Although the Turkic Viga Khan ordered tribute and marriage proposals, the Tibetan offensive did not end. Just when Li Longji was about to take his ministers from Luoyang, the eastern capital, where he had stayed for more than two years, to return to Chang'an, Xijing, an urgent report of military intelligence came from the west again.

Tubo Zampu and Turgish Khan Sulu soldiers and horses besieged the town of Anxi

However, a few days later, news came from Anxi Town, and Zhao Yizhen, the deputy capital of Anxi, led the army to break the coalition army. The court had just breathed a sigh of relief, but another bigger bad news suddenly came.

Hexi Longyoujiedu defeated Wang Jun to death

Wang Jun was very reused by Li Longji because of his outstanding military exploits, and in addition to his own imperial history, even his elderly father was favored by Li Longji, and the official worshiped the Shaofu Supervisor Zhishi, and his wife Xia was also named the Lady of Wuwei County because of his military exploits. This unbelievable news was initially dismissed as ridiculous, but with the arrival of various details, it was said that Wang Jun was ambushed by his old enemy, the Hui people, when he led the envoy to the Turks, he was ambushed by his old enemy, the Hui people, and even some people said that he was escorting and even planning to take his body to Tibet.

Not only in the DPRK, but the news spread to the various departments in Hexi, but the reaction of the Tiele tribes such as Hui Suqi was indifferent, and some people even applauded, but the people of Helong were shocked. Under such circumstances, Li Longji's journey from Luoyang to Chang'an was naturally extremely intensified.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to hold a series of meetings, and Song Jing and Zhang of Zhishi said that they would not pull any of them. Although Du Shiyi did not attend the meeting, he stayed in the Zichen Hall for a whole day, and after returning to Zhongshu Province with his chest and back so hungry that he was so hungry that he returned to Zhongshu Province, he sighed and said that a large number of officials were arguing and arguing for a long time. The vacant Shuofang Town is based on Li Wei, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, who knows the affairs of the festival and is also the regent of Shi Dafu.

There are different opinions about whether this can resist the Tubo army, but at dusk on this day, Du Shiyi went to see Song Jing, the third secretary of Kaifuyi who had been absent for many years, and when asked about this, Song Jing said happily: "Xiao Qiaofu attacked Wang Jun's old system in Shuofang, governed the army strictly, and went to Longyou, Hexi, should be able to stabilize the overall situation, and although King Xin'an has never been out, he has also seen the rules and regulations when he is the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and there should be no major problem in Shuofang." In fact, the loss of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou this time was slight, only because Wang Jun was defeated and died, so people's hearts fluctuated, as long as Xiao Qiaofu can stabilize people's hearts, Tubo soldiers and horses should not be afraid.

Before Zhang Shuozhi returned to Beijing, I went to see him, he sighed to me, and once advised Bixia to be more gracious to Tubo, not to send troops again and again because Tubo was rude. You must know that once the gains from the use of troops could not cover the losses of the Tibetan attacks for many years. And even if you have to use soldiers, you will not dare to fight Tubo again, and if you win a small battle like Wang Jun, you will proudly ask for a pursuit, which is simply a great achievement."

Although Du Shiyi didn't like Zhang Shuo, he had to admire Zhang Shuo's courage and strategy when he was in Bingzhou and Zhang Shuobing in two ways to appease Tiele and the two departments. Moreover, it is also correct to disarm hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the frontiers and to recruit soldiers who are only used to fight wars as peasants. Hearing that Song Jing admired the combination of Xiao Song and Li Wei so much, and Zhang said that he had such an analysis of Wang Jun's defeat, he naturally nodded. At this time, Song Jing opened his mouth again.

"It's just that if it weren't for Wang Jun's spotlight on Bixia...... Seeking military merits, so as to do what he likes, and he can take the opportunity to make great meritorious deeds, this series of battles can be avoided. ”

Song Jing originally wanted to stop halfway through speaking, but thinking that Du Shiyi had always been a person who could keep secrets, he finally finished this sentence, and sighed after sitting down: "Although the treasury has become more and more abundant over the years, the cost of sealing Zen is huge, and the war in the border areas is huge, plus from last year to this year, floods occur frequently in all parts of Hedong and Hebei, and it costs a lot of money to control the water. I'm afraid that no matter how solid the treasury foundation is, it will not be enough. Thankfully, fortunately."

Du Shiyi originally regarded Song Jing as the teacher, and in the face of his praise, he inevitably humbled a few sentences. But these humble words had just begun, and they were interrupted by Song Jing raising his hand: "You don't have to say these polite words here with me, whether it is political achievements or merits, they are judged by others, and what is even more rare is that they can just save the momentary urgency Han Xiu and other people who are not easy to deal with have really praised you for two sentences before, which shows that you are indeed down-to-earth." I'm good, Zhang said it, all of them used to be Chinese scholars. You will be a Lang official for another term in a down-to-earth manner, and you will be in charge of the system at the age of thirty, just around the corner."

Song Kaifu, why do you say such a thing? I'm not one to die with all my might

With a bitter smile in her stomach, Du Shiyi couldn't refute Song Jing's ardent expectations after all, so she could only agree. At the end of the official training time, Song Jing changed the topic and asked about his marriage. Obviously, the aftermath of the marriage has already spread from Luoyang to Chang'an. Du Shiyi couldn't say that he and Wang Rong sympathized with each other in front of others, but in front of Song Jing, he focused on the fate of rescuing Wang Rong from Wang Shouyi's villains, and sure enough, Song Jing's frowning brows gradually stretched.

"If you want to, I won't say more. Marrying a wife and marrying talents, if you are not in the door, it is like a prime minister and a good son-in-law who do not know how many, but there are very few people who can become a weapon. At that time, my son-in-law also didn't know what to do, thinking that I valued you and wanted to recruit you as a grandson-in-law, but they didn't know that I was busy with state affairs and neglected them, so that none of the sons could succeed, how could they dare to marry your granddaughter whose character was uncertain? ”

This is the first time that Du Shiyi knows that the Song family even once regarded him as a candidate for his grandson-in-law, and he couldn't help but sweat profusely. However, what moved him even more was Song Jing's earnest and heartfelt words.

"Over the years, Song Kaifu's care and love, admonition and teaching, Shiyi dare not forget"

"Hehe, when you get married, I'll go and see how the bride is. can let the sage Chrysostom give marriage, and can call you the meaning, I think it should be a virtuous woman."

returned to Chang'an, this is Wang Yuanbao's lair, but also Du Shiyi's lair, after several arrangements, he was finally able to meet Wang Rong after a long absence. When he relayed Song Jing's words to Wang Rong as they were, he saw that this girl was also moved and her face was slightly red. Wang Rong didn't know that Du Shiyi could face the princess of the Son of Heaven and say such a thoughtless refusal, but if Song Jing promised to marry his granddaughter before Du Shiyi left Chang'an and watched the wind in the north, Du Shiyi might not be able to refuse. It was this old man's upright character that fulfilled them.

"Although Du Lang lost his parents at a young age, he first had Lu Gong as his teacher, and then Song Kaifu to give some teachings, in fact, he was really lucky."

"You're absolutely right. Compared to some people who have fathers, but still have to beware of their father's calculations, and even rare to be a sincere teacher, I am really lucky. ”

Du Shiyi's words sounded like he had a casual feeling, and only he knew who he was talking about. Because he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Zhongshu Province is the same as Menxia Province is forbidden, he goes in and out every day, and he has seen the crown prince Li Hong twice. The prince who was so impulsive as to leave his homework for the sake of his seriously ill biological mother back then can no longer see that kind of curiosity and childishness on his face, but instead is deep and introverted. Obviously, after losing his mother, he was not pleased with his father, and there was no humerus to rely on, so the young prince had to mature on his own.

Li Wei went to Shuofang to guard instead of Xiao Song, and Xiao Song wanted to rush to Helong, so naturally he would not go alone and pick and choose, and one of the people he named and accompanied was Pei Ning's brother Pei Kuan. On this day, Du Shiyi happened to go to visit Pei Ning because of the matter, and it happened that the news was sent to Pei's house, Pei Kuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I had some love with Xiao Dashuai in my early years, probably because he thought I was reliable, so he chose me as the judge." San Lang is in the southeast to judge the tea introduction, I am going out again, and there are a few younger brothers at home, so I ask Du Jiulang to help take care of you. ”

Du Shiyi has dealt with Pei Kuan a few times, and knows that although he is not afraid of power, he is not a completely inflexible person, and since Xiao Song reuses Pei Kuan because of his understanding, this trip is not blindly for war, and more importantly, to stabilize Helong, he didn't say anything, and readily agreed to Pei Kuan's trust.

As he hurriedly returned to Chang'an from Shuofang, and went to Longyou with carefully selected subordinate officials and servants, Chang'an City finally calmed down. It's just that as soon as such an emergency is stirred up, there will naturally be a lot fewer people paying attention to Du Shiyi's upcoming wedding. In the evening of this day, when Du Shiyi was working overtime in Zhongshu Province again to rush to work for non-professional work, a Ling Shi suddenly walked in quickly and put a document on his desk.

"Du Buque, Princess Gu'an has written to invite her to the Hajj, and Bixia has allowed it. I heard that the princess was fighting in Helong, and the light car Jane rode a horse all the way, and she had already passed Luoyang, and she would arrive in Chang'an in a few days."

Hearing this news, Du Shiyi's heart was shocked, he took the paperwork and hummed, and as soon as the people left, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the desk with great joy.

Is my sister here for Hajj, or is she here to attend his wedding?

When he walked out of Daming Palace with a heart full of joy, Chibi, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, stepped forward quickly, and said another good news with a smile: "Lang Jun, the little lady of the Yang family has arrived."

Knowing that the delicate and cute Yu Nu had also arrived in Chang'an, Du Shiyi couldn't help but pat her forehead and smiled: "It's really all together, let's go home quickly, and take a good pick up for the Yu Nu."
