Chapter 735: Big Red and Purple

The Tang Dynasty moved the capital to accompany Luoyang, and changed the title of Luoyang to "Shendu".

Xue Shao, the new secretary of the military department, naturally had to move with his family, and was arranged in the first batch to leave at the same time as the Empress Dowager Wu. The Yulin soldiers and horses who accompanied the escort all the way had to obey Xue Shao's unified deployment and command.

This is bitter for Chen Xian'er, she is pregnant in October and is about to give birth. Originally, Xue Shao was going to leave her in Chang'an to give birth before going to Luoyang, but there was no one to take care of her. So it's a dilemma.

Princess Taiping, who was in the "Cold War" with Xue Shao, showed a convincing style of the main mother. She knew that Xue Shao was a little difficult to deal with this matter, so she took the initiative and quietly went to her mother to make a request, which means, can her family wait a while and then go to Luoyang?

Wu Zetian said that Xue Shao was going to ask the governor Yulin to guard the relocation of the capital, how could he be absent?

Princess Taiping said, then let me stay and take care of Chen Xian'er. After the family affairs were in order, the two went to Luoyang to meet their mother.

Wu Zetian agreed.

Xue Shao was very pleased.

The cold war between the two ended with this. That night, Xue Shao walked into the room of the long-lost Princess Taiping.

Unexpectedly, after entering, there was a "miserable" greeting.

Xue Shao stayed in Pingkangfang for ten days in a row and did not go home, no matter what the reason, Princess Taiping must be angry in her heart. I finally got the opportunity today, if she didn't vent, then she really wouldn't be Princess Taiping.

"Linlang, tie him up!" Princess Taiping sat on the magnificent bed, fierce and vicious, like a cool official, and giving orders was also called a commanding man.

It's just that when Xue Shao saw her appearance, he couldn't be scared - how could he ever see a cool official who only wore a pink tulle and had no hairlocks?

After Linlang got the order, he also stepped forward with a "fierce god". Each of them held a colorful silk in their hands, but their appearance was similar to that of the cool official on the bed, only a bathing robe was slightly hidden.

Xue Shao, who had long been ignorant of the taste of meat, swallowed saliva with green light in his eyes, and retreated in fear, "Don't, don't!" ”

"If you dare to enter this door, you should have the premonition of enjoying some torture!" Princess Taiping swished coldly, "What are you rubbing, hurry up and tie it up!" ”

Linlang hugged him, first pressed Xue Shao on the bed, and then tied Xue Shao's backhand with two colored silks.

Xue Shao was angry and funny, "Presumptuous! You are so bold! …… Don't let me go yet! …… Oh mom, my aunt spares my life! ”

Princess Taiping was already lying on the bed laughing, and tears were about to come out, "Yes, yes!" Pinch it! Lick it! Bite it! As long as you don't get to cut off your children and grandchildren, give me a hard toss! …… Tell him to be happy outside, and this time he will destroy his capital!! ”

Xue Shao grinned his teeth and cramped his feet for a while, and looked up to the sky for a while and wanted to cry without tears, "The ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are a fart!" ”

……

Datang has moved its capital again.

Xue Shao still remembers the scene when he moved the capital to Luoyang last time. At that time, there was no harvest in the drought in Guanzhong, and the price of rice in Chang'an soared, and the two saints moved the capital to Luoyang with hundreds of officials.

At that time, Xue Shao was left in Chang'an, and together with Pei Xingjian, who had returned from illness, he organized soldiers and horses, preparing to go to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions. The result was that Pei Xingjian died before he left the school, and Xue Shao also retired for a time because of the conflict with Pei Yan and went to guard Pei Xingjian's tomb.

That was the time, the first emperor Gaozong Li Zhi went to Luoyang and never came back.

At that time, Xue Shao, in Xue Yuanchao's words, was the "cone in the bag" and would surely stand out sooner or later. In other words, it was just a small role at the time.

This time the capital was moved, and the "cone in the bag" of the year was at the forefront of the tens of thousands of people moving the capital. Behind him, followed by the majestic Yulin guards and horses with banners like forests.

"The jade tree in the wind is graceful. Spirited, heroic and heroic" This is Wu Zetian's Chrysostom comment given in front of the ministers.

Soon, these sixteen words spread between the two capitals. The officials and common people of the two capitals and the gentry and common people all want to see with their own eyes, what kind of demeanor is the rumored Xue Shao wearing a military uniform?

In the past, the son of Lantian was often watched, and most of them were women. But this journey of hundreds of miles from Chang'an to Luoyang has become the longest "catwalk show" in Xue Shao's life. At least hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children rushed to see with their own eyes the "jade tree in the wind, graceful." Spirited, heroic and heroic", the new secretary of the military department, the most popular young Zhuang military commander of this dynasty.

Xue Shao turned red again.

Bright red and purple, purple to shiny.

Wu Zetian is undoubtedly the big promoter behind the scenes. Xue Shao understands her intentions very well, and hopes that she will expand her popularity and influence as soon as possible after returning to the dynasty, so that she can quickly establish a solid foundation and become her right-hand man. In the army of the DPRK, he has a little fame. But the people of Liangjing are still a little strange to themselves.

With the "T runway show" of moving the capital this time, Wu Zetian easily let Xue Shao erect a new image in the hearts of the people of Liangjing.

This new image, of course, is no longer the powdery oil head of Lantian Gongzi. The sixteen-character comment given by Wu Zetian is the best footnote.

Luoyang has arrived.

Hundreds of officials were in place, each performing his duties, and the army was encamped to defend the Beijing division.

Xue Shao, the newly appointed secretary of the military department and the commander of the provisional governor's imperial forest soldiers and horses, has a lot of things to do. One of the most tricky things is that Wu Zetian urged Xue Shao to hurry up and start the matter of "changing the flag".

The people above just give orders, and the people below are anxious, which seems to be one of the most painful "fine" traditions in ancient China.

Of course, Wu Zetian could not understand better than Xue Shao how difficult it was to change the flag in the army. Not to mention other people, Xue Shao himself couldn't adapt to it.

According to the Five Elements Doctrine that the Chinese Imperial Family has inherited and believed in, the five virtues of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are commensurate. The Sui Dynasty advocated fire virtue, and most of the flags were bright red, which was also the source of the official formation of "Chinese red". The Tang Dynasty inherited from the Sui Dynasty and advocated Tude. Since it was inherited, the big red banner was not completely banned, and there were still many red flags in the Beijing division and the army. However, the costumes of the emperor and the royal family were changed to yellow, and this custom was also inherited and carried forward by successive dynasties until the fall of the Manchu Dynasty.

Wu Zetian ordered the flag to be changed, and the royal flag in the capital and the dragon flag of the commander in the army were all changed to "gold and white". Its intention is already obvious - Tude is followed by "Jinde", she wants to change Li Tang's order and change the dynasty!

If we want to revolutionize and change the dynasty, the most important thing is the support of the army. The so-called change of flag is fundamentally Wu Zetian's desire to gain the army's surrender and support.

This burden fell on Xue Shao's shoulders.

Now Xue Shao himself and the Manchu Dynasty have understood that Xue Shao will not be allowed to go to Xiazhou again but stay in the capital, not that Empress Dowager Wu does not attach importance to the important task of border defense in Xiazhou, let alone to reduce the military power and refrigerate Xue Shao. It's just that in comparison, changing the flag is a hundred times more important!

But how do you get started?

Xue Shao had a headache.

It is certainly not possible to rely on a single order from the Ministry of War. Otherwise, Wu Zetian would not have bothered and taken a big risk to transfer himself back from Xiazhou to take charge of this matter.

After thinking about it again and again, Xue Shao decided to talk to a few acquaintances first, and first probe their bottom line. It just so happened that Xue Chuyu and Li Xianyuan were about to accompany the new Xiazhou Governor Wei Zhiqi to Xiazhou to take up their posts, and Xue Shao held a good banquet to entertain them to show their affection.

After quelling the Yangzhou rebellion, Xue Chuyu was once again commended and promoted because of his outstanding military exploits, and he was already the general of the right military guard and the governor of Fengzhou, and was named an earl. Xue Rengui, who was at the time of the Three Arrows Determination of the Tianshan Mountain, was just a general of Zuo Wuwei from Sanpin, and a man from Hedong County. Now Xue Chuyu is only thirty years old, and his glory is almost surpassing his father's.

Of course, people also know that compared with Xue Rengui, who was "in the army in white", Xue Chuyu's life experience is much better. Because he has a good brother like Xue Shao, who acts as his nobleman. If not, Xue Chuyu may still be just the "Flying Riding Jade Crown" who is well-known in the Yulin Army, and he is just a seven-grade team.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

When the banquet was about to pass, Wei Zhiyuan, an "outsider", took a step ahead of him with a very interesting excuse, so that Xue Shao could have more private words with Xue Chuyu and Li Xianyuan.

"Li Xianyuan, some things about Xiazhou and Shuo Fangjun, you didn't explain them to me in detail, I don't blame you." Xue Shao got down to business, "However, that doesn't mean I don't know, I'm not angry." ”

"Uh...... Subordinates know their mistakes! Li Xianyuan's face was a little ugly. He knew that Xue Shao was a very good person to get along with in private, and it was no problem to climb on his head with a smile. Once it comes to business, Xue Rentu's glance is not a joke.

"I don't have the time to be angry with you." Xue Shao snorted coldly and said, "I'm angry with those foolish officials and generals in Shuofang. What kind of they have done, you know better than I do! ”

"Alas...... Yes, yes! Li Xianyuan cautiously only dared to nod.

"You're such a piece of shit!" Xue Shao pointed at his forehead angrily and scolded, "Anyway, you are also my military advisor and my confidant." Those people are making a mess, so can't you come forward to mediate and govern? ”

Li Xianyuan smiled bitterly and whispered: "Young marshal, you don't know what kind of image I have in front of the soldiers of the Shuofang Army. It's okay to gag, but it's not good to thunder! ”

"That's a big truth." Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh. Li Xianyuan, a half-tone military division, is just a mascot of Shuo Fangjun. Aside from the occasional "random" brilliant idea, what else can he do?

"The young marshal is wise!" Li Xianyuan salivated and laughed again.

"Don't be hippie with me." Xue Shao's face was blank, "What I told you today, you have to convey it to Liu Youqiu and Guo Yuanzhen after you go back." When I scold you, I'm actually scolding them. Got it? ”

"Understood!"

"Shuofang's border defense is as heavy as Mount Tai." Xue Shaozheng said, "You tell everyone in the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion and Shuofang Army to put away those flies and dogs' thoughts and unscrupulous deeds, so that they can do their jobs well." Although I am no longer in Xiazhou, but the military department Shangshu wants to treat one or two restless border generals, and that is also a piece of cake. ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Xianyuan only agreed, but said, "The brothers all serve the young marshal, and the young marshal's words are absolutely true." I'm afraid that the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the brothers and Wei are not in the right place, and they will make some trouble. ”

"That's what I'm worried about." Xue Shao frowned, his expression serious, "Now I will officially give you a major task." ”

"What task?"

"Cooperate with Wei to reconcile the contradictions between him and Shuofang's old department. In any case, we must not delay the major affairs of the military state because of small internal entanglements. Xue Shao said, "It's nothing more than a gag to make people happy, you should be good at this kind of thing." ”

After listening to this, Li Xianyuan's eyes rolled in contemplation for a long time, and then he smiled, "I understand, I understand!" ”

"What do you understand?" Xue Shao was a little crying and laughing.

"Anyway, I just got it!" Li Xianyuan said with a smile, "People Wei is a guest when he treats the price, this way of hospitality, the brothers of Xiaosheng and Shuo Fangjun naturally understand!" ”

Xue Shao smiled. Li Xianyuan, a dog-headed military advisor, is as bright as a mirror in his heart.

――Since Wei is a guest, who else can the host's family be?

That's the core!
