Chapter 613 Shooting yourself in the foot

It turned out that ever since they heard about this incident, Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen had thought about who caused this incident.

It must not be Wang Yi. They have known Wang Yi for a long time. Although they like to make some stupid tricks, they are not very ambitious.So it occurred to me that there were only three people, Li Bao'er and Shangguan Wan'er or Wang Yi's beautiful concubine.

Dai'er and the others are placed last. After all, she has been in Oceania for a long time, and even Wang Yi has been in Oceania for nearly three years.This happened only when Li Gu'er and Shangguan Wan'er came to Oceania for a few months.

If it was Li Gu'er, they hoped to persuade her through her feelings for Wang Hua.

So Xiao Yaxuan saw Li Gu'er and tried to persuade him, but after a long time, Li Gu'er asked strangely: "Why don't you let the emperor proclaim you emperor?"

It was also very strange in Li Gu'er's heart.

The current population of Oceania is nearly 700 million, and there will be hundreds of thousands of Christians in the coming year, plus several 10 people born every year, as well as slaves obtained from other places every year, and people who "return" to the area where the pioneering land is located. In less than two years, it can approach 1000 million people.

During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, some people began to call themselves kings and establish emperors before they had millions of people in their hands.Moreover, with such a large population in Oceania, the number of these populations is still showing a violent upward trend.

After arriving in Oceania, she was also very satisfied. It was better than she imagined. Apart from Dongfang City, the capital where she is located, there are more than a dozen other cities that are being built one by one.And the scale of the city is also expanding. Although some races make her look weird, people from the Tang Dynasty still account for half of the people who work in the fields, operate in the workshop, and walk on the streets.Besides, the climate of Dongfang City is also very similar to that of Chang'an, with four distinct seasons, and the scenery is even better, with mountains, rivers, and the sea.Coupled with the proximity to the sea, the air is more refreshing than that in Chang'an, and it is not as hot as Qinzhou.

Now she is looking forward to Wang Hua leaving that ghost court one day soon and coming here.

A question made Xiao Yaxuan speechless, she dared to say so much, but she didn't listen.

But Li Gu'er's question made Xiao Yaxuan feel that it was obviously not Li Gu'er who brought up this matter first, so he asked her who brought up this topic first.

Li Gu'er replied that it was Wang Hua's father, Wang Yi, who told her and asked for her opinion.

But Wang Yi definitely didn't think of it, but Xiao Yaxuan is not easy to ask.

Although they recognized Wang Hua as their master, Wang Yi was Wang Hua's father. Even Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen had worked hard and made great achievements, so they had to consider this point.

Therefore, a hypothesis was made with Song Wen.

It would be even better if it was proposed by Shangguan Wan'er.

Whether she thought of it first, or she was inspired, it can be understood.Supporting great achievements, especially a woman like her who has undergone several palace changes, will value this even more.

Although it was contrary to Wang Hua's intentions, he was always thinking of Wang Hua, and by the way, also thinking of himself.

But she will not have ambitions, she is now in Oceania, except for Wang Hua who can rely on her, no one else will buy her.There is no source of ambition.

They are most afraid of being the last person, although it seems impossible.Zai Dai'er was forcibly sent to Oceania, she was very honest, of course she was Wang Yi's concubine and Sifeng's mother, no one dared to neglect her.Later, when Wang Yi came to Oceania, at her request, Xiao Yaxuan and the others sent people to help secretly, found many of her relatives, and then took them back to Oceania.Later, I took the initiative to arrange some things for these people to do.

Wang Hua frowned, he had only heard about it.But these are trivial matters, so Xiao Yaxuan and the others did not report.

In the current extensive system of management, the power is still concentrated in the hands of Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan. It is not how much power they have in their hands, but Wang Hua gave them this right, and everything depends on Wang Hua's transfer arrangements.Therefore, the current management mode is still equivalent to the management of the retainer system for the most part.It's just that it is different from other colonies in the Tang Dynasty, and it has more hazy democratic colors.

It can also be said that Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan have a lot of power, or it can be said that they don't, it depends on whether Wang Hua will give it to them or not.

But once the emperor is established, with the monarchy, there will be various official positions, but Wang Hua is not in Oceania, and this right is in the hands of Wang Yi, the "superior emperor".

But Wang Yi's own knowledge and wisdom are not enough.Then it is possible that under Dai'er's instigation, let her various relatives take up important positions, Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan have already been dismissed.Then it is possible that Oceania will be taken by this woman with ulterior motives.

So Xiao Yaxuan found an excuse, saying that he was going to the American continent, but actually came to Lingzhou quietly.Now I don't know how many people this woman controls.After all, there are still many people who are ambitious.

Hearing Xiao Yaxuan's words, Wang Hua was not sure, he sighed and said: "Then she may not get what she wants."

Even if she has ambitions, she may not succeed.

Because of the intrigue, no matter what this woman thinks, she will not be Shangguan Wan'er's opponent.

To encourage his father to support himself as the emperor, maybe Shangguan Wan'er will support him.But forcing Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan into such an embarrassment, I am afraid that she is now thinking about whether she did it right or not.I couldn't think of it in a short time, maybe under the instigation, I thought Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan had other ideas.But once she sees the signs of Dill, she will wake up.Even if it is pinned down, Daier will be pinned down for a period of time.

Immediately send someone to call Zhu Nian.

Isn't it worrying that the people are not easy to evacuate?
Now is the time to make decisions, which tribes move and which tribes stay.These tribes are not only ordinary people, but also their children in the blood camp.

If this incident happens, you can use this as an excuse to withdraw the army from the northwest and reach Oceania.So let Zhu Dian conduct a detailed investigation again.But the soldiers withdrew, and the tribe had to find a way to transfer.

Zhu Tong came over after a while, and he said: "It just so happens that I have something to report to you. I got news that Tubo invaded south this time and captured a large number of people, property, and food. Little soldier."

Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, the south is the kingdoms of Tianzhu.But as his eyes lit up, he looked at Zhu Ting and smiled.

This time the southward invasion, I am afraid that the Tubo people themselves are not willing, after all, the hot climate of Tianzhu is not suitable for them.But the reason for doing this is firstly that a great victory is needed to inspire the soldiers and the people, and secondly that they are poor.The Tubo people support war with war, and the morale of the victor is higher.Once defeated, the financial supplies will be too much.Moreover, two important areas, Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan, were lost.

This is an opportunity. If Tubo is in such a difficult situation, there is still a lot of grain and cloth in the northwest, and they can be bribed to let them out of the way.

Seeing Wang Hua's eyes light up, Zhu Dian knew that Wang Hua had thought of the mystery.So he said, "I've sent someone to talk to them."

"It may not be possible to negotiate well. I will write a letter to Ge Shuhan and Guo Qianguan later."

Tubo also has talents, so we must make two-handed plans.

Both of them are smart people, without saying much, Zhu Dian left immediately.Oceania is the foundation of Wang Hua, and there can be no difference.

Therefore, Zhu Dian immediately conducted some censuses, and the results gave Wang Hua a headache. Although some tribes were persuaded to stay, some new tribes appeared. After repeated consideration, they joined the migrating army instead.

Far from reducing the number of people who asked to leave, there seemed to be a tendency to increase.

Even if the Tibetans agreed, it would be impossible for so many people to leave.

But Zhu Dian did another thing first, and he must pick out [-] soldiers.This matter cannot be delayed.

Wang Hua explained the reason to the court, and then let Xiao Yaxuan take it away.

Not only let him take away three thousand troops, but also let Li Hong, Wang Han and Li Xuejun leave together.

He led the army because he was afraid that, as Xiao Yaxuan said, he would be managed secretly by Dai Er and gain some strength.Li Hong and the others left because they were afraid that Xiao Yaxuan would not be able to control the situation. If Li Guer continued to be encouraged by them, even if there was an army, it would be difficult to deal with it.Therefore, even Li Xuejun was arranged to go there together.This is weighted.

At the same time, he wrote several letters, reprimanding Lu Ergou, Shangguan Wan'er and others.

But these [-] troops are not only to suppress the place, but also strictly investigate who started it.When Shangguan Wan'er left, Wang Hua wrote a letter, asking Xiao Yaxuan and the others to guide and let Shangguan Wan'er learn to handle some affairs.It's not bad in fact, if it weren't for this incident.

But if Shangguan Wan'er started it, immediately take back the rights in her hands.

But if it was Dai'er who started it, then I'm sorry, she will be placed under house arrest immediately, and all relatives will be sent back to where they came from.

When the imperial court heard about this, they were also stunned, and of course they were not gloating.So these thousands of people left, the green lights were hung high all the way, and no one stopped them.

But an embarrassing thing happened with the court.

Now that the court has used Wei Anshi, Guo Yuanzhen, Dou Huaizhen, Li Rizhi, and Zhang Shuo as their prime ministers, Princess Taiping is still very dissatisfied and plans to make Cui Shi her prime minister again.Cui Shi was very shrewd, and said to Princess Taiping: "Lu Xiangxian has always been pure-hearted and ascetic, and his words are lofty and mysterious, which is highly praised by the people of the time. If Lu Xiang does not become a prime minister first, I will not dare to be this prime minister."

Princess Taiping had no choice but to ask Li Dan to let the two of them be friends together.

Li Dan agreed to the transfer of Lu Xiang, but he was unwilling to transfer Cui Shi. Princess Taiping begged and begged, and finally Li Dan had to agree.

But if Princess Taiping only recommends Cui Shi this time, and does not put Lu Xiangxian and Cui Shi together, it is likely that Princess Taiping will not succeed.

During this period, Li Dan summoned Sima Chengzhen, Li Xuejun's master, and talked for a while. Li Dan wanted to keep him in Beijing, but Sima Chengzhen insisted on returning to Tiantai Mountain.Shangshu Zuocheng persuaded Sima Chengzhen, pointing to Zhongnan Mountain and said: "There are many good places to live in seclusion, why do you have to go back to Tiantai Mountain?"

Sima Chengzhen replied: "In my opinion, Zhongnan Mountain is just a quick way to enter the world and become an official."

Lu Zangyong was famous for living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, so he was enlisted as Zuo Shiyi during Wu Zetian's time, and he embarked on an official career since then.

Therefore, Sima Chengzhen was blocked by a word.

But Sima Chengzhen is not without a little dust in his heart.Before returning to Tiantai Mountain, he deliberately transferred to Lingzhou to visit his female apprentice.After talking with Li Xuejun for a while, I finally returned to Tiantai Mountain.

For such an "expert man", Wang Hua did not foolishly persuade Lu Zangyong to keep him.

Next came Xiao Zhizhong, who served as the governor of Puzhou. The court recalled many ministers, but did not recall him, so he wrote a letter to Princess Taiping.He had flirted with each other before, but after seeing the letter, Princess Taiping immediately led him back to the court to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

His brother-in-law Jiang Qinxu, the governor of Huazhou, said: "If you are as talented as a son, why not worry about it. Don't think about it."

Xiao Zhizhong didn't agree, Jiang Qinxu sighed after returning: "Nine generations of the Qing family, it is really sad that the family is wiped out in one dynasty."

That is to say, there are nine generations of Xiao Zhizhong from the Xiao family who have successively served as important officials.But it took a long time before the conversation between him and Xiao Zhizhong got out, and now Wang Hua heard the previous events, but not the latter events.

Xiao Zhizhong has always had a high reputation. From secretly to openly joining Princess Taiping's sect, Princess Taiping's momentum has never been different.Once Song Jing saw Xiao Zhizhong coming out of Princess Taiping's house, Da Song said to him: "This is not what I expected from you."

Da Song believed in Xiao Zhizhong very much. If Wang Hua was forced by the court, he could still be willing.That's killing and robbery, no one wants to die, right?But Xiao Zhizhong's court didn't intend to kill him either, it was normal for the court to relegate and promote.

Xiao Zhizhong's old face flushed, and he said embarrassingly: "It's kind, Song Shengyan."

After speaking, he rode his horse and fled.

This matter did not attract much attention to Wang Hua, he was concerned about another matter.

Xue Na has guarded Youzhou for many years, only defending, never took the initiative to open the border outside the Great Wall.But even silently invading several times, they were defeated one after another, or they didn't get much benefit, and they automatically retreated back.Under his governance, although the people are not as good as Lingzhou, they can still live and work in peace and contentment.However, because of conflicts with Li Jing, the governor of Yanzhou, Li Jing asked Liu You to discredit Xue Na.

So Liu Youqiu spoke to Li Dan, saying that Xue Na was a timid and cowardly person who had lost his prestige, and recommended Zuo Yulin General Sun Quan to replace Xue Na.

Li Dan was very confused at first, if Xue Na had no ability at all, how could Wang Hua rank him in the list of famous generals, or in a very high position?

But Xue Na has guarded Youzhou for many years, so he can change it.In addition, the border was peaceful, and Liu Youqiu was still in grace at that time.So he agreed to Liu Youqiu's recommendation and let Xue Na serve as governor of Bingzhou. This was a transfer at the same level, and many officials would even be willing to make such an arrangement if they didn't focus on meritorious service.After all, Bingzhou is Taiyuan, a prosperous place in the world, and the third largest capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After Sun Quanxin arrived in Youzhou, he saw that there were many fierce generals under his command. In addition, Li Kailuo and Wu Keli had also arrived in Youzhou recently, and two more brave generals were added out of thin air. The soldiers divided into three groups and attacked the Xi people and the Khitan people.

Although Wu Keli was inferior to Guo Zhiyun and other generals in terms of resourcefulness, his military ability was far superior to Sun's. He dissuaded him: "The road is dangerous, the weather is hot, and a lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory and conducts a long-distance raid. There are many dangers."

Sun Quan refused to listen, and he retorted: "General Ukeli, Xue Na has served as a frontier general for more than [-] years, but he was unable to recover Yingzhou for the imperial court. Now we will be able to make great achievements by taking advantage of it."

After speaking, the army moved out and let Li Kailuo lead the [-] cavalry as the vanguard.

Li Kailuo also felt bad in his heart, but the situation is different now, he has to accept the rules and arrangements of the court when he submits to the court.So he took the order to go, and the four thousand cavalry marched first, and first met the eight thousand Khitan cavalry.Although Li Kailuo was brave, he was not leading the soldiers of the Four Thousand Blood Battalion, but the ordinary cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and his strength was only half of the opponent's.The battle was not good, so he sent someone to ask Sun Quan for help.

This Sun Quan thought that once the army arrived, the Khitan and Xi people would flee, but he didn't expect to resist so fiercely.He was afraid and did not dare to send troops to rescue him, but planned to lead his troops back.When Li Kailuo heard the news, he also lost his will to fight. After fighting for more than a day, the army was defeated.

Li Dayou, the leader of Khitan, then sent an envoy to ask Sun Quan: "Since the imperial court has made peace with us, why did you lead the army here?"

He refers to the peace with the Khitan people, but the peace with Mo Chuo, and now both the Khitan and the Xi people have surrendered to Mo Chuo.

Sun Quan was speechless, so he had to lie and said: "I came here to comfort and condolence. Li Kailuo refused to accept my order, please allow me to behead him for public display, and apologize to you."
Li Dayou said again: "If this is the case, where is the letter of the Great Tang Kingdom?"
Sun Quan had a fart letter, so he had to collect all the silks and silks carried by the generals, and hand them over to Li Dayou, together with the purple robes, gold belts, and fish belts of generals and officers.

As a result, the morale of all soldiers is low.

Li Dayou said again: "General, please go back to the south and stop harassing here."

Sun Quan led the army and fled south in a panic, without even a formation.But as Wang Hua said, what trust do the Fans and the Hus have.

Having benefited, Li Dayou did not intend to let Tang Jun go, this was his intention to lower Sun Quan's vigilance.Seeing Tang Jun's formation like this, he decisively ordered his men to take the opportunity to attack.

The Tang army was defeated, and the defeat was inexplicably miraculous. Sun Quan and another important general Zhou Jingti were captured, and Li Dayou dedicated them to Mochuo, who was beheaded by Mochuo.On the contrary, Li Kailuo and Wu Keli escaped back to the Tang Dynasty because of their superb martial arts skills.

The two felt a little regretful, and wrote a letter to Wang Hua respectively.

Wang Hua directly pointed out that the commander's lack of ability was the main reason for the defeat in this battle.The second is the expedition to Khitan, and it is not yet full cavalry, which has lost the role of surprise attack.The peace talks between the two countries, the Tang Dynasty invaded for no reason, and lost morality. This is just like the situation in the blood camp at the beginning. Why can you win more with less? record.But Sun's attack this time just turned the situation upside down.Of course, it can also be said that the blood business has recovered Jishi Mountain.

But that was different. First Jishishan Dangxiang and Tuyuhun ministries were deeply oppressed by the Tubo people. Wang Hua wooed them, and ordinary people did not object to the blood camp.In addition, Tubo was defeated several times, and there was no army to use, and it was a matter of course to recover the accumulated rocks and mountains and rivers.But take a look at how difficult it was for Guo Yuanzhen to regain Dafeichuan, even though he had the upper hand in military strength and weapons, and the generals commanded properly.That's why.

Unless it is an absolute advantage, just like the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Tianjin, only 800 people, no one died, but defeated Seng Gelinqin's more than 3 most elite Mongolian cavalry.There is no way to fight, the firearm is too powerful.

But I advise them not to worry, as long as they report this battle in detail and report the truth to the court, the court will not blame them.

But Wang Hua knew that after this battle, it would have a great impact on their careers in the future.But their own bravery is very brave. They can be a general and charge into battle, but as a commander, their military talent is indeed lacking.When meeting good commanders, they can show their bravery, but when meeting bad commanders, they are also of little use.

The scale of this battle was not small, but it was not placed in Wang Hua's eyes, and it did not have a great impact on the entire country of the Tang Dynasty.

However, more than 2 people have exhausted their ink, which still shocked the court for a while.

But at this time, including Wang Hua, another matter attracted attention.

Princess Taiping instigated a person who understands the calendar to speak to Li Dan, saying that the appearance of comets signifies the removal of the old and the replacement of the new.

This trick is very vicious.If it is Li Xian, it is possible to force Li Longji into the second Li Chongjun.

But Li Dan lacks decisiveness, but he is not Li Xian, and his mind is still very wise. After thinking about what happened in this period of time, he immediately understood what this person meant by speaking.

Moreover, he was only afraid of his son, and had no intention not to pass on the throne to Li Longji, so he just took advantage of this and said: "I have made up my mind to pass on the throne to a virtuous person to avoid disaster."

Although this succession, Li Longji is still a puppet emperor with no real power, but the taste of righteousness is stronger.

Princess Taiping was dumbfounded when she heard it. This was not the effect she wanted, so she tried her best to dissuade her.

Originally Li Dan was still hesitating, but when he saw Princess Taiping like this, his heart became brighter, so he said: "Successively, the group of young people is in power, and the sky changes frequently. At that time, I asked to choose a wise prince successively to be emperor to avoid The disaster happened, but the late emperor was very unhappy. I was so worried that I couldn’t eat for several days. Since I persuaded you to take the Zen seat first, why can’t I do this to myself?”

At this time, I saw Li Longji's cleverness. In fact, he was overjoyed in his heart, but he ran to Li Dan and knelt down, and said: "Because of his meritorious service, I made an exception to become the heir of the emperor. The crown prince is worried that he won't be able to do the job, and now His Majesty wants to pass it on to his son-in-law, I don't know why?"

Li Dan said: "You are a filial son, why do you have to stand in front of my coffin to be the emperor?"

Li Longji burst out crying and walked out.

In this battle, Li Longji won a big victory! ! !
When Wang Hua heard about this, she made a short comment: "Princess Taiping shot herself in the foot."

But Li Dan's Tai Chi became bigger and bigger, and it faintly exceeded the scope of his control.
