Chapter 379: Modao Heng Cliff (2)

This is Dai Zhide, one of the elders among the ministers. If it were Hao Chujun or Li Yiyan, those ministers with impatient personalities would not ask like this long ago, but would jump up.

"I'm wrong," Li Zhidao.

After this change, I don’t know what to say, but I only know these three words.

Wu Zetian pinched his hand, walked out from behind the curtain, and said, "Your Majesty Dai, it's not that I won't say it. Look at these military newspapers, each has its own opinions. The front line changes three times a day, and even Your Majesty cannot make a correct judgment. Haven't you seen Your Majesty now, and you are a little better today and have been ill these days. Your Majesty Dai, state affairs are the most important."

Hearing that state affairs were the most important, Dai Zhide did not speak for a long time, but said, "Your Majesty, I have always wanted to say that Li Jingxuan did not tolerate Minister Pei when he was in the Ministry of Personnel, and when he was the prime minister, he did not tolerate Prince Liu. How could the two generals have been involved in the army for all ages?"

"Yes, I thought at that time that Li Jingxuan had been transferred to Qinghai, and he worked hard and could not be demoted to deputy commander casually. Thinking of him getting close to the prince, I was careless. I was wrong."

"Not only, Your Majesty, you not only use Li Jingxuan to restrain you, but also use an eunuch to restrain you. Your Highness is the crown prince, and the others are all ministers. Even if Li Jingxuan has the credit of Li Ji, what's wrong with being the deputy commander?" Dai Zhide unceremoniously exposed Li Zhi's excuse. But he was an elder and spoke very politely.

"I'm wrong."

"It's wrong. If you were just an ordinary prince, why did Qinling send out a large army of 300,000 to 400,000 troops to encircle and suppress it? Even a Tubo person could see that Your Majesty didn't know? When the prince was just young, His Majesty put him in the Eastern Palace in order to prepare for training, and asked the heroes and great scholars to teach him carefully. When he grew up and became an adult, his actions had many flaws, but many measures made the ministers happy and made the people happy. However, His Majesty suppressed several times and even forced His Majesty to go to Guangchengze and Mount Li to hunt, keep a low profile. Think about how Emperor Taizong treated His Majesty in the past? Now he finally sent His Majesty to send His Majesty into the mouth of the tiger. His Majesty was no longer afraid and no longer needed to worry. At most, there would be one virtuous lord in the Tang Dynasty and one stupid lord."

This is the letter written by Dai Zhide and Lun Qinling has not yet been shown to him.

If Wu Zetian had not resolved the situation in advance and Lu Qinling suddenly revealed the truth, he could imagine the reactions of other ministers.

"I'm wrong."

Li Zhi only said that I was wrong, and Dai Zhide could not imagine it. Could it be that he would have taken Li Zhi to Qinghai and kneeled down to the West to apologize?

Seeing that her husband's face became bad, Wu Zetian said, "Grandpa Dai, Your Majesty is too regretful now. Can you say a few words? Now that things have come, you should try every means to save them. The reason why I call you here is that Your Majesty is honest with the people of the world and posts this self-criticism in various prefectures and counties. The second is to summon all your ministers to discuss how to rescue the prince."

"Yes," the poor man Dai Zhide was deceived. Posting to various prefectures and counties is not because the emperor wants to admit his mistakes, but because he deals with Lunqinling. It is not easy to rescue the prince, and he has discussed it with Pei Xingjian.

"Your Majesty, what else is there?" Dai Zhide was a little anxious and had to discuss with all the important officials immediately. Since the prince escaped, he had to find a way to rescue him and there was no time to delay.

"In addition, I'll go to Qinghai to find out the matter at the end. I'll take Li Jingxuan, Cao Huaishun, Wang Gao, and Wei Waijing back to the capital, and then promulgate an imperial edict for the emperor, so that Pei Xingjian will be the deputy marshal of the Taohe Road Army, and Hei Chi Changzhi will be the governor of Shanzhou. Qi Bi Ming temporarily also took Li Jinxing's position. However, Hei Chi Changzhi ignored the orders of his superiors and took soldiers out of Chiling without regard to the orders of his superiors. He will be punished and fight a hundred more troops."

This time I finally got the right person, but it was too late.

But this appointment also means that the war has not stopped and continue to fight.

Later generations praised Wu Zetian's twelve words, which cannot be praised, such as frugality. After she came to power, she did not see the word "frugality" at all. For example, if you don't use troops on the border, the war was almost never interrupted, and most of them lost miserably.

Dai Zhide left the harem in a daze, and then called out several prime ministers. After thinking about it, he thought it was not enough. He summoned all the ministers of various departments and the ministers of the Nine Temples, and took out Li Zhi's guilty edict and various military newspapers and said, "Everyone, a big thing has happened, you see."

When I saw this, I immediately became a boiling water, and there were also many people who were happy, but a few.

Hao Chujun immediately asked to see Li Zhi, and the matter must be explained clearly. However, the reward he received was that the emperor fainted just now and the imperial doctor was treating him. He could not see him at this time. At least one month or two months later, the matter gradually subsided before he could meet the minister.

Hao Chujun had no choice but to look at Liu Rengui and said, "Grandpa Liu, why bother to implicate His Highness the Crown Prince in the dispute between you and Li Jingxuan?"

Liu Rengui said in shame: "Mr. Hao, I don't want it either. At that time, the war was about to hit him, and Li Jingxuan made things difficult and restrained everywhere, and I was so angry that I got sick. Later, Your Majesty asked the prince to go. In my opinion, this person could make things difficult for me, to make things difficult for all ministers, and to make things difficult for Mr. Pei, but it was not a harm to the prince. Who would have thought that the consequences would be like this?"

I feel grateful and uncomfortable in my heart.

Fortunately, I was lucky to come back, otherwise I would have died in front of me. At least if I was trapped on the ridge like the prince, with more than 200,000 troops around me, I would never think of such a tragic way to break through. What was uncomfortable was that the prince became his scapegoat.

"Then think of a way to save the prince."

"Let me take a look," Liu Rengui brought all the maps. The other prime ministers were just staring at him. Only he knew military affairs the best. Until now, there are not many people who value Pei Xingjian. The main reason is that Pei Xingjian did not personally preside over a large-scale battle and did not have much record to show off.

After reading for a long time, Liu Rengui showed the battle report and map to Pei Xingjian and said, "I am confused and can't think of a good idea. Mr. Pei, come and take a look."

"It's not that I'm looking at it. There's a map that you didn't pay attention to," he said, drawing out the map drawn by Li Wei from the war report.

"This plan is good," Liu Renguisi said after paying a moment.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing went to the Tuyuhun, and then the Dangxiang people asked to support him. Tuoba Yici surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. However, the court was obviously not interested in this area, so he drew thirty-two banished states between Jishi Mountain and Xiqing Mountain, which was considered to be a subject of our Tang Dynasty. For this reason, no officials were appointed, let alone management. The people of the Xu*** Xiang tribe did not know about this. Instead, Tuoba Yici took his tribe to move near Songzhou and strengthened his tribe.

In fact, it is not easy to manage. Most of them are still close to Tuoyuhun, and even many tribes disagree with Tuoba Yici's request for surrender. So in a sense, these thirty-two banished states are equivalent to castles in the air. Or like Li Wei's drawing on the map, Siberia is Chinese and Oceania is Chinese, which is wrong. If you paint, the entire earth is still Chinese. It is considered that the Tang Dynasty briefly entered this area.

In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo conquered Bailan and Dangxiang, defeated the two units, and the army joined forces at the foot of Jishi Mountain to attack Songzhou. This was the Battle of Songzhou, leaving in a gray face. That's it, the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to Bailan and Dangxiang people.

Now that Tubo has annexed Tuyuhun, this position becomes important.

There is a condition that can be implemented, and Zishan is even more difficult to climb. In addition to the flat plateau in the northwest of Songzhou, the terrain of Qiang to the south has become complicated and dangerous. Either enter Bailan from the Tang-Tibet Avenue. As long as the troops are strong, these two units can be locked up and cut off the road from Tubo to Tuyuhun. Moreover, after the exploitation of Tubo, the Dangxiang people finally understood the various benefits of protecting under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the first premise is to seize the entire Hequ, first lock it up from the upstream, then from the downstream, first pass the Dangxiang people, and then pass Bailan Qiang. In other words, the prince must come back alive.

Mr. Pei said: "It may not be pessimistic. This time the prince went to Qinghai. Although his military capabilities were not as good as Lunqinling, he could be well prepared."

Hao Chujun said: "So what should we do?"

"I have already talked with Your Majesty. If the prince wants to escape, it is difficult to guess where he escaped from. We can guess it, and we can guess it. Everything is possible, so from Lizhou to Suzhou, all the governors are ready to do a rescue work. I go to Qinghai to see if I can respond from the side and disperse the Tubo people's troops. It is unlikely that the direct rescue can only be restrained. The less troops the siege is, the prince will have a glimmer of hope. Also, I would like to ask you to put down your prejudices and put state affairs first and not to restrain me. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Staring at Zhang Da'an together.

It was his idea to send an army supervisor to the beginning.

"I don't know," Zhang Da'an replied. He was a little guilty, although he was very happy.

...

The news spread all of a sudden, and the entire Chang'an City was shocked.

In the palace of Prince Yong, Gao Zheng said: "Congratulations to His Highness Yong."

"I'm still worried," Li Xian said, but he couldn't help but feel excited and his body trembled for a while.

"What are your highness worried about?"

"Two days ago, Dali Temple searched Zhang Guidong's property, and I was worried that my father would notice it."

"Look at Your Majesty's self-crime edict, it clearly states that it was Lun Qinling who bought this person, let the court notice it, and fled to Tubo. No matter what this person says, no one will believe it. Besides, when he gave him money, he did not clearly state the name of His Highness, so how did he use it as evidence."

This is not a hidden bell. I didn't expect Lun Qinling to attack Li Zhi and force him to fight back with a crime edict. Li Xian took the crime edict and looked closely. He believed it and doubted it in his heart. It was so smooth?

"Do you think big brother will escape?"

"No, the prime ministers in the court have discussed it, but they all have no good plans. Although Mr. Pei was replaced by Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei only said that he would send troops to respond, but he did not dare to say rescue. Look at the map, when the prince arrived in Wuhai, he would escape again and would be in Tubo. If the plateau was not mentioned, what would happen if thousands of people fled to the hinterland of Tubo?"

"Yes, I feel ashamed."

"Your Highness, those who accomplish great things do not care about minor matters. You cannot retreat at this time."

"I want to retreat, can I retreat?"

"That's right, but there is no hurry at this time. Once the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, your highness can gather all the ministers and wait for a good opportunity. However, now that Your Majesty is seriously ill, Your Highness still needs to visit him. Filial piety is the basis."

"Okay, I'll go now." Li Xian prepared the car and entered the Daming Palace. After reporting, a eunuch soon announced an eunuch, asking him to go in. He knelt down and cried, looked at Li Zhi and said, "Father, your health is important."

Li Zhi just said nothing.

Xiao Liu's move also made him feel cold. It was too poisonous to tell. A person who is usually very gentle, but Xiao Wu was stubborn from time to time and did such a few times. However, Lao Qi was a little inferior in qualifications and Lao Ba was young. He had no choice in his heart.

"Father, let me give you a massage," Li Xian knelt down and came to the bedside.

"I don't need it."

Li Xian felt something was wrong, and Wu Zetian waved at him and said, "Come here."

Li Xian had to follow him and was disgusted with this mother, but filial piety is the most important thing and cannot publicly disobey. Besides, the eldest brother is dead this time, so he must be calm and endure everything.

Following Wu Zetian to a palace, the eunuch opened the door of the small palace. The room was empty, but there were a bunch of things, many gold ingots, and jewelry and jade. Under the winter sunlight, it shone with a bright luster. Seeing these wealth, Wu Zetian was furious and picked up the gold ingots and smashed them on Li Xian's body.
