Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 78

Fang Youde and his party entered the palace of the leader of the Bohai Kingdom under the protection of his own soldiers. Zhang Xun and others saw the smile and contempt on the face of the commander, and they were not sure why for a while.

"This time we won't fight without any blood, and things will be much easier to handle later on."

Fang Youde couldn't help sighing with emotion.

It turns out that you also know that you are afraid!

Zhang Xun and the others couldn't help but slander, they thought that Fang Jieshuai was fearless, and that the sage had no way to go to Chang'an to seek justice.

"The furnishings here are exactly the same as those in Daming Palace, except that the size is half smaller. This Bohai king is a master of martial arts. He is really a self-abased and ridiculous person."

Fang Youde mocked disdainfully and commented on each palace and its furnishings.

I don’t know what the leader of the Bohai Kingdom was thinking, but he made the palace’s regulations the same as those of Chang’an Daming Palace, but it was only half the size, so many places looked a bit nondescript.

Because the regulations of the palace can be halved, but the height of a person cannot be halved!

On both sides of the road were Imperial Guard soldiers, palace maids, and eunuchs kneeling on the ground. Their clothes were similar to those in the Tang Dynasty palace.They didn't resist at all. It seemed that everyone knew why the Tang Army's divine soldiers came from the sky to Xianzhou City.

Da Wuyi jumped too high before, and actually joined forces with Japan and Khitan to attack Datang!This kind of thing has frightened everyone in the Bohai Kingdom. Now that they see the Tang army coming on horseback, they know that their "boots have landed".

The Tang army only killed the evildoers with great martial arts skills and would not do anything to them.

Now the nobles of the Bohai Kingdom are all waiting for Datang to vent their anger, and continue to follow Datang under the leadership of the new king.

And those servants who can't even get their wages, how they want to resist, they can think of it with their toes!
Fang Youde and his party came to the king's palace, and sure enough the furnishings here were exactly the same as those in the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace.Except that it is half the size, its specifications are extremely "same" as Changan's original version.

Everyone couldn't help but smile, even Yan Gaoqing almost laughed out loud.

"The lineage of the Lord of Bohai Sea is really a group of wonderful people."

Fang Youde stepped forward, looked at the young man who was guarding the door of the palace, wearing a robe that was exactly the same as the prince of Tang Dynasty, and asked with a joking face: "We are going to see the king, do you want to untie the sword?" Woolen cloth?"

"Minister Qinmao, the son of the lord, meet the angel. Please come in with me."

The young man said very humbly.

The princes and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom were all red and swollen from Fang Youde's slap in the face, but Da Qinmao was not unhappy.After all, Dad Dawuyi has caused too much trouble, it would be great if he was pushed out so that everyone could land safely.

"Your uncle Da Yi is about to become the head of the Bohai Kingdom and accept the title of canonization from the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any objection?"

Fang Youde asked abruptly.

"Back to Angel, I have no objection."

Da Qinmao bowed respectfully with his hands folded, without any dissatisfaction on his face.

"Well, very good. My Tang Dynasty needs young people like you."

Fang Youde patted him on the shoulder and said: "Follow me back to the Tang Dynasty and learn the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you will also have the opportunity to be the leader of the country, so don't indulge yourself."

After saying that, he walked into the palace without looking back, leaving only Da Qinmao standing there stunned.

"Jieshuai, the Bohai king's lineage is all surnamed Da, what a strange surname." Ten General Bai Zhenduoluo muttered in a low voice.

"The so-called name usually makes up for whatever it lacks. Just because Bohai is a small country, the surname of the country's leader is big enough to make up for it."

Fang Youde said eloquently.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then remembered Fang Youde's name, and suddenly felt that there were so many flaws that they didn't know where to start.

What is missing should be supplemented. Can a person who is immoral be called "virtuous"?
The atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment, and no one dared to provoke Fang Youde, who was in high spirits.

Fortunately, they had already entered the bedroom and saw Da Wuyi lying on the bed. His face was sallow and thin, his forehead was sweating and his lips were trembling. It looked like he was just a hair away from dying.

"Great martial arts, do you know your guilt?"

Fang Youde looked at the dying old man on the bed and asked coldly.

That tone was like a judge in the underworld.

"The minister...is guilty."

Da Wu Yi struggled to get up from the bed, but he didn't want to slide directly from the bed to the ground, and then remained motionless.

The faces of Fang Youde and his group changed slightly, Yan Gaoqing stepped forward to touch Da Wuyi's breath, then got up and shook his head at Fang Youde, saying: "He was scared to death."

The majestic leader of the Bohai Kingdom, after all, controlled tens of thousands of people and ran amok.

Now he was so scared to death!
"Tell Da Qinmao, ask him to prepare [-] pieces of silk for the generals of the Tang army, and then we are ready to leave in two days, and Damen Yi should be coming."

Fang Youde said calmly, without mentioning how to dispose of Da Wuyi's body.

I believe Da Qinmao will solve these "small problems".After all, it is a good thing for the great martial artist to "die" of illness, both for Fang Youde and others, and for the monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom.

This means that the conflict with the Tang Dynasty a few years ago has truly come to an end. The monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom can calm down and develop the economy without worrying about being beaten by the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, Da Qinmao also walked into the bedroom and saw that Da Wuyi had "died" from illness. He did not show a surprised expression on his face, but just bowed to Fang Youde.Immediately, he fully agreed to Tang Jun's request for money and silk and retreated.

As for Da Wuyi's body, it will be taken away by the Tang army and will be properly buried in Chang'an after "trial".

Zhang Xun and others never expected that the fierce battle that they thought was inevitable would be resolved peacefully.Fang Jieshuai, who I thought would only be strong-willed, turns out to be so skilled at political manipulation!
The majesty of the Tang Dynasty was affirmed by attacking the enemy without losing any blood. To do this, it required great wisdom and courage, and it could not be accomplished by ordinary people.With so many people in Bohai Kingdom, if they fight in a single battle formation, can they kill them all?

After the killing, the situation in Northeast China will definitely be corrupted, and the unlucky one is not Youzhou Jiedu Mansion!
Fang Youde's move can be said to have solved a big trouble with the smallest cost.

"Secretary, please go and enforce military discipline. Since the Lord of Bohai has given us a confession, please stop looting in the city."

Fang Youde said indifferently to Yan Gaoqing beside him.

"This subordinate will do it."

Yan Gaoqing folded his hands and bowed before retreating, feeling sincerely convinced by the commander-in-chief.He has changed his previous impression of the "unruly" coach.

Fang Youde is a person who pays attention to "teachers are famous" when doing things. He has his own set of principles for everything, although this principle may be contrary to the government's decree.

Yan Gaoqing's political literacy is much higher than that of Zhang Xun and others. He knows that many things are in the open.

Fang Youde made the replacement of Bohai kings in such a violent but not bloody way, and the rotation was in accordance with Tang Ting's wishes, which clearly showed who is the real big brother in the Northeast.

The divine soldiers made no mistakes when they descended from the sky. After achieving their goals, they drifted away without any hesitation.

What is deterrence? This is deterrence!

Yan Gaoqing could imagine that in the rest of his life, the people of Bohai Kingdom would firmly remember the former king's great martial arts who once fought against the Tang Dynasty, and what happened in the end.

And use it as a lesson for others.

"Jie Shuai, let's just leave like this, don't we let the sons and daughters grab a wave here?" Baizhendra couldn't help but asked doubtfully.

"It is the commander's responsibility not to reward you for your merits; it is your crime to act rashly without orders. I will take credit for you when it comes to awarding rewards. We are not thieves!"

Fang Youde glared at Baizhendra, who was so frightened that he backed away and bowed his hands in apology.

People's minds change. If things go well, things will happen. If things go against them, things will go wrong.Fang Youde accurately controlled it.

Two days later, Damen Yi rushed to Xianzhou City with his cronies, and was surrounded by a group of Tang troops to ascend the throne of the king.The Bohai Kingdom donated [-] bolts of high-quality silk as a reward for the Tang army's "escort" of the king's enthronement.

Two thousand Tang Army cavalry, escorted all the way by the Bohai Forbidden Army, returned to Yingzhou safely.Also accompanying him is Da Qinmao, who will take the body of his father Da Wuyi to Chang'an to meet Li Longji and serve as a guard in the palace while studying the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.

When Da Wu Yi was the lord of the country, Damen Yi studied in Datang.

And Damen Yi has now become the new king, and Da Qinmao is studying in Datang again.

The mystery and inheritance of this may be known to those who are interested at a glance, but no one can tell it.

All parties who received the news of the changes in Bohai State were thinking of countermeasures.Then all kinds of documents flew to Chang'an like snowflakes, so that Li Longji, who enjoyed the hot springs and beauties, had to end his vacation in Huaqing Palace ahead of schedule.

……

"Snapped!"

Wu Duo threw the stone out of his hand and hit the tree trunk not far away, just a few seconds away from the branch Fang Chongyong wanted to hit.

Stone throwing is a skill that is easy to get started with, and you can master the basic skills in just one day of practice.But it's not that easy to hit a target, especially one that moves fast and is small. At least it's much harder than a slingshot.

There is only one reason why Fang Zhongyong practices Wuduo: this thing is very powerful, easy to carry and inconspicuous, and can save lives at critical moments!
The mainstream slingshots in the Tang Dynasty looked similar to bows and arrows, and were about the same size, lacking a bit of concealment.

As for the "Y"-shaped slingshot, it has already appeared in this era, and it is even very convenient to carry, but its power is too small, almost just a toy.

Wang Zhongsi has already entered the palace to participate in military affairs. He is now the general of the left army of the Longwu Army. Daily training and rotation.

Now Cui Ganyou accompanies Fang Chongyong to go out for activities every day.

"Lang Jun, your strength is not right."

Cui Qianyou took the Wuduo from Fang Chongyong's hand, pressed the special pottery pill, then put the ring on his middle finger, started to spin rapidly, and finally threw the pottery pill out!

"pat"

A branch in the distance was broken.

It seems so easy to lift a weight!

Everything is like flowing water, Fang Chongyong still hasn't understood it!
"There are so many skills in the military that you never know when they will be used."

Cui Qianyou returned Wu Duo to Fang Chongyong, patted the dust on his hands and said.

After Wang Zhongsi returned, he could actually join the left army of the Longwu Army, which was just a matter of Wang Zhongsi's words.But when Wang Zhongsi came to the Fang family residence yesterday, he specifically talked to Cui Qianyou and made his words very clear.

There is no problem at all in joining the Longwu Army, but it is already full of unlearned and unskilled trash. Even if there are a few who can fight, it is not enough.The army is full of chaos, everyone is competing for family background and connections, and no one wants to make contributions.

Finally, Fang Chongyong suggested that Cui Qianyou should not wait for seniority in the Longwu Army, so as not to waste his time in vain.After Wang Zhongsi is transferred to Hexi, he will definitely serve in the Chishui Army, which is the absolute main force in Hexi. By then, it will be easy to get military membership in the Chishui Army.

During this period, Cui Qianyou didn't do what he thought, and followed Fang Chongyong with peace of mind every day. The two "discussed the art of war" and fought Wu Duo together.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun!"

In the distance, I heard the sound of a magpie coming from behind, looking very anxious.

"It's not time to practice calligraphy yet, is it?"

Fang Chongyong turned around and looked at Fang Laique helplessly and asked.

"No, someone is coming from the palace! It's that Gao Lishi."

Fang Laique gasped and said.Fang Chongyong didn't even dare to call Gao Lishi by his first name, but this guy actually dared.

"You really have to take care of your mouth in the future, let's go."

Fang Chongyong put away Wu Duo and entered Chang'an City through Chunming Gate.Just at the gate of the city, he saw a few Jinwu guards on duty, as if they were dragging garbage, loading one after another "objects" wrapped in straw mats onto the bullock cart, and then set up the bullock cart , Go directly to the south along the city wall.

They are all cemeteries, but there is a big difference between the west and the south.The cemeteries in the southwest corner of Chang'an City are mostly dignitaries and dignitaries, while the cemeteries in the south are the cemeteries and mass graves of the poor.

Chang'an as a whole has a pattern of "the north is noble and the south is cheap". There are already many poor people in the south, and it is also next to barren tombs and mass graves. The feng shui seems not to be good.Fang Chongyong believed that these Jinwu Guard soldiers would not go south if they did not have important matters at hand.

"When a poor person dies, he can just wrap him up in a straw mat and throw it anywhere. The poor people in Chang'an are quite lucky. At least they have Jinwu Guards to help them carry out mass graves if they freeze to death."

Cui Qianyou couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, in Chang'an to affect the appearance of the city, of course the Jinwu guards will hold their noses to do such a thing."

Fang Chongyong rubbed his little hands that were red from the cold, not knowing what to say when faced with this scene.

Because of the severe cold this winter, the poor people died of hunger and cold.

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the logic.

As for the nature of the problem, Cui Qianyou didn't want to say it, but Fang Chongyong felt that it would be useless to say it.

Of course, Li Longji, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, naturally couldn't experience such a feeling.Things that cannot be seen should be regarded as non-existent. Thousands of achievements and beautiful women are to be pursued and enjoyed. Who cares about the dead bones in mass graves?
The Jinwu guards were diligently cleaning up the frozen corpses in Chang'an square, didn't they just want the saint's ears to be quiet?

It seems like they did nothing wrong.

So what went wrong?
Fang Chongyong returned home with a heavy heart and saw Gao Lishi, wearing a thick laminated robe, walking around in the lobby. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Sin, sin, let the elders wait for a long time."

As soon as he entered the main room, Fang Chongyong immediately confessed his crime.

"You're welcome, it's a good thing to come this time."

Gao Lishi said with a smile.

good thing?

What good things can Li Longji do?
Fang Chongyong was greatly alert.

"Please let me know, elders."

He saluted Gao Lishi with his palms folded.

"Your father, with two thousand light cavalry, raided Xianzhou City, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, and brought back to Chang'an the body of Da Wuyi, the leader of the Bohai Kingdom who had disrespected the Tang Dynasty a few years ago. Now the saint is very happy and wants to reward you, so why don't you follow? Should I enter the palace?"

Gao Lishi couldn't help but hold Fang Chongyong's shoulders, came over and whispered, "When the saint asks you something later, tell him something nice."

"Oh, okay okay."

Before Fang Chongyong came back to his senses, Gao Lishi took him into the bullock cart.All the way to the east, exit Chang'an City from Chunming Gate.

Feeling that the route was not right, Fang Chongyong couldn't help but said: "Elder, this doesn't seem to be the way to Daming Palace."

"Isn't that right? Your home is at the back door of Xingqing Palace. If you go to Xingqing Palace to meet the Saint, do you still need to ride an ox cart? We are going to Huaqing Palace. The Saint specifically allows you to bathe in the bath together. This kindness Chong, you can't enjoy it if your father is not in Chang'an, it's all at your expense."

Gao Lishi said meaningfully.
