Chapter 108: Liu Wenjing's counterattack
The Han nationality is the closest ethnic group to the land in the world. The clothes on the body and the food in the mouth, everything comes from the land. Even when building walls, they did not like to build stones like Westerners, but made walls out of rammed earth. Although not as sturdy as Western castles, it is better to use local materials and have high operability.
Facts have once again proved that the wisdom of working people is infinite. The tin stove worked well, but there was only one bad one. That is, you need money to buy!
In the hearts of ordinary people who revolve around saving money to live, spending money is a sin. Do it yourself, you have enough food and clothing, this is what a qualified person should do. Thus, the furnace made of bricks and plaster was born. This is the perfect condition for the stove in the hearts of all poor people, for heating and boiling water, for frying and frying. Best of all, it doesn't cost anything.
Honeycomb coal is very useful, but you need money to buy it. Now that I don't need to, carts and trucks of cinders are pulled back. Living on the loess, you can spread the briquettes yourself. The live coal was filled into the furnace, and the iron skewers pierced a few holes, which seemed to burn better than honeycomb coal.
The consequence of this is that it's time to cook. Not only did the smell of food waft over every household, but there were also puffs of pale blue smoke that filled the sky over Chang'an City. If it's winter, it's even worse. When the weather is bad, it is not much different from the smog of later generations. Being able to enjoy the treatment of future generations thousands of years in advance, Yun Hao felt that he was creating evil.
In any case, industrialization needs coal, and energy is the blood of industry. Today, when the steam engine is still in existence, gasoline refined from petroleum can only play its military use.
It's summer, so there's only a faint smell of fireworks in the morning. Yun Hao rode the Yun family's luxurious carriage into Suzaku Street, and the markets on both sides were opening their doors one after another. One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an are one hundred and eight battle array fortresses. If someone really wants to attack Chang'an City, even if they knock open the thick city wall. In front of these markets, there are also heavy losses.
No matter how Yun Hao wanted to hide at home, there was one person who still needed to be seen. The general who returned from the expedition always had to go to the Taiji Palace and make a face-to-face report to Li Yuan. Especially Yun Hao fought such a hard battle this time, and the strong Zuo Wuwei was abolished, so he had to give Li Yuan an explanation.
The rising sun pierced the faint mist over Chang'an City, and the cornices of Taiji Palace appeared in view. In front of the palace gate, it was as noisy as ever, and the officials waiting for the court were talking in groups of three or five. Of course, in front of the palace gate, their voices were very low. Together, it's quite a bit of a spy on the street.
The Tang Empire, which was established at the beginning of Guozuo, passed a series of military victories. It is moving from chaos to a highly institutionalized era. Everything started to get on track, and so did the rules. At least, the guy who can no longer see a hangover is disheveled in front of the gate of the Taiji Palace.
As soon as Yun Hao, who was dressed in a crimson official robe, appeared in front of the palace gate, everyone immediately saluted him. is too young, and others can be mixed with a scarlet robe at the age of thirty and already thank the eight generations of ancestors. When this brother put on the scarlet robe, Fang was just over seventeen years old.
"Look, Yunhou!" The officials are sneakily pointing and poking, and their images are extremely obscene.
"This time to defeat the Turks, Yun Hou has contributed a lot. This time I heard that I want to be the Duke of Jin, my God! Twenty-year-old Guogong, how will His Majesty be sealed if he makes meritorious contributions in the future! ”
"It's unheard! I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as well as His Royal Highness King Qi and Xue Guogong are going to impeach Yun Hou today! ”
"What? After making such a great achievement, he actually wants to be impeached? Why? ”
"I don't know! Brother, I'm in the military department, of course I know the inside. Brothers don't know yet, Yun Hou sent troops to Shuofang this time, and there was no military order at all. It's an unauthorized army! ”
"Ahh Sending troops without permission is going to kill your head. ”
"Kill the head? Do you think this Hou Ye will be beheaded? To tell you honestly, Yun Hou not only sent troops without authorization, but also tied up Shangshu's right servant to shoot Lu Guogong. Not only did they kidnap people, but even the guards were killed. Originally, Lu Guogong had already negotiated with the Turks, and the Turks had promised to withdraw from the army, this Hou Ye ......! ”
"Oh my God, these heads are enough to cut off! It won't be connected to the Nine Clans! ”
The speaker shook his head and listened to it dumbfounded. Only well-informed people can know the gossip that is not in these newspapers. In many cases, though, the grapevine is surprisingly accurate.
"I don't think I can cut off my head, have you forgotten about the beating of King Qi at the Yunhou Triumph Ceremony? Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and it is not so easy to capsize. But! This Jin Fengguo Gong is going to be Huang, and I heard that the impeachment of Yun Hou has been left behind. Obviously, His Majesty doesn't want Yun Hou to break the rules like this. If all the generals in the army do this, wouldn't it be a mess? The imperial court still has to pay attention to the rules. ”
Pointing and poking along the way, Yun Hao went wherever he went. The crowd would naturally disperse, and everyone would run away as if nothing had happened, and then reunite in a corner with tacit understanding, muttering again.
Yun Hao, who was standing in the crowd, was left out in the cold, lonely like a dog. There was no way, Li Eryi's people and horses followed him on the way back to Chang'an. Those low-level officials dodging themselves like dodging tigers, at the moment when Li Jiancheng basically mastered the government, whoever dared to talk to Yun Hao, the little shoes would immediately fly over like snowflakes. Bury people, and erect a monument to be rich.
When you are lonely, you need friends, and when Li Shentong, who is in a purple robe and jade belt, appears next to Yun Hao, it makes Yun Hao feel like he has seen his relatives.
"Boy, don't pay attention to these inflammatory. If you make a fortune, these people will pounce on them like locusts, and they will not be able to drive them away. But if you're unlucky, they'll pounce too. But it's more like a wolf, and if you can tear off a bite of meat, you will tear off as much as possible. Look at their faces clearly, and don't let any of them go. ”
Li Shentong pointed at those court officials, mighty like a lion. Li Yuan is a dragon, and his brother is naturally a lion. At the roar of the lion, the officials shrank their heads like turtles. Those guys who were fingered by Li Shentong were even more trembling like quails in the cold wind.
As one of the few princes of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shentong's deterrent power is terrifying. The officials consciously closed their mouths, and just now it was as noisy as in front of the palace gate of the vegetable market, so startled that they could hear the heartbeat of people.
Liu Wenjing glared at Li Shentong viciously, this old bastard can always defend Yun Hao's kid. I don't know which of his concubines gave birth to this kid. After glancing at Wei Zheng of the East Palace, they turned their heads very tacitly.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji watched from a distance, and Li Jiancheng grabbed Li Yuanji. For fear that Li Yuanji would rush up and do something bad, he and Yun Hao didn't fight once or twice. What makes people wonder is that Li Yuanji, who has been practicing martial arts all day long, can't beat Yun Hao, who is pampered. Several times of dry fighting, Li Yuanji suffered losses. Now that Li Shentong is by Yun Hao's side, no matter what, Li Yuanji's loss is assured.
Pei Lin stood in the corner watching the monkey show, and he was a standard bystander. The court is now divided into two factions, one supporting the crown prince Li Jiancheng. The other faction supported Li Shimin, the king of Qin. No matter which faction they are, they all want to envelop the prime minister of the dynasty, and Shangshu shoots left.
But the old and spicy Pei Lin just didn't speak, and when he met Li Jiancheng, he would take care of him. Anyway, it is harder to hear a true word from the mouth of this old fox than to ascend to the sky.
Pei Lin has his own ideas, who do you love to protect. Lao Tzu recognized the current emperor, as long as he firmly hugged the thigh of His Majesty the Emperor, no one could do anything to himself. No matter who is the emperor in the future, can there be no prime minister who does things like himself? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't want to see yourself. It is still not a problem to appreciate the Pei family's rich meal.
None of the ministers with their own hearts and minds spoke, and the atmosphere in front of the palace gate was extremely depressing. Fortunately, the star officer opened the palace gate, and the civil and military officials walked into the gate of Taiji Palace on the left and right.
There were not too many people at today's court meeting, and many officials of five or six grades were crowded in. Those petty officials have a fixed position for each station, but the positions of the court bigwigs are fixed. Including Li Shentong and Yun Hao, Li Shentong left Yun Hao's side. Loneliness once again permeated Yun Hao's side, because he was surrounded by marquises. There is also a prince in a purple robe on it! To Yun Hao's surprise, Luo Yi was standing by Li Jiancheng's side. It seems that this old guy has completely defected to the party of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.
What is surprising is that Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche have now become marquises. This is somewhat surprising, these two brothers were defeated by the Turks in Hebei. Xue Wanche was also captured by the Turks, shaved into a bald ladle, and brought back. How did he become a marquis. Thinking that the boss behind them was the crown prince Li Jiancheng, he was relieved. It's still cool under the big tree!
Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to speak. sang the praises of Li Yuan's martial arts, and said it for a long time. In the end, Yun Hao figured out that it was because the Yin Shishi dug up the ancestral grave of the Li family. At that time, Li Yuan had just succeeded in seizing the throne, and there were flames in all directions. He didn't have the energy to repair the ancestral grave, so he just buried it hastily.
Now, six years have passed, and the foundation of the Tang regime has gradually stabilized. As the first family of Datang, a tattered ancestral tomb is really unsightly. So Tang Jian, under the guise of the Tang Dynasty's filial piety to govern the country, set up the project for the ancestral tomb of the Li family. It is said that the initial budget funds have reached 200,000 yuan. If Tang Jian doesn't want to get a chopstick, it is simply a shame to be an official.
I envy Tang Jian very much, and I picked up a good reason to be corrupt. Li Yuan's current finances are tight, and he will not be short of a penny for repairing the ancestral tomb. Tang Jian, the project manager, soon became an errand for farting oil pants.
After the chattering Tang Jian finished speaking, Liu Wenjing jumped out.
"Your Majesty! The minister impeached Lintong Hou Yunhao, and sent troops without an order, causing Zuo Wuwei's 8,000 soldiers to fall into a desperate situation. Although His Royal Highness King Lai Qin rushed to the aid of the starry night, the Zuo Wuwei lost troops and did not save one out of ten soldiers. The old man's persuasion was fruitless, and this son actually killed the old man's attendant. Tie the old man to the Shuofang tower, when the Turks are about to break the city. The shouts of killing outside the city tower shook the sky, and the casualties of the soldiers were almost exhausted. The old man is almost gone, and he can't see His Majesty! Liu Wenjing said, I don't know which nerve was touched, and I actually cried.
The impeachment recitals of the disciples and grandchildren were all left behind, and Liu Wenjing had no choice but to go into battle shirtless and shirtless. If you don't breathe this out, you won't have to mix in the court in the future.
Li Yuan sat majestically on the dragon chair and didn't say a word. just looked at Liu Wenjing below with burning eyes, and then looked at Yun Hao, who looked indifferent.
"Yun Hao, what do you say?" There was silence in the hall, and no one wanted to come out at this time. are all waiting to see the peak showdown of the high-level power of the Tang Empire.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, this time Zuo Wuwei's expedition was led by Luo Cheng, the general of Zuo Wuwei. After the death of Luo Cheng's general Zhou Xipo in the silt river, the minister was ordered to command the remaining troops of Zuo Wuwei. After the Battle of Zhuozhou, Zuo Wuwei should have returned to Chang'an for repairs.
How could I have imagined that the Turks were in an emergency when they seized Hebei, and the ministers and their subordinates rushed to the aid of Xingye and annexed the state, and changed to be controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, all of which had a will. Under the city of Bingzhou, Zuo Wuwei's 9,000 soldiers fought against more than 100,000 Turkic iron cavalry for more than ten days. After the Turks evacuated, Lu Gong came to Bingzhou. It is said that a peace agreement was reached with the Turks, and I, Datang, compensated the Turks with countless grains, grasses, baggage, and silver money, in exchange for the Turks to withdraw their troops.
Such a humiliating treaty is not only a shame for my Tang soldiers, but also a humiliation for the Turks. The lord humiliated the ministers to death, and the ministers could not let His Majesty be humiliated by the Turks under any circumstances. Moreover, the Turks plundered more than 100,000 people in Hebei in our Tang Dynasty and treated them like pigs and dogs.
When he attacked and annexed the state, he once drove the people of my Han family to resist the feather arrows. More than 100,000 people fell into the hands of the Turks, who were as cruel as wolves, and their conditions were very miserable.
The ministers then contacted His Royal Highness the King of Qin and preemptively attacked the isolated city of Shuofang. The soldiers of Zuo Wuwei fought fiercely with more than 100,000 Turks for two days and two nights, killing countless enemies and accumulating corpses. Later, under the response of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the front and rear attacks led to the defeat of the Turks. In this battle, more than 50,000 people were beheaded, and countless people of our Tang Dynasty were rescued.
This is the beginning and end of Zuo Wuwei's battle, Lu Gong impeached Yun Hao for not acting on military orders. Your Majesty can summon His Royal Highness the King of Qin and ask for it! "The Xue brothers have Li Jiancheng as their backer, and Yun Hao also had to move out of Li Erlai. Anyway, Li Er's official position is the general manager of the marching army of Hebei Province, and the army there is under his control. His military orders have the force of law.
"Father! Although Yun Hao has the military order of his second brother, he is not properly commanded. Zuo Wuwei's battle losses reached eighty percent, if there was a second brother's response. I am afraid that Zuo Wuwei has been completely annihilated, and these are all caused by Yun Hao's rash attack on the enemy. How can such a person who does not know soldiers lead my Tang Xiongshi.
In order to prevent him from causing even greater disasters in the future, he will lose his teacher and humiliate the country! Erchen asked for his life, and he went to the rank of general of Yunhao Zuo Wuwei. ”
