Chapter 29 The Antidote
Tang Dynasty returned home depressed, he knew that the general's reputation was broken in a hundred battles, and the generals died in a hundred battles, and it was not a good thing to often let himself go to war, but the Tang Dynasty now seems to be unable to get rid of such a fate, although he knows that the battlefield is dangerous, he has to hold the determination to return the horse leather shroud, it is a dangerous road, but he has to go.
Fortunately, he and Princess Xinling have not yet held a big wedding, and he can stay in the capital for a lot of time, so he is happy to be happy with Qin'er, of course, once he thinks like this, he is rich and rich, and his heart is not very depressed, after all, to be able to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty justifiably, it is definitely the practice of the previous life that has taken effect.
At such a time, Zhang Jiazheng came to visit.
Mom, this guy has only come to see me for so long, and it is a big disrespect to himself, and when he came in with a smile, he said coldly: "Sit!" ”
Zhang Jiazheng immediately said: "Brother Tang, I'm really sorry, the emperor sent me to Luoyang to officiate at Sheng Xiang's wedding during this time, so it was a big faux pas that I couldn't come back to visit you." ”
Oh, so that's the case, I also said that he dared to disrespect himself, then next year's antidote will be difficult for him, now it seems that he is still obedient, and then said: "What's the matter?" ”
"Brother Tang, the younger brother is loyal to you, the last time the emperor didn't give you military salary, I was worried about something, I begged the emperor several times, although the emperor didn't agree to me, but the matter of Princess Xinling, the younger brother made a contribution to the eldest brother."
"Oh. Is there such a thing? "The Tang Dynasty will be skeptical.
"That's the case, eldest brother, you were in Lingnan at the time, Wei Xiangye requested, to marry the princess to Wei Xiangye's eldest son Wei Jiansu, this kid is now the leader of the workshop, there is a bit of literary talent, the emperor wanted to agree, directly married the princess, I know what the emperor meant, he doesn't want you to be his son-in-law, when the time comes, just put on a name, and wait until the wood is completed, big brother, you are to quell the Lingnan rebellion and there is no play, so the younger brother is in a hurry, desperate to go to the speech, saying that if the emperor does that, The Ministry of Rites will never give the princess superior etiquette, and also said that if the emperor insists on going his own way, I am afraid that he will lose the trust of the world, after all, he said that you will marry the princess to you if you have merit in Lingnan, and it has spread all over the government and the opposition. The emperor listened to my words, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't talk about recruiting Wei Jiansu as a concubine. ”
The Tang Dynasty has also heard about it, and when he came back, he had already reported the movements in the court during this period of time, and Zhang Jiazheng did say good things for himself, which he felt strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood Zhang Jiazheng's intentions, he was for the antidote to the red pill, hehe, perhaps, when he gave himself good words at that time, he just thought that if he didn't do anything after he returned to the court, he would definitely be angry and not give the antidote, so it was forced to do it?
But thinking about it, although this person is not very talented, but after all, he is also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so he can't be too humiliated, so he took out next year's antidote and put it in the palm of his hand: "Take it, look at your sake, next year's antidote, I will hand it over to you in advance, remember to take it in time after the year is over, otherwise, it will be dangerous." ”
The Zhang family is like holding the root of their own life, religiously put away the antidote first, and then suddenly knelt down: "Big brother, please, you will completely detoxify me for the sake of my dedication to doing things for you, otherwise, it is really not a human life to be so worried all day long, big brother, please?" ”
He hugged the feet of the Tang Dynasty, a man in his forties, and suddenly burst into tears, which made the Tang Dynasty feel pity, thinking, although this person is thick-skinned, but after all, he is also a court official, so he put down his self-esteem to beg for himself, he was immediately moved, and decided to forgive him, but he had to tell the truth: "Lord Zhang, I'm really sorry, the poison you used to eat was called the red pill, it was not prepared by me, and this antidote was not prepared by me, I don't know the way to rescue me at all, really, I never lied to you!" ”
Zhang Jiazheng's face was full of tears, not at all like when he helped Li Linfu harm himself before, crying and begging: "Big brother, please, give me an explanation?" ”
Tang Dynasty is a good person after all: "That's the case, the person who configured this antidote is not here now, okay, when the time comes, I will invite him back, and then give you the antidote, don't worry, as long as you are loyal to me, I will treat you as a brother." ”
Zhang Jiazheng saw that the face of the Tang Dynasty did not seem to be fake, and finally knew that what he said was right, so he had to stand up, gossip a few words, and give a generous gift of a mink coat, produced in Changbai Mountain, a pair of white walls, very precious, it is an antiquity of the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once used it as a gift with the Huns, and Zhanzhuan returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Chao was happy and praised him a few words, this old boy behaved submissively, very respectfully, and left after gossiping-
Until he walked out, Zhang Jiazheng didn't say a meaningful word, his expression was respectful, and he regarded himself as an emperor! Very good, Tang Chao secretly thought, this person's kung fu in officialdom may be what I lack the most now. Yes, I have made great achievements now, which makes people envious, but at the same time, it also makes people jealous, in this way, when I learn from this person's way of life, why are there many people, especially Wei Jian, who say bad things about me behind my back, why do so many people dislike me, why even the emperor began to be jealous of me?
Now, he seems to have understood a little bit of the truth of how to behave in the world, the edge is too exposed, it is easy to attract people to frame, sometimes even the emperor will be jealous of himself, mother's, it is really strange, Mrs. Qin Guo actually admires herself, and moreover, Princess Xinling will take a fancy to herself.
Although this is a bit strange, but it is true, think about it carefully, I deserve to be a servant of the Yellow Gate, but it is because Li Longji is dissatisfied with himself, as a result, he was assigned to Lingnan as a festival envoy, and deal with the most difficult rebellion, if it weren't for his luck, some ability, plus there are capable generals like the Four Tigers of the Sheva Clan by his side, I am afraid it will be very troublesome, at least the war must be protracted, I am afraid that Li Longji will find a loophole, dismiss his official, and beat himself into the bottomless abyss!
He already had this heart, this is what the Tang Dynasty felt, and because of this, now the Tang Dynasty will not hesitate to oppose Li Longji, especially this time, after letting himself be a vain servant, he immediately assigned himself to the position of the protector of Anxi, although this is a big difference in the eyes of outsiders, the military power is in hand, and the wealth is extensive, but think about it, the gold and silver mined in Lingnan are worth nearly 10 million taels of silver, it can be said that the net worth of the Tang Dynasty is rich and rivaled by the country, and it is not an exaggeration, why should he go to Andi to take such a big risk, It's better to do a good job of being your own Huangmen squire and Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang, really be the prime minister, stabilize your position, once like Li Linfu, even the emperor has to be afraid of himself for three points, you can realize your great ambition of governing the country and securing the country.
While he was thinking wildly, Wei Jian asked to see him.
When Tang Chao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, I thought that this old guy would come to get the antidote immediately when the edict was issued, but I didn't expect him to be so calm, and he didn't come until this time, which shows that the kung fu of nourishing qi is good.
Tang Chao met him in the main hall, with a smile on his face, no matter what, this old guy always let himself get over the addiction of being a real prime minister.
Wei Jian's face was very bad: "Lord Tang, I'm really sorry, the emperor has obviously sent the edict out, let you take my place as a servant, I can't imagine that it has changed now, I heard that you have been awarded the title of the protector of Anxi, and you will go to the post after marrying the princess, I am very ashamed!" ”
Tang Chao took out the antidote, and did not beat around the bush with him: "Master Wei, you have stepped down now, and you have indeed done a lot of things for me, some things, not you and I can control, it depends on the emperor's meaning, this is this year's antidote, you take it first, every year at this time in the future, I will give you the antidote on time, what will be the consequences without the antidote, I don't have to say more, anyway, you remember, you know?" ”
Wei Jian said: "I am in the last years of my life, and I don't know how many years I can live, and I am a wasted person, why do you spend time on an old man like me, Lord Tang, how good is it that you will detoxify me?" ”
Tang Chao sneered in his stomach: "Mom, it's already very good that you sent someone to plot against me twice, and it is already very good not to take your dog's life", but suddenly had a plan and said: "Okay, Master Wei, you can do so much for me, I am already grateful for your sincerity, as long as you don't get involved in my affairs in the future and don't harm me in the future, I will give you the antidote?" ”
In fact, where can he detoxify now. If it were that easy, there would be too many miracle doctors like Sun Simiao in the world, but there is only one medicine king in the world, and not everyone can do it.
Wei Jian was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were shaking, he took the antidote pill from Tang Chao's hand and swallowed it in one gulp.
Tang Chao was amused, and deliberately teased him: "However, I still don't believe your words, you swear!" ”
Wei Jian swore an oath: "If I, Wei Jiang, have the heart of harming the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will die under the sword in the future!" With a serious face, but the current ear power of the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, listening to him actually read Wei Jian vaguely, a bit like "Wei Jiang", obviously playing a big trick, then, even if he harms himself again in the future, it will be "Wei Jiang" who died under the sword and arrow, not himself.
But the Tang Dynasty didn't say anything, but wondered in his heart, why did this guy say this, from this oath, it can already be seen that this person is not sincere, if he is not mistaken, this person may harm himself again in the future, the eldest husband has a word, naturally he can't kill him again, and he sneered in his heart, thinking with a sneer, what kind of conspiracy do you have in the future, since I am prepared, I don't have to be afraid, besides, you have resigned and retreated, what kind of storm can you afford to rise?
After thinking about it like this, I suddenly had no more burden, and I thought with a sneer in my heart, hehe, today next year will be your death!
People like you, let you live for an extra year, that is also cheaper for you.
At the moment, Wei Jian said some gossip again, praising how beautiful Princess Xinling is, Tang Dynasty can be the emperor's son-in-law, it is a great blessing, Tang Dynasty didn't expect him to be able to see the princess from time to time, and asked some things about Princess Xinling at the moment.
As soon as the crisis of the Tang Dynasty passed, I immediately thought of the beautiful Princess Xinling, yes, this woman likes herself, but when she married Qin'er, this princess actually came out without the emperor and became Qin'er's bridesmaid, but she didn't expect it to be a princess with a noble status.
Qin'er, this girl, too, is obviously very familiar with her, but she doesn't tell herself the truth, until Princess Xinling begged Yang Yuhuan, the emperor and everyone knew that Princess Xinling already had a sweetheart.
Wei Jian immediately resigned, with a smile of victory on his face, but Tang Dynasty also smiled, which was meaningful.
