Chapter Ninety-Four: There Are Two Days

Xu Qing is ready to eat, sleep, eat, do nothing, and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. But in Taiyuan, a big war has just come to an end.

In the eighth year of Wude, the Turks entered Koutaiyuan. In fact, at the beginning of the year, the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty was greatly eased, the Turkic Jili Khan sent tribute, and the Turks and Tuyuhun each invited each other, and Li Yuan's choice was to allow him. Tributes and mutual markets, a peaceful atmosphere.

However, these are only some appearances, in fact, Li Yuan secretly stabbed the Turks. In the same month that Jili Khan sent tribute, Li Yuan went with the master to build more ships in Wuyuan and Lingwu, and also mobilized the children of Jiangnan to go north to train sailors to prevent the Turks from entering the army.

Because the Central Plains have been unified by Li Yuan, only the northern Turkic regions still have fresh mustard diseases. A good warrior, try to predict who the opponent is in advance, Li Yuan opened trade to the Turks, not because he was soft, but because the Central Plains lacked horses, and he wanted to buy a batch of horses through the mutual market. But later, the people of the Central Plains could not buy even the worst war horses, only the weak horses, and the salt, cloth, and grain that the grassland people lacked could easily buy.

Li Yuan felt that he was very at a loss, so he aimed at the two secessionist regimes of the vassal Turks - Yuan Junzhang, who guarded Heng'an in the northern part of Hedong Province, and Liang Shidu, who guarded Xiazhou in the northern part of Guannei Province.

Ding Si, sent the right military guard general Duan De to manipulate Xiazhou, Xiazhou was left only Liang Shidu alone, this battle pointed directly at Liang Shidu, and returned with a great victory.

At that time, the Turks were divided into two parts, the eastern and western Turks, the western Turks were far away, and the Turks were near. In April, Li Yuan chose to attack from afar and marry the Western Turks. However, Jili Khan was not a simple figure, and he intervened between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. The marriage did not come to fruition in the end.

After June, Li Yuan began to prepare to clean up Yuan Junzhang, let Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, fight, and returned with a great victory, and the two nails between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty were quietly pulled out.

At this time, in Chang'an City, the most interesting thing is the dispute between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. After the Yang Wengan incident, Li Yuan leaned towards the crown prince, maintained Li Jiancheng's status as the crown prince, and tried his best to suppress Li Shimin. From the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan gradually alienated Li Shimin, and began to side with Li Jiancheng towards the ministers.

However, in terms of public and private, the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin is still passable, and what has intensified is the contradiction between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

In terms of the public, Li Yuan granted Li Shimin troops to fight against the Turks in case of deteriorating relations between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. At least in the eyes of outsiders, that is, people like Xu Qing who don't understand undercurrents, Li Shimin is as favored as before.

In August, Li Yuan took out the abolished Guanzhong Twelfth Army again and let Taiqing Dou Dan practice soldiers. At this time, the people in the DPRK were full of confidence, and for whatever purpose, they were talking about how to attack the Turks. It seems that someone is provoking this war......

War is the most reflective of people's hearts, because it is the most realistic, the most cruel, private, bloodshed, every person is a real life, and every drop of blood has a temperature. After a war, everything is known, brothers are not harmonious, and fathers and sons are not close.

At the end of October, the Gilli Khan invaded, and the Great War broke out instantly. At this time, Xu Qing was still in Cangzhou, and had just finished dealing with the refugee affairs in Cangzhou, and at this time, the edict of Xu Qing to return to Beijing had just left Chang'an.

Turkic Kolingzhou, Lingzhou Governor Li Daozong went on an expedition, Zhang Jin led his troops to the expedition, and Li Shentong and Liu Hongji led his troops to defend Chang'an. At the beginning of this battle, neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Shimin could lead their troops to the battle.

It seems that someone wants to hide something, or say not to let this

War exposes what should not be exposed.

When Xu Qing was playing in Tanzhou, the Turks waved a shot and turned to Hedong Daokouluo, and the Tang Dynasty army was defeated and retreated.

couldn't hold it anymore, Li Yuan asked Zhang Jin to withdraw and guard Shiling, and ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to send troops and garrison Puzhou, but only for defense. The governors of the state and the prefecture attacked the Turks together. At that time, the governor of Bingzhou was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Daizhou sent Huang Junhan, a battlefield general.

In November, Zhang Jin's army was defeated, and the Turks broke through Shiling, went around the back of Bingzhou, and attacked Merge Prefecture alone. The momentum of the siege was broken. The war took a turn for the worse, and Li Yuan finally asked Li Shimin to send troops, which was the third line of defense, once this line of defense was breached, the Turks would be able to stab the Li family's world to pieces.

Li Shimin really didn't blow the cowhide, and as soon as he came on the field, it was difficult for the Turks to go further. It's a pity that Li Yuan only let Li Shimin garrison, but let several other defeated soldiers continue to play and besiege the Turks. In addition, Li Yuan used a legendary figure, the god of war, Li Jing.

Li Jing was stationed in Youzhou, and Li Yuan ordered him to bypass the Taihang Mountain, tend to Daizhou, and then block the Turkic ass. At this time, the Gilly Khan also sensed that something was wrong and acted cautiously. In December, Yang Mao, one of the generals of the 12th Army in the Turkic Kouyuan Prefecture, attacked him. Yang Mao only delayed time, and then, Li Yuan asked Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to build a joint army with the crown prince.

Two princes went on the expedition, a small military god, a crown prince, * morale was shocked, the Turks couldn't afford to eat, Kou Luo hurriedly retreated, at this moment, Li Jing met the great enemy Jili Khan for the first time, and asked him for a mouthful of meat. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng took advantage of the victory to pursue, and also left many lives of the Turks, and the battle was drawn.

This war, which began with a loud start, ended in a hurry. As for why it started, no one can say clearly, obviously the relationship between the Turks and the Tang is still passable. If you yin me, I'll catch you too, it's been like this before, why did you start a war this year?

The people behind the scenes did not jump out to take responsibility.

In Chang'an City, Li Yuan rubbed his sleepy head and looked through the reports sent from all over the country. The lights dimmed, and he suddenly found that he was old, and the standard palace body could not be seen clearly.

Li Yuan threw the report heavily on the ground, and the palace maid and eunuch next to him knelt on the ground.

Li Yuan waved his hand to keep the noise away from him. In the main hall of the deep palace, Li Yuan sat alone, and the feeling of the twilight of the hero filled the main hall Li Yuan leaned on his dragon couch, recalling the ups and downs of this life.

Raised troops from Taiyuan, defeated Li Mi implicitly, entered Chang'an, respected Yang Guang as the emperor, and set up a small emperor. Yang Guang died, so he sat on this dragon couch.

Then it was the unification of the fragmented Central Plains, one by one the enemies were destroyed, and the great unification was coming, and he suddenly found that his neighbors, the Turks, were also as powerful.

The opponents are one after another, they can't finish fighting, they can't fight, and I, Li Yuan, are old.

No matter how powerful the Turks are, they can't make this wise and brave founder of the country have the slightest fear, and what really worries him is the city of Chang'an.

There are two days in the sky, and there will be blood disasters, this is what Yuan Tiangang told him. There is another sentence, the phase of no life, moving stars and changing the sun.

Yuan Tiangang finished the hexagram, drifted away, and disappeared.

Li Yuan thought of Xu Qing again, this lifeless person, rubbed his eyes, and wrote:

"Order Bo Xuqing of Luonan County to return to Beijing immediately!"

In the Taiji Palace, there are many knives and guns, the door is closed, and there is no sound. The wind carried the heavy snow blowing, and in the aisle, the eunuchs and palace maids hurried by with their clothes too tight. The red walls and white tiles, the majestic palace, look a little dull, making people breathless. It's just that the people who live here seem to have long been accustomed to this kind of life and are leisurely.

Taiji Palace, the power center of the entire Tang Empire, has six provinces, six departments, one station, nine temples, five prisons, sixteen guards, and four armies. The central agency of the Tang Dynasty called the "three provinces and six ministries system", in fact, this only refers to the civil affairs of foreign dynasties, the so-called three provinces refer to the "Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province", Shangshu Province is in charge of implementation, the real sense of the prime minister, is the Shangshu order. In the ninth year of Wude, Shangshu Ling was Li Shimin, and Shangshu's left servant shot Pei Lin and Shangshu's right servant shot Xiao Yu jointly ruled Shangshu Province.

The head of Menxia Province was originally called Shinei, also known as Nayan, and in the ninth year of Wude, he should be called Shizhong. In the old system, the prime minister often discussed matters in the province under the door, so the province was also called the political hall. There are two servants, and now they are named by Gao Shilian, Chen Shuda, and Li Yuanji, and the first two are actually in control. The main purpose of the ministry is to deliberate on the feasibility of the decree, because it is discussed in the province of the door, and the servants participate in the deliberations, as long as the province has passed the discussion, it can be promulgated. Therefore, the power of Menxia Province is very great, but in fact, it is controlled by one of the emperor's and monks' cronies.

Gao Shilian is Li Shimin's confidant, and Chen Shuda is controlled by Li Yuan. There are also many waiters in Menxia Province, who are high in Xu Qing, and they are at the same level as Xu Qing. Xu Qing is the history of the four products, the uncle of the four products, or the general doctor of the four products, and the four products are the four products, this size is compared to the difference between three two and one two, three two and no one can definitely beat one two, but one of the two can be chosen, no one will choose one or two.

Among the so-called three provinces, Zhongshu Province is shorter than the other two provinces, but it is the drafting of the edict, which seems to be the source of water, but is actually the end of water. If others don't discuss things clearly, you dare to draft an edict casually? In the final analysis, the Zhongshu Province is just a senior secretary desk. After another one or two hundred years, the Zhongshu Ling was promoted to the second grade, and the scarlet robe became a purple robe, which was called the right phase.

Now there are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui doing the Zhongshu Order, and the Zhongshu Order also has a responsibility, which is to cultivate the Shangshu Order. Shi Shilang is also on the same level as Xu Qing.

When you see Shang Shuling, you should be honored as Dazai, and you should be called Shaozai, and Zhongshu Ling will become Ziwei. Feng Pavilion. Doctor Yushi, known as Xiantai, is comparable to Xu Qing, and his subordinates are a head shorter than Xu Qing. There are also various books, also known as Shaozai. The Secretarial Province, the Palace Province, the Inner Servant Province, and the Nine Temples were only for the royal service. There are also five prisons, which are in charge of education, espionage, making utensils, developing new weapons, and surveying water conservancy.

In terms of official positions, only the main officials of the three provinces and six departments, and a very few adjutants can be higher than Xu Qing. But the official position is different from the order, the Beijing official is more expensive than the foreign official, for example, a small official Wenxuan Shilang, but it is the fifth grade, but no matter how big your foreign official is, he is also a small official, so you can wait as long as you want. Those who have a knighthood are more noble than those who do not have a title, so Xu Qing pulled back a game here. There are also generals who hold military power, which are no longer measured by the level of ability. In general, in Chang'an City, except for the Hou Ye, the grandfather, and the governors of the three provinces, no one could make Xu Qing give way.

Li Yuan was in a hurry to recruit Xu Qing back at this time, but he was only a trace of obsession, just like Sun Monkey had to have a golden hoop stick, and he felt solid in his hand.

After a little bit of "nonsense", you can have a general understanding of the situation in Chang'an, so as to carry out the later plot. The editor of the review is great, let it go!
