Phi-Fic Chapter 429
Chapter 429
Chapter 429
No matter what dynasty it is, they like to compile the history of the previous dynasty, which represents a kind of inheritance from the previous dynasty.
There is also a concept that green out of blue is better than blue.
The Tang Dynasty actually had such a relationship with the former Sui Dynasty.
As early as last year, Wei Zheng took over the task of revising "History of the Sui Dynasty" to feel the historical records. It took about ten years for this book to be revised.
This revision of the history book made an evaluation of Yang Jian and Yang Guang's merits and demerits.
This is tantamount to giving an explanation to the people of the world, saying that my Tang Dynasty inherited the former Sui Dynasty, and at the same time realized the mistakes of the former Sui Dynasty.
Next, we will actively develop the country and avoid the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty.
But regarding the orthodoxy of the world, it seems that there is still something missing, a lack of human touch.
During the three major conquests of Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, that fool Yang Guang not only failed to take down Goguryeo, but also ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
More importantly, the weapons were used by the enemy. Later, when the Tang Dynasty fought with Goguryeo, many weapons were used by soldiers in the former Sui Dynasty.
This is the level. Later, many people who like to show that they are different also like to praise Yang Guang's military ability.
These people not only don't read history books, but also like to read some eye-catching and unfounded articles.
According to the major events in the Zhenguan period in Li Yun's mind, it was only in the tenth year of Zhenguan that Li Er exchanged grain for the bones of 30 soldiers from the former Sui Dynasty.
This incident obviously further reflects Li Er's love for the people.
But since Li Yun is here now, why not advance a few years, even if it is not successful, the common people will still spread their kindness.
Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others are all old politicians, so they naturally understand the significance of this matter, and if they are done well, they will definitely be famous in history.
So they all very much approve of this approach.
Not long after, Li Er sent someone to pass on the meaning of their group to Pu Lincheng and Esmo.
Naturally, Esmo doesn't care, there are plenty of horses in the grassland, let alone a thousand, he can make decisions on two thousand horses, anyway, it's okay to send some of these horses when the time comes.
Pu Lincheng was a little hesitant. He didn't expect that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty wanted to house the bones of those former Sui soldiers.
According to the Goguryeo people's thinking, wouldn't it make those bones and corpses come to the wilderness more enjoyable?
The Tang Dynasty is not the Great Sui Dynasty, so what reason is there to help the former Sui soldiers do these things?
Esmo said on the side: "The Han people are hypocritical, they have always been like this, and they must be like this this time."
Pu Lincheng nodded. After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to make the decision. After all, 30 skeletons is not a small amount, and it would take a long time to dig out even if someone hired them.
However, in order to get Datang to agree to the competition, he intends to act as a relay, so he said that he can convey it on his behalf, but whether it will work or not depends on the opinions of Goguryeo's high-level officials.
Datang naturally knew the situation. Pu Lincheng, an envoy abroad, could not have the right to decide the domestic affairs of Goguryeo, so he was mentally prepared.
It would be good if Pu Lincheng was willing to convey the message on his behalf. Anyway, even if it fails to speak out, the court is not wrong.
So Datang, Goguryeo, and Turks agreed on the second match between the three sides, which will be tomorrow morning.
……
Li Yun then went back to the East Palace. He lived in the Zuowuwei camp for the past two days, but he missed Wei Wanyu and the others.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Yun was taking a nap with Hou Shaoping in his arms, an eunuch came to report that Xie Cong had important information.
After a while, Li Yun saw Xie Cong. The latter saluted. First, he thanked Li Yun for saving Xie Shuying. Then he said that they had captured Chen Ming's cousin, and that the cousin also broke an important message.
It turned out that Chen Ming's cousin was serving the Turkic people during this time, and he vaguely overheard the chatting of the Turkic people, as if the group of Turkic people were going to make a deal with a general of the Tang Dynasty, and the content of the deal was the information of the border guards of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Can Chen Ming's cousin speak Turkic?"
"No, he is just a bastard, but he used to serve people from the grasslands, so he can understand some Turkic words."
Li Yun understood, he nodded, and then said: "This matter is very important, let's go, I will go and see this person again."
Not long after, Li Yun saw Chen Ming's cousin, and after some questioning.
Li Yun was basically sure that the news Xie Cong got was correct, and that the group of Turkic people had indeed come to Chang'an to obtain information.
But they had been staying in the hotel before, why did they leave suddenly this morning?
Could it be that they can connect with the people who traded today?
Why not before, but today?
Li Yun felt that this time was worth digging deeper. He thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that the censorship of the guards in the Tang Dynasty is very strict now.
Because all the guards knew that Datang was about to fight the Turks, so the training was more frequent than before.
Under normal circumstances, soldiers and officers are not allowed to leave the barracks.
But today, because of important matters on Zhuque Street, many guards took a day off today to let soldiers and officers go home for a small gathering, or go to Zhuque Street to cheer for Datang.
But there are several guards around Chang'an now, so which guard has a problem?
Because there was too little information, Li Yun could hardly make more speculations, so he then made two arrangements.
One is to arrange for people to monitor at the hotel on Zhuque Avenue, and if any Turkic people appear, they will immediately stare at them.
The second is to send people to the gates of each city to see if there are any suspicious Turkic people going out of Chang'an.
In fact, these two measures are not very good. First, if the Turks succeed, they may leave Chang'an immediately.
And when they arrested Chen Ming, they didn't shy away from anything.
If the Turkic people inquired a little bit, they immediately knew that they were being targeted.
Second, there are many Turkic people and people from the Western Regions in Chang'an, and some of them look very similar.
There are caravans coming and going almost every day, and it is impossible to check one by one in this regard.
It was impossible for the soldiers at the city gate to find out these people one by one.
But something should be done, maybe there is a chance?
So although the hope was slim, Li Yun still sent someone to do it.
……
Xie Cong returned to his home and found Xie Shuying reading a book.
Although she put on men's clothes, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.
Xie Cong was still a little worried. After all, the smelly scholars around here probably knew Xie Shuying's real identity, "Little sister, why don't we move."
"Move, brother, do you have money?"
For the siblings, moving was easy because they had nothing of value, and two parcels were enough to pack their belongings.
But they have already bought this small courtyard, and they don't have much money anymore.
So Xie Shuying asked the most realistic question.
Xie Cong scratched his head, and then said: "Your Highness is a good man, he is now interested in nurturing me, if I borrow money from him, he should lend it to me."
