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

Chapter 1293 The Emperor’s Strangeness

Li Xuan walked into the Zichen Hall with a solemn expression. Li Zhi was the only one in the hall who was reviewing the memorial.

Li Xuan immediately held up his hands and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am the military commander of Luoxue Road, the governor of Changzhou, the governor of Changzhou, and Wang Xuan of Nanchang. I pay my respects to your majesty. May your majesty live forever."

"Get back on your feet." Li Zhi put down the gold pen in his hand, looked up at Li Xuan, and asked, "Have you met the prince yet?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed and said, "Although His Highness is becoming more and more mature, I am still a little worried, so I said a few more words."

"It's just a few words." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan with some humor, shook his head helplessly, and said: "With those few words of yours, I'm afraid nothing will happen to the East Palace for a whole year."

"Your Majesty is joking. With Xue Xiang and Yao Zhan here, the overall situation in the East Palace will not be chaotic. And with Su Sima, Cheng Sheren and Tian Xima running around below, everything in the East Palace will naturally go smoothly." Li Xuan was very serious. hand over.

"Okay, no need to say these clichés." Li Zhi waved his hand slightly, looked at Li Xuan and said: "You also know that after the Tubo incident is decided this year, you will be transferred from Changzhou. As for the next governor of Changzhou, Changzhou Governor, do you have any recommendations? I can consider him."

"Yes." Li Xuan bowed and said seriously: "I have thought about it a lot and always felt that General Hei Te Changzhi, the right-leading army guard, is the most suitable candidate. In the future, if I am transferred from Tubo, I will be uneasy even if I make some mistakes. , you can also directly adjust Hei Te Chang Zhi to enter Tubo to suppress uneasiness."

"Hei Te Changzhi." Li Zhi frowned and asked: "In that case, why not leave Hei Te Changzhi in Tubo, and when you leave, let him take over your position directly. Wouldn't it be better? "

Li Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief, then she looked at Li Zhi uncertainly and said, "Your Majesty, can General Black Teeth really take over the position of the minister in Tubo?"

"What are you..." Li Zhi frowned and asked: "Why can't Hei Te Changzhi take over your position, but must go after you are transferred and have an accident? Who else could it be if it weren't for him? "

"I'm confused." Li Xuan didn't know why she was very happy. She raised her hands to Li Zhi and said, "I'll leave everything to your Majesty's arrangement."

"That's good." Li Zhi smiled and lowered his head slightly, but at this moment, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, who was targeting Tubo.

In an instant, Li Zhi's expression became solemn and he said seriously: "After Tubo is conquered this year, I will transfer Wang Dezhen back. At that time, Hei Te Changzhi will take over as the deputy general manager of Luoche Road March and be your deputy."

"I accept the decree." Li Xuan bowed her hands solemnly and said gratefully: "I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness."

"As for the post of Governor of Changzhou and the governor of Changzhou, I will appoint Duke Yan as the Governor of Changzhou, and his entire group will move there. Zhang Da'an will be your Luoche Road general manager, Chief Shi, and others Xing Wenwei, Cheng Chuzheng, etc. Everyone will be transferred there." Li Zhi arranged the matter in a few words.

"I thank your Majesty for your grace." Li Xuan handed over his hand again, and then asked carefully: "What about Duke Langya and Shaofu Wei?"

"I have carefully read the arrangement of five upper states, two middle states, three lower states, and five upper states and ten lower states that you submitted last time. I have some insights. However, I still need to discuss it with the officials again, but basically, these two people Each of them will be appointed governor of one state, and the rest will be transferred from other places." Li Zhi raised his head slightly, having already made his decision.

"I accept the decree." Li Xuan bowed solemnly.

……

"That's it, Twenty-seventh Lang." Li Zhi leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Xuan and said, "I don't care about other things, but by October this year, Luoche must be captured, even if you burn it to the ground Ashes, even if the Tubo king, queen, and the entire Luoche people were buried, the entire Luoche war must be ended this year."

Li Xuan bowed seriously and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. With your words, the ministers will definitely win this year. By the end of the year, your Majesty will see either Tridu Songtsen himself or his ashes. No There will be no surprises.”

"Very good." Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed and said: "You should know how much pressure these wars have put on me and the DPRK... Look at the queen, a cold wind at the end of last year was just right, and this year due to hard work... Feeling a little sick again."

Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Everything is my fault. If I hadn't been seeking safety, I would have already attacked Luoshe City at the end of last year."

"It's none of your business." Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "Relax and relax is the way to use troops. Don't be too hasty, and don't be too hasty. You have mastered this very well.

Although the court is somewhat depleted, being able to mobilize troops when there is food in the court, withdraw troops when there is no food, and defend firmly without being taken advantage of by the enemy is the style of a general, and it will save me a few headaches. "

"Your Majesty." Li Xuan raised his head slightly, looked at Li Zhi seriously and said: "The Tubo royal family stretches across the north and south, from Tianzhu to the Western Regions. Over the years, I don't know how many medicinal materials have been collected. After I get the logic, I will definitely search for it, and I will definitely be able to find it. Finding the medicinal materials that can help His Majesty recover will definitely bring His Majesty happiness and longevity."

"Okay, okay." Li Zhi waved his hands with a smile, looked at Li Xuan and said with emotion: "I know that you are willing to give everything for my affairs, right?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed seriously, and then said firmly: "If your majesty can live forever, I will not hesitate to be broken into pieces."

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head, his expression full of comfort: "I will leave the frontline matters to you. You don't have to worry at home in Chang'an. I'm here, some The human mind will not succeed.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Li Xuan bowed deeply again, and then stood up with a somewhat hesitant look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi was a little surprised, and then said, "If you have anything to do, just say it."

"Yes!" Li Xuan raised her head carefully, looked at Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, although I have only been back in Beijing for a month, after observation, I found that there does not seem to be much rain or snow this winter."

"Huh?" Li Zhi's face immediately became serious. He knew that Li Xuan had always been very knowledgeable about the weather.

Not only Li Xuan, but also Pei Xingjian, former military generals, have always been very sensitive to weather matters.
"You continue." Li Zhi looked to the side. Behind the curtain, someone had already started recording.

Li Xuan cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, according to common sense, less rain and snow in winter does not necessarily mean that there will be a drought next year. However, if there is less rain and snow in winter, there will not be much snow on the tops of high mountains everywhere. In the coming year, there will be less snow. There won’t be many mountain springs formed by the melted snow. If the mountain springs gather into rivers, they will naturally affect the amount of water in the rivers..."

"No need to say it, I understand." Li Zhi nodded directly, looked to the side and said: "Pass an order to the Ministry of Industry, the General Supervisor, the Taishi Bureau, and the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay close attention to the weather and hydrology this year. If there is any sign of drought, , immediately ordered the governors of each state to build waterways and conserve water sources to ensure that there will be no problems with spring planting and autumn harvest this year."

"Here!" A scholar stood up immediately, bowed slightly, and then left quickly.

Li Zhi then turned to look at Li Xuan and asked curiously: "So this is how you observed the weather in front of the army?"

"Yes." Li Xuan bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the principles of Taoism, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to infinity. The root of all things in the world is Qi, but rain and snow Rivers are full of water, and the water condenses into ice and snow in winter, and turns into water in summer. If there is less ice and snow in winter, there will naturally be less rain in summer."

Li Xuan stopped talking here. There were naturally omitted parts in his words, and even the omitted parts were the key. The principle of Taoism has always been not to look at what is said in the book, but to look at what is not said.

Although the entire "Laozi" seems very smooth, if one or two sentences are added in the middle, it will have a completely different meaning.

Whoever can understand the unwritten one or two sentences can truly understand "Laozi".

What Confucianism is best at is tampering with ancient books, but what Taoism is best at is hiding.

The true truth of heaven and earth cannot be easily known to others.

Everything in the world is like this. If you encounter something that your cognition cannot understand, either you know that there are many things in it that have been tampered with, or the really useful things have been hidden from the beginning.

……

"I understand a little bit." Li Zhi looked up at Li Xuan and said, "I can rest assured about other things. If there is really a drought this year, then the immigrants in Changzhou..."

"Your Majesty." Li Xuan held up his hands and said seriously: "Last year, I also bothered to immigrate a lot, but it is not difficult to immigrate from Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and Supi to Tubo. It is rare to immigrate from Tyuhun to Dangxiang. People would rather go there. Tubo is not willing to stay in Dangxiang, which means there is finally an empty separation zone. If this continues for a long time, the Changzhou Governor's Office may be moved down."

Li Zhi was slightly stunned and said: "In this case, if it is impossible to control all the Dangxiang areas, why does the Changzhou Governor's Office still need to exist?"

"I am also worried about this." Li Xuan once again raised her hand with a solemn expression.

"I know." Li Zhi raised his head, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should set off."

"Here!" Li Xuan knelt down and bowed to the ground seriously, and then said in a deep voice: "I, Wang Xuan of Nanchang, bid farewell to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a long life and good health, and may your Majesty live forever."

"Pay more attention when you are on the front line. I will count on your help in the future." Li Zhi smiled gently, and then raised his hand slightly.

"I excuse myself." Li Xuan stood up and then slowly exited the Zichen Palace.

Li Zhi watched Li Xuan leave, and then his face couldn't help but darken. He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Fulai on one side, and asked: "You said that in a few years, the King of Nanchang will leave Tubo. If there is no need His teeth are always black, who else can he use?”

……

Li Xuan calmly walked out of Danfeng Gate, took the reins from Li Zhu's hand, then got on the horse and headed towards Zhuque Gate.

Riding on the horse, Li Xuan calmly recalled every sentence and word he said to the emperor.

He had a feeling that the emperor's words today revealed too much information.

After entering Yanxi's door, his vision suddenly dimmed. At this moment, a note was thrust into Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and in a blink of an eye, he had pressed the note into the war horse's secret chamber.

Walking all the way through Tianjie, we came to the outside of Zhuque Gate, where a large black paper stood high.

Hundreds of soldiers in black clothes and armor, as well as many officials from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Affairs, Taipu Temple, and Dali Temple, were already lined up in order.

"Let's go." Li Xuan nodded calmly, and the people had already taken the lead. Yang Zhirou immediately led the others to follow closely.

The group went straight out of Xicheng. After seeing off their relatives and friends, they arrived at the Weishui River. Half of them rode horses and the other half took boats, and then slowly headed west.

……

It was dark at night, and when the boat arrived in Tianshui, Li Xuan finally took out the note.

There are only two words on it: Shangxi.

No, looking at the distance between the two words, Li Xuan immediately understood that this was the meaning of happiness.

Being so cautious is naturally not the emperor's great joy, so what is it?

The starry sky above his head was bright, and everything that happened in Chang'an during this period appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and the four words became clear in an instant.

Your Majesty, I'm so happy.

Princess Taiping, congratulations.

Li Xuan's expression suddenly darkened.

Taiping, Taiping, Taiping Fuchang, Fuchang Taiping.

Chongxi, Chongxi.

Good luck and luck.
