Chapter 292 Busy and restless
ness
Just a few days after Tang Cheng returned from Tuduo's tribe to build a new camp by the Jiehe River, the result of the battle between the So tribe and the Shali Radical Radical was already passed on.
Suoping ordered a full-scale truce against Tuduo in the evening. At the banquet in the evening, he had already mobilized people to join forces outside the Grand Governor's Office of Raole, which had already had 10,000 troops to encircle Shali's 10,000 cavalry, whose speed was so fast that it did not reserve any reaction time for Shali.
This is a typical sneak attack.
At this time, the 10,000 Shali tribe had not completely taken the Tuduo team into the caps. The main force of the Shali tribe was also sieging the shaky Pingcuo team with all their might. Against this background, Shali was not very prepared for the sudden start of war with Shali tribes. Although the 10,000 Shali tribe army outside the Grand Governor's Office had maintained enough vigilance against the opposite people from the first day of its stationing here, the first thing that was to attack them was not the enemy from the opposite side. Until the night when the 10,000 Shali tribes were officially launched, the Shali tribe's tent was already shouting and killing sounds shook the sky, and the responsible Shali general was still habitually looking at the opposite side first.
A peaceful place!
With intentional calculations and unintentionality, they fought a dangerous night attack. One side attacked, but the other side was still in their dream without any defense. The result was naturally self-evident. When the two thousand people from the Chingsuo team initially rushed in with a horse with a hoof, the Shali team in a mess finally shouted the soldiers who were big and small to fight against the soldiers who tried to gather the flies in the chaos, but at this moment, the Chingsuo team's second wave of three thousand people rushed to the tide again. The second wave of the Chingsuo cavalry horses had not been wrapped around. The sound of thunder-like horse hoofs was already surging like a huge tide.
Two thousand cavalrymen in the camp rushed back and forth, dispersing the slightly gathered sergeant Sally again; the sound of horse hooves rolling outside was getting closer and closer. Just then, the 10,000 cavalrymen opposite suddenly burst into lights, and in the light of the Mingmeng torch, teams of cavalrymen swarmed out and rushed straight towards this side. At this point, the already messy Sali camp completely broke through the edge of collapse.
The subsequent war turned into a one-sided massacre. Two groups of 5,000 people launched a night attack to rush back and forth, which was really an extremely efficient meat grinder. The ten thousand people outside the Grand Governor's Office were monitored outside, hunting out the fish that had escaped. Even when the Salile general tried his best to gather a team of nearly 2,000 people and rushed out of the siege, in a hurry, he was trying his best to meet the main force, but he bumped into another five thousand guilds hiding nearly twenty miles away.
This sneak attack of 20,000 people was achieved perfect results. In addition to the negligible three or two kittens, the Shali team's 10,000 people were completely damaged.
Before the war was completely over, a sergeant of soldiers had already entered the Raole Grand Governor's Office, which had been covered with dust for several months. These people were transporting all the bronze drums, jade artifacts, and even the paved floor felts in the Governor's Office in an orderly manner.
The next morning, after the war was over, the 20,000 escort troops gathered out 5,000 people, with the artifacts of the Grand Governor's Office and thousands of warlike horses, retreated to the location of the tent, and the remaining 15,000 people roared towards the northeast after a brief rest.
Almost as Tang Cheng got the result of this sneak attack, news of the Shali tribe and Pingcuo's ceasefire also came.
The Pingcuo tribe, who escaped by chance in the shaking situation, was like the Tuduo tribe. As soon as the Shali tribe stopped, they couldn't wait to move closer to Tang Cheng with the broken tribe.
For a time, with the southern grassland of Domo where Tang Cheng was located, Tuxian, Domo and the three remnants of Pingcuo leaned together at the extreme density that the grassland could accommodate, which brought great comfort and sense of security to the three remnants of the frightened bird.
At this time, the grassland was unowned, and Tang Cheng, as the only "official body" of the Sima of the Raole Grand Governor's Office, started to take care of the subsequent things of the three remnants after the battle. That is, now, Tang Chengcai, who had been in the grassland for several months, finally deserved the respect and power that Sima deserves.
The three ministries were appeased, coordinated the allocation of territory in this special period, and made every effort to open up all trade embargoes, collecting straw and other things that livestock can eat in Longmen and even the entire Guizhou... Trivial matters were connected one by one, and it seemed that there was never a time to end; bickering, quarrel, and the small friction between the three ministries was inevitable every day. Tang Cheng was so busy that he was so busy that he could sleep for three hours a day. It was a great pleasure to be happy to be able to sleep for three hours a day.
Fortunately, the three ministries suffered a lot of losses in both population and livestock during the previous wars. The long winter on the grassland also made the animals still need to escape from the winter in the circle, which reduced the nomadic area requirements to the minimum. It also made Tang Cheng finally settle the situation with the cooperation of the clan leaders.
After the civil affairs were completed, Tang Cheng finally returned to his own affairs. The three remnants of the remnants were gathered under the banner of Sima, and Tang Cheng naturally became the leader of the remnants of the remnants of the remnants.
However, what made Tu Duomeng and others feel at ease was that Tang Cheng had no intention of splitting the three tribal troops, nor did he interfere with the personnel appointment and removal within the three tribal troops. Apart from inserting a group of military law officials, he, the leader of the coalition army, seemed to be just a military decoration that he did not do anything.
The battle between Suo and Shali on the Raole Grassland was officially started, and Tang Cheng was busy, while Chang'an, a capital thousands of miles away, was also quite uneasy at this time.
In the study of the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, Li Longji, who was wearing light and casual clothes, was having a secret conversation with Gao Lishi.
Because he was a neutral and meritorious person in the palace transformation of Anle and deposed Empress Wei, Gao Lishi was promoted to a position of internal affairs, and his status in the palace can also be regarded as prominent. Now many foreign ministers must deliberately make friends when they see him. However, when facing Li Longji, Gao Lishi's attitude did not change at all, and he still maintained his previous respect. "After the princess entered the palace, she met His Majesty in the Daming Palace. The princess said the old sayings again and advised him to be an easy-to-Captain. As for the reason, the old sayings were still the same. On the one hand, there was a eldest son and no reason to establish a three sons of the concubine; on the other hand, it was said that Your Highness was still young and could not bear the heavy trust of the country."
Since his father ascended the throne, his former allies and blood-related aunts have been planning this matter. I have heard a lot of similar news. Although the topic itself is really closely related to his fate, Li Longji did not have a panic expression at all, but just listened quietly.
"Your Majesty still pondered and said nothing about the old story of the princess." This is also an old routine. Li Longji knew that his father's temperament was actually in line with his deceased grandfather, "Emperor Gaozong". Not only was he simple in nature and didn't like to be troublesome, but he was also weak in nature. His contemplation and not speaking was already a good expression of attitude.
However, Gao Lishi's subsequent words changed Li Longji's face, which had been calm just now. "Later, Your Majesty may not be able to withstand the princess's persuasion, so he ordered people to invite King Song and several prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall over."
King of Song Li Chengqi was Li Longji's eldest brother. He was both a legitimate and eldest son. As early as when his grandmother Wu clan was in power, his father was told to be promoted to the crown prince when he first ascended the throne. Moreover, this elder brother has been cautious for many years, and he is filial and kind to the superiors and subordinates. His name as a virtuous king has been passed down in the capital for more than one day. Although he resigned from the position of crown prince at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, as long as he has not succeeded to the throne for a day in this battle of imperial power, who can guarantee that the elder brother will not change his mind, let alone that he has the strong support of Princess Taiping in this matter, "Oh! What do you say about the elder brother?"
Seeing that Li Longji could still maintain stability at such a critical moment, Gao Lishi was sure that his choice would not be wrong. The person in front of him was the one who truly had the dignity of the emperor. Compared with him, King Song was too cowardly and too careful. Perhaps for King Song, who had personally experienced the murder of the Li clan by Queen of Martial Arts, this throne was not only not worthy of attention, but instead put the sword hanging above his head.
Gao Lishi's guess was not revealed at all. He sat sideways and continued in a respectful tone: "His Royal Highness Song's reply is still the same as that day: 'The country is safe, and if there is danger, it will be a success first'. Although there is a princess next to him, he said that the court and the world are stable, and His Royal Highness Song did not intend to move. Later, he even bowed to His Majesty's knees and cried and asked His Majesty not to move the East Palace, as the brothers and sisters."
Li Longji's frown stretched out his eyebrows, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed with a sigh: "Brother's heart is not enough!"
"The King of Song is indeed virtuous." Gao Lishi dared not interrupt too much except for retelling the scene of the day. After a brief statement, he said: "Although five of the seven-kilometer-song-kilometer-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-jin-chief-song-jin-jin-chief-song-jin-jin-chief-song-jin-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-jin-chief-song-
At this point, Li Longji was finally completely relieved, "Wei Anshi and Song Guangping are not powerful but have the character of prime ministers. As for the other five..." After looking at Gao Lishi, he finally said what he wanted to say, "It's just a lackey under Taiping's sect. The clown is not worth showing off."
Gao Lishi suddenly felt happy. No matter how unbearable the five people were, they were the prime ministers of the current dynasty who were only the emperor in their post. As the prince of the Eastern Palace, he commented on the prime minister appointed by his father himself, which was inappropriate in any case. If this was spread, not to mention anything else, at least one "unfilial" hat would be firm and firm. Li Sanlang was able to say such words in front of him, obviously because he officially regarded him as his confidant.
After making friends with him for so long, how could Gao Lishi not be happy? It’s just that if both parties can keep a close eye on this matter, it’s really inconvenient to put it on the table and spread it out. So although Gao Lishi was so excited, his face was still firmly controlled. “What the Highness said is that although my husband has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he has heard that no matter whether in the temples and prisons of various imperial cities or in the city, there are people who compare these five ministers to the five infamous people under the tyrant of Wu Sansi, the former dynasty, and called them “Five Dogs”. The prime minister has achieved this role, and these five people are actually ‘unprecedented and no one to come’.”
Li Long basically liked to listen to this, and he heard Gao Lishi's comments on the five people, which caused famous quotes by Chen Zi'ang, a Jinshi of the previous dynasty, and it also caused the most appropriate results. There was a burst of joyful laughter at the moment.
After laughing, Li Longji asked in a relaxed tone: "I won't talk about these five dogs anymore! How has my father eaten and lived in the palace recently?"
"My husband once heard an old man in the former Prime Minister An Guogong's mansion say in the inner palace that since we returned to the great treasure, our daily life seems to be worse than before, especially since the court has been in trouble since Mr. Kong and others returned to Beijing, and everyone's daily life is inevitably affected." Speaking of this, Gao Lishi pondered for a while, "A few days ago, my husband also heard the eunuchs serving in the Tai Chi Palace showing off his learning, saying that everyone has not been in good mood after going to court recently. He has complained several times that the court was bored and trivial, and it is impossible to even put on the pen in peace."
As a son of man, Li Longji naturally knew that his father had hobbies in calligraphy and philology, and his calligraphy was especially good at cursive and official scripts. The inscriptions of the bronze bell in the inner city of Chang'an City and the inscriptions of the great-grandmother Yang Shi Shunling were both from the father's hand, but these two hobbies were very time-consuming and had to have a good mood to enjoy.
These news had been heard from other sources, and it was confirmed by Gao Lishi that although Li Longji had a deep worry on his face, he had already smiled in his heart.
No one knows his son better than his father. Similarly, his son is also indispensable to his father. After twenty years, he has already figured out that his father's temperament is actually the most simple and impatient. Even in the process of reading history books many times, compared with the emperors of the previous dynasty, Li Longji once gave his father a very "disrespectful" evaluation in his heart. As for the royal family who came from a weak family affection, his father is really a good father and good brother. Because he not only values love, but also has a very good temper.
Gentle; but like his grandfather and uncle, he was really not a good emperor. As for the reason, it was also too affectionate, too gentle and too simple, so simple that no emperor should even have the enthusiasm for power. Looking through history books, he has never seen an emperor who took the initiative to give up the throne twice like his father? Although this "active" combined with the situation at that time was really forced, this alone is enough to show the father's attitude towards power.
Thinking of this, Li Longji was full of sighs over the power inheritance of the Li Tang royal family for decades. Since the great-grandfather Emperor Taizong, his grandfather was weak in character. In addition, his body was sick and his power was controlled by his grandmother. He once changed the Tang to Zhou. Although the country was supported, his uncle Zhongzong, who succeeded the throne, was also the same. In the end, the power was controlled by the Empress Wei Shuren of the day. When he arrived at his father, his father was as weak as his uncle, which made the power in the world be controlled by his aunt. Five of the seven ministers in the Political Affairs Hall came from her disciples. After reading all history books, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the aunt is still the first person to be a princess and has the power to this point!
Thinking of this, Li Longji's face suddenly showed a bitter and sarcastic smile.
Seeing that Li Longji was in deep thought, Gao Lishi, who was using the excuse of errands, was inconvenient to keep the news after the news was passed. After bowing, he went out quietly.
If it were as usual, Li Longji would have to send Gao Lishi to the door, but he really didn't want to move at this moment, so he waved his hand and didn't get up, allowing his thoughts to continue to follow the path just now.
It's time to end! When this thought popped up, Li Longji's hand that was playing with Wen Yu's paper-shaving suddenly tightened, and then a hot thought jumped out uncontrollably: "With his father's simple and unrequited personality, will he abdicate again when he can't endure it?"
