Wu Mao Xin, known as Yu Ji in ancient times. At first, the wooden tablets of the second Wu Chang were used to insert stones on the small side of the book to show that the matter was urgent, and when it was exhibited in the Tang Dynasty, there was no need for wooden tablets, only feathers were inserted on the envelopes. Chicken feather letters are generally only used to convey urgent military information. Ordinary things don't use chicken feather letters.

This piece of music in the form of a chicken feather letter has been unsealed, and Wang Ping'an opened it to look at it. See the end of the chapter, use cinnabar to batch red, and see that the handwriting is approved by Li Shimin. The reply was simple, ordering the army to conduct a large-scale exercise as a demonstration of deterrence.

Looking at the content of the recital, it turned out to be the military situation of the Turks. The content of the chapter is very long, and it can be summed up that the Tang army took advantage of the autumn harvest in Liaodong to send troops to plunder Goguryeo, so that the people in the Goguryeo countryside fled into the city, and there was no one in the countryside. After the Tang army withdrew, the tribes near Liaodong all ran to take advantage of the fire to loot and forcibly occupy the land of Goguryeo.

After the Tang Dynasty army retreated, the Goguryeo army immediately sent troops to drive away the tribes that came to occupy it, because of the tribes that were close to Liaodong. They all fought in silos, and there was no unified command. As a result, after several battles, they were defeated by the Goguryeo people and fled back to the grassland.

Although they were defeated, the herdsmen in the tribe still grabbed a large amount of property, and they were fine in Goguryeo. The enemy was all Goguryeo troops, but as soon as they returned to the steppe, the various tribes began to fight each other, you rob mine, I rob yours.

After the chaos and war, many tribes of herdsmen lost their cattle and sheep property, winter is approaching, the herdsmen have no materials for winter, the chaos will begin, the powerful tribes to say that those small tribes were scattered, the herdsmen had to go south. Guan, I want to try my luck in Datang.

Datang has always been very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and the more chaotic the grassland, the better. The defenders in various places firmly held the pass and did not allow the herdsmen to enter the pass. However, Datang also has prefectures and counties outside the Guan, but these prefectures and counties cannot withstand the impact of thousands of herdsmen, and the herdsmen are afraid that they will not survive this winter. In order to survive, he can only fight desperately and attack these states and counties outside the gates.

As a result, the surrounding areas of several states and counties were plundered, but fortunately, the herdsmen did not have a unified command and were not good at attacking cities, so no cities had been lost before this movement came, but the situation was not good.

In order to survive this harsh winter, they have to keep looking for and plundering those villages and towns that have not yet received news, so they must run faster than the people who reported the news from the Tang Army! In this way, they fought from east to west, and as a result, all parts of the border were tightened.

That's what this cannon says!

Wang Ping'an looked at it and thought to himself: "Isn't this kind of plundering method of herdsmen just guerrilla tactics, where they are weak, they will fight, they will run after fighting, and they will change places after fighting, and they will never stop, and they will not be able to catch up if they want to!" ”

He looked at Li Shimin's reply again and nodded, this reply is good. Let the border army exercise with great fanfare, to put it bluntly, is to scare those wandering herdsmen, so that they do not dare to approach the city pass, although these herdsmen are brave and good at fighting, but after all, they are all defeated people, and they are forced by the coming harsh winter. They will not dare to stay anywhere longer, and once they see that the Tang army is prepared, they can only leave.

Finding a piece of paper, he was going to make a draft of the reply first, and then when Li Zhi came, he asked him to copy it. Pick up the pen and face the situation. I can't think of a better way to deal with it. Li Shimin's reply is almost perfect!

Holding the pen and thinking for a long time, he made a reply, which is a supplement to Li Shimin's reply.

The herdsmen of the Turks or other tribes moved from east to west very quickly, but not for long. When winter comes, they will stop in one place and will not be able to move any further, and if the herdsmen in front of them stop, the herdsmen behind will not go any further. And this place must be relatively rich, otherwise the herdsmen would not dare to risk freezing and starving to death and stay here.

More and more herders are staying here. Under the persecution of the harsh winter, they will definitely take risks and carry out large-scale attacks on the prefectures and counties in this place, and at this time the herdsmen will no longer fight indiscriminately, and will appear to lead them to fight.

Then, this place should be the place where the Tang army assembled, and the border troops in various places should predict in advance where this place is, so as to prepare in advance.

After Wang Ping'an wrote this, he thought about it for a long time. Pick up the pen and write again. If you can't predict accurately, it doesn't matter, you can prepare it in one place first. Then guide the herdsmen to go, the more west this place is, the better, so that the herdsmen can hurry more, and when they get to the place, the herdsmen are already sleepy and lacking horses, such as the end of a strong crossbow, then the Tang army can wait for work, wipe them out in one drum, or subdue!

After writing the reply, Wang Ping'an was very proud. I have a good supplement to approve this supplement. has the means to win thousands of miles away, and he can be regarded as a genius at the level of Zhuge Liang!

Blowing the ink dry, he began to look at the following pieces again, replying one by one.

After a while, a little eunuch brought refreshments to Wang Ping'an, so that Wang Ping'an could satisfy his hunger, Wang Ping'an ate a lot, and after eating, he continued to approve Li Zhi's work. He is all-inclusive and very conscientious and responsible.

It took nearly a morning to approve all the pieces, and after waiting for a long time, at noon, Li Zhi was late.

Li Zhi entered the Chongxian Pavilion and saw that Wang Ping'an was waiting for him, so he sighed and said with a smile: "No disease, you came early today, did you eat, let's eat together!" ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's still early, it's noon." He stood up, saluted Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "I've been here for a while, and I haven't eaten yet." The minister is specially waiting to eat with His Highness! ”

Li Zhi was very happy, he arrived at the table, and when he saw so many movements, his face became bitter again. said: "It's only been a few days, and I've accumulated so many movements, when will this be approved!" Forget it, let's eat first, wait for dinner, squint for a nap, nourish your spirits, and then batch these Raushs! ”

Wang Ping'an sighed in his heart, looking at him is getting up from the net, this is about to eat, after eating, and then sleep, good life!

He smiled at Li Zhi and said: "These Zhangchen have already been approved, and they didn't write directly on it, they made a draft, Your Highness, you can copy it on it!" As he spoke, he handed a few pieces of paper to Li Zhi. Li Zhi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, you are still disease-free, you are considerate of Lonely, and I know that Lone doesn't like to see these Laoshzi things the most." Then let's have dinner later, and after Gu first finishes copying these, it will be fine in the afternoon, let's go out of the palace to play. ”

He sat down behind the table and copied them in order, one by one. Wang Ping'an stood aside and gave him ink.

After only copying a few chapters, Li Zhi became impatient and said: "No disease, or you can learn the font of Lone, and when you approve the chapter in the future, use the Lone font and write directly on it... Use the copy of the lonely road. It's too much trouble! Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "This," this is a little embarrassing, I'll approve the chapter for you. It's already a violation of the rules, if you follow your handwriting again, then don't talk about the emperor, just the ministers in the court, you have to fry the pot!

Li Zhi thought he was afraid that he would not be able to learn his handwriting. Pointing to the words he had approved on the cantata. Said: "You see, Lone's handwriting is very easy to learn, it is all in block letters, it doesn't take much effort on your part, you can practice it in a few days!" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "This is not very good. The emperor knows about it, and he will punish the ministers! ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "That's the same!" He looked down at the draft, then raised his head again, pointed to the draft, and said, "You see, some of these approvals are long and some are short." The long ones are easy to make flaws, and they are copied alone, and these short ones, only a few words, you can write them! ”

Wang Ping'an grinned, on the draft he drafted, there was only one long reply, and the rest were all things, so naturally the reply would not be long, if according to what Li Zhi said, then among these approvals, he only needed to copy one to do it, and the rest had to do it for him.

"Well, then! But what if the emperor shows up? Wang Ping'an was worried.

Li Zhi smiled: "If it appears." Let's just say that these replies were dictated by you and ghostwritten. Father Emperor appeared once. We'll not do it next time, it's harder. It's just a transcription from one road to another, and if it doesn't appear, we'll just keep doing it! ”

It's all said and done, and I won't agree again. Just didn't know how to lift, Wang Ping'an had to nod!

Li Zhi picked up his pen and began to transcribe the longest reply, that is, the one of the herdsmen at the border pass. He didn't look at the contents, but copied them as they went. The copy is quite fast, and it will be done in a few moments.

After copying, Li Zhi actually gave up the chair and let Wang Ping'an sit on his chair for approval. He himself said: "No disease, you are busy, go outside alone, you have been riding a lot of horses these days." Suddenly idle, it's a little uncomfortable! As he spoke, he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. I went to the yard to move my muscles.

Wang Ping'an shook his head helplessly, so he had to sit down. Simulate it on paper a few times, practice Li Zhi's handwriting, and then carefully copy it. Approve the recital for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi is lazy, and the font is also ordinary. It's not difficult to copy, but if you want to copy it all at once, time is not enough. Wang Ping'an had to practice several times on the paper before replying to a piece of music, and then write it on the piece, so that it took more time.

After a while, Li Zhi came back and said, "No disease, why haven't you finished the approval yet?" ”

Wang Ping'an was sweating, and thought: "It's still slow, if it's fast, it's going to show your feet!" He said, "There are so many pieces, if you want to copy them all, I'm afraid it will take at least an hour." I'm afraid of arsenic leakage! ”

"It's going to take an hour!" Li Zhi frowned and said, "No disease, now you know the hard work of Lonely, it takes too long to approve these pieces, and a lone batch of these will give you a headache!" ”

Wang Ping'an nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, Your Highness has worked hard, the minister didn't know it before, but now he has a deep understanding!" He said this, but he thought in his heart: "This is also called hard work?" You don't have to think about it, just copy it, and call it hard work, then what about me, I've become a coolie! ”

Li Zhi turned two *** on the ground with his hands behind his back, and said, "If you go to eat alone, I won't accompany you." You're busy with you, and I'll come back to see you after I've finished my meal! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Otherwise, how about His Royal Highness eat here, if the minister encounters something he doesn't understand, he can ask you at any time!" ”

Li Zhi said: "You will save all the things you don't understand, and when Gu comes back, we will answer them for you together!" With that, he turned and left. Halfway through, I felt embarrassed again, as if I had called Wang Ping'an like a donkey.

He turned around again and said, "After the meal is finished, I will bring you a few good dishes and make you feel good!" After saying this, he still didn't feel very interesting, and he said, "Why don't you call your cousin alone." Let her stay with you? "It's fun enough this time!

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, but don't worry, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better! He hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't you dare to bother my cousin, the minister should copy it alone, be quiet, and copy it faster!" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Okay, then it's up to you." It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! He had a point. He put his hands behind his back and left the temple.

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to sit down again, and then be a donkey!

After a long time, he still did not finish the recital, and Li Zhi did not come back, noon had passed, the sun turned west, and the afternoon was in the blink of an eye.

Temple of Manna.

Li Shimin was also approving the chapter, and Shi Zhongchen was accompanying him. In the past two days, Li Shimin's condition has improved slightly, and he has no more heartache, but he can't say that he is completely fine, and he still feels some chest tightness and dull pain. It's just not as serious as it was some time ago.

From the pile of concerts, pick out a few, Li Shimin said: "Go and send it to Zhi'er, let him approve it and send it back, as well as the pieces that have been sent over in the past few days." Also returned. In the past few days, he has been taking care of the affairs of the conference, but the serious business has been delayed. ”

Shi Zhongchen took over the recital and defended Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the prince is busy with the Olympics and has contributed a lot, which is also a serious matter!" ”

Li Shimin hummed and said, "Ask someone to send these pieces to him, and today's work will be finished today."

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly agreed, holding the chapter out of the hall, he wanted to send it himself, but he looked back at the emperor, the emperor is now reviewing the chapter, what if he sees something unpleasant again, what should he do if he gets sick? I'll have to take care of it myself!

He looked at the little eunuch and palace maid standing outside the hall, and suddenly a person appeared, beckoning: "Mei Niang, come here." ”

Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids stood outside the palace. They all stood in a daze, and when they heard Manager Shi greeting Wu Meiniang, they secretly turned their heads together. Looking at her, everyone's eyes were full of jealousy, and many people even thought in their hearts: "This little slut." Finally climbed to the head of the big steward! ”

Wu Meiniang heard Shi Zhongchen call herself, her heart was pounding, she usually scolded Shi Zhongchen, she used a lot of strength, Shi Zhongchen also "cared" about her, but this is also for the sake of her being a concubine, but she is usually called a Wugong person, and she has never been like this today, calling her Mei Niang!

Under the jealous gaze of everyone, she lowered her head. When I came to Shi Zhongchen, I heard Shi Zhongchen say: "You go to the East Palace and send these pieces to the prince." ”

After a pause, he said, "When you come back, you will go to Xitai to have a look, and if Wang Ping'an is there, ask him to come to our house." Then he commanded a few more words.
