On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qing took Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Li Zhi, Xu Qing took the opportunity to discuss military affairs with Li Zhi, Xu Qing obtained a holy decree, and secretly ordered King Yan to prepare to send 60,000 troops to conquer the rebellious areas of Goguryeo and Baekje, and put down the rebellion together with the dart division of the Longmen Dart Bureau controlled by Xu Qing and the veterans of the Datang Trading Company, and expelled all the Silla people from Goguryeo and Baekje, and the expedition time was set for March. The Eastern Army of King Yan was under the command of Xu Qing, Xu Qing was the main general, and Xue Rengui was the deputy general.

Most of the military department and the prime minister's team are Wu Zetian's cronies, and the emperor's jade seal is also in Wu Zetian's hands, Xu Qing had to go through abnormal procedures to transfer troops according to the holy decree, and follow the normal procedures, and the military department mobilized the 60,000 troops of King Yan to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje rebel areas in accordance with the emperor's will and the prime minister's opinion, and it will definitely be obstructed by Wu Zetian, and it will not work.

Although it is not in accordance with the rules to transfer troops by holy decree, as long as the emperor supports it, the general who transferred the troops (Xu Qing) supports it, and the generals who are transferred troops (King Yan and Li Yong, the envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu) also support, the matter can be done. The Ministry of War can't stop it even if it wants to. The Biyi military department cannot independently mobilize the army, let alone command the army, and the military department must be in accordance with the emperor's will and the prime minister's team must consult and agree.

The prince saw that the emperor valued Xu Qing so much, as if he was more important than his own son, but he didn't feel jealous at all, because Xu Qing was no one else, he was the prince's brother-in-law, and the prince had a life-saving grace for Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang, so Xu Qing was not only the emperor's confidant, but also a firm supporter of the prince.

The crown prince and Wu Zetian don't like each other, they are disgusted with each other's practices, and the relationship between mother and son is extremely bad, worse than strangers. If the crown prince is Wu Zetian's only son, he doesn't have to worry about Wu Zetian abolishing his crown prince, but Wu Zetian has four sons, only the prince dares to disobey her, dare to accuse her of mistakes, and dare to do things that make her unhappy.

The prince also heard that Xu Qing was an astrology master from all the way from Shenzhou Kingdom, and when Xu Qing came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, he asked Xu Qing to tell his fortune.

Xu Qing told the prince that he was destined to live to be thirty years old, and that the person who killed him was a woman close to him who had a close relationship with him. He should be careful of the women around him, especially to prevent others from poisoning him in food, wine, and tea. If he can survive this fate, he will live to be 80 years old.

The prince was shocked, and planned to stay away from women from now on, and if there was a need, he would secretly go out of the palace to find a woman in the Qinglou to vent. In order to express his gratitude to Xu Qing, the prince gave his most favored palace maids to Xu Qing, along with the most beautiful palace maids who were not favored, and the remaining palace maids in the East Palace were either old and decrepit, or they were average, the prince did not send Xu Qing anymore, and all of them were sent home, and only the eunuchs were left in the prince's east palace to serve the prince.

The prince is a good prince, kind-hearted, the few palace maids that the prince has favored are precisely the most beautiful palace maids in the East Palace, although Xu Qing is very reluctant to the few palace maids that the prince has pampered, he still returned them to the prince, but left a few young and beautiful palace maids who the prince had not favored as his own maids. Xu Qing further told the prince that the woman who poisoned him in the future was a woman who was related to him by blood, and a woman who was not related by blood did not have to worry.

The prince is grateful to Xu Qing for risking revealing the secret of heaven and saying it so clearly, greatly narrowing the scope of his precautions, and is grateful to Xu Qing, Xu Qing left a few palace maids he sent, of course the prince will not regret coming back. Xu Qing also said clearly and clearly, he told the prince so much, leaked the heavenly secrets, and lost ten years of yang life, and it was also appropriate to get a few palace maids in the prince's mansion.

Xu Qing re-named the four beautiful palace maids sent to the prince, and they were Chunlan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei in order of age from oldest to youngest. Wang Fengxi's name Xu Qing thinks it's good enough, so there is no need to change his name. From now on, Xu Qing will be able to enjoy the treatment of a prince, what a cool word!

At first, these four palace maids were given to Xu Qing by the prince, just like the end of the world is coming, almost want to die in the prince's east palace, but they don't have the courage to die, after coming to the Xuancheng princess's mansion and the Yiyang princess's mansion, they saw the grandeur of the two princesses' mansions, the scale is no less than the prince's east palace, and they saw the high-walled compound of the two princesses' mansions, which are heavily guarded, and they are no less than the prince's east palace, and their mood is slightly better.

Princess Chengnan also took her daughter and Xue Juma to the emperor and queen on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and had lunch in the emperor's palace with Xu Qing. Xu Qing brought cooks, cooking utensils, ingredients and water from the princess's mansion, and did not eat the food and water provided by the emperor, which surprised the princess of Chengnan, Xue Yuma, Xue Jiao and the crown prince, and the emperor did not mind Xu Qing's abnormal rudeness, which showed that the emperor was very appreciative and conniving at Xu Qing's son-in-law, and Xu Qing's weight in their hearts became heavier.

To illustrate, Wu Zetian had a grudge against the mother of Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang, and when these two princesses went to the palace to visit their father, Wu Zetian avoided it and did not meet with the two princesses. Although Princess Chengnan's family was very dissatisfied with Wu Zetian's snatching of the emperor's power and suppressing and squeezing out the royal family, they did not tear their faces with Wu Zetian and still wanted to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Zetian.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qing went to the Chengnan Princess's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Princess Chengnan and Xue Juma warmly entertained Xu Qing, apparently Xu Qing was the future son-in-law. Although Xue Jiao and Xu Qing have not known each other for a long time, Xu Qing is satisfied with both her ability to play politics and make money, the only thing she is dissatisfied with is that Xu Qing is too distracted, there are several fairy-like beauties in the family, and she has to receive the palace maids sent by the prince.

When Xu Qing told the fortune of the prince, Xue Jiao, Princess Chengnan and his wife, and the emperor were all present.

Since Xue Jiao is destined not to be the crown princess, nor can she be the future queen, looking at the young handsome guys of the Tang Dynasty, the rich have no martial arts, those with martial arts have no culture, those with culture have no noble bloodline, those with noble blood have no quality and cultivation, those with quality and cultivation follow the rules, too boring, and I really can't find anyone who is both civil and military, talented and versatile, not conformist, and unconventional and unconventional to beat Xu Qing, Xu Qing's life will definitely be colorful, Xue Jiaoruo marries Xu Qing, Her life will surely be colorful.

Therefore, although Xue Jiao was very dissatisfied with Xu Qing accepting a courtesan and five maidservants in less than a month, she still forgave Xu Qing and did not give Xu Qing a face when Xu Qing came to pay New Year's greetings.

Xu Qing didn't care too much about Xue Jiao's thoughts, as long as the emperor and Princess Chengnan supported Xue Jiao to marry him, this matter would be a sure thing.

This time, Xu Qing sent some amethysts, gems, pearls and spices bought by the Datang Trading Company from North Korea to Xue Jiao and Princess Chengnan, and sent North Korean leather clothes and hats to Xue Jiaoma, which finally made Xue Jiao smile.

Xu Qing had never fought, and Xue Jiao was quite worried about Xu Qing taking command of the Eastern Expedition, and asked him if he had any good strategies to pacify Korea.

Xu Qing said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and he will not rely on him alone to fight, he just needs to use Xue Rengui well.

Xue Rengui was a victorious general in the eastern expedition and the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, often taking the lead, leading two or three thousand subordinates to storm tens of thousands of Goguryeo and Baekje armies, and beheaded more than 10,000. But the years are not forgiving, Xue Rengui is already forty-three, and he has not been on the battlefield for five years, can he still charge into battle like he did five years ago?

Xue Jiao's heart was full of worry.

Xu Qing has a new army that blocks a hundred, it is impossible to defeat the Goguryeo, Baekje rebels and Silla army that use cold weapons, the new army is Xu Qing's trump card, and he doesn't want to make it public for the time being, seeing Xue Jiao's worry, he had to comfort Xue Jiao and said: "I have an ace army in my hand, I can block a hundred with one, when I first came to Chang'an, Wu Zetian's eight thousand troops attacked my dart game, and I was beaten by six hundred people under my command and fled, and nearly half of the casualties were killed, so Jiao Mei doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Xu Qing said this, and Xue Jiao was relieved.

Princess Chengnan's eyes lit up and asked Xu Qing how this army was trained.

Xu Qing said that it would be kept secret for the time being, and now is not the time to make this army public, otherwise it will be troublesome if he is learned by Wu Zetian, and he asks the Xue family to keep what he said today a secret.

The Xue family immediately said that they would keep it secret.

Xu Qing, the third year of junior high school, together with Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, and Li Zhizhuo, visited several royalist and neutral prime ministers and high-ranking officials such as Yushi and Shangshu, and flattered them.

The fourth prince went to the house of several uncles, princes and aunts in Beijing to pay New Year's greetings, and on the fifth day of the first month, he went to the Xuancheng Princess's Mansion and the Yiyang Princess Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the two sisters and brothers-in-law, and the sixth prince went to several royalists and neutral prime ministers, imperial historians, and Shangshu to pay New Year's greetings, which shows the weight of Xu Qing in the prince's heart.
