"There is also news today, yesterday afternoon, Li Yuan officially promulgated the military merit land system, making it clear that military merit will be rewarded with land, the specific details are not yet known, but Lu Ping's evaluation is completely plagiarized from us, that is to say, Li Yuan's implementation of the military merit land system is exactly the same as ours.

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly, and hit the nail on the head: "They should have implemented it a long time ago, but it was delayed until today, it's too late, I don't believe they can still recapture Bashu?" Retake and merge the state? Retake Hexi? Without these three places, they are like a chicken with severed wings and feet, capable of fluttering a few times at most, and then left to our slaughter. ”

"Your Majesty, the Tang army wants to fight back, Li Shimin has already led an army of 50,000 into Shangjun, and it is likely that he is going to launch a campaign against Yan'an County."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I won't give him this opportunity, Changshi might as well visit Feng Deyi and tell him that I am willing to sign a one-year armistice agreement with the Tang Dynasty, as a matter of sincerity, I can put back the horse Chai Shao, and if Li Yuan is willing to talk, please stop all military operations immediately." ”

"Why did Your Majesty give the Tang Dynasty a year of respite?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, "This is a double-edged sword, they have a year to train their troops, and we also have a year to hollow out the Tang Dynasty, they may have made some progress militarily, but I want to completely defeat the Tang Dynasty politically, so that everyone in the world understands that the Tang Dynasty is a dead tree." ”

"Your Majesty sees it, Weichen will go to Feng Deyi, but before going to Feng Deyi, there is one more thing Weichen has to report to Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xuanling took out a report and presented it to Zhang Xuan, "This is a report sent by Luo Yumin, about some of Li Yuanji's recent activities, Weichen feels that there is a hidden opportunity here, so please ask Your Majesty to read the report first, and then Weichen will discuss this matter with Your Majesty in detail another day." ”

Zhang Xuan took the report, nodded and said, "The military advisor will go to Feng Deyi first!" I'll talk about this report with the military advisor after I've read it. ”

"Wechen farewell!"

Fang Xuanling saluted and hurried away, Zhang Xuan flipped through this Luo Yumin report, in fact, he has been paying attention to Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji is a huge tumor in the Tang Dynasty, he is actually the embodiment of Li Yuan's evil side, once this tumor has ambitions, he will devour everything, including the last ray of hope for the Li dynasty, Zhang Xuan hopes to make full use of this tumor.

.........

Since Wei Yunqi sent an envoy to Chang'an last year to reach a mutual envoy between the two sides, the Tang Dynasty appointed Feng Deyi, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to be stationed in Zhongdu, and the Zhou Dynasty also appointed Wen Yanbo, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to be stationed in Chang'an, but the two envoys eventually became decorations and did not play any role, despite this, both sides did not withdraw the envoys and continued to maintain this apparent way of communication.

Feng Deyi lived in the Gui Hotel in Zhongdu, the treatment was not bad, there was a spacious courtyard and excellent food, and there was a special person to serve, and he himself brought two concubines with him, and the life of the year was quite nourishing.

However, Feng Deyi also has a big heart problem, that is, his future, seeing that the Tang Dynasty is weakening day by day, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is getting stronger day by day, especially the vitality and prosperity of Zhongdu and the withering and cold of Chang'an are in stark contrast, Feng Deyi of course understands that his future should be in Zhongdu, not in Chang'an.

But for more than a year, Feng Deyi drilled a bit to find an opportunity, but he never found the opportunity to enter the Great Zhou, he even went to participate in the imperial examination under a pseudonym, but the scriptures he was familiar with when he was young have long been forgotten, and the imperial examination is naturally famous in Sun Shan.

Feng Deyi was originally Yang Guang's Zhongshushe, is Yu Shiji's confidant, although talented, but the character is not good, he played a very disgraceful role in the Jiangdu Incident, but Feng Deyi and Li Yuan have a good relationship, after joining the Tang Dynasty, he quickly got Li Yuan's respect, and appointed him as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

However, Feng Deyi didn't know that although he wanted to switch to the Zhou Dynasty, it would be difficult for him to get another chance this time, Zhang Xuan had made it clear that in view of his disgraceful performance in Jiangdu, he would not accept him as a Zhou minister again.

In the afternoon, Feng Deyi was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and at this time, the director of the hall came to report: "Feng Shilang, the head of the house is here!" ”

Feng Deyi was suddenly surprised and delighted, hurriedly got up and went out, walked to the door, and happened to meet Fang Xuanling, Feng Deyi hurriedly smiled and said: "Which fragrant wind blew the head of the house?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, "I have something important to convey to Feng Shilang, I hope I didn't disturb Shilang." ”

Feng Deyi said solemnly: "Since it is a business matter, the head of the house, please come in!" ”

The two walked into the lobby, the guests and hosts sat down, a maid served them tea, Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Does Feng Shilang have a way to contact Chang'an?" ”

"Yes! I can contact Chang'an with Pigeon Letter. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "My son of heaven wants to have a one-year truce with the Gui Dynasty, if the Gui Dynasty agrees, as a sincerity, we can return the firewood and horses to Chang'an." ”

Feng Deyi hurriedly said: "Then I'll write a pigeon letter now!" ”

Fang Xuanling waved his hand, "There is something I want to say in front, if His Royal Highness King Qin wants to attack Yan'an County, then there is no room for negotiation." ”

"I understand, will we come to Zhongdu for specific discussions, or will you go to Chang'an?"

"If the Emperor agrees to negotiate, we will send an embassy to Chang'an."

The two said a few more words, Fang Xuanling got up and said goodbye, Feng Deyi sent him out, seeing that Fang Xuanling got into the carriage and was about to leave, Feng Deyi finally couldn't help but swallow and said: "Fang Changshi, I don't know if I should mention something?" ”

"What does Feng Shilang want to say?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

"That's the case, I'm very willing to be loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, can the head of the house say something to the Son of Heaven for me."

"I see, it's a good thing that Feng Shilang has this heart, but my son of heaven appreciates people who work hard for their own court, and those who are loyal to their court will also be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Feng Deyi touched a soft nail, his face was quite embarrassed, and he had to give up his hand and smile bitterly: "Thank you for the words of the head of the house, Shi Liang, Feng has a good idea." ”

"Feng Shilang still takes official affairs as the priority, send a letter to Chang'an as soon as possible, if there is a reply, please send someone to tell me immediately, and leave first."

The carriage started slowly, leaving your hotel, Feng Deyi looked at the carriage and walked away, sighed, and went back to work listlessly.

........

These days, the deserted and depressed scene of Chang'an City has improved slightly, and the people on the street have begun to increase, and many old customers have come back one after another in various wine shops, the reason is that a large number of Xuanwu Jingwei have been sent to various parts of Guanlong to clean the Guanlong aristocratic manor, and without Xuanwu Jingwei to monitor the city, Chang'an has gradually become active.

The purge of the Guanlong nobles in the city was responsible for the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, which was much milder than Xuanwu Jingwei, but it still had serious consequences, Dou Wei and Dugu committed suicide one after another, and the Dou family and the Dou Lu family were deposed, which caused an uproar in Chang'an.

This is called a fight between the gods and goddesses in the sky, the people on the earth are happy, and who is the nobleman of Guanlong who is copied? Which official was deposed? How much money did the Son of Heaven get, etc., these interesting topics were talked about by the drinkers in the wine shops in Chang'an, on the contrary, the loss of Taiyuan, the heroic martyrdom of Qu Tutong, and the destruction of the Tang army did not care much about the news.

At the Antai Liquor Restaurant near the East Market, dozens of drinkers drank and talked about the latest news.

"You know what? The Hou Mo Chen Family Lord's Mansion in Daorenfang was copied today. ”

An old drinker brought shocking news, and the drinkers gathered around and said, "What's going on, tell me about it!" ”

"Early this morning, Dali Temple officials with hundreds of royal forest soldiers broke into Hou Mo Chen Duo's mansion, I heard that Hou Mo Chen Duo was angry to death, Dali Temple from the back house warehouse transported hundreds of large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, there are 50,000 horses of good silk alone, Hou Mo Chen Duo's sons and nephews took knives to hurt people, and were arrested on the spot, worse than yesterday's Yu family, but Yu still left a lot of things, Hou Mo Chen's warehouse was emptied."

"How can it be so miserable? I heard that Hou Mo Chen Duo also surrendered in advance, and was named a scholar by the Son of Heaven, and he turned his face ruthlessly all of a sudden, and the Son of Heaven was ruthless! ”

"I don't think the Son of Heaven can be blamed for this, after all, these Guanlong nobles are different from our ordinary people, they have different intentions that will make the Tang Dynasty quickly lose the country, if the Zhou army kills, they will definitely be the first to surrender, rather than cheapening the Zhou army, it is better to share their wealth with the soldiers, maybe there is a chance to turn the tables."

"It's a fart, and the state and Bashu have been lost, and it's overturned! I think Chang'an will be breached sooner or later. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the trouble coming out of your mouth, Xuanwu Jingwei is not gone."

Everyone suddenly thought that Xuanwu Jingwei had not all left Chang'an, and they were so frightened that they returned to their seats one after another, not daring to talk nonsense again.

At this time, a man in his thirties who was sitting in the corner drinking sighed, put the wine money on the table, and got up and left, and a group of guards followed him closely.
