Chapter Sixty-Seven: All Good Friends
Gu Zuo's request was originally the purpose of Wang Wei's trip, and he glanced at Yuan Zai, who was drinking bitterly in the crowd, and said to Gu Zuo: "Then give you a thorough understanding, it's easy to say, just three, all of them are Yang Xiang's bottom line, when I came, I won't mention the seventeen or eighteen articles he advised, and to be honest, I didn't remember it, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
Gu Zuo smiled: "My own people, let's settle at the dinner table, you say." ”
Wang Wei whispered: "First one, put down the banner on the side of Qingjun, and don't shout anymore." ”
Gu Zuo smiled: "You can consider it." ”
Wang Wei said again: "The second one, let the new Jiannan Jiedu take office. ”
Gu Zuo asked, "Who is it?"
Wang Weidao: "Yang Xiang said a few, you don't have to worry about it, his bottom line is that it really can't work, you can designate one, but this is the face of the court, and the festival can't be hung in the air." ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "What about the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee?"
Wang Wei said: "Yang Xiang didn't mention it, you just go on, I suggest that you can consider hanging it under the Jiedu Mansion." ”
Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "Then we suggest that your brother be the envoy of the Jiannan Festival." ”
Wang Wei smiled without saying a word, raised his glass and touched Gu Zuo, and drank it all.
"The third article, this year's two endowments, because of the war can be exempted, but the political hall is very short of money, he asked Jiannan Dao to hand over at least 200,000 yuan, and if he doesn't want anything, he will make money. ”
Gu Zuo asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Wei snorted coldly: "I heard that our majesty opened his mouth and asked Yang Xiang for one million yuan, Yang Xiang was very embarrassed." ”
Gu Zuo was curious: "What is Your Majesty doing?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "Who knows?"
Gu Zuo was very excited: "In this way, the political hall will not use troops to Nanzhao again?"
Wang Wei sneered: "Originally, Yang Xiang had this plan, but the household department was empty, and he really couldn't come up with the money, and he transferred troops from other states, and it cost twice as much, and it would never be possible to do it without one or two million guan, even if he had this money, since His Majesty opened his mouth, there would be no money." ”
Gu Zuo said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's decided." ”
Wang Wei raised his glass: "Okay, come, I'll take care of my brother for a cup!"
That night, Wang Wei was led by someone and quietly went to Shaomu Mountain in Yongchang Zhao, while Gu Zuo waited for Yuan Zai who sneaked into the door in the Changshi Courtyard.
"Congratulations to Yuan Zuo on his promotion to Zhilangzhong!" Gu Zuo said with a smile.
Yuan Zai was very excited, but at the same time very nervous, Tobe Duzhilang is a very important position, although it is only an expedient measure for Yang Xiang to send an envoy to Southern Wuzhou, but he is confident that under the care of Wei Jiansu, he will be able to sit firmly after returning to Chang'an.
This sudden official position made him take an important step towards the "prime minister's spirit" that Gu Zuo said, so in addition to being excited, he was also a little more afraid of Gu Zuo.
"This time in Southern Wuzhou, Li Zhai said, if Mr. Gu has any difficulties, even if he comes, we will definitely find a way to solve them in Chang'an. ”
Gu Zuo smiled: "Envoy Li is too polite, why do you need to be like this." ”
Yuan Zai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Mr. must be right, not only Li Zhai's envoy, but even the prince admires him very much, and when it comes to long history, he must be called Mr." ”
Gu Zuo said: "This time, you won't want to calculate again, right?"
Yuan Zai said respectfully: "Mr. Last time, Mr. An Lushan will be opposed, and now the signs have become more and more obvious, Yang Xiang has transferred Changqing to sit in Hedong, and sent Gao Xianzhi to guard Tongguan, Li Zhai wants to ask, can you hold it Chinese?"
Gu Zuo said: "Then I'll give you the last calculation." As he spoke, he pinched his fingers for a long time and said, "Tongguan, there is a border that cannot be guarded." ”
Yuan Jae asked, "What does this mean?"
Gu Zuo shook his head: "This is a heavenly opportunity, I can't tell you clearly, you need to figure it out for yourself." ”
After getting this calculation, Yuan Zai didn't dare to ask again, but Gu Zuo made a request: "There is one thing, I want to ask Li Zhai's envoy for help, of course, if you can help, you can help, and it doesn't matter if you can't help." ”
"Sir, please. ”
"I very much want to know, Your Majesty has collected so much money, where has it been spent, I wonder if Envoy Li can help find out?"
"Yes, after returning to Chang'an, I will convey Mr.'s intentions, and Li Zhai's envoy will do his best. ”
The two angels were warmly entertained in Nanwu Prefecture and stayed for more than half a month, and then they reluctantly left.
Beginning on 1 May, the banner of "Qingjun Side" erected at the Nanwu Prefecture Martial Arts Arena and the slogans and banners hung everywhere were gradually removed. At the same time, the relevant flags of Yizhou, Montenegro County, and Tonghai County were also replaced.
At the beginning of June, the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee sent a letter to the political affairs hall, requesting the imperial court to send a new Jiannan Jiedu envoy to Yizhou.
At the end of June, Wang Wei of the right of the Jinshang Book of the Political Affairs Hall Jiannan Jiedu envoy and the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, Wang Wei arrived in Yizhou in early July and began to preside over the affairs of the Jiannan Jiedu Mansion.
It is rumored that the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee proposed two candidates to the political affairs hall, one is Wang Wei and the other is the governor of Yizhou, Shi Cuiyuan, but the political affairs hall finally chose Wang Wei and made Yu Haicang, the elder of the Qingcheng faction, drop the cup.
The purpose of the world is that after Wang Wei took office, he did not abolish the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee, but renamed it the Jiedu Shogunate, appointed Yang Jian of Huaixian Pavilion as the secretary, Tang Junzhe of the Tang Gate, Lu Qiao of the Luofu faction, Yu Yutong of the Qingcheng faction, and Wang Ruhu of the Lishui faction were appointed as friends of the shogunate.
At the end of July, the Ministry of Household officially exempted Jiannan Province and Nanzhao from the two taxes this year.
In mid-August, the newly appointed Yizhou Jiedu made Wang Wei write in a high-profile manner, Jiannan Dao and Nanzhao thanked the court for its kindness, and the military and civilians enthusiastically donated 200 million yuan to serve the Son of Heaven. The government hall immediately ordered a commendation.
This series of operations has been seen by the world's sects and various prefectures and counties, not to mention it on the surface, but there is already an uproar underneath.
Huaixian Pavilion raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, and wiped out 30,000 Yizhou troops (also said 100,000) in a battle, not only that, but also occupied Yizhou, and everyone waited for the imperial court to mobilize soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress.
But the result? Is it over? Are we still good friends?
Isn't it a good friend? One removed the battle flag and served the Son of Heaven with 200 million yuan, and the other took the initiative to change the envoy of the festival degree, and also exempted the other party from two endowments, what a good friend!
What's more, the two sides have been fighting until now, have you seen Chongxuan's voice?
For a while, there was an undercurrent.
Gu Zuo alone received many letters, such as the two allies of Lingnan Province, Su Xianguan and Duqiao faction, both of whom said that they wanted to come to Nanwu Prefecture to meet with Gu Zuo and listen to the causes and consequences of the battle.
For example, Wang Wushan and Huashan Xixuan sent people to invite Gu Zuo to their own mountain.
For example, the Dongting faction asked Jiang Xiaozhu to block the door of Gu Zuo's room, and asked him to record all kinds of mysterious operations this year, no matter how big or small, he must send it back to the Dongting faction.
Even Zuo Shenmen wrote a letter to the original governor, discussing the possibility of Gu Zuo, the former chief, and the butcher "returning to their hometown to have a look".
Yuan Dao grew up and was moved, Gu Zuo said: "If you want to go, you can go, give fifteen days off, anyway, you will fly now, fifteen days is enough." ”
Yuan Dao Chang sighed: "What's the use of just me going, it's you they want to see." ”
Gu Zuo said: "I don't want to see them. ”
