Chapter 703 Prelude

On a hot day, the common people who work are tired and suffer from heat stroke, and the officials who handle political affairs are busy with heat stroke, but heat stroke at this feast is still quite rare. Fortunately, Empress Wu has always had a good foundation, and after cooling down and taking medicine, she was almost relieved that night, but the other seven officials who were older than her were not so good.

The old Shangguan was tossed for three whole days, and the other six were also dead and alive. That's not all, in the past two days, the number of officials suffering from heat stroke has increased by four or five, so the Imperial Medical Department has to rush to urgently carry out heatstroke prevention and cooling work in all the official offices in the entire imperial city - although these officials have been quite prepared, but their bodies can't withstand the heat, which is really helpless.

Li Xian was very glad that his brother Li Hong, whose body was thin and seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, was not among the ranks of heat stroke this time. Despite this, he still instructed the Imperial Physician Department to send someone to follow at any time in case something happened, and the other end had to be very energetic and went to visit the homes of several old ministers one by one.

When he was at Shangguanyi's house, poor someone grabbed his hand to the death, but he still didn't forget the state affairs, and spit out a sentence with great pains - Dai Zhide can be entrusted with great things. Even Li Xian, at this moment, couldn't help but feel the diligence of the old Shangguan, hurriedly comforted him, and instructed Shangguan Wan'er, who came back with him, to serve well at home these days, and then said goodbye and left.

Of course, the name of Dai Zhide is not unfamiliar to Li Xian, this person is also an old qualified prime minister, and he once partnered with Liu Renliang. However, unlike Liu Renliang's fame, this person has always been regarded as a representative of mediocrity. It is rumored that when accepting the words, even an old folk woman will change it to her face and say that Dai Servant does not know anything.

Li Xian didn't attach much importance to things like fame, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he had seen this one at the birthday banquet, and he seemed to be very strong. Ke Shangshu's right servant shot is in principle one level higher than the prime minister's Tongsanpin, why is it still so unnoticeable? Thinking of this, he thought that when he returned to the political affairs hall, he still ordered him to be the governor. It's kind of a person who does things.

Because of the sudden heat stroke of Empress Wu, Li Zhi felt an unusual nervousness. All along, his wife seems to be like an iron King Kong, never old and sick, but now that she suddenly shows such a sick side, he finally really feels that this manpower is also endless. So, Emperor Li, who was about to cross the 50-year-old mark, actually accompanied Empress Wu for a day and a night, until the Empress Wu woke up at dawn and found that her husband had only taken a few naps overnight, so he panicked and asked Wang Fushun to send people back.

Although he complained. But as a wife, who doesn't want to be in love with each other? Especially after the Empress Wu experienced Li Zhi's endless and chaotic actions, he felt that today's life was not easy to come by. In such a feeling of heart. On this day, when she exercised the power of Empress Taishang to approve some twists and turns while ill, she passed a certain personnel appointment of Li Xiandi in a daze. Needless to say, that is the appointment of Dai Zhide as the left servant of Shangshu to shoot the governor.

Forced by the summer heat, Li Xian once thought of endless methods. However, an epoch-making product like an air conditioner could never have happened, so he could only use his brains on the crooked way, even if the evil way cost countless money. On the third day after Empress Wu suffered heat stroke, he ran to the Dayi Hall with people and a lot of things, and mysteriously said that it was heatstroke prevention supplies.

Empress Wu was really frightened by this hot day, but she really didn't think that Li Xian could come up with any good ideas, so she lifted the brocade on the plate and found that they were all carved round and cute jade fish. She was stunned for a moment. When Li Xian pointed to those things, saying that they were soaked in cold water and put them in their mouths to relieve fever when they were free, she suddenly smiled.

"You can't think of such a luxurious method."

However. The things Li Xian sent were far more than that—a jade mat, a wall of ice and fire, and a jade pillow. The so-called jade mat is naturally strung together in layers of jade blocks; The ice and fire wall is a hollow design, where ice cubes can be placed in the middle and placed behind you to relieve heat and cool down; As for the jade pillow, it is not the kind of hard pillow in this year. It is the pillow core that Li Xian has worked so hard to set up. Then wrap the outside with a thin slice of jade, which is the most refreshing.

Then again. The pillows he used for himself had long been carefully filled with soft pillows, so he was not used to that kind of hard stuff.

said that it was extravagant, but since it was a son's filial piety, and he had never stripped the people of fat and cream, the Empress Wu also laughed. Immediately after, from the Emperor Taishang to the Emperor and Empress, they all received such a summer gift, and Li Xian's family also changed a bunch of things from top to bottom. And the countless ice cubes that Li Xian ordered people to cellar in the winter were taken out without hesitation at this time.

In this vigorous heatstroke prevention and cooling work, Dai Zhide re-entered the political hall and looked extremely low-key, and even the remaining Pei Yan, Liu Zhi, and Li Jingxuan basically couldn't detect Dai's presence. When Empress Wu reacted and found that there was one more person in the political hall at some point, she couldn't help but regret it for a while. After observing for a few days, I found that there was almost no difference between this person and not this person, so I silently recognized such a fact.

Even Li Xian, the initiator, couldn't help but think that Shangguan Yi had recommended the wrong person. What is the difference between a guy who doesn't hum and doesn't hum and doesn't add people? When the summer heat eased a little a month later, and Yao Yuanzhi sent him this month's report, he was shocked to find that someone had solved a lot of things, including military affairs.

Combining people's suggestions with his previous ideas, there are several points that can overlap together: the first is that the government soldiers have fled one after another, which is no longer so practical, and the military system needs to be reformed slowly; The second is that the Tang Dynasty should not only use the fetters system in the frontier, but should imitate Emperor Taizong and set up prefectures and counties in important places such as Gaochang to rule, and cannot blindly economize. All in all, it is a sentence, since there is a war, there must be benefits, otherwise no matter how many places are captured, there will be rebellions in the future, then it will be in vain. It's useless to just be brave and brave, but you have to be able to do it.

In this way, is it really necessary to change from the government military system to the conscription system?

Li Xiandi's military knowledge comes from Li Ji, but Li Ji mainly attacks battlefield duels, strategic layout, and has little research on such things as the military system. He vaguely remembered that Su Dingfang was Li Jing's apprentice, and he had seen the corresponding analysis in the military art of the Earth Guard, but now he can't remember it clearly.

So, when he returned home that night, he found Su Yu, but Su Yu took out three boxes of books from his boudoir without saying a word, and said with a smile that they were all dowries - the three boxes of books range from the art of war to the Yin Fu Sutra, in short, everything. As a result, Li Xian, who had been working hard since he came to the evening, went into the study for the first time, and the candle flame was lit all night.

From the hostess to the servants of the various servants, how could you see your master so diligent? Throughout the night, I don't know how many times I sent supper, and Li Xian ate it all as ordered, but he didn't say a word, and he was completely a nerd who gnawed on books. In the morning, with bloodshot eyes, he walked out of the study, and went to the courtyard in a hurry, a bucket of well water washed from head to toe, changed his clothes, and went to work in good spirits...... No, it's the upper court.

There was no big controversy at the court meeting, because a few days ago due to the severe attrition of heat stroke, so this day was only determined ten days later, Xue Rengui analyzed the overall situation in the Western Regions of the four towns of Anxi, so as to decide whether to take over the capital of Anxi. This kind of rule has never been seen before in the Tang Dynasty, but Empress Taishang does not object to the emperor or the prince, and the ministers think that this is a great and virtuous style, and there are not a few people who resolutely support it.

The day dispersed early, and Li Xian stamped his own seal on a pile of folds to be reviewed as quickly as possible, and left the East Palace in the afternoon. In addition to never being late, it is commonplace for him to casually ask for leave and leave early, so although there are many people who sigh after learning about this, there is no one who wants to chase people back.

Li Xian took care of the matter of going out this morning, and discussed with Ganle about important matters, so a large group of women in Xiuwenfang couldn't help but think about what was going on, especially Hamier. This younger brother himself knows that although he is a little clever and has a backbone, he is not a great talent. Of course, she hopes that her younger brother can be rich and glorious, but she definitely doesn't want to be said that Li Xian is cronyism.

Sitting there, she kept her head down uneasily, and didn't even notice that Qu Tu Shenruo and Li Yanniang were asking about the situation in the Western Regions of Ganle one by one, and her younger brother answered with a straight answer, and even bragged about the scenery of the snow-capped mountains with his fingers.

Among the few people on the side, Helan Yan was just pure curiosity and longing, Xu Yan and A Luo were just thinking about what the kind of cold that could make people freeze into popsicles would be like, and Su Yu was the daughter of Jiangmen after all, and gradually heard a little famous. This Qu Tushenruo and Li Yanniang changed their methods to ask about the geography and people in the Western Regions, it seems that the drunkard is not in the bar?

If she remembers correctly, Li Xian seems to be willing to let Xue Rengui go to the Western Regions, so is he going to take Gan Le with him? But in that case, will Hamiel agree?

Just when she was puzzled, a deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Ganle, if you are asked to return to your hometown and go back to Qiuzi Town, are you willing to go back?" ”

Everyone who was talking was stunned when they turned around, they didn't expect Li Xian to appear quietly, while Hami'er turned pale immediately after suddenly realizing it. She bit her lip and wanted to say something, but suddenly she saw Ganle's face glowing, and she could only cut off the words that came to her mouth.

After the initial envy and amazement of Luoyang, Ganle seems to have missed the fertile grasslands and glaciers.
