Chapter 1071: Si Qing disarmed
When they arrived outside the city, in addition to the high-ranking officials who should be present according to their ranks, the number of people from all walks of life in Chang'an to welcome the army was as many as 3,000.
Before the emperor and the crown prince arrived, the band of the Taile Department was auditioning at this time, and suddenly a woman's voice in the crowd called out Siqing.
When the two looked at it, it turned out to be Ashina Thin Cloth, the former city lord of Futu City who had moved to Chang'an.
Although Ashina thin cloth has no real job, it has reached more than three grades, so he brought his son Pheasant Lin and daughter-in-law Nubiya are also here.
Nubiya and Siqing are not familiar with each other, but after the two parted from Xizhou, they met here at first glance, and they seemed very affectionate to each other.
She took Siqing's hand and asked the seventh lady Lirong and the eighth lady Su Yin, because these two people had fought with her in Yanqi City because of seizing the bridge and protecting the bridge in the middle of the night.
When she learned that Siqing had come to greet her brother and the leader of the Jieli tribe, Simo, Nubia asked, "The leader of Simo must also be a powerful figure like the tall man, right?" ”
Siqing was polite on her lips, but her heart was beautiful, she looked at Gao Jun and said to Nubia, "How can he have my brother's heroism and majesty!" ”
She raised her eyes and looked at the end of the official road, there was no shadow of the teacher, and at this time, someone from the palace came to report, saying that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly felt unwell and would not attend.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not be present either, because he had to serve by His Majesty's side.
They asked Gao Jun, the secretary of the military department, to stand in front of the army to greet the British princess team. Then the envoy Zhao Guogong and the king of Jiangxia County arrived.
This situation was somewhat unexpected by Gao Jun, unless the emperor was very unwell, he would not generally make changes during such a major event.
Then I thought that today would be my first meeting with the British Duke Li Shi after I arrived in Chang'an, and I should always think of some words.
Gao Jun asked himself, this time to send troops to fight against Goryeo, the former military department Shangshu led the troops, and it is always a little unrighteous to stay at home at a young age, so we must be polite when we meet each other for a while.
However, in the end, his posture was correct enough, and he was extremely cautious when exporting everything related to the British duke, and tried not to interfere with him, and the matter of military supply was done satisfactorily.
When they meet for a while, it may be a little embarrassing to leave the military department, because the army is about to be divided, and the position of the British Duke has not yet been determined.
However, he believed that there was always something untrue in the rumors that Xie Jinlian heard, and the emperor did not say anything about making up for the post of Shangshu's left servant. Then he guessed that perhaps eighty percent of this position, which required prestige and experience, was reserved for Li Shi.
At the end of the day, a fast horse galloped from the official road in the east, and reported that the British man had arrived.
Soon, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, first layers of flags appeared, and then a large group of people appeared!
The band began to drum and the people cheered.
……
The emperor is not sick, and the crown prince is fine.
It's just that Li Shi secretly and in advance sent a letter to the emperor to send a message to the emperor Simo, the leader of the Jieli Tribe, died because of the arrow poison in his body, and he had passed away when he arrived in Yingzhou.
This is the highest status general of the Tang Dynasty to ask for losses this time, and it is not counting the headquarters, and the huge changes brought about by this incident made even the emperor not think about it carefully for a while.
Simo's expedition is more symbolic, he represents the naturalization of nomadic tribes in the northern part of Kannai Province, a large area, and the good situation of hatred and hatred.
But it was such an accident that made the originally joyful class teacher a lot less colorful.
Li Shi did not send a letter, but reported it to the inner palace privately, indicating that he also felt afraid. Because he said in the secret letter that the 3,000 cavalry led by Simo was not very stable since they passed through Yingzhou, and it was okay to scold and scold.
Li Shi's worries have been even worse day by day since he passed Youzhou, because after Youzhou, his 40,000 troops have all dispersed into the original military mansion of the various folds, and he only has 3,000 horses and infantry from his headquarters.
And Simo's men also had three thousand, all cavalry.
They took the ashes of the cremated chief Simo and raised layers of white flags from Yingzhou, saying that they would come to Chang'an to meet their princess Siqing.
The emperor thought that if it weren't for this reason, there might have been more radical behavior.
The emperor and the crown prince Li Zhi said: If you don't go out of the eastern suburbs to welcome the army, Li Shi provoked such a big Louzi, what face does the emperor have to greet him?
In addition, almost all the high-ranking officials had to go outside the city, and Gao Jun would definitely go, what was his reaction after he suddenly heard about it?
The emperor said to Li Zhi that if he followed the fluctuating mood of those Jieli cavalry as the British Gong said, Gao Jun had better beat Li Shi violently in front of the officials and the common people, so that he could surrender fire to those Jieli cavalry.
Gao Jun recommended Li Shi's nephew Li Ji and asked him to go to Xizhou to serve as Sima, but Li Shi did not take good care of Gao Jun's brother-in-law, and his beating may be the best way to calm the anger of the public.
But if the emperor and the crown prince are also present, Gao Jun may not be able to do it.
Li Zhi was secretly happy, and said in his heart that his father had made the right idea to create conditions for Gao Jun. But all walks of life in Chang'an were present, and it was extremely inappropriate for the military department to beat the commander of the army violently, so what would people who didn't know the truth think?
Li Shike is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he was beaten in public, how can the emperor express his position? Li Zhi looked at the emperor's graceful appearance, as if he was confident.
If you don't do this, how can the 3,000 people of the Jieli Department leave willingly?
This is really a dilemma, and, with a high temper, is it a big face with hands or a big face without hands? Li Zhi couldn't figure it out either.
The Emperor looked at Li Zhi, "I know what you're thinking. ”
Li Zhi's face flushed, "Father, could it be that the sons and daughters are thinking about things simply?" ”
……
Outside the Chunming Gate, when Gao Jun saw the Jieli Department following the back of the home team, carrying layers of white flags, and Li Shi came forward and showed extremely unspeakable embarrassment, Gao Jun had already realized something.
If you change the death of any other Jieli general, there will be no such formation!
In the center of the front of the Jieli horse team, there was no familiar figure under the banner of the main general, Gao Jun's heart tightened again, and his throat was a little choked.
A few months ago in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, when Simo led the team to leave, he was still alive and well, but he didn't expect that at this time it was already yin and yang.
No one spoke, but the bands had stopped playing, and there was a commotion in the welcoming crowd, but it was quiet. Siqing shook twice beside her, her face pale.
Gao Jun turned around and glanced in the direction of Nubia, and she ran over.
When Li Shi said the news with difficulty, Siqing, who was standing beside Gao Jun, fainted suddenly, and was supported by Nubiya in time.
The British Duke was very unhappy and stood there without moving.
The young guards around him looked nervous, staring at the face of the tall man Tie Qing of the military department, they all knew the relationship between the new military department Shangshu and the leader of the Jieli department, Simo. And the woman next to him must be Simo's own sister.
These people don't know if they want to protect the prince in case of any accidents.
Gao Jun's face was pale, and he stood up and said to the British duke, "The prince is hard," he didn't know what to say, he really shouldn't have appeared on today's occasion.
Li Shi also arched his hand and said, "Master Gao, Li was ordered by the emperor to go out as a teacher, although he didn't dare to say anything bitter...... However, there are two out of 1,000 generals, and General Simo of the Jieli Department was martyred, which is even more distressing! ”
Gao Jun said, "Guogong, the record is already good!" But now is not the time to talk about this, Your Majesty wanted to come in person, but the dragon body is not safe, and Gao is only considered to be the front station. There are Zhao Guogong and Jiangxia Wangye behind, and Guogong should go to see him quickly. ”
Said the flash to the side.
Under the guidance of an insider, a guard of honor arrived with Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, accompanied by Lord Chu, a regular attendant of the Inner Servant Province.
They were ordered by the emperor to greet the chief and deputy envoys of the British duke.
Gao Jun supported Siqing, let her head rest on his shoulder, and his hand held her waist to prevent her from collapsing.
What he was worried about was that if Siqing woke up and cried at this time, the three thousand men and horses of the Jieli Department behind him would inevitably be in a commotion, and some people might even rush over.
The British Duke went on many expeditions and knew the etiquette of the class teacher, but he still saluted according to the teachings of the confessor, and the master of ceremonies sang praises and played music.
Subsequently, Zhao Guogong read out the holy edict, clearly indicating the return of the Mandate of Heaven, reprimanding Goryeo's reckless soldiers, encouraging the soldiers who went out on the expedition, and giving the fallen soldiers a very high evaluation.
The British Duke received the edict from the hands of the eldest grandson, and then the music was played, the ceremonial officer sang, and Li Shi thanked him, and everything returned to normal procedures.
The soldiers shouted long live, and the roar resounded through the sky.
Gao Jun felt Siqing's legs become stronger again, and when he looked down, he found that her head was still resting on his shoulder, her eyes were closed, but tears were flowing from her eyes.
Yes! She's such a sensible woman!
The eldest grandson Wuji finished what he should have done according to the program, but he knew that things were far from over. It's just that the next step is not as simple as following the script.
He gave Le Zheng a look, and Le Zheng knew that the node of the drum was put very slowly, like a heartbeat that was about to be extinguished. The key of the music also shifted to a solemn low back, and some of the horses in the Jie Li Department sobbed.
Lord Eldest Sun sent someone to run up from behind and stuffed Gao Jun with a page of manuscript, which seemed to have been made up improvised.
The meaning of the eldest grandson is also very simple, and there is no sense of guilt: you go up next.
Gao Jun took it with one hand and looked down, recognizing that it was Master Chu's undried handwriting. It reads, "Stop the punishment with the punishment, the Emperor's decree." To stop the war with war, the general rule of the saints is to fight with Tang Wu, and it is a last resort to ......" There are hundreds of words sprinkled with joy, and there are still a few words in it that I don't know.
Gao Jun said in his heart, Lord Chu, you have lifted me up!
At this time, he was never allowed to take the time to read these words, so he casually stuffed the manuscript into Siqing's hand, and she took it with her eyes closed.
Gao Jun asked loudly, "Gao's brother-in-law, where is the leader of Simo?" Why can't I see him? ”
Siqing's shoulders shrugged violently, his head raised, and one hand pinched his waist desperately. The music stopped, and there was silence in all directions.
Eight horsemen galloped in the horse team, one carrying the flag of Simo, two people on the left and right to protect the flag, and four people surrounded one person, holding a white oil painted clay pot in his arms, and the top of the jar was covered with a piece of white silk.
They galloped to a stop in front of the military department Shangshu and Princess Siqing, and the knight holding the clay pot dismounted, touched the ground with one leg, and lifted the clay pot above his head. "Princess! Bridegroom! We will be the leader...... The escort is back! ”
Siqing fell down on one knee, holding the clay pot and crying silently.
One of the flag guards shouted, "Princess! He knew that the big leader was wounded by an arrow, and let him serve as a guard, and the big leader was seriously injured and unconscious on the way, so he only sent a few quack doctors over, and the army couldn't even stop......"
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were not far behind, and they heard these words word for word, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, turned his face to look at Li Shi, and saw that his face was ashamed.
But these words were undoubtedly extremely indemgent, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, couldn't help but be anxious.
Gao Jun didn't wait for him to finish, and asked loudly, "Who shot the cold arrow?!" Is he still alive?! ”
This person was silent, and he couldn't go any further, and the other person said, "Back to the horse, that person is the guard of the Goryeo Iron Urn City, and he is still alive at this time!" ”
Gao Jun said, "The army has marched thousands of miles and died more than a thousand, no martyr has ever complained, the enemy is still there, who will complain about medicine?" Gao's wife and brother braved the arrow stone and martyred the country with the dignity of the leader, so none of his subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they complain and sobble here! ”
He pointed to the clay pot and said, "The leader of Simo also died in battle for the Tang Dynasty, how can he be covered with a mere piece of silk cloth, don't you hear about the general's hundred battles and the horse leather shroud?" ”
After that, he quickly took off the robe of the military department and laid it underground, and the person holding the pot understood that he wanted to put the clay pot in.
But Siqing said, "Wait! ”
She straightened up, carefully untied the yak breastplate from her body under the gaze of everyone, and spread it in the center of her robe.
At this time, in the late October weather, Siqing was only wearing a soft white cotton close-fitting shirt in the leather armor, and the proud and upright figure was outlined by the autumn wind, but the clothes were a little thin.
Gao Jun had already taken off his outer robe, and there was only one shirt on his body at this time, he didn't say a word, and then took off the only shirt left on his upper body and wrapped it around his wife, and he was shirtless in front of the public.
Everyone saw that Gao Jun's body was full of healthy meat, his chest muscles were terrifyingly bulging, and his waist, back, arms and other places were scarred.
The three thousand Tang troops were in awe and began to shout, "Datang! Mighty! Smoke! Mighty! ”
Subsequently, some people in the cavalry of the Jieli Department also shouted, "Datang! Mighty! Smoke! Mighty! ”
Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he should have no worries today!
The person holding the jar woke up like a dream, skimmed off the silk cloth, and solemnly put the clay pot into the leather armor, and Siqing wrapped it in leather armor and official robes.
Another flag keeper said, "Princess, before the leader died, he asked the princess to take over the position of the great leader of the Jieli Ministry, so that the Jieli Ministries would not be left without a master for a day. ”
Gao Jun and Siqing whispered, and then Siqing said to everyone in the Jieli Department, "I have made up my mind...... I buried my brother in the Meridian Mountain, and let him be with my grandfather Shen Guogong. And you, after the salute, quickly return to the headquarters of Jieli, and be content with the guards, do not slack off patrolling the borders, and everything will be cut off by your majesty. ”
Gao Jun said, "I almost forgot about the enemy!" Gao put down his words here, and within a month, the head of the archer will be presented in front of Simoling! ”
The standard-bearer asked, "My lord, but we have already withdrawn our troops, and it should have snowed heavily on the way here, and we don't even know how to do it?" ”
Gao Jun snorted, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I only remember one sentence: 'Those who commit a strong Tang (Han) offense will be punished even if they are far away!'" 'I don't care if it snows or not, I want to hate it!' ”
The 3,000 people of the Jieli Department and the 3,000 people of the Tang Army were furious, and they pulled their necks and shouted, "Master Gao, let's go!" We're going to go now!! ”
