Empress Wu muttered Yao Chong's name in her heart, raised her head to look at Li Xuan, and then asked, "The history of the governor of Changzhou has been decided, so what about Sima of Changzhou?" ”

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a surprised expression, "Can Sima Chen also recommend it?" ”

"Of course." Empress Wu nodded happily, and at the same time said seriously: "Changzhou is located in the borderland, the history of assassination and the long history are foreign, Sima is responsible for the military, to prevent Tibet, naturally the locals should fill the role." ”

Li Xuan took a breath, his face turned pale, and then he arched his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, now in Changzhou, there are two people from the Tuyuhun tribe, one is the right Xiaowei Zhonglang of the inspection school, and the other is the Qugou City guard Red Tibet, if Sima, he should be the genus of benevolence, he is cautious, sensitive, good at current affairs, and loyal to the Tang Dynasty......"

"That's him." Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked with a smile: "Why is there another candidate for the position of Sima in addition to these two kings of Nanchang?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the queen of heaven, there are." Li Xuan arched his hand and said with a little helplessness: "The minister originally wanted to be benevolent and graceful as the order of Xinghai County to resist Tubo, which is also suitable, as for Changzhou Sima, the minister originally wanted to use the right guard hussar lieutenant Li Yi, as a clan, he is good at transferring military supplies, accustomed to fortifications, and transporting logistics, properly and worry-free." ”

"Huh!" Empress Wu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Such a talent should be left to the right guard, and Li Yi will be promoted to the right guard general, and he will be in charge of the grain road in Taohe and Kuochang." ”

"Commandment." Li Xuan seriously bowed his hand, and his heart was awe-inspiring.

Ren Grace has been co-opted in silence, and the Empress Wu gave Li Xuan the long history, inserted a nail in his hand, and pulled out Li Xuan's capable talents, with clever means.

It's just that if you use benevolence as the Sima of Changzhou, then the state soldiers of Changzhou should be dominated by Tuyuhun people.

But Changzhou Border Prefecture, you don't use the Han people as the main suppression, but use the Tuyuhun people, do you really care about the safety of the border state?

Or is it ......

Empress Wu suddenly spoke, interrupting Li Xuan's thoughts, and then asked, "Then what about Liucao joining the army and the county order of Liuxian, what do you recommend?" ”

Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Six Cao joined the army, Hu Cao joined the army, and the minister hopes to appoint officials who are good at grazing in Taifu Temple; Fa Cao joined the army, and the minister hoped to be able to use Dali Temple to dispatch; Bing Cao joined the army, and the minister recommended the Qianniu Guards to lead Zhang Huan; Cangcao joined the army, and the minister wanted to be a more cautious official in the user department; Shi Cao joined the army, and the minister hoped to dispatch officials who were good at bridge construction from the general as a supervisor, and as for Gong Cao to join the army, the minister hoped to call the imperial history platform to supervise the imperial history. ”

The imperial history of the imperial history is the seventh grade, and the local merit Cao joining the army is the sixth grade, although it is not as good as serving the imperial history, but it is also a way to rise.

Empress Wu nodded, pondering Li Xuan's words, among the six Cao joining the army, Li Xuan only recommended one Zhang Huan.

In fact, Empress Wu knew in her heart that this was Li Xuan's original plan.

If he used Li Yi as Sima, then he would naturally have to make concessions elsewhere.

It's just that now Sima has become a benevolent gift, he naturally wants to make up for it in Bing Cao's joining the army, and he chose Zhang Huan for this person.

Although Zhang Huan is a Qianniuwei, he does not have much role in leading troops in combat and spying on intelligence, and he only has four words for Li Xuan: loyalty and diligence.

"Yes." Empress Wu nodded, Li Xuan only needs one soldier Cao to join the army, and there are many wars in the border states, which is very important.

"As for the six county orders, Tongren County orders Yu Ze, Qugou County orders Chihongzang, Zeku County orders want to be transferred from the generals, Guinan and Tongde county orders, ministers want to be transferred from Sinong Temple, and the final Xinghai County order is the same from Taifu Temple." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he was a little uneasy about the selection of the Xinghai County Order.

"It doesn't have to be from Taifu Temple, but from the grassland in the north and the area around Shanzhou." Empress Wu nodded gently.

Li Xuan suddenly arched his hand and said: "It's the minister's narrow vision. ”

Empress Wu waved her hand and said: "It can be seen that you don't have much selfishness, and you use people more to put skills first, and this is very important." ”

In the border states, don't think too much about character, and the danger of the overall situation is the premise of everything.

"The queen is wise." Li Xuan and Di Renjie gave up at the same time.

"That's all for today." Empress Wu nodded, looked at Di Renjie, and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter, this palace will give Di Qing an explanation, you wait for the time being." ”

"Thank you for the care of the Queen of Heaven, the minister is fine." Di Renjie gave his hand gratefully, he knew that Li Jingye's matter was not easy to handle.

The British Duke has had a large number of people in the capital and local areas for many years, and Li Jingye has an accident, and I don't know how many people want to abandon the court.

It takes a lot of effort to separate them and then relocate and clean them when they can't be one-size-fits-all.

Empress Wu turned her head to look at Li Xuan and said, "The prince of Pengcheng County is about to come back, and you will go out with the prince when you arrive." ”

"Commandment." Li Xuan bowed his head solemnly.

Empress Wu waved her hand, Li Xuan and Di Renjie immediately gave up, and then said goodbye and withdrew from Zichen Palace.

……

Under the dim firelight, Empress Wu thought for a long time and said: "Spread the decree, summon the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei Cheng Chubi, and summon Lang Yuan Wanqing!" ”

"Whoa!" Soon, footsteps sounded behind the curtain, and then quietly disappeared.

It didn't take long for heavy footsteps to sound.

Cheng Chubi solemnly walked into the main hall, and arched his hand to the Empress Wu who seemed to be thinking quietly above: "Minister Cheng Chubi, I have seen the Queen of Heaven." ”

"Hmm!" Empress Wu raised her head slightly, and then asked directly: "How is Shi Yaoyi, the head of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, who is a person?" ”

Cheng Chubi was stunned for a moment, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Yao Changshi is sincere, loyal, and quite talented, and he is conscientious and conscientious in the position of Zuo Jinwu Wei Changshi, and he has made proper calculations and has never made mistakes. ”

"Is that all?" Empress Wu leaned forward slightly, looked at Cheng Chubi and said, "The King of Nanchang recommended Yao Yi to be the governor of Changzhou earlier, and the palace has agreed. ”

Cheng Chu was stunned, but then he anxiously arched his hand and said: "Queen of Heaven, no, Yao Changshi has a very heavy task in Zuo Qianniuwei, all the ministries and departments are clearly organized, and the affairs should be handled properly, without him, Zuo Jin Wuwei is afraid that there will be chaos for a while." ”

"What's the panic, Zuo Jin Wuwei has two lieutenant generals, and there are also records to join the army, Cangcao to join the army, soldiers Cao to join the army, Cai Cao to join the army and Xuan Cao to join the army, what's the big deal about the lack of a long history." Empress Wu glanced at Cheng Chubi coldly, then looked sideways at him and asked, "You don't think this person is easy to use, so you keep it in your hand, right?" ”

Empress Wu tilted his head sideways and looked at Cheng Chubi in disbelief.

Cheng Chubi hurriedly defended: "The queen of heaven, the minister is not so selfish, but he was transferred from Jinwu Wei Changshi to the local governor, which is somewhat of a loss. ”

"This is an inevitable thing, serving in Jin Wuwei, there is no meritorious, how to get to the top, when he gets to the place, if he does well, this palace doesn't mind transferring him back and serving as a supervisor." Empress Wu has already put Yao Yi in her heart.

Yao Lingzhang, Yao Yi and Yao Chong.

These talents of the Yao family, she will not be idle.

"Yes." Cheng Chubi seriously bowed his hand, and it could be seen that the queen of heaven took Yao Yi very seriously, so it was not a loss.

After a slight pause, the queen of heaven after the martial arts became gloomy, and then said directly: "From today to Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Chang'an ground, clean the palace, and the assassination of Di Renjie today must not happen again." ”

"Commandment." Cheng Chubi immediately gave up his hand.

Empress Wu asked him to clean up the ground in Chang'an, not to let him strengthen patrols, clear the ground bandits, and then quickly solve the case, but to let him start in the dark and completely clean up all possible hidden dangers in advance.

If nothing happens, it's fine, and if something happens, it's all his responsibility.

But it's not a big deal.

Empress Wu then waved her hand, Cheng Chubi bowed his hand heavily, and then retreated cautiously.

At this time, Yuan Wanqing appeared at the side door of the palace on the side, and said to the Empress Wu slightly: "Queen of Heaven." ”

Empress Wu nodded, and said with a cold face: "There is a problem with the secret guard. ”

"Yes." Yuan Wanqing bowed heavily, and then said, "It's the minister's dereliction of duty." ”

"Over the years, all aspects of the manpower drawn from the secret guards, to make a statistic, this palace does not want to see again, there are secret guards to kill people in Chang'an." Empress Wu looked at the empty hall in front of her, her face was extremely cold.

Yuan Wanqing immediately arched his hand and said, "Oh! ”

"Di Renjie was assassinated tonight, and the first thought after this was that you were taking revenge, but then I figured out that you shouldn't use such low-level means to kill people." Empress Wu turned around and looked at Yuan Wanqing with a cold gaze.

Yuan Wanqing instantly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "The minister thought the same thing at the first time, so he immediately investigated, and none of his colleagues moved. ”

"Very good, the New Year is coming, Chang'an is better to be quieter." Empress Wu retracted her gaze, and in a word, the deep meaning had been transmitted.

"Whoa!"

"Ben Hou immediately thought that this was Li Jingye's revenge, and at the same time, he was also telling Bengong in disguise that if he really took refuge in Tubo, it would be difficult for Datang to win in the first battle of Qinghai." Empress Wu raised her head slightly, her eyes carefully staring at all the changes on Yuan Wanqing's face.

The corners of Yuan Wanqing's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he arched his hand and said: "Queen of Heaven, Li Jingye is a cardinal of his own, and he doesn't want to focus on the matter of Tubo, it's not that he doesn't want to focus more, but he can't focus more." ”

"Elaborate."

"Whoa!" Yuan Wanqing straightened up slightly, and then continued: "At the beginning of this year, it was originally scheduled that the Duke of Wenxi County would be the head of the Lanshan Road march, but after His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven noticed that the Tubo people were using their intentions in the Western Regions, they quietly transferred the Duke of Wenxi County to the Western Regions, and appointed Zuo Xiang as the generalissimo of the Northwest Road March. ”

After a pause, Yuan Wanqing continued: "The method of marching the left minister is completely different from that of Wenxi County, and under his command are familiar generals such as Li Jinxing, Hei Zhi Changzhi, Xiao Siye and Sun Renshi, and finally there are new generals such as King Nanchang, Wang Xiaojie and Li Duozuo, so that the victory of the army can be achieved. ”

Empress Wu nodded approvingly: "Not bad." ”

"The generals of the Zuo Xiang line, not to mention the strangers of the Tubo people, is Li Jingye, I'm afraid I don't know much, I know the enemy but the enemy doesn't know me, so I have this victory." Yuan Wanqing sneered slightly and said, "Li Jingye has done a lot of tricks and feet in the middle, but he was defeated one by one. ”

Empress Wu nodded again, her expression softened a lot, and then said, "Yes, he has tried his best to disrupt the battle, but it has been broken." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Wanqing gave up again.

"Let's go back." Empress Wu waved her hand, and then said: "You and Li Jingye have been implicated a lot, so cut them all off." ”

Yuan Wanqing was stunned, and solemnly arched his hand: "Oh! ”

Bowing down and bowing his head, Yuan Wanqing slowly pushed out the Zichen Palace.

The moment he left the hall, Yuan Wanqing was in a cold sweat.

This kind of thing, the queen of heaven has always looked for Ming Chongyan.

……

In the Penglai Palace, Empress Wu slowly squeezed into the warm futon.

An arm then hugged her, and then asked in a vague whisper, "How?" ”

Empress Wu replied softly: "Li Jingye is warning his concubine, if the concubine attacks him, then he will make Chang'an bleed." ”

"Heh, he's worthy of it!"
