...Father, can't we leave Songzhou now?" Next to Zhang Yifeng is his second son Zhang Pian. His face is shiny, and his fat face shows that his eyes are small, but his bones are straight at the moment.
His eyes kept turning, and there was even more excitement in his eyes. In these years, he has gained a lot of benefits in Songzhou City by relying on his relationship with me. But Songzhou is Songzhou after all.
A border city, it is far less prosperous than those from the mainland. Longxi is close to the capital and is on the Silk Road. If he becomes an official there, his son will definitely get more benefits.
So he felt excited.
Zhang Yifeng frowned and did not answer his son's words. Of course he could clearly see what was written in the imperial edict, but more importantly, what was written behind the edict was what was most important. The emperor was really
If it is the former, it is not impossible to go to Longxi, but if it is the latter, there may be a big problem. This makes him very embarrassed.
"The imperial edict has been issued, can it still be changed?" Zhang Yifeng suddenly sighed. If there is another trick, it cannot be avoided. What's more, in his heart, he believes that Lu Zhaoci is a great emperor.
, if he wanted to capture someone, there was no need to resort to other methods. All he needed was an imperial edict. Why would it be so troublesome? He just let himself give up Songzhou like this, and he felt really reluctant to give up.
"What a pity." Zhang Pian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "My Zhang family has been rooted in Songzhou for decades. Do we have to go back to the past this time? I heard that although Longxi is good, there are still many things in Longxi.
Although the family power of the Li family has been attacked by Bi Ping in recent years, the Li family in Longxi is a family that has been around for hundreds of years. It may not have much strength in the court, but in Longxi, no family can compete with it.
When the Zhang family went to Longxi, even if my father became the governor, I'm afraid he would have to give the Li family in Longxi a lot of face."
Zhang Yifeng looked at his son in surprise. He didn't expect that his playboy, who only knew how to bully his kind son every day, would think so much. If he knew that his son was so sober, it was because he was worried that he would never be able to return to Longxi again.
If he is not known as the number one dandy in Longxi, I don’t know what he would think.
"Longxi Li family?" Zhang Yifeng sighed slightly when he heard this. He was already dissatisfied with the fact that he was leaving Songzhou, but now that his son said this, he felt even more reluctant to part with it. But
So what can we do? The imperial edict has been issued, and no matter how dissatisfied it is, it must be implemented! He then waved his hands and said, "Go tell everyone, pack your bags! Let's go to Longxi."
"Father, you are not young anymore. Traveling long distances is not good for your health. It is better to write to the court and stay in Songzhou!" Zhang Pian looked at Zhang Yifeng cautiously. In the final analysis, "He still doesn't want to leave Songzhou."
Although Longxi is very good, it has a fatal flaw, that is, Zhang Yifeng is old. Who knows how many more years he can be the governor, not to mention the long journey from Songzhou to Longxi, and Zhang Yifeng is not too young.
"If anything happens, the entire Zhang family will be in catastrophe, but staying in Songzhou is different. No matter what, the Zhang family is still a prominent family in Songzhou. Even if Zhang Yifeng dies, it will only be temporarily weakened.
, who can do to Zhang?
"I know, please step back first." Zhang Yifeng shrank the light in his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Let me think about it carefully." Yes! He has calculated everything, the only thing he has not calculated is himself.
At your age, according to the regulations of the imperial court, how many years before you have to become an official at your age? Maybe three or four years, maybe one or two years, what can you do in one or two years? If you are going to Longxi
If I get sick on the way, I'm afraid I will be killed soon.
It doesn't matter if he becomes an official, but what about the Zhang family? I'm afraid it will decline soon. When he thought of this, Zhang Yifeng's expression changed. He absolutely cannot leave Songzhou. When people leave, Zhang can no longer be like this
Didn't fall.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yifeng did not dare to neglect, and quickly took out a piece of snow-white letter paper from one side, and began to write on it carefully. After a while, he put the letter away and put it into a small
Inside the box, a follower was summoned and whispered a few words into his ear. The follower did not dare to neglect and quickly took the letter and left.
"Whether it succeeds or not, we have to listen to destiny. If destiny fails, there is nothing we can do about it." Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but hate the Tubo people at this time. If the Tubo people hadn't come to harass, how would the imperial court have targeted Songzhou?
In this small city, Zhang Yifeng is still the boss of Songzhou. How could he be so frightened and uneasy? When he thought of this, Zhang Yifeng's face suddenly darkened. He looked to the northwest and snorted coldly, but he seemed to have thought of something.
Sighed deeply.
"Rengui! Originally, this time you and I could join forces and fight a bright war, and let the Tibetan people on the opposite side see how powerful you and me are. But now we've done it. Now you're good. We went to camp in the south.
"In the military camp outside the city, Qin Yong looked at the imperial edict on the case with a wry smile on his face.
He knew that this was the emperor's final decision on the matter and that no one could change it, which made him very depressed.
"Master Marquis, I heard that many generals in the court have written to Your Majesty?" Zhou Qing on the side suddenly asked cautiously.
"As this happened, I even sent a letter to His Majesty to think of Zhang Yifeng and others.
Qin Yong nodded and said:... His Majesty went to war on the battlefield and expanded the territory not only to show off his martial arts, but more importantly, to protect the country and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Being bullied by the foreigners, Zhang Yifeng is now good. Not only did he take away the food and grass, but he also gave the brothel girls to the foreigners. Hum, aren't these brothel girls Han people? Such treacherous officials and traitors deserve to be killed.
.”
"Although that's the case, this matter is handled with care." Zhou Qing sighed deeply.
"Zhou Qing, you and I are both soldiers. We should speak straightforwardly. If you have anything to say, just say it to my face and leave." Qin Yong frowned and said slightly dissatisfied.
"Master Marquis, in fact, His Majesty also hates Zhang Yifeng. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transfer him out of Songzhou. As long as he leaves Songzhou, the next step is to be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Your Majesty does not want to resolve this matter in Songzhou.
Because this person is very powerful in Songzhou, and "dealing with him here" may cause turmoil in Songzhou, so for the sake of safety, he was asked to leave Songzhou. If he did not leave, your majesty would grant the title of Marquis
It is my decree to act expediently." Zhou Qing explained gently.
Sen Yong was stunned. The last sentence of the imperial edict had something to do with it, but he felt strange at the time. He didn't expect that there was such a little secret in it. At this time, when Zhou Qing brought it up, it felt like it was really true.
Such a thing.
"Go on," Qin Zun nodded and said to Zhou Qing.
"Master Marquis, who is commanding the army of the Tang Dynasty? It is His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not the general." Zhou Qing sneered: "In the past, when General Li was here, your Majesty might be able to tolerate it." But this time
, but it is General Xu Shiji who is in charge of the entire army. Do the generals of this army also want to obey him in everything? Not to mention other generals in the army, just take the Marquis as an example!
Who is the Marquis? He is His Majesty's student, and students should listen to their teachers. This is an eternal principle." But the Marquis also submitted a letter, which made His Majesty very angry."
"I didn't expect this." Qin Yong thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "It's just that this matter was not done by the general. After all, the soldiers were very dissatisfied with this person."
"Even so, the Marquis does not have any influence." But the general is more worried about the general." Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "The general did not reprimand the generals afterwards. This is the biggest drawback."
"The general is the representative of our generals. This matter is also related to our future future. Why should the general stop it?" Xue Rengui said slightly dissatisfied.
"Hmph! The world belongs to your Majesty, and your Majesty is also a military commander. How could your Majesty not know what is going on here? If you want to stop it, it will be your Majesty who will stop it. When will it be the general's turn? The general's move was bribed.
The generals are suspicious." Zhou Qing sneered and said: "The military power belongs to your Majesty, how can your Majesty be happy? Of course, the general did this to establish his authority in the army, manage the three armies, and prepare for the attack on Tibet. But prestige
This thing, on the one hand, relies on military merit, but more importantly, it relies on His Majesty's gift. The general's move is suspected of buying the morale of the military, and he will definitely be severely punished by Your Majesty, haha! Even if it is not severely punished, at least His Majesty will punish him.
He took certain measures. No one would be worried about this kind of thing. Xu Shiji's army had nearly 200,000 elite soldiers. If something happened, who would dare to take the responsibility...
In fact, in the army, there are only two types of people that Your Majesty trusts. One is like the general, who is your Majesty's direct descendant, from the dragon to the present, and the other is people like you and me who have graduated from martial arts.
His disciples. Only such two kinds of people will His Majesty be able to grant military power and let them lead the troops with peace of mind." As soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, Qin Yong and Xue Rengui in the crowd fell silent. After thinking carefully, they had to admit that
What Zhou Qing said is extremely reasonable.
"Now I hope that the general can come to His Majesty with a memorial and make an argument." Zhou Qing said softly. Qin Yong and Xue Rengui shook their heads. Neither of them are fools. Once this happens,
, it cannot be done with just an explanation. No emperor will be vague when it comes to Taoist and military power issues. This time the emperor will not simply let the matter go. It is conceivable.
I know that after this incident, the emperor will definitely make thunderous moves, but I don’t know what impact all this will have on Xu Shiji. Everyone knows that Xu Shiji cannot have other thoughts, but no matter what, his behavior
This approach is incorrect. If every general in the future has this mentality, where will the imperial power be placed?
But all this is not what Qin Yong and Xue Rengui are concerned about. For the two of them, one wants to drive the Tubo army out of Yinfeng Gorge as soon as possible, while the other is worried about what will happen to him after he goes to the southern imperial camp.
The arrangement of this group of brothers. Zhou Qing and others have been with him for many years. At this time, handing them over to Qin Yong also requires some instructions.
"Haha, Champion, we will go to the imperial camp this time. I'm afraid the plan you and I made will have to be implemented by Zhou Qing." Xue Rengui did not continue the topic, but looked at Zhou Qing aside with a smile and said.
"Okay." Qin Yong glanced at Zhou Qing on the side, nodded and said: "Maybe Zhou Qing is not as good as you in martial arts, but he is far superior to you in some aspects. Maybe he can't charge into the battle, but he has to hold back Qin Ling."
It's still possible. But now that you've gone to the imperial camp, I'm afraid you'll have to face more than just ordinary soldiers. There are many tribes from the four southwest tribes hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and they have various ways of attacking others. You have to be careful.
Already."
Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Zhou Qing and others looked at Qin Yong with curious eyes, obviously not understanding why Qin Yong was so familiar with the four southwest regions.
"Haha! At first, I thought I would have the opportunity to follow Your Majesty to conquer the four southwest regions, so I got to know the four southwest regions. But what I didn't expect is that now I don't have the opportunity, but you, Rengui, have the opportunity to go to the front line." Qin
Yong smiled and said: "Rengui, on your way here, you must have a detailed understanding of the affairs in the Southwest. Your Majesty may not be able to stay in the Southwest for long."
"What does Champion Hou Ran mean?" Xue Rengui's expression changed and he asked in surprise.
"This matter is too big for Your Majesty to just let it go." Qin Yong sighed deeply and said, "What's more, although Southwest is in a stalemate now, it's obvious that everyone can see it.
Come out, the overall situation in the southwest has been decided, and not just anyone can make a comeback. Any general with a little bit of military command ability can pacify the southwest, let alone the disciple of the general. After Rengui left, soon,
If we can pacify the southwest, then the decisive battle between our dynasty and Tubo will be in the Dafeichuan area. Although the general is very good at fighting, this battle is related to the situation in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty and even to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty, so His Majesty should personally command it.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the general to fight this war alone. The general is under great pressure! Your Majesty may have to go to Dafeichuan in person."
"That's very good. It's a pity that I can't follow His Majesty and fight with the Tubo people!" Xue Rengui and others had a trace of regret on their faces, but more complex expressions. Because Qin Yong said
Of course, there is some truth in what happened, but more importantly, everyone understood that because of the impact of this matter, the actions of the general had touched the sensitive nerves of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The army of the Tang Dynasty should be placed under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
The hands of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should not be controlled by the generals. The generals of the Tang Dynasty should also listen to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not the generals. The emperor can be kind to the generals, but the generals cannot
.So it was expected that Lu Zhaoci would go to Dafeichuan in the northwest...
"Master Hou, Master Hou! It's a big deal, it's a big deal." At this moment, Wang Xinhe, who was transporting grain and grass into the city, barged in. There was excitement on his face, as if he had encountered something big.
Surprising.
Qinhe, why are you so happy?" Qin Yong asked in surprise.
"Master Hou, when I was walking on the street just now, I heard a piece of news and I didn't dare to neglect it, so I came to report to Master Hou." Wang Xinhe said with a smile.
"What news?" Xue Rengui asked in surprise.
"Master Marquis, brother, there are rumors everywhere in Songzhou City that Zhang Yifeng colluded with the Tubo people. Not only did he send them military supplies and beautiful women, but more importantly, he prepared to separate Songzhou and raise troops to claim the kingship on the condition of surrendering to the Tubo people."
Wang Xinhe said with a smile: "Now that the news has spread throughout Songzhou City, I don't dare to neglect it and come quickly to report to the Marquis and Big Brother."
To be continued...
