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

Chapter 1427: I haven’t seen you for a year, let’s give you a meeting gift first
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Su Liangsi stood in front of the Prince's carriage and said seriously to Li Xuan: "There are royal families from all over the country, governors and governors coming. His Highness is busy in the palace and cannot come to greet the Prince at the moment, so I have to let you know." Liangsi came in place of His Highness, please forgive me."

Li Xuan cupped her hands and returned the courtesy seriously: "Brother Su, what did you say? I am also a member of the East Palace. The Crown Prince's hard work is visible to everyone. It is my fault that I cannot share your worries for His Highness... As for now, I can see Su Brother, Xuan is also extremely happy."

Su Liangsi smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Taifu said that the prince will not care about these customs, and it is indeed true."

"Haha!" Li Xuan smiled, then turned to look at the many governors and governors behind him, and said, "Now that we have arrived in Chang'an, I, the king, will receive the envoys together with Brother Su, how about it?"

"Don't dare trouble the prince!" Su Liangsi quickly handed over his hand and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness is still waiting for the prince in the East Palace, how can he delay the prince here."

"That's it." Li Xuan smiled and asked, "So, you governors, how do you arrange the East Palace?"

"You envoys, you have a home to go back to, friends to visit, and a place to stay at the east and west post stations." After a slight pause, Su Liangsi said: "As for Your Highness, Your Highness can summon up to twenty people a day, and many of them need to Waiting for more, we can only meet at lunch tomorrow."

Su Liangsi also had a wry smile on his face. Although there were three hundred states in the world, half of them were in the east and half in the west, but it was unrealistic for Li Xian to summon all the governors alone.

Not to mention, there are princes, princes, princesses, princesses, princess consorts, princess consorts, relatives of various families, heads of aristocratic families, etc.

Li Xian could only have selective interviews.

"Okay." Li Xuan handed over his hand: "I will take the first step."

He handed the war horses to the cavalry behind him and let them go towards the right guard government office, while Li Xuan went to the East Palace alone.

Even though many dignitaries have gone to Luoyang, the prosperity of Chang'an has never been reduced.

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Su Liangsi watched Li Xuan and her people leave, and then looked at Li Jinxing's car, which was coming next, and hurriedly greeted people.

"Oh?" Su Liangsi was slightly surprised. He knew that Li Xuan never did anything in vain. He must have something serious when he said that today.

Chang'an's prosperity has not diminished over time.

Although many people looked at Li Xuan, they did not have Luo Zhong's terrifying scene of half the city bowing its head.

So everyone has their own busy things.

A dozen carriages behind Li Xuan turned to Pingkangfang on the way. They will live in Fanzhou Jinzouyuan these days.

"That's fine with the others. General Li, the right leader of the army, is not in good health and has been bumpy all the way. I would like to ask Brother Su to arrange a proper accommodation and arrange for the imperial doctor to come with him to diagnose the disease, just in case something unexpected happens." Li Xuan said lowly. Give a little shout-out.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Su Liangsi bowed his hands in thanks.

Su Liangsi suddenly became solemn. The Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty only had sixteen generals at most, and there were many vacancies now.

Thinking of this, Su Liangsi cupped his hands and said, "Then Liangsi will wait for the prince's summons."

Walking calmly on the long street, the officials passing by all bowed their hands to Li Xuan and saluted.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "When everything is busy at the moment, I will discuss it in detail with Brother Su. There are some things that need to be discussed carefully."

After crossing the long street and arriving at the Zhuque Gate, Li Xuan got off his horse.

……

Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, rode along the long street, and countless people passed by on both sides of the street.

General Li Jinxing, the right-leading army general, is in poor health. No matter what happens next, it is important news now.

Even with the current war in the Western Region, there are still many foreigners in Chang'an.

More people can only wait.

Li Xuan slightly raised her hand in return, but her footsteps did not stop.

It wasn't until he entered the East Palace that the prying eyes from all around him finally stopped.

When King Peng returned to Beijing, the pressure on everyone in Chang'an was not that great.

Because the emperor was not in Chang'an, although the prince was in charge of politics, his actions were greatly restricted in all aspects.

When King Peng returned to the capital, although he was of some help to the prince, his help was definitely not as great as the emperor's, and he posed a greater threat to everyone.

Or to be more precise, it was the emperor who could really bring out the power of King Peng.

Only King Peng, who was used by the emperor, had the prestige to intimidate everyone.

In other words, the emperor who uses King Peng is the mountain that truly suppresses everyone and makes them breathless.

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze. After entering the East Palace, he just waited outside the Mingde Hall for a moment before being taken in.

……

Not seen for a year, Li Xian has grown a beard and is wearing a bright yellow Nine Python Nine Chapters round collar robe. Although he is a little thinner, he is also much more majestic.

"I am the pacifying envoy of Luoche Road, the military commander of Luoche Road, the governor of Fanzhou, the governor of Fanzhou, the general of Youwei, the prince's guest, Peng Wangxuan, please see your highness, your highness Qianqiu." Li Xuan knelt down on one knee directly on the ground. , kowtowed solemnly.

"Uncle Wang, please get up." Li Xian raised his hand slightly and said with a steady expression: "Uncle Wang, please sit down."

"Here!" Li Xuan walked to the low stool on the left side of Li Xian and sat up. Li Xian nodded, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work all the way."

"Your Highness is very polite. Everything is my duty." After a slight pause, Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and His Highness is even more charming. His hard work must be more than yours. I am very impressed."

"My father is not here, so I always have to think a lot." Li Xian smiled slightly and looked around.

There were several people standing on the left and right sides of the hall, and there was another person recording at the back. This left Li Xian speechless.

"But back to Luozie, this year Uncle Wang has worked hard in Luozhe for a year. He does not need more support from the court. Instead, he spends it on himself to support the Western Regions and stabilize the jurisdiction. In addition, 10% of the taxes and grains are paid to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Countless people inside and outside praised Uncle Wang for being wise and asked him to learn from Uncle Wang." Li Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Everything Li Xuan did would be carefully recorded and then sent back to Chang'an and handed over to Li Xian.

Of course, only Li Xian, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were qualified to see these things.

As for the other prime ministers, except for Liu Rengui who could occasionally read a few books, the others could only read official documents from Fanzhou and the central government.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at Li Xian, and said: "Everything must be done seriously. If you have the right direction and are serious, as long as you are not lazy, everything will be successful."

"Yes, I'm not lazy." Li Xian shook his head in a funny way and said, "Uncle Wang, I don't know how many memorials there are in Chang'an. Uncle Wang is harsh, disrespectful of the people, and goes against the teachings of the saints."

"You can know etiquette if you live in a warehouse, and you can know honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing. Without this, how can we talk about the teachings of saints." Li Xuan shook his head gently and said: "The elders of the prefecture and county guard the shepherd on behalf of the emperor. It is their bounden duty to suffer hardships. If not, If everyone in the world is not willing to do this, then the world is still under the rule of the emperor, and it is not a personal plaything. "

Not caring about political affairs means treating states and counties as personal playthings.

Li Xian's expression gradually calmed down, he nodded, and said: "I have learned what Uncle Wang said."

"It's good that your Highness understands that people are not saints and they can do nothing wrong. They are just selfish. If you can change it, you can change it for the better." Li Xuan saw Li Xian nodding. He smiled slightly and glanced at the left and right sides. Toneri, who kept recording on his side, had a solemn look on his face.

He served as the pacifier and military commander in Fanzhou, and there were countless jealous people in the court.

Not to mention, this year, although the overt and covert struggles between him and the Aristocratic Family were not brought to the forefront, there were undercurrents that never stopped.

He had just returned to the court today, and in a few words, he had already quietly stuffed a knife into Li Xian's hand.

I believe it won't be long before the faces of the children of the aristocratic families who heard his words will drop with gloom.

Li Xian is the next emperor. If Li Xuan thinks that some people do not handle political affairs well, they are seeking personal gain or even trying to separate the regime, and they will be in big trouble.

Moreover, what Li Xuan said may have really touched some people's different thoughts.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth curved slightly.

I haven’t seen you for a year, so let’s give you a meeting gift.

……

Li Xian's face became solemn, he glanced at the memorial on the side, and then looked at Li Xuan and said: "Now Fanzhou is responsible for part of the food and grass for the war in the Western Regions. Both the left and right guards have transferred a large number of soldiers to Tubo. I don't know how it will be responsible for the war in the Western Regions." , How can Uncle Wang be alone?"

Li Xuan's expression became serious. Looking at Li Xuan, Li Xuan asked seriously: "May I ask Your Highness, how does the DPRK make decisions regarding the Western Regions? Is it to achieve a temporary victory or to achieve long-term peace?"

"How about a temporary victory? What about long-term peace?"

"If we can win a momentary victory, with the help of Pengcheng County Duke, Anxi Protector Wang Fangyi, and the left guard Xue Guogong, and the right guard will assist, it will take about half a year to achieve a great victory. The rest is just to appease people's hearts and make them win in the next three years." I haven't dared to move for five years." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously.

Among the above-mentioned people, the one Li Xuan has the most confidence in is Wang Fangyi.

If he hadn't been the cousin of Queen Wang, the emperor wouldn't be able to use him, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things happening in the Western Regions.

Now that Wang Fangyi has been transferred to the Anxi Protectorate, it will be a matter of time to pacify the Western Regions.

But it can only last for three to five years without the intervention of powerful forces.

But now, the cannibals have invaded the Western Region, and everything is uncertain.

"What if we want long-term peace?" Li Xian looked directly at Li Xuan. What the court is discussing now is long-term peace.

"It will be difficult for a long time. In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty is too far away from the Western Regions. The further west you go, the harder it is to reach the military strength." Li Xuan sat up slightly and continued: "Therefore, if you want to turn the Western Regions into the largest territory of the Tang Dynasty, It is difficult, especially in the Hanhai Desert. It is already difficult to connect the four towns in Anxi. If we go further west..."

Li Xian nodded in agreement. Most people in the court actually had the same idea.

"Actually, there are no great talents in the Western Region. If someone like Lun Qinling were to take charge of the Western Region, he is the best at stretching the grain roads and attacking the grain roads secretly. The army would be in danger."

Li Xuan shook his head slightly. The environment in the Western Region was like this. Even he didn't have good tactics.

"Therefore, from a strategic point of view, to control the Western Regions, we should take Anxi West Town as the foundation, exile or relocate the people as a national policy, and then extend to the west. At the same time, to the west of the Western Turks, establish a country that is completely opposite to the Western Turks and at the same time to the Tang Dynasty. A friendly country, in this way, it can maintain stability for decades." Li Xuan said the strategy he had been pondering for a long time.

Li Xian nodded and said: "Uncle Wang is talking about Persia. There is a consensus between the government and the government on this point. However, it is not easy to restore Persia. The Tang Dynasty has failed more than once."

"That's because the DPRK and China are unwilling to send real talents there."

"Who?"

"How is Di Huaiying?"
