Chapter 560 In this life, loyal to the Tang Dynasty
Huang Chunhui sat on his knees, his eyes still drooped, but Yang Xuan felt like he was staring at him.
This feeling was very strange, and it also made him startled.
When did Northern Xinjiang go to war with Chang'an?
Almost no one has thought about this issue.
Huang Chunhui and the emperor had a falling out, but Northern Xinjiang was still the Northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.
The money and grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs were still delivered as usual. Although the proportion of old grain in the grain was higher, it was still edible.
People in northern Xinjiang are used to living a hard life. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they can kill the enemy.
When did the war begin? Why did Huang Chunhui ask this question?
Did he notice something?
After Huang Chunhui fell out with the emperor, the pseudo-emperor made a series of actions, all of which were mainly to contain him.
King Wei was recalled to Chang'an. On the surface, it seemed that the emperor wanted him to become a new target. In fact, was it not to give Northern Xinjiang an opportunity to rebel?
If anyone wants to plot rebellion, he can seize King Wei, make him his lord in name, and use the slogan of "Qing Jun". That's justifiable!
Huang Chunhui would not rebel, and the pseudo-emperor knew this, so he only restrained him.
Where is Liao Jin?
He is already quite old. The key is that Liao Jin’s child is still in prison and he has no children to inherit. He is rebelling. What kind of rebellion is he rebelling for? Who is he rebelling for?
Therefore, it is impossible for Liao Jin to seek treason when he succeeds.
So, who can?
Yang Xuan was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my officials don't understand what I said."
After much calculation, it turned out that only I could do it.
"You are young." Huang Chunhui said calmly.
"A lower official has no ambitions."
"How do you describe ambition? Times make heroes, and no one can say for sure. I am old. If I were ten years younger, I would not dare to say that I would not be born with ambition."
This is absolutely true.
Look at the history books, among those rebels, who was not loyal and conscientious at first?
It's just that the times later created heroes and he acted accordingly.
"Ms. sir, you mean... to be a lower official?" Yang Xuan was shocked.
Huang Chunhui smiled and said: "Everyone knows that I value you. However, you are also worthy of my respect.
How many civil and military officials are there in Northern Xinjiang? How many claim to be great talents? They talk a lot but do little. I will never reuse such people.
However, there are also real talents. However, those talents need experience and tempering.
And you became the governor of Chenzhou at a young age.
At first, I was worried that you would make mistakes, but I just thought that if young people don’t make mistakes, they are still young people? But these days, you make me look at you with admiration."
"My husband is so complimentary." Yang Xuan said shamelessly, "It's all my husband's teachings. However, the lower official is diligent. Others work for four hours a day, but the lower official works for six hours. This is not just about talent, but also about hard work.
!”
"Your face is getting thicker and thicker." Huang Chunhui took a sip of wine and blushed a little, "You think I don't know? You wander around in Chenzhou when you have nothing to do, or go home to accompany your wife, every day
Not to mention six hours in Zhouxi, it would be good to have three."
"A superior cannot do everything by himself!" Yang Xuan did not feel any shame after his true colors were exposed.
"That's right!" Huang Chunhui nodded, "People need face, trees need bark. Many times, the status of the superior is related to face. The thicker the skin, the higher the status."
"What you said is a wise saying!"
"Stop making jokes and answer my questions."
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "Xiaoguan can hear the importance in your words. If Xianguan can take over Northern Xinjiang in the future, the first thing he will do is to prepare for war."
"Where?" Huang Chunhui asked calmly.
"north!"
Yang Xuan pointed to the north, "Bei Liao has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of Northern Xinjiang. If we ignore it, I will think that Northern Xinjiang will not survive for thirty years."
"Why do you say that? Our northern Xinjiang army is not weak, not aggressive enough, and more than capable of protecting itself." Huang Chunhui drank a small drink and looked at Yang Xuan contentedly.
"If the situation remains unchanged, Northern Xinjiang will be able to protect itself." Yang Xuan said, "But Northern Xinjiang is connected to Chang'an. The situation in Chang'an is changing...
Mr. Xian, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your Majesty seems to be in good health and may have ten years left...
But there was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an, and the prince refused to give up. King Wei entered Chang'an and became a new target.
Yang Songcheng and others wanted to send the King of Yue to the East Palace, but the emperor refused.
In addition, the emperor also promoted Liang Jing as his spokesperson. Now Liang Jing is recruiting troops in Chang'an and actively expanding his strength.
It is foreseeable that from now on, Liang Jing and Yang Song will join forces and bring chaos to the court.
They are not for the country, they are for power.
When a country declines, it begins with internal strife.
It would be better if there were no foreign troubles, but the Northern Liao Dynasty is watching with eager eyes, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty is bent on revenge.
Internal strife will lead to chaos in the Tang Dynasty, and northern Xinjiang will also be involved in the whirlpool.
The key is that Northern Xinjiang will definitely become a force fought for by both sides.
Sir, when that time comes, which side shall we stand on? Either side we stand on is wrong.
Moreover, once you take sides, the subsequent retaliation will be particularly brutal.
Think about Pei Jiu back then, my husband, he was the confidant of Emperor Wu, but once the situation in Chang'an was in turmoil, Pei Jiu became an enemy that the newcomer could quickly eliminate."
"What about neutrality?" Huang Chunhui asked calmly.
"My lord, there are conditions for neutrality." Yang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"What conditions?"
"Guanzhong is weak, and Northern Xinjiang is strong."
Playing neutral must be based on strength, otherwise a slap will kill you.
Huang Chunhui said: "So, what do you think, how can we avoid this situation in northern Xinjiang?"
Yang Xuan was silent.
"Can't avoid it?"
"Yes." Yang Xuan said: "Xiaguan is watching the battle between the DPRK and China. Both sides only have power in their eyes and only the other side. As long as whoever can put the overall situation first, then Xiaguan believes that the future of Northern Xinjiang is still optimistic."
The false emperor and his son were able to ignore Northern Xinjiang and wanted to kill Pei Jiu, which shows their narrow-mindedness and their fanaticism for power.
"Where are Yang Songcheng and the others?"
"Ms. Gong, the aristocratic families only have their own family in their eyes. They think that they are a country. As for the Tang Dynasty, as for the dynasty, it is just their place of residence.
Even when dynasties change, they can still be prosperous and wealthy.
Hence the saying: A dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron and steel.
They don't care who rules the Central Plains. What they care about is how much power the ruler can share with them.
If it's too much, they'll support it; if it's too little, then they'll fall out."
Huang Chunhui looked at the wine glass with calm eyes and coughed a few times, "I am very pleased that you can see this.
Chang'an is a whirlpool. Emperors, generals, ministers, and noble families are like countless giant beasts fighting in Chang'an.
The emperor is high in the ninth heaven, with the royal seal on his hand. A word can be like thunder or spring rain.
The family members have accumulated savings for many years and have deep connections so they don’t think twice.
If five members of a family sneeze together, it will rain heavily in the Tang Dynasty.
Do you know why aristocratic families don’t rebel easily?”
Yang Xuan thought about this problem, "If you don't have absolute certainty, if you don't have the support of most families, you will be seeking your own death if you rebel. Even if you succeed, you will be alone, and it won't take long.
It will disappear.”
In another world, Li Tang's success was indispensable without the support of those families.
The admiration in Huang Chunhui's eyes became more and more intense.
The person in charge of Northern Xinjiang must keep an eye on six directions and listen to all directions, especially the overall situation is indispensable.
Northern Xinjiang is not immune to the battle in Chang'an. If the head of the family cannot see the situation clearly, they will be sucked into the whirlpool in an instant.
"I heard that your wife is about to give birth?" Huang Chunhui suddenly changed the subject.
A very friendly topic.
Yang Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's just in spring. I just don't know if it's a cub or a little cotton-padded jacket."
"Little cotton-padded jacket?"
"My husband, my daughter is considerate, so she is called a little cotton-padded jacket."
"That's quite interesting." Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "Little cotton-padded jacket! That cotton wool is not very durable."
This is not cotton from another world, but all kinds of cotton wool.
"It's warm at least!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"For the first child, I thought it would be better for him to be a boy. The eldest son can be like his father, which can temper his sense of responsibility. In addition, having an elder brother around can also control the children below."
This is based on experience.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I have also thought about it, but after thinking about it, no matter what happens, it is my own child."
Huang Chunhui smiled and said, "Being a father for the first time makes me feel uneasy, but also feels amazing. You will slowly understand."
"I have already made a lot of preparations."
Not only names, but also various utensils, Yang Xuan got a lot of them.
"You didn't make a double portion, did you?"
"Yes! One for each boy and one for girls."
Huang Chunhui couldn't help but smile, "By the way, the Jibo tribe has been destroyed. How about the southern part of the town?"
"The southern part of the town heard that northern Xinjiang could not attack, so they took advantage of the official's departure to Chang'an and besieged Lin'an City. However, they just showed off their power and then left the siege."
Xin Wuji was ordered to besiege the city, and he responded to Yang Xuan from a distance.
"Where's the Tiger Control Department?"
"Zhang Zhuo of the Tiger Control Department is cunning and vicious, and there is also intrigue between him and Tanzhou. It is difficult to predict this person's movements."
"So, is there any way?"
"have!"
"What method?"
"If he doesn't come, I'll go!"
…
Huang Chunhui just had a small drink, but he repeatedly encouraged him to drink. After a while, Yang Xuan became a little tipsy.
"I asked you before, if Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an were at war with each other..."
Huang Chunhui suddenly raised his eyebrows and stared at Yang Xuan with his old eyes.
This is a torture!
It is also a test.
I value you.
I think you are good enough to take over Northern Xinjiang in the future.
But, you are too young and have been holding power in Northern Xinjiang for a long time. What will you do?
"Explanation is not very useful." Yang Xuan said: "The more you describe, the darker it gets."
Huang Chunhui was noncommittal.
But there is really no explanation for this kind of thing. Your expression of loyalty is just a slogan in Huang Chunhui's opinion, which is meaningless.
"Ms. sir."
Yang Xuan looked at Huang Chunhui, "How about you give me a hint?"
"You, swear a poisonous oath!"
In this era, legends of ghosts and gods are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and vows are not taken lightly.
Once you make an oath, all ghosts and gods will know about it!
This is a truth known to everyone from the emperor to the old farmers in the village.
Huang Chunhui stared at Yang Xuan, not letting go of his expression.
He is old.
The only one I miss is Northern Xinjiang.
But Northern Xinjiang not only has to face strong enemies from the north, but also has to withstand the violent storm from Chang'an.
To be honest, Huang Chunhui cannot guarantee what he would have done if he were ten years younger.
His long military experience taught him that ambition is never innate, but created.
Liao Jin is old and can't hold on for long.
So, who will be the successor?
He thought about it for a long time, and the officials in Northern Xinjiang considered it one by one.
Think and think!
It seems that that little kid is the best.
In terms of governance ability, from Taiping to Chenzhou, wherever he went, he left behind flourishing things.
In terms of martial arts, from Taiping to Chenzhou, the three major groups went from being unruly to trembling when they heard the name Yang Dog.
Should young people who are excellent in both civil and military skills be reused?
Should!
But he also knows that the younger you are, the more possibilities you have in the future.
When a person holds great power, what will happen in his heart over time?
That feeling of elation, that kind of pride that the world is under your control, will gradually make a person have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
He is old, and occasionally a few thoughts pop up in his mind, but he just laughs at himself.
But Yang Xuan is still young.
There is still a long way to go!
What will happen to him in the future?
Yang Xuan raised his hand, "I swear, I will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty in my life. If I violate it, my clan will be destroyed!"
Huang Chunhui looked at him for a long time and said, "Okay!"
Yang Xuan raised his head and drank the wine, stood up and said with a smile: "Now that my husband is relieved, then I want to make plans to eliminate the two major departments, is it okay?"
"You want to face Tanzhou directly?"
"yes."
"How sure are you?"
"If the lower official can't even deal with Tanzhou, how can he be worthy of your respect?"
"The pride is there, I'll wait and see."
This is giving power.
Go ahead and do it, little boy!
Yang Xuan bowed: "Mr., take care."
Huang Chunhui stood up on his bed and looked at him.
"No matter how strong the wind is, it can't blow away the passion of my Northern Xinjiang son. Even if the sword and gun are in front of me, I will still have no hesitation. This is the fate of my generation of warriors. Do it for the best, I will watch you in Taoxian County."
"yes."
Yang Xuan resigned.
Huang Chunhui hummed a little tune and went back to change into plain clothes.
He wandered all the way to Pei's house.
Pei Jian opened the door and said, "Uncle."
"Have you been out playing recently?"
"Go!"
"Spring has begun and the weather is still cold. Children should be careful not to catch a cold."
"yes."
When we arrived at the backyard, the Pei family were all there, lined up neatly.
"I've met my husband."
"good."
Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "These days will eventually get better and better. I think Brother Ninth will also be happy when he sees this scene."
Pei Jian said: "If Aye were still here, he would definitely be extremely happy."
"I'm going to see Brother Ninth."
"Ms. sir, please follow me."
Pei Jian took Huang Chunhui to the ancestral hall.
Open the door.
Huang Chunhui walked in slowly.
Pick up three sticks of incense, light them, and light them.
Holding three sticks of incense in his hand, Huang Chunhui said softly: "Brother Ninth, before you went to Chang'an, you came to me for a drink. You said a lot that night. I am old and have forgotten many things, but I still remember the last thing you said.
Those words..."
"The father and son only have power in their eyes. Emperor Wu is old and out of control. From now on, our northern border will become more and more difficult.
Difficulties will cause dissatisfaction among the military and civilians in Northern Xinjiang, and if not done, Northern Xinjiang will be at war with Chang'an.
If I raise my sword and shout loudly, I will be able to respond to a hundred responses, and then I will counterattack and attack the key points, and I will be able to rescue Emperor Wu.
But once troops were launched, the Tang Dynasty would be finished.
I have been heroic all my life, but the father and son are extremely jealous. But even at this moment, I dare to say that I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"
Huang Chunhui coughed dryly and said, "I am getting old. Brother Ninth and Liao Jin are also getting old. I have been thinking about who should be the successor. I have been thinking about it for a long time.
Recently I have taken a fancy to a young man.
You will definitely ask, what are the strengths of that young man?
After I and Liao Jin, no one in northern Xinjiang can match them in terms of governance ability and martial arts.
But he is too young after all, so I have been hesitant, thinking that if I keep suppressing him, he will be able to hone his skills for a few more years.
Today, this is what I thought. But in the end, I changed my mind.
Brother Ninth, you will definitely laugh at me for changing my order every day, for being unstable, right?
Sir, stay calm!
But at that moment, when I looked at him, I felt like I saw you back then, with the same look, almost pious, and the same words, I will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
He put three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
Turn around.
"Next time, let's continue talking when we go underground."

At the beginning of the month, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
