Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 476 Dongyue Has Another Son

The officials of the Tang Dynasty were immersed in the joy of the harvest, while the Turkic people lived in great pain.

In order to strengthen the control over the tribes, Jieli compelled them to make offerings, which made life even more difficult for the tribes in the grassland who were originally struggling.

Xieli was well aware of the actual situation of the Turks, but he had to do so.Because news came from the Wuyuan area not long ago that Tang Qi went out and attacked the Turkic stronghold. The tribes that belonged to Aosheshe and Yusheshe had all been wiped out.

It made him uneasy.

He knew very well that the Tang Dynasty had already dominated the vast land south of the Great Wall, as long as they were allowed to recuperate for two or three years, they would definitely become a nightmare for the Turks in the future.

He must give it a fatal blow before the Tang Dynasty has recovered!
Therefore, under the advantage of Xieli's powerful military force, the resentful tribes in the grassland had to submit to the magic power of the Ashina family.

Li Zhiyun learned the news about the grassland one by one through the secret workers sent to the grassland.

One year!
Give him another year, and he will definitely make the Turks come and go!

Now that everything in Datang is on the right track, and the money and food are gradually full, give him another year to arm the three armies and horses, and he will be able to go out of the fortress!

For this reason, he sent someone to hurry up and send a letter to Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Youzhou.

Ji County.

"His Royal Highness said that the task is urgent, and General Duan must implement it as soon as possible."

Duan Zhixuan closed the letter, nodded and said: "I would like to ask the envoy to reply to His Highness, Duan Zhixuan will definitely not let him down."

The messenger nodded, bowed and stepped back.

Immediately, Wan Xuandao asked, "What instructions does His Royal Highness have?"

Duan Zhixuan said: "Your Highness said that we should properly contact Shibobi and use him to keep Xieli in check."

"But as far as I know, Shibobi hates His Highness the Crown Prince to the bone, so why would he cooperate with us?" Wan Xuandao frowned.

During these days, he also dealt with the Turkic people less often.Once Shibobi personally led troops to plunder Youzhou, and they ran into him on the spot.

The two sides fought fiercely, and in the end Shi Bobi scolded Li Zhiyun for not keeping his promise.It was also at that time that Wan Xuandao found out about His Highness the Crown Prince's tricks.

Duan Zhixuan said hesitantly: "We don't cooperate with him, but we can find someone to cooperate with him."

"Who?"

"Merchant."

The prairie is windy and snowy.

Zhao Laosi escorted a batch of supplies into the territory of the Xi clan.

A group of people rushed towards them, and the leader was the association rate and desire valley set up.

"Youzhou is under martial law, you can still come out, it seems that the people above you have a lot of status." The leader of the association looked at his old friend and said with a smile.

Zhao Laosi took a sniff and said, "Money can make ghosts grind, and small tricks are nothing."

"What good things did you bring this time?"

"Soap, salt, tea, and silk are all available. In addition, we also got [-] shi of grain. Do you have the courage to eat it?" Zhao Laosi wrapped his clothes.

"Twenty thousand stones?" The association was moved, and he asked, "Can you ship it out?"

"Yes." Zhao Laosi said: "However, the superior said that he wants to settle the war horse."

"War horse?" Yugu said, "No."

Fourth Zhao shrugged, "Then I can't do anything about it. What the higher-ups mean is that without horses, he can't get out. Anyway, winter is still long, so you can think about it slowly. Let's count this batch of goods first."

The association rate nodded, "Okay, come with me."

Changan.

To support Shibobi, Li Zhiyun had expectations, but he didn't dare to have too many expectations, so in the letter to Duan Zhixuan, he said "conditional" support.

In his view, the plan to destroy Turks by splitting them is not very realistic.Because Shibobi hated him to the bone, and Shibobi didn't have much chance of winning against Xieli.

"time!"

Li Zhiyun looked at the courtyard full of frost, his face was also very gloomy.

As long as he is given another two years, no, even if he develops steadily in one year, he can kill Turks in one fell swoop.

He already has money and food, but after calculations by the temple, it is not enough to support him to launch an army of [-] to go north.

For a country-destroying war, one must be extremely well-prepared.

Food, light plate armor, soldiers, war horses, Li Zhiyun has all these conditions in his hands.

But it's not enough, he needs to save more.

Next year is a critical year, and we must find a way to delay it.

Not long after, officials from Sinong Si sent news that the planting of winter wheat was slowly advancing. Based on last year's experience, the planting area has expanded a lot this year.

This time, it is not only planted in Guanzhong, but also in Bashu, Hebei, Hedong Road and other places.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, wars broke out, the population withered, and a large number of good fields were left uncultivated, all of which were eaten by the imperial court.Therefore, the promotion of planting went smoothly.

But Li Zhiyun knew that this was only temporary.The land equalization system and the government military system have huge flaws.Now that there are fewer people in the field, it is no problem, but in a few decades, the situation will become very dangerous.

However, he can't do anything now.

It's wonderful to share a small apartment into an acre, but Li Zhiyun can't do it now.He had to endure it a little longer, and then enforce it.

If he doesn't implement the idea of ​​distributing the income to the mu, the future successors may not have the ability and courage to do this.

"His Royal Highness!"

A loud shout interrupted Li Zhiyun's thoughts.

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhen was ordered to go to inquire, not long after, Li Zhen returned and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, Pei Liangyuan gave birth to a son."

Son again?

Li Zhiyun smiled helplessly, "Everyone in the mansion will appreciate it."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

In October of the seventh year of Wude, Li Zhiyun's sixth son was born, named Chengying.

In the warm pavilion.

The princess was holding the child, and Li Zhiyun was sitting on the couch, gently stroking Pei Su'er's cheek.

"Fortunately, the fire house has been built this year, otherwise you may suffer."

Pei Su'er shook her head and said, "Fortunately, my concubine is not bitter."

Li Zhiyun smiled and asked: "What do you want, tell me, if you can do it, I will do it for you."

Pei Su'er thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't need anything."

After talking with Pei Su'er for a while, when she was sleepy, Li Zhiyun and the princess got up and left.

Walking down the corridor, the princess said, "Sister Pei is sensible."

"Ah."

Li Zhiyun was in a flat mood and didn't have much joy.He has calmed down now as sons have been born one after another.

However, happy is naturally happy.

"Mr. Pei just gave birth to a child, and she is relatively weak. You have to take good care of her for me. You know, the government has been busy recently, and I"

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun laughed at himself, "I found that since the supervision of the country, it seems that the government has been endless."

The concubine consolingly said: "Although I am a boudoir, I also know that everyone in Chang'an now praises His Highness as a good prince. Isn't this just what His Highness earned from his diligence in government affairs, and His Highness will become the Son of Heaven in the future, so he should love the people. The reason is that the people are suffering unresolved. Your Highness is busy with government affairs, so he is protecting the people."

"You are right." Li Zhiyun said: "I will continue to work hard."

Hunjun is very idle, but the world is in chaos.

If you want to be a successful king, busyness is inevitable.

"Husband, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister Pei."

"I believe you."

With the Crown Princess taking care of his back house, he was not worried.

This winter month, generally speaking, the people of the Tang Dynasty are complete.Because the imperial court didn't ask them much food, and they themselves had a good harvest.

Therefore, this winter, they can spend it safely.

And all of this was given to them by the prince in Chang'an City.

Therefore, Li Zhiyun's reputation as a virtuous person is now more and more recognized by the people.
