Chapter 195? The situation in the capital(1/2)
The cemetery will naturally not be guarded.
Of course, Li Yan would arrange for someone to come to the cemetery to guard the cemetery.
One is cleaning, the other is memorial service.
Such a large cemetery, if no one has maintained it for a long time, even if many stone tablets are built, they will inevitably be destroyed under the wind and sun.
Maintenance is to allow these soldiers who once left for Xichuan to have a clean shelter and not become lonely ghosts.
With Li Yan's shout, Li Yan began to take the lead again and gave a standard military salute to all the soldiers who died.
Before the end, Li Yan even toasted every soldier with a bowl of wine.
When evening came, the ritual was completely over.
The people left with a sense of sadness.
The families of the soldiers also left with sadness and sorrow.
After Li Yan's words, the soldiers began to return to their camps.
Night.
Li Yan sat in the Jiedu Mansion, quiet and disgusting, as if he had not recovered from that ritual.
"Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything in a day, just eat something." Shi Kuan came over with some food.
Li Yan pointed to the table in front, "I can't eat for the time being, I'll eat later when I'm hungry. Tomorrow you go to the workshop to check, and in addition, you will visit the soldiers who have left the battlefield tomorrow. See if they have any requirements. If there are any requirements, record them and tell me."
"Your Highness, according to the rules we have set, whether they are killed or disabled, they will give them pensions first and then arrange their work. If we ask for their opinions, it may backfire, and someone may make various requests. I think, let's forget about this." When Shi Kuan heard Li Yan's order, his first reaction was that he felt that Li Yan's approach was problematic.
So, it is.
At present, the most direct way for those who are willing to come to join the army is to pay military salaries.
Pension?
That's basically nothing.
Not to mention that they had arranged work, and even arranged work for the soldiers' families, which had never been included in the entire Tang Dynasty.
However, this is Xichuan.
This is Li Yan's territory.
Li Yan's request was to make all soldiers willing to become Li Yan's soldiers even if they were disabled, and even with crutches, they were willing to fight for Li Yan.
Otherwise, why would Li Yan teach thought classes every day to all the recruits entering the training camp?
No matter how good you are in the ideological class, if you don’t get it in practice, it will definitely backfire.
At this time, even those who died or those soldiers who retired due to disability, Li Yan just wanted Shi Kuan to give him some condolences.
It is for fame, and it is for fame.
With this reputation, Li Yan will be much easier to raise an army.
Li Yan looked at Shi Kuan and shook his head gently, "You just do as I say. After you finish, I will explain it to you. Then you will understand why I chose this."
Shi Kuan had no words and had to accept the order.
at this time.
Far away from the Ying Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City, Qiu Liangshi was drunk and left the Ying Prince's Mansion with the help of his servants. "Princess, I am so happy that I am so kind to treat today. If King Ying returns to Chang'an one day, I must have a drink with King Ying. Happy, happy. King Ying defeated Nanzhao and regained Huichuan. In the future, the Nanzhao Kingdom will not dare to invade my Tang Kingdom again."
"If Your Highness returns to Chang'an one day, I must ask Duke Qiu to the mansion to have a big drink with Your Highness." Wang Shu pretended to be happy and looked like a compliment.
After Qiu Shiliang got on the carriage and left, Wang Shu then put on a smile on her face, waved to the servants with a gloomy face, and signaled everyone to close the gate of the Yingwang Mansion.
After returning to the inner courtyard, Wang Shu was very tired.
But no matter how tired she is, she has to write a letter to Li Yan quickly.
Wang Shu picked up the pen and started writing down the recent situation in Chang'an on the paper.
Half an hour later, the letter was written.
Wang Shu recruited Li You, "Li Sima, you can arrange this letter to your highness as soon as possible. The situation in Chang'an has been too tense recently. Your Highness will probably not be too long in Xichuan. We have to make your Highness prepare quickly, otherwise, your Highness will be recalled to Chang'an, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Just recently.
Qiu Shiliang revealed to Wang Shu about the affairs in the court and the general situation in Chang'an.
Recently, there have been people in the court who have won a battle with Li Yan, and suggested that Li Ang issue an order to recall Li Yan.
The name is very nice and rewarded.
and.
Qiu Shiliang also revealed a piece of news to Wang Shu.
According to Qiu Shiliang's words, most of the court officials suggested to Emperor Li Ang to recall Li Yan from Xichuan, and most of the points were the eunuch Wang Shoucheng.
Of course, there were also several prime ministers in the court who strongly advised Li Yan to be recalled.
As for what I mean, as long as I am a smart person, I know that some people don’t want Li Yan to be in Xichuan for a long time, and some people even want to pick peaches.
Today, Xichuan is the biggest issue in the court.
Moreover, some time ago, when they learned that Li Yan had destroyed most of the troops in Nanzhao, some people in the court could not sit still.
Therefore, for this period of time, I have been discussing Li Yan every day.
Although Wang Shu couldn't see through what the ministers and eunuchs in the court meant, he always felt that it was a situation openly and secretly. Moreover, as long as Li Ang agreed, Li Yan would definitely fall into this situation.
so.
When Qiu Shiliang left, Wang Shu was eager to transfer the situation in Chang'an to Li Yan so that Li Yan could prepare.
"Princess, I believe I will send it to Xichuan as soon as possible. However, recently, news from Xichuan said that Your Highness had returned to Chengdu Prefecture seven or eight days ago. According to reports, Your Highness personally led his troops to the heartland of Nanzhao and captured Wang Zaidian, the Qingping official of Nanzhao. Your Highness captured Wang Zaidian alive, and the Nanzhao Kingdom was probably in chaos. I think that if the situation in the court is transmitted back to Chang'an, it will definitely take another major change. Therefore, please don't be anxious. Everything will be within the control of Your Highness." Li You saw Wang Shu asking him to send a message to Li Yan, and you could tell what Wang Shu was going to do at a glance.
When Wang Shu heard Li You's words, she looked shocked, "What you said is true? Your Highness really captured Wang Shadian alive? As you said, Your Highness captured Wang Shadian alive. Has Wang Shadian's elite army also been destroyed by Your Highness?"
"That's of course. Your Highness will never fight a battle without confidence. Once your Highness decides to attack Nanzhao, he will definitely not ignore Wang Chadian's elite troops. Now that Wang Chadian has been captured alive, the elite troops in Wang Chadian's hands must have been wiped out by Your Highness. However, Your Highness personally led his troops deep into Nanzhao. In such a dangerous thing, I hope that Your Highness will not do anything else in the future." Li You nodded and replied.
Wang Shu realized after hearing Li You's words.
Wang Shu immediately took a breath, "Fortunately, your highness is fine, God bless you, God bless you."
letter.
That night, Li You had someone to send him away secretly.
And at the second noon, Wang Shu once again entered the palace under the guise of visiting Li Ang's woman.
Every time.
If Wang Shu wants to see Li Ang, she has to find such an excuse.
Otherwise, if a woman enters the palace from time to time, she may be verbally irrelevant.
At that time, if you don’t say that your reputation is gone, you might be missed by someone and then find an excuse to kill Wang Shu.
After entering the palace, Wang Shu had met Li Ang and passed on the news that Li You told him last night to Li Ang.
When Li Ang heard Wang Shu's words, he was shocked for a long time, "What you said is true? Brother Yan has really captured Wang Chowdian alive? As far as I know, Wang Chowdian is a Qingping official of Nanzhao Kingdom, and he is also the governor of Nongdong. He has 40,000 elite soldiers under his command. How did Brother Yan capture Wang Chowdian alive? You can tell me as soon as possible, I need to know all the things."
"Your Majesty, I just heard this news, but I don't know what the specific thing is. However, I think this news will be reduced to Chang'an in the near future. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely know everything." Wang Shu didn't know the specific story of the matter.
Don’t say that she doesn’t know, even Li You is not completely aware of it.
He just received news that Li Yan captured Wang Chadian alive. No matter how specific it is, he only has a few words.
Wang Shu couldn't tell me why.
But even so, Li Ang was still excited and a little at a loss, "Okay, okay, I really didn't expect that Brother Yan won the Huichuan back, and even destroyed most of the troops in Nanzhao. Now, even Wang Chadian was captured alive. I think that Wang Chadian's tens of thousands of elite soldiers may be destroyed. Hahaha, from now on, I will no longer have to worry about Nanzhao, hahahaha!!!"
Li Ang was happy.
Li Ang laughed happily.
"Your Majesty, I have heard recently that someone in the court wants to recall Your Highness. I wonder if this is the case?" Wang Shu suddenly asked Li Ang when she was happy.
After hearing the words, Li Ang looked at Wang Shu and nodded gently.
Li Ang, who was happy, suddenly his face fell down and his brows frowned a little outrageously, "Many ministers in the court have strongly advised to recall Brother Yan, saying that they would reward Brother Yan. The past two days have been even more violent, and I can't stand it. However, today you come to convey to me that Brother Yan captured Wang Saidian alive, so that I am very happy. Don't worry about the affairs in the court. If they make trouble for them, I will not agree. Brother Yan pacified Nanzhao for the court and took back Huichuan. According to the etiquette, he must be rewarded. Now, Brother Yan has captured Wang Saidian alive. With such great achievements, the court officials will definitely take this opportunity to ask me to recall Brother Yan again. It's a headache, how should I refuse them? It's really a headache."
Li Ang was a little panicked again at this time.
He could not find an excuse to refuse the court officials' request for advice.
Li Ang really didn't expect that Li Yan would capture Wang Chowdian alive in such a short time.
It’s not unaware of who Wang Chadian is.
"Your Majesty, although Your Highness captured Wang Chowdian alive, according to my opinion, the court officials will probably use Wang Chowdian's name to ask Your Highness to escort Wang Chowdian back to the capital. Your Majesty, then you must not agree to those court officials. If Your Highness is recalled to Chang'an, then they will punish Your Highness for all kinds of crimes. Your Majesty, I am here to ask Your Majesty." When Wang Shu heard Li Ang's words, she was even more worried and immediately gave a big gift to Li Ang and begged.
Wang Shu’s worries are normal.
As normal, if Wang Chowdian, the Nanzhao Qingping official, would definitely be asked to be escorted back to the capital and sent to the court for trial.
The person who escorted Wang Chowdan back to the capital must be Li Yan's.
However, no one of them thought that Li Yan would publicly trial Wang Chowdian and even killed Wang Chowdian.
