Chapter 828: Nanzhao's Unfinished Business
Xu Yushi couldn't get used to Yuan Gongyu's style, "Although Gongyu is older than Zaixia, he understands that people who cling to him will often be abandoned." ”
Yuan Gongyu asked rhetorically: "You Jianghuai people are always very conceited. ”
"Gongyu was born in the Henan Shi clan, don't you understand the truth?"
Yuan Gongyu didn't want to argue with the other party, since he couldn't talk about going together, it was a big deal that everyone went their separate ways after the imperial examination.
The two returned to their respective teams and went to Chang'an after the rain stopped.
And their roster was also sent to Lishan by Xu Jingzong early, in order to select candidates for this year's Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Yang sat on the edge of Huaqing Pond and looked at the bear, this bear does not like rainy days the most, every rainy day it will sit under the eaves and sniff with its nose, waiting for the rain to stop.
Xiaohui intimately handed over the tea, "Master drinks tea, and the teacher tells the spring rain to be cold, don't catch a cold." ”
Zhang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "I know." ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Hui nodded heavily, looked up and saw that this bamboo pavilion was quite solid, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingqing is still worried that this bamboo pavilion will be eaten by pandas." ”
After that, she ran back to the library with her sleeves to cover the rain, and she didn't care about her shoes being wet from the rain.
Zhang Yang saw the names of Yuan Gongyu and Xu Yushi.
In history, Yuan Gongyu and Xu Jingzong were not good people, and it was also because of the struggle for power between Empress Wu and the eldest grandson Wuji in history that this person was able to leave his name, and Zhang Yang had some impressions of this person.
And Xu Yushi is not bad, I remember this person's name because his granddaughter was Li Bai's first wife that year.
It was introduced by Meng Haoran, and Mrs. Xu was also famous in the annals of history.
Before he knew it, it was already this year, and Zhang Yang sighed that time passed quickly, and some things were felt in his heart.
There is always some stubbornness in wanting to keep some regrets that didn't happen.
It is now the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, which should be the beginning of the Haoran poems of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the era when legendary figures are about to appear.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Yang raised the pen to circle these two names and put them in the Ministry of Rites, hoping that Xu Jingzong could fight for it.
After doing this, he handed the roster to Aunt Wang on the side, and said, "After the rain stops, Auntie will return this roster to the Ministry of Rites." ”
"Whoa."
The gray hair of the two aunts is getting more and more year by year, and the children are getting taller and taller year by year, but the two aunts are getting older and older year by year.
Zhang Yang sat under the bamboo pavilion drinking tea, watching the rain fall in Huaqing Pond.
This spring rain fell for a day and a night, and as the secretary of Taifu Temple, Zhang Yang still wrote a piece of music and asked his aunt to send the roster with the song.
What is said in the chapter is that Taifu Temple is worried that this year's Guanzhong will be a drought year, so that Chang'an City will store more water.
And this year you can't open too many ditches, the more you open up, the lower the water level of the riverbed.
There was no reply when the song was sent to the court, and I heard my aunt explain that the court was preparing for the imperial examination.
Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
When the spring rain stopped, Brother Why's letter was finally delivered, and from last winter to now, there was finally news of him.
The letter stated that he had arrived in Liaodong, and that he had probably arrived in Baekje to meet Wen Ting from the time he saw the letter in Yeosan, and that he was able to hide his identity because he was hiding in the ranks of Silla's envoys.
After giving Kim Chun-chung some silver money, the Silla envoy was glad to show him the way to Baekje.
Zhang Yang suddenly smiled, he didn't expect these two people to be able to walk together.
After receiving the letter from Brother He Bi, Zhang Yang's mood also improved a lot, and he put the letter on the shaking oil lamp and let it burn quietly.
Li Tai's family and Li Yuan came.
Today's Li Tai was finally able to take a day off, and he was busy with the affairs of Lishan Technical College in the past two days, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
Finally, when the rainy day came, no villagers came to study again.
Dishes were placed on the stone table on the bamboo pavilion.
Li Yuan and Li Tai looked up and down, "The last time I came, I didn't see such a bamboo pavilion on Huaqing Pond, this is your new one?" ”
Zhang Yang heard this: "There are some old bamboos in the south of Lishan, I cut some to make bamboo pavilions, the old bamboo is difficult to grow new bamboo without cutting it off, and in order to grow more bamboo shoots, there is only such a place where Lishan grows bamboo, I don't want the old bamboo to over-consume land nutrients, which will make the new bamboo grow bad." ”
Li Tai completely ignored these words, and devoured the food in front of him, especially the pot of sauced beef that had already been eaten by him.
Zhang Yang only took out some sauced beef from the jar and said with a smile: "I prepared enough last year, I can eat more this year." ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Li Tai nodded as he ate.
The fat man ate quickly and was full quickly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and let out a sigh of joy.
That is, Princess Wei is still learning to cook, and Lishan's dishes pay attention to heat seasoning, where is it as simple as ordinary people.
In many cases, it is Li Tai who cooks it himself.
Li Yuan looked at it for a long time, sat down at the stone table, and said, "I heard that after Zhang Gongjin passed away, Gao Shilian also had a serious illness. ”
Li Tai wiped his mouth and nodded: "People will get sick when they get old, and the imperial grandfather should also pay attention to his body." ”
Li Yuan picked up a piece of mutton chop from the basin, savored it and said: "It is said that the method of explaining cattle is a butcher's skill, which can divide the flesh and bones of the livestock into dozens of parts without destroying the meat quality of the livestock, and this mutton can be slaughtered so orderly." ”
"I'm often curious about how your kid can learn such a way to solve the cow with all his skills."
Li Tai said again: "Grandpa Huang doesn't know, in fact, a chicken can be divided into several parts, and this king will too." ”
looked at Zhang Yang, and then at Li Tai.
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm so idle here, I'm afraid that Erlang and Chengqian are too busy to eat and sleep." ”
It was precisely in this way that Zhang Yang found that he had not replied to the recital he had submitted for a long time, that is, the court and the central government were too busy to cope with the spring affairs.
The functions of officials at all levels of the court were not divided in detail, which made the huge and complicated matters not handled in detail.
I also thought about asking the emperor to strip the Taifu Temple out, otherwise it would be too inefficient to report everything to the court.
It would be even better if Taifu Temple could be self-determined and self-reliant.
At the beginning, the matter of the Ministry of Rites was to seek power from the court, and he couldn't Changsun Wuji make another bet with himself?
Zhao Guogong probably couldn't pull this face.
Even if it is troublesome, it is a matter of the court, and it has nothing to do with Lishan.
When the three of them were sitting in the bamboo pavilion and eating, it was drizzling in the sky after a while.
After a meal, Li Tai took the test for his younger brothers and sisters to learn today, and this summer Li Yue will take an exam, which determines whether they can graduate from Lishan.
There are three aspects of the school examination, physical education, mathematics, and essays.
The only ones who can take the exam are Gao Yang, Qinghe and Dongyang.
As for whether the three of them will return to the palace or continue to stay here, it is up to them to decide.
Because all three children are fifteen years old.
If they want to stay, they have to arrange their own room in the mountains.
After the meal, Li Yuan lay down in the bamboo pavilion and took a nap.
Zhang Yang received two more letters, one was sent by Yuan Tiangang, and Yuan Daochang said that he was going to retreat again.
Another letter was sent from the Hexi Corridor, and Di Zhixun first inquired about Di Renjie's recent situation in Chang'an City, and also explained the situation in Yangshatian in the northwest this year.
On the day of May of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the imperial examination of the DPRK and China was imminent, and people were waiting for a fresh wind to blow through the pass.
On this day, another group of people came from outside Lishan Village, they were the rangers who followed why bother to capture Nanzhao back then.
After going back to visit the village and his family in the winter, he gathered outside Lishan Village at this time.
There is also the Longwu Army stationed outside Lishan Village, and these rangers are not afraid of things.
Zhang Yang personally met them and saluted everyone: "I don't know what you want, if you want money, you can open your mouth." ”
Several people looked at each other, led by a strong man who had sent a letter to Lishan, and he saluted and said: "I have nowhere to go when I return to my hometown, and I ask the county marquis to find a place for us to go." ”
After the spring rain in Guanzhong in May, the weather is hot again.
Zhang Yang stood with his hands in his hands and asked: "If you want to enter the Zhichong Mansion, a certain family can recommend it to the army, and if you want to fight, you can also go to Persia, I will protect you, and I also have some friendship with the British duke." ”
"Back to the county marquis, why bother the general said that he wanted to capture Jiaozhi, the things of the year have not been done, we want to take the Nanzhao soldiers and horses to attack, if this matter can be successful, I hope that the county marquis will be completed and I will stand on my own in Jiaozhi, and I am willing to hand over real estate to Lishan."
Zhang Yang didn't know what kind of person they wanted to become, and they all looked like heroes with thin righteousness.
"Don't you want to stay in Guanzhong?"
"I have already handed over the money to my wife and children at home, and I have no worries at this time."
"It's the same with a certain family, I went to Nanzhao for two years and my mother-in-law got along with others, gave her money and asked her to treat the children of a certain family well, and I don't have to worry about it in the future."
"A certain old mother has passed away, and she gave the money to her brother."
"In fact, why bother the general has already scattered all his family wealth for us, but now that he has family affairs, he wants to have another career, and he hopes that the county marquis will be successful."
Glancing at everyone, Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "I am now the king of Nanzhao, so I can naturally order the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao, but have you really decided?" After taking the cochin, he became self-reliant? ”
"Yes!"
They speak in a loud voice.
Zhang Yang continued: "After you conquer the land, you will happily be a faint king, how happy is this life?" ”
"Exactly."
"Hahaha!" Someone laughed and began to think about the happiness in the future.
"There is a Nanzhao envoy named Duluo in Chang'an City, you kidnap him and let him go with you on the expedition."
"Whoa!"
Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "This person is the prince and heir of Nanzhao in the past, and he can call on the villagers of Nanzhao for you." ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, "Thank you county marquis." ”
"That's right." Zhang Yang told again: "The people who still have me in Nanzhao are from the Xu family in Jiangnan Dongdao, and they are the mother's relatives of my disciple Xu Hui. ”
"After you take Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi is the territory of Nanzhao, I am the king of Nanzhao to seal your princes everywhere, you can enjoy the food, but not hereditary, your relatives in Guanzhong will be handed over to me, Lishan will treat them well, and in the future, you will go to conquer the city and conquer the land, and be happy."
"Your family members will take care of Lishan, so that you have no worries, how about it?"
"Thank you, county!"
"Don't thank me, you are all big brother's people, I will help you if you have any help."
Zhang Yang asked people to prepare pen and ink, and let them write down their names of origin, as well as their family members and relatives, if he died in a foreign country, as the king of Nanzhao, Lishan could give a pension.
These people are not very literate, so Zhang Yang asked a few children from the village to write on their behalf.
"Please also write another letter to your family, the content of the letter is where you have been, what you want to do, if there is an accident in the future, Lishan will give you a pension, and you can also entrust Lishan."
Zhang Yang wrote another volume of the Mandate, wrote the names of all these people, and stamped the seal of King Nanzhao.
After these were confirmed, Zhang Yang saluted and said: "You will all be my Nanzhao generals in the future, and I hope to win the flag!" ”
"It's a good sentence, I'll wait."
Zhang Yang smiled and saluted.
The letters were handed over to their relatives by Lishan, and when they looked through them carefully, they were written very simply, with only a few sentences, and they also carried a proud tone.
This is also a kind of guarantee, and it is also the credibility of Lishan.
The next day, the envoy of Nanzhao Duluo had just left the post house, planning to go to the Sifang Pavilion to study today, but was blocked by a group of strong men.
"Who are you?"
The other party grinned and said: "We are the generals of Nanzhao, and I will take you to attack Jiaozhi on the order of King Nanzhao." ”
"What Nanzhao general, I am the envoy of Nanzhao, and I have never heard of any general."
The other party took out the will stamped with the seal of King Nanzhao, and this Duluo confirmed it several times, and it was really the seal of King Nanzhao.
Duluo stumbled: "I ...... I...... A certain family also wants to go to the Sifang Pavilion to study. ”
"What to read, tie up! Take! ”
"Whoa!"
A group of strong men surrounded and tied up the envoy of Nanzhao.
Duluo said loudly, "You can't tie me up. ”
"Take you home, and you still don't want to go back? I don't know what to do, beat him! ”
Duluo, who was beaten badly, wanted to cry without tears, he really didn't want to go back to the backward Nanzhao.
Tying people in front of the post house is to be questioned.
"This is the state affair of our Nanzhao, and I hope you will not stop it."
The officers and soldiers saw that the other party was holding the will of King Nanzhao, and it was difficult to confirm it, so they went to ask the Foreign Affairs Yuan.
After Li Yifu came to inquire in person, he said with a smile: "This county marquis is also true, such a big event is not informed to the Ministry of Rites." ”
After that, Li Yifu handed over another volume of documents and instructed: "With this volume, as long as you don't burn, kill and loot, you can go to Nanzhao unimpeded." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Even the officials of the Ministry of Rites were respectful to these strong men, and Duluo's heart was like ashes, and he said to himself: "The subordinates are dedicated to obeying the orders of the county marquis, why is the county marquis treating me like this." ”
Before Duluo could recover from his heart, he found himself like a mother-in-law and was being stopped and carried on his shoulder. (End of chapter)
