Chapter 321: All the faces in the mirror have changed

After the big earthquake pass, it will arrive at the Wating River, and the east section of the city of Qinzhou will meet the water of the Lüyang River, and the river surface is wide.

A steady stream of troops came, not only the army, but also more supplies to Qinghai, so a very wide wooden bridge was forcibly erected over the river. Therefore, since ancient times, many ministers opposed the king's opening of the border, and the Tang Dynasty and Tibet had not yet started a war, and some of the material finances that had been accumulated in the treasury were soon empty again.

These are not something that Li Wei can control, so he waved his horsewhip and said, "Stop." ”

The trumpet sounded.

More than 10,000 soldiers immediately stopped their horses.

There was still a shortage of war horses in Chang'an City, and Li Wei used his power to forcibly transfer horses from all over the world, until he crossed the water, and reluctantly made every soldier allocate a war horse. But the speed of the march was still not fast, all the way to the west, with the help of various terrains, once again while marching, while training. There is another reason, that is, baggage.

This is also related to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, which did not have a large number of standing troops in the early Tang Dynasty, which of course saved expenses. During the battle, the soldiers of the government were sent by the Zhichong government. Most of these soldiers were peasants, and six horses were prepared for every ten people, which were not for riding, but for transportation, and they could not be expected to carry soldiers to rush and kill, so if they couldn't, they would use donkeys instead. Then the horses were prepared for eating, the tents, the cloth troughs for the horses to be fed, the shovels,?、 that is, the pickaxes of later generations, and the chisels, which were used in the work of fortifications. There is also a basket, which is used when making rice, baskets, for picking things, or for challenging loot, and sometimes picking people's heads when winning big victories, and then there are axes, tongs, saws, sickles when opening the way, two beds, reins of horses, halters, horses, and short fire spears, bows, arrows, quivers, horizontal knives, whetstones, leggings, and large guns, and then dry food. As for weapons and equipment such as armor, Mo knives, and crossbows, they were distributed after collection, and they had to be returned to the imperial court after the war. This is different from what I saw on TV in later generations, except for some special troops, most of the battles were not assembled before the assembly, and they were a messy mess, like a group of refugees.

These government soldiers farm when they are busy with farming and train when they are slack. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was full of martial arts, and its physical fitness was stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, which is also the reason. During the battle, the imperial court sent generals to Zhichong Mansion to recruit troops with the imperial court fish charm, and it was generally Captain Guoyi who went with the army. If it is a big battle, like this Qinghai Campaign, almost all the generals of Zhichong Prefecture are marching with the army.

However, the Folding Chong Mansion had begun to fall, and gradually there were no soldiers to recruit. This time, most of the soldiers were recruited from the conscription system that often appeared in later generations. Moreover, the campaign may have been very long, and most of the materials became borne by the imperial court. There are all kinds of soldiers, just like Li Wei's group of soldiers, many of them hold on to shovels, as baby bumps, and expect it to go home and continue to dig a few big turnips. Therefore, in addition to the necessary baggage, there are also materials brought by the government soldiers.

Before he arrived in Qinghai, looking at the group of soldiers under his command, Li Wei could imagine what the chaos in Qinghai was like now. But because of the power in his hands, Li Wei was very decisive, and some soldiers had not performed well and were eliminated directly. Rather lack than abuse. Some soldiers who performed well were immediately transferred. When I arrived in Qinzhou, it was a little more beautiful.

Standing in front of the wooden bridge, he began to arrange, dividing the soldiers into two sides, one side defending in the west of the river, and the other practicing crossing the river in the east of the river. There are many advantages to training the army in this way, and once a war starts, not only will it be an offensive and defensive war, but half of it will be waged in a sports war. It's very similar to a march. Moreover, this kind of non-stop practice has also tempered the real commanding ability of the generals. It's not Li Wei who sees it.

Guan Jian was the other generals who escorted the soldiers did not dare to do so. The date is tight, and if you can't catch it, you will be punished, and you will be punished with a cane at least and beheaded at worst. Don't dare to delay on the road. Even if the time is limited, there is no such financial resources, especially the cavalry, such an almost cruel actual battle, will from time to time break the war horse, in this era, horses and people are as valuable, dare to hurt? Wounded soldiers, even one or two who accidentally died, they did not dare to take responsibility. Not to mention that Li Wei forcibly eliminated some soldiers who did not perform well. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in order to prevent soldiers from evading military service, they were really sick, so they sent doctors to treat you, and they carried you to the front line with people. It's useless to have cancer, if you want to die, you will die on the front line, and you don't want to recuperate at home.

While the exercise was underway, several people ran over in the distance, and in the middle a person rode a small donkey, shouting from afar: "Where is Your Highness?" ”

Li Wei rode over, got off the horse, patted Ximen Chong's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Ximen Chong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are doing a good job in Qinzhou." ”

This time, the two granaries of Qinzhou and Longzhou, because a lot of grain was prepared in previous years, saved a lot of expenses for this expedition. Ximen Chong's performance in Qinzhou is remarkable.

"The minister doesn't dare to be, but Your Highness, why do you want to lead the troops in Qinghai?"

"Don't you want to be alone?"

"No, you are Your Highness, and you are learning the way of governing the country, not the way of civil and military affairs......"

"It's a long story, you'll find out later."

The horn sounded, and the exercises of the armies of the two sides began.

……

Luoyang Palace, the weather is hot, two palace maids fan for Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian said: "I miss Jiucheng Palace." ”

Jiucheng Palace is among several large palaces in the Tang Dynasty, and it is the best resort to avoid the office.

Li Shoucheng lowered his head and replied: "No, His Highness has just left Jingzhao." ”

"This palace knows, what is the situation outside?"

"Outside the country and the people, it's just, it's just ......"

"Say it, just what?"

"It's just that His Royal Highness King Yongwang revised the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and the voters are like clouds, and the Yongwang Mansion is full of people all day long. Each annotation was immediately disseminated by the literati and was called the best commentary on the Book of the Later Han Dynasty since ancient and modern times. ”

"The best annotation?"

"Slaves and maids don't necessarily agree, maybe this note is very good, but it's better not to, it's mostly praised by others. But the slave was worried. ”

"What are you worried about, this unfilial son is less than one-tenth of his eldest brother." But Wu Zetian frowned, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if Hong'er encountered something in Qinghai? Hong'er ascends the throne, and he has room to continue to maneuver, if this second child ascends the throne, he and himself will only end up in a dead end. Thinking of this, he said: "You go and call Pei Shilang, there are a few unresolved articles in this palace, please ask him to discuss." ”

"Whoa!"

It's not too fake, there are a few memoranda, she and Li Zhi didn't agree, they pulled out these memorials, and after a while, Pei Yan was brought in, and across the curtain, the two discussed state affairs. After the discussion, Wu Zetian ordered someone to bring tea and said: "Pei Shilang, the country has been peaceful for a long time, the government is harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is what the palace is happy about." However, the prince went to Qinghai for the sake of the country, and the palace was really worried. But a group of young people actually snatched King Yong...... I'm worried. ”

The spearhead is directed at Li Xian.

In fact, the people talked a lot about this matter, and it didn't mean that Li Xian was hateful, Li Zhi wanted to lift him, what would be the result of avoiding him? Even if he avoided it, his father had already carried it. The eldest brother will tolerate it, he can ascend to the throne of God later, will he tolerate it, if a villain turns this matter over, will he be unlucky? Li Xian also struggled for a long time in his heart. And the throne, Li Xian really doesn't want to? In addition, a group of staff members under him, as Wu Zetian said, also want to take the position. As an official and staff officer of the palace, it is just like this all my life. As a staff confidant of the future emperor, the career is just around the corner. The good people are afraid of three persuasions, and the bad people are afraid of three opinions, so they break with the eldest brother step by step.

The people may not know, but as Pei Yan, they know it. Hugh said that Pei Yan, even Li Wei guessed what his father's plan would be when his father moved a few prime ministers to the left, and sighed, this time the brother had no way to do it.

Wu Zetian turned this matter out, not for Li Xian's various actions, after finishing speaking, he looked at Pei Yan's expression through the curtain. In fact, this curtain is just a look, a silk curtain or a bead curtain, the person behind the curtain can see the front of the curtain, and if the person in front of the curtain is bold, he can also see behind the curtain.

"Your Majesty's martial arts are no less than Emperor Taizongwen, but there is no ring to punish Emperor Wen, and the court has been arguing for the past two years, and the ministers are also very worried."

"Yes, this palace has heard a long time ago that you have a noble character, and you are the most outstanding disciple of the Pei family. Later, as an official, no one can match you in terms of competence, Jun is the pillar of the country, and the country is eventful, and I hope you will work harder. ”

"The minister must live up to the trust of the queen of heaven."

"Okay, then retreat."

Looking at his departing back, Wu Zetian suddenly laughed, and Li Shoucheng asked, "Queen of Heaven, why are you laughing." ”

"Bengong is laughing, why is Hong'er reluctant to get close to this person."

"Why?"

"This man is unpredictable."

“？？？” Li Shoucheng's face changed, this is not right, he is unpredictable to the prince, maybe he does not support the prince, and he is also unpredictable to the queen of heaven, does he support Li Xian? But you can't use the adjective unpredictable with your heart.

"But Hong'er is rotten to the bottom, how can there be a dispute between good people and bad people in this world, if you use it well, you are a good person, and if you use it badly, you are a bad person. The more this kind of person, as long as he can control it, it is better than anyone else. Speaking of this, a confident smile rose at the corner of his mouth, his heart is unpredictable, it's too tender! After thinking about it, he said again: "It's time, you call the Jin Nei servant in the East Palace." ”

The matter of the East Palace, she secretly investigated for a long time, and finally found out some eyebrows, originally before this line was clear, she didn't plan to move. But it's eventful, I don't want any more accidents in the East Palace, it doesn't matter how many girls have a relationship with their lives, the important thing is Hong'er's son, and nothing can go wrong. In the end, someone will inevitably do something to Li Lu. But her son also has something she doesn't like, taking people as their appearance, and several girls in the East Palace are not deep in their minds and can't protect the peace of the East Palace.

"Whoa!"

Li Shoucheng was brought over after a while.

Wu Zetian didn't let him get up, and shouted: "This palace heard that you are in the East Palace and have done something unfavorable to the prince. ”

"The Queen of Heaven, yes, yes, it was His Majesty who forced the slaves." Li Shoucheng fell to the ground in shock, could it be that these two people are not the same heart?

"Hong'er is not thin on you, why should you betray him?"

"The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid are unwilling, but Your Majesty wants to behead the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid have to obey Your Majesty."

"So you told Your Majesty everything about Hong'er? Including the fact that he deliberately purchased some industries for the sake of the country and the community, and operated them by the Golden Pillar and Earth Horse. This is Hong'er's move in order to find a way to make money for the society, and he is afraid that the ministers will oppose it. But you don't know, let Your Majesty be careful, so there are many incidents, don't you? ”

Li Wei asked Wu Zetian at that time, and Wu Zetian was also puzzled. When she was in Luoyang, the family of three was also happy, although Xu Jingzong was killed by her son, which made her dissatisfied. But the husband should be satisfied, but the husband turned his face inexplicably. This made her equally puzzled.

It took a long time to find out this Jin Nei Servant.

Wu Zetian also guessed wrong, and at first he had the same idea as Li Zhi, thinking that his son's arrangements were a bit ill-intentioned. However, when a sum of money is used, there are a few who strengthen their own strength, self-preservation, as a prince, if you don't do this, this prince doesn't do it. But most of the money, a sum of money in the name of donations and tribute taxes, re-entered the treasury, and in the spring, another 50,000 yuan was taken out, and Wu Zetian and Li Zhi's suspicions were gradually relieved.

If the plot is not treacherous, how many dead soldiers do you have to support with so much money?

But he didn't expect that Li Wei had never had the idea of rebelling, and he could do a lot of things with money. But its intention is still not here, to help the country, to have the ability to help Li Wei or to help, mainly for a back road. Even Wu Zetian's IQ is as high as 300, and he didn't expect that his son would always want to run away.

Without reminding him, if his son makes a mistake in employing people, he will have to pay the price, and he will only calculate how to seek greater benefits by being in the middle. However, this chess piece is placed in the East Palace, and it is not suitable now. The most terrifying thing is that he is deeply respected by his son, holding the power of the East Palace, and several stupid daughters-in-law believe in him.

Jin Neishou sweated out, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's not good to be a slave." ”

Wu Zetian took a long time before he said: "This palace wants the East Palace to be peaceful now, do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

"Stand down."

"Whoa." Jin Neishou carefully retreated and returned to the East Palace.

Bi'er greeted her and asked worriedly, "Jin Neishi, what did the queen of heaven say when she called you over?" ”

"No, nothing." Jin Nei returned to the house without a master, and after being in the palace for a long time, how could he not hear that the queen had made a killing move, and he was just hesitating at this time. Just don't kill yourself, the emperor, the queen, the prince, and because the handle was caught by the villain of Ming Chongyan, he threatened from time to time, thinking of this, he stayed and looked at the big bronze mirror in the room, which was given to him by the prince, the person in the mirror had no beard, but his temples were white, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he suddenly whispered to himself: "You are also old, why bother to linger in the world......"
