Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 748 : Headache!joke!

You said that Xiao Yu is already an extremely human minister, so why bother to fight for life and death for those disdainful children in the family?

However, Xiao Yu is narrow-minded and extremely Buddhist. Mao Dun and his self-proclaimed elegant aloof personality made him look down on Xu Tian and other upstarts of the imperial court who came from the common clan, so much so that he felt resentment after knowing that the children of the family were beheaded by Qin Wenyuan. In my heart, I want to put Xu Tian to death.

What Xiao Yu played gave Li Shimin a headache, and he scolded Qin Wenyuan in his heart for causing him a lot of trouble, but what should he do? He had to think of a way to calm Xiao Yu's anger. .

The biggest reason why Li Shimin felt that this matter was difficult was because of Empress Xiao. This old emperor is also a pervert. The former Sui empress who still had a charm hooked up together, and now the children of the Xiao family were killed, and the person who killed the Xiao family was not only a capable minister recognized by the empire, but also his son-in-law.

In the court hall, Li Shimin listened to Xiao Yu's playbook and fell silent for a while, Xiao Chaoyu, the servant of Zhongshu, clapped his hands and played.

"Your Majesty! I think that Qin Wenyuan is no longer suitable to continue to govern Pingzhou affairs. Attacking and killing the Xiongwu army is a crime that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy. The imperial court should send imperial envoys to Pingzhou to arrest Qin Wenyuan and interrogate him, so as to clean up the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"No!"

At this moment, Du Ruhui said loudly and knelt down under Jin Luan.

"Your Majesty! I think that Xiao Yu's play is just a family story. What happened in Pingzhou is unknown. Presumably Qin Wenyuan should have this play. I ask the emperor to send someone to find out the truth of the matter."

Hearing Du Ruhui's play, Li Shimin immediately asked the elder Sun Wuji who was the third division of Shangshu Youpushe, Zhongshuling and Kaifu Yitong.

"Did grandson Aiqing receive the memorial from Qin Wenyuan in Pingzhou?"

Changsun Wuji took a few steps forward and took out a memorial from the sleeve of his robe and said softly.

"Your Majesty! I didn't go to the yamen to be a council member recently due to physical discomfort. I just saw the memorial from Pingzhou yesterday."

As he said that, Changsun Wuji presented the memorial from Pingzhou, and Eunuch Liu, the eunuch, took it and forwarded it to the emperor for reading.

After reading Qin Wenyuan's memorial, Li Shimin was furious for a moment, and said sharply to all the ministers.

"Xiao Yi is so courageous, he dared to resist the order and provoke a war. If Qin Wenyuan's performance is true, then he should be killed!"

"Your majesty can't be fooled by Qin Wenyuan! That kid has always been bold and reckless, what is he afraid to do?"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Xiao Yu said loudly again.

"See for yourself!"

Li Shimin was angry that Xiao Yu still refused to let go, so he threw Qin Wenyuan's memorial in front of him...

Xiao Yu picked up the memorial and read it in panic, his face instantly became a little embarrassed. Based on his understanding of the Xiao family's children, Qin Wenyuan's memorial may be true.

"All ministers, take a look!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's embarrassed face, Li Shimin said this to all the officials in the hall.

Hearing what the emperor said, Li Jing and other generals took the memorial from Xiao Yu's hand, and several people crowded together to watch it. What happened in Pingzhou was clear at a glance, and all the generals admired Qin Wenyuan for not being afraid of the Xiao family's influence, and his methods were iron and blood.

Fang Xuanling and other civil servants also came forward to watch. Du Ruhui took the memorial from Li Jing and shared it with the audience before passing it on to his colleagues crowded behind.

"Your Majesty! My minister played Changsun Wuji to detain Qin Wenyuan's memorial to Datian Ting, and his intentions are not right. If this is an urgent report for the border army, wouldn't it delay the opportunity of the war and put the army and people of the Tang Dynasty at a disadvantage."

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly jumped out to attack Changsun Wuji first, Yuchi Jingde and other generals knew that the urgent report from the border to the court was very important, if someone withheld the memorial, it would be a violation of the hearts of the generals taboo.

Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Xu Shiji, Chai Shao and other generals in the imperial court came out one after another to play the elder Sun Wuji's dereliction of duty and wrong intentions.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other civil servants also disdain Changsun Wuji's obvious suppression of Xu Tian. They just want to drag the news of Pingzhou to make the emperor listen to Xiao Yu's performance without knowing the truth. It can be avoided due to physical discomfort, but who knows that this is Changsun Wuji who wants to conspire with the Xiao family to frame Qin Wenyuan?
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, as the heads of civil servants of the Tang Dynasty, could not allow such absurd things to happen in the court.

"Your Majesty! My humble minister Zuo Changsun Wuji is in charge of the Zhongshuling but he is deceiving the emperor."

Changsun Wuji heard that many important officials of the court participated in the performance of himself. He knew that in order to please Xiao Yu, he made such a low-level mistake by relying on Li Shimin's favor and the influence of the eldest grandson's family in the court. Listening to Xiao Yu's words, the two partnered to suppress Qin Wenyuan.

At this moment, this guy didn't care about his own face anymore, kneeling under Jin Luan and said with tears all over his face.

"Your Majesty! It's all my fault that I left the border memorial for today because I was lazy in political affairs. I am guilty of this crime, please punish me."

How did Li Shimin not know the tricks played by Changsun Wuji, but he didn't expect that this fellow would cooperate with an old family like Xiao Yu out of hatred in his heart. This touched his bottom line. As the emperor of the empire, What he is most afraid of is that the aristocratic family will twist into one rope to manipulate the government, but this is a threat to the imperial power, and there are many uncertain factors.

"Changsun Wuji! You are so courageous. How dare you withhold the memorials given to me by the border gates? It is really abhorrent. If you want to get rid of Zhongshuling and Youshang Shupu, you will be sent back to the house to think about your mistakes. You must be summoned and not go to the palace for discussion .”

After Li Shimin gave the verbal instructions, Changsun Wuji was on the edge of the sword this time, no one would intercede for him at this time, including Xiao Yu who also fell silent.

Seeing that no one in the hall spoke, Li Shimin said again.

"The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of History sent personnel to Pingzhou to investigate the killing of the Xiongwu Army and Xiao Yi. After the investigation is clear, we will discuss who is responsible. Retire!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin got up and retreated to the inner palace.

After the emperor left in the main hall, the civil and military ministers formed a circle of good friends and still talked secretly about what happened in the hall today. Xiao Yu murmured with Wei Ting, Wang Yuting, Zhang Gongjin, Changsun Wuji, etc. with a gloomy face, not knowing what to say Then they left the hall together.

……

A few days later, Qin Wenyuan knew what happened in the court from the information submitted by Chen Laosan. Qin Wenyuan smiled and didn't pay much attention. In his heart, all the conspiracies were nothing compared to strength, not worth mentioning. Besides, he didn't have the energy to intrigue with these ministers who had eaten too much and had nothing to do all day long. The news that Ma San sent back from Songmo City already made him very interested.

Prince Tao, the general guard of Songmo City, was originally General Ningyuan of the Sui Army. There are about [-] soldiers in the army. There are many ethnic groups in the army, and there are many gangs among the lower-level officers. The overall combat ability is low, but they have close ties with the Khitan cavalry in private.

The terrain of Songmo City is dangerous, with Pingzhou in the southwest and Yingzhou in the south, forming a triangle in the west of Liaoning.

In the second year of Tang Zhenguan, Mohui, the leader of the eight tribes of Khitan, led his tribe to attach himself to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin followed the traditional Khitan customs and bestowed banners and drums on Mohui, and recognized Mohui as the leader of the Khitan Alliance, making him lead the tribes of Khitan on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. However, although the eight tribes of the Khitan are an alliance, they each focus on the interests of the tribes. When dealing with foreign tribes, they can fight together, but internal affairs such as hunting and production are independent. The leaders of the alliance do not have much power. As a result, Datang's jurisdiction over Khitan was of little significance.

Wang Zitao thinks very highly of himself, often ignores the heroes of the world, and does things arbitrarily. It is precisely because the Khitan's loose alliance gave him an opportunity to privately form an alliance with the Dahe clan under the banner of the Tang Dynasty. Some of the Khitan tribes under the banner colluded and turned Gesongmo into a miasma, and the people suffered unspeakably.

Knowing this situation, Qin Wenyuan already had a rough idea of ​​the situation in Songmo City, and concluded that if such a place is to be completely resolved and brought under his command, the best way is to remove Wang Zitao and disband the Songmo City defenders The idea of ​​making it for the people.

On this day, at the yamen of the Governor's Mansion in Pingzhou, Qin Wenyuan summoned all the generals in the army and assigned them to Songmo City to act.

"Ma San! Hurry up to Qizhou to pass on our military order to transfer dozens of Confucian scholars selected by the department to Pingzhou with the warship. After this matter is completed, you will hide and pass the news to Songmo City."

"I will not be ordered!"

After Ma San took the order to go, Qin Wenyuan continued.

Tomorrow the Japanese governor wants to lead [-] cavalry to go to Songmo City to act, followed by Kilisu Gu, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yiai, and Luo Shixin. For the construction of various parts of Pingzhou and Lulong City to the surrounding cities, the most urgent task is to develop the people's livelihood in Pingzhou, so that the people can live in houses, farm land, and do business as soon as possible. This requires Sima to join the army and supervise the government. , All officials who act negligently will be dismissed from their posts and taken into custody for questioning.

All the generals ordered to go to prepare for the dispatch of troops tomorrow, while Sima Yuntian and Zhao Meng stayed in the mansion to drink tea and chat.

Talking about future development, Sima Yuntian seemed to think of something, put down the tea bowl in his hand and said slowly.

"Xiaotian! The construction of Pingzhou cost a lot of silver. Do you consider setting up a large caravan to conduct business with various tribes in the grassland, selling various items produced in Qizhou to various tribes for high profits? The future bazaar in Lulong City will have an early commercial effect, and at the same time will revitalize the commercial routes between Hebei Road and Liaoxi. The concern is that the various passes along the line from Youzhou to Pingzhou will be exploited by soldiers guarding the pass. It is very detrimental to our vision of developing commerce and trade."

After listening to what Sima said, Qin Wenyuan pondered for a while and took over the topic and started talking.

"Chen Laosan and Kang Maidi are preparing for the establishment of a large caravan. As for the matter of the caravan passing through Youzhou to Pingzhou, after I settle the matter of Songmo City, I'm afraid I have to go to Youzhou in person. See Wei Xiaojie for negotiation, now I'll do the matter right now, I don't think Wei Xiaojie would dare not give my Xu family face and deliberately make things difficult."

The next day, after Qin Wenyuan finished practicing the "Heart Sutra", he came to the barracks fully clothed, and saw that Cheng Chumo and others were neatly dressed and lined up in front of the army.

The sound of the order to set off sounded, and all the troops moved after hearing the order, and went out to the north gate of Lulong City to embark on the journey in the face of the bright color in the sky.

Flags fluttered, horseshoes sounded, and dust and smoke billowed all the way!

The brothers from the family surrounded Xu Tian and it was very lively. Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Fang Yiai, three treasures, had been arguing all the way since they left the city, chattering like f*cking sparrows.

Cheng Chumo's two boys, Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yi'ai, teased Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yiai with words "beep beep" so that his eyes were full of anger, he really wanted to beat them back to Lulong City to harm other generals.

But this guy didn't realize it, and didn't care whether others liked it or not, he took the matter of Yuchi Baolin and others losing face in Chang'an City as a joke and kept talking.

Yuchi Baolin said angrily.

"Cheng Dadu! If you continue to talk about the stinking things about the young man in Chang'an City, believe it or not, I will beat you to death."

"Yuchi Xiaohei! I'm afraid of you but the ax in my hand doesn't care about you. If you sleep for a day, you're so confident in your martial arts skills that you'll scare Fang Er, that stupid boy at most."

"Who the hell are you calling a fool...! Believe it or not, I will go back to Chang'an City and tell your father about you."

"Fang Er's idiot! What the hell are you talking nonsense, when did the young master peek at the woman taking a bath, it was Yuchi Xiaohei who asked me to wait and watch together, you are more attentive than anyone else."

Murphy, who was closely following Qin Wenyuan, suddenly heard the words of the boys peeking at the woman taking a bath, blushing, raised his whip and pointed at them, cursing softly.

"Grandma, I'll kill some of your apprentices, and when I go back to Chang'an City, I will tell my uncles to clean up your bad embryos."

"Ah...! Sister, please don't tell my father about this matter. I was just joking about it. In fact, I didn't see anything."

"Still...still talking!"

Murphy scolded with a red face.

Qin Wenyuan and Qin Huaiyu laughed "haha", but Luo Shiyi started to make fun of it.

"You three bastards wake up early like a rooster, and you have the nerve to bring up this matter, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

When the three boys heard Luo Shiyi's teasing words, they all scolded Luo Shiyi in their hearts. If they were not afraid of Murphy being with the army, they would have said many things that should not have been said out loud.

After a burst of laughter, the three of Cheng Chumo finally calmed down, and the whole army began to gallop forward under the clear sky.

At noon, the whole army had already entered the boundary of "Kuancheng", and began to rest and replenish food and grass in an open area. Wu Ping, who had arrived at "Kuancheng" earlier, led hundreds of cavalry to greet him.

From Wu Ping's remarks, Qin Wenyuan learned that Wang Zitao had recently sent troops to harass the new Turkic tribes guarded by Ashisus. For the time being, Qin Wenyuan listened to the opinions of the generals and ordered Wu Ping to lead [-] cavalry to strengthen the defense of the "Kuancheng". Wu Ping immediately led his army to outflank Wang Zitao's army from the right wing, forcing this guy to retreat and dare not attack the Turkic tribe.

Hearing Wu Ping's words, Kilisu Gu was furious, got up and said to Qin Wenyuan.

"Lord! Kili requests that when we attack Wang Zitao's army, we will lead our troops and horses as the vanguard to kill the enemy."
