The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 792 780 One: Monarchs and ministers play double reeds ([-])
Along the way, the three hurried on, Tieniu urged the horse forward, and asked Duan Wuji: "Brother, you said that if we do business this time, we will not go back to the capital!

Don't go back now, it's a bit early to go, go back, there is nothing wrong. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what you want!

The three of us brothers have family members in the city anyway, so you can figure this out.

I will not express my opinion on this matter, let Brother Chai speak. "

While urging the horse forward, Chai Shao said with a smile: "Let me say, we will naturally go to Beijing to have a look before leaving.

It's good for you two brothers, your married wife has a stable home after all!

Your sister-in-law lives in the palace with a child, and nothing happens in a short period of time, but after a long time, I don't feel very at ease!

Let's go to Beijing to stay for a few days, I'm afraid it won't take much time.

Alright, I'm in charge of today's matter, let's stay in the capital for a few more days before leaving. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Okay! Since Brother Chai said so, let's go to Beijing.

It doesn't matter if you go a few days earlier or a few days later! "

The three of them agreed so, and the three of them drove all the way to the direction of the capital, and then they came straight over. After five days of rushing, the three of them were already on Chang'an Street just after noon that day. .

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Chai, you should go into the palace to visit my sister-in-law!

Our two brothers have gone back to the palace, see you later. "

Chai Shao thought for a while and said, "It's better for me to go back to the palace with you!

I go to the palace, what is going on with so much money on me?
Um!It's not right, it's not right. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "If it's not appropriate, then you can go home with us first, and we'll do it after we think about something. Anyway, we have plenty of time."

The three returned to Xiaoyao Wangfu, and Princess Mingzhu quickly brought them fragrant tea.

"Husband, didn't you go to Huashan? Why did you go for such a long time!

This trip to Huashan will last for more than 20 days.

If I had known this was the case, then I would not have let you go.

Let me tell you that the former emperor sent someone to our house to look for you, and when they saw that you were not at home, they went back.

I don't know why the emperor asked you to come here. "

Duan Wuji was stunned.

"The few of us have already asked for leave from the old emperor, why is he looking for the three of us?

Brother Chai, didn't you go to the palace!By the way, why not just ask the emperor! "

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Well! Well then! If that's the case, then I'll go now.

Go and ask, don't we know? "

With that said, Chai Shao took off his silver bag and handed it to Duan Wuji.

"Brother, keep these things for me! I'm going to the palace now, and when I come back, everything will be clear."

Duan Wuji took the burden and put it on the table.

"Brother Chai, you can go now, we are waiting for you at home, you should go back early."

Chai Shao stood up and walked out.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Mingzhu, hurry up and get some food, to be honest, the three of us are already hungry.

After Brother Chai comes back, let's have a good meal. "

After hearing this, Princess Pearl stepped out.

As soon as Princess Mingzhu went out, Tie Niu's words came.

"Brother, guess what the emperor asked us for?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I didn't bother to guess that, in a short while, our Brother Chai will be back!

He's back, let's ask him, don't we know?

Brother Tieniu, come on!Let's drink tea quickly! "

While drinking tea, the two of them waited for Chai Shao's return.

An hour later, Chai Shao hurried back.

Seeing this, Tieniu asked quickly: "Brother Chai, what is the matter that the old emperor came to see us, please tell me quickly, I am so anxious to death!"

After hearing this, Chai Shao smiled wryly and said, "Oh! It's not a good thing to say!

A few days ago, the Turpan Kingdom sent envoys. They came to our country to ask for help. The Turpan Kingdom is also experiencing civil strife now. There have been three anti-kings in the country. These three anti-kings have united. They want to seize the land of King Tupan.

King Tupan is now alone, so he ran to our country to ask for help.

Out of face, our emperor agreed to them.

The envoy of the Tupan Kingdom asked you two to go there by name, the emperor had no choice but to agree to him.

Or the emperor sent someone to look for you two days ago!

When the emperor heard that you were back, he was overjoyed.

I think he will send someone to look for you tomorrow.

Brother, you have to think ahead!

If you two brothers leave, I think our business will be ruined!

well!This is really not as good as man's calculation.

We've been busy this time.

It was really too early to pick up the dung! "

Duan Wuji thought about it and said: "There is civil strife in his country, so what does it matter to our country?

They plan to ask me to counter the rebellion in their country, let me see what happens tomorrow!

If there is a certain benefit, then I will go.

If you plan to order people around in vain, then there is no door!

I know about this, let me think about what to do when I come down.

I'll take a rest after dinner. As for this matter, let's see and do things when we get down. "

It's not too long, and dinner will be served.

People gathered around the table to eat dinner, and the servants cleared away the dishes.

Then, another pot of brewed fragrant tea was served.

Mingzhu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Husband, what is the emperor looking for you for? Can you teach me a lesson?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "The neighboring country in the southwest of our country, Turpan, has civil strife, and the envoys of Turpan have already arrived in our country.

King Tupan made a request to our emperor, asking me and my brother Tieniu to help them put down the rebellion by name.

Nothing else, just such a thing. "

"Husband, it's very dangerous to do this job. What do you think, can you tell me?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"I really haven't thought about it, what do you want me to say.

Let's talk about it tomorrow when I meet our emperor. "

"Well! Well then, if that's the case, let's wait until tomorrow.

Hey!
I said Brother Chai, go into the palace, have you seen my sister Pingyang? "

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"Isn't it still possible to see? The two of them are staying in the palace very well, and there is nothing wrong with them!

I'm relieved that they look like this. "

Several people gossiped for a while, and then went back to their houses to rest.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and the others had just finished their breakfast, and the three of them were about to enter the imperial city to pay homage to the king.

Before the three left, the messenger came in.

"Prince Duan, you guys are back from going out!

The emperor has an order to announce that the three of you will enter the palace. If you three have nothing to do, then follow me. "

The three followed the messenger out of the palace, and the messenger got on his horse, and the three followed the messenger on foot, heading straight for the imperial city.

After entering the imperial city, the official who passed the decree led them to the gate of Suzaku Palace, the official who passed the decree said with a smile: "Let's go, follow me into the palace.

The emperor is waiting for you three inside. "

The three of them followed the official who passed the decree into the main hall, and saw more than a dozen court ladies waiting for them!
The official delivering the decree walked a few steps and knelt down in front of the Long Shuan to salute.

"Your Majesty, I have already called Prince Duan and the three of them.

The minister delivered the decree. "

"Well! Go down, there is nothing for you here."

"The minister obeys the order."

After speaking, the official who delivered the decree retreated outside the hall.

When Duan Wuji and the others saw the official who delivered the decree went out, they quickly walked a few steps and knelt down to greet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have always been good! The ministers and others see Your Majesty, and may my emperor live long, long live, long live!"

Li Yuan quickly waved his hand when he saw it.

"You three don't need to be too polite, get up quickly."

Li Yuan looked at the maid next to him.

"Hurry up and bring a chair for the three of them, and let the three of them sit down!

How can you talk while standing here! "

After hearing this, the maids quickly moved over three chairs and placed them on both sides of the Longshu case, and the three had no choice but to sit down.

Li Yuan looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said with a smile: "Shao'er must have told you two yesterday!

The Turpan Kingdom has already sent envoys, and their country is now in civil strife.

The king of the Tupan country has already asked for help from our country, and the king asked you two to go there by name.

Wuji and Tieniu, you two must not let me down.

To be honest, the relationship between the Tubo Kingdom and our country is also very good. We have lived together for a long time, and there has never been any war for many years.

There has been turmoil in the country this time, we can't just ignore it.

Promise, do you think what I said makes sense? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Well, what you said is really reasonable, but what does the turmoil in their country have to do with us.

As the saying goes, if you fall down and climb up by yourself, if you want to help others, you must take out three hundred ga.

I said, Your Majesty, they asked us for help, didn't they show anything?
If the two shoulders were raised and their mouths were empty-mouthed, who wouldn't do such a wasteful job!

If that's the case, it means that they don't have any sincerity, and we can ignore him.

Your Majesty, tell me if what I said makes sense. "

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Wuji! What you said seems to be quite reasonable. If we don't take this opportunity to beat them, we will really lose this opportunity in the future.

Promise!What do you think we want them to do?
The two of you have also been to their country many times, and you know the customs and customs there quite well. "

"My lord, there is a vast land on their plateau, with countless yaks, sheep and horses!

The yaks are of little use to us, but the horses and sheep are useful to us!

After the flocks are brought back, they can be distributed to the poor farmers so that they can be raised by the country, and the lambs will be owned by the farmers. Our country will only need those big sheep in the future.

Once there is a war, those flocks can be used to reward the three armies, which can improve the combat effectiveness of our army.

As for the herd of horses, we are more useful.

A few years ago, our buddies brought some military horses from the Turkic country, but those military horses were all jerks, and there was not even a single marre!

Without the mare, how could this foal be born?

If this situation continues for a long time, it won't take us ten or eight years to get horses.

Now our relationship with the Turkic people is not very good. If we want to import horses from them, it is impossible.

In my opinion, let's get some mares from Tubo.

After these mares are brought back, we also raise them in the farmers' homes. We regularly bring in stallions from the military camp to breed them. In a few years, there will be more foals.

These foals are also owned by the farmers. Once we need those horses, we can buy them from them. Isn't that great. "

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

"Wuji, your method is good!

Then you say how many war horses we want from them. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "What's so accurate about this!

As the saying goes, old monks don't love money, so the more the better!

Your Majesty, if it’s not like this, you can call the envoy of the Tufan Kingdom this afternoon, and our monarchs and ministers will perform a double reed for him.

Count as many horses as you can squeeze out of them!What do you think of this? "

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

"Okay, that's what we'll do.

At that time, I will send a few people to be annoying and sing about the white face.

How many of you brothers are good people and sing about those red faces.

Let's see how much benefit we can get from their country.

Now our country is poor, they came just to replenish some supplies for our country!

Um!It's a good deal. "

Tieniu smiled wryly after hearing this: "Your Majesty, this is a good deal for you, but the three of us have to sacrifice our lives for it!

Can you get these things without our buddies working so hard? "

Li Yuan blinked his eyes.

"Tie Niu, why don't I know what you're talking about?
Don't worry, after you come back, I will never treat you badly. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Your Majesty, this time we are going abroad to quell the rebellion in other countries, and the family members of the three of us are all in the capital.

You old man, don’t send the three of us away and we’ll be fine. You know about this. We’re thousands of miles away from the Tupan country. We’re going abroad to fight, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to come back in a short time.

Please help us take care of our family members! "

Li Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Don't worry! You can leave this matter to me. They can't make any mistakes in their lives. If they have any difficulties in their lives, I will solve them for them.

Now you should feel relieved.

Princess Mingzhu and Princess Pingyang are both my daughters, can I treat them badly?
That Tieniu Xifu is not an outsider, can I not take care of her life?

Hey, Promise!Who do you think we should call to be there this afternoon?

Let's get them to rehearse and rehearse now.

Save time when something went wrong. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Among the civil servants, Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong are the most eloquent, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are the most wise.

The four of them are indispensable on this occasion!

Among the generals, Cheng Yaojin is the most able to live in vain, and my second brother Qin Shubao is the smartest.

Besides, you just need to bring that little white ape Hou Junji over.

It's good for us monarchs and ministers to practice and practice in advance!I don’t know what to say when I save it! "

After hearing this, Li Yuan said to an eunuch next to him: "You remember the few people Prince Duan mentioned just now!

You immediately send someone to notify them to come over, and say that I invite them. "

The one who listened too much turned around and went out, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Wuji! Today you are the stage producer, and everyone listens to you.

Let's not screw up the play! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! We're all old drama characters, can this still go wrong!"
