Chapter 515

Only a few days after Qin mubai left, Chu suiliang arrived in Lanzhou.

At that time, Pang Fei, the commander of the Kansai army who was in charge of staying in Lanzhou, was training his troops outside the city. When he heard that Chu suiliang had arrived, he was shocked: his mentor expected things to be like this. As soon as he left, someone came to the court. Chu suiliang is an important official in the imperial court and a confidant of the emperor. In a sense, he was even closer to the Emperor than changsun Wuji.

It's no small matter that he can be asked to come out in person.

Ci Shi Xiao Liang and others have already welcomed Chu suiliang into the governor's office, so they come to invite King Jiang Xia and Pang Fei. Pang Fei had to leave the barracks to see Chu suiliang.

When Pang Fei arrived at the governor's mansion, Li daozong and Xiao Liang were already drinking tea with Chu suiliang. Li daozong is a royal family, and his seniority is higher than Chu suiliang. Therefore, he asked frankly, why did Chu Xianggong come to Lanzhou thousands of miles away?

Chu suiliang said casually with a light smile of wind and cloud. According to the emperor's instructions, come to Lanzhou to have a look.

"Have a look?" Li daozong was stunned and then said with a smile, "Lanzhou Do you look good? "

"Good looking." Chu suiliang then went down the slope and said with a smile, "there are many shops in the market. Cattle and sheep flock to pasture in the countryside. The city is majestic, the army is powerful, the people are rich, and the folk customs are beautiful. Lanzhou has been a place of war in the frontier fortress for many years, and it has developed into such a place in just a few years. It's really amazing! "

Li daozong couldn't help sneering, "Chu suiliang, you don't have to talk to me. You are here on purpose. Let's be frank! "

"Forgive me, my Lord. I really don't have an imperial edict." Chu suiliang bowed his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty said, the original words are - you go to Lanzhou to have a look!"

All the people were speechless, and Li daozong was even more stunned.

Just then Pang Fei came in and attended the ceremony first.

Chu suiliang looked him up and down and asked, "general Pang is a good student of young commander Qin. A famous teacher is a good student."

"Mr. Chu flattered me."

"Well What about young commander Qin? " Chu suiliang asked. After entering the governor's office for a long time, I didn't see Qin mubai.

Pang Fei was shocked. "Didn't anyone tell Mr. Chu that the young commander had led the army to the west a few days ago?"

Although Chu suiliang had been following the emperor all the year round and had already developed the calm ability of "not startled by the collapse of the sky", he was stunned to hear Pang Fei's words.

Because no one told him. After sitting in the governor's office for a long time, he didn't take the initiative to ask, so no one took the initiative to tell him anything superfluous.

Obviously, many of the people in the hall are an unbreakable group. Even if Chu suiliang is a prime minister and a confidant of the emperor, there is no one here to flatter him or make up with him.

Such a tiny detail made Chu suiliang realize that Lanzhou is absolutely different from other local counties. The generals and officials here are quite united with each other, and their backbone is quite clear. Qin mubai's prestige and influence here are beyond anyone's reach. According to a treacherous saying, Lanzhou is "only know Qin Lang, not the emperor".

"Oh, it's Wang who talks with Mr. Chu. I forget that for a moment." Li daozong was such a slippery figure. He came out and said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, your majesty didn't send you to see Qin mubai, did you? Then you may have to go for nothing! ——If your legs and feet are a little faster, you can stop him before he goes out. "

"Blocking?" Chu suiliang smile slightly, "Chu, why do you want to block commander Qin?"

"Oh, you see, I don't read many books, and there are some improper expressions. Mr. Chu must not take it to heart." Li daozong laughs.

"Dare not, dare not." Chu suiliang could not see any displeasure or mood fluctuation on his face. He still said with a smile, "in fact, it's not very secret that your majesty sent me. He just asked me to visit the princess and her husband-in-law. He said that the princess had been away from Beijing for a long time, and she believed it very much. Especially after the princess gave birth to lin'er, her majesty and empress have never seen her. So... "

"Does your majesty want Qin mubai to return to Beijing with the princess and the little princess?"

"Exactly." Chu suiliang nodded, but immediately added, "but your majesty has no intention of coercion. It's entirely up to the young commander himself. Your majesty also made it clear that if the major commander is busy with military affairs or has other things to deal with, there is no need to rush for a while. You have to go to Chang'an again when the young commander is free. "

"Oh, it's your Majesty's family Then I will know too much. " Li Daozong's ha ha's smile, "Pang Fei, is not yet fast, please Chu Xiang Gong, to meet your royal highness?"

"Yes! Mr. Chu, please Pang Fei came forward and asked.

"that Chu Mou goes to the princess's highness first." Ladies and gentlemen, Chu will leave first! " Chu suiliang retreated after giving gifts, and everyone sent him away.

Li daozong held a cup of tea and drank it slowly. He thought about it. There was a big knot in his brow. Xiao Liang, the censor, came over lightly and asked in a low voice, "Lord, do you want to inform young commander Qin of Chu suiliang's visit to Lanzhou?"

Li daozong held the hand of the tea cup for a while, meditated, and then said, "no need."Xiao Liang was slightly surprised, "don't you really use it?" This kind of thing, at least let the young commander have a number in his mind? "

"When Qin Mu's white-collar soldiers went to battle, he was relieved to fight. There was nothing wrong. Let's not pretend to be guilty and make people suspicious. " Li daozong put the tea cup on the table, "Qin mubai. Now it's better than a fox! What you and I haven't thought of, he has thought about it 800 times in his stomach - if he didn't count it in his heart, would he go in such a hurry? If the soldiers come to cover the water and the earth, we don't have to worry about it! Didn't you hear what Chu suiliang said just now? The emperor, too, was only very tactful to "invite" the princess and his son-in-law to return to Beijing to visit their relatives for a few days, not an imperial edict. There's a lot of room for maneuver here. And it's royal family business. We outsiders can't mix in. Remember, every word Chu suiliang said in the hall just now should be kept secret and should not be disclosed! "

"Yes, I remember."

Li daozong touched his beard and suddenly gave a strange smile. "If Qin mubai were in Lanzhou, he might be brought back to the capital by Chu suiliang. Now it's a good thing. He slipped on the soles of his feet first, and Chu suiliang threw himself in the air. There's a princess Gaoyang who can't help himself. I'll see how Chu suiliang can deal with it! "

Pang Fei led Chu suiliang to the rear residence of Dadu governor's mansion. I made a special trip to see the princess. Pang Fei was clever. He first invited Chu suiliang to the hall to serve tea, and then said he was going to invite Princess Gaoyang. But some of the twists and turns, first to Gaoyang princess said a clear.

When Princess Gaoyang heard this, she was immediately annoyed and said, "it's these ministers. Only know how to alienate our monarch and minister father and daughter! What do you mean by asking us to come back to Beijing for a short stay, is that you want to get him back and cut off his military power? "

"Princess, calm down." Pang Fei said in a low voice eagerly, "it's still unknown whether it's an outsider's idea or your Majesty's own. After all, Chu suiliang only asked the princess and his son-in-law to return to Beijing to live with their relatives. And it's not compulsory. It's human relations. It's impeccable. It can be seen that even if the idea is his own, his majesty is very cautious, just for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstanding. "

Gaoyang Princess eyes a bright, gently nodded. "Also In this case, I can't get angry or make it clear. On the contrary, it seems that we have ghosts in our hearts. However, the more careful my father was, the more uneasy I was. According to his old people's consistent style, he is vigorous and resolute. Now he is so cautious about mubai Pang Fei, do you think your master has really achieved great success? "

Pang Fei was stunned. "How much Maybe a little! After all I won the whole plateau country. Tubo is much stronger than the original Turkic Khanate! "

"Look at you, you're hopeless!" Princess Gaoyang glared at him angrily, "lead the way! I'll see Chu suiliang! "

Zhu Suiliang saw Princess Gao Yang, and he said, "let's see the princess."

"The Duke of Chu was free." Princess Gaoyang regained her pride and honor in the imperial palace. He sat down with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chu came to Lanzhou thousands of miles away, but his son-in-law failed to come out of guoyuanying. Please forgive me."

Zhu Suiliang hurriedly said, "Princess Royal, what is this saying? How dare you let the emperor's consort meet?"

"You are the angel emperor, mubai should go out to meet you." Princess Gaoyang continued to smile, "it's just a pity that mubai had already led the army to the western regions a few days ago. There's a war going on there. It's very fierce. The palace heard that Su Ding Fang won several battles first, and then the war situation became stalemate. Annoyed, mubai went back to the house all day and talked endlessly, for fear that he would insult the job his majesty had given him. No, he didn't feel at ease. He led the army himself

"The emperor's son-in-law is really a minister of the state." Chu suiliang answered the house with a flower spear. He didn't know that the princess Gaoyang was the number one thorn in the sky. Even the Emperor didn't take her. If you mess with anyone, don't mess with her or leave something to her.

"Oh, I haven't asked why Mr. Chu came here." Princess Gaoyang asked with a smile.

Chu took a deep breath and said. "I've been instructed by your majesty to invite the princess and her husband-in-law back to Beijing for a few days. Your majesty said, "the princess has been away from Beijing for a long time. The princess of the imperial concubine is missing her royal highness.

Speaking of Yinde, Princess Gaoyang touched her heart. Why didn't she miss her mother in Chang'an?

"How are you, father and mother?" She asked softly.

"Good. Your majesty and empress de Fei are good. " Chu suiliang replied carefully.

"I miss them very much too..." With a long sigh, Princess Gaoyang stood up, paced slowly and said, "but the flute is too small. I'm afraid she can't stand the fatigue of the journey. In addition, she has not been well recently. I'm afraid she's on the road... "

Chu suiliang was surprised to hear that the princess didn't want to go back to the capital!

At this time, Chu suiliang thought quickly in his heart: Unfortunately, Qin mubai had already taken the first step, and he didn't know whether he intended to do it or just happened to do it. Anyway, I'm sure I won't invite Qin mubai back. Since Qin mubai can't go back to the capital, I can't ask Princess Gaoyang and the little princess to go back alone. If Qin mubai knows, don't you think I'm taking them back to the capital as hostages? In case he was angry with the emperor and the imperial court because of this incident, wouldn't Chu suiliang become a great sinner What's more, the emperor's edict was ambiguous. He didn't force Qin mubai and Princess Gaoyang to go back. The Emperor didn't want to offend them. Why should Chu suiliang do something stupid in the middle? In case there is a conflict between the emperor and his son-in-law, in the end, Chu suiliang will not be human on both sides!This is royal family business. It's hard to mix!

Chu suiliang had an idea in his mind. He looked worried and said to Princess Gao Yang: "the princess's concern is not unreasonable. I'd like to come to your highness, but I'm just one year old. I've been traveling from Lanzhou to Chang'an for thousands of miles. It's hard for adults to bear the pain of the journey, not to mention the fact that the little princess is still young and ill. "

"Yes! Ah...! " Princess Gaoyang shook her head and sighed. "After a long time away from Beijing, I miss Chang'an very much. I miss my father and his wife, and I hope to have fun with Xiao Di'er at my parents' knees. Originally, the palace urged the emperor's son-in-law more than once to accompany us back to Chang'an after the battle of Tubo. Originally, he also agreed, but who knows that another incident happened in the western regions? Mr. Chu, you don't know that the emperor's son-in-law always attaches great importance to the affairs of the state, and never misses a big event because of his love. Therefore, the palace is helpless. I have to wait for my son-in-law to come back from the expedition, and then I will go back to Beijing with Xiao Di'er to plead with my father and mother! "

"For the time being, that's all." Chu suiliang sighed and said, "loyalty and filial piety are difficult. It's not easy for the emperor's son-in-law of Qin! Dare to ask her royal highness, the little minister replied to his majesty what the princess just said, "can I?"

"Yes." Princess Gaoyang nodded with a smile, "by the way, when Mr. Chu goes back, please take the portrait of our palace and Xiao Di'er. It's said that Xiao Di'er is very clever and more obedient than when I was a child. "

"Yes, I will bring it."

In this way, Chu suiliang said nothing more. This trip is a waste.
