The court meeting was carried out, and Li Er's interest was high, and even those ministers were all kinds of praise. One by one, I can't wait to say that Datang is God's favorite darling, Li Er is like the illegitimate son of God, in short, if anyone dares to provoke, then it will be the end of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. It can be seen that in fact, the so-called Ah Q spirit is not only in that special period, but has a long history inherited from the ancestors.

Li Kuan looked at these officials who were talking to themselves and immersed in endless happiness, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while, and at the same time he was more determined in his heart to stay away from the court. For this group of ministers who are good at all kinds of brain details and all kinds of self-absorbed ministers, Li Kuan quietly moved to the edge of the queue.

Time passed bit by bit, and under the various flattery of these officials who stood in the highest administrative hall of the Tang Dynasty and did not do anything serious, Li Er also became fluttery. But he still retains the last sanity, he does not completely believe that the Tang Dynasty is really invincible in the world, unparalleled in the world, in his heart for the surrounding nomads have never given up their vigilance, and now Tuyuhun is gone, it is because of the plague, but what about Tubo, Goryeo, the Uighurs in the far northwest, as well as Xue Yantuo, and even the Zhaowu nine surnames farther away, these are Li Er's imaginary enemies, he has never thought that the world is peaceful.

Anyway, the current atmosphere is what Li Er wants, Datang has been walking on thin ice until now, even if Datang's national strength has begun to rebound in recent years, but in the face of these non-our races around him. There are still some inadequacies, or they are not ready for a big war. Datang is not like those alien races, these small ones are only tens of thousands of people. More than 100,000 people, the largest Goryeo is only hundreds of thousands, which is only equivalent to the population of a county in the Tang Dynasty, as long as there is a slight natural and man-made disaster, it will reach the point of exhaustion, and at that juncture they will have no second way except to loot from their rich neighbors. And fewer people means they are more mobile, which is also a big advantage. The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and the Tang Dynasty was too vast, so that the border defense that needed to be garrisoned was too long. It is also a huge burden for the entire treasury.

In any case, if Datang does not do a good job of the people of the whole country as one, it will not be able to support a big war. This situation has caused the Tuyuhun incident to become an important delaying method for Datang, that is, to use the plague of Tuyuhun this time to create the image of Datang being favored by the heavens, so that these alien races who want to invade have a little scruple in their hearts, and after a few years, Datang will not be afraid of anything!

Li Kuan leaned on the pillar of the courtyard on the side, dozing off to himself, and praised these merits. It's enough to have those Wenchen, cheering and applauding, those military generals are also the best cheerleaders, so it's good to be lazy quietly like this.

Dozing off at the court. This is Li Kuan's routine, whether it is celebrating his achievements or dealing with political affairs, he can't lift his spirits. Because this way of celebrating the achievements of the Manchu Dynasty is just to sing praises and praise virtues, and slap Li Er's sycophants. This kind of celebration has nothing to do with Li Kuan, and it is better to drink and eat meat with his soldiers in the barracks.

Li Kuan was secretly dozing off. Hiding his body behind the pillar of the court, he can hide it from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but he can't hide from the few people who have always thought about him anyway, Li Er was speechless when he saw Li Kuan's expression, what is this kid doing? Go to bed? It's really unreasonable, and it was really unreasonable to wander on Suzaku Street in the middle of the night last night. When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Kuan's expression, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, this His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't seem to be very interested in court politics, which was a good thing, at least his threat to the crown prince would be reduced by half. The last one who was paying attention to Li Kuan was none other than Yuan Shoucheng, who was sitting on a chair next to Li Erlong's chair, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, his long beard hung down on his chest, and he was wearing a kudzu coat, with a long placket hanging down, and his big sleeves fluttering between his gestures looked very fairy. At this time, he was smiling and looking at the guy who was dozing off on the side: "This little guy has grown so big, the white tiger sees blood, it is really unstoppable!" In the future, the border defense of the empire will be unhindered!"

Of course, he didn't say these words, but turned his head and glanced at the one from Longhu Mountain meaningfully, and then nodded slightly at the Daoyan Zen Master. The three old guys who are more than three hundred years old are all ruddy-faced, and they seem to be able to live for one or two decades, this is the national treasure of the Tang Dynasty.

Although they couldn't believe that such a plague that swept a country was man-made, they also didn't believe that this was God's punishment for Tuyuhun for offending Datang. Because they themselves have long been accustomed to doing things in the name of the heavens and gods, they are really familiar with these things, but they will not debunk them, and even support them, which is why Li Er invited them. And among the three people, only Yuan Shoucheng knew that before the outbreak of this plague, Datang had sent an army to Tuyuhun, and the leader of this army was the kid who was dozing off at the bottom now.

Of course, these things can't be announced, he can only know by himself, and he is shocked that this prince can freely spread the plague, hoping to learn the mystery of it, and he can't let today's Taoists go further to really refine the elixir that can prolong life. And Yuan Shoucheng also had a bad feeling in his heart, I don't know where this feeling came from, but he was sure that there would be a big catastrophe in Taoism in the near future, and he couldn't say whether he could survive it, but every time he looked at the Taoist Zen master, he had a subtle feeling, and it seemed that this time it must have something to do with Buddhism.

Where did such a feeling come from, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't say clearly. But he saw a temperament that made him feel frightened from the young monk brought into the capital by Zen Master Daoyan this time, that kind of perseverance, that kind of somewhat familiar temperament, which made him feel that this young monk was not an ordinary character, because the Zen Master Daoyan also had such a temperament. Now that this old bald donkey is sitting with him, what kind of things will this monk named Xuanzang do and what kind of achievements will he achieve in the future?

The court meeting lasted until the end of noon, and finally it was completed, Li Kuan walked out of the palace gate with hazy sleepy eyes, turned over and rode in the direction of his own house, he didn't say a word about those things in the court, but he knew that the small courtyard in Chang'an City was taken back by Li Er because of some excuse that damaged the face of the royal family, and he gave a mansion in Yongchangfang next to the East Palace, and he had to refuse. It seems that this is a secret reward, and the establishment of the group of people under his command has also been officially reduced, the establishment of eight hundred, can be stationed outside Chang'an City, which is simply a generous and excessive gift for a prince. Being able to garrison 800 private soldiers in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is simply a great grace, because even the crown prince of the current dynasty can only form the prince according to the convention, and there are only more than 1,000 people, and a prince can have 800 people, which is simply the first prince in the world.

Not to mention these, Li Kuan didn't go to move first, the two maids will do a good job of moving, and he doesn't have to worry about it, what he has to do now is to go outside Chang'an City to solve the establishment of his soldiers, for the brothers who accompanied him to Tuyuhun Dead People Pile and rolled back this time, Li Kuan can also be regarded as a fateful friendship, except for the more than 200 people who were transferred from the Xuanjia Guard, who were transferred by Li Er, the rest were all trained by him. Life and death brothers who have been in the killing arena together, so Li Kuan hopes that they can have a good result, if Li Er doesn't have a reward, he is ready to ask for it himself.

Chasing clouds and horses' hooves are brisk, and soon they are out of Chang'an City, galloping on the road, and now the official roads around Chang'an City have been much better, at least paved with stone slabs, which is a very good thing, it is too laborious and costly, and it can only be paved on this section of the official road around Chang'an City, after leaving the city gate for ten miles, it is still the dusty loess road, but fortunately, this section of the road in the eastern suburbs of the horse farm is exceptionally paved, because there are always princes and princesses of the royal family who come here to play, to choose the horses they like, You can't let these princes and princesses eat dust! So this section of the road is all bluestone paved stone road, very wide, chasing the clouds of the horse's hooves on it to make a crisp sound, facing the breeze, Li Kuan soon came here, now the wolf rider's station has not been built, so now this eastern suburbs horse farm first lived, and after the new camp is built, it will move directly over.

Outside the gate, the soldiers on duty saw from a distance that it was the war horse of their own commander who was galloping forward, so the gate had already been opened, and the soldiers standing on the lookouts on both sides stood straight: "Welcome the general back to the camp!" ”

Li Kuan waved his hand in return, and then rode his horse directly in, these soldiers and Li Kuan got acquainted with it, and they all knew that this five-black and four-hoofed snow-white war horse could be ridden by his own master, and the rest of the people could not think of being able to subdue it, and it was difficult to sit firmly on the horse, let alone gallop on horseback, so this horse also became Li Kuan's identity nameplate.

In the camp, Hong Li is taking the soldiers to train, the eastern suburbs horse farm with all kinds of facilities has become a good place for their daily training, all kinds of horizontal bars, parallel bars, as well as rope ladders, balance beams and the like, varied, although you can't drink compared with the modern advanced gym, but in this era it can be regarded as a supreme VIP level. There will be nothing left in the other barracks except for stone locks like stones and eggs. (To be continued......)
