Wucheng Palace.

On the right side of the Vientiane Shrine, it is also the place where the empress came to the court, and since the empress ascended the throne and ruled the world, it has become the place of the small court. At this moment, the empress summoned officials above the third rank, as well as the deputy prime minister who was qualified to participate in political affairs, to discuss the matter of peace in Tibet.

In the main hall, the empress sat on top of the dan mound, looking at a group of high-grade officials, the empress felt irritated, these high-ranking officials, to say that they have no ability, but there is still a little bit, to say that they have the ability, but it is really unsatisfactory.

The empress also knew that this was inseparable from her governance methods, but she would not admit it, and no emperor would admit her mistakes, let alone question her ability to govern. She, a generation of empresses, rules the world, holds the power of punishment and reward, she is unique.

However, the Tibetans, the Eastern Turks, and the Khitan, let her rule the world, the empire she ruled was constantly in trouble, and after several wars, she lost many teachers and humiliated the country, which made her majestic. Especially now that all three are harming their own frontiers.

Now that Tubo has proposed peace, this has to be said to be an opportunity, and the Eastern Turks have asked to return to Hexi to surrender to the household, if so, the Eastern Turks are also used by her, then the Khitan can be destroyed in the near future, why worry about the border troubles? But there is a problem, she must consider the feelings of the officials and the opinions of the people in the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have known about today's court discussion, so what do you think about making peace with Tubo?" The Empress asked.

In the court, such as Dou Lu Qinwang, Yang Zaisi, Su Wei, Yao Xuan and others, can achieve the position of prime minister, except for luck, which one is not a human spirit? Make peace with Tibet? This was a shame in the Tang Dynasty. If peace is negotiated, will it not be scolded to death by future generations? They are not very good in character, but they are very important to their reputation after death. So none of the prime ministers spoke.

The hall was silent. The empress suddenly felt, why was she singing a one-man show? It seems that all the prime ministers are reluctant to talk about this matter of peace in Tibet, for fear of taking responsibility.

At this time, the Tianguan Shilang and the Fengge Luantai Pingzhang Yan Yuansun came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to negotiate peace with Tubo, but if you look at the conditions of Tubo. Tubo regards my big Zhou as fish on the board, this case can not be opened, if you agree to Tubo. There are also the Eastern Turks, and the Khitan, if they are also like the Tibetans, then how will the court and the holy generals deal with themselves? Wechen implores the saint to think twice! ”

Yan Yuansun is a scholar of science. Therefore, he can be regarded as representing the opinion of the people of science.

The Empress nodded heartily. praised Yan Yuansun in his heart, so he asked: "Then according to Aiqing's intentions, how to solve the matter of the Tubo peace negotiation?" ”

Yan Yuansun had already discussed with Song Jing and others, so he knew what to expect, so he bowed down and replied, "This time Tubo negotiated peace, but it was only because Tubo attacked Shanzhou City for a long time, and Tubo sent an envoy to Qinling. Whether this is the envoy of Tubo Zampu, Weichen does not know. And before. Wei Wang Shuai Da Zhou's elite defeated Qinling in the Luohan Valley, and the 100,000 troops of Qinling fled to Shanzhou less than 10,000. According to Weichen's opinion, the matter of peace with Tubo can be handed over to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and he believes that he must be familiar with the affairs of Tubo. King Wei is out of the horse, which will definitely make my Da Zhou raise his eyebrows! ”

Many ministers in the court nodded frequently, and Neishi Dou Lu Qinwang first seconded the proposal, as for Yang Zaisi and Su Wei, they still had to look at the empress's face, and seeing that the empress was not angry, they also hurriedly seconded the proposal, and it was the best choice to push it to King Wei.

"The ministers seconded it!" Yang Zaisi and Su Wei glanced at each other and bowed in unison.

Most of the prime ministers seconded the proposal, what else can the rest of the hundred officials say?

Chunguan Shangshu Wusan thought about saying something else, but he really didn't have a few drops of ink in his stomach, his face was flushed, and he could only seconded it in the end.

When the empress saw that the hundred officials were like this, she had no choice but to issue an order to hand over the matter of peace with Tubo to the King of Wei, and named Wu Chu as the envoy of Longyou's patrol and disposal.

The next thing to discuss is the Hexi Surrender, Hexi Surrender is an Eastern Turkic branch, because of the internal chaos of the Eastern Turks, there is a tribe of about 30,000 people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and decades have passed since then. Nowadays, there are about more than 100,000 people living in Hexi Prefectures, and if the Eastern Turks want to develop and grow, they must have a population, so Hexi households are a relatively large population resource.

If the country wants to develop, then there must be someone first, Mo Du is not a fool, and directly plundering the population of the Great Zhou will make the Great Zhou disgusted or even resist, and the plundered Han people are only slaves. Therefore, it is a good choice to return to the Turkic tribes that once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Prime Minister Su Wei is known as "Su Moleng", so he will not admonish. But Yang Zaisi didn't dare to say anything, after all, although his character is cowardly, he is still very good at observing words and feelings.

So Yang Zaisi came out of the class and said: "The Turkic tribes in Hexi in Fengzhou, Lingzhou, Shazhou, Guazhou and other six prefectures originally belonged to the Turks, so why not return them to the Eastern Turks and give them farm tools, grain seeds and other things, with the heart of the Andong Turks, by the way, they can also be ordered to attack the Khitan, which kills two birds with one stone." ”

This statement hit the empress's heart, and the empress smiled, and was about to give an order, but was interrupted by the courtiers.

But it was Li Qiao, the superintendent of the palace, "Holy Lord, this move must not be, if it is returned to the household, then how should the Siyi tribe who are attached to my Great Zhou feel, and where is the credibility of my Great Zhou?" The surrender of the six states of Hexi was unbearable for the Eastern Turkic Khan's rampant conquest and surrendered to the previous dynasty, but now the Great Zhou is going to be returned, and the ministers are afraid that the Siyi tribe attached to the border states will have since left Germany. Think twice! ”

Li Qiao is the first Jinshi who was awarded the title of official in the Empress Palace, with outstanding literary talent and good poetry, but he didn't expect to be admonished today. According to Li Qiao's official character and official position, there is no part of him speaking in the court today, but now that he has spoken out, it seems unusual.

Nayan Yao Xuan retorted: "Shengshang, now that the Khitan Xi people are rebelling, there are more than 100,000 elites, Tubo is still in Shanzhou, and the Eastern Turks have 200,000 armor, if the three are combined, there will be 400,000 troops, and our large surrounding army is stationed everywhere, and there are only 200,000 when it is full, how many troops are left now?" So, how do I deal with it? ”

Yao Xuan's words hit the empress's weakness, and the officials didn't know what to say for a while. If you look at the number, for a while. Da Zhou really has no way, but in the long run, the result may not be bad. It's a pity that there are no people of insight like Di Renjie and Lou Shide in the court. And Yao Yuanchong, who is showing his talents, is still on the way to Beijing, and Song Jing is just a Fengge housekeeper, and has not yet entered the political hall.

The most important thing is that Wu Zhuang, the king of Wei, was still on the road to the city of Shanzhou.

The huge pressure forced the empress to agree to the demands of the Eastern Turks, but the matter was not over yet!

A few days later.

Wu Zheng, the king of Wei, led an army of 60,000 and entered the city of Shanzhou. Lou Shide knelt down and pleaded guilty, and Wu Zheng was embarrassed to let this veteran do this, not to mention. Lou Shide was at fault, but there was no big mistake, and the credit was still great, at least he kept Shanzhou City.

Wu ordered the army to be stationed outside the city. Then he led the guards into the Governor's Mansion of Shanzhou City. The governor of Shanzhou, Murong Si, is a lineage of the Tuyuhun royal family, of course, the Tuyuhun royal family moved to Lingzhou, Gaozong was named Anle Prefecture during the period, and the Tuyuhun Khan hereditary assassination history, but the Tuyuhun tribe that migrated to Lingzhou is a minority after all, since it was occupied by Tubo, the Tuyuhun tribes are mostly scattered in the west of the Longyou River, such as Liangzhou and Shanzhou. In the city of Shanzhou. The people of Tuyuhun accounted for almost half, and the court also understood the Tuyuhun royal family. He made Murong Si the governor of Shanzhou and managed the Tuyuhun tribe in the territory.

Now, after Lou Shide retreated to Shanzhou City, he recruited 20,000 warriors, most of whom were Tuyuhun men. After daily drills and more than a dozen solid defensive battles, the 20,000 soldiers who have been continuously replenished have grown into veterans!

Wu Chuan greatly praised this, and it was commendable that he was able to recruit and train soldiers for the country at a time when the country was in crisis. Lou Shide didn't dare to take credit, if it weren't for Wu Chuan who wiped out the nearly 200,000 army of Nonqinling, Shanzhou City really couldn't hold it.

But in any case, the Tibetan side has stabilized, the Khitan side is still too far away, and the current crisis is the southward movement of the Eastern Turks. If it is according to the time, then Kou plundered Liangzhou and other places, and it will be within these ten days!

That night, Wu Chuan and Lou Shide talked all night in order to find a solution to the problems of Tubo and the Eastern Turks, but Lou Shide did not have much strategic achievements, and after talking for a long time, Wu Zong let Lou Shide go to rest.

Looking at the night sky outside the window, I saw the stars, one bright and one dark, it was a kind of celestial phenomenon, but unfortunately there was no astronomical telescope, otherwise I would take a good look at it and relieve the depression in my heart.

Wu Chu didn't know why the ancients had so many superstitions about celestial phenomena, but it was obvious that this superstitious thing was exactly what the king and the people needed. Shouldn't he also take advantage of it? But then I thought about it, this is not his style, the fool is foolish, he can't even pass his own level, how can he coax others, not to mention that he already has what he has in this life, and he is short of the emperor's position.

Wu Shu looked at Zi Weixing, he really couldn't see what was wrong with this Zi Weixing? Thinking that the empress is seventy-three years old, I'm afraid it won't be long, but this purple microstar is still bright, and it seems that she can't die for the time being.

He shook his head mockingly, then drank a bowl of tea and continued to look at the map with the lamp.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside the door, and hearing that it was a code, Wu Chu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

The person who came was dressed in black, but her figure was slender, obviously a woman, I saw her take off the Su curtain cover, revealing a pretty face, this is a woman about thirty years old, she bowed down and said: "Shanzhou Station Master, Murong Yun has seen the Lord." Then he took out the identity card, and saw that there was a gold medal on it, which was engraved with Wu Chu's head, and on the back was three numbers, "one three eight".

Wu Chu was still very hesitant, after all, a gold medal could not mean anything, Murong Yun saw Wu Chu hesitating, so he quickly tore open his chest, revealing half of his breasts, and a butterfly was printed on the white pepper milk.

Only then did Wu Shui understand that it was Butterfly Guard, but how did Butterfly Guard become the head of the intelligence station?

Murong Yun said softly: "The slave maid's family is here, and the slave and maid also like intelligence, so the lady arranged the slave and maid here to replace the original stationmaster. “

Wu Shu nodded, now that the intelligence system is managed by Yuwen Su'e and Yan Ruyu, he has long since asked about many personnel transfers. Then he asked, "What news do you want to tell me?" ”

Murong Yun said: "Madame Feige sent a message, and Tubo sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the empress, and the empress made the lord the envoy of Longyou's visit and disposal, presiding over the peace negotiations with Tubo. ”

"Longyou patrol the disposal envoy? So much power? Wu Chu couldn't help but be stunned, in this way, coupled with the fact that he is now controlling the Longyou army and protecting the capital of Anxi, then most of the power of the entire Longyou Dao will be attributed to him alone.

Why did the Empress do this? She must still have a purpose. So he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Murong Yun said in a low voice: "The Eastern Turks please return to Hexi to surrender to the household, the empress agreed, and is ready to send Yan Zhiwei as an envoy to Hexi to deal with the matter of returning the household. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, and he stretched out his hand to shoot it, but he stopped suddenly, Master Qingfeng Daoren's words made him suppress his anger, and Senior Sister Yuwen Su'e often persuaded her side, anger could only make him more angry, and he had to learn to channel and suppress. When the senior sister was around, all the anger was vented on Yuwen Su'e's body, and now that the senior sister is not there, how to channel it?

Suddenly, there was an aura spreading in the room, until Wu Yun slowly stretched out his hand, he stretched out to Murong Yun's chest, and Murong Yun stood still. Immediately, Wu Chu tore open the neckline, and the pepper milk with butterflies appeared in his eyes again, he reached out and gently pressed the jujube core, the jujube core seemed to be full of elasticity, and after pressing, it immediately bounced up again.

Murong Yun trembled, groaned, and did not resist.

Wu Zheng, who had not touched a woman for several months, finally broke out and roared like a beast, and he pulled Murong Yun's body and pressed it on the bookcase......

When the sky was bright, Murong Yun left the room gently, and the guards didn't feel anything abnormal. But Wu Zheng, who came out of the door for a while, was in good spirits, picked up a spear, and actually practiced marksmanship.

Last night, he felt the stimulation of stealing, the body of a woman who practices martial arts is really too different, no matter the wind and rain, there are really not many such women. The depression that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time was once dissipated, and he felt that his body was full of strength, even if it was ten more royal maidens.

Moreover, as soon as the depression dissipated, his thinking broadened, and he had already come up with a way to deal with the Tibetans and the Turks.

Call!

He shot out, and eight spearheads appeared! (To be continued......)
