Before dawn, Lu Fei was woken up. The palace maid beside the bed www.biquge.info the pen and fun pavilion cautiously emphasized that "the emperor told the slave maid last night to wake you up, the slave maid ......"

Lu Fei said in a daze: "I remember. ”

In the early summer morning, it was still a little cool. It's very warm in the bed, not to mention that there is a soft wife in his arms, Lu Fei really doesn't want to get up; But if you can't afford it, your heart is not steady, the imperial power gathers the rise and fall of the world, the country is prosperous, and the billions of people in the dark have suffered a great disaster.

After a little entanglement, Lu Fei gritted his teeth and sat up first.

"Husband...... didn't hide the black cloud, turned over and hugged his legs.

"I'm going to meet with the ministers in a while, and if it's late, it will affect the daily office of the ministers." Lu Fei said, "I'll get up first." ”

I didn't hide the black cloud "um", and I was still half-asleep.

Lu Fei's mood at this time was not very good, he thought that a nap would regain his vitality, but in fact, sleeping was not resting. At this point he does everything, and his intuition just maintains a habit and inertia.

He put his palm on his cheek, which was not covered by the black cloud, and looked at her slightly fluttering eyelashes, and liked her face very much. Lu Fei thought again: My wife and children are my own, and everything I work hard to do is also a responsibility that I can't shirk.

He got rid of the mess and got up to wash.

The palace people brought breakfast up, and the eunuch Wang Fang on duty also rushed over. Lu Fei asked him to read the people he had arranged to summon today and the things he had to deal with. Lu Fei's attention has shifted to official business...... In particular, the expansion of the scale of firearms manufacturing in the workshop area, the recruitment of craftsmen, the construction of new cities and other things, these things are in charge of Dai Xiong, every link related to the overall situation, are very important, firearms have been circulated out, this is not important, what is expected, no matter how to prevent it is in vain, as long as it can ensure that the firearms of the Datang Forbidden Army are the most advanced.

Wang Fang finished reading the words written in the book, waved his hand, and retreated from the palace maids. bowed his head next to Lu Fei and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a small matter that the slave maid doesn't know whether to talk about or not......

Lu Fei glanced sideways slightly and nodded. Since the eunuchs had spoken, of course they decided to say it to the emperor.

Wang Fang pondered for a moment, as if he was pinching his words, and then whispered: "The slave maid heard a secret report that there was a rumor in the harem, and said...... There are men in the Empress Dowager Zhou's bedroom, and this rumor has been spread for a while. "Actually, it's not a matter, Wang Fang and Lu Fei both understand who this man is, it's none other than the emperor himself, Wang Fang said this as a rumor, it is changing the law to curry favor, who doesn't know the relationship between the Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor, sooner or later the word 'Tai' will have to be removed, but no one will mention this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and the emperor is even more unlikely to mention it, how can you mention it? I have taken a fancy to the concubine of the first emperor, and now that I have inherited the throne of the first emperor, I will carry forward my style and inherit his woman with a little hand, isn't this nonsense?

"Smack!" Lu Fei threw his chopsticks heavily on the table all of a sudden, and his face was pulled down.

Wang Fang's body trembled, and he hurriedly bent down and stood at his side.

Lu Fei said angrily: "Are those people full of food and have nothing to do!" ”

Wang Fang hurriedly said: "As long as the emperor gives an order, the slave maid will immediately ask the people of Jinyi Wei to secretly investigate who is talking nonsense, and all of them will be arrested and listened to the emperor's fate." ”

Lu Fei suddenly realized what the consequences of his anger would bring, he took a deep breath and said, "I don't care about the harem, you ask the queen first." ”

"Whoa." Wang Fangdao, he thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Zhou, Empress Dowager ......"

"Say!" Lu Fei has been waiting for a suitable opportunity, and this will, even if it is almost a year, he has not waited for it.

Wang Fang said a little nervously: "The Queen Mother is happy...... The doctor and the slave who knew the news had already been put into custody. ”

"What?"

……

In the secret room of the Long Live Palace, there were only two people in it, Lu Fei and the eunuch Zhou Jiuzhi.

Zhou Jiuzhi bowed down and stood in front of the chair, and sat on the chair to land Fei. Lu Fei was talking: "It's not appropriate for me to come to handle the affairs of the harem, and there are some things that the queen should come forward. I thought that I couldn't condone the palace people to spread rumors in the palace, just to let everyone understand the rules, otherwise the palace people would dare to slander the reputation of the queen mother......"

Zhou Jiuzhi hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is extremely true. ”

Lu Fei felt that he had understood, in the past, there were people in the palace who talked about Zhou Wei behind his back because of the spread of 'the heroine in power', but this matter is not good to be punished in a big way on the surface, otherwise he will want to cover it up.

Lu Fei pondered for a moment, patted the military strategy that the privy envoy Pan Mei had just presented in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I still have to maintain the reputation of the Queen Mother." The foundation of the Empress Dowager Zhou is in Jiangnan, her reputation in Jiangnan is very important, when I became the emperor, the children of Jiangnan made great contributions, and I could not let the people of Jiangnan disappoint the Empress Dowager Zhou. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhou Jiuzhi nodded earnestly.

After a while, he carefully reminded again: "Your Majesty, if you want to maintain the Queen Mother...... I'm afraid it's really not clear in the future. ”

Lu Fei said: "Even if it is an ancient emperor, from Qin Shi Huang to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who is not scolded?" It's really hard for a person to have no scolding at all. It's good to look down, let others say it, anyway, I'm not afraid of scolding, and I can't do anything about scolding two sentences, it's better to just wait for the day than to hit the sun, this time I made it clear at one time, Zhou Wei is my woman, I have the final say, I want to leave a reputation for eternity, I can afford it. ”

Zhou Jiuzhi hurriedly said: "The emperor is sage." ”

Lu Fei said in his heart: Shengming is a fart!

Lu Fei suddenly sighed. He really wants to make this world fair, black and white, good and evil; But I'm also doing something for the sake of something, completely ignoring right and wrong.

……

At the gate of the Baoci Palace, a group of eunuchs walked quickly.

The thin eunuch with gray sideburns stepped forward and looked up at the people in front of the palace gate. One of the eunuchs who was guarding the upper floor looked down, and with an "ouch" sound, he jumped up from his chair and rushed downstairs, and he accidentally fell on the wall ladder, and while screaming in pain, he didn't care about the pain, and crawled to the door.

"Grandpa Zhou!" The eunuch bent down and smiled, and the corners of his mouth cracked because of the pain, and his expression was very strange, "Father-in-law Zhou is here, what kind of wind blew your old man here......

Eunuch Zhou Jiuzhi looked at Tiandao: "There is a will." ”

The crowd fell to their knees in a hurry.

Zhou Jiuzhi immediately claimed to be ordered by the Holy Decree to inquire about the rumors. Then he rushed in a bunch of female soldiers of the brocade guard, and arrested people when they saw them in the Baoci Palace, and then Zhou Jiuzhi pointed to the eunuchs and a group of palace maids and eunuchs here: "Among you, some people fabricate incidents and spread rumors to slander the reputation of the Queen Mother, can you be guilty?" ”

The little palace maids were so frightened that they couldn't speak, they only knew that they were wronged.

This matter is not wronged, there is indeed a man here, but no one knows who the man is, and the gossip is really not wronged, blind, and he has no eyesight strength when he is on an errand in the palace, and he has lived very hard.

The prison in the inner palace is rising, but if it weren't for the little palace maids and eunuchs who had served Zhou Wei, they were all thrown into Yanfu Palace, and it may be more difficult to get out of this life than to ascend to the sky.

Immediately, an edict came from the inner court, the queen mother wanted to become a monk, wear hair in the palace to practice, the law name Huijing, pray for the Tang Dynasty, a month later, Kou Zhun was the first to write a book, saying that the sky is auspicious, the winter is cold, the earth is frozen, but the Bianhe River is endless, so that the palace needs to be used without any delay (most of the materials in the palace are transported through the Bianhe), which is all Huijing's blessing and so on......

A few days later, the recital praising Zhou Wei flew into the palace like snowflakes, and gradually some people saw the signs, it seems that someone has to do this beautiful thing that pushes the boat down the river and becomes an adult.

Soon, Zhou Wei was given back to the world, still living in the palace, and soon after, he was honored as the queen, and he was respected as the east and west palaces together with the black clouds that were not hidden.

……

In the next year, news came from the southwest, and 100,000 townships were successful, and he immediately asked someone to find out Pan Mei's recital book before, and picked up the pen to write two words on Pan Mei's strategy: quasi-musical.

Pan Mei is a privy envoy, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, he is worried about the use of troops in the southwest, and the other person is doing things on the ground in the southwest, and that person is Cao Bin. It's time for Shu to return to the embrace of the motherland.

Lu Fei decided on this matter, and stood up again and reflected back and forth a few times. Then he paced to the edge of a large picture on the wall, and his eyes subconsciously stared at the place in Youzhou.

…… In the north of Youyun, there are two big characters written: Liaoguo. A large area occupies a large area of paper, as if a huge dark cloud is pressing down on the map! It made Lu Fei feel inexplicably under pressure in his heart.

Below, the area of Datang is the largest, but the surrounding lines are complex, and some places are just surrendered.

Lu Fei decided that the two great powers would eventually divide in the land of the Youyun Prefectures. This piece of land is related to the fortune of the country; This land is about a sense of security. It doesn't matter who it belongs to, it's just that neither country can afford to throw it away.

If the Central Plains abandons the clouds, it will be like a person with his chest exposed in front of a strong enemy who is stubborn; If the Liao State abandons Youyun, it will lose a large supply of agricultural and urban materials that can withstand blood transfusion, and there will be no more bases for attacking the Central Plains, and it will soon degenerate into a pure grassland people.

The Northern Expedition at the beginning of this year ended quickly, and it is possible that both sides found it impossible to cut through the mess and simply settle the place; A temporary truce is brewing for a bigger competition!

Lu Fei looked at the large dark cloud-like place above his head, wondering what the Liao Kingdom was doing now...... It can be guessed that they are also busy dealing with internal problems.

And Lu Fei is now busy solving internal problems and trying to accumulate more strength. The two countries will compete in the sixteen states of Youyun in an all-round way, but the battlefield is not limited to the front line, and the internal and underlying problems are the key.

Of the two major events decided at the beginning of this year, Lu Fei has high hopes for one of Pan Meiban; He turned his gaze to the southeast again...... It was a blank space, and the person who drew the map didn't know much about the specific situation, so he left it blank, because it was too far away, and if Lu Fei still had some memory of the modern map and hadn't forgotten it, it should be Vietnam, oh no, it should be South Vietnam now.

At this moment, Kou Zhun stood up from his chair, walked behind the screen, and said with his fists clenched: "Your Majesty, look at this recital, Lu Guangxiao is back." ”

"Oh?" Lu Fei was looking at the blank space in the northwest, and the news of Lu Guangxiao happened to come. Turn around at the moment.

Kou Zhun handed over the piece and said, "Lu Guangxiao has returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and this piece was sent back from Chenzhou Kuaima. ”

Lu Fei said: "As soon as Lu Guangxiao returns to Bianjing, he immediately welcomes him into the palace to meet. ”

……

Half a month later, Lu Guangxiao, a young civil official in his twenties, finally rushed back to Bianjing. He reined in his horse and stared blankly at the majestic Bianjing Tower, towering over the field like a mountain, and the long city wall was like a great wall.

Lu Guangxiao's heart was sour at this time, he couldn't say a word, his eyes were moist, and he gritted his teeth before he felt a salty feeling in his throat.

When he went, he brought with him a team of more than 100 guards and missions, as well as various honor guards, and there were still two people left at this time. changed into a gray cloth coat, and in order to rush back as soon as possible, he slept in the wind and ate all the way, his unkempt face was dusty, and he was so thin that his cheeks were a little sunken. The young talents of the past seem to be ten years older at the moment.

The purpose of his trip to Nanyue is nothing more than to convey the holy decree of the Tang Dynasty and tell the king of Nanyue that we have a new monarch in the Central Plains, and those who know each other should come to worship the dock, otherwise as soon as the Tang Heavenly Army arrives, the small state will be broken and the jade will be burned, but it is the angel of the Tang Dynasty who returns in embarrassment.

Lu Guangxiao stretched out his hand and touched his chest, touched something, then took a long breath, kicked the horse's belly and said, "Brother, go home, drive!" ”

When he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, and a young general looked Lu Guangxiao up and down, and then saw him leading the horse, and asked, "What are you doing in the city?" ”

Lu Guangxiao hurriedly took out the seal letter from the horseback and said, "I am an official of the imperial court......

At this moment, a young military general covered in bright clothes and armor said loudly: "Lu Envoy Jun, this general is the commander of the inner hall and the envoy Du Jiaquan, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

Lu Guangxiao turned his head to look and saluted with his fists.

Du Jiaquan said: "Please! ”

Lu Guangxiao led the horse through the hole in the wall, and saw two columns of cavalry lined up on the side of the road, and Du Jiaquan said loudly: "Welcome Lu Envoy back to the court!" ”

All the soldiers neatly drew their swords and raised them, shouting Du Jiaquan's words loudly.

Lu Guangxiao was quite surprised, his heart was warm, and he was very excited. He was taken to a carriage in a little dazed, and Du Jiaquan invited him to get into the carriage and said, "The emperor sent me to meet Lu Envoy and want to see you as soon as possible." ”

Lu Guangxiao didn't have time to prepare, and was taken to the imperial city as soon as he entered the city. The emperor himself opened the way and immediately drove straight north from the middle of the royal street, without any obstruction or trouble. On the way, he kept thinking about how he was not doing his errands very well, and how to speak when he faced the saint.

Then he entered the Xuande Gate, went to the pedestal of the Long Live Palace, and went to the East Hall.

Lu Guangxiao waited outside the door for a while, and then heard a eunuch sing: "Xuan Lu Guangxiao is here!" ”

He then bowed down and stepped into the temple gate with a nervous and nervous mood, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw more than 20 people standing on both sides of the court. Lu Guangxiao was stunned for a moment.

More than 20 civil and military ministers looked sideways, their eyes were focused on his face, Lu Guangxiao was suddenly excited, his face was hot for a while, he straightened his chest at the moment, puffed up a breath and walked steadily into the hall of Mingjing and Liangtang from the middle.

…… Lu Fei looked at the unkempt Tang Dynasty officials and couldn't help but glance back at the blank space in the southeast on the large map on the wall.

Lu Guangxiao stepped forward and knelt on the ground in the face of the imperial case, and said in a loud voice: "The minister was ordered to go to South Vietnam, and today he will return to the emperor to return to his life." ”

"Lu Aiqing, please hurry up." Lu Feidao.

"Thank you, Emperor." Lu Guangxiao stood up. Completely ignoring the dirty cloth clothes on his body, he unbuckled his belt and pulled open his robe in public. Everyone looked sideways and looked at him silently. If he was untidy and rude in front of the saint, he might be impeached by the courtiers, but no one said anything about him at this time.

Lu Fei came to the hall, and the hall was solemn, and the silence could be heard falling.

"Lu Guangxiao, it has been more than seven months since you sent an envoy to South Vietnam, I still remember that when you left Beijing, you were so angry and calm, why are you so depressed today, do you have anything to say to me?"

Lu Guangxiao fell to his knees with a puff, and ripped off his robe in front of the Manchu civil and military forces and the emperor, and the whip marks on his chest and back were vividly visible.

Lu Guangxiao cried, gritted his teeth, and paused: "The minister has the emperor's grace, the crime is not forgiven, and now I come to see the driver with a guilty body, just to start the emperor, the small state of Nanyue is too rude, the minister's humiliation is small, the Tang Dynasty is undefiled, the injury on the minister's body is given by the king of Nanyue, they have already listed the territory and sealed the territory, and they do not serve me to Zhengshuo......"

Lu Guangxiao then tore open a bag sewn on the ragged clothes on the ground, took out a leather bag from it, and then pulled out the paper wrapped in rolls from it one by one.

Holding his hands together, his voice was choked, "This is the topography and records of the South Vietnamese lands collected by the criminal minister, and the minister only brought back this ......"

The eunuch Zhou Jiuzhi stepped forward, carefully picked up the papers, and turned around and put them on the imperial case.

Lu Fei didn't look at it, but was silent for a long time, and said slowly after a while: "Let's discuss, when will the South Vietnamese country be cut." ”

With that, he left the main hall directly.

Lu Fei took the things that Lu Guangxiao had offered and retreated to Gyeongbok Palace.

At this time, in Gyeongbokgung Hall, a woman in her thirties was holding an inkstone in both hands. When Lu Fei was about to dip the ink, she could hold up the inkstone in time and reach for his hand. Because she always pays attention to the slightest move of Landing Fly, she can judge when he needs something.

This woman was Zheng Shanggong, her long light red dress fell to the floor, covering the lower half of her body, and her legs were kneeling on the ground. Although she didn't dare to keep staring at Lu Fei's face, her eyes kept observing Lu Fei's expression. Lu Fei was very attentive, only looking at the picture in front of him and the crumpled paper next to him, ignoring everything.

Zheng Shanggong's arms were weak, and her knees were painful, but there was another feeling that made her very comfortable. She likes to see Lu Fei's serious and focused face, and there is an aura on his body that makes Zheng Shanggong feel very good.

From time to time, she also carefully peeked at the things drawn by Lu Fei, there were lines of mountains and rivers, Zheng Shanggong didn't understand it very well, but she knew that Lu Fei was thinking about big things...... Anyway, it's completely different from the trivial things in the palace. She looked up at Lu Fei in her heart, and felt that he was very laborious and inexplicably compassionate.

…… At this moment, Lu Fei looked sideways at Zheng Shanggong, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you tired kneeling?" Get up. ”

Zheng Shanggong blurted out: "The concubine is willing to serve the emperor in body and ......."

As she spoke, her face turned red and she tilted her head slightly. Lu Fei followed her gaze, and there were three men standing next to her, Xue Juzheng, Kou Zhun, and Huang Zhongtang. But they were all serious, as if they hadn't heard anything, had seen nothing.

Lu Fei put the brush on the inkstone and said: "Lu Guangxiao is not easy to work, let him be a guest of the provincial envoy, come to the cabinet study, and add an auxiliary minister; The guest provincial envoy Dai Xiong changed the squire of the Ministry of Works, and still served as the military superintendent, and also came to the cabinet to add an auxiliary minister. ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly said, "Huh." ”

The other two were silent, because the cabinet was added by Lu Fei not long ago, and it has not yet formed a formal pattern, and now I don't know what the yamen is in charge of, anyway, the Privy Council and the political hall can't control it.

Lu Fei pondered for a moment, and then said, "I want Kou Zhun to change the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Huang Zhongtang to make up the sentence." Lu Duan asked in the political affairs hall, if everyone felt that there was nothing wrong, they would do these things. ”

Huang Zhongtang is the father of Huang Rong, the slave maid in Lu Fei's house before he was called emperor, his original name was Huang Jiye, because of Lu Fei's relationship, he was released, not only that, Lu Fei also let him go to Kaifeng Mansion to work, Huang Jiye changed his name to Zhongtang in order to show his loyalty to Lu Fei and Datang.

Lu Duan said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Lu Fei said: "There has always been a shortage of people in the political hall, and the princes are overworked. It's also a good thing that the two of you usually help the prime ministers do something. ”

He added, "This picture needs to be repaired, and you will come back tomorrow." ”

When the three of them heard this, they bowed and said, "The ministers are leaving." ”

When they got out of the Jingfu Palace, they walked to a section of the corridor, and Lu Duan arched: "Congratulations to Kou Shilang for his ascension!" ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly bowed: "Where is it." We should congratulate Huang Fuzheng (Huang Zhongtang) on ......"

Xue Juzheng raised his head and said coldly in front of him: "It's just a matter of Tongping Zhang." ”

Kou Zhun suddenly stopped, and when he looked at Lu Duan, Lu Duan smiled and stopped talking.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and Kou Zhun kept pondering in his heart, the emperor's understatement just now was really meaningful...... As Xue Juzheng said, Kou Zhun and Huang Zhongtang are cabinet assistants and ministerial-level servants, if they add another Tongping Zhangshi, what is the difference between them and the prime minister? The emperor seems to have arranged for both of them as prime ministers from the beginning.

Lu Fei really needs the prime minister.

To add a prime minister, a person like Kou Zhun who has the trust of the emperor and is familiar with the rules and government affairs in the cabinet is indeed the best candidate.

When Kou Zhun thought of this, his eyes became even more attentive. Still, he looked humble and serious, trying not to show his excitement. Kou Zhun said in his heart: If you want to be the prime minister, of course, you must be happy and not show your color!

Worship the prime minister, and the world does what they dream of. Kou Zhun thought that he was a staff member a few years ago, and now he was going to pay homage to the prime minister in his twenties, and the feeling of smoke coming from the ancestral tomb was difficult to describe.

At this time, Xue Juzheng suddenly turned around and said: "Today, we are working hard, the country is like the rising sun, and you want to become famous ministers in history, and you are meeting a good time." ”

The three of them all looked up and laughed together.

……

Taking advantage of the fact that the foreign ministers left Gyeongbok Palace, Zheng Shanggong got a bowl of white fungus and red date soup out of nowhere. She stirred with a silver spoon while gently blowing the soup.

Lu Fei was sitting on the couch and pondering, and he didn't do anything for the time being. But in the afterglow, he saw Zheng Shanggong behind the side and tasted the soup lightly, and then brought it up. Her cheeks flushed, and she quietly turned the bowl in a slight direction, bringing the place where she had drunk to Lu Fei.

Lu Fei pretended not to know, but when he raised his eyes to look at her face, he saw Zheng Shanggong pretending to be nothing, but his face was flushed.

The woman was in her thirties, but she was making small gestures. However, Lu Fei was not disgusted, but felt very comfortable and relaxed. Although it is a master-servant relationship, getting along day and night has the same feeling of being taken care of by his sister at home, which makes Lu Fei very useful.

Zheng Shanggong is not very beautiful, and it seems that the palace maids don't like her very much. However, Lu Fei looked at her very pleasantly...... In fact, after being familiar with a woman, as long as it is not too ugly, appearance is not particularly important.

Lu Fei picked it up, looked at the thin white and delicate bowl, there was a faint carmine remaining, and put the position to his mouth and took a small sip. Then when she looked at Zheng Shanggong attentively, she pursed her lips and tried her best not to laugh.

Lu Fei didn't break it, picked up the sterling silver spoon and stirred it twice in the bowl, and found that the dates in it had been peeled and removed, which was really not easy, and it was very fine.

He immediately said, "Call the people in the palace, don't give me this kind of thing in the future." No matter how expensive things are, you can't grow a few catties of fat after eating, and there are still many places where the country has to spend money. ”

Zheng Shanggong was slightly aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty...... The concubine obeys the emperor's will. ”

She said: "Although the concubine doesn't understand what the emperor is drawing, she feels that the emperor is hard...... I feel sorry for the emperor. With that, he put his head over and looked at the picture.

Looking at what he said, Lu Fei almost fell in love with her.

…… Lu Fei didn't tell her what she had drawn, just looking at what was on the picture. The map turned over is a map with the southeastern states as the middle, and the scale is marked, but it is not accurate, because the information brought back by Lu Guangxiao is not detailed, and he wants to attack South Vietnam, and the base in the rear should be in the southeastern states.

The map is opened again, and to the west is the Western Regions, which is roughly the area of today's "Xinjiang", among which there are many forces, the larger ones are the nine surnamed Wuhu, the Khotanese Tocharians, the Xizhou Uighurs, the Qarluq, the Turgish and other tribes. There was only one name, and Lu Fei hadn't seen them before, so he basically didn't know who they were...... Only the Uighurs had some idea, and the Uighurs were the same as the Uighurs who threatened the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty.

The Hexi Corridor is the passage leading to Longyou and other places in the Western Regions, and it is also the richest area with abundant water and grass. It is surrounded by mountains on the north and south sides, and the desert on the north side is rarely inhabited; To the south is the Qilian Mountains. To the south of the Qilian Mountains, the west is the Tubo Achai tribe, and the east is the Tubo Tusi Ma tribe.

The majority of the Han population in the Hexi Corridor benefited from the expansion of the military tun that began during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the Han regime only occupied the melon and sand areas in the west. The central region was occupied by the Uighurs, called the Ganzhou Uighurs; Liangzhou in the west is controlled by the two tribes of Tibet, the Liugu Department and the Zheqi clan.

There is also a relatively strong power there, the party, a few years ago Dane eliminated the main force of the party, but did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, after several years of development and life, God knows what the situation is over there, Tuoba Jiqian, who has been a hostage in the capital, died of illness last year, as long as a two-year-old doll, Tuoba Yuanhao, but I heard that the leader of the party, Tuoba Deming, gave birth to two more sons, and the son of Bianliang who is far away does not care for him Lu Fei does not know.

The Hexi Corridor enters the Wusheling Ridge to the east, which is Longyou. The Yellow River Hetao "several" shaped area.

In the western part of Longyou, the Central Plains Dynasty has completely lost this area, and the Tubo Tuosi Ma Department and the Party are active in the meantime, and only the Lingzhou Shuofang Jiedu in the north has the "Western Set" Yinchuan Plain.

Further east, south is Guanzhong, which is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. To the north is Xiazhou and other places, the territory of the Li family of the Dangxiang Tuoba clan, and then to the north is the "East Set" area in the south of Yinshan, which has entered the territory of Liao.

A lot of the information is very sketchy, but Lu Fei has finally filled in the blank in the western part of the territory.

Now he could at least get a rough idea of what was going on to the west of his country...... The situation is a mess!

In addition to the various barbarian tribes with intertwined and complex forces, even the internal northwest feudal towns are also semi-independent, such as the Zhe family in Guanzhong, the Feng family in Lingzhou, and the Tiangao Emperor Yuan, it is difficult to say whether he will be edicted or not, anyway, he nominally accepts the official gift from the imperial court; Only Wang Jing and his son in Qinzhou, although they are also feudal towns, but they have fought side by side with Lu Fei, and they are very supportive of Lu Fei's regime.

"Alas!" Lu Fei casually threw the brush on the inkstone and reached out to rub it at his temple.

Zheng Shanggong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine will rub your body." ”

"Hmm......" Lu Fei snapped and closed his eyes.

There are a lot of big things to do in the Tang Dynasty, conquering Shu, recovering Youyun, teaching South Vietnam a lesson, completely solving the party items or the Western Regions, etc., this is an external trouble, and there are internal worries, money, soldiers, food, which can stir up the human brain into a paste.

Lu Fei thought for a long time, he was in a mess, the Tuoba clan of Western Xia still did not call the Tang Dynasty, fight, it seems that this map has to be sprinkled with soldiers, Lao Tzu is the emperor, and it is not a god who can sprinkle beans into soldiers, don't fight, always unwilling, the surroundings of Datang should be peaceful and peaceful, and now it seems that none of the surrounding states are good.

Lu Fei opened his eyes and remembered that Xue Juzheng had dedicated the file of Xiazhou and other four states in advance, so he found it on the table and looked at it. He knew the general direction, probably the southern part of the Yellow River Loop and south of Ordos, where there might be plains, plateaus, hills and ravines, and other terrain.

This land must be a huge hidden danger, and in history, neither the Northern Song Dynasty nor the Liao Kingdom could do anything about them. hanging over Guanzhong's head, the threat to Datang is also very great.

Lu Fei decided to learn as much as possible about the party area in Xiazhou before making a decision.
