In the edict, Linghu Zhitong (note) was first asked to send the troops of Fengxing and the two states to defend. It was not strange to start this order, and Linghu Zhitong followed Liang Jishou and Li Wei to make more achievements in the First Battle of Nanzhao. He has a certain amount of combat experience, so he is not a famous general, and his command ability cannot be regarded as mediocre.

Then let Li Xian lead the Luozhou pastor, and then lead the post of the marshal of the Taozhou Road march, Liu Xianli and others of the Ministry of Industry as the twelve governors, Li Xulun as the marshal of the Liangzhou Road march, and the left guard general Qi Bi He Li and others to ask for Tibet. The level of the ministers of the Twelve Governors is slightly lower than that of Li Wei's time, but there are also some bright spots, including Hongluqing Xiao Siye, who is conquering Goguryeo and preparing to fight for the Gongyue Department, and Pei Xingjian is also the head of the Left Second Army of Taozhou Province, and is subject to Li Xianjie.

It can't be said that there are no famous generals, whether it is Pei Xingjian or Qi Bi He Li, they are all the top generals in the Tang Dynasty now. Can these two marching marshals ...... Li Xian is better, what can the fourth child do? In the afterlife, are you in junior high school, or in elementary school?

After Li Wei heard it, he sat in the East Palace, in a daze. I'm stupid for this holy decree of Lao Tzu.

There is no need for him to ask, the third Li Xian and the fourth Li Xulun have already come to the East Palace.

Li Xianxing asked excitedly, "Big brother, can I go?" ”

It seems that he is very happy, thinking that as long as he sends out troops, he will be like Li Wei, and he will win the victory, and then lead the three armies back.

"Where?"

"To Shanzhou."

"It's okay to go, let me ask you, Tubo is mostly cavalry, and my Tang Dynasty is mostly infantry, if you march, how to deal with the attack of the Tubo army?"

"First surround the outside with Mo knife hands, then place them in the second row with archers, Mo knives cut the enemy's horse legs, and the bow and arrows shoot in the back."

"But the Mo knife is very heavy, and not many soldiers can use it, and even if there is, it won't be able to lift it for long. The Tubo people are just guerrillas, do not attack directly, keep going around in circles outside, and release arrows while going around in circles, after a long time, what should I do if I can't raise the knife in my hand? ”

"Big brother, how about bringing a lot of trebuchets and gunpowder, defending with Mo knives and bows and arrows on the outside, and attacking from a distance with trebuchets inside?"

"Even if there are a large number of ** and trebuchets, let me ask you again, the enemy is on horseback, will they quickly dodge when they see you throwing ** coming?"

"But the sound will frighten the horses."

"Even if you frighten the war horse, people won't fight you first, just harass. If you are on guard and only harass, even if you frighten the horses, the cavalry will still be able to leave safely faster than the soldiers. If you're not prepared, pounce on it and attack. Or you haven't let your guard down and have been on the defensive, will there be a time to cast light. So how are you good? ”

“……”

"This is just an example, let me ask you again, once the imperial court attacks with heavy troops, they are all soldiers from the east and north of the Guanzhong River, and when they reach the high ground, they will be plagued by the epidemic. I've said this before, and the military department has also sent people to prove the existence of the air plague. How are you good? ”

“……”

"Once the troops are dispatched, it is not a battle in the southwest, and it is possible to exceed 100,000 troops at every turn. It is impossible for these armies to march in one place, even in the southwest, and I often divide my troops into several routes, how do you plan to divide the troops? ”

“……”

"Third brother, you are still a little rabbit that plagues Zhongnan Mountain, or a little sparrow in Lishan, don't harm the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers."

“……”

"Third brother, it's not just you, when the troops were sent to the southwest, they were just a group of barbarians, and there were very few people and horses sent out in Tibet, so I went ahead and prepared. I didn't have a bottom in my heart, so I followed Pei Xingjian's advice. That's what happened. ”

"Then I might as well follow his advice."

"It's not that simple, even if you listen to it, you have to listen, if you go forward, Liu Shangshu has Liu Shangshu's thoughts, Xiao Yuqing has Xiao Yuqing's thoughts, Pei Shilang has Pei Shilang's thoughts, besides, the court is called the Twelve Governors, and they may not all go. How do you decide? ”

“……”

It's not that I underestimate the third child, I'm too young and I don't understand. I don't understand it, but I remember some knowledge of later generations, and I didn't reuse it because Pei Xingjian didn't have major battles before, nor did he look down on Xue Rengui because he failed, and I didn't despise Heizhi Changzhi because he was a Baekje person, and even tolerated Liang Jishou. And I have read some history books to some extent, and I remember some war examples, although they are on paper, they are definitely better than the third child.

Seeing that the third child had nothing to say, Li Wei turned his head and looked at Li Xulun, who was the big egg, Li Xulun shook his head and said, "Big brother, I don't have the idea of going." ”

"You still obediently dig out sparrow eggs, or fight crickets."

Li Xulun flattened his mouth unconvinced, while Li Xian grinned happily.

In fact, Li Wei couldn't figure out what Li Zhi was thinking, whether this was a statement or other intentions. But I don't understand it anymore, and I won't let the third and fourth leaders lead the army to fight. But my father doesn't know much about military affairs, and he has fought many times, and he has fought with Wenchen, and it's not that Wenchen can't fight, for example, Pei Xingjian is a famous Confucian general, but he specializes in art, and Wenchen is definitely not as good as a battle-hardened general. My father did a better job of this, and every time he went out on an expedition, he was a military general leading the troops and letting Wenchen rule the country.

Both civil and military, they all want to, but how many people can do it!

Whatever the intention, this decree was child's play.

……

Of course, whether it can be done or not, Li Wei doesn't count, his father thinks that the third and fourth are geniuses, and if they are not allowed to go on the expedition, the third and fourth will not dare to refuse.

Then Wu Chengsi invited Li Wei to go over to view the house.

Wu Zetian rewarded the original mansion of Mrs. Rongguo and Helan Minzhi to Wu Chenghei, but it was abandoned for a long time, so he allocated 5,000 yuan to renovate it. This also made Li Wei smile bitterly, the economy of the imperial court is not good, and he has worked hard and brought a lot of income to the imperial court, such as Pei Yan's salt and sugar tax, and he got more than 600,000 yuan last year. Or there is some income from customs duties, and there are others. From last autumn to the present alone, at least more than one million yuan of income has been added to the imperial court.

But I have to prepare to use troops against ***, and I have to use troops against Tibet, and I haven't fought yet, and the transfer of people and horses has cost a lot of economy. More than one million yuan is a huge wealth for an individual, and for the country, it is still very fast to use it. Poor Wei Hongji, in order to save money, when he was repairing the canal, he was careful in his calculations, and his abacus was not proficient, so his fingers were swollen.

Just for the decoration, it's 5,000 yuan......

It also illustrates the father's mentality towards the mother.

But he didn't say anything, cousin, so he came to the mansion of Zhou Guogong by appointment, and Wu Chengsi greeted him diligently, and said again and again: "Your Highness has arrived, and the minister feels full of brilliance." ”

Li Wei just smiled, thinking to himself, you are not Pengshu, except for the imperial palace in Chang'an City, there is almost no luxury more than your mansion.

But Wu Chengsi came to Chang'an for a period of time, and the minister had no good impression, nor was he evil, not like He Lan Minzhi's madness, nor did he have He Lan Minzhi's talent, so he was low-key, very attentive to everyone, and did not punch smiling people, since this was the case, the minister was not good at saying anything. But because he was low-key, he came to Chang'an, and many people paid attention to him, and gradually neglected him.

However, Li Wei didn't think so, and faintly felt that this Wu Chenghei, as well as Wu Sansi in the future, might be his future trouble.

Wu Chengsi welcomed Li Wei into the mansion, and some guests had already arrived. He began to set up a feast, and then clapped his hands, and let a group of slaves and maids come in and perform a dance. It's not that he forcibly robbed it from the people, nor did he buy it, it was all Wu Zetian who was transferred from the internal and external teaching workshops and rewarded it.

Wu Chengsi was also courteous and polite to Li Wei's wine, at least it seemed, he did it very politely. Full of wine and food, Li Wei said goodbye, returned to the East Palace, and was about to take a bath, Pei Yuhe stopped in front.

Li Wei asked strangely, "Little lady Pei, what are you going to do?" ”

"Concubine, concubine ......" Pei Yuhe blushed, and finally said: "Jiang Liangyuan has been pregnant for several months, and she can no longer serve His Highness to bathe. Let the concubines serve His Highness. ”

"You're the crown princess."

Pei Yuhe has been very quiet when he arrived in the East Palace, and he has not complained, but when he said that the crown princess, tears appeared in his eyes. But the little girl's action made Li Wei slightly moved, being a man, no matter what happens, your conscience can't be too bad. His eyes softened, and he looked at Bi'er again, and her belly gradually grew bigger, in fact, Li Wei also said it a few times, but Bi'er disagreed, and retorted: "Your Highness, you are ten months pregnant, and the concubine is only five or six months, so don't worry." In the past, when I was at home, I saw pregnant women who were pregnant for *** months and worked in the fields. And bathing His Royal Highness, the concubine felt down-to-earth in her heart. ”

is also used to it, and there is no other candidate, let other palace maids bathe for him, Li Wei can't let go. Wan'er and Wei Yue are a little younger, and they can't let go. Pei Yuhe, her heart was panicked, and she didn't even think about it.

Bi'er didn't speak, if Li Wei said, he could still say that the concubine's body could move. But the crown princess wanted to bathe the prince, and she didn't dare to fight.

Li Wei finally said: "Bi'er, you should try to work as little as possible in the future." Don't think about yourself, but also for the sake of the child in your belly. As for bathing, it's better to come alone. ”

"How can this be?" Bi'er and Pei Yuhe said in unison.

"Extravagance easily degenerates people, and loneliness does not want to fall."

But you are the crown prince after all, but Li Wei ignored them, walked in by himself, and began to take a bath in his clothes. But after a while, Bi'er quietly came in, and Li Wei said: "Didn't Lone say that you don't have to bathe Lone." ”

"But, but ......"

"No, let's get out."

"The concubine has one more thing to say."

"Say it."

"Your Highness, the crown princess is actually a good person."

"Well, Lone knows."

"But you ......"

"Is it too thin to treat her alone? Silly girl, it's not as simple as you think. She is not your family behind her, if that family is restless, even if Pei Yuhe is virtuous, the East Palace will not be peaceful. ”

Bi'er finally couldn't speak. As I grew up, I knew more. The crown princess is not only related to the East Palace, but also to the future harem. Let's just say that Queen Wang, Queen Wang's father Wang Renyou died early, but there is a famous uncle Zhongshu Ling Liu Zheng, who once forced Li Zhi to establish Li Zhong as the crown prince. If the mother's family keeps to themselves and does not anger the emperor, how can the emperor sit back and watch her being killed by the current queen.

This is part of the reason, and Pei Yan will be restless. In fact, in the final analysis, it was forced by his parents, and it didn't go as Li Wei wanted, Li Wei felt blocked in his heart, and it was always like a twisted melon.

……

Li Zhi made a ridiculous decree, but did not stop. In August, he posthumously crowned the ancestors and ancestors, and then crowned himself as the emperor, and Wu Zetian as the queen of heaven. But not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji was recovered, and his great-grandson Changsun Yi was the Duke of Zhao, and Xu Changsun Wuji was buried in Zhaoling.

Li Wei was not surprised by the previous will, his father wanted to deal with political affairs, but his eyes were not clear, and his health was not good, so he could only rely on his mother, and he was named a second saint very early. But when he heard the will soon after, he was so shocked that he dropped his teacup on the ground.

Then he muttered: "Could it be that my father is often sick because of his poor health, and his mind is sick and confused?" ”
