From Lu Fei's incident to the forced landing of the forbidden army one by one, it has only been more than a month, and in such a short period of time, he has no ability to completely eliminate the power and influence of these generals in the forbidden army, let alone take them lightly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Fei walked to Xiang Xun in silence, and said softly: "Whether you fight or not, the imperial court must be prepared to fight and not fight, if you really want to fight, please also ask the old general and the generals of the forbidden army to work together to protect the Tang Dynasty, and if the Tang Dynasty is here, you will not lose your glory and wealth." ”

Xiang Xun bowed his hand and sat down.

Pan Mei said at this time: "What does General Lu mean that before Tian Chongjin completely tears his face, we still have to try our best to avoid war?" ”

Lu Fei took a deep breath and fought? What to fight? The hearts of the government and the opposition are fluctuating, and the army is even more disunited, and what is even more terrifying is whether anyone will take advantage of the war to fish in troubled waters, such as secretly colluding with Tian Chongjin to seek greater wealth, and once the war starts, the rest of the generals at the border will not follow the incident, and at that time, even if Lu Fei has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to stop it.

Lu Fei said: "That's right, while preparing for war, I immediately sent people to Hedong to see what he wanted to do, even if it was to delay me for a little longer." ”

Pan Mei said: "I'm afraid that Tian Chongjin is not in serious trouble." ”

Lu Fei frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Pan Mei paused, as if brewing, and said admittedly for a long time: "The reason why the generals of the border pass are disrespectful to the new dynasty may be due to the fact that the throne of our dynasty has been vacant, and how many people will covet it if there is a dynasty without an emperor." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people agreed, and Lu Fei also nodded yes, and said: "It makes sense, the Imperial City Division has been looking for the descendants of the Li Tang royal family, and the descendants of the Heavenly Family are prosperous, I believe that it will not be long before the Tang Dynasty will usher in a new monarch." ”

Pan Mei hurriedly said: "Far water can't dissolve near water." ”

Lu Fei pouted: "What's the use of this urgency?" ”

Pan Mei smiled helplessly and said: "The queen's curtain is really a helpless strategy, Pan only hopes that the court can agree on the new monarch as soon as possible to reassure people." ”

Lu Fei said in his heart: I still want to be the emperor one day earlier, but now as long as I dare to sit on the dragon chair, the vast majority of the forbidden army is estimated to have to rebel, not for anything else, just because these people have no interests and emotional ties with Lao Tzu, and they are not sure whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Lao Tzu to be the emperor.

Pan Mei's words caused a lot of noise in the hall at the right time, and the colleagues became whispering, and while speaking, they looked at Lu Fei with a complicated look, yes, the three emperors and the five emperors have never heard of a dynasty without an emperor in any dynasty.

At this moment, it is inconvenient for Lu Fei to talk more, he will not lead the spearhead to himself at this juncture, the government has not yet stabilized, how can he have the idea and courage to be the emperor.

In this atmosphere of depression and suspicion in this embarrassment, the deliberations of the front division of the palace were dispersed, and everyone came back in frustration.

Winter seems to have come overnight. At the beginning of October, the weather is clear, the wind has sent the chill of winter, the streets and alleys are wafting a kind of plum blossom fragrance, pay attention to the light smell, hearty, only a few yellow leaves on the branches are still greedy for the moisture of the branches, the breeze comes, the dead leaves dance, the garden from a little distance, you can find a layer of light yellow withered color, many seasons of flowers have withered.

Everything has quietly fallen asleep, as if everything has been covered with a layer of tranquility, just like the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, the middle of winter is coming.

However, at this moment, Lu Fei was nostalgic for that night when the street lights were lit and full of peace.

He found that he was actually missing Yang Sanmei...... This familiar and strange woman. Familiarity is because the unique beauty is unforgettable; Strange, it is only once, and it is only the moment when the hat falls off, half of the face is unforgettable. Power and emotions are intertwined and complicated in his heart, which makes him a little confused, yes, maybe this is life, there is always something waiting for him to choose, just like now, he can't put aside a political matter for the sake of his children's private affairs.

Walking on the path of the garden full of cobblestones, Lu Fei was in a trance, in these days when everything was complicated, he rarely went to see Heiyun and Qiao Niang, not that he didn't want to see them, but he didn't want to force a smile in front of them, and he couldn't even convince himself of the composure he tried to pretend to, the news of the five states of Hedong secession from the Tang Dynasty had already made a lot of noise in the city, and this morning I listened to Su Niang, who had just come back from shopping for vegetables, and Huang Rong chatting about it, saying that whether the rebels were going to fight Bianliang or not, and whether the imperial court would go north to quell the rebellion, also said that if the imperial court was going to fight, would it send Lang Jun to the battlefield, etc.

These women don't care and don't want to get rid of the situation, they only care about whether their Lang Jun'an is not safe, and whether they will return home at dusk as usual in the future.

Whenever he thinks of Tian Chongjin's rebellion, Lu Fei can't help but think of the former Tang princess Li Sisi, who has always worried him, the poor woman who has experienced the ruin of the country and the death of the family, and has to commit herself to others if she wants to save the soldiers.

Lu Fei didn't want to experience this kind of failure, neither he nor anyone he cared about could afford such a failure.

The side was very calm, Lu Fei turned around, and then remembered that the white lady was not by her side today, Jinyiwei had begun to take shape, and she had a lot of business to deal with.

The footsteps were messy, and before he knew it, he had come to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake in the back garden, looking at his reflection in the water, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the official uniform on his body was more and more noble, but the danger was also rising.

He was thinking boredly when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the back street across the wall, "Da ......". The sound of horses' hooves in the city gives the impression that there is something urgent.

Sure enough, after a while, the maid Tian Tian came to report that it was Xue Juzheng, the governor of the Political Affairs Hall, who was visiting.

Lu Fei was surprised when he heard it, Xue Xianggong seemed to be the first time to come to his mansion, this kind of private meeting between important ministers of the court and the former generals of the palace If it is placed in the previous dynasty, I am afraid that even if it is a woman, there is a danger of losing office and resigning, but fortunately, this is a new dynasty.

Lu Fei changed into his regular clothes and hurried to the front hall, and before he entered, he saw Xue Juzheng walking around the hall with a worried look, his forehead full of wrinkles.

"Xue Xiang, is there anything urgent?" As soon as Lu Fei entered, he went straight to the point, and did not use those clichéd greetings.

Xue Juzheng was even more direct, even the etiquette was saved, and he directly stepped forward to pull Lu Fei's arm, and said with an anxious face: "I heard that a few days ago, the front secretary of the palace was deliberating, and General Lu wanted to send someone to Hedong to contact the matter of peace?" ”

Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Xue Xianggong, please take a seat, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”

Xue Juzheng was serious, and said: "When the court is in danger, what's the use of sitting too comfortably? ”

When Lu Fei heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said with a smile: "Xue Xiangmo is not saying that Lu Mou sits idly by and ignores this matter?" ”

Xue Juzheng also twisted his face and said, "I didn't say that, I just want to know if General Lu is planning to negotiate peace with Hebei?" ”

Lu Fei didn't care about him, sat aside by himself, and said slowly: "Look at Xue Xianggong's attitude, is he in favor of peace?" ”

In fact, Lu Fei had never considered the matter of negotiating peace, he just wanted to delay the time, so that he could expand his strength as much as possible during this time, so that he could re-enter the battlefield with Tian to fight the strength of the male.

Xue Juzheng shook his head and said bluntly: "I am against it, since ancient times, I have never heard of the peace between the imperial court and the rebels, even if it is to be discussed, then it can only accept the alliance of the imperial court when the rebels are poor. ”

Lu Fei laughed when he heard this, and said: "Xue Xiang is worried about the country and the people, Lu admires, the matter of peace is still inconclusive, where did you get this news?" ”

"Where did it come from?" Xue Juzheng sneered for a while, pointed outside and said: "There are many discussions in the government and the opposition, and even the vendors who sell cooking cakes on the vegetables know about it, but I, the dignified prime minister, just found out, why didn't General Lu tell him bluntly, has the matter of peace been decided?" ”

"Huh!" Lu Fei inhaled a breath, stood up, and said, "It's not time to negotiate peace yet, but I want to send someone to Hedong to talk to Tian Chongjin, but this matter is something, but the candidate has not yet been decided." ”

Xue Juzheng was silent for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "So General Lu really has plans to negotiate peace?" ”

"Didn't I say it's not time yet, just go over and talk?" Lu Fei couldn't explain it to him, could he tell others that he would have to wait until he had the sole power of the army to act?

"Talk? What to talk about? Xue Juzheng's face became ugly, and it could be seen that he really cared about the government.

The sun shone in from the west through the alleyway, and a shadow on the ground was stretched long. Sanshun drooped his head and walked home, looking at the shadow on the ground, looking lonely. The high-spirited shouts of the battle array, the exciting charge, flashed in my mind; The noisy atmosphere, the brave mood of the blood rushing, gradually disappeared with the wind in this dilapidated alley, as if in a distant place.

When Sanshun got home, his cousin greeted him and talked excitedly about the shop. He didn't listen.

When he came back, he married his cousin as a daughter-in-law and held a banquet...... In the past, Sanshun thought that he was rich, and when he came back to marry the cousin who gave him a purse when they were separated, he would let the family have something to eat. Now that everything is satisfied, there is a shop and land, and there is money left, at least the mouths of the family who want to eat no longer worry about starvation; But he didn't know what was going on and still couldn't be happy.

At this time, a group of people were talking in the hall, discussing how to find tenants, how to collect rent, and what business to do in the shop.

The cousin touched Sanshun: "What do you want to do?" ”

Sanshun was stunned, he suddenly found that he couldn't do anything, so he said casually: "I can plow the ......."

My cousin shook her head and said, "The harvest from farming is small, so it's better to do business in Tokyo." It is lighter to do business, and you don't have to work hard to look at the store. ”

Sanshun was silent, he didn't know what he would do, what he could do, and he felt that it was not interesting to stay on the shop all day long, and he was very confused...... I think that when we were in the army, we did the great thing of attacking the city and destroying the country, and the enemy emperors were terrified under our horses' hooves; Thinking about it now, I don't know what use I have.

"I don't want to leave the Forbidden Army!" Sanshun said suddenly.

The cousin was stunned there, and after a while, he hurriedly persuaded: "Our family has land and property, and the battlefield is dangerous, why should my cousin go to work hard?" ”

Sanshun said seriously: "It's not so easy to die." The 20,000 Japanese troops fought many battles in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were not many deaths in total, and not a single one of the 20 people died. The salary of the forbidden army is high, and my military salary for one person is more than the rent collected for buying and selling, and it is not a reward! ”

After a while, his old mother and aunt came up to persuade him, but they couldn't persuade him. Sanshun was worried that the list of delays and resignations would be reported, and he was about to go to the barracks in a hurry.

…… The guard guarding the gate of the camp recognized Sanshun and took him to the camp office, where there were still one or twenty ragged people guarded outside the camp office, and Sanshun did not know who they were. Entering the room, a burly man was sitting in the upper position, which was the commander Sun Sheng, and there were some generals and three ragged men next to him.

Sun Sheng turned his head and looked over: "Sanshun, what's the matter with you?" ”

Sanshun said sullenly: "I want to stay, it's okay to be a miscellaneous soldier......"

Sun Sheng immediately looked at him and asked, "To join the army is to sell your life, do you understand?" ”

"Figured it out." Sanshun nodded.

Sun Sheng ignored him and turned his head to look at a stocky young man. The man was dirty and torn, his hair was stained with dirt and grass, and a strange smell came to his nose. Sun Sheng asked, "Where are the people?" ”

The strong man said: "Texas." ”

Sun Sheng asked again: "Where is Texas?" ”

The strong man said: "Chen Jiabao." ”

Sun Sheng asked him what his name was, and he said that his name was Chen Cheng. Sun Sheng told him to take off his shirt, and the man obediently stripped off his dirty clothes. Sun Sheng's eyes looked at the half-naked body, nodded and said: "The foundation is good, the chest is big, the shoulders are round, the waist is thin, and it seems that he is also a capable person." There is a stone on the threshold, you hold it up to Lao Tzu to see. ”

Chen Cheng didn't say a word, strode over and hugged the stone, "Hey! Hey......" shouted twice and didn't pick it up.

"Haha......" several generals laughed.

Chen Cheng looked embarrassed and said with a red face: "I will definitely be able to hold this stone!" However, we walked from Hebei to Tokyo, asking for food along the way, and we were so hungry that we had no strength, so the general gave me a cake to eat and try again! ”

Sun Sheng's gaze moved down, and when he saw that Chen Cheng's feet were tied with some hay rags and ropes, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and his own soldiers went to get food. Sun Sheng turned his head again and said in a deep voice: "Call Zhang Dutou." ”

Zhang Dutou is a military envoy (Dutou) of Youzhou City, Emperor Song went north to the vicinity of Zhuozhou, Zhang Dutou took the opportunity to rob the Khitan pasture horses and ran to the Song army. His subordinates successively received many soldiers from the northeastern part of the river...... Yizhou also belonged to the territory of the Liao State a few years ago, and Sun Sheng wanted Zhang Dutou to check the identity of Chen Cheng and these people.

Not long after, a round-headed man entered the camp office, and when he asked Chen Cheng if he was a person from Chenjiabao, Zhang Dutou suddenly patted his head: "The last general heard that there are generals fighting everywhere above, where are there people from Chenjiabao, and I dare to love that this is a no-brainer." ”
