Chapter 54: Entering the Palace (I)
.“ Zhonghuang ambushed. Nakagawa ambushed.. The Turks shouted in a mess. It's even more chaotic, and no one even saw Tang Bing. Begin to trample on each other.
Against the night fight. Hei Tooth Changzhi once told Li Wei his experience, and Li Wei also said this experience in the military affairs superintendent: Night battles are often used in war. But first you have to be smarter than the other general. The night fight was meant to be a gamble. With the help of the night. Attacking the opponent is unguardable. Gambling is also about skill. Guess what cards are in your opponent's hand and what cards will be played. Night battles are also a gamble. Guess if the other party will be defensive. Isn't it ridiculous to be like Asid in office, this night battle? His wisdom is nowhere near as good as Pei Xingjian's. How could he guess Pei Xingjian's thoughts. Can't guess. How can you predict that Pei Xingjian is defenseless?
The second is that there can't be too many soldiers, and certainly not too few. For example, when he attacked Chengfeng Ridge at night, there were thousands of people on the other side. He only led five hundred men to touch it. After all, there are many unexpected accidents in war. If there are tens of thousands of people on the other side. Only a few thousand people can be sent. Otherwise, once you are ambushed. The soldier was frightened, and he couldn't see clearly in the night. will be wiped out in an instant. Unless it's like the one he fought at the heart of the cow. The other master will be eaten to death.
The two that the black tooth often said. Worst case scenario. It's all happening tonight.
Tens of thousands of people are in disarray. The rain of arrows stopped. Then the Tang army killed. I was full of confidence. and let Zhang Qianxun 10,000 soldiers bravely kill the enemy. Inspired by the blood. At this time, the Turks were in turmoil again. What time does it take to earn this credit? Could it be that he brought a basket over, and he was really not ready to pick someone to ask for war merits?
The Great Rout begins.
There were still many Turks in Montenegro, but none of them dared to go to war. All on the wall:
Tens of thousands of troops led by Asid in his duties. Less than half of them escaped. Even Ashide himself was killed by several soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in the rebellion. Who exactly killed it. I don't know. It's all earning credit. There is no way to fight this battle.
Especially the various tribes south of Yinshan. Seeing that the collapse began, some of the Shanbei tribe soldiers began to flee to the back of Montenegro. So he immediately looked for Ashina and got acquainted with Ashina. The tribes of the north of the mountain can escape. But where did he run away because he wanted to capture these two people and give them to the Tang Dynasty people to make meritorious contributions and forgive their sins. Ashdwinbo saw that the situation was not good. With his men. Flee north. Escape in time. Didn't get caught. But Ashina's mud was captured by various departments. And then one by one like obedient chopping. Carrying the mud and crawling, he came to Pei Xingjian's big tent to ask for sin.
Good news arrived in Luoyang.
At this time, Li Zhi's family of three also returned to Luoyang.
After hearing the news, Li Zhi was very happy. The edict let Cui Zhiyue, the secretary of the household department, pass the book at a gallop. Comfort the soldiers. Pei Xingjian District is in Yu Kou, and the class teacher returns to the dynasty. It's not about destroying the remnants. It is the difference in punishment. Some are coerced and betrayed. Some of them are the first to be at both ends, and some of them are timely meritorious service and plead. These tribal leaders were screened out. and where sanctions are not to be given. That is, come back soon.
Later, some people said that Pei Xingjian gave up, but this will not happen, and Ashste Wenbo fled to the Wolf Mountain Qarluq Department for refuge. At that time, Pei Xingjian didn't have the ability to know. After the Yin Mountain. It's a vast prairie or desert. Out in the boondocks. Such a vast area. God knows where Asid fled?
Others say it's a conspiracy theory. This time, the troops were deployed from the beginning. Brother Zhu is handsome. Most of them were arranged by Wu Zetian, Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxun Heng Ge did not need to be questioned: Cao Huaishun did not need to say, Li Siwen later helped Wu Zetian. Let his nephew Li Jingye be killed. It also proves that he is Wu Zetian's person. Li Wenhan and Zhou Daowu died well in Wu Zhou. shows that their relationship with Wu Zetian is not tense:
But the recall of Pei Xingjian is absolutely not mixed with any conspiracy theories. Later, Wu Zetian killed famous generals such as Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Heizhi Changzhi and Zhang Qianxun. It's forced to do it.
First, he used Pei Yan to override the prince. and used Pei Yan to tamper with the edict. obtained the power of the militaristic state, and the reason why he killed Pei Yan. It was Pei Yan who was ambitious. And yet it is dying. Pei Yan also said something sanctimonious. These important generals and important ministers such as Guo Zhiju and Wei Xuan. Or have a bad relationship with Pei Yan. Or be deceived by him. If you don't kill it. The path of Emperor Wu Zetian will be very unsafe. This is like the non-killing of the Qin Tomb without the Lu clan. Maybe it's a mistake for the country. But for individuals. There is no right or wrong. But treat state affairs. Wu Zetian has been defeated repeatedly. But the house has been defeated and fought repeatedly. Many soldiers died. This attitude of not admitting defeat. Also more or less. Prevented the Tibetans and Turks from inflicting further harm on the Central Plains.
Wu Zetian would not engage in any conspiracy when state affairs were at their most critical.
The main reason is funding.
300,000 troops. The amount of food consumed in one day alone is staggering. It's not a bucket of rice or a dozen Wen. Shipped to Montenegro. The loss will be heavy. There is also the loss of weapons, armor, materials, etc. It's only been a few months. The treasury is again empty.
This is the end of the day. Hit the spot. Immediately I will be able to earn a lot of money from the people of the country. and domestic taxation. The economic situation can be reversed immediately. It's empty like this. Li Zhi was very uneasy:
Also underestimated the Turks . Think after this crackdown. The Turks will probably be very honest:
In the end, Li Zhi does not understand military affairs, if he is afraid of financial constraints, he can leave tens of thousands of people and continue to surround the brakes. The rest of the army withdrew to the Central Plains. The cost is not much, and the results can be expanded. After Pei Xingjian received the holy decree. Thought about it. I have made a great contribution to this battle. Tens of thousands of enemies were killed. The rebellion was successfully suppressed, and the Tang Dynasty army died only a few thousand.
If not. These two old people think more.
What does it mean to retire after success. He still understands.
Plus, he hasn't heard from Ashdwinbo yet. So he left Cheng Wuting and an army to stay in Yunzhou and continue to monitor the movements of the Turkic tribes. He led the army back in triumph.
Since the intention is to return. Pei Xingjian did not delay and set off immediately. I want to rush to drink a glass of the emperor's wedding wine. Zheng Gong Chu is different from Princess Ying. Despite being the daughter of Cui Zhiyue, the Cui brothers are famous. can't be regarded as a descendant of the real Qinghe Cui family. The woman of the Boling Cui family who was preparing to discuss marriage. In terms of the "degree of grandeur", it is still inferior to Zheng Gongchu. The Rongyang Zheng family may not be as good as Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui. But Zheng Gongchu was born in the Zheng family's most famous northern ancestor. She is also the direct granddaughter of the old patriarch. The identity is extraordinary.
And that's not all. The joint parenting. It can't be said that it can be exchanged for all the five surnames and seven families, but at least it can be exchanged for some small help from the Rongyang Zheng family.
This was important for the emperor.
It's about what kind of revolution there will be in the future. With a joint relationship, everyone can sit down and negotiate and turn conflicts into cooperation. Filibuster will also be reduced.
Pei Xingjian didn't expect it. This time his big victory. But it brought a good thing to the imperial court: the Zheng family originally sent people to negotiate with several other major families. Prepare to join forces to secretly put pressure on the imperial court. Let the imperial court once again lift the sea ban. Li Wei didn't say it explicitly. Zheng Gongchu's grandfather could understand it and said that he would not let it go in the future. There is no external pressure. Li Wei took the initiative to release. It's backsliding. It won't work out very well either.
But it was rejected by other families.
You are married to the Emperor. I have been in your house for a few days, and God knows what you have discussed
, how much benefit did Bei let your Zheng family get? Why let's convince together? This taste is fake, and the scale of this battle is huge. An army of 300,000 people, just to eat, how much does it consume in a day? How many days can the imperial treasury last? That's why Li Wei could entrust the Zheng family to pass on this sentence.
That's it. Why not wait. Wouldn't it be easier to negotiate when the imperial court "ran out of ammunition and food"?
However, Pei Xingjian only sent troops for less than two months. and crush the Eastern Turks. Several major families are in a mess
Therefore, Dr. Taichang Yuan Lizhen has a distant grandson, Yu Shinan's outer chop Yuan Yi, who succeeded Qiu Renjie and served as the assassin of Suzhou. I don't know if the Langyu Wang clan surnamed Hugh has a holiday with him. Said that his own family has been since Song Taiwei Yuan Shu. He was loyal to the emperors of all dynasties. Although the Wang family is the Jiangnan Wangmen. Ranked in Taiding. However, he became a minister of successive usurpers. Shame compared to it. He also said that what is more valuable than the famous. Loyal to his world. Talent and virtue successively. What is so valuable about buying and selling marriage in exchange for glory and wealth?
It seems that he is dissatisfied with the Langsu Wang. In fact, the spearhead was pointed directly at the seven families with five surnames in Shandong.
Wenlu's son Zhang Fei visited him. Say that this state has a long history. It's Longxi Li Xuan. The world's first door. Yuan Yi said. Sima He said nothing. The portal must be a generation of sages. Famous Sect of Style. For the sake of being well-dressed. can be weighed. Shandong people are still married. Seek profit. Pillar of time. See Danger Mandate. Then there is no one for the Kuang Dynasty (referring to the time when the country is in danger. One by one, the turtle with a shrunken head protects itself): how can you say it, think it is a portal!
What's the big deal. Thought noble. Shame on words. But even marriage is related to the children's life. can be used as a profitable transaction. What's not to say? enjoys the dignity of the country, but when each generation rises and falls, it does not contribute to the country and the people. And what is noble!
But the people of the time thought he was right
It shows that not only the Li royal family, but also many people have five surnames and seven families. With the same attitude as the royal family. The heart is yearning again. Grudge again.
The facts are also in a word. Marriage can claim money, and sea transportation is an even greater source of wealth. So immediately there was a change of attitude. Send each other's children. Communicate with each other. See what to do? made Zheng Gongchu's grandfather very uncomfortable at home:
Zheng Gongchu entered the palace this time. The number of rites cannot be compared to Pei Yuhe's marriage to the East Palace. But there is also what should be. Many have also violated etiquette
Everyone is happy. Just before Zheng Gong Chu entered the palace. Pei Xingjian finally arrived in Luoyang.
Li Zhi is still very happy this time because of his wife. He suppressed this important minister for many years: but he did not complain. He did many things for the imperial court. Set up a banquet in Shangyang Palace. He was even ready to pour wine for Pei Xingjian in person. to show the award.
Pei Xingjian didn't dare to teach.
Li Zhi said many words of praise. And then he gave a heavy reward. Including the wealth of the land. Then the joy was gone
Later, Pei Xingjian met Li Wei again.
Li Wei said hesitantly: "Pei Qing. I feel that you are in a bit of a hurry to come back this time. ”
"The minister also knows that not only the Eastern Turks have hidden dangers, but I am afraid that there are also hidden dangers in the Western Turks. And that's it, on Qinling will never let us go of the Tang Dynasty: I don't know when that princess will be"...."
"It's too early to wait for her."
"yes," but in his heart he said frugally. It's not a matter of sooner or later. may not succeed and said: "The minister has to come back:"
Li Wei knew Pei Xingjian's difficulties. I looked at Pei Xingjian again. Said: "It's okay. You are the foundation of the country, and these chickens may not have to use your knife to slaughter cattle. Glance. It's been more than half a year. You have traveled from the Western Regions to Montenegro, and everyone has lost a lot of weight.
You are a Confucian general. It's not Xue Rengui them. Good health, running around. Able to eat. The body matters. I still want to put you to good use......"
"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister. Besides, in this life, he can be appreciated by His Majesty, and the minister is already content, and the hearts of the people. Don't be too greedy. ”
"Pei Qing. I heard you have a young son. He is only three years old, but he is already very talented. ”
"Yes." Pei Xingjian's wife Lu died early until very late. The Kuqiu clan who was married when he was the protector of the capital in Anzai. He bore him four sons. Shen Xuan, Yan Xiu, Qingyuan and this young son Guangting. The youngest son is the brightest. Very early to speak. That's why I took this name.
"I have an idea. I want to put him in foster care in the East Palace. I can be a companion for my children......
"Your Majesty, no," Pei Xingjian immediately bowed down and said, "I know that Your Majesty appreciates the minister very much, and the minister is grateful. However, it was still an eventful time at this time. If Your Majesty does so. Not only is it bad for the ministers. It's not good for Your Majesty either. ”
"Pei Qing. You get up immediately, I'll just listen to you," Li Wei hurriedly helped him up.
"Oh down. The minister has another word. Since his accession to the throne, the minister has been watching. Your Majesty is doing a great job. And the kind of change, bit by bit, will gradually reverse many of the shortcomings of Datang. It's rare to take the big picture into account. There was not much opposition raised: but Your Majesty, these years . Your Majesty will continue to do it. Prevent future ...... A foundation needs to be laid. ”
Li Wei couldn't speak.
Pei Xingjian refers to the desperate plan he offered. If that's the case, all your own roadblocks. will be eradicated one by one under absolute power and violence, what Pei Yan. Wu Chengsi. Wu Sansi and the like. Immediately fell apart and disappeared.
But in that case, the country will have great pain.
And Li Wei doesn't want to, although his parents are restrained by himself, he just loves power. Not very evil, including the mother. There is nothing like history. Moved to kill. Again. The soul doesn't count. But this brother's body was given by them. It's not just the body. Even this status. If you don't have this status. Characters like Pei Xingjian. Will you bow down at your feet?
"The minister is just talking. Maybe he'll be the next day. The Queen Mother can do what Her Majesty wishes. ”
"Let's take one step at a time. Mainly Pei Yan. If the person is deposed; I'd rather make a lot of concessions." Then the court will be safe. But Li Wei also shook his head. I want to move Pei Yan. It seems that unless you use Pei Xingjian's desperate strategy:
Mention Pei Yan. Pei Xingjian can make the Eastern and Western Turkic riots disappear in the blink of an eye. But Pei Yan has no choice.
But this gentleman is a minister. One master and one apprentice. This conversation is more intimate, and it has faintly overridden the relationship between Li Wei and Qiu Renjie.
At parting. Pei Xingjian was full of emotion and said, "Your Majesty. I can't live another twenty years. Let the minister take a look at ......"
"Definitely."
Zheng Gongchu was about to enter the palace, but another incident happened in the court. What made Li Wei cry and laugh......
:The battle of Montenegro is basically processed in real history. So slightly overlooked. There is a lot of opposition, and I really want to work hard to speed up the update, but I'm still confused, can the protagonist wrestle with Wu Zetian. Is this also considered an abuser?
