Chapter 512: Faith
Yuangai Suwen rode a horse and couldn't wait to return to the mansion, and then wrote a letter with a pen, in the letter first touted, and then begged Li Yong for help, this time Yuangai Suwen completely put down his body, experienced the trip to the Tang Dynasty, returned to Goguryeo and experienced the experience of officialdom, now he is no longer the hot-blooded young man, after tasting the taste of power, after breeding ambition, his face has also thickened, and he has become shameless, and it is not over after writing the letter, he went to the treasury again, Painfully picked out the most precious treasures in the warehouse, and then packed all the ginseng collected for hundreds of years, while loading, Yuan Gai Suwen's heart was dripping blood, he could only continue to comfort himself, there is a gift to get, today's pay is for tomorrow's greater return, with letters and congratulatory gifts, Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't wait to come to the Li firm.
"Shopkeeper Zhen!" Yuangai Suwen laughed.
Zhen Quede looked at the irrepressible smile on Yuangai Suwen's face and understood that Yuangai Suwen was about to lead the troops to the battle.
"It seems that everything is as the general wishes, general, congratulations!"
Zhen Quede said with a smile, and Yuan Gai Suwen laughed.
"Tongxi, Tongxi, after the triumph of this general, he will definitely be able to go to the next level, and when the time comes, he will definitely support the expansion of the Li family to every city in our Goguryeo!"
Zhen Quede said with a smile.
"Then we will wait for the general's good news!"
Yuangai Suwen waved his hand, and the guard behind him stepped forward with the brocade box, and Yuangai Suwen took out the letter and said with a smile.
"Huating Hou Jin Feng County Prince, although the general is thousands of miles away, he is also very happy, but unfortunately he can't drink with the county publicly, and please ask the shopkeeper Zhen to send this letter to the county prince as soon as possible, and these, this is the general's congratulatory gift to the Huating Hou Jin Feng County Prince, please Zhen Shopkeeper must be transferred to the county prince as soon as possible!"
Zhen Quede said with a smile.
"Don't worry, general, I'll send someone back to Chang'an with a letter and a congratulatory gift!"
"There is Lao Zhen in charge, General Ben is about to go on the expedition, and he is busy with affairs, so he will leave!"
Yuan Gai Suwen didn't stay long, he wanted to prepare for the upcoming expedition, Zhen Quede said with a smile.
"I wish the general a victorious opening and a triumphant army!"
Looking at Yuangai Suwen leaving, Zhen Quede smiled more and more happily, since Goguryeo is going to send troops to attack Silla, then according to the instructions of the grandfather, they are going to leave Goguryeo and return to Datang, of course it is a good thing to be able to return to Datang, after all, everyone has left Datang for a long time, and there is always some homesickness, of course, there is also a little reluctance, after all, everyone is working hard in Goguryeo, and the development of the business bank is very good, and it can be seen that the wealth will be rolling, at this time, you have to give up all your previous efforts, of course, there is some reluctance, fortunately, The task that the grandfather explained to them was almost completed, and the intelligence was almost collected, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to leave, because they would definitely have a time to come back, and when they came back, this land would still be this land, but the sky must have changed, and there would be no need to please anyone at that time, and the army would go out on an expedition, which was a great matter for both the officials of the DPRK and the central government, and for the people of the market, so the king's decision to send troops to attack Silla suddenly spread like a gust of wind throughout the entire city of Pyongyang, There were rumors that the imperial court was going to send troops to attack Silla, and the people in the market were looking forward to this, after all, the current king of Silla was a woman, and in their eyes, Silla was like a seductive beauty, and she was also a weak beauty, a weak beauty who took and took away. Originally, there were officials in the court who opposed the attack on Silla, of course, not because they were worried that they would not be able to defeat Silla, but because they were worried that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to intervene, but when the king took out the letter, all the officials who opposed it were convinced, and Li Yong, the Marquis of Huating, had been promoted to the title of county duke, and all the officials who heard the news were shocked, the county prince of the Tang Dynasty! Although he is not a national prince, how old is Li Yong? It's one step away from the Duke of the Kingdom, and Datang's title is not so good, wasn't Datang's title hard worked on the battlefield before? And Li Yong only took more than five years to start from scratch and become a county prince, what speed is this? The youngest county prince in Datang, the fastest county prince in Datang, the credit is attributed, what kind of saint does this have? is not only the holy family, but also the connections, otherwise if the ministers of the court and the central government are all opposed, it is impossible for the Tang Emperor to make Li Yongjin a county duke, and those princes of the Tang Dynasty are all blood-stained battlefields and worked hard to get the title of the duke, they saw that Li Yong only took more than five years to be promoted to the county duke, can they be convinced? Can you not object? However, Li Yong really only took more than five years to be promoted to the county prince, which is very intriguing, which shows that Li Yong's position in the Tang Dynasty is very important, so since Li Yong is willing to help Yuan Gai Suwen solve in the Tang Dynasty, then there is really no need to worry that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to intervene, as long as the Tang Dynasty does not send troops to interfere, then they are absolutely confident that they can destroy Silla, a woman as the king of Silla, can they still resist their wolf-like soldiers? Sending troops to attack Silla made Goguryeo, which was originally silent due to the severe cold, boil all of a sudden, and the government and the opposition were busy sending troops, planning to go to Silla to burn and loot. Chang'an, heavy snow closed the road, thick snow made the road muddy and difficult, but Changsheng Road is still flowing, since there is this hard and smooth cement road, whether it is heavy snow or heavy rain, can make the carriage unimpeded, so even if the snow falls, people can still conveniently go back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang, several horses came to the Changsheng Road archway but did not enter the city, but turned their heads to the south, the county mansion plaque in front of the Xishan Courtyard is shining, the porter stands in front of the door and the waist pole is straight, if it is in previous years, such a snowy day, I can't stand on my feet outside, I have to stomp my feet and shiver, but this year I don't need it, because there are cotton jackets and cotton pants, and the grandfather and the princess are too cold when they are on duty at the porter, and they are specially distributed a cotton coat to each of them, I have to say that this cotton coat is too warm, even on such a snowy day it is very warm, especially when the two hands are inserted into the sleeves, it is simply amazing, just when the porters are full of red light and contentment, several horses galloped.
"Huh? Daeju, have you come back from Goguryeo? ”
The porter immediately greeted him, and it was not easy to rush back to Chang'an from Liaodong in the cold all the way! It's so sinful!
"Where's Grandpa? Is Grandpa in the house? Liaodong urgent letter! ”。
"You've caught up, but Grandpa hasn't gone out yet!"
As he spoke, the porter stepped forward to lead the horse, and the few who jumped off the horse stumbled and almost didn't sit on the ground.
"Oh, you've had a really hard journey, and you don't have any cotton clothes, it's too cold!"
The porter was sympathetic. Coat? It's warm? They were all wearing leather all the way, if they weren't wearing leather, they would have been frozen all the way, so their expressions were a little puzzled, and a few porters patted the cotton clothes on their bodies and said.
"This is a cotton coat made of white stacked flowers, you touch it, it is soft and warm, and it is super comfortable to wear!"
A few people stepped forward to touch it, and suddenly felt that the skin on their body was not fragrant at all, and they originally went to Goguryeo to mix a skin, and they wanted to come back to talk about it, but it turned out that people are not rare in skin, cotton clothes are much warmer than leather, and they are soft, so envious! After a while, the people in the porter remembered that these guys were about to freeze!
"Let's have a sip of hot water to warm up first!"
The porter asked.
"Let's go see Grandpa first!"
Li Yong wrapped his cloak and strode out of the inner courtyard, and when he saw several people coming in front of him.
"Huh? How many of you came back from Liaodong? ”
Li Yong asked, he had an impression of these people, these guys performed well in the Intelligence Bureau, they were the backbone members of the Goguryeo team, and they recognized them when they heard the grandfather, and several people were very happy, and they said urgently while saluting.
"Grandpa Qiyu, this is Yuangai Suwen's letter, and this is Yuangai Suwen's congratulatory gift."
Li Yong took the letter, and then asked the little maid to send the congratulatory gift to the backyard, and said with a smile.
"All the way from Liaodong, a few of you have worked hard, let the kitchen prepare meals, and then prepare a jar of liquor to warm your body, each person will be rewarded with ten catties of cotton, you have worked hard all the way, have a good rest!"
Let these people go down to rest, Li Yong opened the letter, and as he expected, Yuangai Suwen was really going to lead the troops to attack Silla.
This is definitely good news for Li Er!
"Let's go, enter the palace!"
Li Yong turned over and urged the horse to gallop, the cloak was very windy, originally he didn't plan to enter the palace, but since he received a letter from Yuangai Suwen, of course, he had to tell Li Er, let him prepare early, Goguryeo's attack on Silla is simple, the total is so big, and it is easy to mobilize the grain and grass army, but the Tang Dynasty is different, to attack Goguryeo is considered a labor expedition, but the mobilization of grain and grass is a huge project, of course, you must prepare early, it snows heavily, although the cement road can still be unimpeded, But after all, the cement road is only a short section, and it still has a great impact on the imperial court, so Li Er, the emperor, is also rare and leisurely, and when Li Yong came to the Ganlu Palace, Li Er and Empress Changsun were leisurely copying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
"What a pity! A certain has been looking for the Lanting Collection Preface for so many years, but he has found nothing, Li Yong, you have always been smart, how do you say that you can find the Lanting Collection Preface? ”
Li Er sighed, although Li Yong's face remained unchanged when he heard this, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, Li Er wouldn't know that the Lanting Collection Preface had long been in his hands, so he deliberately tested him, right? No, if Li Er knew that the Lanting Collection Preface was already in his hands, he still needed to be tempted? It is estimated that he has already rushed over with a musket, God knows how obsessed Li Er is with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Li Er dreamed of getting the Lanting Collection Preface, if he didn't know that Li Er took the Lanting Collection Preface to the grave, and gave the Lanting Collection Preface to Li Er, in fact, Li Yong once had this plan, that was the tenth day after he and Changle had a round house, Changle saw the Lanting Collection Preface in his treasure room, and Changle was stunned at that time. Of course, she knew that her father had been looking for the Lanting Collection Preface for a long, long time, and of course she knew how eager her father was for the Lanting Collection Preface, in fact, there was such a father who loved calligraphy, and she was also very obsessed with calligraphy, but she never thought that the Lanting Collection Preface would appear in front of her like this, seeing Changle stunned there, Li Yong was also a little embarrassed, how much Li Er longed for the Lanting Collection Preface, who in the court didn't know? And Li Er's hard-working Lanting set preface post was hidden here in his son-in-law, as if he Li Yong was stingy and reluctant to dedicate the Lanting set preface to Li Er, Li Yong coughed dryly at that time and explained, saying that this Lanting set preface was newly discovered by him, and was about to find a time to dedicate it to the saint, what made Li Yong dumbfounded, Changle shook his head slightly, pursed his lips and said This is a real heirloom! This is obviously reluctant, Li Yong finally really realized what it means to be an extrovert for a girl, Li Yong's face was not red and his eyes were not jumping, and he smiled.
"The minister thinks that this Lanting Collection Preface must have been collected by someone, and it is not revealed."
Li Er didn't have a good airway.
"Of course, otherwise how could I never find the preface to the Lanting Collection? Moreover, it is speculated that it is likely that someone from the family hid the Lanting Collection preface, otherwise, if anyone presents the Lanting Collection Preface, what if he is rewarded with a knighthood? ”
Li Yong nodded.
"The saint is right, it is very likely that he is from the family!"
"This group of dogs, sooner or later, I can't spare them!"
Li Er said angrily.
Li Yong nodded again and again, anyway, it's nothing to do with me?
"Come on, let's see how this one is written!"
Li Er beckoned, Li Yong stepped forward to take a look, now his calligraphy attainments are very deep, so his vision is naturally good, how do you say Li Er's words, it is quite similar, but it is too imitative, but it has no spirit of its own, and the eldest grandson queen smiled.
"Li Yong, do you think that the words of this palace and the words of the saints are well written?"
"Of course it's the queen's mother!"
Li Yong blurted out, Li Er's painting is of course very good, but he can't stand the beauty of the head of the family, Queen Sun, Li Er glanced at Li Yong obliquely, and asked.
"Do you think so-and-so is not well written?"
Li Yong coughed dryly.
"Because the calligraphy of the saint is excellent, the calligraphy is relatively unremarkable."
Hearing Li Yong's words, Li Er ironed a lot in his heart and said with a smile.
"By the way, did you enter the palace today?"
Empress Eldest Sun said angrily.
"Look at what the sage said, you can't enter the palace if you have nothing to do?"
Li Er coughed dryly.
"Didn't you want to ask if there was anything serious?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"The minister really has something to report to the saint when he enters the palace, and the minister has a letter here, please ask the saint to read it!"
While speaking, Li Yong took out a letter from his arms, a letter? Li Er was surprised when he heard this, what does this mean? Could it be that Li Yong is going to report to anyone? Li Yong doesn't seem to be such a person! So far, Li Yong really hasn't reported to anyone, and it didn't take the prince's special trip, Li Er directly took two steps forward to take the letter in Li Yong's hand, and then spread it out curiously.
