On the seventh day of the first month of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, it should have been the day of the early dynasty, but Li Shimin said that he was sick and quit the dynasty, and immediately, the inner court suddenly came out with a will, and the quasi-prince Li Zhen played the "Immigration Sparse", and ordered Li Zhen to take charge of his affairs, supplemented by Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, and moved the floating people in Bashu and Guanzhong to fill in the Guanzhong, and each had its own department and yamen to listen to the tune. As soon as this edict came out, the original rumors about the prince about to fall out of favor were self-defeating, but the court situation did not stabilize because of this, on the contrary, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were boiling against Yingtian, and there were those who praised the book, and there were many people who asked the saint to take back the ordination, and there were many people who asked for a referendum in the court, and how was it chaotic, fortunately, the four prime ministers jointly came forward to explain, and the matter gradually stopped.

Why did the eldest grandson Wuji act like this, Li Zhen had a tight count in his heart, and the left and right were just a kind of compromise, in other words, the eldest grandson Wuji was just playing a big show with the old man's balance movements, and it may not really be a clear posture to throw himself into his own camp, after all, Li Zhen was not arrogant enough to think that he could completely subdue the scheming eldest grandson Wuji with just one word, as for what the eldest grandson Wuji thought in his heart, Li Zhen actually didn't care, as long as the eldest grandson Wuji could cooperate at this time, Even if he doesn't move, Li Zhen can be satisfied, as for how the relationship between the two sides will develop in the future, it can be discussed in the future, and Li Zhenzi will not be in a hurry to get along with the eldest grandson Wuji at such a moment.

It is easy to go to "Immigration Sparse", but it is not so simple to really do, first you have to discuss various implementation plans in the center, and then you have to decompose the tasks to the ministries, and then the relevant instructions will be issued by the ministries to the local governments, and the local governments will carry out the measurement of acres and censuses, and finally the floating people can be moved to the Kanto region for resettlement, this series of work is simply a huge project, and it is not a few years to think of it completely, and what is more troublesome is that Li Zhen's letter is purely temporary. I didn't start preparing the immigration plan in advance, although in the more than half a month before the holy decree was issued, I had convened a group of subordinates several times to discuss this matter, and it was considered to have come up with an eye-catching plan, but when it came to discussing the specific division of labor with the various ministries, I found that the original plan was really too simple, and there were many loopholes. Finally sorted out the preliminary work, and after the old man was clarified, the immigration matter was officially launched.

The immigration has been started, it stands to reason that the busy officials should be the next officials, but as the head of the general, Li Zhen still can't be idle - this immigration policy is the first time Li Zhen has started to control the government affairs related to the overall situation, he doesn't want to go wrong, although he can't talk about everything, but he always hopes to know everything, so every day waiting for Li Zhen to deal with the official documents, reports are like a hill, so Li Zhen is so busy that even meals are used in the study, Fortunately, Mo Li and other subordinate officials of the East Palace worked hard to make a point, so nothing went wrong, and it could barely be regarded as everything going smoothly.

Busy is busy, but Li Zhen's mood is very good, I have to say that the feeling of holding the authority of the world is really refreshing, even if Li Zhen has lived for two lifetimes, it is inevitable to be immersed in it, of course, Li Zhen is so playful and hard, but it is not entirely because of the power lust, but more of a sense of mission, that is, to do something practical for the well-being of future generations, and it is not in vain to come to this world once, and because of this, Li Zhen mobilized almost all the forces that can be mobilized, I devoted myself to immigration affairs, no, I was busy again early this morning, and almost all of my people were buried in the stacks of thick reports on the desk, and when I meditated, I didn't see Li Zhen stand up.

"Your Highness, Zhang Shigui and General Zhang are here, please show your Highness." Wang Binghe, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, tiptoed into the study, and saw that Li Zhen was busy with sweat, so he didn't bother, so he was stunned in place, and then he leaned over lightly and reported in a low voice.

"Oh?" Li Zhen, who was burying her head in the official document, raised her head, frowned slightly, and spoke, but she didn't say whether she saw it or not.

Wang Binghe is a clever person, seeing a trace of doubt on Li Zhen's face, he hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, General Zhang Da resigned yesterday, and I heard that he would rush to the North Court tomorrow, you see ......?"

So fast? Uh-huh, it looks like the old man can't wait! Li Zhen muttered in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, she just waved her hand lightly and said, "Announce it, this palace will meet you in this study." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." Wang Binghe caught the hint of unhappiness that flashed between Li Zhen's eyebrows, but he didn't dare to ask more, replied respectfully, and hurriedly withdrew from the study, and went to summon Zhang Shigui without mentioning it.

Li Zhen was going to meet guests in the study, and several subordinate officials of the East Palace who had been transferred to help with the review of official documents were very interesting, and they all got up and respectfully withdrew from the study, only Mo Li sat still, glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, picked up the feather fan resting on the few in front of him, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "I am afraid that General Zhang Da will take on a big responsibility in the battle of pacifying Xue Yantuo this time." ”

"Huh." Li Zhen smiled noncommittally, didn't say anything about it, and said with an indifferent look: "Mr. Mo will accompany the palace to meet General Zhang." Mo Li smiled slightly, didn't say much, just bowed down, and accepted it.

Zhang Shigui came quickly, not long after Wang Binghe went, the white-haired Zhang Shigui strode into the study, and when he saw Li Zhen sitting behind the desk, he hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed forward, and saluted respectfully: "The last general Zhang Shigui will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhang Shigui, whose name is Wu'an, was born in a military family - his great-grandfather Zhang Jun, the official Northern Wei Yinqing Guanglu doctor, and the general of Hengye; grandfather Zhang He, the general of the official Qi Kaifu Che Cavalry; Father Zhang Guo, Shi Sui Dynasty successively served as the chief secretary of Shaanxi County, Kip Zhou recorded the army to join the army, and later awarded the governor of the capital with military merits, and settled in Lushi County, Yuzhou. At the time of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Shigui rose up in Yuzhou, gathered nearly 10,000 people to oppose the Sui, and immediately defected to Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and was ordered to pass through Henan, as Li Yuan's confidant and favorite general, and then transferred to Li Shimin's command, with Li Shimin's expedition to the east and west, repeatedly made military exploits, participated in the change of "Xuanwu Gate", and served as the "Xuanwu Gate Chief" several times, responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate, which shows its status in Li Shimin's heart, he is steady, only loyal to Li Shimin, never participated in the dispute between the princes, and never had private dealings with the princes. Li Zhen only nodded to him, and never had a deep conversation, let alone a private meeting, at this time, seeing Zhang Shigui salute himself, Li Zhen did not call out immediately, but looked at Zhang Shigui with interest, and then said slowly: "General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, just calm down, come here, give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for a seat." Zhang Shigui was not polite, and after answering respectfully, he sat on the brocade pier carried by the little eunuchs, looked at Li Zhen without squinting, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness, the last general has resigned yesterday, and he will rush to the north court early tomorrow morning, and come to listen to His Highness's instructions before leaving." ”

Li Zhen pressed his hand, signaled Zhang Shigui not to be formal, and asked with a smile: "Well, General Zhang is concerned about the important affairs of the imperial court, and he is very relieved, so there is no need for instructions, what are General Zhang's plans to go to Beiting?" ”

Zhang Shigui has been in the court for a long time, although he has never participated in the competition between the princes, but under the cold sidelines, how can he not know that none of these princes are simple characters, especially Li Zhen's ruthlessness and iron fist make Zhang Shigui frightened, if possible, Zhang Shigui really doesn't want to come to visit Li Zhen, but unfortunately he can't not come, in addition to Li Shimin's explanation, the main thing is that the Beiting Army was created by Li Zhen, without Li Zhen's support, not to mention that he Zhang Shigui, Li Shimin went in person, also wanted to command the invincible iron army across the desert, at this time, seeing that Li Zhen didn't say much to the point, Zhang Shigui's heart was tense for no reason, but he didn't dare not answer, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the last general will be ordered to lead the army, or will conquer Xue Yantuo in mid-May, I implore Your Highness to make it clear." ”

Li Zhen had been busy with immigration before, and had no time or heart to pay attention to the conquest of Xue Yantuo, of course, based on Li Zhen's wide range of eyes and ears in the government and the opposition, he had already learned that the old man was busy with the conquest of Xue Yantuo, but Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to it, the reason is very simple, since the old man planned to take over the military power in Li Zhen's hands, it was naturally impossible for Li Zhen to interfere in the military affairs again, if Li Zhen really got over by himself, wouldn't he have no land and would be suspicious of the old man, Li Zhen would not do this kind of thing, at this time, as soon as he heard Zhang Shigui say that he would lead the army to attack the prairie, Li Zhen's heart couldn't help but sudden, as uncomfortable as eating a fly - if you want to completely master an army that has just taken over, it is natural to combine grace and power, and its best means is to win a big battle and act cheaply in the battle, so that all means can be flexibly applied, there is no doubt that this expedition against the extremely weak Xue Yantuo is undoubtedly extremely convenient for Zhang Shigui to grasp the military power of the North Court, This article was originally an ordinary thing, but there was nothing to say, but it was a bit annoying to run to Li Zhen, the "lost owner", to talk about this matter.

"Gu has been away from Beiting for a long time, and he can't talk about understanding the facts in the army, and since General Zhang has asked, Gu will say that it's okay, and if it's not accurate, General Zhang will listen to it." Although Li Zhen was angry in his heart, he didn't bring it to his face, and said with a faint smile: "Beiting is divided into six states, and there are more than 68,400 soldiers, and there is still a battalion of garrisons in each state, totaling about 6,000 people. The rest of the people still have Eagle Thirteen, Liu Kuiwu and other people who charge on the battlefield, all the generals are bold people, after General Zhang goes, he will know that with General Zhang's ability to take on the heavy responsibility of the North Court, he is very relieved. ”

Zhang Shigui knew as early as a few years ago that he would be the governor of Beiting, since he had already made a lot of efforts, for Li Zhen said these superficial things how to know countless in his heart, this to ask for advice, it is just a gesture, the important thing is to ask Li Zhen to agree to take charge of the Beiting Shuaiyin, at this time listening to Li Zhen talk freely, he did not dare to show impatience, he could only listen respectfully, and when Li Zhen's voice settled, he asked cautiously: "The last general heard that the military system of Beiting is similar to that of the imperial court, and the rule of local officials seems to be different. What is it like to go here in the end? ”

Zhang Shigui's words were vague, but how could he hide the meaning from Li Zhen, as soon as he saw that Zhang Shigui had the idea of interfering in local government affairs, Li Zhen's heart was not happy and immediately deepened, although his face was still smiling, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"General Zhang, Beiting is different from the Guannei, it is a new place to conquer, all matters must be adapted to local conditions, there is Qin Zhenfu's envoy, the local governance can be expected, General Zhang can concentrate on military affairs, and the rest of the things can be done by others, what do you say?" Li Zhen looked at Zhang Shigui coldly for a long time, and then said unhurriedly, which was full of irresistible majesty.

"What Your Highness said is very true, and the last general will be taught." Zhang Shigui was pressed by Li Zhen's momentum and fidgeted, and hurriedly got up and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general knows what to do, His Royal Highness is busy, the last general will not dare to disturb more, and the last general will retire." ”

"Well, I wish General Zhang a successful start to the flag, don't send it, General Zhang will go well." Li Zhen was angry in her heart, she didn't want to keep Zhang Shigui more, so she waved her hand lukewarmly and motioned for Zhang Shigui to step back by himself.

"How?" After Zhang Shigui retreated, Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while, then looked sideways at Mo Li, who had been silently staying aside, and asked casually.

"Zhang Shigui is still steady, although his heart is not big, but if he wants to come out and offend His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he does not have the courage, I am afraid that those words are what His Majesty wants to ask, if the expectations are not bad, I am afraid that Northern Xinjiang will have a lot of things from now on." Mo Li's face was also a little solemn, he slowly shook the feather fan, and replied calmly.

"Hmph." Li Zhen snorted coldly, and did not speak immediately, but stood up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, paused suddenly, looked at Mo Li with a frown: "Send a letter to Qin Wenhua and let him stabilize government affairs, if Zhang Shigui does not interfere, it is convenient, otherwise, Lone is not easy to get along with." Seeing that Li Zhen had moved to kill, Mo Li twitched the corner of his mouth, but at the end, he still didn't say anything about dissuasion, but just arched his hand solemnly, which can be regarded as accepting......

In early spring February, it is the time when the flowers are flourishing, the back garden of the Wu Wangfu is full of flowers, the flowers are like brocades, the bees fly and the butterflies dance, a thriving scene, the Wu King Li Ke in white caresses the guqin, his eyes are slightly closed, his hands are green and plucked, a melodious piano sound is swaying lightly in the garden, the light smoke lingers in the pavilion, people are among them, it really makes people have a kind of being in the clouds, it is suspected that it is the ethereal feeling of the book house in the fairyland, after several turns, a song is already the end, and a cheer rang out from among the flowers: "Good piano, good song, His Royal Highness is so interested." As soon as the voice fell, Ye Ling, who had not taken off his official robe, had already emerged from the flowers.

"Songcheng is here, hehe, this king is looking for someone to invite, so he arrives, come, sit down and say, sit down and say." Wu Wang Li Ke seemed to be in a good mood, got up with a smile, and said hello to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling smiled indifferently, walked into the pavilion slowly, shook his big sleeves, sat on the brocade pier opposite Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Your Highness wants to find you, but is it for the matter of the North Court?" ”

"Hahaha......, good you are a songcheng, you can't hide anything, yes, today this king got a news, it is reported that Zhang Shigui, the old thing, ran to see Xiaoba, and made a fuss, it was really interesting." Seeing that Ye Ling guessed his thoughts, Li Ke didn't deny it, and laughed.

Li Ke laughed heartily, but Ye Ling didn't smile, picked up the new tea offered by his subordinates, took a small sip of it, and put it back on a few hands casually, then he said unhurriedly: "Zhang Shigui, little dog ear, what can you do, Your Majesty is anxious to cut the military power of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he is in a hurry, this omen of chaos, what does His Royal Highness want?" ”

"This king plans to help General Zhang, and it can be regarded as inheriting the will of his father, what does Songcheng think?" Li Ke has always regarded Ye Ling as a confidant, and he has never concealed his plans.

"So, Your Highness is planning to face a conflict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Facing Li Ke's eagerness, Ye Ling asked quietly.

"This ......" Over the years, Li Ke and Li Zhen have fought many times, and they have never been able to take advantage of the slightest, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are afraid of being beaten.

How could Ye Ling not see Li Ke's ambivalence, but he didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to cut the military power of His Royal Highness the Prince, but the Sacred Heart is still on His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Hearing Ye Ling's words, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Ke's eyes at first, but he quickly dimmed, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If that's the case, it's not easy, what's the matter?" ”

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Okay, although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible, but it should not be done by His Royal Highness, you can fake it to others, and you can stay chaotic, and you will have a good show to watch." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Ke has been overwhelmed by Li Zhen over the years, and as soon as he heard that Ye Ling had a way to rectify Li Zhen, he came to his senses and hurriedly asked. Ye Ling smiled and didn't answer, just reached out and dipped it in the tea bowl and wrote a few words on a few words.

"Is that him?" Li Ke looked at it, first gasped, and then exhaled in a low voice......
