A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

On the second day, the 30 reinforcements from the Hexi Corridor finally arrived. Xue Rengui looked at the terrain on the map, and a full-scale counterattack against Rome was about to arrive.

Di Renjie walked into the tent and said to Xue Rengui: "The firearms are enough."

"En." Xue Rengui nodded slightly, looked at the terrain on the map and said: "The Roman army is located in the valley. If we want to attack, we have to enter the canyon where the cannibal was before. That canyon is not a place for us to expand." Good place for firearms use, the terrain is too cramped."

Di Renjie looked at the map and said: "The terrain is not good, so we changed the terrain and blown up the entire canyon."

"How many firearms are needed to blow up this canyon."

Di Renjie circled a few points on the map and said: "The canyon also has support points. As long as the support points are blown up, the entire canyon will collapse, just like pulling a thousand catties."

"How sure are you and how many firearms do you need?" Xue Rengui then asked.

"It's not too much, I'll make arrangements." After speaking, Di Renjie left in a hurry.

Xue Ji on the other side of the battlefield also heard the news, and he vaguely understood why Rome did this. If it wasn't for Rome standing behind, the Dashi had already lost this time.

"General Wang." Wu Laoqi ran profusely and said, "The Roman army in Tianzhu has withdrawn."

"Withdrawn?" Xue Ji was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he wasn't too moved.

Wang Xuance tidied up and stood up and said, "Let's all get ready, a big battle is about to happen, and we'll go home after this fight, at least our way home won't be blocked by anyone."

Changan

Li Chengqian has been paying attention to the Western battle reports these days. The two battle reports are not good news, but they can be regarded as blocking the cannibals. According to the current situation, as long as the 30 reinforcements from the Hexi Corridor arrive in Tubo, the chances of winning will be greater.

These days, Li Chengqian also specially visited Li Jing and Qin Qiong to ask how the battle will develop.

After several visits, it can be confirmed that as long as Xue Rengui does not have any major problems, the chances of winning this battle are very high. Although the front line is long and the transportation of food and grass is difficult, it will save trouble if Tubo gives Datang food and grass. It is the rear of Rome, all the way There are many enemies in the Eastern Expedition to Rome, and it is Rome that is more prone to problems.

After returning to Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian was about to rest for a while, when Wang Jin came to report in small steps: "Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Xie family committed suicide."

Hearing this news, Li Chengqian opened his eyes, and the original drowsiness disappeared without a trace, so he could only say: "Call Chu Suiliang here."

"Yes." Wang Jin bowed and agreed to leave quietly.

Putting on his clothes again, Li Chengqian thought about the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River and immediately said when Chu Suiliang came over: "The head of the Xie family committed suicide, do you know what happened?"

"Your servant has also heard about it." Chu Suiliang bowed and said, "Now Dali Temple Minister Di Renjie is not here, but both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs have handed over documents. This time, the suicide of the Patriarch of the Xie family has a lot to do with some officials in the south of the Yangtze River. "

"Really?" Li Chengqian's expression was very bad.

As soon as Chaotang did something to Jiangnan, Jiangnan was already in a mess, and Li Chengqian felt powerless.

"Your Majesty, now that the Xie family is falling apart, many snakes, insects, rats and ants have surfaced." Chu Suiliang glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "I think the net can be closed, but after the net is closed, the current chaos in the south of the Yangtze River must be calmed down."

"How to calm down?"

"It's time for Gu Houye to leave the position of Xiangguo."

Hearing these words, Li Chengqian fell silent. The atmosphere outside the Manna Palace under the scorching sun was very quiet and a bit gloomy.

Shang Shusheng and Pei Xingjian heard Shangguanyi's words, and said angrily: "What does the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River have to do with the teacher!? They themselves are rotten in their bones, so why let the teacher abdicate for this reason! It's not fair."

"Calm down." Shangguanyi looked at Pei Xingjian excitedly and said, "Perhaps this is Gu Qing's own arrangement."

Pei Xingjian could even hear his own breathing, and he threw down the memorial in his hand with anger and said: "If you want the teacher to leave the position of Xiangguo just like this, you tell Li Chengqian! This minister ordered me to quit!"

After Pei Xingjian left angrily, Shangguanyi bowed to pick up the memorial that Pei Xingjian threw on the ground.

On the morning of the second day, as Shangguanyi expected, Pei Xingjian did not go to the court, and the court hall was surprisingly quiet. Except for the six reports, everyone remained silent, as if there was a posture that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building. .

Suddenly it seemed like everyone knew what was going to happen.

After going down to court, Shangguanyi followed Chu Suiliang's footsteps.

"I know what you're going to ask, but don't ask now, I'm also confused." Chu Suiliang said.

Shangguanyi stepped forward and grabbed Chu Suiliang's sleeve, "Are you really going to do this?"

Facing Shangguanyi's questioning, Chu Suiliang turned around and said angrily, "Didn't you find out too? Gu Qing has too much power!"

"These rights are not what Gu Qing wants!" Shangguanyi said loudly.

Shangguanyi's loud words made the officials who had been in the court in twos and threes stop to look over, and everyone in front of the Tai Chi Hall looked at the two of the three ministers.

Chu Suiliang stared at Shangguanyi and said, "This is also what Gu Qing wanted."

"Why don't you ask Gu Qing if he is willing!" Shangguanyi pointed in the direction of Gu Cun and said loudly.

The two started arguing in front of the Tai Chi Hall. This was really the first time they had encountered it. Many people felt a little uneasy. After the quiet, the officials dispersed in twos and threes. They had to listen to the wind and wait for the result between Gu Qing and the royal family. .

Chu Suiliang left with a wave of his sleeves, and Shangguanyi stood alone in front of the Taiji Hall. Everything can't get around Gu Qing's layout.

Shangguanyi sat in front of the steps of the Taiji Hall, feeling very worried and uncomfortable. After so many years, since he walked into Chang'an like a beggar, it was Gu Qing who gave him a bowl of rice, and it was Gu Qing who gave him a bowl of rice. the Academy.

Thinking about all kinds of things at the beginning, Shangguanyi feels that she can stand in this position now, and can show her talents in the court. All these things are in the end the opportunity that Gu Qing gave herself, and she owes Gu Qing a favor. There are too many favors owed to Gu Qing in this court.

Under Gu Qing's unknowing management over the years, many people have such inextricable connections with Gu Qing, let alone Di Renjie and Xue Rengui, even if all the poor students in the court come out of the academy and enter the court, how many people are there? Everyone remembers Gu Qing's kindness in their hearts.

The entire academy is carried by Gu Qing alone, who else is there besides Gu Qing?

After thinking for a long time, Shangguanyi came to Ganlu Hall and stood in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was replying to Zhou Zhang. Seeing Shangguanyi standing still for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Shangguanyi, just say what you want."

With a long sigh, Shangguanyi edited and said: "Your Majesty, Gu Qing has made contributions to the community."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian put down the pen in his hand and said: "I know, and I know even more how much Gu Qing has contributed to Sheji. I thank him, and future generations of our Li family will remember Gu Qing."

"Your Majesty!" Shangguanyi said to Li Chengqian, "Is it necessary to let Gu Qing abdicate to calm down the Jiangnan situation?"

"This is Chu Suiliang's decision, I..." At this point, Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Back then, Gu Qing told me that only his disciple Pei Xingjian could make him abdicate, and no one else could. I am the emperor, but I Gu Qing cannot be allowed to abdicate, Shangguanyi, do you think this sounds absurd and ridiculous?"

"I think it makes sense," Shangguanyi said.

Unexpectedly, Shangguanyi would do this. Li Chengqian twitched his brows, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "This time Gu Qing abdicates, will you follow suit? Will Pei Xingjian follow suit? Manchu civil and military must follow suit ?"

"Your Majesty! Don't let people feel cold. The turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River is not Gu Qing's fault. It is a long-standing criticism. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. This has nothing to do with Gu Qing."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, you guys teach me how to do it!"

"Your Majesty wants Gu Qing to be the second Shang Yang!" Shangguanyi confronted Li Chengqian and shouted.

"Shangguanyi!" Li Chengqian jumped at the table.
