Chapter 223: Festive

I don't know how to describe the mood at this moment, I want to express happily, I want to whisper and confide, but I am alone and silently around Chang'an City, and I am tired and people take it away, and I am tired of riding a horse, not hungry, not thirsty, and I don't want to stop.

Until the sunset, like the remnants of blood rendering the majestic and solemn Chang'an City, the hard wisdom of the Chinese sons and daughters after thousands of years of sedimentation and condensation, erupted and erupted before the moon. Looking at the entire Eurasian continent, no country dared to jump out to question, no one dared to make a big statement, the whole planet trembled under the iron hooves of the Tang Empire, the north wind howled, under the shadow of the sword and sword, the Turkic Empire, known for its strength and bravery, was forcefully stepped into the long river of history by the rapidly rising oriental giants, and has since disappeared.

There is no need for all kinds of false and gorgeous words to describe the bravery of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the living, the dead, and the bloodiness shown in the blood is the most tangible thing, just like the heavyweight players often do not need to fight for twelve rounds, standing in front of the opponent who is lying down, and letting the facts speak.

Proud, proud, what a real feeling, you don't have to stand in the crowd and shout, facing the grass and trees by the city river, silently moving forward, listening quietly, as if you are in a meat grinder where soldiers are fighting and blood is neighing, the military flag is hunting, and the military drum is vibrating...... It's not an illusion, the real drum sound, from the Chang'an City came a low, heavy drum music, the victory, the victory of the drum beat in the heart. I am a selfish fellow, unwilling to go into the city and share the joy of victory with millions of people, alone, all the feelings are mine, clenched tightly in my heart, and my blood flows around me.

Maybe the wind was strong, and I lost my eyes, and my cheeks were cool, so I wiped it with my hands. Turned around and patted the bridge of the mount's nose, they are all lucky guys, an era of surging blood, everything around is boiling, rolling and impacting everything around, looking around, those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die. Use the blood of the enemy to compose a strong voice against the sky.

"Young Eunuch Wang."

I followed the sound and looked, and unconsciously returned to the east gate, Liu Renliang led the horse and stood at the intersection not far from the 'irrigation garden' to greet me.

"Superintendent Liu." The voice is a little hoarse, and I can't find a sense of tune. Coughed lightly a few times to correct the tone, and hurried a few steps forward to arch his hand, "It's so late, it's just done?" ”

Liu Renliang didn't answer me, and looked at the city tower in the distance. "Got it?"

"Yes."

"Behead 110,000, hehe......" Liu Renliang's hoarse and low laughter came out in the twilight, "Looking at the northwest, who else can be the enemy of my Datang?" Turning his head to look at me, "Have a drink?" ”

I frowned. “……”

"If you dare to drink under the ban of the imperial court, what is there to be taboo in the history of the march?" Liu Renliang made an exception and mentioned each other's official positions, and pointed, "The young eunuch must be good at this." Looking for a restaurant just to get drunk! ”

"Yes, come down." After that, he turned over and got on the horse, grabbed the reins of Male, and stood up under his crotch and hissed, like an electric strike. Amazing, this is the best state, I have comprehended the highest level of riding skills, and the whole set of actions is perfect. Even the mount felt the detachment at that moment, the man and the horse were one, and they broke through the air and relaxed on the official road like a swift arrow.

"Good riding!" Liu Renliang's face was red after getting off the horse, and after handing over the mount to the guy, he pointed at me and praised: "I am a male in the Tang Dynasty, which can be seen only by watching the young eunuch Shenyu!" ”

This Lao Liu was drunk without drinking, chatting about the feeling of juvenile madness, and looked at him blushing from the cold wind. The old guy turned out to be playing with the horse all the time. Humility arched hands. smiled: "Seeing the smile, if you don't take the lead in the next step...... Hehe. Pointing to the storefront, "The wine here is not bad, the superintendent, please." ”

Liu Renliang looked at the delicate face of the store, "Liucai Pavilion, hehe." The famous place, I heard that it is one of the three major gold caves in the capital, and I came for the first time, and Zihao led the way. ”

I am now a regular visitor, in response to the rare opportunity of the great victory in the northwest, the guys of the Liucai Pavilion are busy arranging inside and out, and the good news of the horse and the Turkic land has also been posted, adding to the festive atmosphere with the space. The shopkeeper was as cordial as he was when he saw me, and he prepared a private room without waiting for me to speak. I waved my hand to stop the shopkeeper from greeting, "You don't have to ask, the people who can come with me are amazing people." No kabuki, no maids, just be courteous with food and drink. ”

"Hehe," Liu Renliang shook his head and smiled, "Spending money like dirt, the young eunuch has the demeanor of a wealthy family." ”

"Occasionally, occasionally." Lead the way in front of the head. I have figured out the details of Liu Renliang, except for enjoying the benefits of national housing and medical care, there is no other industry at home, and he is a clean and honest cadre who only lives on his income. Don't look at his majesty in the Korean Peninsula to fight and kill, but the spoils of war are not touched, Su Dingfang, who is known as not greedy for utilitarianism, pulled dozens of cars of valuable objects to his family in one breath after the battle, and took the super copper furnace as a bet to fight crickets, but Liu Renliang returned to Beijing with a clean sleeve. Based on this alone, even if he is a hypocrite, we have to admire, this is Superman. "It's not a wealthy family, it's just a solid family, and I usually have a little expense in my pocket."

"Oh?" Liu Renliang estimated that he hadn't drunk for a long time, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to pour himself a glass and drink it all. "Good wine!" After praise, he realized that he was out of shape, and laughed at himself: "It's the first time in my life to drink such a violent drink, and it's really Liucai Pavilion, and even the wine is different." ”

This can't be blamed for his lack of knowledge, he returned to Beijing during the ban on alcohol, as a commander, he was most afraid of others picking and choosing, and he probably didn't have the courage to run out to drink moonshine, and he didn't see my Wang's fine wine normally. Laughing: "Tied up by this prohibition, if the superintendent comes back a few months early, there is nothing more delicious than this." ”

"That's enough! Make an exception today, hehe," he pointed to the furnishings around the private room, "Extravagant!" ”

"It's a good thing, this shows that my country's national strength is thriving," he said, pointing to the plate in front of him, "This is carefully built by craftsmen in the Western Regions, as well as the tapestry of big food, the tooth chopsticks of Tianzhu, the fragrance of Motuo, and the specialties of the five lakes and the four seas are all gathered here, which shows that the national strength of our dynasty is strong." ”

Liu Renliang shook his head, "Not necessarily." Exhausting pleasures, ethical norms are corrupted here. Now the country is flourishing, but it is far from worrying, there is a Tibetan tiger in front of it, and there is the ambition of the wolf son of Nanzhao in the back, although the Turks are peaceful. However, all the tribes in the Western Regions have their own ghosts, and if they are slightly tired, they will be attacked by the Hu people. Speaking of this, he put down the wine glass on the ground and sighed, "It's not a blessing to win a hundred battles!" ”

Be a wet blanket! scolded secretly in his heart, no wonder that other people's military exploits can be added to the rank and rank, and this guy will be rewarded for his military exploits without pain. It's a matter of giving out some bonuses. has no eyes, after so many years of being an official, he can't even say anything when, even if he is honest, he has to pick a suitable day, right? Fortunately, I am at the same level as him, and if I want to change the emperor, then don't think about mixing up, hurry up, and spend money on a place where I can't see or worry. I felt nauseous when I saw it. "Tubo is located on the plateau, in a bitter cold land, although my dynasty is beyond the reach of the whip, but there is no need to be afraid of it. Supplies are scarce and equipment is limited. It is just plundering and harassing, if you dare to drive in for a long time, you will bring about your own destruction. "Raised his hand and took a cup, what a mouthful." In the warm land of Nanzhao, poisonous insects and miasma can be soothed. Use it to contain and suppress Tibet, a double-edged sword, and if used well, it can become an arm help. ”

Liu Renliang nodded, "This time, that time." When the country was strong, the Southern Zhao of Tubo would not dare to act rashly. However, the Western Regions is a major hidden danger in our dynasty, with a large number of races and tribes. The reciprocating expeditions will definitely hurt the vitality of our dynasty, and Tubo and Nanzhao will take the opportunity to make changes, while the eastern Goryeo rebellion continues. ...... enemies on all sides" said this. It seems that he has seen the tragic situation of Datang falling apart, and he has an expression of dichlorvos.

I saw it. Liu Renliang is a worrying character, afraid of falling into a dark pit when walking, afraid of being collapsed by the wall when walking the wall, the kind of person who wants to go bankrupt before doing business, and who can't live a solid life all his life. It's weird and tired, when worrying about the country and the people becomes a part of his life, I think it's better for him to rebel and become the emperor, so that he can be better and absolutely diligent. "In fact, for the people of the Western Regions, if you think about it, you can't blame others for making trouble from time to time. A group of people herding horses and cattle, what do you want, eat all day long, there is no tomorrow, and in winter, you don't know if you can survive until spring. Those people are also pitiful, the Western Regions are so big, it is not easy to really want to have a foothold, first of all, there are no conditions for people to settle down. ”

Liu Renliang didn't speak, he looked up at me, his eyes were very strange, it is estimated that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, everyone used this kind of look to liquidate traitors.

"Hehe," I changed my cup of tea to moisten my throat, "the superintendent doesn't have to care. I have been on Zuo Wuwei for a while, and you also know that there must be a difference between the enemy and me in the sand table, and I have been playing the villain on the sand table since the beginning of the old man Cheng's westward expedition, Turkic and Tibetan, all of which are my roles. In order to strive for truth and achieve the effect of deduction, I am constantly studying the living habits and combat specialties of nomads, and I have not come out of the role I have played for a while, hehe, haha......"

"No wonder!" Liu Renliang's face was relieved, "Thanks to the young eunuch's timely explanation, if you leave others alone, you can't drink this wine with him anymore." ”

"As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, who wants to do this work? The military department needs this role, so it has to temporarily sacrifice its own position, which can be regarded as dedication to the country. "This is the truth, I have never been a Red Army since I started mixing with those old guys, and I have been repeatedly annihilated more than a dozen times a day.

"I still want to settle down," Liu Renliang laughed a few times, "It's best to look like this now, if you really let them learn from my Datang and live and cultivate in peace, it will become a big disaster after many years." ”

That's interesting. Lanling thinks that it is good to raise, but Liu Renliang thinks that stocking can reduce the threat, and in the end it is not as knowledgeable as my mother-in-law. It's good to know what he thinks, so I don't argue with him first, change the topic, and say with a bitter face: "The funds for collecting species in the past are still not sufficient, and I have made a few trips to the Inner Mansion in the lower court, but it has no effect. ”

"Neifu, hum!" As soon as he mentioned this, Liu Renliang was dissatisfied, "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, since agriculture is demarcated, it should be independently funded from the Ministry of Households, but it is linked to the name of the Ministry of Industry, so that we will be helped at both ends of the air, but the dignified Chinese culture will not get the treatment it deserves!" ”

"Now it's just a trial trial, and the internal government has not thought it through for a while, and it can't come up with so much funding. The Ministry of Industry is also allocated in a unified manner, and the two parties have not negotiated to build an agricultural school, which is too hasty. "Lanling doesn't have much experience in this area, and when he invests in an ordinary school, Li Zhiguang listens well, and the two of them are impulsive." In fact, the soundness of this information and the introduction of species cannot be rushed, according to the current capacity step by step, according to the internal government has done its best. It is estimated that the situation will improve in the second half of next year. "This year, Lanling has formulated a global strategy for next year's foreign trade destinations, and the devil's claws are stretched wildly, once the distribution is in place. Efficiency is greater than robbery, and I have no doubt about that.

Liu Renliang knocked on the table and asked suspiciously: "The second half of next year?" The young eunuch said this strangely, could it be that there is any reliance? ”

"Hehe," I smiled and shook my head, "I can't say it, since the inner government has supported such a big face, it will definitely not let agriculture hang in the air." We are anxious, and they are even more anxious. ”

"Oh," Liu Renliang glanced at me, "I have also heard about what the inner government is doing now, and since it is not harmful to the country and the people, and it can use the money on the right path, I will not pursue it." After I came back from Goryeo. I vaguely feel that the atmosphere in Jingshi is different from before, but I can't say the difference. ”

This old guy is still relatively sensitive, unlike him, he definitely can't see the changes in Lanling, but Li Zhi relies on this sister in a lot of places. The two of them have frequent contact, and there will be some changes, although Lanling doesn't say these things in front of me, but after a long time, he can make a judgment in and out of his tone. Liu Renliang is an officer. The official position is not high, but there are many times to face saints. I didn't say this, and pretended to look at him blankly.

"I can't tell." Liu Renliang took a few bites of food, chewing and shaking his head, not knowing whether the food was not in harmony with his appetite or because he couldn't see the situation clearly.

Lanling is right, from Liu Renliang's words, he should have a new understanding of the political vision of Lanling, and from the idea of raising nomads but not planning and implementing, but asking me to try to pull Liu Renliang into her (presumably including Li Zhi) plan. If Lanling instigated Li Zhi to make the order himself, Liu Renliang alone would be able to oppose it. If you don't implement it, it will reduce the emperor's prestige in the eyes of officials, and it will be more difficult to restrain it in the future; If it is implemented, it will have to clash with the commander or even the ministers, and now there are many people who dare to hit the pillar on the Golden Palace, and the loss of forcing a few direct ministers to die is even more outweighed the loss.

Lanling and Li Zhi are probably also quietly thinking about officials, and Liu Renliang, as an official, is responsible for supervising these things, looking at them in his eyes, his heart is confused.

"Why are you bullying Lao Liu?" Now that he has borrowed the identity of the young superintendent of agriculture, he can enter and leave the Lanling Mansion openly. No one will suspect that I am doing something wrong. Now that the extortion and robbery in the agricultural school has become well-known, Liu Renliang keeps going to the household department to extort. From time to time, I harassed the big bosses of the inner government and official business.

"Bullying?" Lan Ling shook his head blankly, "Who dares to bully him?" It's too late to go around, and now Liu Xiangma, who is famous in Beijing, no, I heard that the head of the household department and the Ministry of Industry have plans to die. ”

"Then you dragged me to drink and drink pitifully last night, when you secretly played tricks on others." Lanling let out his words, pretending to avoid debts and running away from me in a small village on the outskirts of Beijing, which was just convenient for me to get in and out. Like my family, I also set up a fire kang to make the house warm.

"Oh," Lan Ling laughed, "I remember." The matter of the moon and the earth, in response to the royal change of the age of the daughter's marriage, found fault, suspected that the royal took the lead in making this example, Chang'an dignitaries have followed suit, once the formation of customs and spread among the people, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Oh?" Interesting, he squeezed on the warm kang in Lanling, "Tell me, what happened later?" ”

"I refuted, I didn't explain it to him, and let him reflect. He refused to accept it, admonished him again, and was severely criticized by the emperor. Although he was still not convinced, he estimated that he had accepted the benefits of marrying a few years late, and he was not making a fuss. The three daughters of his family were fourteen, and there were still relatives at the beginning, but I heard that they didn't mention it now, just saying that the girl was not in good health and had to be raised at home for two years. Lan Ling smiled when he said this, "Liu Renliang's third daughter was born to a wife, but when she was raised as a baby, she was probably afraid that his daughter would marry early and not be able to pass the childbearing level, so she turned around again." ”

"yes, that's what a real dad is. According to Lao Liu's temper, it is indeed respectable to be able to do this step, if you let go of that kind of old stubbornness, maybe you will marry a daughter and do it with the royal family when you go home, this kind of person is hateful. "There are many officials who claim to be honest and upright, and it is not uncommon for them to force their wives and daughters to death, and the guy who does not care about his family's life to achieve his reputation is not even as good as livestock, let alone expect him to have a positive impact on the country.

"Well," Lan Ling leaned against me, "I don't know the current affairs but I know how to be flexible, an official like Liu Renliang is indeed valuable, he is still sharp and angular after more than ten years of being an official, and the first emperor polished his edges and corners so that he could not be reused, but now it seems that it is valuable to have edges and corners." ”

"If you know it's valuable, you won't give me money? Are you going to hang Lao Liu in a hurry? Chao Lanling grabbed two handfuls of his body, "Lao Liu has assigned it to me, he is mainly attacking the household department, and I will try my best to capture the inner house, and I came here today by order, you are not allowed to fight back." ”

Lan Ling blushed and struggled, "I also have to give people time to take a breath, I just got some money back here and poured it into the black hole of agriculture, how can I do it without leaving some living money?" Saying that, he pushed me weakly, and glanced at me with a watery look, "Are you here for the card account or for pulling people?" didn't say that if you can't afford to give money, you will take people to the ground. ”

"Come less, do you still expect to be thoughtful in my hands? The account has to be repaid, and people can't be cheap. Stretched out his hand to pull the kang curtain, "Do you know what happened to the white-haired girl?" ”

Lan Ling bit his red lip and said charmingly: "I don't believe it, there are two ghost wives in your family, what do you dare to do to the daughters of the Bai family." ”

"If you don't pay back the money you owe, give her father bean sprouts to suffocate ......, and you will end up paying the bill!"
