Chapter 309: Breaking the Game
On the morning of the next day, Yang Guozhong, the left minister, and Zhang Qiu and Qiong of the household department led the crusade against the Nanzhao State, and dozens of officials seconded the proposal. A cadre of officials is impassioned and righteous and awe-inspiring, and has counted the disrespectful things of the Southern Zhao State, from the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, dozens of large and small cases have been told, and they have successfully stirred up the hostility of many officials in the court.
Xuanzong was cautious, and he had been the Prince of Peace for decades, although the small fights on the border have not stopped, but there has never been a real crusade against other countries. Moreover, the crusade was against the vassal states that nominally bowed down to the Tang Dynasty. However, seeing the excitement of the crowd, the people who played were emotional and tearful, and the necessity of conquering the Southern Zhao to deter the barbarian states around the Tang Dynasty, and thinking of the stupidity and contemptuous actions of the Tubo, Turkic, Silla and other countries in recent years, I also felt that there was a need to kill chickens and monkeys and punish them.
More importantly, Li Linfu, the right minister, did not raise any objections, which made Xuanzong feel that Yang Guozhong's recital was actually recognized by Li Linfu. So after some consideration, Xuanzong approved Yang Guozhong's proposal and agreed that he would lead the crusade against Nanzhao.
Yang Guozhong and the others celebrated with a crown, and they waited with all their strength for Li Linfu to attack when they opposed the recital from above, but they did not expect Li Linfu to be instigated and did not raise any objections, but it also saved a war of words.
Li Linfu saw all this in his eyes, and although Li Linfu saw from the beginning that Yang Guozhong's intention to put forward this proposal was to fight for merit, Li Linfu also knew that Nanzhao was a difficult bone to gnaw, and it was better to let Yang Guozhong touch the nail than to stop it himself. Li Linfu looked down on Yang Guozhong at all, and it was impossible for this unlearned guy to succeed in the battle of Fananzhao. Once he failed to defeat the Southern Zhao, he didn't have to do it himself, and Yang Guozhong buried himself himself. Therefore, Li Linfu maintained a bystander attitude and did not get involved in this matter.
"Let him celebrate, when he cries, we just have to wait to see the show. He was a straw bale, and he was surrounded by straw bales with whiskers and horses, and no one warned him of the danger of this matter, and the old man was really sorry for him. After the next dynasty, in the large public house on the right side of the political affairs hall, Li Linfu said to the cronies around him.
"It seems that Wang Yuan did not second, and at such an important time, Wang Yuan even complained of illness and did not go to court." An official reminded.
Li Linfu then remembered that he didn't seem to see Wang Yuan in the morning, nodded and said: "This Wang Yuan is a strange person, he should be the most strategic one around Yang Guozhong, why didn't he come out this time, could it be said that he and Yang Guozhong fell out?" If it really fell out, it would be Yang Guozhong who destroyed the Great Wall, and I see that except for Wang Yuan, he is surrounded by those straw bales. went to find out the news, if this Wang Yuan really fell out with Yang Guozhong, he would blow the wind and add firewood to them to completely collapse. Maybe the true appearance can take in this Wang Yuan, but it is not known. ”
……
For a whole day, Wang Yuan was thinking about how to solve the dilemma he was currently in, as Gongsun Lan said when he stepped on two boats, sooner or later, he would be in this dilemma. If you don't get it right, you will be disliked by both sides and become a person spurned by both sides.
Although the current situation has not reached the point of exhaustion, the relationship with Yang Guozhong has now entered an impasse, and at this time, Li Fuguo came to ask him to perform his undercover duties, which is to force himself to a dead end. How to break the situation is the best of both worlds, this is exactly the problem that Wang Yuan is thinking about.
From last night to the afternoon, Wang Yuan locked himself in the study to think about this problem, Wang Yuan's emotions affected the hearts of everyone in the family, except for Li Xin'er, no one knew that Wang Yuan was in trouble, but they could all feel that the atmosphere was wrong, full of concern, but they didn't dare to disturb. After lunch, everyone slowly gathered outside the small courtyard outside the study, talking anxiously and whispering to each other, guessing what was going on, but they were also in a hurry and had no choice.
In the evening, the door of the study opened, and Wang Yuan slowly walked out of the study door. The light of the setting sun was too dazzling, Wang Yuan squinted his eyes and used his hands to block the sunlight that slanted onto his face, and stood under the porch and stretched his waist.
When everyone in the Wang family heard this, they gathered around and asked about it with concern. Wang Yuan smiled and said, "What are you doing here?" How did they all gather here? ”
Huang Sandao: "Erlang, you locked yourself in the study for a day, didn't eat or drink, everyone didn't know what happened to you, and they were all very anxious." ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, just read a few books and think about something, don't make a fuss." Everybody go get busy, don't worry, I'm fine. ”
Everyone was skeptical, but seeing that Wang Yuan's mood was stable, they were all relieved, so they dispersed. Li Xin'er stayed behind and waited for everyone to leave, then asked in a low voice, "Has Erlang come up with a countermeasure?" ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I have come up with a solution, but I need to discuss it with you and my cousin." Is my cousin back? ”
"I'll come back in the afternoon, pruning the flowers and trees in the back garden, I told her everything, she told us not to disturb you, let you think of a way to calm down by yourself."
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Cousin can calm down, you really have to learn from her, look at your frowning, everyone can see that you have something on your mind." These things don't have to affect the emotions of the people in the family, look at Saburo and them, they are all frightened, this is not good. ”
Li Xin'er said angrily: "How can I have the cultivation of a master, I just care too much." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and pulled her to the back garden. In the corner of the back garden, Gongsun Lan was dressed in white with her hair in a high bun, holding a flower hoe and scissors in her hand, and was busy playing with the flower trees that were messed up yesterday, looking extremely focused, as if she didn't notice that Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er were standing not far away and looking at her.
Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er stood under a big tree, watching Gongsun Lan busy and distracted. The golden sunset shone on her, gilding her with a layer of gold, and her whole body seemed to shine with a layer of holy light.
"Your master is really beautiful, no wonder His Majesty wanted to include your master in the harem as a concubine, if she agreed, I'm afraid that even the current concubine will have no fun." Wang Yuan praised.
Li Xin'er never eats the master's vinegar, Wang Yuan's words are obviously inappropriate, but Li Xin'er has no sense of discomfort, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the master is a peerless beauty, sometimes I am very jealous of the master, compared with her, we are all vulgar fans." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be presumptuous, I was also amazing when I first saw you, you have a good figure and appearance, and the most important thing is ...... You've been learning kung fu in your room very quickly lately, and I'm very satisfied. ”
Li Xin'er took a sip and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, the master can hear it." ”
Wang Yuan was just about to shake his head and say that he didn't believe it, when he saw Gongsun Lan turn his face, crossed his waist and said angrily: "What are you two chewing tongues behind your backs?" Wang Yuan, don't come to help me pull out this plum tree, yesterday I was beaten by two wild cats and destroyed my plum tree. ”
Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er glanced at each other, stuck out their tongues, and hurriedly walked away, and the three of them worked together to pull out the plum tree that had broken branches from the soil and threw it aside, and replanted a plum blossom with good shape in the same place, Gongsun Lan clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's do this for the time being, take care of it slowly." Xin'er, in the future, you will fight and go to the grass outside the house, and you are not allowed to come to the back garden to destroy my flowers and plants, otherwise I will not follow. ”
Li Xin'er agreed repeatedly, Wang Yuan laughed beside her, Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan and said, "You can still laugh?" What I said in the past was in your ears, but now you are in a hurry. ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, yes, if you don't listen to your cousin, you will suffer in front of you." I'm not actually listening to the wind, it's just that I can only save myself like this. Whoever told me to shout and beat me at that time, I could only be exquisite. ”
Gongsun Lan escaped from the silk handkerchief and gently wiped the fine sweat oozing from her smooth forehead, and said softly: "The matter has come to this, and there is no need to mention the previous things." You've been thinking about it for a day, but can you come up with any good way to do it? ”
Wang Yuan said: "I was about to discuss with you. ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Let's hear it, you are scheming, what is a good way to get out of the predicament this time?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "Maybe it's not a good way, but I think it's really a way to break the game at present." That is, thirty-six plans, go for the top plan. ”
Gongsun Lan, Li Xin'er, asked in unison in surprise: "Go ahead?" What does this mean? Do you want to resign and go into hiding? ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "If I want to live a life of seclusion, why wait until today, didn't I say that you persuaded me to leave Chang'an and wander the world, I don't want to be a person who has nothing to do all my life, although that kind of life seems to be comfortable and chic, but that's not me." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Then what does this 'go for the top' mean?" ”
