People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1284 Fuchang Taiping, Taiping Fuchang

On New Year's Eve, outside Danfeng Gate.

The black carriage slowly stopped, the curtains were opened, Li Xuan got out of the carriage, and then took his daughter Xia'er from Liu Jinyu's hand, and then the couple walked to the Daming Palace.

Xia'er was dressed in a red silk mink dress, with a beautiful bun and a red headband, looking very festive.

As soon as he entered the Daming Palace, Li Dan came directly to greet him from the opposite side: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang."

"I have met His Highness." Li Xuan, Liu Jinyu, and Xia'er bowed their hands to Li Dan at the same time, and then asked, "Why did Your Highness come out in person?"

Li Dan cupped his hands and said with a hint of gratitude: "Thanks to Uncle Wang and Brother Huang for what happened that day. Although my father also asked people to send a dose of medicine, Brother Huang and Uncle Wang did not forget Shiro at that time. Shiro was really grateful. "

"Your Highness is welcome." Li Xuan quickly saluted again and said seriously: "Everything is what I should do. There is no time difference."

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Silang has taken note of what Uncle Wang said."

"Your Highness, please." Li Xuan stretched out his hand, Li Dan nodded, and then walked towards Hanyuan Hall, saying at the same time: "Uncle Wang may not know that news just came from Huazhou. Hundreds of people have been infected with wind and cold in Huazhou City in the past few days. Fortunately, Chang'an Luoyang sent medicine in time, and the symptoms were stabilized."

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "The weather this winter is dry and cold, so it is easy to get sick. Fortunately, if we handle it properly, it will not cause an epidemic, otherwise we will be in trouble."

"Yes!" Li Dan nodded, his face full of joy.

Fortunately, this time the wind and cold were noticed early and the government dealt with it in time, otherwise it would have exploded and not only the people, but also the older officials in the government would have gotten sick.

Those who are weak may not survive this winter.

I won't say what happens in the future, but now, most officials in the court have to accept Li Xuan's favor.

After all, many officials themselves are young, but their parents are not necessarily young.

"No matter what happens to this kind of thing, officials from all over the country will make more preparations for the elderly during the last winter." Li Xuan spoke cautiously.

"What Uncle Wang said is absolutely true." Li Dan took a breath.

While talking, the group of people had already entered the Hanyuan Hall. There were already many royal princes, county princes, and scholars in the hall.

Li Xuan immediately brought Liu Jinyu and Xia'er forward to salute.

……

The emperor entered the palace, and all the officials congratulated him.

After three rounds of wine, we sang and danced.

Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, his eyes passing over the many clan members in the palace, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, Li Zhi's eyes fell on Li Xuan, who was clinking glasses with Li Jing, the heir apparent.

Li Zhi smiled and waved slightly to Xia'er, who was sitting in the arms of Princess Nanchang: "Master Fuchang County, come!"

Xia'er glanced at Li Xuan subconsciously. Li Xuan quickly put down the wine glass, stood up and saluted the emperor, and then sent Xia'er to the golden steps with Liu Jinyu's slightly nervous eyes.

The singing and dancing were light and the beauties were graceful, but the eyes of many people in the hall could not help but fall on Li Zhi and Xia'er in front of Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Li Jinxia, ​​Princess of Fuchang County, is here to see Your Majesty." Xia'er bowed her hands to the emperor in an unusually serious manner.

Her little grown-up behavior made even Empress Wu feel surprised and even wanted to laugh.

"Pingshen, come...come to uncle." Li Zhi stretched out his hand slightly and pulled Li Jinxia between him and Empress Wu.

Li Jinxia walked over obediently and was not too nervous.

Empress Wu's eyes fell on Li Xuan who was under the golden steps. Instead, Li Xuan was a little nervous and worried. Empress Wu suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

"Master Fuchang County, how old are you this year?" Li Zhi asked gently and kindly.

"I'm five years old now, I'll be six soon." Li Jinxia subconsciously looked back at Li Xuan, then looked at Li Zhi blankly and said, "But Aye always said that Xia'er is only four years old."

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh heartily, and even inexplicably felt that some painful places on his body no longer hurt.

Later, Li Zhi asked many more questions, but Xia'er still answered them one by one, but she always made the emperor laugh.

I don't know when, Xia'er had already snuggled up in front of the emperor, and the emperor picked up the hot dishes on the imperial table to feed her.

"Father." Princess Taiping's voice sounded from the side.

Li Zhi came to his senses and looked up to see Princess Taiping standing in front of her. Li Xian and Li Dan were standing behind with wine glasses in their hands, looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi was a little confused as to why the three of them came here together.

"Father, you didn't feed your daughter like this when she was a child." Princess Taiping looked amused, and then Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, come on." Li Zhi waved and asked Princess Taiping to nestle on his left side, then picked up a piece of vegetable and fed her a bite.

Princess Taiping smiled with satisfaction, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Li Zhi turned to look at Empress Wu and said softly: "In my life, I had a daughter like Taiping to make me happy, and now I have a niece like the Lord of Fuchang County to make me feel comfortable. Taiping Fuchang, Fuchang Taiping, Mei Niang, you say Am I praying too much?"

Empress Wu understood immediately.

The title of Lord of Fuchang County was given by Li Zhi himself back then. At that time, it happened to be the time when Li Xuan captured his colleagues and Wu Xizha, the governor of Tubo and Qingdong, was defeated and committed suicide.

When the great victory came, the emperor was delighted and made the eldest daughter of the King of Nanchang the head of Fuchang County.

Later, not long after the birth of Fuchang County Lord, news came back about the battle on the East Tuyuhun Plateau and the northwest road's victory over Tibet.

At that time, Li Zhi felt that the name Fuchang County Lord was a good one.

Later, many things happened, especially Li Xuan's repeated victories on the plateau. He even captured Fuqi City, the capital of East Tuyuhun, and the entire West Tuyuhun. He defeated Lun Qinling, captured Wuhai, Kuhai, Baihai, and even Qamdo. The emperor They all think it has something to do with the good name Fuchang County Lord.

This year, Li Xuan captured Tanggula Mountain again, captured Nagqu, killed Lun Qinling, and killed Zan Xiruo. The entire Tubo regime was in danger.

Today, an epidemic that is about to break out in Chang'an has been calmed down because of Li Xuan.

In fact, it was the emperor who benefited more, and in the emperor's heart, the owner of Fuchang County was even more blessed.

Taiping Fuchang, Fuchang Taiping.

This was the emperor's beautiful wish, and even Empress Wu was unwilling to break this beautiful wish.

Turning around, Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and asked, "King Nanchang, what kind of man do you think the Lord of Fuchang County would be best to marry in the future?"

The eyes of many clan members in the palace fell on Li Xuan. Naturally, they had the same surname, so there was no need to worry about it, but they also had maternal family and maternal family.

Li Xuan cupped her hands and said: "To report back to the Queen of Heaven, if I had not become a father, I would think it would be better to let my daughter choose in the future. But now that I have become a father, I naturally want to carefully examine the candidate for my son-in-law in the future. If you can't pass this test, I..."

Li Xuan smiled sheepishly, but Empress Wu already understood what he meant.

If you can't pass Li Xuan's test, it will be difficult even if the emperor and empress Wu come.

Of course Empress Wu knew that she could grant the marriage, but Li Xuan had enough means to make the marriage fall through.

He could do a lot for his daughter.

At this time, Empress Wu did not feel any offence. Instead, she turned to look at Li Jinxia and smiled softly.

Li Zhi interrupted at this time, nodded and said: "Twenty-seventh Lang is right, I am like this in the matter of Taiping. In the future, it will be the turn of Fuchang County Lord... Eh!"

Li Zhi suddenly froze mid-sentence, and waved his hand to signal silence in the hall.

In the silence, a voice seemed to be getting louder and louder: "...Good news, good news, good news..."

Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief. Li Xuan was also full of surprise at this time. When he noticed the emperor's gaze, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty heard it right, and I heard it too. It's good news, good news... Good news on Dingxiang Road."

"The Duke of Wenxi County has won a great victory." Li Zhi slammed the table, then looked to one side and said: "Prince, King of Nanchang, you two come to the palace gate to greet me. When the news of the New Year's victory arrives, I... I couldn’t be happier.”

"I accept the decree." Li Xuan and Li Xian cupped their hands at the same time, then strode out of the palace.

Li Zhi sat on the royal couch and looked sideways at the two little girls beside him. He suddenly felt extremely satisfied in his heart: "Peace and prosperity, peace and prosperity, I am lucky."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Many clan members in the palace stood up at the same time and congratulated in unison.

Empress Wu sat aside, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

Taiping Fuchang, Fuchang Taiping.

Could it be said that there really is such a thing as luck?

……

"...The last general was ordered by Pei Xingjian, the general manager of the march in Dingxiang Road, to report that six days ago, the army of Dingxiang Road defeated Ashina Wenfu's 50,000 cavalry in the depths of the grassland and beheaded more than 30,000; In addition, the left army of the army, General Cheng Wuting of Zuowuwei, and Dou Huaizhe, the governor of Youzhou, defeated 30,000 enemies and beheaded 10,000; the right army of the army, Duke Yan, and the right-leading Wei general Li Jinxing, defeated 20,000 enemies and beheaded 10,000, A Shi Then Fu Wen led five thousand remnants of troops to flee north... The military situation was successful, and I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live."

Although Li Zhi was extremely happy, he still realized that there was something wrong with this report.

"Ashina Wenfu's tribe, the previous army has been defeated by 100,000 enemies. How come another 100,000 troops are coming now?" Li Zhi stared straight at Qian Niuwei who had reported victory.

The Qianniu Guards raised their hands and said: "Reporting to your majesty, the Dingxiang Road was defeated not only by Ashina Wenfu's tribe, but also by Ashina Funian's tribe in the west of the original grassland. Since the previous defeat on the grassland, Ashina Wenfu's tribe was defeated. Na Wenfu fled to the north. The tribes in the grassland were afraid of the Tang army and left Ashina Wenfu one after another. However, at this time, Ashina Wenfu's troops joined Ashina Wenfu."

After a slight pause, Qian Niuwei added: "Ashna Funian is the son of the brother of the Turkic Jieli Khan."

Li Zhi immediately understood, so that was it.

Nodding, Li Zhi said: "So, after this defeat, Ashina Funian and Ashina Wenfu no longer have much strength."

"Yes." Qian Niuwei raised his hand and said, "The commander-in-chief reports that Ashina Wen Fu and Ashina Funian are now fleeing to Mobei. It may be difficult for the army to track them down."

Li Zhi was immediately speechless. This was the troublesome part of the grassland war. The grassland was vast. If Monan was defeated, he could still escape to Mobei, and even further north.

"Pass an order to the Anbei Protectorate to send troops to intercept the troops of Ashina Wen Fu and Ashina Funian, and the heads of the two thieves must be taken down." Li Zhi's eyes were solemn, and then he looked at Qianniu Guard with a smile. He said: "Okay, tonight, New Year's Eve, Aiqing will spread the word about victory and meritorious service, and he will be promoted to the third level immediately; he will spread the decree, and there will be a great victory on the grassland, and the whole city will share the great victory."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor." All the clan members in the palace stood up at the same time and bowed deeply in celebration.

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked into his arms. On the left was Princess Taiping, and on the right was the Lord of Fuchang County. Li Zhi immediately felt the power of God's protection falling on him.

"By decree, the Lord of Fuchang County, Li Jinxia, ​​is dignified, festive and peaceful, and has given a handle of Ruyi Jade, a pair of jade bracelets, and an increase of 500 households in the city."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Long live my emperor."
