The western suburbs of Chang'an, on the banks of the Weishui River.

Flags are displayed, and swords and guns are everywhere.

Countless soldiers stood on both sides of the Weishui River to welcome Liu Ren's return to the court.

Li Xuan stood in the center of the crowd, and Li Xian was still asleep in the carriage behind him.

The crown princess suddenly felt unwell last night, and the news even reached King Peng's mansion, and just when Li Xuan was about to go out, the news came back that the crown princess was fine.

Li Xuan was awakened, and Li Xian didn't sleep all night.

Now he has to go out of the city again to pick up Liu Renliang, and while he waits, Li Xian falls asleep.

Retracting his gaze, a trace of gloom flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

He may have made a mistake.

When Di Renjie was assassinated a few days ago, Li Xuan focused on Li Jingye from the beginning, which made him ignore a lot.

Li Jingye is not a stupid person, he will not do such a stupid thing easily.

Once he annoys Empress Wu and the emperor, then he will not wait for him to go to Liuzhou at all, and a cup of poisonous wine will be given directly.

However, under these actions, Empress Wu was not so annoyed, and just told Li Xuan and Di Renjie that this matter needed to be dealt with slowly.

Of course, it will take time to deal with Li Jingye's party.

But in this way, Li Jingye also won a buffer plan.

So what does Li Jingye want to do during this time?

Also, if Di Renjie hadn't been arranged in advance that night, who would be the first target to be suspected once he died?

Bachelor of the North Gate.

Liu Yizhi has just died, and the assassin who assassinated Di Renjie is related to the secret guard, so it is not the North Gate Bachelor, but also the North Gate Bachelor.

The North Gate Bachelors were hit, but they were innocent, who would they suspect?

Prince.

It must be the crown prince.

However, Li Xian and Li Jingye are still related.

In the previous turmoil, Li Xian has shown his skills, and he is not as easy to deal with as people think.

He wasn't completely unfamiliar with the Secret Guard, either.

And this must come from the emperor's permission.

Invisibly, it shows the emperor's trust in the crown prince.

The authority of the secret guard, the emperor also began to transfer a part of it to the crown prince.

What the real situation is, Li Xuan doesn't know, he will not be tempted easily, because these things have nothing to do with him at all.

With the threat of Tibet, no one will easily move him, but if the Tubo people are defeated, Li Xuan may be unlucky.

But the contradiction between the crown prince and the bachelor of the north gate will intensify.

Li Xuan has a feeling that Li Jingye's means will not be the only one.

His real purpose was to make the crown prince and the Beimen scholar fight endlessly, and the emperor and the empress martial arts were also involved.

As a result, no one pays attention to him anymore.

The emperor's body is also in a few years, and Li Jingye waited for this time.

Li Xuan saw Li Jingye's thoughts, but he couldn't do anything.

At this time, the emperor and the Empress Wu were staring at all the forces that were close to Li Jingye, and anyone who approached would be unlucky.

Li Xuan had to admit that Li Jingye's vision was indeed a little unique.

But unfortunately, no matter how perfect Li Jingye's calculations are, I am afraid that he would never have imagined that Li Xian would make a fatal mistake.

A mistake that no one can undo.

……

Retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan's eyes looked to the left and right, and on the left was the Liu family including father-in-law Liu Yuanlang, uncle Liu Yuanshen, Liu Yuanqi, and Liu Yuanqing; On the right is the Shangshu Provincial Officials under Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen and his subordinates.

After all, Liu Renliang did not break the Tubo, although he recovered most of the Tuyuhun hometown and killed tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry, but after all, it was only a small victory.

Even the prince's outskirts are already beyond courtesy.

As for Baiguan Jiaoying, wait until he destroys Tubo and captures Tubo Zampu and returns to Beijing.

A fast horse came madly from a distance, and the small flag on it waved rapidly.

Li Xuan immediately understood that Liu Renliang was back, and his heart couldn't help but get excited.

This turmoil in Chang'an continues, and it seems that there are plans to become more and more intense, and none of the ministers in the DPRK and China seem to be able to suppress the situation.

Liu Renliang returned to the court, and the hearts of the people in the court and Li Xuan's heart settled down in an instant.

……

"Left Phase!" Li Xian bowed his hand to Liu Renliang who got off the horse, Liu Renliang immediately supported Li Xian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is ashamed of the old minister." ”

"Left side should be." Li Xian smiled, stood up, and then reached out and invited Liu Renliang into his prince's frame.

Li Xuan and Cui Zhiwen glanced at each other, and the two waved their hands to the sides.

In the next moment, the military department and the manpower in the palace had already begun to take over the half-dynasty Luan drive of the generalissimo of the Northwest Road march brought back by Liu Renliang.

At this point, the mission of Liu Renliang, the generalissimo of the Northwest Road March, ended.

The prince drove to Daming Palace with Liu Renliang.

The emperor and queen, as well as the civil and military ministers in the court, are all waiting for Liu Renliang to report on his work.

Li Xuan and Cui Zhiwen rode horses and followed on both sides of the frame, although they couldn't hear the sound coming from inside, but the laughter that sounded from time to time also made people feel happy.

From Xicheng to Daming Palace, and then in Hanyuan Palace, there were no accidents along the way.

Above the main hall, about Li Jingye and Liu Yi, Liu Renliang unexpectedly did not mention half a sentence at all.

just in front of the ministers, he described in detail the details of the war in Qinghai for most of the year.

Li Xuan also heard his own evaluation of this battle from another angle.

Liu Renliang was very restrained Li Xuan's edge, and he brushed over many things.

Under his words, Li Xuan is just a talented general.

Compared with Li Duozuo, Hei Tooth Changzhi and Wang Xiaojie and others, it is much worse.

This made Li Xuan really relieved.

From the first battle of Xinghai, Liu Renliang deliberately asked Li Xuan to restrain his edge and avoid being jealous of too many people.

The battle merit roster was included in the military department, and it would not be long before the meritorious rewards for more than one year would be issued.

In the same way, preparations for next year's operation will begin.

Liu Renliang stepped down and took over next year, the coach of the army, which is the core that will determine next year's victory.

……

The emperor gave a banquet and spoke alone.

By the time Liu Renliang left the palace, the sky was already a little dark.

got into his carriage, Liu Renliang left all his sons behind and called Li Xuan up alone.

"You're being a little reckless." At the beginning, Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan with a serious face.

"That's what Yue Weng said." Li Xuan nodded approvingly, and said with emotion: "Son-in-law shouldn't have intervened too much in the British public case, resulting in obvious antagonism. ”

"If only you could figure it out." Liu Renliang breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little worried that Li Xuan didn't see his mistake.

After a slight pause, Liu Renliang continued: "You targeted the British Duke this time, and the British Duke is fine, but other courtiers have also begun to alienate you, which will make it doubly difficult for you to do things in the future." ”

Li Xuan nodded, he had risen too much this time, a clan that was too radical was not liked by most courtiers.

It's not about character, it's about position.

"The old man is also at fault, I didn't expect to be exploited by Li Jingye, and this person's means are not weak." Liu Renliang couldn't help but sigh lightly, he didn't have much contact with Li Jingye, but he didn't expect that there was such a crocodile lurking under the water.

If it weren't for Li Xuan's desperate move, then I'm afraid Li Jingye would really let Li Jingye escape punishment.

Li Jingye had only one purpose in escaping punishment, and that was the Battle of Tubo next year.

Li Jingye didn't catch up with this year's war, so he didn't want to miss next year's.

Once Li Jingye is allowed to gain momentum, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The pond was already full of crocodiles, and suddenly a big crocodile rushed in, and everyone would feel their scalps tingle.

Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Actually, it is Your Majesty who really doesn't want Li Jingye to do anything. ”

Liu Renliang bowed silently.

In the final analysis, Li Xuan was just treated by the emperor as a pawn at the forefront.

The person who really wants to press Li Jingye thoroughly is the emperor.

If it weren't for the emperor's obvious inclination, then as long as Li Jingye was allowed to say a word in Hanyuan Palace, then he would not be stripped of all his family property by the emperor and exiled to Liuzhou in disguise, only giving him an illusory hope.

"Next year's war, grain and grass are still tight, and now, it is easier to confiscate the property of the British government into the treasury." Liu Renliang gently spit out the most critical core, Datang is short of money.

Li Jingye came out at this time.

All of a sudden, he was targeted by the emperor, the queen of heaven, and all the prime ministers.

This is also why, in the whole incident, none of the prime ministers helped Li Jingye speak.

Even in the six books, only Pei Yan, a person who has a good relationship with Li Jingye, came out and said half a sentence, but only half a sentence, and the reason is this.

……

"It's still not easy to fight next year." Li Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a low voice: "The thought of going to fight in Wuhai made my son-in-law a little uneasy. ”

The terrain of Wuhai is too high, and the altitude sickness and even the means that Li Xuan did can't bear it, let alone occupy Wuhai steadily.

Liu Renliang smiled lightly and said, "Next year's business, everything is the business of the virtuous son-in-law...... But then again, you've done a really good job in Changzhou. ”

"Grandson-in-law can't help it, there are too many people in Changzhou who want to reach out, instead of letting people intervene indiscriminately, it is better to ask for some people who don't have too much background." Li Xuan sighed helplessly.

The people he asked for from the Empress Wu, Yao Yi's background is much simpler, and the other Sinong Temple, Taifu Temple, Jiang Zuo Supervisor, Dali Temple, etc., are themselves extremely professional and demanding places, and these people have fewer political intentions and are not much related.

In this way, it can also greatly avoid the interference of others.

Similarly, this group of people has little to do with Li Xuan, and they can also reassure Empress Wu and the emperor.

For Li Xuan, it is very important to be loyal to him, and loyalty to Datang can also be used.

As long as he is not loyal to the Empress Wu, he will also use it correctly.

"You're recruiting a team for yourself." Liu Renliang made Li Xuan's intentions clear in one sentence.

These people with no background, once they fall under Li Xuan's hands, will inevitably be deeply branded with his background.

Li Xuan didn't seem to recommend his own manpower here, but they were all selected layer by layer, and all the people who fell into his hands in the end were all his people.

Li Xuan laughed twice, and then said in a low voice: "This matter still needs to be checked by Yue Weng." ”

There must be people who want to do something about this matter, but now that Liu Renliang is back, others have to go through him for whatever they want to do.

The reason why Empress Wu had to talk to Li Xuan about the history of the governor of Changzhou that day was because he didn't want Liu Renliang to speak out against it after returning to the dynasty.

Fortunately, Li Xuan coped with it quite well.

Although he didn't praise Li Yi to Sima, he got Yao Yi, who was Yao Chong's father, and it was definitely worth the fare.

Maybe one day, Li Xuan will be able to bring Yao Chong under his command.

Liu Renliang nodded calmly and said: "If Xinghai is stable, the whole Qinghai will be stable, and there is no need to worry too much about next year's battle." ”

After a slight pause, Liu Renliang said in a deep voice: "It's still the same sentence, next year's battle, what will be the result, it still depends on who is the boss of next year's battle?" ”

Li Xuan nodded seriously.

Whether he can lead the troops next year, what kind of troops he will lead, and in what position will depend on who the commander of next year's war is?

Li Xuan immediately said, "Who does Yue Weng think it will be?" ”

"I'll be back tomorrow, the Ministry of Industry is still in the book, and the Pengcheng County Gong Liu is jueting." Liu Renliang took a light breath and said, "If it were him, although there would be some trouble, the overall situation would be fine." ”

Liu Xianli and the crown prince have a close relationship, so there is some trouble.

"It's not easy." Li Xuan looked up at Liu Renliang.

Empress Wu would not easily let someone close to the crown prince be the commander of the army.

Liu Renliang nodded silently.
