Fang Youde and his party entered the palace of the leader of the Bohai Kingdom under the protection of his own soldiers. Zhang Xun and others saw the smile and contempt on the face of the commander, and they were not sure why for a while.
"This time we won't fight without any blood, and things will be much easier to handle later on."
Fang Youde couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out you know how to be afraid!
Zhang Xun and others couldn't help but curse. They thought that Fang Jie was not afraid of heaven and earth, and that a saint would go to Chang'an to seek justice.
"The furnishings here are exactly the same as those of the Daming Palace, but the specifications are half smaller. The leader of the Bohai Kingdom is really a man with low self-esteem and ridiculous skills."
Fang Youde mocked disdainfully and commented on each palace and its furnishings.
I don’t know what the leader of the Bohai Kingdom was thinking, but he made the palace’s regulations the same as those of Chang’an Daming Palace, but it was only half the size, so many places looked a bit nondescript.
Because the palace regulations can be halved, but the height of a person cannot be halved!
On both sides of the road were Imperial Guard soldiers, palace maids, and eunuchs kneeling on the ground. Their clothes were similar to those in the Tang Dynasty palace. They didn't resist at all. It seemed that everyone knew why the Tang Army's divine soldiers came from the sky to Xianzhou City.
Da Wuyi jumped too high before, and actually joined forces with Japan and Khitan to attack Datang! This kind of thing has frightened everyone in the Bohai Kingdom. Now that they see the Tang army coming on horseback, they know that their "boots have landed".
The Tang army only killed the evildoers with great martial arts skills and would not do anything to them.
Now the nobles of the Bohai Kingdom are waiting for the Tang Dynasty to vent their anger and continue to follow the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of the new king.
And those slaves who don't even get wages can think of how they will resist with their toes!
Fang Youde and his party came to the king's palace, and sure enough the furnishings here were exactly the same as those in the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace. Except that it is half the size, its specifications are extremely "same" as Changan's original version.
Everyone couldn't help but smile, even Yan Gaoqing almost laughed out loud.
"Bohai Kingdom Lord's lineage is really a group of wonderful people."
Fang Youde stepped forward, looked at the young man who was guarding the door of the palace, wearing a robe that was exactly the same as the prince of Tang Dynasty, and asked with a joking face: "We are going to see the king, do you want to untie the sword?" Woolen cloth?"
"Your Majesty Qinmao, the son of the ruler of the country, pays homage to the angel. Please come in with me."
The young man said very humbly.
The monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom were slapped in the face by Fang Youde until their faces were red and swollen, but Da Qinmao was not unhappy. After all, Dad Dawuyi caused too much trouble. It would be best to push him out and everyone can land safely.
"Your uncle Da Yi is about to become the head of the Bohai Kingdom and accept the title of canonization from the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any objection?"
Fang Youde asked abruptly.
"Back to Angel, I have no objection."
Da Qinmao bowed respectfully with his hands folded, without any dissatisfaction on his face.
"Well, that's good. The Tang Dynasty needs young people like you."
Fang Youde patted him on the shoulder and said: "Follow me back to the Tang Dynasty and learn the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you will also have the opportunity to be the leader of the country, so don't indulge yourself."
After saying that, he walked into the palace without looking back, leaving only Da Qinmao standing there stunned.
"Commander Jie, all the lords of the Bohai Kingdom have big surnames. What a strange surname." Tenth General Bai Zhenduoluo murmured in a low voice.
"The so-called name usually makes up for whatever it lacks. Just because Bohai is a small country, the surname of the country's leader is big enough to make up for it."
Fang Youde said eloquently.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then remembered Fang Youde's name, and suddenly felt that there were so many flaws that they didn't know where to start.
What is missing should be supplemented. Can a person who is immoral be called "virtuous"?
The atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment, and no one dared to provoke Fang Youde, who was in high spirits.
Fortunately, they had already entered the bedroom and saw Da Wuyi lying on the bed. His face was sallow and thin, his forehead was sweating and his lips were trembling. It looked like he was just a hair away from dying.
"Great martial arts, do you know your guilt?"
Fang Youde looked at the dying old man on the bed and asked coldly.
That tone was like a judge in the underworld.
"I...are guilty."
Da Wuyi struggled to get up from the bed, but he didn't want to slide directly from the bed to the ground, and then became motionless.
The expressions of Fang Youde and his group changed slightly. Yan Gaoqing stepped forward and touched Da Wuyi's breath. Then he stood up and faced Fang Youde, shook his head and said, "He was scared to death."
The majestic leader of the Bohai Kingdom, after all, controlled tens of thousands of people and ran amok.
Now I am so scared to death!
"Tell Da Qinmao to prepare 20,000 bolts of silk for the Tang army officers and soldiers, and then we will be ready to set off in two days. The master craftsman should be here soon."
Fang Youde said calmly, without mentioning how to dispose of Da Wuyi's body.
I believe Da Qinmao will solve these "small problems". After all, it is a good thing for the great martial artist to "die" of illness, both for Fang Youde and others, and for the monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom.
This means that the conflict with the Tang Dynasty a few years ago has truly come to an end. The monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom can calm down and develop the economy without worrying about being beaten by the Tang Dynasty.
After a while, Da Qinmao also walked into the bedroom and saw that Da Wuyi had "died" from illness. He did not show a surprised expression on his face, but just bowed to Fang Youde. Immediately, he fully agreed to Tang Jun's request for money and silk and retreated.
As for Da Wuyi's body, it will be taken away by the Tang army and will be properly buried in Chang'an after "trial".
Zhang Xun and others never expected that the fierce battle that they thought was inevitable would be resolved peacefully. Fang Jieshuai, who I thought would only be strong-willed, turns out to be so skilled at political manipulation!
The majesty of the Tang Dynasty was affirmed by attacking the enemy without losing any blood. To do this, it required great wisdom and courage, and it could not be accomplished by ordinary people. With so many people in Bohai Kingdom, if they fight in a single battle formation, can they kill them all?
After the killing, the situation in Northeast China will definitely be corrupted, and the unlucky one is not Youzhou Jiedu Mansion!
Fang Youde's move can be said to have solved a big trouble at the lowest cost.
"Secretary, please go and enforce military discipline. Since the Lord of Bohai has given us a confession, please stop looting in the city."
Fang Youde said calmly to Yan Gaoqing beside him.
"My subordinates will do it now."
Yan Gaoqing folded his hands and bowed before retreating, feeling sincerely convinced by the commander-in-chief. He has changed his previous impression of the "unruly" coach.
Fang Youde is a person who values "learning from others" and has his own set of principles for everything, although this principle may be contrary to the government's decree.
Yan Gaoqing's political literacy is much higher than that of Zhang Xun and others. He knows that many things are obvious.
Fang Youde allowed the replacement of the leader of the Bohai Kingdom to be rotated in such a violent but non-bloody way, and in accordance with Tang Ting's wishes, which clearly showed who was the real big brother in the Northeast.
The divine soldiers descended from the sky and made no mistakes. After achieving their goals, they drifted away without any hesitation.
What is deterrence? This is deterrence!
Yan Gaoqing could imagine that for the rest of their lives, people in the Bohai Kingdom would remember the fate of the former king Wu Yi who once opposed the Tang Dynasty.
And use it as a lesson for others.
"Jie Shuai, let's just leave like this, don't we let the sons and daughters grab a wave here?" Baizhendra couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"It is the commander's responsibility not to reward you for your merits; it is your crime to act rashly without orders. I will take credit for you when it comes to awarding rewards. We are not thieves!"
Fang Youde glared at Baizhendra, who was so frightened that he backed away and bowed his hands in apology.
People's minds change. If things go well, things will happen. If things go against them, things will go wrong. Fang Youde accurately controlled it.
Two days later, Damen Yi rushed to Xianzhou City with his cronies and ascended to the throne surrounded by a group of Tang troops. The Bohai Kingdom donated 20,000 pieces of fine silk as a reward for the Tang army's "escort" of the king's enthronement.
Two thousand Tang Army cavalry, escorted all the way by the Bohai Forbidden Army, returned to Yingzhou safely. Also accompanying him is Da Qinmao, who will take the body of his father Da Wuyi to Chang'an to meet Li Longji and serve as a guard in the palace while studying the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.
When Dawuyi was the leader of the country, Damenyi studied in Datang.
And Da DaYi now became the new leader of the country, and Da Qinmao studied in Datang again.
The mystery and inheritance of this may be known to those who are interested at a glance, but no one can tell it.
All parties who received the news about the changes that occurred in Bohai Country were thinking of countermeasures. Then all kinds of documents flew to Chang'an like snowflakes, so Li Longji, who was enjoying the hot springs and beauties, had to end his vacation in Huaqing Palace early.
…
"Snapped!"
Wu Duo threw the stone out of his hand and hit the tree trunk not far away, just a few seconds away from the branch Fang Chongyong wanted to hit.
Stone throwing is a skill that is easy to get started with, and you can master the basic skills in just one day of practice. But it's not that easy to hit a target, especially one that moves fast and is small. At least it's much harder than a slingshot.
There is only one reason why Fang Zhongyong practices Wuduo: this thing is very powerful, easy to carry and inconspicuous, and can save lives at critical moments!
The mainstream slingshots in the Tang Dynasty looked similar to bows and arrows, and were about the same size, lacking a bit of concealment.
As for the "Y" shaped slingshot, it has already appeared in this era, and it is even easy to carry, but its power is too small, and it is almost just a toy.
Wang Zhongsi has entered the palace to participate in military affairs. He is now the general of the left army of the Longwu Army. He has a high-level official position. Obviously he cannot stay at home all day. He has to go to the palace every day to "dianmao" to participate in the arrangements for the Longwu Army. Daily training and rotation.
Now it is Cui Qianyou who accompanies Fang Chongyong for activities every day.
"Lang Jun, your strength is not right."
Cui Qianyou took the Wuduo from Fang Chongyong's hand, pressed the special pottery pill, then put the ring on his middle finger, started to spin rapidly, and finally threw the pottery pill out!
"Click"
A branch in the distance was broken.
It seems so easy to lift a weight!
Everything is flowing like clouds and flowing water, and Fang Chongyong hasn't even understood it yet!
"There are so many skills in the military that you never know when they will be used."
Cui Qianyou returned Wu Duo to Fang Chongyong, patted the dust on his hands and said.
After Wang Zhongsi returned, he could actually join the left army of the Longwu Army, which was just a matter of Wang Zhongsi's words. But when Wang Zhongsi came to the Fang family residence yesterday, he specifically talked to Cui Qianyou and made his words very clear.
There is no problem at all in joining the Longwu Army, but it is already full of unlearned and unskilled trash. Even if there are a few who can fight, it is not enough. The army is full of chaos, everyone is competing for family background and connections, and no one wants to make contributions.
Finally, Fang Chongyong suggested that Cui Qianyou should not wait for seniority in the Longwu Army, so as not to waste his time in vain. After Wang Zhongsi is transferred to Hexi, he will definitely serve in the Chishui Army, which is the absolute main force in Hexi. By then, it will be easy to get military membership in the Chishui Army.
During this period, Cui Qianyou didn't do what he thought, and followed Fang Chongyong with peace of mind every day. The two "discussed the art of war" and fought against Wu Duo together.
"Langjun! Langjun!"
In the distance, I heard the sound of a magpie coming from behind, looking very anxious.
"It's not time to practice calligraphy yet, is it?"
Fang Chongyong turned around and looked at Fang Laique helplessly and asked.
"No, someone is coming from the palace! It's that Gao Lishi."
Fang Laique gasped and said. Fang Chongyong didn't even dare to call Gao Lishi by his first name, but this guy actually dared.
"You really need to watch your mouth from now on, let's go."
Fang Chongyong put away Wu Duo and entered Chang'an City through Chunming Gate. Just at the gate of the city, he saw several Jinwu guardsmen on duty, loading "objects" wrapped in straw mats one after another onto an ox cart like they were dragging garbage, and then set up the ox cart. , heading directly south along the city wall.
They are both cemeteries, but the west side and the south side are very different. The cemetery in the southwest corner of Chang'an City is mostly filled with dignitaries, while the one in the south is filled with cemeteries and mass graves for poor people.
Chang'an as a whole has a pattern of "the north is noble and the south is cheap". There are already many poor people in the south, and it is also next to barren tombs and mass graves. The feng shui seems not to be good. Fang Chongyong believed that these Jinwu Guard soldiers would not go south if they did not have important matters at hand.
"When a poor person dies, he can just wrap him up in a straw mat and throw it anywhere. The poor people in Chang'an are quite lucky. At least they have Jinwu Guards to help them carry out mass graves if they freeze to death."
Cui Qianyou couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, if it affects the appearance of the city in Chang'an, the Jinwu Guards will certainly have to pinch their noses to do such a thing."
Fang Chongyong rubbed his little hands that were red from the cold, not knowing what to say when faced with this scene.
Because of the severe cold this winter, the poor people froze to death due to hunger and cold.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with the logic.
As for the essence of the problem, Cui Qianyou didn't want to say it, and Fang Chongyong felt that it would be in vain.
Of course, Li Longji, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, could not experience such a feeling. Things that cannot be seen are treated as if they do not exist. The achievements of a thousand years and the beauty in pink are both to be pursued and enjoyed. Who cares about the dead bones in the mass graves?
The Jinwu guards were diligently cleaning up the frozen corpses in Chang'an square, didn't they just want the saint's ears to be quiet?
It seems like they did nothing wrong.
So what went wrong?
Fang Chongyong returned home with a heavy heart and saw Gao Lishi, wearing a thick laminated robe, walking around in the lobby. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
“It’s a sin, it’s a sin, I kept the elders waiting.”
As soon as he entered the hall, Fang Chongyong quickly confessed.
"You're welcome, I came here for a good reason."
Gao Lishi said with a smile.
Good thing?
What good things can Li Longji do?
Fang Chongyong was greatly alert.
"Please let me know, elders."
He saluted Gao Lishi with his hands folded.
"Your father, with two thousand light cavalry, raided Xianzhou City, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, and brought back to Chang'an the body of Da Wuyi, the leader of the Bohai Kingdom who had disrespected the Tang Dynasty a few years ago. Now the saint is very happy and wants to reward you, so why don't you follow? Should I enter the palace?"
Gao Lishi couldn't help but hold Fang Chongyong's shoulders, came over and whispered, "When the saint asks you something later, tell him something nice."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Before Fang Chongyong came to his senses, Gao Lishi took him into the bullock cart. Go all the way east and exit Chang'an City from Chunming Gate.
Feeling that something was not right about the route, Fang Chongyong couldn't help but said: "Elder, this doesn't seem to be the way to Daming Palace."
"Isn't that right? Your home is at the back door of Xingqing Palace. If you go to Xingqing Palace to meet the Saint, do you still need to ride an ox cart? We are going to Huaqing Palace. The Saint specifically allows you to bathe in the bath together. This kindness Chong, your father won’t be able to enjoy it if he’s not in Chang’an, so it’s all an advantage to you.”
Gao Lishi said meaningfully.
