The thin ice skin is clear, and the snow is greasy and crispy.

If you want to cover the incense, the red is surging,

……

When she got up in the morning, Li Xuan hugged the delicate beauty who was sleeping soundly on her side into her arms and sniffed the fragrant hair.

It was already a hazy time outside the window, and the sound of the fifth watch drum could be faintly heard.

Li Xuan was lying on the bed, thinking about the situation in the court, and it was rare to be quiet these days.

Without Ming Chongyan stirring up the wind and rain in secret, it seems that everyone has had a good year.

The East Palace, the secret guards, the six departments, the nine temples, the five eunuchs, the Yongzhou Mansion, the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, and countless people in the capital have had a good year peacefully.

But Li Xuan knew that all this was temporary.

As soon as Ming Chongyan died, the entire court was about to usher in earth-shaking changes, but he didn't seem to expect this.

Maybe many people didn't expect Ming Chongyan to die.

As time goes by, more and more people will pay more and more attention to Ming Chongyan.

It will be more and more difficult to kill him.

But only by killing him can we talk about the future.

Li Xuan closed her eyes slightly, and heaven and earth immediately changed perspectives.

Yanshoufang, southwest of the imperial city.

To the east is Taipingfang, and to the west is the West Market.

A black pigeon eagle stood outside the door in the southwest corner of a deep mansion compound, and its fierce gaze fell on the door.

It has been here for a whole night.

Ever since the day before yesterday, it caught a familiar figure flashing in, and it has been staring here.

It didn't have the slightest intention of trespassing, not because this was the mansion of a fourth-grade official from the court, but because it was Ming Chongyan who hid here.

If you want to kill Ming Chongyan, his strange Dao cultivation must be taken into account.

It should not be taken lightly.

The sky is getting brighter.

The door opened, and in the backyard, an ordinary old man opened the cage, and the pigeon eagle entered it without the slightest hesitation.

After the old man packed the cage, he began his usual day, collecting night incense.

The other party's mansion.

In the backyard of the home temple.

Ming Chongyan turned into a temple blessing and cleaned it gently.

……

On the second day of the wedding, the bride returned to the door.

Li Xuan and Koji Dou'er stayed at Koji's house until the afternoon, and Li Xuan took Koji Dou'er directly to the suburban manor.

When a newcomer is getting started, he always has to spend his honeymoon alone.

All the servants of the Koji family who entered King Peng's Mansion with Koji Dou'er were all taken away.

The housekeeper Zhou Sheng had already begun to arrange for his subordinates and servants to be busy, and at the same time he looked at everyone with a pair of cold eyes.

Holding the delicate body of the koji bean, sitting on the swaying canopy boat, Li Xuan looked at Chang'an City in the east, and said softly: "Chang'an is magnificent, the largest city in the world, after going to Changzhou this time, I am afraid that I will only be able to return once after the end of the year in the future." ”

Koji Douer married Li Xuan and was a side concubine.

Liu Jinyu can't go to Changzhou with Li Xuan, but Koji Douer can.

Liu Jinyu took Xia'er and Zhao'er to live in Chang'an, and Qidou'er followed Li Xuan to Changzhou to serve Li Xuan.

"Aya said, marry and obey the husband, where the husband is, the bean will be there." Koji Dou'er leaned on Li Xuan's arms and said softly: "Although Dou'er grew up in Chang'an, my father said that our hometown is Gaochang. ”

Gaochang, the land of Turpan in later generations, is now the location of the Tang Dynasty.

"Gao Chang, does your father-in-law want to go back?" Li Xuan asked softly.

"I've thought about it, but I can't go back." Koji Dou'er is not the kind of girl who is too smart and sensitive, but said honestly: "Gaochang has always been the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the Gaochang royal family is just talking, and my father is not the real heir of Gaochang Kingdom." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, he already knew something about this matter.

Koji Chongyu was the nephew of the last king of Gaochang Kingdom, Koji Zhisheng, who angered the Tang Dynasty and was killed by Hou Junji.

Koji Zhisheng was later included in the Tang Dynasty and was named General Zuo Wuwei and Duke of Jincheng County; Koji Chongyu's father, Ko Zhizhan, was named the general of the right military guard and the prince of Tianshan County.

Lu Chongyu inherited the title of Duke of Tianshan County from his father, and was promoted to the general of the right military guard.

"Gaochang is very close to Shanshan, right?" Li Xuan looked down at the koji bean.

Koji Dou'er still knows a lot about the terrain in that area, and said in a low voice: "Less than a hundred miles." ”

"My father-in-law is stationed in the new city northwest of Delingha, and this year, as long as Dong Tuyuhun can defeat West Tu Gu Hun and fight until Shanshan, my father-in-law can go back." Li Xuan hugged the koji beans tightly.

"My father said that I can't go back, and my grandfather doesn't have that kind of courage." Koji Beans are at home, and they still hear something.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, but the whole route was thinking about it in his mind.

I didn't know who asked Murong Yi to marry Lu Chongyu back then.

If everything went well back then, then Datang could not take the northern route and take the southern route directly, from the east Tuyuhun to the hometown of Changzhou, that is, Xizhou.

That is, where the four towns of Anxi are located.

Through this road, Datang can greatly enhance its control over the four towns of Anxi.

But unfortunately, the plan was very good, but I ran into the Murong clan.

Li Xuan hugged the koji bean tightly and said softly: "If you are okay, you can also go to see your father-in-law on weekdays, anyway, it is not far away." ”

"Hmm!" Koji Douer replied softly.

She is willing to go to Changzhou because her father is also in Changzhou and her husband is also in Changzhou, so Changzhou has her foothold.

Li Xuan lowered his head and pondered.

On the surface, from Changzhou to East Tuyuhun, to West Tuyuhun, and then to Gaochang's hometown, Anxi and Xizhou, everything can be connected, but in fact, one Murong clan is enough for everyone to put away their thoughts.

Not because the Murong clan is too strong, but because the Murong clan is too weak.

It doesn't matter if the Murong clan is weak, but they still have great ambitions.

In this case, who dares to entrust their trust to them, they don't even know how to die.

At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Xuan's mind.

He now suddenly understood why Koji Chongyu was motionless last year.

Murong Clan.

It was because he was worried that the Murong clan would produce a moth, so Lu Chongyu would rather stay motionless and not make meritorious contributions, but also look at the Murong clan, lest they really make any moths, and when the time comes, even he will not be able to clean it up.

So how should Li Xuan arrange everything next.

In the south, we should march into Subi, in the west, we should stare at Tuyuhun, and in the east, we should observe Hezhou and Kuozhou......

He wanted to see how much other people were foreshadowing it.

……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the prince of Nanchang, Li Zhizhao, the prince of Jinchang County, was born in March.

Koji Douer leaned on Liu Jinyu's body, laughed and chatted with Liu Shubi and Liu Qiongyu in a low voice, and Koji Chongyu, who was standing at the back, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Raising his eyes and looking at Li Xuan, who was whispering something to Liu Renliang, Lu Chongyu sighed in his heart, he let Dou'er stay in the palace for more than half a year last year, and it seemed that he was treating him right.

Li Xuan noticed Lu Chongyu's gaze, nodded slightly, and then looked at Liu Renliang and asked: "Yue Weng, the position of Sima in Changzhou, has the DPRK and the Central Committee made a decision, if not, I am afraid that this year's war will be delayed." ”

"It's just a Sima, you are in Changzhou, what are you worried about." Liu Renliang glanced sideways at Li Xuan and asked, "Why do you have someone to transfer?" ”

Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "Yue Weng thinks, how about the right tun Weilang will be the southern torch?" ”

"Right Tun Weilang will be the southern torch?" Liu Renliang thought for a while and said, "Is that the captain who fought on the battlefield in the Shazhu Jade River?" ”

"Now I have accumulated merit and been promoted to a general." Li Xuan said softly: "In the past two years of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there have not been many wars, most of them are on the front line in Changzhou, if you want to go up, you can only go to Changzhou, and again, Changzhou also needs a Sima who can gather the party soldiers." ”

The position of Changzhou Sima is not to compete with the left and right guards and Changzhou state soldiers for troops, but to need Sima who can gather soldiers from the party and the people and condense them into soldiers.

Although there is no need for this, it is a Sima who can only intrigue and fight, snatch the left and right guard forces when he comes, and oppress the party and the people.

If this is really the case, Li Xuan will kill people.

"What Changzhou needs is not a matter of Sima." After a slight pause, Liu Renliang continued: "The DPRK and China plan to establish Heyuan Mansion in Changzhou, Tuyuhun, the party, and all ethnic groups must be unified into it for recuperation and recuperation, and next year will be a big war." ”

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, and immediately understood.

A Sima is only a fifth-grade official, but a Heyuan Mansion, just a Zhichong Duwei has a fourth-grade official.

Not to mention, there are also left and right Guoyi Lieutenants.

Li Xuan said in a low voice: "It seems that Your Majesty really wants to use the power of a state to destroy Tibet!" ”

Li Xuan originally thought of using a Sima to gather 1,000 elite cavalry from the party, but what the emperor wanted was 3,000 elite cavalry.

Of course, there are more than 30,000 households in the party, and tens of thousands of cavalry can be pulled up at any time, but the regular state soldiers belonging to the Tang Dynasty are only 3,000.

There are only 3,000 regular state soldiers in charge of logistics and ordnance supply.

In wartime, all these people can be pulled to the front line to fight, but Datang is not responsible for their logistics, food, grass and ordnance supply, and everything can only be grabbed by them.

"In addition, in addition to Changzhou this year, there are also wars in Xituyuhun, if you can get through Xituyuhun and reach Xizhou directly, then Datang's control over the Western Regions can be strengthened, and the war of Wenxi County Duke in the Western Regions will be over." Liu Renliang said softly.

The war in the Western Regions lasted longer than that in Changzhou, but there was no way, the Western Regions had a wide area, and the matter of grain and grass supply was solved by the Western Regions on its own, and there was no need for the DPRK to intervene.

Li Xuan was just about to continue to say something to Liu Renliang when a voice suddenly sounded outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

Li Xuan suddenly stood up and looked at Liu Renliang with a surprised face.

Liu Renliang frowned and shook his head slightly, he didn't know anything about Li Xian's arrival.

……

Hung a jade statue of the Bodhisattva on Li Zhizhao's body with his own hands, and Li Xian nodded at Liu Jinyu with a gentle expression.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xuan invited Li Xian to sit down, and asked casually, "How can Your Highness use the air today?" ”

"Just by the way, Uncle Wang will accompany Gu for a walk." Li Xian glanced in the direction of the backyard.

Li Xuan comprehended, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, please." ”

Li Xian took the lead in walking towards the backyard, Li Xuan glanced at Liu Renliang, and then quickly followed.

Walking in the cold and lonely backyard, Li Xian was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Uncle Wang has been away from Beijing for a long time this time, I don't know what to teach orphans?" ”

Every time Li Xuan left the center, he would have a conversation with Li Xian, but that kind of conversation was with the emperor's permission.

Li Xuan originally thought that he would only see Li Xian after his resignation tomorrow, but now it seems that Li Xian is in no hurry.

Or rather, the emperor did not arrange for Li Xuan to meet Li Xian tomorrow......

Seeing the small lake in front of him, Li Xuan said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, all affairs in the DPRK and China should still be based on government affairs, but government affairs are only one word in the final analysis, tax." ”

When Li Xuan said this, her face was slightly difficult.

The household department is the place where the Empress Wu is in charge, even if the successive household books are not her people, but the Empress Wu can still firmly control the household department, and the means are terrible.

"Although the household tax statistics are in the hands of the household department in the end, in the final analysis, it is still in the local state and county.

Although Datang is quiet this year, it may not be next year.

It is best for His Highness to go deep into the local prefectures and counties this year to check the number of acres of land registered in each prefecture and county.

There is no need to do more, just compare the number of acres with the number of acres in Wudezhenguan...... The more beneficial it is for His Highness to find out what the problem is, remove the officials, and recover the taxes and grain. ”

Li Xuan's expression was solemn and he bowed slightly.

This was his last policy to Li Xianxian, the last policy before he abolished it.

Whether Li Xian can survive depends on his understanding and implementation of this strategy.

With the understanding and implementation in place, he, the prince, will definitely be able to last for an extra year.

This is Li Xuan's method.
