Yanglin's irritability did not last long, half a month later, the news of Li Yuan's death came from the palace, Yanglin was relieved, in the following month, Du Ruhui died of illness, Qin Qiong was seriously ill, it can be said that the entire Chang'an entered a period of mourning, although Yanglin's filial piety clothes were taken off, but the mood was not much better, Du Ruhui lived more than five years longer than the original, but Qin Qiong still couldn't escape the original fate, after the New Year, he would die soon, recalling the scenes when he first arrived in Datang, The vivid faces of these two people floated in his mind again, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

Entering the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty have been very stable, the turbulent period after the Southern Expedition has passed, the southern counties have begun to enter a period of rapid development, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more consolidated, and it is time to send troops to the Western Regions, at this time Li Shimin does not want to wait for a moment.

In the school field of the Longshou Yuan Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, 30,000 iron cavalry stood full, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, took over the tiger talisman arrow issued by Li Shimin on the point of the general, step by step from the neatly lined up soldiers walked in front of the soldiers, the expanded 10,000 cavalry army now has more than 30,000 soldiers, more than 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, more than 100,000 horses, is the largest cavalry force in the history of the Central Plains, and now the three major commanders of the 10,000 cavalry army have all changed, and they are also worthy of the name Each person commanded 10,000 horses, respectively, Xue Li, Cheng Chumo, Li Huairen, The three young generals, the commander of the three armies is still Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and today is the day they go to the Western Regions.

"Order, Xue Li is the commander of the First Route Army, leading 10,000 iron horsemen out of the Hetao, with Lanzhou City as the center, sweeping a radius of 800 miles, not my subjects, all arrested, captured, and handed over to the imperial court for disposal.

Order, Cheng Chumo was the commander of the Second Route Army, and led 10,000 iron horsemen out of Yinzhou. With Qinghai Lake as the center, the south reaches Tubo, the west is not limited, where the foreign tribes, the one who descends accepts it, the one who does not surrender is cut off, since the date of sending out the army, the place where the iron cavalry arrives is the Tang realm.

ordered, Li Huairen was the commander of the Third Route Army, leading 10,000 iron hooves. Three thousand camel soldiers went out of the Yumen Pass to clear the countries of the Western Regions, and those who surrendered were accepted, and those who did not surrender were beheaded. The army set out on the same day, and if it did not achieve its goal, it would not withdraw its troops. ”

Although Li Jing is old, he is still full of energy, and when he shouted his words, his morale was suddenly shocked. 30,000 soldiers took the lead, he personally commanded 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 20,000 grassland cavalry such as Hui Hui who had been included in the Tang Dynasty as auxiliaries, although the Tang Dynasty only mobilized 100,000 troops this time. But the goal to be achieved is to completely control the entire grassland and the boundaries of the Western Regions, because all the subjects of the Tang Dynasty believe that the 100,000 army is enough for the Tang Dynasty to level the entire Western Regions, and anyone who has seen the Tang army armed to the teeth. There is not the slightest doubt about this.

More than 30,000 cavalry left the school field like a flood, and Li Shimin's heart finally had some happiness, since the Western Turks were defeated by Li Jing. The largest armed scale in the entire Western Regions is not more than 10,000, under the crushing of the 100,000 Tang army, there will be no power to fight back, take the entire Western Regions, then the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be expanded by one-third, and the most important thing is that after the grassland and the Western Regions are included in the plate of the Tang Dynasty, Xiliang will live under his own attention.

Yanglin doesn't have any official position now, except for watching TV dramas in the bed with Li Lizhi every day, that is, compiling the textbooks of Chang'an Academy, the eight major departments, the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Martial Arts, the School of Mathematics, the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry, the College of Agriculture, the School of Architecture, the College of Quyi, each department Yanglin has to follow his own memory, at least the primary, and intermediate textbooks, he also plans to open the mode of electives, in addition to elementary literature and mathematics are compulsory courses, everyone in the rest of the disciplines can choose two concurrently, and learn these knowledge, Yanglin estimates that at least there is the level of junior high school students in later generations, and in the future, some personal research and exploration will be needed, and the most advanced textbooks, Yanglin is still kept secret.

The super academy that occupies the land of six squares is under construction in an orderly manner, and the art troupe also chose a piece of land near the Yangjiang Canal on the outskirts of the city to build the Tang Opera House, which covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters of the building is the largest building in Datang after the building in heaven and earth, and even the Datang Stadium, which occupies more than 1,000 acres, can not be compared, without exception, the site of these two major buildings are located outside Chang'an City, in disguise, the city of Chang'an City, and the expansion of the city has doubled, and the long-term population, It also reached a terrifying more than eight million. High-rise buildings are rising in all corners of Chang'an City and beyond, and of course, at this time, more than eight floors are also considered high-rise buildings.

"Hahaha, hahaha, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, March Tianle, spring rain like wine, willows like smoke" in the Hibiscus Garden, the soldiers of the art troupe are lining up the newly created drama of the horse master, in fact, before, the Tang Dynasty already had an opera culture, but the scary costumes and the content of the performance made Yanglin really dare not compliment, with the music of Huangmei in later generations, the original drama form was overturned in an instant, of course, some performances of the art troupe here in Chang'an have long been out of the original drama form, The original theatrical form was shattered.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the literati dominated a qiē, and in the later Song Dynasty, the social form of the Ming Dynasty that only scholars could become officials had not yet been formed, and the proportion of folk readers was not high, so what the people are pursuing now is actually straightforward lyrics that can move people's hearts, if the tune can be pleasant to the ear, it will definitely be loved by the people, and the first to see the original Li Lizhi from time to time into the palace to sell a few words, will cause a wave of envy of the princesses and concubines, but every time she comes back, her face will not be very good, Because the eldest grandson queen will definitely mention the matter of the child to her, she has been married for more than half a year, and her stomach has not moved, which is a big problem in the eyes of the royal family, so these two people often evolve into action scenes when they practice music in the bed, or the kind of rhythmic dubbing of hum.

It wasn't until one day in the summer that Li Lizhi's stomach finally reacted, and Yanglin was pulled out of the happy and relaxed days, and Li Shimin was about to move troops again, this time it was Li Chengqian's long-standing campaign to conquer the Japanese state, but Zhaoyanglin entered the palace not to add any official position to Yanglin, but to give some advice.

"Father, the son has not been in the court for a long time, and these military affairs have long been forgotten, and you are now looking for me to ask about these military matters, aren't you asking Yu Blind?"

Yanglin has rarely entered the palace in the past six months, in addition to not wanting to stay too long under Li Er's resentful eyes, he also does not want to participate in the increasingly obvious battle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, since Yanglin stopped Lu Yao's labor army theatrical performances, Li Tai is very annoyed, several times to come to the door to make trouble with Yanglin, but Li Lizhi was driven out, now, Li Chengqian finally got through Li Shimin's work, agreed to his expedition to the Japanese country, Li Tai naturally also came out to find a fault, not to give Li Chengqian a chance to make military achievements, he has a very good reason.

First, Li Chengqian never commanded the army, especially the navy, but unlike him, he walked on the sea. Second, Li Chengqian's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he is the crown prince, so it is not suitable to go out of Beijing, and it is most appropriate for him, the prince, to do it for him.

Li Shimin didn't care much about the people who led the army, he didn't care about the Japanese country, but after listening to these two reasons, he also had to consider replacing people, Li Tai was indeed more suitable for leading the army than Li Chengqian, but the conquest of the Japanese country was planned by Li Chengqian, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and it was not good to snub anyone, so he had to ask Yanglin, a guy who was usually sandwiched between these two brothers, to ask for advice.

"Are you blaming me for removing you?"

Li Shimin's eyes are still resentful, on his case, from time to time will send back some Xiliang, now it should be said that Wang Xiyue is the news of everyone outside the customs, what new songs they sang, how warmly welcomed by the local tribesmen, etc., but for him, there is not a word, which makes him very aggrieved, he knows that Wang Xiyue has maintained correspondence with Yanglin, but unfortunately he does not have him, so he really wants to take a look at Yanglin's letter, but Yanglin refused, no matter how strong Li Shimin's request is, Yanglin has the support of the eldest grandson queen, and he can refuse without hesitation, now he has no official position, so he simply hides in the basement and can't find anyone all day long, he asks for it a few times, but if he can't, Li Er will not waste his efforts, but the thoughts of Wang Xiyue in his heart are getting deeper and deeper, and there has been no draft in the palace in the past two years.

Yang Lin sometimes secretly refreshed, I don't know how Wu Meiniang, who was blocked from the palace by his own hand and could not enter the palace, felt it, but today is different, the eldest princess is happy, he has to enter the palace to report the good news, so he was caught by Li Er, who had already had an idea.

"Erchen didn't dare, he was dismissed from his official position, and Erchen concentrated on creating people at home, and he was very happy! How can you blame your father! However, the leading figure of the navy really has to think carefully, and we can separate the fight from the rule.

The Japanese country is not large, and lonely overseas, far away from the mainland, it may be easy to fight down, but it may not be easy to govern, first of all, the candidate for governance is particular, if it is a foreign minister, it is easy to have the idea of self-reliance, my Tang Dynasty is now sparsely populated, and far from the need to colonize overseas countries, so, after the Japanese country is defeated, our country may not invest a lot of manpower and material resources to govern, here we first consider what kind of political means to govern the place of the Japanese country, If neither the crown prince nor the king of Wei had any intention of moving their fiefdoms to the Wa Kingdom, they would not have to personally lead the troops to the expedition, after all, attacking the Wa Kingdom, we were led by Fujiwara Kitake, and the number of troops dispatched by itself was not large.

However, the crown prince and the king of Wei do not want their fiefdoms to be isolated overseas, but there are people who are willing, why not send these people to lead the troops to the battle, Your Majesty only needs to allocate them a certain number of troops and ships, and when the time comes, the Wa State will be defeated, I think these people will be carefully governed and give Your Majesty a surprise. ”

Although Yanglin is fighting with the intention of not helping each other, but for the Tang Dynasty's beneficial Jianyi, it will still be mentioned, after Li Yuan's death, Li Shimin's brothers will be in danger, if they are given a chance to escape Li Shimin's control, they will definitely seize it, not all of these people are mediocre, at least, some of them still have the capital to go to the Wa Kingdom to mix with the king of the soil.

"You mean the Sixteen Kings?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Erchen didn't say it, it was His Majesty who thought of it, and Erchen still had to go to see his mother and report the great joy of Lizhi's pregnancy, so he won't stay." Yang Lin bowed his hand and quickly escaped from Li Shimin's palace. (To be continued......)
