Chapter 721 Li Ke began to toss as soon as he arrived in Yingzhou

Although Li Ke left in a hurry, for Wang Ping'an, he finally left, and as soon as Li Ke left, then all the responsibility was transferred from his body to the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ke wanted to toss how he wanted, and how the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to repair him, he didn't care about his own business!

If you think about this matter complicated, it is really in all aspects, involving the struggle of the court, the dispute between the prince and the king of Wu, the dispute between the uncle and the nephew, and even the state of Goguryeo. But if you think about it simply, it couldn't be simpler, that is, who will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and who can ascend to the throne in the Chang'an Palace.

In the following days, it has been very quiet, and outside the city of Gyeongju, preparations for spring ploughing have begun, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the south wind is beginning to blow.

At noon on this day, Che Sitong came to find Wang Ping'an, and saw that Wang Ping'an was working in the hall, so he stepped forward and said: "Prince, the ice and snow have melted in recent days, although our Gyeongju is located in the north, and it is not as early as spring in the south, but according to the solar terms of Gyeongju, the river will be opened almost tomorrow, and it is a good day to eat river fish!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Open the river? I've heard of eating river fish. Well, yes, it's called the Big and Small Liang River, of course, it's an open river. You see clearly, the ice will be open tomorrow? ”

Che Sitong said with a smile: "Almost, there is a crack on the river surface, the clicking sound continues, it is estimated that the ice row will collapse tomorrow, the ice surface cracking is half a day's situation, the ice row flows away along the water, and you can catch fish with a fish pocket." Open river fish, that's called a fresh, it's just like this once a year, don't miss it! ”

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the river tomorrow to see what's going on with the ice breaking in the river." By the way, the water is big in spring, will it burst the embankment? ”

As soon as the words came out, I knew that the question was stupid, the characteristics of the big and small rivers are that the banks are high and the water is low, and the embankment is natural, and there is no need to increase the height and reinforcement, and the water can't rise!

"It won't break the embankment, but the river will indeed rise, and it will also carry the ice raft downstream, so the waterwheel by the river must pay attention to it, and not let the ice row be scraped, in case it is broken, it will be troublesome, and it will have to be repaired, delaying the time of irrigation." ”

Wang Ping'an said: "These are all trivial things, you can do it." I won't stay in Gyeongju for too long, you are able to do things, and when I leave, I will recommend you to the imperial court to be the assassin, so you have to pay more attention to the waterwheel, and you will be responsible for it in the future. ”

When Che Sitong heard this, he was almost so happy that he was about to faint, he had long thought about the position of the assassin of Gyeongju, but Wang Ping'an never said anything, and he was embarrassed to ask, this matter dragged on like this, but he didn't expect Wang Ping'an to promise to protect him to the court today!

With a plop, Che Sitong knelt down for Wang Ping'an, choked up and said: "Prince, your kindness to the cultivation of the lower officials, the lower officials really don't know how to repay them, you are the mentor of the lower officials, and the ...... of the beneficial princes."

Wang Ping'an didn't even help him, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, hurry up and hurry up your go, if you only say these flattering words, then I won't protect you." What the court wants is officials who can do things and do good things, not sycophants! ”

"Yes, the lower official will go to do something, this will go to do something!" Che Sitong couldn't hide the joy in his heart, jumped up, and went out to run errands.

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Some people love power, some people love money, and this car is a love of power." But it's okay, at least you know how to work hard and use it in exchange for power, which is much better than not doing anything. For example, Li Ke's tossing ghost. ”

He put away the official documents on the table and went to the backyard, wanting to ask his parents if they wanted to go to see the ice volleyball together tomorrow.

When he arrived at the back house, Wang Ping'an saw that Yang was holding Xiao Taiping, and kept coaxing, he smiled and said, "Mother, how is Xiao Taiping today, how many times have you changed her diaper?" ”

Yang said: "It's been twice, fortunately, she is very happy today." You see, when she saw you, she laughed again! ”

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and said, "Good girl, do you miss your father?" He took Xiao Taiping over and kissed the two with ringing, and Xiao Taiping laughed very well.

Wang Youcai asked: "Ping'an, at this time, you are not in front of you to deal with official business, what are you doing when you go back to the back house, you should be busy with business first, and it is not too late to come back in the evening." ”

Wang Ping'an said: "There are no important things, they were all planned before, and now they are handed over to their subordinates." By the way, I heard Che Sitong say, tomorrow the big and small rivers will open the river to see the ice rows, and eat the open river fish, I heard that it is fresh, do we want to go and see it together? ”

Yang said: "Look at the ice row? That's good, but she can't hold the child, she's afraid of catching a cold! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "It's only half a day's work, you have been taking care of her these days, it's time to take a break, and leave it to the nurse to take care of it for a day, is it still a little bit of effort?" ”

Wang Youcai also said: "Yes, go out for a walk, this child is really skinny, let the nurse take care of it for a long time, just look at the nurse's ability to take care of the child!" ”

Yang saw that her husband and son said so, so she agreed, she was suffocated in the house during this time, and she also wanted to go out for a walk and see the excitement.

Wang Ping'an called the nurse and explained the matter of tomorrow. The nurse is overjoyed, she finally has the opportunity to show her ability to take care of the child, since she entered the Thorn History Mansion, called the nurse, but it is really in addition to breastfeeding Xiao Taiping, there is no work, all the things in Xiao Taiping are handled by the Yang family and Wang Youcai, she simply can't intervene, she can't show herself, this time she finally has a chance.

Early the next morning, Wang Ping'an took Di Renjie to Daliang River first, while Yang and Wang Youcai arranged Xiao Taiping's affairs, and then set off by car to see the ice row in Kaihe.

When Wang Ping'an arrived at the river, he saw that the bank of the river was full of people, all of whom came to see the river, which was a big event, and the people had been cats for a winter, and they all wanted to come out to see the excitement.

There are also a lot of grass huts by the river, and in the grass huts are the chefs of various taverns and restaurants in Gyeongju, which is also a small business opportunity.

When the people saw Lord Thorn Shi coming, they all cheered, and many people with heads and faces hurriedly ran over to flatter and shouted: "Lord Thorn Shi, you personally come to preside over the opening of the river, this river is waiting for you to come, and it will be opened!" ”

Wang Ping'an laughed, is there any mistake, this river can't be opened, what are you doing with me, in fact, I also came to see the excitement. He looked at the river and asked, "There are a lot of cracked ice openings, but it doesn't look like it can be opened today, right?" ”

An old man came over and replied, "If you stab Lord Shi back, it will not be done until noon, when a lot of ice rows will rush down from the upstream and hit the nearby river, and the ice on the river will open all at once, boom, boom, and the scene will be spectacular!" ”

"I'd like to see this." Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie found a place on higher ground and waited to see the river. After a short time, Wang Youcai and Yang also arrived.

He was waiting to see the river, and suddenly saw a horse running in the distance, and immediately the knight was wearing the uniform of the guard, he was an officer, he was desperately beating his horse, galloping, and it seemed that there was something urgent. Seeing that the officer was running eagerly, the people on both sides made way of a passage and let the officer run to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie were very puzzled, what's the matter, this officer doesn't seem to be a native of Gyeongju, where would it be, from Chang'an?

The officer ran to the river and shouted, "Which one is the king?" At the end, there will be an urgent request to see the king's assassination! His accent has a Liaodong flavor, and he seems to be from outside the Guan.

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, as soon as he heard this accent, he knew that it was something outside the Guanguan, could it be that Li Keqi was a demon? Judging from the date, he hasn't been in Yingzhou for long!

Wang Ping'an beckoned and shouted: "This official is here, you come over quickly, but something happened to Yingzhou?" ”

When the officer saw him, he hurriedly dismounted, ran over, and shouted: "There is an urgent military situation in Yingzhou, send it to the king to assassinate the history!" He ran to Wang Ping'an, fell on one knee, and presented a letter.

Wang Ping'an took the letter and said, "What happened in Yingzhou, but King Wu ...... But did the Goguryeo people cross the border? Why did you send military reports to me? ”

The officer said: "The last general is ordered by the governor of Youzhou to send a letter to Wang Tingshi. After the accident in Yingzhou, after most of my family's governors reported to Chang'an, they received an anonymous letter that night, saying that they would tell Wang Tingshi about it, because it is rumored that Wang Tingshi is from Goguryeo...... And that man's nemesis! ”

"Nemesis? How did I become a nemesis, who wrote anonymous letters? Wang Ping'an opened the letter and began to read it, the letter was very long. Di Renjie also leaned over and followed him to watch.

After a while, read the letter. Wang Ping'an frowned and said: "It's too anxious, it's too much to toss like this." ”

Di Renjie took the letter, went through it again, and said, "Big brother, according to my brother's estimate, there was an accident on Goguryeo's side, so I was so anxious." ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "Just eat the river fish, let's go back to the house first." Brother, please come with us into the city and tell us what happened. ”

He turned his head and said to the Wang couple: "My son is a little urgent to deal with, so he won't be here, just wait for the fish to be caught in the open river, bring me one, let's boil fish soup and drink." ”

Wang Youcai and Yang saw that Wang Ping'an was not very flustered, so they thought that the matter was not big, so they didn't take it back, Yang said: "Cheng, you go first, remember to go back and see the child first." ”

Wang Ping'an agreed, and led people back to the assassination mansion first.

As soon as he entered the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Ping'an immediately took the officer to the study and asked, "What's going on, has this military newspaper been sent to Chang'an?" ”

The officer said: "If you go back to the history of Wang Ting, of course you will send it to Chang'an first, and it will be earlier than your one, but Chang'an is farther than Gyeongju, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Di Renjie asked: "When King Wu arrived in Yingzhou, what did he do, but he removed a large number of officials from Yingzhou?" ”

If you want to control Yingzhou, of course, you have to remove and replace all the officials who are disobedient, under normal circumstances, no Tang official will be in the same boat as Li Ke and collude with the Goguryeo people, that is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, who is willing to do such a thing!

The officer said, "Reply to this adult's words." When King Wu arrived in Yingzhou, he did deal with a group of local officials first, and sent all the officials home, but he did not say anything about the dismissal, like Beijia and Changshi, he had no right to remove, so he could only let them go home and rest for a few days. ”

Wang Ping'an frowned and said: "It can't be because of this kind of thing, this is not enough for the military report, at most, it is just a new official taking office with three fires, rectifying his subordinates, and making his subordinates obedient." ”

The officer said with a bitter face: "This is the first fire, it's nothing, but the second fire will kill you." King Wu began to recruit county soldiers, but in only three or four days, he actually recruited more than 2,000 people, and just before the last general set out, it reached 3,000, and it is still increasing. This is impossible in any case, Yingzhou is a place of long-term war, the people are already scarce, and Ding Zhuang in Hezhou is afraid that there are not more than 3,000 people, how can he recruit so many? ”

Di Renjie said: "Is it effortless for him to raise these county soldiers?" And still recruiting? Where does the food and grass come from? ”

Wang Ping'an said: "When the governor of your family learned about this, he must have sent someone to investigate, and found that there were many Goguryeo people among the newly recruited county soldiers, right?" ”

The officer immediately nodded and said: "The two adults are right, among the newly recruited county soldiers of King Wu, all of them are Goguryeo people, and so many Goguryeo people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and there is no gap in the salary, King Wu did not ask me for help in Youzhou, I didn't ask for grain and grass, maybe I haven't had time yet, but this is strange, how can there be grain and grass to raise so many county soldiers in Yingzhou?" ”

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie looked at each other, and thought in their hearts: "Are the Goguryeo people so impatient?" If we do this kind of thing, at least we have to wait for the old emperor to die, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, we will suddenly make a difficulty, at that time the Chang'an Dynasty is unstable, and the foreign feudal rebellion can get the greatest benefit, why rush for a while! ”

Wang Ping'an asked, "How to deal with this?" ”

Di Renjie only felt sweat on his head, and said, "I have to wait and see what happens." ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "I'll write a letter to the eldest grandson of Chang'an and ask about the situation!" "I wrote two letters, one for the governor of Youzhou, and the other for the eldest grandson Wuji, and sent them separately.

Changan. The eldest grandson Wuji was also reading the letter, but it was neither a letter from Youzhou nor a letter from Wang Ping'an, but a distress note from Silla.

Goguryeo launched a war and invaded Silla, and the king of Silla asked the suzerain, the Tang Empire, for help!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the music and thought, "In this way, the situation is understood." Why did the Goguryeo people support Li Ke, it was because they wanted to annex Silla, and they were afraid that Silla would ask for help from the Tang Dynasty, so they came up with Li Ke, wanted to make some trouble for the Tang Dynasty, and couldn't take care of them. Hey, this plan is okay, but unfortunately, they are too eager and launched too early! ”

He took the chapter and entered the palace, intending to report the matter to Emperor Li Shimin.
