Chapter 448: The War Is Critical
I don't know if I slept too long last night, or because of Cheng Caixi's abnormality and lingering, Tang An slept very unsteadily this night.
What lingered in my mind was always Cheng Caixi's thoughtful appearance and the words she said when she grabbed her hand after a hangover.
"Dad, even if my daughter fights for her life, she will definitely not let you die!"
What happened to Cheng Yunhe?
Although he is rich and rivals the country, in the final analysis, he is just a lowly businessman, what kind of big crime can he commit? And he has an inextricable relationship with countless court officials, his own daughter is still the head catcher of the Feitianmen woman, can't these people protect him?
Tang An couldn't figure it out.
He was just a little sleepy, but he was woken up by a quick knock on the door.
When he opened the door, it was still dark outside, but the old eunuch Zhang Dayou was wearing thick clothes, and said with an anxious face: "Ouch, my Tang Houye, why haven't you changed your clothes yet!" Have you forgotten that the emperor asked you to report to the palace today? ”
"Oops!" Tang An patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, I really forgot, you wait for me." ”
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed shut. Zhang Dayou, who was outside the door, ate a closed door, not only did he feel annoyed, but he looked admiring.
Entering the palace to face the saint, which adult in the past was not sleepless and honestly afraid? Dare to put the emperor's explanation behind, this Lord Tang is still the first one since the beginning of the dynasty. And in the face of himself, the emperor's spokesman, he was unceremoniously, and he closed the door so domineeringly, which deserved to be a general.
************************
It was warm as spring in the study.
When Tang An entered this room that made him a little frightened, he found that he was not the only one who came.
Qin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, looking very casual, without the majesty of an emperor. On several sandalwood chairs sat the sixth prince Qin Yue, who had obviously lost a circle, the Flying Heaven Gate master with nearly half gray hair, and an old man who looked so old that he couldn't walk.
Although this person Tang An had never seen it, he also knew that if he could sit with Qin Yue and the Flying Heaven Gate Master, he would undoubtedly be the emperor's confidant.
Seeing someone enter the house, the old man at the end stood up with his body bent, bowed slightly to Qin Tian, and said, "The emperor's thoughts, the old man understands. If it's okay, then the old man will go back first. ”
Qin Yue also stood up together, smiled at Tang An, and then saluted: "The minister will also go back with the elder." ”
Qin Tian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's cold and the road is slippery, so be careful on the road." ”
The two of them saluted, turned and went out the door. When the old man walked to Tang An's side, his cloudy eyes glanced at Tang An meaningfully, and said, "Tang Hou Ye is young and promising, which is really gratifying. ”
Tang An smiled modestly: "Uncle, you are too polite, I don't know your surname?" ”
"The old man's surname is Dai." The old man smiled slightly, "In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will have to be closer to the Hou Ye." ”
Intimate? You're not a pretty little lady, why should I be close to you?
Just as Tang An pondered over this ambiguous sentence, the old man with the surname tightened his clothes, gave Tang An a mysterious smile, and turned around and walked out of the house with Qin Yue.
In the warm room, only Qin Tian, the Flying Heaven Sect Master, and Tang An were left.
Tang An put the talented old man behind him, and saluted: "See the emperor!" ”
"Excuse me."
"Emperor Xie!"
Tang An, whose knees had not yet bent, rose up with the trend.
Qin Tian smiled slightly, beckoned to the chair in his hand and said, "Sit down, there are only a few of us at the moment, don't care about those red tapes." ”
Tang An thanked him again and sat down on the chair steadily, causing the Feitian Gate Master next to him to look sideways slightly.
It must be known that ordinary ministers are just politely dipping their chairs, and it cannot be said that it has never been seen since ancient times when a big horse golden knife like Tang An sits so solidly, at least he has never seen it.
"I gave you a prince two days ago, but you are in no hurry to receive your reward. It's really rare to see a carefree Hou like you. Qin Tian made a joke and picked up the hot teacup: "Come, tell me about your affairs in the Western Regions." ”
Since Qin Tian let the Flying Heaven Sect Master stay, he must have regarded him as a henchman among his henchmen. Tang An no longer shied away from anything, and from the time they met Su Mei'er, he carefully told Qin Tian about the entire trip to the Western Regions.
In normal times, I heard that Tang An would add a sentence "under the guidance of the emperor's wise and martial arts" every time there was a wonderful place, maybe Qin Tian would be in a good mood. However, when he learned the overall plan of the Dongfang Expedition from Tang An's mouth, Qin Tian's face was gloomy and terrifying.
"Humph! I thought that no matter how much the old dog in the East wanted to be the emperor, at least he would think about the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately I was wrong. When I learned of the war on the border of the Western Regions, I knew that there must be a connection between the two, and at that time I thought that I could play with my beard between applause, and this old dog of the East, although hateful, was also worthy of admiration. Now it seems that this old thing has only made a wedding dress for others! After all, he's just afraid of death! Take the lives of the entire Western Regions and 120,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers to be buried, this old thing - a hundred deaths cannot be redeemed! ”
The master of the Flying Heaven Gate hurriedly got up and said, "The emperor is angry! ”
Qin Tianyu snorted coldly in anger and said, "Go on!" ”
Tang An coughed, how would he encounter Ying Xie, hear the news from his mouth that the Great Elder of the Shenwu Sect intended to rebel, and how did he come to Dima City by mistake, pretending to be a god stick to deceive the Hun city lord Huyantuo, provoking the contradiction between the Huns and the Tiele people, and how he used his insignificant power to make Dima chaotic, and successfully broke the dirty water on the Tiele people, so that the Emperor of Xia Kingdom could predict the conspiracy of the Huns.
"Bang!"
Qin Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but get up and say loudly: "Okay, what a trick to kill with a knife!" In this way, the king of Xia will definitely guard against the Huns, and the Xia kingdom is no longer monolithic. And Mo Lingtu's reputation will also fall to the bottom because of a simple anti-intrigue scheme, even if King Xia wants to use him again, he must consider the crowd. In this way, the pace of Xia's eastward invasion is bound to be delayed, and the internal contradictions will also be brought to the surface, and there is no room for turning around between the Xia royal family and the Xiongnu. Good for you Tang An, what a good move! If it weren't for the fact that you have no foundation, what if I would have made you a prince! ”
Tang An smiled and said, "Thanks to the emperor's cultivation, Tang An can thrive." I learned all these skills from the emperor. ”
The Flying Heaven Gate Master couldn't help but cough and secretly glanced at Tang An. Damn, it is strange to be able to play shamelessness to such a point, and not to bow to the prime minister.
Hearing such exciting news, the gloom in Qin Tian's heart was swept away. Putting on his shoes and pacing back and forth in the room, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "It is really commendable to achieve such a record with only 3,000 remnants. I really didn't expect you, who haven't been on the battlefield for a day, to do this. Alas, it's just a pity for the old general......"
Thinking of Zhan Lingyun's voice and smile, Tang An's expression was gloomy, and he said: "The old general sacrificed his life for the country, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, the emperor please mourn." ”
Qin Tian sighed: "Yes, the horse leather shroud, died on the battlefield... Zhanjia has always been the most solid copper wall and iron sheet in my Tang Dynasty. It's just a pity ... Grandpa was a hero, but he gave birth to a rebellious grandson who was not successful! ”
Rebellious grandson? Tang An's face changed and asked, "What does the emperor mean..."
The main gate of the Flying Gate said: "Zhan Wushuang defected to the enemy and rebelled with the east, and now he personally led 30,000 rebels to besiege Luonan City. ”
