Chapter 265 Thoughts
(It's so hanging and it's not updated regularly.) )
Great Sui Jingshi, Chang'an.
At this time, the New Year is approaching, but in the city of Chang'an on the Longshou Plain, the pedestrians on the street come and go in a hurry, all with a melancholy face, the shops, and the commercial market have been closed early, and the spacious and tidy streets are filled with a bleak and cool atmosphere, and the smell of the New Year is even more faint and can not be detected.
There is no way, the war is getting closer and closer to the capital of Chang'an, and in the past year, Chang'an City has experienced a period of rapid population growth, and people have fled to Chang'an to escape the imminent war.
According to the previous statement, it is actually a homeless person.
However, today, the imperial court and government can't care so much, and the homeless people are always much stronger than bandits and rebels.
By the end of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Chang'an had closed the city and no longer received foreign visitors.
There is no way, as long as you don't want hundreds of thousands of people in this city to starve to death, you can only do this.
For this reason, the envoy of Guanzhong, the secretary of the criminal department, the history of Jingzhao Nei, and the general Wei Xuan of the Zhuguo State are said to have cried a few times, of course, not because they were scared to cry, but because they felt that they could not eradicate the riot and appease the people, and they were entrusted by the emperor, so they cried.
Of course, whether he cries or not, Wei Xuan is over seventy years old, relying on his past prestige, as well as his profound official qualifications, and extensive travel, he can barely suppress the Guanxi lords, so that people will not be called the emperor in Chang'an City.
It's not easy, and he can't take care of the rest.
In the middle of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, this old minister took the opportunity to submit his resignation to Emperor Yang Guang, and his strength was already apparent.
But at that time, the emperor only wanted to go to Jiangdu as soon as possible, how could he let go home the loyal courtiers who could still serve him?
The eastern capital is Fan Zigai, and Chang'an is Wei Xuan.
The two of them are seventy or eighty years old, one east and one west, barely supporting the cool body of Da Sui with their old bodies, in fact. Their bodies, like those of the Great Sui, exude the smell of death.
In any case, there is no doubt about Wei Xuan's talent, in the first Liaodong war, he was the only one who finished the army, although he was the army behind the palace. But it is a long way to go back and forth, and it is not easy to bring back tens of thousands of troops completely.
Now the defenders of Chang'an City are all friendly to Wei Xuan's henchmen, which is Wei Xuan's most powerful weapon to deter the lords, of course, the Kansai lords have been hit hard in recent years, which is also one of the reasons.
Well, I have to mention that. No matter what else it was, Emperor Yang Guang finally barely completed a goal, and it took more than ten years to continuously weaken the strength of the Guanxi lords.
The big valves all over the world have also been tossed a lot.
From this point of view, it is very advantageous for latecomers who have re-established order on the ruins.
In short, the current Chang'an City and Luoyang City in the east. It's a pair of brothers and sisters, standing there alone. The glory of the past is long gone, just waiting to be destroyed in the flames of war, or usher in the day of rebirth.
At such a time, if there are still people who have the mind to pass the New Year's Pass, it is really called a ghost.
……………………………………
The crown prince Qianniu prepared for the Chai Shao mansion.
this day. After Chai Shao got off duty, he hurried back to the mansion, entered the mansion gate, and immediately ordered people, "Go, Mr. Xunyu, they will wait for me in the study of the back house." ”
Then I thought about it and asked. "Where's Madame?"
The answer was, "Madame went back to the Tang State Mansion, and left early yesterday morning, saying that it was from the Tang State Mansion...... Which lady invited ......?"
Chai Shao gritted his teeth, waved his hand to retreat from the servants, and went back to the inner house to change clothes.
After a while, Chai Shao changed into civilian clothes and walked into the study.
The study room of Chai Mansion is more spacious than the front hall of Li Po's house, and the furnishings are naturally the top configuration, with some book fragrance, but it does not take off the true character of a martial artist, showing that the master's family is a civil and military all-rounder.
Behind the study, it is close to the book building, it is the collection of books collected by Chai Shao over the years, since the Sui Emperor Yang built the library, and then there is the secretary of the Shangshu Niu Hong in the house to build the library building, so far, Chang'an literary style has been greatly invigorated.
Regardless of whether there is such an elegant thing as reading at home, anyway, if you don't have a place to store books at home, and there are few rare books in it, you are embarrassed to go out to meet people.
At this time, there were already five people waiting in the study, and Chai Shao came in and got up to salute.
Chai Shao returned the salute and came to the main seat to sit down.
After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Invite a few gentlemen, yes...... I was on duty in the palace, and I heard that someone had secretly accused Tang Gong of recruiting outlaws in Taiyuan, making friends with bandits, and harboring ill-intentioned intentions and supporting the army to respect himself, and I couldn't help but worry about everything...... The road ahead is vast, I don't know where to go, and I ask a few gentlemen to seek it. ”
A few Zo ginseng were suddenly shocked, and the room immediately fell silent.
This is not a trivial matter, Chai Shao is the son-in-law of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, and once the crime is confirmed, he will be punished.
Don't look at the chaos in the world now, but this is Chang'an, where the heart of the Great Sui is located, and there is no room for rebellious ministers and thieves to get away.
After a while, the first person on the left asked quietly: "Does Chai Lang know who started the game?" ”
Chai Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "The news has spread to the Yingyangwei Mansion, who reported it, what does it matter?" ”
The room was quiet again, and after a while, someone said again: "His Royal Highness the Acting King, is there anything wrong?" ”
Chai Shao shook his head again, and said patiently: "Now the king is only thinking about how to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he asked me some time ago that he wanted to recruit Tang Gong back to Beijing, but now the king is ...... Where is the room to speak on behalf of the king? ”
Mr. Yu, who was on the left, spoke again: "Don't disturb Chai Lang, don't mess with yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up if you leave someone to talk to...... There are three, one comes, first explore the movement of the Wei Mansion, you know, now that the military and political affairs of Chang'an are all out of the Wei Mansion, there is a slight change there, and it is not too late for us to make plans. ”
"Besides, Chai Lang can contact a friend, please go to Duke Wei to say a good word or two for Duke Tang, alas, even if you do your best."
"Three, Chai Lang doesn't have to worry too much, now the Chang'an decree, it has been a long time since he left the Beijing Division, as long as he is out of the Beijing Division, the sky is high and the sea is wide, besides, Wei Gong is old and weak, how long can he last?"
Chai Shao's mood was slightly relaxed, you know, when he heard the news, he was upset, one moment frightened, one moment excited, one moment worried, and one moment lucky.
He really doesn't know how his father-in-law is, and what kind of ambition he has, what he is most afraid of is that Tang Guogong is loyal to Da Sui, but there are villains behind him, and that kind of situation is the worst and the most wronged.
The luck was that Tang Guogong was leading the troops outside, and he felt that even if someone made false accusations, no one would act rashly.
Anyway, when he returned to the mansion, his mind was full of mud, and his thoughts were not very clear.
After Mr. Yu's analysis, he gradually calmed down.
At this time, he smiled, "What Sir said is that I am a little worried. ”
At this time, the youngest of the four poured cold water on him.
"Lang Jun is still careful, I have heard some rumors outside recently, some people say that Li Jingdai, the Cheng of Mayi County, entered Beijing with a crime, and hid in the mansion when he was drinking with someone, saying that Tang Gong had great ambitions, and he didn't want to follow it, so he was forced to resign from the official Yunyun, and I didn't know if it was true or not, so I didn't tell Lang Jun."
"But...... There must be a reason for the wind, and between the following, Lang Jun should make plans early. ”
Before the words fell, someone immediately chimed in: "That's right, Wei Gong...... It's terrible, Xuangan is in chaos, Wei Gong led the army to fight to the death, when he was surrounded, he still scolded the Xuangan rebels and thieves, and swore not to surrender...... Now the courtiers are afraid of it, like ghosts...... The Duke of Tang led the troops outside, and there were many people who were jealous. ”
"Once Duke Wei listens to the slander, it will be difficult for Tang Gongzi's heirs and those who stay in Beijing to survive."
Speaking of this, everyone was also silent, and Chai Shao's heart was even more chilling, which was really not an exaggeration at all.
People like Wei Wensheng are the most frightening, once they become fierce, they are three points more ruthless than the emperor.
In fact, the result of some deliberation is to stay first, prepare to escape, and then wait and see what happens, of course, to write to Tang Guogong Li Yuan, informing him of the change in Beijing, so that Tang Guogong Li Yuan also has a preparation.
After several counselors retired, Chai Shao was restless, and simply ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and then left the mansion and came to the Tang Guogong Mansion.
There's no way, this wife married a little unjustly, and as soon as she got married, there was a lot of estrangement.
But after all, the Chai family stepped onto the Li family's big ship, and was tied to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, in one place, which can be described as both glory and loss.
At this time of upset, he needs to see his wife, no matter whether the third lady of the Li family is as smart and beautiful as she said, she is always the daughter of Tang Guogong, seeing her, no matter what, it can always make him feel at ease, right?
…………………………
At this time, in the back house of the Tang Guogong Mansion, Li Xiuning did not get together with the ladies in the mansion, but ran into his father's study and instructed the maid to bring pen and ink.
After brewing for a long time, I began to write and paint.
When Chai Shao was brought over, Li Xiuning in the study was throwing the pen down directly in annoyance, she had always loved cleanliness, and she didn't care about the ink on the table, so she beat the table twice in annoyance, crumpled the paper that had just written some words, and threw it on the ground.
The mouth also kept muttering, "I still said that we were friends, and I didn't even hear from him, and if I made a friend like you, I was blind......"
Obviously, the noble daughter of the Li family, who has lacked male friends since she was a child, is thinking about the friend in the distance, full of nonsense, heartless, but quite unique.
I want to write a letter to that person, but I feel that the words in the letter are not satisfactory, and I can't satisfy myself, no way, from childhood to adulthood, I haven't passed books to outsiders, especially a big man. (To be continued.) )
