Yue Wang Li Zhen has been in the court for more than half a year, speaking of the holy family has been good, in and out of the palace and his own back garden as smooth, absolute frequent visitors in the palace, he himself is both a prince and a Zaifu, the reputation is really prominent, at least on the surface, but, most of the Zaifu in this hall do not take the Yue King too seriously, not to mention anything else, just its shallow foundation in the court is placed there, so that a group of colleagues are not very interested in it, but where there is a discussion in the political hall, all the Zaifu treat it as air, Listening to the martial queen's admiration for Li Zhen so much, all the zaifu couldn't help but have different thoughts in their hearts, and looked at Li Zhen with different expressions, and the eyes of everyone were extremely complicated, but Li Zhen was good, and he turned a blind eye to the eyes of the ministers, and he didn't go to pick up the words of the martial queen, so the old god stood on the ground and became a wooden carved clay sculpture.

"Starling, do you have any advice on Hexi?"

Gaozong waited for a while, and seeing that Li Zhen still didn't react, he had to ask in a deep voice.

"Ah, Your Majesty Haihan, the minister is distracted, ashamed, ashamed."

As soon as Gaozong's words came out, Li Zhen was surprised as if she had just woken up from a dream, bowed down in panic, and accused her again and again.

"Oh? What makes the starling think so engrossedly, you might as well talk to me about it. ”

Gaozong glanced at Li Zhen suspiciously, obviously not believing that Li Zhen would be distracted in such a big matter, but it was not good to attack him in public, so he raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister is just thinking about the time when the minister of Yuzhou, everything is complicated, the minister is weak, Wuzi can only be difficult to maintain, it is difficult to be competent, and later, after more than ten years of training, when he was appointed to Xiangzhou, although he was familiar with everything, he still did not dare to say that he was competent, and the minister was really frightened and frightened."

Li Zhen's eyelids smashed a few times, made a look of panic and anxiety, and babbled a lot of seemingly unrelated words, but in fact, it meant something, and it was just saying that Li Xian did not have the ability to oversee the important tasks of the Hexi military array, although this point was obscure, but all the people in the hall were unusual, and who would not hear the strangeness, but Li Zhen did not say it clearly, even if someone wanted to avenge Li Xian, there was really no way to scream, and for a while, the hall was silent because of a piece of death.

"Starling is too modest, in my opinion, in terms of the ability of government affairs, there are only a few people in the world who can beat starling, that's it, let's not talk about this, starling brother let's talk about how to deal with the matter in Hexi."

Although Gaozong is cowardly, but he is not stupid, he can hear the subtext in Li Zhen's words, but he doesn't care, after all, Li Xian's ability Gaozong has experienced a lot, and he will never have doubts because of Li Zhen's words, of course, Gaozong's original intention is not to want Li Xian to go to Hexi to suffer, at this time, when he heard Li Zhen say this, it was obvious that he had other plans for Hexi, so he said a few perfunctory words, and directly bypassed Li Xian's ability problem, and directly asked about Li Zhen's calculations.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister thinks that the matter of Hexi is actually simple, but two words, one is war, the other is governance, as far as the war is concerned, with the strength of my Tang Dynasty, why worry about the rampant Tubo Xiaokou, today, although the DPRK and China due to the lack of grain, can not adjust the army to level the border, but still defend, if you do not count the loss of one or two states, and do the act of clearing the wilderness, the enemy will go to the side of the army for a few months, there is no doubt that there is this strategy, there is no need to make a big fight, send a general to do it, as for the governance, it is a huge article, it is indeed not an overnight achievement, With the great talent of His Royal Highness the King of England, if he can go to the west of the river with a little experience, he can be governed, and this old minister is shallow, and he hopes that His Majesty will make a clear decision. Li Zhen deserves to be called a virtuous king, and after saying it, it is well-organized, obviously dismantling Li Xian's platform, but it sounds like he is considering Li Xian intimately.

"Your Majesty, the eighth uncle's words are very good, and the concubine thinks it should be a feasible strategy!"

Empress Wu's reaction was extremely fast, and without waiting for others to express their opinions, she immediately spoke first to set the tone.

Damn old dog, it's such a vicious strategy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, this account Lao Tzu remembers, and he will go back and forget it! Li Xian's reaction was also very fast, he didn't need to chew at all, he saw through Li Zhen's intentions at a glance, and there was a burst of fire in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, and he didn't rush to refute it, but stood in the hall quietly, looking light.

"Well, that's right, according to the starling brother, where should Xian'er go to practice?"

Gaozong didn't want Li Xian to take the risk of going to war, so he wouldn't oppose Li Zhen's proposal, but when he saw Li Xian's face indifferent, he seemed to disdain Li Zhen's proposal, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he vaguely felt that things were not so simple, so he hesitated for a moment, and did not rush to make a decision, but asked cautiously.

"The minister thinks that Xiangzhou is good, the minister has been here for ten years, familiar with the customs and accidents here, dare not say that the night is not closed, but the road is not left behind, but there is still there, this is the place where His Royal Highness the King has experienced, it is just right, the minister's foolish opinion is also, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment!" Li Zhen replied very quickly, and as soon as Gaozong's voice fell, he said the base of Xiangzhou in one mouth.

Sangju? Ha, what a cunning old fox! As soon as Li Xian heard Li Zhenzhi's proposal, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly understood Li Zhen's intentions - this is just a way to hide people's ears and eyes to show the truth or falsehood, to put it bluntly, it is just Li Zhen pretending to be generous, and one faction will give up the base to show its selfless heart, but in fact, what is waiting for is Li Xian's opposition, so as to eliminate Gaozong's vigilance, and keep the base from losing, and can take the opportunity to block the possibility of Li Xian ruling Hexi, which is an absolute triple win.

"Xiangzhou? Well, I've been there, but it's a good place, Xian'er, what do you think? ”

Although Gaozong is not a stupid person, to be honest, he is really not very smart, and he did not see the true intentions of King Yue's move, but he was extremely satisfied with the "Gao Feng Liang Festival" that he gave up the base area, and he didn't think about it, so he asked Li Xian very happily.

"Father Mingjian, when the son was in the army before, he wrote a song of seven uniques, and the song was a song, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad, and he asked his father to make a judgment for his son." Li Xian did not directly answer Gaozong's question, but instead talked about poetry with Wang Gu left and right.

"Oh? Is Xian'er also good at poetry? I only know that Xian'er can sing, but I don't know that there is still poetry, so let's listen to me. Gaozong himself has limited poetic talent, but he is quite good at appreciating poetry, this time I heard that Li Xian, a prince who knew the soldiers, actually wrote poems, but really came to some interest, and did not ask about Li Xian's official affairs, he flicked his sleeves with great interest, and asked about the poems instead.

"Yes, my son obeys!" Li Xian's face was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

"Good poetry!"

"Wonderful!"

"Your Highness is arrogant!"

……

The poem is naturally a good poem, plagiarized from Wang Changling's "From the Army", which is the swan song of the ages, in the praise of such a heroic person like Li Xian, the heroic spirit, the war clouds urge the city, there is really the pride of Dingding the country, and what is even more rare is that the whole poem is realistic, without the flashiness of the current gorgeous rhetoric, and it attracted the unanimous praise of the palace and the assistants.

"If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it, okay, Xian'er is so proud, if I stop it, then the little family will be angry, even so, I will go to break that Loulan and exterminate the Tubo thieves for me, do you dare to do it?"

Gaozong said that he is a very contradictory person, on the one hand, on the inside, cowardly and incompetent, the name of fear of the inside is even more stinking for thousands of years, but externally he has always been tough, but he is uncompromising, whether it is against Goguryeo or Silla, or Turkic, Tibetan and other surrounding countries, he has always been based on fighting, and the degree of toughness is a few points better than that of his generation of emperor Li Shimin.

"I am willing to serve my father and the emperor, and I will die with all my might!"

Seeing that Gaozong had made a decision, Li Xian was overjoyed, fell to his knees, and promised loudly.

"Your Majesty, however, Xian'er is the first-time official after all, and in such a complex place as Hexi, it must be matched with a few old and serious talents to ensure that there is no danger."

Seeing that Li Xian's overseeing of the military and political power in Hexi had become a foregone conclusion, although Empress Wu was reluctant, it was not easy for him to contradict Gaozong on the spot, so he raised his eyebrows and inserted a sentence from the side.

"Well, that's right, I think the same way, the military situation is urgent, this matter must be done earlier, does Mei Niang have anyone to recommend?" As soon as he heard that Empress Wu's words were quite reasonable, Gaozong had no objections, so he hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is brave and martial, but you don't have to worry too much about military strategy, you only need to match a few deputies, the concubine thinks that he is quite capable of being the general of Jin Wuwei, Qiu Shenxian, or can be Xian'er's deputy, in addition, Li Wen, the third son of the eighth uncle, is also quite talented, and he is sent to the army to experience it, and it will be of great use in the future. Gaozong asked so casually, but Empress Wu immediately climbed up the pole and stuffed three people to Hexi in one go, and all of them were in important positions, so he had the intention of taking this opportunity to completely empty Li Xian.

"This ......, hmm, what does Xian'er think?"

Gaozong is not stupid, how could he not hear the ambiguity in Empress Wu's words, he was a little dumbfounded, did he have the heart to disagree, but he didn't have the courage to oppose Empress Wu on the spot, and after being stunned for a while, he simply kicked the ball to Li Xian.

Okay, you old thief, are you playing the trick of mixing sand with us? Then come, in the hands of Lao Tzu, how much comes, let's kill as much as we want! Hearing that the Empress Wu was so blatantly playing an overhead game, Li Xian's heart became angry, and the killing machine had been moved, but his face was full of gratitude and thanked: "Father Emperor Shengming, the son can get the queen mother to send someone to help, it is a great thing, the son has no objection!" ”

"Okay, then it's decided, and I'll give you the will when I go back, in case of sending troops!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Gaozong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that there would be more branches, and as soon as he finished beating the board, he got up and hurriedly turned back to the apse......
