Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1254
When Brother Yelu Hua faced the saint, he was stared at by a circle of senior officials and generals, and he was under great psychological pressure.

He was originally a child of a tribe, and his background was just like that. Even A Baoji felt inferior, let alone him?Therefore, whatever Shao Sheng and his ministers asked, he would answer without any concealment, and he was very straightforward.

After the question and answer, Shao Shude hosted a banquet in the newly built Yingyue Pavilion east of Jiaotai Hall to entertain Brother Hua.

"Why don't you see Hua Gu?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

Brother Hua was shocked when he heard the words, and said with a flattering smile: "If Your Majesty likes it, I will call her to serve you. This girl..."

"That's all!" Shao Shude didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There are so many women in my harem, and I can't play with them. Want you, a Khitan village woman?

Brother Hua secretly sighed that it was a pity that the opportunity to sacrifice his wife for glory was gone.

By the way, he is now an official, and he just married Hua Gu as his wife.

Shao Shengmian was kind, pardoned brother Hua's crime, and because of his merits of Chen Qidan's inside information, he was granted the official position of Changping Tangcheng (from the eighth rank).

Changping soup is the Xiaotangshan hot spring in later generations.

Xia inherited the Tang system, and also set up the official positions of hot spring soup supervisor and Cheng to manage several large hot springs for royal use.

At present, the hot springs encircled by the Great Xia court are mainly in Guanzhong.For example, the famous Lishan Huaqing Pool, and Shimen Tang in Lantian County.These two were built by Xuanzong's large-scale construction work. Taking Shimen Tang as an example, Xuanzong built Tangyuan, and five soup pools were Piyunu, Rongxue, Lianzhu, Shuyu, and Zhuoying.The most amazing thing is that the water temperature of these five soup pools is decreasing, which is really enjoyable.

Outside of Guanzhong, the imperial court has encircled two places. One is Guangcheng Tang of Qingshu Palace in Ruzhou, which has been a royal garden since the Han Dynasty. , the family lived in Qingshu Palace for a long time.

Apart from Guangcheng Tang, there is only one Luhun Tang in Henan Province, which is located in Luhun County.This will add another Changping soup, a total of seven.

Royal control of hot springs is not all about bathing.In fact, the greater effect is that "the earth's temperature is moist, the colonization is especially early, the flowers and trees do not wither in winter, and the fruits and vegetables ripen first in spring."

Especially Lishan Hot Spring, the nearby crops do not wither in winter, and it is an excellent source for the royal family to enjoy off-season vegetables and fruits.

Brother Yelu Hua, who is the Tang Cheng of Changping, is under the Tang Supervisor, and now he is in charge of planting fruits and vegetables—in fact, he knows nothing about it, and relies entirely on his staff to do the work.

"In Youzhou, you're still used to everything, right?" Shao Shude pointed, and a palace servant stepped forward to pour wine for Brother Hua himself.

Brother Hua was flattered and hurriedly got up.

Shao Shude was suddenly worried.With his restless appearance, can things really happen?Moreover, seeing how he is still peeking at the palace servants, this fellow is also a lustful one - it's not good to imitate anyone else, but to imitate me!
But this is the end of the matter, and he can only be treated as a living horse doctor.

Shao Shude pondered for a while, then asked: "If I send you back to Khitan, would you like it?"

"Your Majesty!" Brother Yeluhua panicked, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, I have just married a wife and have not yet had a queen, so I dare not go back."

"It's just a matter of giving you a try, but you look like a bear." Shao Shude scolded with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Brother Yelu Hua said with tears.

Once upon a time, he was also a domineering young master, who would make a loud noise when he stomped his feet.Helpless, his head was hot, he couldn't control his lower body, and he played with people who shouldn't be played. Now he is a bereaved dog, and he dare not go back to face his father's thunderous wrath.

Brother Hua was [-]% sure that his father would kill him once he returned.Because he didn't pay much attention to himself, he only had A Baoji in his eyes.

Hate!Brother Yeluhua developed a bone-biting hatred for that lofty and radiant cousin-I am so miserable, I must pull you down and make you miserable.

"Go to the Changxia Palace as an servant. You must be a member of the army. Tell Yeli Yulue what you are capable of, and strive for meritorious service." Shao Shude said: "Let go of the Changping Tang matter, anyway, you won't."

Brother Yelu Hua blushed when he heard the words, kowtowed vigorously and said, "I obey the order."

"Forget it, in order to let you go with peace of mind, I will give you the truth." Shao Shude said again: "If you can rely on your contacts or a good tongue, you can get all the ministries to vote and attract a hundred households. I let you be a slave to hundreds of households. If I recruit a thousand households, I will let you be a thousand households. If you have the ability to attract ten thousand households, what is the point of giving you the position of ten thousand households?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Brother Yeluhua thought for a while, and felt that there was a great opportunity, and said happily, "I will do my best to recruit all the ministries. Rest assured, Your Majesty, among the eight ministries, there are many people who are dissatisfied with A Baoji. Even Not everyone in the Diela tribe agrees with Abaoji."

"Don't talk too much," Shao Shude said.

"Yes, yes." Yelu Hua calmed down and replied.

The banquet ended after half an hour, and Brother Yelu Hua bowed to leave.

After returning to Sushenfang's home, Brother Yeluhua went to find Huagu, first fiddled with her, and then sighed: "I was tricked by you, a dead woman."

Hua Gu chuckled and said, "When you seduced me, why didn't you sigh so much?"

"Sigh." Brother Yeluhua skipped this embarrassing matter, and asked instead: "The sage asked me to recruit the Khitan tribes. You have always had a trick, so give me a trick."

"Isn't Xiao Dilu in Luoyang?" Hua Gu said, "He has a deep relationship with the Yishi Department. It would be even better if he could win over Aguzhi. He has his own pasture, cattle, sheep, and slaves in the Shulu Department." If you hold these two together, Abaoji's power will be weakened a lot."

"You woman, you have a lot of research on A Baoji." Brother Hua pretended to be angry and said, "Say, have you planned to sleep in A Baoji's bed for a long time?"

"If I want to, I have to have a chance." Hua Gu laughed dissolutely, and said, "A Baoji treats Shi Lu like a son treats his father, how stupid am I to do this? It is impossible for A Baoji to see me. It's just Brother Hua, you unworthy son, a woman who plans to play with Dad all day long."

Brother Hua coughed twice in embarrassment.

Although Hua Gu is coquettish, what she said is correct.Xiao Dilu and Xiao Agu were just the key to breaking the situation, he secretly pondered whether he should ask the saint to transfer Xiao Dilu here.

It was heard that Xiao Dilu had already surrendered after several months of repairing Miyagi and eating dozens of whips, but he was unwilling to die for Daxia before.

It's just that in this way, people will inevitably divide the credit, Hua brother hesitated for a while.

"Brother Hua, how capable you are, what great things you can do." Hua Gu lay naked on the bed, lying sprawled on the bed, and said, "If you can't do it, you can't. It's not shameful to ask someone for help. The most important thing is to please the saint."

Brother Hua suddenly became enlightened, looked back at Hua Gu, and scolded with a smile: "I can't do it? You are cruel! Seeing your flamboyant appearance, do you want Xiao Dilu to help?"

"If you don't mind—" Hua Gu laughed.

"Get out!" Brother Hua patted Hua Gu hard, causing a scream, and left the bedroom laughing loudly.

He had already figured it out, and asked the sage to pardon Xiao Dilu, and the two worked together to dismantle A Baoji's influence.

******
On the fifth day of June in the fourth year of Jianji, the Khitan, who had been procrastinating for a long time, finally sent troops in a large scale.

In fact, it should have been dispatched three days ago, but this is how the tribe assembled.They are not professional warriors and are always on standby.In fact, they are shepherds, and their first concern is their own small life.

The ewes at home have given birth to lambs and need to be taken care of.

Have you expressed your milk today?If you can't finish it, make it into yogurt.

Is the kumiss brewed yet?During the festival, without alcohol, the days of the year feel dull.

The child has grown up and can help, but what happened to the grass?so long?Tomorrow the guillotine will be returned to the headman, so if we don't sleep tonight, we will have to save more hay.

A bunch of things, too busy to touch the ground.

When the news of the leader's call came, I was quite happy at first, and I could go out and grab it.But when he heard that it was a Xia person, he was filled with bitterness.

Could it be that the leader has lost his mind?Why not go to Bohai Sea?Again, you can also play Shiwei and Tatar.

After the assembly was completed in such a procrastinating manner, it was already the fourth day of June. After a little rectification, troops were sent to the west on the fifth day of the lunar month.

Gao Siji handed the silver spear to the soldiers, turned around, and said softly: "Brother, Helong Daying is on your side."

"Second brother, don't worry, brother won't be confused. The Gao family army is the Gao family army, and it won't be easy for anyone to come." Gao Silun replied.

Gao Jiajun's bugle number is "Pinglu", about [-] paces.This time, [-] infantry and [-] cavalry were dispatched, under the command of commander Gao Siji, who followed Xiao Agu to the expedition.

In fact, Gao Siji doesn't think much of A Guzhi, a brat.But he is a nobleman, Abaoji's cousin and Shuluping's younger brother.According to the tribal tradition, nobles always lead the army. No matter how young and unreliable he is, he is still a noble. It is not your turn to send someone to command the army.

A Baoji treated the Han army best.Sometimes Gao Siji felt that it was too good to be true, but when it came to matters of principle, A Baoji could only follow the old customs, although he was trying to change it.

When Yu Lu saw Gu and Xiao Chonggun finish the exercises with great effort and said something from a distance, the Khitan people immediately howled like wolves, and their morale was suddenly boosted.

Gao Siji didn't mean to laugh at them.Gein, when the army of the Central Plains went out, they would sometimes pray to the gods, but the Khitan people did it a little rougher, and there was no difference in essence.

"Let's go!" After hearing the sound of the bugle, Gao Siji got on his horse, Gao Xingzhou and Gao Xinggui followed behind, and the mighty army of more than ten thousand, escorting food, grass and equipment, set off first.

Gao Silun watched for a long time, and he didn't return to the camp until the last figure disappeared into the sky.

"General Gao." Xiao Shilu met Gao Silun halfway and saluted.

"Xiao Shuai." Gao Silun returned the salute.

Xiao's family is indeed very considerate in etiquette, and their Chinese is not bad. Sometimes Gao Silun thinks they are Han people.

As for why Xiao Shi did this, the root cause lies in Abao's fuselage.

Abaoji's name is Yeluyi. It is said that he has a Han named Liu Yi, who got his name because he admired Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.At the same time, he asked several cousins ​​to take the Han surname Xiao, because he compared these people to Xiao He in Han Dynasty.

It sounds a little ridiculous, but also a little sad.

A Baoji is actually not a bad person. He admires the culture and system of the Central Plains very much, and trusts the Han generals very much, even trusting him from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed about betraying this person.

But for the sake of the family, there was no choice but to disappoint A Baoji.The Gao brothers had discussed it seriously a long time ago, and concluded that A Baoji had no chance, and the Xia army would hit the grassland sooner or later.That being the case, it is better to be in Xia Dynasty—it is better to be a high-ranking official in the Xia Dynasty, or to be a high-ranking official in Khitan, a fool knows how to choose.

"General Gao..." Xiao Shilu hesitated for a moment.

"Commander, please tell me something." Gao Silun said calmly.

"Liaoshui has begun to reclaim land and build a city." Xiao Shilu said with a heartbroken heart, "Now there is a shortage of guarding soldiers, look——"

"Commander, I am following Yili Jin's military order." Gao Silun understood immediately after hearing that, Xiao Shilu was short of soldiers, and he had his eye on the Gao family's army.

If it's anything else, he still has room to agree.But when it came to the fundamentals of wealth and life in troubled times, he couldn't help but back down.

"You!" Xiao Shilu didn't expect Gao Silun to be so ungrateful.

He is a majestic Jiedu envoy, what's wrong with taking some of your soldiers and horses?
"If the commander-in-chief is fine, the last general will return to camp." Gao Silun said calmly while his heart was racing.

Xiao Shilu was hated today, I don't know how he will deal with him next.If he goes to his cousin A Baoji to beg, will A Baoji agree?It should be...

Many soldiers of the Pinglu Army were slaves sent by Abaoji.In the end, the cousin came here begging for business, and you didn't agree.

What does Abaoji think?Gao Silun felt a little heavy in his heart.
