Chapter 644: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
The matter went to the political affairs hall, and the result was naturally not much suspense at all, but it was only a day's work, and the conclusion had been reported to Gaozong - the political affairs hall passed the proposal of Xiao Ming, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, in a disparity ratio of six to one, and approved the vacant position of Luoyang Mansion Yin by King Luo Bin, the assassin of Gunzhou, Gaozong also had no doubts, and he was very happy to approve the play, and the Ministry immediately went through the relevant procedures, and urgently recruited Luo Bin Wang into the Eastern Capital, and a fierce political dispute came to an end, and the victory of the East Palace was obvious.
On the third day of August of the following year, the deputy governor of Hexi and the general of the left prison guard Gao Wei entered the court to report on his work, and escorted the original Tubo Zampu Dusong Mangbu and many captured Tubo magnates to arrive in the eastern capital, Emperor Dayue, personally inspected the accompanying Hexi army at Zetianmen, and accepted the surrender of Dusong Mangbu, named him the Duke of Anyi, gave a mansion and a number of fertile fields, and settled in Luoyang City to live.
After Gao Wei's debriefing, he did not return to Hexi, stayed in Beijing as a squire of the military department, and the vacancy was taken over by Li Jingye, the eldest grandson of Li Taozhi, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and the former governor of Longzhou, Ling Chong, was transferred to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to take charge of Liaodong and the original Goguryeo territory, and the vacancy was taken over by Wang Fangyi, the younger brother of the former abolished queen, and transferred the general Li Wen of Zuo Xiaowei to return to the dynasty to listen to the use, and transferred to Guangwu County to order Liu Yizhi to return to the dynasty to serve as a general secretary.
On the tenth day of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the king of Luoyang Mansion Yin Luobin who has just taken office wrote to Gaozong, saying that the catastrophe has just passed, the morale of the people needs to be boosted, and it is proposed that the polo match that should be held in the following year be held in advance.
On the third day of September, the autumn harvest has been completed, the affected states have been planted overseas because of the good seeds, all of them are abundant, the people's hearts are peaceful, they are grateful for the great virtue of the prince, they want to set up a shrine to praise virtue, the prince heard it, and the people of the world thought that they should stand, the people of dozens of states spontaneously joined the court to play, Gaozong and the Empress Wu had no comment, the prince thanked him again, and said that this merit should be headed by Lin Hu and Deng Cheng, if you want to set up a shrine, please set up two people, the people do not accept, and stand it, headed by Li Xian, Lin and Deng two people, so far, The name of the crown prince's virtue has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the legitimacy of the military queen's rule has undoubtedly been dealt a fatal blow, and the foundation has become unstable.
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, it was the Double Ninth Festival, the Persian king Belus who lived in Luoyang died depressed, and before his death, he once again called on Gaozong to send troops to help him restore the country, Gaozong once again refused his deathbed request on the grounds that the road was too far away, and only said that if there was a suitable time, he would send his eldest son Ninishi and his family back to Persia.
As soon as Chongyang passes, the sky will be cold quickly, it is not yet October, the frost has fallen, although there is no wind, but the chill in the air is already unbearable, the single robe has long been unwearable, ordinary people have already been in leather jackets, but Ming Chongyan does not mind such a little cold, still a white robe, sitting in the pavilion, holding a white child, frowning slightly staring at the chessboard in front of him, he has not been able to fall a piece for a long time, after a long silence, he shook his head dejectedly, threw the chess pieces in his hand back to the chess box, and said with a long sigh: "Brother Ge is smart, Ming admits defeat!" ”
"Brother Ming's chess strength has always been high, and the younger brother has always been willing to bow to the upper hand, and today he won a fluke streak, if it is not because the younger brother's chess strength has risen, I am afraid that Brother Ming's mind is too heavy."
Sitting opposite Ming Chongyan is an extremely young white-robed young man, but the identity is not low, it is the new martial champion Ge Gong, the current member of the Ministry of War, his demeanor is outstanding, quite talented, although he has just entered the office not long ago, but in the affairs of the Ministry of War put forward a lot of constructive improvement plans, faintly is already a rising star in the army, since the acquaintance with Ming Chongyan, each other is very fateful, sympathetic to each other, although they have not known each other for a long time, but they have a deep friendship, often play chess together for fun, talk about martial arts, today coincides with Xun holiday, The two of them, who were tired of no family, got together again, and said in the middle of the argument, Ming Chongyan, who was better at chess in the past, lost several games in a row this time, and there was almost no resistance at all.
"The times are difficult, how can I be at ease!"
Ming Chongyan has always appreciated Ge Gong's ability, and he also has the intention to pull it into the camp of the Wuhou side, but he has only been tempted a few times, but he has been cleverly changed the topic by Ge Gong, and he has never been able to know Ge Gong's true intentions.
"Heart disease must be treated with heart medicine after all, if you don't plan early, when the disease occurs in the future, when there is a landslide, Brother Ming must not ignore it."
Although Ge Gong and Ming Chongyan have a very personal relationship, once they encountered such sensitive questions in the past, they often avoided answering, but today Ge Gong didn't seem to plan to do it anymore, but mentioned something in his words.
"Oh? Ning Ming (Ge Gong's character): Is there a cure for the disease? Please also ask my brother to give me advice, I am very grateful for my brother! ”
As soon as he heard Ge Gong say this, Ming Chongyan's spirit couldn't help but perk, because he really wanted to pull Ge Gong, a rising star in the army, into the camp of the martial queen, not because of personal relations, but because of actual needs - after so many years of careful deployment of the martial arts, he has already had a strong foundation on both the civil and military roads, and there is no need to say much about the end of the article, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of talents, at least in Ming Chongyan's opinion, but the power of the military system is really unsatisfactory, Even if most of the martial arts children have been ranked as generals, but all of them are some wine bags and rice bags, bragging and making noise can be done, and they are really in battle, they are all the roles of delivering food, lacking a real general's talent, there is no doubt that this is the shortcomings of the martial arts family, and Ge Gong is young and his status is not high, but he is obviously the talent of the unified army that the martial arts camp needs most at the moment.
"Brother Ming, such a big fire pit, why do you drag your little brother to jump."
Ge Gong did not answer Ming Chongyan's question, but smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Brother Ning Ming, that's not what I said, as the saying goes: good birds choose trees and rest, today His Majesty the Emperor is holy, the Queen of Heaven is virtuous, and the prosperity of the great rule is coming, since you and I have entered the office, why not work together to participate in the grand event, and leave a name in history in the future, in order to see future generations!"
Ming Chongyan is a very intelligent person, just listened, he knew that Ge Gong's mind had a slight movement, and he refused to let go of such a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, so he added a fire to Ge Gong and painted a big cake for Ge Gong.
"That's it, that's it, it's fate, it's momentum, Ge is good friends with Brother Ming, but after all, he can't sit back and watch Brother Ming's sorrow, so he tries his best to get it, as for whether it will succeed or not, Ge doesn't dare to say anything about it."
Ming Chongyan said so emotionally, Ge Gong was obviously a little moved, but his hesitation seemed to be still there, and after being silent for a while, he let out a breath and gave a clear answer.
"Okay, good, good, Brother Ge will not regret it in the future, Qingyun is just around the corner!"
In order to dig up such a great talent as Ge Gong, these days, Ming Chongyan has worked hard, and now that his wish has finally been fulfilled, he is very happy, and as soon as he high-fives, he shouted loudly.
"The things of the future, let's talk about it in the future, if you don't deal with today's things, how can you talk about the extravagant hopes of the future, Brother Ming's wise people, there is no need for the younger brother to say, I don't know how Brother Ming plans to solve today's situation?"
Ge Gong was obviously an extremely calm person, and he was not excited by the big cake drawn by Ming Chongyan, but asked in an indifferent tone.
"I'm about to ask my brother for his wisdom."
Ming Chongyan's worries are not entirely playful, since the fight Li Xian began to exert force from overseas good breeds, the Wuhou side has been passive everywhere, losing one after another, and now, it is already a tired situation, although the strength on the surface is still superior, but it is unable to resist Li Xian's increasingly fierce offensive, if there is no change, and then the last year, the party is only afraid that it will be squeezed to the ground, at this time I heard Ge Gong point out the hidden worries, since I dare not slack off a little, change the previous excitement, and bow to Ge Gong with a straight face, He asked with a solemn face.
"If you want to plot today's things, you have to start from the beginning, I think that the root cause of today's trend is in Xianheng's mistakes for three years, you must know that the tiger is a tiger in the mountains and forests, and it falls on the flat ground, but it is also the goods that were bullied by dogs, and it was a big mistake to let the east head go to Hexi, and now the fruit is the cause of the past!" When Ge Gong said this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, only paused slightly, and then continued: "However, if there are disadvantages, it will be beneficial, as the so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat Xiao He, since it is because of the misconduct of military affairs, it should be recovered by military affairs, I don't know if Brother Ming thinks so?" ”
"Oh? Please go on, brother, Ming is shallow and it is difficult to understand. ”
Although the changes in Ge Gong's eyes were subtle, but in the eyes of Ming Chongyan and other people who were close to the grandmaster, they were clearly visible, although they were a little strange in their hearts, but they were quickly relieved, and they only thought that Ge Gong was lamenting the mistake of letting Li Xian go to Hexi when Empress Wu was going to Hexi, and he would not take it to heart, and after pondering Ge Gong's words carefully, he already had some hazy thoughts, but he didn't know what was right or wrong, but he didn't dare to say it easily, so he cautiously asked.
"It's hard to say that this matter is difficult, it's not difficult to say that it's not difficult, Brother Ming should know about the Persian prince Ninishi's visit to this court, and the article may even do more on it."
Since Ge Gong was already planning to join the camp of the Wuhou party, he would not sell more guanzi, but the stakes were very high, and he did not dare to say it too clearly, so he mentioned it with a strong hint.
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain? Okay, good strategy, Brother Ning Ming is really talented, without further ado, the elder brother will enter the palace with Ming to meet the queen of heaven! ”
Ming Chongyan is also a figure at the level of a wise man, and he is a little transparent, and under the joy, Huo Ran stood up, and was a little impatient to lead Ge Gong to meet the Empress Wu.
"The little brother is just talking nonsense, it really can't be true, if Brother Ming thinks it's feasible, it's okay to take care of himself, please forgive the little brother for not accompanying him, and leave!"
Although Ge Gong had an idea, he obviously didn't plan to go to see Empress Wu immediately, and he didn't give Ming Chongyan a chance to invite him further, so he got up and explained a sentence, and then left without looking back.
"Brother Ning Ming, Brother Ning Ming, you are ......, alas!"
As soon as he saw Ge Gong suddenly leaving, Ming Chongyan couldn't help but be stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Ge Gong was already about to turn the screen at the courtyard gate, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly snorted a few times, but Ge Gong had already made up his mind, and he had gone away in an instant, Ming Chongyan saw this, but he couldn't chase anymore, so he could only stomp his feet hatefully, and walked quickly to the front yard......
