Chapter 4 Sui Yang'an is here?

Although Sui Yang has perished, Sui Yang's clan still exists. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning of the third year of Wude, the great Turkic khan Ashina Lifu died of illness two years after his accession to the throne. In his place, he was succeeded by the third son of Qimin Khan, Ashina Dubi, known as Jieli Khan. This man was as tough as his brother Shibi Khan, and had great ambitions for the rich Central Plains. However, the aggressive Kedun, that is, the Turkic princess, is the Sui Yang clan, Princess Yicheng.

Speaking of this princess of Yicheng, it is necessary to mention the Khan of Qimin.

In history, the Khan of Qimin was also the only Khan to marry two princesses of the clan in a row. After the death of Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan succeeded him. According to Turkic customs, the son marries the mother, so the Shibi Khan Ashina Luji married Princess Yicheng as the princess. Later, Ashina Duji died of illness, and Princess Yicheng married Ashina Lifu again.

Now, Ashina Lifu has died, and she has become Ashina's aggressive wife again.

Princess Yicheng has close ties with the Sui Yang royal family, so it is not impossible for Empress Dowager Xiao to ask her for support.

The Central Plains War ended, and Li Tang's vitality did not recover.

If there is a real war with the Turks, the outcome is not yet known.

And the most important thing is that once the Turks and Li Tang start a war, and the Empress Dowager Xiao will unite with Xiao Mo to attack across the river, even if Li Tang wins, it will be a loss of life and corpses...... At that time, will Li Tang be able to hold on any longer?

Presumably, this is what Li Yuan is worried about.

Li Yanqing raised his head and glanced at the court, but saw that everyone's reactions were very rich.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng shook his head slightly, while Li Shimin showed perseverance. With just one glance, Li Yanqing saw the clue.

The crown prince is reluctant to go to war...... Li Shimin, on the other hand, seems to hold the opposite opinion.

looked at Li Yuan again, but Li Yuan's expression was calm, so that Li Yanqing couldn't see the truest thoughts in his heart.

In fact, it is nothing more than a question of war and peace.

As far as King Qin is concerned, war can bring him more honor and even increase his own strength.

As far as Li Jiancheng is concerned, as the crown prince, he naturally thinks about more things than King Qin, so he agrees to negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, the minister has just arrived in Chang'an, and he is not clear about the situation, so I am afraid it will be difficult to answer."

This is a trick to make peace with the mud, Li Yanqing has just arrived, and many things are not even clear, so he naturally can't answer.

Li Yuan apparently agreed.

"The attitude of the Suzhou envoy is very tough, and it is difficult to make a decision at this time.

It's better to go here today, and Rong Zhen will think about it again...... However, the matter of receiving the envoy from Suzhou cannot be slackened.

Yangzhen, I heard that the messenger is still your acquaintance, Fang Qiao Fang Xuanling, can you recognize it? ”

This sentence is inevitably a bit redundant.

Who doesn't know that the development of Fang Xuanling's father and son originated from Li Yanqing's poem "Lime Yin"?

Li Yanqing didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, the minister and Fang Qiao are indeed quite familiar.

When Yang Xuan was in turmoil, the minister assisted Fang Qiao in regaining Zhengzhou. It's just that after that, Fang Qiao went to Danyang with his father Fang Yanqian, and there was no contact after that. He came suddenly this time, and the minister was also very surprised. ”

The more frank you are, the more you can dispel your doubts.

Anyway, the matter between Li Yanqing and Fang Xuanling's father and son is not a secret, if you deny it, it will make people suspicious.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, "In this case, the matter of receiving the envoy from Suzhou will be temporarily taken care of by Yangzhen." ”

Let me be in charge of the reception room Xuanling?

Yan Qing looked at Li Yuan in amazement, a little unsure of what he meant.

No matter from any aspect, it is impossible for Li Yanqing to receive it.

First of all, to receive visiting envoys, that is the business of Honglu Temple. No matter how bad it is, it is necessary for the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to come forward.

Secondly, although Yan Qing is a world-famous scholar, he doesn't understand how to receive this at all.

Just like the diplomats of later generations, what they came forward to represent was the national system and Li Tang's face. If there is any bad pool, it will have a bad effect. Etiquette, accommodation arrangements, food and drink, etc., all have corresponding rules.

Rites have an extremely important position in the history of China.

Leave such a big matter to Li Yanqing to deal with...... Li Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

Could it be that Li Yuan wants to borrow such a method to suppress himself?

———————————————————————————— came out of the Lizheng Palace, Yan Qing was still a little dazed.

Li Jiancheng invited him to a banquet, but Yan Qing was pushed away by Yan Qing because he was tired and tired.

When he staggered by Li Shimin, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Wang, this reunion of old friends in Chang'an, I must be in a good mood." ”

"Oh, it's okay, thank you King Qin for your concern."

Both of them were very polite, with smiles on their faces.

But there is a little wariness of each other, but no one will say it.

"King Li stays!"

Behind him came the voice of Anstzer's call.

Li Yanqing turned to look, but saw An Shi coming from the Lizheng Hall in a hurry.

"The King of Henan, please stay, Your Majesty has a decree, and the King of Henan Pavilion will ask questions......"

"Huh?"

This front foot has just finished the discussion, and the back foot is called to the stadium pavilion to ask?

Li Yanqing was a little confused, but he hurriedly stepped forward to agree.

When the hour had passed, Li Yanqing had been on the road all night, and was already hungry after discussing matters in the Lizheng Palace.

However, he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and followed Anshi Ze and hurried to the stadium pavilion.

Li Yuan was eating, and when he saw Li Yanqing coming, he smiled and said, "Yangzhen, sit down quickly, and eat with me." ”

"I'm not hungry!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that I'm not hungry, but I don't dare.

Hurry up and sit down, when Kuro was here, he used to eat with me. After Jiurou left, it became difficult for me to find someone to eat quietly. ”

Over there, An Shi had already prepared the table, and Li Yanqing saw that he couldn't refuse, so he sat down with Li Yuan.

"Yangzhen, I heard that Cuiyun has added a daughter to you?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it's a girl...... Hehe, six catties and four taels, Cuiyun named her Yuhuan, but it is very cute. ”

"Really? Then catch Ming'er, Cuiyun is here, let her take your child into the palace, so that I can also be happy. ”

Li Yuan said and took a sip of porridge.

"You have a son and two daughters now, right?"

"Exactly."

"Is the tiger's head good?"

Tiger head is Li Zhou's milk name.

At the beginning, Li Zhou was born and had a tiger head and a tiger brain, so he got the nickname of the tiger head. Li Yanqing didn't deliberately hide anything, so it was normal for Li Yuan to know Li Zhou's name.

"The tiger head is good, but it's a little noisy."

"It's good for a child to be noisy, and if it's noisy, it means that he is in good health."

Li Yuan smiled and talked with Yan Qing, not only Yan Qing's family, but also Pei Renji and others.

He pulled out a sentence and said something from the west, which seemed to be a little confusing.

There seems to be no connection between the words, if you change people, you may think that this Li Yuan has Alzheimer's.

But Yanqing heard the clue!

Li Yuan's words included many people.

Pei Renji, Du Ruhui, Yao Yi, Xue Shu...... Even Xu Jing Ancestor Shou asked.

Yan Qing immediately understood that Li Yuan would definitely discuss with him the transfer of officials in Zhengzhou, Huaizhou, and Weizhou next.

After all, the officials in these three states are all Li Yanqing's descendants.

And from Li Yuan's words, Yan Qing also heard that Li Yuan was not willing to make peace with Xiao Sui.

"Xue Dalang is an interesting guy!"

Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Yangzhen, with Dalang's talent, living in Xiangzhou, I'm afraid it's a bit condescending."

I know him, he has been an assertive child since he was a child.

Now that the war in the Central Plains is calm, all parts of the country are in ruins. Chang'an is also busy with government affairs, but there are not many people available in my hands...... There are many affairs in the military department, and Da Lang is a person who knows the soldiers, so I want him to be the middle of the military department, how about it? ”

The military department has one Shangshu and two waiters.

Below the waiter, there are also two people in the middle of the pole.

In terms of rank, this soldier is not high. But it's a powerful position, and there is a great chance of promotion.

Li Yanqing said without hesitation: "Da Lang is the most suitable to serve as the middle of the military department.

However, His Majesty appoints courtiers without consulting them. Da Lang is a courtier of His Majesty, not a courtier of a minister, just call it. ”

"Yangzhen!"

"The Ministers Are in ......"

"You're a smart kid, and I don't want to hide anything.

Zhengzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, and Xiangzhou, the officials of these four places, I will definitely have adjustments. But I want to tell you that I'm not doing this against you. For the courtiers who have meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, I will never treat them badly. ”

Li Yanqing looked at Li Yuan.

And Li Yuan did not dodge, but looked at each other frankly.

After a long time, Li Yanqing said: "The country is Your Majesty's country, and the courtiers are Your Majesty's courtiers."

The child has a saying, from the bottom of his heart. Whether it is Da Lang or Ke Ming, including Tiger, Xu Shiji, etc., they are all the talents of my Tang Dynasty pillars. They have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, although they are not Taiyuan Yuancong, but they are also dedicated.

His Majesty wants to adjust them, and the minister has no opinion...... I only hope that His Majesty will give them more attention, and not let the soldiers shed blood and tears. The child will never be involved in this matter. Your Majesty is only responsible for his actions, and the child has no complaints. ”

Li Yanqing is Li Yuan's nephew, although he is not directly related, but he calls himself a 'child', which is not an exaggeration.

Li Yuan was stunned and muttered to himself.

After a long time, he said softly: "Yangzhen, you don't live up to me, and I don't live up to you!" ”

Li Yanqing got up and bowed.

After dinner, Li Yanqing accompanied Li Yuan and took a walk in the back garden of Xiyuan. The two began to talk from the first meeting in the fourth year of Renshou until Li Yanqing returned from Luoyang. The story of more than ten years seems to be endless.

suddenly talked about the deceased Mrs. Dou and Li Xiaoji, and suddenly talked about their respective experiences.

From noon to noon, Li Yuan let go of the celebration and left.

Tian Feng was still guarding outside the Chengtian Gate, and when he saw Yanqing coming out, he hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward, "The slave maid is ordered to lead the way for King Li." ”

This Chang'an is very big!

Although it has not yet reached the grand atmosphere of later generations, the scale has begun to take shape.

It's just that from Li Yuan's capture of Chang'an to the present, it has only been three or four years. To say that it is completely governed, of course, is unlikely.

There was some chaos in the city, Hu people, Persians, Zhenla people, Tianzhu people, mixed together.

If you want to achieve the effect of complete and proper governance, I am afraid it is difficult to do it without a ten-year situation.

Tian Feng led Li Yanqing to the outside of Longqing Fang.

I saw that outside the gate of Henan Wangfu, there were groups of cars and horses, which was particularly lively.

It turned out that it was the eldest grandson Wujian and Duoduo, who had arrived in Chang'an.

The sergeants carried their luggage from the chariot, while Liang Laoshi stood outside the gate of the mansion, holding one arm and commanding loudly.

Tian Feng and Li Yanqing said goodbye and said that the Internal Government Bureau had arranged all the items.

If Li Yanqing needs to repair the palace, he must report to Zongzheng Temple, and Zongzheng Temple will report it, and after approval, the Ministry of Household will allocate funds. However, if Li Yanqing is willing to pay for the repair of the palace by himself, there is no need for so much trouble.

In the house, a maid and maid have been arranged.

If Yanqing is not satisfied, he can repatriate them and recruit them himself.

It's just that the ministers must report to the Interior Bureau. However, this will not be too troublesome, because the Inner Government Bureau is in the hands of Tian Feng.

After Li Yanqing sent Tian Feng away, he walked into the palace.

"Lord, this place is really big!"

Liang honestly accompanied Yanqing and sighed softly.

"Honestly, from now on, don't call me the lord anymore, call me the prince.

This is no better than Luoyang, my every move will be seen by others, infinitely magnified, so there must be no mistakes in this courtesy......"

Liang Laoshi hurriedly said: "I understand." ”

"What about the two ladies?"

"Madame is tired and rests in the back house...... The prince was relieved, and the second lady drove those maids out from behind, and only arranged for her own people to go in. Outside the back house, Lord Shen has also made arrangements, which is absolutely foolproof, so there is no need to worry. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, and suddenly stopped.

On the edge of a lake in the back house, there is a small pavilion.

The eldest grandson Wuji was sitting in the pavilion, pouring himself a drink, looking very leisurely.

"Honestly, you go down first...... Arrange the carriage as soon as possible...... I'm a little tired today, and if anyone comes in, I won't see anybody. ”

"Whoa!"

Liang honestly bowed and retreated, while Li Yanqing walked into the pavilion.

"Mowgli, you're free."

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't get up either, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, the whole sheep roasted in Chongyi Fang that I just bought is really good." ”

"You guy, you have a really tricky mouth...... How long has it been since you came to know the roasted whole sheep in Chongyi Fang? ”

"Ha, this roast sheep in Chongyi Fang is first-class and famous.

When my father was alive, he often took me over to taste it...... Later, I went to Luoyang, although there was also roast sheep, but it did not have the taste of this Chongyi Fang. Come on, come on, don't stand, enter the palace today, I'm afraid I'm hungry. ”

"It's not that I'm hungry, it's just that something happened today, and I just want to discuss it with you."

Li Yanqing sat down, cut off a piece of mutton with a knife, and put it in his mouth. While eating, he told the story again.

Then he said: "I can hear that Your Majesty does not seem to be ready to negotiate peace, and has already made up his mind to unify Jiangnan.

Its attitude is extremely resolute.

It's just that I don't understand, why do you want me to go to the old house? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji quietly listened to Yanqing's narration and couldn't help laughing.

"Yangzhen, you say that this world, whose world is it?"

"Of course it's Your Majesty's world!"

"Then Suzhou, is it Li Tang Jiangshan?"

"Although it has not yet been captured, it is not the king's land under the whole world, so it can not be counted."

The eldest grandson Wuji asked again: "In that case, who does the old house represent?" ”

"Old house...... The national book says that it is Sui Yang in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, it represents Sui Yang? ”

"Then let me ask you, where is Sui Yang'an?"

Yan Qing couldn't help but be stunned!
