Chapter 53: Remembering and not remembering
Update time: 2012-04-20
"Master, I want to go back to Yanshan."
Li Xian stood at the door of Daxi Changru's room and hesitated for a long time and said it. Although he knew that Daxi Changru would definitely not agree, he had to fight for it. The feeling of restlessness was very annoying. He always felt that something was about to happen but he couldn't touch it. Logically speaking, Zhang Zhongjian and Tiefutu people hid in the vast Yanshan Mountains. Even if the court dispatched 20,000 troops, they could not find them in the mountains.
"No"
Putting down the military books in his hand, Daxi Changru rejected Li Xian in a plain tone: "It is too dangerous to go back to Yanshan to pass through the battlefield between the Xi people and the Khitan people."
“If you think you have too much time…”
Daxi Changru threw the book to Li Xian and said, "Take it and read it, and then write a summary of at least 10,000 words."
Li Xian frowned and said, "Is this an offer to make an appointment? Let's talk about the price first."
Daxi Changru Dao: "Okay, I'll run around the mountain with one word."
Li Xian sat down on the chair and said with a bitter face: "I'll go back with light clothes and simplicity. It should be no problem to avoid the battlefield of the Xi people. The big dark horse runs fast and cannot catch up with me even if it is discovered. It should be no problem for me to rush back within a month. You know, Grandpa is in Yanshan."
Daxi Changru shook his head and said, "When I left Yuyang, Zhang Zhongjian and I had already made an appointment to go back next year after the first month and have already decided to meet. If you go back rashly, even if you can avoid the Xi people, you will not be able to find him."
Li Xian continued to fight for it: "I understand Tiefutu, and I will definitely find it if others can't find it!"
Daxi Changru said slowly: "Two roads, either defeat me or give up."
Li Xian sighed: "Are you bullying the child?"
Daxi Changru actually nodded: "It's nothing if you are willing to think so, you can."
Li Xian got up and walked out the door.
"Don't try to run away secretly, I have ordered that no matter who leaves the camp without permission, he will be killed."
Li Xian stopped and secretly gestured his middle finger.
...
Youzhou
Sitting on a wide seat covered with tiger skin, Luo Yi, the general of the Youzhou Tiger Ben Lang, put down the letter in his hand, squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought. After spending 100,000 yuan, he finally settled down with Pei Ju, the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate. He was finally relieved. The movements in the court were always paid attention to him, and he gave many gifts to win over some people, but he had never contacted the power high-level officials. Rather than paying attention to the court, he was paying attention to the incomprehensible Emperor. Being able to take the line with Pei Ju finally made him feel relieved.
The nobles who came from the clans in the court have always looked down on him. The reason is very simple. He did not come from a noble family. The poor families gradually became the position of Lang General by virtue of their bravery and martial arts. Although he held the most elite cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, he had never really entered the power center. If the nobles in the court had koi with distinct territories in a large pond, then a person from a poor family, such as Luo Yi, was a black and ugly loach that suddenly appeared in the pond. Even if he could not threaten the koi, those koi would still reject him and suppress him.
Fortunately, those big guys still like it after all.
Pei Ju loves money, so he will give money. After a total of more than 100,000 yuan, Yu Shiji loves beauty. Luo Yi has collected more than a dozen women of all ethnic groups in the past two years and sent them quietly. Nayan Su Wei values gifts, Luo Yi sends people to greet him every year according to the etiquette of his younger brothers. Even people like Li Yuan, Longyou, who is obviously losing his power and bad luck, Luo Yi has been determined to make friends with him and never neglected. Li Yuan, who is a Duke of the Kingdom, was appointed as a fifth-rank official to go to Huaiyuan Town to grain. When Luo Yi passed by Zhuo County, he also sent someone to send a pallet of gold as a gift. Knowing that there were not many people around Li Yuan, he specially transferred a team of fifty veterans to serve as guards for the Li Mansion.
The reason why he is so cautious and seemingly humble is actually to hide the increasingly uncontrollable ambition in his heart.
He spent so much money and did so many things in fact, it was just for one thing, that is, to ensure his stable status in Youzhou. When the Emperor forgotten him, someone must remind His Majesty that there was a loyal Hu Ben Lang General far away in Youzhou. When the Emperor remembered him, sometimes he asked for help and had to let His Majesty forget him temporarily. This is not a contradiction, it depends on when His Majesty forgot him and when he remembered him.
Emperor Daye Yang Guang is a person with a very contradictory personality. No one can deceive him when he is wise. But when he is confused, no one can stop him.
Based on the summary of past and later generations, Li Xian once boldly speculated that Yang Guang was a person with a split personality.
The so-called opportunity to remember and forget is entirely dependent on those big figures in the court. For example, Luo Yi wrote several letters to the court to increase the supplies of the Tiger Cavalry, all of which were gone as if they were sinking into the sea. He had to send someone to send a birthday gift of 50,000 yuan to Pei Ju, the court in the second month increased the supplies of the Youzhou Army by 50,000 yuan, and Luo Yi was able to train another light armored infantry on the basis of maintaining 5,000 armored iron cavalry.
This time, he gave Pei Ju and Yu Shiji a generous gift, and Luo Yi's intention was to make His Majesty the Emperor forget him for the time being.
A while ago, the court issued an order. Children of good families from all over the country would bring their own weapons, armor and horses to Zhuo County to gather before February next year. Hundreds of thousands of government troops had also begun to be mobilized, and the conquest of Liaodong was getting closer and closer. In Luo Yi's view, this was a war of defeat but not victory, so he was unwilling to go to Liaodong and did not want the foundation he had accumulated over the years to burn in Liaodong. If His Majesty the Emperor issued a whim to let his Tiger Cavalry fight for Liaodong as the vanguard, he could only do that in advance. But now the time is not right, and he really has no courage to do it. So he must make His Majesty the Emperor forget himself, at least before the war begins next year.
Although Pei Ju is a big hole that cannot be filled and cannot be filled for much money, there is no doubt that Luo Yi is right to take this line with him.
In the grand palace of Daxing City, Emperor Yang Guang, who had just returned from Zhuo County in early May, leaned on the dragon chaise and frowned and reviewed the memorials. The memorials piled like hills on the table gave him a headache. He even felt helplessly wondered whether he was really old because he hated reviewing the memorials. He remembered clearly that it took him no time to review the same number of memorials when he ascended the throne, and there would never be any mistakes. But now he was sad to find that he had lost patience after reading more than a dozen memorials.
At that time, he seemed to have endless energy to use his energy. After reviewing the memorials, he even had the mood to go to the people to walk around and listen to what the people on the streets were saying. But now, he no longer remembers how long it has been since he left the palace in vain to experience people's livelihood. Every time he went on a tour, he seemed to be following many people around him. Of course, he felt that the more followers, the more pompous he had, the more he seemed to be in the grandeur of the Heavenly Family.
In February, he formally issued an order in Zhuo County to conquer Goguryeo on the grounds that Gao Yuan was unjust, and ordered the good sons of the world to gather in Zhuo County before February next year. He imagined that he would lead his army again to expand territory for the Sui Dynasty next year and was excited for a long time, but after he came back, he buried his head in the trivial affairs of the government again, which made him more and more irritable!
So when he saw the dense small words on the memorial becoming more and more blurred, he was angry and presented the memorial in his hand to ask for the addition of Huaiyuan garrison to hit the table.
"I asked him to give Huaiyuan Town grain because I felt that he had this ability. He was actually embarrassed to ask me for soldiers? Yuwen Shu, Yu Zhongwen, the General of the Right Guard, and Mai Tiebang, the General of the Left Guard, was how far away from Huaiyuan Town? The three generals, a hundred thousand troops standing behind him, still have the face to ask me for soldiers?!"
He didn't feel relieved after falling the memorial, so he picked it up and threw it away: "There is no good thing for Li! What does he want soldiers to do? Do you think I don't know?!"
The Huangmen Minister carefully picked up the memorial, remembering the weight of the gift that Li Yuan sent a few days ago, shook his head gently, and said to himself, Mr. Tang, it’s not that I won’t help you, Your Majesty is angry, I’ll save you. As for the increase in troops, let’s not talk about it. Oh... Who said your surname is Li?
"Your Majesty... Isn't it worth it to be so angry because of an incompetent stingy official?"
Pei Ju leaned over and placed the memorial on a corner of the table, looked at Yang Guang's face and said softly: "Actually, Mr. Tang is just worried. He has to be careful when he is guarding thousands of kilograms of food and grass in Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan Town is close to the Liaohe River. If the soldiers of Goguryeo are brave, they may dare to come and offend Tianwei. In my opinion, Mr. Tang is still loyal to His Majesty over the years."
Yang Guang was slightly stunned and said irritatedly: "Are you saying that I deliberately made things difficult for him?"
Pei Ju hurriedly lowered his head and said, "How can I have this idea? Your Majesty is clear, and I just keep your Majesty's teachings in mind at all times."
Yang Guang said: "My teachings? Then tell me, what did I teach you? If I can't tell you, I will strip your official skin and send it away from home!"
Seeing that His Majesty was already calm, Pei Ju pretended to be bold and outspoken and loyal, saying, "Your Majesty said that we should discuss things based on things, not people based on things."
Yang Guang was stunned and then cursed in anger: "You slander, can't you speak more tactfully?"
Pei Ju knew it was done and hurriedly said in a panic: "If you are a slander, you are also a slanted person."
Yang Guang shook his head, then picked up Li Yuan’s memorial and looked at it. After hesitating for a while, hesitated and said, “Let Yu Zhongwen’s soldiers take the lead, after all, that’s all my food!”
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Pei Ju lowered his head.
Yang Guang glared at him and said, "I'm afraid you were still scolding me for being a fool in your heart just now!"
Pei Ju raised his head and said seriously: "If Your Majesty is a foolish monarch, his ministers can only be treacherous ministers."
Yang Guang burst out laughing and scolded: "I will let you, a treacherous minister, come out in a while!"
He paused and asked, "Didn't you just say that you should just talk about the matter? Then I ask you, who is the general in the first battle? How about Luo Yi?"
Pei Ju thought for a while and said, "All the generals of the twelve guards can do it, but only the Hu Ben Lang General Luo Yi cannot."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty... Only the Tiger Ben Jingjia guards the important land of Youzhou can do everything without worries. The barbarians on the grassland are not trustworthy. With Luo Yi here, the wolf cubs of Asuna's family cannot pass the North Great Wall."
Yang Guang thought about it and then said relievedly: "Then let Luo Yi take good care of my family... In fact, I just want to see if you are a real treacherous minister. If you follow my wishes, I will definitely cut you!"
He smiled comfortably, with a childlike pride on his face.
(I finally have a whole day to write. At the current speed, it should be possible to write one chapter at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock. I will write the Ming Dynasty much slower than the Emperor's ancestors. The Emperor's ancestors have the glory of being a five-day daily update. I think I can write three chapters in the Ming Dynasty. I think I am a model worker... I can give you a favorite red ticket?)
