Chapter 602: The old gentleman is obsessed with it
The emperor sat down again, he looked at the position where Wen Yanbo was sitting just now, and said in a deep voice: "Bring all the pieces related to Liaodong." ”
"Whoa."
Let's say what Wen Yanbo said to His Majesty this time, whether His Majesty will adopt it or not, even if it is a discussion between the DPRK and China, launching the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has Yang Guang's experience.
There is also talk in the market, this matter is very difficult to do.
If you don't go to Goguryeo, you can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it.
But Goguryeo is there, and it will not disappear, it will always be seen, it will always be mentioned.
Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji helped the old man to the door of Shangshu Province.
His Majesty gave this old gentleman the position of servant, no different from the prime minister.
But this is just a fictitious title, there is no real power, Shangshu Province is an empty shelf, but it is this day Khan who worships Wen Yanbo as a servant, which is enough to show the importance and respect.
If it hadn't been for Wen Yanbo's persuasion to surrender Luo Yi, it would not have been easy to recover the land of Liaodong back then.
The door to Shangshu Province was closed and locked.
Zhang Yang didn't come to the DPRK these days, and it has always been like this here.
Fang Xuanling let the guard unlock it, pushed open the old door, and helped the old gentleman into it, when he touched him, he could also feel that the old gentleman was skinny and light.
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and his heart was full of emotion.
Back then, he and Wei Zheng argued in the court, and that was also a time of high spirits.
Wen Yanbo looked at this Shangshu Province, and he said slowly: "Has anyone been cleaning here?" ”
Fang Xuanling replied: "There is another person in Shangshu Province, he is now Hou Zhangyang of Lishan County, but this person has a strange temperament, and he has rarely come to the court since the beginning of the year, saying that he is seriously ill at a young age. ”
Hearing this name, Wen Yanbo nodded, "Although the old man has been in Shuofang for several years, he often hears about him. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, "This son helped the court to recover the Hexi Corridor, and was reused by His Majesty, and he was among the six official scholars, and among the young people in Chang'an City, he was the most talented person." ”
Wen Yanbo smiled, "There is a lot of talk about this young man, and the old man has heard of it, before he came to Chang'an City, he went to see Wang Qi, he talked about this kid, saying that he is like a child?" ”
There are many comments about Zhang Yang, some good and some bad.
The two of them didn't know how to answer this, so they only heard Wen Yanbo say again: "This Shangshu Province is very well cleaned up, um!" The old man is old, and when he walked into Chang'an City, he felt that nothing had changed, but now he has changed at a glance, and he no longer knows how old he has become. ”
The old man said and walked out again, and the high-ranking officials of Shangshu, Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, were sent all the way to Chengtian Gate.
Looking at the old man's back rickety, walking and staggering, I don't know how many years he can live, this time he came to Chang'an after all, he still talked about Goguryeo.
Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo returned with a feather, and the national and civil power almost collapsed.
The matter of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has almost become taboo, and the people in the court and China have almost forgotten about it.
The old gentleman talked about this matter again, and this matter was mentioned again, Fang Xuanling sighed: "There will be another storm in the court." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji is more concerned about His Majesty's appointment, in his opinion, His Majesty has appointed this old gentleman to Shangshu Province, although Shangshu Province is just an empty shelf, except for this old gentleman, there is only Zhang Yang.
The official residence of an old man and a young man, Zhang Yang has lived in Lishan for a long time and has long been free of government affairs, and even the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are presided over by Zhang Daxiang and Xu Jingzong.
His Majesty's intentions are also obvious, and he also hopes that someone can manage Zhang Yang.
And this old gentleman is just right.
Wen Yanbo found a place to live in Chang'an City, and the servant came with a letter, "Old man, Lishan has sent a letter." ”
Wen Yanbo smiled, "That young man from Lishan didn't come in person, but he asked someone to deliver a letter." ”
The old hand took the letter roll, brushed through the rough paper, opened the letter and looked at its contents.
After a while, he said in a low voice: "Go and tell the person who sent the letter that the old man will go to Lishan early tomorrow morning to meet." ”
"The old gentleman has traveled a long way to see him, so it is better to recuperate for three or two days and then go to see him."
"Nope." Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "What Wang Qi said, the old man wants to ask him personally, and he doesn't know how long he will live, go and see it, it's early to see it." ”
Lishan, when Aunt Wang came back with a message, it was already night.
Zhang Yang sat in Huaqing Pond and listened to his aunt's narration that His Majesty had appointed him to be a servant of Shangshu Province, and he was regarded as his own official.
The old man is very old, three out of sixty.
"Trouble auntie, I'll arrange it tomorrow."
Inside the house, Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui patiently taught Xiao Qingqing how to hold a pen and write, Li Yue sat by the oil lamp and looked at the scroll in his hand, and Li Tai's people sent the rest of Zhang Heng's "Reckoning Theory".
The war has left many classics scattered throughout Guanzhong.
Zhang Heng's algorithm for calculating the changes of the stars is very interesting, and Li Yue has been studying this matter since he was free recently.
Late at night, Xiao Wu and Xu Hui took Xiao Qingqing to sleep.
Walking to his daughter-in-law's table, Zhang Yang smiled: "Can you understand?" ”
Li Yue put down the pen and relaxed his wrist, "It's hard to understand, but there are many inferences based on the armillary sphere, if you have an armillary sphere, maybe it can be easier to calculate." ”
The armillary sphere is like a calculation tool that can be used to calculate the star calendar.
"I'll go make an armillary sphere when I have time."
"What?"
Li Yue was stunned.
Zhang Yang laughed and blew out the oil lamp, "It's time to rest late at night." ”
……
As soon as the sky was bright, Zhang Yang came to the gate of Li Tai's courtyard and woke up the fat man who was still sleeping.
"Ahh The deception is too great, this king and you are fighting! ”
Li Tai, who was disturbed by his dream, roared loudly in anger.
Zhang Yang stood in front of the door, "There is something to ask His Royal Highness King Wei to help and go to Chang'an City to pick up someone." ”
Li Tai, who was about to go berserk, was disheveled, and the cold wind outside the door blew in to calm his anger when he got up, and he gritted his teeth and popped out a word, "Who?" ”
"Yu Guogong Wen Yanbo."
"Who?" Li Tai's tone was a few points higher.
"Well, that's him."
While wearing his clothes, Li Tai wondered: "Isn't this old man in Shuofang?" Are you old enough to go back to Chang'an? ”
"Said that he came back to report on his work, Mr. Wang Qi sent a letter, for the sake of Liaodong's plan, I had to see him, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Wei to send someone to Chang'an City to pick up people, the old man is old, we will set up a banquet on the official road at the entrance of the village."
Li Tai lifted his legs and wore boots, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"I only learned last night that I received a message from the old gentleman."
Li Tai put on his coat again and walked out of the door, "I heard that this old gentleman has a bad temper, and he often quarreled with Zheng Gong in the main hall back then. ”
"Well, I've heard of it."
Before the day was completely bright, Zhang Yang and Li Tai came to the official road not far from the entrance of the village, set up a few tables here, knew that the old gentleman had a bad leg and foot, and prepared a wheelchair for gift.
"Sending gold and silver things, maybe the old gentleman is unwilling, and I don't know how the old gentleman can avoid eating if you want to send food, this wheelchair is very good."
Li Tai agrees with his brother-in-law's clever behavior, and his brother-in-law's sophistication and smoothness have always been the same in terms of gift-giving and treating people.
This is a high slope, from which you can see the business travelers coming and going on the official road, and the noise of the official road can not affect the place.
Li Tai waved to the carriage and signaled that it was coming here.
The carriage changed direction, turned off the official road, and came to this high slope.
In order to invite the old gentleman to come, he specially asked people to go to Chang'an City and invite the old gentleman to his residence.
Thinking of Wang Jue's instructions in the letter, Zhang Yang went to the carriage and saluted, "The Hou of Lishan County has seen the old man. ”
Li Tai also saluted, "I've seen the old man." ”
Wen Yanbo was helped out of the carriage, and the muddy old eyes looked at the two people in front of him, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, and said: "Who is Zhang Yang?" ”
Li Tai lowered his head, stretched out his hand and pointed quietly, "Mr. Hui, this is the Marquis of Lishan County, the brother-in-law of this king, Zhang Yang." ”
Wen Yanbo sighed: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Wei is far more intelligent than his peers, how can he live in Lishan now, but he does not return to Chang'an City. ”
Li Tai still lowered his head, "Recuperate." ”
"Well, I heard that Sun Simiao is also in Lishan."
As he spoke, Zhang Yang looked at the old man, and the old man was also looking at himself.
"When passing through Taiyuan, Wang Jue said to you, I didn't expect you to be so young, what age?"
Zhang Yang said respectfully: "Six out of twenty." ”
"Well, before the age of thirty is famous, there are young heroes in the world, and there are late bloomers, if you say that young people are famous all over the world, there are always so many people who died young."
Zhang Yang wanted to speak and stopped, why did this old man say this as soon as they met? Obviously, I have never met before, and I have never offended.
Thinking about these things first, he pushed the wheelchair to the front, Zhang Yang explained: "This is a chair made by Lishan himself, knowing that the old gentleman's legs and feet are inconvenient, and it can be much lighter to sit in a wheelchair." ”
Wen Yanbo didn't refuse, and immediately sat down and felt the wheelchair, "Well, good craftsmanship." ”
"In this way, I don't need to be supported by others, and I can take care of my own life in a wheelchair, which may be inconvenient, but I also have to get up and move around from time to time."
"Well, I heard that you have a good craft, and that you know how to heal, and now it seems that these rumors are correct."
"Let the old gentleman smile." Zhang Yang invited: "I have prepared some meals, and I hope you don't want to dislike them." ”
Let the servant push the wheelchair, Wen Yanbo looked at the dishes on a square table, he didn't have to eat even if he got up early, his old hand was still a little trembling, and he picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge, "Well, the saltiness of the porridge is very suitable." ”
At this age, the old gentleman ate less and slept less, and the servants were dumbfounded when they saw the old gentleman finish drinking this bowl of porridge.
Sudden rise? Or is this porridge really so delicious?
Zhang Yang sat down and handed over the letter sent by Wang Qi, "The old gentleman is for Liaodong's affairs?" ”
"Looks like he's written to you."
"Well, Mr. Wang Jue also said that he would go to Zhongnan Mountain."
"Do you want to go to Zhongnan Mountain to die alone?" Wen Yanbo bowed his head and said: "It's something that his temperament will do." ”
"Isn't that right? He should return to his hometown, how can he die alone in Zhongnan Mountain? ”
"It's all an old man who is about to die, others can't see it, can't the old man understand it?"
Seeing his sad face, Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "People who are dying talk like this, which makes you laugh." ”
Perhaps it was Zhang Yang's speech and demeanor that were very affinity, and he was not limited to etiquette, which made the old gentleman laugh and talk like this, and the servant had not seen the old gentleman's smile for a long time.
Zhang Yang poured him a bowl of tea, and was worried about Wang Jue's situation.
"Are you Zhang Gongjin's disciple?"
"Hmm."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said: "It's strange, Zhang Gongjin is such a gloomy strategist, and his disciple is so kind-faced. ”
"I only joined the teacher when I was 20 years old, and I have always been a very kind person."
Li Tai wants to laugh but doesn't want to show too much in his look, brother-in-law is kind? The bones of King Gaochang's father and son are not cold, and Tuyuhun is still kind to so many people who have died? What kind of world is this?
"Zhang Gongjin was also quite famous among the heroes in the world back then, but his reputation was not good, and this person was good at intrigue and trickery."
People like Wen Yanbo and teachers are obviously not on the same path, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to refute what he said.
Everyone is for Datang, and the same is true for the old gentleman and teacher.
There are more people who have the same goal and different ways and do not conspire with each other.
"There is a young man named Zhang Da'an in Liaodong, you arranged it?"
"Mr. Hui, Da'an is the teacher's son, he went to Liaodong not in the next arrangement, he took the initiative to go, he said that Liaodong is actually a rich land, but it has been neglected for a long time, it will be rumored to be a bitter cold place, going to Liaodong is his own choice, I try my best to give him the greatest help."
Wen Yanbo sighed, "Yes, Liaodong has always been a rich land, when the old man was in Liaodong for those years, he hated the turbulent situation, and he thought that thousands of people persuaded Luo Yi to surrender Li Tang, after the Central Plains was pacified, I thought that they would govern Liaodong, but the Tang Dynasty was unable to be distracted by internal and external troubles. ”
"Now His Majesty is respected as the Khan of the Heavens, and finally someone has seen Liaodong, the old man is pleased, but he is also bitter in his heart, there are only a few people who can see Liaodong, and the old man asks you again, what do you think of Liaodong."
Zhang Yang shook the pu fan in his hand, "Liaodong has always been a rich place, its location is very important to the Central Plains, Liaodong is a barrier, the loss of Liaodong war will sweep all over Youzhou, Hebei, Hedong will also be involved in the war, into Liaodong is a horse Pingchuan and no longer have natural dangers to defend." ”
"For Guanzhong, it is the Hangu Pass in the Qin period, the current Hexi Corridor, and the springboard for the conquest of Dongyi in the future."
Wen Yanbo's eyes stared at him, his old and weak hands clenched into fists, and he took a deep breath, "The Central Plains can't ignore Liaodong. ”
"I think the same thing as the old gentleman on this point."
"When Lao Yu and His Majesty talk about the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, they always put it on the table, and now there is someone who can have the same vision as Lao Yu." Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said: "You can also die and be blind." ”
"It's better for the old gentleman to come to Lishan to care for the elderly, and you can also let Doctor Sun take care of the old gentleman's body." Li Tai said at the right time.
"Nope." Wen Yanbo waved his hand and said: "The old man's body is already so old, the medicine stone is useless, and he can last until this year because of the concern in his heart. Their bones have not yet returned to their homeland. ”
