Chapter 973: Chang'an Palace Lou Si Zhongchen
After leaving Yu Wenqian's courtyard, Guo Ye did not return to the main hall as soon as possible to continue sleeping, but went to the gate of Pomiao Mountain to explain to the four Xichuan soldiers, and asked them to escort Yu Wenqian to the port of fifty miles after dawn, and accompanied her to Dachen Kingdom.
At the beginning, the four loyal Xichuan sergeants naturally refused to allow it in every way, but they couldn't stand Guo Ye's good words, and finally moved out on the grounds that "soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty", and finally persuaded the four to agree to go to sea with Yu Wenqian to Dachen Kingdom.
During this period, the four sergeants naturally couldn't help but lie on the ground and weep, saying that they were reluctant and kowtowing to pray for blessings, wishing the adults to take care all the way and return to Datang safely.
After explaining everything, Guo Ye returned to the main hall to sleep, he had to take care of his spirits and wait for dawn to leave the broken temple, enter the mountains for a few days of trekking, and leave Tianzhu to return to the Tang Dynasty.
At dawn the next day, he seemed to deliberately avoid Yuwenqian and Yunsheng, and it seemed that he really slept to death, and he stayed in the hall from beginning to end and never appeared again.
At the same time, the four sergeants who had been confessed by Guo Ye at night came to the abandoned courtyard, found Yunshang and Yu Wenqian, and forcibly escorted their master and servant to leave the broken temple and go fifty miles away.
At this moment, as if everyone had a heart for each other, Yu Wenqian and Yunshang didn't ask them about Guo Ye, so they left silently.
It wasn't until three hours later that Guo Ye, who was quietly following them, appeared on a hill not far from the port, watching Yunshang negotiate with the owner of a Tianzhu cargo ship, and watching Yu Wenqian and several soldiers get on the ship and never come down.
Call~
He exhaled deeply, his eyes were a little moist, and he sighed: "Yu Wenqian, I hope you will do it yourself and never come back!" ”
Yu Wenqian, gone.
Yunshang is also gone.
This time, these two women who had a relationship with him in a daze are really gone!
Moreover, they have traveled far enough to be far away in this life, when they may never see each other again.
Then, he cleaned up his slightly heavy mood and slowly descended from the mountain bag and returned to the ruined temple.
He didn't have anything to prepare, just brought some of the dry food left over from before, and used it to satisfy his hunger when he was ready to enter the mountain, who knows how long he would have to hike through this mountain range, and if he didn't bring a little dry food with him, he would starve to death before he returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Ready, unconcerned, although it is past noon, the twilight is coming, and it is time to leave.
Carrying a bag and dry food, go into the mountains and trek through it.
Guo Ye finally traveled alone and embarked on the journey back to the border of the Tang Dynasty......
Maybe when he returns to Datang and arrives in Chang'an, it is already snowing heavily and it is a cold winter day, and he hopes to rush to the fifth year of Zhenguan to reunite with Xiuxiu around the fireplace.
……
……
After a full four months, the northern part of the Central Plains has long been frozen for thousands of miles, and the scenery of thousands of miles of snow drifting.
In Chang'an, there was heavy snowfall, and it snowed heavily for more than ten days.
His Majesty Li Er wore a white velvet fox fur and came up to the palace gate city wall surrounded by a group of inner servants and eunuchs, and the two inner servants held a huge yellow cover to block the falling snow for His Majesty Li Er, and the goose feather-like snowflakes fell and fell on the umbrella cover, making a sneering sound.
Dong Shunshun's father-in-law, who had just been directing the inner servants to be busy, had to take a leisurely moment, and came forward with a soft and thick coat, carefully draped it on His Majesty Li Er, and whispered with concern: "Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Gonggong Shun asked two eunuchs to bring a cushioned Taishi chair and invited the emperor to sit down and enjoy the snow.
However, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and refused, he still stood and did not sit down, and then tightened the fox fur around his neck, took out a breath of hot air to warm his hands, rubbed it to keep warm, and finally fixed his eyes on Chang'an City as far as his eyes could see.
At this time, the snow has covered the huge Chang'an City in a white expanse, and the magnificent mountains and rivers are covered in silver, which is extremely enchanting.
Accompanying His Majesty Li Er to the city tower to enjoy the snow was Shangshu's right servant, Sun Wuji, who bowed down and walked forward, and recited in a low voice: "It's really a great river and mountain, Li Tangtianxia is now beginning to have a prosperous scene, this is the work of His Majesty's Zhenguan rule for five years!" ”
In normal times, His Majesty Li Er's words to the eldest grandson Wuji are definitely very useful.
But today he seemed to be a little uninterested, shook his head and sighed: "It's the end of the year, but Chang'an has not stopped snowing for more than ten days. It can be seen that the weather in the north is cold and the snow is deep. Alas...... It's really a pain for the people of the world, and I don't know how many of my people have to die in vain in this great snowstorm. There must have been countless people who froze to death or starved to death. Auxiliary machine, if there is hunger in the wilderness, and there are frozen bones on the road, how can we talk about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? This snow disaster may be a warning from the heavens, as the king of a country, I am guilty, guilty......"
"Uh......"
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to the words of the emperor's brother-in-law, and was suddenly speechless, it seems that he just had a hot face and a cold ass, and he chose the wrong time to show the wrong feelings.
Immediately, he laughed embarrassedly twice and covered up: "Your Majesty, this man-made disaster can be avoided, how can a natural disaster be avoided?" How long this snow will fall is not up to you, Your Majesty, right? Therefore, the emperor does not need to blame himself. Besides, didn't you urge the Ministry of Households to allocate disaster relief money to various state capitals and do their best to save it? The ancient holy monarchs are nothing more than that. Your Majesty, you have done well enough. ”
"Ancient Sage?"
A snowflake fell on His Majesty Li Er's face, instantly turning into water stains, and the cold to his bones made His Majesty Li Er feel excited, and then said to the eldest Sun Wuji: "If what I do today can be called a holy monarch, then this holy monarch is too cheap." I am just doing my duty as an emperor, and if an emperor can't keep his people fed, clothed, and housed, is he still worthy of being the king of a country? I have decided that if the heavy snow does not stop for another five days, I will issue an edict to punish myself for sin, ask the heavens and the earth for my sin, and pray for the blessings of all the people in the world! ”
"No, no, no~"
The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand again and again to persuade him: "Your Majesty, you can't help it, this crime is unacceptable!" ”
Don't blame the eldest grandson Wuji for being nervous, if this sin is a one, although His Majesty Li Er, who is the king of a country, will be infamous all over the world, as an auxiliary minister, how can he be alone? It must be hard to escape.
Think about it, the emperor will not govern the world, and he will make the heavens angry and resentful, aren't the courtiers all some corpses and waste?
To put it mildly, it is his eldest grandson Wuji, as an auxiliary minister, who does nothing and occupies the pit and does not.
To put it more seriously, the emperor has issued an edict for his own crimes, and your eldest grandson Wuji, as an auxiliary minister, shouldn't he thank the world with death?
As soon as he thought of this, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately began to think of a way to start dispelling the crazy idea of the emperor's brother-in-law, and with a poof, despite the fact that the ground was covered with heavy snow, he bowed to the ground and pleaded: "Your Majesty, you must not go down if you are guilty of your own edict!" ”
Without waiting for His Majesty Li Er to react, the eldest grandson Wuji has begun to count the exploits of His Majesty Li Er's Zhenguan in the past few years: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has been diligent and thrifty, recuperating and recuperating, working hard, lightly conscription, emphasizing social discipline, being generous, and knowing etiquette. Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for less than 20 years, it has gradually become rich and strong, and has begun to take on the prosperity of the Celestial Empire. Externally, after my Datang destroyed its old enemy Eastern Turks, it has repeatedly expanded its territory, first the seven cities of Tuyuhun were returned to my Datang, and became the Tuyuhun Road under the jurisdiction of Datang. Then there is the Tubo State, and the British Duke, the general manager of the march in Tubo this time, sent a good news the day before yesterday to defeat Xue Yantuo's army again. The British public threatened that within a month, Xue Yantuo would be defeated, and the Tubo Kingdom would soon return to the Tang Dynasty and become the twelfth Dao of our Tang Dynasty. ”
"Oh?"
Obviously, the last words of the eldest grandson Wuji aroused the interest of His Majesty Li Er, and his face gradually softened, and he asked: "So, after the British Duke Li Ji led an army of 100,000 into Tibet, he was like a bamboo, and he won many great victories?" As far as I know, although the Tubo Kingdom is in chaos now, there are at least one million slave troops and nearly 50,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry! Auxiliary, you get up and answer, and kneel on the ground in the cold, isn't this a sin? ”
Seeing that the emperor's brother-in-law no longer seemed to be worried about his own edict, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately smiled, got up from the ground, shook the snow on his knees, and arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true that there are millions of slave troops in Tubo, but the million slave army is completely vulnerable in the face of the strong army of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, I heard that among the slave army, there are also Tubo people in some cities who have repeatedly revolted and submitted to our Tang Dynasty, so it indirectly dismantled the monolithic situation of the Tubo army. Besides, the British Duke now personally led an army of 100,000 troops, changed the traditional combat methods of the past, and used new tactics, so that the recalcitrant forces of Tibet and the cavalry of Xue Yantuo did not care about each other at all. What is it called? Rong Chen thought about it...... Oh yes, it's called - Blitzkrieg! ”
"Blitzkrieg?"
When His Majesty Li Er heard these three words, his face suddenly stiffened, obviously stimulated by these three words, and muttered to himself: "If I remember correctly, this lightning tactic was still provided to the British Duke by Hou Guoye of Yizhou, right?" Alas, Guo Ye's son, it's a pity, I shouldn't have sent him to Tubo, I hurt him! ”
Dry!
The eldest grandson Wuji felt a pang in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for not opening which pot to mention, why did he mention the blitzkrieg in front of the emperor's brother-in-law?
No, it aroused the emperor's brother-in-law's concern for Guo Ye again!
Guo Ye!!
Hmph, you have to block my eldest grandson Wuji even when you die, it's really a pity to die!
However, it was useless for him to regret it, now His Majesty Li Er's mind was full of bits and pieces of acquaintance with Guo Ye, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his voice was a little choked and asked:
"Auxiliary, I asked you to personally handle the aftermath of Hou Guoye in Yizhou, how prepared are you? Although there are no bones left now, I can't just let him go so unknowingly, right? I should reward him and care for him, I will give him together, set up a crown mound for him, let him be buried in a grand manner, don't chill the hearts of the courtiers! ”
