Chapter 537: Tibet in the West, Silla in the East
Li Xuan lowered his head, looked at the music on the table, and said softly, "Uncle Yu, Mr. Zi'an is still leaving."
Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan, who looked a little melancholy, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Zi'an is very filial, if the prince's affairs are not decided, he will be uneasy for a day, so it's okay, maybe he will return one day and be able to have a different world."
"Perhaps." Li Xuan cleaned up her mood and said in a low voice, "Before, most of the things we expected were mentioned by the saint and the queen of heaven, and there were no surprises, only two things, which were not mentioned at all."
"That's right, the matter of the body of the queen and the general of the middle lang." Yu Ze nodded, his expression solemn.
Face saint has always been a big deal, whether it is Li Xuan or Yu Ze, they don't dare to ignore it, so every time they face saint, Li Xuan and Yu Ze will make an assessment of the topics that may be mentioned.
Tubo, Tianyin Sect and the inventory of Tianmu, Li Xuan and Yu Ze have made detailed inferences, so that they can talk about it after meeting the saint and the queen of heaven.
Although Wang Bo's matter was sudden, they had already talked about it earlier, and it was not unexpected.
As for the relationship between Li Xian and Empress Wu, although Li Xuan did not have Yu Ze for these things, he had already expected them.
"The body of the queen mother, after it was handed over to Qianniuwei, there was no more information, for this matter, the queen of heaven did not have any anger, but rewarded, but His Majesty, there is no meaning of concern at all, this king really doubts, is that the secret decree from the heavenly saint, or the queen of heaven?" A trace of thought flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, it seemed that Li Zhi and Empress Wu were happy to see Li Xuan transport the body of Empress Wu back.
"Your Majesty, since the matter of the Tianyin Sect has been concluded, then there is no need for us to care about it anymore, and the rest of the matter, the Qianniu Guard, the Secret Guard, the Internal Guard, and the Hundred Cavalry Division will continue to follow." Yu Ze persuaded softly.
"Well, what Uncle Yu said is very true!" Li Xuan nodded, and said, "Then what about General Zhonglang, what about him, the Qiu family doesn't seem to have any news revealed, we thought he had returned to Shendu, but judging from today's news, General Zhonglang didn't report to Jinwuwei at all."
Qiu Shenxuan's matter is very strange, Qiu Shenxuan is obviously dead, but Ming Chongyan hid his body and concealed his death.
It seemed that he was making the illusion that he was not dead to lure his killer into taking the bait, but Li Xuan almost certainly did not lead to anything.
But now, as Qiu Shenyan's death is getting longer and longer, if he continues to hide it like this, Ming Chongyan will have a very bad end in the future.
"Maybe the Queen of Heaven has another secret will?" Yu Ze guessed for a long time and gave such an answer.
Qiu Shenyu's cronies of Empress Wu are often ordered to do some secret things, and it is understandable that he will not show up for a short time.
"Okay." Li Xuan retracted his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Let's put these two things down first, and now let's take a look at Tubo......
"Your Majesty, Ouyang Siqing is here." Li Zhu's voice sounded at the door, and Li Xuan subconsciously looked up, and suddenly saw the light of dusk outside spread all over the ground.
Unconsciously, the two of them had been discussing the matter of Tibet for most of the day.
On the map on the table, from Gannan, Longyou to Jiannan, are densely drawn with arrows.
"Okay, got it, I'll be over in a moment." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Yu, the battle of Tubo must be prepared in advance, depending on the meaning of your majesty's opinion today, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have the intention to let this king participate in the battle against Tubo, calculate the time, at the end of this year, early next year, I will be transferred back from Wuzhou, and in April next year, wouldn't it just be just in time for the battle of Tubo."
"Whoa!" Yu Ze nodded in agreement, and then put away all the papers on the table and placed them in the inner dense compartment.
After tidying up a little, Li Xuan and Yu Ze walked out of the inner room together, then walked out of the west courtyard and headed towards the front hall.
In the front hall, there was a sound of conversation, and Li Xuan walked into the hall quickly.
Uncle Ouyang Tong, aunt Hu, cousin Ouyang Youming, Ouyang Yourang, Ouyang Youxian, the family is here.
Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Da Lang has seen his uncle, aunt, cousin Youming, cousin Yourang, and cousin Youxian, who should have returned to Beijing
After that, he went to visit his uncle, but he had to wait for the saint and the queen of heaven to summon him, so he did not leave the house."
"It's okay, Your Majesty matters." Ouyang Tong stood up, and the brothers on the side, Ouyang Youming, Ouyang Yourang, and Ouyang Youxian stood up and returned the salute at the same time: "Cousin Xuan."
"Sit down!" Princess Peng Ouyang beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said with emotion: "Da Lang is also successful in official career now, and now I only need to marry a wife and have children, and I am worthy of seeing the first king."
"What is my mother talking nonsense, when Sanniang enters, I just want to honor my mother with my son, my mother has a good life, why do you say these things." Li Xuan hurriedly comforted the mother concubine who was a little emotionally fluctuating.
"But then again, I haven't seen you for months, Dalang, and even your uncle is impressed with you now." Ouyang Tong quickly changed the topic, then pointed at Ouyang Youming and said, "That day, Youming was almost stunned when he heard a few poems you made."
Ouyang Youming hurriedly stood up and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "My cousin's poems, the words are not gorgeous, they are mostly simple and simple, and the emotions are sincere and unforgettable."
"My cousin is too famous, but I just feel it." Li Xuan stood up and returned the salute.
"Alright, alright, it's all my own family." Ouyang looked at his brother, and looked at his brother with some complaints: "Eldest brother, it's not my sister who said you, look at Da Lang, Erlang and San Lang, they are all old-fashioned and Taoist gentlemen."
"It's okay to be this way, be more steady, and be reassuring." Ouyang Tong casually scolded his sister-in-law.
Li Xuan, who was on the side, smiled a little helplessly at this time: "Uncle, do you mean to refer to your nephew?"
Ouyang Tong saw Li Xuan's appearance, and said helplessly, "You mother and son!"
Smiled helplessly, and Ouyang Tong's face immediately became solemn: "What Da Lang did in Wuzhou, my uncle often heard about in the court, but although there are some rumors, most of them are fine, and to be honest, you can do this in Wuzhou, and my uncle is not surprised."
"Uncle, please speak!" Li Xuan suddenly got up seriously and asked for advice.
"You are a disciple of the clan, Your Majesty has already arranged in Wuyue Prefecture, with your identity, as long as the forces here are combined, you will not do too badly, but my uncle didn't expect that you could borrow the power of wind and rain to that extent, quite like the style of Zhuge Kongming back then." Ouyang Tong looked serious, his words were not only his personal meaning.
As a guard Siqing, Ouyang Tong has many colleagues who are proficient in military affairs, and Li Xuan's methods are also amazing enough in the army.
Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can a nephew be compared to Zhuge Kongming, but Duan Dudu once privately commented that if you let your nephew defend the city, I am afraid that there will be few people in the world who can capture it."
This is the truth, Duan Baoxuan did say so to Li Xuan in private.
There was a reason for appointing him as the pacification envoy of Muzhou in the first place.
Ouyang Tong glanced at Li Xuan deeply, and Li Xuan's little caution couldn't hide it from him at all.
But then, Ouyang Tong nodded and said, "Defending is easier than attacking, among my court, there are many famous generals who are good at attacking, and although there are many who are good at defending, most of them are not famous."
"Then I'll trouble my uncle." Li Xuan gave his hand seriously, his connections between the centers were not extensive, and he was deliberately avoiding the wind and rain in the center, it was more difficult to do anything, but fortunately, there was Ouyang Tong, his uncle.
A little control of the center's wind rating is beneficial and harmless.
At this time, Su Zang, the chief butler of King Peng's Mansion, walked in from outside and arched his hand, "Princess, dinner is ready."
"Let's go!" Princess Ouyang stood up and walked towards the side hall.
In the study, Yu Ze placed two cups of tea in front of Li Xuan and Ouyang Tong.
"The attack on Tibet is a matter for the military and the northwestern prefectures, and it has little to do with the other provinces, provinces, and counties, and what the court is really concerned about now is the attitude of the sage towards Silla's invitation to sin." Ouyang Tong looked at Li Xuan and said the latest key points of the court.
Li Xuan groaned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, but now most people in the DPRK and China are inclined to a truce?"
」
"Aren't you the same, a few months ago, when Your Majesty the Divine Capital saw you, you presented many conditions of armistice to Your Majesty?" Ouyang Tong's words made Li Xuan a little surprised, and said, "My nephew's recital, my uncle has seen it?"
"I have seen it, and many people in the DPRK and China have seen it, but there are mixed reviews, some call it a whimsical fantasy, and some dismiss it as a ridiculous delusion." Ouyang Tong shook his head and said with some amusement: "It's really not many for you to write a piece written by a young man to be treated so solemnly by the ministers."
"What the courtiers think, the nephew doesn't care, the key depends on the opinions of the saint and the queen of heaven." Li Xuan's voice was very soft, which made Ouyang Tong solemn at once.
"Yes, you are the king of the dynasty, you only need to test the opinions of the saint and the queen of heaven, but how can anyone see the attitude of the saint and the queen of heaven!" Ouyang Tong sighed softly.
"Uncle, in fact, whether there is a truce or not is not on our side, and the attitude of the Silla people is also very important." After a pause, Li Xuan continued: "My nephew wrote in the recital that the Silla people are not trustworthy, their people are capricious, and they rebel today and tomorrow, and it is common for me to retreat towards the front of the army, and they will not care how they agree, but will only be tempted by inches, so there is still a battle before the army retreats."
"Do you know, the Duke of Lecheng County, the Duke of Yan Guo, as well as Li Jinxing, the ambassador of Andong Zhenfu, and Xue Li, the Duke of Pingyang County, all have the same attitude, so this battle is inevitable, and it is even already being planned." Ouyang Tong said a secret story about the DPRK and China.
"Yue Weng and the king of Pingyang County have fought with Silla, and Li Yuanjun is now the commander of Dongdao, it is not unusual for them to have such an idea, but it is still the same sentence, the Silla people are not trustworthy, they are capricious, even if a war can hurt them, but if there is a chance, the Silla people will pounce directly like mad dogs, and the strategy of Dongdao should be steady."
Li Xuan's suspicion of the Silla people is almost in his bones.
Ouyang Tong shook his head slightly, and said, "But the truce on the East Island is the overall situation, and the rest, no matter how close it is, is a small section, so in order to prevent recurrence in the future, it is very likely that His Majesty will adopt those strategies of Da Lang, so you have the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."
Li Xuan nodded silently, when he was in Yangzhou before, the Silla people had already colluded with the Tianyin Sect.
And in the Tianyin Sect, there is another very important figure, this person is the king of the Western Regions, the teacher of the Tubo country.
Once Silla and Kumara collude, then when the Tang Dynasty and Tubo go to war next year, it is difficult to guarantee that Silla will not make trouble on the East Island.
Li Xuan is even sure that it is inevitable.
