Li Zhi listened to Su Dingfang's words, then looked at Yun Chu and said, "You have been running around in the Western Regions for two years, you should have heard about the Qinling Tomb and the Kunlun Mountain Confucius, right?" Let's talk about it. ”

Yun Chu knelt on the cushion on Su Dingfang's side, so that the form of a three-person pair, the Tang Dynasty now has such a thing as a chair, but the emperor still uses the mode of kneeling and sitting, it seems that this can make the atmosphere more harmonious, and it is more etiquette.

Although there is a small saddle-shaped stool on the futon that can pad the buttocks, if you sit for a long time, your legs will be numb.

Yun Chu secretly thought that the emperor was waiting for the courtiers to play the right game for a long time, and when he stood up, he couldn't help but salute him, after all, after the right play, it was the courtier who got up, and he could continue to sit.

Yun Chu organized his words and said: "The Kunlun Mountain Passage does exist, no one could have imagined that there was a huge crack in the middle of the vast Kunlun Mountain, and the Keriya River flowed through this crack.

If you want to walk through this hole, it is not so easy, where the top of the high mountain, covered by ice and snow all the year round, take the caravan, too small part of the army is OK, once you go to the big army, if Wechen is the commander, Wechen is not recommended to take this road.

There are three reasons for this.

First, the Tang army is not good at fighting on the plateau and snowy mountains, and taking that hole is no less than walking through the underworld for my Tang army, and there are nine deaths and one life.

If there is no reason to take this hole, Wechen is against it.

Second, that is the problem of grain and straw, this road is more than 1,000 miles long, from the Tibetan Ali wasteland to Khotan, it is easy to say, there are canyons, cliffs, torrents, volcanoes everywhere along the way, once there is an avalanche, there is a danger of annihilation.

Third, on Qinling knows that he cannot defeat our Tang army on the frontal battlefield, so he can take risks, and we don't have any need.

This time, after the Qinling Tomb crossed the Kunlun Mountain Tunnel, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and they encountered a cold wind, and almost the whole army was wiped out.

Weichen thought that the Ashina Duzhi in the Western Regions and Li Shalu's rebellion may not be a deliberate act of Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian in Beiting.

Wei Chen's words are all here, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment. ”

Su Dingfang frowned after listening to Yun Chu's recital: "In this way, do you think that this Turkic rebellion in the Western Regions is just a disease of scabies?" ”

Yun Chu explained: "I thought that this was likely to be the last big rebellion in the Western Regions, and after dealing with these two people, the Western Regions should be able to calm down for a long time. ”

"What about Tibet?" Su Dingfang was unwilling to give up his previous judgment, he had fought with the Tibetans, had seen their barbarism and bravery, and felt that anyone who underestimated the Tibetans would suffer a big loss.

Yun Chu saw that Li Zhi's gaze also fell on him, so he smiled and said: "Weichen thinks that the Tubo people have now given up their tilt towards my Tang Dynasty and have begun to turn their eyes to the West. This conclusion can be drawn from Helan Minzhi and on Qinling's use of the remnants of the defeated generals to begin through a little bit of the big and small Bolu. ”

"The Tubo people dare not dump the Tang Dynasty?" Su Dingfang snorted coldly.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "If the Tubo people have the will to dump the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo army in the Dafeichuan area will not be withdrawn.

The reason why they left Tuyuhun was that they were unwilling to directly border our Datang on the west side of the river. ”

Yun Chu's ambitious words drew a smile on Li Zhi's face, and asked Zuo Chun to bring two copies of the secret music and hand it to Su Dingfang and said: "Su Qing, this is the secret music of Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, and their judgment is generally the same as what Yun Chu said. ”

After Su Dingfang watched the secret recital, he closed the recital and arched his hand to the emperor and said: "The old minister is old after all, and when he looks at things, he always starts from the worst outcome, and it seems that it is time to return to his hometown." ”

After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Li Zhi, and without waiting for Li Zhi to answer, he turned around and left the Taiji Hall, his back was very lonely.

It's not that he doesn't know the appearance of the Tang Dynasty army now, since the appearance of gunpowder, it has greatly changed the situation of combat on the battlefield.

It didn't matter what Yun Chu said, when the emperor took out Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian's notes and said that it was the same as what Yun Chu said, he knew that the emperor believed the words of Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and Yun Chu, and completely ignored his worries about the Tibetan raid on the Western Regions.

Li Ji still saw it through, he knew that it was useless to say anything, he didn't even want to say a word more, and he didn't even want to do such a thing as playing to the emperor with him.

Su Dingfang walked out into the sun, just like walking into the sun.

Li Zhi retracted his gaze and asked Yun Chu, "What do you think of Su Qing?" ”

Yun Chu said without thinking: "The dry city of the country." ”

"Don't you think he's old?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If you command the heavy army and let Weichen fight against Su Gong, Weichen will not be sure of victory." ”

Li Zhi's gaze at Yun Chu gradually became disdainful, and Yun Chu hurriedly said: "If each of them commands 10,000 troops, Weichen will not disdain him." ”

Li Zhi sneered: "Each commander of five thousand, you have a chance to defeat him, right?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Weichen doesn't dare to be presumptuous. ”

Li Zhi said again: "What about each commanding 3,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Yun Chu smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "Weichen can do it to defeat the army and kill the general." ”

Looking at the triumphant Yun Chu, Li Zhi suddenly felt that this world was really boring, and waved his hand: "You can go." ”

Yun Chu said in surprise: "Weichen hasn't played it right yet." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yun Chu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shuzhong, the grain and straw materials go straight down the Yangtze River to Xiangfan, and the materials in Hanzhong will also finally turn into the eastern capital Luoyang, and Luoyang is in the east of Chang'an. ”

Li Zhi said to Yun Chu very seriously: "Chang'an can't still collect the benefits of Longyou." ”

"But Your Majesty has just announced that Longyou Dao has reduced the money and grain for three years, oh my God, Chang'an is about to become a lonely city."

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The reason why the people of the world use the power of the world to support Chang'an is because I am in Chang'an, and now, I am going to Luoyang, the eastern capital, why do the people of the world still use the power of the world to support Chang'an?" ”

"However, Your Majesty once said that he would support Weichen to build Chang'an into the first city in the world."

Li Zhidao: "Didn't I still let you be in front of the county magistrate of Wannian County, didn't I replace the Chang'an county magistrate of gentleness?" Haven't the two of you done a lot of things together?

Why, isn't this convenience big enough?

If I go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, Chang'an's expenses will be reduced by more than 40%, how do you want me to support you? ”

Yun Chu saw that Li Zhi didn't care much about the affairs of Chang'an, so he sighed and said: "The minister is going to build a skyscraper in Chang'an, in order to hope that His Majesty will return to Chang'an as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhi got up, rummaged through the table, found a note and threw it to Yun Chu and said: "Gentleness has already been played, he is going to continue to build the unfinished Daming Palace, it takes a lot of money, you can do it together." ”

Yun Chu arched his hand and said: "Weichen is going to build a Xingqing Palace for His Majesty in the Chunming Gate of the East Gate of Chang'an City, which belongs to the Xingqing Fang of Guocheng outside Chang'an, and one of the main pavilions Weichen has even thought of the name, called Calyx Xianghui Building, just wait for His Majesty's consent to do it." ”

Hearing Yun Chu say this, Li Zhi, who was originally lazy, once again sharpened his eyes, stared at Yun Chu's eyes and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yun Chuchu avoided the emperor's gaze and bowed his head and said: "If it is safe today, the Taiji Palace, the Taiji Palace is dilapidated, damp, and not good for Your Majesty's health, Weichen just has some spare money in his hands, so he is ready to build a ventilated and dry residence for His Majesty." ”

Li Zhi said coldly: "Tell me the real reason." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "There are no other intentions. ”

Li Zhi didn't know what he remembered, and said with a smile: "My energy is all in Luoyang, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to your Daming Palace and what bullshit Xingqing Palace, that is to say, if you build the palace pavilion, I will live, if you don't have the money to repair the palace pavilion, I won't have the money to help you."

I remember that your relationship with Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong is not very good, and it is estimated that they will not use state funds to let you do anything. ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "As long as Your Majesty will do it, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will let us use it." ”

Li Zhi stood up and looked down at Yun Chu and said, "What are you going to do?" Whether it is Daming Palace, or the Xingqing Palace you said, it is the residence of the emperor, since it is the residence of the emperor, then there is a complete set of construction specifications, not that you can build two buildings casually can be called Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace.

Once construction begins, the cost of this is definitely not something that a Chang'an County or a 10,000-year-old county can afford. ”

Yun Chu looked up at Li Zhi and said: "However, once the construction of these two palaces begins, the lives of the people of Chang'an City can definitely reach a new level, and when the time comes, there will be rich people in the city, so that Your Majesty can stay in Chang'an, and then not think about Luoyang." ”

Li Zhi was a little moved by Yun Chu's words, and said after a moment of silence: "Since this is the case, then let's play it, and I will talk about it after discussing it with the courtiers." ”

Yun Chu nodded again and again.

Yun Chu left, and the giant bear crawled out from under the emperor's wide table and shouted at the emperor.

As soon as Li Zhi stretched out his hand, the giant bear leaned over his ears and let the emperor grab them, and Li Zhi groaned for a while in the Taiji Palace, and then grabbed the bear's ears and went to the queen.

After listening to Li Zhi's story, Wu Mei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Xiu, as long as they dare to cultivate, the concubines dare to live." ”

Li Zhi said: "The cost is too great. ”

Wu Mei smiled: "Isn't the money just used to spend." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "What did the queen see? ”

Wu Mei said: "I can see a lot of things, the most important point is Yun Chu, these two people are ready to spend a lot of money in Chang'an." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "They shouldn't have that much money." ”

Wu Mei said: "The concubines don't know, but the concubines think that as long as Your Majesty makes a strict prohibition, no one is allowed to exploit the people of Chang'an, no one is allowed to extort money in Chang'an, and then send the imperial historian to keep an eye on it all the way, the concubines don't believe that they can build the Daming Palace, which has been suspended since Zhenguan for eight years, and don't believe that Yun Chu can build an imperial residence from scratch in Xingqingfang." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Queen, it's better not to have too much hope, just treat this matter as a gamble." ”

Wu Mei shook her head and said, "It's not a gamble, it should be done as a serious matter!" ”
