"Also, Your Majesty, please exchange the order for the Metropolitan Protectorate Li De Award." Liu Renliang solemnly bowed his hand.

The emperor looked up, and Empress Wu frowned.

All the ministers in the hall had solemn faces, and they all looked at Liu Renliang.

No one expected him to slash at the body of the Duke of Weiguo Li De Award for the last time.

Li De Award, the second son of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo.

Li De Award, with ordinary intelligence, no great merit, no great fault, so he was appointed as the governor of the capital alone.

His brother Li Dejian, during the Zhenguan period, was involved in the conspiracy of the crown prince Li Chengqian and was exiled to Wu County.

After the death of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, Li De was awarded the Duke of Weiguo.

"Your Majesty." Liu Renliang stepped forward again and said seriously: "Li Duhu has been in Monan for many years and knows no more about the grassland, but in the same way, the Turks also have a very deep understanding of him, so in order to avoid Li Duhu's accident, it is better to transfer him back." ”

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly relaxed, and even Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, the twenty-four Turkic tribes suddenly arrived in Chang'an, and it was a dereliction of duty for Yu Duhufu to not be aware of it in advance, so it is not an exaggeration to dismiss him.

Even over the years, he was unaware of the changes in the hearts of the Turks.

If you were someone else, I am afraid that you would have been demoted and exiled a long time ago.

But he is Li De Award, the second son of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and the current Duke of Weiguo.

Although the government and the opposition knew that Li Dexuan had no ability, he was the son of Li Jing, and he was in the Shan Yu Duhu Mansion, and he used Li Jing's prestige to suppress the Turks.

As for the interior of the Shan Yu Protectorate, they are all in charge of his subordinates Changshi and others, and they can't complain about him.

Transferring him back now is actually protecting him.

However, the most important thing is that last year, the grandson of the British Duke Li Xuan, the British Duke Li Jingye, had just made a debasement, and fled again this year, and even had actually been killed by Li Xuan.

If at this time, the imperial court restricts Li Jing's son, I am afraid that the army will inevitably be shaken.

"Then let's transfer it back first, transfer the left guard general Xiao Siye to the north, and find out the situation first." Li Zhi nodded, and the ministers arched their hands: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Xiao Siye also served as the governor of the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protector Mansion, but at that time, the Shan Yu Protector was the prime minister Li Dan.

He is the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which is actually the Protector of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and he also has a deep understanding of the grassland, but he doesn't know much about the changes in the grassland situation today.

However, it is enough to find out the situation and deploy it.

"It seems that there is still going to be a war!" Li Zhi's expression became solemn, turned his head to look at Pei Xingjian, and said, "The military department will make a plan for sending troops from now on...... While taking into account the battle of Tibet, we should do a good job in the strategy of dispatching troops to the grassland. ”

Li Zhi's eyes fell on Li Xuan, and seeing that Li Xuan seemed to be a little distracted, he opened his mouth and asked, "King of Nanchang!" ”

"The minister is here!" Li Xuan quickly came back to his senses, and then gave up.

"Do you have any good suggestions for the strategy of sending troops to the grassland?" Li Zhi asked very directly, and everyone's eyes also looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan is an outstanding member of the younger generation in the DPRK and China, and in addition to making repeated military exploits in the conquest of the army, he has also made considerable achievements in the management of local government affairs.

The point is that he is young enough, and young people always have some surprising ideas.

……

In front of everyone's gaze, Li Xuan stood to the left, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Turks are coming together from twenty-four tribes this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to Chang'an to redeem people." ”

"That's right, even if it's a ransom and a demonstration, you don't need the twenty-four chiefs to come together."

Li Zhi knocked lightly on the table and said in a deep voice: "Although I am generous, the temper of the officials and generals of the DPRK and China is not small.

Then there were the Tibetans, who may have wanted me to kill a few more Turks so that the Turks could rebel.

With such a big risk, it doesn't make sense for the tribal chiefs of the twenty-four tribes to come together, aren't they really afraid of me serving a pot. ”

The ministers fell silent for a moment, and the Turkic chieftains of the twenty-four tribes came together, and the biggest purpose should be to demonstrate.

Demonstrate in Chang'an, and then collude with the entire Western Regions to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

After all, now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, every person can take a bite and eat a bowl full of food, and his mouth is full of oil.

Empress Wu looked at Zhao Gong, and Zhao Gong bowed slightly.

"King Nanchang, what do you think?" Li Zhi looked down at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan arched his hand seriously, looked at Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the fundamental purpose of their coming to Chang'an is to pick up people, but this person should be Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana." ”

Ashina Ni Shulu, Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, grandson of Tuli Khan.

Ashina Gana, the general of the right guard, is the grandson of Jieli Khan.

"It turns out that the chiefs of the twenty-four Turkic tribes came to Chang'an to force me to release people." Li Zhi's eyes instantly became fierce,

The chiefs of the 24 Turkic tribes gathered in Chang'an to welcome the grandsons of Tuli and Jieli back to the grassland, and the grassland once again ushered in its prosperity.

Li Zhi had even figured out how to write the history books.

It is no wonder that the chiefs of the twenty-four Turkic tribes were able to come together in unison and take such a big risk.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Turks may not really need any khans to go back and lead them, what they need is probably just a puppet." Li Xuan's soft words instantly extinguished the infinite anger in Li Zhi's heart.

Li Zhi frowned, subconsciously looked at Li Xuan, and then looked at Liu Renliang, Li Jingxuan, Liu Xianli, Pei Xingjian, Li Jingjia and Liu Boying, and everyone nodded in unison.

That's right, no one wants to put a golden hoop on their head.

"So, the Turks, no, more precisely, Ashina Wenfu, all he needs is just a puppet." Li Zhi leaned back slightly, looked at the void in front of him, and said softly: "Even this time, he is just showing his ability to other Turkic chieftains, if it is natural, it is the best, if it fails, he can also blame the Tang Dynasty and arouse the anger of the people." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers gave up their hands at the same time.

That's right, the Turks, no, to be precise, Ashina Wenfu.

What he needs is just a puppet, and he doesn't need to be really Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana.

If Datang clings to these two people, then he will naturally go to the other nearest Ashina bloodlines to be the puppet.

Then the people of the steppe can accept it.

This kind of thing, without anyone else saying more, the ministers in the palace can come up with countless means.

Even a lot of times, it doesn't need to matter that much.

Even the fake one is better.

……

"So what should I do, I can't really let Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana return to the grassland." Li Zhi looked at the ministers.

The purpose of the Turks was to figure it out, but now, it is necessary to think about how to deal with the Turkic conspiracy.

"Your Majesty." Li Jingxuan stood up and arched his hand: "Just now Zuo Xiang said that he could send someone to spy on the Turkic intelligence, since this is the case, then why not place people next to Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana, they should be the ones who know the truth of the Turks best, and bribing the people who infiltrate their surroundings may be able to achieve miraculous results." ”

"In this way, Zhao Guogong is in favor of releasing people." Li Zhi nodded, and then looked at Liu Renliang.

Liu Renliang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the strategy of releasing people is feasible, but the minister thinks that there is no need to let two people go back, just let one person go, and what the Turks want most is probably Ashina Gana, the grandson of Jieli, so we can simply let Ashina Nishu go back and stare at him, and we can stare at the main force of the Turks." ”

"At that time, there is no need for a large army, and a cavalry of 5,000 can directly smash the Yellow Dragon." Pei Xingjian added with a solemn expression.

Li Zhi nodded lightly and said, "Just like the Wei Guogong back then." ”

At that time, Li Jing was a large army that smashed Huanglong, directly captured Jieli, and regarded the entire Turkic army as nothing.

"In this way, as long as you kill Ashina Nishulu, even if he is a puppet, it will be enough to deal a devastating blow to the Turkic morale." Liu Xianli nodded in agreement.

Li Xuan, Li Jingjia, Liu Boying, and even Pei Yan all nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's start preparing." Li Zhi nodded seriously, looked at Liu Renliang and said: "The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, without affecting this year's spring planting and autumn harvest, will do their best to prepare; Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Shuofang, Ganliang, Shasu Zhudao Prefecture Assassin History, county orders, must be vigilant, try their best to explore the movements of the Turks. ”

"Whoa!" Liu Renliang surrendered his order, and the war machine of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks officially began.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" Pei Yan stood up at this time.

Li Zhi looked at Pei Yan in surprise and asked, "Pei Qing, do you have anything else to add?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pei Yan arched his hand and said seriously: "The Turks are here, luring the Luo Turks with money, and forcing the court to release the grandson of the Turks with all the power, but it is not enough to coerce the countries of the Western Regions to oppose the Tang Dynasty with them......

"Straight ahead, what else are they going to do?" Li Zhi's brow was furrowed again.

"It's awesome." Pei Yan arched his hand, looked at the emperor seriously, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if the minister is right, the Turks should still play martial arts with the Tang Dynasty when the Zhengdan Dynasty celebrates." ”

……

When Li Xuan heard this, he looked at Pei Yan in surprise, Pei Yan was right, the Turks were indeed very likely to do this.

There are customs on the grassland, and at a conference, wrestling is indispensable.

The winner can not only win the admiration and applause of everyone, but also get the sword beauty and the war horse, which shows the fierceness of the grassland people.

Of course, Li Zhi also knew such customs, so after Pei Yan finished speaking, he immediately knew that what Pei Yan said would not be wrong.

The Turks were bound to have such calculations.

"The king of Beiping County, Ling and the prince of Guangping County have discussed, Zuo Qianniuwei and Zuo Jinwuwei have each prepared fifty good players, I want to see how many people the Turks are going to send this time." The corners of Li Zhi's mouth brought a sneer, the Turks brought more than two hundred people into Chang'an this time, in addition to guarding safety, they naturally did provocative things.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be one or two killer weapons among his people, please prepare for your majesty to deal with it." Pei Yan gave up again.

Li Zhi nodded lightly, in the grassland wrestling competition, it is always necessary to determine the strongest person, if such a character appears, I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary people can defeat.

"Your Majesty." Pei Xingjian stood up and arched his hand and said: "Since the Turks want to move, I'm afraid they will have their own goals, and maybe it's not a wrestling, and it may even be a weapon duel, a war horse duel." ”

"Who do you think Pei Qing will be targeting?" Li Zhi leaned forward slightly.

At this moment, Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan all turned their heads to look at Li Xuan.

When the other people present saw this scene, they all looked at Li Xuan at the same time.

Li Xuan's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely kill him, congratulations for Your Majesty!" ”

Li Xuan didn't expect others to provoke him.

But think about it, they must not challenge characters like Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui, their target will only be young people.

And Li Xuan is the most famous among the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty, so he doesn't choose who he chooses.

But no matter why others chose him, since others chose him, then he must be ready to pay the price of his life.

"Okay." Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then you will recharge your energy at home in the past few days, don't go anywhere, the Turks really want to do it, and small means are indispensable." ”

"Command!" Li Xuan bowed seriously.

The moment he lowered his body, there was a murderous aura in his eyes.
