Only half a month had passed since the day of the cane punishment, and all the injuries of the officers of the Tongwu Camp had been fully recovered.
As they were about to leave for Anxi, there was no room for a moment's delay in the training of the Long March athletes. General Li Kuo and Li issued strict orders. If the recruits were not trained as they should be, the corresponding drill officers would be slapped. In order to prevent Zun Butt from suffering another disaster,
Everyone worked hard not to embarrass themselves, General Li, and the Shule Army.
Li Kuo reorganized the Long March athletes into two camps, Yiwu and Yongwu, each with 500 men. With the addition of the Tongwu, Xiongwu and Zhenwu battalions, the actual strength in the hands of the young man had reached 2,500.
More than a hundred people. The remaining 2,500 people are still stationed in Shule City. After the young man leads the army into Anxi, he will be handed over to him personally by Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi.
After several months of training, the Yongwu and Yiwu battalions have gradually begun to look like regular armies, and their formations are really majestic. The young man wanted to leave Chang'an early, and seeing that the second battalion had made some progress, he wrote a brochure and handed it over
The Holy Sage asked to resign before his departure.
From the young man's point of view, if you are farther away from Chang'an, you may be farther away from right and wrong. The situation in the court is changing rapidly, and the censors only need to seize the right opportunity and use their pens to seize the heads of high-ranking officials. This is
The muddy water in Chang'an City is really not something that a little soldier like him can wade through.
At the beginning of the New Year, Li Linfu's condition worsened. Not only did he talk like crazy, his eyes would turn white and he would foam at the mouth when eating. His Majesty the Emperor sent the imperial physician to visit for condolences, but with little success. The soul of Lord Xiangguo
It seemed that the Lord of Hell had taken out his body, and he kept talking nonsense. Finally, the imperial doctor shook his head, prescribed a prescription to soothe the mind and nourish the body, and left the house. Although the prime minister's house hired famous doctors from all over the country, and the prescriptions were changed one by one.
But he failed to save the old Xiangguo's life.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Linfu finally died of illness in his sleep, and the whole government mourned for a while. His Majesty the Emperor had a meeting with Li Linfu and his ministers. He was extremely sad to see the old Prime Minister die of illness, and ordered the entire city of Chang'an to see the old Prime Minister off and banned all entertainment activities.
However, it was a standard reserved for royal family funerals, and it was considered a supreme honor for Li Linfu to receive such treatment.
It's just that the affairs of the imperial court are really a basin of muddy water, and it's hard to see clearly! A few days after the old prime minister's body was enshrined and buried, an official from the Yushitai wrote a memorial to impeach Li Linfu for colluding with the general Absi for conspiring.
Rebellion. This memorial shocked the government and the public as soon as it was submitted, and His Majesty the Emperor was even more furious.
There were also some accusations against Li Linfu for colluding with foreigners, such as saying that Lin Fu secretly sold iron weapons and used the weapons to feed the people, and others accusing Lin Fu of borrowing swords to kill people and harming Shule's military commander Li Kuo. However, these accusations either lacked evidence or were too high.
Because of their sensitivity, they are all stone cows thrown into the sea. As soon as they are presented, the message is lost.
And this time the memorial named and thanked the person Li Linfu colluded with. This person was Shuofang Jiedu Envoy Absi. This person was a military governor who held Turkic cavalry!
His Majesty the Emperor is most afraid of courtiers making friends with generals, not to mention that the people involved in this matter are the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the Jiedu of the town.
Faced with such conclusive 'evidence', His Majesty the Emperor ordered the removal of all Li Linfu's titles, awards, and the seizure of the Prime Minister's Mansion. For a time, the Prime Minister's family was in a state of flux, moving from place to place, and the situation was quite sad.
A person as powerful as Li Linfu would end up in such a miserable situation after his death, not to mention those rotten fish and shrimps. Therefore, the young man hoped to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.
But as luck would have it, Li Kuo had already submitted his resignation letter to His Majesty the Emperor for more than ten days, but there was no response at all. The remaining 9,000 Long March athletes left Chang'an City one by one under the leadership of their generals.
In the end, only his Shule army was left unable to make the trip. The young man went to the Ministry of War to ask for documents, but Cui Qian, the Minister of Soldiers and Horses, only advised him not to be anxious. The Ministry of War had to wait for His Majesty's approval...
Three days ago, an envoy was appointed to the palace and brought back His Majesty's imperial edict. As for the content of the edict, it was nothing more than praising Li Kuo for his skill in commanding troops and his loyalty, and hoped that the young man could do his best and not let the emperor's favor slip away.
cliche mandarin.
Li Kuo sent the envoy away with great gratitude, and a stone fell in his heart.
After receiving the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, Li Kuo was confident when he found Cui Qian again. When the Ministry of War handed over the prepared documents to him, he kept company with him. The young man only thought it was funny and didn't say anything more.
It is common knowledge that Li Kuo and Gao Xiuyan had a rift. General Gao lost his official position because of this. Although he saved his life, he hated Li Kuo deeply.
Therefore, the generals repeatedly advised him to take the initiative to write a letter of divorce and say hello to the governor of Anxi. However, Li Kuo did not do so. For one thing, he and Gao Xianzhi were not familiar with each other, so doing so was quite coy and artificial, which would make the other party angry.
Secondly, this move was suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, and the young man was afraid that he would be betrayed.
Do you think that Gao Xianzhi, as a town's Jiedu, is still tolerant?
...
...
The red candle flame cradled the waist, illuminating the long silent night.
In the camp, Li Kuo read "The Art of War" and compared it with actual military writings.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother!"
Pei Hui's slightly childish voice sounded outside the camp. Li Kuo put down the military book in his hand and stood up to greet him.
The soldiers were already familiar with Mr. Pei's family, so they gently opened the curtain and welcomed Pei Hui in. Mr. Pei didn't know where his heart was tied, and he staggered to the front of Li Kuo and screamed.
"Hey, be careful. What happened? Why did you come to the military camp to find me?" Li Kuo patted Pei Hui on the back and asked in a friendly voice.
"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother...you go faster. Don't take the official road or pass the city gate when marching. It's best, it's best to take a detour through the desert!"
Pei Hui gasped three times in one sentence. After finishing the whole sentence, the young man didn't understand what he wanted to express.
"Why should we take a detour instead of taking a good official road? And cross the desert? Even if we gritted our teeth and endured it, we were afraid that the animals under our crotches would not agree."
Li Kuo only found it funny. Pei Hui was a child after all, and what he was thinking about was indeed insufficient.
"No, don't hesitate. Don't stop when you leave Chang'an. Remember, don't enter the city gate if you can't. After leaving Yangguan, go all the way west and don't look back!"
Pei Hui just shook his head and smiled bitterly. There were some things he couldn't say, he really couldn't say. He could only do this. He was a member of the Yang family, and he couldn't betray the Yang family.
"Do you think it's me who wants to kill him? It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty!"
Yang Zhao's twisted and terrifying face appeared in Pei Hui's mind again, and the young man shuddered involuntarily.
If His Majesty wanted to kill him, where in the vast world could he escape to?
