Chapter 751: Going to the Uighurs
readx;
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, turned his head and didn't give Chen Shizhong any hint of a look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info After all, he is about to leave, and Zhao Shu is the person who will be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, if Chen Shizhong and the others can be tied to Zhao Shu, it is not a bad thing, let them decide for themselves.
Su Xiaoyou suddenly said softly, "Lord Chen, are you really ready to leave?" ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Hui Niangniang, Weichen thinks that everything that needs to be done has been done, and I will go to the Uighurs immediately to assist General Di Qing to win this battle, and then I will go to Qiongzhou." ”
Su Xiaoyou said with a smile: "My lord, this should be regarded as a rapid retreat after becoming famous, I should have congratulated the adult on being talented, but I was somewhat worried about this heart. ”
"Xie Niangniang loves, Xia Guan really hasn't helped Niang Niang do anything over the years, Xia Guan also believes that as long as Niang Niang can take care of the emperor wholeheartedly, there is absolutely no problem with keeping wealth and dignity."
Su Xiaoyou looked at him with his eyes: "Lord Chen, can you do the mourning family another favor?" ”
Chen Yuan didn't know what Su Xiaoyou had to do by himself at this time, he didn't dare, and he didn't want to agree casually, his expression showed a trace of hesitation, that hesitation was for Su Xiaoyou to see, and it could be regarded as a very tactful refusal by Chen Yuan.
But Su Xiaoyou continued: "This can be regarded as a happy event, the prince is now fifteen years old, and the position of this East Palace is still vacant, I think Master Wen Yanbo's daughter is good, knowledgeable, and handsome, but there is a matchmaker in the middle, I don't know if Lord Chen is willing to be this red medium?" ”
Be a matchmaker? Chen Yuan really hasn't done this errand. He soon realized that Zhao Shu made himself a matchmaker, which was obviously a very good move. First of all, it can show his closeness to Chen Shimei, which is more convenient for him to win over the forces left by Chen Yuan.
and Zhao Shu chose Wen Yanbo's daughter, and Wen Yanbo is now a very powerful figure in the rising generation of the Great Song Dynasty.
Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, it seems that he can help with this matter, and it is not a big deal: "Okay, Niangniang, please rest assured, when I am busy for the past few days, I will immediately go to Master Wen Yanbo and say it, but Weichen is stupid, and the matter will not be successful, so I dare not promise Niangniang." ”
Su Xiaoyou smiled, Chen Yuan's mouth was not stupid, and even if he really wouldn't say anything, Wen Yanbo wouldn't refuse.
While he was talking, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside, thinking that Xu Jilai was coming to pick up someone, Su Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Lord Chen, you go and get busy, you don't need to greet us." ”
said that there was no need to say hello, but she came on behalf of Renzong, where would Chen Yuan snub her? called Zhao Yi and others at the moment, took Su Xiaoyou into the house, and went to prepare to send Chen Chunmei out in the end.
According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, when sending a daughter to get married, the mother's family has to cry, Chen Yuan has already said in advance, this is a happy event, and everyone is not allowed to cry. But when Chen Chunmei's head was covered, Qin Xianglian still left tears, and the other women didn't take Chen Yuan's orders seriously, and cried one by one.
In this cry, Xu Ji set off the second firecracker, Brother Chen Dong went out with his sister on his back, Xiao Chen Xin in the back carried a night pot, and a group of women wiped their tears and followed behind, Chen Yuan no longer cared about these women, let them cry if they wanted to cry, he greeted the guests next to him with a smile on his face.
It turns out that the woman's sadness comes and goes quickly, and when Chen Chunmei was carried onto the sedan chair, the women wiped their tears, and the smile came out immediately.
Chen Yuan drank a lot of wine that day, and he didn't know how the banquet ended in the end. When he woke up again, the feeling of a splitting headache made Chen Yuan very uncomfortable. As soon as he got up with his head in his hand, Huyan Ruizhu's voice sounded behind him: "Awake? ”
She hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and after Chen Yuan sat down, she said, "Isn't it very uncomfortable?" I'll get you a bowl of decanting soup. ”
Chen Yuan nodded weakly: "How long have I been asleep?" ”
Huyan Ruizhu smiled at him: "It didn't take long, seven or eight hours, just now Linghua was watching you here, I asked her to rest." What do you think? Do you want her to give you the next bowl of noodles? ”
The noodles under the rhombic flowers are really delicious, and Chen Yuan seems to have not eaten enough in his life. But he had no appetite now, and the feeling of wanting to vomit after drinking made his stomach very uncomfortable, and he retched a few times but couldn't vomit anything.
Huyan Ruizhu saw Chen Yuan's appearance, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over: "Let's drink some water to press it first, you almost vomited out the bitter gall yesterday, where is there anything in your stomach?" ”
A cup of hot tea was a lot more comfortable, and Huyan Ruizhu also brought the soup from the kitchen: "Can't you drink less in the future?" As if you were young, everyone drank with you, and you had a cup to the bottom, if it wasn't for Pang Xi helping you, you would have been lying under the table at that time. ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, he was not such a straightforward person when he drank, thinking that he drank too much later: "Is it so embarrassing?" ”
Huyan Ruizhu slapped him lightly: "We are very worried about your appearance, really, such a big person, and I don't know how to take care of myself." ”
There was some resentment in the words, and there was a deep concern hidden behind the resentment, which made Chen Yuan unmoved. He gently hugged Huyan Ruizhu in his arms and kissed him.
Huyan Ruizhu's face was ashamed and angry: "What are you doing!" The old husband and wife, you still come to this set! ”
Chen Yuan said with a shy face: "It's the old husband and wife, can't I kiss it?" ”
Huyan Ruizhu didn't struggle, she sat obediently, letting Chen Yuan's hands hold her, Chen Yuan sighed: "Hey, I've been too busy these years, and I've been away from home for most of the year, and I've neglected all the ladies." When this time things are done, we will go to Qiongzhou and accompany you well for our husband. ”
Huyan Ruizhu looked at Chen Yuan: "Xianggong, are you really ready to leave?" ”
Why is everyone asking themselves this question? Could it be that leaving by oneself is something that no one believes in?
Chen Yuan looked at Huyan Ruizhu's eyes full of curiosity and nodded: "Well, I'm really ready to go." When the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce have a beginning, I will go to the Uighurs, and then you will go to Qiongzhou first, and I will go there immediately. ”
Some things are very difficult to explain, and Chen Yuan doesn't want to say more, when he goes to Qiongzhou, those who still have doubts should be relieved, right? At that time, his reputation in the Great Song Dynasty should be perfect, and those unsightly methods in the past will inevitably be said to be informal, and Chen Shimei is likely to become a famous minister who assisted Song Renzong, the emperor of the ages.
If his reputation is good, others will treat him as a good person in the future, and those little girls will be much less wary of themselves, and it will be convenient for them to pick up girls.
That is, after Chen Chunmei returned to the door, the most important part of the first stage of the election of the president of the Chamber of Commerce was carried out, Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji expounded their concepts in front of all the businessmen, made a prudent commitment to those businessmen, and planned the goals to be completed during their tenure.
The president of the chamber of commerce has a high salary to get, and being the president of the chamber can also accumulate contacts for himself, which can ensure that the future business will be more smooth.
But that promise is not made casually, whether they can fulfill what they say is related to how much they will be paid in the future, and if they can't keep their promise, then it will leave a reputation for big words in the entire business world.
Moreover, these businessmen are all interested in interests, and it is impossible for them to believe if they say it is too outrageous.
Therefore, Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji both tried to lay out their plans more realistically. Based on what they say, the businessmen judge which person is more favorable to them when they come to power, and then vote for whom.
Chen Yuan also went to listen to their report, but in terms of the pen, Chen Shizhong was obviously much inferior, and his intentions were obvious in some things, but the elaboration was not as clear as Xu Ji, which caused Chen Shizhong to fall into the disadvantage in this most important round. As for who can get the most votes between the two sides in the end, Chen Yuan doesn't want to ask.
After being a moon elder for Zhao Shu once, Chen Yuan left.
He must also go, Di Qing's army had been drawn two months ago, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty's offensive against the Black Khan Empire was about to begin, Chen Yuan had to go to the Uighurs to ensure the safety of the Song army's back routes, ensure that all strategic materials were transported smoothly, and prevent the Song army from suffering the fate of the Tang Dynasty army.
In February of the fifth year of Huangyou, just after the beginning of spring, Chen Yuan embarked on the road to the Uighurs. At the same time, Di Qing launched an attack on the Black Khan Empire.
Without declaring war, or even having an excuse, the coalition led by the Song Dynasty pounced on the Uighurs, and the Black Khan Empire itself was not very strong, it was composed of many small countries, and before the forces could be concentrated, they were killed one by one.
Moreover, the Black Khan Empire has known the power of the Song Dynasty over the years, and they do not have much national consciousness, for them, there is no difference between surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty and surrendering to Arabia. Coupled with the fact that the Arabs had not yet reacted, and the troops they had accumulated on the western and southern fronts could not be transferred back to help the Black Khan fight, the speed at which the Song army marched was quite fast.
In addition to appeasing the Black Khan tribes who were willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty like in the past, Di Qing also resorted to bloody killings for those who resisted stubbornly, and by the time Chen Yuan came to the Uighurs in April of the fifth year of Huangyou, the situation in the Western Regions had begun to tilt towards the side of the Song Dynasty.
The Uighurs did quite well in the war, not only did they not hinder the transportation of strategic goods, but in addition to those who participated in the war, the Uighurs also organized a 200,000-strong army of men to support the battlefield. Although the number was smaller, it showed that the Uighurs had done their best.
The Black Khan Empire was close to the Uighurs, and it was always a threat to them if they were not defeated. With the defeat of the Black Khan, the territory of the Uighurs will inevitably expand somewhat.
In May of the fifth year of Huangyou, under the support of the Great Song Dynasty, the Bahana tribe, which was once subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, announced its independence from the Black Khan Empire under the support of the Song army and rejoined the arms of the Great Song Dynasty. It was only by this time that the armies of the Arabs rushed over. They quickly gathered the defeated Black Khanate troops, with the Seljuk Turks as the main force, and sent troops to attack the state of Bakhana.
Chen Yuan rushed to the Uighurs on the eve of the Great War, believing that the time was just right, the real opponent had just appeared, so to speak, the war had only begun now.
