People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 443 Longyou Earthquake
Qin Qiong looked at the current situation in the Western Turks, and the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks Brigade continued to enter the territory of the Eastern Turks.

Facing the attack of the Tubo people in the south of the West Turks, some soldiers and horses left by the West Turks have been dealing with the Tubo people.

It seems that Tubo's relentless revenge has entered the territory of Western Turks.

However, Qin Qiong, who has been paying attention to the situation in Western Turks, can see that the goal of Western Turks is not in Tubo.

Even if Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan advanced all the way, the casualties of the Western Turks were not large.

Many places simply gave up.

Instead, [-] to [-] soldiers and horses were left to deal with Songtsan Gampo. Even if they gave up some not very important territories, it would not hurt the West Turks.

On the contrary, it is better to gather the army and plan strategies to attack the East Turks.

Taking down the fertile pastures of East Turks will benefit West Turks even more.

Moreover, the small battles with Tubo used the strategy of stealing the beam and changing the post, making friends from a distance and attacking from a distance.

Even faraway Persia has envoys from Western Turks lobbying for unity.

The entire western battlefield seemed to be spread out in front of his eyes. Qin Qiong looked at the map hanging on the wall and wondered in his heart who the expert was pointing to the Western Turks.

If the former Western Turks dared to fight at both ends like this, they might have perished long ago.

Li Yifu took down what Li Zheng said, and the contents of the letter were for Mo Mo.

Li Zheng checked it and handed it over to Li Yifu for instructions: "Let people hurry up and send it to Movo, and then we have to deal with the big counterattack that will lose our minds. The counterattack of East Turkic will be very violent."

"understood."

Li Yifu left in a hurry with the letter.

It was very hot in Chang'an in June, and Li Zheng was sitting under a tree planning to take a nap while waiting for Duhu's mutton skewers to be grilled.

Li Tai came over in a hurry and asked, "Li Zheng, will Dilong's turnaround really happen?"

"It should be."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

"Should? You have to know how many people in the court will impeach you if this does not happen."

Dumb came with some skewers of mutton, "The kebabs are already cooked."

Li Zheng took the mutton skewers and handed them to Li Tai.

Li Tai ate the mutton skewers and said, "Li Zheng, do you know? Recently, Tubo suddenly made an effort to beat the Western Turks back."

"I heard." Li Zheng was tasting Dahu's mutton kebabs. Dahu's craftsmanship has improved rapidly, and his kebab skills are getting better and better.

Li Tai whispered again: "I don't know where Tubo got the weapons of our Tang Dynasty. After having the weapons and food and grass, Songtsan Gampo took all the land back and made the Western Turks pay for their blood." pay."

Li Zheng nodded, "I think Songtsen Gampo is also a man of temperament. He did a good job. Let's fight. The more lively the fight, the better."

Li Tai continued: "Li Zheng, I heard that someone sold [-] shi of grain and grass to Tubo."

"Really?" Li Zheng took a sip of tea and then ate mutton skewers.

Li Tai said in a low voice, "You probably didn't do this."

Li Zheng smiled heartily, "What kind of words is His Royal Highness Wei Wang talking about? When did I say such things?"

Li Tai went on to say: "Western Turks' [-] troops attacked East Turks, and now the southeast and southeast sides of West Turks are in full swing. Do you think West Turks can't do it? How can there be such a war?"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe I really don't want to pass it, eh."

Looking at Li Zheng's expression, Li Tai wondered whether all these things were done by Li Zheng.

The atmosphere became quiet again, and Li Tai was also lying under the tree, looking like he wanted to take a nap, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Li Zheng, the crown prince will get married next year."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "I know."

Li Tai said again: "I'm about to become an adult too."

"and then?"

"I'm going to get married when I'm an adult."

"Ah."

"I will leave Chang'an when I become an adult."

Li Tai's voice was a little lonely.

Li Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Li Tai's expression and asked, "Leaving Chang'an?"

"That's right, the prince will go to the fiefdom when he becomes an adult."

"Isn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu always in Chang'an?"

"He has military affairs, so of course he can stay. I don't have military affairs."

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "Your father probably doesn't like his son leaving Chang'an either. How can you say that you are also a legitimate son?"

"Because I am a legitimate son, the king of Shu naturally has no worries about not being a direct son, but I am a direct son. Although I don't know what my father thinks, but once I become an adult, there will be courtiers who want me to leave Chang'an, for the sake of the people in the court. stable."

It is indeed a very taboo thing for the prince to seek the heir.

For example, His Majesty has a criminal record today.

Definitely don't want to repeat the past.

Li Shimin or even the courtiers don't want to see the change of Xuanwu Gate again.

Li Zheng said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, have you finished compiling Kuo Di Zhi?"

Li Tai looked at the leaves on the branches and said, "Soon."

Li Zheng said again: "It will take three to five years sooner."

Li Tai heard some clues.

Li Zheng yawned and said again: "Kuo Dizhi is a book that your father asked you to compile, you can't neglect it."

"That's right!" Li Tai stood up as if enlightened, "I want to compile Kuodizhi, this is what my father entrusted me to do, if I leave Chang'an, without the help of those ministers in the court, how can I compile it?" including topography."

"Then it won't matter if you take those ministers away as well."

Li Tai grinned and said, "Many classics are in the palace, and I have to proofread them frequently. The compilation of topography is not so simple."

Li Zheng said weakly: "That's true."

Li Tai nodded, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, "I'll replace all the officials who compiled the topography with my confidantes, and I can delay it as long as I want."

"What if your father intends to change someone else to compile the topography?"

Li Tai said calmly: "Do you really think this king is easy to bully?"

"Why don't His Royal Highness King Wei leave Chang'an, don't worry about it, and eat and drink with me all day long."

"Oh, you want me to go, you Li Zheng thinks beautifully."

Li Tai seems to have found hope and found a new direction in life, "I'll make some arrangements first, stay here! Stay here to compile Kuodizhi, this king is really too smart."

Seeing that Li Zheng turned over and ignored him, Li Tai took two more skewers of mutton and left leisurely.

Until late June, the war between the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks became more and more intense.

There was still no earthquake in Longyou.

Gradually, some people concluded that what Li Zheng said was a rumor, and it was a lie to confuse the public.

People kept writing memorials to the Hall of Ganlu to impeach Li Zheng.

Yu Chigong brought the [-] soldiers and horses back from the Hexi Corridor to Longyou, and was about to reach Chang'an.

Not long after arriving in the Longyou territory, the weather was calm, but suddenly the ground began to shake.

The horses neighed and ran wildly, and the marching brigade was in chaos for a while.

Even Yu Chigong turned over and fell off his horse.

Standing up in embarrassment, Yu Chigong shouted loudly: "Order the whole army not to run around!"

The earthquake did not last long, only the time of half a stick of incense.

After calming down, many people were left with lingering fears.
