The day before Yunchu's army was ordered to march eastward, Prince Li Hong captured a young man named Changsun Yan. He was told that he was the eldest grandson of the late Zhao Guogong Changsun Wuji.
In the Tang Dynasty, where people often pretended to be descendants of other people's families, people did not believe such deceptive lies.
Of course, Prince Li Hong didn't believe it either.
After Yunchu met Changsun Yan, he confirmed that this person was Changsun Chong's eldest son, Changsun Yan. However, he did not admit that this person was the real Changsun Yan.
"Why can't you figure it out so much?"
After the prince and eldest grandson Yan were the only ones left in the tent, Yun Chu said rather sadly.
Changsun Yan had no expression on his face and said nothing.
Yun Chu knocked on the table and said, "How are you, Brother Changsun?"
When the eldest grandson Yan saw Yunchu asking about his father, he specifically answered: "My father passed away two years ago."
Yun Chu was silent for a moment and said, "What a pity."
After saying this, Yunchu walked out of the tent, leaving the place to his cousins Li Hong and Changsun Yan.
Yun Chu looked at the soldiers who were busy breaking out of camp and didn't want to speak much, but Wen Wen came over and said: "When His Majesty the Dragon controls Bintian and the Queen dies, the Changsun family will definitely be re-employed by the imperial court.
The reason why His Majesty wants to deal with Duke Zhao so cruelly is simply because Duke Zhao is too powerful. Once Duke Zhao's power is eliminated, it is natural for him to be reactivated even for the sake of Queen Wende.
Now that Changsun Yan has confirmed his rebellion, there will no longer be a Changsun family in the world."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I think this is quite good. Rather than having to endure the humiliation and inherit a powerless Zhao Guogong and live a meager life in the future, it is better to explode once and at least let out the bad breath in my chest."
Gentle sighed and said: "Now I think of Changsun Chong's literary talent as if it was yesterday."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "He may be the best consort in the Tang Dynasty. I heard that Emperor Taizong doted on Princess Changle and specially used some of the best consorts in history, Xie Hun (grandson of Xie An, son of Xie Yan), Liu Dun (son of Xie An, son of Xie Yan)
Liu Zhenchang) and Wang Xianzhi (Wang Zijing) found it as standards.
Finally found Changsun Chong.
It's a pity that a generation of romantic figures has finally become a piece of loess, and now, only the bones are left."
Wen Wen nodded and said: "After my death, if I can reach the title of Duke, I will make a jade suit with golden threads and inlay the skin and flesh into it. In this way, I will be priceless even after my death."
Yun Chu glanced at Wen Wen and saw that he could come up with such a retarded idea. He was deeply worried about his future, because tomb robbers liked people like him the most.
"Come and help me with the tomb passage mechanism."
Wen Wen was clearly not stupid, so she immediately made some additions.
"Simple, I have a method here. You can burn stones to get a kind of lime. After it solidifies when exposed to water, I will add steel bars and iron plates to the lime slurry, and then cast a stone on the spot that is ten feet thick from top to bottom, left and right.
A giant house, and then use steel bars and lime to connect the house to a stone mountain, so that you can sleep in it for thousands of years without any worries."
"What if I'm resurrected?"
"It doesn't matter. I will design the door to open inwards. If you wake up, you can just open the door and come out by yourself."
Just when the two were joking to relieve their mood, Li Hong came out with red eyes, as if he had just cried.
"When I was young, Changsun Yan still carried me on his back."
Wen Wen glanced at Li Hong's sleeves and said, "So, you smeared ginger juice on your sleeves?"
Li Hong sighed and said: "I really want to cry, but unfortunately, I can't cry, so I have to do this."
Yun Chu said: "Where is Changsun Yan?"
Li Hong sniffed and said, "Just beheaded."
"How many people need to be punished?"
"There is nothing we can do. After the trial, at least 600 people were beheaded."
Wen Wen said: "Can't you be beheaded immediately?"
Li Hong shook his head and said: "No, someone from my father's side will come to interrogate him. I have already exceeded my authority by killing Changsun Yan."
Yun Chu said: "Who is coming?"
Li Hongdao: "Chizhen, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple in Luoyang."
Hearing this, Wen Rou immediately said to Yun Chu and Li Hong, "Hu people."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet a Cypriot in the Tang Dynasty. It's really rare."
Li Hong perked up after hearing this and immediately asked, "Are you from Naha's tribe?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, the Yuchi clan originated from the Sai people. Later, during the wars in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they were conquered by the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, and finally became the Yuchi clan of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe.
This is how the Cypriot tribe is. They follow whoever is strong. If a boss is unlucky, they will change to another boss and continue to follow. Many bosses have perished, but they are fine. After Naha became the queen of the Cypriots, their
Life is obviously getting better, and judging from their perverted ability to have children, it is only a matter of time before they grow stronger."
Li Hong remembered that Naha had been with him for seven days and then ran away pregnant, while the Crown Princess's belly had not moved for more than a year, so he agreed with Yun Chu's statement that the Sai people's greatest ability was to give birth to children.
"His Majesty sent Yu Chizhen to take charge of the case, which shows that he will not allow outsiders to interfere this time. Therefore, this time, the clans in Shandong and Hebei that are related to the Bingling case may be His Majesty's first choice for flag sacrifice."
Yunchu asked Li Hong again: "You have recruited so many thieves here, and some of them have made great contributions to you. How do you plan to deal with these people?"
Li Hongdao: "Lou Shide will be here tomorrow. I have given full authority to this matter to Lou Shide. He should be able to handle it well."
Yun Chu had seen Lou Shide's performance over the years. He was a very capable person. No matter whether it was a big or small matter in the East Palace, there was nothing he couldn't handle.
Although he was in charge of more than 300 farmland affairs of the Eastern Palace throughout the Tang Dynasty, he managed it in an orderly manner, and he was humble and polite. Even the emperor and the empress praised him many times, thinking that he was a good guest of the prince. The empress
Several times he proposed to the prince that Lou Shide be stationed in the Shaofu Prison, but Li Hong refused.
However, even with Lou Shide on the outside and Xu Jingzong on the inside, Yunchu still felt that Li Hong needed an enterprising person around him.
Lou Shide is a practical person, but he is unable to fight against the officials in the court. Xu Jingzong is old and lacks energy. God knows when he will die of old age. Therefore, Yunchu thought that Zhang Jianzhi has been unable to do so in these years.
After training in Tuyuhun, it's time to enter the East Palace and serve as the prince's guest.
Pei Xingjian's army has crossed the Yellow River and entered Jeju, and has officially set foot on Shandong and Hebei. According to the military report from General Pei Xingjian, when the army crossed the river, it was under the strong pressure of Pei Shouzhen, the governor of Jeju.
Enough ships were collected to allow the army to cross the Yellow River smoothly.
Pei Xingjian and Pei Shouzhen were of the same clan, but they were from different families. The emperor's eastward tour was naturally supported by Pei Shouzhen. Unfortunately, as an official in Jeju, there was not much he could do. This time, Pei Xingjian's army was eyeing him.
Only then did Pei Shouzhen have enough courage and courage to cut ties with the Shandong nobles.
Once the emperor's central army crosses the river in Jeju or Caozhou, the battle between the emperor and the nobles in Shandong and Hebei will completely heat up. By then, the situation he will face will be much more complicated than that south of the Yellow River.
Not to mention, Prince Li Hong wants to take the opportunity to get involved at this time. It will be impossible without a smart and experienced person around him.
It had been half a month since Zhang Jianzhi came to Yunchu's army. Ever since he left Tyuhun and returned to the Central Plains, Yunchu had not seen him, which made him nervous and uneasy all day long.
Zhang Jianzhi is very clear about how much Yunchu pays attention to practical interests, and his fight with Li Jingye in Tuguhun did not achieve any actual benefits. On the contrary, because of their fight, the originally good wealthy man was destroyed.
, the powerful Tuyuhun tore it into pieces, and turned Tuyuhun from a fertile land with windblown grass and low visibility of cattle and sheep, to a barren place where even wild wolves have no prey.
Fei Jiu smiled and came to the tent where Zhang Jianzhi was placed. As soon as he entered, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Zhang Jianzhi looked at the pimple-faced man who had suppressed him for two years in Tyuhun with complicated emotions, and returned the greeting with an expressionless expression: "Mr. Fatty, where does a certain family's happiness come from?"
Fei Jiu said: "The prince is attracted to you."
Zhang Jianzhi couldn't help but feel his heart tremble and said in a trembling voice: "Is it true?"
Fei Jiu put his pock-marked face close to Zhang Jianzhi's ear and whispered: "The master originally wanted you to go to Yinshan to graze and continue to supply cattle and sheep to Chang'an. However, after looking at your past, the prince said that you are also a talent.
, so he opened his mouth to ask for it from the master of the house.
The head of the family has been thinking about it for a long time, and is deeply afraid that you will not be able to bear the expectations of His Highness the Crown Prince, which will bring shame to the head of the family, and ruin the affairs of the prince, so he ordered me to ask you: Can you make it?"
Zhang Jianzhi knelt down on the ground with a pop, raised his hands and swore: "I dare not break my body to pieces to repay the favor of the prince."
Fei Jiu licked his lips and said, "Actually, I'm quite optimistic about you. You can pull together a team in the barren land of Tuguhun. Even though it's useless, it's still very valuable.
The head of the family said, you go directly to see the prince. If the prince likes you, you will work in the East Palace from now on. If the prince doesn't like you, you can continue to raise cattle and sheep in Yinshan Mountain. This will be of some use."
Zhang Jianzhi choked and said: "This is nature, this is nature."
Fei Jiu glanced at Zhang Jianzhi and said, "Let's go. This is the last chance given to you by the head of the family who took pity on you for not being able to seek an official position for many years. It can also be regarded as compensation for your ten years of hard work in Tuyuhun. The future path depends on you."
It’s created by nature.”
Zhang Jianzhi stood up and said: "In the future, I will obey your orders."
Fei Jiu stopped and looked at Zhang Jianzhi seriously: "You know, what the head of the family hates the most is the people who are here and there. From now on, your master can only be the prince. From now on, you will never be with the Yun family again."
No complications.”
Zhang Jianzhi said in disbelief: "Mr. Fei, please rest assured that Zhang Jianzhi is not an ungrateful person."
A whip flew out of Fei Jiu's cuffs and hit Zhang Jianzhi hard on the face. He shouted angrily: "With this whip, you will never be sworn in with the Yun family!"
