Chapter 441: The Carriage Turmoil

readx; Before dawn, the rumbling drums resounded throughout Chang'an City, the streets and alleys that were originally silent and uninhabited suddenly became lively, lanterns were like the bright moon in the night, floating in the streets of Chang'an, and horses and horses were hurried in the night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Today will be the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the throne, all officials in Beijing from the ninth rank or above, all to the Daming Palace to meet.

Li Qing'an was from the military camp outside the city to the Daming Palace, he sat in a wide carriage, had been tidied up, wearing a three-beam Jinxian crown, wearing a unicorn purple robe, and a jade belt around his waist, he would participate in the court meeting as the right minister of the Zhongshu Order, but just in case, he still wore fine armor inside, this kind of fine armor is the best armor maker in Anxi with Damascus iron, fine and dense, up to two layers thick, weighing fifteen catties, can resist a hand crossbow within ten steps and a strong crossbow forty steps away, and the general sword is difficult to cut.

Yesterday he talked with Wei Qingping for a long time, and Wei Qingping persuaded him to follow Qin Zhidao to build the Tang Straight Road connecting Anxi and the Central Plains, and strengthen the connection between the Central Plains and Anxi.

Generally speaking, the cavalry of the Tang family takes a month from Beiting to Chang'an at the earliest, to a large extent, the road is inconvenient, and it is tortuous, and the long distance can not gallop longitudinally, if the straight and wide Tang Straight Road is built, it will only take half a month at most from Beiting to Chang'an, if the horse changing station is built, and the Arabian horse or Dawan horse is configured, then the messenger may only take ten days from Beiting to Guanzhong.

In addition, according to the agreement reached between him and Li Heng, 300,000 households of immigrants from Longyou, Guannei Province and Henan Province will be relocated to Anxi, especially when there is a drought in Henan Province this year, and the hungry people are everywhere, so they can be relieved of work and ordered them to build roads from the east.

Li Qing'an opened a warehouse book on the small table, which is the result of Li Yuqing's two-month investigation of the sect, there are 10 million stones of rice and wheat stored in Taicang in various parts of Guanzhong, and there are 6 million pieces of money in the left collection, as well as a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, so that Li Qing'an has to sigh Li Yu's determination to dispose of the land, although Li Yu died, but they have enough resources for these descendants, with this money and grain, it should not be a problem to build the Tang Straight Road.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, Li Qingan looked through the window of the car, he had already arrived at the Mingde Gate, there seemed to be a team on the opposite side, and a personal soldier said in a low voice: "General, it's Ge Shuhan." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ge Shuhan's laughter came from the other side, "But General Li? ”

Li Qingan opened the curtain, only to see that there was also a carriage opposite, and it was Ge Shuhan in the carriage, who had not seen him for more than two years, Ge Shuhan was obviously a little old, and his spirit was not very good.

Li Qingan arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Geshu, don't come to harm, right?" ”

Ge Shuhan rushed back overnight last night, he was really in a bad mood in the past two days, he was expecting Li Heng to ascend the throne, and he would be envoy to the Guannei Dao Festival, which was also a promise given to him by Li Heng, but he didn't expect that the final outcome was that Li Qing'an occupied the Guannei Dao.

Li Heng's promise to him also became that Hanzhong would be given to him, and he could not be given any title, which made Ge Shuhan very unhappy, especially yesterday morning when Li Qingan killed Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi on the street, Li Heng did not react, not only that, but also transferred the military power of Guanzhong to Wang Sili in time, which shows that this is a collusion between Li Heng and Li Qingan.

In fact, Ge Shuhan misunderstood Li Heng to some extent, the reason why Li Heng betrayed Meng Yun was because of Meng Yun's habitual betrayal, he betrayed Li Yu today, then he will betray him tomorrow Li Heng, Li Heng also borrowed Li Qing'an's hand to get rid of this trouble.

But Ge Shuhan doesn't see it that way, in his eyes, Li Heng betrayed his generals for his own selfish interests, he can betray Meng Yun today, so will he betray himself tomorrow, Ge Shuhan's heart is cold, he sees through Li Heng as a person.

Ge Shuhan smiled at Li Qing'an and said, "General Li, I have a few words I want to say to the general, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Li Qingan smiled heartily, "Brother Geshu might as well come to my carriage, and we will go to Daming Palace together." ”

"Okay, I'll be respectful and obey."

Ge Shuhan moved into Li Qing'an's carriage, and the two armies joined forces and marched towards Daming Palace together.

Ge Shuhan looked at the carriage and said with a smile: "This seems to be the one I gave to the general at the beginning!" ”

"Exactly! This carriage is very good, I like it very much, thank you Brother Shu. ”

"It's a trivial matter, so you don't have to be polite."

Ge Shuhan waved his hand and smiled: "It's just that there are no women in the carriage, and there is a lot less fun, if the general doesn't bring women, then how about I send you a few?" Guaranteed to make you like it. ”

"I understand Brother Shu's kindness, I have a concubine to follow, and I will come in two days, there are too many women, and I have a headache when I look at it."

Ge Shuhan laughed, "Then the general will lose a lot of human fun, I don't envy you." ”

Li Qingan also smiled: "My fun, Brother Shu probably won't like it." ”

The two chatted for a few words, and Ge Shuhan's topic slowly entered the right path, "Is the general still paying attention to Tubo?" ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said: "I really don't hide it from Brother Shu, in the past few years, my energy has mainly been fighting against Da Shi, and I don't know much about Tubo, and they seem to have been silent for a long time. ”

"The general doesn't know about Tubo, but I know very well, there is only one explanation for the silence of the Tubo people, they are accumulating strength, as early as a few years ago, Trisong Dezan began to govern, although this person is young, but he knows how to make good use of people, he uses Shangxi Dongzan as a big theory, in charge of government affairs, and Feng Dazha Lugong as a general, in charge of the army, in Tubo to carry out comprehensive reforms, strong soldiers, these years have begun to recover again, I estimate that in another year or two, the Tubo people will want to be in the Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Ge Shuhan sighed and said: "But the right army of the Tang Dynasty is not fully armoured, the grain and grass are not continued, and the morale is low. ”

Li Qing'an heard what Ge Shuhan meant, and it was nothing more than asking the imperial court to allocate money and rice to him to support weapons and supplies, so he smiled faintly: "Ge Shu's request, I have already understood, but the defense of Tubo is not only a matter of the Longyou family, including Anxi Jiannan, it must be considered together, I will raise this issue at the meeting of the political hall to find a safe package." ”

Li Qingan's attitude was lukewarm, which made Ge Shuhan touch a soft nail, and Ge Shuhan sneered: "Then please general." ”

Li Qingan smiled, changed the topic again, and talked with Ge Shuhan about the experience of dealing with the Tubo army, which was also a topic that Ge Shuhan was interested in.

Unconsciously, the two of them came to the front of the Danfeng Gate of the Daming Palace, which was crowded with ministers who were ready to enter the palace, the sky was not yet bright, the ministers all left the carriage one after another, ready to enter the palace in turn, Wang Heng came a little later, and Wei Jiansu was talking about today's ceremony, Wei Jiansu was dismissed from the Ministry of Industry more than a month ago because of Yang Guozhong's case, but soon he was appointed by Li Yu as the squire of the Ministry of War, this is Li Yu's indecision, and there is always a lack of a thorough surname in doing things.

The two were talking, the door in front was already vacant, they could enter the palace, Wei Jiansu suddenly turned Wang Heng with his arm, and glanced back, Wang Heng looked back, just in time to see Li Qing'an and Ge Shuhan getting down from a carriage, the two talked and laughed and looked intimate, Wang Heng couldn't help but be a little stunned, at today's moment when the camp is distinct, when did Ge Shuhan and Li Qing'an get together, what does he mean?

Wang Heng sneered, directly into the Danfeng Gate, the square inside the Danfeng Gate has gathered thousands of officials, today is the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, all in Chang'an from the ninth grade and above officials to participate, including foreign officials in Beijing and non-official officials with the title of loose officials, and some retired officials, in other words, as long as the civil officials who take the imperial court Lumi basically have to participate, there are tens of thousands of people.

Danfeng Square covers a vast area, even if another 10,000 people come, it seems to be empty and open, thousands of officials are gathering in groups to chat, generally speaking, the core area station close to Longwei Road is basically a high-powered minister, and the junior officials below the fifth rank will consciously stand aside.

In front of Longwei Road, Li Hengzheng and several important ministers talked about today's ceremony, today's ceremony will be fully responsible for the Ministry of Rites, but the time is in a hurry, many ceremonies have been forced to be exempted, the crown prince Li Shi accepted the courtiers after bowing, canonized the officials of the political hall, and then will go to the temple to pray to the ancestors, which is considered to have completed the enthronement ceremony.

Since Li Shi was a young emperor, although the ceremony was somewhat lacking, the ministers did not care very much, what they cared about was the distribution of power that would be formed after this accession to the throne.

At this time, Wang Heng walked quickly, everyone saluted him together, Wang Heng smiled, and returned the salute to everyone, he gave Li Heng a look, Li Heng understood, so he walked a few steps with Wang Heng, avoided everyone, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"I just found out that Ge Shuhan and Li Qingan were riding in a carriage, and when the two got off the car, they looked very close and had an extraordinary relationship."

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Li Heng's eyes, and he frowned and said, "Maybe they just met on the road, chatted about something, and shared a car." ”

"I think so too, but Ge Shuhan knows that today is the ceremony, but he shares a car with Li Qing'an, regardless of the impact, regardless of the sideways eyes of hundreds of officials, this will cause misunderstanding and cause a lot of passivity to the regent, I think the regent needs to remind Ge Shuhan."

Li Heng is a suspicious person, although he doesn't care about Ge Shuhan and Li Qing'an sharing a carriage, but he is extremely unhappy in his heart, what does Ge Shuhan mean at this time?

He suddenly remembered the condition proposed by Ge Shuhan, to serve as the envoy of the Guannei Daojie and to be in charge of Longyou, just because he couldn't do it himself, so he went to curry favor with Li Qing'an, is that so?

Thinking of this, Li Heng snorted heavily, needless to say, it must be like this.

At this time, the bell in front of Hanyuan Hall rang, this is the bell that the ceremony is about to begin, and the officials on Danfengmen Square have walked towards their positions.
