Chapter 580: Yan Zhi's identity
Wu Zetian's oracle seems to be very harsh at first glance, but in fact there is no anger.
This is more like a reminder from an elder to a junior, telling Yang Shouwen not to forget the main purpose of this westward trip.
"Your Majesty, is there only one sentence?"
Gao Lishi nodded slightly embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty is so ordered, and the slave and maid will never dare to omit half a sentence." ”
It seems that Wu Zetian really attaches great importance to this Yan weaving!
Yang Shouwen thought for a moment and had already made a decision.
"Xiao Gao, I bother you to report to the sage when you go back, and say that I have not forgotten the sage's entrustment, and I have asked Mingxiu to go to Kulun City in advance. Yan Zhi disappeared mysteriously, and the last clue left behind was Kutancheng, but there is no clue yet. ”
"Yang Jun, you should say these words to Your Majesty in person after you go back."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty ordered the slave maid to stay and assist Yang Jun until Yan Zhi was found."
"You're staying?"
Gao Lishi said: "The slave maid has seen Yan Weaving, so His Majesty asked the slave maid to cooperate with Yang Jun." ”
"You, have you seen Yan Weaving? When ......"
"Last year, when Yan Zhi returned to Luoyang, the slave maid saw him once.
The slave maid still remembered that the princess was also in Shangyang Palace that day, and the slave maid had the honor to serve outside the palace. Yan Jun and His Majesty have met, and when they left, they had a face-to-face with the slave maid. At that time, the princess also asked the slave maid about his identity, but the slave maid did not know very well.
Later, the princess told the slave maid that the person's name was Yan Zhi, who was the attendant of the palace and the confidant of His Majesty.
However, Yan Jun is away all the year round, and there are not many people who know what to do except His Majesty, and even the princess doesn't know. If it weren't for His Majesty's order this time, the slaves and maids would not have known that Yan Jun was actually doing things on Anxi's side. ”
The staffing of Sigongtai is very complicated, with two prisoners, two young eunuchs and four chamberlains.
This chamberlain, which is roughly equivalent to a position above the fourth rank, is a close minister of the emperor's side, and is not something ordinary people can bear.
Gao Yanfu, who seems to be Gao Lishi's clothes, is equivalent to Yan Jun's position.
It's just that such a character, who would have thought that it would be the secret agent in the Anxi region?
Yang Shouwen was a little dazed, and said softly: "You mean, Yan Jun is...... People like you? ”
Colliers nodded, sort of an answer.
Ha, is this the 'East Factory and West Factory' of the Tang Dynasty?
Yang Shouwen suddenly realized that this Yan Zhi must have information in his hands that even Wu Zetian was paying attention to, otherwise Wu Zetian would not have urged him to find Yan Zhi so much.
It seems that the trip to the city of Kunon must be made as soon as possible......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The reason why Yang Shouwen stayed in Broken Leaf City was because he was worried that the dragons in Broken Leaf City would be leaderless.
However, the day after Gao Lishi arrived, the Anxi Prefecture sent an order appointing Lai Yao as the military envoy of the Baoda Army to rebuild the Baoda Army. At the same time, Tang Xiujing, the protector of the capital of Anxi, ordered to appoint Gao Sheji, a guerrilla general of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, to temporarily take the position of the city lord of Broken Leaf City, and to carry out large-scale repairs and transformations after eliminating Bo Lu.
It seems that Yang Shouwen's suggestion has been recognized, and the imperial court has begun to pay more attention to Broken Leaf City.
This also made Yang Shouwen feel at ease, so on the day that the order of the Anxi Protectorate arrived, he quietly left Shattered Leaf City.
Su Mi, the imperial court will appoint otherwise.
According to the news from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Su Misha will be transferred to Wuwei.
Obviously, Wu Zetian also accepted Su Mi's so-called 'An Xinggui Tongzong's identity, or rather, Wu Zetian also needs such a person to revitalize the lintel of his home in Wuwei. But what do you think exactly? Yang Shouwen is unknown.
The only pity is that Seriga was killed in the battle of Bashling.
Otherwise, it is very likely that he will get his wish and go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to take up a post.
Yang Shouwen didn't meet Su Mi Chuan again, because what he promised Su Mi Shot had already been done, and there was no need to cross paths again.
I believe that with Su Mi's exquisite temperament, he also knows very well what to do next......
Lai Yao took office and rebuilt the Bao army.
Gao Sheji temporarily took Broken Leaf City until the end of the Battle of Geluo Ling.
As for the matter of Jili Yuanying and Mina, Wu Zetian did not have any explanation. However, Yang Shouwen generally understood what Wu Zetian meant: If you want to wait for my approval, then first show your talents and prove that you are qualified for my recognition......
From this point of view, that is to say, Wu Zetian has a tacit attitude towards these two things.
Great, that's the best!
Next, it's up to Jili Yuanying and Mina's skills!
Before Yang Shouwen left, he explained to Lai Yao and asked him to pay attention to the affairs of Jili Yuanying and Mina. For Yang Shouwen's arrangement, Lai Yao also knew a little about it, and expressed his approval. Because, he also felt that the imperial court's control in the area of Wuxuan Lost Bizhong and Mengchi was indeed a little insufficient, and the entry of these two forces could strengthen the influence of the Tang Empire in the western part of Anxi, whether it was for the Broken Leaf River Valley or the entire Anxi, it would be of great benefit.
"Yang Jun, this time to ignore the city, do you want me to send troops to accompany you?"
Yang Shouwen smiled and rejected Laiyao's kindness, and took advantage of the night, he took Yang Cunzhong, Feng Changqing and Gao Lishi, four people and four horses, and two camels to leave Broken Leaf City and go in the direction of the Tianma Governor's Mansion......
"Xiao Gao, what has happened in Luoyang these days?"
Yang Shouwen and Gao Lishi rode in front, while Yang Cunzhong looked after Feng Changqing and followed behind the two.
After leaving Broken Leaf City, Yang Shouwen returned to the dress of a monk.
A white monk's robe is particularly eye-catching in the night, but it is a pity that there is a nine-ring tin staff missing in his hand. Previously, in Broken Leaf City, the horse chopping knife used by Yang Shouwen was not carried, but was given to Geshu Daoyuan as a gift by him.
"These days, Luoyang is quite calm.
After Yang Jun left, His Majesty issued a decree appointing Yang Gong as the deputy guard of the Eastern Capital, and many people in the court expressed opposition, believing that His Majesty's promotion of Yang Gong was too fast. However, His Majesty and the crown prince ignored them, so that Yang Gong was hated by many people. ”
The Yang Gong in Gao Lishi's mouth is Yang Shouwen's father Yang Chenglie.
Yang Shouwen heard that his father had been promoted again, but instead of being happy, he was faintly worried.
Dad was previously Sima of Luozhou, concurrently served as a regimental training envoy, and then temporarily led a thousand horsemen, which has made many people feel dissatisfied. It's good now, the deputy of the Eastern Capital stays behind, although this is just a false position, but it will attract more hatred to Dad.
"And what did my dad say?"
"Yang Gong didn't care, and received His Majesty's will."
"It's too fast, daddy's promotion is too fast...... His roots are basically unstable, and now he is promoted so quickly, which is really not a good thing. ”
Yang Shouwen was secretly worried, but because he was in Anxi, he couldn't help his father, and he could only complain in his heart.
However, with Lu Zhicheng and Zhang Jiuling by my father's side, I believe there won't be too many problems......
"Anything else?"
"Something else?" Gao Lishi thought about it, suddenly looked whole, and said softly: "Before the slave and maid set off, I heard a news. His Majesty and Di Gong had a dispute, and even had a big quarrel. ”
"Di Gong and His Majesty are arguing?"
In Yang Shouwen's memory, Di Renjie is a very forbearant person, and he has never disobeyed Wu Zetian.
I rarely heard that he would quarrel with Wu Zetian, why did he suddenly ......
"Why are you arguing, do you know?"
Colliers said: "Actually...... At first, the king of the prime minister said that the Lushena Buddha was exposed to the wind and sun, and it was a little dilapidated. The king said that His Majesty Weijia Hai should rebuild the Buddha and make the monks and nuns in the world sunrise a penny to help him.
His Majesty was quite moved by this and discussed with Duke Di.
Di Gong believes that this year's floods and droughts have been plagued, and there have been wars at the border from time to time.
Although His Majesty has newly acquired the treasure of Yuanwendu, there are too many places where the court needs money. The construction of the Buddha costs a lot of money, and it costs people and money. If another disaster occurs, it will inevitably be overstretched and detrimental to the country.
For this reason, His Majesty was very unhappy and thought that Di Gong was alarmist.
But Di Gong insisted on his opinion, and even chased him to Shangyang Palace and argued with His Majesty, so that in the end, His Majesty was angered...... However, His Majesty finally agreed with Di Gong's opinion and asked King Xiang to stop all matters related to the construction of the Great Buddha. ”
Wu Zetian wants to build a big Buddha?
It is also difficult for Yang Shouwen to judge whether this matter is right or wrong.
However, he didn't care whether the Buddha was built or not, but paid more attention to Di Renjie's situation.
"Since His Majesty agrees with Di Gong, what does Di Gong say?"
"Di Gong......" Gao Lishi wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "Di Gong's body bones are getting worse and worse, and after a dispute with His Majesty, he is bedridden. Until the slave maid left Luoyang, he did not hear better. ”
Yang Shouwen's heart suddenly sank.
Di Renjie's health is not good, of course he knows.
In fact, as early as the first year of Long Live Tongtian, Sun Wanrong and Li Quanzhong rebelled, Di Renjie put down the rebellion, and after the governor of Youzhou, his body and bones have not been very good. Even in the first year of the holy calendar, when Mo Si sent troops to Hebei Province, Di Renjie also led troops to the battle. After that, Di Renjie's condition fluctuated, and his body bones were obviously getting worse and worse......
Before Yang Shouwen left Luoyang, he had met Di Renjie.
Looking at Di Renjie's complexion at that time, it was not very good.
Di Renjie is now the Dinghai God Needle in the court. If something does happen to him, it will definitely have a huge impact.
The most important thing is that with Di Renjie here, some people don't dare to deal with Daddy blatantly.
But if Di Renjie dies, there will inevitably be turmoil in the court......
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen's heart was a little heavy.
He didn't talk to Colliers again, but rode his horse slowly, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.
Gao Lishi didn't bother anymore, but followed behind Yang Shouwen.
The group crossed the Bashi Mountains at dawn, walked through the snowy mountains, and marched in the direction of Kunon City......
Luoyang, after all, is too far away.
Even if Yang Shouwen is worried, it is difficult to do anything.
Soon, he adjusted his mentality and no longer bothered about Di Renjie's physical condition. The conditions in Luoyang are good, and there are many famous doctors. I believe that Wu Zetian cares more about Di Renjie's health than him, and it should be fine.
Now, Yang Shouwen should find Yan Zhi as soon as possible and complete the task.
After thinking clearly, Yang Shouwen became a lot more cheerful, and the speed of his movement also accelerated.
On the sixth day of the seventh month, nearly ten days after Yang Shouwen left the Broken Leaf River Valley, the group entered the rule of the Tianma Governor's Mansion. (To be continued.) )
