The day of leaving Beiting is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who are recuperating in Shanzhou have rushed to Chang'an one after another, ready to go to Beiting together, there are always a thousand things before departure, Li Qing'an has been so busy in the past two days that he has not been able to leave his feet, he went to Beiting to take up his post, not empty-handed, but to bring a large number of military supplies.

Go to the military department to get information, go to Taicang and Zuozang to get money and grain, go to the ordnance supervisor to prepare weapons tents, and arrange for the people's carriages, in addition, the establishment of the military weapons supervisor in the north courtyard and the general as the supervisor and the matter of supporting the envoy was also approved, and the Shaofu Temple also agreed to build a coinage furnace in the north courtyard.

There are all kinds of things, and he has to do everything by himself, although there are Cen Shen, Wang Changling and other subordinates who can help, but just going through the procedures in various temples makes him tired of socializing.

On the morning of this day, Li Qingan rushed to Xingqing Palace, and on the eve of departure, Li Longji also had a few words to explain to him.

When he arrived at Xingqing Palace, he was told that the saint had not yet gone to court, so he had to wait patiently outside the Datong Palace, at this time, he faintly heard a cold snort, looking for its source, but saw a fat middle-aged man sitting behind the pillars at the other end of the hall, the characteristic pumpkin face, a long thin eye, but not An Lushan Who is it?

"It turned out to be An Shuai!"

Li Qingan stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, I didn't know that An Shuai was also in Chang'an." ”

An Lushan has been in a really bad mood for the past two days, the life and death of the staff Yan Zhuang is unknown, and he has lost a lot of money to the Yang family, which is okay, but Absi sent someone the day before yesterday to say that his subordinates have become accustomed to Shuofang life and unanimously oppose going to Youzhou, and he can't do anything about it, so he can only thank him for An Lushan's kindness, An Lushan knows that it is his excuse, but he is helpless, and there is no personal consultation, so he has to breathe in his heart, he will also return to Fan Yang tomorrow, and he will resign to the saint today, but he happened to see Li Qingan.

An Lushan looked down on Li Qing'an the most, when he led his troops to fight, Li Qing'an was probably still playing with mud! Now he has actually become the deputy envoy of Beiting Jiedu, holding the military and political power of Beiting, and he is almost on an equal footing with him An Lushan, which makes him extremely unhappy, seeing Li Qingan coming to greet him, he glanced at Li Qingan coldly, but ignored him.

At this moment, a bell rang in the hall, this is Li Longji's last dynasty began to deal with government affairs, and there were eunuchs shouting from afar: "There is a decree in the saint, Li Qing'an, the deputy envoy of the Xuanbei Court, will meet you!" ”

"What!"

An Lushan was furious, he had already arrived, and the saint actually wanted to see Li Qing'an first, is his An Lushan's status not as good as a newcomer.

Li Qingan smiled and said, "Since the Holy Lord wants to see me first, then I will be rude, An Shuai, please don't be impatient." ”

He walked into the imperial study quickly, An Lushan stared at his back, gritted his teeth with hatred, new hatred and old hatred surged into his heart together, he smashed his fist on the beam, and scolded in a low voice: "Li Qing'an, you just wait and see!" ”

．．．．．．．．

Li Longji did deliberately want to see Li Qing'an first, not that Li Qing'an was more important than An Lushan, but that he just knew that it was An Lushan who killed Dong Yanguang, which made him really annoyed in his heart, his first reaction was that An Lushan was acting for King Qing, killing Dong Yanguang and extinguishing his mouth, Dong Yanguang's death is not important, the important thing is that An Lushan actually hooked up with King Qing, which made Li Longji vigilant, he knew that King Qing was ambitious and wanted to replace the crown prince, this is normal, this is the case in all dynasties, as long as King Qing performs well, He may have given his eldest son a chance, but he could not tolerate collusion between the prince and the foreign vassals, which would mean that the prince could control the army, and it would not only be the crown prince who would threaten his throne at that time.

It's just that Li Longji has no evidence, and An Lushan is also a general he trusts, so he decided to warn An Lushan for the time being, and meeting Li Qingan first was his dissatisfaction with An Lushan's unauthorized killing of Dong Yanguang.

"Minister Li Qing'an, see Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Qing'an's sight interrupted Li Longji's train of thought, he looked at the heroic young man in front of him, as if he saw his young figure in him, Li Longji nodded with a smile and said, "General Li is leaving tomorrow!" ”

"Exactly!"

"Have you completed all the formalities for each temple?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's basically done."

Li Longji was playing with a jade lion paperweight, he pondered for a moment and then smiled: "How could General Li offend Mrs. Qiuguo?" She told me several times that you are debauched and debauched, and you go in and out of the wind and moon at night, and I can see that she has a deep prejudice against you! ”

Li Qingxin sighed secretly, bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't know why he offended Mrs. Qiuguo, maybe it was the daughter of Mrs. Han last time, the minister didn't agree, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiuguo made a mistake when he went out of the party, and the minister has never set foot in the Qinglou of the teaching workshop." ”

"I don't object to going to the Qinglou in my spare time to relax in the Qinglou, but I just have to grasp a degree, and don't miss my duty for this matter."

Li Longji said lightly, and then stopped mentioning Yang Huahua, he smiled again: "But then again, my concubine likes you very much, and often says good things about you in front of me, which is really interesting, and their sisters either disdain you, or hate you to the bone, or they like you very much, General Li, you and the Yang family seem to have a lot of fate!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji stared at Li Qing'an and said slowly: "Actually, last time, the daughter of Mrs. Korea was good, gentle and well-behaved, and I also liked it very much, why don't you want to?" You must know that marrying the Yang family will be very beneficial to your future. ”

Li Qing'an shook his head resolutely, and said loudly: "The minister is more willing to open up territory for His Majesty and let the name of the Heavenly Khan be powerful to win the future. ”

"Well said!"

Li Longji stroked his palms and laughed, and praised repeatedly: "This is the true nature of a husband." ”

He walked quickly to the wall, brushed the ground and opened the curtain, revealing a vast map of Anxi, he picked up the wooden pole and pointed to Nanzhao and said: "After the battle of Shibao City, the focus of my attention is two places, one is Nanzhao, Nanzhao sits big, faintly has the meaning of collusion with Tubo, once the two join forces, the threat to Shuzhong is huge, so I ordered Yang Zhao to sit in Jiannan and solve the trend of Nanzhao's big sitting." ”

His wooden pole moved to Beiting and Anxi, and continued: "The second is Anxi, after the battle of Shibao City, the threat of Tubo to Longyou in Hexi weakened, and my next goal is to restore the Broken Leaf Military Town and restore the influence of my Tang Dynasty on Lingxi. ”

Li Longji put down the wooden pole and sat back in his seat, he pondered for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "In the second year of Zhongzong Shenlong, the Great Food Army attacked Lingxi on a large scale, and Zhaowu Zhuhu Lian asked the imperial court for help, but at that time, Tubo was at odds with the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court had no time to look westward, so it had to support the Tuqi Shi people to fight against the eastward expansion of the Great Food. This is also the reason why I handed over the North Court to you, I hope that you can use the spirit of a young man to expand westward, and not blindly defend like Fumeng Lingcha, like that, I don't like it. ”

Li Qingan bowed down and said: "The minister is willing to be His Majesty's sword to open up the territory and open up the territory, and insert the Tang Dragon Banner into the Broken Leaf City as soon as possible!" ”

"Good!"

Li Longji took a book of recitals, and said with a smile: "This is a book written by Gao Xianzhi, saying that the land of the Anxi military camp has increased, the food is abundant, and the number of Han troops in Anxi is increased, and I have discussed with the political affairs hall, Anxi is not better than Longyou, and the recruitment of troops in Anxi is bound to increase the number of military households moving westward, in the past two years, Hedong and Henan have been continuously affected by disasters, and the people are living in hardship, so that the Anxi army can be expanded to 34,000 people, and the army of the North Court can be expanded to 30,000, in addition, I have agreed to Li Xiangguo's proposal, The second superintendent of the military and the second superintendent of the military will each move 500 craftsmen to Beiting, and at the same time allow Beiting to open mines and mint money, so as to make Beiting prosperous and attract more Han people to move westward, as long as the Han people reach a certain number, my Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions will be greatly enhanced, which is a long-term development plan. ”

Li Qing'an nodded silently, he suddenly remembered the development of Xinjiang Province in later generations, in fact, for thousands of years, the strategy of the central court for the Western Regions has been in the same vein, and Li Longji's decision to increase the number of Han people in the northwest court of Anxi is correct.

．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an had lunch in the palace, then left Xingqing Palace, seeing that the hour was already in the afternoon, he came to Dugu Mansion unconsciously, not only Mingyue had no news these days, even Mingzhu did not come to him, it may be that the two sisters went home too late that night, they were punished, but tomorrow he thinks he will leave Chang'an, no matter what, he has to see Mingyue.

The front of Dugu's mansion was deserted, Mingyue's father had returned to Yangzhou, and his grandfather Dugu Shi had not returned to the court, Li Qingan walked up the steps, took out a famous poster and handed it to the porter and said with a smile: "I am Li Qing'an in Beiting, I want to see Miss Mingyue." ”

The porter looked at him in surprise, and hurriedly took the name card and said, "General Li, wait a minute, I'll go." ”

He ran to the mansion, Li Qingan waited patiently at the door, but he couldn't wait for the left, and he didn't come for the right, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, at this time, another porter next to him whispered: "General Li, Zhang Shangshu came to ask for a kiss for that Zhao Xuming last night." ”

Li Qingan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" ”

"I heard that the lady was willing, but the old lady was unwilling, and the two had a quarrel, so the old man said to Zhang Xiangguo that he had to ask for the master's opinion on this matter, but the old man was in Yangzhou, and the matter seemed to be over."

"It's been a long time for General Li to wait."

The housekeeper of Dugu Mansion walked out quickly, bowed to Li Qing'an, and said, "General Li, Madame said that Yue is not in good health and is not suitable to see guests, so please ask General Li to come back again." ”

"What about Mingzhu?"

"Mingzhu violated family rules on the first night of the year, was grounded by his wife, and was not allowed to go out of the house for a month."

Speaking of this, the housekeeper sighed and said: "General Li is interested in my girl, the whole city knows, yesterday Zhang Shangshu personally came to propose marriage for his disciples, and the master didn't want to offend Zhang Shangshu, so he dragged down the matter of Mingyue girl, this matter is very different in the family, and now it is very troublesome, and above the limelight, General Li should avoid it for the time being!" ”

Li Qingan also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, but he was leaving tomorrow, he just wanted to say goodbye to Mingyue, he thought about it, then took out a piece of jade from his arms, handed it to the housekeeper and said: "I will go to Beiting tomorrow, as soon as I go for many years, please give this jade to Mingyue, and then transfer a sentence to her for me: The snow mountain gives birth to Mingyue, and the end of the world is at this time." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, the housekeeper looked at his back, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, hid the jade, walked back to the house, just walked to the courtyard, but saw Mrs. Pei standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Madam, he has left." ”

"It's kind of intellectual."

Mrs. Pei sneered and said, "What did he say?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, he said that he will return to Beiting tomorrow, and he has been going for many years, and he doesn't know when he will return, he hopes that Miss Mingyue will wait for him."

"Wait for him?" Mrs. Pei said disdainfully: "Why do you want my daughter to wait for him." ”

She snorted, turned around and left, and the housekeeper saw that the figure of the lady had disappeared, so he secretly found a maid, gave Baoyu to her, and whispered a few words in her ear, "Go quickly!" Be careful not to let Madame know. ”

The maid nodded and ran, the housekeeper left the courtyard in a hurry, and silence returned to the lonely house.

．．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an returned to the Gaolishi house, at this time the east courtyard of the Gaolishi house was very lively, the soldiers had arrived, everyone was busy packing up, all of them were elated, the atmosphere was very lively, all kinds of suitcases and cages were piled up in the courtyard like a hill, Li Fei Shouyu stood aside, commanding the soldiers to place the boxes in separate rows, he was hit by an arrow during the battle of Chiling, with a strong body, the injury has gradually healed.

When he saw Li Qing'an coming, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Qilang, do you want to buy something for Shirutu, do you want to buy something for Shirutu?" ”

"Madame Gao has prepared it for them."

Li Qingan looked around again and asked with a smile, "What about Lao Li?" Where did that guy go? ”

"I guess it's in the room, alas! That guy. Li Fei Shouyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'll go see him."

Li Qingan came to a small courtyard, which was where Li Fei Yuanli was recuperating, and he had just walked to the door, but he heard the sound of Li Fei Yuanli's broken gong from inside.

"Sanniang, if you obey me, I will definitely marry you, you promise me!"

"Let's wait until you're completely healed! Don't worry! All right? ”

"But I want it now, you see I'm as strong as an ox."

"Take your hands away, don't touch them, I don't know if you're in good shape?"

"Sanniang, just give it to me!"

"Well, what if you don't wait for the evening, it's daytime?"

Li Qingan was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran, Li Fei Yuanli actually ..... with Shi Sanniang

Fate!

He walked back to the courtyard and was about to go to the room to take a look at the dance clothes, when Steward Luo came running and said, "General Li, someone is looking for you at the door, saying that it is the owner of Atami Residence." ”

Li Qingan was stunned, and often came in to find himself what to do? He hurriedly followed Steward Luo to the door, only to see two people standing at the door, one of them was Chang Jin, and the other was majestic, with a big head, a foot tall, a big shoulder, a round waist, and a pair of eyes with big copper bells.

Chang Jin saw Li Qing'an coming out, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard that General Li is going back to Beiting, so I came to see him off." ”

Li Qingan also returned the salute and smiled: "Doesn't the proprietor often go to break leaves?" We'll have a chance to meet. ”

He looked at the big man next to him again, and asked with a smile, "Who is this strong man?" ”

Chang Jin hurriedly introduced: "This is a friend of mine, quite chivalrous, he has always wanted to go to Anxi to join the army, I am here to introduce General Li." ”

The big man stepped forward, half-knelt and saluted: "The villain sees Li Yuanjun!" ”

Li Qing'an saw that he had an extraordinary appearance, and suddenly had a good impression in his heart, so he hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Of course I welcome the strong man to the North Garden, may I ask the strong man's name?" ”

"Under the surname Lei, the name Wanchun, the four seas are home!"
