Chapter 19: The Burial of the Chu Palace (2)
The soldier escorted Shandai over.
I went back to the Sifang Pavilion last night, and I was convinced by Li Wei's wisdom, just one piece of clothing, I can come up with so much, and sure enough, as Hu Ying and the people said, it was the stars in the sky that came down, but Xiangdai was not stupid, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, not like his father, why did he seem to be "jealous" of a minister, and then asked the officials guarding the Sifang Pavilion.
Only then did I know the rights of the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Wei asked her to stay in the Sifang Pavilion and not go out easily, but she was very worried. If something really happens, will the emperor not hesitate to offend the powerful Queen Mother for his own sake, and find justice for himself?
So Li Wei left Luoyang, and she also left Luoyang. I didn't dare to follow too closely, and I followed sneakily. Just out of Luoyang City, the people lived very crowded, the guards just protected Li Wei's left and right, far away from the city gate, and there were not many guards, but they were all good guards, and some were the ones that Li Wei brought back from Qinghai. Some of them themselves were scouts, and the scope of the search expanded, but Xiangdai didn't know it, and the result was just like Xu Li's time, and it was quickly discovered.
But as soon as he saw Shandai, blonde and blue-eyed, he knew that he was one of the messengers who came from Europe this time, and did not tie her up.
Li Wei was a little displeased, and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you following me?" Have you forgotten what I said to you last night? β
"The emperor save me."
"What to save, last night, I told Zhou Guogong that he would not harass you again. Let's go back. β
Xiang Dai knelt down and said, "His Majesty the Emperor must save me." β
"Go back, it's fine."
"What if something happens? Your Majesty is not in Luoyang. β
"You mean to walk with me?"
"Yes."
"Impossible."
Don't say that Li Wei thinks it's impossible, even Wei Hongji thinks it's impossible, this line of emperors has brought many female dependents, these are female dependents, either a few concubines of the emperor, or a little princess, and nearly ten palace ladies who are accompanying them. What does it count as taking this foreign girl out on patrol?
Not only this, but also does not conform to the Tang Dynasty etiquette. In the past, Tang Taizong wanted to seal Zen, Wei Zheng admonished, saying that Shandong (east of Luliang Mountain, including Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and most of Henan) was in turmoil, and the people withered. The emperor's line, with his wife and concubine, with two imperial brothers and a princess, why some officials did not agree and did not admonish, it is the most impoverished area of the river.
That is, to conduct an intuitive education for these noble masters.
But this Frankish princess, if she wants to educate a fart, after reading it, she will say to a group of Yi people in the Sifang Pavilion, oh, it turns out that the core area of the Tang Dynasty is also so poor.
"Your Majesty, I asked you the Tang Dynasty Zhou Guogong, you are benevolent."
"Benevolence is someone else's statement, I have never admitted that I am benevolent, I don't believe it, you go and ask again, what have I done in Qinghai." Li Wei refused.
"Your Majesty......" Di Ci was finally in a good mood, seeing that this princess was in a panic, she thought of the situation when she and Di Hao were forced by Helan Minzhi to flee to Yanximen overnight to ask the emperor for help, and pulled Li Wei's sleeve.
"Let's write another letter, you take it and go to Zhu Jingze, the young secretary of Dali Temple."
If you take it away, you can't take it with you, and you can't find Di Renjie, Di Renjie recognized Di Ci and Di Hao's two daughters as righteous daughters, and then recognized this Xiangdai, and the minister will also admonish. So looking for Zhu Jingze, although she is a girl, she is more or less a princess, and for Zhu Jingze, she is not very aggrieved.
Di Ja said, "Don't thank you, Your Majesty? β
Zhu Jing dared to shoot at Li Zhi when he was doing a small left pick-up. Besides, now it is Dali Shaoqing, Hugh said that Wu Chenghei, Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao are big guys, and they are also afraid of Zhu Jing. With Zhu Jingze's protection, it is enough to ensure the safety of this princess.
Xiang Dai didn't know, but she felt it faintly, but she said resentfully: "Why ......"
"Go ahead." Li Wei didn't give her a chance.
After two delays, it was not long before it was getting evening.
The brigade began to set up camp, saying that they would not disturb the people, so they brought a large amount of baggage and tents, and did not rest in the courtyards of the big families, nor in the palace, but camped on the road. In this way, only some food is provided in the local area, and the burden is not too heavy.
But if you don't have any waste, that's impossible.
The consumption of so many people, especially the emperor and several concubines, as well as two imperial brothers, and one of the most noble princesses, the food cannot be the same as that of ordinary people, not only food, but also a large number of medicinal herbs, spices, utensils, change of clothes, and even some simple furniture with gorgeous workmanship.
But in general, it is not a simple matter for the emperor to go out on patrol, in the Tang Dynasty it is not called patrol, it is called luck, for example, when you go to Shaolin Temple, you don't go to Shaolin Temple to pray for incense, you are called to Shaolin Temple to enter incense, and when you go to Ruzhou to hunt, you don't call it to hunt in Ruzhou, but it is called Xingruzhou to hunt. Li Wei's line, from his entourage to what he does, has been shabby to the point of shabby.
However, when they left the city, several concubines in the palace felt that the air was fresh and everything was pleasant, and they watched curiously as the soldiers were camping and building bonfires, and if it were not for the sake of etiquette, they could go to the village not far away to have a look. Looking at the scenery of the summer evening outside Luoyang City, as well as a babbling stream nearby, he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and jump a few times. But one by one, in order to avoid suspicion, they put on thick curtains, and the sisters-in-law did so, and Li Lingyue also took a piece of Luo
The curtain hangs on the face.
Ignoring her, Li Yiyan pulled Li Wei aside and asked, "What's the matter with that Yiren princess?" β
Li Yiyan's qualifications are not as outstanding as Di Renjie and others, but he is not an ordinary person when he does it. It wasn't just Wu Chengsi who forced this princess, the emperor seemed to be overly concerned, which also made him feel worried. But Li Yiyan didn't know much about the whole thing, so he didn't ask until now.
Li Wei made a move and beckoned Liu Renliang over, and the three of them found a stone and sat down. asked: "How are Liu Qing, Li Qing, Su Qin and Zhang Yi?" β
"It's a masterpiece for a while." Li Yiyan replied without hesitation. "Yes, the two of them only used two mouths to make the Seven Kingdoms time and time together, Sun Tzu said, the upper one conspires, the second one fights, and the two of them take the word war to the extreme. So the Silla people killed the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, and I took advantage of this opportunity to bring the two countries to war. Also for this reason. But if you think about it again, these two countries are not big, but Silla is tenacious, and the Japanese country is separated by the sea, and what about the West? The Great Eclipse is ten times stronger than Silla, Byzantium is also not weak, and Frank is a sleeping lion, neither of which can be underestimated. There were also the Avars, the Saga principalities, the Slavs, the Goths, the Lombards, the Bavarians, the TΓΊrini werewolves, the Bulgarians, the Croats. As well as the Normans, who had not yet sent envoys to the Don to look strong. β
"Your Majesty, they are too far away from us."
"It's too far, but do you know that in the ancient West, the Aryans in northern Europe invaded the Acropolis in more than 3,000 years, Alexander conquered Punjab and Sindh, Alexandria, the great successor Sethigu I, invaded the city of Fahrenheit farther away, if it wasn't for the sudden rise of the Mauryan Dynasty of Tianzhu, would Tianzhu become the world of Europeans? They set their sights on Tianzhu, but what would happen if they suddenly turned over the green ridge? The moon can't always be full, the flowers can't grow red, I am thriving now, even if I turn over the green mountains, it is not harmful. But will it continue to be strong for hundreds of years? What if, in the midst of a period of decline, several powerful countries have emerged in Europe, and an interest has been taken in the rich territories of our dynasty? β
"Your Majesty, ...... you are"
"Since they're not rising, can we do something to let them decline permanently? In this way, is it also leaving a wealth for children and grandchildren? β
"Your Majesty wants to take advantage of this mission......
"Yes, these envoys have just come to our dynasty, nostalgic for the prosperity of our dynasty, and they will stay for a few months, I am thinking about this matter at this time, can we take advantage of the sharp contradictions between these nations and the country, create some incidents, let them deepen the contradictions, fight each other, and fight fiercely, this is also a war, but it is not necessary for our dynasty to send a large army. This princess will play an important role in the middle. β
"Your Majesty, this is a good word, but the minister is clumsy and ignores His Majesty's intentions."
"It's okay, there's no need to rush anyway. As I said, Qinghai is a pilot project, and this is a place to learn from some gains and losses as a direct management of the border areas. However, as diplomacy, the Wa Kingdom and Silla are new places to learn from. Liu Qing, you are proficient in naval warfare, I have many neighbors above the sea, but none of them are strong, only the Japanese country may become a hidden danger in the future. But you have also heard about the scale of the naval battle between the Byzantines and the Great Cannibals. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, I want to build a navy, the scale is not large, a few thousand people are enough, and then collect information on the ocean currents, monsoons, reefs, bay areas, and so on. β
The latter is easier, there is no need to send special people to arrange, some of the merchants' voyages, these materials will be kept returning.
There is no need to worry about the sinking of the ship, as long as the imperial court allocates part of the funds to build a seaport in Dengzhou and do some proper training, Li Wei's goal can be achieved. For the country, it is not a waste if it does not have the lofty goals that Li Wei said. If you go out to conquer Silla or the Wa Kingdom, you can't do without a navy. Moreover, the formal establishment of the navy would create a misunderstanding between Silla and the Wa Kingdom, increasing the level of fierce warfare between them.
"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant strategy." Liu Ren orbit.
He is also grateful to Pei Xingjian in his heart, if there is no Pei Xingjian's teaching, His Majesty is talented and intelligent, and he will not be like now, both civil and military.
"There are many ancient and modern examples of the battle of the river, but the naval battle was set by Liu Qing. I also want to ask Liu Qing to help and teach the soldiers......"
"The minister dares to disobey."
"It's just that, Liu Qing, as a Zaifu, handles national affairs, and has to take into account the future military supervision, as well as water conservancy, and the future navy, the task is very heavy."
"But it's also a minister's honor." Liu Renliang's eyes flashed with brilliance, if he didn't meet Mingjun, he would just meet Mingjun, and when he met Mingjun, he also wanted to do something. Lian Po is 70 years old, and he said that he could still eat, but he didn't get his wish, but he had a chance, how could he be unhappy?
But Li Wei felt very sorry in his heart.
The generals of the DPRK and China can be called accomplished in martial arts, Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang, both of whom are old, and they themselves have heavy responsibilities, and they even have to count on their advanced age to take command of the expedition, and they will not have much time to train more famous generals for the country. Either it's Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui fought bravely, but he was only brave and could not be replicated. Even Xue Rengui is also old and can't live for a few years. There will be fewer and fewer famous generals in the country, and this is what Li Wei is worried about.
Thinking of this, he said: "Liu Qing, you usually have to take care of your health, if it is another day, I will go to the Japanese country, and Liu Qing needs to make contributions......
