Volume 1: Lower Yangzhou Chapter 4: Conspiracy
Li Ke and Li Shiyi followed to the apse, where Master Xu had already changed into his official robe under the service of the servants, and stood in the corridor waiting for the arrival of the Li family's father and son.
Yu Xiu brought people to the court, signaled the Li family father and son to wait, and walked forward quickly to ask the teacher Xu Yushi, hearing Yu Xiu's report, Xu Yushi nodded casually, Yu Xiu instantly understood his teacher's intentions, and quietly retreated.
Yu Xiu walked back to the Li family father and son and bowed: "County Lieutenant Li, the teacher asked you to go over with Li Gongzi!" With that, he retreated to the door to prevent others from breaking in.
Li Ke glanced at Li Shiyi, signaled him not to speak recklessly, everything depends on his eyes, Li Shizhi nodded seriously, knowing that there is no place for him to speak on this occasion, he just needs to be a spectator to receive the order and thank him.
Li Ke was very relieved to see Li Shiyi's answer, but this is not the place to praise his son, Li Ke didn't hesitate anymore and turned around, and took Li Shizhi to Xu Yushi and saluted: "Li Ke, the county lieutenant of Changming County, Mianzhou Prefecture, Xiaguan Jiannan Province, and his son Li Shiyi, visited Ping'en County Gay Zhongshu Sect under Pingzhang Shishi, and rode straight and scattered, Xuanwei General Xu Gong!" After speaking, he bowed down and waited for Master Xu Yu's summons.
Xu Yushi listened to his own string of false titles, and was very emotional, he Yifeng was a scholar and the first in the second year, and Yifeng moved to the Huangmen Shilang and supervised the history of the country under the recommendation of his brother in four years, and it took three years to bring people to revise the "Taizong Record", and he was also named Ping'en County Male because of this merit, and he could have gone further with this merit, but because of the history of the revision of the Shenghou and Xu Chongjing, he only got the history of the two states of the relocation of the pious minister, and later his own political storage was lenient, and then he moved to the Ministry of Shangshu.
Huan Hai ups and downs for more than 40 years, only in this Kaiyuan period to get this Zhu Zi official robe, as soon as he took office in Jiannan Dao was attacked by Tubo, the front of the military village lost eight in a row, the sage was furious, and wanted to send Yao Chong Yao Xiang to come to the town, but at this time it was the most nervous time of Caoyun, Yao Chong really couldn't get out, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, secretly went to Jiannan Road to see what kind of difficulties the border army had.
Six years have passed in the first year, under the governance of the saints and the prime ministers, the country has returned to the prosperity of the Zhenguan period. Be open-minded, respect life, self-restraint, and be open-minded; It also adopted policies such as agriculture-oriented, strict economy, recuperation, cultural and educational rejuvenation, and improvement of the imperial examination system, which made the society have a stable situation; And vigorously pacify external troubles, respect the customs of the border tribes, stabilize the frontier, and have the shadow of Taizong and Gaozong.
Seeing that the empire was once again full of vitality, the monarchs of the subject countries did not dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and coincidentally sent envoys, preparing to present the title of Taizong's Tian Khan to the saint on the saint's birthday, and the Tubo country also followed this opportunity to give the saint an ugly look, thinking of this, Xu Yushi sighed in his heart, the state affairs are difficult, and he still needs to run around.
Master Xu Yuan straightened up again, walked up to Li Ke and helped him up, and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Li is polite, County Lieutenant Li is the queen of the clan, and he has tormented the old man!" ”
Li Ke immediately replied: "Xu Gong is the left minister, he is highly respected, and he is under Xu Gong in terms of official position and seniority, how dare he Meng Lang in front of Xu Gong, Xu Gong's family has prepared wine and food, and officials at all levels in Shuzhong are also gathering in Changming, just waiting for the old man to review, and please move to Mianzhou after the rain stops!! ”
After listening to this, Master Xu praised and said: "County Lieutenant Li thought very thoroughly, so he acted according to County Lieutenant Li's arrangement!" ”
"Xiaguan will send someone to prepare!!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Li Shizhi behind him, Li Shizhi comprehended, immediately bowed to Master Xu Yu, turned around and walked towards the main hall, Yu Xiu also went out with Li Shiyi, and let the disciples of the Xu family accompany him prepare to salute, and the rain stopped.
Li Shiyi walked out of the apse quickly, found the housekeeper Li Fu who came with his father, and instructed: "Uncle Li, my father asked you to prepare the horses, and vacate two more carriages for Xu Xiang to ride, and set off back to Changming immediately after the rain stopped!! ”
Li Fu nodded and replied: "Okay young master, I'll do it right away, when I come out of the house, the master will let me prepare the carriage and extra horses, and now it will come in handy!" After saying that, Li Fu turned around and walked out.
Li Shizhi did not return to the apse, to be honest, Li Shizhi was a little afraid of this Xu Xiang, and always felt that all his actions could not escape his eyes, besides, his father meant to let himself go out, that is, to leave space for the two to talk alone, this bit of vision saw that Li Shizhi still had it, didn't he see that Yu Xiu, the eldest disciple of Master Xu, did not return to the apse after arranging the luggage? ?
Master Xu looked at Li Ke and thought for a long time before he spoke: "You have received the letter from Da Zongzheng!" ”
Li Ke bowed down and replied: "Back to Xu Gong, the letter from Zongzheng Temple, Xiaguan has received it, after receiving the letter, Xiaguan immediately started the Shuo Rat in Tubo, and has already contacted the great tyrant Gabu Jindan in western Tibet, as long as the imperial court's reward edict arrives, Gabu Jindan will definitely raise troops to attack Gayu, and then the Tubo coalition army will collapse immediately!" ”
"Gabu Jindan dares to disobey the king's order of Chidusong and attack the fiefdom of the Lu Dongzan family for the sake of a mere name??" Master Xu asked curiously.
Li Ke immediately replied to Xu Yuanshi: "Xu Gong didn't know, in the third year of Longshuo, Tubo was completely destroyed Tuyuhun, and Murong Nuo, the king of Heyuan County, and Princess Honghua led the remnants to Liangzhou, so that most of the plateau was under the rule of Tubo, and there was no longer a regime to compete with it, and since then Gardongzan has been living in Tuyuhun's hometown, appeasing the old Tuyuhun department, dealing with the aftermath, in the first year of Qianfeng, Gardongzan returned to Luoshu City from Tuyuhun's hometown, unfortunately contracted on the way, and in the second year of Qianfeng, Gardongzan died of illness in Tuyuhun's Ribu, After the death of Gardongzan, his son Non Qinling successively served as the prime minister, continued to control the power and military power of Tubo, and his prestige in Tubo even surpassed the current Zampu clan, and Gabu Jindan was a supporter of Chidu Song, and Chi Du Song has always had the intention of removing the Qin Ling to unify the plateau, so the lower officials judged that Gabu Jindan's march into Gayu was not his own idea, but Chidu Song's!! ”
"Yidi has a king, it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia, so afraid of power and not virtuous, since this is the case, let's do what Lieutenant Li said!!" Xu Yushi said with emotion.
Li Ke immediately replied: "The lower official received the order, and this matter still depends on Xu Gong's planning, and the lower official is just running errands!! ”
Listening to Li Ke's sycophancy, Xu Yushi waved his hand and said: "County Lieutenant Li should not compliment the old man, after the matter is completed, the saint, the court will reward both you and me, so this matter can only succeed, not failure, as long as Gabu Jindan makes a move here, the army of Zuo Wuwei in Liangzhou will immediately go out to attack Tuyuhun and drive the Tubo people out!" ”
"Xiaguan understands that after arriving in Changming, Xiaguan immediately sent someone to provoke the relationship between the Tubo monarch and the minister, so as to create a good opportunity for Zuo Wuwei's army!!" Li Ke replied.
