Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Golden Knife Chaos
In the eyes of the family, the general of his own family is completely the benevolence of a woman. Since he couldn't give up Gao Qianqian, it was enough to directly implement the second plan, and he was guilty of such a blatant swagger into the city, deliberately angering Yang Guozhong. The Yang family is now powerful in Chang'an, and there is a faint tendency to replace Li Xiang, and it is too unwise to offend the Yang family on the surface.
However, he thought so in his heart, and he carried out the general's orders to the letter. He has already associated the wealth and glory of his life with the general, and as a staff member, he naturally has to strictly abide by the duties of the staff member.
The ministers of Chang'an City will never do business in person, and even if they do business, they do it secretly. It is the first time I have seen a swaggering business man like Ma Lan, and this is also a small means to provoke the Yang family.
There were more and more crowds of onlookers, and the camel caravan and carriage walked in the city for a long time before they entered Yankangfang.
Before arriving at the old house of the Ma family, I saw that the courtyard walls were all renovated, and a huge plaque of "Junhou Mansion" was hung on the lintel, and several guards stood at the door who were all brightly dressed. Seeing the caravan coming, the guard at the head covered his nose, looked disgusted, and said, "Get out of here!" This is the mansion of the Marquis of Fufeng, don't you dog minions have eyes? ”
Du Huan jumped off the camel's back with a smile, stepped forward and said, "You are sent by the Yang Mansion." I am Du Huan, the son of Lantian County, and I am a subordinate of General Fufeng Hou Ma Lan. This time, on the orders of General Ma Lan, he brought the general's wife Ru to Beijing for settlement. I'll take over here, so you all go back to Duke Yang's mansion. ”
After speaking, Du Huan took out his seal letter and let these people read it.
The edict to reward Ma Lan had already been announced to the world, and these people naturally heard Du Huan's name, so they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Du Huan didn't talk to them, and directly ordered the men and guards of the camel team to carefully unload the Chengxintang paper on the camel's back, and transport all of them into the mansion, and even the camels were driven into the mansion together. The little beauties in the carriage didn't wait for Du Huan to greet them, they had already jumped out of the carriage one by one, cheering and walking quickly into the mansion.
The guards at the door were all dumbfounded, looking at this group of good-looking Huren women and didn't know what to say. A group of little beauties entered the spacious mansion, looking at the elegant pavilions and pavilions, and various accents sounded in the mansion.
"Everyone, please go back, please go back." Du Huan smiled and directly closed the door.
"These ...... Are they all Mrs. Ru of our family? One of the guards glanced back, a strange look on his face.
The leader of the guard nodded, his face turning extremely ugly.
"That's a little too much. Big brother, what should we do now? Another guard asked.
"What to do? Go back and tell the master. People have kicked us out, what else can we do? The leader of the guards said.
As he spoke, a small figure emerged from the side door, and the leader of the guard couldn't help but be startled when he saw it.
"Humph! Ma Renjie! You're mad at me! A crisp voice rang out, and the figure flickered like a light smoke, and quickly disappeared against the wall.
The guards looked at each other, their faces became even more ugly, and they followed quickly without saying a word.
……
Duhuan, the son of Lantian County, returned with a brocade of clothes, and he had already come to the door to say goodbye. Hou's Mansion is not a place to entertain guests, so Du Huan took everyone away from Yankangfang and went to Pingkangfang to spend all day drinking.
This time, he plundered in the river, and most of Ma Lan's income was put into a separate treasury, but all of his Du Huan's income was kept by himself. Now he is not only a son of Lantian County, but also a big high-roller with a net worth of tens of thousands of dollars, even in Pingkangfang, the first-class gold cave in Chang'an City, he can spend a lot of money unambiguously.
When literati meet, poetry inevitably harmonizes. After everyone made many poems, they listened to Du Huan tell the story of the river. Du Huan spoke very wonderfully, and the literati also listened very attentively, and I believe that after today, there will be more heroic deeds of General Ma Lan.
In the end, Du Huan also inquired about the current situation of Chang'an from his old friends, and knew that Li Linfu finally resigned from the part-time position of Shuofang Jiedu Envoy, and the successor of Shuofang Jiedu Envoy was An Sishun recommended by Li Linfu. This is completely consistent with General Ma Xuan's prediction before leaving, and the family has a little more admiration for his general.
Full of wine and food, the scribes each hugged the beauty in their arms, and went to be merry and happy. After Du Huan met the money, he left the banquet place and went to the mansion of Shangshu Zuo Servant and Li Linfu, the Duke of Jin.
It's not for him, now Li Linfu is also the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, speaking of which, Ma Ling and he are still Li Linfu's subordinates, since they have returned to Beijing, it is the proper etiquette to come to meet Li Linfu.
Li Linfu's mansion is in this Pingkangfang, and everyone in Chang'an knows it. When Du Huan arrived, Li Linfu was still in the middle of the court and had not returned, and the person in charge ordered Du Huan to wait in the flower hall. It wasn't until twilight approached that Du Huan met the first minister of the dynasty.
Seeing Li Linfu's pale face and tired expression, Du Huan remembered what Ma Ling had said before leaving that Li Linfu would not survive this year, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Du Huan met this minister with the courtesy of his subordinates, Li Linfu smiled all over his face, and said very amiably: "The county has worked hard from afar, I don't know how Fufeng Hou is good recently?" ”
Facing this powerful minister, who is known as the meat waist knife, Du Huan was also respectful, and said respectfully: "Master Hou is in good health, thank you Li Xiang for your concern." When the Hou Ye was in Anxi, he often thought of Li Xiang. Hou Ye said that he could be named Hou this time, it must be Li Xiang's meaning, and every time he talked about this, Hou Ye was extremely grateful. ”
Li Linfu burst out laughing. There was no prime minister during the Tianbao period, he had the power but no position, Du Huan shouted one by one, and he also felt that his body and mind were ironed.
"Fufeng Hou is worthy of being a person who is both civil and military, and he is really smart. In fact, according to the old man's meaning, Fufeng Hou should have been Fufeng Gongcai. Helplessly, the Yang clan blocked it, it's really hateful! This matter is known to everyone in Chang'an City. Although the county is new to Chang'an, you should have heard of it! ”
Du Huan nodded and didn't say much. At this time, where did he dare to interject.
"The Yang clan is becoming more and more arrogant, and no one in the court is gradually able to control it. Fufeng Hou is both civil and military, the pillar of the country, don't forget the way of the ministers, watch the Yang family do whatever he wants, otherwise, my Tang Dynasty is in danger! Li Linfu's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face.
When Du Huan heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "There is Li Xiang in the court, who dares to do whatever he wants." ”
Li Linfu smiled and said desolately: "The old man has been in his body for many years, and he is not long in life. Whether you can survive this year or not, I'm afraid it's hard to say. The old man has been working for many years, and he has offended many people for national affairs, and when the old man dies, the heir is afraid that he will be a slave and will not be able to get it! It's nothing, it's only Yang Shi'er. ”
"My Li family has been in the country for more than 100 years on behalf of the Yang family, and I am extremely jealous of the Yang family. The old man died soon after, and the most regrettable person was that he failed to stop Concubine Yang from entering the palace in the first place! If the Tang Dynasty finally died at the hands of the Yang family, what face would the old man have to see the ancestors of the Li family! ”
Du Huan was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.
It is a taboo for people to talk about it in a shallow way, and the minister in front of him is the minister who has held the power of the Tang Dynasty for decades, how can he not understand this truth. Before he knew it, he was sweating like pulp, and his back was completely wet with sweat.
Seeing that Du Huan was nervous, Li Linfu smiled and said, "I know about the county's swaggering into the city today. Fufeng Hou was reluctant to cling to Yang's thoughts, and the old man already knew it. If the county dares to do this, he must be the confidant of Fufeng Hou, so the old man is so heartfelt. The old man's words were not for the county, but for Fufenghou. ”
Du Huan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said respectfully: "Li Xiang's words, after I return to Anxi, I will definitely transfer it to my general word for word." ”
Li Linfu bowed slightly, leaned back on the chair a little tiredly, and said in a low voice: "Right now, I am as strong as the Tang Dynasty, which has not been seen in thousands of years. The one who can mess with my Datang is not Zhuhu, only I Datang himself. If the Tang Dynasty is not chaotic, in less than twenty or thirty years, Zhuhu will be pacified one by one, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be unprecedentedly large. It's a pity that the Yang family is sitting big now, the world is in danger, and the old man is powerless, so he can only sigh in vain! ”
Du Huan pondered for a long time and said softly: "What does Li Xiang mean, could it be that the Yang family wants to rebel?" ”
Li Linfu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he nodded: "When the old man is here, the Yang family still doesn't dare to move. If the old man is dead, the Yang family will rebel! There is a golden knife in the book of prophecy that the Tang Dynasty said, it should be on Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao begged the Son of Heaven to change his name, and the Son of Heaven changed his name to Guozhong! Hehe, the Sui Dynasty, Zhou, there is a nursery rhyme of 'poplar tree head golden rooster song, only uncle has no nephew', Tang Dynasty Sui, there is a nursery rhyme of peach and plum, and now there is a golden knife chaotic Tang proverb, if the Son of Heaven does not kill Yang Zhao, it will eventually make a big mistake! After the death of the old man, no one in the court can control the Yang family, and those who can control the Yang family can only rely on the border army to be loyal! ”
"If that's the case, what should my general do?" Du Huan asked.
"After the old man dies, if the Yang family dares to make a move, Fufeng Hou can raise troops to clear the king's side! Even if there is no change, we must try to deal with An Datang! I know that Fufeng Hou is a pure and honest minister, and now he has a heavy army, which is enough to take on this great task! Killing the Yang family, the merit is enough to go to the Lingyan Pavilion, leave a name in history, and the king is also at your fingertips, how can it be compared to the position of a mere county marquis! ”
Du Huan only felt that the soles of his feet were cold and wet, and at this moment he already regretted why he came to Chang'an. He would rather not come to Chang'an City, nor did he see Li Linfu.
"The county doesn't have to worry, the old man has already arranged this matter. In addition to Fufeng Hou, the old man also arranged a confidant loyal minister, who is also a famous general of the border army. He has promised the old man that if the Yang family has any changes, he will immediately raise a border army to get rid of it! ”
Du Huan was shocked in his heart, and said in a low voice: "When I go back to Anxi, I will tell General Jia these words." ”
Li Linfu nodded, closed his eyes and said, "I hope the old man is not wrong, whether Datang can avoid the disaster of the Golden Sword and Tang Dynasty depends on him." Fufeng Hou has any difficulties, just tell the old man. The old man can still call the shots now, and he will definitely help if he can help. ”
