On the second day of the first month, sacrifice to the God of Wealth and return to your mother's home.

……

"Wulang, Siniang, Wuniang, Xiaoguang'er......" Liu Jinyu stood in the lobby with a red face, handing out red envelopes to her younger brothers and sisters, as well as a few little nephews, and the whole person was happy like a child.

Li Xuan stood on the steps on the side, her eyes always fell on Liu Jinyu's body, nervous.

She is now pregnant, and whenever there is no child here, if something happens, Li Xuan doesn't even cry.

"Okay, virtuous son-in-law, Sanniang is here, with your mother-in-law and a few elders to take care of you, you don't have to worry." Liu Yuanlang stood behind Li Xuan, looked at him with a nervous face, shook his head, and said funny: "Let's go, Aya called you, something's wrong!" ”

Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he arched his hand at Liu Yuanlang and said, "Huh! ”

……

Passing through a remote courtyard gate, a secluded courtyard appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Wells, stone tables, and weapon racks, on which are placed more than a dozen weapons, but it seems that they have not been touched for a long time.

Inside, the door was wide open, and the hall was bright, and you could see that it was full of bookshelves.

Li Xuan followed her father-in-law Liu Yuanlang into from the outside, and saw Liu Renliang in a cyan brocade robe on the table, with a pair of words written "Study, Prudence, Thinking, and Discernment".

The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, the peaks and peaks are steep, straight up and down, such as the pine.

When Liu Renliang's last stroke fell and the brush was placed on the pen stand on the side, Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "My son-in-law has seen Yue Weng, I wish Yue Weng good health and a long life." ”

Liu Renliang raised his head, looked at Li Xuan with a calm face, and asked, "Do you know the origin of these words?" ”

Li Xuan arched his hand and said seriously: "The Mean": erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice. ”

"It seems that the virtuous son-in-law understands the truth here, but Shiro, do you understand?" Liu Renliang looked up at the door

"Only by studying extensively, asking prudently, thinking carefully, clearly discerning, and performing in a down-to-earth manner can we truly achieve the ideal realm of knowledge and life." Liu Yuanlang stood at the door, frowning slightly, and replied cautiously.

"Huh?" Liu Renliang shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Li Xuan, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Li Xuan turned to Liu Yuanlang and seriously bowed his hand, and said: "Only by studying extensively can we prudently ask questions when encountering affairs and things, and then carefully think about the answers to these questions, clearly distinguish the correct truth, discard the incorrect things, and then implement the correct principles in a down-to-earth manner...... This is a progressive relationship, not a juxtaposition. ”

Liu Yuanlang's pupils opened slightly, and his face was a little ashamed.

He has read books all his life, and his understanding of knowledge is not as good as that of his son-in-law.

Liu Renliang sighed lightly and said: "Knowing things, things, and people, you always have to understand one, if you don't understand anything, how can you rest assured that your father will go out?" ”

"Out of office, what's the matter, is my father-in-law going to be out of office?" Li Xuan's face was full of surprise.

He had never heard Liu Jinyu talk about this, after all, his father-in-law Liu Yuanlang was no longer young, and it was difficult to have much future for him.

But now that Liu Renliang has said so, then it must have been done.

It's just that if Liu Renliang arranges it, then how will Liu Yuenlong be arranged?

"The day after tomorrow, the edict will be delivered to him, and he will be appointed as the secretary of the sixth rank and serve under the Duke of Zhou." Liu Renliang's face brought a hint of worry.

Zhou Guogong, secretary and supervisor, Wu Chenghei.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity, looked at Liu Renliang, and asked puzzledly: "Yue Weng, why was my father-in-law chosen as the secretary?" ”

"It's not chosen, if it is according to the old man's meaning, it would be good if he didn't come out of his life, but now, this is the meaning of the palace, and the old man is not good at blocking his future." Speaking of this, Liu Renliang was a little helpless, looked at Li Xuan with some amusement and said: "From now on, Shilang's matter will be entrusted to the virtuous son-in-law, with the virtuous son-in-law in front of him, it will be much easier for the old man to deal with it." ”

The reason why Liu Renliang was originally reluctant to let Liu Yuanlang go out was because he couldn't take care of this son for long.

Although Liu Yuenlong is a shrewd person, over the years, he has also helped Liu Renliang deal with many political affairs, but the affairs of the DPRK and China have always been intrigues and tricks, and people's hearts are calculating, which are common things.

In the early years, Liu Renliang knew that he would not stay in the center for long, so he was reluctant to let Liu Yuanlang go out at will, because he was worried that if he was not careful, he would fall into the complicated political struggle between the DPRK and China.

But what is happening now is not up to him.

The palace suddenly appointed Liu Yuanlang's secretary, and Liu Renliang was not good at this time.

After all, there is now an extra Li Xuan in front of Liu Yuanlang.

……

"Is this someone trying to hit his son-in-law through his father-in-law?" Li Xuan saw the means at a glance.

Li Xuan has always been cautious in doing things, and he will not be caught by others easily, so if he wants to deal with him, he can only start with the people around him.

The people of Nanchang Palace, Li Xuan's requirements have always been strict, so the only person who is convenient to seize the loophole, and has the opportunity to hit Li Xuan hard, is Li Xuan's father-in-law Liu Yuanlang.

Li Xuan looked up at Liu Renliang and said with a wry smile: "This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said, "In the future, I will bother my son-in-law to take care of Shiro more." ”

Li Xuan reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Son-in-law takes the order." ”

Liu Yuanlang finally figured out the danger behind this appointment, and in an instant, he resolutely gave his hand and said: "Aya, virtuous son-in-law, how about I resign from the post of secretary?" ”

"No." Li Xuan and Liu Renliang waved their hands at the same time, not approving of Liu Yuanlang's approach.

"This matter may be hidden in danger and cunning, but the appointment must be caused by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, if there is no proper reason, it will be easily resigned, and it will inevitably be hated by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven at the same time." Liu Renliang briefly introduced two sentences, and Liu Yuanlang finally understood at this time.

If he does not have this proper reason to turn down the appointment, then he can only accept it.

Liu Yuanlang's face was bitter, the first half of his life was because of his father, and now in the second half of his life, he began to be because of his son-in-law.

……

"Stand by and listen to what my good son-in-law has to say." Liu Renliang looked at Liu Yuanlang and sighed softly.

In the early years, although he taught him a lot of ways to be an official, it was always difficult for him to put it in his heart, and I hope that today, he can grow up.

Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan: "The virtuous son-in-law was transferred to Honglu Temple this time, what is the matter, presumably Ouyang Tongshi has already spoken to the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "It's a matter of negotiating an alliance with Silla and the Wa Kingdom." ”

Liu Renliang followed up and asked, "What does the virtuous son-in-law think?" ”

"When it comes to negotiating with Silla, according to the opinion of the son-in-law, you might as well open your mouth." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Liu Renliang, a sneer flashed on his face: "Anyway, Silla has never planned to talk to me about anything, so I might as well press the bottom line to buy Xiao City and Qichong City, and at the same time negotiate with the Japanese State to lead him north." ”

"Still fighting." Liu Renliang saw the real plan in Li Xuan's heart at a glance, and then asked: "Have you ever thought that after the first battle of Tubo, whether it is victory or defeat, it will be difficult for our dynasty to have the strength to fight again. ”

War is never just about soldiers, logistics, military rations, and national strength, all of which are very important.

"Grandson-in-law naturally understands." Li Xuan's face calmed down, then he looked at Liu Renliang and said, "But Yue Weng thinks that our army is almost certain to win this battle in Tibet. ”

Li Xuan's words directly showed his true thoughts in front of Liu Renliang's eyes.

Once it was difficult to win the first battle of Tibet, then in order to divert attention, Silla was the best target.

Liu Renliang's eyes were completely solemn, he looked up at Liu Yuanlang with a shocked face, and then said: "There are only three of us today, the virtuous son-in-law might as well tell me why it is difficult to win this battle, and if the virtuous son-in-law is in command, what should it be?" ”

"Does Yue Weng still remember Huo Huqi?" Li Xuan raised his head, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Huo Quai?" Liu Renliang was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why Li Xuan mentioned Huo Qu's illness.

Li Xuan smiled faintly: "Tubo Senhan, grandson-in-law knows, Wenxi County Gong has deliberately trained soldiers in the Northeast and Hebei, and Mobei has exercised soldiers in order to adapt to the northwest environment, but Yue Weng, no matter how the Tang Dynasty soldiers adapt, it is difficult to be equal to the Tubo soldiers. ”

"Our army has thick armor and fierce horses, if it can be skillfully arranged, a head-on decisive battle, there is still one or two chances of victory." Liu Renliang waved his hand, if it is said that the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has no advantage at all, it is not necessarily true.

Even if the Tang army suffered heavy losses in the defeat of Dafeichuan that year, the losses of the Tubo soldiers were still above the Tang Dynasty.

"So it will be above the grain and grass." Li Xuan Zhengse looked at Liu Renliang and said: "If the grain and grass can be transported to the front line in time in this battle, then there is still a chance to win this battle, but if the grain and grass are wrong, there will be a danger of Dafeichuan, so if you want to win, the front-line generals must effectively imitate Huo Huo's heart to get sick." ”

Huo Quai, the champion of the Han Dynasty, and the hussar general.

Led 800 cavalry deep into the desert, directly took Qilian Mountain, eliminated more than 70,000 people of the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King in the battle of Mobei, pursued and killed to the Wolf Juxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain, and returned to the Hanhai Sea, and finally made the Xiongnu flee far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert.

Huo Quzhi is flexible in using troops, and is good at long-distance raids, rapid raids, big detours, large intersperses, and annihilation battles.

But those who really read history books know that Huo Quai's expedition to Mobei relied on four words, and he ate the enemy.

There are also people in the Tang Dynasty who follow Huo Quai's example and wipe out the Eastern Turks, and this person is Li Jing.

Although Li Wei is also the god of war, he is not as good as Li Jing, and even in the book "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asks the Right Question", it is clearly recorded that Li Wei's art of war has been taught by Li Jing.

The Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, and more or less used this method.

Liu Renliang is also a veteran general on the battlefield, he is clear about this, he raised his head and looked at Li Xuan calmly, and asked: "Following Huo Qu's heart of illness, this move is not something ordinary people can do, and the virtuous son-in-law has also killed on the battlefield, this move, the virtuous son-in-law can do it?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Liu Renliang, and finally sighed lightly and shook his head.

A hint of relief flashed in the depths of Liu Renliang's eyes, and then he looked at Li Xuan: "Who does the virtuous son-in-law think that among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, can do this, is it the county prince of Wenxi or the county prince of Pingyang?" ”

Wenxi County Gong Pei Xingjian, Pingyang County Gong Xue Rengui.

Li Xuan's voice suddenly deepened, and then he said softly: "Among the people that my grandson-in-law has seen and met now, there is only one person who can do this, and this person is the heir of the British duke, Li Jingye." ”

Today I have a toothache and a lot of typos, so I changed it later
