"What do you think of King Liang in charge?" Wu Zetian asked again.

Lu Xiaoxian knew that Wu Zetian would definitely mention King Liang, so he shook his head: "Never?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's answer surprised Wu Zetian: "Why? ”

"If King Liang can return to the dynasty with victory, of course everyone will be happy. But if you are defeated by Tubo, Your Majesty will not be able to deal with the aftermath! ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and said lightly, "With Wang Xiaojie's assistance, how can you lose?" ”

Obviously, Wu Zetian did not approve of Lu Xiaoxian's words.

Lu Xiaoxian did not avoid Wu Zetian's gaze, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, forgive the grass people, no matter who is sent to command, this battle will definitely be lost!" ”

"You ......" Wu Zetian pointed at Lu Xiaoxian, trembling all over, unable to recover from the shock for a while.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shangguan Wan hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Zetian sit down, and persuaded in his mouth: "Your Majesty is angry, and listen to what Gongzi Lu says, it's not too late to care!" Don't get angry! ”

Wu Zetian nodded, sat down, stared at Lu Xiaoxian with unkind eyes, and said word by word: "Okay!" Tell me why! ”

……

In the afternoon, the ministers met again. Wu Zetian was unusual, and did not let the minister speak first, but directly clarified his attitude.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the military situation in Taozhou is urgent, and there is no time to discuss who is in charge. Now I announce that I have appointed Wang Xiaojie as the chief of the Subian Road march, and Lou Shide as the deputy commander, to lead the army to meet the invasion of Tibet! ”

After listening to Wu Zetian's words, all the ministers looked at each other.

Wang Zhijie, who had not spoken in the court meeting, raised his head suddenly, and the expression on his face was complicated and weird.

Five days ago, Lu Xiaoxian made a special trip to Wang Xiaojie's mansion and told Wang Xiaojie that Tubo would invade and let him prepare for the expedition.

At that time, Wang Xiaojie was a little skeptical.

It wasn't until the imperial court received the emergency military information from Taozhou that Wang Xiaojie believed Lu Xiaoxian's judgment.

During the court meeting yesterday, although the ministers of the court were divided into two factions, Wang Xiaojie knew that the boss of this time was none other than himself. Originally, Wang Xiaojie was still very confident, but when he discussed again this morning, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, Liang Wang Wu Sansi was proposed to be the coach, and Wang Xiaojie became the deputy marshal.

Wang Xiaojie has been an official for many years, and he is very clear about the intricate relationship in this, and he knows that it must be Wu Zetian's instruction to propose Wu Sansi to be in charge. Now that His Majesty has made a decision, Wang Xiaojie will no longer say anything.

What Wang Xiaojie didn't expect was that just one noon later, the peak turned around, Wu Zetian changed his mind again, and made a decision on the spot to let him go on the expedition as the coach, and everything returned to Lu Xiaoxian's original judgment.

"Wang Aiqing, this time to meet the enemy is dangerous and unpredictable, I don't know what else Aiqing wants?"

When he asked this, Wu Zetian's eyes were a little complicated, and Lu Xiaoxian's words "This battle will be lost" seemed to ring in his ears again. Although Wu Zetian didn't want to believe that this was the final result, Lu Xiaoxian's meticulous analysis made her irrefutable.

At that time, Wu Zetian asked Lu Xiaoxian: Since he knew that he would lose this battle, why did he recommend Wang Xiaojie to take command.

"There is no more suitable person than him, at least he can minimize the losses!" Although Lu Xiaoxian's answer was helpless, Wu Zetian acquiesced in his heart.

At this time, looking at Wang Xiaojie, who was already a little old, thinking that he was going to the court to carry this pot, Wu Zetian felt a little unbearable, so he could only meet his requirements as much as possible.

Now that everything is back on track, Wang Xiaojieran has to follow the plan discussed with Lu Xiaoxian before, step by step.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaojie's face regained his calm, and he said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty! At present, the most important thing to meet the enemy is to boost morale! Wechen dared to ask His Majesty to promise one thing! ”

"Aiqing, please speak!" Wu Zetian nodded.

"The minister implores to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the wronged General Yan Guogong Heizhi!"

Wang Xiaojie said that the black tooth of Yan Guogong Changzhi is not from the Tang Dynasty but from Baekje. In that year, Baekje was destroyed by the Tang army, and Heiya Changzhi led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and the official was named the general of the left leading army.

In the second year of Yifeng, Gaozong launched a large-scale counterattack against Tubo, wanting to snow the shame of Dafeichuan that year, and the forty-eight-year-old Heizhi Changzhi led his troops to participate in the war. The Tibetan general Qinling adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths, and the Tang army, which was alone in the depths of the grain and grass, was surrounded by regiments.

At the critical moment of life and death, Hei Tooth Changzhi stepped forward and led 500 Tang Army daredevils to plan a rather bold military night attack, messing up the position of the Tubo people, so as to make himself

Fang's troops escaped death in a desperate situation. Hei Tooth Changzhi was awarded the title of General Zuo Wuwei by Gaozong for his merits, and concurrently inspected the Zuo Yulin Army, giving him 500 taels of gold and 500 horses of silk.

After that, Heizhi Changzhi defended Tubo in the area of Heyuan for seven years, and Tubo has been unable to take advantage of it, and after repeated failed attacks, he was in awe of Heizhi Changzhi, and he no longer wanted to come and gnaw on his hard bone.

In October of the first year of Guangzhai, Heiya Changzhi was appointed as the chief of the Jiangnan Provincial Marching Army, fighting against the rebels who rose up in Yangzhou. A month later, the rebellion was put down once and for all.

In the second year of the vertical arch, Hei Tooth Changzhi defeated the Turks in two wells, and was awarded the title of Duke of Yan for his merits; In the following year, Hei Tooth Changzhi defeated the Turks again in Huanghuadui, driving the remnants of the Turkic army into the depths of the desert.

In September of the first year of Yongchang, Zhou Xing, a cool official, was arrested and imprisoned for framing the black tooth Changzhi for rebellion. The young black tooth Changzhi knew that under the torture of these cool officials, there was no hope of life, and it was easy to commit suicide in prison. When the news came out, everyone in the army and the DPRK mourned.

Blacktooth is invincible on the battlefield, treats his subordinates very well, and rewards all the gold and silver items he gets, leaving nothing for himself. Therefore, the prestige in the army is extremely high.

Because of this, Wang Xiaojie believes that the best way to boost morale is to rehabilitate the unjustly killed black tooth Changzhi. Of course, this idea was taught to Wang Xiaojie by Lu Xiaoxian, and Wang Xiaojie had no bottom in his heart.

As soon as Wang Xiaojie's words fell, the court was suddenly silent.

Everyone knows that Hei Tooth Changzhi was framed and killed by Zhou Xing, but the problem is that it was Wu Zetian who reused Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and other cool officials back then.

At the beginning of Wu Zetian's accession to the throne, in order to stabilize the throne, the cool officials were used to carry out a great purge, and under the rampant of the cool officials, the shocking holy decrees of "punishment", "loss of his family", "punishment in the city", "beheading", "killing", "giving death" and other words abounded, and the civil ministers and military generals were unjustly killed.

Now, Wang Xiaojie suddenly proposed to rehabilitate Heiya Changzhi, isn't this a clear call to Wu Zetian?

The dragon has reverse scales and dies when it touches it, is Wang Xiaojie's brain broken?

The ministers looked cautiously at Wu Zetian, who was high above, and some of them were timid, and they were already out of breath with nervousness.

Surprisingly, Wu Zetian did not get angry, but was silent, bowing his head as if thinking about Wang Xiaojie's request.
