On the way to Daguan Lingguan Office, Yunchu saw a shop selling sesame oil and picked out the signboard with these four words.
Lao Yangpi stood under the signboard, and the huge signboard seemed to be carried on his back, like an old turtle dragging a giant monument.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and one of them even touched Lao Sheepskin's black sheepskin cloak.
Even so, Lao Yangpi seemed to have only Yunchu in his eyes.
Yunchu said to Lao Yangpi: "It's not that bitter. You need to use your own hands to gain your own happiness. Only those who cannot gain it will feel pain.
I have never complained about life among the Uighur tribe, and I will not complain about life among the Tang people either.
In my past life, I have learned a truth, which is to live well and try not to let other things affect me from living the life I want to live.
Mr. Shi, you should also think this way, and live your short life as well as possible, so that you can smile before you die."
"Yun Chu, take me to Chang'an."
He didn't believe a word Lao Yangpi said to Yun Chu, just like Yun Chu didn't believe a word he said.
Yun Chu took out a business card from his arms, put it lightly on Lao Yangpi's hand and said: "Go by yourself, I know you are unwilling to do so. Four years ago, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally hosted Master Xuanzang.
Entering the Daci'en Temple to ascend the throne.
I learned from the documents that the temple built under the leadership of the current Khan is extremely beautiful with its rainbow caisson, painted clouds, Qiongchu copper tower, and golden ring pavilion. You can go and see it.
I think, with Master Xuanzang's compassion, he will definitely take you in, protect you, and ensure that you can live the life you want in the country of the Tang Dynasty."
Lao Yangpi shook his head gently and said: "I have been waiting here for six years, just waiting for you to go back together."
Yun Chu's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he immediately calmed down and said with a smile, "Why me?"
Lao Yangpi looked up at the sky, seeming to be lost in memories. After a while, he looked back at Yun Chu and said seriously: "When Xuanzang and I were crossing the vast sea, we encountered a lonely mountain peak.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain to rest, a stone that Xuanzang was leaning on cracked, and there was a monk sitting cross-legged inside.
After the monk opened his eyes, he asked Xuanzang: In which Buddha year is the prosperous era now?
Xuanzang said: It is Amitabha Buddha.
The monk asked again: Where has the lamp-burning Buddha gone?
Xuanzang said: "Natural is Nirvana, and natural is returning to nothingness.
The monk added: "I have slept for a hundred and six thousand years. I thought the world would have returned to peace long ago, but I didn't expect it is still so noisy. It's better to go to sleep. Go to sleep."
Just when the monk was about to enter silence again, he opened his eyes again, looked at Qiuci not far away and said: Interesting, interesting, so interesting.
After saying that, he sank into the ground."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "You think I'm the interesting one?"
Lao Yangpi frowned and said, "I'm not sure. Xuanzang left and asked me to stay just because he wanted to see what the interesting thing was.
Five years ago, after I saw you in the Aries department, I found you to be the most interesting person and thing I have ever found.
Therefore, when I go to the Tang Dynasty, you should go with me. I have not cultivated Buddhism well, but Xuanzang has practiced very well. Let him see if you are as interesting as the monk said."
As Lao Yangpi spoke, he raised his hand and tore up the business office that Yun Chu placed in his hand. With a gentle blow, the pieces of paper fell to the ground like butterflies.
Yun Chu looked at Lao Yangpi's back and said, "I won't change my plan, and I won't change my plan because of anyone!"
Lao Yangpi stood in the crowd and looked back at Yun Chu: "Why bother?"
As Lao Yangpi blended into the crowd and disappeared, Yun Chu couldn't help but shiver. When he looked up again, he could truly feel the scorching sun above his head and the noisy crowd around him.
"Don't be intimidated by what he said. No one can know the ins and outs of me..."
Yun Chu muttered to himself and walked into the official office of Daguan Ling.
Habitually moving past Fang Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, Yun Chu sat on the short table in the corner, opened the document he was going to read, abandoned his distracting thoughts, and started reading seriously.
When Fang Zheng woke up, the reed mat was already covered with his sweat. He picked up the water jar and drank heavily. He looked back at Yun Chu who was sitting quietly in the corner reading documents and said: "Except for reading documents."
, besides writing letters to people, is there nothing else you can do?
A young man should look like a young man.
It’s also a good idea to go to the venue and watch the orchids dancing without clothes. Some orchids don’t smell that strong.
You shut yourself up in the yamen every day like this, you don't look like a young man at all."
Yun Chu said lazily: "I'm going to treat a few of you to dinner."
"You are the least juvenile person I have ever met."
Fang Zheng had no intention of letting go of the opportunity to educate Yun Chu.
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "Don't I really look like a young man?"
Fang Zheng laughed and said: "When I was your age, I never stopped for a moment, running horses, fighting cocks, hunting, fighting, beating my husband, bullying little girls, I was either on the way or being beaten all day long.
"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I don't like being beaten, it's better like this."
Fang Zheng put down the water bottle and said, "I have a brother-in-law."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Brother-in-law is indeed very powerful."
"He thinks what you said is very reasonable."
"What I said makes sense. You should say it first. It's what I said."
"Renovate Kucha City and then impose heavy taxes."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I never said this, and I have no intention of rebuilding Kucha City.
If we repair the city walls and gates and then impose heavy taxes, we will cause trouble for ourselves. At that time, you will no longer have time to sleep in, and I will have no time to be idle."
Fang Zheng sighed and said, "If we don't build city walls, gates, or collect taxes, our good days are basically over."
Yun Chu remembered what Lao Yangpi said before leaving, and his heart suddenly sank, he looked up at Fang Zheng and said, "What happened?"
Fang Zheng sighed and said: "The leader of the Western Turks, Ashina Helu, established himself as Sabolo Khan.
In March, Shabolu Khan invaded Tingzhou, went to Jinling City and Pulei County, and killed 727 Tang soldiers, civilians and merchants!"
Yun Chu stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the document to me."
Fang Zheng took out a crumpled document from his sleeve, and Yun Chu took it and read it while asking: "What is the court's attitude towards this matter? After all, the matter happened in March, plus the early research and judgment time,
The court should have some countermeasures at this time, right?"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and said: "It's easy to say that there were no casualties among the Tang people. There were more than 700 dead. Although most of them were merchants, most of these merchants were the domestic slaves of our nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, this matter has reached the end of the world, and Ashina Helu has no other way out except to apologize with his own head."
Yunchu studied every word on it carefully and kept saying: "Tingzhou is fifteen hundred miles away from Qiuci, which means that if they are planning to cause trouble for us, they should be here soon."
Fang Zheng laughed evilly and said, "I'm afraid he won't come. He is coming soon, and our murderer king of the Tang Dynasty is also here. Let's see who can kill more people this time."
Yun Chu raised his head and said, "How do you say that?"
Fang Zheng took out another document from his sleeve and said: "When the news reached the capital, His Majesty was furious and sent General Liang Jianfang, General of the Wuhou, Qibi Heli, the General of the Right Xiaowei, as the general manager of Gongyue Road, and Gao Deyi, the General of the Right Xiaowei.
General Xue Gu and Wu Ren, the generals of Youwu Marquis, were appointed as deputy, and sent 30,000 soldiers from Qin, Cheng, Qi, and Yong Prefectures and 50,000 Uighur cavalry to attack them...
Liang Jianfang is here. This time, if a large number of the barbarians in the Western Regions are not killed, they will not be able to live up to the reputation of Wu Hou Liang Jianfang as the God of Killing.
This old guy is not an easy man. When he followed Emperor Taizong to conquer Goguryeo and was responsible for guarding the left wing of the army, he spent two full years killing almost all the Heishui Mohe barbarians.
This time, he's here... Hey, those barbarians are having a good time, they really like to seek death."
Yun Chu continued to read the documents, and read the two documents over and over several times, and finally asked: "Where is Marquis Wu?"
"Sandbar!"
"No, what happened in March, it makes no sense that none of us knew about it, but Chang'an knew about it in advance, and even prepared the army. The most outrageous thing is that the general who led the army has already entered the Western Region."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at Yun Chu and said, "What are you thinking about? That bastard named Ashina Helu killed more than 700 of our military, civilian and business people. He deserves to die that he will not survive this year, and the whole clan will not survive this year.
What we have to do is to repair the city of Kucha as soon as possible. The Ninth Regiment of Zhechong Prefecture is unwilling to station in Kucha because of Guo Xiaoke's tragic situation. When Wuhou and his old man come, they will definitely station in Kucha. We must rush to Wuhou
Before coming here, repair the walls of Kucha City and install the city gates as soon as possible. If it weren’t for the lack of water here, we might have to dig a moat.”
"Since your butt is on fire, why can you still fall asleep?"
Fang Zheng laughed and said: "There are only eleven people in our Daguan Ling Yamen. Do we rely on us to build the city walls and gates?
Don’t worry, my brother-in-law will bring someone here tomorrow.”
"Which brother-in-law?"
"Cao Pei Dongfeng, the Protector of the House."
Hearing what Fang Zheng said, Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief. After filing the two documents, he leaned far away from the charcoal-heated Fang Zheng at the door and said, "This means that these barbarians in the city will be used as laborers.
?”
Fang Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, people work as laborers to build the city and build the city gates. The livestock and grain they bring will be confiscated on the spot and used as military rations."
Yunchu shook his head with a smile and said: "If you do this, the newly prosperous Qiuci City will once again become a deserted city."
Fang Zheng took another sip of cold water and said, "Whatever, as long as Marquis Wu is satisfied, even if Qiuci is destroyed, it won't be a big deal.
No, Kucha City, our brothers might have to go to Xizhou to work as errands, where the conditions are better."
