Chapter 689 Urgency
"Go, pay attention to how Liang Shuo, the secretary of the ministry, died."
During the march, Fan Wenjin looked at the servants and whispered, the people around him were naturally personally dispatched by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and among them were clever ghosts who were good at inquiring about news.
But as an envoy of a country, even if Fan Wenjin has never taken on such a heavy responsibility, he also knows that it is not enough to just inquire about the news, and he has to make friends with local magnates, which is not an easy task for him.
Fan Wenjin raised his head again and glanced at the high jade girl platform, and muttered to himself in his heart, such a thing appeared in Liangzhou, it was really against harmony......
At this time, he didn't know that not only Liang Shuo was dead, but the Great Liang Emperor Li Liang had actually gone for a long time, and a storm that swept through Hexi was brewing.
The group did not walk fast, perhaps because the prince's car passed by, and it had been arranged in advance, so there were no pedestrians on the street, but they could just take a little look at the architectural features of this northwest Xiongcheng.
As a place where many ethnic groups live, the architecture of Guzang can be described as varied, where the Western Regions and the Central Plains civilization converge, colliding with brilliant sparks, making this place full of exotic customs, but without losing the tradition of the Central Plains.
If you come here more than ten or twenty years ago, as one of the nodes to and from the Western Regions, Guzang will definitely be a place full of vitality and vitality.
But now, the war in the Central Plains is raging, extending to Liangzhou, which has long made this place lose its former color, in fact, since the big thief Bai Yusao raised his army, the Hexi Corridor in the Western Regions has been cut off, and to this day, the chaos in Guzang City is not something Fan Wenjin can imagine.
Soon after entering the city, when the crown prince Li Boyu was courteously inviting two envoys to his prince's mansion to rest, the horse's hooves were obtained, and a group of knights came to meet him.
"Report to Your Highness, it's King Wu'an who has arrived......"
The person who led the way in front came back and reported to the crown prince Li Boyuyu.
Fan Wenjin raised his sore neck and looked at it, and said in his heart, good guy, stop the prince's car on the street, and there are envoys from other countries among them, what kind of character is this? In the northwest for many years, it looks like it's still the same......
Of course, now there are more ambitious people, and even the emperor has been slaughtered a lot, what is a prince?
After a while, Fan Wenjin figured out who was blocking the way, Li Zhongyan, the king of Wu'an, Li Liang's second son, Li Boyu's younger brother, like many families, the two brothers were not very harmonious, according to Li Zhongyan's words, it was to invite the two envoys to live in his palace, which was closer to the palace.
Fan Wenjin actually wanted to figure out the relationship between the two brothers, but he didn't have enough time.
When the two brothers met, it was like an enemy meeting, and the sparks were scattered, and they quarreled without saying a word, and people grabbed the handle of the knife one after another, and some of them had already pulled out the steel knife, as if they were going to be a street fire.
The scene was so exciting that the envoy's guards were also nervous, Fan Wenjin was immediately wrapped in a circle, and Liang Shiming disappeared, probably similar to him, and they were all protected.
This is the northwest, this is Liangzhou, this is Guzang...... The fierceness and wildness of the heroes of the Northwest and their unreasonableness are vividly reflected from the nobles of the Northwest.
Fortunately, someone persuaded him, a guy with a full beard, high eyebrows and deep eyes, at first glance, he was a guy of the Western Regions race who was trying to be a peacemaker.
At this time, Fan Wenjin's guards led a man with a white cloth to Fan Wenjin's side, and the person who came didn't talk nonsense, even said: "The last general is Guan Shi, my eldest brother is the Chinese scholar Guan Jin, and the eldest brother sent me to accompany the messenger, so I can take care of it." ”
Fan Wenjin had something to say, but in the end, he only had a wry smile on his face, hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be General Guan, we haven't been in the city for a long time, and we don't know the situation in the city, so I ask General Guan for more advice." ”
It's too chaotic here, and as soon as I entered the city, so many people appeared inexplicably, and it seemed that they were all coming for the messenger, and I don't know how Li Liang, the emperor of Daliang, was acted......
The man's eyes narrowed, obviously smiling, but he simply turned around and pointed to the front and said, "Don't worry, messenger, you can't fight...... Did the tall man see it, it was Li Zhongyan, the king of Wu'an, the emperor's second son, and the Hu Chong who was talking next to him was the elder brother of An Xiuren, the head of the household department, An Xinggui, the emperor's newly sealed left and right generals...... They are all descendants of the Zhaowu clan, mongrels for no reason, and they are favored by the emperor, so they show off their might. ”
Fan Wenjin rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy, he really needs someone like this who knows the situation in Liangguo by his side, but this ...... It seems to be too straightforward, and it's hard for a cautious person to accept that.
There was still a muffled laughter from Guan Shi, "The envoy may not know that An Xinggui came from Chang'an, and he was Li Yuan's watchdog, but he came to us to be an official, and he didn't know what An's heart was." ”
Hearing this, Fan Wenjin twitched, and subconsciously looked up, it was too far away, and there were so many people, that he couldn't see what An Xinggui looked like at all.
I don't know what the purpose of this person next to him is, it's called a know-it-all word, "Liang Shangshu died violently in the mansion, and they are inseparable, Liang Shangshu offended King Wu'an, and also persuaded the emperor to kill some tribal leaders to prevent them from making trouble, which naturally greatly offended An Xiuren." ”
"Now that the emperor is sick, Liang Shangshu is also dead...... One of the two brothers holds the power of the left and right guards, the other is in charge of the lifeblood of the armies of the various tribes, and they are also the great leaders elected by many tribes, if there is no one in charge in the city, I am afraid it will be ......"
Fan Wenjin turned his brain desperately, and finally asked: "Then according to General Guan's opinion, who can be the person in charge of this in the future?" ”
The eyes of this uninvited northwest man narrowed again, but he replied slyly: "If I change places with the envoy, as long as I am not surnamed An, I can walk on the ground west of the river with peace of mind." ”
At this time, Fan Wenjin finally realized that he was afraid that he had come at the wrong time, and that a large-scale rebellion was brewing in this big northwest city, and that a lot of blood might be shed and many heads would be dropped, but I didn't know if I would become one of them.
In fact, from the point of view of the envoy, he came at the right time, and chaos often means danger, but there must also be benefits hidden in it......
It's like when they came, there was a prince who greeted him outside the city, and soon someone like this appeared in front of him, this must not be a gratuitous thing, what kind of opportunity there is, whether to dig a grave for himself or someone else to be a gravedigger, it depends on Fan Wenjin's own ability.
Fan Wenjin was obviously aware of this, such a drastic change caught him a little off guard, but under the stake of life and death, his spirit involuntarily became highly concentrated.
The first thing he thought of was that Guan Jin, the Chinese scholar, was a fellow villager of Li Rail, and was one of the important people who supported Li Rail as emperor, and it could also be heard from the words of the person next to him that Guan Jin should be Liang Shuo's line.
And Liang Shuo is respected by the crown prince Li Boyu, so Guan is ...... It's not right, if that's the case, why didn't Guan Jin talk to Li Boyu, so he secretly sent someone in.
Then Fan Wenjin thought, who are the people around Guan Jin? Is it the old subordinates when Li Liang raised the army, or someone else?
Thinking of this, Fan Wenjin felt that he should be cautious, fool this person first, and then look at the situation, but when the words were about to come out, he was held back in time.
What he thought of was that An Xinggui was from Chang'an, if this was true, then Guan Shi had a sentence that was absolutely not wrong, anyone in Guzang City could be the person in charge, but these two brothers did not succeed, so that these two brothers gained power, what would happen to the envoy of the King of Han who was fighting with Li Tang?
He didn't want to be tied up and go to Chang'an......
Therefore, Fan Wenkou's words became, "The emperor is sick, is this matter serious?" Can the disease be severe? This envoy is a little familiar with the technique of orpiment, but it can be diagnosed and treated for the emperor. ”
Guan Shi laughed very annoyingly, and his unscrupulousness also made Fan Wenjin's heart tremble.
"Don't bother the envoys, the doctors in all Liangzhou are in the palace...... Hehe, I heard that the emperor was sick and couldn't get up, and he was still shouting to go to the Jade Maiden Terrace, so that the fairy could treat him next, the envoy didn't know, the Hu Witch in the Western Regions who instigated the emperor to build the Jade Girl Platform was recommended by An Xiuren, and was finally killed by Liang Shangshu......"
Damn, Fan Wenjin couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart, Li Liang is dying? This is really bad, think about it, if Li Liang is well, these guys don't dare to make such a lot of things in the daytime.
"My eldest brother said, the situation is urgent, imminent, if you get the help of the messenger, maybe you can curb the chaos a little, otherwise...... Everyone is going to die, and there is no place to bury. ”
Guan Shi finally sighed, and continued: "When everyone started the army, they thought that they wouldn't let the bandits kill the big guys, and they always had to pick up the knife and fight with them, but now, the slave thieves that everyone feared like tigers have long since disappeared, and the eldest brother of the Li family has also become the emperor, and his grandmother's has begun to kill his own people......"
"Hehe, if the envoy wants to go to the palace to see the emperor, he can follow you, but I don't dare to go in, then let's leave it at that, and let us settle our destiny."
Fan Wenjin knew that no matter what this person said was true or not, he should make a decision, look at this way, if he delays it any longer, he may lose his life in a daze.
At this time, to be honest, Fan Wenjin had already left the task entrusted by Li Po behind and concentrated on his own life, and the motivation was indeed not very different.
He tried to straighten his emaciated body, hammered his chest, and said in a serious northwest accent: "Life and death are in the sky, wealth is in the sky, where is Guan Shilang, maybe meet me?"
Besides, I am afraid that we will disappoint Guan Shilang. ”
