Chapter 289: Surprise

In Li Po's place, scholars have always been treated preferentially, although the scholars in these years are very unappetizing to him, but he understands better than anyone what knowledge represents.

In many cases, it works better than knives and guns.

Therefore, he did not directly cut off the head of the groveling descendant, but gave him a certain courtesy and patiently calmed the other party's emotions.

It's a very simple thing, ask the other party's origins, what kind of official position he once held among the Turks, especially if this is still a Han, then it is better to say, he is also Han.

Not to mention, their conversation is not lacking in freshness.

The descendants of the Gaochang royal family, the Han family among the Turks, all gave Li Po a sense of history coming to him, which was so wonderful that it could not even be described in words......

In the chatter-like conversation, Zhang Shujie finally calmed down.

The image of this unremarkable Sui general in his eyes gradually became vivid, very different from those irascible and cruel Turkic nobles.

First of all, this is also a Han person, of course, the title of Han people, in both the North and the South is a term that is increasingly abandoned.

Of course, this is especially evident among the Turks, many of whom have almost forgotten the mighty empire that drove the Huns out of the Wolves.

And the Great Sui in the south, although it has been trying to inherit the culture of the Han people, is not very willing to accept the side effects of this inheritance.

Therefore, the Great Sui and even those princes before it have always had a strange phenomenon, among the lower class of the people. Han and Hu are mixed, but few people are willing to generously admit that they are of Han Chinese descent.

And in the superstructure. The aristocracy prefers to intermarry with the Han people, and they also like to flaunt how long their family's clothing and etiquette have been inherited. But he wanted to say that he was ashamed, and he was ashamed to refuse and welcome him as if the bride had entered the cave room.

But most of the real Han families are gathered in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no way, the war in the north has been in turmoil for a long time, and no matter how deep the Han ethnic group is, it is inevitable that they will intermarry and integrate with the Hu people.

Only those Han people who are based in the land of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River can truly achieve pure blood.

It's a pity that this is a war of annexation that you go back and forth. It was of little use, and the reputation of a well-dressed family did not help them to win on the battlefield, and as time went on, such families became more and more conservative and stubborn.

Of course, Zhang Shujie won't think that far, he only knows now that he is also Han. It should be easier to talk, and looking at this, there is no need to worry about your life.

Secondly, this one seems to be very easy-going. At this time, the war has passed, but it is difficult for Zhang Shujie to imagine that he is such a person. led the defenders and defeated his army of 30,000. It's as if when others see him, they don't believe that he can lead tens of thousands of troops.

Well. Descendants will always find some messy reasons for themselves to comfort and suggest psychologically, so there is no need to say much about these.

At this moment, what Zhang Shujie can do is actually one thing, knowing everything and saying everything.

Although the conversation was not jerky and smooth, with Zhang Shujie's tongue, he could also explain some things clearly, but to Li Po's disappointment, he didn't gain much.

He was only sure that this victory was not worth rejoicing, and it was not even worth as much as the time he led his troops to fight hundreds of Turkic attachments.

He already smelled a strong smell of danger, but the risks always coexisted with the benefits, and they always smelled tempting.

In fact, at this time, there is no need for Li Po to think about it.

The report that came back after that should not surprise him, and there won't be too many discoveries around.

The Turks began to use their brains, which is more interesting.

Li Po believed that somewhere in the north or south, or even in the east, there would definitely be a Turkic spirit waiting for him.

The premise should be that the Hengan Zhenjun leaves Yunnei.

Such a trap is too crude, or will the Turks think that when the county town of Mayi is in danger, the army of Hengan Town will rescue the county town?

But then again, it is clear and clear, but it can't change the fact that the situation of Hengan Zhenjun this year is very bad, and the choices faced are not so many.

One is quietly waiting for the Turks to retreat, and the other is ...... I'm afraid I'll have to fight hard again.

After Li Po met Zhang Shujie, he didn't ask about other descendants, he needed to think about it quietly, and then make a judgment and decision.

At this time, he is not so anxious, the war is like this, he is not in a hurry, and every decision he makes will determine the life and death of many people, and it needs to be considered carefully.

……………………………………

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Chang'an City.

At a side door of the Tang Guogong Mansion, a man with his hair scattered and ragged clothes knocked on the door of the Tang Guogong Mansion, shouting that he was a relative of the Tang Guogong Mansion, and now he was in trouble to vote.

The janitor was very calm, and after asking a few questions, he called the person in charge.

There are naturally a lot of poor relatives in the Tang Guo Mansion, but it is rare to be so miserable, of course, not everyone can bargain here in the Tang Guo Mansion.

Every year, not to mention how other mansions are, the scoundrels sent by the Tang State Mansion to Chang'an Ling's subordinate government will not be one or two, and no one can tell whether it is true or false, and in the end they can only use the board to speak.

Today, this person looks like a liar, but he is still a relative of the Tang State Mansion.

"My name is Li Po, the word is Ding'an, I don't lie to you, that ...... That one...... Uncle once took the third lady to pass by my house, and the third lady also wanted to call me a brother, at that time she saw me well, so she gave me a dagger to defend myself, you see...... It's this ......."

The steward took it and took a look, yes, there was no need to say anything more, just this dagger was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Li Po Li Ding'an? I really haven't heard of it, but there are many relatives in the Tang State Mansion, who can say everything?

Fortunately, the third lady is in the house, and things are much simpler, and no one wants to mess around.

At this time, Li Xiuning was playing the piano in the room, and since Chai Shao came, she had been staying in the Tang State Mansion and not going anywhere.

Chai Shao came a few more times after that, and she could always find a suitable excuse to stay.

There are more and more rumors in Chang'an City that are unfavorable to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, but mixed with the news of the war outside, it is difficult to cause too many waves.

Li Xiuning also visited several mansions and talked to some close elders, but unfortunately, she was too young, and her father and brother were far away in Jindi, and she couldn't hear anything about dealing with these treacherous and cunning people in the court.

Suffice it to say, her efforts have yielded little success.

Some time ago, her father's letter arrived, but Li Xiuning read it carefully, but she didn't find anything useful, but the person who came back told her to stay in the house and not to make trouble.

In this way, Li Xiuning immediately understood what his father meant, and just waited and saw what happened.

The reason why he did not bring any oral messages, and did not write anything useful in the letters, is probably because he was afraid that something would happen on the road.

There are naturally some things that make Li Xiuning sad, but she also understands that compared with the male careers of her father and brothers, the women in Chang'an City are really nothing.

In this world, there is only one woman who can take care of her father and brother, and that is her mother Dou, but unfortunately, her mother has passed away......

At this point, the glimmer of hope that Jinyang could send someone to Chang'an to meet was also cut off.

Therefore, what she can do is quite simple, stay in the house honestly for others to watch, and strive to delay for a while longer, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

And if something really happens, these women and women in the Tang Guogong Mansion will have a tragic ending, Li Xiuning can't imagine it.

is worried, but can only pretend to be calm, this kind of torment is not a grind for a girl, but a little cruel.

Of course, for her own safety, Li Xiuning doesn't have to worry too much, the daughter of Tang Guogong, the daughter of the Dou family, and the daughter-in-law of the Chai family in the eastern capital, not everyone can move lightly, even if she is killed by the neck, few people dare to use this knife.

Undoubtedly, the current Li Sanniang is the mainstay of the Tang State Mansion, and now, what this married girl said in the mansion is more effective than anyone else.

The strength of the women of the Tang Mansion is actually quite famous in Beijing, from Li Xiuning's grandmother Dugu to his mother Dou, they were all peerless women who were famous in Chang'an.

With such a tradition, it is nothing to have another Li Sanniang, and at this time of turmoil, the people in the house have found the backbone at once.

Li Xiuning also showed the corresponding generosity and courage, these days she released some women in the mansion from the mansion, as long as the family has something to rely on in Chang'an, she is willing to go back, regardless of the master and servant, she happily let go.

As for whether these people will be affected and will not be able to escape in the future, it is not up to her to control it, it depends on whether their family has the strength to protect them when the catastrophe is approaching.

As a result, the people in the house gradually fell into the cold, and Li Xiuning also felt that the burden on his body was much lighter.

I can also read books and play the piano to relieve the pressure in my heart.

When she heard the report that a relative named Li Po and Li Ding'an came to the door, her hand on the strings immediately shook violently, and a string of noises was plucked, at this moment, her mood is difficult to describe in words.

Only when people are most helpless can they truly appreciate the preciousness of something.

So, her personal maid was almost stupid by her, only to see this graceful and elegant, respectable and amiable hostess rubbing the dagger, and the red circles in her eyes screamed quickly, and then ......

(Then in the next chapter, I will talk about the monthly pass, the monthly pass, the double monthly pass, everyone's extra monthly pass is not voted now, what are you waiting for?) (To be continued.) )
