"Brother Lu Xian, is there anything else you need my help with?" Hearing Lu Chen say there was one more thing, Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked curiously, "Is there still some merit that needs to be given to me?"
"If this matter can be regarded as a credit, it should be a big credit. But if this thing really happens, the prince cannot take the credit alone. Moreover, if the prince really does this, he needs to save one person's life! "Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong seriously and said.
Lu Chen said "it may happen", but this matter will definitely happen, because Li Xiaogong will definitely participate in this matter when he goes to "pacify Lingnan", that is, the rebellion of Danyang's Fugong. After this matter is settled, and Li Xiaogong and Li Jing pacify Lingnan, there will be no more wars in the entire Tang Dynasty. It can be said that peace in the true sense has been achieved before fighting against foreigners.
"Oh? So serious?" Li Xiaogong asked, seeing Lu Chen's serious expression when he said this, he also put away his smile.
"Because this matter may involve King Wu!" Lu Chen said looking at Li Xiaogong.
"King Wu..." Li Xiaogong naturally knew who Lu Chen was talking about as King Wu, and he frowned in thought.
Lu Chen did not disturb Li Xiaogong, but quietly drank tea and waited.
"Are you saying that King Wu has objections?" After a long time, Li Xiaogong asked Lu Chen solemnly in a low voice.
"No! Since the Tang Dynasty surrendered, there will be no rebellion. What's more, Du Fuwei is not a fool, wouldn't he understand the stakes involved?" Lu Chen shook his head directly, "What's more, Du Fuwei I have been to Xia Zhuangzi twice, does the prince also think that he is just here to vent his anger?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows at Li Xiaogong when he said this.
When Li Xiaogong saw Lu Chen's raised eyebrows, he immediately understood the key. Obviously, Du Fuwei had already been in contact with the Chang'an County Duke in front of him, and the relationship between the two was definitely not what the outside world spread. Li Xiaogong even believed that Du Fuwei's current attitude towards Lu Chen was arranged by Lu Chen to show Du Fuwei to outsiders.
"I didn't expect that all of us were plotted by Lu Xiandi!" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and said with a bitter smile. Li Xiaogong's words were not without purpose. Now, except for Li Xiaogong who was reminded of the key by Lu Chen, everyone outside I think Wu Wang Du Fuwei and Lu Chen can't be dealt with.
"It's not that I'm scheming, but I'm thinking about the Li family!" Looking at Li Xiaogong's somewhat self-deprecating smile, Lu Chen shook his head directly, "Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and your Majesty gave him the King of Wu and the Tian family. But after all, they are still people with different surnames. They have been recognized by His Majesty now, what about in the future?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and said, now that the words have come to this, Lu Chen directly opened the skylight with Li Xiaogong. After speaking frankly, Lu Chen didn't believe that Li Xiaogong couldn't figure out the purpose of the five hundred guards Li Yuan gave to Du Fuwei.
"That is to say, Brother Lu Xian has plans for Du Fuwei?" After listening to Lu Chen's words, Li Xiaogong nodded. As a meritorious prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not see what was going on here? If he couldn't see it, He won't let the outside world think that he is a "lecherous" person.
"A place as big as the Turks always needs people to conquer it! Besides, there is also a huge territory in the west. Isn't this a place for people to be employed? How much does it cost for such a man who is good at conquering and fighting to be locked up in Chang'an City all day long? Some of them are overqualified, don't you think so? Prince?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and said.
"But after all, he is also a surrendered general. Is it really credible?" Li Xiaogong couldn't help but feel worried when he heard that Lu Chen planned to let Du Fuwei go out to fight.
"He went out, but isn't his son still here? Moreover, Du Fuwei is not stupid. If he goes out to find a place to become a vassal king, will it have any impact on the Tang Dynasty? Besides, if I am not boasting, he may lead troops to fight. I'm not as good as you, but if you want to kill a person, I'm afraid no one in the world can do it better than me!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong very proudly, "Besides, the world is so big, and our Datang territory is huge. Now, he still needs someone to manage him! Even if he is a reduced general, he is still a member of our Tang Dynasty. Where can he go? Do you think so? Prince?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"I didn't expect Brother Lu Xian to have thought so far!" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but admire, "So during this trip to Nanling, will I encounter the Danyang rebellion?" Li Xiaogong suddenly remembered that this topic was mentioned. Why, he couldn't help but look at Lu Chen and asked.
"Du Fuwei has been away from Danyang for a long time. As far as I know, both Fu Gong'er and Zuo Youxian are not fuel-efficient lamps. This Fu Gong'er was suppressed because Du Fuwei was by his side at that time. Now I am sure that Du Fu Wei will not return to Danyang. If you were Fu Gonger, what would you think?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and asked.
"If I were the auxiliary prince, I would also find a way to establish myself as king. This kind of person will not endure being under others for a long time. However, the military power of King Wu's fiefdom is not in his hands, which means he will design to seize the throne. Overtake military power and then rebel!" Li Xiaogong thought of the whole thing after Lu Chen said this.
"If that's the case, can't I just go and kill Fu Gong'er and Zuo Youxian?" Li Xiaogong directly made a suggestion to Lu Chen.
"What's the crime? Then Fu Gong'er is now running Danyang in a prosperous way. If you go up and kill the actual leader, won't the people below directly rebel?" Hearing Li Xiaogong's suggestion, Lu Chen laughed directly Then asked, "There must be a reason for killing people!"
"Brother Lu Xian, you said that when it comes to killing people, you have many means. Why don't you accompany me?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and the look in his eyes gave Lu Chen a "bad intention" a feeling of.
"Your Majesty, if it were another time, there would be nothing wrong with me accompanying you on this trip! But you also know that His Majesty wants to grant me a marriage, and it is just an imperial edict! If Your Majesty grants me a marriage, let's go, At least it will take more than half a year, if then..." Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong with some embarrassment and said.
"I was negligent!" After Lu Chen said this, Li Xiaogong also remembered this matter and said to Lu Chen directly with an apology on his face.
"So I have prepared some things for the prince, and I will ask my family to send them over when the time comes. If anything happens to the prince then, you can also contact me through those things!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "As for if I can assist you then, If Gong Er rebels, if His Majesty orders you to go and put down the rebellion, I suggest that you work with Li Yaoshi and Li Ji to put down the rebellion!"
"Okay! I have written it all down!" Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement, "By the way, Brother Lu Xian, the thing you mentioned that can contact you and me is not the 'Hongyan Chuan Shu', right?" Li Xiaogong looked at Lu Chen and asked road.
The term "swan geese sending messages" does not only refer to love. Before the advent of homing pigeons, the ancients used swan geese to convey messages. Of course, this is just a legend. This legend comes from Su Wu. It is said that the Xiongnu Chanyu deceived the envoys of the Han Dynasty. , said that Su Wu was dead, but the Han envoy said that the emperor of Han shot down a wild goose flying from the north while hunting, and there was a silk script tied to his foot, which was written by Su Wu, so the Chanyu had to let Su Wu go.
This is also where swan geese pass messages. As for whether migratory birds like swan geese can pass messages, Lu Chen doesn’t know, but homing pigeons can definitely pass messages. Therefore, Lu Chen has been destined to Weiwei since a few years ago. Domesticated homing pigeons.
As for pigeons, some were caught and some were bought. Of course, no one in this era used carrier pigeons to send messages, but it was a fact that pigeons often became dinner.
Jade pigeons were unearthed from the tomb of Fu Hao, a female general in the Shang Dynasty. This shows that during the Shang Dynasty, people had already understood and raised pigeons, but at this time pigeons were still a kind of food. After all, there is a story in the "Book of Rites" There is a record: "There are six animals, six beasts, and six birds in the cook's palm." Zheng Xuan explained these animals. The six birds include geese, quails, eagles, pheasants, doves, and pigeons.
Therefore, pigeons were not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, pigeons were still a kind of food.
Lu Chen asked people to get pigeons. These people thought that his father-in-law wanted to eat pigeons, but they didn't know that Lu Chen got these pigeons to Beiweiwei's camp, and found special people to raise them, and even gave him a book The so-called "Pigeon Training Manual".
As for these pigeons, Lu Chen's original idea was to use them for Shengshi and Hongyuan Escort Agency. After all, his plan was not in Chang'an. What if it was a place far away and he wanted to know something? Ask someone to deliver the letter? Eight hundred miles a day to rush? Not only would the horses be exhausted, but the people would be exhausted too!
What's more, can its speed be compared with that of carrier pigeons?
And before the stall is opened, if Li Xiaogong goes to Lingnan and Li Daozong returns to Lingzhou, isn't this the best choice for him to test the carrier pigeon?
"Hongyan Chuan Shu? I have always thought that thing is a legend. Apart from Su Wu, have you ever seen anyone use Hong Yan Chuan Shu?" Hearing Li Xiaogong's guess, Lu Chen admired him even though he was pretty much right about this prince. Although he was very witty, he still directly denied Li Xiaogong's guess.
"That's true!" Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Li Xiaogong nodded.
"But it's almost the same! Although it's not a swan goose, I'm asking my family to tame a kind of bird. If it can be done, it will be almost like a swan goose sending a message! So, the prince's guess is not wrong!" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiaogong and smiled. said.
"Oh? If there are such birds, wouldn't it be much more convenient to exchange letters in the future?" Li Xiaogong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Lu Chen's words.
"You can't say that. After all, this kind of bird can't carry much, and the information it conveys is definitely not as comprehensive as a letter!" Lu Chen shook his head and said.
