Li Zhaode stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully: "Once the situation in the southwest is chaotic, it will become a big disaster for the country, and now that the imperial court is using troops against the Western Regions, it must not be forced too much, otherwise if the barbarians defect to Tubo or Nanzhao, the situation will be even more out of control." The ethnic groups in the southwest are intertwined, and the situation has always been complicated, and restraint is the most suitable policy there, so it is better to suppress and appease, and it is better to suppress and appease.

Now, according to Yang Fan's words, the barbarian rebellion is to be blackmailed and coerced, and he resists in anger, so it is more appropriate to give grace and appeasement. The minister thought that he only needed to punish the first evil and resolve the resentment of the barbarians, and this turmoil would naturally dissipate. Bixia should decisively order Huang Jingrong to be punished, and then order the officials of Jiannan Province to pacify and calm down the situation as soon as possible. ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Zhaode and asked, "Li Xiang is sitting in the capital like me, how do you know that the situation in Jiannan is just as Yang Fan said?" If the judgment is wrong, and the barbarians really have the intention to rebel, and they have already secretly colluded with Tubo and Nanzhao, then once the imperial court is slow to send troops, I am afraid that Wang Xiaojie's way back to the east will also be cut off! ”

Li Zhaode said calmly: "The two of them say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the minister is now only relying on a letter from the two of them, so it is naturally difficult to distinguish right from wrong." However, if it is supplemented by the recent recitals of the officials of Jiannan Province, it is clear what the minister thinks is the truth. ”

Wu Zetian is old, his energy is not good, and he no longer works hard about state affairs, since she has Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, two beautiful men, she is indulged in pleasure every day, and she is even less concerned about state affairs.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The chapter that Li Xiang said was sent to Jingshi a few days ago, and the sage has already approved it, so Wan'er will look for it." ”

Shangguan Wan'er searched for a while, turned out a few chapters, and handed them to Wu Zetian, the top one was the chapter of Zhang Cambodia, the assassin of Netzhou.

In the recital, Zhang Cambodia accused Huang Jingrong of extorting localities, taking bribes on a large scale, slaughtering innocent people, and in order to extort benefits, he also engaged in a big gang and arranged the crime of rebellion against the barbarian leaders. Intimidation in the name of the imperial court. Forcing them to contribute their wealth to ward off disasters.

It is also mentioned that Huang Jingrong detained the leader of the barbarian tribe and refused to release him only after receiving contributions, and also mentioned that the leaders of two small tribes were forcibly accused by him of being accomplices in the rebellion because they did not contribute, and their leaders were executed.

Zhang Cambodia said in the chapter that the barbarian people in the southwest are fierce and the people are martial. Huang Jingrong's actions have aroused the resentment of all ethnic groups, and if he does not issue an order to reprimand and order repentance, he may have unforeseen consequences.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian suddenly had an impression. She did see such a piece of music a few days ago, but she didn't care about it at the time, but felt that Zhang Khan's words were too much.

This Zhang Cambodia was originally promoted to Beijing by her, and made him a member of the Fengge House, which cannot be said to be reused. Who knew that this person didn't know what to do, and repeatedly refuted her will, Wu Zetian drove him out of the capital in a fit of anger, and since then he has no good impression of this person.

In addition, the imperial history is to supervise hundreds of officials. It was supposed to be on the opposite side of the officials. Not very popular, she doesn't care about the impeachment of the imperial history by officials. Yu Shi doesn't care about the soldiers and doesn't govern, in her opinion, it won't cause a big harm, if the officials are full of good things for the Yu Shi, it will be really dangerous.

In particular, Zhang Cambodia is a magistrate, and Huang Jingrong is the imperial history of the Beijing faction, and the positions of the two are very different. Zhang Cambodia was an official for one term, and he was concerned about the stability and local interests in his jurisdiction, and the court officials were ordered to go out of Beijing, and they were inherently in conflict with the local officials, and it was inevitable that they would not be welcomed.

With this consideration, Wu Zetian didn't take Zhang Cambodia's words to heart, he just thought that he was bluffing and wanted to drive Huang Jingrong away, and didn't want Huang Jingrong to cause some trouble in his territory and come out and ask him to rub his buttocks. Now looking at Zhang Cambodia's letter, Wu Zetian's thoughts are very different.

Wu Zetian looked at several other letters, which were all of Zhang Cambodia's initiation of the impeachment of Huang Jingrong with his friend Haode Jiannandao colleagues, although the words were much gentler than Zhang Cambodia's, but the meaning was much the same.

The so-called three people become tigers, not to mention that Huang Jingrong is really powerful in Jiannan Dao, and he has a lot of handles to grasp, most of these chapters cite some examples, Wu Zetian became more and more angry the more he looked at it, and couldn't help asking: "Who is the Jiannan Dao Observation Envoy?" ”

Li Zhaode bowed and said: "It's the superintendent of the imperial history Pei Huaigu!" ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial court often sent envoys from time to time to supervise the provinces and prefectures and counties, and the names were uncertain, such as interviewing envoys, observing envoys, inspecting envoys, inspecting envoys, or observing and disposing of festivals. Now Pei Huaigu is the observer of Jiannan Dao, which is equivalent to the highest governor of the Dao.

Wu Zetian said: "Spread the message to Pei Huaigu with an eight-hundred-mile fast horse, and ordered him to be the ambassador to appease the barbarians, and immediately go to Yaozhou to appease the barbarians and calm down the incident." On the day of the purpose, Huang Jingrong will be removed from his status and suspended from his post to participate! ”

Li Zhaode got up and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The reason why Wu Zetian didn't hand over this mission to Yang Fan was because of her considerations.

First of all, Pei Huaigu is the highest governor of Jiannan Province, and the rebellion in Jiannan Province is his part, and it is natural for him to be responsible, bypassing the governor of this place and sending a Beijing official to go, many things have to be constantly communicated with Jingli and local officials in Jiannan Province, and the Beijing official is not familiar with the local situation, and it is inevitable that there will be chaos again.

On the other hand, Yang Fan is a visiting envoy of the Zhudao people, and he is not only responsible for the affairs of Jiannan Dao. When will the rebellion in Jiannan Province be quelled through negotiations, what will be the follow-up development, and a series of aftermath matters after it will be quelled, it will take a lot of time, and it is impossible for Yang Fan to stay in Yaozhou to solve this matter all the time.

Especially after this incident, Wu Zetian hoped to learn about the situation of the other imperial historians through his supervision.

In addition, Yang Fan and Huang Jingrong are opposites, although Wu Zetian now believes eighty percent of Yang Fan's statement, but Huang Jingrong's statement is not unreasonable. Yushitai reported that there were signs of rebellion among the people of Zhudaoliu, and the imperial court sent people to investigate, and there was indeed a rebellion there.

Wu Zetian is not undoubted about this, if Huang Jingrong's nemesis is asked to investigate him, I am afraid that if there is any doubt, she will not want to know, with all these considerations, Wu Zetian decided to send another senior member to be responsible for quelling the rebellion in Yaozhou, to ensure that she can understand the truth about the barbarian rebellion.

Li Zhaode received the holy decree and left. Wu Zetian picked up Zhang Cambodia's recital, read it again, and said thoughtfully: "This person is a dry material, if he can be loyal to me, he is a usable person!" ”

Wan'er said: "Zhang Cambodia is more than seventy years old. It has passed the year of the rod country. He is well-versed in the world, calm in temperament, and sophisticated in his work. Huang Jingrong's trip to the southwest, he could detect in advance that there would be accidents, and he was really a sincere man who sought the country, if the saint wanted to use him, he would use it. Now only Li Xiang is a saint in the DPRK and China, and he really needs more help. ”

Wu Zetian was a little moved, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's let it go first, and when Jiannan is over, change places for him first." Watch and see! ”

Wan'er bowed and said, "Yes, Wan'er wrote it down!" ”

"Brother Yang is back!"

A few white barbarian girls who were cooking food in the camp saw several horses galloping from a distance, and one of them was Yang Fan, so they couldn't help but shout. Xun'er, who was squatting there and adding firewood to the stove, stood up and looked at the fast horses with her hands on the canopy.

Yang Fan rode his horse and galloped, with a white head wrapped around his head, wearing a white cardigan and a pair of blue wide bucket pants underneath. Tied with a pair of whisker trouser belts. It's like a white man. This white outfit makes him not only handsome and chic. is full of energy, and it makes Xun'er look very intimate.

As he got closer and closer, Xun'er also saw the sheath given to him by his father on his waist, and a small hanging bag embroidered with a picture of bees picking flowers on the other side of his waist.

Xun'er suddenly showed a sweet smile on her face, the small wine vortex seemed to be full of wine, the small bag was sewn out by her with a needle and a thread, originally she was worried that Yang Fan would not accept it, but now seeing that he really hung this bag around her waist, her heart was naturally happy.

Yang Fan and Gao Qingshan stepped forward to restrain the war horse, Xun'er immediately caught up with him and grabbed the reins of his horse, and there were several knights beside her, but her two spring-like eyes only looked at Yang Fan, and asked with concern: "How is Brother Yang's affairs, did they agree?" ”

Yang Fan jumped off the horse with one leg and said with a smile: "Do you think they like to fight?" I have a decree in me, and they cannot disbelieve. After I explained the reason to them, they encamped on the spot, promising me that they would not use a single soldier as long as you did not take the initiative to attack, and waited for orders from above. You can rest assured, Huang Jingrong's foreign aid has been extinct, and now he is a turtle in an urn! ”

Yang Fan patted the horse's neck with a smile, and said to Xun'er: "Where are the two toasts?" ”

Hearing him mention Meng Zhezhu, the sweet smile on Xun'er's face disappeared, and she replied in a low voice: "People have been sent from the mountain to beg, and they are receiving the messenger sent by Wen Hao. ”

"Oh?" Yang Fan's expression moved, and he said, "I'll take a look!" ”

Yang Fan hurried towards the big tent of the Xun period, Xun'er looked at his back, wanted to speak and stopped, but his feet were delayed, and he didn't follow after all.

Before Xun'er went to Hebai Village, she knew that her father had promised her to Meng Zhezhu, and she didn't have any special feelings at that time. When a girl grows up, she always has to get married, with a background and bloodline like her, the only way to return in the future is to marry Nanzhao or Tubo as a princess, or become the wife of a powerful person, or become the wife of a certain Tusi or headman.

Meng Zhezhu is actually a pretty good choice, his identity and status are very high, and Wuman is not like Nanzhao and the Tubo royal family have so many rules to restrain her, and Meng Zhezhu is not very old, if he marries other powerful people, it is likely that the other party is already forty or fifty years old.

The most important thing is that Meng Zhezhu is famous among the major tribes in Yaozhou and is a famous hero, what girl doesn't love heroes? Kaoru had also heard of his name, so Kaoru had no opinion on her father's decision, no particular joy, but no sorrow.

But who knew that she met Yang Fan in Hebai Village. In fact, she knew very well that it was impossible for her to marry Yang Fan, she was a princess of a barbarian clan, it was impossible to be a concubine of a Han official, her family would not agree, and Yang Fan had never shown his love for her.

However, before it happens, it just happens.

Kaoru deceives herself and enjoys the feeling of secretly liking a man, and she doesn't want to think about the result, nor does she want to think about separation, but there are some things she can't avoid. Looking at Yang Fan's back, her heart was empty and stunned.
