West of Chang'an City, outside Jinguang Gate.

A carriage slowly came out of the city gate, and Li Xuan rode a horse to the side of the carriage.

Followed by Qin Ming, Laisui, and Di Renjie, they came to bid farewell to Li Xuan today.

Ahead, a team of Qianniuwei and a team of Jinwuwei, holding a long lance, lined up left and right, and walked forward slowly.

A group of people guarded the central carriage and traveled north to the bank of Weishui.

There were three huge official ships docked on the river, on which stood hundreds of military guards, as well as a large amount of grain, grass, ordnance and craftsmen.

Li Xuan returned to Chang'an this time, in addition to participating in several imperial meetings, he also invited a large number of craftsmen and ordnance from the Ministry of Industry at the same time.

The emperor said that he should be the king of the northwest, but he had to beat the king of the northwest himself.

There are not only Tubo and Tuyuhun in the northwest, but also countless proud soldiers, and it is not so easy to make them all surrender.

……

The carriage stopped, and the curtain opened.

A wooden stroller was pushed down first, followed by Liu Jinyu holding the wrapped thick Xiaoxia Niang, stepping out of the car, and then putting her in the stroller.

Looking at the novel world outside, Xiao Xia Niang rarely didn't cry, but just stretched out her hand curiously, opened her eyes, and grasped everything around her in ignorance.

"Babble!" Li Xuan lowered her body and stretched out her hand to flick Xiao Xia Niang's fingers.

The little girl immediately widened her eyes, waved her arms, and screamed with "babbling".

Li Xuan looked up with a happy smile and looked at Liu Jinyu opposite.

Liu Jinyu was also looking at Li Xuan, and her eyes were full of Li Xuan's shadow.

Full of reluctance.

"Alright, that's it." Li Xuan smiled gently, trying not to let the sorrow and farewell be revealed, patted her mother's arm, and said softly: "Now in mid-September, according to Your Majesty's wishes, if everything goes well, the husband will come back at the beginning of December, and it will only take two and a half months to come and go...... When the weather is warmer next year, you will take Xia Niang to Taozhou to worship your ancestors, and your husband can also take the opportunity to live for two days. ”

Taozhou is where the Marshal's Mansion of the Taohe Road Marching Army is located, Liu Jinyu can't go to Xinzhou on the front line, but Li Xuan can go back to Taozhou by himself.

Where the ancestral land of the Li family in Longxi, Taozhou, Liu Jinyu went to worship, and there was no problem in name.

As long as he talks to Zongzheng Temple in advance, Li Xuan can see who will jump out of the court.

"Lang Jun take care, the future is difficult, you must be careful, remember that there are Sanniang and Xia'er at home, as well as the mother concubine." When Liu Jinyu said this, she suddenly stopped.

There was a slight choking in her tone, and a little tear had crept into her eyes.

Finally, Liu Jinyu said solemnly: "Lang Jun rest assured, everything in the family, Sanniang will take care of it, waiting for Lang Jun to come back." ”

Li Xuan subconsciously took Liu Jinyu's hand and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you will think more about acting on the front line for your husband...... Besides, my husband writes a letter back every five days to let you know what's going on at the front, as long as you're not annoyed. ”

The emperor still asked Li Xuan to send a letter back to Chang'an every five days, and from the beginning, it never stopped.

Li Xuan was naturally happy to do so, and he could also bring some private goods home at the same time.

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu cleaned up her thoughts, then handed a letter to Li Xuan, and said softly: "This is a letter from the family to my grandfather, the letter is all family affairs, Lang Jun can help bring it over." ”

"Good!" Li Xuan put away the letter, then turned his head to look at Qin Ming, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, you will take care of the Kaihuafang more." ”

"Don't worry." Qin Ming smiled and said, "The Kaihua Workshop is a royal family, and whoever dares to come here will kill whoever comes." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, although countless complicated thoughts flashed in his heart, he was suppressed in the blink of an eye.

As long as Li Zhi is still alive, then he will stabilize Mount Tai at home, as long as he is careful that those little ghosts in Chang'an don't come nonsense, these people, Qin Ming can still suppress them.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Di Renjie and said, "The military food delivery on the front line is bothering Brother Di to keep an eye on it. ”

"Don't worry, this is Huaiying's responsibility." Di Renjie nodded seriously.

Now that the Zhaoling arson case has come to an end for the time being, he can just focus on the transfer of grain and grass in the household.

Everyone knows that the corruption of local officials in the matter of grain and grass is very heavy, which is enough for him to show his skills.

"The military situation of the military department, please come to my brother to take care of it." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Xiang Sui.

"You're welcome, don't worry, the battle report from Tuyuhun will be sent to the hands of the prince of Pingyuan County as soon as possible, and then sent to the palace." Lai Sui smiled with his hand, and then said with emotion: "I don't know when I will be able to gallop together with the prince on the battlefield?" ”

"It's better not to want it, the battlefield sword has no eyes......" Li Xuan was halfway through his words, and when he saw the worry on Liu Jinyu's face rising again, he quickly changed his words and said: "As long as you don't rush to the forefront, you will definitely be safe." ”

The worry on Liu Jinyu's face has subsided a lot, but she still looks at Li Xuan tightly.

Li Xuan looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "Okay, it's not early, it's time to go." ”

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Xia Niang in the cradle, and gently touched her face, and Xiao Xia Niang, who had a hard beard, was dissatisfied.

In the cry of "babbling", Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu deeply and said seriously: "Lady, take care of yourself." ”

"Hmmm! Take care! Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, and then watched Li Xuan turn around and get on the big boat on the side.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at his wife staring below, Li Xuan's right hand waved lightly.

In Liu Jinyu's gaze, the official ship began to start slowly.

……

Li Xuan had been standing silently at the bow of the boat, watching Liu Jinyu's figure disappear from sight before he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He could imagine that when his figure disappeared completely, Sanniang was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.

For a while, infinite emotions welled up in my heart......

"Amitabha!" A Buddha horn sounded behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan subconsciously turned around, and a monk wearing a gray robe and twisting Buddhist beads in his hand, and a Taoist priest wearing a cyan Taoist robe and a long sword on his back stood behind him.

Li Xuan immediately arched his hand and said, "Master Huiri, Ziyang Zhenren." ”

"Lord Wang!" Hui Ri, who twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, returned the salute, and then said: "Today's parting, he will meet every day, and his life will be long-term, and please don't worry about it for a while." ”

"Thank you for your concern, this westward journey, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive the master." Li Xuan smiled, and the previous sorrow and farewell were instantly pressed into the bottom of her heart.

"The prince doesn't need to be polite, when the ancestor traveled west to Tianzhu to take the Mahayana scriptures and returned, now Hui Ri can go west to Tuyuhun and spread the Mahayana scriptures Tuyuhun is also a merit." Hui Ri closed slightly.

Hui Ri of the Great Ci'en Temple, the disciple of Peeping Ji, the grandson of Xuanzang, wants to establish a branch of the Buddhist temple of the Wisdom Sect in Qinghai.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Back then, Master Xuanzang traveled west through Lanzhou and went to Liangzhou, but unfortunately he never went to Shanzhou, and now the master is ......."

Li Xuan suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, because at this time, just in front of him, a black canopy boat was slowly coming.

At the bow of the ship stood two men, dressed in crimson official robes.

The two Li Xuan are no strangers, and Liu Yizhi and Zuo Shifan are Bing in the matter.

"Master, real person, please come back first, there is a guest." Li Xuan nodded slightly at Hui Ri and Deng Ziyang, and his gaze instantly became solemn.

"Amitabha!" Hui Ri bowed his head and shouted the Buddha's horn, then turned around and entered the cabin.

Deng Ziyang was a little behind, glanced at the two people on the canopy boat, and finally couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said: "It turned out to be two bachelors from the North Gate, people from the Buddhist Sect, who want to teach the Fa to Tibet, but they don't want to get involved in the disputes in the court. ”

Spreading the Fa to Tibet, Deng Ziyang's words made Li Xuan suddenly realize.

After speaking, Deng Ziyang saluted Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, Poor Dao will also go back first." ”

"Real people walk slowly!" Li Xuan bowed slightly to Deng Ziyang.

This Ziyang Zhenren was a disciple of Maoshan Mountain, but later went to Longhu Mountain to teach Dugong Zhengyi Dharma Urn, and worshiped Nanyue Deng Zhenren as a teacher when he traveled through the landscape.

One hand "canopy spell" and the other hand Northern Emperor swordsmanship are very amazing.

Both of them were invited by Li Xuan to open the Guanli Temple in Tuyuhun, and if they could make the people of Tuyuhun more inclined to the Tang Dynasty in terms of faith, it would be of great benefit to him to govern Tuyuhun.

Retracting his gaze, Li Xuan's expression became solemn again.

Looking at Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing, who were gradually approaching on Weishui, Li Xuan waved his hand, and the speed of the official ship immediately slowed down.

When the two sides approached, Li Xuan took the lead and shouted loudly: "Two bachelors, I never thought that I could meet you in Weishui today, it's really a blessing. ”

"The prince is polite." Liu Yizhi returned the salute to Li Xuan, and said at the same time: "I just returned from Wugong County on business, but I didn't expect to meet the prince traveling west, which is really lucky." ”

"That's true." Li Xuan smiled gently, but there was a secret scolding in his heart.

Who in the court doesn't know that he is going to take a boat west back to Qingnan today, but you two Beimen bachelors appear here together, it's not a ghost.

"I heard that the prince is going west to Qilian Mountain this time, to meet the army of Ganliang Road and Shasu Road, if they meet, please take care of His Royal Highness King Xiang more." Fan Lubing stood on one side and bowed his hand slightly.

"This is natural, but the supply of grain and grass in Qingbei will also trouble the two bachelors to take care of it." Li Xuan nodded, then bowed and stared.

"Rest assured, the army's military rations will definitely take Qingbei first." Liu Yizhi arched his hand at Li Xuan, and then said: "In this way, I won't disturb the prince's westward journey, and Yizhi wishes the prince a smooth journey." ”

"I wish you a smooth journey." Fan Lubing also gave his hand, and Li Xuan returned the salute.

The goal was achieved, and the next moment, Liu Yizhi waved his hand to the side, and the canopy boat headed east again, heading towards Chang'an.

Seeing the two disappear from sight, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The emperor is such a good means.

Just let him participate in Li Dan's engagement, and the attitude of the group of Beimen scholars towards him immediately changed.

Originally, the focus of the Beimen Bachelors was on Li Dan of Shasu Dao, but now, they are paying more attention to Qingbei.

Once Li Xuan raided Dayan Mangjiebo's department from behind, then the grain and grass on Qilian Mountain would be able to be transported from Qingbei.

After all, compared with the extremely steep Qilian Mountain, although Qingbei has the same undulating mountains, it is relatively gentle.

Shanzhou has a perfect transportation channel, which is much better than Suzhou and Ganzhou.

The emperor's simple methods, the main forces of the North Gate Scholar and the imperial court have joined forces to use all their strength on the plateau war.

The entire court machine began to run rapidly.

The overall situation is favorable, but in the end, some people's interests are damaged.

This person is not a bachelor from the North Gate, not Li Xuan, not the imperial court, but the crown prince Li Xian.

The emperor's attitude has changed, and it can be clearly seen from Li Xuan's participation in Li Dan's wedding that the hearts of many people in the court have changed.

Although Li Xian is the crown prince, and now he is the eldest son, but the Tang royal family, not every prince, every eldest son can become the emperor.

Or, until now, never.

Not to mention, before that, there was also filial piety to Emperor Li Hong.

Li Xian's status in the emperor's heart has begun to decline rapidly.

The emperor just fiddled with Li Xuan's chess piece, and he held all the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition in his hands.

And he also gave him the false title of the king of the northwest.

Li Xuan is not stupid, although the emperor gave him Qugou New City and Xinghai, but in that kind of place, in addition to the shortage of people, there is also an extreme shortage of food.

I don't know how hard it is to get a foothold in that kind of place.

Not to mention, they also have to face the threat of Tibet at all times.

If you can't completely stabilize the situation with the help of the army in Qingnan, it will be even more difficult in the future.

Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't know that the emperor still planned to take Wuhai and then hand it over to him to manage and govern.

If Li Xuan knew about it, he would almost be so angry that he would explode.

If that's the case, he, the king of the northwest, will really become a drinker of the northwest wind.

Still, there are opportunities.

The key depends on the situation in Wuhai.

After all, it was a place that Li Xuan had never set foot in before.
