675. Return to Lanzhou
The north wind is howling, and the time has reached the end of November in the fifth year of Datang Zhenguan, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the air is full of chill. And at this time, it was the time when Jingwen returned to Lanzhou, where the headquarters of the Western Army was located, with the army. Jingwen finally realized the idea of allowing the soldiers to return to their homeland before the New Year. Although they may no longer be able to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, at least they can spend the New Year at home, which is already a very good thing for an army that goes abroad to fight. And Jingwen didn't expect that as soon as he came out this time, it would take half a year. From midsummer to winter, time flies! And Jingwen also misses his family a little, especially his cute daughter, and the little apprentice Di Renjie who makes him angry and loved. Of course, several beautiful wives are also very important.
"Overseer, deputy marshal, they're back!" A soldier hurried back to report.
And Cen Wenwen, the supervisor of the Western Army, and Li Junxian, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, also saw the people in the distance, and finally they were all relieved. This time I went to Xuanwei in Tubo, and everyone didn't know what the result would be. However, it would be nice to be able to come back, and that would not be a big problem. And the altitude sickness encountered by the Western Army in Tibet this time, they finally knew. And they didn't have anything to do about this situation, so they all recognized Jingwen when they came back early. Although the Tubo army that invaded the Tang Dynasty was cleaned up, it was not able to teach Tubo a lesson that went deep into the bone marrow, which made everyone a little dissatisfied.
"Soldiers, we're home!" Jingwen said excitedly.
"It's home!" "It's home!" "We're home!" ……
For these soldiers who went abroad on expeditions, being able to return to their homeland is actually home. So, although they didn't really get back home, they were very happy. This is the people's sense of belonging to the country and to their own ethnic groups with the same civilization.
Jingwen took the high-level of the Western Army, and then came to Cen Wenwen and Li Junxian, the deputy envoy of Jiedu. took the initiative to say: "Cen Jianjun, General Li, we are back!" The two of them can be said to have recovered Liangzhou and Guazhou this time, and the credit is not small! ”
"Where, the main credit is to you!" Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian said it well, according to the rules of officialdom, the chief official must share at least half of the credit, so it is certain that Jingwen can get most of the credit. And Li Junxian, they are just sharing the following things.
"Where, you are for promotion and fortune, and I am guilty of meritorious service!" Jingwen said.
"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed.
Then. Jingwen went in, obviously preparing to wash the dust for Jingwen, the genuine Jiedu envoy, in the Jiedu Embassy.
"What about the Tibetan Zampu?" Jingwen asked.
"Oh? After you left, he was placed under house arrest in the guest room and was not allowed to come out. After all, he is the head of a country, and he can't be allowed to sit in a prison car. Cen Wenwen said.
"He didn't run away?" Jingwen asked.
And Li Junxian replied: "He is really calm enough, and he never thought about running away at all!" ”
"Damn! What a cunning! Jingwen said.
Jingwen actually told that Pei Xingjian that he stared at Songtsan Gampo twenty-four hours a day, and if he had the slightest act of escaping, he would take the opportunity to do him. But this guy is obviously very "old" and cunning. I didn't even mean to run away. Since he didn't take the initiative to run away, he couldn't take the initiative to kill him on the grounds that he had escaped. And Jingwen could only call Pei Xingjian before he received the wind and washed the dust.
"Sacrificial wine, I didn't complete your mission. Please please. Pei Xingjian said.
"It doesn't matter, we all know his cunning, it's normal that you are not an opponent!" Jingwen said.
After listening to Pei Xingjian's words, Jingwen finally knew that this guy was so cunning. Songtsen Gampo is always the caretaker of Datang every inch. At first, it was the guards who were responsible for monitoring him, but later it turned out that Songtsen Gampo took the initiative to follow the guards. And these guards were all sent by Cen Wenwen, and they were not directly controlled by Pei Xingjian. And if he doesn't run away. Pei Xingjian really had no way to kill him, otherwise he would have exposed that he wanted to kill him. Although many people now know that Jingwen wants to kill Songtsen Gampo, he can't leave a truth.
And this guy is really cunning, and he is also afraid of being poisoned by others, so every time he eats, he eats with the ordinary servants of the Jiedu Embassy. Although the cook wanted to open a small stove for him, Songtsen Gampo was very conscious of being a prisoner and took the initiative to eat with his subordinates. If Pei Xingjian is really in a hurry, Pei Xingjian is not afraid of being poisoned with a few subordinates, anyway, he will compensate his family at that time. But the problem is that you can't leave a truth, once it is discovered by Cen Wenwen, then Jingwen is not a person inside and out. Therefore, the next person can't have anything, this is the most difficult thing to do.
"It's so cunning! Let's go meet him! Jingwen said.
"General Jingwen has returned to the court? Then you must have gained a lot in Xiao Wang's Tubo, right? Songtsen Gampo said proudly.
Songtsen Gampo had long known that when the Tang Dynasty army went to Tibet, it would definitely have altitude sickness. Therefore, he was not worried at all about what damage the Tang Dynasty army would be able to do in Tibet. Therefore, Songtsen Gampo has nothing to fear. Now Jingwen is definitely a labor expedition, but there is no gain, and Songtsen Gampo will inevitably come to ridicule Jingwen.
But Jingwen said: "Very good! Thanks to Zampu, you have a wise prime minister, so I have nothing to gain. Your prime minister, Lu Dongzan, is too wise. I think he will be able to lead Tubo to prosperity! ”
Songtsen Gampo's face changed, and suddenly Yan had to ask, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting, I think Zampu, you are still only fifteen or sixteen years old, you should not be married yet, and you don't have offspring! And your brother, I am afraid, has died in the civil strife a few years ago. Therefore, the prime minister can only be entrusted with the regent. However, you are trapped in my Tang Dynasty, and you have no blood relatives in China, so if the Prime Minister of Tubo has any ideas that he shouldn't have, it will be ......."
Songtsen Gampo's face was as pale as paper, obviously frightened by Jingwen's speculation, but he still comforted himself and said: "No, Lu Dongzan will not betray me, he is loyal to me!" ”
"You're scared sometimes!" Jingwen laughed and said. (To be continued......)
