20. Party robbery and murder

Princess Yiyang was revenge on Zhang Yanshang, hated him for provoking the relationship between the emperor and the prince, and hated that Princess Gao's death was inseparable from Zhang's inseparable, so she let the children in the five yards in the palace fight:

In front of Zhang's house, the children of Wufang, who were wearing yellow shirts, each holding wooden sticks. Although they did not hit Zhang Hongjing, they beat the slaves of the Zhang family who came out to protect the young master and rolled all over the ground. Then the children of Wufang surrounded the courtyard wall and the rich gate of Zhang's house, yelling, "Is the old thief still dead? Is it necessary to go to the Dog Jiling to be willing to go?"

Then the domineering Yiyang made even more harsh words, "Let him go to the emperor to complain, my house will occupy and demolish the Zhang house's family temple in the future and convert it into a stable."

This time, Zhang Yanshang was so angry that he vomited blood on the bed. In a trance, he seemed to see the ghost of Princess Gao outside the curtain again, holding a gust of cold wind, constantly scolding himself, wanting to demand his life.

Now Zhang Yanshang collapsed completely and died within a few days.

His son Zhang Hongjing cried and entered the Daming Palace, knelt down in front of the emperor, and plucked up the courage to tell Princess Yiyang's arrogance and asked the emperor to uphold justice.

When the emperor heard that Zhang Yanshang had died, he also remembered that he had helped me, so he sent a central official to scold Yiyang and demanded that Yiyang not be allowed to seize the Zhang family's residence. The matter was settled, and then he had to posthumously give Zhang Yanshang, give him a posthumous title, and follow a set of procedures.

After Zhang Yanshang died, he scared Ma Sui to death. He quickly remembered Gao Yue's letter, and asked his confidant servant to send a lot of gold, and did not dare to provoke Yiyang, so he went to bribe Princess Lingxu.

Princess Lingxu was enthusiastic and wrote back to Ma Sui that she would be at ease and that there would be no problem.

Then Lingxu entered the palace and told the emperor that this was the case.

The emperor indeed summoned Ma Sui and said, "You have suffered in Xifan, because I don't pay attention to it. As for some mistakes, how can you compare to the great contributions you made for the country in the past? Immediately, you and Li Sheng, I am going to let your portraits go to Lingyan Pavilion."

Go up to Lingyan Pavilion, go up to Lingyan Pavilion.

This means you have passed the test!

Although the following years will be like Li Sheng, they will live at home until they die.

But Ma Sui still had the luck of surviving the disaster.

Soon Ma Sui formally submitted a letter to the emperor for bones, and the emperor also approved it happily and praised Ma Sui's spirit of retreating bravely. Then he gave Ma Sui and Li Sheng a group of female musicians, and painted their appearance in Lingyan Pavilion.

In the past, Ma Sui was in the military camp, listening to the whistling wind and sand outside, cutting the mutton with a sharp dagger, eating and drinking, and being very generous.

Now Ma Sui is in his own A-League in Anyifang. Every time he eats, he still has to "show music" - let the female musicians given by the emperor play songs and dances. If there is no music one day, these female musicians will directly report to the children of the City Guards in the shops, and the City Guards will report to the emperor, and the emperor will send the senior official to the A-League and ask Ma Sui why he does not play music.

In the first chapter, Ma Sui's face was full of joy, and he chewed slowly, and then watched the enchanting female musicians dancing slowly in front of him. What made him even more happy was that this must be done every day...

After Ma Sui gave up his military power and retreated to the second line, Princess Lingxu became famous. All officials in the capital knew that this person kept his word in front of the emperor, and the emperor was even placed in the eyes and doors in the market outside the Daming Palace. For a moment, the car in front of Princess Lingxu’s Taoist temple was covered with clouds, and Lingxu retreated all the gifts he received. However, in some cases, she still promised the victim that he would influence the emperor.

Once this is the case, the political status of Lingxu and Yiyang has also been improved.

After Dou Shen came to Chang'an City, he hugged his clan's father and cried bitterly. Not only did he get any capital on his mission to Xifan, but he was also disabled for life. However, the emperor was also interested. He asked the Zhongshu Sanshu San to issue a document, but he still granted Dou Shen the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple as promised. Since then, Dou Shen hated Gao Yue deeply and decided to hit the stone with an egg. Dou Shen's concubine Shangqing tried to persuade him many times, asking the uncle and nephew to calm down and slowly take it.

Gao Yue was not idle either. After the Tang and Tibet exchanged prisoners successfully, he struck while the iron was hot and asked Weilun to go to Shanzhou to meet Shang Qixin'er. He boasted that he respected the most was the queen of Xibo, and Shang Qixin'er. "Although the two countries are enemies, we can be friends."

At the same time, Gao Yue generously agreed that Tang and Tibet could cease fire, and Shuiluochuan could turn into "idle fields" when they went to Huizhou. Neither side could build a city or stop the war. Then the Tang family was in Neiyuan, Xiban was in Qingshui, and could also set up mutual markets through Anrong Pass to communicate with each other, and engage in trade. Of course, Gao Yue said that all this was based on my respect for Shang Qixin'er.

Gao Yue's conditions made Shang Qi very excited. He didn't believe Gao Yue's so-called "friendship theory". This man who had killed so many prisoners of war with him would be scolded to death. However, if Gao Yue was willing to classify the Shuiluo area as a "idle field", then this could also be a merit for him, right?

So Shang Qixin'er quickly reported to Zanpu, saying that the negotiations with the Tang family were very smooth, and presented the list of 1,400 prisoners in detail to give praise to the political enemy Shang and add rotten medicine to the violent enemy.

In the end, Zanpu could only bear the pain and admitted that the Tang army had all restored the passes of Longshan-Liupanshan, and built a fortification on the front line of Weiyuan, Huating, Liupanguan, Guyuan (Sandcastle), Shimen Fort, Baicaoyu and Feng'an, and only hoped that the Tang army's tentacles would no longer penetrate deep into Shuiluochuan.

But this was just Gao Yue's delaying strategy. Not only did he instigate the internal struggle between Xifan and had no intention of advancing eastward, he also took the opportunity to consolidate the existing mountain defense line and isolate the power of Xifan from Shuofang and Dangxiang Fan in Weibei. The next step is to completely solve the Dangxiang problem.

As for Shuiluochuan, sooner or later, Gao Yue would still cut this piece of meat off from Xifan. If the war or not, the initiative would not be in Xifan's hands, but in my Tang's hands.

In the past two months, Gao Yue also nominally investigated the previous incident of Dangxiang robbing and killing in Gyeongju.

The original appearance of the incident is as follows:

The governor of the Tianzhu Army, who was enthroned by the Tang family, was Tuoba Shouji of Pingxia. After Shouji was ambushed by the Dangxiang Department of the six prefectures in Weibei (Siqibang and Sibo Dayo, father and son), the Tang family passed the position of the governor to Shouji's son Chaohui, but secretly sold weapons, armor and battle flags to the white horses in Qingzhou, killing the two Dangxiang tribes of Niu, instigating them to fight for Youzhou north, and let Dongshan, Six Prefectures, Lishi and Pingxia tribes fight endlessly. At the beginning of this year, the Tang family sent ten soldiers to escort batches of tea and silk and "gifted" to the Dangxiang Department of Pingxia. The team went directly to Qingzhou, preparing to leave Qinggangling, and then sent to Yuzhou north of Baiyushan.

With so much wealth, it would be very strange to have ten soldiers escorted.

What's even more strange is that Wu Xianfu, the governor of Bining, and Lu Weiming, the governor of Qingzhou, did not send more personnel within their jurisdiction.

As a result, when the team reached Fangqu, they were suddenly attacked by two other local Dangxiang tribes, Yeli tribes and the Zerg tribes. How could these barbarians understand the principle of "the emperor's envoys are inviolable"? Three of ten soldiers were killed, seven were plundered as slaves, and all tea and silk were stolen.
