Chapter 820: Returning with a full load
From the cold and windy outdoors to the warm spring-like interior, Du Shiyi only felt that her whole body was warm. Today, he braved the cold to see Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun's new army drills, and in less than three months, the entire new army had faded away from the previous casualness and youthfulness, and there was actually a little bit of a heroic appearance exposed, and he was naturally surprised and happy. At this time, when he untied the black coat wrapped around and threw it to Wu Tianqi, he said to the people who followed today: "Zhongji and Ji Yun are one and the same, they really complement each other, and today's scene is really exciting!" ”
"Isn't this a compliment to yourself for knowing people and being good at your duties?"
was teased by Wang Changling, and Du Shiyi suddenly laughed. Xue Huaijie and Lu Bingsong are not like Wang Changling and Gao Shi, who are both celebrities for a while, so they don't dare to joke and laugh like this, but the two of them are also intimidated by the neat atmosphere of the 5,000 new army of today's Lintao Army, so they naturally echo it, praising Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun for their relaxed atmosphere in the study for a while. Since sending away Niu Xiantong's plague god, the entire Helong civil, military and civilian people seem to be relieved, plus there is only a little more than a month left before the New Year, most people want to welcome the New Year in that peaceful atmosphere.
Everyone was talking and laughing, talking about the stability and peace of Helong in recent years, when suddenly there was a banging knock on the door outside, and the next moment, it was Duan Xingchen who rushed in directly. Duan Xingchen didn't seem to see everyone's surprised expressions, and waved the official letter in his hand excitedly: "Luoyang sent a message from there, saying that His Majesty is wise and has killed Niu Xiantong!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers in Zhenqiang Zhai. Gao Shi immediately shouted: "Go quickly, and send a good news to General Wang and General Nan, let them spread the praises everywhere, and reassure the hearts of the army and the people!" ”
Wu Tianqi ran out of the house without saying a word, and Wang Changling said with a smile: "This kid is really getting more and more clever!" Judge Duan, since you have come to report the good news in person, hurry up and read to us what the above said! ”
Although Xian Yu Zhongtong became an official in the court after presiding over the Longyou Jinju Academy for more than a year, he still took the initiative to act as a node in the affairs of Longyou and the DPRK, in his letter to Du Shiyi, that is, to drink water and think of the source, not forgetting the source. Even if Du Shiyi already had Princess Gu'an in Luoyang, he was still extremely satisfied with Zhongtong's attitude, and naturally he would not refuse. Duan Xingchen only read the first few sentences, and when he learned that Du Shiyi came back, he hurriedly came to report the good news, but he didn't know how it was yet. Therefore, when Wang Changling said this, he smiled happily: "In this case, I will read Zhongtong's letter to the marshal and everyone." ”
Xian Yu Zhongtong's letter not only vividly described Yang Sixiao's reaction to the Chinese military after he sent people back to the Eastern Capital, but also spoke in detail about Niu Xiantong's execution by Yang Sixiao. What the first staff is hundreds, what is the number of days, but to probe his heart, cut off his hands and feet, cut the flesh and eat it, and the people who were originally excited to hear it could not help but shudder. Even Gao Shi, who has always been extremely bold, couldn't help but mumble softly when Duan Xingchen stopped with a shocked expression on his face: "No wonder Yang Sixuan's murderous reputation has been rumored before, and it really deserves his reputation." Although the cow fairy child is hateful, but the head is not cut off to the ground, and the rod killing is an extrajudicial capital punishment, and now it is coupled with such a means......"
Everybody stopped talking. is as knowledgeable as Wang Changling, and even secretly counts how many people the Son of Heaven ordered the rod to kill over the years, and how many people have been executed by the palace court and then sent to distant places.
"Okay, okay, now that the culprit is dead, you don't have to think about it so much." Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Du Shiyi had no choice but to raise his hand to signal everyone not to think about it. Yesterday, Princess Gu'an's urgent letter had arrived, and he had already known about the matter, in addition to the case of Wu Wenyan being killed by a rod because of his relationship with the powerful. So, he diverted the topic in a few words, put Xian Yu Zhongtong's letter aside for the time being, and discussed with everyone about the reclamation of farmland next year, and the construction of a diversion ditch from Huangshui for irrigation. It wasn't until everyone was ordered to leave that he reopened Xian Yu Zhongtong's letter.
The front relayed the details of Niu Xiantong's execution, and the back also talked about the shocking Wu Wenyan case. It's just that, compared to Princess Gu'an, who was the mastermind behind the planning and exposure of this case, and knows the reason better, Xian Yu Zhongtong's letter represents the position of Longyou's permanent representative to the DPRK and China, mainly describing the reaction of all parties to it, especially the attitude of the three prime ministers.
Zhang Jiuling, who was jealous and hateful, clapped his hands and applauded, but at the same time, he and Pei Yaoqing, who was old and serious, had a lot of complaints about the cane killing, as for Li Linfu, he praised the saint and wisdom as always, and said nothing else, as if he didn't know that Concubine Wu Hui had been seriously frustrated this time.
Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing have nothing to do with Wu Wenyan's case, so it is normal to react like this, what makes Du Shiyi sigh is that Li Linfu has nothing to do with Wu Wenyan at all, and the position of prime minister is as stable as Mount Tai. He also knows that Li Linfu has been in charge of you for many years, and I am immovable, I am really a tumbler-level boss, but in the face of this kind of big case, this hardcore Shouwang Party is still strong, and it really has to be admired.
Because Xian Yu Zhongtong said in the letter that Li Chenghong, the eldest son of King Li Shoulishu, King of Guangwu, was demoted to Fangzhou a few days ago because he had been connected with Wu Wenyan. This is just the beginning, because the Son of Heaven is ordering someone to raid Wu Wenyan's mansion, and maybe more people will be brought out.
Xian Yu Zhongtong and Princess Gu'an's letters have different angles, but they allow Du Shiyi to get a full glimpse of the various complicated relationships behind the incident, and her mood is much more relaxed than before. What surprised him even more was that just the next day, Zhang Xing, Feng Changqing, Li Jingzhong and others entered the territory of Shanzhou.
After receiving the news from Zhenwujun, Du Shiyi rushed over with Yuwen Xun without saying a word, and happened to be waiting for someone in Shancheng. Li Jingzhong didn't expect Du Shiyi to come in person, and he was a little flattered for a while. After Du Shiyi personally took the wind and washed the dust for him in the Shancheng County Party, he thoughtfully invited someone to rest earlier, and called Zhang Xing and Feng Changqingyu to review Cui Jianxuan's study.
"You have been to Tibet for nearly half a year, the news is inconvenient, and there was almost a war before, I am really sweating for you."
Du Shiyi's head, Feng Changqing was afraid: "I heard that Helong parade army increased troops, Tubo Zampu detained us, and it was a loss that Brother Qijun has been calm, and he went to visit the princess of Jincheng two times in three days, and chatted with the scribes of Tubo who were proficient in Sinology summoned by the princess." Later, because Princess Jincheng said Xiang, Tubo Zampu finally let us go, but after Doma and Nalu Station, we arrived near Moli Station, but suddenly heard that there was a Tang army near Yanquan Bridge, so we were detained again for more than ten days. Finally, I heard that Niu Xiantong killed the innocent with the intention of framing Tubo, and it had been understood by the marshal, so we were released, but we were escorted to Chiling by the Tubo soldiers and horses, and they turned back, and then the Zhenwu army envoy Li Xin and General Li sent someone to escort us back. ”
Let Zhang Xing go to Tubo, and then Helong will echo the momentum, temporarily curbing Tubo's ambition for Xiao Bolu is only one thing, and the other is that Du Shiyi plans to open up the line of Princess Jincheng. Unlike the revered Princess Wencheng, Princess Jincheng was too young when she married, and then she was not in harmony with the Tubo Zanpu, she had no children, and she could not return to the country, so it is said that she has been depressed. The women of Tubo have never been able to participate in major events, and Princess Jincheng, as a Tang person, is almost isolated in Tubo. Therefore, through those Hu merchants who often come and go, he and Princess Jincheng pass on some news, and then help each other and benefit each other, which is his purpose.
Therefore, Du Shiyi hated Niu Xiantong who almost provoked a war between the two countries!
"It's good to be back at last. Qijun, tell me everything you have seen and heard in Tuboluo. ”
Cui Jianxuan and Yu Wenxun didn't quite understand why Du Shiyi recommended Zhang Xing as an envoy to go to Tibet, and when they heard Zhang Xing clear his throat and began to talk about his long trip, the two of them were unconsciously attracted. Whether it is the exotic scenery, customs and customs of Tibet, or the majesty and magnificence of the Potala Palace, the relationship between Zampu and Princess Jincheng and his wife, or the behavior of those nobles and ministers in Tibet, they all feel fresh and ignorant. And Feng Changqing is undoubtedly a very good supplement, Zhang Xing will make up for any missing parts, he will make up for it immediately, and the two of them have a match, and they have been talking for a whole hour.
"In the past, the only thing that Princess Jincheng could call was the eunuchs and maidservants and servants she brought from the Tang Dynasty, and she had no relatives in Tubo, and even when she wanted to return to China last time, she also sent people to contact those small countries in the Western Regions. Now that she has been recommended by me, she has learned about those Hu merchants who are closely related to Longyou, and she will finally not be isolated in the future, and she has also promised to continue to vigorously promote Sinology and Chinese characters. Speaking of this, Zhang Xing couldn't help but feel a little excited, "And the Han officials who have been captured due to wars and various reasons over the years, Princess Jincheng has also planned to screen out the available people from them. ”
Over the years, the Tibetans fought in Helong, Anxi and the Tang Dynasty, not only with countless casualties, but also gradually gathered a corresponding number of prisoners in both countries. The Tang Dynasty was rich all over the world, and most of the captives who surrendered were casually placed in the capital as long as they were not at the level of a fierce general, and Tubo would also give the captives a good name and place them in Luo, in case they needed to inquire about the situation in the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when they heard that Feng Changqing began to list the captured civil and military forces, Yu Wenxun and Cui Jianxuan showed a sudden realization.
It seems that it is a simple mission, but I didn't expect it to be a bridge connecting the two places!
"Very well, with this progress, you have won this trip! Qijun, after all, as an envoy, you must be cautious and cautious when you and Li Jingzhong return to the Eastern Capital to restore their lives. Wenshen will go back with you, and you will bring your lady with you to meet your mother-in-law. I will play you as the judge of Longyou Jiedu when I go back, but everything in the court depends on your own response! As for Changqing, you are an envoy in white, in the name of an envoy in Anxi, and you have a meritorious service to see Zampu, even if I recommend it to you, then whether the court recognizes it or not depends on your own. ”
