Chapter 743: The Kingdom of Khorasan
Yang Shouwen knows two 'brother slaves'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One is Yang Cunzhong, and now he is working in Tingzhou with Yang Chenglie.
The other is the young man in front of him, Li Linfu!
Li Linfu is exactly 20 years old this year, and he no longer looks as young as he used to be, but has been replaced by a steady spirit.
But in those eyes, there was a sparkle of brilliance.
He saluted Yang Shouwen and said: "In the past three years, Brother Yang's demeanor has become more and more outstanding. ”
Honey-bellied sword Li Linfu!
Of course, Yang Shouwen would not really despise Li Linfu because of that sentence. In history, this can be said to be the prime minister who was in charge of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand, and his talent is by no means idle. Of course, the current Li Linfu is far from reaching the Li Linfu who held the power of life and death in history, at least in Yang Shouwen's view.
"Brother Nu, long time no see."
Yang Shouwen said, nodded towards Wu Yanji and said, "Brother Wang, let my brother and slave accompany me, and when I finish talking about things, I will go to you." ”
"Well, don't run away."
Yang Shouwen agreed with a smile and separated from Wu Yanji and the others.
Under the guidance of Li Linfu, a group of people walked through a sea of flowers and came to a courtyard.
Here, close to Luoshui, the terrain is very high, and you can have a bird's-eye view of Luonan.
Out of the backyard, there is a small pier with a small painting boat docked on the dock, which can swim on the river at any time.
"This is the residence specially arranged by King Wei for Brother Yang.
Because it is located on the south bank of Luoshui, the terrain is relatively high, so it is called Nanshan. However, if Brother Yang doesn't like it, he can change it at any time. ”
"Nanshan?"
Yang Shouwen thought for a while and said softly: "This name is not good, why don't you do it?" ”
"Ann Paradise?"
Li Linfu's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It is indeed a good name." ”
"Gonu, you also know my eldest brother, who now lives in Anxi.
This time they came to Luoyang, I'm afraid that something will happen, so you can stay and help me with the staff. After all, I don't really know what is going on in the Divine Capital today. You've been here, and if you have any questions, you can remind me if you want to. ”
"Since Brother Yang has commanded, Brother Nu dares to disobey!"
Yang Shouwen noticed that Li Linfu's name for him was very different from that of others.
Others call him, either Yang Jun, Yang Gongzi, and a little closer, such as Wu Yanji, these people will call him directly to show that the two sides are close.
But Li Linfu has been called a brother, which seems to have a different meaning.
Yang Shouwen didn't believe that Li Linfu didn't notice the special name he called, and it was even possible that it was done on purpose.
Li Linfu arranged for the servants in the garden to settle the Persians.
Then, he led Yang Shouwen, Jeddah and Mina into a pavilion.
The scenery is beautiful, the view is wide, and more importantly, the surroundings are so empty that it's hard for anyone to hide and eavesdrop.
In the gazebo, a set of white porcelain tea sets is placed.
"Brother Yang, let's sit down and talk?"
"Very good!"
Yang Shouwen observed the surrounding environment and was satisfied.
He dragged Jeddah into the pavilion and saw a white porcelain charcoal stove beside him.
"The water here is based on the colostrum spring water in the morning sun on the north side of the mountain, according to the book of tea written by my brother. The water is very light and very sweet. It is said that even the saint now chooses this northern colostrum. ”
"Hahaha, brother, you know how to enjoy it now."
"What's the enjoyment, it's just doing some small things on errands and running errands for others."
"Brother slave now, what kind of errand?"
"Don't hide it from Brother Yang, after the crown, my uncle asked for an errand for me. I worked in Qianniuwei for a year, and then I left again because I offended Shangguan. My uncle originally wanted to ask for a Simen Langzhong for me, but as you know, it is difficult to be an official, even if my uncle begged someone, he couldn't succeed in the end, so he had to temporarily arrange me in Luozhou to do an errand of judge...... Every day, it's leisurely, but it's a bit boring. ”
Luozhou Judge?
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he showed a sudden expression.
He pointed at Li Linfu and said with a smile: "Brother Nu has great ambitions!" ”
Judging Zuo, that is, the deputy of the judge, if compared according to the bureaucratic system of later generations, it is equivalent to the treatment of a deputy chief clerk, in the Tang Dynasty, the book is a low-level official under the seventh grade. Li Linfu is a child of the Li Tang Sect, but he can only be a judge. Even if Luozhou is Shangshangzhou, it is still a judgment in the final analysis...... What's more, under the rule of Luozhou, there are many powerful and powerful families, and the princes are noble. A small judge, what kind of official position is it here?
Li Linfu said: "Big brother Hugh wants to shame me, how can I have great ambitions?" ”
"Heroes don't ask about their origins, not to mention that the brother slave is a royal nobleman, and his starting point is higher than others.
Hugh underestimated this errand of judging Zuo, you must know that when Di Gongming passed through Kedengdi, he was just a Bianzhou judge, which was lower than the starting point of Zhige Nu. But in the end? Di Gong's name is all over the world, and he is a very popular minister, and he is a pillar of the court.
Brother Nu, you are a smart man, and in my opinion, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. ”
Li Linfu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and when he looked at Yang Shouwen's gaze, he suddenly felt a little more grateful.
Don't look at Li Linfu as a child of the clan, but in fact, he is very down!
If it weren't for his uncle's love for him, no one would care about his future.
It is precisely because of this that Li Linfu has been very unhappy in the past three years, and it was not until the end of last year that the situation can be regarded as improving.
Qingyuan is now secretly called 'the periphery of the East Palace' by many people.
On the surface, Qingyuan is a playground run by a group of gentlemen. But if there is no one behind him, he will be a gold hole at most, and he will never reach the status he has now. Qingyuan has two arrogant characteristics, one is expensive, and the other is good.
Consumption is expensive, if you don't have a rich net worth, don't think about coming here to spend.
It's worth the money, every grass and tree here, and even every game, will be the best it can be.
Rising in the day, I am afraid that it is impossible to describe the income of Qingyuan. If there is no strong support, how can the children of the gentlemen hold on?
In addition, most of the people who run Qingyuan have a very close relationship with Donggong.
This also makes many people think that this Qingyuan is actually a window to the outside of the East Palace.
Before Li Linfu, he had always been depressed. It wasn't until the end of last year that he was named by Li Chongrun and was called into Qingyuan's circle. Don't look at him as just a judge, but in fact, in the Luozhou Mansion, he has extraordinary influence.
Even his superiors sometimes have to curry favor with him, hoping to get some inside information from him.
Li Linfu didn't understand at first, how did he become a member of Qingyuan?
Later, Wei Wan told him privately that the reason why Li Chongrun named him was because of Li Bao'er's recommendation.
And the reason why Li Bao'er recommended it was also because Li Linfu was Yang Shouwen's little brother, so he took care of it.
This is also the reason why Li Linfu called Yang Shouwen 'big brother'.
He actually knew very well in his heart what was the reason why he was able to blend in with Qingyuan now.
If you don't enter Qingyuan, you don't know the power behind Qingyuan.
In the eyes of outsiders, many things that cannot be solved at all, but when they arrive in Qingyuan, they can be easily solved......
There is no way, who let this Qingyuan back to the East Palace, and its members are a group of noble children!
Now, after listening to Yang Shouwen's words, he couldn't help but feel moved.
There was a small flame that began to appear in the bottom of his heart.
Di Gong can enter the prime minister by virtue of his judgment and become the pillar of the imperial court. Why can't I, Li Linfu, make a career out of the position of judge? Although I am not like Di Gong, I am from a Ming scripture, but I am a child of the clan!
In the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Jing Department was a subject of the imperial examination, but it was far inferior to the Jinshi Department.
The content of the main examination is basically the first posting, and then the oral examination, after asking ten questions about righteousness, and answering three questions about current affairs.
The post, also known as the post, mainly depends on the level of memorization of the scriptures, similar to dictation and fill-in-the-blank questions.
The content of such an examination is of course not enough for the candidates of Jinshi Subject. It is precisely because of this that the officials from the Ming Economic Branch are generally not too high. Di Renjieming was born in economics, but he was able to enter and exit the phase. And Li Linfu is a child of the clan, whether it is in terms of background or connections, it is not comparable to Di Renjie at the beginning.
He's done it and I can do it too!
Thinking of this, Li Linfu's voice trembled a little and said, "Brother Yang's teachings today, Brother Nu will not dare to forget it." ”
Speaking of which, in terms of ability, Li Linfu is not bad.
He may not be as famous as those in the early Tang Dynasty, but in the middle and late periods, he can definitely be called a leader.
Look at those people who were prime ministers before him! Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling...... No matter which one comes out, it is all famous. When Li Linfu was prime minister, he also made outstanding political achievements. At least, when he was alive, An Zhu An Lushan trembled in front of him, and he didn't dare to think about it at all...... But soon after Li Linfu's death, An Zhu rebelled, which immediately led to the Anshi Rebellion, which brought the Tang Dynasty to an abrupt end, and began to decline.
Yang Shouwen felt that from this point of view, Li Linfu was definitely an existence of the Dinghai Divine Needle in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was not comparable to the vain Tang Xuanzong.
Listening to Li Linfu's words, Yang Shouwen smiled and nodded at him, and then his eyes fell on Jida and Mina.
The water has been boiled, but Yang Shouwen does not remember to brew.
He threw the tea leaves into the teapot and waited for the water temperature to drop a little before starting a whole set of tea performances.
"Big brother, you and I reunited in Luoyang, and we should have drunk three cups first.
It's just that I'm still having some troubles on my body, and although I've seen saints, I can't relax for a day if I don't see results.
Therefore, I had to replace wine with tea.
When I'm out of trouble, we'll get drunk. ”
Mina's face froze, revealing a complicated expression.
But Jeddah nervously gestured: What trouble, do you want me to help?
Yang Shouwen secretly observed the expressions of the two, and immediately had some realization in his heart.
He was about to answer, but he heard Li Linfu on the side say: "What Brother Yang said, but what about the Japanese slaves?" ”
"You've heard that, too?"
"Haha, Brother Yang, it's not that the younger brother is boasting.
What's going on in Luoyang City, the younger brother is still relatively clear.
Yesterday the Japanese slave came back in embarrassment, and then he complained to the Honglu Temple. I heard that Gao Xiayu, the Qing of Honglu Temple, was very angry and wanted to trouble his eldest brother...... However, just now I heard the King of Wei over there also talk about this matter, saying that early this morning, the prince had asked Wei Wan to go and denounced Gao Xiayu, saying that he was only a slave, but not like his own people.
Look at it, there must be a radical change in the court today.
But ......"
When Li Linfu said this, he sneered and said: "Since Gao Xiayu doesn't know what to do, presumably the seat of Honglu Siqing will not be long in coming." ”
"Oh?"
"Big brother, you don't want the prince to be cautious, when will there be such a clear-cut action?
If the crown prince dares to send Wei Wan forward, it must have been with the permission of the saint. Otherwise, he might have stepped forward, but he would never have let Wei Yan speak. Wei Wan is now in the East Palace, although his position is not high, but it is enough to represent the face of the prince. ”
Yang Shouwen was stunned when he heard this, and at the same time glanced at Li Linfu with great appreciation.
Only then did he turn his head and say to Jida: "Big brother, you also heard it, my brother will not lie to me." ”
Jeddah gestured and said, "It's fine if you're all right...... If anyone really wants to trouble you, I'm going to kill him!"
Yang Shouwen's heart couldn't help but warm.
In the end, it is my own brother, and in the end it is my righteous brother!
Although his words sounded a little rough, Yang Shouwen could understand Jeddah's strong care.
"Don't talk about this, big brother, let's talk about you, what is the purpose of coming to God?"
Gilda hesitated and looked at Mina.
Mina hurriedly spoke: "Yang Jun, that's the case.
At the beginning, I followed Yang Jun's strategy, and after returning to Khorasan, I migrated from Khorasan to Mengchi with my people. With the help of Jili Yuanying, we finally gained a foothold in Mengchi. However, since last year, the Da Hui people have intensified their encirclement and suppression of Khorasan, and more and more people have defected to me, hoping to get my refuge...... Although the area of Mengchi is vast, the forces of all parties are intricate. The Tocharian countries welcomed us at first, and wanted to rely on us to defend themselves against the Great Enemy. But as our population grew, the Tocharians became wary of us......
In addition, the Turkic tribes in Mengchi also often clash with us, which makes it quite difficult for us.
I came to Shendu with Jeddah this time to submit our credentials to the Great Zhou Emperor, hoping that the Great Zhou Emperor would recognize our existence. ”
"You guys, you want to build a country?"
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't guess Mina's thoughts.
Mina, after all, is the princess of the Sassanid Persian Empire and the only legitimate heir to the royal family of the Sassanid Persian Empire.
Of course, she wanted to rebuild the Sassanid Persian Empire, but in reality, it was unlikely.
The Da Hui people have already occupied the land of the Persian Empire, and with the strength of the Da Yu people, it is by no means the little Persian remnant in Mina's hands can compete with. Of course, she wanted to build a state, and then gather more Persian people, increase her strength, and compete with the Da Kuo.
But the problem is that the Mengchi they occupy now is originally governed by the Tang Dynasty.
And the native Tocharians, who are wary of them, will naturally suppress them. As a result, Mina and the others had to face the attack of the Da Kou people externally, and internally, they needed the Turkic tribes of the local Mengchi and the Tocharian sneak attack.
Without a suitable identity, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the pond.
After all, their growing numbers will inevitably cause unimaginable pressure on the Tocharians, as well as on the Turks.
Unless......
Yang Shouwen frowned and looked at Li Linfu.
And Li Linfu was taken aback and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
This is really a big deal!
