February comes, and all the plum blossoms in the palace are blooming.

Di Renjie came to the inner palace, and Wu Zetian met him in the Wucheng Palace.

After coming to Luoyang, Di Renjie was unusual, almost doing nothing. is more honest than Xue Yuanchao at the beginning, no matter what Pei Yan says, he is only submissive.

Wu Zetian only smiled and said, "The mourning family is not a tiger that eats people. ”

After Di Renjie heard this, he also sighed at home: "The tiger is as good as you eat people? ”

After hearing the news from Luoyang, Wu Zetian didn't believe it. So he summoned Di Renjie to ask: "Di Qing, have you heard the recent rumors in the Eastern Capital?" ”

"I heard that."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

But through the pearl curtain, Wu Zetian clearly saw a trace of confusion in his eyes. I was very suspicious in my heart, saying that it was not like an elephant, and my son was so easy to be killed? It's not like it, but it's also very similar, in order to encourage his subordinates, he has the habit of risking his life.

Wu Zetian didn't believe it either, but where did this news come from?

Could it be her son's tricks, she doesn't understand the military aspect, and she can't judge. If it was a trick and Di Renjie did not participate, Pei Xingjian must have participated, but after her husband died last year, Pei Xingjian and Xue Yuanchao both died of illness. The people are all in the ground, and there is no way to ask.

However, since he was summoned to the inner palace, Di Renjie was finally an upright minister, and there was a sentence that he held in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, why did General Qiu go to Bazhou to kill His Royal Highness King Yong?" ”

At the end of last year, Wu Zetian asked Qiu Shenji to go to Bazhou to inspect the Yongwang Mansion. At that time, this order was also normal, Li Xian once supervised state affairs, and the emperor did not come back, he still had appeal. Qiu Shenji inspected Li Xian's house in order to prepare for foreign affairs, in order to prevent Li Xian from being uneasy. After Qiu Shenji arrived in Bazhou, he killed Li Xian.

wrote a report to the court court, saying that King Yong died of illness.

No one believes this statement, Li Xian is in his old age, how can he die of illness? Afraid of Wu Zetian's might, no minister dared to admonish. Di Renjie can't look past it, but it's not easy to say it in person, and it's even more difficult to go to the book behind his back. It happened that Wu Zetian summoned him alone, and Di Renjie expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart.

He is changeable in power and wisdom, and he is still an orthodox minister, Li Xian just did bad things, and he was the emperor's own brother and the queen mother's biological son, and the queen mother's approach made Di Renjie very dissatisfied.

Wu Zetian stared at Di Renjie, and said word by word for most of the day: "The mourning family knows." Others can advise you on this, but you can't, you know? ”

Through the curtain, you can see clearly outside the curtain in the curtain, but you can't see inside the curtain clearly outside the curtain, and you can't see it in the bright light, after all, she is a beautiful widow. But Di Renjie could feel Wu Zetian's gaze, like a cold arrow, stabbing at him.

sighed in his heart, anyway, if a person is dead, it is useless to fight for himself. Brotherhood aside, Li Xian's death was also good for the emperor, so he had to say: "The minister knows." ”

"But Di Qing proposed, you are Hong'er's confidant minister, the mourning family will give you a thin face, and immediately draft a copy for the mourning family, and degrade Qiu Shengong as the history of Wuzhou."

"Whoa."

But Di Renjie slandered in his heart, what kind of derogation is this? Wuzhou is in Shannan Province, which is a poor lower state, but it is finally a thorn history, and it is very close to Jinglu City. But when the news that the emperor died in the south of Khotan did not know whether it was true or not, he did not want to fight anymore.

However, three months later, Wu Zetian recalled Qiu Shenji to Luoyang and appointed him as General Zuo Jinwu.

Wu Zetian's unscrupulous approach finally annoyed Di Renjie, and he once again sent a letter to Wu Zetian to retract the edict. Wu Zetian didn't listen. Di Renjie was unwilling, and repeatedly went to the book three times, and Wu Zetian laughed. Di Renjie was slightly entangled in Li Xian's matter, but in other aspects, he did not embarrass himself. Therefore, he was not very angry, but what happened next made Wu Zetian change his attitude.

Li Xian's death, compared to the rumors that have been publicized, is only a trivial matter.

The envoy who issued the edict went to the Western Regions slowly, and just as the situation in the Western Regions had stabilized, Heiya Changzhi led the army to Qinghai. Stopped head-on and asked to see Li Wei, and the black tooth Changzhi said vaguely: "Your Majesty's dictation, since the Emperor of the Imperial Court in China has an edict and let the Queen Mother handle government affairs, Your Majesty does not need to rush back, the situation in the Western Regions is not stable, and there are still many things to do." When the Western Regions really settle down, His Majesty will immediately return to the Eastern Capital. ”

The envoy did not know the rumors in the country, but after hearing them, he was overjoyed, and it was best not to go back. When you come back, you will return to your life. Let Wu Zetian scold and let you give an edict, why did you come back without even seeing my son?

He sent envoys to Qinghai to inquire, but this time they were all very fast, and they arrived in Shanzhou almost non-stop. However, Heiya Changzhi replied again, His Majesty led an army to the west, and he didn't know that he had gone to the Western Regions, and he had also gone to Lingxi. Either you wait a while and wait until I get news from Your Majesty and then inform you.

The envoy had no choice but to report the matter to the Eastern Capital, and he stayed in Shanzhou to wait for news. Otherwise, where can I find someone from the Western Regions to a place as big as Lingxi?

Fact: The war is not over.

After the Tang Dynasty and Tubo made peace, they never invaded the territory of Tubo, including the land west of the Qinghai River, and even did not send troops to the east of the Hedong River. The Tibetans turned their eyes into hatred and tore up the treaty again, which allowed the Tang Dynasty to occupy the Daoyi.

The reward was made first, and in this battle, there were too many dead soldiers. Not only the battle with the Ronqin Tomb, the soldiers who died in Broken Leaf City, the capture of Khorasan, and the confrontation with the Great Cannibals, the Tang Dynasty army also sacrificed a lot of people. But the war is far from over, and if you fight again at this time, it will be the old soldiers. As a result, more than 4 million dollars were given out before and after. Each soldier received an average of more than thirty taels of gold and silver. More than 30 yuan is a very huge amount for the current Tang Dynasty people.

Not only was there a reward of cash and real silver, but also a female slave and a large number of livestock. The rewards are very fair, and they are almost absolutely rewarded according to their exploits. For the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, generous pensions were also given. This move boosted the morale of the soldiers.

However, this time, coupled with the consumption of martial weapons, the huge wealth obtained from Moufu City was almost consumed.

But new riches are gathered again.

After two years of rest and recuperation, the remnants of Tuyuhun gradually regained their vitality, and their business trips allowed them to accumulate some wealth again. Calm times can pass. In addition to encircling and suppressing the Gelulu and Chebi Shi troops in Jinshan, the Tang Dynasty launched a new battle in Qinghai.

A large number of siege towers were introduced, making the treacherous geographical location of the Tuyuhun people gradually lose their effect. After a month of hard fighting, the city of Tuyuhun fell, and Mohe Khan fled to Wuhai with his wife of the princess of Tubo. Hei Tooth Changzhi chased him to Wuhai again, and was forced to retreat to the Purple Mountain Pass after being forced to talk about Zanpo. The Tuyuhun group of dragons was leaderless, and the tribes that fled to the valley came out and surrendered. Some of them had been linked to the Tang Dynasty earlier, and those who wanted to surrender were sent to Lingzhou and placed under the name of Nuo Haobo Khan. But the others were not spared and sent to the Central Plains.

On Qinling's return to China, the teacher was in vain, and the situation in Tubo was worse, and the voice of opposition sounded again. It's just that under the pressure of the Wulu clan, it has become very gentle. And in order to rescue the Qinling, the Wulu clan personally went to Yangtong, launched a large army, and went to Kunlun Mountain to rescue. Therefore, there are contradictions, and it is impossible to talk about Qinling. In this case, he did not have the strength to send troops to Qinghai again. I had to agree to Wulu's approach, and prepared to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask for a new peace negotiation.

But at this time, there was also a rumor in Tubo that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty died in Nanshankou.

On Qinling was very stunned, the battle of Nanshankou was very hard, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were sacrificed successively. These are the bravest soldiers in Tibet. After capturing the Nanshan Pass, Non Qinling issued an order to pardon the Tang Dynasty captives to appease the anger in his heart. During that battle, only a handful of Tang soldiers escaped, but he did not see the Tang emperor.

It was similar to Wu Zetian's thoughts, thinking that it was Li Wei's trick, but he was very puzzled in his heart, what was the intention of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to do this? I don't understand. And the result of this is very dangerous, once the Tang Dynasty people confirm that an emperor was re-established, he was originally because the old emperor was in a faint before he died, and he lost the great righteousness of the militaristic power, and then lost the throne, how to fight? Is it possible that you want to start a civil war?

In the sidelines, he did not dare to send troops. Hei Zhi Changzhi had been using troops until nearly August, when the Qinghai army was also filled with worry, so he withdrew his troops from Hexi. In this battle, almost all the cities in Hexi were destroyed, including all the levels at the end of the war. The number of people with the surname of 100,000 people who were taken captive before and after reached more than 100,000. In the large area of Hexi, there are less than 100,000 surviving surnames. Then he sent garrisons in the last place to guard the various passages leading from Qinghai to the Western Regions. Qinghai Hexi still gave up, but it really became a ruin.

Faced with the soldiers' worries, Blacktooth Tsuneyuki once again rewarded the captured wealth, and then sent someone to avoid the rumors.

This may be the most rewarding war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

With all kinds of rewards, it is possible that each soldier has received an income of more than a hundred yuan. Morale stabilized again. But at this time, no news of Li Wei was heard, and the people in the Tang Dynasty were full of voices. Wu Zetian sent a messenger to Qinghai and issued a strict decree to explain the whereabouts of my son, to see people in life and corpses in death.

Hei Zhi Changzhi said vaguely: "It is possible that the emperor went to Khorasan." ”

Then I took out a map and explained.

After the Great War, the Western Regions was full of greenery, and received some compensated wealth, as well as a large number of slaves, and the various ministries were barely recovering. Of course, under the repeated encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces, Chebishi and Qarlu have probably disappeared in the long river of history.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty army once again set their sights on Da Shi.

This country is in civil strife, but it is still a very powerful country, and just when Avier II came to power, there is a lot of opposition in the country, and he takes the opportunity to further weaken the Great Eclipse. Then, even if it recovers in the future, it will be a long time before it can pose a threat to the river. Moreover, like Tibet, the mainland is in Medina, and the rest of the territory is occupied by expansion. Once shaken, it may not be known whether it will be able to disintegrate.

The Great Qin Kingdom and the Great Food have been fighting hard since last year. Later, in order to restore the glory of the Holy Lord, the Emperor of the Church joined forces with other ministries to launch the Holy War. Even the Avars, who had previously had strained relations with the Western countries, sent a thousand troops to offer friendship to the Holy See and Byzantium.

This made Constantinople very useful. In the past, Byzantium had made the Avars miserable and sent emissaries to preach their comfort.

Reinforcements from various countries arrived, including the Franks and the Goths, and the battle was again in a state of wrangling.

At this time, the Tang army was divided into two routes, Wang Fangyi went to Tehran in person, and Qi Ming went to Makran and Sindh, swept away the garrison of the Great Eclipse, and expelled the Great Cannibals. Use this to break down the pressure of the Great Qin State. But it's not stupid, let alone taking the opportunity to occupy Makran and Sindh, it's very close to the sea, and the big cannibals have a strong navy, which can land at any time for a battle, and the gains outweigh the losses.

To go is to expel and make an appearance, and then bring back the valuable wealth, and the other wealth will be rewarded to the surname of Bailu to win people's hearts. The main force of the Great Food Brigade came, and there were few people who came, so they took the opportunity to annihilate. There are many people who come, but it is better to retract Sestan and Khorasan to retain their strength.

"Still fighting?" The eunuch who gave the order said a sentence for most of the day.

"Why don't you fight, don't you take the opportunity to lay the cornerstone at this time, and when the big cannibals recover in the future, will you really send 180,000 troops from the country to confront them?"

and reported to Wu Zetian again as it was.

Wu Zetian decreed, since you have gone to Khorasan, you must also go to Khorasan for the palace, and you must see the emperor with your own eyes. However, at this time, most people may not think that the emperor is really dead, but it is very likely that something is really wrong.

This is not a step or two to Khorasan this way, the messenger came to Khorasan again, it is already winter, Khorasan has no one in charge, asked the Persian king Ninishi, Ninishi asked Sanlu did not know, so he had to come to Tehran again, is fighting. But there were very few Tang troops in it, most of them were Persians, but the command was handed over to the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

And even the war has been victorious, but no one in the country cares about this key Jian only cares about one person. Wang Fangyi replied very politely, the emperor is not here with me, about where is Qibiming, you can go and take a look.

I'm mad, this is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you know your whereabouts one by one?

He rushed from Herat to Jiling City, and when he arrived at Jiling City, Boshan was living in charge, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to go south to Baluchistan, or he was not there, and he entered Maklan, because the surname of Bailu here lived by fishing, so he was also called a fish eater. But still not there, speaking of faith. So he went to Sindh again, how far did he go? It is no less than Tang Sanzang learning scriptures from the west, and the old eunuch is so bitter.

When they arrived at Sindh, they found Qi Ming, and at this time the Tang Dynasty army team reached its goal, and the Great Food Army team saw that the situation in the east was dangerous, and had already sent a team to save it. Wang Fangyi and Qi Biming achieved their strategic goals, and the main force of the Great Eclipse was able to temporarily gain the upper hand of the Byzantines.

Moreover, the internal contradictions of the big cannibals have intensified, and there are many problems. After Yezid's son came to power, the Great Food Ministries began to turn in favor of Zobair. Under anxiety, he died soon after. Originally, Zhobar seemed to be able to successfully ascend to the position of caliph, but suddenly appeared, and the patriarch of the Umayyyad tribe, Marwan, was also ready to support the caliph Zoubar who ascended the throne in Mecca, but he could listen to the persuasion of others, coupled with the support of Yazid's uncle Hassan, he accepted the oath of support in Jabiya. Together with Hassan, Marwan traveled to Damascus to take up his post, where the Qayss intercepted halfway and were defeated by Malwan.

Marwan succeeded in ascending to the new caliphate, which Khuzobar had expected, and regretted that he had let the people of this tribe go. However, the internal fighting was not calm, coupled with the frantic attack of the Byzantines and the Tang Dynasty, the situation of Dashi was very dangerous.

However, this has nothing to do with the Tang army, and the rest is left to the Byzantines to solve.

Step by step, the army retreated, ready to settle domestic affairs. That's the main thing, and it's time for the fire!
