The eighteenth palm of the secret letter of Chang'an
Orange saw that everyone planted a small red flag and rode a mule to run around, and he felt abandoned in a trance. and then slapped himself hard, these are all brothers who can stick a knife in both sides, how can they leave themselves alone.
Tong'an, the last one to ride a mule, saw that Orange was still standing in a daze, and reminded him: "Hey, Orange, you go to the Yiwu family to help Mr. watch it, let's go to pass the medicine king's order, you are not allowed to go before we come back, do you hear?!" ”
"Oh." It turned out that they were going to pass on the medicine king's order.
The crowd ran twenty miles, then turned back, changed the route and continued to shout. When the sun was about to set, everyone returned, and the first thing they said when they came back was: "Has anyone come to deliver medicine?" "It's a pity that so far there hasn't been a single one.
This psyllium is a very common herb, and the reason why it is difficult to find is because this psyllium must be picked in late autumn and early winter, and the grass seeds picked at other times are basically not ripe, and the value of medicine is not great. Tong'an, they have been guarding here, one will enter the house to see the messenger, and the other will squat at the door to see if someone has delivered medicine. Until the afternoon of the next day, an old farmer in tattered straw sandals came slowly, carrying a handful of withered grass in his hand. The thin monkey had sharp eyes, and he could see that it was psyllium from afar, and loudly beckoned the others to go out accordingly.
The old man said tremblingly: "Last night, I heard my daughter-in-law say that Yao Wang Ling is psyllium, and it just so happens that the old man has it at home." I got up at dawn today to send it, but unfortunately my body bones were not good, so I walked straight to the three poles of the sun. I don't know if I'll be able to catch up? ”
"It should be in time." After Tong An finished speaking, he took the herbs and trotted to send them to Mr. Cui.
Mali decocted the potion and poured half a bowl into the messenger in one go. The messenger lay still, stiff, breathless, lifeless, like a dead man. In the early morning of the second day, Tong An was woken up by the sound of coughing, and when he looked up, they were all lying on the ground, snoring like thunder. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a cough again, he opened his eyes again, and these people were still sleeping soundly, and then he heard another cough, which came from the bed! Tong An was completely sleepy, and stood up suddenly, seeing that the messenger on the bed had woken up. He shouted in surprise: "Wake up!" He's awake! He shouted as he woke up a few people who were sleeping soundly on the ground.
"Thin monkey, you hurry up and inform Tian Gongzi, just say that the messenger is awake, let him come quickly!" Tong An instructed the thin monkey to report the news. Yesterday he briefly told Tian Gongzi about this matter, and specifically explained that he did not find any letters from the messenger. Tian Gongzi said calmly: "It should be a message, let's talk about it when he wakes up." ”
When Tian Gongzi came, the messenger was in a much better state, and he said jokingly: "When I opened my eyes yesterday, I saw a bunch of people lying on the ground, and I thought I had arrived at the palace of Hades. When he finished speaking, he laughed, ripped the wound, and grinned in pain.
Tian Xing reported to his home, and the messenger thought it was Tian Yue, but he didn't expect it to be Tian Xing. Immediately said with a straight face: "I want to see your Tianjie envoy, and I must see you immediately." ”
"When I came, my cousin seemed to be out of town." Tian Xing was not angry.
"Ahh Am I late? How long did I sleep? The messenger's face was full of surprise.
Tong An didn't speak, and stretched out two fingers.
"Two hours?" The Courier was a little unsure of how long the two fingers represented.
"It's two days." Fat Lai yawned and muttered.
"Ah, two days! You're mistaking me! Go and stop the envoy of Tian Jiedu, you can't go to Chang'an! The messenger panicked, ignoring the pain, and cried out loudly.
"He didn't go to Chang'an, he went out of the city to inspect military affairs." Tian Xing calmly made everyone unpredictable, and he didn't know what this Tian Gongzi was thinking. Are you afraid that you will get into trouble because of this incident and deliberately stay out of it? Or is it because of the mere messenger, why bother?
"Then please hurry up and send me to the Tianjiedu envoy, and you can't delay for a moment, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." The messenger was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he fell asleep for two days, but he was afraid that the daylilies would be cold, and if he messed up this matter, his father-in-law would cut off his own head.
Tian Yue heard the messenger say that the emperor had secretly eliminated the eunuchs Dong Xiu and Liu Zhongyi before ascending the throne. These two people are the most trusted eunuchs of the dead Daizong, and Beisi has been controlled by these two for ten years, and the Tang Shence army is full of minions of the two of them. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and changed the dynasty, the eunuchs of the Northern Division and the generals of the Shence Army are also a major reshuffle. When Daizong was seriously ill, Tian Yue sent people to Beijing to look for people to make friends with, and someone recommended the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, who had just emerged in the Northern Division. Tian Yue sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry regardless of the cost, befriended this eunuch, and helped him climb up. Now he has become the chief eunuch of the Northern Division, and some eunuchs with military power have attached themselves to him, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Tang Shence Army has completely obeyed him.
This Shence army was originally a frontier army in the northwest. Since the rise of Tibet in the Songtsen Gampo period, it has long become a border disaster for the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo launched a series of tug-of-war on the northwest border. When Tang Xuanzong defeated Tubo, since Tianbao thirteen years, Ge Shuhan asked Lidouhe and Taoyang two counties and established Yongbian, Weisheng, Jintian, Wuning, Yaowu, Tiancheng, Zhenwei, and Shence Eight Armies. At this point, the Tang army achieved a relative advantage over Tibet on the northwest frontier and formed a net-like defensive chain. The Shence Army is set up in the Mohuan River more than 200 miles west of Lintao, located on the south bank of Taoshui, across the water from Taoyang County. Taoyang Taishou Cheng Rumiao served as the first Shence military envoy, and since then, the Shence army has officially stepped onto the stage of Tang Dynasty history.
After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong ordered the troops on the northwest border to rush to the inland, "its Hexi, Longyou, and Shuofang, except for the first attack on the Han soldiers and the castle of the defending county, since the Yuma Bu army generals and soldiers, all attached to the camp." The envoys of all committees are still limited to the 20th of this month. The Shence Army was led by Wei Boyu, the general of the Shence Army at that time, to the Central Plains and participated in the Battle of Xiangzhou, which besieged An Qingxu in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty. After the defeat of Yecheng in Jiujiedu, Wei Boyu and the eunuch Guan Junrong made Yu Chaoen retreat to Shaanzhou to guard against Anshi. At this time, the hometown of the Shence army had been occupied by Tubo, and the army under the command of Wei Boyu still used the name of the Shence army, and Boyu was the soldier and horse envoy. Boyu entered the court, and the army returned to Shaanzhou to make Guo Yingyi; Ying Yi entered the court, and the Shence army belonged to Yu Chaoen. During this period, Yu Chaoen merged the army under the jurisdiction of the Shaanzhou Jiedu Envoy into the Shence Army, expanding it to an army of more than 10,000 people. In the first year of Guangde, Tubo invaded Chang'an, the forbidden army was defeated, Daizong went to Shaanzhou, Yu Chaoen led this army to protect Daizong, and after Jingshi Keping, Yu Chaoen led the Shence army to return to the ban. In the first year of Yongtai, the Tibetan army attacked Guanzhong again, and the Shence army was divided into left and right compartments in the Tunyuan, and officially became the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven. In the fifth year of the Great Calendar, Yu Chaoen was offended and died, and for more than ten years, he was led by the eunuchs Dong Xiu and Liu Zhongyi. Now that the two are dead, the Shence Army is owned by Ju Wenzhen.
The messenger specifically mentioned that after the new emperor ascended the throne, in the name of entering Beijing to congratulate him, he summoned all the unrestrained Jiedu envoys in the world to the capital, and prepared to seal the high-ranking officials of the capital who had no real power, and gave them generously to Chang'an City. This time, a total of ten people were recruited into the court, and the father-in-law learned that there was a festival envoy from the three towns of Hesu, and he specially ordered Cui to rush to inform the original committee.
