Chapter 67: Truthfulness
In the same place, the situation in Gaofu naturally couldn't be hidden from Yang Guozhong's eyes, and someone came to report to him early in the morning.
"What? Before you even entered the palace gate, you entered the palace? ”
"That's true, it's not just him, but also the guards of the Fengfu who just went to Beijing, this time they have already arrived in the palace, and I heard that Ge Shuhan and Cheng Qianli were also receiving them together."
"Are these three the only ones?"
Xian Yuxiang asked carefully.
"There are only three of them."
"Zhongtong, what else do you have to say?" Yang Guozhong asked puzzled.
"It doesn't make sense." Xian Yuxiang stroked his beard and paced a few steps: "The three of them are the heroes of this battle, and it is the proper meaning of the question to be edicted, but why is it not the day of the prisoner's sacrifice?" What is the purpose of this year? ”
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the Tibetan system?"
"Remember." As soon as he said this, Yang Guozhong was angry.
"The person who captured Tubo Zampu and named the king with a different surname, this is an edict to the world, everyone knows it, in the eyes of the lower officials, the reason why there has been no conclusion for a long time, is this, our son of heaven does not know, who should be awarded this throne."
Xian Xiangyu said in a flat tone: "So, there is today's meeting." ”
"It's not Ge Shuhan, who else will there be, a certain family heard Sanniang say that the Supreme even wrote the edict."
"Without the door of the Chinese book, you can't do it, and if you don't make an announcement, there are variables, and who can really know the mind of the Son of Heaven."
This is reasonable, Yang Guozhong empathizes, no one in Chang'an City knows that his phase is a certainty, but it has been delayed until now, and it is not accurate, but it is not a variable.
"Has the doctor asked how many Mrs. Guo?"
"Sanniang entered the palace yesterday, and the Supreme passed a sentence to him, but when he listened to it, he always felt that it was wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong."
"Oh, what does the Supreme say, can you tell me?"
"The Supreme asked her to pass the word, what to say, it is his after all, and let someone be a little quiet, what does this mean, could it be that the Supreme has remorse and wants to change the appearance of others?"
Xian Xiangyu walked back and forth, silently reciting those words in his mouth, muttered for a moment, and suddenly stopped.
"What was the expression on Mrs. Qiu's face when she said this?"
This...... Yang Guozhong didn't know how to answer him, the woman's expression after being entertained? Xian Yuxiang knew that he had asked the wrong question, so he quickly added.
"Is it serious or joking?"
"It's not like it's serious." Yang Guozhong said squeaked.
"That's bad."
Yang Guozhong was stunned: "How do you want to say this?" ”
"Mrs. Qiuguo was ordered to speak, she will naturally know Your Majesty's thoughts that day, if it is a word of comfort, it can only be regarded as a joke, but why does Your Majesty want to comfort the doctor?"
"Because his heart is shaken!" Yang Guozhong couldn't hear the meaning of this at this time.
"Don't worry too much about the doctor, the mind of the Son of Heaven is the most unpredictable, maybe he wants to try the doctor's reaction......"
"Or maybe he hasn't found anyone to take his place in a particular place."
Yang Guozhong smashed his fist on a few points with hatred, shaking the cup on it for a while.
"Then today's meeting will be interesting." Xian Yu said leisurely.
"Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing, which one will it be?"
"Maybe someone else."
Xian Yuxiang's words made him think about it for a long time before he came out of his mouth word by word.
"An, Lu, Shan!"
Xian Yuxiang said it well, in terms of qualifications, An Lushan, who has been crowned king for several years, is the one with the heaviest weight, no matter which aspect he considers, he should be the first person in the emperor's mind.
In the three-story hall of the diligent government building, the three marshals who led the war sat on both sides, the two towns of Hexi and Longyou made Ge Shuhan alone, Anxi Feng Changqing and Beiting Cheng Qianli were opposite him, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, sat upright, and the two palace maids behind him played two hundred birds and phoenix feather screens, and the most powerful eunuch in the palace, Gao Lishi, stood at the bottom of the steps.
"All the sages are gathered, how fortunate I am, this first cup, I should respect all the emperors, ancestors and ancestors."
He picked up the cup, saluted from afar, and the three of them raised their glasses together and prayed in the air.
"The second cup, to those Tang warriors who sleep forever."
Following his movements, the crowd spilled wine on the ground.
"This third cup, to you, my tiger tooth and wolf claw."
The three of them stood up together and accepted it.
Putting down the cup, Li Longji waved his hand to sit down, glanced at Ge Shuhan, and then looked at the two people on the other side.
"After the salute is over, I should tell the merits, before the war, I promised a throne, but now, one took the capital of the Tubo people, and the other forced to land the Tubo people's Zampu, I don't know, who should this throne be given to, Ge Shuhan, Feng Qing, you tell me, who should be given it?"
The two of them were stunned, no one expected that a huge proposition was casually thrown out by the king, and it felt like two brothers sharing a piece of cake, so easy.
Feng Changqing stood up and hurriedly replied: "As the book says, the person who captures Tubo Zampu can be crowned the king with a different surname, although the minister is lucky to capture some cities, but without the assistance of Doctor Geshu, it is difficult to hold it, and Tubo Zanpu is not because of the fall of the capital. ”
Ge Shuhan took a step slowly, and then replied: "The Tubo people lost the capital, and the army had no fighting spirit, this is because, although the minister led the army to arrive, but there was no battle to fight, they had to surrender under the poverty, this is the result, in the final analysis, the commander is the first meritorious minister, how can the minister take the merit of others as his own responsibility, I hope that Your Majesty will judge." ”
"It's hard." Li Longji frowned: "Since ancient times, there has only been merit, but my courtiers are vying for merit, there is only one throne, I have already broken the case once, and there will be no second time, otherwise the world still thinks that the throne of my dynasty can be granted casually." ”
"Cheng Qing, you are a bystander, tell me, who should you be on this throne?"
Cheng Qianli mentioned himself coldly, thought for a while, and got up to reply.
"Then it depends on who deserves it."
Li Longji stared at him for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Back to Your Majesty, what the two said has its own reason, the minister has been following the Feng Shuai march, so it is clearer, long before the fall of some cities, the Tubo people have the intention of peace, the two sides reached an agreement under the Gongtang City, this matter will make Zhang Shaoqing very informed, presumably there is also a play, Feng Shuai is the first opportunity to the enemy, unexpected, taking advantage of the Tubo people to think that the peace treaty has been made, carelessly, light troops attacked, in one fell swoop to take some cities, such a decisive, not within the reach of the minister, to say a fair word, without the wisdom of the commander, everything behind is impossible to talk about, therefore, The minister thought that the reward for the throne could only be dictated by His Majesty's Sacred Heart, but the first merit of this war, as Dr. Geshu said, was none other than the commander. ”
Feng Changqing was terrified when he heard this, these words seemed to be praised, but he couldn't argue, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
Because every word the other party says is true.
