Gao Lishi admired Ashinayang's gentlemanly style very much, this descendant of the Western Turkic royal family, and his demeanor was no less than that of the children of the Shandong family. Judging from the secret reports sent by Zhang Daobin, the supervisor of the Beiting Army, every ten years, Ashina Yang and Wang Zheng, who was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, have a good relationship with each other, and the juniors of the two families also study and play together every day, and have a harmonious relationship.

From the sage's point of view, it is not good that the main and deputy protectors of a certain capital protectorate thousands of miles away and on the side of Jiezhen are incompatible and are bound to become water and fire, but the two of them are like fish in water, melting and discharging, but it is not what the sage expects.

However, Ashina Yang and Wang Zhengjian are both gentlemen who put public and private affairs first, so the sage is particularly tolerant, but he just asked Zhang Daobin to pay close attention to the relationship between the two, and if there is anything abnormal, he will immediately report to Chang'an.

"Ashina Qing doesn't have to be like this! Don't I know that the matter of rewarding the North Court is closely related to Qing? Qing's desire to avoid suspicion is very clear, but "Lu's Spring and Autumn" has a cloud: the virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies. As the deputy protector of the North Court, Qing is familiar with the characters of the North Court, so he needs to give more advice to avoid whether the punishment of the political hall is inappropriate. The sage's words made Ashina Yang unable to refuse, so he had to sit back on the couch. However, Gao Lishi knew that according to Ashinayang's character, although he had to sit in the hall, he would inevitably be cautious in his words and deeds when it came to the reward of the North Court.

"Brother Nu, let's talk about the thoughts of the political hall first." In the Zichen Palace, the sage's address to Li Linfu also became more cordial.

"No!" Li Linfu replied: "A certain and Chen Xiang have already read and studied the recital of the Beiting Protector Wang Zhengjian, the recital of the Ministry of War, and the secret recital of Zhang Daobin, the Beiting Supervisor transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and have begun to plan the reward for the victory of the broken leaves. A certain is also easy and then difficult, first talking about the rewards of the three vassal tribes of Gelulu, Shatuo, and Gansi who participated in the war. The minister thought that Wang Zhengjian's suggestion was quite appropriate, and he could give the south bank of Suye Water and the city of Broken Leaf to Ge Lulu, allowing him to open a tooth and build a tent in Broken Leaf, and shade his young son Mou Ra Sihan as the captain of the six ranks; Part of the grassland in the north of Suye Water can be given to Shatuo to strengthen its strength to monitor Gelulu; Some of the young men who captured the Turgish could be given to the Tunas to strengthen their loyalty and curb the expansion of the Hui Khanate. ”

After hearing Li Linfu's proposal, Gao Lishi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Linfu to accept Wang Zhengjian's plan almost completely. At the same time, Gao Lishi found that a trace of doubt flashed in the prince's eyes.

"Heng'er, what do you think of the proposal of the political hall?" The sage was noncommittal to Li Linfu's suggestion, and instead began to take the examination for the crown prince.

"Enlighten the Emperor! After receiving the decree from his father, the son thought about it day and night. Erchen thought that Wang Duhu's recital was quite appropriate, but Erchen was puzzled by something, why couldn't he directly build a military town and garrison troops and horses in Broken Leaf, but give Broken Leaf City to Gelulu? Please ask your father to solve your son's doubts! Li Heng replied very sincerely, which made Gao Lishi's heart relaxed.

It seems that the crown prince has really put a lot of effort into today's court meeting. This answer skillfully diverted the sage's examination, and turned the prince, who was not familiar with military politics, asked his wise and martial father about military affairs, and softened the sage's edge. "This is probably the credit of Mr. Li in the East Palace!" Colliers was very concerned about the prince's friend in cloth.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!" The prince's advice scratched the itch of the sage: "The Suye River Valley has abundant water and grass and a pleasant climate, and it is a great treasure land west of the Yili River Valley. To control the Suye River Valley is to control the chess piece in the middle of the river. Starting from Emperor Taizong, the Tang Dynasty built a city and army in the Suye River Valley, just to lay out the entire Hezhong region. However, the Hezhong region is far away, Broken Leaf City is nearly 10,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it is also more than 2,000 miles away from Tingzhou City. Therefore, since the beginning of Gaozong, Broken Leaf City has changed hands repeatedly, and it is difficult to hold it for a long time, so as a last resort, Fang Yun suddenly rode Shi to build a tooth in Broken Leaf City, so as to avoid falling into the hands of Tubo or Great Food. Wang Zhengjian saw that although the first battle was decided to be a turby, but at this moment, Tubo and Hui were powerful, and the center of gravity of Anxi, Beiting, and Longyou was not a big food, so instead of letting Beiting disperse his forces in Broken Leaves, it was better to give grace to Ge Lulu and make it the second Tuqi Shi. As for how to deal with the heart of the big food from the east, it is the content of the next topic. ”

"The sons are dull, and if they don't have their father's ears, they will never be able to grasp the subtlety! The son pleaded with his father so that he could listen to the teachings. The prince bowed to the saint. Gao Lishi stared at the prince's sincere expression and the faint unnaturalness on Li Linfu's face, and sighed that the prince had taken a wonderful move, and avoided the test of the saint with the nature of father and son and the love of children.

"You are the crown prince, and you should hear more about state affairs." The sage was also moved by the prince's sincerity, and said to Gao Lishi: "The general remembers to remind me that if there is a major court meeting in the future, the prince will be invited to come and listen to the government. While Gao Lishi bowed his head and obeyed his orders, he found that Li Linfu was like an old monk sitting still, and his passionate performance towards the prince was indifferent.

"Brother Nu, Wang Zhengjian's recital I have also thought about it carefully, and the arrangements for Gelulu, Shatuo and Huangjiasi are very thorough, and it is better to prevent trouble before it happens. I believe that according to this arrangement, the Suye Valley will be calm. If Brother Shuhan can capture the stone fort as scheduled this year, I hope to discuss the Broken Leaf garrison after the Yuanri Great Court meeting next year! The land in the river will be firmly in the hands of Datang! When the elderly emperor talked about the frontier, he was suddenly ambitious, which made Gao Lishi seem to see the heroic prince who rode lightly and galloped on the polo field for a moment.

"Brother Nu, let's continue to talk about rewarding the North Court." After a breath, the saint calmed down from his angry feelings.

"No!" Li Linfu quickly glanced at the prince with a dark face, and then continued to reply to the resolution of the political hall: "A certain and Chen Xiang discussed that the 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Court who participated in the war could be rewarded with 300,000 yuan; Those who have meritorious service can be promoted and awarded medals according to the list of recommendations of Wang Duhu, and the meritorious department and the meritorious department and the meritorious department of the Ministry of War and the department of officials are registered in the register, which must be checked and used in future assessments and promotions; Among them, Du Huan, the judge of the Beiting Festival, was in charge of military quartermaster and counselor military affairs, and was promoted to the rank of Fenglang from the sixth grade; Li Dingbang, the general of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, after the meritorious service, fought bravely, personally led the Modao team to break the cavalry of the Tu cavalry, and was promoted to the second lieutenant of Zhenwei from the sixth grade......"

"Brother Nu, who is this Li Dingbang after Lingyan Pavilion?" The phrase "after meritorious service" greatly increased the saint's interest in Li Dingbang.

"Your Majesty! This Li Dingbang is the great-nephew of Wei Guogong, the great-grandson of Li Keshi, the Duke of Danyang County, and the son of Li Lingwen, the Duke of Song. Li Linfu's homework was quite solid, so that Gao Lishi, who has always been careful and proud, had to secretly admire.

"It turned out to be the son of an old man!" The saint was slightly surprised. Gao Lishi thought about it slightly, and recalled that more than 30 years ago, Li Lingwen, who played ball and hunted with the saint all day.

"If it weren't for Li Lingwen's involvement in the rebellion of his in-laws, he would have been cut down and dismissed, and Li Dingbang would not have joined the army around him, starting from the army!" For the deceased Li Lingwen, Gao Lishi does not have much nostalgia, but the appearance of the name Li Dingbang makes him sigh at the passage of time and the consumption of personnel. And Colliers noticed that the saint was more or less caught up in nostalgia.

"Brother Nu, after this Li Dingbang is my old man, you might as well take care of it a little." The saint always has a special kind of kindness to the deceased. For Colliers, the more nostalgic the saint is, the more secure his position will be.

"Your Majesty's benevolence is the blessing of the world!" Li Linfu also praised the sage's actions: "Then promote Li Dingbang to the rank of Zhaowu lieutenant of the sixth grade, and the ministers will inform Wang Duhu to take more care of Li Beijiang." ”

After deciding on Li Dingbang's reward, the sage had no objection to the rest of the government's proposals. In the blink of an eye, only Wang Zhengjian, Ashina Yang, Gao Shetun and Zhang Daobin were left undecided.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jianjun is the internal servant of the Inner Servant Province, not a member of the Outer Dynasty, and the Political Affairs Hall has no right to decide on his dethronement, so please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment!" Li Linfu abides by the law and respects Colliers' sphere of influence. Gao Lishi nodded lightly at Li Linfu, and the two giants of the Inner and Outer Dynasties maintained a subtle tacit understanding during the Tianbao period.

"Shi Gaoshetun, the governor of the Beiting Prefecture, was promoted to the doctor of the fifth grade of Zhongsan, and Xu Yin's son was the secretary of the eighth grade, and he was given 500 acres of Yongye field and 10,000 yuan of money in Tingzhou; Beiting Metropolitan Protector Deputy Protector Ashina Yang, promoted to Sanpin Founding County Gong, Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Honored Protector, Xu Yin and a son for the Qipin Chaosanlang, gave Tingzhou Yongye Tian 1,000 acres, 20,000 yuan, and the eldest daughter Ashina Xiaoyun was the fifth product of Suye County. Li Linfu reported the highlight of the reward in the North Court.

Before Li Linfu's words fell, Ashina Yang knelt down on the ground: "After Weichen turned into a cold man, he didn't have an inch to work for the society, so he didn't dare to be rewarded for this!" ”

Gao Lishi began to ponder since the Yuan Dynasty, in the battle of the North Court, Ashinayang's exploits were dispensable, big or small, why did the sage suddenly reward Ashina Yang and canonize Ashinayang's eldest daughter as the county monarch? What was the saint thinking? This is something that Colliers must figure out as soon as possible.

Gao Lishi carefully counted the information about Ashinayang's whereabouts after coming to Beijing, and found that Ashina Yang had frequently haunted near Pingkangfang. Pingkangfang, as the merry and graceful of Chang'an City, has mixed personnel. In and out of it, you can spend the moon before and after, or you can plan secretly.

Gao Lishi sorted out the clues, the matter seems complicated on the surface, but in fact, there are only two key points: first, whether the reward for Ashina Yang is hostile or goodwill; Second, canonizing Ashina Xiaoyun as the county monarch, is it a reward or a price? After grasping these two points, Gao Lishi felt that he vaguely understood the transaction under the water, and couldn't help but be shocked......

Naturally, the sage did not accept Ashinayang's shirk, and passed the rewards of Gaoshetun, Ashina Yang and Ashina Xiaoyun.

Gao Lishi calmed his throbbing heart, looked at Ashina Yang's always warm face, and suddenly felt a chill for no reason. The moment the chill flowed in his body, Gao Lishi was a thriller and understood what the secret fold from Zhang Daobin more than ten days ago was intended. The master has made a move, the layout and the breakthrough are all quiet, and sometimes the opponent may not think of how to layout, and the weapon to break the game has been prepared here. "Let's watch the show seriously, who will kill the deer, a certain heart is roughly clear."

"How did Wang Zhengjian's reward government hall discuss?" The saints were all satisfied with the previous proposal of the government office.

"Your Majesty, the minister picked up His Majesty's teeth before the minister, and said that it would be reported in the order of the first easy and then the difficult. This is easy to agree, and it has been reported to His Majesty one by one, and now what makes a certain and Chen Xiang embarrassed is only how to reward Wang Duhu......" Li Linfu sold a pass, and the curiosity of the people in the palace was aroused by Li Linfu, especially the prince, whose dark face was full of doubts.

"Brother Nu doesn't have to hide it, if you have any doubts, just tell me." The sage didn't care about Li Linfu's desire to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty, on the 24th day of the seventh lunar month of Tianbao, the minister received a report from the imperial historian Wang Jie, impeaching the Beiting Metropolitan Protector Wang Zhengjian for destroying military discipline, privately conniving with enemy chieftains, and hiding thieves." Li Linfu took out Wang Jie's fold from his sleeve pocket, and Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward to catch it and presented it to the saint.

After the sage took the fold, he opened it and read it carefully, and Gao Lishi glanced at it quickly, and roughly caught a glimpse of "...... In the name of encircling the three ques, the fact of conniving with the enemy chieftain is not as murderous as there is Shatuo ......" and so on.

The more the sage looked at it, the more his face sank, and he directly threw the fold on the couch, and said coldly to the prince: "Heng'er, take a closer look, and tell me how to reward Wang Zhengjian after reading it!" Everyone in the Taiyuan royal family is amazing!! ”

When the prince was trembling and frightened to take the fold handed by Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi beckoned to the small yellow door beside him, and told him to serve by the saint's side for a while, and then walked to the saint's study in the Zichen Palace.

At the same time, more than 5,000 miles away in Tingzhou City, the atmosphere of New Year's celebration was still fluttering in the harsh north wind, and Du Huan, who did not know that he had been promoted by half a level, came to the study of the North Courtyard Protector Wang Zhengjian. Looking at Du Hu, who was reading the letters, Du Huan smiled and asked, "Do you make you feel at ease?" ”

"Liulang, the arrow has left the string, and whether it is in the middle or not, it has nothing to do with this heart." Wang Zhengjian's expression was indifferent and slightly sad.

"Is the envoy expecting it or not?" Du Huan asked.

"I'd rather not hit, but what, in the end, in the person is not me." Wang Zhengjian remained calm.

"Will there be a misunderstanding on the prince's side?" Du Huan asked what he was most worried about.

"It's okay, I don't want to choose the same path as my brother. A certain bureau is not for the prince. Wang Zheng saw that his hand was constantly going through the letters.

While speaking, Du Liulang heard the cheerful children's voice coming from the backyard, and couldn't help but secretly read in his heart: "Xiao Langjun, the big tree pavilion is like a cover for you to shelter from the rain and shade, I hope you can live up to this painstaking effort!" ”
