Chapter 1255 - A Soldier's Advice That Is Not a Soldier's Advice
Although Du Shiyi did not enter the city with 6,000 soldiers and horses from the three towns at the beginning, he almost pointed his nose at Li Longji and scolded Li Longji on the main floor of the diligent government, and threw out the mention of asking the Son of Heaven to take the throne of King Xian. As a result, these 6,000 soldiers and horses quickly entered the city, and as for the place of placement, it was still in the left and right Longwu Army and the left and right Yulin Army garrisons in the Yintaimen of Daming Palace.
Since the return of the Fourth Army at the North Gate after the Ma Weiyi Incident, the personnel has been reduced by more than half, and these 6,000 people are more than enough to settle down. But if it is said that when Du Shiyi recovered Chang'an in the past, he stationed Shuofang and Anbei soldiers and horses in the forbidden garden behind the Daming Palace, it was a matter of urgency. However, according to the rumors deliberately released by Li Li, the king of Nanyang, when Du Shiyi did not return to Hebei, as soon as the rumors that he might be murdered by the Son of Heaven came out, the army was unstable at the front, and this assassination plot attracted extreme indignation from top to bottom of the army.
At that time, there will never be a miracle like when An Lushan's rebels knocked on Tongguan and invaded Chang'an, and the reinforcements arrived in time!
Pei Kuan heard these rumors, but he didn't comment a word, but just ordered someone to announce Du Shiyi's abstention. Although most of the ministers are willing to abdicate the Son of Heaven and make way for the virtuous, and choose the sage to succeed among the princes and grandchildren, Du Shiyi publicly reprimanded the Son of Heaven in the main hall, and there are few Qingliu who are very indignant about this, plus the soldiers and horses of the three towns are stationed in the forbidden garden, and some people even secretly scold Du Shiyi behind his back This is trying to be Cao Cao! Therefore, when I heard that not only Du Shiyi himself gave up this election, but also his son Du Youlin, relatives and friends such as Jiang Du Dou Yi also abstained, those discussions dissipated a lot, and what was more was doubt.
Du Shiyi really plans to wait for Xinjun to return to Hebei? What the hell did he think about this?
The closed-door thank-you guests of the Du Mansion in Xuanyangfang seem to confirm the authenticity of this news. It's just that, compared to the past, there are now a full five hundred elites of the Three Towns stationed here. And Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli also returned to their private houses and reunited with their wives and children, and released the rumor that the promotion of the virtuous king was a matter of Beijing officials, and they did not mix. At this moment, as all the flying dragon horses that were originally stationed in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion were withdrawn to the Flying Dragon Stable, some of the dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren who were still suspicious at first went crazy.
There are a number of officials above the fifth grade, compared to the previous Sacred Heart Alone, this time it is to see how many abilities they have to show their magical powers!
"This is the first time in my life that I hate myself for being a daughter, such a big scene on the upper floor of the diligent government, Cui Lang and Ah Di can see it, but I can't see it, I can only listen to what others say!"
In the dormitory of Du Mansion, Du Xianhui looked remorseful and hateful, and Wang Rong was angry and funny. She flicked her finger on her daughter's smooth forehead, and then she said angrily: "Do you think that situation is really only majestic, not dangerous? In case your grandfather is attacked by the crowd, then it's not a joke! It's just that so many people were present, and you were actually suppressed by your grandfather, which shows that people's hearts are back. ”
"Yes, His Majesty is now unpopular! But also, there is no longer Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong to carry the black pot for him. Even Colliers was already disheartened, where would he go to find someone of sufficient weight to share these charges? Cui Peng sneered unceremoniously, remembering that when he first took office, he was still being pointed at behind his back, but one afternoon, the news spread all over the place, and the subordinates who had scrutinized in the past also changed their faces, but they all asked what his opinions were on the matter of promotion.
After all, as the first order in the world, the 10,000-year order is a high-ranking official of the fifth grade! Even if he is a jinshi and a first, starting from a school secretary or a county lieutenant or a sixth cao to join the military, he has to serve five or six terms, and he is in his early forties, before he can sit in this position!
"Father-in-law, since you and Youlin have abstained, then I ......"
Du Shiyi knew what Cui Peng was thinking. He abstained, but the Jingzhao Du clan still has a few high-ranking officials above the fifth rank in the court, and the Qinghe Cui clan is not to mention, Cui Peng is a junior, and there are many people in the Cui clan within the five suits. So, he smiled slightly: "Youlin follows me, the heir of Chu Guogong and the heir Bi Guogong are limited by their duties, coupled with anger, Guo Cheng and the two are the envoys of the festival who returned to Beijing with me, and they don't want to give people the impression that the military admonition is for personal gain, so they all say that they don't mix." As for you, if you have a good dragon son and a phoenix grandson, you will nominate it, if you can't look down on it, you will abstain from voting and choose it from your heart. ”
Cui Peng suddenly hesitated. He wanted to ask again, but Du Xianhui had already pulled his sleeve hard. Seeing that it was not early, for fear of curfew on the road, she pulled her husband to say goodbye, but repeatedly begged her father to visit her mother-in-law and aunt Du Shisanniang tomorrow, Du Shiyi naturally agreed with a smile. When she and Cui Peng got out of the Du Mansion and got on the horse together, they returned to the Cui Mansion in Pingkang Fang under the strict protection of the entourage, and as soon as they entered the Aconitum Gate and dismounted, she whispered to Cui Peng, who was a little worried beside her: "I think, what Grandpa is worried about is that Uncle will come to grind you at that time, and you are not easy to explain." ”
This uncle refers to Cui Jiuniang's husband Wang Jin. Cui Peng came to his senses all of a sudden, and on the rest of the way, he was silent until a crisp fifth aunt came from beside him, and he noticed that Cui Wuniang was actually standing at the corner gate. Because his mother treated this fifth aunt as a half-master courtesy, Cui Peng also had great respect for Cui Wuniang, and hurriedly saluted with Du Xianhui.
Cui Wuniang bowed slightly, and then said concisely: "Your uncle, aunt, uncle, and the elders of Xifu are all waiting for you in the main hall, go quickly!" ”
Du Xianhui wanted to ask why Cui Wuniang didn't go, but this time it was Cui Peng who grabbed her. After saluting and agreeing, Cui Peng dragged her and hurried to the direction of the main hall, until Cui Wuniang's figure gradually faded away, he stopped and asked solemnly: "Grandfather has a total of three sons, Grandpa represents Grandpa, plus all the people in Xifu, it seems that all three branches of Great-grandfather's room have arrived." What you just said is certainly reasonable, but in the current situation, I can really understand what Grandpa means. Grandpa only has Du Anzhi and Du Wangzhi's two cousins, both of whom are the only ones who look forward to him, and they are not in Chang'an, but the Cui family is different. ”
Cui Peng's great-grandfather Cui Zhiwen has a total of three sons, Cui Tai's former official Huangmen Shilang, the Ministry of Industry and other positions, the title of the founding prince of Qinghe County, Cui Qingzhi's early death, Cui Gezhi is also a countless official, once worshiped the Taifu Qing, inspected the school in the imperial history, and was awarded the title of Zhao Guogong. Although the three branches are now in different ups and downs, they have many children and grandchildren, and they have always lived next to each other, and when they encounter this kind of big event, not to mention that he can't represent the branch of his grandfather Cui Gezhi, even his father Cui Jianxuan can't do it!
Tonight, I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries there are in Chang'an City, and the ministers are staying up all night to discuss urgently!
The daughter and son-in-law left, and after returning home, Du Shiyi, who had slept peacefully for a nap, was dressed in a casual robe at this time, leaning leisurely beside his wife, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Guangyuan?" ”
"The country of Shi was destroyed, Gao Xianzhi won a complete victory and returned to Khotan, as for the sacrifice of prisoners and sacrifices, because of the rebellion of An Lushan, it was put on hold for the time being. Although Guangyuan is the last of the five, it is rare for him to have such feats at his age. Wang Rong appraised the merits of his eldest son pertinently, and then smiled faintly, "It is said that His Majesty originally handed a message to Pei Xiangguo, saying that it was Guangyuan Jiangmen Huzi, who made great contributions at a young age, and should be greatly rewarded, so as to arouse the upward heart of the children of the minister, and set up the deputy capital of Anxi, and all knew the soldiers and horses, but was stopped back by Pei Xiangguo's righteous words. ”
"Oh, Changkuan really lives up to his name as a left-hand minister!" Du Shiyi couldn't help laughing, "King Nanyang used to sue me about this matter as a favor, but he didn't want to think about it, if it was really Jiangmen Huzi, how could he be willing to eat this trick and kill him?" Not to mention that Guangyuan is still young, even if his martial arts and military strategy are good, how can he be compared with Gao Xianzhi's achievements in destroying the country? How can you fight with a veteran like Li Siye? ”
"You're relieved that our son won't swallow the bait!" Wang Rong was also worried that his eldest son would not notice whether he would have a stalemate with Gao Xianzhi for a while, but the Western Regions were too far away, and Du Guangyuan was on an expedition, so even if she sent messengers, it was impossible for her to command remotely all the time. Besides, the eagle will spread its wings after all, and she can only be ruthless. Now, after she said a word, she took out her eldest son's private message and stuffed it into Du Shiyi's hand, "Guangyuan's letter, although it mentions military exploits, is very unoptimistic about the situation on the side of Shiguo, saying that even if it destroys the country, it will be difficult to deter the big cannibals. ”
Du Shiyi flipped through the letterhead, and finally sighed lightly: "If it is said that the Turks and Tubo are already the strong Tibetan countries in the minds of my Tang people, then the Great Food is not only more extensive, but also more powerful!" Fortunately, An Lushan's chaos was eliminated quickly, otherwise he would have to deal with it next! ”
"Since you, the father, have returned, it is difficult for Guangyuan to return from the Western Regions, but why did you let Youlin stay in the palace at this time and not come back to see him? Isn't Wynne already stationed in the Forbidden Garden with the commander-in-chief of the Three Towns? ”
Wang Rong is not so much a question as a question, and Du Shiyi will not hide his wife. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "Do you think that I threw such a big bait just to be a good person for myself?" At this time, in addition to looking for a way, do you think someone will make some trouble because of the desire for profit? Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people for a long time, but now at this time, the hearts of the people can be seen clearly in an instant. ”
It was only at this time that Wang Rongfang really understood Du Shiyi's intentions. The reason why the husband brought back so many soldiers and horses, but deliberately shrunk all his strength temporarily, was waiting for those people to go crazy for the sake of profit! After all, the division between the Son of Heaven and the kings is not only worlds apart!
This is a military admonition that is not a military admonition!
