Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Emperor's Mind

“…… After sealing the Anxi Jiedu, Changqing was named the prince of Hegong East County, the general of Huaihua, and the actual seal of one hundred households; Feng Anxi don't make Duan Xiushi the marquis of Wangyang County, a general of Guide, and a hundred households; Feng Anxi did not make Ma Lu the marquis of Yu County, and the general of Yunlu...... Gu Xiaojun, the younger brother of Feng Sheng and the Emperor of Great Food, was the county uncle of Yanshi and the general of Mingwei; Li Tianxi is the son of Xinfeng County, and General Dingyuan ......"

With the reading of Dou Hua, a member of the Zhongshu House, a series of rewards came down, and the ministers on the Danfeng floor couldn't help but be shocked, and many people began to whisper that such a large-scale reward was the first time since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

It is conceivable how much His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this great achievement of the Anxi Army, but it is also appropriate to think about it. The First World War pacified the river, Khorasan, subdued the thirty-six countries, and brought back so many spoils;

Now that the thirty-six countries west of the Green Ridge have sent envoys to meet the Son of Heaven, such a grand event, how can the reward for meritorious soldiers be stingy?

An Lushan sat in Danfeng Tower, less than five zhang away from Li Longji's throne, and Dou Hua, who read out the holy decree of reward, stood more than a zhang away from him. Listening to this reward one after another, An Lushan was so jealous that he almost went crazy!

He has also contributed many times before, and he was rated as the top class in this examination, and he was named the king of the county, both of which are unique and unique in the entire Tang Dynasty, which makes him very proud and has an incomparable sense of superiority.

But this time, Gao Xianzhi's examination was also rated as superior, and he was also crowned king. The two records he held were broken at once, and he was no longer unique, and his sense of superiority plummeted in an instant.

What made him even more jealous was the specifications of this dedication ceremony, in front of the Danfeng Gate of the Daming Palace, which had the highest specifications, all the civil and military officials were present, and then the Taimiao offered prisoners, and the whole city celebrated and carnivaled for three days, which he had never enjoyed!

There is also Li Longji's reward for Gao Xianzhi, although both of them are county kings, and the military officials are hussar generals, but Gao Xianzhi also has a civil and prose official, the highest level of Kaifuyi, and the three divisions that he does not have.

Not only does he not have it now, but it will be difficult to have it in the future, because although he knows nine languages, he is an illiterate person who has never read a book and cannot read! And it was with this identity that he pretended to be stupid and stunned to please Li Longji.

This is compared to Gao Xianzhi all of a sudden! An Lushan was so jealous that he gasped slightly, but he thought that opening the mansion and the three divisions was just vanity, and he Gao Xianzhi didn't dare to really open the mansion;

He Gao Xianzhi is just a town festival envoy, but he is a three towns festival envoy, and he is also an interview envoy in Hebei, and his power is more than a little bit greater than him!

Moreover, although the generals and colonels of the Anxi Army have been awarded so many titles and military officers, the number of Anxi Army is too small after all, and the number of troops to be recruited is only 44,000; How can it compare to his own three towns and horses plus 153,000 troops, and 50,000 private soldiers and 8,000 towing rivers.

Thinking of this, An Lushan felt a little proud in his heart, he was still the most powerful and powerful envoy in the Tang Dynasty.

He watched with a light face as Gao Xianzhi, Xiao Quai, and more than a dozen rewarded soldiers of the Anxi Army walked up to the Danfeng Tower under the guidance of the eunuchs, and sat down at various seats, and Gao Xiao and the two were arranged to sit opposite An Lushan.

An Lushan glanced at the two of them from afar, smiled at each other, and congratulated the two very respectfully and sincerely.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a secret fold!" Gao Xianzhi nodded and smiled at An Lushan very politely, and then turned to report to Li Longji.

An Lushan was nervous for a moment, and he saw that when Gao Xianzhi said this, Xiao Quzhi smiled at him very meaningfully.

Are they going to deal with themselves, seize their own handles, and suddenly attack at this time? An Lushan clenched his hands, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently.

Xiao Quai, this dog thief is really insidious and cunning!

Yesterday afternoon, he sent Yan Zhuang to find Xiao Quai, saying that he was sincerely afraid of him, loyal to Datang, and that he might have done something wrong in the past, and he would definitely reform himself in the future, and ask Xiao Qu to be sick and let Yunyun go.

According to Yan Zhuang's return, Na Xiao's reaction to illness was very happy and complacent, and he comforted him with generous words, and said that he would move around more in the future.

Just when An Lushan thought that he had successfully paralyzed the other party, he didn't expect such a show to come today. An Lushan nervously guessed where the other party would attack him from.

Snake Tooth Assassination? Didn't he always think it was Wang Jie? Could it be the smuggling of arsenal ordnance? According to the snake's teeth, the other party has not made any progress? Or is it to keep private soldiers and make official uniforms privately?

"Oh, bring it up." Li Longji smiled and was very interested.

Gao Xianzhi took out a secret fold from his arms, raised his hands respectfully above his head, Gao Lishi walked over quickly, took the secret fold and handed it to Li Longji.

An Lushan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and under his nervous gaze, Li Longji inadvertently opened Gao Xianzhi's secret fold, and then his eyes widened at once, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The ministers under the imperial case looked curious, Gao Xianzhi and Xiao Qu were sick with a spring breeze, Ge Shuhan looked excited, Li Linfu frowned, Yang Guozhong smiled but didn't smile, but An Lushan broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the more Li Longji looked down, the more happy he became, and in the end, he couldn't close his smile from ear to ear, which made An Lushan's pounding heart slowly calm down.

It's okay, it's okay! Your Majesty is so happy, it should be a happy event, not for yourself. While breathing a sigh of relief, An Lushan couldn't help but be jealous again, Gao Xiao and the two had already made such a great achievement, how could there be good news to the emperor?

After reading the secret fold, Li Longji looked so excited that he stood up from the throne, his face was full of excitement, and he asked Gao Xianzhi loudly: "Gao Qing, can this matter be serious?" ”

Gao Xianzhi said respectfully: "It's true, as said above, before the Yuan Day, there will be an envoy." ”

Li Longji still couldn't believe it, and looked at Xiao Quzhi and Ge Shuhan, both of whom nodded to him sincerely. Nonsense, this secret fold was put together by three people and completed by the champion Liu Dan.

Li Longji couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, good, great!" ”

After saying three good things in a row, Li Longji was very excited, if it weren't for the basic city of an emperor, he would have ordered Dou Hua to read the contents of this secret fold to everyone in public.

The young and powerful Tubo Zampu was killed, and his son, who was less than ten years old, ascended to the throne, and the power was in the hands of two ministers. Now the political situation in Tibet is already turbulent, the people are panicked, and there is also the internal response of Subi.

Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan had already sworn to themselves in a secret compromise that starting from next year, the Anxi army would cross the green ridge and attack Tubo from Xiaobolu, and the Longyou army would attack Tubo from Jiuqu of the Yellow River, and secretly support Subi, and within five years, they would be able to overthrow the destruction of Tubo in one fell swoop.

How can Li Longji not be happy, excited, and excited!

Among all the foreign enemies of the Tang Dynasty, it is the most hateful, the most difficult, and the real henchman of Tubo.

Since the beginning of the Taizong Dynasty, Tubo has become a great disaster for the country, and has repeatedly sent troops to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty. During the Gaozong period, the Tang Dynasty's troops and territory reached their peak at the same time, but it was because of the two major defeats in the conquest of Tibet, so that the Turks took the opportunity to rebel, and the Tang Dynasty lost its borders and plundered the population for a long time.

After he ascended the throne, he successively perished, pacified, and subdued the Turks, Turgish, Khitan and Xi; Only Tubo was temporarily suppressed by Datang, but its strength was not damaged at all, and it could be attacked from the plateau at any time, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which made Datang hate it and had no choice!

After fighting with Tubo for so many years, Datang gradually understood that the reason why Tubo was able to suffer was not how resourceful the Tubo generals were, nor how brave and good the Tubo soldiers were.

It is really because of the geographical advantage, if the situation is favorable to them, they will go down the mountain to plunder and cause trouble, and if the situation is unfavorable to them, they will retreat back to the plateau, and Datang has no way to take him. But Tubo is so close to Longyou and Chang'an, it seems that there is a cannibalistic tiger lying next to him at any time.

Two years ago, in order to capture the stone fort city garrisoned by several hundred people, Li Longji did not hesitate to send more than 60,000 troops to attack in turn.

In the end, Shibao City was finally captured by piling up human lives, and the Tang army suffered tens of thousands of casualties. However, Li Longji still praised Ge Shuhan, who commanded the battle.

It is because in Li Longji's heart that Tubo can no longer be allowed to threaten the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how big the price is, he will continue to suppress Tubo until he perishes!

However, although Li Longji made up his mind to do whatever it takes, wouldn't it be better if he could pay less to destroy Tibet?

Because of this reason, the news brought by Gao Xianzhi's secret fold, and the plan formulated on the secret fold that it would not take many people to die, not spend money, and completely destroy Tubo in only three to five years, was tantamount to timely rain, which gave Li Longji the biggest surprise.

Thinking of the method of sending troops to attack, supporting puppets, and economic control on the secret fold, Li Longji suddenly thought, this strategy is all Xiao Quai's idea? Didn't it say that Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan was killed by Xiao Quai's Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Fa?

Li Longji couldn't help but sigh, this Xiao Qu's illness is simply a gift from God to himself and Datang. Yesterday, he listened to his confidant eunuch Wang Chengen talk about Xiao Qu's illness for more than an hour, and in Wang Chengen's words, at least half of the credit for the battle in the river was due to Xiao Qu's illness.

This Xiao Qu has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, not only bravely crowning the three armies, but also the strategy is unparalleled, and no one has ever thought of the method of "economic control" mentioned in the secret fold before; And he is also astronomical and geographical, knows almost everything, and is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, which is simply perfect.

But somehow, while Li Longji sighed with joy, he couldn't help but feel vigilant, and there was no reason for him to become more and more uneasy.

Well, it's still good like Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, and An Lushan, who have a little ability, but have more shortcomings, and can help themselves do things, but they have no prestige.

Unlike that Xiao Quai, when he offered his victory today, whether it was the people of the Tang Dynasty or the envoys of the thirty-six countries west of the Green Mountains, they simply worshiped him very much.

In addition to being happy and excited, Li Longji also calmed down, returned to the throne and sat down, and thought for a while in the puzzled eyes of the ministers and hundreds of envoys from various countries.
