Li Ze looked at Han Qi and Xue Ping with some displeasure.

Han Qi coughed lightly and said, "Li Xiang, as we expected, Du Youcai was not prepared at all, he never believed that Tubo would launch a large-scale attack, plus the timing of Tocharo's attack this time was indeed unexpected, Du Youcai's defense in Lingzhou collapsed at the touch of a button, and the entire Lingzhou has fallen." ”

Li Ze snorted coldly: "How about that?" We have a plan for this, you are the secretary of the Tang Dynasty Military Department, no longer the envoy of the Hedong Festival, now there are assassins in Hedong, and there is Li Cunzhong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, what are you going to do? ”

Li Ze's accusations are extremely serious above politics. just pointed to his nose and said that Han Qi still regarded Hedong as his own place, although in fact this is true, but on the surface, Hedong is the Hedong of the imperial court, and Han Qi is just the former Hedong Festival. Han Qi's performance is a move to split the court by not going to the stack.

Han Qi glanced at Xue Ping with a wry smile, if it was usual, he would naturally have to argue a few words, but now, he didn't have this mind.

"Li Xiang, the rout of An Sui is already expected. Li Cunzhong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, is a fierce general, but I am really not sure whether he has the ability to command tens of thousands of troops to engage in a full-scale confrontation with Tochar. Tocharian is a thousand-year-old fox who has become a spirit, if Li Cunzhong makes a slight mistake, it will affect Hedong, tens of thousands of troops and millions of people in Hedong, won't they suffer with it? Li Xiang, I have been in Hedong for many years, and I have worked hard with Gao Shuai for Hedong, and I definitely don't want Hedong to make any mistakes. So please allow me to go to Hedong. ”

Li Ze knocked lightly on the table and looked at Han Qi with a smile: "Han Shangshu, if you go to Hedong, Hedong will naturally be dominated by you, but if there is anything wrong in this war, you are also the first person responsible, and the main person who cannot be shirked." Have you thought of this? ”

Han Qi smiled confidently: "Li Xiang, as long as I go to Hedong, you will wait for the good news that I defeated Tocharo." ”

"Okay, since you are so insistent, then let's go, and the military department will be temporarily handled by You Yong!" Li Ze nodded: "But Xue Shangshu, your request will not be allowed." Hedong is indeed important, but he has already gone to a military department book, and Han Shangshu has a reasonable reason to go, you are the Ministry of Industry of Datang, what are you doing in Hedong? ”

"Li Xiang, Han Shangshu commands operations on the front line, Xue can coordinate logistics for him in the rear, and after many years in the north, Xue is already very familiar with the logistics supply in the army." Xue Ping said.

Li Ze looked at him with some annoyance: "Xue Shangshu, I've always wanted to have a good talk with you, you are the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and I also know that you are very capable and serious in your work, but ask yourself, are you fully committed?" It's just a small Hedong, it's worth your attention? Co-ordinate logistics, are all those thorny histories in Hedong eating? If they can't even do that, then what do they need to do? Now that the Shuozhou army has been drawn and is preparing to start a war with the Tubo people, do I want to send a Shangshu to Shuozhou to coordinate logistics, so do you think it is appropriate for Cao Xin to go back or Zhang to go back? Or send Xia He? ”

Xue Ping opened his mouth to stammer, Li Ze had always been kind and pleasant when he talked to them, even if he sometimes knew that they were planning something unfavorable to him, he could smile at them, but today, Li Ze was full of anger and extremely angry.

"You are the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of Datang, not the logistics officer of Li Cunzhong or Han Qi!" Li Ze said angrily: "If you insist on going, then ask His Majesty the Emperor to resign from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, demote to the rank of lieutenant general of the Zuowu Guard Division, and concentrate on coordinating logistics for Li Cunzhong!" ”

Seeing that Li Ze was already on the verge of being exposed, Han Qi quickly stood up and said, "Li Xiang, Xue Shangshu is just worried about the war situation, he wants to go to Hedong, it is indeed inappropriate, Li Xiang is at ease, I am also against him going to Hedong." ”

Xue Ping sighed and arched his hand: "Li Xiang, it's Xue who is abrupt, I don't think about it, I take back what I said earlier." ”

Li Ze's face was a little pale, he nodded, and said, "Two, although Tubo is violent, in my opinion, it is just a disease of mustard, at most it is just a border battle. For us, what is more important is the next spring ploughing, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, at this time should put your mind on the country's water conservancy projects, road projects and other things that can affect spring ploughing, to ensure that spring ploughing does not go wrong, and the war is the matter of the Ministry of War, the matter of the Twelve Guards, and the matter of me, the prime minister. What other ministries and officials need to do is to clarify their responsibilities and do their own work, as long as everyone does their own thing, the world will naturally be stable. But if everyone is restless about their own affairs and stretches out their hands everywhere, not only will they not do their own things well, but they will also mess up the things that others can do well. ”

Xue Ping walked out of Li Ze's public hall with Han Qi a little dejected, standing in the spacious courtyard, he looked at Han Qi with a sad face and said, "You must be careful when you go to Hedong, I always feel that Li Xiang is deliberately preventing me from going to Hedong." If he's going to target you, then this is the best chance. ”

Han Qi smiled and said, "I naturally know that he actually said it very clearly, once Zuo Wuwei loses the battle, then the first person responsible is me." Don't worry, I won't let him get his wish, Zuo Wuwei will definitely win, we will defeat the Tubo people and annex the whole of Ansui. As long as he wins, even if Li Ze has a thousand excuses, he can't open his mouth, and the winner doesn't need to be blamed. ”

Xue Ping nodded: "The truth is naturally this truth, but I also understand that it is difficult to say that there is 100% certainty of victory in things on the battlefield, and it must not be overlooked." When are you leaving? ”

"Now that we've been allowed, it's natural to go as soon as possible. Prepare one day earlier for a better chance of success. Han Qi said.

Xue Ping thought for a while and said: "You are commanding on the front line, and you must put a proper and reliable person in the back to supervise the logistics, those wealthy families, I really can't rest assured." ”

"I'm in Hedong, and I'm afraid that they will turn the sky?" Han Qi said proudly: "Brother Xue, don't worry, even if I send a personal soldier, they won't dare to slack off a little." ”

Xue Ping nodded: "Then I will wish Brother Han a smooth journey and a victorious start, and when you return from victory, I will get drunk with you and rest." ”

"Get ready for the bar!" Han Qi laughed and left.

When Li Ze returned to his backyard, he happened to see Liu Ruyan and Xia He sitting together knitting sweaters, when it came to skills, Xia He was naturally higher, after all, she had been doing this for many years, and Liu Ruyan only started learning this year, but a smart person is a smart person, and Liu Ruyan learns very quickly.

Xia Zhu was also in the house, holding an embroidery bandage in his hand and embroidering a pair of lotus flowers with stitches and threads. The three of them were so focused that they didn't even notice Li Ze walking in, and it wasn't until Li Ze coughed lightly that the three of them raised their heads.

Since Xia He became pregnant, she was forced by Liu Ruyan to return home after dark every day, and if she didn't return after the deadline, she would send guards to the household building to arrest Xia He back.

Liu Ruyan took out the eldest woman's frame, Xia He was also helpless, she knew Liu Ruyan's temper, if she really didn't return after the time, Liu Ruyan really had to do it and send guards to carry her back from the household building.

Liu Ruyan's guards are all some five big and three rough women, after military training, they are even more fierce, those guards in the household department are really not their opponents, and more importantly, those guards will not do anything with them.

So now Xia He, when it gets dark, he can only let his assistant go home with stacks of documents that have not been processed in time to continue processing.

Today is a rare day to spare.

"Who is this for?" Li Ze looked at the semi-finished products in their hands with great interest.

"Don't look at it, it's not for you." Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "These are woven for my father and mother, Xia He's hands are more skillful than mine, I pulled her to help me." Well, where is Xia Zhu, he is making a wedding dress for himself! ”

Xia Zhu on the side blushed, stood up, curtsied to Li Ze, and fled like an embroidered deer.

Looking at her back, Li Ze was also very pleased, Xia Zhu finally figured it out, marrying Shi Zhuang is actually a very good destination, different from ordinary generals, although Shi Zhuang is not good-looking, but he is both civil and military. Although he became a stepmother when he entered the door, Shi Zhuang's son Shi Ping has always been raised in the Li family's mansion, and it is Xia Zhu himself who really takes care of him, and the relationship between the two has always been excellent.

Shi Zhuang, who didn't want to marry again, agreed to marry Xia Zhu because of this.

"These days, how are you feeling?" Looking at Xia He, Li Ze asked with concern: "Don't be too tired, I specially transferred Sun Lei back just to let him share part of your work, he has been with you for many years, and he is also quite familiar with the affairs of the household department." ”

"Actually, there is really no reaction, and it is no different from before!" Xia Ho Road.

"You're so good, I think when I was pregnant with my child, there was a period of time when I vomited to death, and the whole person became haggard, and I didn't dare to look in the mirror. It's good that you're pregnant with a child, but you're even more radiant. Liu Ruyan looked at Xia Hedao jealously.

Xia He smiled slightly: "Madam, you are pregnant with a son, so the reaction is naturally greater." Yan Jiu said that ninety percent of my children are daughters, so they are like this. ”

"My daughter is good, my daughter is good." Li Ze laughed and said: "A son and a daughter, just made up a good word, both children and daughters, and a complete life!" ”

"I also think my daughter is good!" Xia He said with a smile.
