A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Shangguanyi thought while walking, "Then you mean that Li Chengqian did this on purpose?"

"The descendants of the Gu family are not allowed to serve as officials in the court. Li Chengqian can not be afraid of Gu Qing, as long as they can coexist well, and both sides will give in a step." Chu Suiliang continued, "I think Li Chengqian's real purpose is to serve in the army and the court. middle."

"What do you mean?" Shangguanyi was puzzled.

Chu Suiliang whispered to Shangguanyi, "Look at these days, many people in the army and court will be replaced, especially the Ministry of War and Zuo Wuwei."

Hearing what Chu Suiliang said, Shangguanyi understood a thing or two in his heart. Li Chengqian was not a fool. He knew the title value of Su Dingfang, and he knew that it must be given. The most popular ones are those who spread rumors, and those who take the opportunity to make trouble. Does Li Chengqian want to completely change the blood in the army and get rid of some people with good intentions?Or is it to deal with Su Dingfang's backbone left in the army, thereby reducing Su Dingfang's influence in the army.

Thinking of this, Shangguanyi said to Chu Suiliang, "Then you still want to do this? Are you not afraid that Li Chengqian will think you are Gu Qing's?"

"Didn't you do the same?" Chu Suiliang also said with a smile.

"I understand." Shangguanyi suddenly smiled, "It turns out that we were all set up by Li Chengqian. With our fire, there must be more people who can't sit still."

"Yes."

"If you hadn't reminded me, maybe I would have been kept in the dark." Shangguanyi said with a smile, "It seems that Li Chengqian has learned a lot."

"It's not enough. These are just tricks played by others. Li Chengqian knows the hidden dangers in the army, and Li Chengqian doesn't want to lose his military power. Now that the Tang Dynasty has national strength, and the court has begun to get on the right track, this is the best time for Li Chengqian to organize military affairs. , It is also the best time to hold the military power in your own hands, weaken Su Dingfang's arm in the army, and thus establish a new general." Chu Suiliang walked out of Chengtianmen and said to Shangguanyi, "Think about the generals of the past, Wang Jian, Bai Qi and the others are all good at marching and fighting, but military power is like a knife, if the emperor doesn't grasp the military power in his own hands, he won't feel at ease."

"But what about Gu Qing?" Shangguanyi was puzzled.

"Gu Qing just wants Su Dingfang to have a title, and he doesn't care about other things." Chu Suiliang said in a low voice, "Now Jiangshan Sheji is revitalized, and the real heyday may be ten or ten years later. After that, now Li Chengqian is still young, and Gu Qing is also young."

"We are still young," Shangguanyi said.

"Farewell." Chu Suiliang said with a wry smile and waved his hands, "I'm already in my 30s, and you're not too old."

After a few days of lack of clothing and food in the Chang'an Palace, Li Chengqian asked Wang Jin to take down the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuowuwei Zhonglang, and the left and right generals, a total of seven people. Several guards carried out a large-scale arrangement, and then issued an order to confer the title of Marquis of Luoshui County in Su Dingfang and grant three hundred pieces of fertile land, and this matter came to an end.

Cheng Chumo brought Su Dingfang to Gu Qing's house with several jugs of high-quality spirits.

"Good news." Cheng Chumo took a gulp from the jug and said with a smile, "Then Li Chengqian finally relented."

"Thank you very much." Su Dingfang raised his glass to Gu Qing and downed it in one gulp.

"You deserve it." Gu Qing said with a smile, "But Li Chengqian has made a lot of arrangements for the army."

Su Dingfang knew about this matter, and Cheng Chumo also knew about it. Many of them were veterans who had followed Su Dingfang for several years, and the youngest was a lieutenant general. , and some were jailed for it.

Thinking of this, Su Dingfang lowered his head and said, "They still won't listen to the persuasion. There are several generals in the army who have followed other people's ways, so they ended up like this."

"Follow someone else's way?" Cheng Chumo asked doubtfully.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Let's get drunk today, and now Su Dingfang is also the county magistrate, and I, Gu Qing, are also the county magistrate. If you toast me, I have to toast you."

"And me." The three toasted and drank together.

The three of them hadn't had a good drink together for a long time, until Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo were too drunk.

"Axe, my axe..." Cheng Chumo mumbled in a daze while holding the jug.

"Arrange them both to rest." Gu Qing said to Fan Jian.

The home was quiet again, Gu Qingluo looked up at the blue sky and Yunjuanyunshu in his own home, more and more things happened in the court, and finally he felt that he could stay out of it, and finally had the feeling that he didn't have to worry about it. Those feelings of conspiracy, no matter how much confusion there is, but what does it have to do with me after all. .

Dali Temple

Di Renjie received Li Chengqian's secret order to conduct a thorough investigation of the personnel files in the army. He said that there was a risk of mutiny in the army a few days ago. All this was because Su Dingfang did not receive any reward after resigning. It is too wrong to cause a mutiny in the army.

The first thousand and twenty-fourth chapters Chu Suiliang forced the palace? (three)

Some people in the army are spreading rumors, wanting to incite people's hearts to cause mutiny, and the excuse they use is Su Dingfang's excuse for resigning this time. This cannot be done by one or two people. At the beginning of forcing the palace, Chu Suiliang took the memorial to Su Dingfang and asked Li Chengqian to approve it. This behavior sounds like forcing the palace and forcing the emperor to stamp his seal.

To Li Chengqian, it was just a county magistrate, not a great title, and it was just a matter of Li Chengqian's words, but Li Chengqian refused to agree, even Chu Suiliang refused to agree to the memorial, which led to the outcry in the army. move.

Someone is fanning the wind, someone is lighting the fire, who wants to disturb the order in the army, and what they want to get. Think about Gu Qing who is the biggest threat to Li Chengqian now. Disdain to do so.

Looking at the secret order sent by Li Chengqian, Di Renjie said to the little official next to him, "Go and get all the registers registered on the record. I want all the registers above the lieutenant general, as well as the recruits who have joined the army within the past three months." book."

"Yes." The people in Dali Temple immediately started to get busy.

Chang'an has been peaceful for so many years, and Di Renjie is also curious about which ghosts and snake gods came to Chang'an to make troubles, and are still making troubles in the army. Ji always stays behind closed doors, just wait for Gu Qing to abdicate and he leaves Chang'an, Changsun Wuji will not make trouble, counting and counting is his own teacher, but does his own teacher need to do this?

Di Renjie thought of a possibility, but this possibility is outrageous and should not be the case.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to use troops against the West, Xue Rengui has been training troops with his soldiers these days, and is ready to go west at any time. Looking back, if the small countries in the West want to prevent the Tang Dynasty from going out, they may be able to use this plan, but How can they do it so that the briber should cooperate with the outside world?

Di Renjie beckoned to a few small officials again and said, "Take someone to investigate. Recently, there are people in Chang'an who have walked very close to the Fanbang people, especially those who came from the direction of Persia. I have checked carefully, focusing on some family backgrounds. If you don’t want to leak information about the family and the mansion that is related to the army, just check it secretly.”

"Yes!"

After arranging a group of people, Di Renjie beckoned to a group of people again and said, "Go to the gates of each city in Chang'an, and strictly investigate all foreigners who come to Chang'an. If anyone looks suspicious, they will be captured immediately."

"Yes!"

Di Renjie called another group of small officials and said, "Go and find out what is in Chang'an recently. Go to the rich and noble people and leave Chang'an. First go to the Chang'an Lingfu Yamen to get a guide and go out to the family who recently got a guide. Someone sold their property and hurried to leave. Yes, or all those who left with the whole family will be questioned clearly, and if anyone goes far away, I will immediately chase them back."

"Yes."

The movement of Dali Temple was very fast, and people kept coming out of Dali Temple, each of them moved quickly. Pei Xingjian watched this scene and walked into Dali Temple after eating the naan bread in his hand.

"Brother." Pei Xingjian greeted him as soon as he entered Dali Temple.

"Congratulations, you have become a minister." Di Renjie said to Pei Xingjian.

"It is inseparable from the help of the teacher and senior brother." Pei Xingjian said with a smile, "This time the matter is not easy."

"You noticed it too?" Di Renjie was puzzled.

"Not at first, but when I think about it later, it's really not right." Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "My Shangshuling, Zhongshuling Chu Suiliang, and Yushi doctor Shangguanyi all made admonitions together, but Li Chengqian didn't immediately agree, so I figured it out." Li Chengqian would not risk doing so, at that time I thought of the weirdness in this matter."

Pei Xingjian said with some embarrassment, "Actually, at first I thought Li Chengqian did this just to confront the teacher."

"Li Chengqian's methods have also begun to be proficient. I don't know how many people have been deceived by Li Chengqian this time." Di Renjie said in a low voice, "The most terrible trap is that when you recover, you are already in someone else's trap, and you are awake. Then I found out that I had been completely taken advantage of by others.”

"Indeed, I made it easy for Li Chengqian." Pei Xingjian said.

"The method is indeed a skillful method, but it's not very clever, and another person can do it." Di Renjie said in a low voice, "It's just that this time someone is fanning the flames, and it's really not right."

"I also feel that something is not right, and most of the troubles this time are from Su Dingfang's old department." Pei Xingjian also said: "Li Chengqian has been paying attention secretly, but when the voice in the army is getting louder, it is said that three days ago The mutiny was about to start, Li Chengqian had already arranged an ambush, these people were immediately suppressed by the ambush arranged by Li Chengqian, this incident happened too strangely, after Su Dingfang left the army."

"Playing hard to get." Di Renjie took a deep breath, "But I thought about it, no one in Chang'an today would have to do this, and who would take such a big risk in Chang'an and now, so I thought it was It’s not that foreigners are making troubles to prevent our Tang Dynasty from sending troops for the sake of the war in the west.”

"It's possible." Pei Xingjian also nodded, "Senior brother is really quick and resolute in deciding the case. I just stood outside Dali Temple, and there were several waves of people going out as soon as I went."

"I'm used to it." Di Renjie rubbed his temples, "You can be more relaxed in Shangshuling. My Dali Temple has always been busy. I still have seven or eight unresolved cases on hand. If Dali Temple is to take care of it, if someone loses a chicken or the vegetables in the vegetable field are missing, many people will come here first, it's really..."
