Chapter 285: Stand-in
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace,
Tang Xuanzong has been very unhappy recently, and it can basically be said that everything is not going well. The first thing is that Wu Jieyu died, and the bones were not found, which made Tang Xuanzong feel distressed to death. For a while, the beauties of the harem had no color, and no one could compare to Wu Jieyu, or what they couldn't get was the best.
For this reason, it is also sad for Li Linfu and others, in order to find a beauty who can replace Wu Jieyu, it is painstaking. And people like Zhang Jiuling, who don't know the current affairs and blindly advise, also make Tang Xuanzong very annoying.
The second thing, without Yuan Tiangang, Tang Xuanzong has always been skeptical of Yuan Tiangang's prophecy, and Yuan Tiangang's comments on Li Shan are still in his ears at that time. But unfortunately, Li Shan actually resigned, Tang Xuanzong really wanted to ask, how can a person who resigned be a big trouble? It's just that Yuan Tiangang has no way to answer this matter for him.
The third thing is that there is bad news from the countries of the Western Regions. Tubo, which had just stopped for a short time, was about to move again, and seemed to be gathering troops to plot against Liangzhou. And the Turks seem to have moved, which makes the border guards nervous all of a sudden. It's just that Tang Xuanzong really doesn't believe it, after tasting the taste of gunpowder, they still dare to offend Tianwei?
And now, there is one more trouble.
Ge Luofeng was murdered, this is the news that Dali has just heard. Ge Luo Feng died a month ago, and his eldest son was made the new king, the national teacher was the regent, and the princess was the regent and the queen mother co-presided over the government. The most important thing is that it is written in the book that Ge Luofeng was killed by someone, and the reason has not yet been ascertained.
When Tang Xuanzong read this, he was also furious, threw the piece on the ground, and said angrily: "These barbarians are really disobedient to education, and they are still causing trouble for me." ”
Gao Lishi said: "The emperor guarantees the dragon body, those barbarians are ignorant and aggressive, and the emperor doesn't need to work hard about it." ”
Tang Xuanzong shook his head and said, "Now that the six edicts are merged, the strength of the qi is not the same, and you can't sit idly by." Go and send a soul chaser to me. ”
Colliers said, "The slave will go." "Stand back.
After a while, the soul chasing envoy came to the Zichen Hall and saluted: "Minister, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Tang Xuanzong asked: "Soul chaser, I ask you, have you laid out the eyeliner over there in Dali?" ”
The soul chaser said: "Your Majesty, today's Dali is like an impregnable wall, and there is no way to deploy it. Most of the people in Dali are Nanban, and the language is not clear, so our people will be exposed when they enter. Moreover, Dali seems to attach special importance to foreign Han people. Fifteen of the more than 20 people sent by the minister were found and repatriated, and several more are still missing. ”
Tang Xuanzong slapped the table and said angrily: "Whereabouts unknown? How do you do it? A small Dali, you can't even set up a spy, but you fold people's hands. What do I want you to do? ”
The soul chaser hurriedly pleaded guiltily and said: "The emperor is angry, the situation in Dali is indeed quite special, because I didn't expect the six edicts to merge before, so I didn't put people over there." It is indeed a bit hasty to prepare now, and there is no better way for a while. However, Master Li's spy training has now entered the second stage, and I believe that when the first batch of spies comes out, we will be able to send the spies in. ”
Tang Xuanzong said: "This matter must be fast, I must know the affairs of Dali Kingdom as soon as possible." ”
"Obey."
Gao Lishi came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Li Linfu asks to see you. Do you see it or don't you see it? ”
Tang Xuanzong nodded, waved his hand at the soul chaser again, and said, "You go down first." ”
Gao Lishi shouted loudly: "Lord Xuan Li Linfu is here." ”
Li Linfu trotted all the way into the Zichen Hall with a red face, and saluted: "The minister knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Tang Xuanzong was in a bad mood, he was too lazy to deal with any political affairs, so he lay on the dragon chair and squinted his eyes and said, "Calm down, what's the matter with Li Aiqing?" ”
Li Linfu looked at Tang Xuanzong's face was displeased, and he looked like he was ignoring it, he naturally knew that the emperor had a lot of troubles recently, but he came prepared this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that since Wu Jieyu's death, the emperor has always been unable to sleep and eat. There are the most beauties in the harem, but it is difficult to meet the emperor's wishes. Seeing that the emperor has been depressed and depressed, the minister's heart seems to be very anxious. Chen has been wondering if he can find a ......"
How could the emperor have the heart to listen to him say these nonsense, so he directly interrupted him and said: "Li Aiqing, just say anything about it, don't beat around the bush." ”
Li Linfu was interrupted by the emperor, and he didn't dare to have the slightest displeasure, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is looking for a woman to come to the emperor, and ask the emperor's ministers to bring her in." ”
Tang Xuanzong was actually not too interested in women, but Li Linfu had always been able to say good things and was quite favored by the emperor, so Tang Xuanzong did not refute his face, and said, "Then bring it in." ”
Li Linfu hurriedly withdrew, the woman was still waiting outside the palace gate, and the ministers could not bring people into the palace without the emperor's order.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"The people's daughter Guo Cailian has seen the emperor."
Tang Xuanzong squinted his eyes and was about to fall asleep, and Li Linfu finally brought people in. Tang Xuanzong opened his eyes, and in a hazy sleepy eye, he saw Wu Jieyu walking towards him, Tang Xuanzong was so shocked that he stood up directly, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully before he could see clearly.
This person is not Wu Jieyu, but it is difficult for Li Linfu to find someone who is very similar to Wu Jieyu somewhere.
Tang Xuanzong beckoned to Guo Cailian and said, "You come closer and raise your head." ”
Guo Cailian got up slowly and took two steps forward, with a graceful posture and elegant manners, which was very similar to Wu Jieyu. Tang Xuanzong couldn't help but smile with a smile: "Okay, Lin Fu, you have done a very good job, which is very much in line with my wishes." Come on, bring Guo Cailian to the harem and settle down. ”
Gao Lishi naturally understood what Tang Xuanzong meant, and led Guo Cailian down.
Tang Xuanzong said: "Lin Fu, how did you find such a wonderful person?" ”
Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, it is not the woman found by the minister, but the minister found by the woman. The ministers often went to the temples outside the city to give porridge to the poor. happened to meet this woman fleeing from the south, and at first glance, when I saw this woman, I thought that Wu Jieyu was coming, which really scared the minister. However, after inquiry, this woman was originally from a scholarly family, and a few months ago, her home was suddenly caught in a fire, and all her family members were buried in the fire, and she was the only one who survived and wandered here. Your Majesty, there is a providence in the dark, isn't it Wu Jieyu in the spirit of heaven who wants to renew the relationship with the emperor? ”
Tang Xuanzong was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is this true? ”
Li Linfu hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister doesn't dare to say half a lie, please ask the emperor to see it." ”
Tang Xuanzong laughed and said: "Aiqing is really my lucky star, I want to reward you with a hundred taels of gold, give you a flower feather, in addition, Song Jing has been sick in bed for a few days, and you will be the abbot of his affairs." ”
Li Linfu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. (To be continued.) )
