Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Kong Gui, as the censor Zhongcheng, has the right to play a special performance. Let alone suppress this memorial in the Zhengshitang, he has never even seen it before. One stone stirs up thousands of waves. Against the background of the princess’s power, Confucius’ memorial has a truly earth-shattering effect. Although Emperor Li Dan kept this memorial, its hot content quickly spread throughout the emperor as if it had grown wings. City, and then spread throughout Chang'an, the officials of all temple supervisors in the imperial city were stunned by the shock, and kept silent like cicadas.

In fact, what Kong Gui said in the memorial is something that many people have thought about, but before that, not many people dared to single out the words in such a large public. Impact.When Kong Gui became angry, relying on his official position and reputation, the topic that was suppressed by Princess Taiping was instantly brought under the sun for others to comment on.

The more comments, the weaker the foundation of Princess Taiping's power. After all, the political tradition for thousands of years does not allow women to meddle in national affairs. When he was ill and lost control of the government, he encountered a palace change, not to mention that the incident of going to Wei first and then rebelling happened just over a year ago.Princess Taiping is also well aware of this, so she tried her best to win over Shilin while controlling the government, and on the other hand, she tried her best to suppress this topic and downplay it, hoping to finally achieve what her mother did.

It should be said that Princess Taiping's operation was still very successful before this, but unfortunately Kong Gui's appearance ruined her many years of operation. The irreparable weaknesses that were tried so hard to cover up before were revealed to the public without any cover.

This memorial to tear the window paper was a sharp and far-reaching blow to Princess Taiping.And the court situation, which seemed to be peaceful on the surface before, has also become turbulent because of this memorial.

Previously, because Li Longji's foundation was too shallow, he could only take the defensive position in the court struggle with Princess Taiping, but with this uncontrolled memorial, His Royal Highness's reputation soared several times for a while, but the same as Princess Taiping is However, Li Longji was also unprepared for Kong Gui's sudden move.

The aftertaste of surprise had not yet dissipated, and the Donggong lineage suddenly felt fear, fearing that if the court situation changed too drastically, it would stimulate Princess Taiping to take risks.

Tang Cheng understood that for Li Longji, he hoped that the current situation in the court would be stable. Although he was in a weak position in the battle, it was because the time for him to rise was too short. He needed time to develop and consolidate his power. And with each passing day, his strength grows.In this case, if Princess Taiping is forced to go too far and break the situation with violence, it will not be of any benefit to Li Longji.

According to the original process of history, Princess Taiping initiated the palace change after Li Dan took the Zen throne and Li Longji ascended the throne, and Li Longji, who had become more and more fledgling, successfully put down the palace change without spending too much thought, and then smoothly took over the entire regime Created the heyday of Kaiyuan by hand.

Things in the world are always closely connected.The appearance of Kong Gui is a variable, which did not exist in the original history, and was fanned by Tang Cheng, a traverser, with his wings. For this double-edged sword-like variable, not only Princess Taiping is afraid, but Li Longji is equally afraid.

Li Longji tried his best to control the variable of Kong Gui in his hands, but when he really did, he suddenly realized that this was an almost impossible task. Kong Gui, a descendant of a saint, is a typical person made of that special material. As long as he thinks what he should do, he will do his best, and his words and deeds obey the "sage's teachings" instead of power. For people with this special material, the usual and easy-to-use methods of coercion and coercion are completely useless It's free.

The mighty cannot be subdued, the rich cannot be promiscuous, and the poor cannot be moved. This is a real man!Kong Gui was like this when he faced Princess Taiping, and it was the same when he was facing Li Longji.

In desperation, Donggong, who was afraid that the court would be detonated, thought of Tang Cheng. After all, Kong Gui's smooth return to Beijing was the result of his middle-level planning, and the old master Kong never concealed his love for the little Longmen magistrate in front of others. Tang Cheng's praise, according to the official rules of the Tang Dynasty, officials of the fifth rank and above have the right to recommend talents to the court, and Mr. Kong Boss's second memorial after he became Yushi Zhongcheng was dedicated to recommending Tang Cheng.

This memorial narrates the various changes in Longmen County before and after Tang Cheng took office, and fully affirms his political talents.

Tang Cheng's transfer from Longmen County to Rao Le Sima was out of holy will, and Kong Gui's memorial was naturally retained, but Li Longji could see Kong Gui's appreciation for Tang Cheng from this memorial, and Zhang Mingzhi even more so. It was because of an idea: Maybe Tang Cheng can help persuade the old man who doesn't eat oil and salt?

In addition, what Zhang Liang said in this letter is to make Tang Cheng mentally prepared. With Kong Gui's memorial as a foundation, Donggong will take the opportunity to make efforts, and maybe he will be able to find an opportunity to fish him out of Rao Le. It might come.

Seeing Zhang Xiangwen sitting on the side looking at him eagerly, Tang Cheng handed the letter to him after reading it, and then Gu Zi fell into deep thought.

Kong Gui's return to the capital was the result of his mediation, which never happened in the original history. If the inherent route of history is followed, it will be a long time before the abolished prince is rehabilitated, so naturally there will be no such expulsions The event of returning to Beijing happened, so even Tang Cheng, as a traveler who knew about historical events, never thought that such a thing would happen.

At the beginning, he tried his best to bring Kong Gui and others back to Chang'an. His selfish idea was to bury himself in the court hall as a force that could be used as Austrian aid. Judging from Kong Gui's recommendation papers, this goal was achieved. Unexpectedly, he was able to stir up such a big storm at the beginning of his return to the court.

The wind slapped by this wing is not small!Tang Cheng gave a rather smug smile, for he was able to bring so much trouble to Princess Taiping and Li Longji, and he vented a lot of resentment in his heart due to his transfer to Rao Le Sima.

Zhang Xiangwen on one side laughed out loud after reading the letter, "Master Kong is Mr. Kong, old and strong. He can recommend the eldest brother, and it is not in vain for our careful service when we were in Longmen County that day." .

"Knowing that it can't be done, a gentleman's official position is based on righteousness. No matter what, this old man is a real gentleman." After finishing this sentence, Tang Cheng sighed again: "It's a pity, a gentleman is in court. I can't always stand firm. Mr. Kong, the censor Zhongcheng, probably won't be able to do it for a few days."

"What's the meaning of what elder brother said?" Zhang Xiangwen shook the letterhead in his hand, "Didn't Mr. Zhang want elder brother to help persuade me?"

"To be able to come up with such an idea, Zhang Mingzhi either knew people or didn't know them, or he was just a fluke to try when he was in a hurry. If he changed his mind after being persuaded by others, would he still be Kong Gui?" Tang Cheng shook his head and said with a chuckle: " Or his request is useless at all, from Chang'an to here, how long does it take to send messengers back and forth? Even if I really wrote a letter of persuasion to the old man, let's not say that persuasion is useless, even if it is useful, wait until Beijing At that time, Mr. Kong had already changed his job."

Zhang Xiangwen really didn't understand why the eldest brother was so sure that Kong Gui would lose his official position as Censor Zhongcheng, so he followed up and asked aloud.

Looking at the essence through the complicated phenomena, after several years of officialdom honing, Tang Cheng's ability to observe political events has long been beyond Wu Xia's Amon, and he naturally has a steady self-confidence in his answer, "It's not easy. Now Chang'an Chaotang There are actually three people who are in charge of the matter, one is His Majesty, and the other two are Princess Taiping and His Highness the Crown Prince. It is not only Princess Taiping and Her Majesty the Crown Prince who feel uncomfortable when the old man makes such a fuss, I am afraid that even His Majesty now regrets not letting him Put it in the seat of Yushi Zhongcheng. Since it made these three feel uncomfortable, do you think Mr. Kong can still sit in the seat of Yushi Zhongcheng? So I can’t write this letter of persuasion, even if I write it, it will be for nothing.” .

Zhang Xiangwen also understood Tang Cheng's thoughts on Kong Gui and others, and he became anxious when he heard this, "That old man Kong...".

"Don't worry, although Yushi Zhongcheng's seat can't be kept, Mr. Kong will not be kicked out of the court." Tang Cheng, who had been sitting for too long, stood up and moved his hands and feet slowly in the leather tent, talking eloquently He analyzed: "He was exiled and returned to Beijing. Although His Majesty is unhappy now, there is no such thing as cutting his official position to the end. Even if His Majesty really has such thoughts, there is no reason for him. After all, there is nothing wrong with his memorial. Yes. Relegating ministers for no reason is difficult to convince the public, and this one doesn't have the courage to do so today."

"Furthermore, although the old man has caused trouble for the crown prince, he has brought a lot of benefits. It would be chilling if the East Palace just watched Kong Gui lose his position and did not save him. What's more, the crown prince still needs Kong Gui to stay in the court. Suppressing Taiping's influence in Shilin, Shilin style commentary usually seems useless, but it is a fatal flaw for Taiping, who is born as a woman but wants to be emperor. The prince will not sit idly by. Taiping can't use too much force on this matter. If she suppresses Kong Gui too much, her good reputation in Shilin business for many years will collapse sooner, and the gain is not worth the loss! Therefore, it is certain that Mr. Kong will not be able to sit firmly in Yushi Zhongcheng , but it will not be expelled from the court again. If my prediction is not bad, it is just a change of position. And in all likelihood, he will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites. The status is respected, but he can only manage some sacrificial etiquette and The matter of the imperial examination can be regarded as its place."

"As long as you don't lose your official position and come out of court." After getting rid of this worry, Zhang Xiangwen immediately thought of another thing mentioned in Zhang Liang's letter, "Then the elder brother returned to Beijing...".

"I'm afraid that Taiping hates Kong Gui to the core now. I am the instigator and the person recommended by Kong Gui. Can she let me go back? Zhang Mingzhi took it for granted." Tang Cheng shook his head with a smile, "Again Even if the Ministry of Officials really wants to recruit me back now, I have no choice but to resign. How can Chang'an be easy to stay in now? Confucius also said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is better for me to be calm in Rao Lelai. Besides, I can't bear to let go of the great situation here."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen nodded, "Brother is right, it's just a pity, that's Chang'an!".

"Chang'an! I will go back one day." Tang Cheng's voice was clear and steady, "Officials are dangerous, and sometimes they retreat in order to advance better. Don't say these are useless, let's put the things in front of us first." Let's talk after Xi Manzi has finished cooking."

After the official business was finished, Tang Cheng ordered people to invite Qizhi, and at the same time ordered people to set up a banquet with wine. Since entering Rao Le, he has been exhausted for days, but today is a chance to relax.

As soon as the order was finished here, the cavalry of the Tiancheng Army on duty outside the tent came in to report that the envoys of Tuduo and Pingcuo were urgently asking for an audience outside the tent.

This happened just as he was about to relax. Tang Cheng's mood improved, and Dang even said with a sullen face, "No, let them pay their bills so they can stay for a while."

After a while, Qizhi, who was groomed and dressed up more beautifully after washing up, walked in with An Lushan in a dance costume.

"Who are those two Xi Hus outside the tent? It's really pitiful to look at the leather tent eagerly. If the husband has business, he should take care of it first. It doesn't matter if I wait any longer. It's not good to abolish public affairs for personal reasons."

There was no one else idle in the tent, Tang Cheng smiled and took Qizhi's hand, "You are sensible, but I deliberately left those two people outside, I will see you after all, but it's not too late yet. Come on, don't talk about these disappointing things, it's a rare gathering, today will be a happy gathering, singing and dancing, neither drunk nor parted."

The strings and bamboos are curling up, the cups are intertwined, and An Lushan in a bright dance costume dances on a square felt carpet with vigorous drum music. As expected, there is no mistake in the history books. This guy does have a talent for dancing Hu Xuan dance, but After just a few months of Qizhi's training, his dancing posture is a little more comfortable and charming than the last time he saw it. Given time, the ten-year expectation that Qizhi made for him that day may not be able to be realized.

After dancing a Hu Xuanjian dance, Tang Cheng clapped his palms and praised Xiao An Lushan without hesitation, so much so that Zhang Xiangwen felt a little apprehensive after hearing it, half-truth and half-false Jokingly said that the two have been married for several years, but I have never heard my elder brother praise me so much.

Seeing this, An Lushan's eyes became brighter with sweat on his forehead, and while he was more grateful to Tang Cheng in his heart, he also became more determined in his ideal of becoming a "Dancing God of the Tang Dynasty" ten years later. Mr. Tang who favored him since meeting him?

The people are beautiful, the wine is beautiful, and the dance is also beautiful. When the atmosphere of this small feast reached its climax, Tu Yesi came in from the outside and whispered to Tang Cheng: "My lord, Domoqi from the Domo Department is here. See you outside the account!".

Chapter 284 I'm Not Here

Unlike the envoys from Tuduo and Pingcuo, after hearing that it was Domoqi from the Duomo tribe, Tang Cheng got up without much delay and asked to take him to another tent to meet him.

Tu Yesi followed Tang Cheng, saw him slightly drunk, and reminded: "Or let Domoqi wait a little longer, and see him soon after he sobers up."

"A little bouillon is nothing." Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hands. Domochi is too important, and he is still looking forward to meeting this person. "Let someone prepare a warm hand towel and send it over." ".

After entering a nearby tent and sitting down, Tang Cheng just finished wiping his face with a hot towel when Tu Yesi walked in with Domoqi himself.

The first time Tang Cheng heard Domochi's name was in the tent of the deposed king Li Chengzhong. At that time, Tang Cheng asked him to recommend a candidate who could replace Domogao in the Domo tribe. Li Chengzhong listened to the candidate who was "easy to control" After asking, he reported the name almost without thinking.Since then, several times he sent people to contact each other privately, secretly sending back letters. Tang Cheng was no longer unfamiliar with this person, but this was the first time he had met him in person.

This is a 36-year-old man in his prime. Judging from his appearance alone, he is six points similar to Domogao, but in terms of temperament, the two are far from each other. Domogao feels like a wolf The same, but the Domoqi in the wide-sleeved Tang suit in front of him has an extremely rare manner among Xi people, especially the gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes.

"An odd number", Tang Cheng murmured in his heart, "it should be a figure from Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty, why was he born in the Xi clan in the far north?"

After Domochi walked into the tent, he waited for a while but didn't see the master speaking. It was a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, Tu Yesi came in with him, and coughed lightly beside him when he saw this.

Hearing Tu Yesi's reminder, Tang Cheng smiled self-consciously, "Damn it, it seems that even low-alcohol fruit wine can't be overdone." Since entering Rao Le, I have seen a lot of majestic men, but this is the first time I have met a gentle gentleman like Brother Duomo. With a bit of alcohol, I suddenly met Chang'an Wenhui and Jiangnan scholars for the first time. Don't blame Mr. Duomo for being rude for a while!".

Hearing this, Domoqi showed a happy smile on his face, bowed his hands and gave a salute, and said: "Severe words! Master Sima is a Jinshi, and famous poems and masterpieces have been spread all over the world for a long time. Qi also once I found a few of them among the booksellers of the Tang Dynasty that I was familiar with, and when I chanted them every day, I really admired you for a long time, and today I finally got to see your face, very lucky, very lucky!" After the greetings of the first meeting, he unexpectedly still I really recited a poem: March spring returns to the windy and rainy days, and the green peach blossoms feel the fleeting year.There are still [-] petals of remnant red, which is not as fresh as the first opened one.

Not to mention Domochi's way of saluting, and his Chang'an official dialect, which is more standard than Tang Cheng's when reciting poems. As far as the poem he recites is concerned, Tang Cheng just walked out of the mountain village and entered Yunxi County that day. The works "borrowed" by Liu Suifeng and Liu Suifeng when they were studying the Classics of Ming Dynasty, not to mention that it was a long time ago, the scope of the poem itself is not wide, and Duomoqi can recite it casually Even if he had worked hard before he came, it would have been too much effort.

Judging from the fact that Domochi can put so much effort into him, this person is not a simple person.Would such a character be easy to control?In an instant, Tang Cheng's spirit, which was a little relaxed due to alcohol, suddenly tensed up. It seemed that he was too careless to be deceived by that old man Li Chengzhong. After thinking about it, Tang Cheng secretly hated him, and made up his mind to just wait for this meeting to end. Then I found a fault and repaired Li Chengzhong.

"It's easy to say", as his thoughts changed, Tang Cheng's expression also quietly changed, he raised his hand to invite Domoqi to sit down, and then said straightly: "The military weapons I ordered the caravan to send two days ago Have you received the salt and other things?"

Domochi didn't know why Tang Cheng suddenly became indifferent, and while speculating in his heart, he replied in standard Chang'an official language: "Got it. They also took advantage of the opportunity to sell the livestock kept in the [-]% circle, saving a large amount of pasture. This is a major event that concerns every tent of the clan, and I, the whole clan, feel the kindness of Master Sima.”

After Domochi answered solemnly, he got up and saluted Tang Cheng again.

Domochi's performance was beyond Tang Cheng's expectation, this guy is not mocking me!Could it be that he really didn't know that he imposed the trade ban on Domo?

Staring at Domochi closely, he saw that his face was sincere and did not seem to be pretending at all. Tang Cheng's vigilance became more and more profound. This guy is so good at acting and can be so tolerant. It seems that he is not only a character, but also an extreme person. Great character!

Li Chengzhong, you old man, you have had enough of a good life!

"This is something I promised you, so I won't break my promise and get fat." The more vigilant Tang Cheng became in his heart, the more calm and calm Tang Cheng's face became. Should I hear back?"

"Patriarch Duomo hasn't been a member of the board of directors recently, and he only stays with wine and beauties all day long. The heroic spirit of the past has faded away." Tang Cheng frowned suddenly when he heard Duomoqi's address of "Patriarch Duomo", and looked at him. It's time to see him again, but what does this guy mean by calling Duo Mogao like that?However, despite the rapid rise of anger in his heart, he still calmly suppressed his face and listened patiently to Domochi's words.

"As for the agreement with Lord Sima that day..." Speaking of this, Domochi hesitated, "After all, he is the head of the clan, and I have a brotherhood with him. Whether to kill a brother with a younger brother is against the norms of human relations, I... ".

"I didn't see it, you are such a gentleman with sincerity and sincerity." At this point, Tang Cheng couldn't hold back the anger in his chest any longer, and shouted, "Domoqi, do you want to break the contract?".

Since becoming the magistrate of Longmen County, Tang Chengcheng, who has become a chief official, rarely gets angry, but the more so, the more frightening his aura when he bursts out. Even so, he still straightened his waist and said in protest: "A certain person has studied Tang religion since he was young because he admired Tang style, recited "The Analects" at the age of nine, and studied "Book of Rites" at the age of thirteen. I reflect on myself three times a day, and use the teachings of saints to guard against myself. Master Sima went to the country as a scholar, and a disciple of a saint. How could he have such a status that he forced others to kill his superiors, and his brother to kill his brother? If this is the case, where is the loyalty? Where is the brotherhood? ".

Even when Tang Cheng was furious, he was also taken aback by what Domochi said. Damn, is there any reason? The words out of a Xihu's mouth are even more Tangren than Tangren.

Of course, he knew from the history books of later generations that the Tang Dynasty had deeply infiltrated the culture of the surrounding ethnic groups, and the upper-class nobles of the surrounding ethnic groups and tribes also took pride in speaking Chinese and wearing Tang clothes, that is, accepting the culture of the Tang Dynasty. This is the main manifestation of the "prosperity" of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.But it's one thing to know it, and another thing to see the teaching of a sage in front of me in front of me. Damn, I once saw the Tang Dynasty "Muhu girl" who was obsessed with Hu Feng in Jinzhou, Shannan , the Domoqi in front of him is actually a fanatical Mu Tangnan!

But no matter how fanatical Mu Tangnan Domoqi is, Tang Cheng was only taken aback for a moment, but failed to dispel the anger in his heart. According to Li Chengzhong's recommendation, he supported Domoqi to kill Domogao in order to control the Duomo tribe. This was a long-established strategy, and it was also the most important fulcrum for Tang Cheng to further intervene in Rao Le Grassland affairs.For this reason, he has invested a lot during this period of time. For example, the military weapons, salt and other things given to the Domochi people just mentioned are obvious examples.

It's good now, Domochi has eaten all the benefits, and he is soft when he kills.In front of him, Tang Cheng has become a fool who steals chickens and loses money. For Tang Cheng, who has always been unwilling to suffer, this is really unbearable for his aunt and unbearable for his uncle!

Since his first day as a civil servant in the Tang Dynasty, I have never done a loss-making business.With a sneer, Tang Cheng shouted incessantly, "Come on! Bind this rebellious thief to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, two Tiancheng sergeants on duty walked in from outside the tent, and tied up Domoqi tightly. Not only did he not beg for mercy, but he was still yelling at the top of his voice, saying something from the scriptures, "Being born is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness are also."

"Back when you exchanged letters back then, you spoke with certainty, but now you want to turn your back on you as soon as you wipe your mouth after you have eaten the benefits. If you are a perfidious person like you who keeps saying what you want, Master Meng let you ruin everything." Tang Cheng As soon as these disdainful words came out, Domoqi, who was still stunned just now, blushed like blood, "It was my second brother who promised you behind my back that day, so why did he ever break his promise?".

"Could it be that your seal on the letter is also a fake?" At this point, Tang Cheng also knew that the previous thoughts about Domoqi were all wrong. What kind of deep-minded and forbearing man is this guy? He is simply a reader of Confucius and Mencius Read the silly mad life.After a sentence was blocked back, he didn't bother to argue with this stubborn bastard again, "Go, drag him out...".

Seeing Tang Cheng's hand suddenly raised high, and his face full of murderous looks, Tu Yesi's heart skipped a beat as he stood on the side. He had personally experienced the scene of Tang Cheng's chaos in Longmen County that day, and knew this Although Mr. Tang looked at Wen Wen, he was not ambiguous in killing people. Right now, Duo Moqi probably won't be able to save his life.

While Tu Yesi was waiting for Master Sima's order to kill, he saw Tang Chenggao's raised hand suddenly stopped in the air, and the words in his mouth stopped halfway, and he heard it again after a long time. To "drag him out and wake him up".

As soon as the two guards dragged Domo Qi out smoothly, Tang Cheng also stepped out, "Come on, I will meet the old man Li Chengzhong with me."

Following Tang Cheng out of the tent, Tu Yesi groaned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Rao Lexi is an ignorant person who stops nine times out of ten, and it is really a strange number to be able to produce such a character as Duo Moqi." , Your Excellency is forbearing and tolerant towards him, this measure is really admirable."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng said to himself without turning his head: "The Duomo tribe is in a state of panic at this time, and the lifeline is in my hands. What's the difference between killing a Domochi and crushing an ant? I didn’t think that he might still be useful, so I chopped him up myself just now. But in the final analysis, Li Chengzhong, an old man, is abominable. It would take me a long time to recommend such a useless lunatic to come up.”

"Domochi didn't come alone. In addition to the guards, there were three well-dressed people with him."

Raole Grassland does not produce silk and can only import it from the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. Its high price is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary Xi people. The three who can afford brocade must be the nobles of the Domo Department.

"Oh! Why didn't the news come out sooner?" Tang Cheng stopped walking and started walking back, "find someone to bring them to see me, and let the old man Li Chengzhong live in peace for a while."

When he returned to the tent, Tu Yesi looked at Domoqi, who was tightly tied up outside the tent, and even gagged, hesitantly said: "My lord, should we move him to another place first, because those three people have come to embarrass us?" It doesn't look good."

"No", after saying this, Tang Cheng went into the tent.

Looking at Domochi who looked like a bundle of zongzi, Tu Yesi let out a soft sigh and walked in.

It didn't take long before I heard the screeching sound of lamb's leather boots coming from outside the tent, and then I heard a young excited voice, but Tang Cheng couldn't understand the specific content because he was speaking in ridicule. .Fortunately, Tu Yesi could be the translator standing next to him, "This man is Domochi's younger brother."

"Well", when Tang Cheng nodded, the tent had already been lifted, and a young Xi Renfeng rolled in like a wind, and before he could stand still, he threw out a string of ridicule with his face full of anger.

Since this man is Domochi's younger brother, even if he couldn't understand what he said, he knew what he was talking about. Tang Cheng smiled coldly, looked at the picture and then simply closed his eyes slightly.

Tu Yesi is a leader among the younger generation of Xi people in Longmen. At that time, Tu Yezhuo was put in charge of a part of the world in Longmen County when he was not as weak as the crown. It is natural and easy to deal with such a situation. Since Tang Cheng intended to let him answer, he Then he also took a step forward and said in a cold voice in Tang language: "I am a descendant of the wolf god, and I should say that one is one. There is no room for treacherous people on the grassland. Domoqi promised good things back then, but now he accepts After receiving the benefits of Lord Sima, but immediately regretting it, to such a person, it is not just a bondage, even if he kills the wolf god, he is just happy."

The young Xi Ren couldn't say anything anymore, and after a while, his face flushed, he forced himself to bend down and said in a jerky Tang dialect: "That day I saw that the people in the clan were wasting grass but couldn't sell it. You can't get salt and ironware in exchange for animal skins, so you exchanged letters with your elders behind your back. This matter has nothing to do with your elder brothers. If your elders want to behead you, come at me."

As soon as he said this, Tang Cheng's face became even colder. Just as Tu Yesi was about to speak, he heard a jerky Tang dialect: "Duo Moshou, don't be rude to Master Sima."

The Xi man stopped Duomoqi, and said to Tang Cheng with a prairie etiquette: "The young man is rude and reckless, Mr. Sima, don't bother with him. I have heard about the agreement between the lord and Domoqi before." , I ran this trip today just to hear the adults talk about it in person."

"You are……".

"Duomodong, the Duomo tribe is composed of four clans. Among the Duomo people beside me, and Duomoqi outside the tent are the patriarchs of the three clans."

Tang Cheng, who was sitting upright, opened his eyes, and saw that Xi Ren in front of him and Duo Mozhong beside him were vaguely the two whom he had met on the terrace of the Governor's Mansion in Raole that day, "Speaking of which, we are also old acquaintances, both sit down".

After the two of them sat down, Tang Cheng didn't look at Duo Moshou who was still blushing standing in the middle of the tent, and said directly: "Since Domoshou has told you all, I won't make any fuss here. Those are those, first, Domogao must die, and Domochi will take over as the chief patriarch of the Domo tribe."

Hearing Tang Cheng's words, not only Duomodong and the others were taken aback, but even Tu Yesi looked at Tang Cheng in surprise. Why is Duomoqi the chief patriarch?

Tang Cheng turned a blind eye to this and continued with his own words, "Second, before the end of the chaos in the Raole Grassland, the mobilization of personnel and cavalry from the Duomo Department must follow the military order of the Raole Sima Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. Third, from now on , the cavalry of the Duomo tribe followed the precedent of the Suobu Ministry, and every 300 people had one military law official, and the dispatch and subordinate management of the personnel were in charge of the Sima Mansion.

Duo Modong, Duo Mozhong, and Duo Moshou knew these three conditions early on, and the emotions they should have had already been digested. They didn't have much reaction before, but when they heard Tang Cheng say the last one, they all jumped up. Surprised, "Your Excellency, you mean...the Sima Mansion also dispatched military officials to the Suo Department?".

Tang Cheng looked at Duo Mozhong who spoke for the first time after entering the account, nodded and said, "How can such a big event be faked? If you two don't believe it, you can send someone to verify it."

Hearing this, when Duo Mozhong and Duo Modong looked at each other, their complexions darkened a bit, "If we accept this condition, I don't know what my lord can give Duo Mobu."

"I can promise you the same three things. First of all, the merchant trade embargo faced by the Duomo tribe will be fully lifted. The military weapons, salt and other items that are in short supply in your tribe can be replenished in the shortest possible time. Animal leather goods can also be purchased at All were sold within the same time limit. Secondly, in the subsequent merchant trade, the livestock skins sold by the Duomo Department were increased by [-]% according to the market price, and the weapons, salt and other items purchased were reduced by [-]% according to the market price. It's exactly [-]%, so I don't need someone to help you settle accounts for how much wealth is involved. The last and most important thing is that I can keep everyone safe and sound, and let the war on the grassland continue to rage. Domo's pastures will not suffer from the ravages of swords and soldiers. So, do you agree or not?"

After Tang Cheng finished speaking in one breath, the tent fell into silence between Duo Modong and Duo Mozhong's eye contact.Seeing the two of them like this, Tang Cheng didn't urge him, and took a small sip from the teacup at hand.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. This is a typical case of Duo Mobu, who was changing the situation in Rao Le before.If one's own strength is not good enough, wanting to take advantage of the competition between the snipe and the clam is a huge adventure of ice and fire. Success is fire, and failure is ice. Opposite to the huge benefits that may be obtained, there are equally huge risks. Unfortunately, this operation led by Domogao has obviously failed, and the result of the failure is that the entire Domo tribe has been dragged into a difficult situation where people are knifed and I are fish.

Outside Rao Le Governor's Mansion, the Duomo Tribe was attacked by the Allied Forces of Suo Suo and Shali, and lost troops. The tribal cavalry who barely escaped was less than one-third of what it was in its heyday. Under the current situation, it is not even enough to protect itself.After the long-term trade embargo, the tribe not only lacks combat weapons, but the people even lack salt and pottery for the winter, and the livestock cannot be sold but consume the meager winter pasture every day, which can be described as complaints. At this moment, the military strength of Duomo's army has been reduced sharply, and the people's hearts are unstable. They are really weak to the extreme.

While Duo Modong and Duo Mozhong were hesitating to think, the voice of the sergeant outside broke the peace in the tent.

Tang Cheng looked at the sweaty sergeant walking in and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?".

"Enemy attack", what the sergeant said was explosive news, "Urgent report from the front, a cavalry of about 2000 people is rushing towards our camp, and will arrive after three incense sticks at the latest."

Chapter 285 It's a Twist

The sudden news shocked everyone.

Tang Cheng was startled suddenly, "Who is it?".

"Xi people cavalry, but because they don't hold the flag, so I don't know where they come from?".

Tang Cheng followed closely and asked again, "Which direction are you coming from?".

"Just ahead, when the news came back, the scouts led by Chen Xiaowei had already lost two people. Chen Xiaowei asked your lord to make a quick decision."

Tang Cheng camped on the Duomobu grassland, and the other four of Rao Le's five tribes were fighting desperately on both sides of the grassland. Even if they wanted to come, they would come from the two wings instead of going around in circles to the front and rushing over. In this way, the cavalry in front of us can only be from the Duomo tribe, and the patriarchs of three of the four tribes in the Duomo tribe are all inside and outside the tent. , Duo Mozhong next to him has already said the name of "Duo Mogao" first.

Looking at Duo Mozhong in the tent, Duo Modong and Duo Moshou all changed their colors. Tang Cheng really hated and relieved. Before that, he had already dealt with Duo Moqi as soon as possible. Now that Domoqi had communicated with them Greetings, they should also know that they hate these people's hesitation, which eventually led to today's change.

No wonder they were unable to compete with Duo Mogao for the position of chief patriarch of the tribe before, not to mention being indecisive when things go wrong, and they didn't even have the most basic insight. They just drank more wine every day and played with a few more women. Duo Mogao, who believed in wolves, was actually depressed, ridiculous!
