Chapter 172: Recruiting Subordinates
Early the next morning, the news came out that the Son of Heaven suspended the autumn hunt because of illness, and the army and civil and military officials returned to Chang'an.
Immediately after the Son of Heaven Li Yu issued the second holy decree, the traitorous eunuch Yu Chaoen tried to rebel, and now he has been ambushed, and all the titles and official positions of Yu Chaoen have been removed, and his son Yu Linghui has also been dismissed from office and handed over to Dali Temple for strict trial.
At the end of this will, on the grounds that Li Miao, the king of Zheng, was immoral, he was robbed of the title of prince, demoted to the Duke of Longguo, and ordered him to reflect on the wall for three years.
The news of Yu Chaoen's ambush quickly caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and soon spread to Chang'an, Chang'an was jubilant, and there were people beating gongs and drums everywhere to celebrate the demise of the traitorous eunuchs, you must know that Yu Chaoen did a lot of evil, a few years ago to build a manor outside the city, it cost nearly 10 million yuan, in order to obtain the big wood to build a house, how many people's houses were demolished, and his thirteen fake sons were bullying men and women in Chang'an, doing all kinds of evil, and were hated by the people of Chang'an.
Now that Yu Chaoen is dead, how can he not let the people of Chang'an rejoice.
Just when the Son of Heaven and the team of civil and military officials slowly returned to Chang'an, Guo Song had already arrived in Chang'an one step ahead.
In the afternoon, Guo Song entered Chang'an City, he came directly to the Shuofang Jiedu Mansion into the Academy, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Liang Wu who was practicing swords in the courtyard, Guo Song smiled: "It seems that he has recovered well." ”
Liang Wu said angrily: "If you come back early in the morning, maybe I still have a chance to play." ”
"Polo lost?"
"We lost, we fought hard, and we still lost 4-6 to the right-back polo team, which is fifth." After speaking, Liang Wuchang let out a long sigh.
"This result is already good, don't get Longwangshu again."
"Of course we know, so even though we lost in the morning, everyone is still happy, and we will celebrate tonight, so let's join in!"
Guo Song smiled and nodded, "It should be possible!" As for Li Ji, I have something to do with him. ”
"What is Guo Gongzi looking for me?" Li Ji's voice came from behind him.
Guo Song turned around and saw Li Ji carrying a few exquisite gift boxes, so he asked with a smile: "Is this going home to give to his wife and children?" ”
Li Ji smiled and nodded, "My son is ten years old, and he has always asked me to go to Chang'an to buy him some gifts, and this time I finally came to Chang'an and let him get his wish." ”
"Does Captain Li have time? I've got something to do with you. ”
Li Ji smiled slightly, "No problem, please come with me!" ”
Guo Song smiled at Liang Wu, and followed Li Ji to the inner courtyard, Liang Wu looked at Guo Song's back strangely, he always felt that Guo Song had something to hide from him.
Li Ji's room was very simple and neat, he put the gift on the table and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk!" I'll pour you a bowl of water. ”
"Don't bother, it's just one thing."
Guo Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Does General Li know about the Anxi Jiedu Mansion?" ”
"We heard Han Chongqing talk about it, everyone thought that the Anxi Army had perished, but they didn't expect that the Anxi Army was still holding on to the Western Regions, which is extremely admirable."
Guo Song said slowly: "The Son of Heaven has appointed me as a special envoy, after the beginning of spring next year, I will lead three hundred elites to Qiuzi, is General Li interested in going with me?" ”
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked for a while: "What is the background of Guo Gongzi?" ”
"Before, I belonged to the personal warrior of the Son of Heaven, and participated in the extermination of Yu Chaoen, and now Yu Chaoen is ambushed, and my identity has also changed, I am now the general of Zhengwupin Dingyuan, the Marquis of Lingwu County, and I have been appointed as the pacification envoy of the Western Regions, and I will go to Anxi next spring."
Li Ji looked at Guo Song for a long time, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "At that time, I apologized for letting you be a small soldier of the Shuofang Army for a long time, and you were one level higher than me for a long time, but I am very strange, you have only been in Chang'an for a long time, less than half a year!" How did you do it? ”
Guo Song said lightly: "Maybe it's because I killed too many people, in Hexi, I killed Zhu Xie Weiming, in Lingwu, I burned and killed many Xue Yantuo troops, in Chang'an, I killed Li Fuguo, Tian Shenyu, and Yu Chao'an, so I talked about meritorious deeds and got mixed into a good position, but these are not important, I am more concerned about this trip to the Western Regions, do you want to go with me?" ”
"I'll go with you!"
Liang Wu, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, rushed in, raised his hand high and said, "You form three hundred elite soldiers, I will be the first to sign up, I want to go to the Western Regions in my dreams." ”
Guo Song rolled his eyes and said, "What did you come in and mix?" ”
"Blending?"
Liang Wu suddenly became anxious, "Where did I get involved?" What I said is true, going to the Western Regions has always been my dream, don't think I'm unqualified, I'm good at riding and archery, and my swordsmanship is not low, one person can kill ten people, and I am definitely the elite soldier you need. ”
Li Ji also smiled: "Liang Wu is right, he is a talent, let him go if he wants to!" ”
"I can let him go, but will his father and uncle agree? Going to the Western Regions is not a blessing, it is even dangerous, and I will not agree to him unless his family agrees. ”
"Alright! I'm going to talk to my uncle. ”
Liang Wu was in a hurry, turned around and ran out, Guo Song also wanted to explain his secret, now I'm afraid everyone knows.
Li Ji groaned and said: "I can't answer you now, I want to go home, if I want to go, I will rush back before the beginning of spring, if you haven't seen me when you set off, then you don't have to wait." ”
Guo Song knew that he was a man with a wife and children, and it was impossible for him to make a decisive decision like himself, so he nodded, "Then I'll wait for your news!" ”
.........
In the evening of the same day, Liang Yundao held a celebration banquet at Sun's Restaurant in Pingkangfang to celebrate the huge breakthrough of the Shuofang Army Polo Team in this competition and entered the top eight.
In addition to the group of polo teams, there are also officials from the Jinyuan and more than a dozen Chang'an elders from Lingzhou.
Liang Yundao raised his glass and said: "This time the Shuofang polo team can achieve good results, in addition to the team's own efforts, more importantly, the support of the Lingzhou fathers and villagers, as well as the meticulous care of the colleagues in the Academy, this is the victory of all of us, the victory belongs to everyone here, for today's good results, we have done this cup!" ”
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, Liang Yundao said with a smile: "Tonight's dishes are very rich, everyone can eat, even if they drink heartily, there is no restriction on the team members drinking." ”
The elegant room suddenly became very lively, everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, stroked the fist and guessed, and the interest was very high.
Guo Song's identity has been known to Liang Yundao, Liang Yundao out of respect, wanted to arrange him at the head of the guest seat, but Guo Song pushed him away, he still sat with the team members, next to Li Ji, on the other side should be Lin Tai, but Liang Linger grabbed the seat.
Guo Song saw that Liang Ling'er was not in a high mood, so he asked with a smile: "Is it because you didn't make it to the top four and were disappointed?" ”
"Not really! Because I'm going back in two days, I don't want to go back yet......" Liang Ling'er pouted and whispered, for fear of being heard by her father.
"It's a good thing to go back! Liang Wu said that you bought a lot of things, and you just took them back to share them with your friends. ”
"I won't share it with them! I'm going to make them red-eyed. ”
After all, Liang Ling'er was only eleven years old, and she was still a child, so she quickly forgot her troubles, she poured Guo Song a full glass of wine, and asked, "Brother Guo also promised to take me to hunt wild boars, haven't you forgotten?" ”
Guo Song was embarrassed, he had already forgotten, but he said: "How can you forget?" I remember! ”
"But..... You're going to the Western Regions, when are you coming back? ”
Guo Song's head was big for a while, how could he even know about this little girl, he couldn't help glaring at Liang Wu fiercely.
Liang Wu misunderstood, he thought that Guo Song was asking him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "My uncle agreed, I don't have to go back to Lingwu, when will I report for duty?" ”
"Are you really going?"
"Of course, you think I'm joking?"
Guo Song thought for a while and said: "You go to the Bashang military camp early tomorrow morning to find Han Chongqing, explain the situation to him clearly, he will settle you temporarily, I have to deal with some private matters tomorrow, and I will probably come over the day after tomorrow." ”
Liang Wu was overjoyed, and Guo Song comforted Liang Ling'er again, "It's only been a few months since I went to the Western Regions, and I estimate that I will come back next summer, maybe I will pass through Shuofang, and I will come to see you then." ”
Liang Linger was overjoyed, "Then we will make up our minds!" ”
Guo Song pointed to the wine glass and smiled: "If I lose my words, I will be fined three glasses of wine!" ”
"No, it's too light, you have to be fined three jars of wine."
"Good! Three altars are three altars. ”
"Still no, Brother Guo, I won't punish you for drinking, you must come to Lingzhou next summer and take me to fight wild boars!"
