According to the rules, it's time for Han Ji to leave.
But he saluted again, this time directed at A Liang.
"I've met Mr. Xiao Lang."
Ah Liang is just a child! Why do you all cherish it so much... It's normal. I'm a little scared. Aunt Guan said: "..."
"good!"
Ah Liang likes to say yes the most.
Only a two-year-old child!
Han Ji's eyes were filled with joy and he immediately left.
After going out, he met Lin Feibao.
The feeling of finally becoming one of his own after being dormant for many years made Han Ji couldn't help but express his feelings, "Young man is so talented!"
Lin Feibao nodded, "That's right."
In the backyard, A Liang was playing with Fugui and accidentally sat down on the ground. He didn't cry, but his body stiffened, which made Zheng Wuniang think of the rhythm in front of her daddy.
She was about to hug A-Liang when A-Liang shouted, "Wow!"
"What's going on?"
When Zhou Ning came out, Zheng Wuniang picked up Ah Liang, but her hands hurt when she moved them. She looked down and saw, at some point, a small piece of dead branch hanging on Ah Liang's butt.
There was a small bump on the dead branch, which just happened to poke A Liang's butt.
The talented young man is crying.
Boss Yang returned to his long-lost Jiedushi mansion.
"I've met the deputy envoy!"
"I met the deputy envoy."
Yang Xuan felt like an outsider, watching the officials respectfully step aside and salute and say hello.
He nodded slightly, like a tool man.
Why do you feel this way?
Yang Xuan entered the lobby, and Liu Qing was eating breakfast... a piece of Hu pancake, and he ate most of it.
"Zitai!"
Liu Qing raised the Hu cake in his hand and warmly invited him to enjoy it together.
"You eat yours, I've eaten it."
Yang Xuan sat down.
"What did you eat?"
"I had steamed buns for breakfast. It was cold, so I made mutton soup and added some sauce. I was sweating after eating."
"The old man who said that is a little envious."
"You can do it at home later."
"The woman wanted to eat roasted mutton in the morning, and I thought it would be troublesome, so I asked someone to make biscuits."
"Hu cakes are the most delicious when paired with steamed buns. Take a bite of the cakes, another bite of the steamed buns, and a sip of the soup. Hey! Combining dry and wet dishes makes you not tired of eating."
"That makes sense. I will definitely try it tomorrow."
"You can also try it at noon."
"That's fine." Liu Qing ordered, "I'll have Hu pancakes and steamed buns for lunch."
"yes."
The clerk agreed and went to the kitchen to explain.
All levels of government offices in the Tang Dynasty had their own canteens, which was also a benefit.
After eating Hu cakes and drinking a sip of tea, this day filled with fireworks has begun beautifully.
The boss was very helpful today. He didn't even try to be lazy. Instead, he and Liu Qing handled official matters together.
There were a lot of people, and Boss Yang was very decisive in making decisions, so the speed at which official matters were handled increased accordingly.
"No more?"
Liu Qing looked up and saw the empty lobby, and couldn't help but said happily: "Oh! It's rare to have some free time today, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"It's cold." Yang Xuan's weather was just right. According to his wife's instructions, there should be less wind.
"You have practiced before, so what are you afraid of? Let's go!"
I was chatting like a teenager...Liu Qing, who had stolen half a day's free time, was in high spirits, and he and Yang Xuan went out of the city for a walk.
The late autumn wind blows through the northern wilderness, and the fields are withered. Withered yellow grass and falling leaves, the wind blows by, bringing with it waves of whistling sounds.
Occasionally, you can see a bird flying hard in the sky. Maybe it is left behind or it may be a single bird.
"Recently, there have been a lot of people around our northern Xinjiang area."
Liu Qing took a deep breath, the cold air stinging his lungs.
"This is pressure." Yang Xuan rubbed his forehead, feeling sore, "After all, Chang'an has Zhengshuo's righteousness. If there is external pressure, there will be people inside who will make noise."
"You will take care of the powerful, but I don't dare to do so now." Liu Qing said with a smile, "They are all a bunch of tough people."
"Do great things without cherishing your own life." Yang Xuan felt that Yuan Benchu was related to these powerful men.
"I'm thinking about what would happen if the person from Chang'an knew your identity."
"He will not hesitate to raise a large army to attack northern Xinjiang."
"He's not worried about failure?"
"For the sake of power, he will instinctively go crazy."
"I have been thinking about when to raise the flag."
"Are you worried that I am impatient to raise the flag?"
"Yes, you brought Han Ji in. I subconsciously thought of this. Zitai, if you raise the flag right now..." Liu Qing looked at him, "The Tang Dynasty will be destroyed."
"I know." Yang Xuan smiled.
"You have to know the thoughts of the people in the world." Liu Qing seemed to have endured these words for a long time and said them smoothly, "I have been honoring the emperor for many years. To be honest, when the emperor was still alive, the people only knew this.
The prince is interesting."
"I know that when people know my identity, they may sympathize with me, but they may also be disgusted."
"Yes, because this identity will bring war."
"I'm not in a hurry."
"There is no need to rush." Liu Qing put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, "The world is a bit bad, but the people of the Central Plains are like this. Before people starve to death on a large scale, they will choose to endure.
Compared with hunger, they are more afraid of war. If you raise the flag at this time, everyone in the world will think you are..."
"It's going well." Yang Xuan smiled.
Liu Qing pointed at him and smiled, "Yes! Things are going well. So, we have to wait."
"Actually, I have been watching Chang'an." Yang Xuan felt that Liu Qing was becoming more and more serious, that is, he was becoming more and more like an old fox. "He introduced Liang Jing into the court because he wanted to have one more variable and one more person to contain.
The chess pieces of Yang Songcheng and others.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jing entered the court, triggering Yang Songcheng's backlash, so Zhang Chumao became the military governor of Southern Xinjiang.
Then Yang Songcheng was eyeing Northern Xinjiang. Think about it, if Northern Xinjiang fell into Yang Songcheng's hands again..."
"Aristocratic families don't rebel!" Liu Qing almost subconsciously said the answer in the hearts of people all over the world.
"With a sharp weapon in hand, murderous intent arises." Yang Xuan said: "If I hold an army in southern and northern Xinjiang, even if I am of ordinary origin and have no hatred against the false emperor, I think I will still have reverie.
What's even worse is that his subordinates will also have other thoughts."
"Who are Han Ji and others?" Liu Qing turned around and glanced at Han Ji behind him, "This person is unruly, so I will obey you."
It seems that Lao Liu has been observing Han Ji for a long time.
Yang Xuan nodded, "If the world is in good order, then naturally no one will have a different intention. The world is gradually becoming chaotic, and if you have a sharp weapon in your hand, you will definitely have a murderous intention."
"This is a trend." Liu Qing sighed: "Back then, I said that the Tang Dynasty would last for thousands of years, but the father and son had only been on the throne for a few years, and it turned out to be like this."
"I'm waiting."
Yang Xuan turned around and looked in the direction of Chang'an, "I have a vague feeling that this world is about to change. When big changes occur, the entire Tang Dynasty will be shaken."
"Chaos and thinking about governance."
"Yes. At that time, I will lead the army south. This will be the general trend."
Yang Xuan has been thinking about the general trend.
He looked through history books and looked at the successes and failures of those historical figures.
When the Chen State was weak, there were some people who were talented and capable of being a wise ruler. After the rebellion, they had a smooth journey and soon gathered an army of one hundred thousand troops.
Logically speaking, the lord is wise and the army is sharp, so it should be done, right?
without!
At that time, although the Chen State was the afterglow of the empire, it still had great righteousness. An army of ten thousand people was assembled to attack, and the march was unstoppable.
Thousands of people against a hundred thousand are overwhelming.
Are officers and soldiers really so sharp?
Yang Xuan thinks not, this is the general trend.
Although the state of Chen was in decline at that time, its great righteousness was still there.
The officers and soldiers attacked with the belief in wiping out the rebellion in their hearts, and they were magnificent.
Although the rebels are large in number and well-trained, they are rebellious!
Rebellion is shameful.
He became panicked when he saw the officers and soldiers.
This is a battle determined by mentality.
The mentality is determined by the general trend.
"I see!"
Yang Xuan suddenly understood.
"Have you figured it out?" Liu Qing did not interrupt his thinking and was enjoying the autumn scenery.
"Now that I am raising an army, even if I win consecutive battles, the people of the world will not support me.
In their eyes, I, the son of the former prince, am a trouble.
Give them, the traitors who bring trouble to the world.
When everyone in the world thinks that our Northern Xinjiang Army is a traitor, the officers and soldiers in the army will consciously or unconsciously put on a label called rebel.
They will feel guilty and afraid when they encounter the large army from the DPRK...
The beginning was brilliant, but the end was bleak.”
This is what is called clearing the way for the king.
Liu Qing praised, "I have never seen anyone analyze the general trend so clearly, so good."
It seemed that the old man specially invited Yang Xuan to come out and talk about the matter, and then went back after explaining it clearly.
Han Ji stepped forward, "What Lang Jun said is true. Now that we are taking action, justice is not on Lang Jun's side. Under the general situation, we will inevitably feel panic."
The strategic direction of this small group was decided outside Taoxian County.
"It's just, when is the opportunity?"
The old thief looked a little anxious.
Wang Laoer asked: "Old thief, what are you so anxious about?"
"I am anxious to become a general." The old thief also glanced at the boss, hoping that the boss would give him an encouragement.
Yang Xuan smiled and didn't answer.
It's a good thing for your subordinates to have ambitions. If they all have the same temperament as Ning Yayun, then why bother asking for trouble? Just open a Taoist temple and everyone will become a Taoist priest.
Liu Qing returned to the city.
Someone came to ask for instructions.
"There is an envoy from Dengzhou."
"Call in."
The envoy from Dengzhou came in with his head held high and his chest high, "I have met Liu Sima."
"What's the matter?" Liu Qing was also polite.
Once Northern Xinjiang collapses, he, a traitor and confidant, will be the first to be executed, and his family will either be exiled to Southern Xinjiang or Western Xinjiang.
Therefore, from the moment he decided to help Xiao Zaizi, Liu Qing had already tied his life and death, as well as the honor and disgrace of his family, to Yang Xuan.
Sharing weal and woe!
Even if the envoy from the imperial court came, Liu Qing would still be in this posture.
Come, just come.
If you don't like it, get out!
In fact, Liu Qing had no good impression of the pseudo-emperor and his son at all. Northern Xinjiang's turn from prosperity to decline was due to the work of this father and son.
If the majesty of the emperor had not lasted for many years, and the pattern of monarch and ministers was unshakable, how many people in northern Xinjiang would have shouted like him that he is a foolish emperor.
The envoy said: "Our Dengzhou Army was practicing a while ago, and a sergeant entered Northern Xinjiang and disappeared. Please tell Deputy Envoy Yang that our army wants to enter Northern Xinjiang to find the missing sergeant."
Missing.
Find.
Liu Qing said calmly: "When did an army general dare to take risks for the sake of a missing sergeant? Is that sergeant the illegitimate son of a nobleman in Chang'an, or a prince's grandson who was disguised and hanging around in the army?"
When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the generals and soldiers were of the same mind. Nowadays, estrangements have gradually developed in the army. Generals are generals, and soldiers are soldiers. The loss of a sergeant is only a small matter to the generals.
Is it worth falling out with Beijiang over this?
Not worth it!
Yang Laohu is here, but someone dares to come to ask for wildfire.
Liu Qing thought of the general trend.
Yang Xuan explained the general trend very thoroughly, but he said a little less.
Who controls the general trend?
emperor!
If this kind of external pressure goes on for a long time, internal changes will occur.
"Please come to the deputy envoy."
Boss Yang was in a good mood and led a group of people to have a barbecue outside the city.
The wind was strong and the flames were scattered.
I can’t bake it!
"Burn into charcoal!" Jiang He'er said.
Yang Xuan gave a thumbs up, "He is indeed the best in the world!"
Jiang He'er said proudly: "That's right."
"Deputy Ambassador."
A minor official rode out of the city and found Yang Xuan. "An envoy from Dengzhou has come. Sima asked the deputy envoy to go back."
Yang Xuan looked at the roasted half-cooked mutton and said, "Let him wait."
Clerk: "..."
Jiang Heer was flipping the barbecue while Wang Laoer was squatting beside him to fan himself.
Han Ji sniffed, "Smells good!"
He said nothing about the messenger.
Yang Xuan didn't mention it either.
Everyone tacitly waited for the barbecue to be cooked.
"alright."
Jiang Heer held up a piece of mutton, which was slightly burnt on the outside and still sizzling with oil.
Yang Xuan took it, and Suzaku's voice came to his ears, "Barbecuing is harmful to health."
Not eating will harm your health!
Yang Xuan took a bite and said, "Beautiful!"
Han Ji was impatient and said, "Give me a piece."
The two of them had a barbecue together and then walked back to the city in the car.
Before entering the city, Yang Xuan threw away the bones in his hand.
"This is a bad person!" Han Ji said.
"They have never been kind." Yang Xuan wiped his hands with a towel and handed it to Jiang He'er.
"You're asking me to do this!" Jiang He'er shouted, folding the handkerchief and washing it when he got back.
When they arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Han Ji asked, "Why is Mr. Lang relieved?"
Are you afraid of something?
Yang Xuan patted his lower abdomen, "I have been recovering from illness recently, and I have gained some fat. I just ate a large piece of barbecue. I don't know how much fat I will gain."
"Then let me go this way..."
“Not only does it eliminate food, it also helps you gain weight.”
It’s not easy to lose weight!
The messenger was standing in the lobby. There was no tea, let alone a seat.
"The deputy envoy is here."
The messenger turned sideways.
"I've met Deputy Ambassador Yang."
Yang Xuan nodded, came in and asked, "What's the matter?"
The messenger said it again.
"Sergeant lost?"
Yang Xuan looked at the messenger, "Whose idea was it?"
Messenger, "What did you say?"
Yang Xuan said impatiently: "Whose idea is it?"
The messenger said: "I really don't know what you are talking about, little man."
Yang Xuan chuckled and said, "This is putting pressure on me! You are so righteous."
The envoy said: "Not a single soldier of the Dengzhou Army will set foot in Northern Xinjiang without the approval of Deputy Envoy Yang."
This was said with great awe.
"Why do I sound timid?" Liu Qing said.
While howling, a soldier is missing and we need to come in to find him.
At the same time, he said that if you, Boss Yang, don't nod, we promise not to go too far.
The color is sharp and the heart is soft.
This is coercion!
The purpose is not to send troops, but to use force to suppress others.
What should we do about this matter?
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
The deputy envoy will most likely be angry, then scold and expel the envoy.
