14. Cui Yunshao transferred the letter

The so-called bereavement monument is that Tian Xu now wants to sing the praises of his dead father, that is, Tian Chenghei, and strengthen the legitimacy of his own rule in the feudal town, after all, I am the captain of the Tang Dynasty and the brother-in-law of today.

However, Lu Zhen has never written an inscription to anyone from the time he entered the Hanlin Academy until he became the prime minister, because he thought that the inscription had always been full of praise for the deceased, and he was not happy to do it in his heart, let alone write an inscription for a chaotic minister and thief like Tian Chenghe.

The emperor repeatedly asked very earnestly, Lu Jiu, you are considered a Hainei Wenzong, and you will write it, so that I can feel at ease, and Tian Xu must be happy: "I know that you despise the Wei Botian clan, but in order to stabilize the situation of the country, please aggrieve yourself a little." ”

It's easy to say, but in the end, Lu Zhen had no choice but to agree.

The emperor was overjoyed, and correspondingly, he also made a promise to Lu Zhen: when the Helong war is over, I will put the abolition of Daying Qionglin Ku on the agenda, so that the ministers of the Manchu court can come to brainstorm and discuss openly.

Lu Zhen, who returned to his own house, was very entangled, pacing back and forth in the simple courtyard for a long time, and finally sighed a long time, called the servant, and said that you go and send a message to the Xuanpingfang mansion.

The servant was a little surprised, and said that Ji Gong is now in Victoria!

"Then give it to the Duchess of Ji, and it will be the same for her to hand it over."

When the moon was on the branches, and the residual snow on the window screen was illuminated, Lu Zhen's servant was holding a letter and was already standing in the courtyard of the inn of the high house. ”

Yun Shao was talking with Ah Mei Yunhe in the small pavilion of the main bedroom, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Lu Zhen would actually have a letter in private, this is not like Lu Zhen's style of acting.

"Maybe there is something embarrassing, I want to say it to Qingqing......" Yun Shao was very sensible this time, she understood that she was just an intermediary, so she didn't open the letter, but said to Zhihui, "Tomorrow, you go to Chongrenfang Xingyuan Jinjuan Academy, ask the guards to find four foot officers, and send them to Victoria." ”

Soon, Wei Bo's Tian Xu knew that he could not only erect a monument to his deceased father, but also that the court also promised to be written by Lu Zhen, a servant of the court's subordinates and a generous writer, so he couldn't help but be very happy, so he said to his wife, Princess Jiacheng: "The Son of Heaven finally didn't regard me Wei Bo as an outsider. ”

Princess Jiacheng also took the opportunity to persuade her husband: "In the past, Heshuo and the imperial court turned against each other, all of which were caused by Tian Yue's coercion of Sergeant Wei Bo's rebellion, but now the husband and the Son of Heaven are in the same family, and they should be martial arts and cultivators, so they can protect their family business." ”

Tian Xu nodded, but his brows immediately locked again, and he expressed his worries to the princess: "Xu is a vulgar and unwritten character, and the article of the prime minister Lu Jiu is heard to be written with flowers, and sometimes the Son of Heaven may not be able to appreciate it, and Xu also knows that the pen of the scribes is powerful, that is, killing people without seeing blood, so Xu is afraid, Lu Jiu looks down on me Wei Botian, if he secretly scolds my father or me in the inscription, isn't it self-defeating and laughing at the world?" ”

Princess Jiacheng laughed, she is the baby daughter of Emperor Daizong, when she got married, the emperor was also her brother in Wangchun Pavilion to practice goodbye, because she played a small pampered and pampered, and was not used to sitting in the Zhai car, the emperor personally gave her the "golden root car" that the Son of Heaven rode to give her to marry: before getting married, Princess Jiacheng also knew from the palace that this Tian Xu was a jackal-like figure, and he made the seat by killing his cousin Tian Yue's whole family, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty no longer wanted to marry a military family, she was similar to the next generation of Lingxu and Yiyang, They all want to marry Jinshi.

But after arriving in Weibo Town, although this Tian Xu really has no culture, he is actually very good to her, basically obeys everything she says, and spends a lot of money to build a palace garden for her to live in, and also dismisses the concubines and prostitutes she hired before, so in the past five or six years, Wei Bo and the court have generally been peaceful.

So of course, the princess hopes that this situation can be maintained, which is also the purpose of her marrying far away to Heshuo, "Scribes, the most important thing is the word confidant." The husband may wish to spend a lot of money, let the envoy go to the capital, humble and polite, and ask Prime Minister Lu Jiu to say a few good words for Ah Weng in the inscription, if it is inconvenient for you to say, the concubine will say. ”

Tian Xu was overjoyed, and immediately called Liu Zhan, the tooth general, and said to him that you are also a well-read person in our Weibo, and immediately go to Chang'an City with 100,000 yuan of goods, and be sure to see Lu Xianggong and convey the meaning of the princess.

So Liu Zhan was ordered to set off west.

At that time, whether it was Tian Xu, Princess Jiacheng, or even the emperor of Daming Palace, they all thought that Wei Bojiedu gave Lu Zhen a 100,000 yuan pen, hoping that Lu Zhen would write the inscription beautifully, which can be regarded as the most conventional operation.

Unexpectedly, this is the beginning of a new maelstrom.

Under the snowy ridge of Sanssouci City, Victoria, Gao Yue, whose beard had become scummy, was dressed in a blue-gray robe, and unfolded Lu Zhen's letter in front of the fire, and his face was full of incredulity after reading it, "Respect for the public and respect for the public, why are you so stubborn?" Personal decency should not be put above the interests of the whole country! ”

Alas, this person is essentially the same as that Zheng Qi's personality.

I didn't expect the people of Wu Di to speak softly and pleasantly, but they were very stubborn in their bones.

No, it's not the same, at least when Zheng Qi was in Yunnan, he didn't kill the Xifan delegation so pedantic.

Then Gao Yue stood up, shook off the snow on his coat, thought about it, and called Wei Daotian, the personal trilogy, and said to him, You go to Wuzhou City, let Li Feng come to see you, and tell him my words.

After Wei Daotian left, Gao Yue looked at the Chongyong Gaoqian in Sanssouci City, and the boundless snow ridges on both sides, and saw that the soldiers in the camp were living a hard and stoic life, squatting in the snow to make a fire to cook, feed the war horses, and maintain the guns and vehicles, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and let out a white mist, "It's really embarrassing to do things in this world!" ”

But there was good news the next day:

Two million pieces of money and silk have been sent here from the capital day and night, saying that they will be distributed to the soldiers of all armies.

It is said that Gao Yue's team will be rewarded with 550,000 yuan, Wei Gao's team will be rewarded with 720,000 yuan, and the city sides will also have a share of 200,000 yuan.

The rest will all go into the military treasury of the imperial camp, and in fact, it will be arranged by Gao Yue as a whole for the next battle.

When Gao Yue and Wei Gao stood on the middle base and announced that they would report the share of the reward to all the soldiers and the city, the whole camp was full of joy, and many soldiers were happy, knowing that new goods would be delivered soon, so they generously presented the old cloth and silk ribbons to the prostitutes who were good in the camp, or the "dew" Qiang girls who accompanied them.

"What, to give us the task of besieging Sanssouci City?" Later, in Wei Gao's tent, Dong Woting, Gao Wantang and other Qiang barbarian Qu Shuai were very surprised.
