61. Hands on

A month ago, Asmi, the leader of Quze's tribe, sent an envoy to Beijing to pay a tribute to the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked the new emperor to send an angel to inspect Quze and discuss the reopening of the market. W√w    W√.

81zW.

While sending envoys to Chang'an, CoM Asmi sent his brothers to lead a group of men to the south and approach Wuguan. The flag was to send envoys to Beijing. The emperor handed over the matter to the court. The court officials were divided into two sides. One faction, the Minister of Rites Xu Lian, advocated agreeing to Asmi's request, asking the emperor to order Shuofang Town to open three border markets, apply the strategy of restraint, and use Asmi's hand to restrain Hexi Tubo.

Another faction is Qiu Shiliang's disciple and the scholar Liu Yanfeng. This faction believes that the Quze tribe has consolidated its military forces in recent years, and has expanded its military power sharply. It has secretly communicated with Tuyuhun and other departments in the northwest. It has become unscrupulous and advocated issuing an order to send troops to expel them to avoid being given a verbal slander and another fight.

The two factions quarreled and refused to give in to each other, from morning to night, and could not argue. Li Yan ordered the eunuch to pass on the meal and asked the ministers to discuss it after dinner.

Li Yan took this opportunity to lie in the back hall for a while, and sighed to Li Haogu, "When the late emperor was there, these officials often argued over a trivial matter?" Li Haogu did not dare to say yes, nor did hesitate, and hesitated. Li Yan became upset, waved his hand, and said, "Go away, useless things, ask Lieutenant Qiu, oh, go and invite Gong Qiu to come."

When Qiu Shiliang heard Li Yan’s invitation, he frowned and asked the eunuch beside him: “What big thing happened in the court today?”

The eunuch replied: "If there is any major event, how dare you not report it? Because the Uighur Quze tribe sent envoys to the capital, the ministers in the south quarreled endlessly, from morning to night, and had no idea. Looking at each of them loyal to the state affairs, they were actually idiots who exhausted His Majesty."

Qiu Shiliang nodded, and he was already worried. Therefore, when Li Yan complained to him that no one in the court could share his worries, Qiu Shiliang immediately recommended several available talents to him and commented on the characteristics of these available talents one by one. Li Yan nodded repeatedly and said with great satisfaction: "King Qiu is the minister of the country. I will hire all the people you have recommended, and I will immediately issue an edict to entrust important tasks."

After saying that, he said in a discussion tone: "I heard that Li Deyu, the governor of Huainan, is quite famous. I want to use him as prime minister. What does Qiu Gong want to do? "Qiu Shiliang kowtowed in panic and said: "The country's famous tools are in the hands of the emperor. Who should the country use as prime minister? Your Majesty can discuss with the Southern Ya officials. How dare the internal ministers hear about it?"

Li Yan laughed loudly and personally helped Qiu Shiliang up and said, "Qiu Gong worked hard for thirty years and assisted the king of the country for three generations. He has made great contributions and worked hard. Recently, many court officials and foreign ministers have submitted a letter to memorize the stories of his ancestors and appointed Qiu Gong as the envoy of the 12 Imperial Army to observe the military appearance and prosecutor Sikong to demonstrate his merits. Please do not refuse."

Qiu Shiliang rested on the ground and bowed again, "It is the duty of the official to be loyal to the state affairs. How dare you accept this great throne? I beg your Majesty to take back his order."

Li Yan shouted: "Mr. Qiu please don't refuse. You can hand over military affairs with others as soon as possible. When the Empress Dowager's birthday, I will announce this in front of the world. At that time, please ask Mr. Qiu to observe the world's military appearance on my behalf. I will also give you a memorial monument, oh, let the talented Li Cheng write an article for you."

Qiu Shiliang said: "The inner minister is frightened, and the inner minister thanks Your Majesty for his kindness. However, if the old minister goes, who can take charge of the left army? Please tell me clearly."

Li Yan pondered and said, "I have to search carefully. Qiu Gong has a suitable candidate, so I can recommend it to me. Before that, Zuo Jun would have to pay attention to Qiu Gong's care."

Qiu Shiliang kowtowed: "The inner minister obeys the order."

After dinner, Li Yan came to the front hall and said to the ministers: "You are all dear friends, you have a good intention."

Xu Lian and Liu Yanfeng said in unison: "I am not convinced, please give your majesty a judgment."

Li Yan changed his color and said, "A small Quze tribe makes it difficult for all the officials in the court to decide. What's the use of me supporting you? Liu Yanfeng drafted an order and came to Beijing to meet him. I want to see his sincerity and make a decision." After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Ask for any matters early, and leave the court without any matters. Please come back."

The court officials dispersed, and Liu Yanfeng and others refused to leave, so they came to see Qiu Shiliang. The little eunuch guarding the gate told them that Qiu Shiliang was using supper. The group was afraid and dared not speak loudly, and they all stood quietly in the courtyard and waited. Until the eunuch came out and said, "Lieutenant asked Mr. Liu."

Liu Yanfeng was dressed and stepped in. He looked at an old eunuch sitting under the palace lantern and kowtowed. The eunuch sneered: "Oh, Mr. Liu, if you want to worship Buddha, you have to worship the real Buddha, you have to worship the real Buddha, right? You can see clearly that our family has a clay body, not a Buddha."

Liu Yanfeng looked up and saw that it was indeed not Qiu Shiliang. He was shocked, terrified and ashamed for a moment, and was sweating profusely. The eunuch led him into the room. He saw Qiu Shiliang sitting on the chair in a crooked manner, and then kowtowed and said, "I have seen the old man in my late life."

Qiu Shiliang waved his hand and signaled him to get up. He pointed to a stool diagonally opposite him and signaled him to sit down. Liu Yanfeng thanked him and sat down tremblingly.

Qiu Shiliang then asked, "How did the emperor in Quze judge the sentence?"

Liu Yanfeng answered truthfully, and he expressed his opinion without waiting for Qiu Shiliang to ask: "As soon as this example is opened, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the opportunity of the birthday celebration to summon bad ministers to Beijing, which will be detrimental to you, Mr. Qiu."

Qiu Shiliang asked: "Did you hear anything?"

Liu Yanfeng said: "Recently, it has been rumored that many vassal states have submitted requests to commend Qiu Gong's merits. The students are afraid that he will use the issue to secretly use the name of glamorous and noble, and secretly use villains to create a trick of rising and falling openly to harm the old man."

Qiu Shiliang said: "You can see this, which shows that you are not a confused person. Let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty has decided to appoint me as the 12th Army Guardian, the Procurator of Sikong, and the General of the Left Guard."

Liu Yanfeng was shocked when he heard this and said repeatedly: "Old sir, don't obey orders. He is a military commander and has a high position. He is only afraid... he is only afraid that he will be unfavorable to the old sir."

Qiu Shiliang: "The general of the Bian said he would like to ask me for me. Your Majesty is so kind to the world. If I refuse, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

Liu Yanfeng said: "Hateful, hateful, who is so vicious and the old man is so vicious?"

Qiu Shiliang said: "I just praised you for not being confused, and you became confused. I have been in the palace for thirty years. I will not be at the forefront of the storm and just deal with it whenever I have tried to do it." He privately reminded him some words.

Liu Yanfeng came out and said to everyone, and everyone was happy and said, "I will feel at ease when the old man is so calm."

There is only one of them named Yu Chenwan, the hereditary county duke, Princess Shang Yiyang, who served as Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Princess Yiyang is the sister of a compatriot of Emperor Wenzong Li Ang. She accidentally fell into Taiye Lake at the age of seven and was frostbite. From then on, she was not very smart.

Emperor Wenzong was really sad and exhausted for his sister. He chose Yu Chenwan as his son-in-law. Yu Chenwan came from a noble family and all the disgust of the playboys from a noble family was surprisingly reflected in him. But Li Ang still took a fancy to him, which was that he was sincere to Princess Yiyang.

Yu Chenwan once served as an eunuch in the provincial junior supervisor, the chief officer of the Ministry of Works, the magistrate of Chang'an County and the head of the Ministry of Justice. He had a nickname called "Death-seeking Ghost". He said that he killed people like a man, and was a hardcore Qiu Shiliang focused on cultivating in the court. Because he killed too many people, his official reputation was not good. Although he had a prominent background and had the great backer of Qiu Shiliang, his official position was getting worse and worse. In the end, he went to the Honglu Temple and sat on the bench.

After sitting on the bench, Yu Chenwan's arrogance was greatly reduced and he became the famous "Yu Mihu" in Chang'an City. In addition to entering the palace, he always had this small wine pot on his waist, and he was drunk all day long.

On that day, after leaving the palace, he did not return to Anxingfang's home, but called his friends to Pingkangfang. He climbed over the wall without any restrictions. He got drunk in the Qushe and came home. Before the door of the house opened, he kicked the door hard, shouted and scolded, and alarmed Luo Zu, who came to lock him up and cursed. He pointed at Luo Zu's nose and cursed: "Do you know who I am? I am the disciple of Qiu Observer, the disciple of Qiu Zu's observatory. How dare you take me?"

Luo Zu was frightened when he heard this. He was even more proud when he saw it. On a whim, he even picked up a blue brick and beat a Luo Zu to the head and broke into blood. At this moment, the Luo Zu stopped doing it and rushed to lock him and took him to the yamen.

When the princess of Yiyang saw her husband violated the rules all night, she cried and made a fuss at home. The general manager sent someone to inquire. Well, she was taken away by Jingzhao Luzhu. The general manager did not dare to tell the princess, because she was afraid that she would get crazy and then secretly discussed with the family order. Dianjun and discussed it. Before he had made a plan, the princess didn't know where to find out that her husband had someone to take it. She immediately put on her clothes, held a stick of water and fire, called the slave, and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion angrily. Jingzhao Yin was trying hard for this matter. When he heard the princess was coming, he panicked and held his head in his hands and held his hat and ran away from the back door, leaving Shaoyin to hold the jar.

Shaoyin accompanied the princess all, so he respectfully sent Yu Chenwan back to the mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Yu Chenwan knelt down to the princess with a smile on his face. When everyone saw that the couple was about to fight and hid in a hurry.

The princess was thinking of the stick and sneered, "You still know how afraid? You are so capable, you don't return without going back, you don't drink back, and you even beat the lord. You really think that the government offices of the Tang Dynasty are all run by our family." Yu Chenwan said with a smile on his face, "Princess is angry, I do this to protect our family's wealth."

The princess sneered, "Oh, is that right? I won't hit you for now. You can tell me the reasons carefully. I can't tell you why. I won't agree to it."

Yu Chenwan said: "It's not convenient here, let's talk about it when we go back to the house?"

The hippie pushed the princess to the inner room with a smile, and the slaves whispered: "The prince consort is a good method. This is not understandable outside, so it's easy to say in the room."

The princess was plump and Yu Chenwan was thin. It took a lot of effort to invite the princess into the inner room. After closing the door, Yu Chenwan knelt down and shed tears: "The big thing is not good, something big is going to happen in the palace again."

The princess grabbed his ear and said, "Don't be fooling me, I'm about to trick me."

Yu Chenwan said: "I didn't lie to you this time. Qiu Shiliang is about to fall. We have to get out of the shelter immediately."

After saying this, the princess was also panicked and asked, "What should I do, what should I do? My emperor's younger brother is gone again. Who will I ask for life, and who will I ask for life?"

After a few words, his eyes were filled with tears. Yu Chenwan said, "Princess, you forgot that the Holy Emperor is also your younger brother." The princess said happily when she heard this, "Yes, yes, yes, he is also my emperor younger brother. But he is not good to me."

Yu Chenwan said: "Whether you kiss or not, it's broken bones and tendons. Come on, listen to me."

Yu Chenwan sat down with the princess, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then said, "Your Majesty wants to promote Qiu Gong to be the military inspector. Qiu Gong was calm on the surface, but he was panicked. It seemed that he had ended his might and had no other tricks."

The princess stared at her big eyes and Mumu asked angrily: "Didn't you say that he has a strong power than the emperor's brother? Why can't it be done? What's going on? You said it all in a row."

Yu Chenwan said everything he heard yesterday, and finally said, "Princess, please think about how calm Mr. Qiu is. Mount Tai collapsed before him without changing color. But what he said last night shows that his mind is completely confused. Your Majesty's trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron is to kill him."

The princess nodded, then grabbed his ear and said, "So you ran to drink flower wine and beat the lord? Are you looking for death by yourself? I will grab your ear and go to the palace to apologize, dismiss you, and will not serve as a servant for the emperor's house, and live at home to escape this disaster."

Yu Chenwan grinned and begged, "It hurts, it hurts, let go, let go." After coaxing and Meng, the Princess Yiyang finally gave up. Yu Chenwan said, "Didn't you hear that there is no egg left under the collapse of the nest?"

The princess said, "Huhuhu, are you going to sleep?"

Yu Chenwan was still not angry. While he massaged the princess' wife's back and shoulders, he said with a fierce look on his face: "He has already committed a great crime to help the evil, and only by making unparalleled achievements can he be able to turn danger into danger. Your Highness, whether you can turn evil into good fortune this time depends on the will of heaven."
