Chapter 171: Sophistication

Chang'an County Ya.

The county commander Jia Jilin strode to the county governor's office, only to see Yan Zhenqing writing the verdict.

"What's going on?"

"The Cao family sisters and brothers are in trouble again." Yan Zhenqing frowned and said, "Kidnap a fat sheep home and want to slaughter it, and put it in .....the wine."

This is the beginning of An Lushan, several banquets were set up to trap the Khitans in the wine, and even the scoundrels of Chang'an began to learn, and the Khitans could still be fooled.

The Cao family's sisters and brothers live in Chang'an County, but they often go to the east of Wannian County to commit crimes.

"Who told you this?" Jia Jilin said, "Do you know who this fat sheep is?" ”

"He has been refusing to report his name, and I am asking someone to check."

"Goshuhan!" Jia Jilin's face looked anxious, "He has already made trouble in the class room just now, and he is going to enter the palace to meet him at noon, so he can't be delayed." ”

"That's what happened." Yan Zhenqing suddenly realized, looked at the sky and said: "I want to meet at noon, and he has not reported his identity until two o'clock, so he can't delay." ’

"If you know that's the case, you still don't let him go?!"

"There is no need to rush the county order, it is precisely because this case involves important ministers in the DPRK that it must be investigated, otherwise the sage will think that Chang'an County's case is ambiguous."

Jia Jilin listened to the reasonableness, and then he cared about the details of the case.

Cao Busha wanted to suffocate Ge Shuhan, but he picked up the wine bowl and pressed her to pour wine, and poured her down, and slept until dawn.

If it is just like this, it is indeed Ge Shuhan's guilt is greater, but his confession is not unreasonable - "If she says that if she gets drunk with her mother, she will not accept prostitution money", which is a good thing. ”

Jia Jilin thought about it until the end, and came up with enough reason to acquit Ge Shuhan. As soon as he turned his head, Yan Zhenqing wrote the verdict, meticulously wrote down the crimes of both parties for violating Tang Law, and punished them together.

"Qingchen, in my opinion, no matter what he wants to do, you and I still have to give him face on the surface......."

At this moment, a government official hurriedly came and said: "The county order, the county lieutenant, someone from the palace is here!" ”

"What? You, are you really General Goshuhan?! ”

Cao stood up awkwardly and glared at the big man of the Western Regions with curly hair in front of him, still feeling unbelieving.

"Why are you so shabby?"

"Am I shabby? You robbed me. Ge Shuhan looked up to the sky and laughed, stretched his muscles, moved his neck, and said, "However, your wine is good, spare you." ”

"General........

Cao Buzheng wanted to speak, but was kicked down by Cao Buyan.

"What if he's Geshuhan? Pee on the side of Chang'an County. I can't do it without the king's law! ”

The two sisters and brothers are the children of Hu Ji, the real miscellaneous beard, but this temperament is quite good for Ge Shuhan, he laughed, and walked out with the officials.

Jia Jilin stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Geshu, it's rude." ”

"A misunderstanding." Ge Shuhan smiled and hugged him, and said in a low voice, "Let the sister and brother go?" The trifle is nothing. ”

"Okay, okay."

Yan Zhenqing said: "I'm afraid that General Geshu should not interfere in the judgment of Chang'an County."

"Haha, Yan Shaofu is really impartial in judging the case, if you have the ability, you will keep holding it."

Ge Shuhan said and walked away.

Everyone else thought that he was letting go of his cruel words, but few people noticed that before he left, he gently patted Yan Zhenqing's back.

Out of Chang'an County, when he got on the horse, Ge Shuhan noticed that a young man came from the north leisurely, a little familiar, it turned out to be a little cub who was drinking and bragging in the wine shop yesterday.

"Little Langzi, the years are in a hurry, don't indulge in wine and talk exaggeratedly. Men should learn civil and martial arts and seek meritorious deeds, hahaha! ”

Before the laughter was over, he had already driven his horse away.

Xue Bai looked at the back of a man and a horse, smiled self-deprecatingly, and went all the way into the county office, looking for Yan Zhenqing.

"Teacher, I heard that you took Ge Shuhan?"

"It's better to say that he came to Chang'an County to sit down."

Xingqing Palace, the main building of diligent government affairs.

"The minister thinks very simply, the festival between the right minister and General Wang, the minister is sandwiched in the middle and it is difficult to do, thinking that it is better to go to the prostitute for one night, and come to see him in the morning. I didn't expect that the little lady was not a prostitute, and something happened, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime. ”

What Ge Shuhan said was indeed the truth, he didn't care about how big or small things were at all, it was nothing more than an attitude of not being involved in these court disputes, he only cared about fighting outside, and when he returned to Chang'an, he just came according to his temperament.

If the saint really wanted to kill Wang Zhonghe, he was willing to intercede for Wang Zhonghei even if he risked his future. But in this situation, it is not good to get too close to each other, it is better to be estranged.

Li Longji listened to his explanation, his eyes fell, and he saw that this Hu general's face had an honest and frank attitude, but he did not deliberately hide the cunning in his eyes.

This kind of small cunning is a common characteristic of the Hu people in the Western Regions, and it is more sincere if it is not concealed.

"Get up." Li Longji raised his hand disappreciatively, "It's not the first time you've made this kind of mistake. ”

"Thank you, saint."

Ge Shuhan's family is well-off, his father is the deputy capital of Anxi, and his mother is a princess of Khotan. Since childhood, he has been fond of gambling and drinking, and his personality is heroic and uninhibited. When he was forty years old, his father died, so he worked hard and went to Hexi to join the army.

Fight bravely and rise all the way.

He hopes that the rest of his life will be good, so he does not have so many worries about the country and the people as Wang Zhonghe, if the saint asks him to attack the stone fort city, he will not hesitate to kill tens of thousands of people and will definitely take it. When the battle was over, he indulged in sensuality,

Without moderation.

can fight, want to be aggressive, have selfish desires, true temperament, and point, Li Longji can easily see that he loves this general very much.

"Bring me my map."

"Yes."

Li Longji is talking about "my map", and the arrogance in his words is actually talking about "my territory".

Pointing his finger near Stone Castle City, he began to test Goshuhan's military strategy.

He wanted to consolidate Shibao City, increase troops to Qinghai Lake, recruit troops to 100,000, counterattack Tubo, and recover the Yellow River Jiuqu...... Let the territory of Datang continue to expand, and even more accomplish the achievements of his saintly son.

The reason why An Lushan had to be appointed in Fanyang and Pinglu was that Li Longji also considered that when fighting in the west, the northeast should strive to be safe, and An Lushan knew Hu customs best.

Wang Zhonghei couldn't appreciate this kind of eloquence, and complained a lot, Shibao City was difficult to fight, it was not suitable for soldiers, and An Lushan had different intentions. As soon as he saw Ge Shuhan today, Li Longji immediately decided to change to a better coach of Longyou.

There are many famous generals in Datang.

On that day, when Ge Shuhan entered the palace, he was only the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he was already the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and he was also the Taishou of Xiping County

Rush to the royal house.

Wang Zhongsi was pacing in the front yard, his eyebrows worried.

"Do you want to meet Ge Shuhan?" Won Jae stepped forward and asked, "But I don't know why?" ”

"If he will replace the envoy of Longyoujie, how can he not hand over in person?"

"That should also be arranged by the saints." Yuan Zai said: "How can the father-in-law have a reason to meet in private? ”

Wang Zhongshu has more things to care about, and Yuan Zai, who only cares about the future of his life, has nothing to say, thinking about the impact of the situation in Longyou on the entire Tang Dynasty, and his face becomes more and more solemn.

He had been in Longyou for many years, and he thought that under the condition that the systems of Juntian, Fu Bing, and Rent and Yong were gradually collapsing, it was not the best policy to open up the territory excessively and fight head-on with the prosperous Tubo, which was in full swing, and this was also the reason why he wanted to advise the sage when he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Weng and his son-in-law stood in the courtyard so speechlessly, one thinking about "admonishment" and the other thinking about "prolonging life" until it was getting dark.

Before the curfew, Guan Chongsi finally returned.

"General, I didn't see Ge Shu, he didn't go back to the Yongningfang mansion."

"Still in the palace?"

"I don't know, he must be avoiding the general." Guan Chongsi shook his head, and then glanced at Yuan Zai again.

Wang Zhongji then turned back to the study alone.

Guan Chongsi hurriedly followed, and whispered: "But General Geshu asked people to pass the word, 'Please rest assured, it's better than handing over Longyou to others'."

Wang Zhongsi stopped, looked up at the northwest floating clouds in the twilight, seemed to see the mountains and rivers on the right side of Longyou, and nodded helplessly.

Kaimingfang, the small residence of the Cao family.

Ge Shuhan turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to push, and found that the courtyard gate was hidden, so he went straight in.

Cao Buzheng, who was carrying water by the well, turned around and said, "General Geshu? You're really here?! ”

Hearing what he said, Ge Shuhan immediately looked at the lobby, saw that there was already a candle flame inside, and threw the horsewhip at Cao Buzheng's body, and said, "Someone is looking for me?" ”

I thought it was someone from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion waiting in the hall, but when I entered the hall, I saw that it was a familiar young man and a middle-aged man in his forties standing there.

"You guys?"

"General Geshu, be polite. In Xia Xue Bai, this is Gao Shi, who is preparing to participate in the seven-year spring festival and wants to invest in the general. It just so happened that my teacher was the lieutenant of Chang'an County, so I found here. ”

"Gao Shi has seen General Geshu."

Ge Shuhan was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed, turned his head to see Cao Busha standing vigilantly in a corner, and immediately ordered: "Go, bring wine, and greet these two friends."

It was as if this was his home, and Cao Busha was his outer chamberwife.

"I've heard your name, and I don't need to invest in the bank, the imperial court only has a few jinshi a year." Ge Shuhan said: "I guarantee that you will serve under the Longyou Curtain, sit, you don't have to be polite." ”

Xue Bai looked at Cao Busha's back when he turned around and went out, and reminded: "The general is not young, and when it comes to wine, you should be restrained." ”

"That's the other way around." Ge Shuhan said: "Anyway, when you're old, what's there to control?" ”

After that, he remembered that he persuaded Xue Bai to be enterprising in Changshoufang during the day, but at night, Xue Bai persuaded him to be temperate.

Before Gao Shidu could express whether he was willing to go to Longyou's scene, the topic had been brought over by the two of them so quickly.

"The general is dashing, can you take a look at our scrolls?"

"Come!"

Ge Shuhan didn't refuse, took the two scrolls, and looked at them through the dim candlelight. Although he is a Hu person, he is also a son of an official eunuch of the Tang Dynasty, and he is quite literate, and he can see the quality of poetry.

Xue Bai's number of words in the scroll is a bit perfunctory, and there is only a five-character quatrain called "Geshu Song", but after a closer look, he actually likes this poem.

"The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night."

"So far, I have peeped at the horses, and I dare not pass Lintao."

After rolling up this line of rolls, Ge Shuhan accepted it unceremoniously, touched it in his arms, and found that he didn't bring anything valuable. Seeing that Cao Busha didn't come over to serve the wine, he simply got up and poured a bowl of wine for Xue Bai in person.

"Since you don't want to come to my scene, I can't help you, please have a bowl of wine, thank you for writing poems for me."

Xue Bai said: "The general can help me and help the right minister shake hands with General Wang, how about it?" ”

"Oh?"

This matter was exactly what Ge Shuhan wanted, and at this time, he no longer despised Xue Bai, and his face became serious, and he was just teasing this young man before.

Xue Bai said: "There is a gift to gain, and then remove General Wang Shuo Fang Jie Du from his post, and only protect one Hedong, it will not be so eye-catching." ”

"The general always refused to protect himself, and Li Guangbi persuaded him many times, but he just didn't listen." Ge Shuhan sighed, raised a bowl of wine whale and sucked the cow drink, and took one sip.

Xue Bai and he had just met, and it was enough to show that they had the same position as each other, so there was no need to say too much.

Ge Shuhan slowly unfolded Gao Shi's scroll, and at the same time said: "I have already read the poems of Gao Thirty-five, and I like the "Yan Ge Xing" the most.

Gao Shi was a little surprised, and said: "I'm ashamed, I haven't done my best for state affairs, only these complaints." ”

"Don't be discouraged, I'm not going to be successful until I'm forty, it's not too late."

Having said that, the two have different family backgrounds.

Ge Shuhan looked down, and the frontispiece was a five-character poem entitled "Wanglong".

"Longtou travels far away, and Longshang divides the water. The flowing water is endless, and the pedestrians have not been clouded. Shallow talent can pass a life, and a lonely sword is suitable for thousands of miles. Don't you miss your hometown? Never perceived. ”

After reading this poem, Ge Shuhan's eyes flashed, and at the end, he simply asked: "Gao thirty-five, are you willing to work under my curtain?" I have been appointed as the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and I can ask for the title of court for you on the table.

Gao Shi was a little moved, turned his head to glance, and saw Xue Baizheng bowing his head and taking a shallow sip of wine, without looking at him, obviously not planning to interject, let him think about it himself.

If he only needs to go to the border town to do things, Xue Bai doesn't have to bother so much.

Gao Shi then stood up and saluted, and said, "Can you take the liberty of asking General Ge Shu to help in the field?" I will remember the grace of support. ”

Xue Bai nodded, put down the wine bowl and said, "If Brother Gao wins the Jinshi, he can still go to General Geshu to do things." ”

"Okay."

Ge Shuhan didn't shirk it, put away Gao Shi's line scroll, and said: "I will find an opportunity to make this matter clear to the right minister." ”

A few days later, Li Linfu also received Gao Shi's travel volume.

Unfolded and looked, on the scroll was a long poem entitled "Leaving Li Youxiang", which was quite praised.

The first sixteen sentences praise Li Linfu's exploits, such as "The customs are ancient, and the monarchs and ministers are in the court." Shen Shen seeks nine virtues, and the secret does not fit for a thousand years", the last sixteen sentences describe their own poverty situation.

"Xue Bai has changed, he is sleek and sophisticated." Li Linfu stroked the poems on the scroll and sighed. ”

Seeing that the main family was in a good mood, Cang Bi asked playfully: "Ah Lang, since it is Gao Shi's poem, how can it be said that Xue Bai has changed?" ”

"You're just helping Gao Shi when Xue Bai is there? This is to help others and help oneself, first through the mouth of Ge Shuhan, he expressed that he wanted Wang Zhongsi and Benxiang to release their previous suspicions; Later, he borrowed Gao Shi's line scroll and handed over the words of submission, all of which were to show weakness. is about to be in the spring, and he is bent on fame and fame, and he does not want to conflict with his own appearance in this matter. ”

Cangbi was a little stunned, it was hard to believe that the words "helping others and helping yourself" would come from Ah Lang's mouth, and after reacting, he said: "This shaft, it is better to go to Ah Lang in person to make amends." ”

Li Linfu waved his hand, knowing that there was no need for Xue Bai Sheng's family to be like this, it was enough for now.

Combined with the fact that Yang Zhao has often come to pat himself recently, it is not difficult to see that in the final analysis, this matter is still Yang Dang's goodwill.

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion is now pushing Ge Shuhan as the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and the Yang Party is actually qualified to win over Ge Shuhan, but he said that he could not make trouble in exchange for a few Jinshi places.

In this case, is it a high degree of Jinshi and the first? You can really think about it.

Li Linfu pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Recruit Cui Qiao to see his true appearance." ”

In the middle of winter, Yan House.

A crisp cheer rang out in the lobby.

More than a month after the story of the monkey ended, Yan Yan finally waited for Xue Baixin's manuscript and expanded it, but this time it was the story of a white snake.

Xue Bai originally wanted to write a story about Song Huizong, and the context was all thought of, so he started from his good bowing, calligraphy and painting, and music when he was the king of Duan, wrote about his accession to the throne, appointed Cai Jing, and added some anecdotes with Master Li, and finally wrote about the changes in Jingkang.

But in the end, he gave up.

You don't have to cause this kind of disaster before the Spring Festival, and you will be busy after the Spring Festival, not to mention that you can rely on the story to persuade Li Longji to fail?

At this time, he was standing there, and Yan Zhenqing seemed to see what was on his mind.

asked, "You haven't been in trouble lately?" ”

Not only did the student not cause trouble, but he also eliminated a lot of trouble Yan Zhenqing probably knew what he was doing recently, nodded, and said, "In the spring, the old man will be transferred to supervise the imperial history and inspect the northwest." At that time, the old man will no longer be in Chang'an, and you must not provoke the brother slave again.

"The student understood."

Xue Bai knew that he was going to be promoted, but he didn't expect that his grade would not be improved. But thinking about it again, although the rank of the supervision of the imperial history is not high, but the authority is very large, this trip to the northwest can quickly accumulate merits, and it is easy to move to the imperial court when you return to the court. For example, Yang Zhao's rise from the imperial history is very fast.

The important thing is that from the changes in the official positions of Ge Shuhan and Yan Zhenqing, it can be seen that Li Longji intends to expand the border and attack Tibet.

At the same time, with the loss of power in the East Palace and the loss of Wang Zhonghe's military power, the disputes between the court and the central government have also settled temporarily, and the next government affairs will inevitably be led by Li Linfu, so Yan Zhenqing has this reminder.

Xue Bai can no longer take advantage of the two forces to fight for power and fish in troubled waters as in the past. When Wang Zhongsi and Yan Zhenqing leave Chang'an, he must also obtain his official position as soon as possible and get out of the center of this whirlpool.

Fortunately, he did not provoke Li Linfu again, and took the initiative to make peace with Ge Shuhan.

The heavy snow in the winter moon makes the days of the people of Chang'an seem quiet.

Ge Shuhan did not stay in Chang'an for a long time, and after accepting the appointment, he rushed back to Longyou without stopping.

Before leaving, he complained to the sage that Wang Zhonghei was proud of his fame and wealth when he was in Longyou, and treated the soldiers harshly, and the sage dismissed Wang Zhonghei from the post of Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy.

Let the little Bolu and his queen Tubo dance in front of the saints.

In Layue, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing entered Beijing to offer prisoners, and soon, because of the contradiction between Gao Xianzhi and Meng Lingcha, the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, there was a lot of trouble.

This matter is indeed Gao Xianzhi's fault, after destroying the little Bolu Kingdom, he crossed Fumeng Lingcha and reported directly to the imperial court, which is a taboo in officialdom, Fumeng Lingcha threatened that if it weren't for this "Gorinu who eats dog intestines" made a great contribution, he would be killed.

Xue Bai is not qualified to participate in these military affairs, this time he was very honest and did not get involved, he originally said to Cen Shen that he would visit Feng Changqing, but he also shirked because of this matter, and it seems that he really changed his mind and was extremely honest.

Of course, there was nothing he had to change about it.

Li Linfu stared at people for several days and found that the Yang Party had not won over the Anxi generals.

But taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Youlin moved to the rank of Gongkao Langzhong under the recommendation of Yang Chen, and put on a red robe again.

At the end of Tianbao's six years, this is the most inconspicuous trivial matter, and coincidentally, it is exactly a full year since Du Youlin was implicated in a major case and was almost killed by a cane.

When the wax moon passes, it will be the seventh year of Tianbao in a blink of an eye.

It's closer to spring.
