The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

In the middle of the night, the returnees walk in Yiqiong, and Lenglin gathers in the earth garden by fireflies.

The village store is slippery with moonlight and muddy paths, and the bamboo window is slanted to leak mending lamps.

——"Night Return" Zhou Mi (Song Dynasty)

……

Although Bai Fu's crimes of embezzlement such as withholding military pay were written off, the court finally gave Bai Fu a charge of lying about his military exploits in order to end up decently.The merits and demerits are balanced, and there is no seal or reward.

Suzong's sincere consolation made Bai Fu let go of his grievances and reconcile with the court.

After Bai Fu was relieved, he did not appeal to the court's accountability, and acquiesced in this punishment.After bidding farewell to Princess Qingluan reluctantly, Bai Fu left Chang'an and rushed to Shanzhou.

The imperial court was very tolerant of the generals in Anxi who put down the chaos in the Jianghuai area. Those who made military achievements were rewarded according to their merits.

After Bai Fu went to Shanzhou, the cavalry of the Anbei Court received an order from the Ministry of War to hand over the Jianghuai military affairs to Li Qiao, the former Jiedu envoy of Jiangnanxi and Zhejiangxi, Deng Jingshan, the former envoy of Huainan Dongdao, and Xing Yanen, the former envoy of Jianghuai military supervisor. , Starry night rushed to Shanzhou and joined Baifu.

Among these people, the most disappointed one is probably Ai Dong, a dirty imperial eunuch.

The imperial court decreed that Ai Dong was appointed as the military supervisor of Anbeiting Army.Ai Dong was overjoyed at first, and went to Yangzhou with Xing Yanen for three days.When returning to the barracks again, the second imperial edict arrived.Ai Dong froze on the spot when he learned that Bai Fu would continue to be in charge of the Anbei Court Army.

At the beginning, when he was appointed as an imperial envoy, the master behind him suggested to him that he should act according to the plan when he comforted Jianghuai.

When he came to Jianghuai, taking advantage of the fact that Bai Fu was transferred back to Chang'an, and the generals were leaderless, Ai Dong not only made accusations against Bai Fu, but also tortured and extorted confessions from the generals in Anxi...

The purpose of Ai Donghu's misdeeds is also very simple, to take advantage of the opportunity of publicity and consolation, to take the opportunity to amass money and fill his own pockets.

In order to help Empress Zhang find out Yin Fenglan's whereabouts, Ai Dong designed to frame Yue Suigong, a soldier of Bai Fu's family. Xing Yanen and Ai Dong sang a red face and a bad face. .

After learning of Yin Fenglan's whereabouts, Empress Zhang immediately issued a decree and sent people to rescue Yin Fenglan...

According to Xing Yanen's previous plan, through framing, let the court remove Bai Fu's military power and keep him in Chang'an.After forcing Bai Fu away, Ai Dong can control the Anxibeiting army as an envoy of the army, follow the example of Yu Chaoen and Xing Yanen, and act as a domineering force in the army.

Unexpectedly, Bai Fu's horse stepped into the country's uncle's mansion, disturbing the whole court, and there was no peace for a moment.Li Chu convened a court meeting to convict Bai Fu Jianghuai.All the courtiers were submissive and Gu Zuo said that they didn't want to offend Bai Fu.In the end, the Anbei Court Army was still firmly in the hands of Bai Fu.

Failure to transfer Bai Fu away, the two will inevitably fight openly and secretly in the future, which makes Ai Dong very unhappy.

When he was disheartened, Ai Dong suddenly learned that the person who recommended him to be the military supervisor turned out to be Bai Fu?

Ai Dong was stunned on the spot, feeling that there was a deep abyss, that he was stepping into the void, and that he wanted to die.

Bai Fu kept Ai Dong by his side, definitely not for the purpose of fighting against the enemy together.All the courtiers could see that Bai Fu obviously had bad intentions.With Bai Fu's method of vengeance, it is already kindness not to scrape Ai Dong's skin, crush his bones and ashes...

Ai Dong suddenly felt that he was a self-righteous and complacent mouse. He had just finished eating the sesame oil and was wiping his tongue when he suddenly found a huge civet cat behind him, with a smirk on his face, staring at him covetously. Own……

……

On February 35th, King Jin Ni of the Silla Kingdom (the capital of Jincheng, now Gyeongju, South Korea) (the [-]th King Jingdeok) led a mission to Chang'an to meet with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Since the Dengzhou naval battle, Silla has not sent a mission to pay tribute to Datang for a long time.This time, not only came with a load of tribute, but also the current king himself served as a special envoy.

At this time, Emperor Suzong was ill, and Li Chu was supervising the country as the prince.Li Chu was overjoyed when he heard that.

It must be known that after the Anlushan Rebellion, the surrounding vassal states seldom paid tribute, and there was no such thing as the prosperous scene of Xuanzong's time when the world was conquered and all nations came to court.

Li Chu thought to himself: "I have just been in charge of the country, and I have such auspiciousness. It is really auspicious. Why don't you take this opportunity to make a big fuss and establish your own prestige."

In view of this, Li Chu decided to meet King Jin Yi of Silla with the highest standard.

On this day, in the Linde Hall of the Daming Palace, banners and flags were fluttering, drums and music were playing together, and hundreds of officials lined up. One could tell at a glance that there was a major state event.

At today's court meeting, Li Chu received the visiting Silla mission as the prince supervising the country.

This time, the Silla mission has a large number of people and a high standard, which is the largest in history.

In Linde Hall, Jin Yi knelt on the ground.

Although Jin Yi was the king of Silla, he bowed down to Prince Li Chu in strict accordance with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty when he bowed down to the emperor, with a respectful and humble attitude.This made Prince Li Chu feel good.

Jin Ni said: "The sinful minister Jin Ni was misled by treacherous officials, and he has been in power for several years, but he has not been able to thank the Tang Dynasty for his grace and pay homage to the Khan.

Silla is a foreign country outside the territory, and I don't know the etiquette of the Middle Earth. If I offend, I ask His Majesty the Prince to read us as barbarians, be magnanimous, and ignore previous suspicions. "

Prince Li Chu looked around the Golden Luan Hall, all the envoys of Silla prostrated themselves on the ground, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty looked forward to it.

Complacent, Li Chu waved his hands and laughed loudly: "Ai Qing is alive. Those who don't know are not guilty. Come, give me a seat."

Only then did Jin Yi get up, and sat down on the seat respectfully.Jin Yi leaned forward, not daring to sit on his buttocks, and only used a quarter of his hips to exert force on the stool.

Jin Ni's respectful attitude made Li Chu very satisfied, and he appreciated the Silla king even more.

Jin Yi said: "In the battle between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, the navy of the Tang Dynasty wiped out the navy of the Japanese state, burned all the warships that had been armed for centuries, and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates.

This battle shocked the Japanese government and the public, and the Japanese emperor went on a hunger strike for three days and issued an imperial edict to sin against himself.

After this battle, the Japanese army was seriously injured, and they no longer had the national power to launch a war.Not to mention conquering the Tang Dynasty, even attacking and harassing Silla, I can't do it.

For this reason, Weichen personally led the courtiers of Silla to enter the Tang Dynasty, thanking God! "

……

The king of Silla, Jin Yi, was frothy at what he said, and his admiration for the Tang Dynasty was like a mighty river, and he talked endlessly.

The crown prince, Li Chu, heard it very harshly. He had just convicted Bai Fu of fabricating military achievements, when an unknown king of Silla came here and slapped him in the face.

The courtiers also looked at each other in blank dismay.According to Jin Yi, King of Silla, Baek Fu not only did not exaggerate the achievements of the war, but reduced his military achievements by at least [-]%.

If this is the case, then you can't blame Bai Fu for being angry and angry at Jin Luan.

All the courtiers said in their hearts: "The imperial eunuch Ai Dong deserves to die, but the person who instructed Ai Dong to weave the crime is even more abominable. If Su Zong hadn't had the foresight to betroth Princess Qingluan to Bai Fu early on, with Bai Fu's fighting power today, Once they turn their backs, I am afraid it will be more terrifying than An Lushan and Shi Siming."

Cui Qian, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, said: "After retiring from the court, we must report today's affairs to the patriarch Cui Wei.

In exchange for Cui's children serving in Jianghuai, Cui would not marry Bai Fu.From the looks of it now, this deal seems to be a loss? "

……

Although Prince Li Chu was unhappy, after all he had been the crown prince for so many years, his emotions and anger were invisible.According to the original plan, he hosted a banquet in honor of the Silla king Jin Yi and his delegation.

"This is the best wine in the world - Kunlun Cup?"

After drinking a cup, Jin Yi was dumbfounded and admired from the bottom of his heart.

"There is such fine wine in the world?!"

Although Jin Yi is a king, he has never drank Kunlun cup in his life.Don't talk about drinking, I haven't even thought about it.

Prince Li Chu was secretly proud: "A barbarian small country is a barbarian small country. It's rare to see more strange!"

Although there are not many Kunlun wines in the warehouse in Da Nei.But the Kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty is not comparable to a mere small country.In order to highlight the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chu pretended to be heroic and waved his hands, and said to the attendants: "Since King Jingde likes it, after the banquet, I will give King Jingde ten altars of Kunlun cups."

King Jin Yi of Silla was overjoyed and almost kowtowed again.

Prince Li Chu laughed out loud.

The king of Silla, Jin Yi, smiled innocently and cutely. He looked like he was listening to the hadith, but he actually laughed secretly in his heart: "People say that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the real dragon emperor and the ruler of the world. I saw you today, but that's all.

This Kunlun cup has a long history and is a rare treasure.It is expensive because it is a treasure conceived by time, and what you taste is not the taste but the time and years.No amount of money can buy it.I heard that after An Lushan robbed Chang'an, there was not much left of the Li Tang royal family.

In the Chang'an market, the price of one altar of Kunlun wine cups is worth more than all the tributes of my Silla tribute. This second generation ancestor actually gave me ten altars? !

This is like, I gave him fifty white flour steamed buns, and he gave me five hundred dans of pure gold steamed buns in return.

I thought too much before, and felt that the tribute was inferior and could not be delayed for a long time.Now it seems that the sale of tribute is really a good deal.It's no wonder that the Wa Kingdom was unwilling to be subordinated to others, but sent Tang envoys every year.

From now on, we in Silla must also come here often! "

Thinking of this, King Jin Ni of Silla felt refreshed, and his smile became even more silly and innocent.

……

After drinking for three rounds, both the host and guest are happy.

Jin Yi, the King of Silla, said with the strength of the wine, "Your Highness, the Yijianmen of Paektu Mountain is regarded as a god by the people of Silla. Now, nearly a hundred of their disciples are being imprisoned in Chang'an Sky Prison.

Tian Khan is majestic, like the emperor of heaven, and he treats the people of the world kindly.

The guilty minister implored the heavenly court to forgive these unforgivable disciples of Yijianmen with benevolence.Give them an amnesty so that they can return to Mount Paektu and reunite with their families?

The criminals can guarantee that they will never step into the Tang Dynasty again in their lifetime. "

Prince Li Chu looked at Jin Yi's cute and fat face, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Do you know what crime the Yijianmen gang committed?"

Jin Ni was worried, and murmured: "I heard that I seem to be suspected of assassinating General Bai Fu."

Prince Li Chu snorted coldly and said, "Since you know, do you still have the guts to intercede for them?
Did you know that General Bai is the prime minister of the current dynasty, the deputy marshal of Jianghuai soldiers and horses, and the envoy of the Eight Ways? !
Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a felony to exterminate the nine clans.Even if you are a citizen of Silla, you must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, plead guilty and obey the law! "

Jin Yi pondered his own words, and whispered: "In our Silla, no matter how prestigious the general is, he is also the king's retainer. The king's words follow the law, and the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. As long as you say something, Your Highness, General Bai is not..."

Prince Li Chu's face showed an angry look, and he remained silent for a long time.

Jin Yi only felt like a light on his back, uneasy, and said: "If Your Highness is willing to show mercy and pardon the criminals of Yi Jianmen, I am willing to stay in Chang'an and become a soldier of the Beiya Imperial Army. I will die! The whole country of Silla will be loyal to Your Highness for generations, and look forward to your Highness!"

Prince Li Chu narrowed his eyes, staring at Jin Yi, thoughtful...

For some reason, "The Legend of the Hanging Sword in Shu Mountain" is likely to be removed from the shelves in the near future.

In order not to end unfinished as much as possible and continue to write the legend of Bai Fu, I will start a new book again. The title of the book is tentatively set as "The Record of the Hanging Sword in Shu Mountain". It should be the second volume of "Legend of the Hanging Sword in Shu Mountain". Keep on cheering.
