Hearing Yang Fan explain his plans one by one, His Majesty Li Er felt happy and sad at the same time.
Fortunately, their goals are the same, and they are all working hard for the prosperity of the empire.
The worry is, I don't know if Yang Fan's plan will succeed.
Even though there are many noble families in Jiangnan, as an emperor, I dare not say that I can join them.
Once a unified port is established, it will definitely become the enemy of the entire Jiangnan gentry.
But since Yang Fan has such confidence, His Majesty Li Er certainly wants to let him go and try his luck.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Er waved his hand and said: "I have already written down this matter. At the right time, I will let the political affairs hall discuss it first. I am a little tired, so you can leave first."
Although His Majesty Li Er heard this, his blood was boiling, but he was not hot-headed. He thought it was better to be cautious.
"No!" Yang Fan bowed and prepared to exit the hall.
Yang Fan was not anxious about His Majesty Li Er's ambiguous words.
What's more, after the trip to Jiangnan, there are still several months left before the wedding!
The reason why I bring it up now is that His Majesty Li Er happened to ask about it.
The other is to plant a seed in His Majesty Li Er's heart so that he can be prepared.
Seeing that Yang Fan was about to turn around and go out, His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "After you go out, your boy will wait for a while at Chengtian Gate and take the people back together."
At first, His Majesty Li Er was a little reluctant to give Xu Hui to Yang Fan.
But now that Yang Fan has provided clues to catch Li Chenggong, as the emperor, it is impossible not to reward him, so he can only reluctantly part with him.
But Yang Fan was confused and had no idea what His Majesty Li Er was talking about.
Take people back!
who?
When he asked for Xu Hui, His Majesty Li Er never made any move. Yang Fan thought it was a shame and had already forgotten it.
With a head full of questions, Yang Fan came to Chengtian Gate.
Apart from the soldiers guarding the city, no one was seen here.
Yang Fan raised his head and looked at the sky. The sunset had begun to fade, and the sky was filled with red flames.
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, so rows of birds flew towards the Weishui River.
Looking at the picturesque scenery, Yang Fan couldn't help but write poetry: "The falling clouds and the solitary swans fly together, the spring water and the sky are the same color..."
"Wannian County Duke is truly unparalleled in poetry. He writes masterpieces that fit the occasion. I am lucky enough to be able to listen to his new works..."
A sudden sound sounded, startling Yang Fan.
Turning around, he saw a young man in Confucian robes and a high crown standing in front of him, who was currently giving him the courtesy of a junior.
Well, this young man Yang Fan felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
After thinking carefully for a while, Yang Fan felt a flash of surprise.
Isn't this guy the same policeman who handled the conflict between him and Wei Siye?
Why are you dressed like a student now?
"It turns out to be Brother Pei. I almost couldn't recognize you with your outfit. Why are you here? Are you not on duty?" Yang Fan smiled slightly and said hello.
Seeing that Yang Fan could still recognize him, the young man was very excited and quickly replied: "I have to thank you, sir. After handling the conflict between you and Mr. Wei last time, I was recommended by Shangfeng, and now you are studying in the Imperial College."
Yang Fan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this boy treated him like a disciple.
As the examiner of the imperial examination, this position has not been removed. There is nothing wrong with young people saluting like this.
So Yang Fan couldn't deny it and said: "This is your fate, what does it have to do with me? But we are really destined to meet here."
"By the way, I didn't thank you for what happened last time. Because I was in a hurry at the time, I didn't remember Brother Pei's name. Please don't take offense. What do you call me?"
The young man looks a few years older than Yang Fan, so there is nothing wrong with calling him brother.
What's more, this young man was very discerning and Yang Fan was very optimistic about him!
The young man was a little frightened: "My surname is Pei, my last name is Xingjian, and my last name is Shouyue. I am from Hedong. My father-in-law can just say that I will keep my promise."
"My father-in-law is a third-rank official of the imperial court and the chief examiner of the imperial examination. This junior is now a student of the Imperial College and will have to take the exam in the future. How dare you take on the role of brother?"
"Furthermore, my father-in-law is not only a great scholar who wrote books and biographies, but also a famous poet among the scholars. He is really a disgrace to the younger generation."
"The poem just now has a profound artistic conception. I wonder if my father-in-law can give me some advice?"
Yang Fan gave a bitter smile and said modestly: "I didn't write any poems. I just just expressed a few lines of emotion, just those two lines!"
Pei Xingjian said with some regret: "There are only two sentences? That's a pity. Although these two poems are simple in words, the artistic conception contained in them is endlessly memorable. They describe the evening scenery vividly. Gongye Tianzong
We don’t have as many talented people as we do.”
Yang Fan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
However, this young man really knows how to praise others.
Although these two lines of poetry were plagiarized by me, I still feel a little happy in my heart.
Who doesn’t want to be admired by others!
But soon Yang Fan was stunned, obviously he had some hindsight!
What did this guy just say?
His name is Pei Xingjian, from Hedong?
My good boy!
I used to be blind to gold and jade, but this guy is a god-level figure.
In the early Tang Dynasty, there were many civil servants and military generals, but there were very few who achieved great achievements in all aspects.
The Pei Xingjian in front of me is such an outstanding person, and his life is full of legend.
Not only did this man hold the civil and military positions of Minister of Rites, Grand General, and Grand Governor, he also shocked the Western Regions several times and defeated the Tubo Turks.
In the original history, the Khans Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhepu of the ten Turkic tribes lured the affiliated tribes to harass Anxi, formed an alliance with Tubo, and the court prepared to conquer.
Pei Xingjian suggested: "Tubo is domineering and arrogant. It is in its period of strength. Li Jingxuan failed in the conquest and Liu Shenli has been beheaded. How can it cause another accident on the western border?"
"Now that the King of Persia is dead, his son Ni Nishi is a hostage in Chang'an. If we send an envoy to send Ni Ni Shi back to Persia to inherit the throne, he will pass through the Turks and Tibet. If we use strategies to solve the problem, we can solve the problem without any effort.
It will succeed."
Emperor Gaozong then ordered Pei Xingjian to escort the Persian king with the edict and serve as the ambassador to appease him.
When Pei Xingjian and his party crossed the Mohe Yanqi Desert, sand and rocks were flying, and the day seemed like night.
The guide lost his way, and the soldiers were hungry and tired.
Pei Xingjian then ordered the camp to be held to hold sacrifices, and sent an order: "The spring is not far away."
The soldiers felt a little relieved, and soon the clouds cleared and the wind calmed down.
The Tang army walked several hundred steps forward. There were abundant water springs and luxuriant vegetation. The people coming behind did not know where they were.
Everyone was surprised. Finally, everyone arrived in Xizhou safely, and officials from various subject countries came out of the city to greet them.
So Pei Xingjian recruited more than a thousand talented people from the local area to follow him westward.
At the same time, public opinion was created saying: "The weather is too hot and we cannot move forward. We should stay and wait for autumn."
After Ashina Duzhi received this information, he did not set up any defenses.
Pei Xingjian calmly summoned the chiefs of the four towns of Qiuci, Khotan, Shule, and Suiye, pretending to invite them to hunt, and said to them:
"I have never forgotten my interest in hunting. Who wants to go hunting with me?"
Due to Pei Xingjian's encouragement, there were tens of thousands of local young people willing to follow him.
So Pei Xingjian secretly led his team and set off.
Due to the accelerated march, it took only a few days to reach only more than ten miles away from Ashina Duzhi's camp.
Pei Xingjian first sent people close to Ashinadu to greet him, saying that he was not here to attack.
Then he sent someone to quickly summon Ashina Duzhi.
Ashina Duzhi had originally agreed with Li Zhepu to fight against the team escorting the King of Persia in the autumn.
Later, when I heard that the Tang army had arrived, I couldn't think of a countermeasure in a hurry, so I had to lead more than 500 subordinates to Pei Xingjian's military camp to see him, and he was captured by him.
On the same day, Pei Xingjian passed Ashina's bow and arrows for use as a talisman, summoned the chiefs of each tribe to plead for him, and escorted them to Suiye City together.
Pei Xingjian selected elite cavalry, lightly armed and simple, to attack Li Zhepei.
During the march, Pei Xingjian captured Li Zhepei's envoy. He released the envoy and asked the envoy to inform Li Zhebei that Ashina Duzhi had been captured.
After hearing the news, Li Zhepu surrendered and was escorted to Chang'an together with Ashina Duzhi and others.
The officers carved a stone tablet for Pei Xingjian in Suiye City to record his achievements.
After returning to China, Emperor Gaozong personally held a banquet to express his condolences to Pei Xingjian and said: "Pei Xingjian led his lone army thousands of miles away, captured the rebels and quelled the rebellion without fighting. It can be said that he was a combination of civility, Taoism and military strategy. He can be awarded the title of Ming Dynasty at the same time.
There are two official positions: civil servant and military commander."
He was immediately appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Right Guard General of the School.
So from this story we can know that Pei Xingjian was a legendary figure in the Gaozong period.
Of course, this is just his ability in marching and fighting.
Pei Xingjian's greatest skill is his ability to recognize and employ people.
In later generations, people spoke highly of him: he was thrifty and knew how to use people well, and all those he appreciated were famous generals.
This means that as long as this guy has a talent in his sights, he has never looked at it.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Prime Minister Li Jingxuan highly praised the talents of Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and King Luo Bin and recommended them to Pei Xingjian.
But Pei Xingjian looked down upon these people.
We must know that these people are all famous talents among the scholars, so Pei Xingjian explained: "People who want to be officials must have lofty ambitions. If they want to achieve success, they must put measurement and insight first, and literary skills first.
Secondly.”
"Although people like Wang Bo are rich in literature and talent, they are frivolous, impatient, and love to show off. How can they be people who do great things?"
"Yang Jiong is more stable and cautious. He can be the county magistrate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the others to end well."
The fact was just as he expected.
These people have made some achievements in the literary world, but they have done nothing in the officialdom.
Most of the people he personally recommended and introduced became famous generals in the world, such as... Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Liu Jingtong...
Including the talents who were appointed as governors by him, there are dozens of people.
Therefore, Pei Xingjian's vision is as if he is cheating.
Even as a time traveler, Yang Fan dare not say that he has a better eye for people than he does.
It is said that the reason why Pei Xingjian is so powerful is that he is proficient in the art of physiognomy based on the yin and yang calendar and the five elements.
Not only can he recognize people, but he can predict the favorable time every time he fights, and he can often win the battle without losing any direction.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Pei Xingjian could be said to be a famous general among famous generals.
In the third year of Jianzhong's reign, Yan Zhenqing suggested to Tang Dezong that 64 famous ancient generals should be honored and temples should be built to commemorate them, including Pei Xingjian.
In the fifth year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty followed the practice of the Tang Dynasty and built temples for famous ancient generals. Among the seventy-two famous generals, Pei Xingjian was also included.
From these achievements, we can see that Pei Xingjian is indeed a powerful person.
I just didn't expect that this guy was actually a police officer.
After thinking about it, Yang Fan was not surprised.
Pei Xingjian's arrogant life began after the imperial examination high school.
This guy has just changed his career and entered the Imperial College to study. It will take some time for him to soar into the sky.
According to historical records, after Pei Xingjian was selected in the economics examination, he was awarded the title of General Su Dingfang and taught military thaumaturgy, which started his legendary life.
However, now that Su Dingfang is working for him, I wonder if the two of them still have the fate of master and disciple.
For a moment, Yang Fan looked at Pei Xingjian with a somewhat inexplicable look.
Without Su Dingfang's teachings, could Pei Xingjian have achieved such high achievements as in the original history?
Yang Fan couldn't help but wonder, does His Majesty Li Er have the ability to predict the future?
Knowing that this guy has Su Dingfang's guidance, he can reach his greatest potential.
His Majesty Li Er asked himself to wait for someone here. Could it be that this guy was the one he was waiting for?
When Yang Fan looked at Pei Xingjian, Pei Xingjian looked at Yang Fan with eyes full of admiration and admiration.
At this time, Pei Xingjian was only twenty years old. It was a time when a man was flourishing and rebuilding his heroic dream.
Yang Fan led thousands of governors and soldiers to conquer Tubo and killed 100,000 Tibetan cavalry until rivers of blood flowed.
He even incorporated all the territory of Tubo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Such a great achievement was enough for Yang Fan to leave his name in history!
Even though Pei Xingjian was of noble birth and claimed to be a talented man in both civil and military fields, he became cautious and uneasy in front of Yang Fan...
Although being a catcher is just a matter of experience, compared to Yang Fan's abilities and achievements.
If Yang Fan is compared to a golden dragon fish, then Pei Xingjian is just a small fish and shrimp!
The gap between the two is all-round!
Because of the huge gap, Pei Xingjian had no jealousy at all, but was full of admiration and admiration.
Of course, Yang Fan also had a good impression of Pei Xingjian, so he said with a smile: "Keep our promise, we couldn't get together last time because things were urgent. Now that we meet, we are destined. If we keep our promise and have nothing else to do, why not go to me
How about a drink at my house?"
After hearing this, Pei Xingjian certainly couldn't ask for it.
Yang Fan is now the idol of the younger generation of Tang Dynasty.
Not only was he a man of literary and military skills, he was also granted the title of County Duke by His Majesty for his merits, which was the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Yang Fan is about to marry Princess Gaoyang, who is a relative of the emperor.
Not everyone has the opportunity to get close to such a person!
Even though Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family of Hedong, he was extremely proud, but he also felt flattered.
So Pei Xingjian immediately said with tears of gratitude: "My lord is so kind to invite me, and Xingjian dare not say goodbye! I have admired my lord for a long time. How lucky am I to have the honor of having a drink with my lord?"
Yang Fan nodded happily and chinned slightly.
Yang Fan was very optimistic about Pei Xingjian's ability to do big things without sticking to trivial matters.
But then, Yang Fan suddenly remembered something, looked embarrassed, and asked: "Shou, are you the one Huang Emperor asked you to come here to wait for me?"
Pei Xingjian looked confused and asked curiously: "Is your Majesty waiting for someone here? I just came out of the library in Guozijian and did not receive your Majesty's order."
Yang Fan also had a question mark on his face.
His Majesty Li Er asked him to wait for someone at Chengtian Gate. Who is that?
At this moment, Yang Fan spotted out of the corner of his eye that the old eunuch Wang Huangui was leading someone out of the palace.
Because the person behind him was petite and had his head lowered, Yang Fan didn't see it very clearly.
When the two approached, Yang Fan saw clearly that the person following them was none other than Xu Hui, a talented woman from the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Fan really wants to say a national curse - I Ⅹ.
I thought there was no hope, but I didn't know that His Majesty Li Er was actually willing to fulfill his promise.
In this way, wouldn't this future noble concubine become his own woman?
Adhering to the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard, Yang Fan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!"
As he spoke, Yang Fan glanced at Xu Hui who was following him, and a slight smile appeared on Yang Fan's face.
The old eunuch Wang Huangui said with a smile: "My lord, you are so polite! I have already brought you here, so I left. However, my lord is so lucky!"
Although Xu Hui lowered her head at this time, if you look closely, you can still see that she has a beautiful face, a slim body, a head full of black hair pulled up into a bun, and a pair of autumn-like eyes that look carefully at Yang Fan from time to time.
Some are helpless, some are afraid, some are longing... I feel pity for them all.
Pei Xingjian was also dumbfounded.
Of course he was not shocked by Xu Hui's beauty, but because His Majesty Li Er actually gave a woman from the palace to Yang Fan.
You must know that the women in the palace, except for the maids, are all the emperor's women.
Judging from the temperament of the woman in front of her, she is not dressed like a palace maid at all.
Then there is only one possibility, the woman in front of me entered the palace as a show girl.
To put it bluntly, these beautiful ladies are the wives prepared for His Majesty Li Er.
Now His Majesty Li Er gave his wife to Yang Fan, which is simply unbelievable. How could Pei Xingjian not be shocked?
Yang Fan ignored Pei Xingjian's strange eyes, took a step forward, stared at Xu Hui and asked, "Are you willing to go back home with me?"
It is undeniable that Yang Fan covets this talented woman, but after all, he still has the most basic bottom line.
If Xu Hui is unwilling to go back with him, Yang Fan will never force him. This is the bottom line he sticks to.
Xu Hui raised her eyes, looked at the young talent in front of her, and nodded lightly.
"Pipa Play", "When will the bright moon come", "Love of Lotus"... these classic poems that will be remembered for centuries are all written by Yang Fan.
As a talented woman, of course I want to discuss with such a talented person.
What's more, from the moment His Majesty Li Er sent her away, there were only two choices.
Either die, or follow Yang Fan back home.
If you turn back now, you will only die!
If an ant lives in vain, let alone a human being?
Besides, Yang Fan doesn't seem to be as 'evil' as the rumors say.
Yang Fan was in a good mood and laughed loudly: "Then come with me."
After saying this, he waved to Pei Xingjian, who was standing dumbly.
