Watching the guards carry the falcon climbing frame to the backyard, Zhou Jun waved to Hedari, indicating to sit down and talk.
The two of them were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. Zhou Jun asked Hedari: "Is the bone strength of Pero Khan better?"
Hedari: "My father wrote in a letter saying that with the elixir sent by Zhou Erlang, Khan's health has improved a bit. With the help of others, Khan can already walk on the ground, but there are still no signs of recovery."
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "I will find a way and ask for some fairy medicine."
Hedari heard this and quickly thanked him.
Zhou Jun asked Hedari again: "You have lived in Datang for a long time, are you used to it?"
Hedari nodded first, then shook his head hesitantly.
Zhou Jun was puzzled.
Hedari: "Compared to Uihe, the food and shelter in the Tang Dynasty are much better, and you can see great dramas every day. This is a life that the nobles of the clan dare not think about. But I always feel that the people here are
Life is too leisurely, making people feel like something is missing."
Zhou Jun understood the other party's thoughts.
When people stay in a comfortable environment for a long time, they will indeed feel a little uncomfortable.
So Zhou Jun said to Hedari: "Next time if I go to another place, I will take you with me so that you can experience the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty."
When Hedari heard this, he looked happy and thanked him again.
After staying in Bachuan Villa for a few more days, Zhou Jun was busy discussing the construction of Bachuan Commercial Street with Qu Sanweng, and at the same time he went to look after Xie Qin and Song Ruo'e from time to time.
Finally, it was the last day for Du Li to take leave. Zhou Jun went to Pang Gong's courtyard to say goodbye to his employer.
Entering the study, Mr. Pang was playing chess with Yin Darong. When he saw Zhou Jun coming in, he asked the latter to go to the desk to get a letter.
Zhou Jun did as he was told and took the letter over.
Pang Gong asked Zhou Jun to read the contents of the letter again.
Zhou Jun opened the letter and read it.
This letter was written by Li Linfu himself. The first half of the letter mentioned that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were demoted. Li Shizhi was frightened and asked the emperor to apologize. The situation in the court was very good, and King Shou was about to ascend the throne.
In the second half of the letter, the topic changed, and Li Linfu wrote that the prince now has a powerful foreign aid, which is Wang Zhongsi, who is also the military governor of the four directions. It is not easy to bring down this person.
Although Wang Zhongsi cannot be moved at the moment, we can start with the prince to shake the latter's position.
Zhou Jun looked at the specific methods carefully. Li Linfu hoped that Duke Pang would invite the servants in the palace to secretly meet with the courtiers as a covert warning to the saint that the prince might have treasonous intentions. He also persuaded King Shou to pay homage to Concubine Yang as a mother-in-law.
It is intended to show the saint's mind.
At the end of the letter, Li Linfu wrote that Zhou Erlang had made great contributions in exterminating the Turks and deserved a heavy responsibility. Now that Tubo and Tuyuhun invaded the Hexi and Longyou areas, Lin Fu planned to face the emperor and put Zhou Erlang under Wang Zhongsi's command.
use.
Zhou Jun read the entire letter from Li Linfu and understood everything from the beginning.
Only, at the end of the letter, Zhou Jun really couldn't figure it out.
He was not a military commander, nor was he an official in a feudal town. Why did Li Linfu place himself under Wang Zhongsi and say, "I will use it for the rest of my life"?
Putting the letter down, Zhou Jun looked at Pang Gong.
Pang Gong said: "Li Linfu arranged for you to be under Wang Zhongsi's command. Firstly, because you already have contacts with Shuofang's army. Placing you there will not cause a backlash from the Northern Fan. Secondly, because you are also talented and can be used in the army."
Wang Zhongsi’s men may be put to good use.”
Zhou Jun asked: "Pang Gong, Prime Minister Li arranged for me to serve under Wang Zhongsi. What do you want me to do specifically?"
Pang Gong thought for a moment and said: "Wang Zhongsi has great military exploits, strong soldiers and horses, and good relations with the courtiers and the palace. If you want to attack from the outside, it will be very difficult. According to Li Linfu's usual style, it is just to let him
You monitor and investigate, and after you find evidence, you can report Wang Zhongsi to the saint."
Zhou Jun listened and nodded slowly.
However, Zhou Jun still had doubts in his heart. Was Li Linfu really just placing him under Wang Zhongsi just for surveillance and reporting?
There were probably a lot of Li Linfu's spies around Wang Zhongsi. Surveillance and reporting could be done without Zhou Jun at all.
At this time, Pang Gong asked Zhou Jun: "Erlang, are you willing to go to Hexi and Longyou? The environment there is harsh and the military is dangerous... If you don't want to, we will quit this job for you."
Zhou Jun thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons of the matter, and finally replied: "I am willing."
Pang Gong nodded and said: "Since you are willing, Erlang, don't worry too much. Beifan has many opportunities to gain military exploits and is a good place for promotion. You go and work with peace of mind. If Li Linfu has any advice, just tell our family that there is no need
Worry about King Shou."
Zhou Jun was stunned when he heard Pang Gong's words.
There seemed to be a vague hint of disapproval of Li Linfu in the other party's words.
Zhou Jun left the study, and Yin Darong chased him out, beckoning the former to follow him.
Zhou Jun followed Yin Darong out of the small courtyard, and the latter said: "While Erlang was busy with the marriage of the eldest son of the Zhou family, King Shou came to Bieyuan, and Pang Gong used Li Linfu's letter to talk about the crown prince. Shou.
After hearing the suggestion in the letter to visit his mother and concubine, the king refused on the spot, and bluntly said that the matter should not be mentioned again. Seeing the fierce words of King Shou, Pang Gong stopped persuading him."
"That night, Pang Gong had a drink with our family. He just said that he was ashamed of Queen Zhenshun. However, he also said that King Shou is an adult and has his own ideas. If he doesn't want to, then the matter of fighting for the heir apparent can only be left to this point.
Give up."
After hearing this, Zhou Jun also understood Pang Gong's attitude. The latter had no hope for King Shou to ascend to the throne.
Yin Darong added: "Pang Gong had been hesitating whether to show you Li Linfu's letter. Later, he also felt that this was an opportunity. With Erlang's ability and this common style, he would say
You may be able to get ahead. If Erlang really gets ahead, then Mr. Pang and our family will have someone we can rely on in the future."
Yin Darong's words were tantamount to explaining to Zhou Jun that Pang Gong had slowly shifted his original intention of supporting King Shou in his fight for the crown prince to the latter's future.
After all, Pang Gong was a servant and had no children. The martial arts family he served had become a thing of the past. The only one who remembered him was the longevity king, and he did not want to compete for the throne.
After getting along for a long time, Pang Gong, who knew Zhou Jun's character and abilities well, could only focus on Zhou Jun for the future.
After thinking about this, Zhou Jun sang to Yin Darong and said in a deep voice: "Jun will definitely live up to the expectations of Duke Pang and Duke Yin."
Yin Darong said with a smile: "Erlang is serious. Our family doesn't have as many thoughts as Pang Gong. The only thing I want to think about right now is to train the musicians and performers under me as soon as possible. Yesterday, I arranged for the Yin family troupe to perform well.
The position of head of the class was passed to lay scholar Song."
Zhou Jun was surprised and asked: "Yin Gong asked Song Jushi to be the class leader?"
Yin Darong: "Not only the class leader, but also the venue, expenses, etc., all agreed to the layman Song. With the layman rehearsing the show, our family doesn't have to worry about it every day. We can only wait to watch the play."
Zhou Jun was also a little curious.
Song Ruo'e has a script, a troupe, a venue and expenses. I don't know what kind of world she will open up in Bachuan from now on.
Zhou Jun bid farewell to Yin Darong, returned to Chang'an, and began his official duties.
Not long after, the DPRK issued a relocation order.
Zhou Jun, the former Chief of the Capital Court of the Ministry of Punishments, moved to Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and served as the Supervisor of Hexi Hu City (the lower eighth grade).
