14. Don't talk about it
Gao Yue took the opportunity to speak to the emperor again, and then hooked up with the Baoxishui and Weishui of Xingyuan Mansion, saying that as long as 5,000 soldiers in Fengxiang Mansion and Shence Camp were mobilized, and a section of the two could be excavated, so that a Cao Yun could also be dredged between Gyeonggi and Xingyuan.
"Okay, after that, the rice, wheat and grains that are abundant in Xingyuan Mansion and even Shannan Dongdao can be sent to Jingshi in time." The emperor said that there was no problem, and he immediately said to Gao Yue: When the two taxes arrive this year, I want to allocate 300,000 guan to rebuild Yanzhou City, 200,000 guan to build the city in Huangyuan, and another 150,000 yuan to the third year of high school, and reduce part of the Xingyuan Mansion this year for you to build a city in Fengzhou Hechi.
Then the emperor asked the next crucial question: Senior year, what do you think about the party's affairs?
"The party items in Liuhu Prefecture and other places, Tuguhun, are not afraid of the power of heaven, and it is not once that they collude with Xifan to enter the Kou, and now they accept Ma Chongying's sue and armor soldiers, and gather in the north and south of Baiyu Mountain, which is really the trouble of my Tang henchmen, according to the foolish opinion of Chen Yue, you can first suppress and appease and use, and then wait for my Tang Dynasty's defense line against Xifan is complete, you can use the city fortress, the Yellow River, and Longtu to separate Xifan from this group of party rebels, and then close the door, and completely clean up this group of rebels in Lingyan, Xiasui, Hedong, Qingzhou and Weibei!"
The emperor said that I had appointed Ma Sui to be the commander of the army.
Gao Yue said to the emperor at this time: "Ma Sui can go into battle to kill the enemy, but if you want to conquer the party, it is incapable, if Your Majesty trusts the minister, after the Xingyuan Mansion is finished, the minister is willing to drive forward for Your Majesty to suppress Baiyu Mountain." ”
"Hmph, the third year of high school, the extermination of the party is involved, involving several Fang towns, this matter cannot be done by the prime minister, what do you mean by this, is it to blackmail you into the phase?"
"The ministers can be envoys for the warp and moderation."
"In the third year of high school, you are talking nonsense, you are a little modest, so you are still a minister! In the third year of high school, you have been in the local area for too long, and you have hardly served in Taiwan Province, so it will be difficult for you to be promoted in the future, and you will have to experience in Southern Yatai Province in the future. ”
"Now that the government offices of Taiwan Province have long been corpses, Chen Yue wants to share his worries for His Majesty, and he will definitely be tied up in the Taiwan Provincial Government Office."
The emperor's tone was a little impatient, saying that in the third year of high school, do you understand the rules or not, you enter Taiwan Province as a certain minister, or half a year, or a test, I can continue to move and reuse you after going through the motions, and finally the emperor actually said directly to Gao Yue, "If you are not the prime minister in the future, I will let you go to Baiyushan, and the towns will not obey, and the court will not obey." ”
But at this time, Gao Yue's face was embarrassed and said: "It's not that the minister is selling straight, but the prime minister of the Jun family is embarrassed." ”
"Senior year, you bastard!" The emperor was furious, this Gao Yue even spat a few times in front of him, is it over?
"Your Majesty is angry, the minister is just worried about Xiao Fu and Zhang Yansheng, and he is also worried about Li Sheng and Ma Sui......" Facing the emperor's anger, Gao Yue said this sentence in a hurry.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Li Shi's face changed, he thought that he and Gao Yue were both smart people, so he hurriedly raised his hand and asked Gao Yue not to continue, "Don't say anything in the third year of high school, but you can know it." ”
Immediately, Li Shi asked Gao Yue, negotiate peace with Xifan, then Chisong Dezan promised to cede the state to my Tang family, do you think it is reliable?
"Your Majesty, what you can't get on the battlefield, can you get it by mouth? I don't know how many times the monument of the Tang and Xifan alliances has been erected, but it has never really eliminated the scourge of war, why? Since the founding of the Western Tibetan State, there is no possibility of a complete peace with our Tang Dynasty, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the two kingdoms of Wu and Yue, the enmity cannot be resolved. ”
The emperor nodded in approval, paced back and forth for two steps, pondered a few times, and made a decision: "In the third year of high school, you will enter Beijing this time, stay for a while longer, and the discussion between you and me in Zichen Hall today must not be leaked to others - immediately after Li Mi and Jia Tan came, I will discuss the peace war in Xifan, and let the three of you enter the Zichen Palace every two days to summon the right one, and there are only two topics, one is to restore the military system, and the other is how to supply the army with finance and taxation." ”
Gao Yue agreed, and then he asked the emperor: from last year to now, the White Grass Army has been guarding against autumn for many months, the soldiers have casualties and need to be settled, and the weapons also need to be repaired and repaired.
"However, the White Grass Army has made remarkable contributions this time, I feel it in my heart, and the whole army has been rewarded, after returning to this town, I promised that next year I will not let the White Grass Army prevent autumn, just let Liu Xuanzuo lead 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers, and Chen Xianqi lead 5,000 Huaining soldiers to Pingliang to prevent autumn."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yue retired.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor summoned Ma Sui and Ou Zhizan, and at the same time let Cui Hanheng and Qi Shengtuo join the pilgrimage.
"This time, you Xifan came violently, and as a result, you lost more than 10,000 soldiers, can you know the mistake, and you can know the ugliness?" At this time, the emperor, who had achieved a military victory, said such words to Ou Cheek Zan and Qi Shengtuo, and his waist was simply not too straight.
Qi Shengtuo hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying that the god Zanpu was temporarily summoning everyone to discuss virtue, and severely reprimanded Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, who sent troops without authorization.
"Your Majesty, since Xifan has known his mistakes, forgive me for the good of my uncle and nephew in the two countries, please stop the war and negotiate peace for the time being." At this time, Ma Sui took the opportunity to step forward and clenched his fists to ask for instructions, "The envoy of Xifan is here, and I am willing to use the minister as an intermediary to beg His Majesty to calm the wrath of the thunder and show mercy to him." ”
Seeing the uncertain expression on the emperor's face, Ou Qizan hurriedly glanced at Ma Sui, who understood, and said to the emperor very happily: "Xifan Zanpu Yan, as long as the two countries can re-establish an alliance, I am willing to assassinate Shi Duxiquan in Yanzhou and return Huizhou to my Tang." ”
"Oh!" Hearing this condition, the emperor immediately changed his attitude, and asked Qi Shengtuo: "You are from some cities, but this is what Zampu personally agreed?" ”
Qishengtuo naturally and Ou Cheek praise should be consistent, so he said that this is indeed the case.
The emperor was overjoyed and said to Ma Sui: "That's good, as long as you can get back Huizhou, Ma Qing will be the first credit." ”
Ma Sui was immediately grateful, and assured the emperor that the ministers would definitely promote this matter.
"Then the affairs of the alliance will be handed over to Ma Qing to be personally responsible!" The Emperor said suddenly.
Ma Sui was stunned for a moment, this alliance has always been the responsibility of the minister, "The minister is recruiting for Weibei, Xia Suiyin, and Hedong Xingying, and it is really difficult to separate as the envoy of the alliance." ”
As a result, the emperor was very kind and pleasant, and said to Ma Sui: "Don't worry, this is important to appease the party, but it is as important as the Xifan Alliance. ”
Ma Sui suddenly understood that he had been tricked by the emperor again, and then his mind turned, and he immediately paused and said that the ministers used to perform their duties in Heyang and Hedong, and rarely fought with Xifan, and they were not familiar with Fan, and Hun Shizhong was always in the Shuofang army.
"Hey, this peace agreement was made by you, Xifan should be grateful to Ma Qing, if you don't go, how can you make Xifan happy and convinced? Then you and Hun Shizhong are both allies, how about it? ”
"However, the solicitation of party items is ......"
"I have asked my servant Li Mian to go." The emperor said very simply.
