"In June of the third year of Jinglong in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Qian, the guard of the Broken Leaf Town, broke through the capital of the Shi Kingdom, Bahanna, and the King of Shi, Mo He, asked to surrender and cut the city of Julan to the Tang Dynasty to thank his country for the crime of provoking the war! He also promised to pay a compensation of 1 million taels of gold for the cost of the Tang army's expedition. ”

"Shang Dayue, it is not easy for the people of the country of mercy to make a living, and the country of Shi is authorized to pay off the military consumption in fifty years. On the same day, an order was issued to rebuild the Dawan Governor's Mansion, with Mohe's brother Yihu as the governor and exercising the power of Zongzheng. The Tang Dynasty began with the Governor's Office supervising the vassal state. - New Tang Dynasty Book - Volume 209

"I told you a long time ago that he is a good general." In the dormitory next to the Taiye Pool, Li Dan stroked his wife's silky and plump back, and said with a smug face.

It was the height of summer, and there was a faint breath of fire in the air, which made people move casually, and the whole body felt hot and dry. However, tonight the husband and wife were in high spirits, and there was a rare harmony between fish and water. What's even more rare is that Li Xian's calves and knees have vague signs of being controlled. Although he was able to move very little, he clearly saw the hope of getting back on his feet.

"Hmm-" Wei Wushuang lay on Li Xian's belly like a kitten, and let out a long moan of satisfaction from his mouth.

Since she replaced Li Xian in exercising imperial power, today is her happiest day, making her like a cloud all day long.

The 5,000 Tang army went west out of the Green Ridge and easily broke through the capitals of other countries! Although in the end, only one small city in Shiguo was cut off as punishment, it was the first time in the past forty years that the territory of the Tang Dynasty had expanded to the outside world. And a year ago, the Turgish rebels, with the joint support of Dashi and the Turks, almost took the four towns of Anxi!

Five thousand Tang troops went on an expedition to a foreign land, but they did not spend a penny or a grain of rice on the imperial court. All military expenses are borne by Shi Guo. And in addition to the seizure, he also made Shi Guo compensate a full one million taels of gold!

Although for the Datang treasury, the annual income of 20,000 taels of gold is not even a drizzle. But after all, it's a pure income, not an expense. You must know that Datang's treasury was so clean five years ago that even rats didn't bother to build a nest in it. And she, the queen, was bribed for tens of thousands of dollars three years ago and personally stood up for the White Horse Sect.

Now, if Hui Fan bribed her with tens of thousands of hangings, Wei Wushuang promised that she would not even let the nuns sent by Hui Fan enter the palace gate. Now, if anyone dares to refer to Sang and scold Huai with the words "the heroine is in power, the national strength will decline", she can directly grab the latest map of the Western Regions jointly presented by Niu Shi Award and Zhang Qian, and smash this person's head!

It is true that she is a woman, but she has just replaced her husband in power and stabilized the situation in the Western Regions. And this great victory is also because she is good at employing people, and at a critical moment, she rejected the impeachment of the leading general.

Although, at first, she strongly advocated sending Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, it was definitely not to entrust him with a heavy task. Although, at the beginning, she didn't expect that the target she originally wanted to get rid of would bring such a big surprise to herself. However, who can deny that when the Broken Leaf Army was destroying the stone country, she was the one who ruled the court? What's more, Li Xian, the only one who knew her careful thoughts at the beginning, would not dismantle her stage and make these secrets public.

Thinking of Li Xian's strong support for him, Wei Wushuang suddenly found that the fat man in front of him, who was bloated and half-disabled, seemed to have become much more attractive. Deep inside, there is also a faint hot and humid flame beating slowly.

However, it is a little regrettable that Li Xian obviously has no passion to do it again in his heart. Just gently continued to caress her back, babbling like a monk chanting a sutra: "I let Yang Qi's granddaughter go home, it was not a whim. Zhang Qian has not married yet, and he has not even taken Fang Ya to the Western Regions, so it is obvious that he takes this woman very seriously in his heart. I will fulfill him before he can express his thoughts, and he will be grateful to me. And if he takes the initiative to propose and exchange his military exploits for Yang Qi's granddaughter, the relationship between the monarch and the minister will be much stranger. ”

"San Lang can always take precautions when doing things, and he wins a lot of concubines!" Wei Wushuang didn't hear a word, and praised it casually. "The concubine is a woman's family, and her knowledge is not as good as yours, so she needs more guidance from you."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head and licked Li Xian's chest with the tip of her scarlet tongue. Then, work slowly down your chest.

These little tricks between couples, when they are both young, always have immediate results. Although they are no longer young, the tricks are still easy to use, but it is just a matter of how quickly they work.

However, Li Xian took his hand off her back, and then gently supported her shoulder, "Wushuang, you listen to me finish speaking." This time, I will personally issue an order to promote him to knighthood and increase his actual title, but I will not promote him to an official position. ”

"You want to participate in the court?" Wei Wushuang's body suddenly stiffened, looked down at Li Xian, and asked in a low voice, "The imperial doctor said that your body needs to recuperate!" ”

"Just once." Li Xian knew that his wife cared about him, and responded in a consultative tone, "After dealing with the beginning and end of this great victory, I will continue to go back to the inner palace to recuperate." In addition, the Shuofang army and the Anxi army will work together to flank the Turks. If I don't show up, I'm afraid someone in the court will ......"

"Since the saint can hold up his body, even if he is convenient, there is no need to discuss with the concubine!" The fire in the depths of my heart was quickly extinguished. Wei Wushuang climbed down from her husband, wrapped her body in a cold quilt made of silk, and responded in a low voice.

The palace maid who was waiting outside the door heard the movement and came in with a silver basin to serve the husband and wife to clean up their bodies. was directly glared out by her with a knife-like gaze. Li Xian quickly sensed her unhappiness, reached out to grab her waist, and she unceremoniously pushed her hand out of the cold quilt.

"Wushuang, I'm not worried that you won't be able to handle it well!" Li Xian's arm stiffened, and then he explained with a wry smile, "With Zhang Qian's merits, it is enough to worship as one of the Sixteen Guards." I deliberately did not promote his official, but only gave him a field for promotion, because I wanted to leave you the most important opportunity to give grace. ”

"Concubines, thank you for the grace of the saint." Wei Wushuang glanced at Li Xian, and responded without the slightest emotion.

"Alas-" Li Xian could see and feel his wife's coldness, and sighed softly. Immediately, he added in a very low voice, "Wushuang, it stands to reason that I should suppress him severely, and it is best to demote him to a county commander or county lieutenant to scare him half to death." In this case, it is best for you to reactivate him after I am gone. It's just that the final blow to the Turks is in the autumn, and I can't degrade the fierce generals who have just made miraculous contributions to the country without guilt. And after the fall of the Turks, I, I, I am afraid that I may not be able to wait for that day! ”

"What did you say?" Wei Wushuang's mind is all about her husband not going back on his word and fighting for power with him. I didn't listen carefully to Li Xian's words at all. After the latter finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and asked with a frown.

"I said, after I die, you will promote Zhang Qian, so that he can thank you for your kindness and be your loyal arm." Li Xian smiled suddenly, his eyes were full of spoiling, just like when the two were newly married.

"What nonsense are you talking about, your body is strong!" Wei Wushuang finally understood what Li Xian meant, and tears immediately rolled down his eyes. "San Lang, don't scare me, I, I can't live without you!"

"Wushuang!" Li Xian's eyes also became moist, but he continued to smile and shake his head, "Don't worry, listen to me first." ”

"I don't listen, Saburo, I don't allow you to say these frustrating words. San Lang, I won't allow you to ......" Wei Wushuang covered his ears with his hands and shook his head again and again. My heart was suddenly as troubled as a lump of numbness.

If Li Xian died, there would definitely be no one to fight her for power. The prince has a soft temperament and is young, so he can only be her puppet honestly. In that case, she will become the next Great Holy Empress, just around the corner.

However, if Li Xian died, she would have no husband. There is no backer to rely on. No matter how big or small things you encounter, you can only carry them alone, and you can't always find someone to support you at critical moments like now.

"Wushuang, you listen to me finish speaking!" Li Xian pulled Wei Wushuang's hand down with his hand, held it gently, and added softly, "Wu Sansi had already tried to replace me with King Xiang back then, and the reason why he didn't launch it for a long time was because he was worried that King Xiang would be more difficult to control than me, and second, he was worried that Zhang Renyuan would take the Shuofang army and kill all the way back to Chang'an from the east side of the river. ”

Wei Wushuang was obviously able to break free from Li Xian's control with a slight struggle, but he suddenly lost all his strength, allowing Li Xian to hold his hand and letting the cold quilt slip silently off his shoulder.

The hardships of those years are vivid. The husband and wife often couldn't sleep at night, sitting opposite each other and worrying until dawn. And it's only been a few days since the days got better, and my husband is on the verge of running out of oil!

"Zhang Renyuan is too pedantic and too old, you may not be able to control him. But Zhang Qian is young and lacks the city government, as long as you give him benefits, he will definitely find ways to repay your kindness. Li Xian raised a hand and gently wiped away the tears on his wife's face, "Let him be Zhang Renyuan for you and the crown prince, he may not do well at the beginning, but I believe that he will learn quickly." ”

"Hmm!" Wei Wushuang nodded vigorously, and his heart was suddenly so sad that he couldn't help himself.

"Don't be sad, I was already satisfied to see the Tang Dynasty regain its strength and prosperity before I was alive, and to see the fall of the Turks!" Li Xian smiled, and two strings of clear tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes. "When I saw my father under Jiuquan, I can also tell him without guilt that I have not failed him, and it is the queen mother who has failed him."

"Holy Lord, you will definitely get what you want." Wei Wushuang raised his hand to wipe his face, and continued to nod vigorously.

"Don't let it be messed around, state affairs and family affairs must be clearly distinguished." It was a rare opportunity to say a few thoughtful words to his wife, Li Xian thought about it and continued to take the trouble to advise. "When I promised you, the country will be shared with you, and I have never forgotten it."

"Hmm!" Wei Wushuang continued to nod vigorously, deep in his heart, full of gratitude and reluctance.

"The prince's biological mother doesn't have any backing, so if you treat the prince well, he will definitely respect you!" Knowing that his time was short, Li Xian continued to whisper, "You can be the queen mother of the prison country, don't follow my mother's example, and become the empress." My mother has the entire Wu family to rely on, and your Wei family, although it is also full of talents, is more than the warrior of Yingguo Gong. After all, it's a lot worse. When you feel old one day, you will be tired of dealing with government affairs. Just return the government to the prince, don't be nostalgic, follow in my mother's footsteps. ”

"Hmm!" Wei Wushuang's body stiffened again, and his heart was grateful and reluctant, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant. However, she continued to nod gently, as if the two were newly married, and obeyed Li Xianyan.
