Chapter 436: Holding the Copper Immortal (I)

This good news arrived in Luoyang.

Li Zhi was overjoyed and immediately called the ministers to discuss. He has been fighting until now. When his son came back, he was very happy, but after he was happy, he saw that the treasury was empty and he was not optimistic.

There is an obvious example. Li Shimin fought against the two battles. From the perspective of the war, the Tang army has never lost, but was forced to withdraw its troops because of the weather. However, due to the short time, it did not conquer the troops, and formed a stalemate war. Just like the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, you did not break through many cities in my family, and I did not break through many cities in your family.

This is the worst battle situation.

Every time an arrow is shot and a knife is lost, it is not made of iron, but made of money. At this time, mining technology is destined to be equally precious. Sometimes, in order to have enough weapons, the farm tools are harvested and melted again and cast into weapons.

There are also food and grass. In Chang'an, a dou of rice increases to 100 cents, which is amazing and will starve people to death. However, it is not uncommon to transport it to *** or Qinghai, each dou of rice increases to nearly 100 cents. Even if the people don't have money or livestock don't have money, the food and drink on the road is an amazing consumption. If it is transported to the Western Regions, it will not be transported. With great skills, you don't want to transport a grain of food over. On the contrary, you have to prepare the food for the people to come back.

So after two attempts, Li Shimin did not suffer any losses, but sighed and regretted it. It did add heavy pressure to the national strength, and the loss was not worth it.

Of course, if the attack is successful, it will be another matter. *** has been established for many years and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Therefore, when Li Zhi's hands were not small in scale and the country's burden was not heavy. This historical book will not record it.

In short, this fierce battle brought heavy burdens to both the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

This good news came at the right time.

The good news turned around in the hands of the prime ministers, then turned back to Li Zhi. Wang Dezhen said, "Your Majesty, I have something unknown."

"Say, I'm calling you to come here to make up for the missing."

"I don't know about the military ahead. But why did the Crown Prince repeatedly explain one thing in the good news, and he was forced to make changes to the battle plan presented to His Majesty. But, as ministers, why didn't we see the battle plan presented to His Majesty?"

This statement has profound meaning.

As the emperor, you can just stop if you don’t know. It is very likely that Zhang Daan will be allowed to help King Yong fight for the throne for his own ambitions, and at all costs, regardless of the safety of the country, he will be able to sell more than 100,000 soldiers ahead to Qinghai. He also took precautions without regard to the court system, so why did he let Zhang Daan be the prime minister?

Wu Zetian's face turned dark after hearing this behind the curtain. This Wang De is really a fool and can't speak.

It seems that he has made a clever trick, and he pointed out this matter in a tactful way, taking the opportunity to bring down his second son, his only backer. In fact, it is not. This sentence can be heard from the other way around. The country is your country, but it is also the country of the Tang Dynasty. But as the emperor, you cannot have a small balance technique, and you ignore the safety of the country and the tens of thousands of soldiers fighting bloody battles ahead. It turns out that you should know, but why are you still appointing Zhang Da'an?

I don’t know if it’s stupid, but I know if it’s stupid!

Not only that, there are events that happened some time ago.

Wu Zetian really didn't know that this subordinate had fought for his family. Without winning, there was no memorial. However, he heard rumors in the market. At first, it didn't spread quickly, but later it spread quickly. There were many rumors in recent years, and there were no *** and the gods of crabs, so the people dared to discuss it. Wu Zetian has not paid attention to it yet. The second article said that the emperor was foolish in love with power, and there were such rumors before.

This is true, but in other words, if the husband is not sick and is less than fifty years old, it is the golden moment for a man. How could he abdicate at this time?

But where did the first rumor come from? When asked, it turned out that Wang Dezhen proposed to let his nephew be the young minister of Dali Temple. So he called Wang Dezhen and scolded him. He could not do this. It turned out that the recruitment of confidants and nephews were all based on the opportunity. Once the situation stabilized, it was a foregone conclusion, and the husband had no choice but to do anything. Now that the eldest son has returned safely and succeeded to the throne has become a foregone conclusion. If the storm is stirring up again, how can the husband think?

Besides, you are a prime minister. You are instructed by your husband when you turn to your sons. Even if you turn to yourself, it is instructed by your husband. Only in this way can the court be balanced. That's it. Dai Zhide and others only support the prince, but do not become the prince's best friend. Those who support the stability of the prince are for the future of the Tang Dynasty. But you, a dignified prime minister, actually fall towards the relatives of the outside world. How can your husband think? Could it be that you want to help the queen ascend the throne and the relatives of the outside world be prime minister?

This is done very irrationally. Of course, it is impossible to say it directly and express this meaning in a tactful way.

Wang Dezhen admitted his mistake and went back. Wu Zetian sighed, "There is still no talent." If Xu Jingzong was alive, he would not have done such a reckless thing."

But not long after the training, I made this mistake again.

Zhang Daan didn't say anything. In his heart, you are a fool. You can do this once, but you dare to do it a second time? Well, it's hard to say that the one in Li Xian's mansion did not hear useful news, otherwise there would be nothing that he wouldn't dare to do.

Liu Rengui and others were also very disgusted with this person, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. The prince presented his Majesty with a letter, not a memorial, and it was also a draft statement. Your Majesty also specially summoned the ministers to read it, which wrote some of the prince's ideas, not a resolution. Therefore, it was not passed on to the ministers."

This is what a prime minister said!

Li Zhi glanced over with gratitude, but remembered Wang Dezhen in his heart. Wu Zetian could hear the rumors, and of course he also heard the rumors. In a few days, let this person go first. But after this introduction, the atmosphere became subtle. Government and military affairs could not be striking, and once they were stolen, it would become complicated immediately.

Several people were each making their own small plans. Liu Rengui looked at each other's faces and thought to himself that he would never fight for the court, so he said again: "I have another discussion."

"Liu Qing, say."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a long-term vision and a comprehensive idea. Qinghai is now unavailable. If you get it, you will inevitably fight hard. Abandoning my strengths, the enemy's strengths are not a strategy for military strategy. However, Qinghai's newly acquired land is the most fertile place in Qinghai. Most of the Jiuqu are in Hedong, especially the small and small Yugu, which is the most fertile area in Qinghai. Tens of thousands of people have been moved over there, and I have also personally inspected the area. If you are farming, from Hehuang to Jiuqu, you can at least 50,000 hectares of fertile land, or even 100,000 hectares."

At this time, people were very sensitive to the land and had several levels. For example, the overseas land mentioned by Li Wei, the ministers were very interested in it, or the desert areas were not interested. However, once Qinghai was plowed out, not only Qinghai, but also the Hexi Corridor would benefit. Seeing the locust plague in the Hexi Corridor last year, I could only see it, but I could not help. It was too far away and there was no access to water, so I had to watch the insects and the people were displaced. Once the Hexi Corridor stabilized, the Western Regions would be stable. This series of changes was very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhifu Xu said, "Yes. Mr. Jiang wanted to farm in Liangzhou a few years ago, but he died too early and did not promote it. He did not expect Honger to succeed."

Using Jiang Ke also made many people discuss it, and took the opportunity to correct Jiang Ke's name.

"Yes, but Your Majesty, there are many people in Qinghai in this area, and hundreds of thousands of Dangxiang people all surrender. I think that the four prefectures of Shanguhehetao can no longer be governed. Therefore, I have a discussion and will open the Jiaohe County again, and the Wansu City, Hongji City, Baigu City, and Yugu City, as well as the small and small Yugu."

"I agree to this proposal."

"Also, when Dangxiang returns, he will re-design the various banished states. It turns out that they are under the jurisdiction of Songzhou, but once the war begins, Qinghai will still be the main battlefield, which will be inconvenient. Therefore, I think it is better to be under the jurisdiction of Jaohe Xinzhou Prefecture. The prince is in Qinghai, which can make these Qiang people look at their hearts."

"I've approved this."

"There is another thing. If I am not mistaken, when August comes, the treasury crisis in the court will be partially alleviated."

"Yes, everyone knows this matter, no need to mention it." Li Zhi said with a smile. The historian was about to record it, but after thinking about it, the pen stopped.

Li Zhi said again: "Then there is no objection, I will declare this good news to the world."

"No more," the emperor would no longer be intrigued by the emperor, and they retreated one by one.

Li Zhi said again: "Empress, take this good news to the East Palace and make the East Palace happy too."

"I'm following the order." Wu Zetian gave a gift, stepped down, and brought Li Shoucheng to the East Palace. It's been a long time since he saw the daughters-in-law of the East Palace. Since he had formed a tacit understanding with his son, these women will also consider it in the future. By the way, observe it.

No one dared to neglect it. He looked at it with his eyes. Although the women had some small grudges, they got along well in general, and they were mixed with feelings. They said, "You have gone to Qinghai. I am busy with state affairs and neglected to ask about it."

"The Queen of Heaven is a blessing for the country," Pei Yuhe said in a silence.

I am still very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. I am not the reason for being the queen, but I am cautious and will not become a stumbling block in the future. I also said: "Your *** has not recovered. This is what I should do. How is Honger's health?"

"Thanks to the care of the Queen, the palace is in good health. But I was frozen last year and had many scars on my body."

"I know that because the country's expenditure is huge, I am preparing to breathe and make some compensation to the sacrificed soldiers. What else?"

"Qinghai is high, I went to Qinghai and have been sick all the time."

"Where is the scenery beautiful?"

"It's very beautiful. The sky is low and the clouds are white, the mountains are green and the water is green, and even the Mount Zhongnan is not as good as that."

"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to watch."

Li Shoucheng wanted to shake his head. It was already amazing that a prince went to Qinghai. You and the queen went to Qinghai again, which one would be considered as the disciple.

Pei Yuhe said warmly: "Grand Queen, it's best not to go. Although the scenery is good, the air and miasma are really great. I heard from Your Highness that the scenery in Zishankou is better in spring and summer. Almost all over the mountains and wilderness are like a garden, red flowers, purple flowers, and blue flowers. But when you arrive at Zishan, the air and miasma are heavier. Ordinary people suddenly go up and feel difficult to inhale."

"If this is not the case, how could our dynasty allow these tyrants to be rampant? I will bring you a good news from Qinghai. Li Shoucheng will bring the good news from you."

After several women finished reading, Pei Yuhe said, "It's great, Qinghai is pacified, your highness will not take long to return to the capital, right?"

This question made Meng Lang feel so easy to go back to the capital? Li Shoucheng lifted the siege and said, "Crown Princess, although Qinghai is temporarily victorious, Tubo will not be willing to give up. There may be a battle in the future. Besides, according to Your Highness's plan, it is the beginning to enclose the Dangxiang people in our dynasty. Bailan Qiang has not yet been conquered. Only by building a city at Zishankou can Tubo be in real crisis. But except for Your Highness, other ministers are not at ease to appoint them."

"That's how it is," Pei Yuhe looked disappointed.

Di Hui did not make a statement, but it was not. The generals of Qinghai and the prince had repeatedly said that in terms of military talent, Heichi Changzhi and Pei Xingjian could take on the main responsibilities. It was not a problem with the battle situation in Qinghai, but the thoughts of these two emperors. They did not allow the prince to come back, and the prince himself would come back, but at this time, before leaving, the prince also talked about this matter with him. Do you really wait until Tubo collapses? Such a big country has not been in ten or twenty years, and there will be no mistakes, otherwise it will not collapse. Can the prince wait for ten or twenty years?

Pei Yuhe asked again: "When I was in Qinghai, I asked Eunuch Li to plead with the Queen of Heaven and let Ye Ci Mingyue enter the East Palace. This time, Dangxiang people made great contributions. I wonder if the Queen of Heaven can be approved?"

"What kind of party? What kind of wild resignation to the bright moon?" Wu Zetian was also confused.

Li Shoucheng was very embarrassed and said, "It's right. In order to win over the people of Dangxiang, His Highness the Crown Prince once promised to take in a Dangxiang girl named Ye Ci Mingyue, and promised her to enter the Eastern Palace to be a concubine. He also promised some other benefits. Therefore, this time, Dangxiang ignored the pressure of Tubo and all his clans rebelled, allowing our dynasty to win a successful victory in Qinghai. It was a temporary solution at that time, and His Highness didn't know how to speak to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, and dragged it all over the place. It was not until I went to Qinghai that I begged the Princess to ask the Queen of Heaven for mercy. But I was not very easy to speak."

"Absurd, absurd," Wu Zetian scolded.

Although it was a temporary measure, how could a dignified prince take a woman from Dangxiang as his concubine? He also said: "Do you know, how much controversy will this matter cause if it spreads?"
