Chapter 37 Intelligence work must be done well
"Weichen congratulates the emperor." Zhao Pu congratulated lukewarmly. He was not surprised that Li Guanqi was going to get married, after all, the Great Qian Dynasty had not yet passed the age of sixteen and had not yet married the emperor, and Li Guanqi would feel strange if he did not get married again. What he was interested in was what Li Guanqi came to him for today, wouldn't it just be to tell himself about it?
"You're the first to say hello to me." Li Guanqi smiled heartily and said, "I'm very happy." Hey, don't go yet. The next sentence he said was said by the little eunuch who was slowly withdrawing.
"What else does the emperor command?" The little eunuch stopped and asked.
Li Guanqi looked the little eunuch up and down, and saw that he looked like he was only about fifteen or sixteen years old at most, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his skin was white and red.
"What's your name?" Li Guanqi asked.
"Qin Huaiyu." The little eunuch spoke very concisely.
Li Guanqi nodded slightly and said, "You go to the door to guard, no one is allowed to approach Tiren Pavilion without my permission." ”
"Yes." Qin Huaiyu bowed and replied.
Li Guanqi said to Zhao Pu again: "You must have a wife, whose daughter are you marrying?" ”
Zhao Pu bowed down and said: "The minister is from a humble background, and the clumsy Jing is naturally not a young lady, respecting the order of his parents, and the marriage is the private school teacher in the minister's hometown, and he is barely a well-known person, right?" ”
"The right door." Li Guanqi chewed this sentence again and said, "Yes, you still have to pay attention to the right person." Even my relatives can't escape this rule. Are you in a good relationship? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Pu was caught off guard and almost lost his honor in front of the king, okay, the emperor asked him if the relationship between his husband and wife was good, and no one believed it.
"There are no outsiders here, I just want to talk to you about family life." Li Guanqi smiled and said, which can be regarded as an encouragement to Zhao Pu.
"Feelings are cultivated slowly." Zhao Pu's face was still a little red when he said this, "The minister already has a second child." After a pause, he said, "No emperor will have only one wife......
"I know what you mean." Li Guanqi interrupted Zhao Pu's words with a wry smile, "The queen chosen by the Queen Mother for me is He Zhuguo's daughter, and I have never even seen it. But this marriage still has to be concluded, because the emperor's marriage is more important to consider politically, and if I want to sit firmly on this dragon chair under my buttocks, I really have to borrow the power of He Zhuguo at present. ”
Zhao Pu couldn't understand the bitterness in Li Guanqi's heart, for the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, they didn't know what free love was, and how could they talk about the beauty of mutual love? He was only happy at this time, because from Li Guanqi's words, he already knew that the emperor was going to marry the daughter of the Taiwei, and it was obvious that the emperor had understood the importance of this marriage.
Therefore, the smart Zhao Pu naturally immediately understood that the topic of marriage was over here, so he said: "The emperor summoned Weichen here today, there must be other things to ask." Although the time spent together is not very long, he has gradually found that Li Guanqi does not like others to pay too much attention to etiquette, so he does not have so many scruples between his words.
Sure enough, Li Guanqi nodded and said, "I called you here today, mainly to learn some things from you, a know-it-all know-it-all, and there is another important thing to arrange for you." ”
Zhao Pu was also busy and said, "Please ask the emperor to order." ”
"You tell me about the origin of King Rui first." Li Guanqi can see from the Queen Mother's words that she attaches great importance to King Rui, since the Queen Mother attaches great importance to the people, she should pay more attention to it.
"Back to the emperor, this old prince is really not small." Zhao Pu said: "He is the younger brother of Emperor Wuzong, and he has been leading troops since he was fourteen years old.
At the age of eighteen, the Turkic Shatuo Khan gathered his own troops and horses and four other Khan's soldiers and horses totaling 400,000 to break into the Great Wall.
Later, Emperor Wuzong had no choice but to order the then eighteen-year-old King Rui as the generalissimo of the marching army, and led the army to separate ways to counterattack the Turks. Prince Rui led his troops out of Longyou Road and met Shatuo's army in Liangzhou. Chengshatuo repeatedly defeated the enemy, attacked the Turkic camp at night with 5,000 fine cavalry, broke the Turkic army, captured more than 1,000 people, Shatuo Khan was also seriously injured, and relied on his subordinates to fight to the death to escape back to the desert.
Eight years later, Shatuo Khan was not convinced, once again invaded the border of our dynasty, the twenty-six-year-old Rui Wang took command again, the commander of the infantry cavalry 300,000 ambush to surround the main Turkic force, a battle beheaded more than 30,000 people, Shatuo Khan again fled back to the desert in embarrassment, since then he did not dare to commit the Great Qianchao again in his life.
These are the only two victories of the Great Qian Dynasty against the Turks, and King Rui is also famous all over the world for these two battles, and has mastered the world's soldiers and horses for more than 20 years, until Emperor Wuzong died, and only took the initiative to hand over the military power in order to relieve suspicion. Although he has not done anything for decades, two-thirds of the senior generals of the Great Qian Dynasty are his old subordinates. ”
Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Li Guanqi couldn't help but gasp, good guy, such a powerful person was actually offended by himself today, it seems that this intelligence work really needs to be done well.
Li Guanqi stared at Zhao Pu with interest, and suddenly smiled: "I really feel strange sometimes, where did you get all this news?" ”
Zhao Pu's heart was excited, and he hurriedly said: "The minister didn't deliberately collect it, but he usually listened to what others said, and he just remembered it naturally." ”
Li Guanqi nodded at Zhao Pu with his hand, shook his head and said, "You are not honest, I don't believe it." Seeing that Zhao Pu was about to confess again, he waved his hand and continued: "You don't have to be nervous, I don't really want to know your intelligence source, what I care about is that you have the talent to do intelligence work." That's the main reason I called you here today. ”
Although Zhao Pu still doesn't know what Li Guanqi wants to do, one thing is certain, that is, the emperor must have something very important to let him do, and this matter is a good thing that can make his career bright in the future, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "The minister is a small official, and the emperor will not abandon it, and he will be promoted. If the emperor thinks that the minister still has something to use, the minister will bow down and die. ”
Li Guanqi actually doesn't like these meaty words very much, but it's not good to discourage people's enthusiasm, not to mention that from Zhao Pu's tone and expression, he is indeed sincerely loyal. So he also smiled and said, "I know your loyalty, and I know your ability." Therefore, I now want to hand over to you a major matter that is related to the future generations of my great Qian, and I hope you can do it well. ”
"The minister must do it well." Zhao Pu looked very eager.
