Although Chang'an is good, it is not a hometown.

For Guli Peiluo, the heart-wrenching accident that he was born in Hui still seems to be vivid. He still remembered that when Mo Yan entered the tooth tent with blood covered in blood, and reported the victory in a deep voice, he said that he went to Chang'an to guard the Tang Emperor, and the eldest son was not only relieved, but also shocked and distracted. And at that time, what did he say?

Originally, this was a good opportunity for the Hui to unify the country, but no one expected that Du Shiyi would be willing to take risks alone, sit in the old Turkic tent, and even plan to build a city here, so Ge Lulu retreated, changed the east to the west; Arbus was satisfied with the title of Deputy Protector and did not want to make progress; Although Yi Li Siba has the eldest son Gu Huaien as an important general in the Protectorate of the Metropolitan of Anbei, the father and son have been separated for many years, and it is difficult to say that they have a heart; However, my return to Hui was taken advantage of by others, and my vitality was greatly damaged by internal friction. If it weren't for the words of the Tang Dynasty Emperor back then, there would not even be the only room for manoeuvre."

When Guli Peiluo left the land of Hui with his most loyal henchmen, Mo Yansi led the army to see him off in person, and kowtowed three times silently when he said goodbye at the end. At that time, their father and son all understood that this parting was the eternal secret, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again in this life

If it weren't for Du Shiyi's performance of all the civil strife in Huifu, he would have received greater courtesy in Chang'an. After all, the meaning of an old Hui lord who was forced to leave Chang'an by civil strife in the eyes of others is completely different from the old Hui master who passed on the throne to his adult son and then went to Chang'an to defend the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty Emperor was as happy as he imagined, and he cared more about the political significance of his entry into the dynasty this time, and he gradually dispelled the doubts of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers with deference and respect, and rarely expressed homesickness. From then on, all he had to do was to find a way to gain a firm foothold, at least not to let Du Shiyi take root in Mobei smoothly.

"Qi Jin, Li Xiangguo invites you to the banquet."

Seeing that one of the henchmen accompanying Chang'an came in quickly, and reported this, Guli Pei Luo said coldly: "How many times have I said it, Hui Hui's Jin is already grinding and sipping, and I am now the right Weiwei general of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Under the angry reprimand of the master, the entourage could only change his name to the general in a loud voice. Guli Pei Luozai carefully put on the crown clothes of the Tang people, and when he looked at the bronze mirror, the corners of his lips showed indescribable bitterness. After a bumpy journey, he was exhausted after arriving in Chang'an, his body was far less healthy than it looked, but when he thought of the current crisis, he had to work hard to cheer up. When another attendant reported that the famous doctor he was secretly searching for had been found, he nodded slightly and walked out of the door.

It took a lot of money to be the guest of Li Linfu, the minister of power, but if the other party is really Du Shiyi's enemy, then his goal can be achieved

In the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the prime ministers who were represented by Yao Song did not like to call friends and feast excessively. Later, Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu, and Li Shizhi often held banquets at home to gather relatives and friends. When Guli Peiluo came to the Li Mansion in Pingkangfang that night, he saw a lot of traffic in front of the door, showing that there were many guests at night. But he was not discouraged, and entered the door calmly. He, a minister, has been very popular recently, and many people took the initiative to say hello, so he responded politely one by one, and then secretly wrote down the official names of these people.

Connections are needed everywhere

The Li family's hall is huge, and his seat is also at the top, but Li Linfu just said a few words of greeting and didn't say much. Guli Peiluo is also very self-aware, and he is not too flattering, and when the feast begins, he enjoys singing and dancing while drinking on his own, and occasionally chats with those officials who come to inquire because of their curiosity about the outside of the Saiwai, and he is very calm. The Tang people's wild drinking has a fight with people of all ethnic groups outside the Saiwai, and I don't know how long it has been, Guli Pei Luo is still slightly drunk, and the full seat is already drunk, and Li Linfu on the main seat has already left the table and disappeared.

At this moment, he felt that someone suddenly approached behind him, but he whispered, "General, please come with me." ”

Guli Peiluo immediately woke up, he didn't ask a word, just as if he was going to go to the toilet after drinking too much, he staggered to his feet, retreated and walked to the back door. As soon as he went out, he saw that there were already people waiting there with lanterns, and when he saw that he was only curtsied, he silently led the way. Following them around in the huge Li house, even if he had a good memory, he was faintly a little dizzy, and secretly thought that no wonder he often heard people say that Li Linfu was the most wary of assassins, and he didn't even know in advance which bed to sleep in at night, like his wife and children.

It wasn't until he entered a courtyard that seemed to have a very small pattern that the servant who led the way stopped in front of the main house and reported softly, and then he opened the bamboo curtain and invited Guli Peiluo to enter. After being in Chang'an for so long, Guli Peiluo saw the study of the eunuch's house for the first time, and saw that there were stacks of books everywhere on the shelves on all sides, which was very different from the outsider's evaluation of Li Linfu not reading.

"Sangkook."

"Well, the general sits." Li Linfu's attitude towards Guli Pei Luo was extremely polite, and after waving his hand and asking him to sit down, he first asked a few words about the other party's life in Chang'an with a smile, and then gradually turned to the main topic about the Mobei tribes. He is far less familiar with military affairs than he is with cumbersome government affairs, and because of this, Du Shiyi has more say than him in military affairs because he has been away from town for a long time, and he has always felt helpless. Therefore, when Guli Peiluo bluntly explained that it was the time of reversal used by Du Shiyi in the civil unrest of Hui, he asked a meaningful sentence in addition to being frightened.

"The general should be full of hatred for Du Junli, right?"

"In the words of the Central Plains people, the skills are not as good as others, and there is no need to resent." Guli Peiluo said such a sentence with a sense of wine, and then said lightly, "Although Du Dashuai is powerful, the army he uses now includes both the Xiazhou Fugu Department and the Youzhou Zhaowu Hu Army, and it is not a monolith, in case it is used, it will be a big chaos."

Li Linfu's heart moved, but he remembered that the three generals and deputy generals of the Jingluo Army that he had surrounded in Shuofang at the beginning, it was precisely because he instigated Hu Hu to cause chaos and was taken down by Du Shiyi on the spot, and he unconsciously hesitated. But at this time, he only listened to Guli Pei Luo burp, and said with a smile: "If it were me, I would start with the Fugu Department, and the master of the Xiazhou Fugu Department, Yi Li, Sip the Beigui, was planned by Du Dashuai, and now Fugu Huaien is his general, if there is a difference, he, the capital of Anbei and Shuo Fangjiedu, will come to an end."

Speaking of this, Li Linfu finally knew in his heart that Guli Peiluo was using this to say that things could be done by him, and he didn't have to bother. Thinking of this, he knew that if he didn't have any promises, this former King of Fan might go to find someone else, so his eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "The general is now my Tang Dynasty general, needless to say, His Majesty praised the general's bow and horse, there are quite a lot of Fan troops in the North Gate Forbidden Army, if the general is interested, I can ask His Majesty to let the general practice the Fan army."

Guli Peiluo still didn't understand, Li Linfu had already taken the meaning of the layer he handed over, and immediately got up and saluted: "Xiangguo is grateful, I am grateful, and I will be loyal to the Khan for the rest of my life."

Although the Li family's night banquet was late, they rarely stayed guests, which was also for Li Linfu's safety. Many guests were sent out of the Li Mansion, some who had not yet been officially appointed as prostitutes went to the north of Pingkangfang from the back door, and some officials with high titles walked through the front door, and under the escort of the guards, they ignored the night ban and returned to their own mansions that could also open the door along the fang wall. However, Guli Peiluo, who temporarily lived in the Sifang Pavilion, had no intention of going back, and directly took the servant to find a vacant guest house.

But before he could fall asleep, there was a soft knock on the door outside the room, but there was no sound. Knowing that it couldn't be his entourage, Guli Pei Luo got up quickly, and after hiding a dagger in his sleeve, he calmly stepped forward and opened the door.

The moment he recognized the other party, he quietly put the dagger inside, and then asked pretending to be surprised, "How is Wei Langjun?" Find me so late

"It's the eldest brother who wants to see you." Wei Lan stepped sideways, let his brother Wei Jian behind him into the house, and then closed the door with a smile on his face, and he was personally guarding outside.

When Guli Peiluo first arrived in Chang'an, he worked hard to understand the situation, but after all, when he first arrived, he only knew that the Wei family was like the Turkic descendant Ashid clan, often marrying the royal family, and the Wei Jian family was the princess's maiden family. Because of the desperate battle between Mo Yan Si and Tu Mi Tu not long ago, he didn't want to get involved in such a complicated situation at all, so he was extremely vague about Wei Lan's contact form. But now that Wei Jian came to see him in person, he had to face it with his spirits.

"The general first came to Chang'an, but he was a guest on the right side, and he was really good at dancing." Wei Jian was not worried that Guli Pei Luo did not understand Chinese, and pierced the window paper of the other party's relationship with Li Linfu as soon as he hit the head, and then said with a smile, "These days, I have heard some rumors that the general is coming to Chang'an, on the surface, it is for His Majesty's guard, and his loyalty is commendable, but in fact, he saw that the situation in Huifu was precarious, so he went to Beijing to find a backer, and because he hated Du Dashuai, he wanted to use the power of some people in the court to pull Du Dashuai off the horse." ”

This so-called rumor is true or false, and Guli Peiluo doesn't bother to investigate it, but the threat implied in Wei Jian's sentence makes him have to deal with it mentally. This is not the Mobei that he is comfortable with, since he had to choose to enter Beijing alone, he has lost all his support and barriers, and has to face this qiē by himself.

Therefore, he tried his best to make himself appear calmer, and forced a laugh and said, "These rumors that Wei Shangshu said are too funny......

"Funny or not, the general should know it himself." Wei Jian sat down on the guest seat for a long time, and then said softly, "When the general was the lord of Hui at the beginning, did he also bet on one person as he does now? You know, after all, the general is from Huifu, and he is completely unfamiliar with my Tang system, so if you accidentally commit some taboos, it will be bad. ”

In the face of this naked threat, Guli Peiluo couldn't help but stare at Wei Jian, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.

He is a nominal general, how could he let Wei Jian not hesitate to contact him in person and directly threaten?

Knowing that it was impossible for Guli Peiluo not to be afraid of the consequences of what he said, Wei Jian said word by word: "The general should know that my brother-in-law is the current crown prince. What Li Linfu can promise you, I can also promise, and I can also protect you for a long time. Think about it, if you first arrived, you will go around and spy on my Datang Fiction, but in fact, the news of plotting Mobei will be spread......"

At this moment, Guli Peiluo finally asked in a bitter voice, "What does Wei Shangshu want me to do?" ”

"It's very simple, Li Xiangguo's thoughts and movements, and then if His Majesty really lets you train the North Gate Forbidden Army, you might as well promote and recommend a few people. For you, this kind of thing is just a gesture. ”

Knowing that Wei Jian would definitely clean up the tail of coming to see him tonight, even if he went to the Son of Heaven, he might not be able to please him, so he could only hope that he could vaguely pass the matter first. But what he never expected was that Wei Jian actually took out a document written in Turkic with a smile and put it in front of him. He just swept his eyes, and he felt a wave of anger rush to his head. Except for his signature and handprint, he was not familiar with the names of the other generals on it, but the meaning of the text was extremely shocking.

This is a letter of alliance that the general secretly swore and intended to set off a rebellion in Shuofang and Mobei

At this moment, Guli Peiluo finally made up his mind to give it a go. He laughed, and the dagger that had been hidden in his sleeve gradually moved down. But just as he was about to make a move, Wei Jian seemed to notice it and put the things back away.

"This thing is not a fake from me, but I got it from some source, so it can be seen that although you seem to be extremely favored by Your Majesty, General, you are actually in danger." Wei Jian seemed to be afraid that Guli Pei Luo would not understand, so he calmly explained the meaning of the four words "dangerous", and then continued, "This is something that Li Linfu secretly made up for others. After you arrived in Chang'an, although you have visited many places, if you say that you are drunk and give people the opportunity to leave your handprints, it will only be in his house, right? If he really believed in you, how could he have made such a thing? ”

Guli Peiluo didn't bother to think about whether what Wei Jian took out was a fake by himself or a genuine one ordered by Li Linfu. Although he has both wisdom and courage, he is more accustomed to fighting on the battlefield after all, rather than being so deceitful and fighting. After weighing it in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "I have only met Li Xiangguo several times in total, and I have never had any deep friendship. Therefore, to find out about Li Xiangguo's fiction, I can't do anything. If I really get His Majesty's permission and can train the Fan army, I will do my best to do what Wei Shangshu entrusts. ”

He helped Li Linfu deal with Du Shiyi, and Li Linfu sought a foothold in Chang'an for him; As for Wei Jian, he promised to help him install people in the army, and Wei Jian would return the favor. That's enough

Although Guli Pei Luo refused to find out Li Linfu's truth for himself, Wei Jian was already very satisfied. As long as the seeds of distrust are created between the other party and Li Linfu, and the conditions for him to be planted in the army are promised, then this time the heat is enough, and there will be a way next time. Therefore, he generously left the so-called covenant as evidence, and comforted Guli Peiluo a few words, and then quietly got up and left, as if he had never appeared in this inn tonight.

This is Li Linfu's old nest, and he has to be very careful

Wei Jian thought that his whereabouts were secretive, but he didn't expect that when Weifu left the guest house, he already had a pair of eyes staring. The man in the green coat and hat, who was like an ordinary servant, followed him into an inconspicuous courtyard, and then he appeared and looked at the room a few more times. It wasn't until he was convinced that he had memorized it completely that the man quietly turned away.

It was easy to clean up the backbone Pei Luo, and Wei Jian was complacent in the next two days. But before he had time to be happy, Wei Bing hurriedly came to tell the news, saying that Wang Rong personally came forward and set Chen Bao'er the granddaughter of the Han princess Du's family, Li Yunniang. Hearing this, Wei Jian was stunned for a while, and then glared at Wei Bing with an angry face.

"Didn't you go to propose a marriage a long time ago? How could someone suddenly get a kick in the cross? ”

"Big brother, I'm just angry because the results of Chen Jizhen's science hall exam haven't come out yet, thinking that in case he is ranked behind......

Before Wei Bing could try to explain clearly, Wei Jian interrupted angrily: "What about his ranking now?" ”

Wei Bing suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then whispered: "Although I didn't win the head, I was still in second place......

"That's fine, what do you want to do to win the second place in a system that has always had very few people, such as the Shuai Ke, which has always been very rare? Stupid and short-sighted, I'm really going to be by you" Wei Jian, as the eldest of the brothers today, has always scolded when he opened his mouth, never showing mercy, at this time, after scolding Wei Bing with his head and face, he breathed a sigh of relief again and decided not to dwell on this matter anymore.

Saion is not blessed, Hengzhu is just a poor child

"By the way, brother, instead of making friends with Du Shiyi, who is far away in Mobei, it is better to find someone else. Isn't Huangfu Weiming the envoy of the right section of the official residence Longyi now? He won the heart of His Majesty, and he also won several big battles in Longyou, and more importantly, he was a subordinate official of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then. Wei Bing saw that Wei Jian had finally let himself go, so he quickly came up with an idea. Sure enough, this time, he saw that his brother's face quickly calmed down, and he obviously did not reject his own mention.

"Although Huangfu Weiming has risen very rapidly in recent years, it is still far behind Du Shiyi. Having said that, compared with Huangfu Weiming and Du Shiyi, who were born as civil servants, Hedong Jiedu made Wang Zhong's heir a treasure, and that kind of courage is not appropriate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very excited every time he talks about it. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Jian couldn't help but take a breath lightly: "Let's not mention these far away, Guli Peiluo's appointment has just come down, and he is ordered to train the Left Wing Fan Army in the Zuo Shenwu Army, you give me a close eye on him."
