Two fast horses galloped past him. The horse's hooves kicked up dust and pounced on him. The smoke cleared, and the two fast horses were nowhere to be seen.

The attendant rejoiced, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

A false alarm, the attendant relaxed, completely unconcerned about the large bread and water in his hands falling with dust. The flatbread is mixed with tiny grains of sand and eaten in the stomach.

In the past, the two people were partial generals under Wang Xie, and they went to the capital with the guards to deliver documents. It was the document requesting the imperial court to seal Liu Zhi as the envoy of the festival.

He hurried away, ignoring the grizzled attendant who was resting on the side of the road.

The messenger of Zhaoyi Town arrived in the capital first. When you enter the palace to meet the saint, you can't take the dust all the way. The general and the guards went to the hotel to clean up carefully, changed into clean soft armor and entered the palace to face the saint.

Zhou Yu's entourage then also returned to the capital, and two groups of people left behind them. He wanted to meet the prime minister, but he couldn't take care of it for the time being, so he rode all the way to the gate of the imperial city.

The generals and guards happened to be there, and the entourage's hair was unkempt and their faces were dirty, and they couldn't see their true faces. The general gave him a casual look and turned his head away.

"I am the messenger of Zhaoyi Town."

When the entourage heard that the general reported to his home, he stared at a pair of white eyes, his face was black, and only the whites of his eyes were distinct. Zhaoyi Town sent someone into Beijing, he said secretly.

"I'm an envoy of the imperial court." The attendant jumped off his horse and pulled out his waist card to show the doorman.

The partial general stared at a pair of black and white eyes, and there were also imperial envoys in Zhaoyi Town, he said secretly.

The doorman carefully checked the documents they presented, and looked at them for a long time, but they didn't see the true face of the entourage Lushan.

"Release." The commander on duty ordered, the side door of Jianfu Gate opened, and the three of them rushed in.

The three of them went the same way and arrived outside the Xuanzheng Palace. Wu Zong and his ministers discussed state affairs. The guards presented the two letters to the Emperor and the Prime Minister. Wu Zong looked at the table in Zhaoyi Town and frowned.

The above table reads: "The ministers have been worshipping Your Majesty for many years, and they have been working diligently for fear of disappointing Your Majesty's trust." Fortunately, there is a subordinate Liu Zhi by the minister's side, following the minister's left and right, and assisting the minister to govern Zhaoyi's affairs. The minister thought that his son Liu Zhi had the ability to take on heavy responsibilities... The ministers bowed and wept to thank the Holy Grace, wishing His Majesty a thousand blessings. ”

Wu Zong laughed angrily, "Prime Minister, someone is asking me for a feudal town. ”

Li Xiang took the paperwork and presented Zhou Yu's letterhead to Wu Zong. Wu Zong looked at it and slapped it on the armrest.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around." Wu Zong said angrily.

Where is to ask for an official position, it is to divide one party and establish himself as a king. The ministers did not understand the details, and exchanged glances with each other. Do you know? What's going on? Which feudal town wants to be a demon?

Li Xiang read the paperwork again. The ministers exploded the pot and there was a buzz. Liu Congzhi bluntly asked for the position of envoy for his nephew, and the Liu family wanted to be hereditary, more precisely, to be separated.

Li Xiang came out and said, "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to veto Zhaoyi Town's unreasonable demands. ”

Du Yi, the head of the household department, then came out, "Your Majesty, the minister implores Your Majesty to grant Liu Congji's request and appoint his subordinate son Liu Zhi as the queen of Zhaoyi Festival." ”

Du Yi manages the household department, and he knows best what the country's financial resources are. The money bag passed through his hands.

During the Wenzong period, there were internal and external troubles, even if the emperor advocated frugality, the officials all had small calculations, and natural disasters continued. The treasury is empty.

Wu Zong took office, rectified the rule of officials, the monarch and the ministers were concentric, and the economy slowly improved. That's just how long. I haven't saved the money to toss.

Du Yi suggested that most of the courtiers agree.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal." The courtiers came out one after another to echo Du Yi.

Wu Zong hesitated, he was angry, so angry that his liver hurt. But this is not a fight between two reckless men, he slaps him, he flies back.

It is necessary to use a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to solve the problem. It's okay to be able to solve it quickly, but if you can't, it's going to drag on for a year and a half.

Hey, it's hard. Wu Zong was entangled. What to do? Agree or disagree?

Li Xiang: "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi Town is located in the mainland, which is different from the three places of Heshuo. The three places of Heshuo are problems left over from history. Your Majesty, you must not set an evil example against Zhaoyi Town. Once a bad example is set and other feudal towns follow suit, how should Your Majesty deal with himself? ”

Yes, the prime minister is right, Wu Zong is the head. Du Yi frowned knotted and faced Li Xiang.

"That's what I said, but where does the money come from? Once the two sides are opposed, where does the money come from? ”

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive firewood Du Yi questioned Li Xiang, when the time comes, it will not be difficult for our household officials to ask for money.

Li Xiang looked at Du Yi, arched his hand to him, and didn't answer Du Yi's words. Turn to Martial Arts.

"Your Majesty, if there is a war with Zhaoyi Town, there will definitely be difficulties, but the difficulties are temporary. It's better than just being calm for the moment and leaving endless troubles. ”

There was a buzz among the ministers, who questioned Li Xiang's views. Let's not talk about what will happen in the future, the disaster in front of you cannot be solved with a single movement of your mouth.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. In the event of a war, who will be sent to fight? How to fight? What are the odds? How much did the imperial court control Pan Zhen's forces? These are all issues that need to be considered realistically.

Li Xiang looked at Wu Zong, and Wu Zong raised his hand to stop the restlessness of the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I support the Prime Minister's proposal."

Du Yi took a step forward, opened his mouth to argue, Wu Zong raised his hand, "I have made up my mind, Aiqing don't say more." ”

The generals and their subordinates delivered the documents, and some officials politely sent them to the post station to rest. The general and his subordinates did not stay in Chang'an, rested for one night, and rushed back to Zhaoyi Town the same way.

Li Xiang advocated the overall situation in the imperial court and persuaded His Majesty to prepare for a battle with Zhaoyi Town.

Li Xiang didn't know that among the tens of millions of soldiers he was going to dispatch, his daughter Li Baochuan, now renamed Liu Ye, was one of the tens of millions of soldiers.

Shi Xiong, the defense envoy of Fengzhou, received a secret report from Liu Wei, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, since the Shangsi Festival, reminding him to pay attention to the Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy. Shi Xiong had a faint premonition that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Liu Ye is more and more identified with Shixiong's nickname for stone peeling. The training intensity on weekdays is not small, and since the last festival, Shi Xiong doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and the training intensity has increased again.

After dinner, I added six miles to run with weights. Chang Sheng followed closely behind Liu Ye, and the two of them were one in front of the other. Lead a team of 200 people and run with weights.

The army was trained outside the city of Toyoshu. The twilight covered the earth, the sound of uniform footsteps, the sound of backpacks lapping against their bodies. On the other side of the Ying River, Tugu Hun people sang loudly and melodiously.

Willow leaves listen to sounds that seem to have a rhythm, and try to divert attention as much as possible. In the past two days, due to the heavy amount of exercise, the amount of bleeding is more than usual. Another stream of warm liquid gushed out.

She prepares a linen cloth and washes it out when she has the opportunity to reuse it. If you don't have a chance, you can spend it all at once.

On weekdays, she and her brothers come and go, climb ice and snow, sweat, and often ignore her female identity.

Running to the finish line, Liu Ye unwrapped his package and took out a strip of cloth.

"Lieutenant Chang, the team rests on the spot." Willow leaves strode away.
