Chapter 741 The Governor of Youzhou

After a moment of silence, Fang Yiai slowly said what he was thinking.

"How can this be? Han Yu is an old minister who is over forty years old, and he has a good reputation in the court, so how could he do something to loot Liaoshan Town? That Liaoshan Town is located in Youzhou, Han Yu is brainless, and will he set up troops to plunder the people under his rule? ”

"Hehe, things in this world are not so simple, just when the army of Liaoshan Station reported to Shangshu Province, Han Yu's excerpt also arrived in the capital, but Han Yu did not mention the matter of Liaoshan Town on the excerpt, how do you explain this?" Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled.

Fang Yiai looked at the old man in a daze, what the hell is going on? If what the old man said is correct, then either the matter in Liaoshan Town is fake, or Han Yu is lying. If it was really Han Yu who was hiding the matter of Liaoshan Town again, then this matter would not be simple.

"Father, do you have any thoughts when you tell your child about this?" Fang Yiai felt that the old man didn't seem to be the kind of person who worked in vain, since he specifically talked to him about this, what arrangements should be made. Sure enough, after listening to Fang Yiai's question, Fang Xuanling nodded and said kindly, "Jun'er, when my father told you this, I just want you to go to Youzhou!" ”

"What? Father, are you kidding, there are so many people in this court, even if you can't line up the children! "Fang Yiai is not afraid to go to Youzhou, the problem is that there are many bigwigs in the court, and there are many in the prime of life, like Li Xiaogong, Li Ji and Hou Junji, these people have enough prestige, and they are not too old, so it is the most suitable to be sent to Youzhou.

Youzhou is not compared to other places, Youzhou is located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the Khitan and the Yan Dynasty, and the southeast is close to Goryeo. What's more, Youzhou still has the largest number of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, only Liaoshanwei plus the Youzhou battalion, there are as many as 60,000 people. These more than 60,000 soldiers can not be inferior to the guards, they guard the border all the year round, and almost every year they have to experience two large and small battle formations. It is precisely because Youzhou is so complicated that Fang Yiai feels that it is impossible for Li Shimin to send him to Youzhou, although he has experienced more than a dozen battles and won the title of the god of battlefield killing, but in terms of prestige, it is far worse than Li Xiaogong and Li Ji.

What Fang Yiai thought, Fang Xuanling could also guess it, he patted Fang Yiai's shoulder, and elaborated in detail, "Jun'er, you may not know that Li Ai, the general of the right battalion in Youzhou, was originally under the command of the right guard, and he also served under the king of Ren Cheng back then. In the current situation that the situation is not very clear, His Majesty does not intend to make the matter too big, whether it is Li Ai's fault or Han Yu's fault, in short, everything will be concluded after the investigation is clear. Therefore, this matter will not be said in the upward direction, in this case, there are not many people for Your Majesty to choose! ”

"This" Fang Yiai was a little silent, if it was really as the old man said, then Li Shimin would definitely send a relative of the emperor to guard Youzhou, if it was not a relative of the emperor, then the reason would not be sufficient, and the officials of Youzhou would not take the new person in their eyes. Think about the people in Chang'an City, what can be used is Li Ke and Li Tai, Li Ke's identity is special, and he is destined not to go to Youzhou, Li Tai has no ability to lead troops, and Li Shimin will not risk letting him go, if there is chaos in Youzhou at that time, and the Khitans take the opportunity to go south, then Li Tai may really be trapped in Youzhou City. In this way, it seems that the one who is most likely to enter Li Shimin's eyes is his unlucky son-in-law.

Why is it said to be unlucky, because the matter in Youzhou is clearly a pool of muddy water, even if Li Xiaogong goes, he may not be able to stir it up, what can he do if he goes to his bereavement? He really doesn't want to mix it, but he can't stop the black-hearted old father-in-law, Li Shimin can't think of his son-in-law when there is a good thing, but when there is trouble, he is definitely the first to think of him.

"Father, is it already decided?" Fang Xuanling took a look at Fang Xuanling, he really hoped that the old man could help mediate, now that several daughters-in-law in the family are five months pregnant, how can he, the male owner, leave home.

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Jun'er, it's not that my father won't help you, but I can only listen to Your Majesty in this matter." Moreover, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you went to Youzhou, haven't you always thought that the capital is not free, why don't you take this opportunity to get more things for yourself, you must know that Youzhou has the most powerful soldiers in my Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, it was written in Fang Xuanling's love, he lowered his head, approached Fang Xuanling, and asked in a low voice, "Father, do you think there is a lot of hope?" ”

"Hehe, Jun'er, it's up to you whether you want to be big or not. In short, if you go to Youzhou, then you can't be in a hurry, checking Liaoshan Town is not your purpose, but the reason for you to start Youzhou's affairs. In short, Han Yu and Li Ai can not die, but Liao Shanwei, you must hold it firmly in your hands. As long as you have Liaoshanwei, you will be worthwhile! ”

Fang Yiai had to admire the old man's vision, there were only more than 20,000 people in Liaoshanwei, and there were more than 40,000 people in the Youzhou camp, but the old man didn't look down on the Youzhou camp, but on Liaoshanwei. Liaoshan Weiding is in the northernmost part of Youzhou, as long as there is a war, it will become the front line of Youzhou, and it is precisely because of the many conflicts that Liaoshan Wei has also become a strong soldier in Youzhou's army. It can be said that 20,000 Liaoshan guards are the most elite people in Youzhou. Moreover, there is another advantage of mastering Liaoshanwei, that is, it is not easy to be controlled by others, Liaoshanwei is very different from Zuo Wuwei, as long as the field is still there, it is impossible for Li Shimin to remove Liaoshanwei.

"In this way, the child is waiting, if His Majesty really sends the child, the child will definitely go all out to take down Liaoshanwei!" Fang Yiai has a strong interest in Liaoshan Wei.

Fang Xuanling nodded, walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, and when he arrived at the door, he turned his head and smiled, "Jun'er, go back and wait, if Your Majesty thinks of you, then there should be movement tonight." By the way, after discussing with your daughter-in-law, she probably has a lot of news about Youzhou Mansion. ”

"Yes, the child knows!" Fang Yiai smiled with his hand. Sure enough, as Fang Xuanling said, just after the unitary hour of the evening, the eunuchs in the palace came to call people.

Originally, I wanted to ask Zheng Liwan about Youzhou, but looking at the eunuch at the door, I could only wait to come back and talk about it.

followed the eunuch into the palace, Fang Yiai came directly to the Ganlu Palace, and when he saw Fang Yiai coming, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to let him sit down, "Jun'er, I've heard your father say about the matter in Youzhou, right?" ”

"Back to his father's words, the son-in-law has already heard about it, and the father told the son-in-law to wait for his father's will. It's just that the son-in-law is a little uncertain, does the father really plan to send the son-in-law? ”

Li Shimin held a brush in his hand, and after listening to Fang Yiai's words, he smiled and nodded, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from Xuan Linggong, as your father said, I plan to let you go to the military and political affairs of Youzhou." ”

"This father, if you let your son-in-law lead the soldiers of Youzhou Mansion, you can, but the commander-in-chief of Youzhou military and politics, isn't it a bit unreasonable? Even if the son-in-law wants to do this, it is not justified! Fang Yiai glanced at Li Shimin with some puzzlement, what was this black-hearted old Yue thinking? For a long time, someone in his room has been a strong general in the army, and it is okay to lead the soldiers of Youzhou Mansion with his position as a major general of Zuo Wuwei, but if you want to manage the political affairs of Youzhou, it is not reliable, you must know that the commander-in-chief of a state military and politics, that only the position of the governor of the capital can be done, and those who can be the governor of the capital, which is not a famous minister of more than forty at the time. Of course, there are some younger ones, but those are some expatriate princes.

Since Li Shimin dared to say this, he had already expected this situation, he picked up a fold on the table, shook his hand and threw it to Fang Yiai, "Stinky boy, don't frown first, take a look at this fold first!" ”

"Huh?" Fang Yiai spread out the fold in his arms, looked at it carefully, and said carefully, this is not an excerpt, but an appointment document. This document is all about the Tang Dynasty version of classical Chinese, Fang Yiai looks very laborious, he looks at the Tang version of classical Chinese, often generally rely on Meng, generally rely on understanding. Fortunately, he can still understand the latter sentence, "Life, Changle and Ma Du Lieutenant Fang are the governor of Youzhou, and he knows all the important military and political affairs of Youzhou." ”

Seeing this sentence, Fang Yiai's head was about to explode, this document can't be fake, can he be a metropolitan governor at the age of twenty? Fang Yiai looked at it over and over, and pressed the seal on it to buckle it vigorously.

Seeing Fang Yiai scratching and pulling with a finger, Li Shimin didn't know what was going on at first, but when he walked over and saw the place where Fang Yiai was pulling, he couldn't help but laugh angrily. After reaching out and giving Fang Yiai the back of his head, Li Shimin opened his mouth and scolded with a smile, "Bastard boy, what are you drawing, this document was written by me myself, and I can't deceive you." There is also this seal, do you think there can be a second one in the world? ”

"This father, isn't the son-in-law happy, you really want the son-in-law to be the governor?" was slapped twice by Li Shimin, and Fang Yiai also returned to reality.

Li Shimin's eyes glared angrily, blew his beard, and hummed with his hands behind his back, "What's the matter, you don't want to be it?" In this way, I will retract my will and throw you to the pig farm, aren't you very interested in that pig farm, and the royal pig breeding base, my old face has been lost by you! ”

"Hey, father, you can't say that, you're embarrassed now, why don't you say it when you ask your son-in-law for dozens of pigs to eat pork during the Chinese New Year?"

"Stinky boy, are you still going against the sky?" Li Shimin's face is a little dark, isn't this revealing the scandal of His Majesty the Emperor? Li Shimin is angry, and the big slap will not be stingy.

After being slapped twice by Li Shimin, Fang Yiai is much more honest, in short, there is no need, don't talk nonsense, just let Li Shimin talk alone.

scolded for a while, and seeing that Fang Yiai didn't even let out a fart, Li Shimin didn't have the heart to scold him anymore. Pointing to a yellow scroll on the bookcase, Li Shimin said a little unhappily, "Go and take the holy decree, and then get out, give you two days, and after arranging the affairs at home, rush to Youzhou as soon as possible." ”

Li Shimin is not an unreasonable person, several women are pregnant, he can't be too ruthless, no, no matter how urgent the affairs in Youzhou are, he has to let his son-in-law stay at home.

Li Shimin issued an eviction order, and Fang Yiai would not be inked, he took the holy decree from the bookcase, and left the Ganlu Hall in a hurry.

Fang Yiai held the appointment letter in his arms, held the holy decree in his hand, and walked in the Taiji Palace, he was strutting, his grandmother was a bear, from today on, he was the governor of Youzhou. In the past, he always envied Li You's position as the governor of the capital, but now he can experience it himself.

Sometimes, this person can't be too proud, no, Fang Yiai is smiling brightly, and there are two more palace maids in front of him. Take a closer look, these two palace maids are still by Concubine Yinde's side.

Fang Yiai's depression, what the hell is this Yin Yufeng going to do? Whether he wanted to or not, he had to go to the Water Pattern Temple.

The birds in the water pattern hall are singing and fragrant, I really didn't expect that Yin Yufeng is still a person who will enjoy it, look at this purple peony, this is a very precious variety. (To be continued.) )
