Great Tang princess

Chapter 24
Li Yuechen didn't know how Li Zhi and his wife discussed with the ministers. Two days later, the imperial edict was issued: Xue Rengui was ordered to be the general manager of the Luosuo Road march, the right guard and the general Ashina Daozhen, and the left guard general Guo Daifeng was the deputy. Send [-] troops to point at Tubo!

In order to become more famous as a teacher, this time he played the banner of helping Tuyuhun to restore the country. After Tubo surrendered again, he sent Tuyuhun king Murong Nuohebo back.

Li Yuechen has been reading a lot of national history, and he is quite familiar with this buddy's deeds.

In the fifth year of Xianqing, that is, five years before Li Yuechen was born, Tubo invaded Tuyuhun on a large scale.

King Murong Nuohebo of Tuyuhun fled to Liangzhou with his wife Princess Honghua and thousands of people, and asked Datang for help.

At that time, Li Zhi ordered Zheng Rentai and Su Dingfang to gather troops in Liangzhou to protect the remnants of Tuyuhun in preparation for war.

However, Li Zhi did not take the initiative to attack Tubo at that time, but sent an envoy to strongly condemn Lu Dongzan's invasion of other countries' territories!

At that time, what Li Zhi thought was that if he dared to kill the envoy or invade the Tang Dynasty, he would beat him directly, and he would be famous as a teacher.

However, Lu Dongzan, this old boy is very smart. Not only was he polite to the special envoy, but he also sent a special envoy to the Tang Dynasty to express strong condemnation of Tuyuhun's behavior of fighting between the two countries and making trouble for the Tang Dynasty!
The two sides did not fight, and just like that, the land of Tuyuhun was annexed by Tubo.

In fact, last year, many ministers announced that they would send troops to Tubo to help Tuyuhun take back his homeland.

However, Yan Liben made a statement, vetoing the dispatch of troops on the grounds that he was unable to undertake military operations due to severe drought and poor harvests.

In the end, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's order to let the Tuyuhun people move to Qilian Mountains was not implemented.

Li Yuechen didn't know whether it would be good or bad if such an order was carried out in this era, but she knew that Qilian Mountain would be a good place in the future.

If it can be developed well in this era, it can have a great positive impact on Datang's economy.

But it is impossible for her to talk to Li Zhi and his wife about this kind of suggestion now.

Firstly, she didn't know whether Qilian Mountain in this era is the same as the future, and secondly, it's still the same sentence, as a child, it's better not to get involved in such things.

Although it is said that because Wu Zetian has not yet come to power, the royal family is not too strict on women or other people talking about government affairs, but it is better not to arouse suspicion as much as possible.

After all, what happened to Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty is still vivid in my mind...

Li Zhi's order was quickly issued and quickly executed.

But at this time, no one could tell whether the order was made by Li Zhi or Wu Zetian.

The couple stayed in the Yanying Hall all day long, and they didn't leave the gate. Who knew what was going on.

However, Li Yuechen still prefers to be chosen by his wife Wu Zetian, because now Li Zhi is really in poor health, can't read clearly, and basically plays ball in the palace every day.

It is worth mentioning that the folding chair made by Li Yuechen was very popular with the couple. Now the Yanying Hall has been replaced with this kind of chair and has a higher desk. I don't know if it can improve the efficiency of reviewing memorials.

In fact, this is also what Li Yuechen likes about the Tang Dynasty, that is, the policy of openness and tolerance.

If there is a good one, use it.

Now on the streets of Chang'an City, Han people will not be scolded even if they walk on the street wearing Hufu, which is considered a fashion.

Moreover, there is no distinction between ethnicity and employment, and many ministers in the court are not Han Chinese.

There is another interesting thing about this.

Now the eldest son of the Turkic chieftain is serving as a hostage in the Tang Dynasty. When the New Year just passed this year, Li Zhi issued an edict to let him go to the East Palace to serve as Li Hong's attendant.

At that time, all the ministers had no objections, only Xu Qidan from Xitaishe stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you are going too far! The prince should be accompanied by people with good literature. How can we let people from Rongdi and border barbarians serve as servants?"

Li Zhi didn't bother to argue with him because of this trivial matter, otherwise he would inevitably be criticized by the censor again, so he waved his hand and agreed.

Then Xu Qidan said, "Changsun Wuji is your Majesty's foreign family, so you shouldn't destroy his family's ancestral grave just because of the mistakes made by your descendants, right?"

The reason for this is that there were many official tomb destructions in the Tang Dynasty. After all, Changsun Wuji was convicted of treason.

Regardless of whether he really committed treason or not, at least that's what the charge says.

In the Tang Dynasty, in the face of these crimes, officials often ordered the destruction of their ancestral tombs as a means of punishment.

So when Changsun Wuji rebelled against him, the family's ancestral grave was also destroyed.

His suggestion was finally adopted by Li Zhi, and he ordered the restoration of his ancestral grave.

I have to say that Li Yuechen likes this very much.

As a person from a civilized society, she really couldn't accept the immoral thing of digging up people's ancestors' graves.

Originally, what she thought was that when she grew up, she would find an opportunity to tell Li Zhi to abolish this practice. Now that someone has said it, it would be great.

Li Yuechen, who has nothing to do, is now writing Journey to the West for the rest of the time, except for the unshakable practice.

Now I have written to Pansidong, and there is still some time before I finish writing.

Li Zhi and his wife have become the most loyal readers. Every time a new chapter is updated, Zhang Chengxin is the first to come and get it, and they are completely hooked.

This made Li Yuechen feel comfortable, as long as he made the two of them happy, he would be very comfortable.

But within two days of being comfortable, something happened again.

Xue Rengui, the Protectorate of Anton, was transferred away because of the issue of Tubo.Many people in Goryeo were originally dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and took advantage of this opportunity to break out a rebellion.

Jian Mucen supported Anshun, the grandson of the former King of Koryo, as king, and raised his troops to rebel.

This is what Li Yuechen heard from Eunuch Fu.

In this era, as long as there are no secret government affairs, the news of the servants in the palace is often the most well-informed.

Li Yuechen was a little worried at the beginning. In this way, Tang Jun would face the situation of fighting on both sides.

But then he shook his head. Many people in Koryo had already been relocated to the interior, and the rest of them would not be able to cause any disturbances, at most it would be a little troublesome.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen shook his head and continued to write his own Journey to the West.

Seeing her continue to write, Shangguan Wan'er, who rested her chin on the desk, couldn't help asking, "Is your Highness not worried?"

"What is there to worry about? At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, powerful enemies looked around, but now they all surrender. If you want to worry, you should also worry about them!" Li Yuechen smiled calmly, and shook the hair hanging in front of him by the way.

Hearing her words, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Eunuch Fu next to him.

Shangguan Wan'er beside the table blinked her big eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Yuechen finally finished writing Pansidong.

After getting up in the morning, I took Shangguan Wan'er and her two older sisters to finish the yoga practice. After eating something casually, I asked Mrs. Zheng to copy it down, and went to the yard to practice by myself.

After eating at noon, I went to find Li Zhi and Wu Zetian with the latest chapter that I had transcribed.

As a result, when I came to the Hall of Yanying, I found no one there.

Li Yuechen casually grabbed a passing court lady: "Where is my father and mother?"

"Return to Your Highness, the saint and empress are both in the Xuanzheng Hall." The maid replied with a salute.

"Haven't you come down yet?"

"Exactly."

Hearing the maid's answer, Li Yuechen was a little strange, it was past noon now, and it was not so late before going to court.

Did something big happen?
Feeling strange, Li Yuechen ran to Xuanzheng Hall, sneaked in through the back door, and then came to the side passage to listen.

Although the ministers couldn't see her, Li Zhi sitting on the dragon chair and Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain could see her.

But the couple didn't say anything about Li Yuechen sneaking into the hall, she let her listen if she wanted to.

Even in the first year of Li Yuechen's birth, Li Zhi carried her to court.

Li Zhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced slightly, and saw Li Yuechen sticking out his tongue at him, with a faint smile on his face.

The health ball in his hand also seemed to spin a little faster.

Wu Zetian behind raised his hand and made a silence gesture to her, Li Yuechen nodded to express his understanding.

"cough……"

Li Zhi cleared his throat: "I have been discussing for two days, and now that all the lovers have no objection, then let's make a decision! Gao Kan is appointed as the general manager of the Dongzhou Road, and Li Jin is the general manager of the Yanshan Road. An Shun! This time we must..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the big drum above the Danfeng Gate beating rhythmically.

Both Li Zhi and the ministers in the court subconsciously stopped their movements and looked outside.

Li Yuechen, who was hiding behind the screen, listened carefully and found that it was the sound of drums from the military newspaper.

This kind of drumming means that there is a military report, and the door must be opened immediately, and Wuhou, who is in charge of delivering the letter, can ride his horse all the way to the bottom of Longwei Road.

If it is an urgent military situation of eight hundred miles, you can even ride a horse all the way to the gate of the main hall.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Li Zhi did not continue to speak, but waited for Marquis Wu who sent the military report to come.

"Report-"

A Marquis Wu with two long feathers stuck in his back ran all the way to the gate of the main hall, shouting.

After handing over the weapon on his body to Qianniuwei at the door, he showed his token and ran all the way into the hall.

Arriving under Li Zhilong's chair, he panted after saluting, "Your Majesty, a letter from Zhang Peng, the left-behind lieutenant general of the Anton Governor's Mansion!"

Li Zhi stretched out his hand: "Present!"

Zhang Chengxin next to him hurried down to take it, and then handed it to Li Zhi.

Now Li Zhi's eyesight is already very poor. After opening it, he squinted his eyes and looked closely, the expression on his face changed.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty below looked curious, as did Li Hong standing in the front.

Li Yuechen, who was playing behind the screen, was watching Li Zhi's expression, trying to see something from his face.

About 2 minutes later, Li Zhi suddenly leaned back: "Hahahaha..."

The sudden laughter startled the ministers below. Li Hong suddenly raised his head, not knowing what happened.

Li Zhi smiled happily. One of the health balls was unsteady in his hand. He missed the health ball and hit the ground with a muffled "boom".

Zhang Chengxin hurried over to help pick it up and put it in his hand. After Li Zhi took it, he handed him the letter in his hand, then waved his hand, and laughed endlessly: "Read it!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Chengxin took the letter, stood beside Li Zhi, and began to chant aloud.

"Qizou Your Majesty, An Shun and Jian Mou Cen led the rebellion a few days ago! However, since Xue Gong took office, we have set up the Great Tang Sheji, raised orphans, supported the elderly, and dealt with thieves and bandits... Promote and appoint Korean talents, commend and reward People with excellent character. Therefore, there is almost no response to An Shun's rebellion! Now that the last general has led his people to trap in Anshi City, we will soon... spread the good news!"

After reading, Zhang Chengxin turned around and respectfully returned the letter in his hand.

Li Zhi waved his hand and asked him to pass it to the queen behind him.

And the ministers below were also taken aback, especially Gao Kan and Li Jinxing who had just accepted their fate looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi laughed again.

The ministers below seemed to be ignited by the laughter, and they all laughed together: "Hahahaha..."

All of a sudden, the entire Xuanzheng Palace was filled with laughter one after another, almost toppling the roof.

Li Zhi on the top couldn't stop laughing, and Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain also covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

Li Yuechen behind the screen in the side passage also wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

Unexpectedly, the subconscious suggestions at the beginning have achieved results so quickly. People in this era are too easily brainwashed, right?

But in this way, I'm afraid Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's attention will be on her again. I don't know if this is good or bad.

For a moment, Li Yuechen became a little worried.

After laughing for a long time, Li Zhi's face turned red when he smiled, and then he gradually stopped.

When the ministers below saw that the emperor had stopped, they all forcibly stopped themselves, but there were still a few who were still shaking their shoulders silently.

Li Zhi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, but there was still a smile on his face.

"My dear friends, how should we deal with this situation?"

Yan Liben took two steps outside, slightly raised the wat board in his hand: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, although this failed, we should not take it lightly, and we should send someone to serve as the guardian of Anton."

Li Zhi nodded: "Well, Mr. Xiang is right. Can anyone choose?"

"I still recommend Gao Kan, the general of Zuojianmen!" Yan Liben replied.

"Well, do all the lovers have any objections?" Li Zhi asked, scanning left and right.

It was very quiet below the court, and no one spoke this time.

Originally, Gao Kan was scheduled to go to suppress the rebellion, but now he just changed his position, and the job content has not changed, so there is nothing to argue about.

The follow-up matter was much simpler. After Li Zhi explained a few words in the court, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

Arm in arm with Wu Zetian, he came into the passage, and looked at Li Yuechen who was still standing behind the screen, with an even bigger smile on his face.

"Chen'er is indeed my lucky star!" Li Zhi reached out and touched her head.

Li Yuechen managed to squeeze out a smiling face: "Did you get credit for your child?"

"Yes!" Li Zhi made a serious expression, "It's a great contribution!"

"If I can help my parents, my son will be happy!" Li Yuechen smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, I was frantically telling myself in my heart, damn it, I will never talk nonsense in the future!

Pray well, I hope that today's ministers will not know that it has something to do with me!
