The land of Hexi is extremely important, not only the important place connecting Guanzhong and the Western Regions, but also the root of overlooking the grassland desert of the Western Regions, Hexi is unstable, Hexi is in hand, then the Central Plains is as stable as Mount Tai, although Gaozong's body bones are not good, but it is deeply influenced by Taizong, he likes military strategy since he was a child, although he is not proficient, but military knowledge is not lacking, and he will not know the importance of Hexi, because of this, although Gaozong is extremely eager to adjust the military and political system of Hexi, he does not dare to start easily, not only because of Li Xian's reaction, More is afraid of chaos in Hexi, at this time, I heard that Li Xian voluntarily mobilized Hexi troops and horses to expedition to Persia, but I couldn't help but think about it.

"Is 20,000 soldiers enough?"

Gaozong thought carefully for a while, and at the end of the day, he still had the upper hand in adjusting Hexi's thoughts, but he was worried that it would be difficult for 20,000 troops to win, so he opened his mouth in a deep voice.

"If you go back to your father's words, it may be difficult to destroy a country of great food, but it is enough to restore the country of Persia, and no matter how many soldiers there are, it will be difficult to bear a heavy burden in logistics."

Although he had long expected that Gaozong would make such a choice, when Gaozong really asked such a sentence, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't bring it to his face, but replied with a sincere face.

"Although I have never seen Lin Chengbin, I have heard of his reputation for being good at fighting for a long time, and I can rest assured that he will lead his troops to go on the expedition, but Hexi is an important place for the society, and he suddenly transferred so many soldiers and horses, once there is some instability, but it is not a trick, according to me, why not transfer 20,000 Guanzhong troops from Wang Fangyi to Hexi, what do you think about reinforcements?"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Gaozong did not raise any objections, and after commenting a few words, the conversation changed and tested Li Xian again.

Hey, the old man's eating appearance is too ugly, just mixed with sand, this time it's good, just play **!

Li Xian's strategic vision is far higher than Gaozong's half-hung level than the boss, Gaozong can see it, how can Li Xian not be aware of it, for the land of Hexi, Li Xian also does not want to give up, but Li Xian has already made other arrangements, since he does not plan to be strong with Gaozong at this time, only a little groaning, he has already opened his mouth to praise: "Father Emperor Shengming, with General Wang leading the troops to help, Hexi will be safe!" ”

"Well, that's good, this matter is decided, hmm, when does Xian'er think it's appropriate to go on the expedition?"

Gaozong originally just wanted to test Li Xian's reaction, and didn't really expect Li Xian to agree, but since Li Xian was willing to agree, Gaozong would not miss it, so he was very happy to make a conclusion, and some people were suspected of impatience.

"Father Mingjian, now that the cold winter is coming, the road will be closed, it is not suitable to use swords, according to the child's opinion, it may be appropriate to start tomorrow spring, and the shallow view of this son is also, please also ask the father and the emperor to judge."

Li Xianduo is a shrewd individual, how can he not understand the changes in Gaozong's psychology, but he doesn't take it to heart, just because he really wants to dismantle such an iron plate in Hexi, it will take a long time, and time is not much for Gaozong, at the latest at this time next year, Gaozong will be completely sick in bed, how can he have any energy to toss Hexi's affairs again, besides, although Wang Fangyi, who was sent to Hexi, has only served under Li Xian for a short period of time, he has already secretly served Li Xian, as for the troops under his command, Originally, it was trained by Ling Chong, and it was also Li Xian's descendant, and the left and right changes were their own team, for Li Xian, there was really not much difference, and he was happy to give Gaozong a satisfactory answer.

"Tomorrow Spring? Okay, I've made up my mind, and I'll send troops tomorrow spring! Hmm, Mei Niang, should I be right to deal with it like this? ”

Not only can achieve the purpose of the Hexi military and political system, but also can be extraterritorial, Gaozong has no reason to be inaccurate, and then the decision is made, Gaozong suddenly remembered that the Empress Wu had never expressed his attitude on the side, and his heart was inevitably empty, and he hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has no objection."

Empress Wu's original intention was to use the expedition to exclude Li Xian from the court openly, as for the expedition itself, Empress Wu did not value it, but because of this battle is to lose or win, there is no actual impact on the court, now Gaozong and Li Xian have reached an agreement, the main purpose is obviously impossible to achieve, and I can't help but feel a little stupid in my heart, but at this moment, but there is no way to think about it, so I can only wipe my tears and praise with red eyes.

"Well, okay, then it's decided, Xian'er has always been good at fighting, so this matter will be handed over to Er, and I will give you the will when I turn around."

Being able to settle the dispute between mother and son so smoothly, and to be able to quietly achieve the hidden wish of initially dismantling the military and political system in Hexi, Gaozong was very satisfied, but he was afraid that he would have many dreams at night, and he did not want to stay with Li Xian for a long time.

"Father and Emperor Shengming, the sons should try their best to think of it, but the sons are currently busy with the promotion of overseas varieties, and their energy is limited, if there is any omission, it is not beautiful.

Gaozong's intention to evict customers, Li Xian would not be unable to hear it, but Li Xian didn't plan to leave like this, what are you kidding, the "price" has paid so much, and he left without any benefits, so it will be a big loss.

"Well, that's ...... too."

As soon as Li Xian said this, Gaozong had a little headache, you must know that the Hexi Army is an elite division trained by Li Xian, if he refuses to come forward, others are afraid that it will not be so convenient if they want to mobilize this army, so although he knows that Li Xian's words have a bargaining meaning, but Gaozong really has no choice, and he has been silent for a while, and he did not dare to press it down.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, Chenzhou Thorn Shi Lin Mingdu has been in the sea for a long time, not only has the ability of the pastoral side, but also has the experience of the household, the Ministry of Rites, it is a rare talent, if it can be transferred back to the court, to assist the sons of the ministers to regulate the promotion of the states, the sons can withdraw from military affairs, carefully planned, early half a year, late a year, will be able to make Persia reinstated."

Stretch out your hand when you should stretch out, at this point, Li Xian has never been polite, but, considering that the Empress Wu is still staring at the sidelines, Li Xian did not take the opportunity to open his mouth, but only made a seemingly insignificant request.

"Lin Mingdu? Hmm, Mei Niang, is there still anything lacking in the central and central ministries? ”

Although Gaozong has not been in charge of politics for a long time, he still has a certain impression of Lin Mingdu, who has been a person in the household department, and also knows that he is Li Xian's loyal subordinate, but Gaozong does not care, and now Li Xian's power in the court is still weak, although he has been able to check and balance the Empress Wu, but it has not yet reached the state of balance envisaged by Gaozong, in view of this, Gaozong is happy to use this condition in exchange for the troops in Hexi, but the Empress Wu is still on the side, and Gaozong is not easy to agree casually, This tentatively asked Wu Hou.

"Back to Your Majesty, the adjustment of the various ministries in the DPRK and the Central Committee has been completed, and there is no real shortage, Xian'er is optimistic about Lin Mingdu's talent, so it will be put in the East Palace for use."

Empress Wu didn't want Li Xian's power to expand again, so she pretended to be silent for a while, and then gave a suggestion.

"Xian'er, do you think this is possible?"

The status of the subordinate officials of the East Palace is not low, but compared to the courtiers, it is much lower, in terms of Lin Mingdu's qualifications, it is obviously a little condescending to serve in the East Palace, Gaozong himself is a little unsightly, but it is not easy to say that the Empress Wu is not, which throws the problem to Li Xian.

"Father Mingjian, as far as the son knows, the servant of the ministry Su Qi just sued Ding Wei, although the formalities have not yet been completed, but the lack is already out, according to Lin Mingdu's talent, it is more than enough, and the son of the minister implores his father for permission."

Except for a few subordinate officials of the East Palace, they are basically not qualified to go to the court, and those positions are already there people now, and they can't vacate their places at all.

"If it's ......, then it's tentative, and if it doesn't work in the future, it will be adjusted, and I will send a letter of transfer to the ministry when I turn around."

Gaozong peeked at Empress Wu's face, and saw that Empress Wu only frowned slightly, but did not say anything against it, so he agreed to Li Xian's request with a deep groan.

"Father Emperor Shengming, sons and ministers retire!"

The matter can be solved like this, although it can't reach the pre-setting, but it can be regarded as something to gain, and Li Xianzi didn't bother to care about it anymore, so he praised it and said goodbye.

"Well, let's go."

Seeing that Li Xian didn't make any more requests, Gaozong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams, so he wouldn't keep Li Xian more, just nodded his head, waved his hand, and signaled Li Xian not to mention it.

"Mei Niang, over the years, my illness has not been very good, all rely on you to support the court, it's really hard, I don't want to go, well, Xian'er is quite talented, but this temper is ......, it's just that Mei Niang, you should take care of it more."

Although Li Xian has gone, Gaozong has not slackened down, just because Empress Wu is still sitting aggrieved aside, that kind of grievance makes Gaozong's heart can't help but twitch, and the words of reprimand are naturally unspeakable, even if he knows that the root cause of this matter is actually on Empress Wu's body, he can only pretend not to know, and smiled helplessly, and even persuaded him euphemistically.

"Your Majesty, the concubines should do their best to assist Xian'er to become talented, and they will never dare to live up to His Majesty's trust."

Under the time of the Empress Wu, he decided that the outcome of this incident was difficult to change, and he did not want to lose points in front of Gaozong again, so he got up and was a blessing to Gaozong, and replied very sincerely.

"Well, it's good that Mei Niang can think like this, and I don't have to worry about it."

Knowing that Empress Wu's words were not acceptable, Gaozong had no choice but to praise him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly wants to Daming Palace, it has been many years since she left Beijing, and the concubine is homesick."

Now that the previous matter has been revealed, Empress Wu doesn't want to dwell on it any more, and after getting up, he immediately said with a sad face.

"Huh?"

Gaozong obviously didn't expect that Empress Wu would mention the matter of returning to Chang'an at this time, but he couldn't react, so he was stunned on the spot......
