Chapter 811: The First Shot of Longyou
Longyou, Du Shiyi, you can't think of it, I'm back again!
Looking at the Shanzhou Huangshui City from afar, Niu Xiantong's face showed an unusually smug smile. From a small eunuch, all the way to his current position, he doesn't know how much suffering Lu Dao has endured and how much hard work he has put in, but some things can be made up for by today's wealth and glory, and some costs can no longer be recovered, such as the knife on his body. Therefore, he will never give up the opportunity to step on others to climb up, even if his colleagues hate him, but they can't stop him from gradually gaining favor in front of the Son of Heaven.
Heng Zhu Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao, the two who really have outstanding merits and have a head and face, don't care how the people below fight endlessly, he just took advantage of the time when they looked down on people, quietly climbed to the top, and kicked those two people down!
"Look at the people who greet you at the city gate over there, it's really empty!" Qiu Wuyi, the middle-aged eunuch who came with him, was envious of the spectacular scene, and then said respectfully to Niu Xiantong, "Envoy Qin, after arriving in Huangshui, how can we check?" ”
Before leaving, Niu Xiantong listened in every possible way, and finally determined that the Son of Heaven was very concerned about Helong's recent repeated proofreadings, and there were recruits in both places, so whether there were so-called cronyism in the appointment of military personnel, whether there were false reports of military quotas, and whether there were problems with Cangqiao and Jiazhan Yingtian Branch, etc., were also among the inspections. Therefore, the power of his envoy can be described as amazing! Therefore, on this trip, he forbade his servants to call him the official name of the inner confessor, but repeatedly asked to call him an envoy, which not only satisfied his vanity of the fake Son of Heaven order, but also did not touch the inferiority complex of being a eunuch.
"This time, I am patrolling the border on behalf of His Majesty, and wherever I go, I should naturally be greeted by the officials and the people, as for how to check, I already know it in my heart!"
After answering in a nonchalant tone, Niu Xiantong grabbed the reins, and then galloped out of the horse. For the sake of the scenery of this envoy, how many people did he fight and how much work did he spend before he got through the door of Concubine Wu Hui, and finally came to Longyou again? The last time he went to Longyou, it was to give Du Shiyi, who was popular, the purple official robe and goldfish bag that only officials with three grades or above could wear, and the benefit Du Shiyi gave was simply to send Huazi, and this time he came with the order of the Son of Heaven to see if Du Shiyi dared not take him seriously!
Seeing Niu Xiantong coming on a ride, Du Shiyi smiled at Wang Changling and Gao Shi, who were stiff-faced, and said, "Don't be so straightforward. Niu Xiantong, I have dealt with him more than once, arrogant and greedy for money, but I like others to respect me the most, not to mention that he is now on behalf of His Majesty to patrol the river, you have to give him a smile. ”
Wang Changling saw Gao Shi's uncertain face, and was indignant for a while: "The eunuch patrolling the border has never been since the early Tang Dynasty, what is this!" ”
What is this? If everything follows that established trajectory, the more bizarre thing is still to come, even the ten permanent servants in the late Han Dynasty only manipulated the abolition once, but those eunuchs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty are powerful and omnipotent!
Du Shiyi thought so in her heart, but her face was calm: "Young Uncle is silent, this is the end of the complaint." ”
And Gao Shi finally couldn't help but say: "The letter from the marshal to Luoyang, Zhang Pei and Li Xiangguo was drafted by me, and now Niu Xiantong is patrolling the border, and he clearly has other intentions, and wants to come to my three letters......"
"Why should Duff be presumptuous. Your Majesty is planning to send his cronies to patrol the border for a day or two, and you can't stop it by writing a few letters to Zaisuke of the Political Affairs Hall for me. The pure self-purifying, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”
These whispered conversations could only be heard clearly by Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun, who were closest behind them. For a while, two people who are similar in age but have completely different experiences naturally have different feelings.
Wang Zhongji was because Du Shiyi thought of his own slander and belittlement, thought of his father being seen dead and could not be saved and died in battle, and then saw that now Li Longji did not send the Chinese military force to the court, but chose an inner attendant to come to Helong, no matter what the reason, the situation of suspicion and jealousy is actually clear. Nan Jiyun thought about the scriptures and histories that he had learned from Chen Bao'er in Yunzhou before, and almost all of them accused the eunuch monarch of being mediocre, and his heart was very complicated for a while.
What did His Majesty think? After clearly ascending the throne, he created this prosperous era of Kaiyuan, why has he gradually made a faint move over the years?
The last question, the two generals of the Lintao army are exactly the same, especially when they saw Niu Xiantong galloping on a horse, and when Du Shiyi led the crowd to salute and still stood on the horse, they were even more angry and confused in their hearts. As for the rest of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion and the Chinese Wu of the Lintao Army, seeing that Niu Xiantong had put up the shelf of the Qin envoy with arrogance, he was secretly angry that he accounted for the majority. As for some people who were not valued by Du Shiyi in the past and had been pressed for more than a day, in the face of Niu Xiantong's invincible posture, they couldn't help but move a little in their hearts.
Maybe this is a rare opportunity?
Du Shiyi couldn't see that Niu Xiantong was showing off his might to himself, however, for Niu Xiantong's arrival this time, whether he was in Helong or in Liangjing, he had corresponding arrangements, and if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan. When the group entered the city, he deliberately turned his horse two steps behind, and when he saw Niu Xiantong looking left and right to walk in the forefront, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. After a while, Niu Xiantong turned his head to look at him.
"I heard that since Du Dashuai ruled Longyou, Longyou has become Du's Longyou, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"This is ridiculous! Since the marshal ruled Longyou, on the one hand, he guarded Tubo, and on the other hand, he cultivated the barren tuntian, and the military food of Longyou was almost self-sufficient, and when the Qinzhou earthquake was before, it was a lot of funding! Now Longyou Cangli is abundant, the armor is complete, and the military appearance is extremely prosperous! The lieutenant generals of the army promoted by the marshal, except for the southern general, are the old people of Yunzhou, and all of them are from Longyou, so the upper and lower army generals are obedient! The four words of Du Shi Longyou are intended to add to the crime, and there is no excuse for any trouble, or do you plan to chill the military and people of Longyou! ”
Du Shiyi originally planned to lightly hit back at Niu Xiantong's explicit accusation, but she didn't watch out for someone around her who suddenly took over the conversation, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, the more excited she became, and the last time she directly deducted a big hat from Niu Xiantong! Seeing that Wang Changling's face was flushed, and his forehead was full of muscles, he was obviously extremely angry, he secretly praised it in his heart, but he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Young uncle, Longyou can be in such a situation today, it is the concerted efforts of the civil and military, and the upper and lower forces, how can it become my own work as you said?" ”
Under Du Shiyi's stern eyes, Wang Changling stopped the resentment that he was going to pour out in one go. His words aroused the resonance of Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun, however, Wang Zhongsi had experienced something similar after all, and quietly grabbed Nan Jiyun's wrist and whispered to stop the deputy general who was also going to speak for Du Shiyi. As for those who are biased towards generals and colonels in the back, although there were many people who were hostile and distrustful of Du Shiyi at the beginning of his tenure, it can be seen that he was promoted to the law, governed the government in a proper way, and the majority of those who agreed. So when Niu Xiantong looked over with anger on his face, many people showed unconvinced expressions.
In the face of this scene, Niu Xiantong was furious, and he planned to use the authority of his envoy to kill chickens and monkeys on the spot, but he only heard Qiu Wuyi's voice in his ears: "The envoy is a little restless, if he is angry when he first arrives in Huangshui, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain when His Majesty asks in the future." You must know that Du Junli is not a person who has no foundation in the court, although he often serves as a foreign official, he is also full of relatives and friends in Liangjing! ”
Being reminded by this, Niu Xiantong finally calmed down. He smiled and stared at Wang Changling for a long time, and then said coldly: "Du Dashuai really knows people well, and every secretary in charge is unexpected!" ”
He didn't continue to dwell on this topic until now, and when he arrived at the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, he looked at the wide courtyard that Du Shiyi had ordered people to vacate, he glanced around and said contemptuously: "Since I am patrolling the border on behalf of His Majesty, what can I see and hear in this Shanzhou Governor's Mansion?" Don't bother Du Dashuai, if you want to come to Huangshui City, I can live in my own post house! ”
Regarding Niu Xiantong's request, Du Shiyi didn't need to look at it to know what the situation was like behind Lu Dao. However, he didn't intend to let such a poisonous snake that was likely to choose people to eat inhabit his side, and he hadn't even arranged it in the main room. When he took everyone to place his party in the post house in Huangshui City, and instructed the post man and the post guard to entertain him, he looked around as soon as he got out of the post house and said: "Now that the heat has not subsided, I have kept you busy since the morning until now, and I am tired of thinking about it, let's disperse, if the Qin envoy has an order tomorrow, I will order someone to pass the order." ”
Stacking the spirit to meet such a eunuch in the palace, most of the people in the Shanzhou army are full of displeasure, it is easy to disperse at this time, some people are certainly fast, and some people come forward to praise Wang Changling for speaking happily, and more cautious people remind and dissuade colleagues, after all, they are envoys in the palace, don't be guilty. Seeing that everyone had retreated and scattered, Du Shiyi saw that Wang Zhongsi and Nan Jiyun had not left, so he had to put on a straight face and said: "You two too, the new army in the Lintao army has increased to three thousand, and some of them are places where you two have to work hard, what are you still doing here?" ”
"But ...... handsome"
Without waiting for Nan Jiyun to say anything taboo, Du Shiyi looked at Wang Zhongsi and said, "Zhonghei, take care of your lieutenant!" ”
A Wang Changling can still think of a way, if Nan Jiyun, who was transferred from Yunzhou so easily, is also remembered, he can't even cry!
Seeing that Wang Zhonghei was so good at saying that he had dragged Nan Jiyun away, Du Shiyi looked at the subordinate officials of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion and the officials of the shogunate and said, "Go back first!" ”
After returning to the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, he pacified the other subordinate officials in a few words, and explained the affairs handled by Xue Huaijie and Lu Bingsong, and Du Shiyi took Wang Changling and Gao Shi back to Zhenqiangzhai. As soon as he sat down at the door, he looked at Wang Changling with love and hate: "Young uncle, young uncle, how many times have I told you in the past few days?" Do you want to turn your nickname into a cannon for the king of Longyou? ”
