He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 42 Book Making
After speaking, Wu Shen came out from behind the curtain, discussed with everyone, and decided to stand still and wait for news from the court.
From then on, a stone street in Zicheng seemed to become the Chu River Han boundary.Su An devoted himself to practicing Xiqin in the house, regardless of the people coming and going outside the window, and no longer went to the teaching workshop, but entrusted the army to send mutton and hot soup to Gu Yue sooner or later.He didn't want to owe Xue Jing any favors, and he was also afraid that if he saw Gu Yue again, he couldn't help but go to the state capital or Jiedu Daying to dignify people.
A long wait kicked off, and the announcement of the replacement of Jiedushi had not yet arrived. Chang'an, like an old man sleeping soundly, did not even make the slightest snoring sound.
During this period, Su An only heard about the sudden outbreak of the Northern Saibei War, but he did not expect the situation to change. When a deadly military report was sent back from the front, it was already Kaiyuan 21, the [-]th day of the first month.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, in the dead of night, a group of messenger cavalry with red pennants on their backs, wearing stars and wearing moons, dismounted at the north city gate, and shouted two earth-shattering words in a hoarse voice full of blood: "Good news!"
"Good news! Good news from Yuguan!" All of a sudden, gongs and drums sounded throughout the city, and the people opened the windows and doors, walked to the street, and saw the sky glowing with purple light, as if thousands of nian beasts had lost their way and rushed towards the world.
Su An woke up from the dream, rubbed his eyes, immediately got up and dressed, and went to the next yard to look for Wang Tingfu and Guo Yi.As soon as they entered the gate, the whole courtyard was full of torches dancing wildly, everyone's eyes were bright red, the governor Wu Shen and the governor Shi were also there, and there were traces of sleepiness that had not slept all night on their faces.
The messenger soldiers of the Jiedu camp knelt down on one knee and relayed the battle situation: "General Zheng led [-] black iron cavalry, divided into two groups, and attacked Dushan at night. mile, self-damaged less than [-]."
Guo Yi asked: "Have any captured enemy soldiers?" Bing replied: "No one has been killed." Guo Yi said: "Where is Zheng Qinfeng now?" Bing replied: "Yuguan is being repaired." After thinking for a while, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly and stopped again.
Wang Tingfu said: "What are the instructions for Jieduying?" The soldier said: "The next day, Mr. Xue hosted a banquet and invited Governor Wu to celebrate with you. He also said that Gu Xiaoshu should attend in vain." Wang Tingfu said: "Okay."
As soon as the messengers left, the report of the great victory was rushed from the official post for eight hundred miles to Chang'an.Everyone went into the room to discuss matters without rest.Su An was stunned, sent away the servants around him, and went to serve the charcoal fire, and must hear the whole story.
As soon as the door was closed, Guo Yi pulled out his sword with a stern expression: "Firstly, the Khitan people pay attention to water sources and will never camp near the arid capital mountain; Not so defenseless, three times, in the canyon, front and rear attack is death, if there are no prisoners of war, it is unbelievable."
Wu Shen hadn't eaten yet, so he just sipped hot goat's milk: "It is reasonable to say that the distance between the two places, even if you run to death, is still half an hour away." Chang Shi added: "The people in the watchtower along the way , also has not heard of this newspaper."
There are various indications that this is a false victory. Although the battle situation on the front line is not yet clear, Xue Yu has already made this move, which shows that the celebration banquet is a grand feast, not only in Youzhou, but even in Chang'an.
At this critical moment, Chang Shi left to report to Chang'an. Guo Yi decided to lead two thousand light cavalry to Yuguan to collect evidence.Su An said, the banquet venue should be set where the people can see it, Wu Shen thought about it, and immediately asked Sima to go to Jieduying to convey that there would be no banquets in Beishi.
Everyone didn't dare to get tired, and went to work separately.Su An went back to the house, sat alone by the green lantern for a while, sighed, and ordered the servants to go to the water room to fetch a large bucket of hot water.The servant was a little surprised: "My lord?" Su An said, "I want to take a bath."
The servants moved four small poplar screens to enclose a square airtight space.The hot water rushed into the bathtub, and white mist appeared. The wood was soaked in water, its texture was like satin, and its fragrance was like honey, diluting all anxiety.
Su An took off his coat, and put the white jacket inside to the screen: "Get my red jade ointment." The servant bowed his head: "Yes." Su An stepped into the hot water, and at that moment, Shu Run penetrated into his muscles and bones through the pores, With the blood rushing to his cheeks, he inhaled deeply, exhaled again, put his arms on the side of the barrel, and fell into the calm before the storm.
A month ago, the world was peaceful, with no weapons, no hatred, only endless laughter and singing and dancing. Now, we have to face repeated dangers every day, and are surrounded by invisible enemies all the time, and we cannot relax at all.
"Do you know how to get this red jade paste?" Su An closed his eyes and said to the servant, "First grind almonds into fine powder, mix with light powder and talcum powder, steam over fire, then add ice flakes, use Egg white preparation..."
After thinking about it carefully, he finally understood why the words Lin Zhenzhen taught him could make a difference.
Suddenly, Su An's ears moved, and the window paper slapped slightly. Immediately, a tall figure broke in from the outside.Su An's eyes widened, and he stood up: "Xue joins the army?" Xue Jing's voice was hoarse: "Young Master Su, listen to me." Su An said: "You talk through the screen, don't come in."
Xue Jing was quiet: "Young Master, Mr. Xue has reported victory to the imperial court years ago. Right now, the reward books have flooded Zhongshu Province. In order to calm the storm, he had to deal with Gu Yue to comfort the soldiers on the frontier. If you If you want to stop it, you have to resist the order and sit together. You are a happy person, don't meddle in your own business tomorrow, maybe you can escape."
Su An said: "How is the battle at Yuguan?" Xue Jing said: "Great victory." Su An said: "Tell me the truth." Xue Jing said: "Great victory, that's all I can say. Let me go."
Su An's Adam's apple moved, and his teeth were almost shattered.Xue Jing clenched his fists, turned his back, pulled the screen, and jumped away.Su An fell back into the water, hugged her knees, huddled herself into a ball, trembling uncontrollably in the mist.
How could he not know that before Guo Yi's news came back, even if they watched Gu Yue go to the execution ground, they still had to hold their breath.
On the Guanshan Mountain in the moon, eighty miles away from Youzhou, two thousand chain mail light cavalry marched along the sparkling Sangqian River, without unfurling flags, sounding horns, or lighting torches, like a giant python, quietly Walking through the dark blue mountains and rivers.
Guo Yi went to the stables in the state capital to take away the horse that Mrs. Zheng had ridden, and took hundreds of banners from the Jiedu camp before leading the team to set off.After that, he assigned five people to guard each sentry tower along the way to ensure the smooth flow of information.When the river forked, Ma raised his hooves, Guo Yi's pupils locked, and stopped at the nearby deserted Xiaoyu Village.
The earth and stone road in front of the village was covered with brown blood spots, and the soldiers swung their shovels, sweating profusely, trying to bury the traces.Guo Yi didn't get off his horse, and asked directly, "Who passed by?" The soldier knelt down and said tremblingly, "Zheng, General Zheng ordered us to bury the body..." Guo Yi said, "Where are we going?" The soldier said, "Juyongguan. "
There were more than [-] corpses, all of which were transported from nearby watchtowers, and their faces were hard to recognize.The lieutenant guessed that Zheng Qinfeng attacked rashly, was defeated and fled, retreated to Juyongguan, lied about the military situation, and killed the sentinel in the watchtower.Guo Yi said: "Follow."
Guo Yi first estimated the time, and then observed the shape of the dust in the distance. He saw that it was divided into two strands, one at the front and one at the back. It's even more complicated, not only the good news received by the state capital is false, even, the Khitan has sent a chasing army of thousands of horses to test Juyongguan.
The sentry towers along the way were empty, leaving only the flames swaying in the wind, licking bloody air.The lieutenant reined in his horse, gritted his teeth and said, "How could the Khitan drive straight in so long..." Guo Yi said, "Yu Pass has been lost." The lieutenant said, "What?!" Xue Yu's minions are pulled out."
After saying that, Guo Yi sent the Yaguan to put on the armor of the soldiers of the Jiedu Battalion, and rushed to Juyong Pass from the cliff path first, and reported that Xue Gong's reinforcements had arrived.Later, he ordered the deputy general to quickly collect all kinds of remaining armor pieces and arrow feathers, and send them all the way to Chang'an and Youzhou Mansion.
Ten miles to the pass, yellow dust filled the air, and the moon had become transparent.A lonely sentry tower, like a broken sword drinking blood, stands on the top of a bare cliff, and even the only pine tree that accompanies it has been split into two pieces at some unknown date or month.
Guo Yi calmed down when he heard the familiar and distant shouting not far away.He drew out his Langtou sword, looked at the Khitan team that was either due to recklessness, or came to explore the way, but did not move for a long time.The lieutenant said: "General, the dental officer has replied, everything is ready, it's time." Guo Yi said: "Okay, light the fire."
With an order, the raging flames were ignited, the sentry tower gradually melted in the dazzling light, the drums in Juyongguan were loud, the door opened, and a strong general came out under the cover of guns.Guo Yi unfurled the tiger banner of the Jiedu camp and ordered the cavalry to charge.Within two hours, Khitan was defeated due to injuries to his abdomen and back, and the leader killed himself.
At this point, the morning sun was rising, Guo Yi let go of the reins, let his mount smell the scent, and walked up to the general.Zheng Qinfeng took off his helmet, brushed away the white hair scattered on his forehead with bloody hands, and sighed: "It turns out that it is Guo Zuowei."
Guo Yi didn't wait for Zheng Qinfeng to say anything more, he waved his gun as a signal, and in an instant, two thousand cavalry changed their formation and locked Zheng Jun in place, unable to move.Zheng Qinfeng was startled: "This general is the deputy envoy of Fan Yang's Jiedu camp!" Guo Yi said: "I know."
Zheng Qinfeng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.Guo Yi said: "The entire army of [-] cavalry was wiped out. It can be seen that the strength of Tugan is not weak, and Xue Gong is careless." Zheng Qinfeng said: "If you hadn't been pressing every step of the way, how could Xue Gong get confused and attack rashly? , so far?" Guo Yi said: "Even if you fail so badly, you still try to wrap fire with paper, which is no different from rebellion." Zheng Qinfeng said: "You are wrong, Xue Gong has been loyal for generations, and will never be accused of rebellion. " Guo Yi said: "Okay, then I will borrow the head of your item."
Hand up, blade over.
The moment Zheng Qinfeng's head fell to the ground, the guards on the battlements of Juyongguan were stunned.Guo Yi wrapped up the head and hung it in front of his own horse.The lieutenant general said: "General, it's not too late. Although Xue Gong has no intention of rebelling, but the generals in the north are used to taking advantage, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes, and Khitan may come back at any time."
Guo Yi wiped the sword with his body and put it back into the sheath: "You are right, although we are giving Ketu a temporary warning, we must not take it lightly. In this way, I will stay here, and you take a few Khitan prisoners. ..."
When the light from the east crosses the city wall of Youzhou and shines on the market platform, the seven-treasure mat composed of the heads of cows, sheep, rabbits, roe deer, deer, geese, and bears has attracted crowds of people to watch.On the porcelain plate, the skins of the animals kept releasing oil, and gradually became crystal clear. Against the red ribbons dancing all over the street, it looked auspicious.
Su An sat on the carriage that participated in the celebration, her sleeves were tightly gathered.Wang Tingfu next to him was wearing the same mink fur as he was, and teased, "It's still warm in the winter clothes that Liniang gave." Su An forced a smile.
The celebration is divided into three parts, one is about poetry, about the joy of Saibei, about the achievements of frontier generals, the second is about eating, and the third is about dancing swords.At the time of Si, the soldiers of the brigade were stationed in Beishi, guarding the criss-cross streets and alleys, and the guns and guns stood full of tall pavilions.
As soon as Su An stepped onto the stage, he saw Xue Yu sitting in the main seat, discussing poetry with Xue Shiren and Zhao Zhang.He looked to the left again and saw that his seat was next to Wu Shen, Zhou Quan and Wang Tingfu.He didn't ask any questions either, and sat down after smoothing his robe.
When everyone arrived, Zhao Zhang got up and said, "Since we are in Youzhou, let's not learn how the Chang'an people line up the word order, but change the rough way and turn the wine beard. This wine commander should be in charge of General Zheng, but Yuguan is still in charge. There are a lot of things to deal with, and he can't come back, so I will be entrusted to supervise whether you violate the drinking order." Xue Yu said: "Okay."
Su An turned sideways, and said softly: "Didn't you say that Gu Lang will also come?" Wang Tingfu said: "I don't know if I'm dead or alive, so don't worry about it." Su An: "..." Wu Shen also stood up and responded: "It's better to obey than to respect."
Beside the banquet, Xie Yan and several other musicians in the teaching workshop were ordered to start playing music immediately.I also saw a small official bring a woodcut barbarian with a full upper part and a round lower part.Zhao Zhang picked up his wine beard, pointed his hand at Xue Yu, and set it on the lacquer plate: "The first wheel will not turn, Xue Gong has something to say to all the soldiers who have worked hard on the border and the bureaucrats from the Ministry of Rites who have come from afar."
Then, Xi Qin turned into Zheng Diao, and a poem hung down in the middle of the screen.Su An couldn't understand, and was about to ask Wang Tingfu, when Xue Yu raised his wine glass and said with emotion: "In the past, Duke Yan was demoted and served as governor of Youzhou. Invited to a banquet, I don’t want to, but I heard such a five-character rhythm.”
The cool wind blows the rain at night, and the bleakness moves the cold forest.
There is a banquet in the high hall, and you can forget the late heart.
In the army, it is advisable to dance with swords, and add heavy sounds.
If you don't become a frontier general, who knows how much kindness you will have!
"In the bitter cold land of northern Saibei, there is no song or music. You can only dance swords and listen to Xiqin and Jiayin. It is difficult to fully enjoy the joy of life. This sentence, 'If you don't be a border town general, who knows how much you will be grateful!', how stinging people's hearts are." However, Duke Yan is hypocritical, but this one is true. In one's heart, being able to sit in Youzhou and guard the people in the rear to live and work in peace and contentment is the greatest favor of the Supreme Being. The generals have guarded the border for decades without complaint or regret. One heart, one heart with the imperial court, one heart with the supreme..."
Xue Shiren offered a glass of wine.After Xue Yu finished drinking, tears welled up in his eyes, and he continued: "There are some people who are trying to provoke the relationship between Jieduying and the imperial court, just saying that a certain person is greedy for money and collecting things, and it makes all the soldiers feel cold. Makes sense? Now that Yuguan has won a great victory, I want these people to make amends for the heroic souls who died on the front line."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhang waved his sleeves and bowed to the audience, and said righteously: "Shang Shengming is of the same heart with Xue Gong, so that he can punish the sinner Gu Yue, so as to comfort the army!" Spin, it is directing to the direction.
On the main street where the red silk was fluttering, a line of gunmen escorted Gu Yue towards them.Su An trembled all over: "Eighteen..." Gu Yue's feet were bound with shackles, the wound on the back of his hand was black and pulpy, and the plain white sackcloth was as thin as paper in the wind.
"Xue Gong!" Zhou Quan's face was livid, and he coughed, "Bewitching words to confuse the crowd! When did Gu Xiaoshu ever do something so provocative?"
Su An gritted her teeth and couldn't help getting up, but before she could say anything, Wang Tingfu next to her grabbed her shoulder.Wang Tingfu raised his wine and said, "Zhao Jiujiu, since we want to judge the crime, why don't we go slowly and eat while we eat."
While the few people were talking, Gu Yue's originally slack eyes gradually became clear and bright because they were hunting for all the key information on the stage.
Zhao Zhangdao: "Gu Lang, as you can see, a great victory has been passed back from Yuguan, and Xue is open to God's grace to let you enjoy the blessing together." Gu Yue saluted, and sat down on the straw mat barefoot: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, just now I was talking about Mr. Zhang Yan. "Youzhou Night Drink"?"
At the same time, the Seven Treasures Banquet officially began. A charcoal hot pot was placed on each table. The maid brought seven kinds of meat, cut the meat into slices with a golden-handled knife, and grilled on the side of the pot until the skin was crispy and fragrant. It overflows and puts it into each bowl.
"Gu Lang, the name you hear the most these days is you." Xue Yu waited until everyone was full before asking Zhao Zhang to remove the remnants of the banquet and let the sword dancer come on stage, Go back, once in Mudanfang, once in Cangzhou, once in Fanyang County, you are really everywhere, and you have turned Fan Yangdao upside down."
Gu Yue put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes, and replied: "Xue Gong was joking, Fan Yang is an outstanding man, there used to be Jing Ke who assassinated Qin, and his ambition was in Yishui, 'Just leave in the car, and finally ignore it. ', now there is Chen Boyu chanting, "I don't see the ancients in the past, and I don't see the new ones in the future." Time doesn't wait for me. Compared with it, what is Gu? A scholar here should have thousands of pride in his heart, and death is not a pity. Why bother holding a song "Youzhou Night" "Drink" and look at the shadow and feel sorry for yourself?"
"It's just that during this trip, Gu heard a folk song, 'Pingguang harvests millet, scoffs at people's tents for incense, Jixian strikes iron, and Khitan horses' front hooves'. Three times the amount set by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the iron ore has been monopolized by Xue and Zheng for a long time, and private mining is not allowed. As a result, the people dare not cultivate rich land, and dare not touch rich products. , or go into exile."
Hearing this, Xie Yan stopped the bowstring, the scene was completely silent, only the sword dancer with the red robe and long belt was still dancing as a painting.
Zhao Zhang said with a smile: "As expected of being the number one scholar, he has such a powerful tongue, no wonder he almost deceived the saint." Xue Shiren said with a smile: "Unfortunately, today I am a wise man who can tell right from wrong." Zhao Zhang said: "Gu Lang, are you full?"
"Forgive Gu for not being able to swallow it." At this point, Gu Yue stood up dragging his chain, his voice was not loud enough for everyone to hear, "In six years, the grain and grass collected by the Jiedu camp equaled eleven of the national tax revenue, and the forged The amount of armaments ranks first in the fifteen realms, but they hesitate to advance and shrink back. The court wins as soon as it asks, and loses as soon as it leaves. It is so unpredictable, and it is useless to hand over the land six hundred miles north to Khitan. The virtue of the people does not have the power to expand the land. Dare I ask, how much is lost in today's great victory? It's just a drop in the bucket, and there is still a great celebration here, how can my conscience be at ease!"
The common people talked a lot, and some people sang the ballad that Gu Yue said.Xue Yu tightened his velvet robe, shivered, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That's enough, stop wasting your tongue, and you will be executed by military law for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army with evil words."
The guards stepped forward and fastened Gu Yue's wrists with handcuffs. At that moment, Su An could see clearly that the torturer pinched Gu Yue's infected right hand, and without asking a word, used a small blade to Picking finger tendons from the wound...
"eighteen!!!"
Between the size, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, Gu Yue's whole body convulsed, his face was terribly distorted, he bit his lip hard and couldn't get his cock out.Two tendons have been broken, and the third tendon is being torn out. The frozen scene is suddenly pierced by a military report.
"The Khitan envoy has arrived!"
Xue Yu said: "Your family ugliness should not be publicized. I don't think we need to meet here." Wu Shen said, "Since you are an envoy, it is a state affair. Xue Gong does not want to see him. I have the right to meet you." Wang Tingfu ordered: "Open the city gate!"
A few bloody Khitan horses entered slowly from the north gate, and the disheveled Khitan envoy held a scepter, passed through three checkpoints composed of officials and soldiers, and came to the bloody celebration banquet table, leaving behind a cloth bag.
A human head with open eyes rolled out of the cloth bag.Xue Yu's pupils contracted suddenly, and he staggered back a few steps: "Catch the wind!" There was an uproar in the scene, the wind passed, and the Jieduying flag shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground.
"Xue Gong, the governor of Wu." After hearing what the Khitan envoy had said, the dental officer passed on a message, "After the fall of Yuguan, General Zheng led the iron cavalry to fight a bloody battle with Khan Ke. He was defeated and would rather die than surrender. Khan respected his bravery. , and return his head."
After a suffocating silence, Xue Yu seemed disappointed, smiled and swallowed the blood and tears in his mouth.Xue Jing rushed in from the outside field: "Father!" Xue Yu blocked it, grabbed the sword from the dancer's hand, evened the crimson gauze sleeves, picked up the flag that fell on the ground, hung it in the middle of the screen, and covered it up. Live the song "Youzhou Night Drink".
"Your Majesty!" Xue Yu's hair crown fell, and his white hair flew like white catkins, "Old minister, I am ashamed of the mighty emperor's grace."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Tingfu ordered Zhe Chong to snatch Gu Yue back.Gu Yue covered his wrist, calmed down a little, looked directly at Xue Yu and said, "Xue Gong, up to now, you just lied about the military situation, and you will not punish the nine clans for the crime of treason."
Xue Yu hadn't answered yet, but Xue Shiren drew his sword first, and said word by word: "So what about rebellion?! Uncle, there are [-] garrisons in several military towns in the north. Raise your arms, and once you pass Juyongguan, you will be able to fight!" Can dominate..."
Xue Yu clenched his fists, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and he didn't reply for a long time.When the wind picked up again, the sword light flashed, and the blade was less than half an inch away from the neck... "Xue Gong!" Gu Yue yelled violently, his cheekbones bruising.
"In the third year of Xianqing, the Duke of Pingyang defeated the Goryeo army in Guiduan City and beheaded more than [-] people; in the fourth year, he defeated the Khitan in Heishan, captured the Khitan king Abgu, and worshiped General Zuo Wuwei; in the first year of Longshuo, he left the Tianshan Mountains In the conquest of Huihe, the army sang, "The general will set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, and the strong man will enter the Han Pass with a long song." For this reason, Emperor Gaozong ordered Chang'an to work on "Shen Gong Breaking the Array Music" to commemorate his achievements for thousands of years. Bing Ye Huang Huang!"
"If Mr. Xue is concerned about the reputation of his ancestors and his former troops, what should he do?" Gu Yue turned around and asked Wang Tingfu to take out the letter from the governor of Cangzhou, "General Zheng was defeated and would rather die than surrender. It's not fair, as long as the bottom line is not crossed, everything can be discussed, after all, Khitan is coming, and you are pointing to Xue Gong to be loyal."
Su An couldn't remember clearly what happened afterwards. He sat beside Zheng Qinfeng's head, staring blankly at Gu Yue's hands. He said that the banquet venue was covered with blood. Xue Shiren apologized for his death, and Xue Jing escorted Xue Yu back. Waiting for the festival...
In March, Fan Yangdao's false report of military merits was revealed by Fan Yangdao's military exploits. Yushi Zhongcheng Xue Jin committed suicide in fear of crime. One after another, he frightened to death five or six ministers who were proposing to celebrate the meritorious service.In Chang'an, the spring rain did not stop for a moment, and the water level of the Taiye Pool rose three feet.
Within a day, Li Longji received four people at Wangxiantai.Seeing Pei Yaoqing first, Pei Yaoqing said that there is a sign of severe waterlogging in Guanzhong, and the imperial court needs to prepare to transport grain. Li Longji thinks it makes sense.Erjian Zhongshu's servant, laying out a game of amber chess.Zhang Jiuling behaved elegantly, with an exquisite green child in his hand, and said in his mouth: "I dare not talk about the position of servant under the door." Li Longji said: "It's okay to talk about it. Someone has to take the top of the city." Zhang Jiuling said: " I feel that Pei Yaoqing, the Minister of Household Department, is very talented and worthy of this position." Li Longji nodded and won the chess game unceremoniously.
See Li Linfu three times.Li Linfu came with disheveled hair and plain clothes.Li Longji smiled, threw the Huangzi in his hand into the jade cup, and asked, "What are you doing, brother slave?" Li Linfu knelt down and kowtowed: "Xue Yu lied about his military achievements, my minister..." Li Longji said: "You didn't How can you be guilty of participating in it." Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, I am also a person from Yushitai, knowing that Xue Jin wanted to impeach Gu Yue, but not stopping, this is my crime." If so, Li Linfu insisted on the crime Li Longji was very moved and comforted him to go back.
At dusk, Li Longji saw Xiao Qiaofu and said, "Xue Yu has really disappointed me, and Li Yi has been away for a long time, so he should return to the court to receive credit. I want to send new people to Youzhou to pacify Khitan. Who do you think is suitable?" Xiao Qiaofu said. : "Your Majesty, General You Yulin and envoy of Longyou Jinglue Zhang Zhen, who has been guarding the frontier for a long time, is worthy of this position."
Li Longji said: "So now that the book is being produced, will there be any disturbances?" Xiao Qiaofu said: "The Ministry of Rites' Propaganda Mission is in Youzhou, and the timing is just right." Li Longji took a look at him: "Well, there is another matter, under the sect Who does Yiqing think is suitable for the position of servant?" Xiao Qiaofu said: "Your Majesty, according to seniority, it should be Han Xiu, Han Liangshi."
On that day, Zhongshu drafted the text, and it was played at the door. Li Longji dipped his pen in cinnabar and filled in the empty date. That night, the three provinces passed it, copied the case and put it on file. Li Longji marked it on the back of the document. The silk yellow paper that would not be eaten by moths was sent to the Minister of Shangshu overnight, and more than ten officials signed it, and finally became a book.
Han Xiu, served as a servant under the door; Zhang Zhen, served as the ambassador of Fanyang Jiedu and Yushi Zhongcheng, and the commander of the camp in Yingzhou, ordered to attack Khitan; Li Yi, awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and returned to Beijing to thank you; After entering the post; Xue Yu and others were convicted and dismissed from office; Zhao Zhang and others, because of the huge amount of stolen goods, were rode in the court and fled to Xiangzhou;
All the tiger flags in Liaodong were withdrawn, and a notice of ephedra was posted on the city wall of Youzhou.A merchant who sells wood and armor with his mules and horses drinks goat milk in the flag pavilion, with two white beards on his lips, chatting his teeth, and the princes of Duke Xue just left and never came back. The next day, the surname should be changed to Zhang.
Days and nights when the flag was withdrawn, each was on the go. Inspector Wu received Zhang Zhen's order to sort out the military situation and prepare to meet him. Guo Yi temporarily guarded Juyongguan to train the soldiers of the three regions.
One day, when the weather was fine, a small official came out from the east gate, walked through two rows of poplar trees with fallen leaves, and ran to the west gate, panting, and said to another small official, "Why didn't Gu Lang see you?" People? Mr. Su came to ask three times."
"Gu Lang said that he is writing the memorial for the reinstatement of the Xuanzheng mission, and he will not see anyone first." "The city was opened to welcome the spring, and Mr. Su went to fold it himself. Dozens of them were made into a big flower crown, and they withered when they disappeared. It's a pity." "I think we will offend both sides by running like this, so it's better to let them meet." "Isn't it?"
Holding the corolla in his hands, Su An walked slowly through the cigarette-filled porch. Although it was springtime and the wind was no longer cutting people, the air was still cold, mixed with the heat waves of the charcoal fire in the house, chasing and rolling, drawing visible ripples .
But before entering the door, a ball of crumpled yellow paper flew out and hit the sill: "Go!" Su An frowned slightly, bent over to pick it up.The little official lowered his head, half-sobbing: "Master, Gu Lang has been like this these days, in fact, he, his right hand, can no longer write." Su An said: "I know, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the waiter kneeling on the ground. The floor was covered with discarded yellow paper, and the paper was covered with messy writing marks.
With loose ink hair, Gu Yue sat squatting in front of the black lacquer desk, holding a fine pen tremblingly in his gauze-wrapped right hand.Su An felt uncomfortable, but smiled and said: "Eighteen, although there are no peonies in Youzhou, wild animals are very lively."
Gu Yue raised his face, and saw a delicate and unique traveling crown.The mouth of the crown is made of winter jasmine branches with leaves, and the mountain is surrounded by gorgeous and delicate flowers. When it shakes, it also drips water from the melting snow. Make a hairpin, pass through two small holes, and carry crimson flowers on the left and right.
"This is popular in the palace as soon as spring comes. The female officials weave it up and give it to the Imperial Academy to pretend to be a prince. The saint never blames it." Su An stepped on the paper and put the flower crown on Gu Yue's head. "I learned it."
"Asu, you're disrespectful, and you're missing a tie." Gu Yue put away his sloppy attitude and tidied up his hair, "If people in the capital see it, and want to impeach me for coveting the prince's position, there's no reason for that." Disrespectful."
Su An said: "During the eighteenth day, are you just messing around with these things?" Gu Yue said: "Yes, you can't be anticlimactic, I have to explain Fan Yangdao's situation clearly, at least, don't let these accounts rot in my hands. "
Su An said: "Don't worry, just take your time, hey, what do you want to eat? I see that the market in the city is very big, and there are many ingredients that I haven't seen before. I bought it..." Gu Yue gave up writing, serious Said: "Asu, I don't feel the index finger and middle finger of my right hand, and I may not be able to use chopsticks. Can you...feed me."
Su An said, "Then use your left hand."
Gu Yue clicked his tongue, and used his left hand to pinch out a white jade flower from the corolla, crushing it to pieces.Su An said: "Okay, well, those flying in the sky and those swimming in the sea, put them all on the table, and I'll feed you." Gu Yue said, "Well, I want to eat flying dragon soup." Su An said: "What is this? It sounds like It's even more taboo than Yuanyou Huaguan." Gu Yue didn't reply.
After thinking about it for a while, Su An moved to Gu Yue's side, held up the gorgeous face under the corolla, put her lips together, and pecked.Gu Yue wanted to cry.Su An said: "Eighteen, let me tell you something, I want to learn how to read."
An agreement was reached. From now on, Gu Yue will practice writing with his left hand. Starting from strokes, he will teach Su An one by one. In return, Su An will make Feilong Soup to reward Gu Yue before they go to Jiyi Prefecture to lead the state to promote the government. .

[Notice] [-]D leave note, I am going to travel on weekends, the update will start next Monday, thank you for subscribing
I know this paragraph is a bit heavy, but Suan wouldn't grow up and write "Broken Array" without them
From then on, a stone street in Zicheng seemed to become the Chu River Han boundary.Su An devoted himself to practicing Xiqin in the house, regardless of the people coming and going outside the window, and no longer went to the teaching workshop, but entrusted the army to send mutton and hot soup to Gu Yue sooner or later.He didn't want to owe Xue Jing any favors, and he was also afraid that if he saw Gu Yue again, he couldn't help but go to the state capital or Jiedu Daying to dignify people.
A long wait kicked off, and the announcement of the replacement of Jiedushi had not yet arrived. Chang'an, like an old man sleeping soundly, did not even make the slightest snoring sound.
During this period, Su An only heard about the sudden outbreak of the Northern Saibei War, but he did not expect the situation to change. When a deadly military report was sent back from the front, it was already Kaiyuan 21, the [-]th day of the first month.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, in the dead of night, a group of messenger cavalry with red pennants on their backs, wearing stars and wearing moons, dismounted at the north city gate, and shouted two earth-shattering words in a hoarse voice full of blood: "Good news!"
"Good news! Good news from Yuguan!" All of a sudden, gongs and drums sounded throughout the city, and the people opened the windows and doors, walked to the street, and saw the sky glowing with purple light, as if thousands of nian beasts had lost their way and rushed towards the world.
Su An woke up from the dream, rubbed his eyes, immediately got up and dressed, and went to the next yard to look for Wang Tingfu and Guo Yi.As soon as they entered the gate, the whole courtyard was full of torches dancing wildly, everyone's eyes were bright red, the governor Wu Shen and the governor Shi were also there, and there were traces of sleepiness that had not slept all night on their faces.
The messenger soldiers of the Jiedu camp knelt down on one knee and relayed the battle situation: "General Zheng led [-] black iron cavalry, divided into two groups, and attacked Dushan at night. mile, self-damaged less than [-]."
Guo Yi asked: "Have any captured enemy soldiers?" Bing replied: "No one has been killed." Guo Yi said: "Where is Zheng Qinfeng now?" Bing replied: "Yuguan is being repaired." After thinking for a while, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly and stopped again.
Wang Tingfu said: "What are the instructions for Jieduying?" The soldier said: "The next day, Mr. Xue hosted a banquet and invited Governor Wu to celebrate with you. He also said that Gu Xiaoshu should attend in vain." Wang Tingfu said: "Okay."
As soon as the messengers left, the report of the great victory was rushed from the official post for eight hundred miles to Chang'an.Everyone went into the room to discuss matters without rest.Su An was stunned, sent away the servants around him, and went to serve the charcoal fire, and must hear the whole story.
As soon as the door was closed, Guo Yi pulled out his sword with a stern expression: "Firstly, the Khitan people pay attention to water sources and will never camp near the arid capital mountain; Not so defenseless, three times, in the canyon, front and rear attack is death, if there are no prisoners of war, it is unbelievable."
Wu Shen hadn't eaten yet, so he just sipped hot goat's milk: "It is reasonable to say that the distance between the two places, even if you run to death, is still half an hour away." Chang Shi added: "The people in the watchtower along the way , also has not heard of this newspaper."
There are various indications that this is a false victory. Although the battle situation on the front line is not yet clear, Xue Yu has already made this move, which shows that the celebration banquet is a grand feast, not only in Youzhou, but even in Chang'an.
At this critical moment, Chang Shi left to report to Chang'an. Guo Yi decided to lead two thousand light cavalry to Yuguan to collect evidence.Su An said, the banquet venue should be set where the people can see it, Wu Shen thought about it, and immediately asked Sima to go to Jieduying to convey that there would be no banquets in Beishi.
Everyone didn't dare to get tired, and went to work separately.Su An went back to the house, sat alone by the green lantern for a while, sighed, and ordered the servants to go to the water room to fetch a large bucket of hot water.The servant was a little surprised: "My lord?" Su An said, "I want to take a bath."
The servants moved four small poplar screens to enclose a square airtight space.The hot water rushed into the bathtub, and white mist appeared. The wood was soaked in water, its texture was like satin, and its fragrance was like honey, diluting all anxiety.
Su An took off his coat, and put the white jacket inside to the screen: "Get my red jade ointment." The servant bowed his head: "Yes." Su An stepped into the hot water, and at that moment, Shu Run penetrated into his muscles and bones through the pores, With the blood rushing to his cheeks, he inhaled deeply, exhaled again, put his arms on the side of the barrel, and fell into the calm before the storm.
A month ago, the world was peaceful, with no weapons, no hatred, only endless laughter and singing and dancing. Now, we have to face repeated dangers every day, and are surrounded by invisible enemies all the time, and we cannot relax at all.
"Do you know how to get this red jade paste?" Su An closed his eyes and said to the servant, "First grind almonds into fine powder, mix with light powder and talcum powder, steam over fire, then add ice flakes, use Egg white preparation..."
After thinking about it carefully, he finally understood why the words Lin Zhenzhen taught him could make a difference.
Suddenly, Su An's ears moved, and the window paper slapped slightly. Immediately, a tall figure broke in from the outside.Su An's eyes widened, and he stood up: "Xue joins the army?" Xue Jing's voice was hoarse: "Young Master Su, listen to me." Su An said: "You talk through the screen, don't come in."
Xue Jing was quiet: "Young Master, Mr. Xue has reported victory to the imperial court years ago. Right now, the reward books have flooded Zhongshu Province. In order to calm the storm, he had to deal with Gu Yue to comfort the soldiers on the frontier. If you If you want to stop it, you have to resist the order and sit together. You are a happy person, don't meddle in your own business tomorrow, maybe you can escape."
Su An said: "How is the battle at Yuguan?" Xue Jing said: "Great victory." Su An said: "Tell me the truth." Xue Jing said: "Great victory, that's all I can say. Let me go."
Su An's Adam's apple moved, and his teeth were almost shattered.Xue Jing clenched his fists, turned his back, pulled the screen, and jumped away.Su An fell back into the water, hugged her knees, huddled herself into a ball, trembling uncontrollably in the mist.
How could he not know that before Guo Yi's news came back, even if they watched Gu Yue go to the execution ground, they still had to hold their breath.
On the Guanshan Mountain in the moon, eighty miles away from Youzhou, two thousand chain mail light cavalry marched along the sparkling Sangqian River, without unfurling flags, sounding horns, or lighting torches, like a giant python, quietly Walking through the dark blue mountains and rivers.
Guo Yi went to the stables in the state capital to take away the horse that Mrs. Zheng had ridden, and took hundreds of banners from the Jiedu camp before leading the team to set off.After that, he assigned five people to guard each sentry tower along the way to ensure the smooth flow of information.When the river forked, Ma raised his hooves, Guo Yi's pupils locked, and stopped at the nearby deserted Xiaoyu Village.
The earth and stone road in front of the village was covered with brown blood spots, and the soldiers swung their shovels, sweating profusely, trying to bury the traces.Guo Yi didn't get off his horse, and asked directly, "Who passed by?" The soldier knelt down and said tremblingly, "Zheng, General Zheng ordered us to bury the body..." Guo Yi said, "Where are we going?" The soldier said, "Juyongguan. "
There were more than [-] corpses, all of which were transported from nearby watchtowers, and their faces were hard to recognize.The lieutenant guessed that Zheng Qinfeng attacked rashly, was defeated and fled, retreated to Juyongguan, lied about the military situation, and killed the sentinel in the watchtower.Guo Yi said: "Follow."
Guo Yi first estimated the time, and then observed the shape of the dust in the distance. He saw that it was divided into two strands, one at the front and one at the back. It's even more complicated, not only the good news received by the state capital is false, even, the Khitan has sent a chasing army of thousands of horses to test Juyongguan.
The sentry towers along the way were empty, leaving only the flames swaying in the wind, licking bloody air.The lieutenant reined in his horse, gritted his teeth and said, "How could the Khitan drive straight in so long..." Guo Yi said, "Yu Pass has been lost." The lieutenant said, "What?!" Xue Yu's minions are pulled out."
After saying that, Guo Yi sent the Yaguan to put on the armor of the soldiers of the Jiedu Battalion, and rushed to Juyong Pass from the cliff path first, and reported that Xue Gong's reinforcements had arrived.Later, he ordered the deputy general to quickly collect all kinds of remaining armor pieces and arrow feathers, and send them all the way to Chang'an and Youzhou Mansion.
Ten miles to the pass, yellow dust filled the air, and the moon had become transparent.A lonely sentry tower, like a broken sword drinking blood, stands on the top of a bare cliff, and even the only pine tree that accompanies it has been split into two pieces at some unknown date or month.
Guo Yi calmed down when he heard the familiar and distant shouting not far away.He drew out his Langtou sword, looked at the Khitan team that was either due to recklessness, or came to explore the way, but did not move for a long time.The lieutenant said: "General, the dental officer has replied, everything is ready, it's time." Guo Yi said: "Okay, light the fire."
With an order, the raging flames were ignited, the sentry tower gradually melted in the dazzling light, the drums in Juyongguan were loud, the door opened, and a strong general came out under the cover of guns.Guo Yi unfurled the tiger banner of the Jiedu camp and ordered the cavalry to charge.Within two hours, Khitan was defeated due to injuries to his abdomen and back, and the leader killed himself.
At this point, the morning sun was rising, Guo Yi let go of the reins, let his mount smell the scent, and walked up to the general.Zheng Qinfeng took off his helmet, brushed away the white hair scattered on his forehead with bloody hands, and sighed: "It turns out that it is Guo Zuowei."
Guo Yi didn't wait for Zheng Qinfeng to say anything more, he waved his gun as a signal, and in an instant, two thousand cavalry changed their formation and locked Zheng Jun in place, unable to move.Zheng Qinfeng was startled: "This general is the deputy envoy of Fan Yang's Jiedu camp!" Guo Yi said: "I know."
Zheng Qinfeng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.Guo Yi said: "The entire army of [-] cavalry was wiped out. It can be seen that the strength of Tugan is not weak, and Xue Gong is careless." Zheng Qinfeng said: "If you hadn't been pressing every step of the way, how could Xue Gong get confused and attack rashly? , so far?" Guo Yi said: "Even if you fail so badly, you still try to wrap fire with paper, which is no different from rebellion." Zheng Qinfeng said: "You are wrong, Xue Gong has been loyal for generations, and will never be accused of rebellion. " Guo Yi said: "Okay, then I will borrow the head of your item."
Hand up, blade over.
The moment Zheng Qinfeng's head fell to the ground, the guards on the battlements of Juyongguan were stunned.Guo Yi wrapped up the head and hung it in front of his own horse.The lieutenant general said: "General, it's not too late. Although Xue Gong has no intention of rebelling, but the generals in the north are used to taking advantage, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes, and Khitan may come back at any time."
Guo Yi wiped the sword with his body and put it back into the sheath: "You are right, although we are giving Ketu a temporary warning, we must not take it lightly. In this way, I will stay here, and you take a few Khitan prisoners. ..."
When the light from the east crosses the city wall of Youzhou and shines on the market platform, the seven-treasure mat composed of the heads of cows, sheep, rabbits, roe deer, deer, geese, and bears has attracted crowds of people to watch.On the porcelain plate, the skins of the animals kept releasing oil, and gradually became crystal clear. Against the red ribbons dancing all over the street, it looked auspicious.
Su An sat on the carriage that participated in the celebration, her sleeves were tightly gathered.Wang Tingfu next to him was wearing the same mink fur as he was, and teased, "It's still warm in the winter clothes that Liniang gave." Su An forced a smile.
The celebration is divided into three parts, one is about poetry, about the joy of Saibei, about the achievements of frontier generals, the second is about eating, and the third is about dancing swords.At the time of Si, the soldiers of the brigade were stationed in Beishi, guarding the criss-cross streets and alleys, and the guns and guns stood full of tall pavilions.
As soon as Su An stepped onto the stage, he saw Xue Yu sitting in the main seat, discussing poetry with Xue Shiren and Zhao Zhang.He looked to the left again and saw that his seat was next to Wu Shen, Zhou Quan and Wang Tingfu.He didn't ask any questions either, and sat down after smoothing his robe.
When everyone arrived, Zhao Zhang got up and said, "Since we are in Youzhou, let's not learn how the Chang'an people line up the word order, but change the rough way and turn the wine beard. This wine commander should be in charge of General Zheng, but Yuguan is still in charge. There are a lot of things to deal with, and he can't come back, so I will be entrusted to supervise whether you violate the drinking order." Xue Yu said: "Okay."
Su An turned sideways, and said softly: "Didn't you say that Gu Lang will also come?" Wang Tingfu said: "I don't know if I'm dead or alive, so don't worry about it." Su An: "..." Wu Shen also stood up and responded: "It's better to obey than to respect."
Beside the banquet, Xie Yan and several other musicians in the teaching workshop were ordered to start playing music immediately.I also saw a small official bring a woodcut barbarian with a full upper part and a round lower part.Zhao Zhang picked up his wine beard, pointed his hand at Xue Yu, and set it on the lacquer plate: "The first wheel will not turn, Xue Gong has something to say to all the soldiers who have worked hard on the border and the bureaucrats from the Ministry of Rites who have come from afar."
Then, Xi Qin turned into Zheng Diao, and a poem hung down in the middle of the screen.Su An couldn't understand, and was about to ask Wang Tingfu, when Xue Yu raised his wine glass and said with emotion: "In the past, Duke Yan was demoted and served as governor of Youzhou. Invited to a banquet, I don’t want to, but I heard such a five-character rhythm.”
The cool wind blows the rain at night, and the bleakness moves the cold forest.
There is a banquet in the high hall, and you can forget the late heart.
In the army, it is advisable to dance with swords, and add heavy sounds.
If you don't become a frontier general, who knows how much kindness you will have!
"In the bitter cold land of northern Saibei, there is no song or music. You can only dance swords and listen to Xiqin and Jiayin. It is difficult to fully enjoy the joy of life. This sentence, 'If you don't be a border town general, who knows how much you will be grateful!', how stinging people's hearts are." However, Duke Yan is hypocritical, but this one is true. In one's heart, being able to sit in Youzhou and guard the people in the rear to live and work in peace and contentment is the greatest favor of the Supreme Being. The generals have guarded the border for decades without complaint or regret. One heart, one heart with the imperial court, one heart with the supreme..."
Xue Shiren offered a glass of wine.After Xue Yu finished drinking, tears welled up in his eyes, and he continued: "There are some people who are trying to provoke the relationship between Jieduying and the imperial court, just saying that a certain person is greedy for money and collecting things, and it makes all the soldiers feel cold. Makes sense? Now that Yuguan has won a great victory, I want these people to make amends for the heroic souls who died on the front line."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhang waved his sleeves and bowed to the audience, and said righteously: "Shang Shengming is of the same heart with Xue Gong, so that he can punish the sinner Gu Yue, so as to comfort the army!" Spin, it is directing to the direction.
On the main street where the red silk was fluttering, a line of gunmen escorted Gu Yue towards them.Su An trembled all over: "Eighteen..." Gu Yue's feet were bound with shackles, the wound on the back of his hand was black and pulpy, and the plain white sackcloth was as thin as paper in the wind.
"Xue Gong!" Zhou Quan's face was livid, and he coughed, "Bewitching words to confuse the crowd! When did Gu Xiaoshu ever do something so provocative?"
Su An gritted her teeth and couldn't help getting up, but before she could say anything, Wang Tingfu next to her grabbed her shoulder.Wang Tingfu raised his wine and said, "Zhao Jiujiu, since we want to judge the crime, why don't we go slowly and eat while we eat."
While the few people were talking, Gu Yue's originally slack eyes gradually became clear and bright because they were hunting for all the key information on the stage.
Zhao Zhangdao: "Gu Lang, as you can see, a great victory has been passed back from Yuguan, and Xue is open to God's grace to let you enjoy the blessing together." Gu Yue saluted, and sat down on the straw mat barefoot: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, just now I was talking about Mr. Zhang Yan. "Youzhou Night Drink"?"
At the same time, the Seven Treasures Banquet officially began. A charcoal hot pot was placed on each table. The maid brought seven kinds of meat, cut the meat into slices with a golden-handled knife, and grilled on the side of the pot until the skin was crispy and fragrant. It overflows and puts it into each bowl.
"Gu Lang, the name you hear the most these days is you." Xue Yu waited until everyone was full before asking Zhao Zhang to remove the remnants of the banquet and let the sword dancer come on stage, Go back, once in Mudanfang, once in Cangzhou, once in Fanyang County, you are really everywhere, and you have turned Fan Yangdao upside down."
Gu Yue put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes, and replied: "Xue Gong was joking, Fan Yang is an outstanding man, there used to be Jing Ke who assassinated Qin, and his ambition was in Yishui, 'Just leave in the car, and finally ignore it. ', now there is Chen Boyu chanting, "I don't see the ancients in the past, and I don't see the new ones in the future." Time doesn't wait for me. Compared with it, what is Gu? A scholar here should have thousands of pride in his heart, and death is not a pity. Why bother holding a song "Youzhou Night" "Drink" and look at the shadow and feel sorry for yourself?"
"It's just that during this trip, Gu heard a folk song, 'Pingguang harvests millet, scoffs at people's tents for incense, Jixian strikes iron, and Khitan horses' front hooves'. Three times the amount set by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the iron ore has been monopolized by Xue and Zheng for a long time, and private mining is not allowed. As a result, the people dare not cultivate rich land, and dare not touch rich products. , or go into exile."
Hearing this, Xie Yan stopped the bowstring, the scene was completely silent, only the sword dancer with the red robe and long belt was still dancing as a painting.
Zhao Zhang said with a smile: "As expected of being the number one scholar, he has such a powerful tongue, no wonder he almost deceived the saint." Xue Shiren said with a smile: "Unfortunately, today I am a wise man who can tell right from wrong." Zhao Zhang said: "Gu Lang, are you full?"
"Forgive Gu for not being able to swallow it." At this point, Gu Yue stood up dragging his chain, his voice was not loud enough for everyone to hear, "In six years, the grain and grass collected by the Jiedu camp equaled eleven of the national tax revenue, and the forged The amount of armaments ranks first in the fifteen realms, but they hesitate to advance and shrink back. The court wins as soon as it asks, and loses as soon as it leaves. It is so unpredictable, and it is useless to hand over the land six hundred miles north to Khitan. The virtue of the people does not have the power to expand the land. Dare I ask, how much is lost in today's great victory? It's just a drop in the bucket, and there is still a great celebration here, how can my conscience be at ease!"
The common people talked a lot, and some people sang the ballad that Gu Yue said.Xue Yu tightened his velvet robe, shivered, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That's enough, stop wasting your tongue, and you will be executed by military law for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army with evil words."
The guards stepped forward and fastened Gu Yue's wrists with handcuffs. At that moment, Su An could see clearly that the torturer pinched Gu Yue's infected right hand, and without asking a word, used a small blade to Picking finger tendons from the wound...
"eighteen!!!"
Between the size, the earth trembled and the mountains shook, Gu Yue's whole body convulsed, his face was terribly distorted, he bit his lip hard and couldn't get his cock out.Two tendons have been broken, and the third tendon is being torn out. The frozen scene is suddenly pierced by a military report.
"The Khitan envoy has arrived!"
Xue Yu said: "Your family ugliness should not be publicized. I don't think we need to meet here." Wu Shen said, "Since you are an envoy, it is a state affair. Xue Gong does not want to see him. I have the right to meet you." Wang Tingfu ordered: "Open the city gate!"
A few bloody Khitan horses entered slowly from the north gate, and the disheveled Khitan envoy held a scepter, passed through three checkpoints composed of officials and soldiers, and came to the bloody celebration banquet table, leaving behind a cloth bag.
A human head with open eyes rolled out of the cloth bag.Xue Yu's pupils contracted suddenly, and he staggered back a few steps: "Catch the wind!" There was an uproar in the scene, the wind passed, and the Jieduying flag shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground.
"Xue Gong, the governor of Wu." After hearing what the Khitan envoy had said, the dental officer passed on a message, "After the fall of Yuguan, General Zheng led the iron cavalry to fight a bloody battle with Khan Ke. He was defeated and would rather die than surrender. Khan respected his bravery. , and return his head."
After a suffocating silence, Xue Yu seemed disappointed, smiled and swallowed the blood and tears in his mouth.Xue Jing rushed in from the outside field: "Father!" Xue Yu blocked it, grabbed the sword from the dancer's hand, evened the crimson gauze sleeves, picked up the flag that fell on the ground, hung it in the middle of the screen, and covered it up. Live the song "Youzhou Night Drink".
"Your Majesty!" Xue Yu's hair crown fell, and his white hair flew like white catkins, "Old minister, I am ashamed of the mighty emperor's grace."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Tingfu ordered Zhe Chong to snatch Gu Yue back.Gu Yue covered his wrist, calmed down a little, looked directly at Xue Yu and said, "Xue Gong, up to now, you just lied about the military situation, and you will not punish the nine clans for the crime of treason."
Xue Yu hadn't answered yet, but Xue Shiren drew his sword first, and said word by word: "So what about rebellion?! Uncle, there are [-] garrisons in several military towns in the north. Raise your arms, and once you pass Juyongguan, you will be able to fight!" Can dominate..."
Xue Yu clenched his fists, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and he didn't reply for a long time.When the wind picked up again, the sword light flashed, and the blade was less than half an inch away from the neck... "Xue Gong!" Gu Yue yelled violently, his cheekbones bruising.
"In the third year of Xianqing, the Duke of Pingyang defeated the Goryeo army in Guiduan City and beheaded more than [-] people; in the fourth year, he defeated the Khitan in Heishan, captured the Khitan king Abgu, and worshiped General Zuo Wuwei; in the first year of Longshuo, he left the Tianshan Mountains In the conquest of Huihe, the army sang, "The general will set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, and the strong man will enter the Han Pass with a long song." For this reason, Emperor Gaozong ordered Chang'an to work on "Shen Gong Breaking the Array Music" to commemorate his achievements for thousands of years. Bing Ye Huang Huang!"
"If Mr. Xue is concerned about the reputation of his ancestors and his former troops, what should he do?" Gu Yue turned around and asked Wang Tingfu to take out the letter from the governor of Cangzhou, "General Zheng was defeated and would rather die than surrender. It's not fair, as long as the bottom line is not crossed, everything can be discussed, after all, Khitan is coming, and you are pointing to Xue Gong to be loyal."
Su An couldn't remember clearly what happened afterwards. He sat beside Zheng Qinfeng's head, staring blankly at Gu Yue's hands. He said that the banquet venue was covered with blood. Xue Shiren apologized for his death, and Xue Jing escorted Xue Yu back. Waiting for the festival...
In March, Fan Yangdao's false report of military merits was revealed by Fan Yangdao's military exploits. Yushi Zhongcheng Xue Jin committed suicide in fear of crime. One after another, he frightened to death five or six ministers who were proposing to celebrate the meritorious service.In Chang'an, the spring rain did not stop for a moment, and the water level of the Taiye Pool rose three feet.
Within a day, Li Longji received four people at Wangxiantai.Seeing Pei Yaoqing first, Pei Yaoqing said that there is a sign of severe waterlogging in Guanzhong, and the imperial court needs to prepare to transport grain. Li Longji thinks it makes sense.Erjian Zhongshu's servant, laying out a game of amber chess.Zhang Jiuling behaved elegantly, with an exquisite green child in his hand, and said in his mouth: "I dare not talk about the position of servant under the door." Li Longji said: "It's okay to talk about it. Someone has to take the top of the city." Zhang Jiuling said: " I feel that Pei Yaoqing, the Minister of Household Department, is very talented and worthy of this position." Li Longji nodded and won the chess game unceremoniously.
See Li Linfu three times.Li Linfu came with disheveled hair and plain clothes.Li Longji smiled, threw the Huangzi in his hand into the jade cup, and asked, "What are you doing, brother slave?" Li Linfu knelt down and kowtowed: "Xue Yu lied about his military achievements, my minister..." Li Longji said: "You didn't How can you be guilty of participating in it." Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, I am also a person from Yushitai, knowing that Xue Jin wanted to impeach Gu Yue, but not stopping, this is my crime." If so, Li Linfu insisted on the crime Li Longji was very moved and comforted him to go back.
At dusk, Li Longji saw Xiao Qiaofu and said, "Xue Yu has really disappointed me, and Li Yi has been away for a long time, so he should return to the court to receive credit. I want to send new people to Youzhou to pacify Khitan. Who do you think is suitable?" Xiao Qiaofu said. : "Your Majesty, General You Yulin and envoy of Longyou Jinglue Zhang Zhen, who has been guarding the frontier for a long time, is worthy of this position."
Li Longji said: "So now that the book is being produced, will there be any disturbances?" Xiao Qiaofu said: "The Ministry of Rites' Propaganda Mission is in Youzhou, and the timing is just right." Li Longji took a look at him: "Well, there is another matter, under the sect Who does Yiqing think is suitable for the position of servant?" Xiao Qiaofu said: "Your Majesty, according to seniority, it should be Han Xiu, Han Liangshi."
On that day, Zhongshu drafted the text, and it was played at the door. Li Longji dipped his pen in cinnabar and filled in the empty date. That night, the three provinces passed it, copied the case and put it on file. Li Longji marked it on the back of the document. The silk yellow paper that would not be eaten by moths was sent to the Minister of Shangshu overnight, and more than ten officials signed it, and finally became a book.
Han Xiu, served as a servant under the door; Zhang Zhen, served as the ambassador of Fanyang Jiedu and Yushi Zhongcheng, and the commander of the camp in Yingzhou, ordered to attack Khitan; Li Yi, awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and returned to Beijing to thank you; After entering the post; Xue Yu and others were convicted and dismissed from office; Zhao Zhang and others, because of the huge amount of stolen goods, were rode in the court and fled to Xiangzhou;
All the tiger flags in Liaodong were withdrawn, and a notice of ephedra was posted on the city wall of Youzhou.A merchant who sells wood and armor with his mules and horses drinks goat milk in the flag pavilion, with two white beards on his lips, chatting his teeth, and the princes of Duke Xue just left and never came back. The next day, the surname should be changed to Zhang.
Days and nights when the flag was withdrawn, each was on the go. Inspector Wu received Zhang Zhen's order to sort out the military situation and prepare to meet him. Guo Yi temporarily guarded Juyongguan to train the soldiers of the three regions.
One day, when the weather was fine, a small official came out from the east gate, walked through two rows of poplar trees with fallen leaves, and ran to the west gate, panting, and said to another small official, "Why didn't Gu Lang see you?" People? Mr. Su came to ask three times."
"Gu Lang said that he is writing the memorial for the reinstatement of the Xuanzheng mission, and he will not see anyone first." "The city was opened to welcome the spring, and Mr. Su went to fold it himself. Dozens of them were made into a big flower crown, and they withered when they disappeared. It's a pity." "I think we will offend both sides by running like this, so it's better to let them meet." "Isn't it?"
Holding the corolla in his hands, Su An walked slowly through the cigarette-filled porch. Although it was springtime and the wind was no longer cutting people, the air was still cold, mixed with the heat waves of the charcoal fire in the house, chasing and rolling, drawing visible ripples .
But before entering the door, a ball of crumpled yellow paper flew out and hit the sill: "Go!" Su An frowned slightly, bent over to pick it up.The little official lowered his head, half-sobbing: "Master, Gu Lang has been like this these days, in fact, he, his right hand, can no longer write." Su An said: "I know, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the waiter kneeling on the ground. The floor was covered with discarded yellow paper, and the paper was covered with messy writing marks.
With loose ink hair, Gu Yue sat squatting in front of the black lacquer desk, holding a fine pen tremblingly in his gauze-wrapped right hand.Su An felt uncomfortable, but smiled and said: "Eighteen, although there are no peonies in Youzhou, wild animals are very lively."
Gu Yue raised his face, and saw a delicate and unique traveling crown.The mouth of the crown is made of winter jasmine branches with leaves, and the mountain is surrounded by gorgeous and delicate flowers. When it shakes, it also drips water from the melting snow. Make a hairpin, pass through two small holes, and carry crimson flowers on the left and right.
"This is popular in the palace as soon as spring comes. The female officials weave it up and give it to the Imperial Academy to pretend to be a prince. The saint never blames it." Su An stepped on the paper and put the flower crown on Gu Yue's head. "I learned it."
"Asu, you're disrespectful, and you're missing a tie." Gu Yue put away his sloppy attitude and tidied up his hair, "If people in the capital see it, and want to impeach me for coveting the prince's position, there's no reason for that." Disrespectful."
Su An said: "During the eighteenth day, are you just messing around with these things?" Gu Yue said: "Yes, you can't be anticlimactic, I have to explain Fan Yangdao's situation clearly, at least, don't let these accounts rot in my hands. "
Su An said: "Don't worry, just take your time, hey, what do you want to eat? I see that the market in the city is very big, and there are many ingredients that I haven't seen before. I bought it..." Gu Yue gave up writing, serious Said: "Asu, I don't feel the index finger and middle finger of my right hand, and I may not be able to use chopsticks. Can you...feed me."
Su An said, "Then use your left hand."
Gu Yue clicked his tongue, and used his left hand to pinch out a white jade flower from the corolla, crushing it to pieces.Su An said: "Okay, well, those flying in the sky and those swimming in the sea, put them all on the table, and I'll feed you." Gu Yue said, "Well, I want to eat flying dragon soup." Su An said: "What is this? It sounds like It's even more taboo than Yuanyou Huaguan." Gu Yue didn't reply.
After thinking about it for a while, Su An moved to Gu Yue's side, held up the gorgeous face under the corolla, put her lips together, and pecked.Gu Yue wanted to cry.Su An said: "Eighteen, let me tell you something, I want to learn how to read."
An agreement was reached. From now on, Gu Yue will practice writing with his left hand. Starting from strokes, he will teach Su An one by one. In return, Su An will make Feilong Soup to reward Gu Yue before they go to Jiyi Prefecture to lead the state to promote the government. .
