The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Walking to the gate of the Dudu Mansion in Guangzhou, he showed the official seal of Leizhou Shepherd Shou Ribbon bestowed on him by the emperor, and then the gatekeeper guards led Guo Nuan and the others into the mansion.

The guards politely led Guo Nuan and the others to wait in the side hall, Jiedu envoy Pei Dunfu was working next door, so they could only wait.

The fat man couldn't hold his breath, sat on the stool with his feet crossed, turned upside down on it, drank a few cups of tea with a pot of weak tea, and from time to time looked forward to warming up with Guo Guo who was silently resting beside him, or turned his head to touch and sit upright. He looked solemn, but he only got a response from the other party who shook his head with a smile.Working hard, Pei Dunfu was so airy and waited so long to approve the official documents, the fat man was really bored waiting.

An hour later, the fat man had already received the fifth pot of herbal tea from the maid. When the flowers were about to wither, after a long time, there was a long and quiet squeak from next door.

Speaking of Pei Dunfu at first glance, he is eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big forehead, in his fifties, a typical burly man, sitting on the desk in the open hall, reviewing official documents, and wearing a military uniform , writing and sketching at the desk, his face looks piercing.

"Come in, Guo Nuan boy, Mr. Yan—"

In fact, Pei Dunfu didn't intend to procrastinate, he never put on airs to embarrass his subordinates. These days, he has been worrying about government affairs, and there are a lot of things to deal with. Work at the desk.

August is the time when typhoons frequently occur in the coastal areas. The city of Guangzhou was hit by a hurricane a few days ago. At night, a strong wind mixed with torrential rain poured down. A quarter of them were severely damaged, and the number of casualties reached thousands, which severely damaged the local economy. It is estimated that it will take a long time to recover.

Pei Dunfu has always been troubled by the unpredictable and harsh climate along the south of the Lingnan coast. Last year, there was an undersea earthquake, and tens of thousands of hectares of mulberry fields along the coast were washed away by wave irrigation in an instant, and the fertile land suddenly turned into saline-alkali land. Farmers suffered heavy losses.

Two years ago, I thought it would be a good year, but Pei Dunfu was also very depressed. When encountering abnormal weather, hailstones and snowfall, grandma, Pei Dunfu said in his heart that the sky has no eyes, and the climate in Lingnan is mild and dry. It will still snow, and the snow on the roof tiles is an inch thick. Seeing many victims of the disaster suffer from frostbite, the government is helpless in the face of natural disasters.

Abnormal weather phenomenon, at least in his 13 years as Lingnan Jiedushi, he only encountered snowfall in this year.Looking through the county annals of Lingnan in the 60s and 31s from Xuanzong to Suzong, there are records of snowfall, and it only happened [-] years ago.

It has snowed, and the sowing of indica rice in spring has been seriously affected. The subtropical plants planted by fruit farmers, such as mango, longan, and lychee, have almost died of frostbite.The chronology of Pei Dunfu's leadership of the five Lingnan prefectures was submitted to the imperial court in Guanzhong, and he had to hand in the political virtues every year, but the Lingnan he was in charge of got a final grade C grade every year.

When it comes to leading soldiers and fighting, Pei Dunfu is very good at it, but when it comes to literature, politics and science, even if he is a warrior and sits at his desk diligently every day, he will not be very effective if he is so busy.

In the 12th year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong issued an imperial edict. It was said that Pei Dunfu had an interview in the Jinluan Palace for the subject of "Quality to be a General".

No, two months ago, Pei Dunfu led more than 5000 people from the Qinghai Division, and drove 8000 large-scale ships, all the way to drive out a total of [-] pirates who came from the South China Sea Islands to the coast of the Pearl River Delta port. Back to the island states in the area of ​​Penpen, Poli, and Mirao, which are now the Indonesian archipelago and the Philippine waters.

When the imperial decree of the emperor's appointment of Guo Nuan was issued, the postman at the post station rushed eight hundred miles away and rushed from Chang'an, Guanzhong, which was more than 4000 miles away, for five days.

Both Pei Dunfu and Guo Ziyi were Jiedu envoys, and they were familiar with each other as officials in the same dynasty in the capital. In view of the complicated collusion of interests between the parties in the court, they are just ordinary colleagues.

Six years ago, Pei Dunfu led the Lingnan army to cooperate with the soldiers of Shuofang County in Northwest Ningxia to repel the Tubo soldiers who invaded Guangxi from the plateau. Public office, personal relationship is not deep.

However, Pei Dunfu has always respected Guo Ziyi's integrity, he is loyal and strict, but respect is respect, but when it comes to making friends, the two have different tempers.

I heard that Guo Nuan, the sixth son of Guo Ziyi, was good at handling the municipal affairs during his tenure in Chang'an. Pei Dunfuyuan also heard about it in Lingnan. With his arrival, he can bring some new atmosphere to Lingnan.

Yan Zhuang was considered to be of the same generation as Pei Dunfu. He could see that although Yan Zhuang had been dismissed from his post as Secretary of Agriculture, one of the nine high officials in the imperial court, and now he was temporarily downcast to become a teacher to Guo Nuan. Official influence is still there.

At least he served as a dog-headed military adviser to An Lushan, a seemingly honest and loyal big fat man, who could plan a top-level strategy to usurp the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, and used the three towns to make the town soldiers break through the capital Chang'an twice.

If Guo Ziyi hadn't led Kyushu's King Qin's army to turn the tide and defend the Li family dynasty alive when the Tang Dynasty building was about to collapse, the Yan Dynasty established by An Lushan would really replace Li Tang, just a little bit Ah, the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord belongs to Fatty An.

Pei Dunfu sat in front of the desk, his thoughts wandered, and he sighed in his heart. Yan Zhuang's military strategy plan for Fatty An's rebellion was excellent, but it was just a little bit of bad luck in the end. It was a pity that he met Guo Ziyi.

During the Anshi Rebellion that year, Anlushan was close to the throne, and the losers had no right to speak. The history books were written by the victors, and the unlucky Anlushan became a sinner through the ages.

As the Jiedu envoy, facing the tragic ending after the defeat of the An Lushan rebellion, a feeling of sympathy for the death of a rabbit and a fox suddenly rose in his heart. Pei Dunfu once thought about it for a moment.

"If I... devote all my strength to the south of the Five Ridges and entangle hundreds of thousands of troops in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, etc.... lead the troops from south to north across Hunan and the five mountains between Guangdong and Guangxi, cross the Yangtze River, and go straight to the capital of Guanzhong. Chang'an... Could it be possible to fight quickly like An Lushan, conquering Luoyang, the western capital twice, and taking Chang'an, the eastern capital? In the end, Xuanzong was forced to retreat and wanted to abandon his family and son and flee to Sichuan and Sichuan in a hurry?"

"My lord, Guo Nuan, the new Leizhou shepherd, and Yan Zhuang, the chief secretary, are here to pay your respects to your lord."

Just as thoughts were surging in Pei Dunfu's mind, Guo Nuan and Yan Zhuang had already stepped into the office, and they clasped hands and saluted, awakening Pei Dunfu.

Pei Dunfu woke up slightly, moved from the back of the grand master's chair, leaned forward, pointed to the chairs lined up on the wall with a partition carved window, and then said with a light smile: "You two, sit down, there is no need to be formal. .”

Pei Dunfu first cast his eyes on Yan Zhuang. He was dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, a black scarf and a hat, and his jade face was clear. He seemed to have an air of great talent. Looking at Yan Zhuang, Pei Dunfu subconsciously nodded, It's not easy to lament this guy.

Back to the idea of ​​aspiring to the Central Plains, Pei Dunfu asked himself that if he rebelled, even if he led all the forces in Lingnan, he would not be able to achieve the same level as An Lushan, disrupting the Tang Dynasty and almost overthrowing the regime. If he did this, An Lushan would die It's an honor too.

Throughout history, it is possible to establish a regime that governs the nine states of the world. Could it be that soldiers from the north sent troops to the south and swept the entire continent with talents. How did the theory of destroying the entire world from south to north come from?Pei Dunfu thought he was rich in learning, and the books he read were stacked up, and he hadn't read any history books yet.

In fact, there are really, but there are very few examples in history. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, led an army of 25, and went northward to the Central Plains to destroy the Yuan Dynasty. These two examples are from later generations, and Pei Dunfu from the Tang Dynasty did not know about them.

Yan Zhuang in front of him is undoubtedly the ultimate designer of An Lushan's subversion of the Tang Dynasty's strategic game steps.

Yan Zhuang, a feeble scholar, with the layout and careful planning, this guy almost destroyed the Tang regime in the midst of the ashes!It almost helped An Lushan establish the new Yan Dynasty!

This is a strong man, how could Guo Nuan invite him to the barren land to be a little teacher?Guo Nuan is really lucky.Pei Dunfu couldn't help sighing in his heart, and remained silent. He was full of interest in Yan Zhuang, and looked at him quietly. ． ．
