Wu Yajun was appointed as the chief general of the Western Expeditionary Army, leading 10,000 regular troops of Zuo Xiaowei, 10,000 government soldiers requisitioned from the Zhichong Prefecture of the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, Li Zhi's trusted general, Cheng Wuting, the son of the famous general of the Tang Dynasty and the demon king of the mixed world, Cheng Wuting, was appointed as the deputy general of the Western Expeditionary Army, leading the 10,000 regular troops of the Right Xiaowei and 10,000 government soldiers requisitioned from the Zhichong Prefecture of the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and jointly attacked the four towns of Anxi that fell into the hands of Tubo, and returned to the dynasty victoriously.

In fact, in the war, the most killed enemy was Cheng Jin's right Xiao guard, Wu Yajun as the main general hid behind and picked up the cheap, because he had an aunt Queen Wu Zetian covered the sky with one hand, and after returning to the dynasty after the victory, Wu Zetian attributed all the credit to Wu Yajun for his good command and shaped Wu Yajun into a hero in the Tang Army.

Wu Yajun is the most capable of military command among Wu Zetian's maiden nephews who are generals, but there is still a big gap between him and famous generals and good generals.

Cheng Wuting saw that the rewards obtained by Wu Yajun could fill several rooms, and his own rewards were not even a carriage, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting were generals in the same dynasty, and they were both famous generals loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and they had a good relationship in private.

Xu Qing thinks more long-term than Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui only thinks that his good brother is angry and wants to be angry for his good brother, Xu Qing thinks that when the struggle with Wu Zetian and his henchmen tends to be white-hot in the future, he needs allies and helpers, if Cheng Wuting is a famous general who does not have political support, Xu Qing will try to recruit him to his camp, but Cheng Wuting is a son of a meritorious family of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Li Tang royal family, if he resigns from the post of the general of the Right Xiao Guard, and goes to the Yiyang Princess's Mansion to be the general of the army, the loss will be too great, and when Xu Qing needs to employ people in the future, only Cheng Wuting is the helper, but if Xu Qing pulls Cheng Wuting to his side, but let him continue to serve as the general of the Right Xiao Guard, Cheng Wuting can lead the entire Right Xiao Guard to help Xu Qing in the future.

Therefore, Xu Qing thought of a compromise solution, opened an officer school in the two princesses' mansions, became the principal himself, and invited the famous generals, current or former generals of the Sixteenth Guard, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Li Zhizhuo, Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan, and the Sixteenth Guards generals Pei Judao and Yang Sijian as lecturers.

Liu Renliang and Liu Renyuan were centrists, and they didn't want to arouse Wu Zetian's suspicion because they were close to Xu Qing, so they refused Xu Qing's invitation.

Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Pei Judao, and Yang Sizhen accepted Xu Qing's invitation.

Xu Qing's military academy was named "Xuanyi Military Academy", taking the first word of the title of Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang, literally promoting "loyalty", this name is good, Xu Qing, Princess Xuancheng, Princess Yiyang and Emperor Li Zhi are very satisfied with this.

The Xuanyi Military Academy first had a principal and lecturers, but the classrooms had not yet been decided, and the students had not yet been recruited, which was rather peculiar. However, Xu Qing is not worried about enrollment at all, the 20,000 soldiers of the Two Princesses' Mansion will be recruited soon, and the officers are being selected. Each government has a general, ten generals (according to the establishment of the regiment in later generations, instead of one general in the 2,000 regular army popular in the Sixteenth Guard), 30 Lang generals (equivalent to the battalion commander of later generations), and 90 Zhonglang generals (equivalent to the company commander of later generations), and these 130 officers can become the first batch of students of the military academy after the soldiers of the two prefectures are officially formed into the army.

Li Zhizhuo didn't want to get too close to Xu Qing, so as not to suspect Wu Zetian of him, but he has always been a loyal servant of the Li Tang royal family, and from the bottom of his heart, he hopes to get closer to Xu Qing, the loyal guard of the Li Tang royal family. It is very detrimental to her growth, so it is recommended to increase Princess Taiping's bodyguards, and it is recommended that Li Zhizhuo's daughter Li Yingqi be the chief of guard of Princess Taiping, Li Zhi admires Xu Qing's ability very much, and is convinced of Xu Qingxing's identity as a physiognomy teacher, and accepts Xu Qing's suggestion.

On the one hand, Li Zhizhuo felt that the emperor trusted him more and had a stronger heart to repay the emperor's kindness, on the other hand, with Xu Qing, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Yang Sijian, and Pei Judao as allies, Li Zhizhuo's fear of Wu Zetian was greatly reduced, and he felt that if he repeatedly refused Xu Qing's invitation to join, he was afraid that he would wander away from the generals and royal groups loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and become rootless duckweed, without support. Taking refuge in Wu Zetian is tantamount to betraying the ancestors, and Li Zhizhuo can't do such a thing.

Li Zhizhuo thought about it again and again, agreed to Xu Qing's invitation, and became a lecturer at the Military Academy of the Two Princesses' Mansion, with a salary three times that of the imperial court Fenglu he is now getting. The salaries of the rest of the lecturers are also three times that of the imperial court Fenglu now, and Xue Rengui is the salary of the general of the Xuancheng Princess's Mansion and the imperial court.

Wu Zetian felt that Xu Qing's development momentum was too fast, so fast that she couldn't resist, Xu Qing's supporters behind the scenes were not only Yan Wang Li Yong, but also the emperor Li Zhi who was strictly controlled by Wu Zetian's wife and always wanted to resist.

Wu Yajun returned triumphantly from the western expedition, giving the frustrated Wu Zetian a shot in the arm. Wu Zetian's nephews such as Wu Yajun, Wu Chengsi, and Wu Sansi, Wu Zhenghui and other nephews, and his henchman Yan Shuang, the head of Xuanxuanmen, Feng Shicheng, the general of the Right Weiwei, and Wu Zetian's other set of prime ministers' team "North Gate Bachelor", convened a meeting to discuss the strategy of dealing with Xu Qing, and came up with several serial plans to attack and deal with Xu Qing:

The first plan is to repentance of the marriage of Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang, abandon the concubine who has been engaged, has already set up a wedding banquet, and almost visited the church to get married, and the matter of empathy and love for Xu Qing has been widely publicized in Chang'an, making it a household name, and ruining the reputation of Xu Qing, Princess Xuancheng, Princess Yiyang and the Li Tang royal family;

The second plan is to launch the official in the court to accuse the prince of going to the Qinglou to have fun, losing his personal morality, and not worthy of being the prince of the Tang Dynasty, taking the opportunity to abolish the words of the Empress Wu and working against the Empress Wu, but he enjoys a high reputation among the ministers and the people, and is the core figure of the royalist party, Li Hong, the crown prince, and the obedient Wu Zetian's second son Li Xian is the prince, even if the prince cannot be abolished because of a trivial matter, the reputation of the prince will be ruined, and the reputation of the Li Tang royal family will be damaged;

The third plan was to organize 50,000 samurai troops to conquer the rebellious areas of Goguryeo and Baekje, seize the land and population of the rebellious areas, and prevent the land and population of the rebellious areas from falling into the hands of Xu Qing and King Yan.

Fourth, before the Wujia army conquered the east, a large-scale military exercise was carried out in the Bashang barracks, and all units of the Wujia army had to participate in the exercise, and the demonstration to Xu Qing and the royalists headed by him was actually a demonstration to the weak emperor Li Zhi, but it was inconvenient to say, and it was also a training before the expedition to the east.

Wu Zhenghui worked very hard to fight his rival, and as soon as the meeting ended, he added fuel and vinegar to spread the news that Xu Qing spent "one hundred taels of gold" to the "Tianxiang Pavilion" nodding red prostitute "Rose" to play the piano and sing, and then spent "one thousand taels of gold" to bring the "rose" back for the night. What is the concept of 1,000 taels of gold, more than 1,000 ordinary people's income for two years, plus Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang are in love with Xu Qing, Xu Qing went to a brothel with Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang behind his back, this news is also explosive news. These two explosive news spread far and wide and spread to every corner of Chang'an.

Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang are princesses in distress, they don't have the princess's shelf at all, and they don't have the princess's temper, although they feel uncomfortable when they hear the news, they still endure it, and they don't scold Xu Qing, so they don't think they've heard of it.

However, Zhao Mengchen fought for the two princesses and Yang Zhuangruo, Helan Minyue, Chu Zizi, and Lin Fengying, and scolded Xu Qinghuaxin.

Xu Qing also thought that he hid the "Rose" in the Longmen Dart Bureau, and Zhao Tuozhi was a person who did big things, he didn't like to talk too much, Nie Hu and Jia Quan were his loyal subordinates, they would not spread the matter, how did they know that the matter would be exposed so soon, and sincerely admitted their mistakes to Zhao Mengchen and several prospective ladies, saying that he was the enemy of Wu Zetian, who was sinister and cunning, ruthless, and covered the sky with one hand, and was the leader of the royalist party, and the pressure was very high. Not a dirty woman.
