Chapter 484: The human heart is unpredictable

Yes, I'm still wearing sin!

After Gai Jiayun finished talking about the situation, Yang Shouwen's first reaction was to go to the Western Regions.

But with Mingxiu's reminder, he closed his mouth again. He is now the crown prince's stand-in monk, and he is a guilty body. The saint personally decreed that he should be a monk in Taohuayu for three years, and even during these three years, he could not enter Luoyang City.

This is equivalent to saying that Wu Zetian has imprisoned him!

In this way, it would be troublesome for him to get out of Luozhou, let alone go to the Western Regions......

Yang Shouwen suddenly felt a headache and was entangled in his heart.

He's famous now, but he's still not comfortable. Even more restrained than when he was in Changping.

Wu Zetian treats him well!

He caused so much trouble, and even slapped the face of the Li Tang royal family, but he still lived leisurely.

Not only that, Wu Zetian also promoted his father's position and entrusted him with important tasks.

This one thing after another made Yang Shouwen have to think of Wu Zetian's favors. It's only been a few months since he was honest, if he provokes trouble again, it is estimated that Wu Zetian will definitely go berserk immediately, and his father will be unlucky at that time.

The higher the status, the greater the fame, and the more favors you owe.

Yang Shouwen's emotional intelligence is not very high, but he is not a person who does not know what to do......

"Second brother, how can you be born?"

Gai Jiayun heard that Yang Shouwen couldn't leave, and seemed to be in a hurry.

Mingxiu watched from the sidelines, and suddenly said, "Gai Laosan...... I'll call you the third child too. Speaking of which, your family in the Western Regions is more familiar and has a wider range of contacts. Even you can't find any trace of Absjida, so I'm afraid it's useless for Qingzhi to go. Or is it that you came this time because you were entrusted by others, so you want to go to Qingzhi? ”

That's right, I don't know anything about the Western Regions, even in the past, it may not be more useful than Gai Laojun's family.

But listening to Gai Jiayun's meaning, it seems that he hopes that I can go to the Western Regions!

Yang Shouwen was concerned about Jeddah's safety just now. So didn't think much about it. Now Mingxiu's words reminded him and made him feel that something was not right. His eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Gai Jiayun. Didn't say anything.

Gai Jiayun's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head.

"Third child, what's going on?"

"Second brother, the eldest brother is really missing!"

Gai Jiayun blushed. He said, "Dad, they're still tracking...... This time, I wanted to invite the second brother to the Western Regions, but it was actually the eldest brother's idea. ”

This kid is still the Gai Jiayun of the year, although he is much calmer, he still maintains his pure heart.

Yang Shouwen didn't speak, so he panicked.

Is it okay to be gaig?

In Yang Shouwen's mind, a thin young figure suddenly appeared.

Gai Jiaxing is the eldest son of Gai Laojun and the elder brother of Gai Jiayun. He reads a lot, and when he was in Changping before, he served as Gai Laojun's helper and handled some trivial matters for Gai Laojun. In Yang Shouwen's impression. Gai Jiaxing is a capable person, but he has a deep mind. It is precisely like this that Yang Shouwen was not very close to him at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen sighed.

"Third child, what's going on?"

"At the end of last year, the imperial court opened the Beiting Protectorate in Tingzhou."

"Is there such a thing?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment and looked at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu sneered, "You were busy with your family's wrappings at the time, and you didn't care about outside things at all...... That's right, at the end of last year. That is, on the seventh day of the lunar month, the sage felt that the situation in the Western Regions was chaotic, so he aimed to open the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in Tingzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Yang Shouwen listened. Immediately, the old face turned red.

"You don't want to talk nonsense, how can I be tired of being with Xiao."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Mingxiu, but looked at Gai Jiayun.

When it comes to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, in fact, Yang Shouwen's concept is also very vague.

It was founded in the 14th year of Zhenguan and governed the western Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tajikistan, most of Afghanistan, northeastern Iran, and the eastern half of Turkmenistan. Most of Uzbekistan.

With such a vast territory and a mix of ethnic groups, it is natural that there are few conflicts of all kinds.

In fact, the Tang Empire had countless enemies in Anxi, and the biggest enemy among them was none other than the Tibetans, who had once made peace with the Tang.

In the second year of Longshuo, Tubo and Tang fought for the four towns of Anxi, and even fell for a time.

Since then, the two sides have continued to fight, and their administrative offices have been relocated many times. It was not until the first year of longevity that Wang Xiaojie recovered the four towns of Anxi and opened a mansion in Qiuzi, which was considered to be stable in the capital of Anxi. However, the stability of the government does not mean that the conflict has stopped. The Tibetans continued to harass the invaders, and the rise of the Great Treasure in the west repeatedly threatened the vassal states of Anxi. In this way, although the whole of Anxi is calm on the surface, in fact there is a lot of conflict.

Gai Jiayun said: "At the end of last year, the imperial court issued an order to open the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and accepted the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

"Who?"

"It's Guo Qianqian."

Mingxiu said while speaking: This person is from Licheng, Qizhou, recommended by Duke Di, and was appointed as the protector of Beiting. ”

"How do you know?"

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but feel puzzled, looked at Mingxiu and asked.

"Nonsense, every ten days, the Prince's Mansion will send a newspaper from the palace, don't you read it?"

"Uh......"

Yang Shouwen immediately closed his mouth and didn't argue with Mingxiu again.

It can be seen that Li Xian still cares about him very much.

After being imprisoned, he was very concerned, and often sent people to deliver newspapers from the imperial court.

This thing is not something that everyone can see, Li Xian's intention to cultivate Yang Shouwen is also very obvious.

It's a pity that Yang Shouwen is not that interested.

He himself didn't mean to participate in the battle in the court at all, so he never cared about those Di Bao. Instead, he prefers to look at some of the laws and regulations, as well as the development and evolution of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. From the "Wude Law" designated during the Wude period to the "Zhenguan Law" designated by Tang Taizong, as well as the "Yonghui Law Shu" revised by the eldest grandson Wuji and others, that is, the "Tang Law Shu Yi" that was familiar to everyone in later generations, he has read it countless times.

In particular, the "Yonghui Laws and Regulations" can be said to summarize the experience of legislation and annotation since the Han and Wei dynasties, and has a far-reaching impact on later generations.

The law of Zaichu implemented by Wu Zetian today is actually a further development on the basis of Yonghui law.

Mingxiu is not interested in this at all.

But Yang Shouwen showed great interest, and asked Yang Chenglie, Zhang Shuo and others to collect information for him.

Seeing this, Mingxiu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"It seems that the prince's hard work has been in vain."

He also ignored Yang Shouwen's stunned expression, and said to Gai Jiayun: "Third child, you go on." ”

Gai Jiayun swallowed his saliva and said softly: "The eldest brother heard that the trusted Guo Dudu likes the second brother's poetry and articles very much, so I want to take this opportunity to invite the second brother to go to the Western Regions...... Because, the eldest brother has the heart to fight for the position of the chief secretary of the capital. ”

Just let me go and give him a platform?

To be honest, if Gai Jiaxing really needed him to stand on the platform, Yang Shouwen would not refuse.

Of course, this premise is that Wu Zetian can let him go. Even if Wu Zetian doesn't let him go, he can write an article in the past. In any case, Gai Laojun fought side by side with his father back then, resisting the attack of the Jingyan Army together, and he was also a comrade-in-arms. Yang Shouwen had a good impression of Gai Laojun, and if Gai Jiaxing really asked him for help, he would definitely help.

But now......

Gai Jiaxing has changed the flavor of this friendship.

Gai Jiayun saw that Yang Shouwen's face was not good, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, in fact, I don't agree with the eldest brother's idea. ”

"But, the old army is moved?"

"This ......"

Gagar stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Yang Shouwen had already understood the situation, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and shook his head gently.

This career is the easiest way to change a person.

I think that at the beginning, the unruly head of Changping County has only been a year, and it has undergone tremendous changes.

He began to drill camp, and even learned to calculate!

Yang Shouwen doesn't like this kind of old army.

He likes and misses even more the high-roller who ate and killed people with him in Changping County and fought side by side.

"Second brother, I really don't approve of it...... But, but ...... Daddy has changed now, and he has become a stranger to me. ”

Gai Jiayun saw that Yang Shouwen didn't speak, and his mood suddenly became bad.

His eyes were slightly red, his voice was choked, and he said in a low voice: "Xiaoniang and I don't approve, but I can't persuade them." (To be continued.) )
