Datang Jingshi has an internal and external teaching workshop, the internal teaching workshop department specializes in serving the royal family, and the foreign teaching workshop department supplies the official government and the public and private banquet needs, and there are also teaching workshops at the local state and county levels, mainly for the local government, these teaching workshops are all public in nature, in addition to entertaining people with sound and color, but also to help the benefactor deal with some miscellaneous affairs, such as sending letters.
The delivery of official documents mainly depends on the post system of the imperial court, the post houses are all over every corner of the empire, the funds are borne by the allocated public land and the locality, and the embassy post envoy is set up in the central part of the empire to supervise the responsibility, and the imperial history is appointed as the post envoy in the early stage, and after the first year of Dezong Zhen, the post envoy is mostly served by the eunuch. At the local level, the state and county magistrates and county governors also serve as patrol post stations, and at the same time, there are post house inspectors in each province to supervise the post houses in the territory.
In addition to the government-run post system, Datang also has a variety of private mail systems, especially in economically developed areas, because of its convenience, efficiency, privacy, and popularity, operators have made a lot of profits.
Relying on the huge network and the advantage of being close to the source of customers, the local teaching workshops are also involved in making profits.
Because of the care given by the local government, the messengers of the Jiaofang had many privileges when sending letters, so the delivery of letters was fast and accurate, and the security and stability were far greater than those of the government's post system.
It was the first time for Yan Qin to use the private mail system to deliver confidential documents, and the content of the letter was very sensitive.
If this letter falls into the hands of his father-in-law, Yan Li, the father-son relationship of more than 20 years will be cut in two. This was a great loss that Yan Qin could not bear, and Yan Qin lived in torment day after day, day after day.
At dusk on the third day after the letter was sent, Yan Li suddenly sent his entourage to invite him to the camp to discuss matters, and Zheng E, who came with the entourage on order, had a solemn face and a serious expression. Yan Qin chuckled in his heart: What are you afraid of, what is this called.
Yan Qin straightened his clothes and followed Zheng E to the camp, at the gate of the council hall camp, he hesitated slightly, the important juncture of his life was just a few steps, if he took the wrong step, he was completely wrong, there was no way to change it, and there was nowhere to ask for regret medicine.
He exhaled and walked into the courtyard of the council room, but he heard Yan Li's hearty laughter: "Pacify the polite, if you are twenty years younger, the old man can barely stand the words 'skilled in arching horses', but now, old, not reused." Ha ha. ”
Yan Qin was shocked: Li Mao is here, what is the matter?
It was Li Mao who came, he sent Yan Li a good horse and a good bow, and told Yan Li an important news, his old brother Yin Mu in the Ziqing Qing Navy wrote to him, asking to return to the imperial court, Li Mao hoped that Yan Li would come forward to surrender.
This blessing fell from the sky, no wonder Yan Lixiao's mouth couldn't close.
Yan Qin squinted at Zheng E, wondering why this guy had this bitter gourd face.
In front of Li Mao, Yan Li gave full authority to his most important son, Yan Qin, with the task of contacting Yin Mu to return to the imperial court, and Yan Li secretly instructed: "If you cooperate with General Yin Mu to seize Jianzhou, I will give you a great credit." ”
Yan Qin Zheng had a sense of happiness for the rest of his life, and agreed without hesitation when he heard this.
After sitting down, he squinted at Li Mao, hoping to read something from his face, but he was disappointed, Li Mao's face was like the water of an ancient well, he was not shocked, and he couldn't see anything.
At dusk, a rain fell in Jianzhou City, the small town after the rain was wet, damp, cold, this winter rain that made the northern visitors very uncomfortable, for the indigenous people who have lived here for generations, but it is nothing at all, as soon as the rain stopped, the streets and alleys in Jianzhou City became lively.
Although in wartime, after dinner, the women poured into the streets, the women were short of the east and west, the men were blowing nonsense, the children were scurrying around, whistling and playing, it was still a necessary leisure before going to bed every day, the mountain people were gentle on the surface, but they were all thorns in their bones, which was very clear to the Jianzhou Thorn Shi Wen Dezhao, who had lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, so within the scope of his authority, he was willing to travel to the people of the mountain city for a convenience, and the convenience of others was convenient for himself, why not.
A team of horses entered from the south gate, breaking the tranquility of the town, although the number of the horse team was small, but the momentum was very strong, roaring along the north and south streets, turning east in the heart of the cross street, the horses' hooves had to go straight to the Thorn Shi Mansion.
The people chatting on the street were impulsive by the war horses and scattered to hide, and for a while people turned on their backs and the dogs barked.
The people of Jianzhou are used to being idle, and even at the current tense juncture of using troops, they are impatient with such a scene, and they are scolding for a while. This horse team was unmoved, the wind has generally arrived in front of the door of the Assassin's Mansion, dismounted and threw away the reins of the horse, led by the three people, straight into the Assassin's Mansion, soap Li wanted to stop, and was forced to retreat by the left and right armor soldiers with knives.
Wen Dezhao was taken aback when he heard that Su Jiang had arrived outside the door. Su Jiang is just an ordinary official in the military government, and he doesn't have to be afraid of him with the honor of assassinating history, but he has two other identities, but Wen Dezhao has to pay attention to it, Su Jiang is Liu Bi's son-in-law, and Su Jiang is also a general of the army of the Fifth Academy.
Needless to say, Liu Bi's son-in-law is the elite of the Xichuan Tooth Army, in addition to guarding the Jiedu Envoy and Yacheng, he also handles some secret private affairs for the Jiedu Envoy. The generals in his courtyard are all the sons and daughters of the nobles in the Xichuan Ya Army, and this alone is by no means something that he can provoke with a foreign surname.
Wen Dezhao stepped out, bowed his hand, and asked with a smile: "What advice does the general have when he comes to my Jianzhou?" ”
Su Jiang ignored him with a cold face, rushed away from Wen Dezhao and entered the inner hall, stood still in front of the chair where Wen Dezhao often sits, took off the wet coat and threw it to the left and right, sat down with a golden knife, took the marching skin handed over by the guard, and drank a large sip of cold wine.
Only then did he hum: "Your Jianzhou, this Jianzhou will not be yours soon." ”
The person who came was not good, Wen Dezhao greeted the left and right hot tea, and stood carefully in front of Su Jiang, waiting for the attendant to bring tea, Wen Dezhao personally served it to Su Jiang, and then accompanied the smiling face, and asked carefully: "What does the unknown general mean by this?" ”
Su Jiang picked up the bowl lid and dialed the tea, but he didn't answer, and one of the guards who came with him sneered: "Wen Envoy Jun is still dreaming, Yin Mu has already colluded with Li Mao, and is ready to sacrifice the city tonight." ”
"Ahh Wen Dezhao was shocked, "This, what evidence does the general have?" ”
"Evidence, you go to Yin Mu's camp to see who is there, Yan Li's righteous son Yan Qin is eating there."
Yan Qin was indeed in Yin Mu's tent at the moment, in front of Yin Mu, but instead of sitting and eating, he was lying on his stomach and eating sticks.
Yan Qin's name, Yin Mu has heard of it for a long time, originally he still had respect for this rising star in the Shannan army, but he didn't expect Yan to come to his camp in a daze, and kept saying that he was here to surrender.
At first, Yin Mu thought that he was here to be a lobbyist, and he was afraid that he would not meet, so he pretended to be amazing, but when he listened to it, he felt that something was wrong, Yan Qin was really ordered to surrender, and Zheng E, who came with him, brought Yan Li's handwritten letter to him agreeing to his return to the imperial court.
The second monk Yin Muzhang was puzzled.
When the envoy of the battalion heard that someone was coming from the north, he hurried over and asked Yin Mu what was going on, but Yin Mu had no choice but to order Yan Qin and Zheng E to be tied up, and please eat sticks to prove his innocence.
Now that the problem is clear, Yan Qin was indeed ordered to surrender, he was ordered by Yan Li, and Yan Li was ordered by Li Mao, Li Mao told Yan Li that he had received a letter from Yin Mu asking him to return to the imperial court, and asked Yan Li to come forward to accept the surrender, and Yan Li was happy to send his most important son, Yan Sangongzi, the rising star of the Shannan Army.
But the problem is that he, Yin Muji, once wrote to Li Mao to ask for a return to the imperial court, and there is nothing to do at all, this basin is detained.
Yin Mu was depressed, so he sprinkled the fire on Yan Qin and Zheng E's heads, and after a meal of fried pork slices with bamboo shoots, Zheng E behaved and first changed his words and confessed. Yan Qin also thought that heroes would not suffer immediate losses, so he also changed his words and said that the two of them wanted to perform miraculous feats, and used the name of Li Mao to persuade Yin Mu to return to the imperial court, and the so-called Yan Li's handwritten letter was simply forged.
The envoy of the prison army was suspicious, and he asked Yin Mu to send people to Jianzhou City to prove his innocence.
Yin Mu kept an eye on it, and in the name of inquiring about the reality of Yan Li's camp, he persuaded the military envoy to temporarily leave Yan Qin and Zheng E in the camp for him to interrogate the truth.
Yin Mu and Li Mao are old acquaintances, only a few years ago, Li Mao was just a lowly official with no foundation in his eyes, with no family background, no skills, no literature, no martial arts, I really can't see any ability to get ahead.
People may not have the ability, but they are surprisingly lucky, and in just a few years, they have climbed from the county government officials to the current from the four grades of Honglu Shaoqing, the lonely mountain uncle, and the pacification envoy of the imperial court, in charge of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liangchuan.
On the other hand, he has a bumpy career, ups and downs, and he is still an unpopular general, not only discriminated against by the old man in Xichuan after Wei Gao's death, but also recently targeted by Lu Wenruo, and he is unsatisfactory everywhere.
In the dead of night, he didn't have the idea of defecting to Li Mao, but when he thought that he was going to grovel to the younger generations who were called by him in the past, Yin Mu's heart ached faintly, and he was really a little unwilling.
What made him even more resentful was that Li Mao actually regarded him as nothing, and he actually looked for him from the future, despised himself so much, and then pasted it with a dead face, where would this old face go?
Sometimes Yin Mu wondered if he had offended Li Mao back then, and Li Mao was obviously holding his breath to take revenge on him. He didn't come to persuade himself to surrender, but waited until the day the city was broken, and then he took his head and asked his new master for a reward.
But everything now proves to be my own crankiness,
It's not that Li Mao didn't come to him, but he didn't free his hand, and once he freed his hand, he immediately came to the door, not only that, but also presented a big gift - Yan Qin, the righteous son of Yan Li, the envoy of Shannan Jiedu.
The young man in front of him who was tied like a dumpling was not simple, thinking that when Tubo entered Kouwenzhou, he was killed in battle, the city was broken, and the people of the city were taken captive, Yan Sangongzi personally led thirty horsemen into the Tubo camp at night, set fire to the camp, not only rescued the captive people, but also took advantage of the chaos to kill the Tubo Jiedu envoy, and the terrifying Tubo army of 20,000 retreated without a fight.
But this gift is too big, and I really can't afford it.
