In the Zichen Palace, Empress Wu looked at the emperor and asked in a low voice: "Then the commander of this battle will be the Duke of Pengcheng County." ”

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, and said: "Although it is a matter of early determination to be the Duke of Pengcheng County, I always feel that it is not appropriate, especially after today, I feel that it cannot be so. ”

Empress Wu bowed her head and sighed softly in her heart.

Everyone thought that she launched Xue Rengui to compete with Liu Xianli, but in fact, the person who really didn't want Liu Xianli to be the commander of the Western Expedition was the emperor.

"If Liu Qing is allowed to be the head of the Northwest Dao march, then what about Xue Qing, when he appears in the Northwest Dao, will he be allowed to live under Liu Qing?" Li Zhi asked a very realistic rhetorical question.

Liu Xianli is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but Xue Rengui is also the governor of Daizhou, although he has no military position now, his prestige in the army is definitely not inferior to that of any general.

Because he was originally the general of the right guard.

If it is said that it is a royal family, or the prime minister can naturally suppress him, but Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is not good.

"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi with a cautious gaze.

"First seal the Pengcheng County Duke as the head of the Northwest Road march, and lead the army forward." Li Zhi breathed slowly, thought about it and said: "Then transfer a prime minister over and serve as the chief of the march of the Northwest Road, and finally, transfer the Pingyang County Gong to the post of the head of the march of the Luosa Road, so that even if you guess something, it will be difficult to deal with it." ”

"It's just that, Your Majesty, then the armies of the Northwest Dao will also be chaotic." Empress Wu quickly raised the issue here.

"No, it won't." Li Zhi shook his head directly and said: "The official position of Pengcheng County is to build a camp in Dafeichuan first, and then build a camp on Majishan Road, Kuhai, and Wuhai to build a camp.

The striker used Yan Guogong Li Jinxing, and Wang Xiaojie, Heiya Changzhi, and Li Duozuo were all transferred to his command.

The king of Nanchang redeployed grain and grass for the back road, and at the same time repaired the Dafeichuan and Maji camps to ensure that the front-line army could retreat safely if it was really dangerous.

Once the army withdrew to Dafeichuan, the Pengcheng County Gong was in charge of the grain road camp, and the Pingyang County Gong was in charge of the battle.

The queen of Nanchang retreated, and was the vanguard of the march chief of the Northwest Road, supporting the outflanking. ”

In the early stage, Liu Xianli rushed forward, Li Xuan followed, and Xue Rengui lurked.

In the later period, Liu Xianli retreated, Xue Rengui stood out, and Li Xuan retreated to support the army.

With Li Xuan's department as the interval, the responsibilities of each department are clearly divided.

……

Li Zhi took a light breath, shook his head, and said: "All of this is a layout that Wuhai can't hold onto, if Wuhai can hold it, then everything else will naturally be suspended...... As for those camps, in the future, they can be expanded into cities. ”

"Your Majesty thinks long-term." Empress Wu nodded, what Li Zhi said was to improve Li Xuan's plan.

"As for the early stage, it will be up to the Pengcheng County Public." Li Zhi's expression was solemn, it was not realistic to attack Tibet before this spring.

The reason why Li Xuan's plan was able to impress Li Zhi was because by fighting in Dafeichuan, he was not only able to wash away the shame of the year, but also to kill the Tubo people as much as possible in Dafeichuan.

In a big battle, at least 100,000 troops must be mobilized in Qinling.

As long as all these 100,000 troops are eaten, then it is equivalent to an emptiness in the rear of Tibet.

After that, the army only needs to cover up, and it will be able to occupy countless territories in no time.

The main goal is to kill the living power of the Tibetans.

Although Li Zhi couldn't say this, he could understand the truth.

"With the prime minister as the general manager of the Northwest Road march, when the Pingyang County Gong and the Pengcheng County Gong were in Dafeichuan, the contradiction between the two was suppressed." Empress Wu raised her head and looked at Li Zhi: "Although Your Majesty's idea is good, whoever you choose, you can't let Zuo Xiang go again." ”

Li Zhi took a deep breath and said softly, "I am ready to re-appoint a Zhongshu Order. ”

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty really doesn't worry about Hao Xiang, didn't the king of Nanchang say ......"

"If you want to put down half of government affairs, you should find someone to help." Li Zhi smiled slightly bitterly and said: "According to the system, there should have been two Zhongshu orders, but I have always put heavy pressure on Hao Xiang's shoulders, so if something happens this time, it can be regarded as exposing the hidden danger in advance, or not." ”

"Then who does Your Majesty want to transfer?" Empress Wu's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Li Xuan smiled gently, touched the back of the martial queen's hand, and said softly: "First with Li Jingxuan as the middle secretary, inspect the military department of the school, and then serve as the head of the Northwest Road march, after Li Jingxuan left the court, Dou Xuande was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, and Xu Yu Shi returned to the dynasty to replace Dou Xuande as the secretary of the household department. ”

Empress Wu paused slightly, Li Jingxuan is a person from the ancestral house of the Li family in Zhao County, he is a good old man, and he has no special target.

Dou Xuande is a relative of Li Dan, and he was transferred to the upper half of the official department, but with his ability, he is afraid that the next step will be the prime minister.

Xu Yushi is Hao Chujun's uncle, and transferring him back can be regarded as a comfort to the old minister.

What's more, Xu Yushi used to be a servant, although he made mistakes back then, but now he has made great achievements in governing the place, and he has been transferred back to the past.

Moreover, Xu Yushi once had the heart to take refuge in the Empress Wu, which is not impossible.

The transfer of these three people seems to be extremely beneficial to Empress Wu.

The crown prince's focus is now on the emperor's eldest grandson and Liu Xianli, although Liu Xianli is in charge of military power, but there are Xue Rengui and Li Jingxuan to check and balance.

Xue Rengui was a person who could be trusted by both the Empress Wu and the Emperor, so that Liu Xianli's threat was minimized.

The most important thing is that there is also the king of Nanchang as a buffer, and even once the battle situation changes, the king of Nanchang can take over the military power to avoid the collapse of the situation.

But although the king of Nanchang took over the military power, he was surrounded by Liu Xianli, Xue Rengui and Li Jingxuan, and his threat was almost negligible.

In this layout, the power of the Empress Wu was increased by half a level, and Liu Xianli, who was in charge of the military power of the crown prince, was also raised by half a level.

Both of them have entered, so naturally someone will be damaged, and this person is the emperor.

But is that really the case?

Li Jingxuan, good sir, the emperor opened his mouth, and he would not refuse at all.

Dou Xuande put aside Li Dan's layer, and he is also the emperor's uncle.

Xu Yushi used to be a close confidant of the emperor, and now although he has the intention of defecting to Empress Wu, he is Hao Chujun's uncle after all, and it is difficult to change his position.

Xue Rengui was loyal to both Empress Wu and the emperor, but he was more loyal to the emperor, after all, he was too heavy from the hands of the first emperor.

As for Liu Xianli, he is just leaning towards the crown prince, but fundamentally, he is still loyal to the emperor.

Not to mention, there is also the king of Nanchang.

Now the emperor seems to have his power impaired, but as long as he moves a pawn in the future, the situation will immediately return to his control.

"Your Majesty is brilliant." Empress Wu couldn't help but sigh lightly, but although she saw through it, she could only accept it.

Li Zhi smiled lightly.

The way of balancing power is an instinct that every emperor must learn.

Li Zhi has been immersed in it for decades, and his methods have reached the point of being superb.

Now it seems that all parties have gained, and naturally some people have suffered.

If everything goes well, then this damaged person will be on the Qinling Tomb and Tibet.

"I hope everything will satisfy me this year." Li Zhi raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the hall.

The starry sky is gorgeous.

……

Li Xuan rode a horse and slowly entered the Kaihua Workshop.

Raising his head and looking at the gorgeous and deep night sky, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, Ming Chong is so clever!

used Hao Chujun to fall, in exchange for the increase in Empress Wu's control of the court situation, which is really extraordinary.

But the risk in this is not small, if the emperor knows that he will do something to Zuo Xiang, then he will kill him immediately.

However, Ming Chongyan used extremely ingenious means to put all the blame on the treasure king of Goguryeo.

That unlucky guy may have really had the intention of creating a country, but he had long been detected by the secret guards, and now he exploded with the help of Li Xuan's hand.

In the future, his life will be sad, and the next life that can be saved is his luck.

And Li Xuan, who saw through all this, couldn't say this to the emperor at all.

Ming Chongyan attacked Hao Xiang, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he was likely to become the Empress Wu against Hao Xiang.

If that's the case, then the whole situation will be ups and downs.

Empress Wu was surrounded by the emperor's people, and the emperor was also surrounded by Empress Wu's people.

As soon as Li Xuan said this, it was likely that it was not Empress Wu or Ming Chongyan who died, but himself.

Shangguanyi, the prime minister of the year, used the life of his family to set an example for future generations.

If Li Xuan didn't know that Ming Chongyan had gone to the Yeting Palace, I am afraid that he would also think that all this came from the instructions of the Empress Wu.

Even at a certain moment, the emperor, Hao Xiang, and Liu Renliang all thought so, which showed that the situation was critical.

Now the truth of this matter is probably only left to Li Xuan's stomach.

Unless...... The Emperor could see through the ambiguities in his recitals, otherwise he really couldn't say anything about it.

Li Xuan turned over and dismounted and walked towards King Peng's mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Zang had already lowered his body and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the prince of Pingyang County has arrived." ”

"Oh!" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and was extremely surprised in his heart, how could it be him.

Li Xuan thought in his heart that if at this time, anyone could come to him to ask him about the truth of Hao Chujun's case, then this person must be the most trusted person in the emperor's heart.

And this person is enough to avoid the sight of the Empress Wu.

There are very few such people.

Li Xuan thought about many people, but he really didn't think about Xue Rengui.

Thinking about it now, Xue Rengui has a life-saving grace for both the Empress Wu and the emperor, so he can continue to maintain a little objectivity in dealing with matters between the two.

This objectivity is important.

And not only that, Xue Rengui failed to compete for the position of the commander of the Northwest Road March, so he naturally had to return to Daizhou in the near future.

When His Majesty resigned, the emperor waved away his attendants and said something close to Xue Rengui, I am afraid that even the Empress Wu will not be suspicious.

This candidate is really good.

Li Xuan packed up her emotions and strode into the main hall.

Seeing that Princess Peng Ouyang was smiling and saying something to Xue Rengui, when she saw Li Xuan go home, Xue Rengui immediately stood up and said to Li Xuan: "I've seen the prince." ”

Li Xuan hurriedly returned the salute: "I have seen the county prince, and the county prince is here today......

"There's something to ask about the front." Xue Rengui gave a reasonable excuse.

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Ouyang and said, "Mother, let Steward Su take the county prince to the study first, and the son will go back to change his clothes, wash up a little, and then discuss with the county prince." ”

"Good!" Ouyang nodded.

"Then Xue will wait in the study." Xue Rengui nodded calmly.

……

Walking into the East Cross Courtyard, Li Xuan spoke calmly and said, "Separate all the eyeliners at home." ”

"Yes!" Li Bi fought out from the shadow of the tree, and then retreated.

Li Xuan took a light breath.

Today's words can't be heard by Ming Chongyan.

If you want to kill someone, how can you let him hear it himself.
