the day before yesterday, Victoria Xishi, the heart to the king, the surrender of the people, the luck of the country, should be rewarded......"

When the people who heard the decree heard this, their hearts overflowed with joy.

“…… However, I have read the stories of the sages and lords of the ancient times, the former Duke of Qi Huan did not betray Cao Mo's alliance, the Duke of Jin Wen did not covet the benefits of the original, and the Marquis of Wei did not abandon the period of Yu Ren. In addition, I am respectful and wise to Emperor Muzong, and I am far-sighted. In the year of Changqing, Luo will meet the alliance, and it will be better than to repair it, and make an appointment to stop the army. It's hard for me to break the covenant ......"

When Qiu Shiliang thought of this, Li Deyu was surprised in his heart, his brows gradually locked, and the rest of the marshal's officials exchanged glances with doubts on their faces.

“…… And the territory of Tibet, thousands of miles on all sides, losing a dimensional state, it is difficult to damage its momentum. In addition, China's imperial army is trustworthy first, and the enemy is secondary. Today, if you lose your trust, you will be able to use it as a word, and it will be difficult to make up for what you have lost, and it will be difficult for you to die. It can be ordered to surrender to Xichuan and Victoria, send Xishi, and Victoria City, and return it to Tibet, in order to keep China's trustworthiness. Chin this! ”

After Qiu Shiliang's words, the entire hall was silent.

Li Deyu only felt that his brain was confused, and after listening to "Qin this", he froze in place, and his wrist arched forward trembled uncontrollably.

"Li Jiedu, take the order......"

Qiu Shiliang folded the silk and yellow silk scroll in half, and handed the holy decree to Li Deyu in front of his forehead with both hands.

Everyone seemed to react at this time, and the audience was in an uproar, and even Wang Jianyan, the envoy of the prison army, was shocked. Such a result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Deyu knelt on the ground, looked up at Qiu Shiliang, and said with great sincerity: "Tie up and send Xi to conspire, and quickly capture the heart, and the last one to surrender; And the captives are brutal, return the city, the people of Victoria are inevitable, and the saints will think twice!! ”

Seeing the shocked appearance of Li Deyu and the rest of his subordinates, Qiu Shiliang smiled secretly in his heart, but his expression remained solemn, and he said lightly: "Li Jiedu, Qiu is just a messenger, and I still hope that Li Gong...... Don't embarrass you. ”

In fact, Li Deyu knows better than anyone that no matter what, even if Li Deyu and the entire Xichuan people are reluctant, the holy decree is a holy decree after all, and it must be followed, otherwise it will inevitably be charged with treason by some people in the court.

However, the entire hall was completely shrouded in a mood of sadness and regret at this moment, and the hall fell into a terrible silence.

I don't know who sighed, it seemed to have ignited a fuse, and for a while, everyone's lamentations and curses came one after another. Judge Liu Zhan stood up and said: "Last year, the captives were still besieging Luzhou, and it was Rong who abandoned the alliance and broke the contract first, how can it be that we are betraying our trust?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Qiu Shiliang didn't expect that someone would dare to question his authority as an envoy, and glared at Liu Zhan fiercely. However, this could no longer suppress the anger accumulated in the palace, especially the emotions of the ministers who had participated in the planning of the Victorian surrender, which could erupt at any time.

Someone in the group shouted: "Victoria voluntarily surrendered, why is it treacherous?" ”

Although the marching Sima Li Huaishen knelt on the seat, pursed his lips and said nothing, his hands were also clenched into fists.

A young and vigorous soldier Cao Junjun even stood up and shouted: "This chaos is also fateful, Xichuan will not accept it!" ”

"Shut up!" Li Deyu's loud shouting only added another fire to everyone's ignited emotions.

In order to regain the lost territory, the wingmen were frightened for a whole year, for fear that the DPRK and the Xichuan Niu Party would hinder them and make the plan fail.

Everyone poured their hearts and souls into it, and everyone stayed awake for it. Finally, the surrender of Victoria was achieved, the troops were captured, and the state city that had been lost for 60 years was recovered, opening up a new battlefield for the Tang Dynasty, so that the old mountains and rivers were close at hand.

But I didn't expect it...... In the end, this will be the result.

If there is no reward, the city must be returned to the enemy, and the generals must be bound to the enemy army, and all efforts are in vain.

And Li Zhi, the former envoy of the Niu Party, even plotted to assassinate the commander, and finally let Ling Hu die unexpectedly. Niu Sidian and Li Zongmin's party in the DPRK and China are not guilty of fighting against each other, but Xichuan was accused of treachery when he recovered the lost territory.

Why?

Li Zhi is being imprisoned in Yacheng Prison at the moment, and the anger of everyone cannot burn him. And several adjutants who were once attached to the Bull Party were not so lucky, and became the target of public criticism for a while.

New hatred and old hatred are counted together!

More than a dozen marshals surrounded them and beat them up, and the situation in the palace instantly became chaotic. Qiu Shiliang was stunned by this scene. Li Deyu hurriedly called the soldiers outside the hall to forcibly pull the brawling crowd away, and after half a cup of tea, the officials in the palace calmed down a little.

Although Wang Jianyan has always had an attitude towards Victorian affairs, he is also very disgusted with Qiu Shiliang's high-minded appearance, coupled with the emotional rendering of the people around him, he also secretly did not stand up for this edict.

Qiu Shiliang settled down, for fear that the next person to be beaten would be himself, so he hurriedly spoke to comfort everyone: "It's just a return to the old days...... Duke Li lived in Xichuan for a year, and the princes helped each other, subdued the Nanban, and forced him to send my subjects; The Western Emperor is in the eyes of the sage. It's enough to leave a strong stroke, Victoria gains and losses, Seon loses his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing......"

Liu Zhan's voice trembled, "Returning the lost land that has been recovered, and binding the surrendered generals, since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties, there is no reason for this?" ”

"Enough!"

Despite the nameless fire burning in his chest, Li Deyu just lowered his eyes, shook his head slightly, locked his teeth for a long time, and then looked at Qiu Shiliang with blazing eyes, and said the following words word by word.

"Saint...... There must be a holy judgment, and if the holy decree is like this, Deyu ...... Obey the Holy Commandment, and do nothing! Subsequently, Li Deyu bowed his hand, "Minister, Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy, Li Deyu...... Command! ”
