Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

And Yuan Gaisu's first reaction was that this man was hiding a knife in his smile. It is not a good thing for him to put people in Goguryeo, because in the heart of this great opponent Lu, he firmly remembers what Du Shaoqing did in Hebei Road back then, which is enough to prove This person is cruel to Goguryeo.

But if he disagreed, the other party could also secretly send people in as scouts, which would be even more difficult to deal with, so on the surface, Yuan Gaisu had already thought through the situation thoroughly.

After inquiring about the business scope of Du Shaoqing's caravan in detail, the big pair Lu showed enough enthusiasm that the people of Goguryeo just needed you.

The two shook hands, and from then on, Goguryeo was open to the Du family caravan of the Tang Dynasty, and the Du family would supply Goguryeo with all kinds of urgently needed goods to the maximum extent, even including the secretly smuggled salt and iron trade.

It is precisely because of this huge bait that Yuan Gaisu is a little confused. Is this Du Shaoqing working for Datang, or is he using his identity for personal gain?Datang forbids private trade of salt and iron, and smuggling it to other countries is a felony. How dare he be so bold?

The promise to Du Shaoqing is not because of trust, but because no matter what the purpose of Datang is, these are beneficial and harmless to Goguryeo. Everyone in the Du family caravan will work under the strict supervision of Goguryeo, so there is no fear of what they do secretly destroy.

This is Yuan Gaisu's self-confidence, but he did not expect that an upright conspiracy is often the simplest and most impeccable, and also the most invisible, and even if the other party detects it, they cannot refuse it.

Du Shaoqing blatantly had an affair with Gao Guli's envoy, Chang'an City was full of eyeliners, no one would see it, if it was left to others, a few days ago he dared to accept a large number of valuable medicinal materials from Goguryeo, he would be impeached and convicted.

But this person is Du Shaoqing, so many people hesitated, and even said they just gave up. Although Du Shaoqing debuted less than two years ago, he is too favored. Shou Yu Shinan's disciple, under various titles, is a figure whose strength is comparable to that of a prince.

It should be said that it is more solid than the prince, because even the princes will impeach each other because of fighting each other.

But Du Shaoqing does not hold real power, and has no conflict of interest with almost everyone, so no one will have nothing to do to provoke this person, and pure effort is not thankful.

There is another very important reason, that is, Du Shaoqing is not easy to be impeached. Last year, Taiji Hall was suppressed for murder on the spot. Is there any crime more serious than this?

However, no one has impeached him in the past few days, which makes Li Er a little anxious. No one can impeach him. I must impeach him personally to show the rigor of my Tang system. After their private contact.

In the end, in desperation, Li Er had no choice but to secretly find someone to come forward. The reason for impeachment was that Du Shaoqing accepted bribes, used his power for personal gain, and used the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to arbitrarily make friends with envoys from other countries.

Ever since, less than five days after Du Shaoqing's Honglu Temple Shaoqing officially took up his post, he was taken down by Emperor Li Er's decree, and he was deprived of his official position and went home to be a comfortable son-in-law. Work again.

The Honglu Temple Zhengqing who had been restored to his original post, but everyone in the Taiji Hall saw that he had no goodwill towards the envoys of other countries, so many envoys secretly complained.

Du Shaoqing is quitting, I call it both public and private, isn't it also the responsibility of Honglu Temple to entertain friends from neighboring countries?

After being driven home by the emperor, Du Shaoqing simply opened the door, and invited several envoys from other countries to his home with invitation cards, making friends blatantly. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that this Concubine Du likes to make friends with other races, and he even euphemistically said: There is no such thing as friends!

Such a style quickly won the favor of all the envoys of other countries, except of course, the envoys of West Turks and Gaochang, these two groups of people have already been cast a shadow.

Originally, many people said that Du Shaoqing was acting out of anger, but the incident became more and more serious, and Du Shaoqing had no intention of stopping at all, so many censors couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to impeach Du Shaoqing for making friends with other races and being suspected of treason.

So Du Shaoqing was pushed to the forefront of the storm, and finally had to restrain himself a little. Even if it was a banquet for guests, he changed to the name of his daughter Xiao Xuanxuan, euphemistically saying that these envoys like children, and they are too enthusiastic. There is no way to make a group of angry officials with an excuse.

And in the Du family, Du Shaoqing took the opportunity to make friends with all foreigners who could make friends, and at the same time promised to establish private trading channels with these people. Huihe in the north mainly exports tea, and the countries in the Western Regions mainly export silk. This kind of gem is exclusively sold by Du Shaoqing in Datang.

The trade in the northeast direction is more convenient. Du Shaoqing's third brother, Du He, is the deputy general of the northeast border city. All smuggling transactions can be tax-free through Du He, which makes Shi Wei and other countries very happy.

In this way, in ten days, Du Shaoqing has laid the foundation for the huge foreign trade, and is waiting for the little girl Wu Zhao to train enough manpower. Once the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is in operation, it will become the first gold-absorbing structure in Datang , Du Shaoqing is confident that he will surpass the financial resources of those five surnames and seven Wangs in one fell swoop.

As time passed day by day, Hou Junji also returned with the [-] troops who went out to fight against Tubo. Honglu Temple issued a notice that three days later, outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, the army would return in honor. Envoys from various countries were invited to watch the ceremony.

Chapter 342 Stand Up to Hou Junji

There were two wars against Tubo, counting from Jiannan Road. The first time, Datang 15 faced the enemy with 20 in the local Jiannan Road. In the end, Datang beat the enemy at the cost of more than 5 deaths. The enemy killed more than half of them and took [-] prisoners. Only more than [-] remnants escaped.

And the second time was Hou Junji's [-] elite troops of the Tang Dynasty to implement the gradual encroachment plan. The battle damage was less than [-], and the ruling class of Tubo was completely wiped out, and Tubo was brought into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it is an absolute big win.

After the war, Hou Junji asked Jiannan Road to send troops to guard the territory of Tubo, and returned to Chang'an with nearly [-] victorious troops. After all, he brought these soldiers from Chang'an for the expedition, and he wanted to bring them back to reunite with his family.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Fubing system. During the war, the Fubing was gathered and dispatched by the generals. It was a labor service without salary, and only rewards were converted into military merits on the battlefield.

However, after the army returned to the establishment, the imperial court had to allocate food and grass in a unified manner. In the past year, Datang had spent a lot of money and food to support these [-] elite soldiers, so Li Er had to tell Du Shaoqing the truth. To raise elite soldiers all the year round.

In fact, the soldiers don’t farm the land, they are built in the barracks all the year round, and all the expenses are provided by the court. This method is called the recruitment system. After the Anshi Rebellion, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, because the military system of the government collapsed and the military strength of the Tang Dynasty was weakened, the imperial court was used. The policy of recruiting and raising soldiers with money is also a general trend.

Emperor Li Er also knew that there are many benefits to soldiers who are well-trained all the year round, but the national strength is not enough to support them, so they can only use the military system to save financial expenditure.

Outside the city of Chang'an, the emperor led a hundred military officials to welcome the returning army. Du Shaoqing took his family members as privileged onlookers and stood on the top of the city to watch the ceremony. You must know that ordinary people are waiting on both sides of the open space outside the city. The family is also anxiously waiting.

Smoke and dust gradually rose in the distance, and a neat black torrent approached slowly. The closer it got to Chang'an City, the greater the vibration brought by the army, and even the heavy steps had a triumphant rhythm.

There were heavy war drums on the top of the city, and the Qin King broke the formation music, and the atmosphere of returning home filled the audience for a while.

The little Xuanxuan in Du Shaoqing's arms also yelled, although this girl doesn't know what Ronggui is, but she can't help but like to join in the fun, the more people there are, the more excited she is, and she keeps calling grandpa to the emperor Li Er at the bottom of the city , Du Shaoqing couldn't hold back.

But at this time, Emperor Li Er's eyes were all on the victorious teacher in front of him, and he couldn't care about this little guy.

"Daddy, did uncle bring someone back? Let's go down and find him." Xiao Xuanxuan asked innocently.

The princess next to him smiled and said, "Silly boy, where is your uncle coming back? It's Xiang'er's grandfather who returned victorious from the war. You miss your uncle that much."

Little Xuanxuan was a little disappointed, and said with a slight snort: "It turned out to be Brother Xiang'er's grandfather, hmph, really, I just called my grandfather and ignored me for so long, next time I go to the palace, I will definitely pull out his beard. "

Du Shaoqing laughed loudly: "Your grandfather's beard seems to be a bit short, unlike your goatee-bearded grandfather Li Jing."

"Then pull his hair"

The family was chatting and laughing on the top of the city wall. The army below had come forward majestically. The cavalry, infantry, and archers were all well-dressed and solemn.

Hou Junji got off his horse in heavy armor, but the cavalry behind him did not dismount, which surprised the officials at the gate, why was something wrong, they were disarmed and returned home soon, why did the cavalry still sit on the horse?

This change made the imperial guards escorting on both sides a little nervous, so let's not have any accidents.

"The last general, Hou Junji, was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiannan Road to meet the enemy Tubo, chase the enemy thousands of miles away, destroy the enemy's nest, and remove Tubo to avenge the innocent people of Jiannan Road. Now that he has returned to the court in victory, he is here to express his gratitude to His Majesty. Reply, Your Majesty, please inspect the soldiers of the expedition." Hou Junji almost shouted out on the phone.

The envoys from all over the world looked at the [-] troops waiting in full force, and listened to Hou Junji's words. They couldn't believe that Tubo was wiped out with just a few people?But the kind of evil spirit that overflowed the audience made people have to believe that only Datang had such a well-trained elite army.

Li Er stepped forward to support Hou Junji with his own hands: "Aiqing has worked hard to show our country's prestige in this battle, and all the Tang soldiers have worked hard!"

The last sentence was called by Li Er to all the soldiers, and then the master of ceremonies stepped forward and said loudly: "The drums of honor are playing, and the army is disarmed!"

But in the next scene, the man was dumbfounded, the drums started, but the [-] troops remained motionless, all of them stared at the front seriously, as if they hadn't heard it, everyone became nervous, and looked at the general Hou Junji, I said in my heart that you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you don't know the rules.

Who knew that Hou Junji took a step forward at this time, and once again gave the emperor a military salute: "Your Majesty, before the disarmament, the last general has something to say, and I implore Your Majesty to agree to one thing."

The master of ceremonies waved his hand, and the drum band stopped immediately.

But the whole audience was dead silent, it was almost audible, what is Hou Junji going to do?Taking advantage of the victory to claim credit and intimidate His Majesty?

General Wei Chi Jingde stood up and said in a deep voice, "Bold Hou Junji, what are you going to do?"

Li Er waved his hand to stop everyone who had opinions, smiled lightly, and signaled not to let foreigners see Datang's jokes, saying that we have internal disagreements.

"Hou Aiqing, but please be blunt, is there any grievance in this army campaign?" Li Er can speak.

Hou Junji turned his head and slowly glanced at the army he brought back, everyone was waiting for him to speak.

Then he looked deeply at the foreign envoys who were watching the ceremony next to the emperor. His murderous eyes made a group of envoys feel scared, and many of them wanted to take a step back.

Afterwards, Hou Junji said loudly: "The general heard on the way back that someone came to Datang to force us to marry the princess and get married. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
