Chapter 358: Plotting a Rebellion
Chapter 382: Plotting a Rebellion
By the end of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Yunwen finally unloaded those burdens and took a good rest.
After spending a Laba Festival with my wife and children at home, I spent two days arranging all the big and small things, including the rotation from the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Of course, no matter which department it is, it will not be his turn to be Zhang Yunwen. In other words, from the fifteenth day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Yunwen can relax and rest.
In the past few days, the real court has really not been pure. The contradiction between the East Palace and the King of Wei was almost made public, first Li Tai asked for the revision of the "Chronicles of the Clan", and then Li Chengqian was not far behind and asked to be included in the revision of the "Chronicles of the Clan". However, Li Chengqian's request was rejected by Li Shimin on the grounds that the prince was busy with government affairs.
I heard that after Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace with a gloomy face that day, he smashed several porcelains and whipped more than 20 people under the pretext of making everyone in the East Palace feel at risk.
But none of this matters about Zhang Yunwen, at this time he was looking at the four-and-a-half-year-old children in front of him unhappily.
Now, Li Shimin's group of children have grown up a lot, and they seem to have jumped up and grown up within a year. Among the four and a half children of Li Zhi, Li Shen, Gao Yang and Jinyang, Li Zhi and Li Shen are taking turns to use the slide in the courtyard, Princess Jinyang and her daughter Zhang Yan are smiling like silver bells on the swing, as for Princess Gaoyang, this little girl who is half old and almost to Zhang Yunwen's chest is walking around the corridor step by step with Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji, who hadn't walked two steps, had a lazy seizure and didn't want to walk, but was held by Princess Gaoyang in his armpit, so he had to pout, unwillingly moving with her movements.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen, Li Yu and others couldn't help laughing.
When asked why only the four of them came, Li Zhi pouted and said indignantly: "It's not the fourth brother yet, he said in front of my father that our homework was wasted, and he, who was the elder brother, really didn't fulfill his responsibilities, so let us study our homework in the palace again!" He doesn't look at when he taught us half of his homework and fulfilled half of his brother's duties! ”
Zhang Yunwen was immediately surprised: "Then how did you come out?" ”
Li Zhi turned his gaze to Princess Gao Yang: "Nu, it's not that Sister Gao Yang pulled the little son to grind in front of her father for a long time, and my father gave us a day off!" As for the tenth brother...... "Li Zhi looked at Li Shen who was walking over here, "His homework has always been very good, and he doesn't need the fourth brother to teach him at all!" ”
After playing in the courtyard, the four children had lunch and dinner at Zhang Yunwen's house, and then reluctantly left Zhang Yunwen's house.
"Alas, second brother-in-law, it's better for you to be here, the whole family, harmonious, there are two children, laughing and laughing all the time, how depressing it is like in the palace!" Before leaving, Li Zhi said with a sigh with his hands behind his back.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked by Zhang Yunwen: "What did you kid say!" At such an age, you know how to sigh! ”
As soon as he heard Zhang Yunwen say that he was young, Li Zhi immediately jumped: "I am thirteen years old this year, which is not small!" ”
Zhang Yunwen snorted disdainfully: "It's a virtual age!" A little guy who hasn't grown all his hair is here with deep emotion! ”
As soon as he heard the words "Mao didn't grow up", Li Zhi suddenly wilted, glanced at Zhang Yunwen with resentment, and slowly entered the palace amid Zhang Yunwen's laughter.
Zhang Yunwen sent the four of them to the gate of the palace, and when he turned around and walked back against the snowflakes, the curfew had already begun.
When the patrolling soldiers met Zhang Yunwen and were about to come forward to investigate, Zhang Yunwen flashed the waist card on his body, and those soldiers immediately continued to patrol.
After walking for a while, Zhang Yunwen suddenly heard hurried footsteps from behind, and when he looked back, he saw a person shrouded in black running past him.
Although Zhang Yunwen felt that this person was a little strange, the patrol had just walked by, and they would definitely see this person. At this time, this person is still running, which means that the patrol team did not embarrass him, which shows that he is also a person with an identity. Therefore, Zhang Yunwen was not ready to meddle with any idle things, and walked slowly to his home by himself.
The black figure met the patrol several more times, until it reached a mansion with a tall door, and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the gate opened, and the man in black entered the courtyard with a "whoosh".
On the gate, two lanterns emit a faint glow, illuminating the plaque on the door. There are five big characters written on it: "Beiping County Palace".
This king of Beiping County refers to the Turki Khan, the second Khan of the Eastern Turks who crisscrossed the grasslands that year. In the third year of Zhenguan, the Tuli Department surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he was named the general of the right guard, the king of Beiping County, and the governor of Shunzhou. However, the king of Beiping County, the governor of Shunzhou, on the way to Shunzhou to take office, when he arrived in Bingzhou, he fell ill and died at the age of 29. When he died, Li Shimin cried bitterly.
After his death, his son, Holohu, inherited the title. is only a title, the two official positions of the right guard general and the governor of Shunzhou were withdrawn by the imperial court.
After the peace of Chang'an was settled, the Turks, who had surrendered, could not find any work to do. Farming, no. In business, it can't compare to those cunning Han people. There is only grazing, but this Datang cultivates the land on all sides, where is the grassland for you to graze.
Therefore, these Turks had to wander the streets of Chang'an all day long, relying on the monthly court and the rewards given by Li Shimin every festival.
Many of them became gangsters in Chang'an.
After the man in black entered the room, he took off the black coat on his body and shook off the snowflakes, revealing his burly figure. He said to an old man next to him, "It's snowing so much! I almost ran back all the way, and the snow was still covering my shoulders! ”
The old man took the man in black, sighed, and walked away silently. When he walked to the door, the old man suddenly turned his head and said to the man: "Society, today He Luohu met a man named Xiao Rui, who is said to be the grandson of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song. He had a quarrel with him, and was now sulking in his room! ”
The great man called the association was stunned for a moment, then pushed them away and walked to Ho Luohu's room.
This association is the brother of Tuli, and when the Tuli people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the association was also named a Zhonglang general. However, it has been 12 years since Zhenguan, and this association is still a Zhonglang general.
After Tuli surrendered to Datang, the association thought that the official position given to him by Datang was too low, and found Tuli, hoping that Tuli could say a few words in front of Li Shimin and improve his official position. However, Tuli sent out the association on the grounds that the newly descended people had not achieved an inch of success, so they wanted to seek officials and acted in a hurry. The association believed that Tuli was really deliberately rejecting himself, and he was resentful, and in a fit of anger, he falsely accused Tuli of rebellion.
After Li Shimin learned about this matter, he was exempted from the punishment of the association for the sake of Tuli, but he took an attitude of ignoring the association. He was not allowed to go to war, and his official position was not promoted, so until now, he is still a mid-term general.
After Tuli died of illness in the state, his association was unrestrained, and there was no hope of promotion, so he gradually became an idle scoundrel, just like He Luohu. Not much, this scoundrel is holding the position of a lieutenant general.
Entering He Luohu's room, the association sat down opposite He Luohu, crossed Erlang's legs, and said to He Luohu, who had a depressed expression, "What, He Luohu is uncomfortable? ”
He Luohu saw that it was his uncle, and immediately nodded, "Phew": "Xiao Rui's bastard thing is just a concubine, and he relies on the princess, so he dares to point at Lao Tzu's nose and scold." Lao Tzu is the king of Beiping! ”
When the association heard this, it chuckled disdainfully: "He Luohu, you, the king of Beiping County, were just passed on to you by your father and my brother, and you yourself have no prestige or power, of course, you can only point your nose and scold!" ”
He Luohu suddenly said angrily: "Just talking about me, what about you, you have been mixed up for so long, and you are still a Zhonglang general, I don't think you will be able to mix it up in your life!" ”
When the association heard this, he immediately took a bite of "bah" and said: "If it is on the grassland, Lao Tzu is at least a leaf protector, but in this Chang'an, it is not a fart!" I really miss the time when I was on the prairie! ”
"yes!" He Luohu also chimed in, "Although I was not very old at that time, I felt comfortable when I thought of the green grassland, the blue sky, and the white clouds! ”
Seeing He Luohu's nostalgic look, the association couldn't help but flash a trace of ruthlessness on his face: "He Luohu, otherwise let's go to the Western Turks!" ”
"What! Throw yourself into the Western Turks? You're crazy! He stood up suddenly, looked at the face of the association, and said in surprise.
The association was ruthless: "I'm not crazy! Staying in this Chang'an, Lao Tzu's bones are civilized, and he lives in such a low voice all day long, it is better for Lao Tzu to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and defect to the Western Turks, maybe he can find an official like Ye Hu, lead the troops to kill the enemy, and then go to the battlefield! ”
As he spoke, the association grabbed He Luohu's shoulder: "He Luohu, Lao Tzu has decided, now it's your turn!" As long as you say a word, we will leave Chang'an tomorrow! ”
He Luohu's eyes showed a look of thought, and after a while, he finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, since you have said so, Lao Tzu has done it!" ”
"Good!" The association praised loudly, "It is worthy of a Turkic with wolf blood in his body!" However, you and I will vote empty-handed, I'm afraid we won't be waiting to see the Western Turks, it's better for you to come forward to gather the old tribes who are separated from Chang'an, let's do a game in Chang'an, cut off the heads of some relatives of the Tang Emperor, and then go to the Western Turks together, at that time, the credit will also be there, and the official position will come! ”
He Luohu narrowed his eyes and nodded vigorously, looking at the association. And the association also looked at it at the same time. The two looked at each other and sneered, everything was silent.
