The 255th chapter is still not old (2)
Chapter 255: Shang Wanyuan (2)
Zhang Da'an was overjoyed. Li Zhi didn't ask him. He wanted to make suggestions, but let Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan and Pei Yan disturb each other and didn't know how to speak. He immediately said, "Mr. Pei's words are reasonable, but changing the commander at the last minute is not beautiful. At the least, it is not hindered, and at the worst, it may lead to a great defeat. Dafeichuan has been defeated once and cannot be defeated again, otherwise the court will not want to manage Qinghai again. Besides, the prince did a good job in Qinghai, far better than some people."
Liu Rengui groaned in anger. I returned to the court and started to be a grandson. You won’t let it go. Let’s ride a donkey and read the songbook and walk to see.
He also said: "I have made a fuss, and I am afraid that if I want to deal with Lunqinling (note), I am afraid that there is only the prince. Besides, there is also the matter of Shield Prophecy."
The conversation changed immediately.
Liu Rengui groaned again, I'm shameless, but it's far from you.
"He has a very clever approach, but it has a flaw, it consumes a lot, and it takes a long time. It has a large army and is complicated. After staying for a long time, I am worried that some conflicts and disagreements will happen. In order to prevent me from giving advice, I can send a trustworthy eunuch to Qinghai as the military supervisor, cooperate with His Royal Highness to reconcile the soldiers, and escort the supplies to Qinghai by the way."
Li Zhi immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face. This sentence is just like a person's words. After staying for a long time, will the soldiers be in conflict? There must be some, but with Li Jingxuan and Li Wei in charge, how intimidating these two people are? Who is dissatisfied with reconciliation? Could it be that Wei Dajie and Cao Huaishun dare to pretend to be big names in front of Li Wei and Li Jingxuan?
However, Li Jingxuan and Li Wei were in charge together, and they were finally wearing pairs of pants. After a long time, the soldiers calmed down. This was not 18,000 people, but an army of 180,000. Li Zhi was not worried about the others, but was worried about this. With a trusted eunuch who went there and supervised again, he would feel more at ease.
Later, Li Longji was helped by Gao Lishi and others, and then he destroyed Princess Taiping and began to value eunuchs. So he used eunuchs as military commanders to supervise the garrisons of each side. At this time, there were eunuchs who could be used as military commanders, but few were. Moreover, the eunuchs were not loud now, and even the eunuchs who were closest to Li Zhi did not dare to publicly over Li Wei and Li Jingxuan. Therefore, Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan and others opened their mouths, but they did not say anything.
That's how it was decided.
The materials did not dare to make things difficult, not because Hao Chujun and the others were picky, but because Li Zhi's intention. At this time, many ministers finally realized that the emperor wanted the prince to stay in Qinghai for three or five years. No one was embarrassed about the contributions, and others would falsely report their military achievements. The prince would never, and he would not dare to start this. There was no difficulty in asking for several official positions for the Dangxiang people. This is known, and the Tang Dynasty's ethnic policy was like this. There was no difficulty in distributing the land. No one was interested in that area, and the full power was handed over to Li Wei for temporary treatment.
So the capital city was once again in a stir. The cost of food, grass, weapons and other supplies was very huge just for winter clothes. *** Winter is cold, Qinghai is also cold, and cotton appears in time, which is more guaranteed for the soldiers stationed in the north to make winter. But how much does it cost to spend a large number of cotton coats and quilts? It has been planted more and reduced, but this primitive deseed textile technology is destined to not be able to reduce anything if you want to. A cotton coat is still more than 200 yuan, and the fabric is still the same kind of crude cloth. If you don’t cut corners, that one dares. Not to mention using more cotton quilts.
Seeing that the treasury was empty again, Li Zhi felt very distressed and wanted to stop the two canals and move the money out.
...
After this trouble, Wu Zetian began to get busy again. Li Zhi's health became worse and worse, with severe headaches, and his eyes were not clear about things. He almost officially began to hand over state affairs to Wu Zetian as an agent.
At this moment, the outside reported: "Report to the Queen, the Crown Prince's Concubine and the Crown Prince's Concubine, His Highness the King of Lu asked for a meeting."
The King of Lu is Li Lu. There is no such thing as the crown prince. The crown prince is named Siri. The crown prince of the crown prince has never been found in ancient times. This was something Li Zhi forced to think of in history. The eldest son asked his wife to say that he was rebelled and killed, the second son died early, and the third and fourth sons were not allowed to enter the capital because of his wife. The fifth son died in no way, and the sixth son was resigned. He was afraid that the seventh son Li Xian would let his wife get disabled again, so he established a crown prince to strengthen the position of the seventh son.
But the eldest son of the prince was granted a title of King Lu.
Several women walked in, immediately fell down, and said, "Thank you, Queen."
I was very happy with the victory, but after what happened at the dynasty meeting, I realized that so many people wanted to harm the prince. Many ministers spoke for the prince, but it was not Pei Yan, Li Yiyan, Hao Chujun, and Wu Zetian, who even made an exception to curse through the curtain, which scared a group of ministers.
"You all get up."
Several women got up, and Wu Zetian said again: "We must report to the public for national affairs, so don't thank me."
Then he stared at Li Lu and said, "Can King Lu speak?"
"Yes, I just can't speak clearly," Bi'er hugged her and said, "Lu'er, call me Zu Tian Queen."
"Queen Ku Tian," Li Lu said in a vague way. The word Zu Shengsheng made him call the word "Du". The meaning of this is different. Bier's face turned pale. But Wu Zetian was not angry, and hugged him and kissed him, "It grows very quickly, but the children of the East Palace are too thin."
Several women looked at each other. Wei Yue and Shangguan Wan'er were young, not counting, but the other women are still Yun Ying's body, so how can they have children? I just hope that the prince will come back soon.
Wu Zetian did not continue on this topic and asked again: "Can King Lu eat?"
"Can eat some soft food, but like to eat sweet food."
"Where are you here? Let the imperial kitchen prepare a few osmanthus candy cakes and serve them up. Be sure to be soft and sweet."
"Here," the eunuch agreed.
Wu Zetian stared at Li Lu again and said, "He looks good, but Honger was suffering back then. When I gave birth to him, I was still in the Thanksgiving Temple. I couldn't eat, didn't dress well, and couldn't take good care of it. So Honger fell into a root of illness." Speaking of this, she wiped her tears. The second son Li Xian did too much, which made her miss her eldest son. She had been deliberately forgotten in various festivals in the past.
The women did not dare to say anything. The main reason why Wu Zetian felt a little bit, I wonder if she was telling the truth or the lies.
"I just hope that Qinghai will win soon and Honger will come back safely."
After leaving concern, I really want to come back from a great victory, but I don’t know how to think about it.
"Thank you, Queen."
"No need to thank you. By the way, it's going to be cold. The harem has prepared a batch of stews for big food. I originally planned to divide it into one batch for the Eastern Palace, but I have been forgot. It's just right that you are here and take them back later."
...
In the end, the military commander was selected as Li Zhi's confidant eunuch Zhang Guidong. However, Zhang Guidong did not leave the capital immediately and had to wait until the first batch of large amounts of materials were collected before leaving. Instead, the imperial envoy who announced the edict went to Qinghai to read the imperial edict first.
But at this moment, the second good news came to the capital.
In the first battle, all the people who could be killed were Tuyuhun people, and they were in the Hehuang land. But in the second battle, I couldn't say that. The war spread to Chiling, Hequ, and even to Dafeichuan to capture a large number of people and gave them to Nuohubo. Most of these areas were not under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. They forced to go from Jishi Army to nearly two hundred miles. If they arrived at Baigucheng, they would have a large territory of zhe. This area was not a miserable place, but the most abundant place for Hequ grass.
There are many soldiers who sacrificed, and the only regret is inevitable. How can you conquer two cities without sacrifice, let alone great achievements?
Li Zhi was so happy that since he ascended the throne, he had Ping ***, Khitan and Tiele, but he had caused the Tubo people to slap a big shot. Until now, the court in the four towns of Hexi has not yet taken it back, and there was also a Dafeichuan.
In joy, he feasted the ministers in the palace and said, "By the way, I will tell you a good news."
As he said that, he asked the eunuch to bring a large map from his bedroom and hung it up, saying, "In the second year of Xianheng, I ordered Hu Ying to go to various countries in the Western Regions. This trip is quite far away. There has been no news for a long time. I only received his letter recently. The distance I went is from my Chinese people, and I have never seen since ancient times."
This letter was earlier in Li Zhi's hands. It was a great achievement. The ancient Chinese emperors especially liked this and promoted the wealth, strength and prosperity of the great country of China to the backward Xiaofan Kingdom. But they didn't like it very much. The son did not mention it to him at all. It was not important, and he even gave the name of the envoy privately. The right of the son to come from? I secretly told Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian originally wanted to explain that his son had reported this matter a few years ago. It was terrible that her husband was too concerned about hearing it, so he did not mention it and comforted him.
But Li Wei cannot blame this for this matter. He came to the Tang Dynasty at that time, and the monk was confused. Even now, he probably wouldn't report it. As soon as he reported, his father would definitely disagree. This is the envoy of a great country. How can a small Hu Shang be competent? Can the court send envoys to travel? After a while, he thought of Byzantium and arrived in Persia. He heard that the journey was long, so he retreated, let alone the distant West and Europe?
This matter is endured.
I am so happy today. I forgive my son this time. Besides, there is a time difference. When the letter arrives, maybe people are already back. What if I bring many envoys from small countries back? I simply cover up my son. It’s not just a robbery of credit. The truth is revealed. Even if Li Wei is the prince, it will be overwhelming.
So everyone stared at the map.
The map is extremely unstandard, it was expanded according to the map drawn by Li Wei. If you may see the approximate route, you are not amazed that there is such a big world outside. You all think that the earth is boundless, and you can imagine this. But after seeing that you have traveled so far, you are still amazed one by one.
The ministers sighed for most of the day, and Li Zhi was satisfied and said, "Everyone, I am very happy today. The good news has been going on for years, and the country has ushered in a great harvest. Therefore, you don't have to be polite today, you must drink your best."
As he said that, he raised his neck and drank a glass of wine.
After a while, Li Zhi was filled with wine and food, and he was very excited and asked the ministers to write poems.
When it was Pei Xingjian's turn, Pei Xingjian was in a daze. Li Zhi asked strangely: "Pei Qing, what are you thinking?"
"I heard the prince's good news and thought that Lian Po was still ambitious at the age of 70 and served the country. I was not enough for sixty, so I also became interested."
