Chapter 706: Get Ready
Long Chen received the order and soon led an army of 50,000 to the south to quell the rebellion. Under Li Chengqian's handwritten letters, many middle-aged officials who were once called future pillars packed their bags and rushed to Chang'an.
The scene of the send-off is called a funny, originally those county officials who held local power and did not take this chief official in their eyes were all sent off for eighteen miles, groveling and without the backbone of a scholar.
I am afraid that the colleagues who have made a comeback will hate them, and some people even sent their daughters as concubines, but they were rejected by the resurgent officials.
This group of people does not have enough vision, and the confrontation in the general environment is caused by the emperor, if the revival officials retaliate against them, it is to express their dissatisfaction with the emperor, and the revival officials will not do such stupid things.
With the entry of these officials into the court, the originally chaotic imperial court began to restore order, and there was no longer a need for an official to wear multiple hats, and the efficiency of doing things was greatly improved.
Li Chengqian was also overjoyed, what the Manchu Dynasty couldn't do with the civil and military, he could do it with a letter, what kind of prestige is this?
Li Chengqian, who was idle, was finally able to have time to accompany Chu Yao, but Chu Yao's face was always so pale, maybe she hadn't come out of the tragedy yet!
"Brother-in-law, I really want to thank you, if you didn't help take care of Yaoyao, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to devote myself to handling government affairs during this time."
Li Chengqian said comfortably, when he was busy with such an ordinary afternoon, he realized how precious it was.
Cai Cong peeled a grape for Chu Yao, and said without being salty or light: "That's it, you dare to relax?" ”
"Can you not mention the troubles, I also want to rest for an afternoon, the sun, the wind, preferably squint for a while."
Li Chengqian said angrily, he found that Cai Cong was too venomous, and he pierced people's chests every word.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were a brother, I wouldn't have bothered to talk about you. How long has it been since this happened, and your father didn't hand over the golden pill bucket, so you weren't in a hurry? A few days ago, he was only a little better, and he dared to control the second daughter at night, and he almost couldn't save it, I guess he couldn't stand such a body anymore, if he guessed correctly, he was about to eat Jindan. ”
Cai Cong said and glanced at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's appearance is simply worse than death, as long as he is a person, he will fight hard for that glimmer of life, otherwise how can there be so many terminally ill people in the future What home remedies to eat to death?
"I understand, my father talked to me." Li Chengqian said a little depressed, and then said to Cai Cong very solemnly, "Father said that as an emperor, it is a shame not to be able to look down on the mountains and rivers, he has to fight, if Jindan is poisonous, he calmly faces life and death, if Jindan is not poisonous, he wants to conquer the world again and lay down a territory that has never been seen in the past." ”
"When to take it?"
Cai Cong asked with some loss, the first emperor is the first emperor after all, Li Shimin probably knows that there is little hope, and wants to use this to end the crippled body and let himself die simply. Thinking of this, Cai Cong's heart was full of respect, and the Tang Emperor who swallowed the world came back.
"My father has chosen an auspicious day for the zodiac, just half a month later. At that time, he will sit on the Taiji Hall and serve Dan in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. Father... My father wants me to prepare for the throne, and if he is poisoned on the spot, he wants me to ascend the throne on the spot. What an auspicious day for the zodiac! ”
Li Chengqian's tears fell as he spoke, Cai Cong silently closed his mouth, he just wanted to remind Li Chengqian to prepare from the side, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to be more direct, and he actually thought about everything for Li Chengqian.
"There is still half a month, maybe there will be a turnaround, don't think about it so much, you still have to worry about Dingxiang! I don't know if Chai Shao can stop Lu Dongzan's army. ”
Cai Cong was a little embarrassed to change the topic, Li Chengqian immediately put away his tears when he said business, tears are the most useless thing, and crying will affect his judgment.
"These two Tubo are really heroes, amazing! In the past seven years, no matter who we have bribed to go to Songtsen Gampo and say bad things about Lu Dongzan, the end will be death! The one who persuaded Lu Dongzan to establish himself as the king also ended up in the same way, this is a difficult opponent! ”
Li Chengqian said solemnly, Cai Cong also showed a look of admiration, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty's foreign trade in the Western Regions countries have more or less encountered resistance, only in Tubo not only did not receive resistance, but received strong support, and even Lu Dongzan opened a special market to welcome merchants.
When the two were discussing Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan was also chatting with his subordinates, and his subordinates didn't understand why they didn't attack in a good situation.
"Xiangye, we have laid down seven walled cities, and we have taken advantage of the Tang Army's change of defense to defeat three walled cities, why don't we continue to fight now? The generals of various countries are ready to move! If it hadn't been for your repeated orders, they would have attacked the city long ago. ”
A man with a beard and wearing Wenchen's clothes looked at Lu Dongzan puzzled, and the morale was like a rainbow, so the Tang army should be beaten out of the grassland.
"Keliman, how much effort did it take us to find out the defense of the seven walled cities?"
Lu Dongzan didn't answer Kleeman's words directly, but just asked him questions faintly.
"In four years, we have killed more than 500 strong warriors for this."
Kliman said with some pain, those warriors all died in the ice and snow, died silently, some people disappeared when they were missing, and some people said that they might be traitors, but no one knew that they were warriors.
"Yes! That's 500 people! At that time, we were thinking that when the time came, we would go to Chang'an, but then our plan changed. ”
Lu Dongzan said lightly with his hands behind his back, Ke Liman was stunned, when did this change? How did he not know?
"You don't have to be surprised, you are the first to know about the things that are planned to change, except for the king and the true appearance."
Lu Dongzan said with a smile, and Keli felt infinitely honored. This means that he is trusted by the king and Xiangye.
"It is claimed that it is going to enter Chang'an, but in fact, in this minister's plan, we only need to build seven walled cities, and the three more ones are a surprise."
Lu Dongzan's words made Ke Li confused, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the country, it has become more and more difficult for the king and Xiangye to understand, and it is foggy to listen to it.
"Don't understand?"
Lu Dongzan glanced at Ke Liman, Ke Li Man nodded hurriedly, he must not pretend to understand in front of Xiang Ye.
"Datang is too powerful, with our 300,000 people, it is difficult to fight to Chang'an, even to Dingxiang City."
"Then why does Xiangye want to provoke Datang? In case they fight back, we won't be able to eat it, and you know that it's okay to ask these allies to take advantage of us, and it's impossible to let them fight to the death with Datang. ”
Keli asked puzzled, is it a pity that the information obtained in exchange for four years of hard work has been used like this?
"They won't fight back, you've been reading books for a few years, do you know why powerful countries in the Central Plains have been wiped out from ancient times to the present?"
Lu Dongzan asked Ke Liman with a smile, his eyes full of disdain. Keriman shook his head, he had been reading for a few years, and he still didn't recognize all the Chinese characters! How is it possible to know why?
"Please ask the prime minister to solve the doubts of the lower officials!"
