Chapter 1166: Coming to the front line
Whether it is An Sishun or Ge Shuhan, if Li Longji is in power alone, even if he spares them a life, he will definitely send them to a place where the mountains and rivers are poor, and they will be petty officials such as county lieutenants and fend for themselves. However, the current Tang Dynasty is no longer the time for him, the son of heaven, Chrysostom to make a decision.
Therefore, when Du Shiyi personally wrote a letter and sincerely pleaded for Ge Shuhan, saying that although Ge Shuhan had the crime of losing discipline and framing An Sishun, it was now a critical juncture for the rebels to use soldiers, and if he was sent to the Western Regions to serve the army in white clothes, Li Longji could only pinch his nose and admit it. However, he pretended to be confused about Du Shiyi's mention in the previous book about the reactivation of Wang Zhonghei. But at this time, it was too late to send an envoy to Yichang County, Lizhou, and he could only hope that there would be no traces there.
Li Longji thought that if the An Lushan rebels in the east had not been resolved, and the soldiers and horses of Longyou in the west would also have a rebellion, the consequences would be unimaginable. At the same time, Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan asked for the general's performance, and Li Longji had to play them one by one.
On the one hand, the Du family, who really showed all his strength, and on the other hand, the four armies of the North Gate who forced his favorite concubine to death and killed the prime minister, Li Longji found that he had no one to trust! The Fourth Army of the North Gate has not returned to Chang'an until now, and I heard that those deserters had plagued the township before, Du Shiyi had ordered the servant Gu Huaien to personally lead the troops, while searching for the deserters, while appeasing the township. At the same time, Du Youlin is recruiting flying dragon riders, and it is said that the officials and people of Chang'an are like a cloud, and almost all of them are warriors who have previously defended the city. He knew that he had no way to object, so after thinking about it, he could only find a way to give Gao Lishi the title of Flying Dragon Stable and General Zuo Yulin.
Even if it was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he hoped that Gao Lishi, who had a good relationship with the Du family, would manage to control such a nascent forbidden army, and at the same time strengthen the control of the four armies at the North Gate in the future.
After Guo Ziyi, who drove the rebels out of the pass all the way, rushed back from Tongguan, he supported the sick body to appear in the main building of the diligent government building, and awarded Du Shiyi as the right phase and Pei Kuan as the left phase. However, he did not immediately express his position on the establishment of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in the court, and his return to the palace was even more glorious.
In the clan, the prestige has withered away, if he sets up a generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, is it equivalent to the throne can also be handed over? With the sharp fangs that Du Shiyi is showing now, how can the elite counterinsurgency soldiers and horses under his control really bow down to orders? And Jiang Du and Dou Yi, the two genuine royal relatives, not only controlled the palace gate, but Jiang Du even cleaned the two palaces, he didn't know who could use it and who couldn't!
When Du Shiyi, Pei Kuan and Guo Ziyi left the palace side by side after this court meeting, they all had mixed feelings. Pei Kuan is already a lot older, although he has been ridiculed by many people because of his belief in Zen Buddhism, but he has always been expected, Li Linfu has always been very jealous of him, so he has not stabbed him in the back, fortunately, he has been assisted by all parties, and his younger brother Pei Ning helped, and finally turned evil all the way, and now he finally survived Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and ascended to the phase in one fell swoop.
"Junli, although the matter of the expedition has not yet been decided, I am here in the myriad affairs of Chang'an, so you can rest assured that you will go to quell the rebellion with Ziyi at that time."
"Thank you, Brother Pei." Du Shiyi smiled and bowed his hand to Pei Kuan, seeing that the people had already hurried to the political affairs hall, he had no intention of dealing with those cumbersome government affairs, and said to Guo Ziyi, "Ziyi, let's go to the Chunming Gate Tower to have a look?" I think that at the beginning, this was the fiercest place in the fierce battle of Chang'an's guards. ”
"Okay."
Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi climbed the Chunming Gate Tower in Chang'an East City, and what they said, except for the two people involved, the rest of the people do not know. Others only know that Guo Ziyi just went home to reunite with his wife and children for one night, and then immediately returned to Tongguan. And Du Shiyi did not wait for those royal clans to return to Chang'an, but wrote to the generals to go to Heluo the next day. Li Longji also wanted to use his busy government affairs to keep Du Shiyi, and only sent his servant Gu Huaien to quell the rebellion, but Pei Kuan entered the palace to express his feelings in every way, almost making the son of heaven so angry that he vomited blood.
If Du Shiyi's generals make their own contributions, as long as they are added to the knighthood one by one, they will be out of Du Shiyi's control after they form a system, but now Du Shiyi wants to go to Heluo to supervise the battle in person! Even if he gritted his teeth until now and didn't give Du Shiyi an official name, but with only the identity of the right minister, coupled with his prestige among the armies of Shuofang and Anbei, Du Shiyi has the capital to command the three armies!
On the eve of leaving, Du Shiyi was not in the Du house in Xuanyang Fang, but in the Cui house in Pingkang Fang. Although Chang'an has been under siege for several days, he has been running around for several days, and even Du Youlin only mentioned his life once in the Forbidden Garden that day, and the rest of the family members have no time to meet and talk. Therefore, after hugging Song Jinxi, his second grandson, and hugging his granddaughter, he only felt that his heart was a little softer unconsciously, and even his voice was softer. But for Du Sanniang, who was once the most familiar with her brother, Du Shiyi's every sentence seemed to have a bit of sonorous sound.
"Ziyi Huaien are all generals, and Qijun is also a talent who can pinch soldiers and horses, plus all the soldiers and horses along the way, even if I don't go, there should be no mistakes in this counterinsurgency. But if I don't come forward, even if Your Majesty has always been jealous of the princes and grandchildren, I will definitely raise the tallest son among the shorties in the clan and send someone to the front to act as the generalissimo. As long as such a person has the slightest selfishness, or acts hesitantly, it will add countless constraints to the soldiers, so I must go to the front line in person. In the future, if such a person is sent down, only I can suppress him, I dare to suppress him! ”
Du Shiyi said it so explicitly, who could not understand everyone present? Cui Chengxun, the heir of Zhao Guogong, who was auditing, was shocked, and his face was a little pale, but he thought about his uncle Cui Taizhi, and his father Cui Gezhi also raised his head to punish Erzhang back then, except for Wei, he couldn't help but smile bitterly that he was born in the Chengping period, and he didn't have the courage of his father. But seeing his nephew Cui Peng standing in front of Du Shiyi, he was already the head of the official residence at a young age, and he gave birth to the pride of the successors of the Cui family.
The official residence of the 10,000-year-old order is on the top five products, which is truly the first order in the world!
After telling his family one by one, Du Shiyi saw Cui Jianxuan's eldest brother Cui Chengxun standing aside without saying a word, so he walked slowly in front of him and solemnly arched his hand. Cui Chengxun immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly returned the courtesy. But as soon as he said Xiangguo, Du Shiyi shook his head.
"Cui Du is not only in-law, but also has been friends for more than 30 years, Brother Cui doesn't need to be polite to me. Next, there were many events in the DPRK and China, and Pei Xiangguo could not support it alone. I'm too late this time, and I hope you will visit Wang Mahajie for me and ask him to come out and do something for the people. Then tell Xia Qing for me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, King Guangping and King Jianning died in vain, and ask him to think carefully about whether such a rootless tree is worth relying on. ”
Cui Chengxun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Du Shiyi was going to be a lobbyist himself, and that his rhetoric about the two brothers of the Wang family was completely different. Especially for his brother-in-law Wang Jin, Du Shiyi's words seemed to imply that Wang Jin had a relationship with the crown prince Li Heng, and he only felt a chill rushing to his brain. When Du Shisanniang took the Cui family and the younger generations of the Du family to send Du Shiyi out, he wanted to ask something several times, but he didn't know how to say it. Just thinking about the Yimen with such a cranky stomach, he suddenly found that Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang, sisters who had been widowed for many years, were standing against the door, and suddenly remembered the meaning of his mother's marriage back then.
It's a pity, whether it is Wu Niang or Jiu Niang, if you can marry Du Shiyi, how can you be widowed and lonely now, and the other will often lose her temper and return to her parents' house after a few years of marriage?
"Du Xiangguo is leaving? It's so busy that we don't even have time to see each other. Cui Jiuniang happened to go back to her parents' house today, and only then did she learn from her sister that Du Shiyi was coming, and she was going to Du Shisanniang's bedroom to find someone, but she was pulled back by Cui Wuniang, but she still didn't give up, and simply blocked people here. At this moment, she saw Du Shiyi smile slightly, and walked straight towards her without dodging, and she also raised her chin, as proud as she was back then.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and the nine ladies are still the same." Du Shiyi remembered the scene when Cui Jiuniang pretended to be Cui Jianxuan and played herself, and she only felt that it was still yesterday, but more than 30 years have passed, and the girl who was full of thorns has been a wife and mother for many years. He didn't give her a chance to continue to show his teeth and claws, and said seriously, "I'm really too busy to visit, and I just had a few words to ask Brother Ling to tell Xia Qing, when you see him later, convey a greeting for me, and I'll leave." ”
Cui Jiuniang still wanted to speak, but when she saw Du Shiyi passing over to Cui Wuniang, she could only close her mouth in annoyance and scold angrily. I was originally going back to my mother's house to relax, who wants to go back and bring you a message to Wang Jin!
"Five ladies." Standing in front of Cui Wuniang, Du Shiyi was silent for a while before she spoke, "Youlin and Huiniang Ah Peng are not experienced enough after all, and Thirteen Niang can't be all-encompassing, please take care of them more on my behalf in the future!" In my absence, I'm afraid there will be a commotion and chaos in Chang'an City, so please take care. ”
"No matter how dangerous Chang'an City is, it can't compare to the sword without eyes on the battlefield, so you must take care."
Cui Wuniang thought of the peace charm in her sleeve, but in the end she didn't take it out, so she just looked at Du Shiyi and then turned around and strode away. At that moment, she remembered that she had just seen his pale temples, and sighed silently in her heart.
Now who in Chang'an City doesn't talk about Du Shiyi's earth-shattering reversal, but who would have thought that he has worked silently outside the Chang'an court for so many years? It is said that the years make people old, but it is clearly those heavy responsibilities and pressures that make his sideburns like frost!
