14. Cui Yunshao forwarded the letter
The so-called "Sanying Monument" means that Tian Xu now wants to praise his dead father, Tian Chengsi, and strengthen the legitimacy of his own rule in the vassal states. After all, I am the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty and the brother-in-law of today.
However, Lu Zhi never wrote an inscription to anyone since he entered the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy until he became the prime minister, because he believed that the inscription had always been full of praise for the dead, and he was unhappy in his heart, let alone writing an inscription for a traitor like Tian Chengsi.
However, the emperor repeatedly and sincerely requested that Lu Jiu, you are considered a literary scholar in China, and I will be at ease only if you write it, and Tian Xu must be happy: "I know that you despise the Wei Bo Tian clan, but in order to stabilize the national situation, please feel a little wronged."
After much persuasion, Lu Zhi had to agree in the end.
The emperor was overjoyed, and in contrast, he also made a promise to Lu Zhi: When the war in Helong came to an end, I would put the abolition of the Daying Qionglinku on the agenda, so that the prime ministers in the court could gather ideas and open discussions. Lu Jiu, you can find any supporters.
Lu Zhi, who returned to his house, was very entangled and paced back and forth in the simple courtyard for a long time. Finally, he sighed and called his servant, saying that you would send a letter to Gaozhai in Xuanpingfang.
The servant was a little surprised and said that Mr. Ji is now in Victoria!
"Then I'll give it to Mrs. Ji, and it's the same if I'll hand it over to her."
When the moon was on the branches and the light shone on the window screen, Lu Zhi's servant was holding a letter and standing in the courtyard of the high house. Soon Zhihui carried a lantern and stepped on the thin snow, pushing open the door of her sleep, "My mistress, the assistant minister of the door, Lu Xianggong, has a small letter."
Yun Shao was talking with A Meiyun and in the small pavilion. He was surprised to hear that Lu Zhi would have written a letter in private. This was not like Lu Zhi's style of conduct.
"Maybe there is something difficult, I want to tell Qingqing..." Yun Shao was very sensible this time. She knew that she was just an intermediary, so she did not take the letter apart, but said to Zhihui, "Tomorrow you go to Xingyuan, Chongrenfang, and ask the person guarding the residence to find four Bu Zuo officials and send them to Victoria."
Soon, Tian Xu of Wei Bo knew that not only could he erect a monument of love for his deceased father, but the court also agreed to write a big article by Lu Zhi, the minister of the current dynasty. He couldn't help but be very happy, and said to his wife Princess Jiacheng: "The emperor finally did not regard me Wei Bo as an outsider."
Princess Jiacheng also took the opportunity to persuade her husband: "The previous rebellion between Heshuo and the court was caused by Tian Yue's rebellion with Wei Bo. Now that his husband and emperor are in the same family, he should sacrifice the martial arts and culture, so that he can protect his family business."
Tian Xu nodded, but his brow locked up and expressed his concern to the princess: "Xu is a vulgar person. The article of Prime Minister Lu Jiu was said to be written in a bunch of flowers. Sometimes the emperor may not be able to appreciate it. Xu also knew that the literati's writing is so powerful that he killed people without blood. So Xu was afraid that Lu Jiu looked down on me, Wei Botian, and if he secretly criticized Ah Father or me in the inscription, wouldn't that betrayal and laughed at the world?"
Princess Jiacheng smiled. She was the precious daughter of Emperor Daizong. When she got married, the emperor of the dynasty was also her brother who personally went to Wangchunting for farewell. Because she was young and was living a luxurious life, she couldn't get used to the zoo car. The emperor personally gave her the "golden cart" that the emperor rode on. Before getting married, Princess Jiacheng also learned from the palace that Tian Xu was a jackal-like figure. His position as a governor was usurped by killing his cousin Tian Yue's family. Moreover, the princess of the Tang Dynasty no longer wanted to marry a military family. She had a similar idea to Lingxu and Yiyang of the next generation, and they all wanted to marry a Jinshi.
But after arriving in Weibo Town, although Tian Xu was really not well educated, he was very good to her. He obeyed everything and spent a lot of money to build a palace in the palace to live in. He also sent off his concubines and prostitutes he had hired. Therefore, over the past five or six years, Weibo and the court have generally been in peace.
So the princess of course hoped that this situation could be maintained, which was also the purpose of her marriage to Heshuo. "A literati, the most important thing is to say is the word "confidant". Your husband might as well spend a lot of money and let the envoy go to Shangdu, and give a humble remark. I would like to ask Prime Minister Lu Jiu to say a few beautiful words to Awenduoduo in the inscription. If you are not convenient to say it, I will say it."
Tian Xu was overjoyed and immediately called Liu Zhan, the general of Ya, and told him that you are a well-written person in Wei Bo, and immediately took a hundred thousand yuan of wealth to Chang'an City. Be sure to meet Mr. Lu and convey the princess's meaning to you.
So Liu Zhan took the order to set out west.
At that time, whether it was Tian Xu, Princess Jiacheng, or even the emperor of the Daming Palace, they all believed that Wei Bo Jiedushi gave Lu Zhi a 100,000 yuan pen, hoping that Lu Zhi would write the inscription beautifully, which could be regarded as the most common operation.
But unexpectedly, this is the beginning of a new vortex.
Under the snowy ridge of Wuyoucheng in Victoria, Gao Yue, who had a bad beard, wore a blue-gray fur and unfolded Lu Zhi's letter in front of the fire. After reading it, he looked incredible, "Why are you so stubborn? Personal dignity should not be placed on the interests of the entire country!"
Alas, this person is essentially the same as that Zheng Zhi.
Unexpectedly, people from Wu spoke softly and pleasantly, but they were very stubborn in their bones.
No, it is different. At least when Zheng Zhi went on a mission to Yunnan, he was not so pedantic to kill the mission of Xifan.
Then Gao Yue stood up and shook the snow off the fur. After thinking about it, he called Wei Tuotian the close-fitting body and said to him, "Let's go to Wuzhou City and let Li Feng come to see you and tell him my words."
After Wei Tuotian left, Gao Yue looked at the Chongyong Gaoba in Wuyou City and the boundless snow ridges on both sides, and saw the soldiers in the camp living a hard and persevering life, squatting in the snow to make fires and cook, feed war horses, maintain cannons and vehicles. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, and a white mist appeared, "This is really difficult thing in the world!"
But there was also good news coming the next day:
The emperor had already traveled from the capital day and night to deliver the two million yuan of money to the soldiers of each army.
It is said that Gao Yue's team had to be rewarded with 550,000 jin, Wei Gao's team had to be rewarded with 720,000 jin, and the city's people also had a share of 200,000 jin.
The rest was all entered into the Imperial Camp's military resource treasury, but it was actually arranged by Gao Yue to prepare for the next battle.
When Gao Yue and Wei Gao stood on the middle lane and announced that they would report the share of the reward to all the soldiers and the city, the whole camp was filled with joy, and many soldiers were happy. Knowing that new goods were coming soon, they generously presented the original old cloth and colorful silk to prostitutes in the camp, or the "dew" Qiang girl who accompanied him. Suddenly, there were many women running around with various colors of cloth in the entire Tang army camp.
"What, we need to give us the task of besieging Wuyou City?" Later, the Qiangman coach such as Dong Woting and Gao Wantang were very surprised.
