Chapter 1273 New World
It's cold in winter, and Xinghai City is east.

A group of cavalry in black clothes and armor came from the west, led by Li Xuan who looked indifferent.

When the people of Tuyuhun around saw Li Xuan's return, they immediately knelt on the ground and whispered to the Black King for protection.

When the Han people saw Li Xuan, they also took a step back, bowed and held their hands in admiration.

Go through the west gate, enter Xinghai Long Street, and go directly to the Changzhou Governor's Office.

In the main hall of the government office, Yao Yi was talking to Yang Zhirou. When they saw Li Xuan returning, they immediately stood up and greeted him with their hands raised: "Your Majesty."

"Both of you, please take a seat." Li Xuan raised her hand slightly, and a group of black-armored cavalry behind her had already entered the courtyard behind.

Yang Zhirou watched this scene cautiously. He knew in his heart that these were Li Xuan's personal soldiers. No one could say anything more, but the combat power of these people was really not weak.

"Brother Yang, why are you here today?" Li Xuan sat down and asked Yang Zhirou.

Yang Zhirou turned around, cupped her hands towards Li Xuan and said, "Reporting to the prince, I have been staying in Xinghai for two days. I don't know when we will continue our journey?"

Li Xuan gently knocked on the table, and the table made a crisp sound. He slowly said: "Brother Yang should understand that I am waiting here just to wait for news from Tubo. If things go well, then There will be news in the next two days; if things go wrong, there is no need to mention it; I am most worried that they will join forces again and again."

Yang Zhirou's eyes twitched and he quickly handed over his hand: "Does the Marshal have any thoughts of returning to Naqu?"

"If Naqu fights again, I will naturally consider going back." Li Xuan waved her hands with a heavy expression.

Yao Yi stood aside and cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates heard what Yang Yushi said about Tubo. The methods used by the prince were extremely clever, pointed directly to people's hearts, and matched the overall situation of the battlefield. There should be no repetitions."

"Ingenious?" Li Xuan suddenly smiled bitterly, put his right hand on the table, shook his head, and said: "When I played that song, I still felt that it had some touching feelings, but after returning to Changzhou, I tasted it carefully. But it still feels inadequate, and the methods may be more complete.”

Yang Zhirou looked surprised and asked, "What does the commander feel is lacking?"

"The Gar family has not done enough." Li Xuan raised her head, looked at the rare warm sunshine outside in winter, and sighed: "If more operations can be done within the Gar family, let them intensify the conflicts with the Tubo royal family, or He said, let them kill one or two more people from the Tubo royal family, maybe..."

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much." Yao Yi interrupted Li Xuan, shook his head and said: "It's too much, and what Your Majesty did was just right. As for the conflicts between the Gar family and other families, Qin Ling has already done enough when he was there. , No one will want to see such a family that kills wantonly, if there is a chance..."

Yao Yi raised his head and looked at Li Xuan, as if to say, Li Xuan just gave them a chance now.

"Okay, let's not think too much about it. Anyway, Wang Shilang and Duke Langya are in front of the army, so there is no need to worry about anything." Li Xuan looked up at Yang Zhirou and said, "Brother Yang, if nothing happens these days, You might as well go for a walk in Qugou, it’s much more lively than Xinghai.”

"Okay." Yang Zhirou nodded and said easily, "Xia Guan is just going to visit the most prosperous place in Changzhou."

Yang Zhirou knew that Li Xuan had suggested to the DPRK that the governor's office of Changzhou should be placed in Qugou, but the DPRK rejected it and settled the administrative office of Changzhou in Xinghai.

Today, relying on several salt lakes to the west and the jade from Tuyuhun in the west, Qugou is now the most prosperous place in Changzhou.

All business travelers going back and forth have to rest and relax there. On the contrary, apart from those going straight to Shuzhong and Jiangnan, there are far fewer people going to Xinghai.

Especially now that it’s winter, the rivers freeze, making it impossible to move forward in many places.

……

"Sit down!" Li Xuan extended her hand to invite the two of them to sit down. Seeing that Yang Zhirou had no intention of leaving, she looked directly at Yao Yi and said, "This year there will be a bumper harvest in Changzhou, and the spring planting in Changzhou will continue next year. In addition, those who do not have The acres owned by the big families that pay taxes must be curbed. If anyone is dissatisfied, next year my uncle will take some serious action."

"Here." Yao Yi cupped his hands and looked solemn.

"Is there also a big family occupying acres of land in Changzhou?" Yang Zhirou asked curiously.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "It was okay in the past few years. Changzhou had just been opened up, and there were not many big families interested in coming here. I even had to beg them to come, but even so, I have already accepted the request. There are only a few of them, but today, Changzhou is getting richer and richer, and naturally there are people eyeing the delicious food, plus I am not around all year round..."

"Then why next year?" Yang Zhirou asked subconsciously.

"Because it's time for us to be transferred away." Li Xuan turned to look at Yao Yi, shook his head, and said, "I can't stay, and Uncle Shi is afraid that he won't be able to stay, so he didn't care, so he took some serious measures. It can be regarded as clearing up some hidden dangers for the next governor."

"Your Majesty is wise." Yang Zhirou stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xuan.

"Brother Yang, please take a seat." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Originally, I hoped that Uncle Yao Shi could take over as the governor of Changzhou, but your Majesty has other important uses for him."

"Oh?" Yang Zhirou asked in surprise, "Where will Brother Yao go?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say that His Majesty acted so arbitrarily and unconstrainedly." Yao Yi shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Oh!" Yang Zhirou responded softly. He didn't believe what Yao Yi said. He should have some guesses in his heart.

But before the official results come out, it's best for no one to say anything about this kind of thing.

"So who does the commander-in-chief think will be the next governor of Changzhou?" Yang Zhirou asked curiously.

"I will recommend General Hei Te Changzhi, the right-leading army guard, so that after I am transferred from Tubo in the future, Hei Te Changzhi can take over my post in Tubo. In this way, the situation in Tubo will be stable and there will no longer be the same situation as before. Help the trouble." Yang Zhirou was immediately frightened by Li Xuan's words.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, Silla, who originally helped the Tang Dynasty to destroy Baekje, stood up and attacked the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty now retreated to the north of the Datong River. The situation in Tubo seems to be going well now. Even if the King of Nanchang fails this time, when the weather warms up next year and the power of the navy explodes, they can still successfully capture the territory, and then use the waterways to clean up the counties on both sides of the strait and rule most of them. There is no problem within the territory.

But there will definitely be remnants of Tubo's forces fleeing into the mountains. Tubo has ancient Xiangxiong in the west and Tianzhu in the south. It is not a necessarily stable place.

When Li Xuan is in office, these people may not have any trouble, but once Li Xuan is transferred and leaves, there is no telling what will happen.

Hei Te Changzhi takes over from Li Xuan, which is a good idea.

"No matter what, after next year, Tubo's demand for food in Changzhou will drop significantly. If we wait for another year, good times will come." Li Xuan looked at Yao Yi and smiled.

Yao Yi smiled at the same time and said: "It just so happens that I'm about to leave soon."

"Hahaha……"

……

Entering the backyard, Li Xuan's expression became solemn.

The surrounding guards have completely blocked everything inside and outside.

Pushing the door open and entering the study, Li Xuan saw Yu Ze sitting there at a glance: "Uncle, Changzhou Hucao joined the army, how did you do this year?"

Yu Ze raised his eyes and looked at Li Xuan, and said with some helplessness: "He Jizhen is hiding in Jiangnan and will not come back. I, a member of the Hucao Army, still have to take care of the affairs of my colleagues. This is not a good thing."

This year Wu Chengsi transferred his nephew Gong Siye from the position of recording affairs and joining the army in Changzhou, and Li Xuan took advantage of the situation and promoted Zhang Hongyu, the former Changzhou Hucao who joined the army, to the position of recording affairs and joining the army.

Changzhou meritorious officer Zhang Xun, who originally wanted to take up this position, was stuck in his place.

Zhang Xun, the former supervisory censor and a bachelor of Beimen, originally stared at Li Xuan with Gong Siye.

But now, Gong Siye was transferred away, leaving him alone here.

Li Xuan sat behind the desk and said seriously: "Let's get down to business."

Yu Ze's face became solemn, he cupped his hands and said: "All household registration information in Changzhou has been printed and sent to Delingha; the royal family's iron mines and iron smelting plants in West Tuyuhun have also begun to be gradually dismantled. By next year The meeting was originally sent to Tubo; the royal jade mine in west Tuyuhun was also placed under Li Gu's name, Qugou..."

Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "There is no city defense in Qugou. Although the major families in the northwest control the economy, the Tuyuhun people control the army. If something happens, it will be easy to deal with."

"Yes!" Yu Ze held up his hands and said, "Every other matter is also being dealt with, but the matter of the King in Black is probably already known to the court."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I am transferred away from Changzhou, nothing will happen. The next one can even borrow the name of the Black King." Li Xuan raised his head and said: "Everything will start in sequence next year, but once the transfer order is issued, The royal family’s caravan should not go through Xinghai, but go further around to Tubo.”

"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded, and then said: "If this is the case, then the next governor may not be able to stay in Xinghai any longer."

"It's just to make him unable to stay." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "No matter whether the next governor is a black tooth or not, we need to be more cautious."

"Yes!" Yu Ze took a deep breath and looked solemn.

"Those are the last things?" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze with squinted eyes.

Yu Ze lowered his voice and whispered: "Before joining the army, all the reports sent to Chang'an from Qamdo and Changzhou, as long as they did not go through official channels and took the convenience of going to Hezhou, all have been intercepted and killed, and the others have been sent to Qamdo The news is consistent, except for one thing that is surprising.”

"Where?" Li Xuan's expression tightened.

"Heyuan Wei Si Ma Lou Shide has a secret message sent to Chang'an, the Minister of Punishment." Yu Ze's eyes became cold.

"Lou Shide was the supervisory censor before. I didn't hear that he had any dealings with Pei Yan." Li Xuan sneered softly.

"But it's also the case, the more vigilant it is."

"This way he won't be allowed to go to Tibet next year." Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

"Then stay in Changzhou..."

The sound of rapid footsteps suddenly interrupted Yu Ze. Yu Ze immediately sat up straight and the sound stopped.

Immediately, Li Zhu stopped outside the door and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please give me a secret report. If Zan Xi died, two thousand members of the Gar family were killed."

Li Xuan couldn't help but stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and asked, "What happens next?"

"Brenzan Blade retreated to Dangxiong, and Zampo Mansong Manzan appointed Brenzan Blade as the new prime minister, but Brenzan Blade stayed at Dangxiong. He sent a message asking the king to ask for a canonization letter from His Majesty. Edict." Li Zhu looked at Li Xuan solemnly and handed over the secret memorial.

Li Xuan slowly stretched out her hand to take the secret memorial, with a faint look in her eyes, and said softly: "You said he came to His Majesty to ask for the canonization, do you want to tell Mr. Lu?"

Yu Ze and Li Zhu suddenly looked horrified.
