Tang Xuan

It was the first time he confronted Cong Canglanhu head-on, and Lang Huai lost.The Tang Dynasty lost its troops and lost its generals, so it had to retreat to Xunzhou, and only used cavalry to contain it, guarding against Tubo raids, and also guarding against the increase of troops in Suiye City and Shule.

Cong Canglanhu stripped Lin Xian and the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion who died in battle, and hung their corpses on the city wall.The Tibetans took pleasure in this, and within half a month, under the sun, most of the remains of the soldiers turned into mummies.

Every time the soldiers of the Gushan camp saw it, apart from intense humiliation, they were filled with hatred.Fortunately, Bo Zipei was strict in governing the army, so nothing went wrong.

Lang Huai has been burying his head in topographic maps and Shule city maps these days, thinking hard about strategies.She walked out of the grief and indignation of Lin Xian's death in battle, and she became more calm and self-possessed, easily refusing to reveal anything.Mingda feels distressed about this, but the bad guys have a lot of affairs, and she can only let go of it slowly, hoping that she will soon return to her previous sassy and clear mind.

The only one who made progress was Ronson.He was incorporated into the Gushan camp, led the generals, commanded [-] elite cavalry, and often appeared outside Shule City.What's more, Long Erxun deliberately wins over the old tribe of Tubo. Now everyone in Shule City knows that Rinmo Zanpu's eldest grandson, Long Erxun, is in the Tang army camp and wants to avenge his parents with Cong Canglanhu.

After Cong Canglanhu executed several of his subordinates who showed their doubts by thunder, the Tubo people finally kept silent and dared not say too much about it.But it has become an indisputable fact that he killed his father and brother, and no one doubts it anymore.

In the half month of summer, the will of Chang'an City was sent to Xunzhou City together with family letters.It's a pity that although Li Yu's reward has arrived, Lin Xian has already died in battle, and the pleading note may not have been sent to Chang'an.The censor who delivered the letter was left behind in Kucha, and according to Li Yu's instructions, he became an accountant in the army, which was considered an explanation.Otherwise, if he were to go to the battlefield as a scholar, he might not be able to survive at all.

Lang Huai opened the family letter, and Webster just said some common and interesting things. Lang Huai relaxed his mind a little, but it didn't take long before he saw the end of the letter.

"My mother was seventy-three years old, and now she passed away suddenly. She has chosen an auspicious time to join her father's acupoints. Don't miss her when she is pregnant. Although there are reasons for sadness, and the country's affairs are difficult, you should relieve your grief and try to add food."

Lang Huai didn't say a word, Ming Da also saw something wrong from her abnormal movement.

"Grandma, she's gone." Lang Huai muttered, "I didn't expect to leave Chang'an, but it's a farewell." She twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling extremely ugly, put the letter on the case, got up and left the room.

Mingda sighed, saw that there was still in the envelope, and took it out, but it was Lang Heng's handwriting.

"Brother like meeting: Grandmother died in a dream, there is mother working hard inside, younger brother is running around inside and outside, unable to do good, but also try to do it, brother can be at ease.

Since the death of my loving father, after several changes, I realized that people exist in the world and have their own responsibilities.There are not as many younger brothers as elder brothers, and I would also like to imitate elder brothers with sincerity.The world is so big that I don't know the geometry.Although my brother is weak, here is my wish.Now that the elder brother is away in battle, the younger brother should guard the family and keep the business. In the hope that the elder brother will return home soon, the younger brother should seek peace of mind to travel the world. "

Mingda nodded, thinking that her little uncle finally had the courage of a grown man, turned over the paper and looked at it again, her eyes, which were squinted because of being funny, calmed down.

"My elder brother and his sister-in-law have been married for many years. This time the husband and wife go and return together. My younger brother is extremely envious. Marriage is a major event. According to the words of the parents and the matchmaker, my younger brother wishes to have one heart and never leave each other. If it is not my wish, I would rather be alone for life. However, younger brother What the mother thinks, the mother reprimands it, but keeps it silently in her heart.

Miss Shang went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be my Lang family. She was trapped in the filial piety and could not be replaced. She hated her. "

Putting down the letter, Mingda thought for a while before getting up with surprise.

After chasing out of the city, he saw Lang Huai dressed in commoner clothes, his figure hidden in the yellow sand, and Mingda's flustered heart immediately stabilized.With a light toe, the horse knew its master's intentions, and sped up to catch up.

Lang Huai turned around, looked at her in surprise and said, "It's so hot, why did you come out?"

She jumped down when the horse came close, Lang Huai stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a frown, "What happened?"

"You didn't read Heng'er's family letter just now." Mingda hesitated for a moment, but still told his guess, and continued: "With Heng'er's stubborn temper, I'm afraid my mother will know about this. "

Lang Huai wiped the beads of sweat off Ming Da's forehead with distress, and sighed: "Mother knows clearly, it must be so. But she will definitely not neglect the second brother because of this."

"Do you think what Heng Er said is really good?" Ming Da finally expressed her worry, and said, "Sister Shang has such a character, I'm afraid she still doesn't know what Heng Er is thinking. If they are in love..."

"If they are in love with each other, Si, what will you do?" Lang Huai interrupted her, and asked softly with some uneasiness.

"Naturally try to find a way to explain to mother, and then talk to Peigong well." Mingda frowned, and finally realized why Lang Huai asked this question.She suddenly blushed with anger, and spat: "There are so many things in the world, we are not inferior to others, and so is Sister Heng'er. Ah Huai, we...you..."

Lang Huai leaned forward, couldn't help looking at her, and joked, "What about us? What about me?"

Only then did Ming Da realize that he had been fooled, and smashed Lang Huai's shoulder hard, and lost all strength at the moment of the touch.The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Mingda knew that she was afraid that she was too worried and deliberately did it, so she couldn't help being happy and grateful.

Returning hand in hand, Ming Da leaned in her arms and sighed: "If I hadn't experienced a lot with you, how would I know what I know, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I would be happy? Heng'er is so tempted, I am afraid that this life will be difficult. But In the past, Sister Shang treated him like Pei Gong, and clearly only regarded him as a younger brother, where is the love between men and women?"

When the two of them said this, they both sighed.Lang Huai said: "Sister Shang is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir. It's good that Heng'er didn't show her recklessness. We can't do anything about this matter. We can only write a letter to comfort him."

"I think that Shang Yan has always been considerate to Sister Shang, even though he is here, he always talks about Miss." Mingda whispered: "Sister Shang is really so indifferent to love?"

Lang Huai thought for a while and said: "Sister Shang suffered from family rebellion when she was young. During those years, she lost her father and mother, and she devoted herself to supporting her family. In the past few years, she has lived a carefree life and rehabilitated her uncle. The title of duke of the country, and she won the second place in the imperial examination, she can be regarded as an account to her parents."

"Sister Shang refuses to return to the clan, because she wants to be free now. She is not the elder sister of Qi'er, and even if she does not marry, she will have no influence on Peigong." Mingda said, "I don't know if Shang What kind of person my sister will look up to, and I don't know what kind of person can be worthy of her."

Lang Huai's arms were slightly tight, and he said with a long smile: "Sister Shang is such a romantic person, she has her own fate. We really shouldn't think about these things now."

Ever since Shule lost the first battle, Lang Huai hadn't been this happy for a long time.Mingda turned his face sideways and said in surprise, "Have you figured out a way?"

"Half of thinking, I have to deduce and deduce. I will post a post later and invite them to drink. Are you free?" Lang Huai saw that her eyes were blue, so he couldn't help kissing her, and said softly: "It's urgent Delay the process and pick a few capable ones to help you. From now on, Lan Jun will no longer belong to the Lang family, so you can use her as much as possible."

"Yeah." Ming Da Anxin closed his eyes, and said after a long while, "I'm thinking of chestnut cake."

"When I return to Chang'an in the future, I will learn how to make it for you." Lang Huai slowed down his horse, for fear of jolting the cute girl in his arms.

Squandering flowers gradually become attractive, so Asakusa can have no horseshoes.

In early summer, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River grows and warblers fly, which is a good weather for outings.

When Fang Lie got up this day, Shang Zixuan used the new tea of ​​the season to calm down his anger, remembering that in Shule City, Lang Huai felt that something was wrong because of a song about folding willows, and that's how he was now, and he felt relieved for a while.She only brought an attendant with her, so she left the place where she was staying and went to the outskirts of Suzhou City.

This time when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, Shang Zixuan's purpose was to completely gather Lang's firm for Lang Huai after Lang Shixin's death.She has already negotiated with Wei Shi, after Pingxi, no matter what, Lang Huai can't enter again.Moreover, the exposure of Lang's nails has already aroused the suspicion of the courtiers, and Mingda is a bad handsome man, and it has also achieved initial results. If it is not handled properly, Li Yu will eventually become jealous.Once the emperor became afraid, Lang could not help himself how to deal with himself.

Wei's new letter made Shang Zixuan's confidence in Jiangnan double.Li Yu read Fang Shiquan's notes and highly praised his advice. He made people copy [-] copies and distributed them to officials of various ministries and the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy. He praised him. There is no one candidate for the host.

Even if there were conservative people among the courtiers, they were stopped by Xie Bi.In just a few days, Xie Bi was the leader, and many courtiers joined forces to request an order to set up a Tonghai Division to manage all maritime affairs.

Li Yu said that he was good, and he discussed with Prime Minister Xie Bi in the Xuanzheng Hall for seven days, and finally came up with an agreement to set up Tonghai Division, the chief officer was the third-rank Shaoqing, and Fang Shiquan was in charge.Si Zhengzheng, a member of the fifth grade, set up Tonghai Si Yamen on Jiangnan Road, and appointed Si Zheng to preside over it.The rest of the positions were properly arranged, and the courtiers praised them all for a while.

With the establishment of the new department, Lang's firm naturally did not want to miss such a good opportunity.Shang Zixuan had already bought a lot of woodlands for the construction of merchant ships.She doesn't have to catch up with the first business, but maritime merchants rely on ships. If there are no good ships, how can they sail the waves?

She spent half a day in the outskirts of the woods, and chatted with some carpenters hired to see the woods about shipbuilding, and she was in a better mood.When I came back at night, I received another secret letter from Nail.

After she took it apart and looked at it, her smile deepened.Shangguan Yi was appointed by Li Yu as one of the three directors of the Tonghai Division to take charge of the affairs of the Suzhou Tonghai Division's yamen, so things were delayed, and he would leave for the south three days after receiving the order.Calculating the time, I'm afraid it will only take half a month.

I don't know how tall that bastard is now.Shang Zixuan felt that everything went well for more than half a year, and even the maids around him also smiled.

After another half ten days, I really got Shangguan Yi's letter of permission to come to Su.The bookboy reporting the news had clean eyes and clear speech.

"My lord said that the government cannot be abolished for private reasons. First, I will meet Fang Shaoqing and give you a new official uniform with official seals, and then I will come to you."

Shang Zixuan responded with a smile, took the silver taels as a reward, and thought to himself, after all, he grows up and knows the truth.

In the evening, Shangguan Yi came over sweating, still wearing Sizheng's poinsettia robe, but the crown on his head was a little crooked.

"Sister!" Shangguan Yi was both happy and sad, and she slowed down before approaching.

"Yi'er has grown taller!" Shang Zixuan graciously supported Shangguan Yi who was about to kneel down, looked at his face, nodded with tears in his eyes, and said, "Okay...Okay! First you are the Sizheng, then you are the Duke. Knowing not to show off, this kind of heart is really good."

"Aunt Wei came to the house specially to teach me a lot. You have not been in Chang'an for the past six months. Aunt Wei has helped me a lot. Qi'er has always been very grateful." Shangguan Yi stood up straight and said with a smile: "Sister, how are you doing? Do you eat well here? Do you sleep soundly? Can things go well?"

"It's like a cannonball, I don't know which sentence to answer first." Shang Zixuan pulled him to sit by the desk, he didn't care about dinner for a while, he just looked at him carefully.

The two of them grew up together since childhood, and Shang Zixuan was raised by his sister and mother, and the relationship between siblings is naturally closer and stronger than that of ordinary people's families.At this time, they talked about their farewell to each other, and the maids couldn't help crying, and just stood silently, lest they would be disturbed.
