On the square in front of the Huaqing Palace, suddenly two horsemen came galloping, startling the inner servants and palace ladies to dodge.
"Who dares to ban a horse in the palace?" Through the snow curtain, Wang Fei couldn't see the rider's face clearly.
"Among the hundred officials, except for Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, no one dares to ride a horse in the palace." Li Mi was surprised: "Could it be that there is something wrong in Chang'an City?" ”
"In addition to the rebellion case, what else can make General Chen so flustered?" Wang Fei was confused, suddenly felt the cold wind behind his head, he turned to the side, dodged the palm wind, and grabbed his hands behind the side, sticking to a jade hand as soft as boneless. But the reaction of the sneak attacker was also very agile, and his hand did not retreat but advanced, hooking Wang Fei's eyes.
"Sister Wenxia!" Wang Fei's head flashed, and he skillfully dodged the opponent's attack.
"Tingzhou Secret Letter." The smiling Ashina Wenxia jumped in front of Wang Fei: "The Wang soldiers and horses asked me to bring it into the palace, saying that this letter is extremely urgent, and Brother Fei will protect Wang Du as soon as possible after reading it." ”
"How did my sister enter the palace?" Wang Fei asked as he opened the letter.
"I have a token from the concubine!" Ashina Wenxia leaned into Wang Fei's ear and whispered, "Brother Fei, I can do everything that Sister Xiaoyun can do." ”
Wang Fei saw that Ashina Wenxia was going to compete with Xiaoyun again, he was a little helpless, he was about to enlighten, but he was frightened by the content of the secret letter, his face turned pale and his body was cold.
"Fei Lang-kun, what's wrong?" Li Mi, who was standing in the distance and laughing at Wang Fei and Ashina Wenxia, noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"Hurry up and find Brother Dejia!" Wang Fei didn't care to answer Li Yu, and looked around, anxiously looking for Zhang Dejia's figure.
Sit precariously and overlook the ministers.
Li Longji, who was sitting on the royal couch, swept over the people in the hall with a sharp gaze, and he saw a trace of hidden darkness from Li Heng's face.
"There are four people under the Zhongshu Sect, including Genu, Chen Qing, Yang Qing, and Gao Qing, and the state affairs are heavy, so one more person should be gained. It was very appropriate for Wang Qing to recommend the Zhang brothers. Zhang Jun has served as the secretary of the Criminal Department for many years, and can enter the political hall and continue to be in charge of the Criminal Department. Li Longji is well versed in the art of power, and while suppressing the East Palace, he gave a sweet jujube to prevent the prince from jumping off the wall in a hurry.
Li Heng saw that Li Longji used Zhang Junjin to appease himself, his black face was joyless and carefree, and he secretly sneered in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what position the king has to protect into Beijing? The secretary saved a Chen Xiangguo, and maybe there will be a Wang Xiangguo in the future. Yang Guozhong gloated.
"Huh?" Li Longji was about to speak, but saw that the heavy main door was pushed open, and Chen Xuanli, who was covered with dust, and Xian Yuxiang, who was panicked, entered the main hall together.
"Your Majesty, there are many rumors in the city of Chang'an, saying that the governor of Khorasan raised 100,000 troops to invade the river in order to avenge the revenge of Talas. It is rumored that they also sent assassins to infiltrate Takuchi, Tingzhou, and Qiuzi in an attempt to assassinate our generals. Chen Xuanli was anxious.
"What!" Li Longji was furious and slapped the couch up: "Just Di Rong, dare to be so rampant!" ”
"Assassinate our generals?!" Wang Zheng saw that it was incredible at first, but he immediately reacted and glared at the crown prince angrily. Li Heng knelt on the couch, disdainful of Wang Zhengjian's gaze.
"Your Majesty, it is imperative to distinguish the truth of the rumors." Li Linfu was the first to calm down and point out the crux of the problem.
"General Chen, Xian Yu Fu Yin, is the news reliable?" Li Longji sat down slowly.
"Your Majesty, there are very many rumors in the West Market, and there are noses and eyes. Weichen rushed to Huaqing Palace and met Chen Da on the way
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) General, only to know that Long Wujun also spied on the same movement. "It's seldom to report the truth.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he should order Hezhong, Beiting, and Anxi Jinju Yuan to contact Moxi as soon as possible to distinguish the true from the fake." Chen Xuanli proposed a solution.
"Your Majesty, Feng Changqing, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, will report the military situation of the four towns of Anxi through the post station every three days, and it happened to be sent yesterday. If there is an urgent military situation, Qiuzi will send a carrier pigeon emergency report. At present, Wechen has not received any news. Gao Xianzhi replied.
"Most of the rumors in the market are unreliable!" Yang Guozhong remembered that he was slandered as the mastermind of Li Linfu's assassination, and he was extremely disgusted by the rumors.
As soon as Yang Guozhong's words fell, a small crack opened in the back door of the main hall, and Zhang Dejia stepped into the hall lightly and beckoned to two small yellow doors. Not long after, two notes were sent to Gao Lishi and Wang Zhengjian respectively.
"Your Majesty, Shi Duhuan, the president of the North Court, and Yuan Zaifei, the judge of the North Court, reported that on November 20, many groups of men and horses infiltrated Tingzhou and besieged the military village in the western suburbs. The soldiers of Beiting fought back and wiped out more than 400 enemies. When the deputy capital escorted Cheng Qianli out of the city to rescue, he suddenly encountered an assassin and died of poisoning. After investigation, it was verified that most of the enemies were big cannibals, and there were also Hui Hui, Gelulu, Xi and other bandits. After Wang Zheng finished reading it, he presented it to Gao Lishi and handed it over to Li Longji.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Daobin, the supervisor of the North Court, reported that on the evening of November 20, the wind and snow were blowing, and the sound of killing in the west of the city shook the sky. Cheng Qianli, the deputy capital of the North Court, and Yuan Zai, the judge, led their troops out of the city, but were attacked by assassins who infiltrated the city, and Cheng Qianli was killed. The assassin escaped from the West Gate, and according to his visit to the West Gate of Tingzhou, the bandits were all cannibals. Gao Lishi whispered Zhang Daobin's secret.
"I can't help myself!" Li Longji was extremely angry at the offending behavior of the black-clothed eater: "Abu? What about the news of Muslim Kobian? ”
"Hezhong is farther away from Jingshi than Tingzhou, even if you use flying pigeons to pass the book, you have to wait two or three days." Ashina Yang hurriedly returned.
"Father, in order to ensure the stability of the river, we should order Wang Duhu and Ashina Jie Shuai to return to the west to preside over the overall situation and prevent the invasion of black-clothed food." Li Heng advised.
"Return to Moxi?" Li Longji knocked on the armrest of the imperial couch and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Nu, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, when the winter is not a time to use troops, most of the 100,000 troops are lying to the side. However, according to the old minister's reading of the Western Expedition, the governor of Khorasan, Abu? It is not impossible for Muslim to be cunning and to move against the season. When it comes to militaristic politics, Li Linfu is extremely cautious, and his words are ambiguous: "Judging from the assassination of Cheng Qianli, the black-clothed Dashi is indeed offended. ”
"I'm asking what to do!" Li Longji was displeased.
"Hmm......" Li Linfu suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time, thinking that he understood why Wang Zhengjian wanted to give him the Snow Lotus Pill and why he strictly controlled the supply of the pills.
"The military situation is urgent, and the old minister thinks that Wang Duhu and Ashina should be ordered to return to the west immediately. As for Anxi, an edict can be issued to order Feng Changqing to take over as the envoy of the four towns and take strict precautions. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Li Linfu made up his mind. It is important to seek the position of protector of the North Court for his cronies, but it is insignificant compared to his own lifespan. Moreover, through the court discussion, Li Linfu not only determined that the saint had the heart of Yi Chu, but also noticed that there was a rift between Wang Zhengjian and the East Palace, so he chose to let Wang Zhengjian return to the North Court.
"What about Yang Qing?"
"The minister agrees with what Li Xiang said." Yang Guozhong longed for An Lushan and Wang Zhengjian to stay on the border forever.
"General Gao?" Li Longji is still hesitant.
"Your Majesty
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) below, should we seek the opinions of Wang Duhu and Ashina Jie Shuai himself? Colliers couldn't figure out the depth of this matter, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.
"Ashinaqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, a few months ago, in order to punish the intrusion of the black-clothed food on the border, the Hezhong army crossed the Wuhu River and penetrated deep into Khorasan. Wanting to assassinate our generals is a revenge act by the black-clothed food. As for the 100,000-strong army of Koubian, the minister thought that the Khorasan army did not have such a force. But thirty or twenty thousand enemy troops harassed, when it was possible. Weichen is willing to return to the west on the same day and return to Tuozhi City to defend. ”
"Good!" Li Longji turned to Wang Zhengjian: "What about Wang Qing?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, with the heart of Weichen, I am willing to stay in Chang'an as the secretary and supervisor. However, Deputy Cheng was killed, and Du Changshi was a civil servant, and the minister had to beg to return to Tingzhou to deal with military affairs. Since the minister's family has arrived in Beijing, there is no need to go back, and it will not be long before they will return to Beijing to take up their posts. Wang Zheng thought about it and had to choose to focus on the overall situation of Beiting, but he euphemistically expressed his desire to return to Beijing to Li Longji.
Wang Qing's children are all in Chang'an, so the family doesn't have to run around. However, Wang Qing does not have to be impatient, two years will pass in a blink of an eye, and then there will be another discussion about the border generals entering Beijing, and Wang Qing still has a chance. Li Longji was full of smiles, and he was very satisfied with Wang Zhengjian's attitude.
Li Longji had the intention to keep Wang Zhengjian in Beijing and completely cut off the involvement between the East Palace and the border town. But as the emperor who ruled the four seas, he could not care about the safety of the frontier. As soon as Cheng Qianli died, there was no suitable candidate to replace Wang Zhengjian in the west of the city, and if generals were appointed at will, it was likely to disturb the northern court and cause unrest in the north. Besides, the prince has been established for many years, and his foundation is quite deep. Since the rule of discussing the side generals every two years has been set, it is better to let Wang Zhengjian go back to the North Court first, and then let him and Gao Xianzhi switch two years later......
The wind is fierce and the winter snow is misty.
After listening to Wang Fei's relay, Li Yu closed his eyes and sighed a few times, and solemnly explained: "Fei Langjun, the changes in Tingzhou are only known at this moment. ”
"Sir, you don't have to explain, so-and-so never doubted you." Wang Fei smiled bitterly, although he was not present at the scene, it can be seen from the secret letter sent by Du Huan that Cheng Qianli should have died at the hands of the East Palace, and the black-clothed food was the scapegoat who was deceived into the game.
"That person's intention is to force Ling Zun to return to the North Court and continue to boost his momentum." Li Mi said in one word.
"How can we be convinced if we are not virtuous?"
"The king of benevolence with virtue, and the hegemony of the benevolent with strength. A certain heart persuaded him to follow the royal road, but he was greedy and domineering. Li Mi stretched out his palm and felt the icy crystal of the snowflakes with his skin: "The human heart is sinister, and I really want to follow the example of Liuhou, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, alchemy and cultivation, listen to the pine waves, and sit and watch the smoke." ”
"Sir, don't you return?"
"Why did Fei Langjun come to Chang'an?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
"Two or three years later, if the four seas are calm and the center is stable, the kid will settle in Tingzhou or Broken Leaves, and concentrate on running Suyeju." Wang Fei said with emotion.
"Is Fei Langjun going to go into hiding with beauty?" Li Mi teased and said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I am worried that Fei Langjun will not be able to leave Chang'an in two years." ”
"Sir, are you talking about the battle for storage positions?" Wang Fei lowered his voice.
"This is one of them." Li Mi did not deny it.
"And what about the second one?"
"Fei Langjun, don't you think that there has been a lot of rain and snow in Guanzhong since the beginning of autumn?"
"Rain and snow?" Wang Fei looked up at the dense flying snow, first confused, and then shocked.
