The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

It is said that Pei Dunfu, the Jiedu envoy of Lingnan Road, has no time to go to sea every day. Now he leads a navigation team of more than 2000 people to search for dozens of days in Nanyang. However, Guo Nuan's search for his book boy gave Pei Dunfu a lot of headaches, especially his younger sister, Pei Pei, who was usually fearless, also messed up with Guo Nuan and went out to sea.

The governor of Yizhou left his post without permission, and he left for more than half a year. If it were an ordinary official with a not strong background, he would have been hunted down and brought to justice long ago, but Guo Nuan was lucky.I found a good staff, Leizhou lacked the state pastor for half a year, but everything is running normally, and the government affairs of Leizhou government presided over by Yan Zhuang are still thriving.

In addition, Jiedu envoy Pei Dunfu had a good impression of Guo Nuan, and he kept the matter of leaving his post without authorization to go to sea all the time. If Lingnan was far away from Chang'an Tiangao Emperor, he didn't notice Guo Nuan's disappearance there.

The scheming envoy Pei Jiedu will not report to Chang'an in a foolish way. This will trigger a major event in the whole body, and it may cause an uproar in the political arena of the capital. The dignitaries of the Daming Palace are eager to find something to use to make trouble water.

Pei Dunfu also thought about it for a long time, and the upper limit for Guo Nuan's return was at most half a year. He took a long-term view.The state shepherd left without authorization and the guardian is gone. The emperor will be angry immediately. First of all, the state shepherd was not the official who was relegated. He should reflect on the demotion and immediately disappear. Isn't this behavior too unrepentant and sinful? Plus one.

The second is that Guo Nuan just went to sea for a book boy, and the emperor would be even more furious if he knew the details. It is unreasonable for a mere handyman servant to work hard to let the state shepherd leave the people of a state and county to find it himself.

Thirdly, General Pei Dunfu, who has become an old fritter in the officialdom, also knows that Guo Nuan went to Nanyang privately and took his own sister with him. The idea was to go to Nanyang, at least half of the responsibility for this matter must be related to his relative Pei Dunfu himself.When Daizong found out, his nose was going to be crooked: "Okay, Pei Dunfu, I wanted Guo Nuan to be demoted to your district to practice hard, but I didn't expect him to go crazy and run around with your sister, don't you?" Don’t want to be frugal anymore?”

Speaking of Guo Nuan's going to sea, there are still N reasons to be scruples. The more Pei Dunsi thinks about it, the more he has a headache.There are several rivals in the DPRK who have been against him over the years, such as the treacherous old man Yuan Zai, the hypocritical and hypocritical Chang Dun, and Liu Yan, who is serious and slow.It's no wonder that these people have been holding on to Pei Dunfu's pigtails all the year round. Many senior officials in the court wished that he had any mistakes.

To say that Pei Dunfu, as Guo Nuan's Zhili chief, will inevitably be held accountable for the lack of strict supervision. Whether his official career will be smooth or bumpy depends on Daizong's thoughts.

It has been two months since the beginning of the new year, and when Guo Nuan and Pei Pei went to sea in autumn last year, they disappeared in a flash, and there was no news from the two of them. In the early days, Chang’an was 12 miles away, and the postman ran to the Dudu’s Mansion in Guangzhou to send a good news. It was said that in February, No. [-] Princess Shengping gave birth to a little princess. Guo Xiaozi Xianyu's chance to stand up has come.

Pei Dunfu was dumbfounded when he received the newsletter, it's really not the right time for this little princess to have feelings.Guo Nuan is gone, how can I find the father of the princess?

In desperation, Pei Dunfu had no choice but to adopt a strategy of delay. By the way, he sent two confidantes to accompany the postman back to Chang'an to report.

"Ahem, after returning to Chang'an, you should report to the emperor that Mr. Guo Mushou is dealing with the government affairs of Leizhou. He is busy for the time being. In spring, the levees along the coast of Leizhou were destroyed and caused serious floods. Poor more than [-] people have been displaced. Mr. Guo Right now, Guo Nuan is inseparable from the prefectural and county yamen for the time being. State shepherd Guo Nuan and veteran Pei Dunfu unanimously beg the emperor to allow him to stay in Leizhou for another half a month. . . . "

At that time, Pei Dunfu made nonsense to the postman who was about to return to Chang'an. Pei Dunfu also wrote an autograph and stamped it with the seal of the Jiedu envoy, and let the three of them set off to report.

Before leaving, Pei Dunfu quietly told the two accompanying subordinates:

"Well, you should try to take the postman with you on the road to delay time, take a long detour if you can, don't worry about returning to Chang'an and Guo Nuan's disappearance should be kept secret, which one accidentally leaked the secret to the two heads You have to drop it, do you hear..."

It is estimated that after the postman returns to Chang'an with his autographed memorial, it will take at least a month for Daizong to give an approval to return to Lingnan. Strive for a two-month delay.

Come on, two tight months is better than nothing, so Pei Dunfu immediately led the sailors of Qingshuilou to search for someone in Nanyang.

A few days ago, after the sailing fleet arrived in Chenla, they found the local tribal chief. After a lot of efforts by local officials to cooperate with the investigation, Pei Dunfu got some clues. After staying for a short period of time around the month, the ship left Chenla and set off towards the southeast coastline.

Pei Dunfu went to Nanyang with a huge fleet and continued southward. When he passed Dandan and Borneo Islands in the waters near Malacca, the local aborigines did not get the slightest gain. The crew of two Western European ships got useful clues. They seemed to have seen a Persian Gulf ship with similar specifications to the Abis in the southwestern waters in December. This is the latest news.

Tianzhu Ceylon is the transshipment hub port of the eastern Tang Dynasty and the western maritime silk trade. The impatient Pei Dunfu ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, and it took half a month to drive the fleet to the port of Tianzhu Ceylon.Guo Nuan fell to the ground and fooled his sister to which corner of the ocean?More than half a month has passed since Pei Dun returned to sea, but he has not found the two of them. Counting half of the time spent on the return journey, he only has a countdown of ten days to find them.

The vast sea is tens of thousands of nautical miles away. Even if the ship Abis is galloping to the Persian Gulf to find people, they still have to stop at Tianzhu Ceylon Port in the middle of the sea to supply fresh water and food. When Pei Dunfu brought a huge When the navy boat sailed into the port of Ceylon, the local noble officials of Magadha saw the large formal fleet of the Tang Dynasty official army arriving at the port. The local ruler thought it was an envoy from the Tang Dynasty. Welcome to Port Coast.Pei Dunfu hastily asked the local Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles to help in the investigation, but there was nothing in the records of all ports visiting foreign ships within half a year, especially the Abis in the Persian Gulf.

Could it be that they haven't arrived in Tianzhu for half a year?Pei Dunfu was puzzled, or was he shipwrecked and sunk on the way, or was robbed and killed by pirates?However, the dozens of pirate groups cleared on the way did not have the whereabouts of the Abis.Pei Dunfu was confused.

According to the worst plan, he waved his hand and led the sea fleet to withdraw the hospitality and thousands of tons of spices and sugar gifts from the local nobles. The boat his sister was on should still be in the waters of Southeast Asia. In short, if you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies.

"Extremely good news! Marshal, a large pirate ship has been detained, and the other one unfortunately sank while escaping due to a damaged stern,"

A military general happily climbed up the arrow tower on the top of the ship to report to Pei Dunfu.

"Uh, why are you so happy about the news?" Pei Dunfu was looking at the vast sea level with the armrest alone. It was getting dark at the moment. When he heard the lieutenant general's report, he raised his eyebrows and asked calmly.

Cheng Zangyao continued to report to Pei Dunfu with a happy face: "The captured pirate leader is the recently notorious Wudou Mi Wuxiang. After interrogation, he confessed that he was with the crew of the Apis about [-] nautical miles to the southwest about half an hour ago. Confrontation in the sea!"

"What! Apis!"
