Li Xiaozhong is 21 years old this year and does not look like a Tang person. Speaking of Li Xiaozhong's family history is really bumpy, his grandfather was a small officer in the Anxi Army of the former Tang Dynasty, captured in the Battle of Hengros, fortunately he did an apprentice in a papermaking workshop before becoming a soldier, and he was also a craftsman, so he saved a life, and did hard labor in the black clothes, if historians research, his grandfather may still be the first person to pass papermaking to the West, but it is a pity that the Anshi Rebellion broke out a few years after the Battle of Hengros, and Gao Xianzhi, the commander of the Anxi Army, also died in the war. The rapidly declining Tang Dynasty was no longer able to march westward, and Li Xiaozhong's grandfather died more than 20 years after being captured, and at his behest he turned his head to the east.

Li Xiaozhong's grandfather married a female slave who was abandoned after being played by the big food nobles after being captured for more than ten years, a woman from the original Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and the fate of the three brothers who got it was that they could only continue to be slaves, Li Xiaozhong's father was the second, and came to Damascus as a dowry, and his years of slave life made him no different from the big cannibal in terms of behavior and habits, and even the Chinese taught by his father did not remember much, and his name was similar to the lifelong code name of 9527, But what I firmly remember is that my homeland is in the east, and my hometown is in a place that crosses a large desert, close to a bustling metropolis. He also taught Li Xiaozhong all this, Li Xiaozhong's mother is also a slave from nowhere, when one day, Li Xiaozhong because he was bullied in the slave pile because he did not look like a big cannibal, and after being bullied and injured a few people, the master decided to sell him, in the market, Li Xiaozhong walked in front of a passing oriental caravan, maybe a strong body, or a face similar to the Han people to impress the boss, so he bought Li Xiaozhong, who could only speak a few Chinese words.

By the time Li Xiaozhong arrived in Chang'an, he was already able to communicate in simple Chinese. When the boss who saw the notice at the gate of the city brought Li Xiaozhong and a few others to the inner house, Li Xiaozhong stammered out the words "Anxi Army", "Gao Dashuai", "paper" and "Chang'an", because Li Xiaozhong belonged to mixed race, the officials of the inner government did not know how to characterize him, and it happened that the emperor knew about it and immediately decided to give him Tang Dynasty citizen treatment. Several other slaves were also taken as ordered, and the caravan owner received a certificate from the government and raised his status to the first level.

Of all the slaves, Li Xiaozhong came the farthest, and Li Yu did not expect that there would really be his own people from such a distant city, so for the purpose of understanding the West, he summoned him, and when he saw that he was loyal, he kept him by his side. After several other people were questioned, they were all assigned a place to go, and they were all skilled people, who were not afraid of having nothing to do. However, Li Xiaozhong is young after all, he doesn't know much about things, and he has problems with his expression. Being a guard is full of qualifications, Li Yu thinks that his unlucky Arabic name and the name given to him by the boss do not belong to human beings, and he is a descendant of the Anxi Army, and under the premise that Li Xiaozhong does not know what his surname is, he gave him the surname Li and the name Xiaozhong. "Li" is the national surname, but the symbolic significance of this move is far greater than the practical significance, so the imperial historians did not oppose it too strongly.

This guy has a good foundation, although there are various schools of kung fu, but it is not weak, the experience of being a slave makes him know how to advance and retreat, and he does not speak much, loyal and cautious, but he is very popular with Li Yu, Li Yu gave him a palace maid as a wife - now Li Yu has become accustomed to treating people as things. Now Li Yu deliberately cultivates this person, and many things are entrusted to him.

Not long after Li Jiang arrived, during the time Li Jiang came, Li Yu had already taken a bath in the bathhouse, and when Li Jiang arrived in the bathhouse, the emperor was lying on the couch and receiving a massage. Li Yu got up, beckoned Li Jiang to sit down, let the massage eunuch go out, and said:

"Bachelor, Zhang Maozhao wrote a letter alleging that Wang Shizhen of Chengde, Lu Long and Liu Ji privately accepted 10,000 retrenched soldiers in various towns, Wang Shizhen, and Liu Ji wrote to accuse Zhang Maozhao of rectifying armaments with bad intentions, Wang Shizhen and Liu Ji were at odds again, because of a conflict over a small piece of land, they all asked me to surrender to each other and allow them to crusade. Zhaoyi Lu asked to lead his troops east to Taihang, saying that he wanted to seek Hebei for me, but I hadn't agreed, and his soldiers and horses had already entered Xingming Erzhou. Hmph, Hebei is really lively. What do you think of it? ”

Li Jiang pondered:

"Judging from the minister's understanding of Hebei, these feudal towns are just because His Majesty is working hard and fearful, and wants to take the opportunity to find trouble and test the imperial court. Your Majesty does not have to make it clear what is right and wrong, and can send a person to Hebei to comfort the towns. However, Lu Congshi had to guard against it. On the one hand, this person gave advice to His Majesty to plot against Shandong, and on the other hand, he had personal contacts with Wang Shizhen and Liu Ji, and the messengers were endless. A two-faced man is really a traitor. At the beginning, the first emperor sent the envoy to Zhaoyi to establish a festival envoy, and said to the envoy that whoever the soldiers chose was who, at that time, the Zhaoyi soldiers pushed to Xihao, and Xihao was unwilling to do it, Lu Congshi only ranked fourth, and it was his turn to bribe the envoy. It's only been a few years, and there have already been misdeeds, and in another year or two, I'm afraid that I won't be controlled by the imperial court. May Your Majesty plan it sooner. ”

Li Yu nodded and said:

"If Lu Congshi is dismissed, who can Zhaoyi trust?"

Li Jiang said:

"Come to Xihao, Wu Chongyin is a loyal person, Your Majesty can choose one of them as the deputy ambassador, and then from the court to a capable person as the main ambassador. In less than a year or two, Zhaoyi will definitely be completely returned to the imperial court. ”

However, Li Jifu's view is different from Li Jiang's, Li Jifu said:

"Zhang Maozhao's reorganization of armaments was in accordance with His Majesty's will to become virtuous, but Lu Long privately accepted the imperial court to cut out soldiers. If you want to be comforted, you should be comforted and determined. Chengde, Lu Long, and Zhaoyi should issue an edict to reprimand, order Chengde, and Lu Long to immediately disband the private placement soldiers, and strictly order Lu Congshi to withdraw from Xingzhou and Mingzhou and return to Shangdang. ”

In fact, Li Yu, who was only in his early thirties, was obviously more inclined to Li Jifu's opinion, but reason told him that it was not wise to be too tough, so the imperial court successively issued edicts, strictly ordering Lu Congshi to withdraw from Xingming Erzhou, and then ordered Chengde, Lu Long to disband the private army, and at the same time sent to Youzhou and Chengde. Yiwu Xuanwu envoy went to Hebei to mediate the conflict between the three towns.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this spring's snow disaster, caught off guard, a lot of people froze to death, so the prince took precautions and began to check the dilapidated houses early, counting the widows and the poor, and I am very relieved. I also thought that everything must be prepared in advance, and this is true of snowstorms, droughts and floods, so I convened all the ministers to discuss how the imperial court should prepare if there was a major drought next year. ”
