Walking through Yanxi Gate and passing Jiafu Gate, Li Xuan has already come to the East Palace Gate.

The red walls and green tiles are solemn and solemn.

The guards inside and outside the palace gate have changed, and Li Xuan glanced at it, but there was not a single familiar face.

In front of the East Gate, more than a dozen officials of the DPRK and China dressed in scarlet and green official robes stood solemnly, waiting for the prince to summon them.

Li Xuan ignored anyone, walked directly to the palace gate, and handed over the worship note on his body.

The chamberlain at the door immediately took it, and after just one glance, he introduced Li Xuan into the East Palace in a panic.

The prince had already instructed, and as soon as the king of Nanchang arrived, he was immediately introduced.

The Chang'an Imperial Palace is more grand than the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and the surrounding green trees are tall, faintly giving people a sense of heaviness.

Li Xuan's face was calm and he followed the chamberlain on the long street of the East Palace, and the officials of the DPRK and China who came and went inside and outside the official party from all sides walked by quickly.

Li Xian's imperial palace has now quickly taken charge of part of the government affairs of the court, just like the original filial piety emperor Li Hong.

Li Xuan's face was calm and solemn.

The crown prince is in power, this is the emperor's will, but the contradiction between Li Xuan and Empress Wu has quietly lurked.

Passing through the bureaucratic officials, Li Xuan walked into the large and gorgeous main hall of the East Palace.

The main hall is five rooms wide, the roof of the mountain type is covered with yellow glazed tiles, the eaves of the corridor waist teeth, and there are five beasts lying on the eaves.

Under the eaves, it is applied with a single warped single ang and five stepping buckets, and is decorated with dragon and phoenix and seal color paintings.

The indoor square bricks are on the ground, and the ceiling is painted with two phoenixes.

Li Xuan's footsteps fell, and there was an echo immediately.

In the main hall, there is a small brown table on a long collapse, and various low tables are arranged on either side.

This is the place where the prince receives foreign guests.

"Lord Wang, please come inside." The chamberlain led Li Xuan towards the inner room, and there was a hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes.

This is a courtesy that only a few people can get, and the king of Nanchang, who has never been to the East Palace, is extremely trusted by the prince.

Li Xuan's expression was calm, and then he walked into the prince's inner room.

Several handsome-looking maids inside stood silently in the corner, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Li Xian, who was wearing a yellow gold silk nine python and nine chapters uniform, sat behind the table, frowning, carefully reviewing the music in front of him.

The prince on the side, Liu Neyan, stood with his hands tied, and there was a stack of concerts on the table in front of him.

The crown prince Zhan Shihuangfu Zhengyi and the prince's left concubine Zhang Da'an, whom Li Xuan had seen before, were not here at the moment.

Later, when Li Xuan left Luoyang, Wang Bo's old friend who came to see him off instead of the prince, Xue Yao, the prince's housekeeper, was also nowhere to be seen.

There were some young subordinate officials that Li Xuan had never seen before, sitting in front of the table on the side, writing something at the desk.

Li Xuan stood three meters in front of Li Xian, bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness will be safe."

Li Xian suddenly came back to his senses, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked up at Liu Neyan beside him, Liu Neyan immediately reached out and picked up the music on the table and put it aside.

Li Xian stood up at this time, stretched his waist, and then said to Li Xuan, "Uncle Wang, please get up."

Looking at the increasingly thick beard under Li Xian's nose, Li Xuan arched his hand slightly, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and Your Highness has become more and more majestic."

"Majesty?" Li Xian was slightly stunned, then touched his beard, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang said that he laughed, Xian is just too busy to clean up."

"Come on, the back pavilion serves tea, and the palace wants to talk to Uncle Wang about Jiangnan Fengyue." Li Xian glanced around, and then arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang, Houting, please!"

"Your Highness, please!" Li Xuan took a step out of the way slightly, Li Xian walked in front of him, and Li Xuan hurriedly followed.

Walking between the carved railings and jade pillars, Li Xian said casually: "Uncle Wang sent a few kinds of tea yesterday, fine embroidered Huzhou silk, and pearl spices.

Li Xuan arched his hand slightly: "Your Highness is polite, some small things, just a waste of labor, but it's not worth it."

What, if Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the princess like it, the minister will have them send more in the future."

After Li Xuan arrived in Chang'an, he quickly sent people to send the gifts brought back from Wuzhou to various palaces, the imperial palace, and even to the emperor and the empress.

It's worthless, but it can quickly remind people of him and know that he has returned to Chang'an.

"Then thank you Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, please take a seat." Li Xian asked Li Xuan to sit down in the back pavilion.

In front of him is a bay of blue water, on which two lotus flowers float gently.

The breeze blows and makes people feel cool.

With a gloomy look, Li Xian was also much more relaxed all of a sudden.

The chamberlain served two cups of warm tea, Li Xian took the lead in picking up a cup, took a long sip, looked up at Li Xuan and said: "Uncle Wang's trip to the southeast, with outstanding military achievements, above the court, there were many quarrels over Uncle Wang's reward, and finally decided to record the merits of the three turns, and awarded the title of captain of the light car."

"The saint and His Highness are in love." Li Xuan stood up and bowed his hand slightly, and then sat down again at Li Xian's signal, and said with some emotion: "In fact, there are all things in this line that His Highness does not know, and the minister is really ashamed of this so-called war exploits, after all, what the minister is facing is actually just a group of ordinary people."

The bitterness on Li Xuan's face made Li Xian feel a little curious, and he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wang, it's not that there are more than 10,000 traitors, who are not afraid of death, and once broke through Meiling Pass, and were burned clean by Uncle Wang; Also, Shezhou has a county seat that has been breached, if it weren't for the rebels who took the initiative to retreat......

It is okay to deceive the state and county officials who don't know what to do, but in the center of the news, I don't know how many people know the inside story.

It's just that for the sake of the face of the court, no one has uncovered the confused accounts here.

"Your Highness sees only appearances." Li Xuan pushed the tea in front of him forward, and then looked at Li Xian, and said seriously, "Although the Tianyin Sect disciples look crazy, they are basically just a group of ordinary people, even if there are a few elites, but very few have undergone formal training."

"Those black pawns, as mentioned in Uncle Wang's book." Li Xian nodded and said admiringly, "Before the war, Uncle Wang had completely strangled the Tianyin black pawns in the entire territory of Wuzhou."

"Hmm!" Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously and said, "This is the biggest mistake made by the Tianyin Sect, those black pawns were originally used to act as the most basic low-level officers of the entire army, with them, the Tianyin Sect Pawns can barely do the order and prohibit, once they are gone, those Tianyin Sect Pawns will only know how to advance but not retreat, and if they only enter, it is okay, once the military order to retreat is transmitted later, those pawns will immediately be chaotic like headless flies, and seize this point......

"Grasp this, Uncle Wang will completely defeat the heavenly fire, a heavenly wind, and a heavenly water." Li Xian faintly understood something, and said softly: "As the old saying goes, Tan Gong has thirty-six strategies, capture the thief and capture the king first, and the widow wrote it down today."

"Although Tan Daoji's strategy is useful, His Highness must remember that if it is not used indiscriminately, and the minister uses it, it is not the strategy of capturing the thief and the first prince, but cutting off its branches, and then exterminating the branches and leaves, and finally the method of smashing the Yellow Dragon directly." Li Xuan hurriedly stopped Li Xian.

I don't know if he's thinking too much, but he always feels that Li Xian has other intentions.

"Can this method also be used to deal with Tibet?" Li Xian suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

"Your Highness is also paying attention to the situation in Tibet?" Li Xuan was a little surprised, why did one or two people ask him about Tubo today.

However, after a slight hesitation, Li Xuan spoke: "The minister is not optimistic about the method of quick battle and quick resolution in Tibet, and the situation in Tibet is different from that of the Eastern and Western Turks, but it is somewhat similar to the Turkic tribes of Silla, Baekje and the homeland of Old Goguryeo......

Li Xian's face suddenly became heavy, the first battle of Dongdao, from the war of the Taejong Dynasty against Goguryeo, until fifteen years ago, Silla asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, and it took three years to destroy Baekje, and then it took three years to destroy Goguryeo when Goguryeo was in civil strife, and then it took three years for the Tang Dynasty and Silla to turn against each other.

Then nearly seven years have passed, and although Datang still has an advantage in Dongdao, Silla has gradually gained a foothold.

If the three countries of the Eastern Island were to be replaced with Turkic combat power, the result would be predictable.

"What Uncle Wang said, Xian wrote it down." Li Xian nodded seriously.

He had heard many things about the war in Tibet, but Li Xuan's words today still shocked him.

On the stone table, there were simple side dishes, and Li Xuan was left by Li Xian for lunch.

Li Xian raised his wine glass and said sincerely: "The widow wants to thank Uncle Wang, if it weren't for Uncle Wang's detailed instructions on the details of the southeast line, the palace would not have known the difficulties of the people's lives."

"It's the minister's business." After a slight pause, Li Xuan hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "I saw the saint just now, and the saint has a word, let Weichen write a recital to His Highness every seven days in the future......

Before Li Xuan's words were finished, Li Xian couldn't help laughing: "Then it's troublesome Uncle Wang."

Five days later, Li Xuan will get married, and on the seventh day, won't he even have to write about the wedding.

"The saint said...... Forget it, the ministers obey the order." Li Xuan nodded with a wry smile.

Li Xian drank all the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass and looked slightly solemn, and then said, "Looking at Uncle Wang's book, this palace found that Uncle Wang prefers to pay attention to the price of goods in a place?"

"Not bad." Li Xuan nodded, put down the empty wine glass in his hand, and then looked at Li Xian seriously: "In the minister's notebook, there are many prices in a place, as well as the harvest of the people in a year, so you can calculate how the people live in a year......

After a slight pause, Li Xuan followed and said: "My Datang has a regular closing position, but how much does this regular closing amount of annual income need to be adjusted every year, when the people's income is low, the income from the regular closing position will be less, and when the people's income is more, it will be more, so as to avoid the grain from hurting the farmers."

"The widow once remembered this truth, but after the guidance of Uncle Wang and his party, I knew that this statement was even the foundation of governing the country."

"Yes, as long as the kings of the world can take the four words of grain cheapness and injury to farmers in their hearts, this world will be a prosperous world."

"What Uncle Wang said is even, Xian has written it down." Li Xian nodded, and then sighed and said, "No wonder Uncle Wang has the reputation of 'King of the Three Autumns, he always thinks about this, how can it be peaceful."

"Your Highness has an overreputation." After a pause, Li Xuan continued: "The minister has been in Wuzhou for several months, although the focus is on the Tianyin Sect, but the people never dare to neglect the affairs, but even so, the surplus grain in the people's homes is only enough until next summer......

"These are the means by which the wealthy family annexed the people's land, as Uncle Wang mentioned in the recital." Li Xian nodded seriously, he attached great importance to Li Xuan's recitals, because through the lives of these low-level people, some incomprehensible places in history books and officialdom recitals before finally appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

"Therefore, the minister plans to renovate the wharves of Wujiang after the autumn harvest, and the state government will hire the people to distribute grain, silk, and money." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "In the state granary depot, there is a batch of grain to be sold at a low price every year, and the minister plans not to sell it, but to directly distribute the grain to the people."

Li Xian nodded: "Is it the reselling of grain from the official warehouse that Uncle Wang once encountered?"

"That's it." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't believe those numbers on paper, sometimes, the household department tells Your Highness that there are a lot of grain in the warehouses in the world, and the real situation must not be the case, it is common to break seven or eight folds, and it is not uncommon to even cut off the waist, and the saint has been preparing for the war in Tibet for more than a year or two, why he refuses to move lightly, the reason is this."

"Oh!" Li Xian now understands completely.

Why did the Tang Dynasty earn a huge amount of money, but it could prepare for a war in Tibet, but it failed to complete it for several years, it was completely here.
