Tiantang

Chapter 67

Chapter 073
It is not for nothing that Abus detoured Longyou and chose Ge Shuhan as the object of "refuge" to return to Tang again.

Ge Shuhan was a famous general in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and also a barbarian.And it was the Battle of Stone Castle that established Goshuhan's reputation.During the battle, Absi's troops were under Goshuhan's command.

At that time, Qinghai Lake was mainly the territory of Tuyuhun and Tubo. Years of slaughter and fighting continued. Although the prosperous Tang Dynasty was in full swing, Qinghai was not a place full of sunshine.From Qinghai Lake to Shancheng through Huangyuan, there is Shibao City on the road, with cliffs on three sides, and only one side has a spiral stone road that can be climbed up.It used to be the frontier outpost of the Tang Empire, but it fell into the hands of Tubo.Because it is impenetrable, many generals tried to conquer it but failed. Only Goshuhan became famous in the first battle.

"You can't learn from Ge Shu, who walks wildly in Qinghai at night with a knife, and Xitushibao with a purple robe." This is Li Bai's poem, which has been sung throughout the ages, and it is even more famous in this era.

The winner of the Battle of Stone Castle was of course Goshuhan, but as one of Goshuhan's generals at that time, Albus naturally had a good relationship with Goshuhan.

More importantly, An Lushan is the life-and-death enemy of Albus, and Ge Shuhan is just one of the few in the Datang feudal town who openly "sings the opposite" to An Lushan, and has always had suspicions.This was the key factor for Absi's resolute decision to lead his army to capture a part of Huihe, and then quickly returned to the south to join Goshuhan.

Yang Guozhong was very annoyed when Ge Shuhan's secret report came to Beijing, and he smashed an expensive jade teacup on the spot.

It's not that Yang Guozhong has any grudge against Albus, he doesn't even have a deep impression of Albus himself.It’s just that the only case of rebellion in the Tang Dynasty is that of Albus. He originally planned to frame Li Linfu and Albus for a conspiracy to rebel, but now Arbus suddenly made such a move—the above table asked for surrender, and he gave enough money to make Da Emperor Tang was tempted to vote for the certificate.

The chess pieces that can be used can no longer be used, Yang Guozhong is upset, but there is nothing he can do.

Just as Gao Lishi guessed, with Yang Guozhong's character, he decided to suppress Ge Shuhan's secret report for a few days before speaking.In fact, he knew very well in his heart that for such important military affairs, Ge Shuhan must have secretly reported to the emperor at the same time, and Li Longji had already known about it.

It's just that Yang Guozhong didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so fast.

He was sulking, when the emperor's oral order came from the other side of the palace: Pardon all the people under Albus and resettle them on the spot, under the control of Goshuhan's reorganization.He ordered Albus and his son to go to Beijing to plead guilty.

……

……

"Master, Mrs. Guo and Mr. Pei are visiting."

The servants came to report that Yang Guozhong was resting in the study with his eyes closed, trying to relieve his inner turmoil. Hearing that the third sister Yang and his son had arrived, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "The third sister is here? Come on, let's go, let them go to the flower hall. Just go."

Third Sister Yang and Pei Hui were sitting in the living room of the Yang Mansion talking quietly, and Yang Guozhong hadn't appeared for a long time, and Third Sister Yang was a little unhappy.Xindao: You, Yang Guozhong, are defiant now that you are prosperous, but don’t think about who gave you a hand when you were down and out and wandered on the streets of Chang’an?How dare you neglect my wife!

While waving her long sleeves, Third Sister Yang coldly raised her head to look at the maid of the Yang residence who was waiting by her side in the hall, and said, "Have you ever told Prime Minister Yang that the slave's mother and son are here?"

Seeing Mrs. Guo Guo's complexion, Yang Guozhong's maid hurriedly bowed respectfully and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, this servant has already reported to Xiangye... Xiangye is in the study to deal with government affairs, and will come to see Madam soon."

Third Sister Yang sneered, "Xiang Yang is now the new nobleman in the court... You go and report and ask Xiang Yang if you have time to see our mother and son. If there is no time, the mother and son of the slave family will not dare to bother you, so I will leave. "

After hearing what his mother said, Pei Hui frowned secretly, hesitant to speak.

Third Sister Yang decided to bring him to Yang Guozhong, saying that she wanted to seek an official background for him.Pei Hui refused again and again, expressing that he would participate in next year's spring and become an official through his own efforts, but Sanjie Yang felt that her son's words were too naive.

The son of Mrs. Guo Guo, if he wants to get a half-time official, do he still need to take the imperial examination?What a big joke.

Sanjie Yang didn't have such thoughts at first, but when she heard that Zhang Xuan was recommended by Yang Guozhong as an official, she was also moved, and had the idea of ​​finding a family background for her son.

Third Sister Yang’s words were mixed with guns and sticks, how dare the maid respond, she was submissive, but Yang Guozhong laughed loudly from outside the hall, “Sister San, it’s not a coincidence that you came here, a certain family is dealing with state affairs. If this is not over, come over here Already... if there is any negligence, don't take offense, Third Sister."

While speaking, Yang Guozhong entered the hall, looking at the third sister Yang, mother and son with awe-inspiring eyes.

The unhappiness on Sanjie Yang's face immediately covered up, she stood up and gave Yang Guozhong a random blessing, "I have met Mr. Xiang."

Pei Hui also got up respectfully and bowed down, with a soft voice, "Pei Hui pays homage to the Prime Minister."

Yang Guozhong waved his hand with a smile, "My family doesn't need to be too polite - come and have a banquet."

……

……

The third sister Yang asked for an official for Pei Hui, and Yang Guozhong immediately agreed.Now that he holds the administrative power of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to arrange a family background for Pei Hui, and it can be done without even going through the emperor.He was happy to give one of this kind of favor.

What's more, the younger generation of the Yang family got their birth from him, so there are too many.As the leader of the Yang family, even if Third Sister Yang didn't take the initiative to speak up, he would consider Pei Hui in the future.

Seeing that Yang Guozhong agreed readily, Third Sister Yang was very happy, and the little unhappiness just now had already disappeared with the wind.After a song and dance, a servant came to report in a hurry, "Master, Mr. Zhang Xuan and Mr. Zhang have arrived."

Yang Guozhong smiled, "Let him in."

Third Sister Yang was taken aback, thinking why did Yang Guozhong summon Zhang Xuan?However, I haven't seen this little friend for a long time, and I still miss him very much.

Yang Guozhong turned his head and looked at Third Sister Yang with an ambiguous smile, "Third Sister, this young man from the Zhang family is exceptionally talented and personable... For the sake of Third Sister, I will give him a chance."

From Yang Guozhong's words, there was a bit of ambiguity, and the third sister Yang's mature and charming face suddenly had two clusters of red clouds, which made Yang Guozhong smile even more ambiguously, while Pei Hui lowered his head in embarrassment.

Although his temperament is weak, he is not stupid. How can he not see the increasingly strong ambiguous feelings that his mother has for his husband, but he just avoids it deliberately by not saying it.

At this time, Zhang Xuan had already walked into the hall quickly.

Hastily cast a surprised look at Third Sister Yang's mother and son, Zhang Xuan immediately bowed to Yang Guozhong, "Zhang Xuan has met the Prime Minister."

"You don't need to be too polite. Zhang Xuan, sit down." Yang Guozhong wanted to win over Zhang Xuan and accept him as a student, so his attitude was very courteous and cordial. "Someone values ​​your talent very much. I have already recommended you to the emperor as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites. I believe that The Holy Order will be issued in the next few days..."

Yang Guozhong smiled pretentiously, hinting.

But Zhang Xuan's "tears of gratitude" and the gesture of bowing down and admitting to his sect that he was expecting did not appear. Instead, he got Zhang Xuan's seemingly respectful and grateful words, but indifferently declined——

"The prime minister loves to support you, and Zhang Xuan is very grateful. It's just that the doctor of the Ministry of Rites is an important position in the six government departments of the imperial court. Zhang Xuan is young and shallow, and he dare not take the position for fear of harming the country..."

Zhang Xuan almost repeated in front of Yang Guozhong what he had said in front of Li Longji, and Yang Guozhong's expression darkened suddenly.
