A few days passed, and the condition of Li Yu, the son of heaven, did not improve, but worsened, and Li Yu drafted a decree on the sickbed to reappoint the crown prince Li Shi as the supervisor of the country, with full authority to take charge of the government.

Secondly, Li Yu also approved the application for commendation and commendation drafted by the crown prince Li Shi, commending the main generals who made meritorious contributions in the first war to eliminate Li Lingyao.

Li Mian was promoted to the Taibao, transferred to the Duke of Yue, and then Feng Ma was the champion general, the school inspection department Shangshu, the Qing Guogong, the general Li Chongqian added the general Yunlu, the Duke of Mi County, Guo Song restored the official rank and added the title of Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, promoted to the Duke of Lingwu County, the previous four people were rewarded with 100 hectares of good land, 3,000 horses of silk, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded.

There are more than 20 people who will be rewarded in the holy decree, but Guo Song is particularly eye-catching, he was dismissed from his official position for the following crimes, and then disappeared, but he turned to shine on the battlefield of the Central Plains.

There was a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition, and the officials saw Xiangguo Chang Gon, and there was a bit of ridicule in their eyes, they had been promoted to a knighthood, and this Xiangguo couldn't get a fortune!

Chang Gon's face was pale, and he walked all the way without saying a word.

However, Guo Song himself was not happy, even if he was added to the rank of knight, he would not be able to return to Fengzhou, and his career had just started in Fengzhou, and it was abruptly stopped.

accepted the official title, he still had nothing to do, and his specific position was still not decided, which is called having an official or no position, and he could get a basic salary, but there would be no various job subsidies.

In the afternoon, Guo Song came to the East Palace and thanked the crown prince Li Shi.

In the prince's study, Li Shi invited Guo Song to sit down, and said with a smile: "It has been decided, Xue Changshi will return to Beijing in March next year to report on his work, and he will stay in the capital for about half a month, and your lifelong event should be decided." ”

Guo Song bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" ”

Li Shi nodded and said: "Although my father is seriously ill this time, he still asks to complete the commendation and commendation of the Central Plains War as soon as possible, and I can't chill the hearts of the soldiers, are you satisfied with your reward?" ”

"Wechen only made a little merit, and he gave me such a heavy reward, which really made Wechen feel uneasy, it is really unworthy of merit, His Royal Highness treats Wechen too much."

Li Shi smiled and said: "The reward given to you actually includes the compensation for the Battle of Fengzhou last year, I once told you that your merits will not be forgotten by the imperial court, and will be considered together, as a prince, how can you not be trustworthy?" ”

Guo Song sighed and said: "Your Highness knows the kindness of the encounter, and Weichen can't repay it even if he is broken, only to do his best and die!" ”

Li Shi was very satisfied with Guo Song's statement, and said with a slight smile: "In addition, your specific position will have to wait a few more months, this is the meaning of the saint, I am afraid that the situation in Hexi and Hehuang will be variable this year, and it will be decided after the situation changes, you must know in your heart, this is actually the affirmation of your ability by the saint, it is a good thing, you wait patiently for a few more months." ”

"Wechen fully understands, Wechen actually wants to use these few months to go out for a walk, and I hope His Highness will give permission!"

Li Shi pondered for a moment and said, "You can go out, but it's best to come back before the New Year, your appointment should be around the New Year." ”

"Wechen understands!"

Li Shi thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Can you ask, where are you going to go?" Also, how can I find you, in case there is any urgent matter in the imperial court, of course, there is generally nothing to do, and it will not bother. ”

Guo Song said with a smile: "The proprietor of Meishou Wine Shop in Xishi is my senior brother, this time I travel, it is arranged by him to stay, His Highness has any urgent matters, you can contact me by looking for him, if nothing else, I may enter Shu." ”

"I see, go ahead! I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Guo Song took out the gold medal of the Son of Heaven again and handed it to the prince, "Please return this gold medal to Your Highness!" ”

Li Shi looked at the gold medal and shook his head, "You can't give me this gold medal, and I can't help you hand it over, you have to hand it over to the saint yourself." ”

Guo Song hesitated and said, "But...... The Holy One is not feeling well, and it is inconvenient for me to go to the audience. ”

Li Shi smiled slightly: "Then you can put it away yourself, there are no special circumstances, and the general saint will not take back this gold medal." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, Weichen farewell!"

Guo Song bowed and withdrew from the prince's study.......

Early the next morning, Guo Song left Chang'an with two entourages and went to Bashu for a visit.

On the third day of Guo Song's departure, a shocking news reached Chang'an, nearly 1,000 people of the Hui delegation were killed in Daizhou by Zhang Guangsheng, the governor of Daizhou.

The slaughter of the Hui mission was not an accident**, but a strong backlash of the Tang Dynasty being bullied and humiliated by the Hui for a long time, the real reason for its occurrence has been difficult to verify, some people say that this is Zhang Guangsheng's unauthorized act, and some people say that this is Zhang Guangsheng's acceptance of the secret decree of the Son of Heaven An action, on the border to destroy this criminal Hui mission, some people say that this is the continuation of the power struggle within the Hui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

But in any case, this Hui mission is indeed a serious crime, bullying men and women in Chang'an for more than ten years, and on the way back to the grassland, it still continues to commit crimes, snatching property as much as they want in the states and counties along the way, raping ** women, and sending the complaint documents to Chang'an like snowflakes along the way.

Zhang Guangsheng sent people to inspect the carriages, and found that all the carriages were taken captive by young women of the Tang Dynasty, and there were thousands of them, which aroused Zhang Guangsheng's strong indignation, and he took the opportunity of the banquet to see them off, and killed all the more than 1,000 Hui people in the mission.

This news was like an earthquake in Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an ran and cheered, but there was a lot of discussion in the court, in any case, the massacre of other countries' missions was a major event, which would seriously affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui Dynasty, and even lead to a war between the two countries.

The government and the opposition debated endlessly over this matter, and for several days, the court was talking about this important matter.

But the Hui Tu Envoy ** has nothing to do with Guo Song, he has already left Chang'an and is on his way to Bashu.

Ten days later, Guo Song arrived in Chengdu.

Chengdu Mansion is the military and economic center of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the economic and political center of Bashu, the state is Chengdu County, and it is also the station of Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, with a large population, rich products, and developed commerce.

When Guo Song entered Chengdu Prefecture, he encountered the autumn harvest, and the rice fields on both sides of the official road were busy farmers, bundles of golden rice ears were loaded onto carts, and ox carts full of rice were slowly moving on the official road.

At noon that day, Guo Song finally arrived in Chengdu, they walked all morning, quite a little hungry and thirsty, Guo Song pointed to a tea shed on the side of the road and said to the two entourage: "Go and rest, eat something and then enter the city!" ”

The three of them approached the tea shed, and the man immediately greeted him with courtesy, "The three guest officers give me the horse, come in and sit down to rest, and I will serve hot tea to the three of them." ”

The two attendants took off the horse bag and followed Guo Song into the tea shed, there were seven or eight tables under the tea shed, half of them were empty, they found an empty table and sat down, the guy served three bowls of hot tea, Guo Song took a sip of hot tea and asked, "What is the good food?" ”

"The bacon rice in the small shop is the most famous, and it is accompanied by a pot of stewed hen with mountain sun, which tastes beautiful, and it is all ready-made, so you don't have to wait."

Zhao Xiu, another of Guo Song's entourage, was from Chengdu Mansion, and he whispered to Guo Song: "The bacon rice in Chengdu Mansion is good, and it is steamed with bacon, sausage and rice, which is more in line with the taste of the envoy." ”

Guo Song nodded happily, "Then come three bowls of bacon rice, a pot of stewed hen with shansun, and a few cured side dishes, it should be faster." ”

"Do you want a drink?" The small shop has authentic Jiannan Roasted Spring, which is very cheap, 30 wen a pot. ”

The authentic Jiannan Burning Spring in Chang'an costs two yuan and a pot, and the thirty Jiannan Burning Spring will not be a good thing, Guo Song shook his head, "We still have to hurry, so we don't need wine." ”

"Great! Wait a minute, the meal will be coming soon. ”

Not long after, the guy came over with a large plate, three bowls of bacon rice, snow-white rice, several large pieces of brown and translucent bacon, accompanied by onions and garlic, the smell is indeed fragrant, and there is no difference from the cured clay pot rice of later generations.

The guy brought another pot of stewed chicken and a few plates of side dishes, and the three of them were so hungry that they devoured them.

At this time, a group of cavalry surrounded a thirty-year-old official galloped from a distance, and the official pointed to the tea shed and said, "Go eat something and rest a little." ”

The soldiers turned over and dismounted, walked quickly into the tea shed, the tea shed was full at once, and the official sat at the table next to Guo Song, he glanced at Guo Song, and asked with a smile: "Gongzi is not a local, right?" ”

Guo Song was a little surprised, so he asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"There are very few locals with a figure like Gongzi, and I have never seen the jade pendant on Gongzi's waist in Chengdu Mansion."

Guo Song wore a piece of peerless mutton fat jade around his waist, don't say that Bashu doesn't have it, even Chang'an may not have a second piece, but first you have to know the goods to know the preciousness of Guo Song Peiyu.

Guo Song saw that this official was quite knowledgeable, so he nodded and smiled: "I came from Chang'an, these two are my entourage, listening to the accent of the envoy, it seems that they are also from Chang'an?" ”

The official smiled slightly: "In Xia Wei Gao, a native of Chang'an, currently serving as the judge of Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, may I ask your son's surname?" ”
