The man pulled them up, hugged their shoulders respectively, and said softly: "Give me a little more time."
After saying that, he took the things they handed over, turned around and left under the protection of the other two.
The two men also carried the woman on their backs, picked up the baggage, turned around, and fell into the darkness.
Later, the Khitans moved further away from the passes of the Great Wall.
Of course, when you press the gourd, it will lift up the gourd.
Di Ying received the news: Something happened at the Anxi Protectorate.
Where is the Anxi Protectorate?
Di Ying is now at the eastern end of Guochao and the tail of Hebei Road; the Anxi Protectorate is at the western end of Guochao.
Thousands of miles apart...
Originally, there was really nothing wrong with Di Ying.
The news said: The four towns of Anxi in the Anxi Protectorate were urged by officials of the imperial court to guard them.
They just treat the common people as free frontier troops.
The people complained and resentment boiled over.
Di Ying couldn't hold it back, so he gave the old emperor a memorial to advise him not to do that. Soldiers are soldiers, and the people are people. The people want to farm, and they have not received corresponding training. How can it be said that men and women are sent to guard the land?
At the same time, Di Ying also suggested to His Majesty: abolish the Andong Protectorate and reestablish the Gao family as the monarch of Goguryeo. That is to say, the Goryeo area should be classified as a tributary state and allowed to stand on its own feet while being supervised. In this way, we can stop sending grain and grass from Jiangnan to Goryeo every year to feed them. It’s too time-consuming, laborious and costly.
The old emperor who received the memorial looked at it: Oh, you, Di Ying, have quite a lot to worry about? It seems that after the Khitan peace, you are really free.
Not only did he not listen to Di Ying's advice, but he also failed to adopt Di Ying's suggestions.
Instead, he sent Di Ying to Longshi Road to serve as the governor of Anxi.
In other words, the number one military and political figure in the Anxi Protectorate.
That is to say, from Tashkent, the westernmost border of the country, to the Yangguan Pass in Shazhou, that large area of wind and sand was all under the jurisdiction of Di Ying.
Nearly a quarter of the country's territory.
It seems that his power has become stronger, and he is in charge of several governor's offices.
but! ! !
Its territory is large because it has the largest desert: Taklimakan.
Therefore, Gobi, yellow sand, desolation, drought, large temperature difference between day and night, large time difference... etc. are the characteristics of the Anxi Protectorate.
Also: from anywhere, that is, from one inhabited place to another inhabited place, it is easy to break a horse's legs.
No, it's not just that, it can break a camel's leg.
Di Ying set off again speechlessly. But as the left prime minister of Wenchang and the commander of Longyou Road, he had to go back to the capital city to report his duties to His Majesty.
Originally, it was a much shorter journey from Youzhou to Longyou Road. But to go back and report on my work, I have to take a lot of detours.
Di Ying had no choice but to hurry up and rush back.
And what about the old emperor?
Xin Na received a face.
Wu Chengsi tried his best to examine one after another in person, and finally selected the one that His Majesty liked the most and sent it to the palace.
Once upon a time, Wu Chengsi did not go to "Ke Xin Ya Xing" in order to have a personal examination, which led to the death of his son Wu Yanyi.
If it were an ordinary person, I would be heartbroken every time I think about it.
But Wu Chengsi was different. No one can stop his enthusiasm to choose a candidate for His Majesty. Because they are gold bricks and golden steps that can carry him upward step by step.
Zhang Wulang and Zhang Liulang were already extremely favored in the court, and because they were sent by Princess Taiping, His Majesty always treated her as a favor.
Wu Chengsi couldn't even sleep because he thought about this. son? Just give birth.
Whether a good appearance can please His Majesty is more important.
Sure enough, His Majesty likes it. After being so fond of him for a night, he rewarded Xin Mianshou and Tao Junfei with a lot of titles and a lot of treasures.
These treasures were not only in the old emperor's own private treasury, but also in the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Tao Junfei didn't smile when he heard the series of rewards. Instead, he stood there and frowned. Compared with the Zhang brothers, their facial features are more handsome, which brings with them a hint of sadness.
The old emperor felt very distressed.
"Xiao Fei, what's wrong with you? The gift list is three inches thick, and you can't put on a smiling face."
Tao Junfei flicked his long sleeves, then pinched the hem of the sleeves, half holding the pipa and half covering his face, peeping out a small piece of his cheek and one eye, looking at His Majesty sadly.
He started singing softly.
He is an actor and an excellent singer. The reason why I was able to please His Majesty in one fell swoop was because of my singing skills.
Your Majesty also likes to listen to operas in his spare time, and once organized a theatrical troupe in Qingyi, which sang about His Majesty's great achievements.
Originally, it was treasonous to pretend to be an old emperor, but the man in Tsing Yi played the role very well and sang very well, and he was all singing about how good his majesty was. The old emperor, who valued the people's support, naturally hoped that such a story would be spread as widely as possible and as far away as possible.
Until she heard it with her own ears and saw it with her own eyes. Not to mention falling in love with myself after listening to it, even the man singing in Tsing Yi also fell in love with her.
That night, he summoned him into his bedroom.
Unexpectedly, that boy was so lucky that he died soon after.
The old emperor was very sad about this.
Wu Chengsi sent one who was better than that boy. Whether it's singing skills or any kind of kung fu, he is better than that kid and can handle more hardships.
The old emperor naturally regarded Tao Junfei as his treasure, and especially liked to listen to him sing operas.
Listening, listening, and even helping to beat the music. After listening, I understood.
It turned out that Tao Junfei did not want these items or other rewards, but wanted to live in the harem so that he could have the opportunity to accompany and serve His Majesty frequently. At the same time, I also deeply expressed my loyalty to His Majesty.
This made the old emperor even more curious about Tao Junfei.
In fact, the old emperor was not overbearing in these face-to-face matters. For example: they will be given official positions, they will be allowed to go to the Yamen, they will be asked to find another woman, and even start a family, etc.
So whether it's Xue Huayi, the Zhang brothers, or anyone else, they all have other residences outside the palace.
Just be there as you go.
This Tao Junfei was the first one who was willing to be included in the harem and was only willing to protect the face of the old emperor.
The old emperor nodded with satisfaction and immediately agreed.
Just like that, the door of a palace finally opened in the empty harem. Tao Junfei moved in.
Of course, all the high-quality objects flowed from His Majesty's private treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs' treasury to the palace like running water.
Tao Junfei touched and looked at everything, then covered his lips and chuckled.
