Three hundred and seventieth chapters brave to face the cold moraine (2)
Chapter 375: Brave to the Han Di (2)
Li Jingxuan woke up. This was a fatal letter.
He immediately said, "Where is your faith?"
"The chief manager, here."
"Who has seen it?"
"No." In fact, three or four guards have seen it now, but who dares to admit it?
"That's good, give it to me."
"Here."
Li Jingxuan watched them fold the letter, immediately took it over, stuffed it into his arms, and asked, "You go and check Zhang Guidong's whereabouts."
"Here," the guards slandered in their hearts. What else could they do? They all fell into the hands of Lun Qinling. However, Li Jingxuan ordered that he had to ask.
When the guard left, Li Jingxuan took out the letter and read it again. There was nothing on the letter. Instead, every sentence was a kind word, "You are the lord of the Tang Dynasty, where the richness of the east, and I am the lord of the west, and I am the lord of the poorest place in the west. Since Songzan, the two countries have been friendly. Princess Wencheng did not hesitate to surrender to the Qu style and descended to the Tubo style. This is the blessing of the Khan of Heaven.
Regarding Qinling's literary and military strategy, they are all the heroes among people, but after all, they are Tubo people, and their articles are not as good as those of the Central Plains literati. However, they are well written, but they are not rhyme, but they are extremely humble in words. Then I continued to write, but why did His Majesty the Tang Dynasty never let us go? The land of Hehuang in Qinghai is the richest area of Qinghai, and was given to your country to govern. To the west of Chiling, the water flow is narrow and there are mostly snow-capped mountains and Gobi, and there are quicksand covering the land, and people and horses cannot cross it. Only in Dafa River and Chihai, there are green grass for herders to live in. However, this is the case, the terrain is low and swamps are dense. Why do you and I not use Chiling River as the boundary and govern it with one stroke? The two countries are peaceful and friendly, and then talk about the marriage in Songzan?
This is impossible. After the Battle of Dafeichuan, Tubo sent an envoy to temporarily borrow the Tuyuhun Chihai herders from the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi did not agree. Now it is not borrowing, but officially enclosing Nan Jiuqu, Chihai, Dafeichuan and Haibei from the treaty. Is it impossible for Li Zhi to agree? As long as he agrees, there will be no reason to send troops again.
But this is not the reason why Li Jingxuan fainted. It is because of the following words. Qin Ling was ignorant and lucky to find out that Your Majesty had mistakenly used people. Your Highness Yong was a little talented and knowledgeable, and his literature could not govern the country, and his martial arts could not stabilize the country. However, his heart was vicious and rare since ancient times. Your Majesty also used a greedy eunuch as the military commander, so that Your Highness Yong would not take care of the national crisis and wanted to kill the prince of your country. He deceived your generals several times and repeatedly, abandoned Jianzhai and ignored the dangerous city, forced the prince to rescue him, and was trapped in a heavy siege.
The prince is what I respect. There are only heroes in the world. Only the prince of your country, Hong, is still in Qinling. The rest are all reckless men or stingy. Even though they are defeated by me, I won the victory. Therefore, I sent someone to capture this eunuch in the army, interrogate the whole story, and learn the truth, and want to report it to Your Majesty.
Prince Hongwu will kill the soldiers who sacrificed his country. However, he will not want this hero to be heard by the hands of a few villains. Killing is respect, and raising an injustice is also respect. I hope that Your Majesty will make trouble for Prince Hong. Otherwise, this confession will be posted overnight on the walls of all the prefectures of your country.
The following is the confession written by Zhang Guidong.
As for Li Zhi once a night or once a month, Qinling did not let Zhang Guidong write boredly. He only wrote about how he received Li Xian’s three thousand gold, how he used various eyes to squeeze Liu Shenli and Wang Xiaojie. And how he deliberately said a few words when Li Jingxuan was hesitant, which made Li Jingxuan finally strengthen his idea of sending troops.
And when he came, how did Li Zhi ask him to secretly supervise the movements of the Qinghai army and how did he write secret reports back to Chang'an from time to time?
This is enough.
The prince's life and death are uncertain now, and his reputation is not only in the army, but also in the people. Things are open to the public. If it is light, Li Xian will be dealt with heavily, and the country has no master. There is a lord, Li Zhi, but the emperor's health is less than a year. God knows that there will be a cold one day, and he will see Li Shimin going? Could it be that Li Xian, who has a lower talent, be the crown prince?
This is light, not only Li Xian, but Li Zhi is also responsible for this matter. In serious cases, the people may have a fierce reaction. Not to mention that it is impossible, just look at the actions of Heichi Changzhi and others. Not only that, once it is reported, the three armies of Qinghai will immediately mutiny. Anyway, anything can happen.
The entire Tang Dynasty will be placed on the cauldron and let the fire be grilled!
Of course, if you write this way, Li Jingxuan's responsibility will become lighter. But that's not the case? Zhang Guidong was in Shanzhou, not in Daba Dou Valley. How could such a big living person be kidnapped by Lun Qinling? Even the emperor was humiliated and coerced by a great speech from Tubo.
Li Jingxuan's sins are even greater.
This is not the case. Now Li Jingxuan has lost control of the three armies. To put it bluntly, if Qinling is interested in kidnapping Li Jingxuan, he may succeed. How many guards are loyal to protect him? But can this reason be expressed?
After a while, the guards came back and brought Zhang Guidong's guards.
After reporting the whole story, he received the money given by Li Xian and a piece of jewelry and jade from Lun Qinling, and transported it to Chang'an together. The guards didn't know the money given by Lun Qinling. They didn't know the money given by Li Xian, but they only knew that the eunuch made a fortune. They couldn't remember it. They thought it was the emperor's confidant and had money in his hands, which was normal. In fact, there was such a thing, and the harem expenses were also in charge. Look at Wu Zetian who wanted to cultivate the Buddha, and saved so many years of money, and only squeezed out 20,000 yuan. Li Zhi wanted to build Shangyang Palace, but he also begged Wei Hongji to allocate funds from Si Nongqing.
But the guards didn't know and couldn't remember it, and saw Zhang Guidong taking advantage of his fortune, marrying a wife and taking a fake. This was normal in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Liang was killed because he adopted five hundred fakes and did too much. But as a popular eunuch, adopting one or two fakes is a very common phenomenon. For example, the Jin Eunuch used one of his nephews to make his fake, and he had no roots. He spent money to buy a few wives and concubines and raise a few fakes, and had some fantasies in his heart.
Then, outside Shanzhou City, he bought a farm. The prince came to Qinghai and built several castles and the area around Chiling Jiuqu. There might be constant wars, but Shanzhou City to Longzhi County and other areas became a safe rear.
Zhang Guidong often went out of the city, watching his "wife" and this fake boy for one or two days. He was missing for several days, but after hearing that Zhang Guidong had also participated in the instigation of Liu Shenli and others to send troops, he wanted to go up and punch him a few times. Therefore, the protection was very relaxed. After disappearing, he thought he had gone to this farm again, and no one asked about it. Until today, he found out that he might encounter an unexpected accident.
We can't blame the guards, it's not just the guards. In order to avoid this villain's trouble, Li Jingxuan did not call Zhang Guidong to come over in the past few days of discussion.
"You have caused me a lot." Li Jingxuan almost wanted to vomit blood.
The guards sent only to check how he disappeared, why didn't he hear it? In fact, when he saw the confession, he had already recognized that it was Zhang Guidong's handwriting. It was not this that people didn't know, but Li Jingxuan also planned to use this matter to mix up the water and reduce his responsibility. But if he could know this matter, he could not be publicized to the people. Even if Zhang Guidong was willing to say it, he would climb onto Li Xian, and not involve Li Zhi. Afterwards, he would immediately use various measures to cover up the truth.
But when it fell into Lun Qinling's hands, there was no doubt that he would benefit from this matter and tear a bloody hole in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"On Qinling, On Qinling!" Li Jingxuan coughed repeatedly, his face pale. He not only underestimated this person in military affairs, but also underestimated this person in politics.
All my heart was colder, even colder than the current Poluo Zhen Valley. It was casual. The emperor wanted to kill and cut him, but he left his fate. He sent this letter and confession to Chang'an without stopping.
...
In Chang'an City, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were also frowning.
Finally, he received the first letter from Li Jingxuan. When he saw the Battle of Dafeichuan, Wu Zetian, although his personality was decisive, still couldn't help but cry: "I'm a miserable son."
I remembered the benefits. Although I was disobedient from time to time, I was also tactful and gave myself cotton and movable type to my husband. I could also hold my hands and say something in my heart from time to time, and even lift myself up like a child.
Li Zhi said: "I am wrong, too. Who proposed to ask me to send an army supervisor?"
"Zhang Da'an."
"Zhang Da'an, okay. I didn't expect that I would pick him up as prime minister in person, and even I finally calculated it."
Li Zhi walked over the hall in anger. After a while, he saw Wu Zetian still crying and said, "Empress, don't cry. Isn't this a killing out of the siege? It's better than the situation at the time. Now I can summon all the prime ministers to discuss how to save them. Oh, by the way, Pei Xingjian has foresight and can let him recover the battle in Qinghai." Now I think of Pei Xingjian.
"Your Majesty, it's so cold that Chang'an is starting to get colder. On the road to the south, many areas are frost and snowy in midsummer, people eat ice, and horses eat snow. How can Hong'er survive this day?" Wu Zetian just cried.
"Oh, ah, auspicious people will have their own celestial phenomena."
"Your Majesty, I don't care. Hong'er is so miserable. She was born since childhood and suffered in the temple. She didn't eat well and dressed well, and she fell into a root cause. She had just been a few years ago and was hit by a great disaster."
"Oh, I, I..."
Wu Zetian sobbed constantly, and Li Zhi had to comfort him, "Empress, please summon Pei Xingjian to see him immediately, or if he goes to Qinghai, he can come up with a way to rescue Hong'er. Crying is not a problem." At this time, he didn't worry about how Pei Xingjian went to Qinghai to make trouble, so he would take his son back first.
"Then you send the order immediately."
"Okay, I will send an order immediately." While sending the order, I wiped my tears with a handkerchief for Wu Zetian.
Pei Xingjian was summoned to come in later.
After giving the ceremony, Li Zhi said, "What happened in Qinghai."
Pei Xingjian shook his body for a moment and immediately asked, "How about your Highness?"
Li Zhi frowned. This was what he had always been worried about. This son had a strong ability to win over ministers, from ministers in the court to soldiers in Qinghai. Did you see that? Tens of thousands of soldiers in Qinghai seemed to be crazy. But immediately a bitterness surged into his heart. Although his son's ability made him afraid, as an emperor, he was not at the level of his father? If he ascended the throne, the revival of the Tang Dynasty was just around the corner, and it was even better than himself.
"This is the battle report in Qinghai during this period. Because the situation is unclear, I have been suppressing it and it has not been made public. Look."
Pei Xingjian opened the battle reports one by one. After reading them, the whole process was clear in his heart. He was very worried, but he tried hard to calm himself down and asked, "Your Majesty, please call me here to read these battle reports, what is the will?"
"I want to order you to go to Qinghai immediately to clean up the mess, and in addition, you must rescue the prince no matter what."
