Before Li Chunfeng entered the door, his legs and stomach were a little trembling, he took a deep breath, and said silently: "I am for the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I am righteous." The courage was immediately sufficient.

……

No one knows what Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng talked about, it is said that when Li Chunfeng came out, his face was expressionless, but it was good, not a single hair was missing.

When Li Shimin came out, his face was expressionless and seemed to be refreshed.

Then, rumors spread in Chang'an City.

"I heard it, Li Zhenren calculated the fortune of the Tang Dynasty and the lifespan of His Majesty."

"It's amazing, how can it be calculated, how is the fortune of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I don't know, it is said that His Majesty looks very happy."

"Really, that's great."

"Li Zhenren is too godly."

"Did you hear that? Li Zhenren can calculate the affairs of Persia. ”

"Yes, no matter who it is, Li Zhenren can figure it out."

Next, in the early court, Li Shimin rewarded Li Chunfeng with a second-entry mansion on the grounds that he had accurately predicted the weather and avoided flooding in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is definitely not the reason.

Anyway, Li Zhenren's name is getting louder and louder.

Now, when people see Li Chunfeng, he begins to walk with his hands behind his back, taking figure-eight steps, majestic.

Lu Dongzan lived in the palace of the king of Wei, and Li Tai treated him very favorably, giving him an independent small courtyard, and he lived in it with the four servants he had brought from Tibet.

Li Tai arranged some Tang Dynasty maids for him, and he thanked him politely.

Lu Dongzan did not complete the mission given by Songtsen Gampo and was forced to stay in Chang'an. No one took care of him, but he couldn't leave Chang'an.

He stayed in Chang'an and promised himself in front of many state envoys. The ancients made a promise that if he broke his promise, it would not only be himself who would be slapped in the face, but also the entire Tubo people.

The news that the Tang Dynasty was going to send troops to Tuyuhun, Lu Dongzan had already heard about it, and he immediately sent someone to Songtsan Gampo to report the news, in order to avoid being discovered by the Tang Dynasty people, he asked the messenger to only bring a message.

Not long after Lu Dongzan's servant left Chang'an, Ma Xuanliang reported to Li Shimin, who just smiled and said, "Let him go." ”

……

September in the northwest has begun to feel the coolness of the autumn breeze.

On the edge of the Tao River in the southeast of Lanzhou, a team of carriages and horses stopped on the side of the road. In the carriage, Hamid was lying on the lap of the orchid, enjoying the food, when he heard someone outside: "Master, the men and horses of the prince of Qi are here." ”

Hamid got out of the carriage and saw a motorcade of men and horses approaching from a distance.

"Lao Li."

"Old ha."

Li You and Hamid met and hugged each other affectionately.

Hamid said: "Come, Lao Li, I have prepared food for you in the car, just waiting for you to enjoy." ”

"Okay, I'm hungry." Li You said with a smile.

After getting into Hamid's wide carriage, the two of them each lay on the lap of an orchid, enjoying the massage of this beautiful woman, drinking wine and chatting.

Li You said: "Lao Ha, give you this." He took a bronze medal from his bosom and handed it to Hamid.

Hamid took it and saw that the bronze plaque read "Universal Salt Card".

Li You said: "This salt card is specially made, and the whole Datang will have a piece of it. You take this salt card, and you can buy the salt of Tuyuhun as you like, for any time and in unlimited quantities. Throughout the Silk Road, all the salt outside the Tang Dynasty was distributed by you. When funds are not sufficient, you can take credit. ”

Hamid's contribution to Datang and Li You himself deserves this treatment.

Hamid was secretly frightened, he knew that with this, he could be rich and rival the country. He smiled and said, "Then I'll take it." With that, he took the salt card into his arms.

Li You said: "Lao Ha, I'm afraid we have to hurry up, the situation has been complicated recently, and it has been eventful." ”

Hamid smiled: "Well, let's hurry when you're full." ”

Maybe it's Li You's back, there are really too many things this year.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, heavy rains have continued in the upper reaches of the Huai River, and 24 counties in Shouzhou, Gwangju and Yingzhou have been flooded." Huainan Province observed the performance of the road.

"Your Majesty, the Turen of Jiaozhou, Annan Province, rioted, killed the Jiaozhou Thorn Shi, the riot has now spread to Fengzhou, and is spreading to Yizhou." The Annam Provincial Observer sent a recital.

The minister was full of discussions.

Who knows, these are just appetizers, and the real threat comes from the Mobei grasslands.

"Your Majesty, Yi Nan, the leader of the Xue Yantuo tribe of the grassland tribe, has unified the Mobei grassland, has 200,000 elite soldiers, and has the intention of uniting the Tiele Department and the Qibi Department to go south.

At present, small groups of grassland rangers have appeared in Yunzhou, Shengzhou and other places, crossing the border into our Datang threshing grass (robbery). ”

Xuan Ling, a scholar of the military department, said.

The tent of the Xue Yantuo Khanate is located in the Yudu Army Mountain in the south of the Orkhon River, with 200,000 troops. The territory of the Khanate extends from the Great Khing'an Mountains in the east, to the Altai Mountains in the west, to the Hetao in the south, and to the Selenga River in the north.

Yi Nan is a white-eyed wolf, the Tang Dynasty has given it many aids, Zhenguan three years, Li Shimin worshiped Yi Nan as the pearl Viga Khan, and gave the emerging princess (Li Yuan's daughter) to Yi Nan, Yi Nan established the Xue Yantuo Khanate.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, taking advantage of the Tang Dynasty's defeat of the Eastern Turks, Yi Nan annexed some of the exhausted troops and territories, with 300,000 soldiers, including 200,000 elite soldiers.

Over the years, Yi Nan has been paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but his attitude has become more and more arrogant.

There was another round of talking.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, Yi Nan has personally gone to Chang'an, in the name of sending Princess Xinxing to the province, but in fact, he has come to explore the reality of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Haha." Hearing that there was so much trouble all at once, Li Shimin was very angry. He's not a man who is afraid of things. He said, "Okay, come on, and see what I do with them." ”

Li Shimin's confidence infected the ministers, and everyone expressed their support for Li Shimin's decision.

Li Shimin immediately appointed Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Nanning, as the general manager of the march of Annan Province to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhou.

Fang Xuanling is responsible for managing the floods.

As for Yi Nan, let's talk about it when he comes.

A few days later, Li Chengqian's army also set off.

……

Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou.

Xiucun is a big village, hundreds of households, at the gate of a compound in the east of the village, there was a reprimand, on the steps of the gate, stood a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes outside (the official is a member, the outside is an honorific title for a famous or wealthy person), under the steps, stood a shabby, tall and handsome young man.

The outsider said coldly: "Xue Rengui, don't talk about my daughter, I don't care if she loves life and death for a long time." You get away for me, the old man is too lazy to see you. ”
