The prime ministers and assistants of the three provinces walked out of the palace one after another. It was not yet time to go to the Yamen, so they either turned left to enter Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, or turned right to enter Xiamen.
Yu Wenshiji, the minister of Zhongshu who had been waiting for him, came up to greet him. He smiled and greeted Yang Gongren and Feng Lun of Zhongshu, and whispered something in a low voice.
Yang Gongren's face was calm, Feng Lun shook his head with a regretful expression, Yu Wenshiji sighed: "Qinghe County Duke has only one son..."
After sighing for a moment, Yu Wenshiji's eyes fell not far away. That was Pei Shiju, the last minister to step out of the palace gate.
In the pre-Sui Dynasty, Pei Shiju was one of the seven nobles who selected Cao Cao, and he was very famous. Yu Wenshi was only a junior at that time, but the look he cast at this time was not respectful at all.
Pei Shiju knew very well that there were three people who were completely sure to know the inside story, one was Li Shan's future Taishan Cui Xin, one was Princess Pingyang, and the other was Yuwen Shiji.
The first two had a close relationship with Li Shan, while Yu Wenshi and... Pei Shiju only remembered from his son-in-law Li Dewu's sarcastic words that these guys also abandoned their wives and children.
Although he didn't know why Yu Wenshiji cared so much about Li Shan, and Pei Shiju had never studied psychology, he could vaguely sense that this guy wanted to see a joke.
But this time, Pei Shiju didn't feel guilty at all. This time he really didn't do anything!
Or to put it another way, I haven’t had time to do it yet.
Just as Ling Jing and others speculated, the news that Wang Renyou caused trouble in Pingkangfang and that Li Shan was trapped in Guji Town spread widely. Pei Shiju did think twice and sent the news outside the Great Wall.
It's just that Pei Shiju hasn't found any good way, after all, it's still during the war, and then... Then Ashina She'er led five thousand cavalry to attack Hedong through Daoloufan Pass, and successively attacked Taiyuan Prefecture, Xinzhou,
Daizhou and other places.
Coupled with the rebellion of Niu Bin, Guo Ziheng and others... Li Shan went out of the fortress and the sudden arrival of the Turks was not a secret in Daizhou officialdom.
Therefore, in the Liangyi Palace today, facing Princess Pingyang's eyes, and facing Yu Wenshiji at this time, Pei Shiju was not panic at all... If it was me or Li Dewu who had done something before, but this time, it was Li Huairen himself.
Are you going to die?!
If he hadn't planned to build Guji Town, if he hadn't recruited Yuan Junzhang, if he hadn't been trying to capture him alive... would this situation have happened?
Watching Pei Shiju enter the lower province, Yuwen Shiji returned to the Zhongshu Province with a sullen face. Everything was quiet, officials and clerks walked lightly, and not many people focused their attention on the two people.
One is Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, the Minister of Public Affairs, who looked at the official document with an expressionless face. Many people know that his brother Wen Dayou, the former Duke of Qinghe County, and his only son Wen Bang, who returned from Wuyuan County, are trapped in Guji Town.
The other is Cui Xin, who is holding a pen in his right hand, grinding it in his left hand, and his sleeves are trembling slightly.
Just now, Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to order Cui Xin to draft an edict. Your Majesty issued an edict... Li Yuan issued an order that left many people speechless.
Li Jing, the Duke of Yongkang County, was appointed as the general manager of Daizhou. He defeated the Turks and consolidated Yanmen. The Dai area was dealt with by one of them...
This edict is basically nonsense. The general jurisdiction of Daizhou is Daizhou, Shuozhou, Xinzhou, and Yuzhou. He has military and political power in his hands, so Li Jing naturally has full authority to handle it.
But those who can sneak into Zhongshu Province are all smart... The meaning of this edict is very obvious. On the premise of ensuring that Yanmen Pass is safe, whether to go out to pursue the Turks, whether to aid Mayi and Guji Town, it all depends on
It will be chosen by Li Jing, the general manager of Daizhou.
It was a very bastard's edict, so when Cui Xin was drafting the edict, his sleeves were trembling... With this edict, the son-in-law almost stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.
This edict reflects Li Yuan's character to a great extent, he is not strong enough and decisive... He wants to go to war, but he is ambiguous and refuses to give a definite edict.
Many people in later generations commented that Li Yuan was not strong enough and concluded that the reason was that the fight for the right to inherit the throne eventually led to the collapse of the Xuanwu Sect... This judgment cannot be wrong, because in the feudal era, the inheritance of imperial power was a top priority.
Countless people present looked at Cui Xin with pity... Today's battle report has spread, more than 100,000 troops are besieging Guji Town, and the life of the king of Handan County is at stake.
In just three years, a young man who was abandoned by his father could reach this stage, which made Yu Wenshi unbelievable. Is this the end of this young man who was gentle and elegant in front of him, but who showed his sharpness after going out to the capital several times?
Yu Wenshiji was a little sad and sad, it would be easy to die after too much wisdom.
At this time, Cui Xin had already drafted the edict, and Yang Gongren signed and sealed it expressionlessly, and was about to send Cui Xin to the province... Yu Wenshiji got there first and asked Lu Chisong, another member of Zhongshushe, to come forward.
Let Cui Xin go back home to rest temporarily.
Yu Wenshiji knew the inside story, and Cui Xin couldn't help but have a fight with Pei Shiju when he was in Menxia Province...it would have caused a big fuss, although everyone didn't believe that Pei Shiju didn't take action.
With no expression on his face, Cui Xin packed up and left the imperial city. As soon as he arrived at the door of his home, before he even got off the carriage, the concierge reported outside that Mr. Sanlang of the Zhang family had already arrived.
Zhang Wenguan has been in Chang'an for more than a year. His social circle overlaps greatly with that of Li Shan. He has frequent contacts with Yang Siyi, the son of Yang Gongren, the secretary of the Yang family in Hongnong, and often inquires about military intelligence and battle reports in the North.
"Uncle."
Cui Xinchong pressed his chin inside, Zhang Wenguan shook his head, hesitated and whispered: "The news has spread, and my aunt already knows it."
Cui Xin paused, paced back and forth a few steps, his face full of melancholy... Ever since the article "Ai Lian Shuo" was published last year, his daughter and Li Huairen have been inseparable, and they went to Mayi to force Yuan Junzhang to surrender.
, he and Li Huairen couldn't break up, but now...
Zhang Wenguan came closer and said cautiously: "Uncle..."
"The sage has issued an edict that Li Yaoshi will be in charge of the war in the North." Cui Xin's face was expressionless.
Zhang Wenguan's face changed drastically and he blurted out: "It is said that Brother Demou was the one who advocated sending troops and was punished by the official of Yongkang County..."
Cui Xin's expression also changed. If Li Jing refused to send troops, then Guji Town would be unlucky... Do you want to visit your cousin Li Keshi?
It probably had no effect. On the one hand, Li Kai was scolded by the cane, and on the other hand, Li Keshi's position was that he was an official in Tiance Mansion.
"aunt."
Hearing Zhang Wenguan's reminder, Cui Xin turned around and saw his frightened wife Zhang rushing over. He forced a smile and said: "The decision has not been made yet, but there may be hope."
Zhang's voice was slightly sharp, "More than 100,000 troops besieged the city... why not let Eleven Niang..."
Although Zhang didn't finish what he said, Cui Xin and Zhang Wenguan couldn't understand... Now Cui Shiniang is still taking care of Zhu day and night at Li's house in Sun Moon Lake.
After a pause, Zhang Wenguan raised his head and said: "In fairness, the Prince of Handan County is famous all over the world. He has made great achievements by hanging outside the Great Wall. How can I abandon him at this time?"
"On a personal note, Brother Huairen's life or death has not yet been decided. My aunt urgently summoned my cousin back home. Aren't I afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
