In the first month of the thirteenth year of the great cause, the wheel of history has entered a new year. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
And this year may be destined to be an extraordinary year. On the third day of the first lunar month, Du Fuwei broke the Sui army and beheaded Chen Ling, the commander of the Sui army, after Liyang, he called himself the head of Jianghuai, and the goal was to lock Danyang again. Two years ago, Du Fuwei was defeated by Fang Xuanling in Danyang County, and almost all the troops were wiped out. If it weren't for the arrival of Fu Gongyou's reinforcements, maybe he would have become a dry bone by now. In the first battle of Danyang County, he lost his troops and generals, not only did he not take a city and a place in Danyang County, but was beaten by Fang Xuanling, lost the city and lost his land, and retreated to the East China Sea.
Two years later, Du Fuwei took advantage of the momentum of the Sui army and once again marched to Danyang County, vowing to seize Danyang, which was a shame.
Danyang County guards Fang Yanqian, Danyang Tong guards Fang Xuanling, Danyang Sima, Jingkou Mansion Eagle Yanglang will gather 20,000 troops and confront Du Fuwei across the river. The war was about to break out, and even Yang Guang, who was drunk and dreamed of death at night in Jiangdu, became interested in this war.
I have to say that Yang Guang is a guy with a very romantic plot.
After learning that Du Fuwei was the head of Jianghuai, Yang Guang immediately issued an edict and appointed Fang Yanqian, the Shoufang of Danyang County, as the ambassador of Jianghuai's arrest, with a rank of three products, and a county soldier and township under the jurisdiction of six counties and fifty-seven counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Aren't you the head of JAC? Let's watch my Jianghuai arrest ambassador and kill you!
Yang Guang even said to Empress Xiao in private: "I have large and small houses, but Jiang Nan'an." β
Yu Wenhua and admonished: "Jianghuai military and political affairs, all belong to the Fang family, I am afraid that something will happen." β
That means that Danyang is such an important place, and now the military and political power belongs to the Fang family father and son, I am afraid that it will make it bigger.
Yang Guang said with a smile: "Fang Yanqian reserves his innocence, how can he tarnish his name?" β
Back then, Li Yanqing sang a lime song, which made Fang Yanqian enter Yang Guang's sight.
After years of investigation, he also knows Fang Yanqian very well. Fang Yanqian cherishes his name, since he cherishes his name, he will definitely not do such a big rebellious thing.
Speaking of which, Yang Guang's surname is indeed very strange.
If he really trusts someone, then the trust will be unbearable. However, Fang Yanqian's endurance was good, and after accepting the edict, he immediately ordered to recruit heroes and heroes from the six counties he governed. Among them, the first responders are mainly the Zhang family of Wu County. Zhong Jian, the family advocate, personally led 3,000 soldiers of the Zhang clan to Danyang to join Fang Yanqian to resist Du Fuwei.
Jiangnan, in the early spring of the new year, showed a tense trend......
****
Just when Fang Yanqian and Fang Xuanling father and son were preparing to fight with Du Fuwei, Li Yanqing and the eldest grandson Wuji came to Luoyang City.
Time flies so fast, eight years have passed.
The last time Yan Qing left Luoyang, it was to escort the eldest grandson Wujian to Bashu to seek medical treatment.
Since then, he has never set foot in Luoyang for half a step!
Eight years have passed, and things are not people.
Yanqing has grown up Chengren, but this Luoyang City has also become extremely unfamiliar.
Adoptive grandfather Cheng Sai On passed away...... The Zheng family fully withdrew from Luoyang. The eldest grandson of the copper camel workshop has declined, and there is no longer the prosperity of the year, and in the past, they were called friends, and they went to their own things. So much so that after Li Yanqing came to Luoyang, he actually had a feeling of excitement, and there was always a bit of depression between his words.
Fortunately, Huairenfang is still there.
In the past, the old folks of Tianjin Bridge still recognized Li Yanqing.
After Yan Qing and the eldest grandson Wuji came to Luoyang, they directly stayed in Huairenfang Xiong's house.
"Mowgli, do you want to go back and have a look?"
The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment, shook his head and refused.
He knew where Yan Qing asked him to go back. But it was no longer his home! He had vowed to go back one day, but not now. His home is now in Gong County, in Miaoqiu Fort. The mansion in the Copper Camel Workshop has nothing to do with him now.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Before I came, I contacted my friends who were studying at the same school. He is now a student of Mr. Xu Wenyuan, a scholar who is now a scholar and well-known in Shilin. I am going to talk about Lu Chu's tone through Mr. Xu. You'd better make some preparations, if Mr. Xu agrees to talk to you in front of Lu Chu, he will probably meet you in advance. β
After coming to this era for so many years, Li Yanqing can be regarded as understanding the customs of this era.
Xu Wenyuan may be far less famous in history than Ouyang Xun and Kong Yingda. But in fact, this person is indeed a very famous scholar of this era. Its fame is not inferior to Ouyang Xun, and even greater than Ouyang Xun, and is known as a contemporary grandmaster.
He has many disciples, but the most famous one is Li Mi!
After Li Mi rebelled, Xu Wenyuan was ashamed, so he asked the court to resign. Yang Guang himself didn't care, and kept it again and again. It's a pity that Xu Wenyuan has made up his mind and resolutely resigns. Yang Guang had no choice but to agree, but still left him in Luoyang.
Compared with the wine of the country's sacrifice, there is no less than a point.
But Xu Wenyuan was reluctant to use it, saying that he had not contributed anything to the country, so how could he receive it?
So, those servants were kept in a house, and he himself sold words for a living, and his wife sewed and mended for others to earn some household income.
This has become a good story in Luoyang.
Although he had a hard time, Xu Wenyuan was also happy.
In the past, he was a disciple of his protΓ©gΓ©, and his relatives and friends also knew his stubborn surname, so they often invited him to drink. Xu Wenyuan also did not refuse to come, and he would get drunk every time. After getting drunk, he scolded Li Mi for not being a son of man, and then cried loudly, saying that he was incompetent and had cultivated such a thief.
Li Yanqing had also heard about Xu Wenyuan.
He didn't know if Xu Wenyuan was really like this, or if he was pretending.
However, he knew that the relationship between Xu Wenyuan and Lu Chu was indeed good. As an auxiliary minister, Lu Chu is in charge of Luoyang government affairs and has nothing to do with Yanqing. Li Yanqing wants to visit Lu Chu, and he also needs some ways. There is no doubt that Xu Wenyuan is the bridge between the two.
This is also the reason why Li Yanqing brought his eldest grandson Wuji.
After all, he has been away from Luoyang for too long and is not very familiar with Luoyang. And the eldest grandson Wuji has lived in that circle since he was a child, relatively speaking, he is much more familiar than Li Yanqing.
Yan Qing nodded in agreement, discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji for a while, and went out separately.
He was going to the Wei Mansion to report to Duan Da, the general of Zuo Xiaowei.
Duan Da is also the most powerful minister under the three auxiliary ministers of the Eastern Capital. In charge of the soldiers and horses in the area around Luoyang, he is Li Yanqing's superior. This person was born in Guzang, his father Duan Yan, when the Northern Dynasty Shuozhou Thorn History, Xiangyuan County Gong. Duan Da, inherited the title at the age of three.
Long before Emperor Wen of Sui usurped Zhou, Duan Da was a close confidant of Emperor Wen of Sui.
After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the title of general of the chariot and cavalry, and performed his military exploits. Later, Yang Guang ascended the throne, and Duan Da was named the general of the Left Guard because of his work from the dragon. During the conquest of Tuyuhun, he made meritorious service again and was named Guanglu Doctor. In the great cause, Zhang Jin called it strange, and Duan Da went to conquer. In the early stage, Duan Da was repeatedly defeated and was nicknamed 'Duan Ma' by the rebels. However, it was this Duan Mada, who took advantage of the arrogance of the righteous army to suddenly launch a counterattack and defeat Zhang Jincheng in one fell swoop.
This person is cautious in his life, and he is good at making a preemptive move.
Although he often gives people a sense of cowardice, in fact, he is a ruthless and resourceful person.
When Li Yanqing met Duan Da, it coincided with the handover between Duan Da and Fan Zigai.
It turned out that Fan Zigai was ordered to go to Hedong, and Duan Da would take over Fan Zigai's position, stay behind for Luoyang, and assist Yang Tong together with Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu.
The news was too sudden, and Yan Qing couldn't help but feel unprepared.
So he hastily reported to Duan Da and said goodbye and left. Duan Da was also not very enthusiastic, and he didn't seem to be very interested in Li Yanqing.
Fan Zigai, he was going to be transferred!
He supported his appointment as Henan's ambassador for the arrest.
If Fan Zigai is transferred, doesn't that mean that among the three major auxiliary ministers, none of them can support him?
After Li Yanqing left the Wei Mansion, he still felt a little dizzy.
If Fan Zigai leaves, even if he convinces Lu Chu, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. After all, judging from Duan Da's attitude towards himself, I'm afraid he won't support himself. Whether Yang Qing is willing to come forward to say something for himself is still between the two. If Yuan Wen disagrees again, doesn't that mean that he has little hope?
This relationship is too complicated!
Li Yanqing began to feel a headache and was ready to go home to meet with his eldest grandson Wuji to discuss the matter.
When he arrived in Tongyuan City, suddenly a military academy appeared in front of Yan Qing and blocked his way.
"But Li Langjun?"
"Ah, exactly."
Yan Qing looked at the other party, dressed in military uniform, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He is now in Luoyang City, and it seems that he no longer knows anyone except Pei Renji and his son.
The retainers of the Pei family have their own unique signs, which can be recognized at a glance. Speaking of Qing, this military academy, the dress is very ordinary, not the style of the world.
The military academy arched his hand and said: "My family Langjun asked Li Langjun to borrow a step." β
"Who is your family?"
"Li Langjun met in the past, so he naturally understood."
Yan Qing is not afraid, someone will harm him in this Luoyang City.
After all, as a dignified general of the Black Stone Mansion, he is also a military position of the fifth grade.
If you want to embarrass him, the impact is too great. Although Yang Guang is not in Luoyang, after all, he is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to act rashly?
So Li Yanqing thought about it, nodded and said, "Please lead the way." β
Liang Laoshi took a dozen Qilin guards and was thirty steps behind. Li Yanqing and the military academy were in front, and after walking out of Tongyuan City, they walked along the Luopu River embankment for a while, and after a while, they came to a small bridge. At the head of the bridge, dozens of military schools stand; And under the bridge, a small boat is moored.
"Li Langjun, please come on board, my family Langjun is on the boat."
It seems that the other party has nothing to shy away from, otherwise there is no need to put on such a big formation.
Dozens of military academies are guarding the bridge, so how obvious is the goal? Even if you want to hide, it's not possible. The more the other party is like this, the more curious Li Yanqing becomes. He really couldn't figure out who the people on this boat were. Bae In-ki? It seems that there is no need to do so.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing dismounted and threw the reins to Liang Laoshi, and asked him to take people and wait at the bridge.
He boarded the boat, but saw that the person in the stern of the boat was also a military academy. Sensing Yan Qing's gaze, the military academy nodded at him and smiled slightly.
Li Yanqing also smiled, stepped forward, and lifted the curtain.
"General Fan!"
The furnishings in the small cabin are very simple.
A crude couch, a dining table, on which are placed wine and food.
The bulkheads are covered with silk cloth as an ornament. Two small windows, the veil flutters in the wind, revealing a simple and elegant atmosphere.
Fan Zigai was sitting next to the dining table, twisting a green plum and putting it into the wine kettle. Under the kettle, there is a small stove, the fire is blazing, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.
Li Yanqing had met Fan Zigai before, but he had never had a relationship.
Therefore, at first glance, he saw Fan Zigai sitting in the cabin, and he also made a green plum boiled wine, which surprised him quite a lot. The boat is not luxurious, but it is tasteful. However, Fan Zigai described himself as rude, sitting in such a simple and elegant environment, more or less, making people feel a little abrupt.
"Li Langjun, sit down."
Fan Zigai cooked the wine carefully, and said without raising his head.
Cooking wine is also a kind of ancient elegance.
Li Yanqing took off his boots, stepped into the cabin, and knelt next to Fan Zigai.
"I'm not looking for you today to talk about heroes. It's just that when I watched the Three Kingdoms two years ago, I sealed a chapter of green plum cooking wine, and I happened to see a few green plums growing in the garden, so I had a little interest. People say that my Fan Zigai is a killer, but when it comes to this elegant event, I can't help but be moved. I heard that you came to Luoyang, so I waited here. How is it, have you ever met Grandma Duan? What's the catch? β
Fan Zigai, who doesn't seem to be in tune with Duan Da, actually calls him Grandma Duan publicly.
In fact, everyone in Luoyang knows that Duan Dahao calls Fan Zigai an embryokiller, and Fan Zigai likes to call him Grandma Duan.
Li Yanqing secretly felt bitter in his heart, and he really didn't know what Fan Zigai's intention was to come to him. But he could hear that there seemed to be a contradiction between the two. That Fan Zigai is now looking for him, isn't it equivalent to putting himself on the opposite side of Duan Da? If he had known this, Yan Qing would have tried to refuse.
But now that he has come, Yan Qing doesn't regret it.
Sighing secretly in his heart, he said, "General Duan seems to be quite dissatisfied with the young general, and his words are very cold. So after the young general finished his report, he said goodbye and left, what did he gain? β
"Hmph, that's true!"
Fan Zigai smiled, "Grandma Duan seems to have made a decision. β
He scooped a spoonful of wine from the kettle, filled it with the bronze jue in front of Li Yanqing, and then turned his head and said softly: "Open the boat!" β
The boat shook slightly and slowly left the bridge.
Follow Luoshui and walk along Luopu.
In early spring, the drizzle is drizzling.
The green willows on both sides of the strait are like girls shrouded in a layer of light yarn, slim and elegant, dancing with the wind.
Fan Zigai took a sip of green plum wine and said to Yan Qing: "I will leave in three days and go to Hedong." After Lao Zhang's death, I would have liked to recommend you to take over the post of ambassador for the arrest. Just because you have a reputation, and you have won a few battles, you are the most suitable candidate.
Unexpectedly, I was suddenly transferred to Hedong, and I couldn't help but be a little caught off guard.
What was supposed to be a good idea has now become a bad thing. I had already persuaded Lao Lu that you would take over the post of ambassador for the arrest, and you would have an eyebrow. But now, it's getting a little troublesome...... The purpose of your visit to Luoyang this time, I am also very clear in my heart. You don't need to worry about Lao Lu's side. But Lao Yuan and Duan Da are afraid that they will support Wang Shichong. Your troubles are not small. β
When Yan Qing heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Yuan Wendu, has already made a decision?
He didn't want to hide the purpose of his trip, and at the same time, he couldn't hide it.
He came to Luoyang to run for officials! Who can't see this kind of thing?
Although I don't know why Fan Zigai is willing to help him, Yan Qing is still very grateful in his heart.
He raised his head and asked, "General Fan, is it really irretrievable?"
The youngster also knows that he is not qualified enough. But the young general dared to say: This Xingyang County, if you are not a young general, no one can take on this important task.
Wang Shichong, the young general doesn't understand.
But the young general has had a confrontation with the ant thief, and he is also well aware of the situation in Xingyang County. If the young general is appointed as the ambassador of Henan's arrest, he will definitely be able to pacify Wagang in less than a year. β
This is the way of the official, and sometimes it must be taken seriously.
Although Fan Zigai is gone, he is Yang Guang's favorite minister. Li Yanqing knew that his current situation was not good, but he still made his words clear. It's one thing for you to be inappropriate, and it's another thing to say it or not. He had to show his desire for the position.
"I also know that you are the right person right now.
But you have to understand that Wang Shichong's merits may not be worse than yours. He has the exploits of pacifying Liu Yuanjin, Ge Qian and Lu Mingyue, and has always been by His Majesty's side. The most important thing is that he has the Taiyuan Wang family behind him to support him, and you are a little weak compared to him.
I call you to-day for three things. β
Yan Qing hurriedly said: "I wish to hear the general's teachings." β
"First, I have asked the acting king for reinforcements, and summoned Pang Yu, the general of the Left Prison Gate, and Huo Shiju, the general of Hu Benlang, to lead two troops and horses to enter the eastern capital. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the garrison of the eastern capital, and on the other hand, it is also because the two of them are old and can control Wang Shichong. β
The general of the prison gate, from the third grade; Tiger Ben Lang will be the fourth product.
Li Yanqing looked at Fan Zigai in astonishment, revealing a strange look.
It seems that Fan Zigai doesn't seem to be very at ease with Wang Shichong......
Fan Zigai was stunned, and then said: "Second, Li Mi proclaimed himself the King of Wei in Wagang, and he had erected the banner of rebellion and rebellion. I speculate that when he becomes king, he will inevitably do something. Xingyang County is the gateway to the eastern capital, and the stakes are very high. Once Xingyang County is lost, the impact will be immeasurable.
Therefore, I hope that whether you can do it in Henan or not, you will do your best to protect Xingyang and Luokoucang.
After all, you are still the Eagle General of the Black Stone Mansion, and you must not forget your responsibilities to guard your family and the land, and you must not forget it because of your personal gains and losses. Do you understand? β
Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The young general will definitely do his best to defend Xingyang." β
However, from Fan Zigai's words, he experienced a different taste.
Didn't you mean...... Do you still have a chance?
Sure enough, Fan Zigai smiled and nodded, showing a look of satisfaction.
"As for the position of Henan's ambassador, in fact, you are not without opportunities.
It's just that the object of your attention is a little off. That's right, the three left-behind auxiliary ministers do have the responsibility of recommending candidates. But you have to remember that whether it is Yuan Wendu, Lao Lu and Duan Da, or even His Royal Highness King Yue, it is only a recommendation, not a decision.
The one who really decides is Your Majesty...... If His Majesty thinks that Wang Shichong is suitable, no one can stop him; If Your Majesty thinks he is not suitable...... Hehe, even if it is recommended by the three left-behind auxiliary ministers, it is useless. Instead of tossing in Luoyang, it is better to think about how to make His Majesty agree. β
Yan Qing couldn't help but let out a soft exhalation!
He suddenly felt that he seemed to be going in the wrong direction from the beginning.
The person who decided to arrest the ambassador was not in Luoyang, not in Chang'an, but in ...... Jiangdu!
