Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 245 The unfathomable moral lower limit

Although Fang Chongyong was not so debauched that he wanted to have a day show with Pei Xiu in the small town where the Tang army was stationed.But when I saw Bian Lingcheng's flattering and tired face in the signing room where the camp leader of Longzhi City worked, I still felt a little sick in my heart.

"Why did the servant come to Longyou?"

As soon as they met, Fang Chongyong suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked doubtfully.

"Fang Yushi's holy family is prosperous. Someone was ordered by the saint to deliver the letter of appointment to Fang Yushi.

Fang Yushi is now the queen of Longyou Jiedu! "

Bian Lingcheng smiled and took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Fang Chongyong.The latter opened it and saw that it was a very ordinary imperial edict. After appointing Fang Chongyong as the governor of Longyou, everything else was just polite words, nothing more.

"Thank you saint for your grace."

Fang Chongyong turned around and saluted solemnly in the direction of Chang'an in the east, and then politely said to Bian Lingcheng: "Thank you for your hard work delivering the letter, you can go back and resume your life now."

He took out an emerald-green jade from his sleeve, which was also mutton-fat jade from the Western Regions, and handed it to Bian Lingcheng.

After taking Yujue, Bian Lingcheng lowered his voice and said to Fang Chongyong: "A certain person came from Longyou Jiedu Mansion and specifically informed Fang Yushi that there is a big event over there. It's not convenient to talk here, so why not find a hiding place?" Let’s talk about it in details.”

Seeing the sneaky look of the other party, Fang Chongyong nodded calmly and winked at Cen Shen.The latter took the two of them to a courtyard with a stone mill, which seemed to be a warehouse for storing grain and processing wheat grains. There was no one around.

There was no place to sit here. Bian Lingcheng looked around, walked to Fang Chongyong and whispered: "Du Xiwang, the military governor of Longyou, is now unconscious. Gai Jiayun, who was left behind, was originally going to temporarily take over the post of military governor. ."

"Du Xixi is unconscious? Is it true?"

Fang Chongyong was shocked. This horse riding joke was too big.

He originally planned to negotiate with Du Hope to select warriors from the Longyou Army to form the backbone of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army.Unexpectedly, Du Xixi had already stopped cooking before he came!
"Isn't it true?"

Bian Lingcheng pretended to be heartbroken and said, but in fact, he felt absolutely nothing inside.

Even if the Qiu people in Bian Town were dead and the boat capsized, what would they have to do with him, the eunuch?

The core task of eunuchs has always been one, and that is to serve the emperor well.

Of course, the eunuch who runs errands with the prince must serve the prince well, similar to the principle.

But no matter what, what the eunuchs want in this era has nothing to do with the border army.They didn't care how the border troops caused trouble in the border towns.This is determined by the embarrassing status of the eunuchs and has nothing to do with what they think.

"Well, the chamberlain just said that Gai Jiayun was supposed to temporarily take over the post of Jiedu envoy. Why didn't he perform his duties again?"

Fang Chongyong suppressed his inner uneasiness and asked.

In fact, Fang Chongyong knew very well what it meant to stay behind.To put it simply, you are looking for trouble to put yourself on the line, which is more flattering than a tiger's skin, and can only be regarded as a cat's skin!

Under normal circumstances, it’s useless!This post was reserved for anyone who wanted to take it, but Fang Chongyong had no idea at all.

Of course, it doesn't matter that Brother Ji asked him to be the post-retention officer in Fang Yanei. Anyway, Longyou itself also had a post-retention post, namely Gai Jiayun.Then something happened to Du Hope, and Gai Jiayun took over. It was a matter of course.

Since Du hoped that this Jiedushi had to take a break due to illness, then Gai Jiayun should be promoted to the position. It is not that there are no rules in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty!
Fang Chongyong felt that it was a good thing for him that Gai Jiayun temporarily took over as the Jiedushi envoy.He only hopes that there is someone here in Longyou who can take over his task of selecting brave men. As for who will be the governor of Longyou, it is none of his business!

However, there was something in Bian Lingcheng's words just now, and there was something vaguely about something serious.

"Alas, Gai Jiayun was originally going to temporarily act as the Jiedushi envoy, but at this moment, the An army mutinied!"

Bian Lingcheng said worriedly.

"The Anren Army has indeed mutinied."

Fang Chongyong sighed and seemed not surprised.

Ge Shuhan asked his cronies to come to Chang'an to pay homage to the dock. He must have realized that it was impossible to "collect accounts" without going to Beijing, and there was great resentment within the Anren Army.Sure enough, Ge Shuhan still didn't suppress it, and the Qiuba people of the Anren Army marched in arms!
But this was because he had wronged Brother Shuhan. The Qiu Ba men of the Anren Army mutinied while Brother Shuhan was going to a meeting. It really had nothing to do with Brother Shuhan.

"How did they mutiny?"

Fang Chongyong asked curiously, he suddenly wanted to know the details here.

Bian Lingcheng was stunned, then thought for a while and said: "I'm not sure. It seems that the Qiu Ba people fled collectively from the camp, and they didn't take their weapons and armor with them. However, these deserters have been blocked by the Heyuan Army and resettled. Next to the Heyuan Army camp outside Shancheng."

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong breathed a sigh of relief, patted Bian Lingcheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't it over now? It's been settled, why are you nervous."

He just deserted, what a big deal.

During the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, it was not uncommon for soldiers from the government to flee. More than 30 people were even recruited, and only a few of them escaped before they arrived at the station!When we arrived at the camp, abnormal deaths and collective escapes were common everywhere!Tianbao's vision in his early years was simply incredible.

There is a saying that Ji Ge's transformation of the soldiers into Long March athletes really strengthened the organization and military discipline of the Tang army.The Anren Army incident was not worth mentioning at all during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties.

"However, the Heyuan Army also sent soldiers to deliver a message. It seems that they also asked the Jiedu Envoy for the winter clothes owed by the imperial court!"

Bian Lingcheng said anxiously, fearing that Fang Chongyong would not understand the stakes, so he emphasized:
"The Heyuan Army was the elite and main force of the Longyou Army before the Lintao Army was mobilized. If they ask for winter clothes, they will make other Longyou armies also approach the Jiedu Envoy to ask for the military pay they owe.

Du hoped to faint and didn't wake up until someone left.

Although Gai Jiayun went to appease the soldiers, someone heard that he was in harmony with others and said that he would give everyone an explanation when Fang Yushi arrived. We’ll talk about Shanzhou City later.

Yesterday, the Anren Army returned to its garrison for garrison.The officers who participated in the mutiny and the leading soldiers were imprisoned in the Heyuan Army camp.

It seems that the White Water Army further west also sent people to come and ask for pay.

Seeing that something was wrong, I came here to inform Yushi Fang today.People who want to come to Longyou Jiedu Mansion should also be on the way. "

"Gai Jiayun is here to stay, but he will not temporarily act as the military envoy. Is this the case for letting an outsider like this temporarily act as the military envoy?"

Fang Chongyong looked at Bian Lingcheng in shock. He has never seen anything so deceptive in his life!
“It’s a bit ridiculous, but it seems to be true.

Gai Jiayun was a member of the Longyou Army. The Longyou Army knew from top to bottom how capable he was and whether he could ask for military pay from the court.

Even if Gai Jiayun promised to raise the military salary, those Qiu Ba would not believe it.

On the contrary, Fang Yushi's words still have some chance of winning people's trust.At least it is not difficult to suppress the evil spirit of Longyou Army. "

Bian Lingcheng said helplessly.

This is really an unfathomable moral limit!Fang Chongyong couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This time he had seen the shamelessness and despicability of the Bian Zhenqiu people. Sure enough, he still underestimated these people's ability to blame others!
"I heard what the chambermaid said, why don't you go?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a wry smile.

Now they and their group are being detained in the county town of Longzhi County, under full military control. This army is under the Lintao Army, and the acting military envoy happens to be Gai Jiayun!
According to the rules of the officialdom, Gai Jiayun could use the imperial edict in Ji Ge's hands to get rid of the big trap of acting as Longyou Jiedu envoy, but he could naturally take over the Lintao army!
This is really a big mistake!

Fang Chongyong regretted a little, why he didn't stay in Didao County for a few more days!If you get the news over there, go directly north to Runlanzhou!In Lanzhou, by virtue of the positions of Supervising the Military Envoy and Supervising the Censor, you can just lie down and die!
The troops on the right side of Longxi have mutinied, so why should I go to the border town?As long as I moisturize quickly, the blame will never be thrown over my head!

As a result, this wave of running was slow, so I had to bite the bullet and take the blame. "Our family doesn't know either, but...it seems that we can't go if we don't go. Maybe Fang Yushi will adapt accordingly after he goes.

Our family is going back to Chang'an to recover, so Fang Yushi must be careful.If it really doesn't work, it's okay to write a letter to the saint to plead for mercy and let our family take it back. "

Bian Lingcheng said the blame with a "sincere" expression, which made Fang Chongyong so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

The other party is just a eunuch!Being able to spread a message is already very generous and worthy of the gifts I received.

Fang Chongyong knew very well how terrifying these eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty would be in the future, so it was naturally impossible for him to take his temper out on Bian Lingcheng.Of course, you still have to have the proper attitude.

He immediately returned to his bedroom, began to write a letter, and asked Bian Lingcheng to wait outside the room.

At this time, Pei Xiu had already gotten up and dressed up. Although she looked no different from usual except for her sluggish posture, Fang Chongyong always felt that the heroic spirit in her eyebrows had faded a lot, and she had a vague charm. .

"what's wrong?"

Pei Xiu's walking posture was a little weird, she came to sit next to Fang Chongyong and asked in a low voice.

"We'll talk about it later. You need to take a rest first. We'll be leaving soon."

Fang Chongyong was speaking and writing without even looking at the other person.

When Pei Xiu saw the words on the letter paper, he was a little surprised to find that although Fang Chongyong was very strong, his handwriting was quite good. He could tell that he had learned calligraphy from a famous teacher.

Pei Xiu's ears suddenly turned red when she thought of how she and this strong body were hugging each other and loving each other last night.

She looked at her exposed white wrists, and then at Fang Zhongyong's rosy yellow-black skin and strong muscles.

What does it look like when rugged majesty and white suppleness are mixed together?Exciting scenes from her fantasy appeared in her mind, and Pei Xiu felt dizzy. She wished she could fall into Fang Chongyong's arms and let him kiss her wantonly.

In fact, Pei Xiu couldn't see anything in the dark last night, but today when he saw Fang Chongyong's appearance that was completely different from the handsome young man from Chang'an, he felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

Making it difficult to breathe.

Unfortunately, before meeting Fang Chongyong, Pei Xiu wouldn't even look at such a reckless man.

Ugly, strong and rude!What woman would like it?

But this ridiculous scene actually happened!

Pei Xiu was struggling in her heart. On the one hand, she was looking forward to the close relationship between the two of them again, but on the other hand, she was surprised that she would fall for such a rough-looking man!
She was embarrassed and blamed herself, and was tormented repeatedly in her heart, causing her to stir up her clothes with her hands, and her handsome face was full of entanglement.

Suddenly, Pei Xiu found that Fang Chongyong had finished writing the letter and was looking at him intently, his eyes full of curiosity.

She coughed lightly to hide her inner embarrassment and said, "Okay, that's okay, I'm fine with it."

Fang Chongyong didn't think much, nodded slightly and said, "Well, now I'm going to do something first."

When he came to the door, Fang Chongyong handed the letter to Bian Lingcheng and said: "I told the saint in the letter that the matter in Longyou will be taken care of naturally. Please prepare a batch of silk and send it to Lanzhou as soon as possible." ."

"Lanzhou?"

Bian Lingcheng was stunned, suspecting that he heard wrongly.

Shanzhou was the place where the border troops were stationed. Why did the imperial court send silk to Lanzhou?
“It’s Lanzhou, to be precise, it’s sent to Jincheng (Lanzhou City).

Shanzhou is too far away, so we must find other ways. "

Fang Chongyong said with a sigh.

It's not that he wants to make trouble, but it's really unrealistic to ask the court to send the cloth to Shanzhou.In fact, he had already studied the operation mode of the Longyou Army on the way.There are many areas worthy of improvement.

He didn't directly see the road conditions in Shanzhou, but he had intuitive experience of how expensive it was to send express delivery to Qinghai Province in his previous life.The people's sentiments here in Longyou are very different from those in Hexi.If the same method is used to solve different problems, the results will be completely different.

Fang Chongyong felt that if he just asked Brother Ji to make up for the military expenditure arrears in Longyou and let the court transport the silk and silk directly to Shanzhou, then...it would be better to ask Brother Ji to transfer himself to Hexi to recruit Yinqian Xiaojie. Where are the soldiers and horses!
"Does Yushi Fang really not ask the saint to supplement the military pay? As long as the silk and silk from Chang'an are transported to Shanzhou, everything will be solved."

Bian Lingcheng persuaded him kindly, but he was somewhat impressed by Fang Zhongyong.He had seen the pay dispute with his own eyes and didn't think Fang Chongyong could handle it at all.But since Fang Yanei is so confident, he must have his skills.

In this case, this person cannot be underestimated!

Bian Lingcheng secretly decided to have a good personal relationship with this virtuous son of the Shence Army general.Of course, it also depends on whether the other party can handle the Longyou army's pay dispute.

The main reason is that since the Tang Dynasty recruited troops, the payment arrears have accumulated gradually, while the payment arrears have suddenly erupted.How to solve the problem of border troops having to pay is actually very useful for reference.

Bian Lingcheng saw a glimmer of hope, the hope of climbing up!
After sending Bian Lingcheng away, Fang Chongyong gathered the group, including Pei Xiu, and said to everyone: "After lunch, we will set off without stopping and go directly to Shanzhou City."

Others had no time to observe Pei Xiu's strange state, and were all ready to leave the house and pack their bags.

Pei Xiu came over and asked in a low voice, "Is something serious happening?"

"Yes, it might kill someone. But since you are already my woman, just stay with me and don't think about any messy things."

Fang Chongyong said in Pei Xiu's ear.Immediately, in the surprised eyes of others, arms like steel clamps tightly hugged Pei Xiu's slim waist, seeming to declare sovereignty.

……

It was already late at night, but the lobby of Longyou Jiedushi's government office was full of torches, as if an army was about to go on an expedition.

In the main seat of the lobby, Fang Chongyong looked at the many generals in the lobby with a calm expression.

Gai Jiayun, Wang Nannan, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xiuyan... famous generals who will be familiar to future generations are all gathered here, waiting for Fang Chongyong to speak.After Fang Yameni arrived at Shanzhou City through the starry night, he immediately rushed to Jiedushi Yamen without stopping.

The chief generals of the Longyou armies have been waiting here for a long time. They already knew that Fang Chongyong was coming to Shanzhou from people sent from Longzhi County.

They watched eagerly as Fang Chongyong came to "fill the hole."

If not for this, how could they, the military leaders of the border towns, be willing to be dictated by a teenage official appointed by the imperial court?
"Generals, please go back and appease the soldiers, and pay back the arrears of military pay.

Within a month, the commander of this section will handle it properly. "

Fang Chongyong said solemnly.

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.Fang Jieshuai's son is indeed an outstanding person; let alone his ability, just look at his responsibility, that is, he has a tiger father but no dog son!
"I will obey the commander's orders!"

All the generals crossed their hands and bowed in thanksgiving!

After personally sending the Longyou military envoys out of the Longyou Jiedushi Yamen, Fang Chongyong looked at the backs of everyone and sneered!
Haha, you dare to dig a hole for me. In a few days, I will let you Qiuba know what the real "unfathomable moral lower limit" is!
