Chapter 296: Peach Blossom Flooding
Not to mention that things gather people in groups, just as Xue Shao was pondering the special value of the little she-wolf in his heart, Pei Xingjian was also smiling, like an old fox who was planning a treacherous plan.
Xue Shao suddenly felt a little bad in his heart when he saw his strange expression, and asked cautiously: "Pei Gong, what do you want to do with that little princess?" β
Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Ashwinfu has always wanted the princess to marry his son, and his son also loves the princess to death, but the princess doesn't like Ashwin's son very much. The reason for this is that although the princess has returned to the grassland with her father for several years, she grew up in Chang'an when she was a child. She has Turkic blood in her veins, but her behavior, living habits and all aspects are very close to our Tang people, and she has a bit of aristocratic demeanor, so her vision is naturally high. Therefore, she simply could not accept the native Turks. When Ashdwin came to intercede, the princess rebuked his son mercilesslyβstupid, crude, dirty, and stinking of sheep and horses! β
Xue Shaoha's big smile came, "Could it be that Pei Gong means that she likes men in the Central Plains?" β
Pei Xingjian also laughed together, "Just let you make a beautiful man's plan, how about it?" β
Xue Shao immediately stopped laughing, the old fox was really beating my idea, so he hurriedly waved his hand!
"No, no! I've heard her scold Lantian Gongzi to her face, and I'm almost ashamed of myself! Pei Gong, you really dare to do any trick! Military affairs, you dare to use beautiful men? β
Pei Xingjian said with a smile, "You think, if we put Fu Nian and the princess back together, Ashdwin Fu's son will definitely be overjoyed, and then run to pay his respects." But when he found out that the princess had another man, wouldn't he be annoyed and angry? The princess is also the righteous daughter of Fu Nian, doesn't there is a lot to be done in the middle, which can exacerbate their differentiation and provoke their contradictions? β
Xue Shaozhi scratched his head, he knew that what Pei Xingjian said was a good plan.
The essence of war is cruelty. In the Art of War, Sun Tzu clearly said that "the soldier's trickery" - don't talk about righteousness and brightness, that's pedantic! The art of war is the one that can take out the enemy.
Therefore, military and war, in fact, really have no glory at all, to put it bluntly, it is your life and death to kill people - it is all to the sake of killing, how can there be any fairness and justice and goodness at all?
The so-called justice and evil are all whitewashed by people with a position using Spring and Autumn brushwork after the victory or defeat of the war.
As a generation of famous marshals, Pei Xingjian would privately say this kind of slightly "inferior" strategy to Xue Shao, but in fact, militarily speaking, it is not a big deal at all. The old man's duty is to plan for military affairs, what is it to sacrifice a little man's color and the emotions of a little daughter?
When the time comes, thousands of people can be sacrificed for a final victory!
"Of course, this matter does not have to be forced." Pei Xingjian said, "If this plan doesn't work, the old man still has other ways to achieve discord." The old man only thinks about it in the long run, and he can't let the only princess of the Ashina family marry on the grassland. If it is married to the son of Ashdwin Fu, it is even worse. Otherwise, it will greatly contribute to the prestige of the rebels. As soon as they give birth to sons, they will be able to make a big fuss and use them to agitate and win over the various tribes of the steppe. β
Xue Shao thought it through in his heart, so he said to the old fox: "What does Pei Gong mean is that after winning several battles with the Turks, I will be responsible for sending Fu Nian and the princess back to the Turkic steppe?" β
"You're smart." The old fox smiled and nodded, "The son of Lantian who attacked the black sand, dare to do this?" β
Xue Shao was both depressed and funny when he heard Pei Xingjian's words, this agitation method is really clever, and the implication is that you have pierced the black sand tooth tent in hundreds of people, and now let you, the self-proclaimed and merry Lantian son, be the messenger of victory while picking up girls to exercise countermeasures, do you dare?
Just when Xue Shao was crying and laughing and had to know how to answer, the voice of the moon slave sounded outside the door, "Pei Gong, the moon slave is rude." Just because a guest visited the son, the moon slave dared to report it. β
Pei Xingjian hurriedly said: "This matter is not in a hurry to discuss later, you go to meet the guests first." β
"It's fine. The student took his leave. Pei Gong was born early and rested, take care of his body. Xue Shao couldn't help but want to slip away, so he bowed and retired first.
When he went out, Yuenu said that Liu Sima had come to visit overnight.
Xue Shao smiled knowingly, Liu Sima came to visit privately at this time, which can be regarded as the way of human beings to be officials, just deal with it.
Since he was going to guard the Dadu Governor's Mansion for a period of time, Xue Shao temporarily chose a place in the back house of the Dadu Governor's official office to live in the side courtyard that Li Chongyi used to entertain guests, and cleaned and cleaned it again, and the environment was quite quiet.
Liu Sima saw Xue Shao coming back and bowed to him, and called Engong with gratitude, and he couldn't wait to express his gratitude.
On that day, Liu Sima was beaten in the face by a horse lance and was not lightly injured, and now there are still some bruises and hematomas, which is quite embarrassing. However, this little old man treats people and things kindly, and is a typical gentle elder, and anyone who gets along with him will feel good.
After greeting a few words, Liu Sima told Xue Shao about the urgent need to solve within the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, especially some important government affairs related to army logistics. His words are sincere and modest, just like the attitude of his subordinates when they ask for instructions and report to their superiors.
Xue Shao had a good impression of this Liu Sima, and after discussing and solving these government affairs, Liu Sima didn't dare to disturb more, and immediately asked for his resignation.
Before leaving, according to some "unspoken rules" of officialdom, Liu Sima naturally wanted to leave a gift, but it was obvious that he came empty-handed today. Xue Shao didn't care, after all, he was not a native of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't value these things.
However, Liu Sima obviously did not have the same idea as Xue Shao, and when he was leaving, he glanced at the moon slave standing beside him, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Xue Shao understood, smiled and motioned for the moon slave to go out.
Liu Sima said at this time: "I have heard the name of Xue Gongzi for a long time, and the heavenly spring is noble and the dragon and phoenix are instrumental, and the young man is galloping. Now that the prince is here, the lower officials should be filial, but the lower officials have always had no accumulating millet and no famous painting treasures. There is only one foster daughter in the family, the daughter of my own sister who died early, she has never been out of the cabinet at the age of sixteen, she was born a little bit of beauty, and she has studied literature and calligraphy since childhood, and has a gentle and virtuous temperament. If the son does not dislike it, ask the woman to hold the broom for the son. β
Liu Sima is a typical Confucian scholar, the words are elegant and tactful, the original meaning of the broom is that after a woman marries into her husband's family, she sweeps the floor with a broom, and later extended to refer to the wife.
Xue Shao smiled, I said Why did you come empty-handed, it turned out that you were going to offer a niece to warm my bed. In the eyes of people in the 21st century, this seems like a very inferior "sexual bribery", but it is really not surprising in the Tang Dynasty. Earlier, didn't the son of Lantian often exchange concubines with fox friends like Li Xianyuan to play, and now Liu Sima is still offering his niece who has never been out of the cabinet, which is already very respectful of Xue Shao, a famous son from the capital.
"Liu Sima is very grateful for his kindness." Xue Shao smiled and said, "But Liu Sima knows that I have already made a marriage contract with Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, and I will soon get married?" β
"Of course the lower officials know the way, of course they know the way!" Liu Sima hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan doesn't dare to climb the son, if the son can take Xiaguan's niece who has been dead since he was a child and has a poor background, as a concubine, and give him a place to stay, give him coarse tea and light rice to wrap his stomach in the morning and evening, Xiaguan will be very grateful!" β
Xue Shao muttered in his heart, now accept this little concubine, so many brothers in the army around him, officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Pei Gong, they are not very affected by them; Don't accept it, it's really impossible to say that the meat that the big man sent to his mouth won't be eaten, and Liu Sima's kindness can't be hung on his face! β¦β¦
Yue Nu was a little suspicious after being blasted out, so he didn't go far away from the door and his hearing was outstanding, and he heard what Liu Sima said to Xue Shao in the room.
General An hated itchy, and scolded in his heart: Okay, you seem to be loyal and honest Liu Sheng, it turns out that you are also a bad old man, and you want to make a cheap favor here with Gongzi by offering a niece who is not close to you, and climb this high branch. That's fine, it's understandable that the little magistrate of Bingzhou wants to tie up with the Tiangong nobles who came from the capital. The damn thing is, isn't there one more person coming to me to grab the pillow?!
Just when she was angry, a woman appeared around the corner in front of her, who came alone in the middle of the night with a lantern in her hand, and was wearing a pleated flower and bird skirt with red and willow green, with her breasts half exposed.
Merriam-Webster, here it is.
Yuenu hated her even more when she saw her, and she put on this coquettish appearance in the middle of the night to find her son, what do you want to do?!
"Stop!"
General An, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped forward a few steps forward and shouted, stopping Wei Shi.
In the middle of the night, he couldn't see clearly, and Wei Shi thought that the moon slave was a guard standing outside Xue Shao's door, so he didn't think so. At this time, when she heard the voice, she realized that Lu Dao was a woman, she was shocked on the spot, and then immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be a heroine, what a sassy and heroic!" β
"What are you doing here?" The moon slave has no good feelings for her, and is cold and hostile.
"It's all her own, why should the girl be so hostile to the slave family?" Wei Shi still smiled and said, "I have an appointment with Xue Gongzi, no, of course I came to the appointment." β
"Childe, have an appointment with you?" The moon slave frowned, I don't believe that the son will ask you to kill me!
"Of course." Merriam-Webster said solemnly, "Otherwise, how could I have taken the liberty of coming?" β
"......" Yuenu pouted, but since it was "Childe has an appointment", she couldn't stop it, so she threw down a sentence of "Then wait", and ignored her.
Webster was at ease, and stood in the courtyard waiting.
After a short time, Wei Sima arched his hand and withdrew, looking like a spring breeze. When the moon slave saw his expression, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, could it be that the son accepted his niece?
Xue Shao sent Liu Sima to the door, and saw a figure standing in the courtyard, so he asked Yuenu: "Who is that?" β
Before the words fell, Wei Shi came forward with a shaky face, and said in a sweet and greasy voice with a peach blossom face: "Master Xue, the slave family is here to pay a visit!" β
Xue Shao's scalp was numb, why wasn't Wei's fox spirit taken away by Tang Huaibi? What day is today, before Pei Gong asked me to make a beautiful man's plan, and then Wei Sima sent his niece to warm the bed, and now he took the initiative to bring a fox spirit! β¦β¦ It's also a trouble for this man to be handsome and an official, even if I don't mess with flowers, there will be peach blossoms around me.
When Yue Nu saw Xue Shao's expression, she knew that Wei must have lied to her, and Gongzi would definitely not make an appointment with her. So she was very annoyed, stepped forward and blocked between Xue Shao and Wei, and with a "boom" the sword was unsheathed by more than three inches.
"Stop!"
Wei Shi was shocked by the murderous aura of the children and men who burst out of the moon slave Dou Ran, and Dou Ran's face changed when he stopped, and he panicked: "Don't, don't kill me!" I have no ill intentions! β
"Put away your weapons." Xue Shao used the voice of the army to give orders, and said quite majestically: "Mrs. Wei came to visit at night, I don't know what you have to do?" β
The moon slave snorted and stood aside, still staring at Webster.
Seeing the posture of the tigress of the moon slave, and hearing Xue Shao's businesslike tone again, Wei also restrained his coquettish posture, gave a salute, and said: "After the slave family went back, I thought about it again and again, and found that there were still important things that I didn't say to Xue Gongzi. And so, here comes it. β
"Then you can say it!" Xue Shao stood at the door and said.
"This! ......" Webster hesitated around his eyes, "How can you say that it is so public?" β
"Okay, please come in." Xue Shao said, "Moon slave, serve tea." β
"Yes." The moon slave has a big heart, a slut, do you still want to be alone with the son, a lonely man and a widow, and then find a chance to take the initiative to give her arms? Save it, Childe is not interested in a coquettish slut like you!
Wei Shi entered the room with some difficulty, Xue Shao was completely businesslike, invited her to sit in the moon slave to serve tea, and then said, "Mrs. Wei, please tell me what you have to say now." β
Wei Shi looked at Xue Shao who was sitting on his left side, and looked at the cold Moon Slave on the right, the slightest coquettish thoughts he had before were almost gone, and he said curtly: "Li Xiantong, you have dissolved your marriage with me." β
The moon slave is sneering, this is your private matter, who is the matter?
"Hmm." Xue Shao said disapprerovingly, "And then?" β
"Then, that Lu clan mixed up with Li Xiantong again." Webster was a little indignant, "That woman is too scheming, I can't fight her after all." β
Xue Shao was patient, "Madame, can you say something useful?" β
"I think ......" Wei hesitated a little, and said cautiously: "Li Chongyi may ......"
"What could be?" Xue Shao really showed patience.
The moon slave was very annoyed, how could this slut have anything important to say, it was clear that she had nothing to say, and she was blindly selling Guanzi!
So she said angrily, "If you have something to say, please say it, and if you don't have anything to say, please do it." It's getting late, and Childe is going to rest! β
"I think it's very likely that Li Chongyi won't be able to reach the capital alive!"
Merriam-Webster, the words are amazing!.
