Chapter 24 The New Year's Pass
The matter was said to be done, and Li Hongji immediately stood up and rushed towards Miyagi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info asked the guards guarding the palace, and Li Hongji took out the token and said that he wanted to meet his father. The guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to inform the Son of Heaven.
Li Hongji anxiously paced and waited, this was an opportunity for him to climb up and then succeed in winning the heir, so he naturally refused to give up. He hoped that his father would accede to his request. At this time, from inside the palace, Yang Lian slowly paced out, and when he saw Li Hongji, he was slightly taken aback. But soon, Yang Lian walked over with a smile and arched his hand towards him.
"Congratulations to King Yan, congratulations to King Yan, this time when you go south to Suzhou, you will definitely be able to win and raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty." Yang Lian smiled, but Li Hongji felt that Yang Lian was smiling and not smiling, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and walked away, he didn't want to have any entanglement with Yang Lian, even if Yang Lian's actions today were beneficial to him.
Yang Lian smiled faintly, patted the dust on his body, and walked away. Leaving Li Hongji standing there with a depressed face, thinking to himself what kind of medicine did this Yang Lian take today, so inexplicable?
Li Hongji waited for a while, the guards came in a hurry, followed by a little eunuch, this little eunuch is here to lead the way, at this time, Li Jing is pacing in the study, just now Yang Lian was specially visited, and discussed the matter with him for a while, Li Jing felt that Yang Lian said very reasonable, has adopted his opinion. Li Jing, who was pacing, couldn't help but clench his fists, this time he could only succeed and not fail, the great prestige of the Tang Dynasty was in the present day.
While thinking about it, the little eunuch brought Li Hongji in, and Li Hongji was busy giving a salute and said, "Erchen has seen his father." ā
"Hehe, King Yan, come and sit down." Li Jing is in a good mood, which Li Hongji can see.
Li Hongji took two steps, stood still in front of the desk, and said, "Father, the son has an idea. ā
"Whatever idea, as long as it is reasonable, I will definitely agree." Li Jing replied.
Li Hongji was busy with Sun Sheng's discussion and said that the first was to increase the army, and Li Hongji planned to attack Suzhou by land and water. The Taihu Water Division can reach Xishan, contain Wu Yueguo's Taihu Water Division, cooperate with the army to besiege Suzhou, and if conditions permit, can also go south along the Grand Canal to cut off Wu Yueguo's reinforcements. In addition, Li Hongji proposed that the soldiers and horses from Runzhou, Xuanzhou and other places should be mobilized to attack Suzhou, and they must win.
Of course, Suzhou is a strong city, and Wu Yueguo's spies are densely scattered in the Tang Dynasty, and if you want to come to Changzhou, Jinling and other places, there must be Wu Yueguo's spies, so Li Hongji can't make a surprise attack at all to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Therefore, he can only focus on the positive, so whether the troops are enough and whether the grain and grass are enough is very important.
Li Hongji originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't expect his father to agree, saying that the sailors of Runzhou and Jinghai Institute could be allocated to Li Hongji. Li Hongji was overjoyed, if there were sailors from Runzhou and Jinghai Courtyard, the army could go south and attack the coastal cities of Wu Yueguo, and even, he could harass Wu Yueguo's Yuezhou, Xiuzhou, Mingzhou and other places, so as to contain Wu Yueguo's troops.
Li Hongji was overjoyed, and thanks a thousand thanks, he left the imperial study. Li Jing had a smile on his face and paced for a while, and then he sent someone to call Gao Ze and asked him to do something.
In the palace of King Qi, Li Jingsui was very unhappy, smashing things indiscriminately in the study, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace did not dare to take a breath, for fear of being heard by King Qi, so they were dragged out and cut on the spot. King Qi's bad mood attracted the attention of Princess Huairou, and she rushed to comfort her father.
Li Jingsui panicked in his heart, but he didn't want his daughter to worry, so he had to wave his hand and signal his daughter to go out. Princess Huairou was coquettish for a while, but in the end it was still useless, so she had to retreat.
The news that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the important town of Suzhou in Wu Yueguo could not be hidden, and soon, the news spread all over Jinling, and the news was obtained by Wu Yueguo's spies, but in two days, it reached Suzhou.
In Suzhou, Qian Wenfeng held an urgent report in his hand, and his face was cloudy. Qian Wenfeng is Qian Yuanhui's second son, and among Qian Yuanhui's sons, he is the most capable, so Qian Yuanhui did not pass on the position to his eldest son. In fact, Wu Yueguo did not pass on the throne in the order of the eldest son, in troubled times, Qian Biao believed that when the virtuous people lived in it, Wu Yueguo could survive forever, so Wu Yueguo's throne was mostly shot according to the level of ability.
Qian Wenfeng's father, Qian Yuanhui, almost inherited the throne of Qian Bi at the beginning, which shows his outstanding ability, and Qian Wenfeng followed his father to guard Suzhou at a young age, from the lowest soldier to the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, which shows that he is extraordinary.
Suzhou used to be the front line of the battle between Yang Wu, Li Tang and Wu Yueguo, but the battle between the two sides was particularly interesting, the war that took place in the area of Suzhou, all the attackers failed, including Yang Xingmi and Xu Wen tried to capture Suzhou, and also included the counterattack after the Wu Yue people thwarted the opponent's attack, they tried to capture Changzhou, but they also ended in failure.
Two years ago, the Tang Dynasty sent Feng Yansi to lead the troops, which were easily defeated by Qian Wenfeng, and after two years of peace, there was another war in Suzhou, and judging from the news, the Tang Dynasty was going to move troops on the occasion of spring ploughing, which is undoubtedly bad news. The Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are killed, even if they are successfully repulsed, the spring ploughing in Suzhou will be greatly affected. Of course, Qian Wenfeng could choose to attack Changzhou, but to capture Changzhou, Qian Wenfeng did not have the confidence.
Su Chang is an important town on both sides, the defense is extremely tight, and most of them are elite soldiers, which will only waste money and food, but there is also an advantage to sending troops to Changzhou, that is, Changzhou's spring ploughing will also be affected. Qian Wenfeng knew that such a major event as sending troops should be reported to the lord of the country, so he wrote an excerpt and sent someone to deliver it to Hangzhou.
When the New Year was approaching, the Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue frequently transferred troops, and the matter of preparing grain and grass quickly spread through merchants, for small countries such as Nanping and Chu State, it was natural to hope that Datang and Wu Yue would fight again, so that their strength would be weakened and they could save it.
Jinling City, the New Year is approaching, the officials are becoming more and more busy, there are a lot of things that need to be reported at the end of the year, there are many things to report at the end of the year, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, etc., there are many things to report, this year's harvest, taxes, etc., must be counted and reported to the Son of Heaven. However, they had to send troops again, and the household department and the military department were even more busy.
Although Li Jingsui was depressed, he also threw himself into busy work a few days later. However, what made Li Jingsui a little strange was that since Yang Lian came to Jinling, he only showed up a few days ago, and soon took a boat north and returned to Chuzhou, saying that he had something important to do. The Chinese New Year is no longer in Jinling.
Yang Lian left in a hurry, and Li Jingsui didn't even ask Yang Lian what Yang Lian's purpose was at the court meeting that day. Although Yang Lian left, Fu Jinzhan and Zhang Qili stayed behind, and Yang Lian asked them to stay in Jinling for the New Year. Yang Lian's behavior made many people dissatisfied, such as Princess Huairou, such as Zhang Qili, but Fu Jinzhan didn't say anything, every day in Yang's mansion, commanding his subordinates to prepare New Year's goods and prepare for a good year. Fu Jinzhan was born in a famous family, and things were handled very properly, which made people unable to catch the flaws.
Nearly two days before the Chinese New Year, Jinling actually snowed heavily, one after another, the whole city was dyed white, after the heavy snow, the weather became colder.
In the imperial city, Li Jing stepped on the snow, looked at the snowflakes on the branches, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Gao Ze was on the side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the so-called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year is a good sign, why does Your Majesty sigh." ā
Li Jing shook his head and kept silent. After half a ring, he said: "Speaking of which, I also gave Yang Lian a marriage, and this Princess Huairou is not too young, and it is time to get married." ā
Gao Ze was slightly stunned and reminded: "Your Majesty, but it is rumored that Yang Lian has a wife who has not passed through the door." ā
"Hmph, a fireworks woman." Li Jing snorted coldly, his eyes were full of disdain, but Zeng Yiling was redeemed by Yang Lian in time, making his plan bankrupt, and Li Jing was slightly displeased. But then again, Yang Lian is a smart person, one is a dignified princess, the other is a fireworks woman, who is the wife, this answer is self-evident, Li Jing believes that Yang Lian will have a correct choice.
Gao Ze paused and said, "Your Majesty, that fireworks woman lives in the Yang Mansion. ā
"None of this is a thing." Li Jing was a little unhappy, what's wrong with this Gao Ze, which pot doesn't open and which pot to mention? As long as the marriage is given, will Yang Lian choose the next thing? It's just that Li Jing is waiting, waiting for Yang Lian to take the initiative to choose.
Gao Ze observed his words and knew that His Majesty was displeased, so he kept silent.
Li Jing still paced slowly, and asked again: "Today is the end of the year, have you been notified of everything that should be invited?" ā
Gao Ze nodded and said, "Your Majesty, all the princes and princesses, in addition to the King of Qi, the King of E and other royal families, the important ministers and prime ministers of the imperial court, and the Shangshu of various ministries have also been notified. ā
"Well, that's good." Li Jing nodded, suddenly remembered something again, and said, "It's a pity that Yang Lian is not here." ā
Gao Ze hesitated slightly, thought about it, and still asked: "Your Majesty, Yang Lian returned to Beijing to report on his work, but in a few days, what is the matter in Chuzhou, is it not over the New Year, and it is disrespectful to His Majesty to return to Chuzhou in such a hurry." ā
Although Gao Ze was talking about Yang Lian's words, he was a little complaining, why couldn't Li Jing hear it? Immediately snorted coldly, after all, it is the respect of the emperor, very majestic, Gao Ze was glared at by his sharp eyes, and suddenly his body shook, and he knelt down with a "poof", and said: "Your Majesty, it is the old slave who deserves to die, it is the old slave who talks a lot, and I hope that Your Majesty will punish you." As he spoke, Gao Ze slapped himself several times in a row.
Li Jing didn't rush to speak, and waited until Gao Ze slapped seven or eight times, and then said slowly: "Okay, get up." ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Ze wiped his eyes, with tears in his eyes, and stood up with a red face.
Li Jing paced for more than ten steps, and then ordered, "Pass the order, order the imperial chef in the palace, leave a copy of the food cooked, and send someone to send it to Yang Lian's mansion." ā
Gao Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Lian is not in Jinling. ā
"I know that he is not in Jinling, but the people he brought are all left in Jinling, without Yang Lian, I am afraid that the house is also cold, and sending some food is also a little bit of my heart." Li Jing said that Yang Lian is a capable courtier, so he naturally has to spend some effort to win it over.
Gao Ze didn't know why, but Yang Lian made a profit, so he arched his hand and said, "Oh! (To be continued.) )
