Chapter 201: Undercurrent (II)
"Your Majesty, the so-called name is not right, the land in the river originally belonged to the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and it is logical for me to help King Qinhua drive away the big cannibals and march into the river. Wuhu water has been owned by the big food for a long time in the west, and the Tang Dynasty crosses the Wuhu water, which is a nameless teacher. "However, the west of Wuhushui belonged to Persia more than 100 years ago, and it is only right for us to march west of Wuhushui in the name of reopening the Persian Governorate. What's more, although there are very few Persian remnants, but after all, there is not nothing, the Mukun family has been entrenched in the Tocharian Mountains for many years, and now the Persian king Pushang is still there with his clansmen, if the Anxi athletes raise the banner of recovering the country for the Persian king, it will definitely make the Persian remnants look forward to the wind, and the army will have a lot less resistance. ”
Li Longji was silent for a long time, looked at Chen Xilie and said, "There is some truth in what you said. I just want to know how much benefit you received from Mu Kun, Chen Qing. ”
"The things sent by Mu Kun are all here, and Weichen doesn't dare to take them home, so he keeps them on his body." Chen Xilie's face was calm, he took out a small box from his arms, and respectfully opened it in front of Li Longji.
Li Longji glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "Put it away." You're not black-hearted. ”
Chen Xilie smiled and took the box back into his arms: "Your Majesty, this matter is thought to be feasible." ”
Li Longji pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Li Jing is expanding his territory in the east, and I need money. For the sake of two million dollars, I can promise Mu Kun. However, it is necessary to come up with a charter first, and it must not affect Ma Lu's development in the river. Chen Qing, you go back and think about it, and write a piece that satisfies me. ”
Chen Xilie smiled and nodded, bowed and left.
Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Xilie would not lie to him, he was still confident at all. The gift of 3,000 yuan was admitted in front of him, and he naturally would not pursue it.
When the war is fought together, the money spent is like flowing water. Li Jing opened up in western Liaoning, the supply line became longer and longer, and more and more money and grain were consumed, and the household department was already a little overwhelmed.
Speaking of which, Ma Lan is the most worry-free, the easiest to fight, and can obtain a lot of wealth after every battle.
However, Li Jing has already done a good job, how can the poor Khitan and Xi people have anything worth plundering, Ma Ling is a veteran of a hundred battles, Li Jing is just a fledgling, it is not easy to do this step, we must fully support in terms of money and food, and we must not let these Chang'an children who fought bloody battles on the battlefield feel cold.
Since the descendants of Ninia still have the idea of recovering the country, then you might as well give them a chance to try. The Persian homeland is too big, and the Tang Dynasty has no intention of completely occupying it.
……
A new marriage edict was sent from the Xingqing Palace, one was sent directly to the palace of the prince of Fufeng County, one was sent to the mansion of General Gao Xianzhi, and one was sent directly to the river.
At the same time, the content of the edict was also publicly disseminated in Chang'an City. This is the meaning of Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, he thinks that this is a good story, and he is naturally not afraid to make everyone know it.
In the edict, Gao Xianzhi was greatly praised, and Gao Xianzhi was crowned as the Duke of Miyun County and the General of Yulin on the right. Yang Guozhong has just been restored to his title, and the edict has just come out of Chang'an, so it is naturally not appropriate to add another reward, but he also praised it greatly in the edict.
The one who received the most praise was Ma Lu, and the original floating behavior became a heavy love and righteousness in the edict. At the end of the edict, it was naturally a strange thing that the two daughters of the Gao family of the Yang family were both wives and the eldest wives of the Ma family.
Yang Youniang, who pulled up the woman's bun, had re-established her prestige in the county king's mansion, and after receiving the holy decree, Yang Youniang's expression was extremely calm, and she rewarded the lieutenant who passed the decree, and went to the backyard alone with the edict.
"Master!"
Standing in front of the person she trusted the most, Yang Youniang felt sad in her heart, and there were tears in her eyes.
Her family has been exiled, staying alone in Chang'an, the man she likes went to the river again, showing up to take care of the affairs of the Ma family, and facing the rumors of the Chang'an people all day long, she is calm on the surface, but her heart is almost broken. If Master hadn't been here, she wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago.
A few days ago, the news of Jiannan's victory came, and then the edict of the Son of Heaven was publicly issued, and her father was restored to the title and was about to enter Beijing as an official. This news made her extremely happy, and she was originally going to wait for her father to return to Chang'an, and then go to the palace to beg her aunt to let the Son of Heaven reissue a marriage edict, and determine the marriage date between her and Ma Lan as soon as possible, so that she could officially marry into the Ma family as soon as possible and get rid of this unclear embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the final marriage edict came in advance, but it was such a result.
The girl of the Gao family is very powerful, she also spared her life when she was in Anxi, she doesn't hate that girl very much now, but she should be the eldest wife of the Ma family, and now she actually lets Ma Lan marry two wives, what is going on!
She could accept Ma Lan's floating waves, after all, this was what the master had told her a long time ago. Ma Lu has too many concubines, and she doesn't care, who is not like this in the rich and noble. However, the two wives are too ridiculous. Yang Youniang couldn't imagine how those people would see herself when she walked in Chang'an City in the future.
"Good boy, that's pretty good." Kang Xiaoyu put it aside after reading the edict, looked at Yang Youniang and smiled.
"Master, this makes me a joke in Chang'an City." Yang Youniang said with an aggrieved face.
"Girl, think about it from your husband's standpoint, is there a better ending than this?" Kang Xiaoyu smiled, "What kind of person is Dongshi Xiaoma, I have already made it very clear to you." If he could break his promise and abandon a woman with whom he had sworn an oath, he wouldn't be a pony in the East City. A man who doesn't care about promises, girl, is such a man worthy of your liking? ”
Yang Youniang lowered her head and was silent, her tears finally dripping into the dust, looking extremely pitiful.
"If you like him, you have to stand in his position and think about him, so that you really like him. He met Gao Qianqian in front, and the Son of Heaven gave you a marriage in the back, when I heard about the girl in the Gao family, I was very worried about you. But for now, it looks like the results are not bad for you. Girl, believe me, this is already a rare good ending. Kang Xiaoyu said quietly, caressing Yang Youniang's bun, and a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes.
"Master, I don't want to be a woman who is attached to a man, I don't want to be a joke. Master, the young lady is unwilling! Yang Youniang clenched her little fists and said in a low voice.
"In this world, there is no woman who is not attached to men. I thought the same thing when I was younger, and now I know I was wrong. I want to turn back, but it's no longer possible......" Kang Xiaoyu looked lonely and sighed softly, "Girl, your man is the most powerful man in the world." If you marry such a man, which one is qualified to laugh at you? Don't ask for more, ask for more, and the happiness in the palm of your hand will be lost, you know? ”
Yang Youniang nodded silently, leaning on Kang Xiaoyu's body, looking slightly tired, and fell asleep after a few breaths.
Kang Xiaoyu sighed lightly, looked at the sky with pool-like eyes, and was silent for a long time.
……
Watching Mu Kun's gift being transported into the inner warehouse, Chen Xilie left the Xingqing Palace, and the carriage drove to General Zuo Weiwei's mansion.
Chen Xilie was extremely proud of his own changes. The genius idea that the two women are the eldest wives of the Ma family is not something that anyone can come up with.
If only Yang Youniang is the eldest wife of the Ma family, maybe in the future, Ma Ling and Yang Guozhong, the son-in-law, will become one, which will be a big bad thing for him. And now that Ma Lan has Gao Xianzhi's father-in-law, the possibility of Yang Guozhong and Ma Lan getting together will be greatly reduced.
A temporary idea that has brought so many benefits to himself, Chen Xilie naturally thinks about it and is happier the more he thinks about it.
Zuo Weiwei's general Mu Kun was shot and crippled by the Anxi army in the battle north of Shule City, but his two hands were still strong. He also spent most of his time in the mansion sitting on the back of a camel, holding a heavy mace in his hand, recalling the glory of the bloody battles of the past.
Seeing Chen Xilie coming, Mu Kun hurriedly repelled left and right, looked at Chen Xilie and said eagerly: "Chen Xiang, is it done?" ”
Chen Xilie nodded.
Mu Kun's eyes showed excitement, and he roared: "Thank you Chen Xiang!" ”
Chen Xilie smiled and said, "It's just cooperation, what is there to thank." When the prince arrives in his homeland, do not forget what to do and what not to do. ”
Mu Kun nodded: "There is no hope of recovering Persia, and it is enough to get a corner under the wings of the Tang Army." What I want to do most is naturally to kill Ma Lan and avenge the abolition of these legs, Chen Xiang doesn't need to remind me, I will naturally do what I should do. ”
Chen Xilie said: "Ma Lan is naturally lucky, and it is not easy to kill this person. The prince did his best, if he could kill this person in the river, no matter who presided over the river in the future, I would ask him to give the prince the best conditions, and there would be no problem in making the prince the lord of one side. ”
Mu Kun's eyes flashed and said, "Chen Xiang is not worried that Ma Lan is dead, and the situation in the river has become uncontrollable?" ”
Chen Xilie sneered: "The prince is too underestimated by my Tang Dynasty!" My Tang Dynasty is like a cloud, and there are many stronger than Ma Renjie, but there is no chance. In the future, no matter who presides over the river, even if it cannot be opened up again, there will be no problem in keeping it. Ma Renjie's wolf ambition, if he is allowed to sit in the middle of the river, it will be my Datang henchman's trouble! The old man is willing to conspire with you, not for the position of the right minister, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty! ”
Mu Kun smiled and didn't speak.
Chen Xilie knew that Mu Kun didn't believe it, but he didn't care.
"When the prince reaches the river, he must be cautious, and must not act rashly, for once he has set it in, he must succeed! Last time, the prince ambushed Ma Lu in Yankangfang and told him that he was bound to win, but the result was a failure! Such a mistake must never be repeated! ”
Mu Kun smiled: "Although Yankangfang failed to succeed that time, it made Yang Guozhong and Ma Lan become mortal enemies, and Yang Guozhong was later exiled to Lingnan Dao, and the cause was this incident. That action was extremely beneficial to Chen Xiang, if there was no such action, how could Chen Xiang be the first person in the dynasty? Now Yang Guozhong is resurrected, but he is just a royal historian, and his status is still under Chen Xiang, all because of that action. ”
Chen Xilie nodded: "What you said is good, but everything is accidental, and the old man prefers to have everything under control." Now there are still people in Chang'an to find the truth of this matter, the prince is not careful! ”
"Chen Xiang's words, I will keep it in mind. This time, if I don't start it when I get to the river, once it is launched, it will definitely be a thunderous blow, and I will definitely not let Ma Renjie escape again, Chen Xiang can rest assured. ”
"Then wait for the good news from the prince. The old man went back and wrote a charter that would satisfy both His Majesty and the Prince. After a few days, the prince will be able to go to the river. ”
After Chen Xilie finished speaking, he took a gift that Mu Kun had already prepared, and left General Zuo Weiwei's mansion. (To be continued.) )
