Chapter 28 Qiuci Town (5) Accident
After staying in the inn in the city for a day, Sun Xiurong finally met Fu Meng Lingcha.
Speaking of which, Meng Lingcha is younger than He Lou Yurun, deputy envoy of Yanqi Town, and is only in his early forties. However, from Sun Xiurong's perspective, he seemed to have become much haggard this year after becoming the third-rank Jiedushi.
What caused by the greed for alcohol and sex after taking over the power?
The result of being trembling in the Western Regions alone?
In fact, at this stage, Meng Lingcha has nowhere to be promoted. Further up, it is a real guru. Originally, this position was prepared for the generals of the border army at the beginning, but later it was mostly the prince and the prime minister. For those who have reached the high position of Jiedu, the title of chief and deputy post of three provinces and six ministries is mostly the "Civil Secretary", at most one is "Criminal Master, Prince Shao Tutor, Prince Shao Guard", and then serves as Jieduan in multiple jurisdictions.
As for achieving the high position of prime minister, there is no precedent, but it has been extremely rare since Wu Zhou.
What's more, this is even more so when the Tang army had an absolute advantage in combat power, and the surrounding tribes were all trembling. In the Western Regions, gold, silver and gems were their specialties since the Han Dynasty. A large number of chiefs with more than 5,000 households in Dingkou would have some such items.
Like the Zhaowu countries, kings and nobles who had been lingering in the Western Regions for hundreds of years, the families of kings and nobles were naturally rich.
This is also an important reason why Gao Xianzhi later coveted the Shi Kingdom and robbed the entire city of Zhezhe City. Of course, with the current knowledge, most of them are like Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi is known as the king of mountain in this era, and he is just more courageous.
Fu Meng Lingcha was obviously not as brave as Gao Xianzhi, but this did not prevent him from having the same wealth as Gao Xianzhi, because he had some courageous generals, such as Cheng Qianli, the current deputy envoy of the Lixi Jiedushi and the Hanhai Army guardian north of the Tianshan Mountains. He was a famous man who was both cruel and greedy.
His subordinates are greedy and will not forget him, the highest official, so he can collect a lot of money and beauties in Kucha.
Dugu Jun was still sitting in Fu Meng Lingcha's room. When he saw it was him, Sun Xiurong's feeling of a little nervous just now finally settled down.
After Dugu Jun became Sima of the Anxi Protectorate, his rank was promoted to a high-ranking official from the fourth rank, and he was also an extraordinary senior official. Of course, Wang Tao, the official of Menglingcha, sat aside to record.
Before coming in, he had already learned that Wang Tao was about to be promoted to judge of the Great Protectorate. Now it is probably the last time he has been present as an insider with "a lot of oil but a low position".
"Sun Xiurong from the Ministry of Justice meets with the Jiedushi Sima!"
"sit"
Compared with Hu Meng Lingcha's slightly haggard face, Dugu Jun's expression was normal, which made Sun Xiurong even more relaxed.
"The three riders and eight hundred miles of rush should not be for Liu Longxian..."
"Dalang"
The person who spoke was Dugu Jun.
In fact, there were also idle positions in the Tang Dynasty, chief and Sima who had high salaries and low real power. If they were in the mainland, they were all positions in name only, mostly used for demotion, in border towns, especially in the Great Protectorate. Chief and Sima were rarely set up, and most of them were judges and officials who were in charge of the military. Some officials in Chang'an served as the same position - for example, someone around the prime minister and the prince, because the prime minister, the prince himself served as the Great Protector.
But in a border town, once you are given a real teacher, you will be a real senior official.
The chief minister of the Anxi Protectorate has always been vacant, and most of them are someone in Chang'an. Since Dugu Jun has been given a real title, he is naturally the third person behind Fu Meng Lingcha and Deputy Envoy Cheng Qianli.
When Sun Xiurong knelt down and drank water, he suddenly thought of a question.
"Everyone said that I had stuck Dugu Jun's light, but in fact, it could also be said that Dugu Jun had stuck my light. After all, the governor's office was the only enclave of the Tang Dynasty in a foreign land. It was mostly the eyes of the Holy Emperor, and Dugu Jun also became the real Sima."
"Ahem"
With Dugu Jun's coughing lightly, Sun Xiurong quickly returned to reality from his seemingly ordinary but actually complicated thoughts.
"The fast horse sent by the deputy envoy brings news..."
Sun Xiurong quickly held his breath.
"Xilin Guardian Liu Longxian went out for inspection and did not return in March. The officer of the guard and the city arresting officer reported to the Hanhai Army. Hanhai Army sent Yu Hou out for investigation, and his hard work paid off..."
Sun Xiurong felt a thrill, but it was still normal on the surface. He was holding the white white porcelain water cup of Xingyao, Hebei Road, slowly drinking water.
"In the lower reaches of the Yili River, the corpses of Liu Longxian and his group were found in the sandbank area with swamps. At that time, they were visiting Ma Lin, the Yuhou of Hanhai Army. He found clues from the local herders, and finally followed the map to find the horses and finally found their bodies."
"Oh?" Sun Xiurong showed a very curious look, "Who is Liu Longxian?"
Humeng Lingcha stared at him for a long time, and then said for a while: "Liu Longxian is a general under my command of Lixi. He is brave and good at fighting, a pity."
Dugu Jun continued: "Since the incident has been several months, all the corpses have been corrupted and are extremely indisputable, but from the perspective of their clothing and weapons, they should be Liu Longxian and his ranks."
"Did Liu Longxian and the others meet a horse thief?"
"Horse thief?" Hu Meng Lingcha snorted, "Liu Longxian can deal with dozens of horse thieves alone, not to mention that he has hundreds of elite soldiers. Which group of horse thieves dare to stroke his tiger beard?"
"So it's a local tribe?"
"Yes," at this time, Fu Meng Lingcha completely took over the conversation. "There are two doubts. One is naturally the Geluo tribe in the swamp, but they did not admit it if they were beaten to death, claiming that someone blamed him."
"One is, according to the report of the Wuxin, the Wuxin, the army officer of Xilin, Liu Longxian and his gang went to the pasture of Gongyue's tribe to inspect. Somehow, their bodies appeared on the edge of the pasture of Geluo's tribe. The biggest suspicion was that in the months when Liu Longxian disappeared, the Gongyue's tribe suddenly moved to the Suiyechuan River Basin."
As he said that, not only him, but also Dugu Jun, stared at Sun Xiurong.
Sun Xiurong smiled slightly, "Jiangsu, Sima, the Ministry of Justice has already written to say that since the establishment of the General Administration of the Saiye, the Ministry of Justice has worked hard to deal with the various tribes, which can be considered as sleeping in the night, for fear that a little care will cause a disaster. You know that there were ten remaining tribes in the Western Turks. The Tuqian annexed the right-wing Axi, and Geshu, half of the two tribes, are the strongest."
"But in the battles between Suye City and Talas, the strength of the Tuqi Shi Khan Kingdom with these three tribes as the core was wiped out by our Tang Dynasty Heavenly Army. In other words, although the name of Tuqi Shi is still there, these three tribes have been destroyed. Some of their herdsmen belong to the Ashijie tribe, some to the Chumukun tribe, and some to the Huluju tribe. Of course, a small number of them surrendered to the Governor's Office."
"Since then, the situation around the Governor's Office has not changed much. Ah Xijie, Chumukun, Geshu, and Hu Luju are all mostly herders with more than 20,000 herdsmen, and hundreds of thousands of Dingkou are still not something that the Governor's Office can compete with."
"Because the official wife of the Ministry of Education comes from the Southern Bow Department, and the Southern Bow Department comes from the Gongyue Department, the Gongyue Department, which is sandwiched between the major departments mentioned earlier, naturally became the target of my favor. In addition, most of the herdsmen in this department are from the Donghu tribe in the north of the Mo, and they are incompatible with the surrounding Turkic blogs, so the Ministry of Education naturally has the opportunity to win over."
"After the vocational department came to the Gongyue Ministry, he did not see Liu Longxian and his party. After discussing in detail with the two great chiefs of the Gongyue Ministry, Suoge and Sahalian, they also agreed to accept the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office and moved the herdsmen to the Suoyechuan River Basin."
"Okay", Sun Xiurong had already told Dugu Jun this section before, and also sent a letter to Fu Meng Lingcha. After hearing this, Fu Meng Lingcha waved his hand. His expression was very complicated. As a descendant of the Qiang people, he could hold the position of Jiedushi in the border town surrounded by Han people. He could still have some tricks to observe his words and expressions. He naturally suspected that Sun Xiurong was making trouble, but the current situation did not allow him to cause trouble again.
Liu Longxian is no longer there. If Sun Xiurong, who has gained a foothold in the Talas area because of his affairs, would definitely be unstable in the Western Regions. This is also his. If Gao Xianzhi is, he would definitely take Sun Xiurong immediately.
"Since it is believed that it is a good thing that the Gloru tribe has done, it must be punished. If the ministry is close to Talas, let the Governor's Office implement it."
Sun Xiurong was shocked. He made all kinds of preparations, but he didn't expect that he could deceive him so easily. He quickly said, "How to punish him? Should he exterminate the clan or capture the B-shibo?"
Fu Meng Lingcha said: "It's all right to destroy the clan, you don't know that they are just a small branch of Geluo. At the western end of the north of Mo, there is also a powerful Geluo tribe with tens of thousands of households. It is easy for our army to destroy this unit, but it would be bad if it caused another wave in Mo,"
"It's just like grabbing the B-shirt bowl and supporting one person to the throne, and let the newly appointed people come to the Protectorate to receive guidance, and then go to Chang'an to pay tribute, waiting for the Holy Emperor to reward him."
"yes!"
"By the way", Fu Meng Lingzhan looked at Dugu Jun, "This matter should be Sima."
Dugu Jun nodded, "Xiurong, I came from Chang'an not long ago, saying that the Yechuan Governor's Office would also send eunuchs and military commanders. Now this person has arrived and is in the residence of the Bian Zhongcheng. He is close to you and is just right to help each other."
Sun Xiurong sighed in her heart and thought to herself: "I can't escape after all."
But he said, "Of course it's good. Whose name is this person?"
Dugu Jun said, "This person is named Yu Chaoen. He was originally a small eunuch from the Provincial Escort Province. Later, he was transferred to the Prince's Mansion. After the father-in-law Li Fuguo returned, he sent him here. You also know that at present, the large-scale gubernatorial palaces of Anxi and Beiting are all part of the Prince's Highness."
"Is it him?"
Sun Xiurong complained in his heart, why did he meet several famous eunuchs in Tangzhong?
Dugu Jun said: "Xiurong, this man entered the palace at the age of ten. He is now in a high position at the age of eighteen. Although he is young, he is extremely smart and has a very old method. You should get along well with him."
Sun Xiurong nodded, "That's natural, I will definitely get along well with Eunuch Yu."
Fu Meng Lingcha continued, "I already know your purpose, it is nothing more than the three thousand sets of winter battle robes. You can do it later with Wang Tao." As he said that, he yawned and Sun Xiurong quickly sued his back.
Dugu Jun followed him out, and they were talking while walking out.
"Xiurong, don't be lazy. Just let your subordinates do the battle robe. Hurry up and meet the ambassador of the military supervisor. Yu Chaoen was only eighteen years old and could be seen by the Holy Emperor and the Prince. It is definitely a big deal. You have to be careful in the future."
