Nightfall Chapter 95: Tang Buluan
This general is not from Li Yu, nor from the queen, but from Xu Shi.
He didn't know why the princess asked such a question. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Since there is no will, the general is naturally still in the south."
"At this time, it's better to be frank. If I didn't expect it to be wrong, after the news of the father's death spread to Nanzhao, General Xu Shi has already embarked on his return journey."
Li Yu said: "Now is not the time to investigate these things. I want you to tell the old general. Today's Chang'an City, today's empire is the time when he is most needed. It will be against him, please be careful of the old general."
The general did not expect that the princess did not blame the military for his own actions, but instead gave such an order, saying: "Please rest assured, the general will return to Chang'an safely."
Hearing these words, Li Yu finally relaxed a little.
The next one who was brought into the Imperial Study Room by the **** was Song Yushi.
Yushi has nothing to do with military and political affairs. Li Yu summoned him because of military and political affairs, because this Song Yushi was her liaison with the lords of Qinghe County.
"The imperial court has transferred back to the Zhenbei Army, and the first part of the Western Army and the Zhennan Army have also received military orders, and soon they will go north to resist the cavalry of the Golden Horde Court. The temple of Xiling has been planning for many years. Before it disappears, there must be a large army from the south. If you want to stop them, you can only rely on the navy on Daze and the Qinghe county lords."
The things that Li Yu said were all arrangements for the court to go to the open road. There is no problem of leaking secrets. She quietly looked at Song Yushi and said: "The palace will not forget the promises to the Qinghe County clergy. I also hope that the lords will perform at this time. The palace is very much looking forward to the arrangements of the lords in the Xiling Temple."
Song Yushi did not hesitate to kneel down on his knees, bowed to each other, and said sincerely: "Please rest assured, your Royal Highness, Qinghe County’s 100,000 state army and the lords totaling 30,000 Zhuang army, will definitely join the navy divisions. Cooperate. Desperately, we must keep the enemy from the temple and the southern Jin army south of Daze. Even if we lose the enemy, we will definitely buy enough time for the empire."
"Very good." Li Yu said while looking at him quietly.
When Song Yushi left, Mo Han, a scholar of the Yinghuadian University, walked out from behind the bookshelf. He looked at the closed door of the Imperial Study Room, and said with a slight worry: "If there is a general of the town and country in Chang'an, both the military and the people will be further stabilized. The minister is worried about Qinghe County, although the lords have surrendered for many years..."
"Don’t worry. It took so many resources to push Hunyuan and I to this position. Even if they have other ideas. It’s impossible to force a change of direction in such a short period of time, otherwise that This powerful tearing force will cause great problems inside the valves."
Li Yu didn't wait for him to finish, but said indifferently: "Furthermore, the descendants of the clans, including the second son of Mrs. Cui and several grandchildren, are all in Chang'an. How can they give birth to alienation?"
Mo Han thought for a moment, and felt that there were indeed no loopholes in the arrangement of His Highness, but the worried expression on his face had not been completely eliminated, and said: "There is still nothing in the academy?"
Li Yu was silent, and suddenly picked up a piece of paperweight from the case and threw it to the ground.
With a snap, the paperweight shattered into countless pieces.
She couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and her body trembled slightly: "The academy is still closed for visitors...I have kept the academy in Datang for thousands of years, and now the empire is in danger. Are they still not willing to take action?"
At this moment, an **** whispered a word outside the royal study room.
Li Yu's anger was not quenched, and the cold voice faded.
The eunuch's voice trembled, but he didn't retreat as he said, and continued to say that someone wanted to see your Highness.
Li Yu was stunned when he heard that person's name.
Mo Han frowned slightly. Said: "His Royal Highness himself sees him, and the officer retire first."
……
……
The person who entered the palace overnight and insisted on seeing her Royal Highness was Chao Xiaoshu. It's no wonder that neither the guards nor the chief **** dared to repel, or even not to report.
Li Yu looked at the middle-aged man in the green shirt under the autumn tree. After a moment of silence, he said: "A few days ago, I made a special trip to invite Second Uncle Chao into the palace. Second Uncle Chao ignored him. Why did he come to see me again today?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "His Royal Highness saw me a few days ago because of government affairs. I told His Majesty back then that I would not care about Tang Dynasty politics, so I would not enter the palace to see you."
Li Yu frowned slightly and asked: "Then why would you like to see me again tonight?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "Because this is no longer a matter of government affairs, but is related to the safety of Datang."
Li Yu said: "If you have anything to do with Uncle Chao, please tell me directly."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "I want to ask two imperial edicts."
Li Yu was a little surprised, and asked: "Imperial Decree? What are you going to do?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "A sacred decree is given to the Yulong Gang. If Chang'an City is confused by the Taoists of the Xiling Temple, Brother Bangzhong will come forward to suppress your majesty."
Li Yu looked at him quietly, seeming to want to see if there are other meanings hidden in his words, and said: "Chang'an City will not be chaotic, so I don't think this imperial decree is necessary."
Chao Xiaoshu looked at her and said: "His Royal Highness is really confident that Chang'an City will not be chaotic?"
Li Yu said: "There is Chang'an Mansion in the city, there is a guard, and there is a Xiaoqi camp..."
Without waiting for her to finish her words, she said to Xiaoshu: "The second purpose I want to ask is related to the Xiaoqi Camp. I want your Majesty or Your Highness to grant me temporary authority to govern the Xiaoshu camp."
Li Yu's brow furrowed deeper and he didn't understand his request. He said, "I have promised that Chang'an City will never be chaotic. No matter how disgusting the officials who are loyal to the queen, I will definitely not If you can do something with them, then what do you still want to do?"
"I want to leave with Xiaoqi Camp."
"Are you leaving Chang'an?"
"Not bad."
Chao Xiaoshu looked at her and said: "You and I know that all the military power of the Tang Dynasty now has to be used to resist the Golden Tent Palace, and the army north of the Xiling Temple, and a part of it is left to stare at the Moon Kingdom. Now that the Northeast Frontier Army has been destroyed, the court can no longer find any army to resist the army from Yan State."
Li Yu shook his head and said, "Gushan County and all states have Xiangjun."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "The Xiang Army is slow to move and cannot keep up with the speed of the steppe cavalry."
Li Yu said: "Those prairie cavalry in the Eastern Desolation, there is no danger, even if they are released into the border, it will not affect the overall battle."
"But the people in the eastern part of Datang will be killed, taken captive, and burned alive."
Chao Xiaoshu looked at him quietly and said: "I know what you are thinking. Indulge in those prairie cavalry invasions. As long as they rob and kill and burn, the more corrupt their military discipline, the more their actions Sluggishness, like a greedy bear, will eventually become tired, and even eat until there is no food at all, so it will not be able to threaten the vitals of Chang'an and Datang’s most prosperous and prosperous people."
Li Yu asked coldly: "Is this wrong?"
"The loss of some old and weak women and children. Ordinary people. The burned fields are also the villages and the ruined towns, but they can save the whole army. It may be exchanged for the peace of the Tang Dynasty...If you look at it this way, it is of course correct. It can even be called a wise decision. A calm response."
After Chao Xiaoshu was silent for a moment, he said: "But Datang is not just Chang'an City. Those old and weak women and children, ordinary farmers are also Tang people. Those villages and ruined towns are also Datang."
Li Yu said: "So...you are going to the East with Xiaoqi Camp?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "Yes, if the first emperor was still alive, he should have done this long ago."
Li Yu said: "Even if you know that Xiaoqi Camp can't change the situation in the east at all?"
Chao Xiaoshu said: "At least. We want people on that land to know that Datang has not forgotten them."
Li Yu was silent for a long time, and then said: "I will not give you the first will."
Chao Xiaoshu said: "Thank you, Your Highness."
……
……
When Li Yu summoned people in the Imperial Study Room, her younger brother Li Hunyuan was also talking to people in her palace, but the conversation was not pleasant.
He Mingchi glanced at the dark night of His Highness and turned his head. Looking at Li Hunyuan with a pale face, she said, "Chao Xiaoshu is in the Imperial Study Room at this time, but I don't know what he and His Highness are talking about."
Li Hunyuan waved his arms extremely anxiously, and shouted: "Those things are naturally arranged by the emperor, you care about what those things do. I only ask if you have any way to contact the people at Xiling Temple." /
He Mingchi bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty. Even if they can contact the Xiling Temple at this time, it is impossible for them to change their minds. You must know that the temple has issued a statement of reprimand and both sides have torn their faces."
Li Hunyuan was stunned when he heard the words, her face became increasingly ugly, her right hand trembling constantly, trying to hold the teacup on the table for a drink, but almost knocked the teacup to the ground.
"Hurry up and find a way."
He said: "If you can't contact Xiling Temple, then quickly let people find a way to contact General Xu Shi and tell him that Xiling Temple is going to ambush him on the road."
He Mingchi was slightly startled when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty...Do you want this to be exposed?"
Li Huiyuan slowly raised her head, stared at him fiercely, gritted her teeth and said with a cold voice: "Even if the military knows that I have tried to join forces with the enemy to punish General Zhen Guo, I will also deal with this matter. Save it!"
"I thought it was only Long Qing who was harassing the side with the prairie cavalry, but when I thought, it turned out to be a world war! If I want to keep the Tang, I want to keep the general, you go and do it right away!"
……
……
Chao Xiaoshu left the palace.
He didn't take the imperial decree, but Li Yu's handwritten script.
Now Li Yu Jianguo has this handwritten script, and the leader of the Xiaoqi Camp is his own brother, so he is confident that he can take Xiaoqi Camp and leave Chang'an.
After returning to Henger Street of Chunfeng Pavilion, Chaozhai began to set up a banquet and invited theatrical troupe.
At this moment when the Tang Dynasty is in a turbulent period, these styles are really a bit dazzling.
But no matter whether it was the guests attending the banquet, Linzi who was crying silently with her child, or the old lady holding a cane and looking peacefully, no one made any comments.
This is a farewell wine, a great wine.
……
……
Song Yushi left the palace.
According to Li Yu's intention, he first went to the Qinghe Guild Hall, met with the children of the Qinghe County clans, and had a long conversation with the second son of the old man.
Then he took the second son of Cui back to the mansion, held a banquet, and invited more than ten singers to the fun.
After the banquet was over, Song Yushi got drunk.
Mrs. Yushi waited on him heartily and said: "Drunk and hurt the body, and the master himself is Yushi. If you do this kind of thing at this moment, I'm afraid you will be attacked."
Song Yushi opened his eyes, looked at the curtain on the top of the bed, and after a long silence, he smiled and said: "There are many kinds of banquets, farewell wine, grand wine, tonight’s banquet, I’m letting the palace Look, I want the palace to feel that we are offering a glass of wine to sacrifice our old folks in our hometown."
"How can the imperial court be completely relieved of those of us from Qinghe County? Whether it is me or the second son of Cui, every clergyman in the Qinghe Guild Hall, there are secret guards who follow all the year round."
"So in the end, it is a dead word."
"This wine tonight is actually courageous wine."
"But for the sake of a thousand generations, it is the soul-breaking wine, and I have to drink it all at once."
……
……
The night hung over the mountain.
There is a barracks at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, which is composed of more than ten military accounts.
In one of the military tents, painful coughs continued to be heard.
Xu Shi is already very old. No matter the wrinkles on his face or the lung disease he suffered from day after day, he proved this point, but he did not allow himself to fall, especially at this moment. .
He is the General of Datang Town, the de facto leader of the military. He is deeply trusted and favored by His Majesty the Emperor. For most of these years, he has been in the Zhennan Army because the hot and humid climate in the south is good for his health. .
Liaoshan is hundreds of miles away from the Zhennan Army, but it’s a little bit north, and the annoying lung disease recurs. The old general’s chest is like a broken drum, making all the guards in the camp feel pain.
In the controversy for the throne, General Xu Shi, the most powerful discourse, remained silent. Because of the vigilance of the academy, many people, including Li Yu’s sister and brother, suspected that he secretly supported the empress, but the facts proved He does not support anyone, he only supports His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor passed away, so he supported the emperor's will, so he now supports Li Yu sister and brother. However, when the imperial decree to call him back to Beijing did not reach the Zhennan Army, he suddenly felt that this matter was a bit strange.
He left the Zhennan Army with more than a hundred guards, sneaked into the mountains and forests, and headed for Chang'an City.
Overnight at the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain.
Wang Jinglue once again questioned the general's decision. Xu Shi glared his eyes and shouted sharply: "I will be out, you will not suffer from your fate, not to mention that you are all **** gone now!"
Wang Jinglue recalled this sentence later, always feeling a lot of embarrassment. When people are old, they will always become like a child who likes to be angry. General Xu Shi is anxious to return to Chang'an. There is a reason why he is worried about the affairs of the country, but if he thinks deeper, it's just that he is eager to go back to see your Majesty for the last .
