The first thousand one hundred and sixty-six chapters come to the front line
Whether it is An Sishun or Ge Shuhan, if Li Longji was in power alone, even if he had left their lives, he would have sent them to a place where he was at a loss and became a small official like a county magistrate and died on his own. However, the Tang Dynasty is no longer the time for him, the emperor, to decide everything in a golden manner.
Therefore, when Du Shiyi wrote a letter in person and sincerely pleaded for Geshuhan, saying that although Geshuhan had committed the crime of losing his laws and falsely accusing An Sishun, it was now a critical moment for the rebels to use troops. It would be better to send him to the Western Regions and make meritorious service before serving in white clothes. Li Longji could only accept it with his nose. However, he pretended to be confused about Du Shiyi's letter mentioning the re-activated Wang Zhongsi. However, it was too late to send envoys to Yichang County, Lizhou, and he had no time to hope that there would be no traces there.
Gao Lishi's various persuasions also played a role. Li Longji thought that if the An Lushan rebels in the east had not been resolved, and the Longyou soldiers and horses in the west had also rebelled, and the consequences were unimaginable. He could only target the joint memorials of the Longyou army and civilians, and on the charge of fabricating letters of the gangster, he sent Geshu Han to the front of the Anxi Protectorate Army, and then restored An Sishun to the Longyou Jiedushi, and appointed Gao Shi, the judge of the Hexi Jiedushi, to fight against the Tubo attack. At the same time, Li Longji had to submit the memorials of Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan for the generals to seek merit.
On the one hand, the Du faction, who truly showed all his strength, and on the other hand, he forced his favorite concubine to death and killed the Prime Minister's Fourth Army. Li Longji found that he had no one to trust. The Fourth Army of the North Gate had not returned to Chang'an until now. He heard that the deserters had actually harmed the countryside before. Du Shiyi had ordered his servant Gu Huaien to lead the troops himself, while searching for deserters and comforting the countryside. At the same time, Du Youlin was recruiting Flying Dragon Cavalry. It is said that Chang'an officials and civilians responded, and almost all of them were warriors who had made contributions to defending the city. He knew that he could not object, and after thinking about it, he could only find a way to install Gao Lishi a title of knowledge of Flying Dragon Stable and General Zuo Yulin.
Even if it is only one in ten thousand possibility, he hopes to manage such a new imperial guard through Gao Lishi, who has a good relationship with the Du family, and at the same time strengthen the control of the future North Gate Four Army.
At this point, Li Longji was no longer worried about the two vacant ministers. After Guo Ziyi, who drove the rebels out of Guanzhong, rushed back from Tongguan, he supported his sick body to appear in the grand court in the main building of the diligent government affairs, and appointed Du Shiyi as the right prime minister and Pei Kuan as the left prime minister. However, he did not immediately make a statement about the appointment of the Grand Marshal of the World of Military Affairs, and returned to the palace.
Among the royal family, the people who are highly respected have already withered. If he set up a marshal of the world, would it be equivalent to the throne and could he give up someone? With the sharp fangs that Du Shiyi now showed, the elite troops who were controlled to suppress the rebels, how could he really obey the orders? Jiang Du and Dou E, two real royal relatives, not only controlled the palace gate, but Jiang Du also cleaned both palaces. He didn't know who could use it and who couldn't use it.
When this dynasty meeting ended, Du Shiyi and Pei Kuan and Guo Ziyi left the palace side by side, they were all mixed emotions. Pei Kuan was already very old. Although he was ridiculed by many people for his firm belief in Zen Buddhism, he has always been the most popular ones. Li Linfu has always been very afraid of him, so he stabbed him in the back a lot. Fortunately, he has always received help from all parties, and his younger brother Pei Ning helped him. Finally, he turned into good luck all the way. Now he has finally endured Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong and became the prime minister in one fell swoop. Looking back on his rugged journey, he naturally sighed.
"Jun Li, although the matter of going to war has not yet been decided, I am here for the many things in Chang'an. You can rest assured to quell the rebellion with Ziyi at that time."
"Thank you, Brother Pei." Du Shiyi smiled and bowed to Pei Kuan. Seeing that someone had already rushed to the Political Affairs Hall, he had no intention of dealing with those cumbersome government affairs. He nodded at Guo Ziyi, "Ziyi, let's go to the Chunming Gate Tower to take a look? I remember that this was the most fierce battle in the battle of the Chang'an Guards."
"good."
What did Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi say when they climbed the Chunming Gate Tower in Dongcheng, Chang'an? Except for the two people involved, the rest are unknown. Others only know that Guo Ziyi only went home and reunited with his wife and children for one night, and immediately returned to Tongguan. Du Shiyi did not wait for the royal family members who had been wandering for several miles to return to Chang'an, but wrote a letter to ask the soldiers to go to Heluo the next day. Li Longji also wanted to use government affairs to keep Du Shiyi and sent Pugu Huaien to quell the rebellion, but Pei Kuan went to the palace to express his feelings in all kinds of ways, almost making the emperor angry again.
If the generals under Du Shiyi make their own contributions, and if they turn back, they will be promoted one by one, and after they form their own system, they will be out of Du Shiyi's control. But now Du Shiyi has to go to Heluo to supervise the battle himself, even though he still grits his teeth and does not give Du Shiyi a formal name, but only with his status as the right prime minister, coupled with his reputation among the two armies of Anbei, Shuofang, Du Shiyi has the capital to order the three armies.
On the eve of his departure, Du Shiyi was not at Du House in Xuanyangfang, but at Cui House in Pingkangfang. Although Chang'an had been relieved for several days, he had been running around for several days. Even Du Youlin only asked for a time in the middle of the Forbidden Garden that day, and the rest of his family had no time to meet and talk. So, he hugged Song Jinxi's second grandson and hugged his granddaughter. He felt that his heart had become softer without realizing it, and even the voice of his speech became gentle. But for Du Shisanniang, who was once most familiar with his brother, every word Du Shiyi seemed to have a bit of a sonorous sound.
"Ziyi Huai'en is all generals, and Qizhi is also a talent that can combine troops. In addition, all the troops are broadcast. Even if I don't go, there should be no mistakes in this rebellion. But if I don't come forward, even if Your Majesty has always been afraid of the prince and grandson, he will definitely pull up his son from the shorts in the royal family and send someone to the front to serve as the marshal. As long as such a person has a little selfishness or is hesitant, he will add countless constraints to the soldiers, so I must go to the front line in person. If such a person is sent down in the future, only I can suppress him, and I dare to suppress him."
Du Shiyi said so explicitly, who could not understand? Cui Chengxun, the grandson of Zhao, who was listening, was frightened and his face turned pale. But think about his uncle Cui Taizhi, his father Cui Yanzhi also held his head to kill Er Zhang. Apart from Wei, he couldn't help but smile bitterly that he was born in the Chengping period and did not have the courage of his father. He had promised Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang to send all the servants, but he only made some effort. Unexpectedly, he was appointed as Wei Weiqing and would become a master craftsman. But as he watched his nephew Cui Peng stand in front of Du Shiyi, he was already in charge of the position of the chief officer at a young age, and he gave birth to the pride of the Cui family.
The Wannian Order is ranked above the fifth rank, which is truly the number one in the world
After reminding his family one by one, Du Shiyi saw Cui Jianxuan's elder brother Cui Chengxun standing aside without saying a word, so he slowly walked in front of him and bowed his hand solemnly. Cui Chengxun immediately came to his senses and quickly returned the courtesy. But as soon as he said, Du Shiyi shook his head.
"Cui Du is not only in-laws, but also has been with each other for more than 30 years. Brother Cui doesn't have to be polite to me. The court will be in trouble, and Pei's country alone can't help it. I'm too late this time. I hope you can visit Wang Mojie for me and ask him to come out and do something for the people. Then tell me about Xia Qing, the Crown Prince, King Guangping and King Jianning for me to die in vain. Please think carefully about whether such a rootless tree is worth relying on."
Cui Chengxun丨When hearing that Du Shiyi wanted to be a lobbyist by himself, and that he had completely different words to the Wang brothers, he couldn't help but be surprised. Especially for his brother-in-law Wang Jin, Du Shiyi's words seemed to imply that Wang Jin had once had a relationship with Prince Li Heng. He felt a chill rushing his mind. When Du Shisanniang brought Du Shiyi out with the Cui family and the younger generation of the Du family, he wanted to ask something several times, but he didn't know how to say it. He just thought about the Yimen Gate with his widowed years. He suddenly found that Cui Wuniang and Cui Jiuniang, sisters, who had been widowed for many years, stood against the door, and suddenly remembered the intention of their mother's marriage back then.
It's a pity. Whether it's Wu Niang or Jiu Niang, if she could marry Du Shiyi, how could she be alone now? The other is that she often gets angry and returns to her parents' home just a few years after marriage?
"Is the Prime Minister Du going to leave? He is so busy that we don't even have time to meet him." Cui Jiuniang happened to go back to her parents' home today, and then she learned from her sister that Du Shiyi was coming. She was about to go to Du Shisanniang's bedroom to find someone, but was pulled back by Cui Wuniang, but she still refused to give up. Yu Qiang blocked people here. At this moment, she saw Du Shiyi smile slightly and walked towards her without dodging. She also raised her chin, as proud as she used to be.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and Nine Lady is still the same." Du Shiyi remembered the scene when Cui Jiuniang pretended to be Cui Jianxuan and played with her. She felt that it was still yesterday, but more than thirty years have passed. The girl who was covered in thorns back then has been a wife and a mother for many years. He, who is well aware of Cui Jiuniang's temperament, did not give her the chance to continue to sing her teeth and claws, and said seriously, "I am really too busy to visit her. I happened to have a few words to ask Brother Ling to tell Xia Qing that when you see him, you will convey a greeting for me, and I will leave now."
Cui Jiuniang still wanted to speak, but when she saw Du Shiyi crossing her, she actually walked towards Cui Wuniang's place. She could only shut up her mouth in anger and whispered in a bad mood. I was going back to my parents' home to relax. Who would go back to bring you a message to Wang Jin.
"Fifth Lady." Standing in front of Cui Wuniang, Du Shiyi was silent for a while before speaking, "Youlin and Huiniang Apeng had insufficient experience after all, and Thirteenth Lady could not be able to take care of everything. In the future, please take care of them on my behalf. I'm not here. There will be a lot of trouble and trouble in Chang'an City. Please take care of yourself."
"No matter how dangerous it is in Chang'an City, it is not as good as the sword without eyes on the battle formation. You must take good care of yourself."
Cui Wuniang thought of the peace talisman in her sleeve, but she didn't take it out in the end. She just watched Du Shiyi bow and turned around and strode away. At that moment, she remembered that she had just seen his gray temples and sighed silently in her heart.
Now, no one in Chang'an City talks about Du Shiyi's earth-shaking reversal, but who would have thought that he had worked silently outside the Chang'an court for so many years? It is said that time makes people grow old, but it is clearly the heavy responsibilities and pressure that made his hair look like frost.
