Chapter 6: The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp three

"Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, the first emperor Emperor Dezong ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope you can learn from the past and think twice."

"The terrain of Xichuan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, please think twice!"

"The army is far away, and the art of war is not done, Your Majesty!"

At the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Chun announced his decision to the ministers. In his opinion, the use of troops in Shu is just a prelude, and the real target he got was Hebei, Huaixi, Ziqing, and every unruly feudal town in the Tang Empire. Li Chun, who has lofty ambitions, didn't take Xichuan and Liu Bi in his eyes at all, if Liu Bi hadn't taken the initiative to jump out to find death, he would have ignored him at all. But the ministers didn't think so, since Tianbao, the fact that the government army has been defeated again and again has stimulated their weakened nerves, and step by step they have accumulated a conclusion, a conclusion that makes people sigh: the empire, if you don't fight, you will lose. As a result, Li Chun's decision caused an uproar among them, and they tried their best to stop Li Chun's unrealistic idea.

The fierce reaction of the ministers made Li Chun a little surprised and chilled, and also a little hesitant and lonely. After all, the emperor is also a human being, such an important national policy, of course Li Chun also hopes to get the support and help of the second and third colleagues, such a big thing, he can't do it alone. Li Chun raised his head, looking around at these familiar and unfamiliar subordinates with expectant eyes and anxious eyes, could it be that the Manchu Dynasty ministers really didn't have their own colleagues?

"Liu Pi, a crazy scholar's ear, take it like a mustard ear!" , A loud voice remembered in time, the voice may not be particularly grand, but it seems to fill every corner of the Xuanzheng Palace, flowing in the air, echoing on the main hall, hitting everyone's eardrums, and of course, hitting Li Chun's heart.

"The same way is coming", Li Chun followed the prestige in surprise, and what caught his eye was an elegant old man, this old man he knew, not only knew, but also very familiar, because this person was Du Huangshang, his most trusted prime minister.

At that time, Du Huangshang was a celebrity and very famous. However, once, he had a superior, more famous, and his name was Guo Ziyi. It was under Guo Ziyi's command that Du Huangshang began to write his own life legend.

According to the custom, every few years, the envoys of the festival would enter Beijing to meet and be questioned by the emperor or the prime minister. Although, at that time, many feudal towns had already fallen in love with the feeling of not returning to Chang'an, and Chang'an seemed to have no way to take them. But they are them, Guo Ziyi is Guo Ziyi, they can not go back to Chang'an, Guo Ziyi can't go back. Because, Guo Ziyi is a hero, a great hero.

Of course, it is a good thing to have merit, you can get corresponding benefits and rewards from Chang'an, so that your small life will be more nourishing and comfortable; However, if the credit is too great for any reward to negate your credit, you are a threat to the Emperor. For the threat, the emperor, whether it is the Senseless Monarch or the Holy Monarch, they will rack their brains to eliminate it. There are many ways to eliminate, and killing is the easiest one. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Xiangguo Zixu, Yue Dafu Wenzhong, and Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, who were heroes of the Xinghan Dynasty, all brought death to themselves because of their great meritorious service. Guo Ziyi's great achievements in rebuilding the Tang Dynasty are similar to those of the previous ones, but Guo Ziyi doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, so all he can do is be cautious, for fear of saying the wrong word and doing the wrong thing.

Chang'an had to go, Guo Ziyi packed her bags and went to Chang'an in style. For a period of time in the future, Shuofang lacks a person who can live in the town. This period of time, of course, is not too long, but it is not too short, at least, enough for something to happen, something bad, for example, a conspiracy. In fact, a conspiracy, a long-planned conspiracy, and a big conspiracy against Guo Ziyi have long been in place. Whether Shuo Fang, who lacks the backbone of the backbone, is capable enough to deal with this conspiracy from within remains to be tested.

The mastermind of the conspiracy was an incomplete person, and the group he represented was an active existence throughout the late Tang Dynasty. They have a name that is not very popular, called eunuchs. A eunuch, who is not pampered in Beijing, but who is not far away, comes to the feudal town to point fingers and make a fortune, and his main purpose is only one, that is, to do things for the Son of Heaven and share worries for the emperor.

The eunuch stationed in Shuofang certainly knew what the emperor was worried about. Therefore, as soon as he got out of the car, he was planning a thing, looking for a suitable person to replace the person who made the emperor restless. The hard work paid off, and soon, a person named Li Huaiguang came into his sight. Li Huaiguang is a general under Guo Ziyi, but he is not a confidant, and he doesn't seem to be treated much by Guo Ziyi.

The two hit it off, and the protagonist of the conspiracy became Li Huaiguang, who ran around, privately connected in tandem, and attracted a group of so-called like-minded friends to form a force that was not too big, nor too small. Now, in Li Huaiguang's view, he is already ready for everything and only owes Dongfeng, as for that Dongfeng, of course, it depends on Guo Ziyi's performance. If Guo Ziyi is killed and does not leave Shuofang, even if Li Huaiguang has this thief's heart, he will not have the courage of that thief, after all, Guo Ziyi's prestige is there.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, Li Huaiguang hid in a dark corner and waited, and finally waited for such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Guo Ziyi, don't blame me, who made you obsessed, you have to go to Chang'an, the opportunity is in front of me, if I don't fight for it, then I'm sorry for myself.

Of course, although Guo Ziyi is gone, he still has many henchmen, many henchmen with heavy soldiers, for example, gentle and elegant. Therefore, in order to smoothly ascend to the top, some things have to be done, and some people have to be removed. However, it is not easy to get rid of Wen Ruya, and a group of people behind him, it is not easy. Li Huaiguang pondered and meditated, but sadly found that there seemed to be only two people who could kill Wen Ruya, one of them was the gentle and elegant superior Guo Ziyi, and the other, of course, was the superior of the superior, the emperor. Of course, Guo Ziyi will not kill his henchmen for no reason, as for the emperor, in order to deal with Guo Ziyi, there seems to be nothing that cannot be done. It's a pity that the emperor is thousands of miles away, and he really doesn't have time to ask for instructions, because the opportunity is fleeting, and he won't come back after he has passed.

However, things don't seem to be so complicated, although it's too late to ask the emperor, but you can borrow something from the emperor, as long as the result is in line with the emperor's wishes, it doesn't matter if you want to come to his old man's house. What's more, what he wanted to borrow was actually just a piece of paper, and there was also holy will. Yes, what Li Huaiguang has to do is to forge an edict, an edict to kill Wen Ruya and others. For the sake of power, he opened up, completely out of the way.

When Li Huaiguang stepped into the door of the festival with great ambition, Du Huangshang was doing an elegant thing and tasting tea. In Datang, tea tasting is a fashion and an elegance. If the literati don't know how to taste tea, it's like they can't recite poetry. The author of China's first tea classic was the Tang dynasty Lu Yu, and he became a saint for it, of course, a tea saint. Guo Ziyi, who has made great achievements in war, has become the talk of literati and doctors after tea because he doesn't know how to taste tea, and he was even recorded in a fuss. Guo Ziyi doesn't know how to taste tea, but his subordinate Du Huangshang understands it very well.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and Du Huangshang greedily sucked the charming fragrance of tea, and his mood was empty. Since Guo Ziyi entered Beijing, Du Huangshang has become Shuo Fang's temporary head of the family. The literati's acumen and intuition told him that Shuo Fang, who was calm on the surface, did not seem to be very calm, and once the turbulent dark tide in the ground surfaced, it would become a terrifying wave that could drown people, and perhaps, this huge wave would take the lives of many people, of course, including him Du Huangshang, and even his most beloved superior, Shuo Fang's envoy Guo Ziyi. Right now, all he can do is do everything possible to stop this dark tide from coming to the surface, and for that, he needs strong nerves and a calm brain, and the only thing that can help him do this is the fragrant tea leaves everywhere.

"The edict is fake!" Du Huangshang only glanced at it, and found the flaws in the so-called edict. He elegantly picked up a delicate teacup, carefully took a sip of tea, and slowly tasted the fragrant tea, for a long time, for a long time, before swallowing it slowly, and then lightly said his judgment.

"You, why do you say that the edict is fake?" Li Huaiguang raised his head in shock, a trace of panic flashed in his suspicious eyes, although his tone seemed to be calm, but the inconsistency of the language betrayed his heart.

Du Huangshang smiled slightly, stretched out his slender fingers, and began to list the flaws in this edict one by one.

Li Huaiguang listened silently, and couldn't find a word to effectively refute it, it turned out that the edict he had carefully concocted was so vulnerable in front of the shrewd Du Huangsheng. Now, he seems to regret a little, regretting that he was too reckless and drove himself into a corner.

"What a crime to forge an edict! Do you know? Du Huangsheng, who was smiling a second ago, was cloudy in an instant, and his handsome face was full of murderous aura.

"I, I, I ......" Li Huaiguang's psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, and the sweat accumulated all over his body instantly blowout, forming a small river under his feet; The upper and lower teeth, which have always lived in harmony, suddenly broke out into a fierce conflict and began to collide violently.

"But ,......", Du Huangsheng, who was still full of murderous anger just now, suddenly became pleasant again, and his face was full of spring breeze, warm spring breeze, and intoxicating spring breeze. He walked up to Li Huaiguang and gently patted Li Huaiguang's back.

"But what?" Li Huaiguang seemed to have been struggling in the abyss of fear for a long time, and suddenly saw a glimmer of light, and was busy asking.

"However, you are a person of great achievements, so I can treat this incident as if it never happened!" Du Huangshang spoke in a magnetic voice, with his trademark smile on his face.

"Guilty of despicable duty, willing to be punished!" Li Huaiguang was overjoyed, and the upper and lower teeth, which had been in a fierce conflict just now, suddenly regained harmony.

Looking at the back of Li Huaiguang, who was gradually disappearing, Du Huangshang breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon, his brows twisted into a pimple again.

In the next few days, Du Huangshang pretended to be Guo Ziyi's instructions and carried out a series of personnel changes with lightning speed, and some people were skillfully cut off from military power, and these people had one thing in common: they were all very close to Li Huaiguang. A possible chaos was quietly eliminated by Du Huangsheng.

A few months later, Guo Ziyi returned in fine clothes, and the Shuo Fang that greeted him was still a calm Shuo Fang, without any wind and clouds. Of course, there are still changes, for example, Du Huangshang's prestige and popularity seem to have been greatly improved.

Soon, Du Huangshang, who was growing in reputation, walked into Chang'an with great ambition and became an authentic Beijing official. With his fame and wisdom, he thinks that his career in Chang'an will definitely be smooth and his future is unlimited. But the fact is the opposite, in Chang'an, Du Huangsheng's official fortune is not very prosperous, to be exact, not prosperous at all. Because, he offended a person, a person who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

No matter from which point of view, Pei Yanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dezong period, was an authentic villain. However, sometimes, villains also need one or two celebrities to decorate their façade, back then, Dong Zhuo took a fancy to Cai Yong, and now, Pei Yanling fell in love with Du Huangshang at a glance. The reason why he chose Du Huangshang, of course, Pei Yanling has his own abacus, a very, very wishful abacus: Du Huangshang is famous, but there is still one thing missing in Chang'an: connections. In Chang'an officialdom, without deep connections, it is difficult to mix. As for him Pei Yanling, he has connections, because he has the most important connections in his hands, that is, the emperor. But fame seems to be lacking a little bit, if Du Huangshang is brought over and learn from each other's strengths, the two of them will be invincible in the world together. However, as a literati, Pei Yanling doesn't seem to understand literati, I'm talking about real literati. A literati, a real literati, can like gold, jade, pearls, and emeralds, glory, wealth, and wealth, but he will never sell one thing for these things, that is, conscience. Coincidentally, Du Huangshang is such a literati, a real literati.

Since Du Huangshang entered Chang'an, Pei Yanling began to squeeze his eyebrows and knock on the side, hoping that Du Huangshang would take the initiative to visit. It's a pity that Du Huangsheng, such a smart person, didn't understand, and didn't go to Pei's Mansion to visit as he wished. Pei Yanling, who was amorous and sentimental, scratched his head for a long time, but he didn't receive any signal from Du Huangsheng. Finally one day, his head suddenly opened, and Du Huangshang was making fun of me! Since you are so ignorant of lifting, then don't blame me Pei for not talking about friendship.

Pei Yanling, who had a sullen stomach, held the spirit of nitpicking and picking bones in eggs, and carefully searched for the slightest flaw in Du Huangshang. It's a pity that Du Huangshang is an old fox, Pei Yanling looked left and right, but couldn't find any handle. Unable to drive him out of Chang'an, Pei Yanling had no choice but to hang Du Huangshang aside and not be promoted, which was ten years. In this way, during the ten years that Pei Yanling was in charge of the government, Du Huangshang has been standing still and has never been promoted.

After a long ten years, the mediocre Emperor Dezong finally kicked his legs and went to see the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. The backer fell, and the notorious Pei Yanling was kicked out of Chang'an, and the next person in charge of the government was the famous so-called "Wang Shuwen Group". It seems that Du Huangshang is going to be transferred, and he is going to be lucky, because there is a person in the "Wang Shuwen Group", a person named Wei Zhiyi, who has something to do with Du Huangsheng, and the relationship is very unusual, because Wei Zhiyi's wife is Du Huangshang's daughter, her daughter! Wei Zhiyi's current position is the prime minister, and he is the number one among the prime ministers, a dignified imperial prime minister, reaching out to pull an old man who is in dire straits, it is reasonable and reasonable. It's a pity that Wei Zhiyi doesn't want to, and Du Huangshang doesn't want either, because they are political enemies. What's more, Wang Shuwen, the actual head of the "Wang Shuwen Group", was commanding, which made the arrogant old man Du feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Having said that, Weng's son-in-law is Weng's son-in-law after all, and Du Huangshang is very worried, worried about the ending of his son-in-law. He watched coldly and came to a clear conclusion: Wang Shuwen can't become a climate, and the future Son of Heaven must be the crown prince Li Chun, who is now suppressed by the "Wang Shuwen Group". And once Li Chun ascends the throne, Wang Shuwen will die, and as for his son-in-law, of course, the end will not be much better. In order to pull his son-in-law, Du Huangshang thought hard and came up with an idea, an idea that might change the fate of the "Wang Shuwen Group": the prince is in charge of the country! "Wang Shuwen Group" took the initiative to show goodwill and let the crown prince Li Chun supervise the country. In this way, Li Chun's revenge will not be too tragic.

It's a pity that his son-in-law will be wrong, thinking that his old Taishan is going to tie up with the possible emperor in the future, his head is hot, he forgets the identity of the person standing in front of him, and he no longer has scruples when he speaks: "I said old man, after so many years, you finally got an official position, what qualifications do you have to discuss national affairs!" ”

Kindly became a donkey's liver and lungs, and was humiliated by his son-in-law with a gun and a stick for no reason, where could the arrogant old man Du stand this, turned his face on the spot, and said angrily: "I Du Huangshang has been favored by three dynasties, how can I buy it with an official!" After finishing speaking, Du Huangshang flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Du Huangshang's departure also ruined the last chance for the "Wang Shuwen Group" to change his fate.

In less than a year, Li Chun has successfully ascended to the throne, the "Wang Shuwen Group" died and depreciated, and the end was very tragic, and Wei Zhiyi was naturally in a catastrophe, and was relegated to the desolate Lingnan to be a small eight-grade Sima. And his father-in-law, this time he really changed his luck, and he changed his luck, and became the leader of the civil official group.

Du Huangshang is a generous person, especially to his son-in-law. Therefore, Du Huangshang, who worshiped the prime minister, did not forget his daughter and son-in-law who were suffering in the wilderness, and not only spared no effort to help them financially, but also tried his best to get his son-in-law back to Chang'an. It's a pity that Wei Zhiyi, who accepted the worst defeat in his life, was bored and soon died depressed in the wild land of Lingnan.
