Chapter 153: Each in his own way
The team walked for four days and arrived at Taiyuan Mansion, and Ye Qing's mission ended here. Because the team will take a big boat, through Fenshui, to Puzhou, from Puzhou through Weishui upstream, can reach Chang'an. In other words, most of the rest of the road is spent on ships.
Xue Lang is not afraid to take a boat, it is more comfortable than taking a carriage. Taiyuan Mansion prepared the big boat early, Ye Qing commanded people to carry the sweet potatoes onto the boat, and specially came to say goodbye to Xue Lang: "Xue Counselor, I can only send Xue Counselor here, I hope Xue Counselor will cherish it all the way." A certain family is here to wish Xue all the best. ”
Xue Lang said: "Thank you Ye Duwei Jiyan." I'm only afraid that I won't be able to turn around for a while, Liu Heimin and the Turks want to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they can't say that they will go to Weize Pass, and I hope that Captain Ye will pay attention to it. ”
Ye Qing's stiff face became a little more serious, and he said respectfully: "I know, Xue Counselor can rest assured, as long as Ye Qing is there for a day, he will not let the Turks break through the Weize Pass!" Take care! ”
"Take care!"
Saying goodbye to each other, Ye Qing got on the horse and led people back to Weize Pass. Xue Lang stood at the bow of the ship until he could not see the shore before entering the cabin.
Even if there is such a great merit as offering auspicious rui waiting for Xue Lang to obtain, Xue Lang has no excitement, he really can't rest assured that he can't go to Wei Zeguan! When is the life and death of Princess Pingyang? What is it for...... Why didn't the damned historians write in detail about this? One of Li Shimin's fierce generals, Luo Shixin, wrote when he died, and Princess Pingyang made such a big contribution, but there were only a few strokes, which really made people angry.
"What's the big brother worried about?"
Jiang Lin, as the head of the guard, naturally lived in the same boat as Xue Lang. Xue Lang said: "I'm worried about Wei Zeguan, this time Liu Heimin rebelled, there is nothing to be afraid of, but the only one to worry about is the Turks." Weize Pass is located on a key road, and the Turks want to enter the Central Plains and attack Chang'an, but they are afraid that they will not let it go. ”
Jiang Lin said: "The eldest brother's worries and the younger brother know, but we didn't expect this situation in Weizeguan, the soldiers have been waiting for more than half a year, why is the eldest brother worried about this?" ”
Xue Lang naturally couldn't tell him that because his good eldest brother was dressed back from the future and knew the death date of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he was worried. Hearing this, he shook his head and didn't answer, but asked, "Ah Lin, eldest brother, I don't know about the military, what do you think of the new Captain Yedu?" ”
Jiang Lin glanced at Xue Lang suspiciously, but he didn't ask, but answered Xue Lang's question seriously, and said: "The junior brother doesn't know how that Captain Ye fights, but along the way, I saw that Captain Ye leading the troops, the military appearance was neat, the military discipline was strict, and the subordinates had rules in every word and deed, and they were very convinced of Captain Ye. There are books of soldiers, and the soldiers are united, even if they do not win, they are not far away. ”
Xue Lang nodded, and asked again, "What about Xiong Zhenjun?" You've been training for a long time, but what do you think? ”
Asked about Xiong Zhenjun, Jiang Lin's face showed admiration, and he said: "Xiong Zhen is a fierce pawn, but he is terrifying!" ”
If Xue Lang brought any changes to Wei Zeguan, Xue Lang felt that there was an extra elite soldier named Xiong Zhenjun, and Ye Qing joined. The latest and fastest update of ancient wars, the warriors are important, but who the generals are is even more important. There is a saying that if a soldier bears a bear, he will bear a nest. That's what I'm talking about.
Jiang Lin saw that Xue Lang was a little distracted, and persuaded: "With the ability of Her Royal Highness the Princess to lead the army, there are elite soldiers like Xiong Zhenjun under his command, and people like Ye Duwei to help, the eldest brother can rest assured." What's more, I, Wei Zeguan, have been on guard against the Turks, but I am not unprepared and unprepared, with the ability of His Royal Highness, is this situation more dangerous than being trapped in Chang'an back then? ”
Xue Lang also heard that in such a dangerous situation back then, under such a disadvantage, Princess Pingyang could pull up a team as a woman, not to mention the reed Zeguan who is now fully prepared! Xue Lang should have confidence in Princess Pingyang!
Seeing Xue Lang's brows loosen, Jiang Lin continued to persuade: "Big brother once taught me to perform my duties and do my best. The eldest brother has an important position, and since he cares about Wei Zeguan, he should concentrate on doing the current thing, so as to live up to the trust of Her Royal Highness the princess. What does the eldest brother think? ”
Xue Lang suddenly patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and said, "Thank you Ah Lin, I haven't seen it clearly yet." That's right, even if I'm in Weize Pass, I can't help much, it's better to concentrate on doing the things at hand now, so that Her Royal Highness the princess has no worries! ”
Jiang Lin said with a smile: "The eldest brother is just in the game, so he is confused. The younger brother is in the situation, so he should remind the eldest brother, you and my brother, why do you need to say thank you? ”
Xue Lang nodded and patted him again. At this point, he really let go of his arms and thought about what happened after he went to Chang'an, not to mention anything else, such as the rules, etiquette and the situation in Beijing that Gui gave him, he had to be familiar with it. The matter of offering auspicious rui is not only related to himself, but also to Princess Pingyang, if it is done well, then in the future, he will be good, Princess Pingyang will be placed in a transcendent place, and you can advance and retreat as you like.
Since Xue Lang appeared in Princess Pingyang's mansion, everything about him has been tied to Princess Pingyang's family, and Princess Pingyang stands behind him, representing the power of Princess Pingyang's family.
If Princess Pingyang's task is to hold the Weize Pass and fight against the Turks, it is a tactical matter, and Xue Lang's entry into Beijing to offer auspicious rui is a strategic task, as long as it is completed well, they will occupy the initiative strategically in the future. Even if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, it is not easy to attack them casually, at most he will stay away and leave people idle. However, Xue Lang has confidence in the future His Majesty Taizong.
After letting go of his embrace, Xue Lang took a lot of initiative in the matter of offering auspicious rui, and asked Li Gang and Li Shangshu on the same boat about the process of offering auspicious rui.
At this time, Li Gang held the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the court, and he was in charge of this matter, so it was right to ask him.
Seeing that Xue Lang took the initiative to ask about these things, Li Gang touched his beard and said, "Counselor Xue has already let go of his arms, and his worries are gone?" ”
Look, those who have lived to more than seventy, even if they are upright, they are human spirits, and Xue Lang can't see how he can't see his worries these days. Xue Lang gave his hand embarrassedly: "Thank you Li Shangshu for your concern, Xia Guan has been worried about the safety of Wei Zeguan recently." Yesterday, after Ah Lin's persuasion, I have figured it out, Wei Zeguan has his own Royal Highness and a kind of general, but I am the only one who has dedicated Xiangrui, each performing its own duties, each doing its best, and the lower officials should do what they should do first, so as to live up to the trust of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Li Gang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now it seems that Xue Counselor is really clear. There is a word, and the old man can already tell it. ”
Xue Lang solemnly asked: "Please give me advice." ”
Li Gang asked, "When Counselor Xue comes, Her Royal Highness the Princess can tell you, how to deal with the court's commendation?" ”
Xue Lang said: "No." Her Royal Highness the princess only asked the chamberlain in the palace to teach me the etiquette rules, the people in Beijing, etc., and did not tell me how to deal with it, is there any special etiquette that cannot be done? ”
