Chapter 345: Someone from Tokyo
In the words of the spear, it was a little uncontrollable Fu Fu Xianggong, Xu Wei Sun Zhi withdrew his hand in a panic, turned around and walked back, and lifted a teapot from the west wall, feeling that the weight was wrong. When I opened the lid, I saw that there was not even a drop of water. What's going on?
Lifting another handful, there were still a few mouthfuls of water left, and he poured it for Li Gang, and handed the teacup to him. Relieved: "Sit down and eat tea." ”
How can Li Gang be in the mood to eat tea? took the teacup and put it on the table, and said anxiously: "Ziang! When is it? You say, yes or no! ”
Xu Wei stood tall with his right hand on the hilt of the knife. Li Gang only noticed at this time that the Purple Gold Tiger, who had never carried a blade, actually chose a knife in his waist! It seems that the time has really come! He moved his gaze up and landed on Xu Jiu's face, eagerly waiting for an answer. He very much hoped that the youngest marshal of Shaanxi Sixth Road could turn the situation around again. At that time, the Jin army was only 200 miles away from Tokyo. How critical? But Xu Jiu took the grain and died. Isn't it also forced to leave and not be cornered? Why not this time? Can't you rob him again?
But Xu Wei shook his head after all,
He still didn't give up, and stepped forward and said: "Although there is only one army left around Chang'an now, there are 20,000 horses under the command of Taiwei in the city, and the current appearance can be urgently increased from Qin Feng!" Even if it's not much, it's always a solution! ”
Xu Wei grabbed the knife and didn't speak, Li Gang was so anxious that he was helpless, and stomped his feet and said, "Ziang, I want to say something!" ”
Xu Weiwang wanted to speak, but he heard the noise outside, the Xuanfu Division was in chaos like this, and those officials of the departments were probably still gathered outside, and it was not surprising that the noise was uproar. But the voice was getting higher and higher, mixed with a few vague words, and Xu Wei listened to it. It seems to be saying something like "that is, "it is coming", "it represents staying behind", categorically "public grievances" and so on. Before he could figure out what was going on, the door that was covered was vigorously pushed open, and Wang Shu, the judge of Xuanfu, rushed in. Gu Bu was stunned by the displeasure on Li Gang's face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xuan Xiang, a member from Tokyo!" ”
Xu Wei turned sideways, from Tokyo? Now the third uncle is staying in Tokyo, which means that he sent someone? What are you here for? I saw Wang Shu present a letter, and Li Gang grabbed it and opened it to read. Xu Wei saw that his face was uncertain, and occasionally raised his head to look at himself, "Could it be that someone is here and has something to do with him?"
Li Gang looked at the letter: "Taishi Xu sent someone from Tokyo to Shaanxi. Serve as an envoy to Shaanxi. ”
In this official system of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the formation of customized prime ministers, privy envoys, and three marshals, there are also complicated and temporary "makes" and "makes" Xu Wei has not yet figured out. But since the third uncle has sent some envoys. There must be a reason for it, and let's see who it is.
Li Gang had already asked Wang Shu to invite this "Shaanxi Fu Envoy" in, and Xu Wei looked at the door. After a while, a person came in proudly, he was not much older than Xu Wei, and he was good-looking! High eyebrows and straight nose, long face, eyes with the light of bright stars, eyebrows like a sword of struggle, wearing the vermilion regular clothes of officials above the fifth grade, wearing a top and feet on his head, although he also has a gold belt tied around his waist. But he was still wearing a whitebait bag. Go to the middle of the hall to stand a station, a dignified table, full of energy.
The man bowed to Li Gang and praised in his mouth: "I have seen Xuanfu Xianggong in my humble position. ”
"Your envoy has come from afar to toil, and there is no need to be formal." Li Gang nodded.
The man faced Xu Wei again and smiled: "I have seen the lowly and slightly fair." ”
When Xu Wei saw him, he was taken aback at first. After thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Sixth brother." "Who do you say this man is? It is Xu Shao's second son. Xu Liang, who is ranked sixth in the second generation of the Xu family! Unlike most of the brothers of the Xu family, who joined the army and held military positions, Xu Liang studied since he was a child, and even won the title of the gold list in previous years and was admitted to the Jinshi. Because of Xu Shao, the Son of Heaven did not let him go. Serve directly in the Privy Council.
When Xu Shao was left behind in Tokyo and could not go there, he stayed with his father and served as the official of the Left-behind Division. The fall of Langyan was extremely concerned about the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and Li Gang reported to ask for instructions on whether to retreat to Qinlong. Although Xu Shao was unwilling to take responsibility, he pushed the hot potato back. But I really couldn't let go of it, and I was afraid that my three nephews would not handle it properly at this critical juncture, so after careful consideration, I sent my second son as the "Shaanxi Fu Yu Envoy" to represent the left-behind division.
This edict can also be seen from the literal meaning. Fu is to appease, and to edict is to proclaim. In other words, Xu Liang is the envoy. It is on behalf of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, or even on behalf of the Imperial Court. Coming to Shaanxi to appease officials, the military and civilians, and declaring the above principles and policies, basically belongs to the category of research.
As soon as Xu Liang came, the dialogue between Li Gang and Xu Wei had to be interrupted. After the three of them sat down, Wang Shu didn't leave, and sat down with him. Although Xu Liang's rank was not high, and the envoy did not have the power to interfere in military and political affairs, he was after all representing the Tokyo Left-behind Division, which was ordered by the official family to preside over the military and political affairs in the north on behalf of the imperial court. Therefore, as the supreme governor of Shaanxi, Li Gang's first thing is to inform Xu Liang of the current situation in Zhulu in Shaanxi.
However, before Li Gang could speak, Xu Liang had already asked: "What is the matter with the gathering of thousands of people outside this government office?" ”
Li Gang had a cramp in his head, held his forehead, and did not reply. Seeing this, Wang Shu told Xu Liang of the Xuanfu Division's decision to "retreat to Qinlong". When the latter heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, Li Gang was really bold, did he really dare to do such a stabbing thing? If you do this, even if we leave behind the division and let you go, can Zhenjiang Xing let you go?
"Prime Minister Xuan, ask a lot of lowly questions, has it really come to that point?" Xu Liang asked.
Li Gang withdrew his hand, leaned back in the chair, and said with a wry smile: "Then you have to ask your cousin." "He is now riding a tiger, and the decision to retreat to Qin Long was made by him, and before he started, the news made people poke out. The opposition was so loud, even though he had always been decisive and resolute. It is also a dilemma.
Xu Liang didn't know why, but he didn't ask. Seeing this, Li stood up and said, "No matter what. You have to persuade the people to quit first, and you don't come forward. Forgive them for refusing to disperse. After finishing speaking, he put on the black veil and walked straight out. When Wang Shu was merging, he stopped, and the latter understood, followed the footsteps, and walked out of the second hall. He went out, and it seemed that he had greeted the officials of the various divisions again, and anyway, there was a lot of dissipation outside.
Treating people as poisonous, Xu Liang hurriedly sat down next to his cousin and asked, "Where is the eldest brother?" ”
"I have returned to Jingyuan, and now around Chang'an, only the Shaanxi and Chinese armies remain, and the Jurchens have more than 100,000 armor. Desire to pass the plains. Xu Wei replied in a flat tone.
Xu Liang couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and he came with me, just in time to plunge into the land of tigers and wolves?
