Chapter 929 Big Event
"Turkic envoy Aka, greetings to the Grand Marshal!"
The envoy came in under the guidance of the soldiers. He didn't recognize almost anyone in the big tent.
The only familiar person was the former Turkic military marshal Daleha who was sitting in the main seat.
The hero who once made the entire Turkic people proud eventually became a senior general of another country. He even brought back a large army to settle accounts with these old ministers.
The messenger Aka looked at Daleha, with an indescribable expression flashing across his face, and finally turned into respect.
Daleha put on a stern face and asked deliberately:
"Turkic envoy, what are you doing here?"
"The two countries are at war. What brings you here?"
A-Ka lowered his head and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, the Turkic Khan, deeply feels that this war has caused enormous losses to both sides, so he sent me south, hoping to enter the Tang Dynasty and meet with the respected Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"We are here for peace talks!"
Daleha laughed, which made Aka feel even more embarrassed.
Before coming, Helu and Yuzhou had told him to regard himself as an envoy and not to be inferior to these people in momentum.
But when he really puts on this attitude, the ridicule from these people will bring down all the confidence he has built up with great difficulty!
There is still a big gap between the victorious country and the defeated country. The Turks are used to being the victorious country. Once they become the defeated country, they really cannot accept this situation for a while.
After a long while, Hu Jinghui, who was sitting on the side, restrained his smile and asked:
"Since you are seeking surrender to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why are you so arrogant?"
"It's clear that they don't take our Tang Dynasty seriously!"
Aka felt even more ashamed and simply lowered his head.
Fortunately, Daleha waved his hand lightly and stopped many generals in the tent.
He squinted his eyes and smiled, his smile was kind and gentle, as if he was still the great Turkic marshal, treating the Turkic subjects with a friendly attitude.
"You want to negotiate? Fine. I'll send someone to take you south."
"But you know that while you're negotiating, we won't end this war."
"So, I hope you can finalize the peace talks as soon as possible and return to Turkic to bring them to Helu."
"Having said that, I have done my best. I will now send someone to escort you south."
After seeing the messenger off, Daleha half raised his head.
The winter sun shines down, bringing warmth to the cold world.
He turned back to his deputy and asked:
"Have all the winter clothes been delivered?"
"Next, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the entire winter at the border."
The deputy general nodded and responded.
The deputy general had been working hard for several days for these things. Fortunately, he arrived at the border with a large amount of supplies in the early morning, which solved Daleha's urgent problem.
The supplies were transported from Chongzhou and Youzhou. Wang Tiehan, who was guarding Chongzhou, asked Lu Dayou to help mobilize supplies from several neighboring states, and only then was he able to barely gather enough supplies to prepare for the war for an army of hundreds of thousands.
Speaking of which, not only are they the most nervous now, but even Guo Yuanzhen in Youzhou has been in a state of high concentration.
To put it bluntly, the Zuo Wuwei army that remained in Youzhou was their backup.
Once they are defeated on the front line, Zuo Wuwei and the remaining Youweiwei in Chongzhou will make all preparations for a series of events after their retreat.
As for Wang Xiaojie...
Daleha is not sure whether Wang Xiaojie is in Liangzhou or Dunhuang.
Before the two parted ways, Daleha had never expected that Wang Xiaojie would be so confident in handing over such an important task to him and then go to pacify the foreign races.
Judging from the time, Wang Xiaojie may have just arrived in Dunhuang.
Their frontline troops must be more cautious and must not let the Turks take advantage of any loopholes.
……
Before the envoy arrived in Luoyang, an express train of eight hundred miles had already arrived.
During the grand court meeting held every five days, Li Cunxi sat on the dragon bed and listened to the officials below discussing various matters.
He would usually handle government affairs, but most of them were handed over to the many ministers under him. As an emperor, several elders liked to urge him to practice calligraphy.
However, after practicing for so long, his handwriting still did not improve at all. Instead, he began to doubt the saying that "practicing calligraphy is beneficial to self-cultivation".
In the grand court meetings, most of the time he wasn't needed to make any strong decisions. He would only step forward to make decisions when absolutely necessary. What he loved most was watching the people below quarreling...
However, there have been fewer quarrels recently. Except for the sudden attack on Yao Ting by the Imperial Censor Zong Qinke a few days ago, everything has been easy to deal with.
The ministers were very quiet today, discussing the rotation of the governors of certain states. Li Cunxi was dozing off when he vaguely heard the very familiar name "Zeng Tai".
"Zeng Tai has worked hard for many years as the Governor of Liang Province. This time, he even mobilized food and fodder for Feng Yang's army and actively helped defend the city. It is not uncommon for him to be transferred to Luo Province as the Governor."
Di Renjie, contrary to his usual behavior, took the initiative to recommend Zeng Tai.
Several prime ministers had their own disciples and old officials, and they all wanted to bring their own people to the capital, and even Xue Qinglin was no exception.
Xue Qinglin, who was the Shangshu You Pushe, stepped forward decisively and said:
"During his tenure as Governor of Suzhou, Zhang Yi handled public affairs well, without a single mistake. When His Majesty the Prince of Liang toured the nineteen prefectures of Jiangdong, he praised Zhang Yi highly!"
"In my opinion, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Zhang Yi to be transferred to Shendu to serve as the Chief of Luozhou!"
Shangshu Zuo Pushe Duoduo watched the people arguing. Since he had just entered the Tang Dynasty court not long ago and didn't know the current situation, he simply kept his mouth shut.
At this moment, Wu Chengsi stood up and said:
"Luozhou is the seat of the gods. We must have a man of high moral character and prestige who is capable of presiding over the overall situation to serve as the governor!"
Chen Ming, who is still the governor of Luozhou, raised his eyebrows secretly when he heard this.
He is now in his fifties and has served as the chief officer of Luozhou for several years. He is indeed highly respected... Bullshit!
This Wu Chengsi is really good at talking nonsense.
Is he considered to be highly respected?
"If we talk about moral integrity and prestige, it must be the heir of the Li family!" Li Gui raised his neck.
Li Cunxi sat on it, holding his chin and looking down.
The arguments among the crowd were all expected, as the position of Governor of Luozhou was not something that ordinary people could hold.
Luozhou is the capital. Anyone who serves as a governor in the capital must first have a strong background and not be afraid of threats from anyone.
Secondly, this person must be very brave, brave enough to ignore anyone's coercion and be ruthless to others.
At last……
This person must also maintain awe of imperial power.
In other words, we need a Bao Zheng who has a respectful heart.
But this person is not easy to find.
Li Cunxi had no intention of finding a Bao Zheng for himself in this era.
Looking at the ministers under the Danchi, he cheered up and said:
"My dear ministers, have you still not decided on a candidate?"
"In that case, let me choose this candidate."
"Come here, summon Luo Guanguang to the palace!"
