19. Baici meets Hongdu

Bo Gu also knew that their Shatuo people were originally a small vassal state loyal to the Tang family, but later attached to Xifan. The situation developed to this point and was a time to make a new decision.

At this time, Gao Yue clearly stated a few precautions for Bo Gu and asked him to return to tell the clan leader Zhu XieJianzhong:

First, Shatuo had previously rebelled against the Tang Dynasty in Anxi and Beiting. The Yin could report to the emperor in front of the emperor and requested pardon, but Shatuo also needed to treat each other sincerely;

Second, now the market markets of military cities in the Yuanzhou area continue to open, Shatuo exchanges cattle and horses for salt, grain and tea from the Tang family;

Third, Shatuo shall not invade the cities of Yuanzhou, nor shall he plunder the caravans, soldiers and the people. If there is any violation, I will send troops to wipe out you immediately;

Fourthly, the Tang family built any military city at the ridge of Liupan Mountain and the boundary east. Shatuo must not interfere or report to Xifan;

Fifth, Xifan Chou was in the Xiji League in the past and killed innocent officials of our Tang Dynasty, and hundreds of soldiers were killed. Now their corpses are still in Huizhou, such as Shatuo Chief Zhu Xie and Tuyuhun Chief Murong. If they can restrain their remains and return them to us, they can report to the emperor in front of the emperor and regard them as a merit for you;

Sixth, when the time is ripe, the Shatuo tribe can wait for an opportunity, and the Tang army guarantees support.

Bogu kowtowed and said, "Two, three and five, now the Shatu tribe can do it."

Gao Yue nodded and said that the Yin promised to enter the Yanying Palace for you, and the emperor and the prime minister decided on this matter.

So Bo Gu was overjoyed and immediately said goodbye to Fengxiang Mansion and go back to report. Gao Yue personally sent him to the city gate, broke down a willow branch, and delivered it to him, promising: "If there is less than half a year, there will be an agreement."

Then Gao Yue indeed sent a letter to the capital. A few days later, the emperor quickly sent the central government to rush along the post station, asking him to leave the military mansion and come to Chang'an City to "ask questions". The topic was Dangxiang and Shatuo!

Gao Yue changed his itinerary for this: he wanted to go to the capital first, and then took Luogu Road to Xingyuan Mansion to bring his family to Fengxiang to show his determination to guard the western border.

He left the military political affairs to Zhang Jingze, Fuyu Huai and Xue Baijing and other Fengxiang old subordinates (when Gao Yue replaced Duan Xiushi to judge the Fengxiang Mansion, the original military generals and bureaucrats remained unchanged, making people's hearts stable), and he himself pointed out Guo Zaizhen, Cai Fengyuan, and Ming Huaiyi, and went back to the middle road and headed towards Chang'an City.

Not long after, Gao Yue came to Xianyang and saw a towering temple between the palace servants and the old city. It looked like it had just been completed. It was hidden in the woods with the words "Wu'an Jun Temple" written on it.

"It seems that this ancestral hall has been completed." Gao Yuegang thought so, and saw a group of children in yellow clothes and maids standing by the roadside. After seeing his long flags, they bowed and said that Lingxu and Yiyang were all in the courtyard behind the ancestral hall. When he heard that the Great Yin came to Beijing, he specially set up a private banquet there to invite him.

Gao Yue then dismounted and carried the whip behind him. The soldiers were all covered with armor, holding various flags and weapons in their hands, and came to the Wu'an Jun Temple.

After the Huating victory, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi became famous in the west of Beijing. The story of showing spirits and protecting the country was passed down by word of mouth. Princess Lingxu was also behind the scenes and set up a special day to hold a festival. People who came here to burn incense and paper include the people around, and the soldiers stationed in the garrison. There were countless people, which were very lively and formed a large-scale market.

Because today is not a festival, the ancestral hall looks quiet.

The soldiers lined up and stood outside the ancestral hall. Gao Yue first stepped into the sacrifice hall and saw the stele pavilions on both sides, written by Grand Master Yan Zhenqing himself. Now Bai Qi, who was also granted the public consultation, was granted a visit to the Wu Temple.

After passing through the Xian Hall, what appeared before Gao Yue was a cross-shaped "Yuzhu Flying Beam". Two stone bridges intersected in the shape of cross-shaped parts, separated from the four sides of the fish maw. The various trees planted in the plant are reflected in the water, and the scenery is beautiful.

At the end of the flying beam is Bai Qi's sacrifice hall, which is very large. On the stone platform in front of the hall, a copper furnace burning in silk stands.

"Please go to the corner gate." Several yellow-shirted children bowed carefully to guide them.

So Gao Yue avoided the sacrificial hall and walked along the corner gate next to the sacrificial hall to the courtyard behind the sacrificial hall.

The backyard is more like a Taoist temple, with an elegant environment and like the Lingxu Temple in the capital, many peach trees have been planted. Now, in the season of anger, a few of them have fallen on Gao Yue's head.

There were actually many horses parked in the stables under the wall, shaking their tails, and neighing from time to time.

Just when Gao Yue stood there and felt strange, Yiyang turned out of the corridor in full dress and laughed at Gao Yue, "It's just right, and a guest has arrived before."

After saying that, Yiyang did not avoid suspicion, walked and laughed, leading Gao Yue through the corridor.

It seems that this person's newlywed life must be very happy.

"Civilization?" When Gao Yue came to the backyard, he saw Princess Lingxu wearing a feathered suit, wearing a lotus crown, sitting on the stone pier, and sitting at the bottom of the house. The middle one was thin and thin, wearing a red-robed suit, but was Zheng Feng. Gao Yue saw it at first sight and was very surprised.

When Gao Yue looked west, he saw four women sitting in the corridor of the west wing.

Before he could ask questions in confusion, with the voice "Gaolang, are you okay?" Xue Yaoying and Yuan Ningzhen walked out of the east corridor again and stood beside Lingxu.

"What kind of situation is this..." Gao Yue suddenly pondered.

Lingxu smiled, turned the whisk backwards, and pointed at Zheng Zi and others with the handle, "They are about to enter Shu."

Gao Yue understood that the group of people immediately wanted to represent the court, connect with Wei Gao of Xichuan, and start fighting for Yunnan, and Zheng Zhi was also among them.

Then Lingxu pointed at Xue Yaoying and said that the master heard that the ancestral hall had been successful, so he came to enjoy the show and happened to meet Gao Lang.

Finally, there are four women under the west corridor, "This is the Song sister who was presented to the central palace by Zhao Yijun. The eldest sister is Ruohua, the second sister is Ruozhao, and the fourth sister is Ruoxian. The last one is..."

As a result, before Lingxu could tell the girl's identity, the young lady stared at Gao Yue and immediately bowed down, "My name is Xue Tao, and the name is Hongdu."

Now it was Gao Yue's turn to be surprised.

At this time, Xue Tao was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was not as good as Yun Shao, Yun He, Lingxu and Zhihui, but his eyes were very lively and eager. First, he was walking in the crowd with handsome Zheng Zi, and then when Gao Yue walked into the yard, he caught Gao Yue Busong, and there was a gorgeous color swaying in his pupils.

The three sisters of the Song family, Ruohua, bowed to Gao Yue politely, and there was no expression on his face, and he was very indifferent.

And the second sister Ruozhao looks the most beautiful and has a temperament, so she hurriedly bowed when she saw Gao Yue.

As for the fourth sister Ruoxian, her eyes were full of innocence and enthusiasm. Because she was the youngest and was in love, Gao Yue glanced at her eyes as soon as she came in, but she was not as bold and enthusiastic as Xue Tao. She just lowered her head and looked around from time to time.

At this time, a middle-aged official in green clothes hurriedly spoke, scolding Xue Tao, angrily saying, "What kind of discipline is my daughter?" Then he bowed to Gao Yue, calling his name Xue Yun. He originally worked in the Dali Temple in the capital, but now he also ordered the delegation to enter Shu with his mission. Xue Tao was his daughter and led it on the way together. It was extremely naughty and had no lessons, which made Gao Jie laugh.

Alas, it seems that Xue Yun is also depressed and has to go on a mission to Yunnan to facilitate his promotion.
