Chapter 440: Tears Like Water (2)

With Zhou Xing's "high level", if Qinling is caught, he can also get a confession truthfully. After only a while, the confession was brought out, and the high efficiency made Wu Zetian very stunned.

Then he opened the confession and looked at it, so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, this group of fools even dared to tell a person of unknown origin about the future strategy formulated by the eldest son to deal with Tibet. I really want to show this confession to my husband immediately, and all this group of goods will flow to the South China Sea Islands and Jiaozhi, and I will be polite to them.

endured it and said, "Zhou Qing, today's matter must not be disclosed to anyone. If this palace hears half a word of wind, how you interrogated these prisoners just now, this palace will add it to you and your whole family. ”

Please come to the urn in advance.

Zhou Xing's face changed and said, "Yes." ”

But this guy is very smart, he has already been on the prince's big ship, it seems that the quality of this ship is not bad, why change the ship? So he found Di Renjie and said cryptically: "The origin of King Yong's Hu staff is unknown." ”

"Why?" Still don't think about it, the Han people have the ability, don't the Hu people have the ability? Take a look at Heiya Changzhi and Li Jinxing, they are doing very well in Qinghai.

"The queen of heaven won't let me say," clicked this sentence and left in a hurry.

Di Renjie began to meditate hard, ordinary people still wouldn't guess it, but Di Renjie was not trivial, and with Zhou Xing's prompt, he gradually came up with it. You have to write to the prince immediately, don't say anything, the spies of Qinling have all hit King Yong's side, and they have become the closest cronies. There are still many things to ask clearly, where did that party girl come from, and what did she say to the queen of heaven to reconcile with her?

You have to know the movement, otherwise how to arrange it?

This matter is going on quietly, and there are only a few people who know it.

Over there, Duan Fuqing also came to his senses, he didn't expect that his three comrades were arrested, and after a day, he would always keep his word when he spoke. But when I thought of it, this demon queen is really idle and bored, playing with herself as a little mouse?

looked at Li Xian, who was worried, and said, "You immediately invite Zhang Xianggong and them, I have something to say." ”

Thinking that he had thought of some clever plan again, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Da'an and Gao Zheng to come over. When everyone arrived, Duan Fuqing said: "The queen of heaven called me into the palace, and she already knew that it was my idea. ”

Everyone was quiet, with a sad face, this queen reacted too quickly, right?

And said: "Everyone, don't worry, it was my mistake, I wanted to rush to make His Highness raise his head, and I was in too much of a hurry, so the queen of heaven suspected it and found out about me." The situation has changed, and the only way to do it now is to withdraw completely. Your Highness, have you finished revising your book? ”

Li Xian nodded, he had already finished repairing, how long had it been repaired? You can deliberately hold on to the manuscript in your hand. If you can't let it go, how can you meet with your cronies?

"That's right, tomorrow it will be presented to the emperor, and then it will really be closed to the guests, Zhang Xianggong, don't fight in the court, wait and see the opportunity."

"Mr. Li, why?"

"The queen already knows that if there is any more action, the queen will inevitably be angry. And if I guess correctly, the prince must have made some deals with the queen of heaven, and now the queen of heaven has no fear, she can take power when she advances, and she can also take power when she retires. I don't believe it, you will take a look in two days to see if Di Renjie will impeach Wu Chenghei again. Guaranteed not! ”

"How's that good?" Li Xian asked eagerly.

regarded this Mr. Li as a life-saving copper immortal, but he didn't expect it to be just a straw, and it didn't work in his hands, so he was very eager.

"Your Highness, don't worry, and listen to your ministers. His Royal Highness retreated, and the Emperor didn't really know it. This retreat is completely complete, but the emperor still needs someone to restrain the crown prince and balance the court. The queen of heaven and the crown prince came together, what did the emperor think? Is it impossible to give in immediately? No way! Then it will only force the Queen of Heaven to break with the crown prince, and in that case, His Royal Highness's opportunity will come. The queen of heaven is unwilling, His Majesty can only build a party by himself, and he is sick, his impression of His Royal Highness has changed, and the opportunity has come again. ”

It seems to make sense, one by one.

But the queen is too powerful, and even the bullish Hu man in front of her began to be cowardly, and she was even more self-paying and not an opponent, so she silently expressed her approval.

In fact, Duan Fuqing has his own thoughts, this queen is too demonic, he is not an opponent, and his identity is leaked. Not really. The crown prince's accession to the throne has also become inevitable. But why did the queen keep herself, leave herself to come up with some bad ideas, and realize that her ideas are just bad ideas in Wu Zetian's eyes, and they have grown, and these bad ideas just become the shield of the demon queen.

It's better to retreat, no matter how you retreat, King Yong doesn't want to retreat!

But as soon as he retreats, he will fight with the queen party, and there will be contradictions in the fight, even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, one is in charge of real power, or the queen mother who is as wise as a demon, and the other is in charge of real power, and it is not weak, and the new emperor who is righteous is in the body, and it is another dragon and tiger fight. Internal fighting is good, only internal fighting, the Tang Dynasty will not pay attention to the outside. This is his last loyalty to the Great Judgment.

The idea is good, but he was negligent, they have no infighting in Tibet? This fight is even more ferocious!

Dejected, he left, and a few days later, Li Xian saw that Di Renjie really did not impeach Wu Chenghei again, and did not hold out hope, so he submitted the repaired "Notes on the Book of the Later Han". Li Zhi was very surprised, and if he didn't repair his books and supervise the country, he had no way to interact with the ministers. Could it be that this little six has really repented?

I didn't speak for most of the day.

Li Xian bowed down and retired, accepted Duan Fuqing's kindness, and went to Bishan to relax.

After going around the mountain, Duan Fuqing said, "Your Highness, go to the toilet." ”

Picking up his pants, he ran into the jungle, then looked around, and fled. Really stay in Luoyang and wait for death?

After running for less than two hundred steps, two big men flashed out of nowhere, intercepted him from the left and the right, and said, "Duan Fuqing, the Queen of Heaven ordered you to stay by King Yong's side obediently, didn't you hear?" ”

How do I know my name? Duan Fuqing was dumbfounded.

"Run again, the method is very simple, we will catch you, a Tibetan spy, and then boil it with glue, stick it to your skin, and when it gets cold, tear off the skin piece by piece. Then raise it, and tear it again after scarring. ”

"It's still cheap, this kid, it's still my method, use wire meat, pocket his meat, cut it with a knife, and then don't give him anything to eat, let him be hungry, eat his own flesh, and drink his own blood."

Don't say it, obediently return to Li Xian's side and stay, not daring to leave a step.

Li Zhi didn't know that August was coming, and he received one good news and two bad news.

The good news was that Li Wei sent it and inadvertently obtained more than 11,000 former prisoners of war. The main casualties in this battle were party members, and the Tang army did not sacrifice much, so the Qinghai army reached more than 90,000 people. In addition to the 10,000 troops sent by the imperial court to Songzhou, the original thousands of soldiers in Songmao Prefecture are close to 110,000, and if the party members are urgently transferred, they can also transfer 50,000 or 60,000 people to participate in the war. In August, the castles were built, and several purges were launched against the Qiang and Tuyuhun people, and there was no need for such an army. Songzhou's original army can be retained, but Qinghai can reduce 40,000 troops.

How to adjudicate the law, please make a clear decision to the imperial court. There are Central Plains soldiers, as well as Tiele soldiers and other Hu soldiers, depending on how the imperial court chooses.

But there is also bad news, brought by the Japanese people, no one thought of it, since Liu Renliang fought the first war, now he is very obedient. It turned out that the messenger was sent, but there was no compass, so he borrowed the ocean current, stopped in Baekje, and then went to the Central Plains. However, as soon as the imperial court withdrew, all the land of Baekje was submerged into Silla, and the Japanese envoys came and were killed by Silla in Baekje, and only a small half of them escaped, hurriedly boarded the ship, and went to the Tang Dynasty to cry out for injustice.

Loosely speaking, now the Wa State also belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they continue to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and submit to it, so later the Wa people drew maps, gave up their own territory, and also marked the Tang realm. This group of *** actually has to inch in and slap their faces.

Li Zhi was furious, immediately summoned the prime ministers, and slapped the table angrily, just right, a large amount of gold and silver treasures in Qinghai were offered, and the autumn harvest came up again, and the war in Qinghai seemed to be able to stop for a while, and the garrison was small, and there was food, and the burden would be less. There are also a hundred battles from Qinghai, and 40,000 troops have retreated. There are soldiers and food, fight!

Dai Zhide and the others glanced at each other, thinking, it's okay to fight, but you have to stop. You can't keep fighting. What if in the year of the catastrophe, the treasury has no goods at all, and Tibet is in trouble again?

But seeing Li Zhi's angry appearance, he didn't dare to say anything.

The matter was not over yet, Li Wei received the news in Qinghai first, and then went to the imperial court. Li Shalu colluded with the Western Turkic nobles to attack the Anxi Protectorate. It's not enough for a small night to slap the face, and another small night comes. Li Zhi actually made this group of clowns who jumped off the beam angry.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to summon Ming Chongyan from Chang'an to Luoyang. Then he comforted: "The matter of the Western Regions is a confused account, Your Majesty, don't worry about it." ”

It's very confusing, even future generations, not professionals, can't understand.

The Tang Dynasty operated the Western Regions from the fourth year of Zhenguan, Pingbei Turkic, Xiyizhou, six years Pingchang, Tingzhou. Eighteen years, begging for the elderly, twenty-two years, Ping Qiuzi, until the hands of Li Zhi, the second year of Xianqing, Ping Helu, only officially placed the Qiuzi Protectorate, so Anxi as the Xizhou Protectorate. This is the forbidden belly of the Tang Dynasty, and later also set up Kunling, Mengchi and other capital protectorates, once when Persia came to surrender, almost to the Persian Gulf, but it has been beyond the reach of the whip, beyond the scope of the troops. In the fourth year of Xianqing, the Khan of the past and the death of the Khan, the Ashina who returned to the Tang Dynasty, defeated the Tocharian Zhenzhu Yehu, and was beheaded in Shuanghe. The edict is based on Shi, Mi, Shi, Da'an, Xiao'an, Cao, Bahanna, Yutan, Shule, Zhujuban, etc., and the state is one hundred and twenty-seven. It was also in this year that the four towns of Qiuci, Khotan, Yanqi and Shule Anxi were truly formed.

The Tang Dynasty wanted a sphere of influence, a small amount of taxes and some tribute to this area, and then implemented the decrees of the Tang Dynasty, not to invade each other, and then there were preferential activities. The territory is not rigid, and the living habits and customs are allowed to be retained. Each ministry of the people administers by itself. Even to alleviate local pressure, the garrison was small. Only when needed, ask the imperial court, and the imperial court will send a large army to deal with it.

This set of policies was successful at first, but it was coveted by the Tibetans.

Lu Dongzan ran back and forth a few times, and saw that Li Shimin used his strength to fight with various ethnic groups, and even the Tang Dynasty once thought that Tubo was a good people, and asked them to send troops to assist in the conquest of the Western Regions. There were not many soldiers, but Tubo could see the richness of the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty garrison was small, and the Gar father and son were greedy.

In fact, before this, Tubo began to make some small moves, first wooed Zhu Jubo, a small country, but the geographical location is very heavy, just stuck in Kunlun Mountain, and Shule, and for the Tang Dynasty to train the famous general Ge Shuhan, the second of the ten Turkic surnames Ge Shu Que Qi Jin, Ge Shu Chu Half Qi Jin is very close. Under the pull of Zhu Jubo, Shule saw that Tubo had conquered Yangnei, which was only separated by a snow-capped mountain, which was also ambiguous. But the Tang people don't know. In September of the fourth year of Xianqing, Ashina Helu's subordinate general A Xi Jieque and Jin Duman were dissatisfied with Khotan's pro-Tang Dynasty, and Shuai Shule, Zhu Jubo, and Thirsty Pantuo rebelled, broke through Khotan, and was quickly pacified by Su Dingfang. In fact, at this time, Tubo had already begun to play a disgraceful role, and the Tang people didn't know it!

In the second year of Longshuo, the Gongyue Department knotted Tibet in the south, moved to the north, and then attacked Shule, surrendered, and forced Khotan. In the third year of Longshuo, Gao Xian, the capital of Anxi, was the head of the march, and the soldiers shot the bow moon to save Khotan. In the second year of Linde, Shule and Gongyue, who surrendered to Tibet, led Tubo to invade Khotan, and Cui Zhibi, the governor of Xixi Prefecture, and Cao Jishu, the general of Zuo Wuwei, rescued Khotan. At this time, it is still the phase of stalemate. In the first year of Xianheng, he officially entered, forced Khotan to surrender, and wrapped Shule and Khotan to conquer Qiuzi, and Yanqi was near Tuyuhun and the last city, needless to say, it was lost. All four towns are in ruins!

But soon it was unhappy. is so poor that he has to strip off his clothes, so there is happiness under the rule of the Tang Dynasty? So many tribes rebelled.

In the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, Xiao Siye sent troops to Khotan, the soldiers did not arrive, and the king of Khotan, Fu Jiaxiong, entered the Tang Dynasty to see it, and took Wei Chi Fu Yanxiong as the governor of Bisha, and divided its territory into ten states. Then the initiator Gong Shule surrendered. In fact, Tibet is borrowing strength to fight, and it is too far away, and the troops are also not able to invest much. It was uncontrollable all of a sudden, and Khotan even drove the Tibetan soldiers out directly. Seeing this, Bai Suji, the king of Qiuzi, sent a horse and a silver Poluo, and asked to surrender. Li Wei stepped on the horse and it was given by Bai Suji. There is no town for the time being, but most of the four towns in Kansai have returned.

Inexplicably reversed, inexplicably descended, so Wu Zetian said that this was a confused account, don't take it seriously.

But it can't be taken seriously, once Li Shaluo broke through the Anxi Protectorate, the Western Regions were eroded again. Li Zhi thought about it, issued an edict, and immediately asked Wang Fangyi to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate first to stabilize the situation. As for Suzhou, I don't worry, there are Tibetans in the south who will fight back at any time, there are Turks in the north and west, and there are many Hu people in the local area, and I can't tell whether they are loyal or not. Therefore, an unprecedented order was issued to let Guo Yuanzhen serve as the governor of Suzhou, who was the champion and fought such a war again.

Guo Yuanzhen's good things have come to an end, he is only in his twenties, and he has suddenly become the governor of Suzhou! After the edict was given to him, he didn't believe it for most of the day.

Li Zhi still has some intentions, but he is the right person.

But with a breath in his heart, his condition became more and more serious, and Ming Chongyan went to Luoyang. He prescribed a medicine for Li Zhi, pretended to be, and performed some witchcraft. Wu Zetian called him over and said, "Mingqing, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't dare."

"Well, I heard about you in Xijing, and I like it very much."

"As long as the queen of heaven likes it, she is willing to smear her liver and brains."

"You don't have to pretend to be pitiful, you have a palace that knows it, and a meritorious palace knows it in your heart. Go back and rest. ”

"Yes."

But a few days later, Wu Zetian also fell ill, and in August, it was hot and cold, and as soon as Li Zhi fell, she dealt with more government affairs, and she had to serve Li Zhi, so she caught a cold. It's a human being, and it's going to get sick all the time. When Ming Chongyan heard this, he finally made up his mind in his heart and said: "Queen of Heaven, let the ministers have the courage to pinch the blood in your hands for you, it will help the wind and cold." ”

Wu Zenaïve didn't think that the patient would not be healed, so he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mingqing, do you still know how to massage?" ”

"A little bit of a meeting."

pressed it well, and his courage grew stronger, and he said: "The queen's illness is not due to wind and cold, but also to fatigue. ”

"What should I do, it's not okay if I'm not tired," Wu Zetian asked him to pinch it and said with his eyes closed.

"Let the minister decoct some medicine for the queen of heaven," he said, and finally took out the small balls. I don't have a bad impression of myself, I don't believe in the emperor's body, what else can I do. After letting the queen take the medicine for a while, she made some spells by herself to drive the subordinates away, and good things were there.

How long have you waited for this moment!

Wu Zetian still didn't expect him to be so bold, looking at him decocting medicine, well, this courtier is not bad. The medicine was decocted and was about to be drunk, Li Zhi walked in with a smile, Ming Chongyan was cured for several days, and his body recovered a lot. Believing in this evil, as long as Ming Chongyan gave him medicine, even if it was arsenic, it could make him recover physically.

asked, "What is Ming Qing doing here?" ”

"The queen of heaven suffered from the cold, and the minister gave the queen some medicine to decoction." I thought in my heart, it's a little bad, this medicine can't let the queen drink it right now, and my mind is spinning quickly. But I heard Li Zhi say: "Oh, these days, I have also suffered from the wind and cold. ”

"Then Your Majesty drink it, it just happens that the medicinal soup is cold," Wu Zetian brought the medicine bowl to Li Zhi's hand with concern.

Do you say you can't drink it?

Ming Chongyan couldn't think of an emergency move, and Li Zhi drank it in one go. Ming Chongyan cried in his heart!

: I saw that some book friends said that the four towns of Anxi have not been recovered until now. Before Wang Xiaojie guarded the official garrison of the four towns of Anxi, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo repeatedly fought and saw. Stuffed some information, also to write. There will be a lot of Anzai's content in the future, and if you don't write it out, you may not know much about it. But I'm probably obsessed with it too! I thought I was an iron man, but I was uncomfortable for the past few days, and the things that came out of the yard were not very good. It's going to be gaffe, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and it will be the beginning of next month. Let's take a sin first.
