13. The whole division stays behind
Cui Kuan's family left the capital soon after and embarked on the road to Xichuan, and before leaving, Cui Kuan explained to Gao Yue: "This mansion in Shengpingfang was originally taken care of by me for my brother, and now since my brother is going to enter the court, this mansion will be taken care of by you and Yun Shao, I'm sorry I didn't have time to buy a house for you and Yun Shao, wait for your father-in-law to come and talk about it." ”
When Cui Kuan left, Cui Ning from Xichuan was also preparing to hit the road.
In the Ming Emperor's Taoist Temple under the city of Shudu, the bamboo and wood are mao, Cui Ning and Xichuan are large and small, and bring their families into the Taoist temple courtyard, and bow to the Ming Emperor's true face in the view.
This is the palace of Tang Xuanzong Anshi Rebellion in Shu, Xuanzong changed to Taoist temple after leaving Shu, enshrined the golden statue of Xuanzong, it is "the true face of the Ming Emperor", and then after Yan Wu of Zhenshu died of illness, Cui Ning (then also called Cui Yang) and Guo Yingyi appointed by the imperial court attacked and killed each other for power (the military town at that time was divided into the military faction and the Xishan faction, the former was based in the city of Shu, with the march Sima Duji, the commander of the soldiers and horses Guo Yinggan, and the Marquis of Yu Guo Huilin as the leader, and recommended Guo Yingyi as the successor of Yan Wu; The backbone of the latter is mostly concentrated in Xishan outside Shudu, headed by Cui Ning, hoping to promote the general Wang Chongjun as the successor of Yan Wu. Later, as soon as Guo Yingyi took office, he falsely murdered Wang Chongjun, and Cui Ning and the Xishan soldiers rebelled). Because Guo Yingyi once occupied this Taoist temple as a military camp, and destroyed the "true statue of the Ming Emperor", he was morally suppressed by Cui Ning: Cui Ning said that Guo Yingyi destroyed the golden statue of the Ming Emperor, which was a rebellious act, and pulled up more than 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Xishan of Shudu to defend Xifan, invaded the Shu capital, slaughtered Guo Yingyi's family, and Guo Yingyi was killed after fleeing to Jianzhou. Later, Cui Ning successively defeated Zhang Xiancheng, the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, and the prime minister Du Hong, who was sent by the imperial court to levy it, had no choice but to win over Cui Ning, play the imperial court, and acquiesce to Cui Ning's power of the Jiedu envoy, so Cui Ning began to dominate Xichuan.
Although he gained power by rebellion, Cui Ning has been guarding Jiannan for more than ten years, resisting Xifan, and at least nominally loyal to Li Tang. Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is different from Tian Chenghei, Li Baochen, Li Zhengji and Liang Chongyi. In addition, he raised his athletes and rewarded and punished them strictly, which won the hearts of the people, and the court had to tolerate it for a long time.
After paying homage to the true face of Emperor Ming, Cui Ning, his family and the generals sat in the side hall of the Taoist temple, and set up a tent around it, and the tooth soldiers were full of armor and guards, not allowing idle people to enter.
Before Cui Ning left, of course, he would not be willing to give up the foundation of Xichuan, he wanted to leave a stake here.
Just to invite his younger brother Cui Kuan to come here to be the capital of Shu, Cui Ning felt that it was not enough.
Cui Ning sat on the edge of Hu's bed, his wife Liu lived behind a screen, but Cui Ning knelt beside a sturdy woman, wearing armor, lined with Shudi colorful brocade robes, tied with men's hair buns, Mengyu white forehead, carrying Turkic-style tower-shaped quivers on her waist, twenty-four white arrow feathers separated like a bird's screen, and with a four-stone bow, holding a root pistol, although the skin is white, but thick eyebrows and big eyes, majestic.
This is Cui Ning's concubine Ren, in the past, when Cui Ning entered the pilgrimage to see Daizong, Yang Zilin of Luzhou came to invade the Shu capital, Cui Ning's younger brother Cui Kuan repeatedly fought unfavorably, seeing that the Shu capital was about to be unprotected, and finally Ren took out his private wealth to recruit warriors, and personally put on armor to fight in the city, defeated Yang Zilin, and kept the military safe, after which Cui Ning went in and out, almost all of them had to take Ren with him.
"My sons are not successful, can you invite your son-in-law to come here to be the young Yin of Shudu?" Cui Ning faced the conscription of the imperial court and asked such a question.
After the screen, his wife Liu immediately reminded: It's too child's play, Yi Song is now supervising the imperial history of the eight products, and let him come here to be the young Yin of Shu (isn't your little thought known to the world)?
Cui Ning became distressed, because he didn't believe that his younger brother could control Xichuan - soon Li Yu's son would definitely send someone to collect Shudi.
At this time, Han Tan, the general under his command, said that he asked the marshal to station all the 5,000 elite tooth soldiers in the Xishan camp, and also moved the military treasury and armor treasury of the Shu capital city to Xishan, and appointed his henchmen to take charge, and the wealth of Shu was given priority to be used to support the tooth soldiers.
Cui Ning nodded, thinking that Han Tan was right.
Just about to agree, when he was outside to serve as the shogunate's confucius, his other son Cui Ping hurriedly walked in and whispered that the urgent report sent by the Concert House was a secret letter from my brother-in-law.
"Oh, my son-in-law's?" Although they didn't meet, most of the letters from Gao Yue and Yun Shao were Shuyi greetings, but the letters from the son-in-law at this juncture are definitely not ordinary.
Cui Ning got up, turned to the back of the screen, and read the letter with his wife, and quickly smiled, saying that my little daughter finally has some vision for choosing people. Then he walked out again, called Han Tan, Zhang Hao, Wang Shengluan, etc., and arranged it like this.
Within a few days, Cui Ning took dozens of wives and concubines, rode thousands of cars, loaded with more than 100 cars full of gold and silver silk, left the capital city of Shu, and marched to the capital Chang'an with peace of mind.
As soon as Cui Ning left, Han Tan and others would immediately hire people inside and outside the city, in the name of guarding against Xifan, increase the Xishan barriers, start to build armor warehouses and military depots, and store grain inside. At the same time, according to the suggestion in Gao Yue's secret letter, Wang Shengluan led 500 tooth soldiers to set up Changtun at the Lutoushu (here is Mianzhu Pass, the key point of the north and south of Shudu) on the Hanzhou Mountain at the northern gateway.
When Cui Ning left Xichuan, Qiao Lin and Lu Qi had already come to Yushitai to take up their posts.
Lu Qi's mind was lively, and as soon as he came, he found the pulse of Emperor Li Shi, and immediately found Gao Yue and Lu Zhen, saying that the two of you had previously played Wang Gongsu and Wang Weirong's brothers, Shao Guangchao twice, and Chang Gong on the third bullet, which can be described as heroic, and our Yushitai needs talents like you, and then immediately let Gao Yue and Lu Zhen be the embassy envoys of the procuratorate, responsible for patrolling the large and small post stations in the capital.
Then Lu Qi called the inspector of the procuratorate, Yu Yu Wenhong, and scolded him, saying that you are not young anymore, but I have never heard that you have played a person or played a single thing, and the corpse vegetarian meal is nothing more than this. Yu Wenhong trembled, but still plucked up the courage and said to Lu Qi that my son-in-law is Li Feng, the head of the Jinshi Department in the twelfth year of the Great Calendar, and is now working as a school secretary in the secretary province, and has a great future.
"It's ridiculous, then Gao Saburo is still the son-in-law of the envoy of Nishikawa Jiedu! I've never seen him look like you. Lu Qi, who was not born as a Jinshi, was furious, and immediately demoted Yuwenhong to the rank of inspector - poor Yuwenhong, an old man who has been in the imperial history platform for more than ten years, has to travel with several newcomers and run back and forth in Daming Palace every day.
"This Lu Qi is turbid and clear, but he is quite capable, and the weather of Yushitai has changed a lot after coming." Soon, the emperor praised Lu Qilai in public.
Lu Qi was secretly very proud, and he was also paying attention to the movements of the characters in the entire Yushitai, knowing that Gao Yue and Lu Zhen were the two best potential stocks.
