"Lingnan?"
Before Cheng Zhijie left the palace, Wei Zheng caught up with him.
The two of them were old acquaintances in Henan, and both had served Li Mi, but they had no friendship.
Wei Zheng once served as a county magistrate in Hebei. After surrendering Li Mi, he became closer to Pei Renji, Jia Runpu and others, but was incompatible with the rebel generals.
Li Po had high expectations for Li Xizhi's trip, and he was afraid that Cheng Zhijie would not know the importance of the matter and would do something bad, so he sent Wei Zheng to give him a warning and explain the purpose of his trip to him.
The two were walking and talking at the same time. The two people from Henan gathered together and soon found a feeling. According to the habit in Henan, they first talked about old times.
Most of the famous people in Henan back then have died, and only two or three kittens are still alive today. Although Cheng Zhijie and Wei Zheng still screamed like "Wei Gong", they actually believed in their hearts that Li Mi was the disaster star.
World.
Not a single big thing was accomplished, but the number of people involved was more than one, Wang Shichong, and two.
Yang Xuangan, the lord Li Mi served, had his body cut into pieces. All the relatives and friends who helped Li Mi escape were captured and executed, and his family was destroyed. It can be said that he was hurt along the way.
If Li's ancestors could have predicted this day, they would have given him back to his mother's womb. They had never seen such a wasteful thing.
Fang Yanzao, Zheng Ting and others who had advised Li Mi were all killed, not to mention the generals under his command. In fact, few died in the battle. Either Li Mi himself had his head chopped off, or Wang Shichong
Come and use the knife.
Those who survived were all blessed with great fortune, and no one knows how much smoke was coming from the ancestral graves.
So those bloody and horrifying past events are nothing to narrate, and they were revealed in just a few sentences.
As soon as Wei Zheng started talking about business, Cheng Zhijie's eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together. Looking at his appearance, Wei Zheng suppressed a smile and said: "Li Shaoqing's new Lingnan pacification ambassador will naturally go to Lingnan. The general must take care when he goes there.
"
Cheng Zhijie's heart was already half cold. Although he had never been to Lingnan, who in the world didn't know that Lingnan is a dangerous place?
In the eyes of northerners, it is a barren mountain shrouded in smog and infested with snakes and insects. It has been the first choice for deporting prisoners since ancient times. Some officials may be relegated there after being offended. Most of them are not accustomed to the climate and soon die of illness.
Another great place to talk about.
Compared with Hexi, it is no worse. The emperor really did not tell lies. A place with mountains and rivers, there is absolutely no wind and sand...
Wei Zheng was kind-hearted and did not say any more sarcastic words, but asked Cheng Dabeard to calm down first.
After a long while, Cheng Zhijie said: "Can I..." He didn't say the word "can't", but asked: "Li Shaoqing, I've never heard of this person. Brother Wei, can you tell me? What's more?
Did he commit any crime that led him to be sent to Lingnan as an official?"
Wei Zheng nodded, then shook his head. He said it was none of his business, so he told the truth, "Li Shaoqing is a descendant of Xiao Xian. His ancestral home is in Longxi and he used to live in Lingnan.
After he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was even highly valued and appointed as Taichang Shaoqing.
General, don't make blind guesses. Although Li Shaoqing is here to appease the ambassador, he is actually looking for a strange flower called Baidiezi for the Supreme Being."
Having said this, he looked at Cheng Dabeard, who had his ears pricked up, and felt that although this man was a bit unlucky and obviously not liked by the Supreme Being, he was an old friend of Henan after all, so he should give a few words of advice.
So he continued: "I heard about this in the Taiji Hall. Bai Diezi is not uncommon in Lingnan and often appears in the courtyard, so it shouldn't take much time to respond.
I heard that Commander-in-Chief Li is deploying troops in Lingnan, so you should be careful when you go there. Don't let bandits take advantage of you when the war is in chaos. The general once led troops in Henan, so I don't need to say more about this, right?"
Cheng Zhijie gratefully held up his hands and said, "I have remembered this favor from Brother Wei. I have never been too close to him before... If I can come back safely this time, if Brother Wei has any use for me, just give me your orders."
Even though it was just a few words, Cheng Zhijie felt a lot more at ease. It turned out that he was just looking for exotic flowers and plants, and they were relatively common, so it was much easier than going to Dunhuang.
Moreover, Li Shaoqing sounds like he has a lot of background. Maybe if he goes to Xiao Mian's territory and asks someone, someone will send him over. It's not impossible.
He thought he was going to deal with the barbarians in Lingnan again, but it seemed that he was overthinking it.
Wei Zhengdao: "General, please do not take it lightly. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter and allows the general to escort Li Shaoqing there. This is a sign of trust in the general. The general must not let him down."
Cheng Dabeard nodded repeatedly, but said to himself, I don't know what Bai Diazi is, but he wants people to go there alone. Is it the elixir of immortality? Or some kind of auspiciousness?
If that's the case, the emperor looks like a coward...
Of course, he would not say these words. Wei Zheng was a close official of the emperor, and he was also a public official. He could just turn around and sue him, so he had to be careful when talking to this person.
Cheng Zhijie rolled his eyes, straightened his beard and said, "Brother Wei, if you have some free time tonight, why don't you come to my house to have a drink and let's have a good chat?"
Seeing that Wei Zheng's face turned serious, he was about to refuse, so he continued: "Let's call Zhang Jingshan, Doctor Zhang, and Governor Luo Shixin, what do you think?
By the way, Zhang Jingshan has returned to Beijing, right? If not, well, then we will invite Inspector Gao Jifu."
Wei Zheng's words of rejection were on his lips, and he swallowed them back with a little embarrassment.
If before, he would never drink with an unlucky guy like Cheng Zhijie, but now he has something on his mind and is preparing to be impeached by some people, so he can't just let it go, especially when it comes to socializing.
Except for Luo Shixin, the people mentioned by Cheng Zhijie are all old people from Henan, especially Gao Jifu, who is now the key figure Wei Zheng has made friends with.
So he stopped being pretentious, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Then I'll bother Brother Cheng tonight. However, Brother Cheng has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he still doesn't know the situation in the DPRK. Zhang Jingshan just returned to Beijing a while ago, and he has been promoted to Minister of War due to his merits.
.
Gao Feng has also resigned from the position of inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs and been transferred to the Yushitai. They are all busy with official duties now, and they don't know if they can be invited to come."
He had to seal the deal. Cheng Dabeard was quite slippery and could deceive people without blinking an eye. Otherwise, there would probably be a bearded man waiting for him when he went there at night.
If Cheng Zhijie could really invite all these people to his home, he would have to look at him differently, for fear that this person would be boasting.
Cheng Zhijie secretly curled his lips, thinking that this man is very powerful and not happy at all. I want you to see what I am capable of, old Cheng, so as not to underestimate him.
Alas, I have only been away from Beijing for a year, and these guys have been promoted. I worked so hard to be promoted to Sima and join the army. Is God blind?
