Chapter Forty-Six: Chang'an, I'm Back!
On the second day after the results of the talks, Zheng Yi and Huangfuji hurriedly urged the Anzhou envoy Yuwenwen and others to return to Chang'an together, so Yuwenwen set off 'reluctantly'.
Ten Mile Pavilion outside Anlu City, it is the time for the 'Ten Mile Delivery' vulgar scene drama, Yu Wenwen in the corner and his father Yu Wenliang and brother Yu Wenming whispered.
"Erlang's trip to Chang'an must be careful." Yu Wenming is still a little relieved, the younger brother took the initiative to invite Ying as an envoy to enter Chang'an this time, although it is indeed beneficial to Anzhou, but as a brother, he still feels a little unbearable.
"Father, brother, as long as Anzhou is strong, I will be as stable as Mount Tai in Chang'an." Yuwen Wen's face showed perseverance, "Please take care of it at home." ”
"Rest assured, no one dares to be presumptuous in Anzhou." Yu Wenliang solemnly promised, he looked left and right and saw that there was no one else around him, so he whispered: "The matter of the secret discussion that day, Erlang should not be reluctant. ”
"Don't worry, father, the child will act cheaply, and everything will be done as promised."
Not wanting to attract attention, the father and son dispersed after talking for a long time, Yuwen Wen was yawning, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked up to him, and the two talked.
This time, Anzhou sent envoys to be divided into principal and deputy, the envoy was Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, and the deputy envoy was the newly retired Suizhou Assassin Shi Di Shiwen, this guy is not simple, but he has been on the history book list independently.
厍Di is a compound surname, and '厍' is a library character to remove a little above it, and the pronunciation is 'shooting', which is already a rare surname in the 21st century, and there are not many in this era.
Di Shiwen, his grandfather was Di Gan, the left prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty. His father is Wei Dijing, the general of Wuwei of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the assassin of Yanzhou. The young man studied very hard, and in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he attacked the king of Wujun and became the leading general.
Three years ago, the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong drove to Yecheng, the capital of Qi State, and the old civil and military ministers of Qi State rushed to meet the new master to ask for a good fortune, but Di Shiwen did not come out.
Yu Wenyong was quite curious when he found out, and gave him the opening of the palace with the three divisions and the history of the Suizhou assassination, so he has been in office until now.
But that's not the point, there is an attribute called "cool official", who is cruel to others and to himself, and even more ruthless to himself!
Yang Jian appointed him as the assassin of Beizhou in the Sui Dynasty, and the three sons were not full of food and stunted growth, and a son was found by him for stealing the cooking cakes in the back kitchen of the official office, and he was shackled and thrown into the prison for a few days.
He doesn't take advantage of the common people, and the servants at home don't talk about being overbearing outside, and they even hide themselves when they go out to buy vegetables, for fear that they will be punished if they are discussed and spread to the ears of the lord of Lang. He has relatives but never interacts with them, for fear that his family will pull the relationship and go away.
Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian set up a banquet in the palace to invite the ministers, drank too much and let them go to the treasury to see what to take, others desperately took good things and stuffed them into their arms, Di Shiwen held a silk cloth in each hand, and then held a horse in his mouth to finish.
Yang Jian, who was dripping blood in his heart, couldn't believe it when he saw this, and asked him if he had drunk too much, and Wei Di Shiwen said that Weichen could only take so much with one hand and one mouth, and Yang Laohan was so moved that he rewarded him with some more treasures.
Previously, the Anzhou army successfully resisted Cui Yanmu's army in Suicheng, and Suizhou Assassin Shi Di Shiwen assisted in defending the city and made great contributions.
This kind of person is naturally rejected by officialdom, so when Anzhou wanted to send someone as a deputy envoy to accompany the 'Sunset County Prince' to Chang'an for his 'adventure', his colleagues in the Governor's Office all thought of him.
Of course, the biggest consideration is that this guy is not greedy for money, his head is not a tendon, and he will not 'sell the lord for glory', and his mouth cannon skills are full of words, and he is afraid that he is evenly matched with Yang Jian, the prime minister of Zuo, and his staff, and there may be unexpected surprises.
In Yuwenwen's opinion, Di Shiwen should have a moral and clean habit, so he felt that Di Shiwen's three sons were pitiful, so he sent a cart of rice over yesterday, and now Uncle Wei Di is coming to settle the account.
"Thank you to the county for borrowing grain, and the officials will definitely return it in the future."
'What to do, what to do!' Do you think I'm paying a bribe? Also in the future? Yuwen Wen rubbed his temples and couldn't stop slandering, but he had to force a smile: "My father accumulates virtue for my wife, doesn't Si Lu hope that my father will die?" ”
The prince of Xiyang County was anxious to make his wife's stomach bigger and go out to lead the army, and the upper-level bureaucrats in Anzhou had heard about it, and Di Shiwen was instantly speechless, and his face was pale, and he was not happy to see him so resolute.
What an attitude, hey!
It is undeniable that he is selfish, and wants to attract some people as the backbone group to carry out his career in the future, and now he is trying to extend the 'clutches' to Di Shiwen in an attempt to create a "big Zhou Bao Qingtian", so he specially brushed the friendliness to send warmth by the way, but according to the situation just now, it seems that the road to recruiting talents is still very long!
There is still Xu Shao, one old and one young will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand sooner or later!
'Ten miles to send' finally came to an end, Anzhou envoy Yu Wenwen and his party followed the imperial court angel to Chang'an, starting from Anlu to the west through Yingzhou and then north to Xiangyang, specially avoiding the northern Suizhou direction route, Zheng Yi They were guarding against the battle situation in Xiangzhou in the north.
Yu Wenwen didn't say anything, along the way, he kept talking with the deputy envoy Di Shiwen to try to brush up the friendliness, but the poetry was not good at talking about a game, whether there was that level, and wanted to come to a song "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" for spiritual shock, but it seemed that the painting style was wrong.
No matter how the 'Sunset County Prince' Yuwen Wen messed around, Di Shiwen always had a paralyzed expression and couldn't get into the water, and Yuwen Wen's friendship battle failed.
Zheng Yi and Huang Fuji were nervous along the way, but whenever someone approached them, their faces were blue and their foreheads were sweating, and they didn't know how many brain cells had died along the way.
It was easy to cross the Han River and come to Fancheng to 'own territory', Zheng Yi and Huangfu Ji also ate and slept soundly, especially Zheng Yi, who didn't shake his hands when he held Yuwenwen's 'meaning'.
"Why is my brother so expensive? Brother, I'm useless. ”
Along the way, Yuwen Wen and Zheng Yi 'hooked up and became a traitor', and now they are brothers in private, and they are almost cutting off the head of the chicken and burning the yellow paper, of course, the role of Brother Kong Fang cannot be ignored.
"It's not that the little brother went to Chang'an to say that he was an envoy, but in fact he was making a mortgage, and the prime minister still had to say a few words from the old brother, right?" Zheng Yi is about the same age as his father Yu Wenliang, and Yu Wenwen is not insane, "In case the prime minister listens to the rumors and pulls the little brother to be castrated in anger, it will be true"
Zheng Yi almost didn't get angry when he heard this, this Yuwenwen is good at everything, and he is willing to spend money, but his ideas are too jumpy.
My old classmate is really going crazy, or he will cut off his head and sacrifice the flag, and you will do something! But for the sake of the tinkling copper coins, you can help!
Although he couldn't stop slandering Zheng Yi in his heart, he still patted Yu Wenwen on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, there is an old brother in the prime minister, and no one will be encouraged!" ”
"So what about the little brother's family?"
"Don't worry, how can this Angu County Duke participate in the rebellion thousands of miles away from Xiangzhou in Chang'an? Brother, I have discussed with Cui Yuanjun and went back to persuade the prime minister to focus on the overall situation. ”
To tell the truth, Zheng Yi hopes to maintain a 'friendly and cooperative relationship' with Yuwen Wen, and besides, the Xiangzhou army defeated the imperial army, and now it is difficult to control the left prime minister, Yang Jianzheng, is anxious, and he wants to stabilize Yuwen Liang in the south so that he can free up his hands to deal with Wang Qian in the west and Wei Chi Hui in the east, so that Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, is insignificant in comparison.
Yu Wenwen nodded, he didn't dare to stay with Zheng Yi for too long, and then said goodbye and left, he was not afraid that this meeting with Zheng Yi would not be satisfactory, because now this old classmate of Yang Jian is facing a 'mid-life crisis'.
He had read the historical materials and knew that Yang Jian sent Wei Xiaokuan to lead the troops with a few marching chiefs to crusade against Wei Chi Hui, and he was nervous, for fear that those general managers would be bought by Wei Chi Hui, and then when the counterinsurgency army confronted Wei Chi Xuan in the Wushe area of Wude County, Henan, those few generals really had a subtle attitude and stagnated, and Yang Jian couldn't sit still.
He decided to send a supervising army, and the first consideration was Liu Fang and Zheng Yi, who had made great contributions to his seizure of power, and were naturally regarded as henchmen among his henchmen, but Liu Fang rolled his eyes in fear of death and said that he had never led a soldier and had no skills in supervising the army.
Then I went to Zheng Yi, but the old classmate Zheng Yi was afraid of death and made an excuse that his mother was seriously ill and couldn't leave, so the boss should find another master. At that moment, the shadow area of Yang Jian's heart was unknown, but it was clear that he began to alienate Liu Fang and Zheng Yi, these two rice worms were completely unreliable!
This time it was Zheng Yi's turn to be anxious, he was easy to grab a good position under Yang Jian, but now he was in danger of being left out in the cold, and he had to find a way to save it, just when Anzhou sent someone to throw stones to ask for directions, Yang Jian couldn't ask for it, so he had to send his right-hand man to Anzhou to negotiate and stabilize the situation.
The candidate still thinks of Zheng Yi first, after all, 'the old man can't forget it', Zheng Yi also wanted to redeem the lost points, so he gritted his teeth and let it go, so he 'cried' to Anzhou.
Yuwen Wen didn't dare to stay with Zheng Yi for too long, and after a while, he said goodbye and left to return to his residence, and was greeted by the 'facial paralysis' uncle Wei Di Shiwen: "County Prince, Xia Guan has been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days."
"Si Lu is thinking that Yang Jian must have suffered a big loss over there in Xiangzhou, right?" Yu Wenwen went straight to the point.
"Exactly, otherwise the imperial court would not have compromised so much."
"That's right, so how to deal with the prime minister in Beijing this time depends on Si Lu."
"How can the county prince stay out of the matter as the main envoy? Xia Guan just said, "Wei Di Shiwen didn't finish his words, but was interrupted by Yu Wenwen:
"My father's entry into Beijing this time is just to make a mortgage, Si Lu has a heavy responsibility to help Anzhou get more benefits, my father is optimistic about you!"
Seeing Yuwen Wen's heartless appearance, Di Shiwen twisted his beard: It seems that this Xiyang County Duke is not as incompetent as the rumors?
The group went north from Fancheng to the northwest after passing through Jingzhou Prefecture Zhicheng City, and went northwest from the Qinling Ancient Road through Wuguan all the way, and finally arrived in Chang'an City in late July.
It was at this time that the envoy of Anzhou knew exactly that the imperial court had been defeated in the Battle of Yecheng, and the entourage all sighed, thinking that they had already known that this was the case, so they snatched the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion in one breath, and Yu Wenwen's face was as usual, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
I took three tasks in Beijing this time, it doesn't matter if Xiangzhou wins or loses, I have to finish the task I took on my knees!
Main Quest: Send an envoy to the capital, wait for an opportunity to escape from house arrest and return to Anlu safely after completing the negotiations.
Side quest: Save your father-in-law, Yu Chi Shun's family, especially Yu Chi Mingyue's little Lori.
Hidden Mission: Well, hehe.
He looked at the majestic and majestic Chang'an City, and shouted loudly regardless of the surprised eyes of others: "Chang'an, I'm back!" ”
