It's the height of summer in the blink of an eye.

Wu Chenghe's army returned from Yumen and had arrived in Qizhou, and within five days, it reached Chang'an.

At this time, the war in Hezhou had also come to an end.

The veteran Black Tooth is often worthy of a generation of famous generals. In the case of a hasty response, he took advantage of the terrain of Hezhou to besiege the 100,000-strong army of Tubo outside the city of Hezhou, fought hard for dozens of days, and won a complete victory.

Only the Tibetan king Chide Zuzan and the great minister Garzanpo led a guard of less than 1,000 people to fight out of the encirclement.

The rest counted 100,000 Tibetan troops, and they either died or surrendered.

A few days ago, the veteran Hei Tooth Changzhi had already invited Wu Zetian to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the Tubo King City.

vowed to take advantage of his illness to kill him and completely conquer the country of Tibet.

Wu Zetian has already been allowed to play, and the cold materials in the north have been rectified and sent to the west.

The meaning is obvious, even if the plateau is wintered, it is necessary to take advantage of the situation to quell the Tibetan rebellion in one fell swoop.

And at this moment, another important big man was also ordered to return to the capital.

Cheng Wang - Li Qianli.

Li Qianli has been stationed in Youzhou for many years, and now he has to return to the dynasty, be named the general of the auxiliary state, and take charge of the forbidden army, which can be described as a unique honor.

However, after Li Qianli returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was, of course, to meet the empress.

As for the second thing

It was full of generous gifts and quietly visited the palace of Changning County.

"Your Highness's great kindness, a thousand miles are unforgettable!"

As soon as Li Qianli saw Wu Ning, he gave a big salute and was extremely respectful.

Where can Wu Ning afford it? From the point of view of the king, Li Qianli is the king, and he is just a county king.

According to the Li family's bloodline, Li Qianli is also a brother.

Hurriedly stepped forward to help, "His Royal Highness King Cheng, it's time to break Yu Ning!" ”

Li Qianli listened, "Ning"?

This is not treating himself as an outsider at all, showing his true face!

It's even more grateful.

One more salute, "Afford it!" I can afford it! ”

"If it weren't for His Highness's kindness, I'm afraid that my Wu Wangfu would not be able to escape this catastrophe!"

What he said was Li Qiang's rebellion.

It can only be said that Wu Laojiu is indeed benevolent and righteous this time, and he did not involve Li Qiang.

If he is a little selfish, he doesn't have to force Li Qian to join him. As long as Li Qian is not arrested, and only Li Qiang's rebellion is publicized, then Li Qian will be completely unable to explain.

Moreover, Li Qianli was far away in Youzhou and didn't know the situation at all.

Under such circumstances, if Wu Ning hadn't sent someone to Youzhou to tell Li Qianli that no matter how he didn't move, Li Qianli would really not have made a choice.

Especially later, after receiving Li Qiang's family letter, in addition to confirming the truth, he also knew Mu Zijiu's true identity, and Li Qianli was even more grateful to Dade.

You know, he's Wu Ning!

On the same day in Yangguan, he forced Li Qian to rebel and pull him Li Qianli into the water, which can be said to be the best choice.

But Wu Ning didn't, but deliberately protected Wu Wangfu, which made Li Qianli not grateful?

"Your Highness! Please bow down a thousand miles! ”

“”

Wu Ning had no choice, he couldn't pull it again, so he had to change the topic, "King Cheng has seen Your Majesty today?" ”

Li Qianli's eyes lit up, and he was no longer rigid about etiquette.

"I've seen it. There is something unclear and I want to ask Your Highness! ”

"What's the matter?"

Li Qianli followed Wu Ning into the inner hall and said, "Your Majesty is still sick, please see you today, but I didn't say much, just let Qianli take charge of the forbidden army and keep Chang'an peaceful." ”

When Wu Ning heard this, he spread his hands and said, "Isn't this good?" What else is there to know about becoming a king? ”

Li Qianli rolled his eyes, now the situation in Chang'an is very delicate, you told me that the old lady transferred me back just to take over the forbidden army? Who believes?

"Your Highness, I, Li Qianli, am a rough man with troops, Your Highness is still"

Well, Li Qianli is not rough at all!

No matter how you say it, he is also the son of Li Ke, he has received a royal education, but in order to talk like this from Wu Ning, he is willing to recognize a rough person.

But what about Wu Ning?

There are some things that I can't say directly to Li Qianli.

After a moment of silence, "King Cheng must know that the forbidden army is the protection of Chang'an, and there is no room for failure!" ”

"Your Majesty does this, maybe the person she trusts the most is to become a king."

"Ugh."

Li Qianli Khan came down, this sounds a little scary, how can he still talk about it most trustworthy?

Actually, Wu Ning is really not alarmist.

The post of general of the auxiliary country has always been vacant. It's not that no one is competent, but the forbidden army of the Beijing division is too important, and this is an army of nearly 200,000 under the nose of the old lady!

In case anyone has bad intentions, they don't need to attack Miyagi, they only need to open the palace gate and enter as soon as they open the palace gate.

Because, Yulin and Jinwu are also in the forbidden army sequence.

Therefore, in the past, the forbidden army of the Beijing division was divided into separate guards, which was directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and there was never any auxiliary general to lead it.

If the old lady can hand over this responsibility to Li Qianli, isn't that her absolute trust in Li Qianli?

In fact, it was falsely rumored that Li Qian was rebelling before, and Wu Zetian sent Li Duozuo to lead the army to deploy defenses south of Youzhou to prevent Li Qianli from rebelling with his son, which has already shown how much the old lady trusts Li Qianli.

If this is someone else, I would rather make a thousand mistakes than let one go.

Li Duozuo had already been beaten over, so why just fortify?

It was because Wu Zetian judged that Li Qianli was unlikely to be opposed.

Wu Ning looked at Li Qianli, "King Cheng doesn't need to think about anything else, just take care of the forbidden army." ”

"No matter what happens, restraining the forbidden army and not acting rashly is a great achievement!"

"This"

Li Qianli was still a little confused, "As long as this king restricts the forbidden army?" ”

"That's right! That's all it takes. ”

"Alright then!"

Li Qianli is a smart person, Wu Ning dares to say this, and dares to show his true identity to him, which shows that no matter what arrangement the old lady has, he will definitely participate in it.

And as long as Wu Laojiu participates in it, then others don't have to use their brains, just do it.

Immediately agreed, "This king will live up to the trust of His Majesty and His Royal Highness!" ”

Originally, it was secretly here, and it was inconvenient for Li Qianli to stay for a long time, so he stayed for a while, talked to Wu Ning about some common things, and then got up and retired.

Sending Li Qianli away, Meng Cangsheng didn't know where to jump out.

"Can this Li Qianli be trusted? After all, he is still the Li family! It's inevitable that you won't be able to hold it then, right? ”

"Huh." Wu Ning shook his head and smiled, "Believe it or not, in this matter, Li Qianli is even more reliable than our princess!" ”

"He is the only person in the Li family who will not betray the old lady!"

"Why?" Meng Daoye was very puzzled, "Just because of his sycophancy, the empress treats him well?" ”

"It's not." Wu Ning got serious.

"If you really think that Li Qianli only relied on flattery and flattery of the old lady to get to where he is today, then you are very wrong!"

It is said that Li Qianli is the bloodline of the Li family, and there will be some estrangement to Wu Zetian, the person who usurped Li Tang's country.

But in fact, no matter from which point of view, Li Qianli is Wu Zetian's most loyal ally.
