Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 718 Kunming Pool

By the Kunming Pool, Xiao Qu and Feng Yanqing sat and drank tea opposite each other.

Xiao Yun actually admired Feng Yanqing very much.This old man is older than his brother Xiao Yu, but he is healthy and energetic. He fights with all kinds of bureaucrats all day long, and he does not lose the wind at all.

This old man turned out to be an official fan.The pursuit of power gave him a strong fighting spirit, just like the fighting cocks in Wufang, he was aggressive and refused to give up.

"What does Feng Gong think about Dong Chang's matter?" Xiao Yun slowly added various spices to the tea soup, and said in his mouth: "Using the throne and proclaiming the emperor is just like Qin Zongquan. If a saint wants to pardon him, won't he make the world laugh? "

"Let the sage pardon, and Qian Liu will not obey the edict." Feng Yanqing said nonchalantly.

The imperial court had decreed before that Dong Chang would be deprived of his post and concurrently serve in various positions, and Qian Liu would serve as the recruiting envoy of the Hangzhou camp and concurrently the envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces to crusade against Dong Chang.As soon as Yang Xingmi and Zhu Quanzhong pleaded for mercy, they ordered a pardon again, and the decree was changed every day. I don't know what the sages think.

Of course, Feng Yanqing didn't know that Emperor Zhaozong wanted to pardon Dong Chang twice in history because he was satisfied with the large amount and many times of offerings.As for whether Dong Chang challenged the authority of the emperor, the sage didn't seem to care, as long as he made an apology and removed his false name, it seemed that he could be forgiven.

Li Maozhen tortured Emperor Zhaozong thousands of times, killing the prime minister like a chicken, burning the palace, speaking extremely disrespectful, and forcing Zhaozong to marry his daughter to his son—at the wedding, Li Maozhen’s family sat still, and the princesses greeted each other , that picture is simply too beautiful.

When Li Ke used Li Maozhen to capture and kill him, Emperor Zhaozong stopped him.

The level of a sage, Xiao Qu and Feng Yanqing, old-timers in the officialdom, have already understood it.

They also saw clearly the little thoughts of the saints.

Don't they just think that Zhu Quanzhong, Yang Xingmi, Li Keyong and others are just "little villains" who are not as big as the direct threat brought to him by Shao Shude, the "big villain"?For this reason, even Dong Chang, who challenged the authority of the emperor, could be pardoned, and even his own woman could be sent out for a deal. He dared to do anything.

Feng Yanqing even suspected that if Chengdu could not be attacked for a long time, the emperor would eventually pardon Li Maozhen.If Li Maozhen is willing to move the town to Guanzhong, he is even willing to set aside a piece of land for Li Maozhen as his imaginary Emperor Pingfan.

Ridiculous!

"Of course Qian Liu won't obey the imperial edict." Xiao Yun also smiled, and said, "He always wants to annex eastern Zhejiang in his dream, so as to integrate the two Zhejiang provinces and compete with Yang Xingmi."

"Even if the two Zhejiang provinces are integrated, I'm afraid they can't compare to Yang Xingmi, who owns the two towns of Huainan and Xuanshe."

"At least I have more power to protect myself."

"That's right." Feng Yanqing nodded and asked, "What does Grand Master mean?"

"My brother has something to say, Dong Chang is a clown who is the king's forerunner. The sage is ignorant, so let him be. Anyway, Qian Liu will definitely not obey the imperial edict. The states in eastern Zhejiang have also turned against Dong Chang and attacked each other. It doesn't matter if there is no court order." Xiao Yun said: "The saint is defeated by the power of the Tang Dynasty, so let him go."

"The grand master is really an old man who seeks the country." Feng Yanqing said with a smile.

Xiao Yan has been in poor health for the past two years, and has seldom shown up.Except for Xiao Yun, Feng Yanqing, Han Quanhui, Liu Jishu and others, the idlers were all gone, and they concentrated on recuperating.For this kind of thing, he usually spread a word and let outsiders handle it.He would not even directly ask about most of the trivial matters, usually after a while, Xiao Yun would pick him up and talk to him, and he would just make some comments.

"What does the Grand Master think about the matter of Xichuan?" Feng Yanqing asked again.

"Wait and see." Xiao Yun said briefly, "I'm afraid Liu Chongwang won't be able to defeat him. The Shence Army's military equipment is weak, and they don't have that ability. The army was newly defeated, and the Jishi Army Li Yixian also retreated to Mianzhou. I'm afraid I won't fight anymore."

The matter of attacking Chengdu once again explained a truth, don't fight with pig teammates.They will lose, which will affect your morale and make you unable to exert your strength.

"Will the sage pardon Li Maozhen?" Feng Yanqing was worried about this and asked.

"It wouldn't be a bad thing if Li Maozhen could stop the annexation of Dongchuan." Xiao Yun said, "We still have to exchange official documents, which is a bit of a joke. Li Maozhen has already made an apology. The sage may call Yanying to ask questions. Let's see then."

"Indeed." Feng Yanqing knew what Xiao Yun's attitude was.

Datang's country can last for a day, until there is no need to maintain it.

……

The news of Chang'an soon spread to Wangwushan.

After Shao Shude looked at it, he agreed with Xiao Wei's opinion.

If the emperor wants to die, he should die. Anyway, he will lose face to the Li family.

However, Shao Shude also felt that the saint's mental state was a bit worrying, he was not very stable, and his mind was not very clear.

Li Maozhen was riding on his head to shit, Li Ke used to come over and beat Li Maozhen violently, and then he wanted to get rid of all the evil and completely attack Fengxiang Town, but the saint was unwilling and left Li Ke in anger.

You are worried that Li Maozhen is dead and there will be no more strong feudal clans in Guanzhong, and you will not be able to balance the forces in Kanto, so you can't say wrong, but at least look at who Li Maozhen is!

He is a foodie and loves to play. If something goes wrong, he will blame his courtiers. He is discouraged and dare not think any more.But after a while, my heart felt itchy again, and the urge to die couldn't be restrained until I was taught a lesson again.

Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian took turns to bully him, but the sage didn't have a good memory, so he was awesome.

To be honest, the towns in Guanzhong at that time were actually the most obedient to Tuoba Sigong of Xiazhou and Tuoba Sijian, the envoy of Jiefang Jiedu later. Cowardly, he lingered and didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of Guanzhong.Because they knew very well that even the weakest Li Maozhen was not something they could touch.

"If the sage continues to make troubles, this Tang Dynasty will fall apart, and then we will have to deal with the mess for him." Shao Shude sighed.

Why did Zhu Wen bring Emperor Zhaozong to Luoyang in history?At that time, Jingzhao Mansion, Tonghua, and Fufang were all his territory, why?It's not that the saint is too fidgety.

The woman in the tulle skirt trembled slightly upon hearing this.

Shao Shude noticed her movements, and asked, "Wang Yanfan brought you here? You haven't married yet, what was your identity before?"

"Please don't ask the king, save some face for this concubine." The woman begged.

If Shao Shude realized something, he looked at the other two women in their 20s and said, "What do you do in the observation?"

"Laundry and sheep feeding." The second daughter bowed her head.

These two people should be the ones implicated after Ximen Zhongsui was brought down. Looking at their facial features, they should be sisters without a doubt.And this young girl who had just been enjoyed by him should also be relatives of them.

He suddenly understood the identities of the three of them, and felt a little ashamed, Wang Yanfan!
"From now on, I don't need to wash and feed the sheep." Shao Shude promised.Afterwards, he called Tuoba Pu and ordered him to go down.

Tuoba Pu Ni was in Shao Shude's arms, looked at the three daughters with a half-smile, and said: "It's cheaper for their aunt and nephew."

"Okay." Shao Shude couldn't stand Xuan Cui's female crown, and said, "I still have to work."

After finishing speaking, he put on the robe that had been untied a little, and ran to Chu's room in a desperate manner.

Mrs. Chu decorated the room meticulously, and placed flower arrangements in front of Shao Shude's desk, which was full of fragrance.

While Shao Shude was reviewing the official letter, Mrs. Chu went to the kitchen to prepare food with her big belly.

The last time I cooked food by myself was when I was an unmarried girl. For fun, I learned from servants and maidservants, and my parents don't blame it.

Shao Shude sat in front of the desk, carefully reviewing the documents, military newspapers, and letters.

Li Keyong is back!

Calculating the time, he should have returned lightly, and the main force should still be on the way.

The righteous brother has explicitly invited the righteous brother for a while.It is conceivable that this kind of meeting is definitely not singing and dancing, slaughtering cattle and sheep, but a large army, with swords and guns heavily guarded.

How did A Baoji meet Li Keyong in history?He personally led [-] cavalry to Yunzhou, and Li Keyong also led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Hedong to the north, and the two sides formed a battle on the grassland.In the end, he didn't do anything, and he was still a brother.

If you think about it, if you lost Youzhou and the three Hebei provinces of Zhaoyi at that time, almost only the Hedong territory was left, and was beaten by Zhu Quanzhong for years, and Li Keyong, whose strength has been greatly weakened, was frightened by Abaoji, then people I don't mind eating you directly, rushing into the east of the river to plunder.

If Shao Shude wanted to meet Li Keyong, he would not choose Hedong Road, Heyang, or Hebei. He planned to meet Li Keyong on the grassland.

For no other reason, Shao Shude only felt that the grassland was safe.As the Supreme Khan, when he arrived on the grassland, it was like returning home. People there listened to him and spoke nicely. Why not go?

As for whether Li Keyong dared to come, this is a good question!Shao Shude felt that, with the temperament of his righteous brother, he would dare to come when you make an appointment in Lingzhou—well, it’s a bit exaggerated, but if you make an appointment in Shengzhou, Li Keyong would really dare to come and not be afraid at all.

After thinking it over, Shao Shude spread out the pen and paper, and wrote a series of orders.

Among them, Zhesi Yubu of the iron cavalry army gave up the plan to go south to Luoyang, turned around and went north, and went to Shuozhou; The various units of the army went north and assembled at Woyanggong Grassland.

The six inspection envoy tribes, Hengshan Dangxiang Li clan, Muzang clan, Gyeongju Dongshan Dangxiang, Huizhou Fanbu, and Shaqi tribes jointly mobilized [-] men to assemble on the Yinshan grassland.

The left-behind yamen army in Lingzhou is also ready to dispatch.

After finishing writing, Shao Shude let out a long sigh of relief.

The construction of Guanbei has been going well in recent years, and a lot of materials, money and food have been deposited in the treasury, but due to the bottleneck of the Yellow River water transportation, they cannot be used in large quantities in the Central Plains.This time, I recruited some more people and used them together to strengthen the momentum.

He does not want to have a war with Li Keyong at this stage, and the best way to prevent a war is to make the enemy fearful.

At that time, he sent out all the tribes in the northern part of the Guanzhou, sat in Xuanhongchi, forced Li Keyong to retreat, and won peace for many years.

This time I took more than [-] steps to ride between Yun and Shuo, what will you do?
