At the end of the first year of Changyuan, the good news on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty flew to Chang'an, and the government and the people celebrated each other.
Cheng Qianli, the general manager of the marching army of the Loks, controlled the Long March and the Longyou Road border troops of more than 100,000 were in the front line of Shanzhou, Langzhou, Jishishan and Tuyuhun coalition, claiming to have fought for several months with 600,000 people. When the Tubo army was not well fed, they decisively launched a pursuit of Baili, beheaded tens of thousands, intercepted countless cattle and sheep, and won a great victory.
At this point, the vast areas suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry production, which were originally Xianbei people north of Jishishan and east of the Yellow River, all fell into the hands of the Tang people. Cheng Qianli built fortifications everywhere in Jishishan to consolidate the fruits of the war. Those who knew in the court had predicted that Longyou would become the richest granary place in the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Taiping was so happy that the substantial interests were not the main reason. The great influence of this dynasty's martial arts made her happiest.
More than 40 years ago, during the reign of the Two Saints, the famous general Xue Rengui was wiped out in Dafeichuan. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has lost its strategic advantage for nearly half a century. The Tuyuhun area, which originally relied on the Tang Dynasty to resist the eastward expansion of the Tubo people, was also included in the sphere of influence by Tubo. Therefore, the Tubo people opened up the eastern front and threatened the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Even the security of the capital Chang'an was hidden dangers.
Now taking advantage of this great victory is an opportunity to regain the attack advantage.
Princess Taiping has been comparing herself with her mother Wu Zetian, something that her father and mother had not done. She did it, and it was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
So the court quickly rewarded merits and many people were rewarded.
Cheng Qianli was granted the title of General of the Right Guard, and the title of Duke of Dongping County was restored to the Cheng family's ancestors.
The once prominent Cheng family fell during the Wu Zetian period and was restored to the status of Cheng Qianli's generation. This achievement of glorifying the ancestors was truly the greatest comfort to him.
Xue Chongxun was also appointed as the general manager of the marching of Fuqidao (Tuyuhun Royal City) for his great contribution to resisting Tuyuhun's 200,000 troops on the northern line.
Xue Chongxun was surprised: I did nothing and knew nothing.
The name Fuqidao marching chief is also nonsense. No governor has many soldiers in his hands. What army can he run?
The court could not wait to order: to seize the Shibao City, occupy the West Sea Dafeichuan and other places, completely surrender to the Tuyuhun people and let them become vassals of the Tang Dynasty again.
Taiping wants to complete her mother's unfinished achievements and let her descendants remember her name for generations!
However, the Shanzhou military did not immediately respond to the imperial court's orders and first celebrated the city. There were institutions such as military governors and governors, and each yamen was full of singing and dancing to promote peace.
As for Shancheng, which was looted most of the city and the surrounding people who were harmed by war, no one paid attention to it.
The main banquet was placed in the shogunate of Cheng Qianli. Because there were too many people celebrating the merits, the roads outside were closed, and some wine tables were placed on the street, and a curtain was pulled on it.
As soon as Xue Chongxun arrived at the carriage, his ears were buzzing... There were voices everywhere. Too many people were joking and they couldn't hear what they were saying. He saw the officials, soldiers and men sitting around the wine table in groups playing and joking.
When he got out of the car, he immediately saw General Li Yi of Jiannan Army welcomed him. The young man smiled and bowed with a kind face and said, "The governor has been waiting for Duke Wei for a long time."
When the two entered the gate, Xue Chongxun saw many generals watching dancing in the lobby north of the yard. He couldn't help but take a look. Li Yicha couldn't help but say: Everyone should celebrate after winning the battle, but the governor usually did not hesitate to make noise and was not at the banquet. Duke of Wei, please follow me.
Well, General Li will go ahead.
They walked through the front yard and walked in. As soon as the servants behind closed the door, the noise outside seemed to be blocked by a wall. The sound became much smaller. After walking north for a while, it became clearer.
Later, a sound of a pipa came, attracting Xue Chongxun's attention. From a distance, he saw a woman in a silk skirt playing the pipa alone under the eaves. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could see that her skin seemed very white, the same color as the snow outside.
Li Yi smiled and said: I was originally a singer, but the Jieduan bought her for 150 pieces of silk... Hey, I usually have to buy a slave who is a traitor. I don’t want the Jieduan to buy a good thing for a small amount of money. I got it back and changed my clothes and dressed up. It was so pure that it really attracted people. How could it be like a secret prostitute who was selling X at home?This made several brothers in the army go to the restaurant and want to buy one and go home.
After saying this, Xue Chongxun found that Li Yi was quite happy and his mood improved. He laughed and said: Interesting.
Li Yi said again: The Jiedushi will not let us touch it, but Duke Wei may be more generous if he wants it.
Xue Chongxun smiled and didn't care.
At this time, the two of them had approached. As expected, the little lady playing the pipa lowered her eyebrows and looked very gentle. She blushed when she saw a stranger, which was a bit natural and pure fun.
There is a pavilion opposite the eaves. There is a white snow on the top of the pavilion, and a stove of red charcoal is burning inside. Two people are sitting there talking.
Who is not Cheng Qianli, one of the middle-aged men wearing robes?
In today's scene, Xue Chongxun was wearing a formal dress in a vermilion Xiaoke, but Cheng Qianli still looked like that...
Thinking about it, Xue Chongxun had never seen him wearing official robes and brocade belts. If he went to the capital to meet the emperor, he might not be able to dress up in a civilized manner, right?
Another person is also an acquaintance, Zhang Jishi, the nephew Zhang Shuo, the Minister of War.This guy really doesn't mind the road is far, so he ran from Chang'an to Longyou again.
Zhang Jishi had already seen Xue Chongxun and was waving to this side enthusiastically. Cheng Qianli also said: Red furnace thin wine, just wait for Duke Wei.
Xue Chongxun thought that the old boy almost lost Zhang Wulang when he refused to save him not long ago. He felt unhappy and deliberately embarrassed him. He pretended not to hear him, but walked to the little girl under the eaves and said: You play the pipa well.
The young lady stood up quickly, holding the pipa in her arms, and without saying a greeting, she lowered her head and said: I just learned it, but before, Nuer could only sing and not play.
Seeing this, Zhang Jishi and Li Yi looked at it without hesitation. Cheng Qianli seemed to understand the reason, but he was still able to hold his face and smiled calmly.
Xue Chongxun saw Cheng Qianli's calm expression from Yu Guanglai, and immediately said to the young lady: You can only sing and not play, so how can you sing?
What instruments do you play?Nour won't.
Xue Chongxun pretended to be surprised and said: No?I don’t believe that if you buy it, you will only let the pipa be learned.
Li Yiqiang held his smile, but wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Xue Chongxun dared to humiliate the governor in a joke tone, but Li Yi did not dare no matter what, and he had to pretend to be serious. At this time, his face was already swelling like a pig's liver.
The young lady lowered her head but could see the straight vermilion robe on Xue Chongxun's body and the spotless white silk in her sleeves. She should know that the person in front of her was also a person with status. She was honest and did not dare not not to reply. She thought of the man's teasing, so she whispered: Alang will let Nuer sleep, what's going on in the bed... Go and ask Alang!
Xue Chongxun let my mother go, walked straight to the pavilion, and said seriously: "Miss is so strange. It's really rude to ask me about the bed of the governor Cheng for no reason."
Cheng Qianli looked embarrassed and waved his hand and said: You go down!The little girl turned around and ran away as if she was running away.
Zhang Jishi didn't laugh, and bowed: Duke Wei is fine.He then took the opportunity to change the topic and said: But it seems that we won’t have to call Duke Wei in a short time, we still have to call him Prince.
Xue Chongxun asked while returning the gift to Zhang Jishi: How do you say this?
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: The consultation the day before yesterday was not to ask Duke Wei to be the general manager of the Fu Shidao Army. This is very meaningful, and it will be understood after thinking about it.
Xue Chongxun sat down and turned to look at Cheng Qianli: What do you think of the Jiedushi?
Cheng Qianli sighed softly and said: I haven't thought about the affairs of the court these two days... The Xianbei people besieged Shancheng and snatched all the surroundings. It is probably a bit difficult for the people there to survive this winter. The prefecture's prefecture's food storage must not be enough, and the military food cannot be moved rashly. Where can I transfer some food to it?
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun put away his joking tone and pondered: What the governor said is very true, so the officials of the state yamen must handle this matter quickly.
The few people were silent for a moment, and Zhang Jishicai said: Tubo has been defeated, and Dongping Duke should make arrangements to take down the Shi Castle as soon as possible and include the Chiling Dafeichuan area into our territory of the Tang Dynasty.In this way, Dongping Duke can not only restore the Cheng family's lintel, but also serve as a general to celebrate the history and be passed down to be a beautiful story throughout the ages. Why not do it?
A general is the minister?Cheng Qianli smiled faintly with a profound meaning.
Zhang Jishi said in surprise: Uncle is definitely not a person who is jealous of talented people!I have heard the political affairs hall that if Duke Dongping enters the court, it will be the only way to replace the elderly Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Works.The left prime minister Lu Ge Lao (Lu Xiangxian) is a rich man, so you and him will definitely be worry-free.
Cheng Qianli said with a harp: Master Zhang has been thinking too much. I just didn't think about being the prime minister. I was a little surprised to hear what you said.
Zhang Jishi was a little embarrassed.Seeing this, Xue Chongxun thought to himself: The Zhang family boy is really young, he is not as deep as Cheng Qianli.
Zhang Jishi looked over again: I brought the official documents of the Ministry of War and was about to inform Duke Wei that the court appointed you as the general manager of the Fuqidao Army. Naturally, the Ministry of War could not go against the meaning of the Political Affairs Hall, so you would have a blank rank, right?
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: I'm wondering, the border army in Shanzhou has almost completely defeated, with less than a thousand people left. Two thousand new strong men have been recruited, and it's not enough to get together. What kind of army can I do?
Zhang Jishidao: All 8,000 soldiers of the Jiannan Army were transferred to Fuqidao's tent. In addition, the Shanzhou Army had to restore the size of twenty regiments, with a total of more than 10,000 people, waiting for an opportunity to move from the northern line to the West Sea, destroy the seedlings, burn the grass, and kill the sheep, and force the Xianbei people to surrender. It would be better if they could occupy Fuqi City.The Duke of Dongping on the southern front can attract the main force of enemy soldiers, and Duke of Wei has great potential in the West Sea!
Cheng Qianli sighed: The defense line of Jishishan has been established, and in the end, we must attack Shibao...
Zhang Jishi frowned and said: Of course, we cannot defend ourselves. We should take advantage of the victory to expand, surrender the Xianbei people together, and restore the sphere of influence of our ancestors!
Xue Chongxun glanced at Cheng Qianli and said quietly: I understand the meaning of the Ministry of War. Isn’t this asking Duke Cheng Jie to chew stones in the stone fort, but take all the credits on me?We wise people don’t say secret words. Are we fair to the obvious things to the governor Cheng Jie?
Cheng Qianli hurriedly said: It is already very fair to restore the ancestral property of the Cheng family. Don’t you still promise to be the prime minister? What else can I do?But the Duke of Wei needs to make contributions and openly restore the position of the prince.
Whether it is a duke or a prince, I actually don’t really value it.
When Xue Chongxun said it, he found that it seemed to give people a very fake feeling, but in fact he was telling the truth...
All titles are false. If the Taiping Party fails in the power field, it will be useless if you are even a prince. Are those brothers Li Chengqi the examples?
Zhang Jishidao: Did Duke Dongping agree to take the stone fort?You understand, I'll go back and get a job.
Cheng Qianli sighed: There are tens of thousands of casualties, and they consume countless money and grain... The 100,000 officials in Longyou were unable to farm for many years and could not farm. They must be transported from various places to transport military supplies. I ate one stone of grain, and it will cost several times the amount of money to transport it. If local officials take advantage of the opportunity, the people will suffer indecent suffering... The previous dynasty (Sui Dynasty) conquered the people of Goryeo were not busy with their lives, and the past was not far from the future. A few officials in the court were afraid of repeating the same mistakes?
Dongping’s official words are strong!Zhang Jishi's expression turned cold. He was a member of the Political Affairs Hall of the Sinai Department. He was not a member of the Ministry of War. He could not be latched on his hat... Do you mean that he was unwilling to hit the stone fort?
Cheng Qianli said coldly: If I don’t fight the court, will I want to replace people?
Zhang Jishi said in a daze: This is not something I can argue... But we are old acquaintances. I would like to advise you, if the court replaces people and the stone fort is a fight, you have missed the great future of becoming a general and a prime minister?
There is something unexpected in Cheng Qian: Is Cheng a person who ignores the country's plans for his own benefit?Isn’t it a pity that the newcomer will attack the soldiers without regard for their lives?
Zhang Jishi showed a smile on his lips: So it is most appropriate to have to be the one in charge of Princess Dongping. The central decision cannot be changed by you and I. Please think twice.
Cheng Qianli looked up at the frozen pond not far away and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: Well, each soldier had at least one pound and two taels of food per day, and one hundred thousand people had to eat 1,000 stones a day.When you go back, you say that there is not enough food in Longyou. Then you can adjust the grain for a hundred days, plus the fine grain and grass for mules and horses, and you need 200,000 stones of grain and grass. I will get it if I have food.
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: I have money and food in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about logistics supplies.This is the final decision. If you write a memorial, I will speak to my uncle.
Cheng Qianli suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a joke.Xue Chongxun said in a slogan: Master Zhang really doesn’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive in the head.
Zhang Jishidao: This is not something we should consider.
Cheng Qianli picked up the teacup on the cork table, unbuttoned the lid, fanned it and covered it again. Seeing this, Zhang Jishi stood up and said: That Zhang was waiting for the news of Dongping Gong in Chang'an to come.
There was a banquet today, but I was not in good health and drinking. General Li accompanied Duke Wei and Chief Zhang.
Xue Chongxun also stood up and said: I have to go back. I should have celebrated with everyone, but today Ting'er cooks herself. If I don't go back, she will not forgive me.
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: Duke Wei really favors one person.
Cheng Qianli looked at Xue Chongxun and said seriously: You can treat her well. As long as I can see her have a solution for food and clothing for the rest of my life, I can meet my brother calmly after I get underground.
Xue Chongxun said: When the court really restores my throne, I will give Ting'er a title of princess.
After a few people said that, Li Yi took them out. Xue Chongxun couldn't help asking: General Li went in and out of the inner palace at will, and his relationship with Cheng Jiedu was quite close.I'm just curious about this. Are you from Jiannan?How did you get along with Director Cheng?
Li Yi stammered and finally said: Actually, it’s not a secret. My girl is in the Jiedushi’s room.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun and Zhang Jishi looked at each other and said nothing.
At this time, Li Yi said again: If the Jiannan Army is transferred to the Duke of Wei, I will no longer be the chief general of the Jiannan Army, and even Deputy General Huang will be transferred away.
Xue Chongxun said: Cheng Jiedu is very thoughtful.
The three of them walked to the gate. Zhang Jishi was staying at the shogunate and wanted to drink with Li Yi again, so he sent him here and said goodbye to each other with fists.
Xue Chongxun got on the carriage, and the groom rushed straight to the state yard.
This made him suddenly remember that the groom Pang Er from Chang'an had arrived. If it were Pang Er, he would definitely ask if he was going home.
When he returned to the state yamen, Cheng Ting was really happy when he saw him. When she was happy, she talked a lot and kept talking. I thought my uncle would keep you drinking. I heard that it was so lively there today, and we didn’t want to pass by the road, so everyone had to go all the way.
Xue Chongxun said: I was also angry. I was going to drink at his mansion and come back in the middle of the night, but your uncle didn't keep me!
Cheng Ting immediately pulled her face down: If you want to drink, then go back now!I couldn't eat the little Tianshu I made, so I happened to send it to the Cai sister to help her take care of her!
Xue Chongxun smiled, Cheng Ting looked at his face carefully, and suddenly said: You are lying, how could your uncle be ignorant!Too bad, I will ignore you again!
Xue Chongxun grabbed her hand and said: I have refused other people's kindness, and Zhang Shangshu's nephew also came from Chang'an. It's not easy for him to come all the way. I didn't even have a drink with me. I was thinking that you would cook in person tonight?
Cheng Ting gave him a blank look: Then why did you lie to me and say that my uncle didn't keep you before he came back?
I am implicit and do not take credit.
Cheng Ting frowned again and said: Actually, the husband should stay in the mansion to accompany Zhang as the head of office. It is rare to see anyone from Chang'an here. If you run back like this, others may say that I don't know the general.
A small head of the Ministry of War, I made friends with his elders, what do he do? A hundred Zhang Jishi can't compare to the position of your finger in my heart.
Cheng Ting said coquettishly: I just know how to lie to me.
Xue Chongxun reached out to feel the beauty of her slim waist on her skirt and smiled: I'm so happy to cheat you, it's not the evening...
Cheng Ting's face turned red and broke free. She tasted the little Tianshu I made first.
Xue Chongxun said: Yes, you will have strength only when you are full.
Cheng Qianli, the general manager of the marching army of the Loks, controlled the Long March and the Longyou Road border troops of more than 100,000 were in the front line of Shanzhou, Langzhou, Jishishan and Tuyuhun coalition, claiming to have fought for several months with 600,000 people. When the Tubo army was not well fed, they decisively launched a pursuit of Baili, beheaded tens of thousands, intercepted countless cattle and sheep, and won a great victory.
At this point, the vast areas suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry production, which were originally Xianbei people north of Jishishan and east of the Yellow River, all fell into the hands of the Tang people. Cheng Qianli built fortifications everywhere in Jishishan to consolidate the fruits of the war. Those who knew in the court had predicted that Longyou would become the richest granary place in the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Taiping was so happy that the substantial interests were not the main reason. The great influence of this dynasty's martial arts made her happiest.
More than 40 years ago, during the reign of the Two Saints, the famous general Xue Rengui was wiped out in Dafeichuan. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has lost its strategic advantage for nearly half a century. The Tuyuhun area, which originally relied on the Tang Dynasty to resist the eastward expansion of the Tubo people, was also included in the sphere of influence by Tubo. Therefore, the Tubo people opened up the eastern front and threatened the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Even the security of the capital Chang'an was hidden dangers.
Now taking advantage of this great victory is an opportunity to regain the attack advantage.
Princess Taiping has been comparing herself with her mother Wu Zetian, something that her father and mother had not done. She did it, and it was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
So the court quickly rewarded merits and many people were rewarded.
Cheng Qianli was granted the title of General of the Right Guard, and the title of Duke of Dongping County was restored to the Cheng family's ancestors.
The once prominent Cheng family fell during the Wu Zetian period and was restored to the status of Cheng Qianli's generation. This achievement of glorifying the ancestors was truly the greatest comfort to him.
Xue Chongxun was also appointed as the general manager of the marching of Fuqidao (Tuyuhun Royal City) for his great contribution to resisting Tuyuhun's 200,000 troops on the northern line.
Xue Chongxun was surprised: I did nothing and knew nothing.
The name Fuqidao marching chief is also nonsense. No governor has many soldiers in his hands. What army can he run?
The court could not wait to order: to seize the Shibao City, occupy the West Sea Dafeichuan and other places, completely surrender to the Tuyuhun people and let them become vassals of the Tang Dynasty again.
Taiping wants to complete her mother's unfinished achievements and let her descendants remember her name for generations!
However, the Shanzhou military did not immediately respond to the imperial court's orders and first celebrated the city. There were institutions such as military governors and governors, and each yamen was full of singing and dancing to promote peace.
As for Shancheng, which was looted most of the city and the surrounding people who were harmed by war, no one paid attention to it.
The main banquet was placed in the shogunate of Cheng Qianli. Because there were too many people celebrating the merits, the roads outside were closed, and some wine tables were placed on the street, and a curtain was pulled on it.
As soon as Xue Chongxun arrived at the carriage, his ears were buzzing... There were voices everywhere. Too many people were joking and they couldn't hear what they were saying. He saw the officials, soldiers and men sitting around the wine table in groups playing and joking.
When he got out of the car, he immediately saw General Li Yi of Jiannan Army welcomed him. The young man smiled and bowed with a kind face and said, "The governor has been waiting for Duke Wei for a long time."
When the two entered the gate, Xue Chongxun saw many generals watching dancing in the lobby north of the yard. He couldn't help but take a look. Li Yicha couldn't help but say: Everyone should celebrate after winning the battle, but the governor usually did not hesitate to make noise and was not at the banquet. Duke of Wei, please follow me.
Well, General Li will go ahead.
They walked through the front yard and walked in. As soon as the servants behind closed the door, the noise outside seemed to be blocked by a wall. The sound became much smaller. After walking north for a while, it became clearer.
Later, a sound of a pipa came, attracting Xue Chongxun's attention. From a distance, he saw a woman in a silk skirt playing the pipa alone under the eaves. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could see that her skin seemed very white, the same color as the snow outside.
Li Yi smiled and said: I was originally a singer, but the Jieduan bought her for 150 pieces of silk... Hey, I usually have to buy a slave who is a traitor. I don’t want the Jieduan to buy a good thing for a small amount of money. I got it back and changed my clothes and dressed up. It was so pure that it really attracted people. How could it be like a secret prostitute who was selling X at home?This made several brothers in the army go to the restaurant and want to buy one and go home.
After saying this, Xue Chongxun found that Li Yi was quite happy and his mood improved. He laughed and said: Interesting.
Li Yi said again: The Jiedushi will not let us touch it, but Duke Wei may be more generous if he wants it.
Xue Chongxun smiled and didn't care.
At this time, the two of them had approached. As expected, the little lady playing the pipa lowered her eyebrows and looked very gentle. She blushed when she saw a stranger, which was a bit natural and pure fun.
There is a pavilion opposite the eaves. There is a white snow on the top of the pavilion, and a stove of red charcoal is burning inside. Two people are sitting there talking.
Who is not Cheng Qianli, one of the middle-aged men wearing robes?
In today's scene, Xue Chongxun was wearing a formal dress in a vermilion Xiaoke, but Cheng Qianli still looked like that...
Thinking about it, Xue Chongxun had never seen him wearing official robes and brocade belts. If he went to the capital to meet the emperor, he might not be able to dress up in a civilized manner, right?
Another person is also an acquaintance, Zhang Jishi, the nephew Zhang Shuo, the Minister of War.This guy really doesn't mind the road is far, so he ran from Chang'an to Longyou again.
Zhang Jishi had already seen Xue Chongxun and was waving to this side enthusiastically. Cheng Qianli also said: Red furnace thin wine, just wait for Duke Wei.
Xue Chongxun thought that the old boy almost lost Zhang Wulang when he refused to save him not long ago. He felt unhappy and deliberately embarrassed him. He pretended not to hear him, but walked to the little girl under the eaves and said: You play the pipa well.
The young lady stood up quickly, holding the pipa in her arms, and without saying a greeting, she lowered her head and said: I just learned it, but before, Nuer could only sing and not play.
Seeing this, Zhang Jishi and Li Yi looked at it without hesitation. Cheng Qianli seemed to understand the reason, but he was still able to hold his face and smiled calmly.
Xue Chongxun saw Cheng Qianli's calm expression from Yu Guanglai, and immediately said to the young lady: You can only sing and not play, so how can you sing?
What instruments do you play?Nour won't.
Xue Chongxun pretended to be surprised and said: No?I don’t believe that if you buy it, you will only let the pipa be learned.
Li Yiqiang held his smile, but wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Xue Chongxun dared to humiliate the governor in a joke tone, but Li Yi did not dare no matter what, and he had to pretend to be serious. At this time, his face was already swelling like a pig's liver.
The young lady lowered her head but could see the straight vermilion robe on Xue Chongxun's body and the spotless white silk in her sleeves. She should know that the person in front of her was also a person with status. She was honest and did not dare not not to reply. She thought of the man's teasing, so she whispered: Alang will let Nuer sleep, what's going on in the bed... Go and ask Alang!
Xue Chongxun let my mother go, walked straight to the pavilion, and said seriously: "Miss is so strange. It's really rude to ask me about the bed of the governor Cheng for no reason."
Cheng Qianli looked embarrassed and waved his hand and said: You go down!The little girl turned around and ran away as if she was running away.
Zhang Jishi didn't laugh, and bowed: Duke Wei is fine.He then took the opportunity to change the topic and said: But it seems that we won’t have to call Duke Wei in a short time, we still have to call him Prince.
Xue Chongxun asked while returning the gift to Zhang Jishi: How do you say this?
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: The consultation the day before yesterday was not to ask Duke Wei to be the general manager of the Fu Shidao Army. This is very meaningful, and it will be understood after thinking about it.
Xue Chongxun sat down and turned to look at Cheng Qianli: What do you think of the Jiedushi?
Cheng Qianli sighed softly and said: I haven't thought about the affairs of the court these two days... The Xianbei people besieged Shancheng and snatched all the surroundings. It is probably a bit difficult for the people there to survive this winter. The prefecture's prefecture's food storage must not be enough, and the military food cannot be moved rashly. Where can I transfer some food to it?
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun put away his joking tone and pondered: What the governor said is very true, so the officials of the state yamen must handle this matter quickly.
The few people were silent for a moment, and Zhang Jishicai said: Tubo has been defeated, and Dongping Duke should make arrangements to take down the Shi Castle as soon as possible and include the Chiling Dafeichuan area into our territory of the Tang Dynasty.In this way, Dongping Duke can not only restore the Cheng family's lintel, but also serve as a general to celebrate the history and be passed down to be a beautiful story throughout the ages. Why not do it?
A general is the minister?Cheng Qianli smiled faintly with a profound meaning.
Zhang Jishi said in surprise: Uncle is definitely not a person who is jealous of talented people!I have heard the political affairs hall that if Duke Dongping enters the court, it will be the only way to replace the elderly Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Works.The left prime minister Lu Ge Lao (Lu Xiangxian) is a rich man, so you and him will definitely be worry-free.
Cheng Qianli said with a harp: Master Zhang has been thinking too much. I just didn't think about being the prime minister. I was a little surprised to hear what you said.
Zhang Jishi was a little embarrassed.Seeing this, Xue Chongxun thought to himself: The Zhang family boy is really young, he is not as deep as Cheng Qianli.
Zhang Jishi looked over again: I brought the official documents of the Ministry of War and was about to inform Duke Wei that the court appointed you as the general manager of the Fuqidao Army. Naturally, the Ministry of War could not go against the meaning of the Political Affairs Hall, so you would have a blank rank, right?
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: I'm wondering, the border army in Shanzhou has almost completely defeated, with less than a thousand people left. Two thousand new strong men have been recruited, and it's not enough to get together. What kind of army can I do?
Zhang Jishidao: All 8,000 soldiers of the Jiannan Army were transferred to Fuqidao's tent. In addition, the Shanzhou Army had to restore the size of twenty regiments, with a total of more than 10,000 people, waiting for an opportunity to move from the northern line to the West Sea, destroy the seedlings, burn the grass, and kill the sheep, and force the Xianbei people to surrender. It would be better if they could occupy Fuqi City.The Duke of Dongping on the southern front can attract the main force of enemy soldiers, and Duke of Wei has great potential in the West Sea!
Cheng Qianli sighed: The defense line of Jishishan has been established, and in the end, we must attack Shibao...
Zhang Jishi frowned and said: Of course, we cannot defend ourselves. We should take advantage of the victory to expand, surrender the Xianbei people together, and restore the sphere of influence of our ancestors!
Xue Chongxun glanced at Cheng Qianli and said quietly: I understand the meaning of the Ministry of War. Isn’t this asking Duke Cheng Jie to chew stones in the stone fort, but take all the credits on me?We wise people don’t say secret words. Are we fair to the obvious things to the governor Cheng Jie?
Cheng Qianli hurriedly said: It is already very fair to restore the ancestral property of the Cheng family. Don’t you still promise to be the prime minister? What else can I do?But the Duke of Wei needs to make contributions and openly restore the position of the prince.
Whether it is a duke or a prince, I actually don’t really value it.
When Xue Chongxun said it, he found that it seemed to give people a very fake feeling, but in fact he was telling the truth...
All titles are false. If the Taiping Party fails in the power field, it will be useless if you are even a prince. Are those brothers Li Chengqi the examples?
Zhang Jishidao: Did Duke Dongping agree to take the stone fort?You understand, I'll go back and get a job.
Cheng Qianli sighed: There are tens of thousands of casualties, and they consume countless money and grain... The 100,000 officials in Longyou were unable to farm for many years and could not farm. They must be transported from various places to transport military supplies. I ate one stone of grain, and it will cost several times the amount of money to transport it. If local officials take advantage of the opportunity, the people will suffer indecent suffering... The previous dynasty (Sui Dynasty) conquered the people of Goryeo were not busy with their lives, and the past was not far from the future. A few officials in the court were afraid of repeating the same mistakes?
Dongping’s official words are strong!Zhang Jishi's expression turned cold. He was a member of the Political Affairs Hall of the Sinai Department. He was not a member of the Ministry of War. He could not be latched on his hat... Do you mean that he was unwilling to hit the stone fort?
Cheng Qianli said coldly: If I don’t fight the court, will I want to replace people?
Zhang Jishi said in a daze: This is not something I can argue... But we are old acquaintances. I would like to advise you, if the court replaces people and the stone fort is a fight, you have missed the great future of becoming a general and a prime minister?
There is something unexpected in Cheng Qian: Is Cheng a person who ignores the country's plans for his own benefit?Isn’t it a pity that the newcomer will attack the soldiers without regard for their lives?
Zhang Jishi showed a smile on his lips: So it is most appropriate to have to be the one in charge of Princess Dongping. The central decision cannot be changed by you and I. Please think twice.
Cheng Qianli looked up at the frozen pond not far away and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: Well, each soldier had at least one pound and two taels of food per day, and one hundred thousand people had to eat 1,000 stones a day.When you go back, you say that there is not enough food in Longyou. Then you can adjust the grain for a hundred days, plus the fine grain and grass for mules and horses, and you need 200,000 stones of grain and grass. I will get it if I have food.
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: I have money and food in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about logistics supplies.This is the final decision. If you write a memorial, I will speak to my uncle.
Cheng Qianli suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a joke.Xue Chongxun said in a slogan: Master Zhang really doesn’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive in the head.
Zhang Jishidao: This is not something we should consider.
Cheng Qianli picked up the teacup on the cork table, unbuttoned the lid, fanned it and covered it again. Seeing this, Zhang Jishi stood up and said: That Zhang was waiting for the news of Dongping Gong in Chang'an to come.
There was a banquet today, but I was not in good health and drinking. General Li accompanied Duke Wei and Chief Zhang.
Xue Chongxun also stood up and said: I have to go back. I should have celebrated with everyone, but today Ting'er cooks herself. If I don't go back, she will not forgive me.
Zhang Jishi smiled and said: Duke Wei really favors one person.
Cheng Qianli looked at Xue Chongxun and said seriously: You can treat her well. As long as I can see her have a solution for food and clothing for the rest of my life, I can meet my brother calmly after I get underground.
Xue Chongxun said: When the court really restores my throne, I will give Ting'er a title of princess.
After a few people said that, Li Yi took them out. Xue Chongxun couldn't help asking: General Li went in and out of the inner palace at will, and his relationship with Cheng Jiedu was quite close.I'm just curious about this. Are you from Jiannan?How did you get along with Director Cheng?
Li Yi stammered and finally said: Actually, it’s not a secret. My girl is in the Jiedushi’s room.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun and Zhang Jishi looked at each other and said nothing.
At this time, Li Yi said again: If the Jiannan Army is transferred to the Duke of Wei, I will no longer be the chief general of the Jiannan Army, and even Deputy General Huang will be transferred away.
Xue Chongxun said: Cheng Jiedu is very thoughtful.
The three of them walked to the gate. Zhang Jishi was staying at the shogunate and wanted to drink with Li Yi again, so he sent him here and said goodbye to each other with fists.
Xue Chongxun got on the carriage, and the groom rushed straight to the state yard.
This made him suddenly remember that the groom Pang Er from Chang'an had arrived. If it were Pang Er, he would definitely ask if he was going home.
When he returned to the state yamen, Cheng Ting was really happy when he saw him. When she was happy, she talked a lot and kept talking. I thought my uncle would keep you drinking. I heard that it was so lively there today, and we didn’t want to pass by the road, so everyone had to go all the way.
Xue Chongxun said: I was also angry. I was going to drink at his mansion and come back in the middle of the night, but your uncle didn't keep me!
Cheng Ting immediately pulled her face down: If you want to drink, then go back now!I couldn't eat the little Tianshu I made, so I happened to send it to the Cai sister to help her take care of her!
Xue Chongxun smiled, Cheng Ting looked at his face carefully, and suddenly said: You are lying, how could your uncle be ignorant!Too bad, I will ignore you again!
Xue Chongxun grabbed her hand and said: I have refused other people's kindness, and Zhang Shangshu's nephew also came from Chang'an. It's not easy for him to come all the way. I didn't even have a drink with me. I was thinking that you would cook in person tonight?
Cheng Ting gave him a blank look: Then why did you lie to me and say that my uncle didn't keep you before he came back?
I am implicit and do not take credit.
Cheng Ting frowned again and said: Actually, the husband should stay in the mansion to accompany Zhang as the head of office. It is rare to see anyone from Chang'an here. If you run back like this, others may say that I don't know the general.
A small head of the Ministry of War, I made friends with his elders, what do he do? A hundred Zhang Jishi can't compare to the position of your finger in my heart.
Cheng Ting said coquettishly: I just know how to lie to me.
Xue Chongxun reached out to feel the beauty of her slim waist on her skirt and smiled: I'm so happy to cheat you, it's not the evening...
Cheng Ting's face turned red and broke free. She tasted the little Tianshu I made first.
Xue Chongxun said: Yes, you will have strength only when you are full.
