Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 103 Reaching a Convergence
For the people of the Liang Dynasty, the poetic Ruixue is really cruel in the eyes of the Xiliang people, the harvest of the past year is not good, coupled with the wind and sand raging in the spring and the early arrival of winter, many farmers and herdsmen have not been able to store enough winter materials, some counties began to appear hungry, the county guard originally suppressed and did not report, but with the increase in the number of hungry people, he couldn't hide it, so he had to play it truthfully, and a few days ago a sealed newspaper began to appear on the desk of the Luo Lerong.
Syllable! Several recitals were slammed on the ground by the Luo Lerong, and Yun Yun, who had been standing aside, hurriedly ran over to pick it up, but was stopped by his master, he stared at the innocent eyes to look at the high, moody master, and then looked at the recitals all over the ground at a loss for a while, but heard a loud voice from outside the frost hall, "The emperor asks to see the saint!" ”
And Yun peeked at his master, then Luo Lerong raised one eyebrow, leaned back and ordered: "Come in!" ”
The moment he pushed the door open, Yun Fen clearly felt the gusts of cold wind pouring in, which made him shiver, so he had to stand up straight and retreat to the side, making way for this gray-robed man who looked like a ghost and walked quietly. Luck's curiosity made him try to peek at the gray-robed man's true face again, but like all previous attempts, there was darkness inside the hood, and Luck pursed his lips disdainfully.
"The Emperor is a saint!" The gray-robed man crossed his hands in front of his chest, knelt on his knees, leaned his head forward, and Luo Lerong squeezed out a "um" pronunciation from his nostrils, and Huangfu stood up unhurriedly.
"I heard that hungry people began to appear in my Xiliang, and there were even hungry people robbing the granaries in some counties, which has never happened in Xiliang for more than ten years, and the minister thought that the saint must be worried about this matter."
"In the words of your Liang Dynasty people, are you 'insinuating'? I feel that I am not as lonely as my ex! ”
And Yun looked at Huangfu with interest, wanting to see the consequences of him offending his master.
Huangfu You said: "The cloud village was removed, and he secretly helped Donghu but never able to resist the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty, so that the Liang Dynasty Chen soldiers arrived at the door, and Weichen couldn't say anything to flatter the saint no matter what." ”
All right! It's really bold enough, just wait to be cut in half! On the one hand, he was indignant at Huangfu You's unobstructed mouth, and on the other hand, he was secretly happy about his fate. After waiting for a while, he didn't wait for Basilon to be furious.
"Hahaha! No wonder my father refuses to use you, it's all bad on your mouth! "Then Basil Rong is not angry but happy, "Since Lone dares to use you, he is not afraid of your mouth." You're right, it's true that Xiliang has had enough of the Liang Dynasty's bullying over the years, Lord Huangfu, this feels like you should be more familiar than anyone else, right? ”
Before he was surprised, Huangfu You's body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be struggling to suppress his emotions, and spoke for a long time: "The minister is a private affair with the Liang Dynasty, and the saint is a major matter of the family and the country, how can you be compared?" ”
"Well said! What is the plan, but it doesn't hurt to say, and luck is close to me, don't avoid suspicion! ”
And Yun felt that Huangfu You glanced at him, but this glance was like a meteor and he didn't have time to distinguish it, and Huangfu You had already begun his own statement: "The hungry people in the country are not enough to worry, and the attention of the people can be easily resolved by shifting the attention of the people to the hatred of the country and the family." Shengshang, the time has come to use troops against the Liang Dynasty, recruit the warriors of my Xiliang into the army, and promise to use military rations and titles, just with the Tang Dynasty to destroy the limelight of the Liang Dynasty. ”
"Down to Tang? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, it's not clear? If you want to borrow a knife to kill people, is it possible that I want my Xiliang army to open the way for the Tang Dynasty? ”
"Since the Xia Tang Dynasty sent envoys to discuss, its sincerity can still be trusted and used for the time being, after all, the Xia Tang Dynasty lost Yinzhou, sent the princess and died in a foreign land, and the humiliation they suffered is definitely no less than that of Xiliang, for now, our two countries have a common enemy!"
"Qi Diao Lezheng is also shameless, sending his disabled sister to others, and this result is also to blame! However, what you said makes sense, and a combined attack can indeed kill Liang Chao by surprise. ”
"Shengshang, there is still a Nanzhao between Xiliang and Xia Tang, there is no danger of border for the time being, and the time for the Shengshang to cool down the Tang envoys is almost there, it's time to ask the envoys to go back to discuss the matter of joining forces to cut down Liang."
"Hahaha, Huangfu You, Huangfu You, this king's mind still can't hide from you!" Then Luo Lerong jumped up from his couch and said, "Pinch your fingers and calculate, it's indeed time for the fire." ”
"Wechen is willing to serve the saint for the dogs and horses!" Huangfu Yu knelt down again, full of piety. Then Luo Lerong rarely walked down the steps and personally helped Huangfu You, and said seriously: "Fa Liang still has to rely on Lord Huangfu!" ”
Although Luo Lerong behaved very politely and virtuously, but Yun always felt that his master's sincerity was not as sincere as he was now, as a personal eunuch who had been by Luo Rong's side for more than ten years, there should be no one in this world who knew the person in front of him better than him. Although he couldn't see Huangfu's face clearly, he still sneered in his heart: No matter how beautiful you are at the moment, you are just a chess piece under my master's hand! In this Wenmo Palace, who saw it and couldn't be respectful, even the courtiers gave him three points of thin face, but this Huangfu You is an exception, since he was promoted by Ze Luolerong, he has never paid attention to him, and even took away some of the honors that originally belonged to Heyun, and Yun already has a grudge against Huangfu You.
At this moment, Dugu Gu and Zhuo Lingyi, accompanied by Bei Chunkang, were warming hot wine and enjoying the snow in a small building in the middle of the lake. The scenery here is located in the Xiliang Imperial City to the north of the hundred miles, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the lake, there are hot springs bubbling out of the mountain, merging into the cool lake water and suddenly rising mist rises, the small building in the center of the lake is like a fallen leaf falling on the surface of the lake, only a covered bridge is connected with the shore.
"It is said that the people of the Liang Dynasty love to drink tea, and I will follow suit!" Bei Chunkang was so clumsy that he lifted the Xuanshi pot and slowly poured it for the two guests, "This is my Xiliang tribute tea, called Seeing Flowers in the Mist." ”
Zhuo Lingyi lifted the teacup and took a closer look, there were a few yellow petals floating in the teacup, the color of the tea soup was pale yellow, and the sweet taste rose up along the steam and drilled into the nostrils. "This is not the so-called tea of the Liang Dynasty, but flower petals?"
"What Lord Zhuo said is good, we Xiliang people call it tea and learned it from the Liang Dynasty, in fact, it is soaked in flowers, but don't underestimate this flower, this is a daisy that grows in the mountain stream, picked after winter every year, washed and then brewed with hot water, this fragrance is enough to make people pour!" Bei Chunkang sucked the fragrance in the tea cup hard, and made a look of enjoyment like falling clouds and mist.
"In that case, we're going to have to taste it." Dugu Gu took the lead in slowly drinking the tea soup in the tea cup, when he first entered his mouth, he only felt warm and sweet, and the sweetness suddenly became stronger after entering the throat, a swallow, the sweetness was like a taste of sugar, lingering for a long time, and Dugu Gu stared at Bei Chunkang with wide eyes, and the latter laughed: "This is the essence of seeing flowers in the fog!" Zhuo Lingyi didn't know why, and it was also quite unexpected to take a sip immediately.
Bei Chunkang is indescribably proud, "Some of the tea is the head, and our Xiliang tea is still unfinished!" ”
"Speaking of 'unfinished', we are also very satisfied with the scenery of Xiliang." Dugu had some vague mentions, but Bei Chunkang didn't hear the sound at all, "How is it?" The scenery of Xiliang is not worse than that of Xia Tang, in fact, there are many scenic spots, find some time, I will take two of you to enjoy it! ”
Dugu smiled helplessly, and Zhuo Lingyi said: "King Hutu is so hospitable, Lingyi is grateful!" After saying that, Ying Ying bowed down, causing Bei Chunkang to stand up in a hurry and was about to reach out to help, Zhuo Lingyi happened to retract his body and continued: "If it weren't for the fact that there was a task in him, Lingyi would really be willing to travel to Xiliang with King Xiu Tu." ”
"Oh, yes!" Bei Chunkang suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, many days have passed since the face of the saint, why has there been no reply in this palace?" ”
"We're traveling so far that even if there is news in the capital, it will take some time!" Dugu Gu said, and now Bei Chunkang finally understood his deep meaning, "Yes, it's all my fault, invite the two of you to such a far place, and we will go back to Beijing immediately!" ”
After that, Bei Chunkang got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Dugu Gu, "King Hutu, even if you want to leave, you are not in a hurry for a while." Bei Chunkang looked around, laughed, raised his hand to drink the tea soup, and said loudly: "Since you are here, I will accompany the two of you to have a good time, and I will arrange a carriage to take you back to Beijing in the afternoon!" ”
Dugu Gu was not bad, and when their convoy was heading in the direction of Wancheng, they happened to meet the herald who was galloping in the direction of Wancheng.
"Lord Dugu, Master Zhuo!" Bei Chunkang lifted the curtain with great interest and shouted excitedly: "The holy message is here, and I want to discuss cooperation with the two!" I'll just say, the Holy One will definitely agree, you guys, you're too anxious! Dugu Gu and Zhuo Lingyi glanced at each other, and immediately smiled and nodded yes.
After returning to the Lower Tang Dynasty, the envoy of the Lower Tang Dynasty made all his encounters in the Liang Dynasty 1510 to the lacquer carving Lezheng, and then under his instructions, the penkeeper added oil and vinegar, and after the addition and decrease of decoration, this inscription began to circulate in the Lower Tang Dynasty, and soon, the shouts of revenge to the Liang Dynasty began to spread throughout the country.
After listening to the ministers' recital in the Mingluo Palace, Qi Diaole was waving their hands to let them retreat, he knew that his policy of stimulating the people began to work, not only the people, but more importantly, the civil and military officials also catered to the people's righteous requirements to wage war against the Liang Dynasty, Fan Yu was even more hoarse and repeatedly asked for his life, vowing to the shame of being recaptured by Yinzhou, but Qi Diaole was holding still, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
"Concubines see King Khan!" Yan Luo, who has a curled skirt and a good posture, walked into the Mingluo Hall with a lovesick thrush, she is now the most favored in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, and her status is second only to the Yan family, and the reason why such an ordinary woman has been favored is now only known by two people, one of whom is the lacquer carving Lezheng in front of her. Yan Luo gathered his skirt and bowed, and presented the acacia thrush to "King Khan, this is the thrush of the Lord of Zhuo".
Qi Diao Le Zheng immediately showed a smile when he saw Yan Luo, and his attitude became a lot gentler, he took the thrush, took off the copper ring, shook out the note, and quickly swept it at a glance, his face became brighter, "You, every time you bring good news to this king!" ”
Yan Luo walked up the steps very interestingly and snuggled himself next to Qi Diaole Zheng, and said like a warbler: "It is the honor of the concubine to meet the Khan King in this life, as long as the Khan King can show a smile, the concubine is willing to do anything." ”
Qi Diaole is stroking the white and warm cheeks, looking at this familiar face, experiencing the same body fragrance, I can't help but feel a little sudden, I always feel that Sakura is still by her side, she leans on her shoulder, purses her lips and smiles at herself, for a moment, Qi Diaole is muscles all over her body hugged Yan Luo fiercely, and its force hurt Yan Luo, and the weight of the sense of oppression made Yan Luo breathless, but Qi Diaole just wanted to hold her firmly in his arms.
"Sakura! Sakura! I'll avenge you! Make those who kill you pay tenfold! I will do it! ”
Lacquer Carving Lezheng's every word was in her ears, and tears began to flow from her eyes, I don't know if it was for herself or for this man who was a little crazy.
