Although Turkic Vijay Khan ordered people to offer tribute to propose marriage, the Tubo offensive did not end. Just as Li Longji was planning to bring his ministers back to Chang'an, the eastern capital that had been in the middle of more than two years, military emergency reports came from the west again.

Tubo Zanpu and Tuqi Shi Khan Sulu's troops surrounded Anxi Town

However, a few days later, news came from Anxi Town. Zhao Yizhen, deputy guru of Anxi, led his army to defeat the coalition forces. The court had just breathed a sigh of relief, but another even greater bad news suddenly came.

Wang Jun, the governor of Longyou, Hexi, was defeated and killed

Wang Jun was highly valued by Li Longji because of his outstanding military achievements. In addition to being the chief censor, his elderly father was favored by Li Longji and resigned. His wife Xia was also named the wife of Wuwei County because of his military achievements. This incredible news was initially absurd, but as various details came, it was said that Wang Jun was escorted by his old enemy, Huihe clan son, who was escorted and ambushed by his old enemy, the son of the Uighur clan, and some even said that he was escorting his body and even planned to take his body to Tubo. Finally, because the troops in Liangzhou were chasing him, he left his body and fled in a hurry. The court had to believe it.

Not only did the court come to the tribes in Hexi, but the Tiel tribes such as Uighur Qi reacted unpredictably, and some even applauded, but the people of Helong were shocked. Under this situation, Li Longji's itinerary from Luoyang to Chang'an was naturally particularly tightened.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter. Song Jing and Zhang, who had retired, said no. Although Du Shiyi had not attended the meeting, he stayed in Zichen Hall for a whole day and was so hungry that a Zhongshuo Si, who was so hungry that a man with his chest against his back, sighed and said, "A large number of officials were verbally quarreled and quarreled for the whole time. Finally, he chose the general to command the army. However, the Shuofang Jieduan Xiao Song was appointed as the governor of Longyou Jieduan of Hexi, and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and the Minister of War. The vacant Shuofang Zhen appointed Xin'an Wang Li Wei, the general of the left Jinwu Guard, as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jieduan, and the chief censor.

There are many different opinions on whether this can resist the Tubo army. However, at dusk that day, Du Shiyi went to see the Kaifu Yi and the third officer Song Jing, who had been away for many years. When asked about this, Song Jing said happily: "Xiao Qiaofu was in Shuofang and inherited the old system of Wang Jun and strictly governed the army. When he went to Longyou, Hexi, he should be able to stabilize the overall situation. Although King Xin'an never went out, he also saw the rules and regulations when he was in charge of the Zuo Jinwu Guard. In fact, the loss of troops in Liangzhou this time was slight, but because Wang Jun was defeated and killed, people's hearts were fluctuating. As long as Xiao Qiaofu could stabilize the people's hearts, Tubo's soldiers and horses were not afraid.

Before, Zhang Shuozhi returned to Beijing, I went to see him. He sighed to me. He once advised His Majesty to give more kindness to Tubo and not send troops again and again because Tubo was rude. You should know that the gains of using troops in one day are not as great as the losses caused by Tubo's years of harassment. Moreover, even if you want to use troops, Tubo dare not commit another victory, and if you fight a small victory like Wang Jun, you will be proud to ask for pursuit. It is simply a great joy to be acclaimed."

Although Du Shiyi didn't like Zhang Shuo, he had to admire Zhang Shuo's courage and strategy when he was divided into two groups in Bingzhou and pacifying Tiele. Moreover, he had to admire Zhang Shuo's courage and strategy when dismissing hundreds of thousands of troops on the frontier, and using the soldiers who were usually just used to farm as farmers, recruiting troops to fight. This strategic idea was also correct. Hearing that Song Jing admired Xiao Song and Li Wei's combination so much, Zhang Shuo had such an analysis of Wang Jun's defeat, he naturally nodded. At this time, Song Jing spoke again.

"But if the King of Wang had not seen that His Majesty was... seeking military merits and therefore he would like to his preferences, he could have taken the opportunity to make great contributions. This series of great battles could have been avoided."

Song Jing originally wanted to stop halfway, but thinking about Du Shiyi was always someone who could keep the secret, he finally finished saying this. After sitting down, he sighed: "The treasury has been increasing in recent years, but Fengshan has spent a lot of money, and the wars in the border areas have been huge. In addition, from last year to this year, floods have occurred frequently in Hedong and Hebei, and water control is expensive. If you were not for the tea administration, you would have made up for the treasury, this time the Turks sought to trade horses and asked for tea, which saved a lot of silk again. I am afraid that even the solid foundation of the treasury would be insufficient. Fortunately, it would be a good idea."

Du Shiyi originally regarded Song Jing as his teacher, and faced his praise, he could not help but be humble. But these humble words were interrupted by Song Jing's raising his hand: "You don't have to say these polite words to me. Whether it is political achievements or credit, it is judged by others. What's even more rare is that it can save the urgent Han Xiu, who is difficult to deal with. He has praised you for a few words to me before, which shows that you are really down-to-earth. Whether I or Zhang Shuozhi, you have all been a servant of the Secretariat. You can be a ruling official at the time of thirty years old, and you will be the only one who is in charge of the imperial edicts and will be just around the corner."

Why do you say this too? I am not the one who devotes my life to the death.

After laughing bitterly in his stomach, Du Shiyi couldn't refute Song Jing's earnest expectations, so he could only agree. When the time for the business training | Song Jing changed the subject and asked about his marriage. Obviously, the aftermath of the marriage had already spread from Luoyang to Chang'an. Du Shiyi couldn't say that he and Wang Rongxing appreciated each other in front of Song Jing, but in front of Song Jing, he emphasized the fate of saving Wang Rong from Wang Shouyi's evil men. Sure enough, Song Jing's frown gradually stretched out.

"Since you are willing, I won't say much. If you marry a wife and a talent and virtue, you are not in a family, you are like a prime minister's son-in-law, but very few can become good people. Back then, my sons were also confused and thought that I value you because I wanted to recruit you as my grandson, but they didn't know that I was busy with state affairs and neglected them, so that my sons had no talent, so how could they marry your granddaughter who could not be sure of his character?"

This was the first time Du Shiyi knew that the Song family even regarded him as the candidate for his son-in-law and couldn't help but sweat. However, what impressed him even more was Song Jing's words that were earnest and heart-warming.

"For so many years, Song Kaifu's care, care, and teachings, and mentoring, and mentoring, and the etiquette of the scholars dare not forget it."

"Haha, when you get married, I will also see how the bride can be. It can be a wise woman who can give the saint a marriage with golden words and jade words, and can also say your intentions. I think it is undoubtedly a virtuous woman."

After returning to Chang'an, this was Wang Yuanbao's nest and Du Shiyi's nest. After several arrangements, he finally met Wang Rong who had been away for a long time. When he passed Song Jing's words to Wang Rong intact, the girl was also moved and her face turned slightly red. Wang Rong didn't know that Du Shiyi could face the emperor Xu Marriage Princess Xu Marriage and say such unthinkable words of rejection, but if Song Jing left Chang'an and Guanfeng Beidi before Du Shiyi left Feng Beidi, Du Shiyi might not have been able to refuse. It was the old man's upright character that fulfilled them.

"Although Du Lang lost his parents at a young age, he was really lucky to have Duke Lu as his teacher and Song Kaifu gave some advice."

"You are right. Compared to some people who have fathers, they still have to be careful of their father's calculations. It's even rare to be a teacher who is sincere. I am really lucky."

Du Shiyi's words sounded like he was feeling casually, only he knew who he was talking about. Because Shiyi Buqu was a close minister of the emperor, the Secretariat was in the ban like the Menxia Provincial Department. He went in and out every day and met the crown prince Li Hong twice. The crown prince, who was impulsive to give up his studies for the sake of his serious illness, now there is no curiosity and childishness on his face, and replaced by deepness and restraint. Obviously, after losing his mother, he was not pleased by his father, and there was no one around him to rely on. The young crown prince had to mature by himself.

Li Wei went to Shuofang to guard the town of Shuofang instead of Xiao Song, and Xiao Song was going to Helong, so he naturally would not be single. He picked and picked him up. Among the people he was named, Pei Ning's brother Pei Kuan. On this day, Du Shiyi happened to visit Pei Ning because of Pei Ning's incident. The news was sent to the Pei family. Pei Kuan was stunned and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao and I had some love in my early years. Maybe he thought I was reliable in doing things, so he chose me as the judge. Sanlang judged the Tea Instructor in the Southeast, and I was going out again. There were a few younger brothers at home. I would like to ask Du Shijiulang, you can help take care of him."

Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan had had several dealings with each other and knew that although he was not afraid of power, he was not completely unresponsive. Moreover, since Xiao Song valued Pei Kuan because of his understanding, he did not just go to war. What's more important is to stabilize Helong, so he didn't say much and readily agreed to Pei Kuan's entrusted.

As he hurried back to Chang'an from Shuofang and went to Longyou with carefully selected officials and followers, the city of Chang'an gradually calmed down. However, being disturbed by such an emergency, the number of people paid attention to Du Shiyi's upcoming wedding was naturally much less. On the evening of that day, when Du Shiyi worked overtime in the Secretariat again to work overtime for non-professional jobs, a Shi suddenly stepped in quickly and left a document on his desk.

"Du Buque, Princess Gu'an wrote a letter to invite him to come to the court. Your Majesty has already approved it. He heard that the princess had a light carriage and horses rode her horses all the way. She had passed Luoyang and was about to arrive in Chang'an in a few days."

Hearing this news, Du Shiyi was shocked and took the document and said no. After he left, he clenched his fists and knocked them on the desk with great joy.

Is my sister coming to the court or is she going to attend his wedding?

When he walked out of the Daming Palace with stars in the sky, Chibi, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, quickly stepped forward and said another good news with a smile: "Langjun, the little lady of the Yang family has arrived.
