Chapter 603: Their Hearts Are Worried
The more the old gentleman spoke, the more excited he became, and Zhang Yang then poured tea, "Does the old gentleman want His Majesty to conquer Goguryeo?" β
Wen Yanbo looked up at the sky, "The bones of the soldiers must be returned." β
"I can ask the Ministry of Rites to write a letter and send it to Goguryeo, and order Goguryeo to return the bones."
"What if they are not naturalized?"
"Then there will be a reason for war."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said: "If you want to start a war in Goguryeo, the DPRK and China will inevitably cause criticism, and at that time you will have to send troops, not to mention the generals, now the Western Regions have only been decided, the population has not yet been filled, and there are still soldiers and horses in the Anxi capital to protect the palace, Mobei is only then pacified, how to start a war?" β
Zhang Yang had a kind smile on his face, shaking the pu fan in his hand, still thinking.
Li Tai looked at his brother-in-law's calm and relaxed appearance, and walked into the distance, but he couldn't listen to what the old gentleman and his brother-in-law were talking about, and he didn't want to listen
didn't want to live up to his brother-in-law's trust, couldn't hide it from his father, and didn't want to tell a lie in front of his father, Li Tai had no choice but to avoid it.
With a few of his guards, he hid as far away as possible, standing in the pipe, intending not to listen to the conversation between the two before his brother-in-law called him.
Zhang Yang listened to the other party's words and nodded, "There are bound to be people in the DPRK and China who will advise, and if they start a war rashly, they will inevitably criticize and obstruct, and the old gentleman is right." β
Wen Yanbo nodded solemnly, "So what?"
"First of all, it is not necessary to go through the resolution of the DPRK and China to start a war, we have arranged an envoy in Goguryeo, Li Yifu is now in the Goguryeo royal family, and Da'an is also vigorously governing the people's livelihood in Liaodong."
After a pause, Zhang Yang continued: "Judging from the information we have learned from the Foreign Affairs Yuan, the Goguryeo royal family is in internal fighting, and the generals who hold the military power and the royal family have seized power, and such contradictions have reached the point of no return, and it is only a matter of time before there will be turmoil. β
Wen Yanbo hesitated for a moment, frowned and asked again, "There is a civil strife in Goguryeo, what should you do to recall the envoy?" Or pass the news to the DPRK and let the DPRK and China lead troops to quell the civil strife? β
The old gentleman looked at the tea bowl in front of him and hesitated for a moment, "Even if you go to Goguryeo to quell the rebellion, the DPRK and China will not necessarily send troops there, as far as the old man knows, there are still people in the DPRK who are in charge of the rebellion, not to mention Goguryeo, which is far away in Liaodong, such a great opportunity is in front of them, and they still will not approve of sending troops." β
The matter of the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong is indeed very complicated, not to mention that the DPRK and China have never prepared for Liaodong in recent years, even if they want to go eastward, it will be a later story.
"The old man thinks that although your Foreign Affairs Institute has arranged manpower, even if the time and place are favorable, they will look forward and backward, and launch the Eastern Expedition to work and lose money.
Mr. Wen Yanbo seems to be a pessimistic person, judging from what he has experienced in half his life, he should indeed be pessimistic, and the ups and downs of his life are too great.
Sometimes pessimism is not necessarily a bad thing, at least the worst can be expected.
"What do you think of what the old man said?"
Zhang Yang sat cross-legged, put his hands in his sleeves and whispered: "First of all, there is a civil strife in Goguryeo, Li Yifu must be in it, and our Foreign Affairs Yuan will not stand idly by, and Da'an has been fighting in Liaodong for three or two years, not to mention tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but also three or five thousand, as long as the command is appropriate, this kind of thing to sweep Goguryeo is not a problem." β
Wen Yanbo said again: "Da'an is in Liaodong, naturally he can't ignore the turmoil in Goguryeo, he privately led troops to attack Goguryeo, it's just a long history, he sent troops to attack Goguryeo without authorization, and the court and the central government are accountable, whether it is the Marquis of Lishan County or the Foreign Yuan, it is difficult to escape the blame, although your head will not fall to the ground, but all the authority of the Foreign Yuan will be sidelined, and many years of operation will be ruined." β
The sky was gradually overcast, a trade wind blew, the thin clothes were hunting, and a few drops of rain fell on me.
The servant wanted to put on a robe for the old gentleman, but Wen Yanbo waved his hand to stop him, staring at the young Shangshu who was less than thirty years old in front of him.
Zhang Yang's expression was troubled, "The old gentleman's words are good, but I don't want Da'an to attack Goguryeo, once Goguryeo is in turmoil, it will take a month for the news to be delivered to Guanzhong at the earliest, and Li Yifu is bound to worry about his life in this turmoil. What happened on the way to save people is another matter. β
"Da'an took the soldiers and horses to save people, and took the capital of Goguryeo by the way, that is also to save people, or the Goguryeo people all surrendered, and all the four counties of Goguryeo changed hands, this is also to save people, not to send troops to fight, but on the way to save people, Goguryeo was accidentally defeated, which is a helpless thing."
Wen Yanbo was silent for a long time, and then said: "What you said is reasonable, how sure are you in Chang'an City that you can expect that there will be turmoil in Goguryeo." β
Zhang Yang lowered his voice, "Old man, Li Yifu has been in Goguryeo for three years, and the Goguryeo royal family and the generals have long been on the same footing, so doesn't Li Yifu do nothing in Goguryeo as an envoy?" What was the purpose of his departure to Liaodong? He will be fanning the flames in secret as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and this matter is not difficult for him. β
Slowly stood up, looked up at the sky, the drizzle was falling, the rain was not strong, but it was very cold.
The old gentleman reached out and suddenly grabbed Zhang Yang's arm.
The strength of the other party is very strong, and you can even feel the thin fingers of the other party.
Wen Yanbo coughed twice when the cold wind blew, and he said slowly: "Zhang Da'an can't rely on Zhang Da'an alone in this matter, the soldiers and horses in his hands are not enough, and there is only a five-point chance of winning Goguryeo at most, and the old man still has some protΓ©gΓ©s in the Central Plains, as long as he writes a letter, he can also pull out an army of nearly a thousand people, and the old protΓ©gΓ©s are also far-sighted and talented, they can help Liaodong, what do you think?" β
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
When the words were excited, Wen Yanbo coughed violently again.
The wrist was still grabbed by the old man, Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, but all this has to be arranged by Da'an." β
Wen Yanbo finally let go, "The old decay is already before the twilight, and when you take Goguryeo in the future, you will burn a letter in front of the grave, so that the old decay will also know." β
The old gentleman staggered two steps, and before he could reach the wheelchair, he fell to the ground as soon as his steps were weak, and he fell unconscious on the spot.
"Old sir! Old gentleman! The servant fell to his knees and shouted.
Ignoring the rain falling on his body, Zhang Yang stepped forward to probe his breathing, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Out of gas?" β
"Save the old man." The servant knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Please ask the county marquis to save the old gentleman." β
It's not surprising when he's going to die at his age.
But suddenly, the old gentleman, who had stopped breathing for a while, slowly opened his eyes again, and he asked in a trance: "What time is it, where is the old man?" β
Listening to the old gentleman's speech again, the servant hurriedly helped him to sit in a wheelchair and put on a robe for the old gentleman.
At this moment, Wen Yanbo's eyes were very confused, and she said slowly: "Why is it raining in this Shuofang?" β
The servant looked at this scene with tears in his eyes, "Old man, this is not Shuofang, this is Chang'an, the boundary of Lishan Mountain." β
"Lishan? How can the old decay be in Lishan. β
After the words were spoken, he fell asleep again.
Seeing that the old gentleman's state was not right, Zhang Yang shouted to Li Tai: "His Royal Highness King Wei, send the old gentleman to the hospital." β
Li Tai came in a panic and ran quickly with someone, the old gentleman was awake for a moment, and just sat down and fell asleep again, but fortunately this time he was still breathing.
Zhang Yang personally carried the old gentleman on his back and ran towards the medical hall in Lishan, the current medical hall is no longer the original single family, the Lishan medical hall has begun to take shape, with more than 30 doctors, more than 50 apprentices, can accommodate hundreds of patients, is in Lishan covers an area of three acres of compound.
Sun Simiao was compiling the medicine scripture, and when he heard hurried footsteps, he slowly raised his head.
Seeing that it was Zhang Yang who walked into the room carrying the old gentleman on his back, Sun Simiao frowned and got up.
The servant on the side was only fifteen or sixteen, and he was crying with tears and snot at this time.
"Do you say that Jieli is dead or alive......" the old gentleman said again.
It was already delirious, and everyone looked worried.
Sun Simiao said in a low voice: "Please also ask the county marquis to take someone to wait outside the house, so that Poor Dao can take a good look." β
Everyone exited the room, and Li Tai asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, the old gentleman is weird, what's wrong with him?" β
Zhang Yang walked to the door and sat down on the stone steps, "The old gentleman is so old, maybe it's delirium, I saw this kind of patient when I was a child." β
"What is delirium?"
"An acute condition that is usually unconscious and has a confused memory." Zhang Yang looked at the rain in distress, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.
After an hour, Doctor Sun finally opened the door, and the servant was the first to walk in, he knelt on the ground, and whispered: "Old sir, old sir? β
Wen Yanbo closed his eyes and nodded, "What about Zhang Yang?" β
Seeing that the old gentleman was finally normal, the servant wiped away his tears, and Zhang Yang walked in with Li Tai.
"Prepare pen and ink, and write a letter to the old man."
Wen Yanbo held the pen and wrote tremblingly with one hand, and Li Tai took the pen and paper, "Old gentleman, please speak, this king will write on his behalf." β
"Hmm." Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "My son Wen Ting, seeing this letter is like seeing me, Liaodong is the Chang'an Foreign Affairs Academy, and you lead the old man with 500 protΓ©gΓ©s, with 3,000 soldiers and horses from Hebei and Shuofang, to serve Zhang Da'an in Liaodong, if you have any doubts and ask Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if you bring people to Liaodong to listen to Zhang Da'an's orders, and wait for all the places in Goguryeo to return to the Central Plains, and the descendants of the three generations of the old and decrepit lineage will all listen to the orders of Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. β
"If the old man dies, there is no need to mourn, and he is buried in the ...... of Zhongnan Mountain"
After Li Tai wrote a letter, writing this kind of aftermath is the most heart-heavy.
Zhang Yang stood beside Sun Simiao, "How is the old gentleman's condition?" β
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said: "In the future, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, need someone to take care of, and can't leave people, he is old, he can no longer use medicine, and people will take care of him in the future, as short as three or five months, as long as one or two years, this is the number of fate." β
"Is there any hope of healing?"
Sun Simiao sighed, "Lishan is secluded, far away from the hustle and bustle, suitable for the old gentleman to recuperate, and Poor Dao arranges one or two people to take care of him." β
Zhang Yang bowed his hand, "There is a miracle doctor of Laosun." β
"It can only be like this, Poor Dao pricked his Tianchong acupoint with a silver needle, so that he can sober up for a while, so as to teach him to explain the future, and he can easily use needles in the future, this kind of momentary recovery, the greater the burden on him, it will only make the condition more and more serious."
The servant behind him had already cried into a tearful man, and he choked up and fell to his knees again.
Sun Simiao bowed his head and said: "You are his servant, and you are also his close person, stay here to take care of him, let his relatives come to see him in the future, his time is running out." β
"The villain understands."
When he left, the old gentleman fell into a state of confusion again, saying that in the past, he thought that the servant next to him was his son.
Leaving the old gentleman to be taken care of by Doctor Sun, Zhang Yang and Li Tai were in a heavy mood when they walked out of the medical hall.
"Brother-in-law, will the imperial grandfather be like this?"
Hearing Li Tai's sudden question, Zhang Yang explained: "His Royal Highness King Wei can rest assured, this illness is related to the psychological condition of the old man, and the Emperor Taishang is an optimistic person, and his body is still strong. β
Li Tai nodded and said, "Well, I will take good care of Grandpa Huang." β
Returning to Lishan alone, Zhang Yang was in a very bad mood, with pain and incomprehension in his eyes, watching the autumn rain fall in front of him and fall in Huaqing Pond.
Li Yue put down the scroll and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" β
"I saw Mr. Wen Yanbo, but the old man suddenly fell seriously ill." Zhang Yang let out a long sigh, "Daughter-in-law, ......"
"Hmm." Li Yue answered, took her husband's arm, and her slender fingers helped him sort out some scattered sideburns.
The couple leaned against each other and sat on the recliner.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Sometimes I also think about being a rich man like this, but I have seen every old man who is persuading me that I should not do nothing, they always feel that I should carry the social work, and I should stand up for the social service." β
Li Yue smiled softly: "Everyone's ability is limited, some people can rule the world, some people can lead the army to fight, but the old man's experience makes people hesitate, when everything calms down, in the wind and rain, stick to the original intention." β
It's tiring to be a person who cares about the world, Zhang Yang looked at the rain scene in front of him and was silent without saying a word.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and even lying under the eaves, there will still be a little rain falling on you.
After meeting Wen Yanbo, the matter of Liaodong fell on him like a mission.
Whether it is Wang Qi or Wen Yanbo, these old gentlemen are also mortals, even if they are already old and seriously ill, they still do not forget their persistence.
These people are alive as if they are carrying their family and country on their shoulders, and Wen Yanbo is still worried about Liaodong and when the bones of those soldiers who stayed in Goguryeo will be able to return home.
Wang Qi is worried about when the gate valves of those ancient families will no longer poison the Central Plains, his old man can distinguish turbidity, can fight evil, can reward good, has deep ambitions, and does not value fame and fortune.
Let Li Shimin speak widely, and later took over as a high-ranking official, revised the "Five Rites" and withdrew from the court due to old age.
Even after leaving Chang'an, he still has to think about the affairs of the family and the imperial examination.
Only now do I feel that their time has passed, and now it is ten years of Zhenguan, and this land has been renewed.
These two are stubborn old men, stubborn to the point of unreasonableness, Zhang Yang's mood is incomprehensibly heavy, and the sense of sleepiness strikes, seeing that the daughter-in-law in his arms has fallen asleep.
The couple lay on the recliner together as they did when they were children.
None of them are children, and it seems that this chair is very crowded.
I will take a leave of absence for a chapter today.
The updates that are owed.,I'll find time to make up for it.,Count the updates that the alliance leader owes.,Plus today's total of eight chapters.γ
Well, I'll find a chance to make up for it.
