"The power in this world has always belonged to only one person, and that is Your Majesty." Zhang Daan picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Obviously drinking tea, he drank a feeling of wine.

Drunk, countless thoughts in my heart can't help but go up.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was sitting calmly opposite, Zhang Da'an sneered and said: "In recent years, Your Majesty's health has been very good, and there have been basically no problems. ”

Li Shimin is fifty years old, and Li Yuan is seventy years old.

Now Li Zhi is fifty years old, as long as the end of this year passes, then his lifespan will exceed that of Li Shimin.

surpassed Li Shimin and approached Li Yuan.

In other words, Li Zhi will have the illusion that he will think that he still has twenty years.

Once the concept of time changes, the perception of many things also changes.

Power, and it won't be so decentralized.

Li Xuan suddenly had a feeling that as soon as the emperor's birthday passed, Li Xian's position as the crown prince might become more and more difficult to secure.

However, once Li Xian is deposed as the crown prince, I am afraid that Empress Wu will also be restrained for a period of time.

The emperor will step up and grasp more power.

Even the Empress Wu had to be suppressed for several years.

But when the time comes, Li Xuan will not be much better.

"As long as the prince is stable, does not rush forward, and even gives a little more power, this will be more stable, but if he really has any other thoughts, I am afraid that he will encounter accidents immediately."

Zhang Da'an couldn't help but shake his head, looked at Li Xuan and said, "This is also the reason why the lower officials are willing to come to Changzhou and serve in the border state together with the prince." ”

Li Xuan lifted the teapot, put a piece of hot charcoal into it, calmly looked at the rising sparks, and said lightly: "The prince is not the kind of patient person, but this king is, firm Changzhou, enter and occupy Tibet, and devote his life to the land of the Western Regions, away from the center, you can survive the world in peace." ”

"Xia Guan hopes to do the same." Zhang Da'an nodded and said sincerely: "So the lower official arrived in Changzhou, hoping to avoid the turmoil in the court with the prince." ”

Although they said that, Li Xuan and Zhang Daan both knew in their hearts that things were not so easy.

The central storm, especially when it comes to the struggle for succession, and even the change of power, is most likely to affect everyone.

Everyone is just in the same boat, holding each other together to withstand the coming wind and rain.

Zhang Da'an's words finally completely broke the layer of window paper between the two.

After Li Xuan arrived in Changzhou, he controlled them, and even cut off their communication with Chang'an, in order to use this to open up trust with Zhang Da'an.

Zhang Da'an is now the governor of Changzhou, so he is likely to be the governor of Nanchang in the future.

When Li Xuan was in Chang'an, he had already smelled the emperor's plan.

The emperor attaches great importance to it, but it is also mixed with temptation and control.

Zhang Da'andong Palace's left concubine, only one step away from being the prime minister.

Such a person, if Li Xuan really has any ambitions, he will definitely not be able to win over.

Even if Li Xuan really had any other ideas, Zhang Da'an would be the first person he needed to deal with.

The emperor is equivalent to putting a shield between Changzhou and Chang'an that can monitor, control, and even warn.

Li Xuan took this shield.

……

Raising the teacup, Li Xuan and Zhang Da'an touched it lightly, and then the two drank it all at the same time.

Putting down the wine glasses, the two glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the relaxation in each other's eyes.

"Gong Zhang, the prince wants to be quiet, but the most important thing to solve at the moment is the problem of Ming Chongyan." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked up at Zhang Da'an and asked, "Zhang Gong thinks, is he really dead?" ”

Zhang Da'an shook his head slightly and said, "If you put it in the past, Ming Shiyin has never been missing for such a long time, it's hard to say that he didn't have an accident." ”

"But......" Li Xuan heard Zhang Da'an's last note.

Zhang Da'an nodded and said: "The situation is sensitive now, since the Duke of Pengcheng County and the Duke of Zhao Guogong entered the political hall, the conflict between the Queen of Heaven and the crown prince has become bigger and bigger, and even before the abolition.

If the queen of heaven is really determined to abolish the crown prince, then you must be vigilant in all aspects, including the prince. ”

"So, if Ming Chongyan hadn't died, he should have come towards this king." Li Xuan nodded approvingly.

"Then from today onwards, the entire Changzhou, including all the detention states, will make people deliberately look for the traces of Ming Chongyan." Zhang Daan looked at Li Xuan seriously.

Li Xuan nodded in realisation and said, "It should be so." ”

"The prince is going to enter Subi this year, but he has thought of a strategy for entering the army." Zhang Daan looked at Li Xuan seriously.

Li Xuan nodded, knocked on the table, and said: "Although there is little rainstorm on the plateau tonight, there will be much more drizzle than usual on a continuous day, and when it reaches a certain level, it will overflow the original river, so that the water flow is gentle, and it is easy to cross the river, and the problem of the Tongtian River can be solved." ”

Zhang Da'an looked at Li Xuan calmly.

Li Xuan continued: "There are four large and small gold mines in Subi, but there are only two places that are really worth paying attention to, one is the Jiangda mine, which can be killed four hundred miles down the Tongtian River and two hundred miles of mountains and rivers in Gezhou; The other place is the Nangqian mine, which crosses the Tongtian River, Yushu, Ziqu River, and finally kills the Zhaqu River. ”

Li Xuan simply drew the terrain of the two places on the table, and then said: "Wang Xiaojie, the general of the left guard, led all the way, and the Zhonglang of the right guard took Qiu Zhenmu and Cheng Zhongzheng of Heyuan Mansion all the way. ”

"And what about the prince?" Zhang Da'an's breathing became heavy, and he knew that this time it was not so simple to send troops.

"A few months ago, the envoy of the Tibetan State, Zabala, had written a letter to inform the Qinling of the gold mine, and the Qinling must have been prepared and set up traps at this moment, so the two ways of sending troops were mainly tempting." Li Xuan pressed his finger on the Ziqu River, and then said seriously: "But at this time, this king has already led his army to Qamdo. ”

"Ziquhe?" Zhang Da'an looked at the simple graphics and said in disbelief: "The prince plans to kill directly from the Ziqu River to Qamdo in the mountains?" ”

"If it was in the past, it would definitely not work, and the Qinling Tomb would inevitably arrange a large number of interceptions along the way, but this year is different, this year there is a lot of rain, the river level is high, and the flow rate is fast." Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "If this king goes straight to Qamdo, then Tubo will definitely be shaken, and if you want to return to the army, whether to ambush and intercept at that time, or go straight to the key point, is the choice of Wang Xiaojie and Qiu Zhenmu." ”

"This plan sounds feasible, but there is only one problem, how will the prince return from Qamdo, I'm afraid this ship can't be used a second time, right?" Zhang Daan shook his head slightly at Li Xuan, if this problem was not solved, he would not agree to Li Xuan's dispatch of troops.

"There are three ways back." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Da'an's shocked look, shook his head calmly, and said: "The most difficult one, continue to go down by boat from Qamdo, enter the Canglan River, and finally land at Batang and join the Jiannan Dao army,"

"Then this journey is at least thousands of miles, so that the prince can come back again, if it is at this time on Qinling to kill Changzhou, what should I do?" Zhang Da'an shook his head in disbelief.

"Therefore, this road is a suspicious strategy." Li Xuan's gaze looked at the southeast of Qamdo, and said softly: "After arriving in Qamdo, go around the northeast, go straight to the back of Jiangda Mine, and finally return to Wang Xiaojie to converge and return to Maduo." ”

"The mountain roads are rough and the risks increase." Zhang Daan still couldn't help but shake his head.

"The rest is the last way." Li Xuan's eyes fell on the west side of Qamdo, and he said softly: "Go up from Qamdo, kill to Tanggula Pass, and then go to the upper reaches of the Tongtian River, and return to Maduo by the Tuotuo River." ”

"This road is also very long, and it is full of dangers, if you don't answer it......" Zhang Da'an suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Xuan and said: "The prince wants to capture the Tanggula Pass." ”

"At the very least, it's threatening." Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "If it weren't for the lack of troops, after this king killed in Qamdo, he would not leave again, and he would completely occupy him this year." ”

But there is no way, Tubo needs to recuperate, and Datang also needs to recuperate.

Even if Li Xuan could occupy Subi, he wouldn't be able to hold it.

Even if he abandons his plan to enter the gold mine, it is easy to be cut off by others.

When the time comes, tens of thousands of troops will besiege him, reckless in the mountains, and without logistics, he will have to die the same.

Of course, Li Xuan was not out of the question, but the emperor didn't let him use it.

Li Xuan didn't understand the emperor's thoughts, the emperor was controlling him, don't rush too fast.

The emperor also needs to use Tubo to contain Li Xuan, so he can only come step by step.

"After the departure of the army, Xing Sima needs to lead people and ships to the west, in the area of Yushu Qamdo, when the battle is in full swing, kill to the Tanggula Pass, and then take the king back." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be which way, this king will go depending on the situation, once this king sends troops, then everything in Changzhou will be entrusted to Zhang Gong." ”

Zhang Da'an nodded seriously, the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy.

"Originally, Xuan's hand was intended to be used to completely capture Qamdo next year, but Your Majesty has an order, and we will naturally not give up." Li Xuan's face was solemn.

If the emperor had not suddenly said that he would occupy the gold mines, the year of Changzhou would have been a year of recuperation and recuperation, rather than a year of marching and killing.

"There is another problem, the naval army is insufficient." Zhang Da'an raised a final question.

"The right guard has already transferred 1,000 from Yangzhou Wei to make up for it, and the Changzhou state soldiers also need to temporarily transfer 1,000 Yangzhou Wei, so it is enough." Li Xuan replied softly.

All of a sudden, 2,000 Yangzhou guards and sailors were added to Changzhou, all of which were within Li Xuan's purview.

……

Zhang Da'an breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the prince has already thought it through, then the lower officials don't have much to say, and they will fully cooperate." ”

"Thank you Zhang Gong for that." Li Xuan raised the teacup and touched it lightly with Zhang Da'an.

The two of them used tea as wine and drank the tea in one gulp.

The two of them are the top officials in Changzhou today, and the matter is settled by the two of them, and the others have no room for questioning.

"Finally, there is one more thing, Your Majesty's fiftieth birthday." Zhang Da'an looked up at Li Xuan and said, "Although the prince has a good plan, he will not be able to return from Subi by then...... Therefore, you need to prepare a congratulatory gift for Your Majesty in advance, the prince has thought clearly, what to prepare? ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes...... First of all, there are 100 fish from the Tianhe River, 100 fish from Baihai, and it is best that all 200 fish can be sent to Luoyang alive. ”

"At least four hundred fish will be prepared for the trip." Zhang Da'an was a little surprised at how generous Li Xuan was.

Two hundred river source fish, over 2,000 miles, sent to Chang'an alive, I am afraid that the whole Chang'an will boil.

"In addition, prepare another fifty boxes of various rare medicinal materials, and send them all to Chang'an." Li Xuan was once again in a state of flux.

"This is not difficult, good medicinal materials, one plant can be put in a box." Zhang Da'an knows how to operate.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and then said: "Finally, it is the local Dangxiang people, Your Majesty's fiftieth birthday, these local leaders will also offer congratulatory gifts, especially since they have just returned from Chang'an, and their sons are still studying in Chang'an." ”

"Good." Zhang Da'an nodded, and finally said: "Finally, the prince can write a congratulatory poem and send it to Luoyang." ”

"That's as it should be." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a cautious face: "Those fish, you can't let anyone do anything, this year's Your Majesty's birthday, it's not that simple." ”

Zhang Daan bowed slightly: "Yes, it's not that simple." ”
