The Tang army defeated the puppet Yan army at the Xiangji Temple. The news spread instantly through the military observation team to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion in Fengxiang Mansion.
Shang Bo looked at the video sent by Li Daoyuan, and said to Zhang Leyan, the deputy envoy of Liuhou: "The Tang army has indeed won, and the countdown to regaining Chang'an has entered."
Zhang Leyan said incredulously: "The duel of more than 20 troops from both sides can be decided so quickly?"
Shang Bo said: "This is how encounters in the era of cold weapons are like this. One battle can determine the outcome."
"Now that the outcome of the war is out, the next thing is politics."
Zhang Leyan sighed and said, "Tang Jun regained Chang'an so quickly, so we don't have much time left."
But Shang Bo said with a smile: "Where is this? In history, after the Tang army took back Chang'an, they stalemate with the rebels in Luoyang for a long time."
"After that, An Qingxu fought with Shi Siming again, and Shi Siming was killed by his son. The Three Towns of Hedong killed Shi Siming's son and returned to the court. This is quite a toss."
Shang Bo said: "There is still a lot of time left for us. The reason why the Anshi Rebellion is the symbol of the Tang Dynasty's turn from prosperity to decline is because this rebellion completely exhausted the vitality of the Tang Dynasty."
"Furthermore, after the Anshi Rebellion, the three towns in Hedong were completely out of the imperial court's control."
"These are all things for later. What we have to plan now is how to use this big victory to benefit."
As a diplomat, Chambo, intelligence is his most important weapon.
The information that can be known faster than other people in Fengxiang Mansion, if you don't make good use of it, you will be sorry for Li Daoyuan and the others who have been guarding the battlefield for half a month.
Zhang Leyan asked: "Put on the congratulatory form first."
Shang Bo shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the congratulations. When the news of the victory comes back, the courtiers will naturally attend."
Zhang Leyan looked at Shang Bo in confusion and asked, "Then what shall we do?"
Shang Bo stood up and said, "Come on, take my greeting card. A few days ago, I gave gifts every day, and now it's time to get back some interest."
Fengxiang Mansion also implements the same curfew as Chang'an City, but Shangbo has the token of the Dudu Mansion, so it is natural to go out at night.
With Zhang Leyan, the two changed into official uniforms again, and no one stopped them along the way.
The first stop of the business expo was the residence of Pei Mian, the then prime minister.
During these days, Shang Bo often visited Pei Mian at home, and even the concierge gave him large and small gifts. When the concierge saw Shang Bo visiting at night, he immediately welcomed him in.
"The posthumous envoy, why is the posthumous envoy here now?" The concierge was also alert, knowing that Shang Bo's late-night visit must have something important to ask the Prime Minister.
Shang Bo took out a piece of silver cake from his sleeve, smoothly stuffed it into the porter's hand, and continued:
"Please tell Prime Minister Pei that Shang Bo has something important to report."
The concierge immediately said: "It must be a big deal to stay a future envoy, so I'll report it to the younger ones!"
The prime minister's concierge is a seventh-rank official. The concierge of the prime minister's mansion is an old servant of the Pei family.
After a while, someone in charge came over, saying that Pei Mian invited Shang Bo and Zhang Leyan to the study.
Walking into Pei Mian's study room, the clock at the back struck ten times, and it was already ten o'clock at night.
A kerosene lamp with a glass cover was placed on Pei Mian's desk, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hung over his eyes.
These are Longyou commodities presented by Shangbo these days, and to Pei Mian who likes to read, these are precious gifts worth thousands of gold.
Pei Mian comes from Wenxi Pei's family, so he naturally understands what Longyou means.
But as the biggest beneficiary of the downfall of Wei Jiansu, the relationship between Pei Mian and Dong Gong is doomed.
Appropriately getting close to King Jianning is also an investment of the Pei family.
If the crown prince Li Chu really succeeds, at worst Pei Mian will beg for the bones to go home, and there will still be Pei's children in the court who will continue to serve as officials.
It's just that Pei Mian's personal political life is temporarily tied to King Jianning.
This is the practice of aristocratic families, betting on both sides, and immediately cutting off their tails to survive when the court changes.
Pei Mian put down the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his hand, and asked Shang Bo.
"Is there any urgent business to visit late at night from the embassy?"
Pei Mian admired Shang Bo as a young post-entry envoy, he was very humane, and he was very comfortable with Shang Bo every time.
This is the so-called personal charm, and Shang Bo gave gifts all the way in Fengxiang Mansion.Regardless of their position, the court ministers couldn't find anything wrong with Shangbo when they mentioned the posthumous envoy of the Governor's Mansion.
Shang Bo didn't make any detours, and said directly:
"Pei Xiang, the Xiangji Temple has won a great victory."
Pei Mian immediately sat upright, staring at Shang Bo and said:
"Is the news reliable?"
Shang Bo said firmly: "It is absolutely true, Guo Ziyi and Li Siye defeated the puppet Yan army at Xiangji Temple, and they should have entered Chang'an City by now."
Pei Mian stood up from behind the desk all of a sudden, looked at Shang Bo and said:
"I believe you."
Pei Mian raised his head and looked at Shang Bo and said, "The great victory in Chang'an is a grand event for the court, but after staying here late at night, Shang came to see the old man, surely it was not just for the sake of repaying the victory?"
Pei Mian is worthy of being an old fox who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and he immediately sees that the purpose of Shang Bo's late-night visit is not just to reap the victory.
Shang Bo said with a smile on his face: "Pei Xiang Mingjian, Shang Bo came here this time to invite Pei Xiang to go on the table together. After regaining Chang'an, please invite the emperor to return to Chang'an!"
After Shang Bo said this, Pei Mian showed a surprised expression on his face.
He looked at Shang Bo and said after a long time:
"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. The younger generations are fearful, and the younger generations are fearful!"
Pei Mian was emotional for a long time, and then said: "King Jianning has you and others to help, maybe he can really achieve great things!"
Pei Mian continued: "The truth will be written, but I still have to give this work to your Dudufu."
"The embassy who stayed in the Shang Dynasty has already written the memorial, right?"
Shang Bo nodded, and Pei Mian suddenly changed the subject and said, "The embassy of Shang stayed here, and the imperial court is about to enter autumn. Are you interested in taking a test for fame?"
"This time, the old man was trusted by the emperor and was selected as the chief examiner. I think your talents, learning and morals are all selected. It should not be difficult to pass the Jinshi examination."
Now Zhang Leyan also looked at Shangbo in surprise.
You must know that today's imperial examinations are not so strict. As the chief examiner, Pei Mian actually recommended Shang Bo to take the imperial examination.
The meaning of this is already obvious, this is to give Shangbo a reputation.
Unexpectedly, Shangbo said categorically: "I have little talent and little knowledge, so I don't want to go to the imperial examination room to show my face. Now this position is very good, and Shangbo has no intention of changing the school."
Pei Mian sighed and said, "King Jianning can actually recruit you and other talents, so why not worry about a major failure."
When he came out of Pei Mian's mansion, Shang Bo said to Zhang Leyan:
"Hurry up, there are still several places to go! When the messenger who reported the victory arrives at Fengxiang Mansion tomorrow morning, it's time for us to go to the memorial together!"
After a busy night, a group of knights rushed to Fengxiang Mansion.
"Great victory! Great victory in Chang'an! Great victory in Chang'an!"
The word Chang'an possessed infinite magic power, and after adding the word "Dajie", the entire Fengxiang Mansion became a sensation.
"Chang'an is a great victory!" The people also cheered, and many people even cried bitterly.
Since the An Lushan rebellion, the whole Guanzhong has been like hell.
Chang'an has finally recovered!
The knight rushed from the city gate to the palace of Fengxiang Mansion, it was like pouring a bowl of water into hot oil, and the whole Fengxiang Mansion boiled.
Since the war at Xiangji Temple, the emperor has not had a good night's sleep.
This time it was a battle where the fate of the Tang Dynasty was betted. Li Heng handed over all his wealth to Guo Ziyi, just hoping to defeat the rebels and regain Chang'an in one battle.
Li Heng doesn't have many good memories of Chang'an.
Before Li Heng, Li Longji had a prince.
The prince was deposed because of Concubine Wu Hui's frame, and was killed together with Li Heng's other two brothers.
Li Heng was established as the prince not because he was the most liked by Li Longji, nor because he was the most talented, but just because Datang needed a prince.
Since a prince was needed, Li Longji appointed the oldest Li Heng as the prince.
There is no official of the Crown Prince's East Palace, and the dignified prince still lives in the ten king's house with other clan members.
The tall Ten King's House is like a prison, Li Heng has to be accompanied by everyone he sees, and needs to be approved by the Ten King's House Order to leave the house.
Li Linfu, the prime minister at that time, even attacked Li Heng with various crimes.
Li Linfu found evidence of the rebellion of Li Heng's favorite concubine Wei's family, and wanted to implicate Li Heng.
Later, Li Heng had to reluctantly divorce the princess, which saved himself.
If Datang didn't need a crown prince, Li Heng would have been abolished long ago.
Li Linfu died, and Yang Guozhong came up again.
As a relative of Concubine Yang, Yang Guozhong attacked Li Heng more violently.
Yang Guozhong also started from Li Heng's family, attacking Li Heng's favorite side concubine at that time.
Li Heng had to divorce again to keep his crown prince.
At this time, Li Heng lived in fear every day, worrying about being deposed at any time.
The dignified prince of the empire had to rely on two divorces to protect himself. Li Heng originally thought that he would never wait for the day when he would succeed to the throne.
But heaven is changeable, just when Li Heng was in despair, two coups changed everything.
The An Lushan rebellion caused the father, who was aloof and self-proclaimed a saint, to fall from the altar.
The change in Maweipo made Li Heng see clearly that his father was just a weak old man, and he had to leave his favorite concubine to survive just like himself back then.
Li Heng did not follow the emperor into Shuzhong, but went to Lingwu, and raised his troops to fight against Anlu Mountain.
After that, Fang Guan persuaded the emperor to abdicate, and Li Heng Lingwu ascended the throne.
But the father in Shuzhong was still a thorn in Li Heng's heart.
The soldiers and horses in Shuzhong are all Yang Guozhong's subordinates, and he is Yang Guozhong's deadly enemy. Will they support their father to ascend the throne again?
"Your Majesty! Great victory in Chang'an!" Yu Chaoen rushed in panting, kowtowing to Li Heng.
"Okay!" Li Heng stood up all of a sudden, and the haze of the previous few days was swept away.
With trembling fingers, he said, "Rewards! Frontline soldiers will be rewarded a lot!"
Yu Chaoen went on to say: "Your Majesty, the Longyou Governor's Mansion stayed in the backyard and 32 ministers from the imperial court jointly wrote a letter, asking Your Majesty to welcome the Emperor back to Chang'an."
Li Heng was stunned for a moment.
Shang Bo looked at the video sent by Li Daoyuan, and said to Zhang Leyan, the deputy envoy of Liuhou: "The Tang army has indeed won, and the countdown to regaining Chang'an has entered."
Zhang Leyan said incredulously: "The duel of more than 20 troops from both sides can be decided so quickly?"
