Chapter 344

In the next few days, Qin mubai spent most of his time in the palace. Following the officials of Nei Yuan Jian, Li Bu, Taichang temple, Honglu temple and other related yamen, they were familiar with and practiced various wedding ceremony matters.

It is said that the emperor's daughter doesn't worry about marriage, just because she has a good father? Few Royal marriages are apolitical. This kind of marriage has long gone beyond the marriage itself. More often than not, it has to be a show and a political drama.

According to the traditional custom, when an emperor marries a daughter, it is only for the court ministers to come to congratulate him or her. But this time, the emperor married his favorite daughter, Princess Gaoyang, and his son-in-law was Qin mubai, the third son of the Qin family, who was the most popular young military faction in recent years.

The important generals of the twelve Wei army are the first to attend, not to mention the military department and the northern and southern Yamen. In addition, Xiangyang, where Qin mubai became an official, Jiangzhou, where he had worked, and other counties in Lanzhou and Helong, all sent officials to congratulate him.

It's Fair for these local officials to come to congratulate, but under their leadership, many local officials also came to Chang'an to celebrate their wedding, or to get in touch with the capital, or to make up with Qin mubai. No matter how hard it is, they can also share the feelings among their colleagues. It's not easy to be an official. You know how many roads there are with more friends, how many enemies there are, and how few walls there are.

As a result, Qin mubai's marriage gradually evolved into a "public event". Officials from different places gathered in the capital for different purposes.

Those who come to visit Qin's house in recent days have to break the threshold.

Qin mubai was helpless and couldn't reach out to hit the smiling face. So he simply hid in the palace for most of the day, so as not to be worried and thirsty in the face of those guests who came to visit.

This is ten days.

The wedding date is just around the corner. There are only five days left.

Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang are tired and get married. It's like fighting a war.

On this day, Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang went to Tianwang temple, the palace protector. They had a quiet time with master Qingshan, cooked tea and listened to her talk about Zen. But both of them didn't want to listen to any profound Buddhist principles today, and they were all sleepy after a while. Princess Gaoyang even fell asleep on the table.

Qin mubai put on her own cloak and said with an apologetic smile to master Qingshan: "master, don't blame me. I'm afraid the princess is tired after studying all kinds of etiquette even on the date."

"No harm. Let her royal highness sleep in this clean place, Qin Qin Ma may as well send her to the Zen house.

"Not bad."

Qin mubai picked up Princess Gaoyang and sent her to a quiet Zen room, where she was taken care of by two nuns. I went back to Zen hall.

"Why did the emperor's son-in-law of Qin come to my temple in his spare time today? Can he give us some advice?" Master Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Master, Qin's heart was tired and he just wanted to be clean, so he came." Qin mubai said.

"The world of mortals is three thousand, who can roll down and not be tired?" Master Qingshan sang a Buddha's promise and said, "the empress of Defei came to my temple at three or five o'clock to chant Buddhist Scriptures or meditate. The world is impetuous. Peace of mind. It's not uncommon. "

Qin Mu Bai twisted his brow and said, "it's not exactly so. I don't know why. In recent days, I feel so impetuous that an unknown fire always rises out of control. A common incident in the past can also touch my anger. When you fall asleep at night, you can't sleep well. Occasionally, I have nightmares, or dream of the battle of jingo TieMa

Master Qingshan was stunned and said, "the emperor's son-in-law is very happy. He is in touch with some festive things every day. Why did he have such a dream?"

"I don't know." Qin mubai took a long breath and said, "I've never been like this before. Even if you really get to the frontier front line, you can still sleep soundly in the rumbling battle drums. Now I'm home, but I'm in a trance. "

Master Qingshan nodded and said, "that's the general's daily thought and night dream. The so-called haunted, where the body, but stable; but if left, it is repeatedly thinking. General, although your people are in Chang'an, your heart is not in Chang'an. "

Qin mubai was stunned. He felt a little enlightened. He nodded and said, "what the master said is true. Although I'm preparing to marry the princess, I'm tired of dealing with the etiquette and social activities, and I don't want to get married. On the contrary, I can't rest assured of Lanzhou's city and army. I miss my father all the time. It's a pity that my son will marry, but my father is away. Now the border is full of troubles. I am at home having a wedding banquet, and the guests are having fun day by day. But my father is in the cold moon. I feel very uneasy. "

"I see." Master Qingshan put his hands together and closed his eyes to chant, "Amitabha, Emperor Qin's son-in-law is loyal to his country, filial and benevolent. But just like this, it is not enough to disturb the emperor's son-in-law's mind. There must be something else

Qin Mu Bai's eyebrows twisted again and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his heart brightened: Yes! In recent days, I only focused on the wedding affairs, but I didn't go home. I forgot Su Lianqing's affairs there!

"Thank you, master. Qin knows what's going on. The master is guilty, and Qin has something to do now, and the princess will take care of him temporarily."Don't worry, son-in-law!"

Qin mubai left the Tianwang temple and begged a horse from the Xuanwumen military supervisor. After riding on it, he ran out of the palace to the Qinxian Pavilion.

Su Lianqing has been waiting in Qinxian Pavilion for almost a whole day.

"General, you make me easy to find!" They just sat down. Su Lianqing said in a hurry, "I've been looking for you for days, but there's no one. You go out early and come back late. I can't trust others to tell you some things."

"Now, to the point." Qin mubai said.

"Good." Su Lianqing took a sip of tea, took a breath and said, "the Tantai sisters have successfully lurked around the Han king. The king of the Han Dynasty was very fond of her sisters and said that he would take them as children. The two sisters also used some means to satisfy his appetite, but they refused to comply all the time. "

"Say the point."

"They got an important piece of news!" Su Lianqing said, "in recent days, the king of Han and Fang's last love are hidden in the east palace. They discuss some confidential matters with the prince day and night, and no one else can get any information. There was only one time when the king of Han drank more and ordered the Tantai sisters to dance with him. After drinking, he talked nonsense and said, "what's so amazing about that guy? Such a beautiful scene! Xiao Wang is going to break his prestige in public and make him disgraced. Sooner or later, he will die! "

"Me?" Qin Mu twisted his eyebrows.

"Who else could it be?" Su Lian said, "although he didn't call his name, the second daughter didn't dare to ask more out of caution. But left and right speculation must be aimed at you. Aren't you getting married recently? There is a lot of movement and scenery. You have a grudge against him, not against you, but against whom? "

"Is that clear? What exactly are they going to do to me?"

"No Su Lianqing shook his head. "They've done quite a secret job. They can't get any information. But I guess it's mostly to do something on your wedding, to damage your reputation, or even to plant something on you, to ruin your mood and your face. " "

" wrong. They don't have to fight so much and work for the prince. They are trying to kill me for ever. " Qin Mu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly and said with a cold smile, "I can't think of any earth shaking things that these wastes can make do together. To plant me? "

"Be careful, general. As the saying goes, "the king of hell is a devil. What he is afraid of is this kind of vicious villain." Su Lianqing said, "nothing else, if I give you a cup of poisoned wine at the wedding ceremony, let you go to offer the Emperor Can you afford such charges? "

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows: "if they have such courage, it's not in vain for me to treat them as opponents!"

"Hard to say! When the dog is in a hurry, he has to jump over the wall Su Lianqing said, "although I'm not an official, I also know that the prince of Donggong is in a hurry now. The situation is very dangerous. What else is he afraid to do? The king of the Han Dynasty is just a jerk. He even dares to provoke the imperial concubines left by his father in the harem. What else can he do to lose his Lunde? "

"Well, have you found any definite evidence for the affair of empress concubine Yi?"

"There is evidence. The Tantai sisters almost saw him at the head of the bed with their own eyes. He's so bold that he even got people out of the palace and shut them up in the palace day and night Su Lianqing said.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "keep staring at him."

"General, I don't understand. This kind of accusation can kill his head at will. What are you still enduring and looking for? " Su Lianqing asked.

Qin mubai laughed and said, "this is what I want to ask Li Yuanchang. He is so easy to do such beheading. What can he rely on? That's why I came to you. In recent days, you should keep an eye on it. If there is any disturbance, please report me at any time. "

"Good."

Su Lianqing left in a hurry. Qin mubai took a rest and went back to the imperial palace to protect the kingdom. When Princess Gaoyang wakes up after a sleep, she shouts that Qin mubai will accompany her to Xianju palace to visit her mother and have dinner together.

Yinde imperial concubine is as beautiful as ever. She is graceful and dignified. Her silver hair adds a different kind of mystery and charm to her.

When her son-in-law arrived, the Yinde imperial concubine welcomed him warmly and invited Li Shimin to dinner. Recently, Qin mubai spent most of his time in the palace, and he often met with Li Shimin. It's common for him to have a meal together.

During the dinner, they naturally talked about Lanzhou. Li Shimin said that with the advance of time, the situation in Lanzhou is close to tense, and the front line of dafichuan has entered a state of war preparedness. Xue Wanjun asked Qin Shubao to increase his troops, practice day and night, and be on strict alert. In the past, Tubo came to prevent. In addition, the silk trade road from Liangzhou to Lanzhou. We should also strengthen management day and night just in case. Moreover, after the closure of border trade, the local situation in Lanzhou was a little tense, mainly because the businessmen stranded there faced losses, which was difficult to appease. In order to avoid the enemy's careful work, fishing in troubled waters and fanning the flames, local martial law and public security are also under great pressure.

Without Qin mubai, the right man in charge of internal affairs, most governor Qin Shubao must be very busy now.After hearing this, Qin mubai was not happy, so he hoped to get married soon and go to Lanzhou to take care of the military and political affairs to relieve his father's pressure.

These are just small things. The real trouble. It's still hidden. Gaochang and other countries on the Silk Road in the western regions may seek treason at any time. It is impossible to prevent such things. Once things really happen, there seems to be no other way but to send troops to suppress them. However, the Tang Dynasty can not take the initiative to take the lead in sending troops, otherwise the division will give others a handle. In the western regions, the use of force as a supplement and politics as the main force are not as simple as fighting.

In other words, on the one hand, although Datang can be reasonable, it is always passive. Gaochang has nothing to do in a day. Lanzhou will be on alert in one day; once Gaochang incident happens, Lanzhou will send troops immediately. Otherwise, the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty would be completely cut off, and the hegemonic position in the western region of Helong would collapse. The chain reaction would be great, and it might even spread to the pacified Turkic steppe of Mobei and cause drastic changes there.

Lanzhou, lead a hair and move the whole body, just at the moment of tension, Qin mubai is here to get married, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"Father, how can you have a meal? Do you want to talk about it?" When Princess Gaoyang saw Qin mubai, she was depressed. He complained to Li Shimin.

"Ha ha, OK, no more talking." Li Shimin said with a smile, "you are a girl. You are accusing your father and emperor of the stinky boy. It's really the water poured by the married daughter. She doesn't want to stay!"

"Hey, hey, I'm Bangli or bangqin. Eat! Eat at ease Princess Gaoyang poured wine for Li Shimin with a smile.

Qin mubai gave Li Shimin a toast with a smile, but he muttered in his heart: if there is nothing wrong in Lanzhou, I will marry my father. That would be great. Or, I staggered a time to get married, first to take care of the Lanzhou thing, the marriage is also very good. The trouble lies in that the Tubo people only make trouble at this time and annoy me!

Lanzhou, dududufu.

Qin Shubao, dressed in a military uniform and armed with a golden sword, sat on the general's chair, holding a letter in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. He said with a smile to Xue Rengui, who was standing beside him: "Rengui, I didn't expect that Princess Gaoyang would write to me."

"Oh? It's really a novelty. " Xue Rengui said with a smile. "What did your highness say in your letter?"

Qin Shubao was quite hearty and laughed straight. He got up and walked a few steps, and said: "that boy has no princess's airs in his letter. He said" Dad "on the left and dad on the right, which makes me warm in my heart. She didn't mention anything important, just said something about her and mubai's wedding. He also said that they miss me very much and hope that I can attend their wedding. It's a pity that I'm not here on my wedding day. "

"I can't imagine that your highness is so careless and careless, so she is so exquisite and clever. Finally, I would like to congratulate the governor for accepting such a good daughter-in-law. " Xue Rengui said.

"Ha ha! Among the women of the emperor. Only princess Gaoyang is the most intelligent. In the past, I only heard about it, but now I'm telling it from my own experience. It's true. This child, is coarse in detail, wise as a fool! You see, mubai has been back to Chang'an for many days. Although there are letters, most of them talk about business. Gao Yang, however, coaxed me into a warm heart. It's a pity that I didn't get my son's wedding wine, and I've swept away most of it. " Uncle Qin said with a smile, "even mubai. I'm not as careful as she is. Where can I find such a daughter-in-law? "

"That's true." Xue Rengui said, "I really can't see that Princess Gaoyang, who was spoiled by emperors and nobles, respected the elderly and cared for them so much. It's very rare to be filial and careful. If you are so filial and virtuous, you will be able to enjoy the happiness of your family if you remove your armor and go back to the fields some other day! "

"Ha ha!" Qin Shubao burst out laughing and said, "when mubai returns from his wedding, he will finish cooking the western regions. I began to plan to hand over the shift with him, retire to the field and enjoy the happiness of family! At that time, it is estimated that mubai will also add grandchildren to me, ha ha! "

They were chatting happily when a military academy called "newspaper" came in!! Urgent military situation

Qin Shubao's eyebrows were awe inspiring, and he was just smiling red. In an instant, he was awe inspiring: "the news is coming!"

"Tubo's 30000 iron cavalry wandered around the front line of dafichuan, harassing each other. There were small battles, and each side had its own victory or defeat. The loss of forces on both sides was no more than 100 people. General Xue Wanjun asked for orders to drive out! "

"At last?" Qin Shubao sneered scornfully and said, "I'll order Xue Wanjun to keep it strictly. Unless the Tubo people come to attack the stronghold, they can fight back. The pursuit should not exceed five li. Otherwise, the military will punish them severely! "

"Yes," he said.

"The great governor is wise." Xue Rengui said, "our army has been battling in dafichuan for a long time. The camp is as strong as iron, and the soldiers are all strong. With the help of powerful cannons, 30000 Tibetan cavalry can not shake our camp in dafichuan. At this time, the Tubo people are looking forward to our army's active attack on the field. They must have laid a good encirclement to wait for work. "

"Not bad." Qin Shubao said, "but I'm not so stupid. We will not abandon our camp and attack each other with our own shortcomings. In addition, this group of soldiers must be suspicious and will not come to attack the city seriously. I believe Tubo people can still remember the aftereffects of the previous Shenwu cannon. ""In this way, the Tubo people must have another action? I just don't know what they're going to do. " Xue Rengui said.

Qin Shubao stood tall, his eyes narrowed slightly, his beard caressed, and thought for a long time. He said, "since the suspicious soldiers are out, it's time for the right soldiers to show up, otherwise it's time to scare the snake. I believe it won't be long before news comes. Benevolence. If you are a Tubo, how can you use the other troops to harass dafichuan

"Two uses." Without thinking, Xue Rengui said, "one is to march into Tuyuhun's hometown, obliquely insert behind Lanzhou, cut off my connection with the Central Plains, or infiltrate into the hinterland of Lanzhou and the Central Plains to carry out looting. However, there is a greater risk in this route, because our troops have more strict sentries and troops on that route. If our troops respond immediately. If they go deep alone, they may be besieged and annihilated by our army. "

"That's right. He's resourceful and resourceful. He knows how to use his soldiers. He didn't mistake you." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "go on, the second one?"

"The second is..."

"Newspaper --"

a cry interrupted Xue Rengui's words, and another scout ran into the room and said, "newspaper governor, Liangzhou military emergency report! There was a group of about ten thousand Tibetan soldiers crossing the Qilian Mountains, breaking through the sentry lines of our army along the mountain roads, and attacking Liangzhou overnight, causing serious losses to the business and tourism stations. General Xue Wanjun, acting governor of Liangzhou, sent an urgent letter for help! At this time, the official road between Liangzhou and Lanzhou was cut off, and most of the merchants and soldiers along the way had already fallen into the hands of the Tubo army! "

Qin Shubao was angry and raised his eyebrows! Tubo children, so faithless! A month ago, he sent people to send us cattle, sheep, wine and meat as a sign of flattery. In a twinkling of an eye, he turned his face and did not recognize people. He attacked my weakness, attacked my Liangzhou, ruined my business and killed my army and people! ——Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals! "

"No!"

Xue Rengui's face also changed, and he said in a deep voice: "governor of Dadu, the last general will invite the vanguard!"

Qin Shubao twisted his brow and said, "Rengui, the second way you just mentioned is to attack Liangzhou from Qilian Mountain."

"This The end will not dare to talk nonsense, things have happened... "

"You are, aren't you?"

"Yes

Uncle Qin's sword eyebrows stood erect, and nodded solemnly, saying, "well, what will Tubo people want to do next?"

Xue Rengui said: "the Tubo must have known that I was very good at Lanzhou. This time, the suspicious troops were not from Sichuan. They attacked Liangzhou in a hurry. According to the general at the end of the war, they were all empty moves, but they were encircling the city to help and delaying our army. "

"This idea coincides with me." Qin Shubao said, "Tubo people have always done nothing but burning, killing and looting. After looting, they run away. This time, however, the suspicious and strange soldiers came out together. It seems that they are making a big step. His intention is either to take Lanzhou from China or to serve as an outpost for treason in the western regions, hoping to hold down our army and embolden Gaochang and other countries! "

"The governor is wise!" Xue Rengui said, "so, please order the end general to lead the first division to fight. If there are no more soldiers, the more 3000 fine irons you can ride. If the Tibetans fought to death, it proved that they were really besieging the city and delaying our army, aiming at the western regions; if they fled in a virtual battle, they wanted to transfer our main army out of Lanzhou and then attack Lanzhou. Let's invite the governor of Dadu to take charge of Lanzhou, so as to keep unchanged and cope with changes! "

"It's a wonderful plan!" Qin Shubao nodded appreciatively and said, "no wonder when Sanlang was leaving. He told me that if there is a war, you can ask Rengui. It turns out that you really know how to fight and how to plan. Well, it's up to you. I want you to be the pioneer and lead 3000 Chinese troops to clear Liangzhou's official road. If the Tubo people fight to death, I will lead the army to help them. If the Tubo people are defeated, they don't have to pursue them. They can keep close to Lanzhou and other important military roads. At that time, I will be waiting for work in Lanzhou! "

"The end will take orders!"

Not long after that, all the generals and academies of the army came together, and the senior colonel set out to talk about the military.

Lanzhou, which has been silent for a long time, is like a pot of boiling water, which is about to turn
