Ji Tang

Chapter 227 I hope you can go to the grassland. Third update
The Marquis Mansion of Haojia and the Marquis Mansion of Jijiazhuangzi were also rebuilt according to the regulations of the imperial court.

As the owner of the fiefdom, the Hou Mansion is located on a gentle slope in the far north.From a high position, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Zhuangzi.

At this time, under Ji Song's instructions, the maid had prepared a table of meals. This was cooked by the chef of the house, and it was first-class in terms of color and taste.

The few people who were originally full of worries could not bear it when they saw such delicious food. After a gluttonous feast, they came to a double-story attic in the Hou Mansion.

This attic is built at the highest point of the Marquis Mansion, where you can have a panoramic view of the entire Zhuangzi. After a cup of tea, a few people can sit down and rest for a while.

"It's really beautiful!"

At this time, the sun was setting and the sunset was shining in the sky, and bright red clouds like fire were shining across the sky.

Dahuang, who was squatting next to Ji Song, seemed to be moved by the scenery in front of him, sobbing against the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Tsk! This dog of yours has become a spirit. Now Chang'an has received reports of missing chickens and ducks one after another, but in the end they were ignored." Li Shimin tutted.

"What does this have to do with me?" Ji Song said innocently.

Li Shimin looked at him and Dahuang with contempt and said, "You don't even think about where Chang'an is? How could I not know that such a strange thing happened?"

"If someone hadn't happened to see rhubarb a few times, they would have thought they had seen a ghost."

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said: "Not to mention, your rhubarb actually knows how to distinguish between families. He never goes to poor families, but only picks out rich families. It is really not wrong to blame him for saying that he has become a spirit."

Wei Zheng didn't say anything, but when he looked at Ji Song, his eyes were filled with contempt, as if every dog ​​has its own master, which drove Ji Song crazy.

"I told you not to go, I told you not to go, it's okay now! If someone catches you, let's see if you dare to go in the future." Ji Song grabbed Dahuang's ears and said angrily.

"Okay, keep an eye on your dog from now on. Don't let him run around, otherwise he will be caught and stewed with dog meat." Li Shimin said angrily.

Ji Song was overjoyed when he heard that it had happened, and quickly said with a playful smile: "Definitely, definitely!"

After saying that, he patted Dahuang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

What is surprising is that Dahuang stood up in person, clasped his paws together in front of Li Shimin, and made a fist gesture.

"Go away, I won't embarrass the beast!" Li Shimin's face darkened and he cursed.

"hey-hey!"

Ji Song chuckled, patted Dahuang and told him to get out of here. The emperor had already given orders, and even he, the master, had to be cowardly. Why don't you, you dog, get out of here?

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Song, motioning for him to take a look!

Ji Song was stunned, not knowing what it meant, but he still took it over.

After opening it and looking at it, his face became a little solemn.

It turned out that this was a piece of Turkic intelligence, saying that the internal division of the Turks was irreversible, and the conflict between Jieli Khan and the Little Khan was intensifying.

Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, was killed by his uncle; his uncle established himself as Quli Qibi Khan, the Marquis of Mohedu.

The people of the country were dissatisfied, and with one crossbow and one arrow, the tribe pushed the mud, which one Mohe was appointed as khan, and the mud was not allowed.

Tong Yehu's son Litele escaped from Mohe Duo's disaster and died in Kangju. Nishu stood up to meet him. He was the Yibi Bolosi Yehu Khan. He attacked Mohe Duo without stopping. Send envoys to ask for marriage.

Many tribes in the north of the Turks betrayed Jieli Khan and submitted to Xue Yantuo, and together they promoted him as khan, Yi Nan, but Yi Nan did not dare to accept him.Therefore, I hope that Datang can endorse itself. This information is very detailed and lists many internal discords among the Turks. It is very true.

But what puzzled Ji Song was, why did the emperor show this information to himself?

I have been responsible for the affairs of Sinong Temple and have nothing to do with this matter!

He looked at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, wanting an explanation, but they both avoided the topic and refused to take up the topic.

Ji Song was stunned and thought that this incident was unusual. He immediately searched in his mind for what happened in the third year of Zhenguan, hoping for some reference.

When Li Shimin and the other three saw Ji Song lost in thought, they did not disturb him. Instead, they sat down and drank tea. This was considered a test for Ji Song to see what he could discern.

Ji Song racked his brains and kept recalling. As far as he knew, in the third year of Zhenguan, except for the locust plague and famine in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, there were no major events!

In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's throne was completely secure. He began to clean up the dissidents in the court and promoted and reused famous ministers and generals of Lingyan Pavilion in later generations.

Recuperate and recuperate internally, restore national strength, reduce sentences and leniency, so that unjust prisons and wrongful convictions can be overturned.There is nothing wrong with doing light corvee and paying little tax, and resting for the people!

Although it has its own intrusions, the situation in Guanzhong has been greatly improved compared to history.

In particular, the land reclamation in Kyushu that was basically completed last month has come to an end. According to statistics, a total of 150 million acres of land have been reclaimed in Kyushu. Including Haowei County, Ji Song has reclaimed a total of 180 million acres of land.

As long as food is planted this year, the crisis of food shortage in Guanzhong will be alleviated next year.

We must know that at least half of these fields, a total of nearly 90 acres, belong to the imperial court. Under such circumstances, the imperial court will have the most sufficient food in its hands next year.

It also avoids the losses caused by transporting grain thousands of miles and alleviates the grain shortage in Guanzhong.

He took the document and looked at it again. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he patted his head and stood up.

Ji Song's actions startled the three of them. I wonder why this kid is so crazy?

Ji Song ignored the others, stared at Li Shimin closely and said, "Your Majesty wants to attack the Turks?"

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ji Song in disbelief. How could he judge that His Majesty was going to attack the Turks based on a piece of intelligence?

Li Shimin's hand shook, and some tea fell on his clothes. He drank it down and said, "Yes, how could I miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Although the chance is not great, it is still okay to give it a try."

Li Shimin's words made Wei and Fang relieved. If they hadn't known that His Majesty just saw the opportunity and wanted to give it a try, they would never have agreed.

According to their plan, they were to move north and watch the wolves on the grassland. As soon as a war broke out or they saw an opportunity to defeat the enemy, they would launch a thunderous strike and inflict heavy losses on the Turks.

If there is no chance, then stay put and explain to Jie Li that the withdrawal of troops is the only way. Anyway, apart from wasting some money and food, their losses are not big.

Ji Song's eyes became brighter and brighter. It turned out that he had thought wrong, and it wasn't that there was something big happening in the third year of Zhenguan.Instead, the fourth year of Zhenguan will be the year that completely changes the trend of the Tang Dynasty.

If I remember correctly, in the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing made a surprise attack on the Turks on a snowy night, captured Jieli Khan alive, and defeated the Turks' cavalry, completely crumbling the once huge grassland nation of the Turks.

But what puzzles Ji Song is, what does this have to do with him?
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Ji Song asked.

Li Shimin looked firmly into Ji Song's eyes, grabbed Ji Song's arm tightly and said, "I hope you can go to the grassland."

　There's been something going on lately, maybe.
