When the first edict came down to Qinghai, Li Wei was not there.

Di Renjie was in the letter, afraid that Li Wei would be worried, so he didn't say much about Shangguan Wan'er. The mother re-whipped Shangguan Wan'er, but Li Wei did not know. But what can be seen from the letter, Pei Xingjian didn't see it, thinking that it was just a coincidence. I didn't know the environment of the palace when the East Palace had an accident, and I thought that King Yong was mad.

Li Wei didn't see it that way, anyone could ignore Shangguan Wan'er's wisdom, he didn't ignore it. vaguely guessed that this was a trap set by Shangguan Wan'er. It's hard to ask, but I know that my father will definitely order him to return to Beijing soon.

Otherwise, if you don't edict again, you will announce this matter to the three armies, and when the military situation is agitated, you can still forcibly return to Beijing. But this kind of result is something he doesn't want to do.

At worst, it is a bad start, and at worst, there can be a civil war.

Then he waited for the news, made some arrangements, attacked again, led his army, crossed the Chiling, and went south, through Niuxindui to the Chihai, and then to Dafeichuan, not for the purpose of plundering. After several attacks, Dafei Chuanshang has become a barren land, but the grass grows very luxuriantly, maybe in a few months, the sky will be blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. It's just that there are not a few tribes in sight.

The main purpose of this sortie was to integrate the party's troops.

The party members are brave, but the brave ones are individuals, and the overall lack of cooperation, so the combat effectiveness is not strong.

returned to Shanzhou City, and the edict for him to return to Beijing was issued.

He summoned Heiya Changzhi and Li Jinxing to Shanzhou to discuss matters, and the two stayed in Qinghai in the future, the main purpose of which was to prepare for war. But the interior is also more important. To give some advice, Pei Xingjian said: "Your Highness, don't stay, go back quickly." ”

Li Zhi wrote the edict slowly, but Liu Ren's letter arrived in Qinghai ahead of schedule, so he said these two words and returned quickly.

Li Weixin made it very clear that Qinghai wanted to maintain the status quo, not to damage the national strength, and to continue to fight, when it occupied the right time and place, and there was a scandal in the inner palace, but Li Zhi hesitated. If you want to build Qinghai, you are not afraid, you are afraid of the emperor's heart, and you still don't want the prince to come back.

Once the matter is over, Li Wei will not be summoned back to Beijing. Maybe after a while, after thinking about it, I can support the third Li Xian to take the position. Some are messy. Therefore, it is said that it is quick to return, and it is late to worry about changes.

Hei Tooth Changzhi also persuaded: "The minister knows His Highness's plan in his heart, if he does not do well, His Highness can point out the wrongness of the minister through correspondence, and the minister can correct it." Your Highness, let's go back. ”

At the beginning of April, the emperor arrived in Luoyang again and rushed to the eastern capital, almost approaching May. Time drags on, and the queen's strength increases, which is not easy to say, but Hei Tooth Changzhi and others are also anxious.

"Then General Heizhi, General Li, Qinghai is handed over to you." After Li Wei finished speaking, he and Pei Xingjian immediately took five hundred guards and went on the road.

After hearing this, the party departments wanted to come and see each other, but Li Wei had already left. Then beat his chest and smacked his feet and howled loudly. Hei Tooth Changzhi had to be comforted, knowing that he might be reluctant. If you are encircled, you will get a lot of benefits, at least not as much as before, and bear the heavy exploitation of the Tibetan people. Even Xu Xiang people, learning from the farming of the Central Plains, also cultivated some fields, planted wheat, planted hemp, and the harvest did not come up, but life will be better in autumn. There were also clever party members who took advantage of the preferential policies of the Tang Dynasty for a few tribes to trade with the Han people and make some small money.

Life will not recover for a while, and there may be a bright future.

But in their actual hearts, if they still want the prince to return to Beijing, it is best to serve as the emperor immediately. Only when the crown prince served as emperor, the Tang Dynasty's policy towards the party would not change. Therefore, this howl, there are some true, some false, and it is not easy to say.

A few words of consolation, let them disperse.

Hearing this news, Mo He and Ronzanpo breathed a sigh of relief in Tuyuhun City. The god of killing has finally returned. One tribe after another came out of the valley, and the hellish life was coming to an end. In fact, this idea is wrong, and the black tooth is not at all softer than the prince's wrist.

Black Tooth Changzhi has not moved, waiting to see how the situation develops.

Five hundred people marched out of Qinghai, all the way, and the people cheered all the way. Especially when it came to Chang'an City, the people of the whole city were a sensation. I have been looking forward to the prince's return, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. This time, Li Wei did not keep a low profile and secretly entered Chang'an City. Generously from Xianyang, cross Weishui, and enter Chang'an.

Under the watchful eye of the people, they entered the city. Then came to the harem and went to find the second child Li Xian.

This is also not in line with the system, but the prince came with coercion, and the servants did not dare to stop it. came to a quiet and cold palace in Daming Palace and met Li Xian.

After being locked up for more than a month, he was hit hard again, his face was haggard, and he could no longer see the appearance of the beautiful young man he was at the beginning.

I don't know whether it's disgust, or sympathy, or hatred, or pity, but I have mixed feelings and ask, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

At this time, there were no more delusions, and Li Xian replied honestly: "Big brother, I saw that Shangguan Wan'er was Yunying's body and talented, so I sympathized and loved her, and I fell in love. ”

Li Wei didn't denounce it, he didn't remember much, but in history, Li Xian once admired Shangguan Wan'er. But later, Shangguan Wan'er did not do very well, and personally wrote an edict to punish him. It shows that the second child is affectionate, but Shangguan Wan'er has never had much affection for him.

History is changing, and Shangguan Wan'er is emotionally moved for him. It's just that it's not a virgin, why do some people recognize it at a glance, but they don't have that ability? Of course, if someone can recognize it, you can't ask yourself. You are the crown prince, the future emperor, what do you learn to identify a virgin, and what do you do?

Keep listening to what he has to say.

"I found Duan Fuqing," acquiesced, after Li Zhi left Chang'an, he brought three or four Fanzi, but Duan Fuqing was low-key and didn't know many people, only one Fan General recognized him. But it's enough. He is blind, and he actually uses the important advisers under the Tubo Theory to seek ministers for himself, isn't he looking for death? Continue to say: "He asked me to instruct Zhang Da'an to propose that Shangguan Wan'er enter the inner palace to take charge of the edict. Shangguan Wan'er gave me half a push, otherwise that day, I would not have done such a bold thing in the inner palace. Then she called out ......"

I am responsible, and I have fallen for your little concubine.

"Even if you are willing this time, let me ask you again, use a henchman, can't you remember to check his details? Knowing no, the Tubo people have already begun to build a card in advance in the Purple Mountain Pass. ”

"So I'm inferior to you, I lost."

It's a shameful statement, and I'm disheartened anyway.

"Even if you don't know how to use people, why buy Zhang Guidong, tens of thousands of lives. If it weren't for my luck, the whole army of Qinghai would have been defeated because of you this time, do you know? But when he had said that, he shook his head and got up to leave.

For himself, for the Qinghai Army, it is good luck. For his second brother, he was unlucky. There is no way to make sense.

"Big brother, wait a minute."

"What are you going to say?"

"Big brother, I lost and was wrong, but I have something to say, whether I'm right or not, but you have to guard against your mother."

"I know," you didn't know until now. Just as he was about to leave, Fang Shi said again: "Your Highness, go slowly." ”

Li Wei had no choice but to stop.

Fang suddenly knelt down and cried: "Big brother, this time His Royal Highness King Yong is at fault. But it turns out that your brothers have a harmonious relationship, but His Majesty is bent on supporting King Yong, and he is restricting you, and there are many groups of small people who want to take the opportunity to take the throne and repeatedly bewitch. King Yong did these rebellious things. I also hope you can see that in the past brotherhood, forgive King Yong's mistakes. ”

If there are no accidents, the crown prince's ascension to the throne is inevitable. The life and death of her husband are all in the prince's thoughts.

"I don't know." Li Wei said it directly. Even if he could forgive him, the Qinghai generals would not be convinced. It also set a bad precedent for the future of the Tang Dynasty in the future, leaving a hidden danger. He also said: "Besides, how to deal with the second brother in the end is not up to me at present." ”

After speaking, return to the East Palace.

When the newly promoted Liu Si saw him, he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, it's great that you are back, save Liangyuan." ”

Di Hui and Di Renjie didn't know the conversation on the road, but when they were leaving, the news they got in the East Palace was different, good and bad, I don't know if it was true or not, but after Shangguan Wan'er was heavily flogged by Wu Zetian, she was locked up in the harem, and she didn't even see a figure in the East Palace.

Only then did Li Wei know about Shangguan Wan'er's beating, and he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Gu knows it, and he will go to the Eastern Capital immediately." ”

……

Li Zhi also got the news of his son's return.

Before this, the Tang Dynasty ushered in several good news. First of all, the Sanmen Canal was completed as desired, and the huge cost before and after finally gnawed down this difficult Cao Yun. On the day of completion, Li Zhi may have had a lot of things in his heart, and it may be because he had eaten too much medicine given by Ming Chongyan, and his health was not very good. still led the civil and military ministers to watch.

Several waterways are divided, and the current is no longer as turbulent as before, of course, it is still very urgent, after all, this section of the river is originally very narrow, and either all the two islands are dug up, or dug away, and the depth is not enough. Sanmen River and three newly opened rivers, the river still set off white waves. Therefore, there is still a need for slender men on the shore, but it is much better than the original difficulty. Accidents will continue to occur, and the accident rate will drop significantly.

Then the Danshui Canal brought some river water, and there were some small ships that could sail directly to Shangzhou. This has to be divided into two steps, after the autumn, we will start to divert water, and then dig the Zhengdang Canal, open up the Zhengdang Canal and the Danshui Canal, and it will take at least three years to complete.

But it's good news.

Then Hu Ying led envoys from various countries to Luoyang, saw Chang'an, and saw Luoyang, and finally knew why the Tang Dynasty was a golden country. Then worship Li Zhi. In this regard, Li Wei does not attach much importance to it, and it is useless to ask for a false name. But at this time, the officials took it very seriously.

A series of good news made the Tang Dynasty like a fire cooking oil and flowers blooming.

Li Zhi immediately rewarded Hu Ying with a marquis.

But when he arrived in the harem, he didn't feel good in his heart, although the historian would record these exploits in his ruling name, but in fact, he knew in his heart that all this, including the victory in Qinghai, was brought by Xiao Wu.

Then I heard Xiao Wu rushing to the east in the cheers of all the people.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is coming back, why aren't you happy?" Wu Zetian asked.

"Nope."

"There is one thing, the concubine has always wanted to report to His Majesty, but she didn't dare."

"What's the matter?"

"It's Hao Chujun......"

"Hao Qing, what's wrong with him?" Li Zhi asked. Although Hao Chujun fell to Xiao Wang, he was outspoken and talented, and it was Li Zhi who picked him up and regarded him as his own Wei Zheng. Li Zhi attached great importance to him, and when he heard his wife pointing the finger at Hao Chujun, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Wu Zetian said what happened that day, and said: "It's nothing, he only remembers Hong'er, which can be regarded as loyal, and the concubine is too talkative." ”

Very alert, see the good immediately accept it, stop and don't say. But just a few simple words did the trick......

: If there is something to do during the day, the two watches will be made up at night. Tomorrow will continue the small explosion.
