Chapter 390 Thunder in all directions 5

Su Dingfang went out in person and invited Liu Yi, the son of Liu Shanyin. Just as he walked to the gate of the governor's mansion, he rode a fast horse and settled at the door. He immediately jumped off a pawn wearing an arrow flag and rushed to the governor's mansion with a military information bag in his hand.

"Hight, it's He Junqing. Just give it to me." Su Dingfang stopped the pawn.

The pawn was stunned, and then he came to realize that it was Su Dingfang. He hurriedly saluted and said out of breath, "The villain was ordered by General Xue, the governor of Shanzhou, Dafeichuan, to send a reply from Liu Shanyin, the messenger of the plateau. He is eager to follow the governor of Qin!"

"See the governor with me!" Su Dingfang felt a sense in his heart: It's the right time!

Later, Su Dingfang and Liu Yi and the messenger pawn entered the main hall. After seeing the salute, Su Dingfang asked the pawn to submit an official document first.

Qin Mubai's article was read by Liu Shanyin's special envoy's official document, which made a special trip to return the envoy to Tubo Golmud to discuss and marry. The letter said that he had met with Tubo Praise and Praise, and everything was negotiated properly. It was agreed that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held in the Qingluoyuan meadow, 130 miles west of Dafeichuan, and the envoy alliance of the two countries will be held to formally sign the agreement and alliance, and at the same time, the engagement ceremony of abandoning Zong and Princess Wencheng will be held. On that day, Tubo Zanpu attended the He League meeting in person and invited Princess Wencheng to the plateau with a grand guard of honor.

Qin Mubai read this not-long letter in detail. He gradually frowned and muttered, "Is it really successful? ......”

"Did the negotiation succeed?" Su Dingfang was surprised, which was obviously incredible.

"Look at it yourself." Qin Mubai handed him the letter, then looked back at Liu Yi and asked him, "Are you Liu Yi, the son of Liu Hongyu? Why do you come to see me?"

"The villain is Liu Yi." Liu Yi, a young descendant full of books, saluted Qin Mubai respectfully, and his speech was also generous and decent. Wen Wen said, "Dare to ask the governor, is this letter from my father?"

"Yes."

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment and begged, "The villain is brave. Can you show your father's letter to the villain?"

Qin Mubai nodded and said to Su Dingfang, "It's not top secret. It's okay to show him."

"Thank you, Governor." Liu Yi took the letter and read it carefully at least three times. Suddenly, there was a thick cloud of sadness between his eyebrows. Finally, he closed his eyes and shook his head, sighed with infinite sadness and indignation, "Father, your life is over!"

"What?" Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang were shocked, "Why did you say this?"

"The governor of the capital is in charge." Liu Yi frowned, took a deep breath and spit out, arched his hand and said, "My father once had an agreement with the villain. This trip to Tibet must be more bad and less auspicious. If he can't make peace, he will be buried on the Tubo Plateau. If it can be done, there will be a letter to return to the governor's office within three months. Before leaving, my father repeatedly told me that if the governor's office received his handwritten reply, it must carefully understand the authenticity and beware of forgery.

"Forgery?" Su Dingfang was surprised and said, "You mean this letter is fake? I don't think so! I'm also familiar with Liu Hongqi. I know his handwriting!"

"The handwriting is very similar, but the letter is absolutely fake." Liu Yi said affirmatively, "My father is a thick and thin person. Before leaving, he especially told me that if there is his reply, the second, fourth, sixth and eighth sentences should be hidden sentences, which should be 'both benevolence and righteousness'. But this letter is not. From this, it can be seen that the letter is absolutely forged! Moreover, although the handwriting is very similar, the tone is not very similar. Although my father is full of poetry and books, he is rough and unrestrained. Even if he writes official documents, he is also rude and generous, and will never be as gentle as this.

Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang were surprised. They picked up the letter and compared it carefully according to the method mentioned by Liu Yi. As he said, it was full of flaws.

"What else did your father say to you?" Qin Mubai asked.

"My father once said that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to be perfect, and public and private cannot be taken into account." Liu Yi's mood was already very heavy. He said slowly, "Of course, there is a reason why someone in the court named my father to go to Tubo."

"I know." Qin Mubai said, "Ten years ago, your father was only the owner of a small county in Xiangzhou, Hebei Province. After that, he threw himself under the door of Changsun Wuji, he went straight up and became the minister of Sipin Hongyu Temple and a member of the court. After all, he is the person of Changsun Wuji.

"That's right." Liu Yi did not deny it and nodded and said, "In the past, my father always respected and trusted Changsun Wuji very much. However, in this war and war, my father had his own idea and thought that it was not appropriate to negotiate and give marriage. He has worked in Hongyu Temple for many years and has come into contact with many Tubo people. He knows that the Hu people are greedy and untrustworthy, and he is deeply disgusted. However, due to the relationship between teachers and students, it is not easy to disobey Changsun Wuji's intention, so he has to obey the order. In fact, my father knows very well that it is a war or a peace with Tubo. In the eyes of people like the general and his father, it is related to the fate of the country and the century-old plan, but in the eyes of Changsun Wuji and others, it is the key to the Party's struggle. My father hated the party strife in the court, but he was unable to change it... My father told me more than once that Changsun Wuji and others lived in the narrow Chang'an and the palace, and gradually lost the competition for interests and power, and lost the vision and ideas of the state. The current eldest grandson Wuji is no longer the eldest grandson Wuji at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In fact, there is no need to argue about the war and problems of Tibet. The contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet cannot be reconciled, and the struggle will continue forever. Therefore, in the long run, the only solution is to rely on the armed forces to carry out the conquest and calm down and then carry out complete compatibility. However, Changsun Wuji and others are unwilling to release military power and power, and do not want anyone to gain higher achievements and prestige than him and erect a strong enemy on the court, so..."

"You don't have to say it, I understand..." Qin Mubai nodded and sighed, "So your father was very embarrassed. Yu Gong, he is not willing to negotiate peace with Tubo at all; in private, he can't disobey the will of his teacher Sun Wuji. He was very embarrassed, so he decided to be free from death, right?

It's not a relief. Although my father is a Confucian, he is a hard bone who would rather cut off his head than bend his knees!" Liu Yi suddenly shouted, "My father, I have a dying heart and rushed to the plateau!" The reason why he brought me here is to tell the truth to the general today; the other is to hope that I can ask the governor for help to see if I can welcome back his bones... Fallen leaves, return to the root!"

The fallen leaves returned to their roots, four words, Liu Yi said that hurt his heart and burst into tears.

"Dead heart..." Qin Mubai said, stepped forward and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said, "How did your father know that he will die on this trip?"

"Did the governor forget that his father once worked in Hongyu Temple? Earlier, the Tubo messenger lived in Hongyu Temple. My father would pay attention to them sooner or later. He knew that you and others not only had no sincerity to make peace, but also resented the previous defeat of Da Feichuan and still coveted, and also hated the Dadu governor to the bone. Their so-called initiative to make peace is to give the plateau a chance to rest and recuperate troops, and to earn the wealth of princesses and dowry, all of which are net profits. Liu Yi said, "Therefore, my father knows the dangers and fraud of Tubo robbers and hates them. But others speak lightly, dare not, and can't rely on one-sided words to influence state affairs, so they bury these thoughts in their hearts and dare not tell others. Before the departure of Tubo, my father had predicted that Tubo would never have any sincerity to discuss and give marriage. The plateau commander-in-chief of the Central Plains mission, who is responsible for contacting the Central Plains, is extremely deep and proficient in the art of fraud, and he is also a huge hero who is unruly on the plateau. There must be a conspiracy. Therefore, there is the next conspiracy agreement between the father and the villain - if the alliance is successful, it is God's will, and there are four words "benevolence and righteousness" in the letter; if not, there will be a conspiracy and tricks in the Chalin Mausoleum, and sending people to fraudulently offer letters is one of the way. My father knows that the garqinling is proficient in Sinology and has a lot of talented people under his command, so forging one or two letters is bound to be a problem. If you cheat the governor or the father and daughter of the king of Jiangxia to the Tubo Plateau... the consequences are unimaginable!"

Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang looked at each other and felt that their backs were cold!

Liu Shanyin, a little person who was not eye-catching before, now plays a crucial role - if it hadn't been for his integrity, shrewdness and generosity, even Qin Mubai could not guarantee whether he and Li Daozong would be poisoned by the poison of gar Qinling!

As Liu Yi said, if the Tang Dynasty agrees with the agreement in the letter, Qin Mubai, Li Daozong and Princess Wencheng and others go to the grass field of Qingluoyuan to meet the alliance. It won't take much time, and the gar Qinling can catch them all...

"Young commander... This... is really unexpected!" Su Dingfang, who has always been the most calm, inhaled the cold air.

Qin Mubai cut his hands behind his back, clenched his fists and eyebrows tightly, paced back and forth for a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Please, King Jiangxia!"

"Yes!"

"Big Governor..." Liu Yi's eyes were red and he smiled.

Qin Mubai stepped forward, patted him gently on the shoulder, and whispered, "Liu Yi, I have nothing to say. If it weren't for you and your father this time, Qin and countless soldiers and civilians would have been buried! Lanzhou is gone, and the land of Kansai in the Tang Dynasty may also collapse thousands of miles away from the hands of Tibet. The state shakes the danger of the Tang Dynasty... Although your father is a Confucian student who can't help but be born, he is a great hero who can't help but support the building! Qin is deeply impressed with him and you - please be worshipped by Qin!"

"The governor is not going to break the villain!" Liu Yi was scared and hurriedly knelt down first. He kowtowed and said, "The villain only asks for one thing!"

"Get up, please talk. But I promise you everything Qin can do, and I will never change!" Qin Mubai looked at him and said word by word.

"The villain... just wants to fulfill his father's last wish, welcome his father's bones or ashes back to his hometown in Xiangzhou for burial, and let him return to his roots. My father also said that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to be perfect. Please don't talk about all his words and deeds to the outside world, so as not to avoid Changsun Wuji's side... The general only said that Tubo's treacherousness and insulted my Tang Dynasty messengers, which can be famous. My father took a lot of pains and asked the general to be considerate and complete!"

"I promise you." Qin Mubai clenched his teeth, nodded deeply and said, "Actually, Tubo may not really have the courage to kill your father..."

"Yes, my father also said so. But my father will definitely die in the country. Liu Shanyi's eyes were red, and his lips trembled and choked, "Otherwise, what's the name of my Tang Dynasty? Governor Qin, how to start an army?!"

Qin Mubai put his wrist on his back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He muttered: Liu Shanyin, you are amazing! In the Tang Dynasty, there was finally a righteous man and national scholar whom I sincerely admired! In public and private, I, Qin Mubai, owe you in this life... I will pay it back in the next life!

Late at night, the lights swayed in the study of the governor's mansion. In fact, there were not many people present, only Qin Mubai, Su Dingfang, Li Daozong and Hou Junji, but it seemed that there were thousands of people holding their breath together, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

"Everyone has been expressing their opinions for a long time, and the argument committee will never be decided. It's not a way." Li Daozong said, "Mu Bai, it's clear that you have listened to all of us, which is very good. But after all, you are the lord of Lanzhou. Your Majesty will give half of Kansai to your father and son. At this time, it is up to you to make the decision.

"Wait a minute!" Hou Junji interrupted Li Daozong and said, "I don't think my idea is the best, but in the final analysis, it will be a matter of time before there will be a fight with the bastard Gar Qinling. Instead of this, it's better to make a plan - isn't he going to cheat the young marshal and the prince? Why don't we treat them in their own way?"

"Hou Junji, don't underestimate the enemy." Li Daozong said, "Don't underestimate the young gar Qinling. It was not that I, the king, destroyed his ambition with the prestige of others. At the age of ten, he joined the army and took command at the age of fifteen. Abandoned Zong's praise that he could pacify the plateau of all departments, and he could not be separated from the father and son of the gar family. Among them, the military merit of garqinling is the first, and he grew up with Qizong Nongzan. He is deeply trusted and trusted by his brothers. He even dares to exercise the power of the state on behalf of Qizong. In addition, with 200,000 Tubo iron riders at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, gar Qinling dares to wave their freedom like their own slaves - May I ask, do you, Hou Junji dare? Qin Mubai, can you do it again?"

Hou Junji's expression was stiff and speechless, and he became dumb in an instant.

Li Daozong's words hit the point and also hit the weakness of Qin Mubai and Lanzhou. Compared with the two, the superiority of the military strength of gar Qinling is not inferior to that of Qin Mubai. His advantage lies in his absolute authority and freedom. On the contrary, the court lacks trust and support for Lanzhou. Qin Mubai is stared to death and is constrained everywhere - if he does not meet the court and get the approval, he will be good at himself. When Er Qinling starts a war, Qin Mubai and Lanzhou will face great pressure and even sanctions.

To put it seriously, this is a typical example of supporting soldiers without a court!

"I'm really a little envious and jealous of garqinling." Qin Mubai laughed at himself and said, "You don't have to argue anymore. I have made a decision."

"What should I do?" Everyone asked together.

Qin Mubai's eyebrows slightly glanced at the other three people present and said in a low voice, "Even if I am beheaded by the court in the future, I don't want, dare, and can't be a turtle at this time, tightly huddle in the shell and pretend to be dead. I decided to fight with Gar Qinling on the day of the alliance - fight, one, die, fight!"
