13. The whole teacher stays behind

Cui Kuan's family left the capital shortly afterwards and embarked on the road to Xichuan. Before leaving, Cui Kuan told Gao Yue: "I was the mansion in Shengpingfang that I was in charge of my brother. Now that my brother is going to enter the court, you and Yun Shao will be under the supervision of this mansion. I'm sorry I didn't have time to buy a house for you and Yun Shao, and I'll wait for your father-in-law to come before I'll say it."

When Cui Kuan left, Cui Ning from Xichuan was also preparing to set off.

Among the Minghuang Taoist temples under the capital of Shu, there are lush bamboo and wood, Cui Ning and the military generals of Xichuan, and brought their families into the courtyard of the Taoist temple, kowtowing to the true appearance of the Minghuang in the temple and bowing to the statue of the Minghuang in the temple.

This place was originally a palace for Shu during the Anshi Rebellion of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. After Xuanzong left Shu, he changed it to a Taoist temple. It was enshrined with a golden statue of Xuanzong, which was the "Share Image of Emperor Minghuang". After Yan Wu, who was in charge of Shu, Cui Ning (also called Cui Zhen) and Guo Yingyi appointed by the court to fight for power (the military towns were divided into the military court faction and the Xishan faction. The former was based in the capital of Shu, with the marching Sima Du Ji, the commander of the capital military commander Guo Yinggan, and the Du Yuhou Guo Huilin, elected Guo Yingyi as the successor of Yan Wu; and the backbone of the latter was mostly concentrated in the Xishan outside the capital of Shu, with Cui Ning as the head of the general Wang Chongjun as the successor of Yan Wu. Later Guo Yingying was the backbone of the latter. Most of the backbone of the latter was concentrated in the Xishan outside the capital of Shu, with Cui Ning as the head of him, hoping to elect the general Wang Chongjun as the successor of Yan Wu.

As soon as Yi took office, he accused Wang Chongjun, and Cui Ning and the soldiers of Xishan rebelled). Because Guo Yingyi had occupied this Taoist temple as a military camp and destroyed the "Minghuang true appearance", he was morally suppressed by Cui Ning: Cui Ning called Guo Yingyi's destruction of the Ming Emperor's golden statue, which was a rebellious act. He pulled up more than 5,000 troops stationed in Xishan, Shudu, guarded Xifan, and attacked Shudu, and slaughtered Guo Yingyi's family. Guo Yingyi was killed after fleeing to Jianzhou. Later, Cui Ning defeated the Dongchuan Jiedu Zhang Xiancheng one after another. The prime minister Du Hongjian, who was sent to the court to fight, had no choice but to win over Cui Ning and submit a report to the court, accusing Cui Ning of the Jiedu power, so Cui Ning began to dominate Xichuan.

Although he gained great power by rebellion, Cui Ning has been guarding Jiannan for more than ten years and resisting Xifan, at least not only loyal to Li Tang. Therefore, in the eyes of the court, he is different from Tian Chengsi, Li Baochen, Li Zhengji and Liang Chongyi. In addition, he has raised strong men and rewarded and punished strictly, which has won the hearts of the people. The court has had to tolerate it for a long time.

After paying homage to Emperor Ming, Cui Ning and his family and the generals sat in the side hall of the Taoist temple, setting up tents around them, and the teeth soldiers were covered with armor to guard them, so that the idle people would not be allowed to enter.

Before leaving, Cui Ning would certainly not be willing to give up Jiye Xichuan, and he would leave a stake here.

Cui Ning felt that it was not enough to just ask his younger brother Cui Kuan to come here to be the governor of Shu.

Cui Ning sat beside Hu's bed, and his wife Liu lived behind a screen, but Cui Ning was kneeling beside him. She was wearing armor, lined with a colorful bamboo robe in Shu, wearing a man's hair bun, wearing a white jade-like forehead, and carrying a Turkic tower-shaped arrow bag with twenty-four white arrow feathers separated like bird screens, and carrying a four-stone bow in his hand. She held a Pu-head gun. Although her skin was white, she had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was majestic.

This is Cui Ning's concubine Ren. When Cui Ning came to visit Daizong, Yang Zilin from Luzhou came to the capital of Shu. Cui Ning's younger brother Cui Kuan was unfavorable. Seeing that Shu capital was about to lose its protection, Ren took out his private wealth to recruit warriors, and personally wore armor to fight, defeated Yang Zilin and saved the security of the army. After that, Cui Ning almost always carried Ren with him when he went in and out.

"My sons are not good at all. Can you ask your son-in-law to come here to be the young minister of Shu?" Cui Ning asked such a question in the face of the imperial court's recruitment.

The wife Liu, behind the screen, immediately reminded: It’s too funny, Yisong is now only the eighth-rank inspector and censor. Let him come here to be the young minister of Shu Capital (Isn’t that all your thoughts known to the world)?

Cui Ning became distressed because he didn't really believe that his younger brother could defend Xichuan - Li Yu's son would definitely send a special person to collect Shu.

At this time, the general under his command, Han Tan, made a suggestion, asking the commander to station all 5,000 elite soldiers in Xishan camp, and moved the military resources and armored warehouses of Shu Capital to Xishan, and appointed their confidants to take charge of the financial resources of Shu to provide for the support of the soldiers. That is to say, you are still the children of Cui Pushe, and the money is still from Cui Pushe, so even if the foreign officials arrive, they will be helpless.

Cui Ning nodded, thinking that Han Tan was right.

Just as he was about to agree, the outside world was responsible for the purpose of the shogunate, his other son Cui Ping hurried in and whispered that he had entered the yard to send an urgent report, which was my brother-in-law's secret letter.

"Oh, my son-in-law's?" Although we didn't meet, the letters from Gao Yue and Yun Shao were mostly greetings from Shuyi, but at this critical moment, the letters from the son-in-law must be extraordinary.

Cui Ning stood up, turned to the screen, and went to see the show letter with his wife. He quickly smiled and said that my little daughter finally had some vision. Then he walked out and called on his beloved generals Han Tan, Zhang Bing, Wang Shengluan and others to make such arrangements.

A few days later, Cui Ning, with dozens of wives and concubines, rode thousands of cars, carrying more than a hundred cars full of gold, silver and silk, left Shu Capital and headed towards the capital Chang'an with peace of mind.

As soon as Cui Ning left, Han Tan and others would immediately hire civil servants inside and outside the city to build barriers on the Xishan Mountain in the name of preventing the Western Fan, and began to build a guardrail and military resources warehouses, and store grain inside. At the same time, according to the suggestion of Gao Yue's secret letter, Wang Shengluan led another five hundred soldiers to establish a camp Changtun at the Lutou Shou on the Hanzhou Mountain to the north (which is Mianzhu Pass, which junctions the north and south of Shu Capital).

When Cui Ning left Xichuan, Qiao Lin and Lu Qi had already come to the Censorate to take up their posts.

Lu Qi was active in his mind. As soon as he arrived, he got the pulse of Emperor Li Shi. He immediately found Gao Yue and Lu Zhi and said that you two had used to fight against Wang Gongsu, Wang Weirong, Shao Guangchao, and Chang Gun. He was very heroic. Our Censorate needed talents like you. Then he immediately let Gao Yue and Lu Zhi become the innkeepers of the inspectors and be responsible for inspecting the large and small post stations in the capital.

Then Lu Qi called Yu Wenhong, the supervisor of the procuratorate, and scolded him, saying that you are not young anymore, but you have never heard of playing a person or reporting a case. The position of the corpse is nothing more than this. Yu Wenhong was trembling, but he still plucked up the courage to tell Lu Qi that my son-in-law was Li Feng, the Jinshi in the 12th year of Dali. He is now a proofreader in the Secretariat, and has a bright future. I also asked Lu Zhongcheng to take care of my son-in-law for his face.

"It's ridiculous. Gao Sanlang is also the son-in-law of the Xichuan Jiedushi! He has never seen him have a Qiao model like you." Lu Qi, who was not a Jinshi, was furious and immediately surrendered Yuwen Hong to the Investigation Envoy - poor Yuwen Hong, an old man who has been in the Censorate for more than ten years, had to travel with a few newcomers and run back and forth to the Daming Palace every day.

"This Lu Qi is quite capable of purging the turbidity and promoting the good and the good. After coming, the Censorate's atmosphere became much new." Soon, the emperor praised Lu Qi in public.
