.Kong Zhengfang left the Martial Palace and it became dark.

As the cool autumn wind blew, Kong Zhengfang's body trembled. At that moment, he clearly felt that Wu Chengsi wanted to do something. If Wu Sansi hadn't pulled it for a while, he would have really become the food in the mouth of a leopard.

He told Fan Lubing that nothing was wrong, but he was still very worried that the emperor's report would be handed over to the Taihuang, and the relevant procedures would also be handed over. He would have to stay in Luoyang for several days. This was also a few dangerous days.

Therefore, another person came to mind.

There is an old man in the family, as if he has a treasure. Zheng Daoheng found Pei Xingjian, and he also thought of Pei Xingjian.

However, it was dark at this time, and the gates of the various yards were closed tightly. Of course, you could force yourself into the corner gate. However, at very high moments, it was better to be a low-key person, so you returned to the inn.

The next day, Kong Zhengfang came to Pei Mansion.

Tell the story out.

Pei Xingjian did not answer immediately. It was not that Kong Zhengfang was very awesome. One person actually left the famous scholars of the North Gate speechless, even if he had the moral advantage. For example, when it comes to Ashinagudulu and Ashide Yuanzhen, it is not bad. One is a general under Wen Bo, and the other is a poor Hu official in the Tang Dynasty.

But that's not to say, how many generals are better than the head coach, and how many talents are buried in their hands are showing their sharpness when they are thrown into the enemy camp. It cannot be said that Wen Bo and Fu Nian are waiting to die, Gu Dulu and Ya, and Zhen are also waiting to die.

For example, use filial piety to suppress the emperor.

It is also easy. When the emperor used Ming Chongyan aphrodisiac, he took the opportunity to force the Taihuang to abdicate the throne and seize the greatest righteousness in his hands. How important it is, outsiders cannot imagine. If there is no such righteousness, even if Luoyang is dangerous, Your Majesty cannot leave Luoyang and go to the Western Regions. Otherwise, once the Taihuang dies, a true or false edict can be replaced. What should Your Majesty do then? Now, the emperor has left Luoyang for ten years, and when the Taihuang dies, he will still be the emperor.

Without serious moral improper behavior, who dares to abolish him? Huo Guang and Yi Yin dare not even be alive!

At that time, His Majesty was victorious and was wronged to escape. When he came back from Jiusheng and Yisheng, the Emperor could only make concessions. However, the matter had passed and moved, and this matter was no longer a threat to the Emperor's current Emperor. Many people knew about it. As long as this article was said, His Majesty's reputation for being unfilial will be settled.

If it is to be more tactful, the empress dowager will not be angry. Even when she says this, Kong Zhengfang in front of her, she will be frightened and ask for help. The situation is different.

Didn’t all the scholars in the North Gate and literary elites see it? Some of them couldn’t get over the conscience and didn’t say it. They didn’t speak from beginning to end last night. Some knew it, but they were afraid of His Majesty’s killing and dared not say it.

Including the whole thing, it is possible that Pei Yan instigated Wu Chengbeng to do this. After all, he needed a clear name and was not convenient to come forward directly.

Thinking of this, he said, "Kongxiancheng, don't worry if you do a good job. As long as you don't deliberately offend some people, or do not act in a high-profile manner, Dongdu and his team will protect you from peace."

There is another thing that has not been said, Kong Zhengfang is just a small county. Except for Wu Chengsi's displeasure at the time, who is worth taking action and attacking this little person?

With Pei Xingjian's words, Kong Zhengfang's heart was settled. After all, he was not like Zheng Daoheng who was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang. He had a strong family background as a backing and was not afraid.

Pei Xingjian asked again: "Where is Your Majesty?"

Since Li Wei slashed out that knife, Wu Zetian and Li Wei have become very tense, and Pei Xingjian did not dare to contact Li Wei.

I don’t know if the young empress dowager of Tubo has come to Qinghai, and it’s up to me. I don’t know what the young empress dowager has come up with. I can only ask and analyze it through clues.

"Your Majesty and General Black Tooth have gone to the Western Regions."

"Go to the Western Regions?" Pei Xingjian frowned.

This is a very unreasonable approach. The Empress Dowager was so anxious that the Emperor would probably have a lifespan of his life as he was like himself. At this time, Your Majesty should stay in Qinghai, close to Dongdu, and get the news of Dongdu as quickly as possible.

Besides, in the Western Regions, Heiqi Changzhi quietly transferred 50,000 troops and secretly arrived at Shatuosi. On Qinling, he drove straight into the sky, which was to let the Tubo people enter the north of Tianshan Mountain. After passing Tianshan, Heiqi Changzhi then stopped the headache. Not only this unit, but also the reinforcements behind him, led by Wei Yuanzhong and Guo Yuanzhen, surrounded from the east road. Not only these two roads.

The most deadly journey was Li Jinxing's army.

The most elite soldiers were not placed in Khorasan, but in Tocharo, Khorasan fought so hard that Li Jinxing had no front line just to prevent Tubo from going north. This group of troops would leave the Pamirs and encircle them from the south.

On Qinling is very powerful, but looking at the differences from Qinghai, people are harmonious, and Tubo is angry and resentful in the Western Regions. It is not the pseudo-government of Tuyuhun, which is not popular with the people. This behavior is provided, and I don’t read the memorials, and I know what the Tubo people will do. The local people will not support it, and it is one of its disadvantages. The local people are very brave and it is not possible to not admit it. The high and cold environment raises a group of the most powerful races in the world. But in Qinghai, there is also the climate on the plateau, for the higher Tubo people, the environment in Qinghai is considered a paradise. But for the Tang Dynasty, it is a test. But when going to the Western Regions, Tubo has no such advantages. The second disadvantages are.

At the same time, the time for the Tubo people to attack was in autumn and approaching early winter, which seemed to be beneficial to the Tubo people, but don’t forget that the soldiers used by the Tang Dynasty this time were all northwest soldiers, and they also adapted to the cold weather. Even the longer the weather was, the more horse materials were supplied, and in winter, it was difficult to supply horse materials. The Tang Dynasty could supply nearby, but the Tubo people stayed away from their hometowns and lost the supply. The three disadvantages were.

Qinling is good at leading large-scale battles. The more people he has, the more he will be able to use them. But it is the first time he has used 50,000 people, and it is not much smaller, but for him, it is also a test. After all, he is not good at leading small-scale corps to conquer. The disadvantages are four.

Let’s look at the Tang Dynasty. There are many soldiers and generals. The number of soldiers is twice that of Tubo. If you move around and support, you can mobilize three times the soldiers. You also get a lot of money from Khurasan, and there are enough rewards to stimulate morale. As for the general, Wei Yazhong is a talent for governing the world, Guo Yuanzhen, Tang Xiuluo can be literary and military, and Heichi Changzhi and Li Jinxing are even more powerful generals. The general’s command ability was not at a disadvantage.

There is no reason to ask His Majesty to go.

Even if you go, in addition to boosting your morale, Your Majesty's military talent may not be better than Heiqi Changzhi. And if you drag it, the great cannibalism will inevitably retreat when the weather is cold. Another general Wang Fangyi, who is both civil and military, can ride a fast horse and withdraw from Khorasan to join the war.

Why go to the Western Regions?

Although His Majesty cut out with his sword, Qinghai Wuyou, so he thought of the gains and losses of that sword.

There are many benefits. Wang Guo slashed with one knife. I wonder if anyone dared to go to Qinghai to take over Heichi Changzhiquan again. Cheng Wuting dared not. After this knife, some people who waited and watched, some people who were lucky enough to get along with each other would think about it again and again when they surrendered to the Queen Mother.

Not all of them are gains and losses. Those who have turned to the empress dowager will support the empress dowager more. Pei Xingjian thought of another thing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But otherwise, the officials lost their backbone more and more.

Let’s talk about the folk comments.

The people do not support His Majesty. As a commoner, they just want to live a peaceful life. The court gradually controls the empress dowager and public opinion advocates it. They are also very popular. Some people have seized on the minor border affairs, the country's expenditure has been reduced, the people's taxes have been reduced, and the soldiers have also reduced unnecessary sacrifices to make money. It is still very popular.

There is also the tradition of China. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are parents after all. Under the pressure of the emperor, the Empress Dowager and Pei Yan govern the country more diligently and have not made any major mistakes in recent years. Natural disasters are impossible and cannot be avoided. Unless the Emperor dies, the Emperor dies. The Empress Dowager holds power and acts against the enemy. There will be public grievances.

But how is that possible? Pei Xingjian doesn't want such consequences to win the hearts of the people.

He made the plan, Duke Weizhuang raised his uncle Duan. But he couldn't think of Li Wei's intention to leave Qinghai... He knew that it was probably the young Tubo empress dowager who participated. After half a day, he smiled and said, "I have it." "Mr. Pei, what do you have?"

"Kongxiancheng, don't worry about it. Go and leave Dongdu immediately after handing over. This is not your place to stay for the time being."

"What"

Kong Zhengfang left.

Pei Xingjian kept smiling. He couldn't figure it out, and maybe the empress dowager couldn't figure it out either. That's good. But to see someone tonight, Zhu Jingze. He participated in the investigation of the Ming Chongyan case, and the empress dowager was a very revengeful person. Without reminding him, Zhu Jingze's temper would make the empress dowager angry. Killing Kong Zhengfang is not worth it, but killing Zhu Jingze is worth it.

Kong Zhengfang was handed over and went back immediately.

But the incident caused by his work did not subside.

Wu Zetian summoned several scholars from the North Gate and scolded them fiercely, very dissatisfied. But these were all candidates she personally selected, just a warning, and there was no further information. Fan Lubing found an opportunity more than ten days later and quietly told Li Zhi that night the conversation between Kong Zhengfang and everyone else.

Li Zhi looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why should I tell Lian?"

Fan Lubing's heart was filled with fifteen buckets of water. If the emperor was impulsive and told the Queen Mother today's conversation, he would die without a place to die. He replied uneasyly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am worried about the emperor. The emperor is very dangerous at this time."

He didn't know what Li Wei had. But he knew that Qinling was fierce, and that he could chew Xue Rengui's 100,000 people to the point of not even a single bone. His Majesty went to Qinghai. Although he won, he also won a miserable victory. If Tubo was a little bigger and richer, he would not know what the consequences of the war would be. Dashi was rarely noticed by people in the Central Plains, but after visiting the envoys, he already knew about the rise of some Dashi.

This rise speed exceeded the speed of the founding of the Tang Dynasty back then.

Moreover, the national strength is still expanding, and the expansion steps have not stopped.

You can imagine the fierceness of this country's army, and the Eastern Turks must be guarded against.

"I still don't understand the connection."

"Your Majesty, why is the emperor going to the Western Regions for? It's embarrassing."

It depends on how to view this matter. It can also be to avoid suspicion and go to the Western Regions. It can also be said to be to seize military power. So Li Zhi asked again: "Then why did he kill Wang Guo?"

"Your Majesty, Wang Guo and the Emperor have never been close to each other. General Cheng Wuting and General Zhang Qianxun are even more close to the Emperor. There are very few important officials in the court who are close to the Emperor. I dare to say, what if His Majesty is in heaven and His Majesty will control the government after he returns? It may be worse than the crown prince a few years ago. So I dare to say what I think today is for the great plan of the Tang Dynasty. Please think twice."

If others said it, Li Zhi might not believe it. But Fan Lubing, who was greatly favored by his wife, even said this. Li Zhi couldn't help but endured the pain in his head and began to ponder. Well, later, he felt very uneasy in his heart, so he wanted to summon the ministers to come in and discuss.

However, at this time, he discovered something.

In order to restrain his son, he cultivated his wife to take power and employ people. It seems that the balance method was very successful this time. But after just over a year, the ministers who were valued by his son did not know where they went, and all the wives were left in the court.

These ministers are not their own, but their wives!
