Chapter 1104

Yang Ji took office, followed by the first crisis.

Wang Peiren of Anxi died.

When the news reached the capital, the world was shocked.

King Anxi passed away at the beginning of the year. It took several months to get the news to the capital.

"What's the situation in Xiliang?"

Everyone's heart is the same question, but no one can answer.

The news of Xiliang was delayed for half a year at least and one year at most.

If roads are blocked, it is also possible to delay the message by two years.

Money is in great trouble.

He is the head of the intelligence department, and half of his staff are sent abroad.

He didn't hear the news of Anxi King's death in advance. It was obvious that there was a leak in the intelligence work.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with information collection or message delivery, there is a problem.

When his majesty asked about the situation in Xiliang, he didn't know about it. He lost points and behaved badly.

Naturally, he was criticized by the emperor Liu Zhao.

Qian Fu has been criticized. The people under the intelligence department are one after another. Of course, they have not had a good life.

All of them should be mobilized and all the intelligence networks must be mobilized to find out the current situation in Xiliang as soon as possible.

The official documents of Xiliang were sent to the capital.

One is to report the death of Wang Peiren in Anxi.

The second is to ask the emperor Liu Zhao to issue an order to formally establish Pei Meng as the next king of Anxi.

"I will not make this decision until I understand the situation in Xiliang."

Liu Zhao was resolute.

He was worried about the death of Peiren, king of Anxi, and the situation in Xiliang changed.

In case Pei Meng was not enough to stabilize the situation in Xiliang, or Pei Meng had two minds, the intention of conferring Pei Meng as king of Anxi was simple, and it would be difficult to withdraw his will.

At that time, the imperial court would be hard to get rid of and lose face.

Liu Zhao also wanted to face.

The most important thing is that he has been guarding against his cousin Pei Meng.

He and Pei Meng are cousins and have known each other since childhood.

Pei Meng disguised himself as a pig eating a tiger. He showed people with a rough face. In fact, he had the city in mind and was resourceful.

Such people have to be prevented.

"King Anxi has a bottom line in his work, and he has a feeling of home and country in his heart. Pei Meng, I'll have to look at it again and estimate it again. "

Yang Ji and Yang Xianggong, the newly appointed Zhongshu official, have different views.

"Your Majesty is on guard against Pei Meng, Prince of Anxi. Does Pei Meng know his Majesty's mind? I think it should be clear. He asked his majesty to make him king of Anxi, which can be described as straightforward. The minister thought that he had anticipated the possible reaction of his majesty. With the purpose of canonization, Wei Chen thought it was useless. It's better to make him complete first, to show his Majesty's magnanimity, and to strike him by surprise. "

"That's exactly what he wants." Liu Zhao did not agree, but insisted on understanding the situation in Xiliang before making plans.

Yang Ji pondered for a moment, "is your majesty worried that Pei Meng will become king from the Zhou Dynasty? In fact, your majesty doesn't have to worry at all. Wei Chen specially checked the account books of Sanhe express. In recent years, the trade volume between Dazhou and Xiliang has increased year by year. According to people who came back from Xiliang, the main income of Anxi palace came from customs.

Anxi Palace also needs to rely on the Zhou Dynasty to transport materials to resist the increasingly fierce war of faith in the western regions. It can be said that Dazhou is the backer of Anxi palace. Pei Meng is a smart man, he knows how to choose, is the best. The reason why he asked to be a king was to manage Xiliang in a proper way. There are several brothers under him, all of whom can lead troops to war. He must rely on his Majesty's support to stabilize the overall situation. "

Liu Zhao nodded, which is reasonable.

Then, he asked, "before King Anxi died, he didn't even ask Pei Meng to be king. Did he die suddenly?"

Usually, the king of Anxi should arrange all the important things before he died.

The effect of King Anxi's appearance is better than that of Pei Meng.

Yang Ji guessed: "it may be that he died suddenly, or the king of Anxi wavered and wanted to surpass Peimeng, the eldest son, and set up other sons. Maybe he took it off himself, and then... "

Liu Zhao heard the speech and laughed.

"It's interesting to have brothers fighting."

"Wei Chen thought that his majesty should still support Pei Meng. Xiliang can not be chaotic. Once there is chaos, the forces in the western regions will take the opportunity to invade Xiliang. Your majesty and your mother's plan for Xiliang will be severely damaged. "

"What you said is reasonable. Xiliang must not be disordered."

But Liu Zhao didn't rush to order Pei Meng.

I've been waiting for a few months, but it doesn't matter if I wait another month or two.

……

"I am very dissatisfied with the work of the intelligence department this time."

Liu Zhao complained with Gu Jiu privately that "Qian Fu is not old, and things are becoming more and more watery, not as delicate as they were then."

Gu Jiu explained for Qian Fu, "it's not Qian Fu's fault! Xiliang blocked the news of Anxi King's death. The people of the intelligence department have all put up their names in the Anxi palace and have been watched by others. It is understandable that the information can not be sent out. ""Do you have a channel? What is the situation in Xiliang now? " Liu Zhao was surprised.

Gu Jiu said: "my news is from the grassland, and it is not very detailed. The death of King Anxi in the first month is said to be sudden. The first day was still holding a banquet to entertain guests, and received a gorgeous woman, the next day suddenly died. Then, the city of Xiliang was under martial law and the news was blocked. The caravan was very lucky to leave Xiliang city before martial law and sent the news to the capital through the grassland commercial road

Liu Zhao frowned, "is it brothers fighting, or are there assassins?"

On the first day of his death, he just received a gorgeous woman, which made people think about the assassin.

Gu Jiu said: "it's impossible for brothers to fight! Pei Meng was in a stable position. Although the brothers were not so harmonious, none of them could threaten his position. I guess either it's a real accident. It's probably a disgraceful death, so I'll block the news. Or you've met an assassin. "

Liu Zhao suddenly realized, "do you mean that King Anxi may have died of the instant wind?"

Gu Jiu nods.

Liu Zhao thought carefully, "it is possible. At that age, if you don't know how to control yourself, it's possible to die dishonorably. It's hard for Pei Meng to cover up the old thing of Anxi king. "

Gu Jiu said: "the fire of the western regions is burning, and it is an undifferentiated slaughterhouse, which is very tragic. We need Anxi palace to fight back and seize people's hearts and territory. Therefore, I hope to make Pei Meng king of Anxi as soon as possible. In addition, the court can provide mercenaries to Anxi palace. "

"Mercenary?" Liu Zhao was curious.

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, "Anxi palace gives money and grain, and we are responsible for giving people and weapons. If there is not enough money and food in Anxi palace, the Shaofu bank can lend him a loan. How to repay the loan can be discussed. "

After that, Gu Jiu dug out the map of the western regions and analyzed with Liu Zhao that if the war in the western regions was left unchecked, there would be great hidden dangers.

We will never compromise in the fight for belief, land and people's will.

Xiliang has been operating for many years and has made some achievements.

Many of the aboriginal children there can speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters.

It's a good start.

Twenty years later, when these people grow up, the whole western regions will be influenced by the Han culture of Xiliang, and the pattern of the western regions will be completely changed.

The premise is that there is no war in the western regions.

However, the situation in the western regions is not very friendly.

So, we have to call back.

Let those crazy war butchers know how powerful Dazhou is.

Don't think you're going to fight.

Zhou is the real ancestor of war.

Liu Zhao looked at the map, and finally he was convinced by Gu Jiu.

We must fight in the western regions.

It's just how and when to fight. We have to discuss with Pei Meng first.

Liu Zhao clenched his chin, "we have to arrange a person to go to Xiliang to negotiate with Pei Meng. In addition, we need to select a general to lead the troops to fight in the western regions. "

"It is easy to choose a general who leads the army, but it is not easy to choose a negotiator."

Gu Jiu has two best candidates: Chen Zhuangshi and Yang Ji.

Both of them have been to Xiliang, and both of them have played in Xiliang. They are very familiar with the situation of Xiliang and the western regions.

However, Chen Zhuangshi is far away from overseas. He is as busy as an animal and has no time to drink.

Yang Ji has just taken office, so it is impossible for him to go to Xiliang to negotiate with Pei Meng.

"How about using Mr. Lu?" Gu Jiu proposed.

After a few days of decadence, he went to Shanhe academy to accompany Zhou Shian, the Duke of Sanyuan, and gave a class in Zhixing Academy.

Later, he gave a class in Guozijian.

He was a big teacher, and he was the biggest official among all the teachers.

His class, students gathered.

It is said that the first class, originally 30 positions, forced to squeeze two or three hundred people.

The students all want to see the style of their predecessors.

Especially for the students who are interested in the imperial examination, the title of zhongshuling is too attractive. Many students want to worship in his name.

Mr. Lu opened up the situation in only one class.

Then, enjoy it, enjoy not miss Shu.

He boasted of his physical strength and gave three classes in one breath.

There is one class in Shanhe academy, one in Zhixing academy and one in Guozijian.

The three academies have a four-day round.

Of course, class fees are also very high.

More than his official income.

Gu Jiu suggested that Mr. Lu should go to Xiliang to negotiate with Pei Meng to determine the overall situation, which also depends on Mr. Lu's qualifications and ability.

Liu Zhao had some doubts, "he is old and has a long way to Xiliang. I'm afraid he can't bear it. And Xiliang conditions are difficult, in case of an accident, it is a great loss. I have lost a hopeless one. I don't want to lose another Mr. Lu. "Gu Jiu thought, "young and middle-aged officials can not find a more suitable candidate than Mr. Lu."

"Why don't you just let Pei family in Beijing come forward?"

"Not suitable!" Gu Jiu directly rejected Liu Zhao's proposal, "the Pei family in the capital city, who can serve as the important task of persuading Pei Meng, can not be found."

Pei Meng is the most outstanding person of Pei family's generation and an old fox.

As soon as king Anxi died, he was the first one worthy of honor.

Gu Rui and Gu GUI are also very powerful. They are also noble and have made great achievements in war. But in front of Pei Meng, not enough.

Yang Ji is expected to be equal with Pei Meng by virtue of his tremendous contributions abroad, but it is not enough to suppress Pei Meng.

If you want to persuade Pei Meng, it's a joke to rely on the Pei family in Beijing.

There were few people who could suppress Pei Meng.

Regardless of his qualifications, military exploits and strategies, Pei Meng has already had the shadow of the top three in the world.

Such a person has to find a more important person to pressure him.

"So, only Mr. Lu?"

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, "if Li Bingming didn't die, he would be the most suitable person. Mr. Lu is the most suitable person for Mr. Li's absence. "

"Then talk to Lao Lu and listen to his ideas."

"I'll talk to him."

Gu Jiu took charge of it.

Liu Zhao didn't have a problem, "I'm so angry that I can't stand grinding and hawing. It's more appropriate for you to come forward. I'm afraid it's not a word that directly overturns the table. "

Gu Jiu disliked him, "you, the older you are, the more irritable you are. You have to learn to cultivate your character and temper. Anger hurts the liver, and health is the most important thing. "

"I just don't want to bear it now!" Liu Zhao's attitude is very direct.

Gu Jiu gave him a glance, and he immediately confessed.

"Go, go, go! I will listen to you. I will cultivate myself, restrain my anger and take care of my health. Oh, my old waist

Liu Zhao made a bitter plan, and Gu Jiu was really nervous.

It's massage and plaster.

Gu Jiu made a decision, "tomorrow I will go to Xiaozhu for summer vacation!"
