In the early morning, Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, got up and slowly walked towards the door.

At the gate of King Peng's mansion, Liu Jinyu hugged Zhao'er, took Koji Dou'er and Pei Shitong, and the mother concubine Ouyang hugged Xia'er and watched him leave slowly.

I couldn't help it, my eyes were already full of tears.

Li Xuan left home with a calm face, and when he walked out of Kaihuafang, one hundred thousand Niu Wei and one hundred Jin Wuwei had gathered behind him.

On both sides of the long street, there were faint watching eyes falling on him, and he didn't know where it came from.

Li Xuan looked straight ahead, calmly rode a horse, crossed Suzaku Street, and finally walked into the Jinguang Gate of Xicheng.

Under the Jinguang Gate, there are still a few familiar people, Di Renjie, Qin Ming, Lai Sui, Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Yang Jiong.

Li Xuan saluted to everyone gently, then looked at Laisui and asked with concern: "The matter of going to the north has been decided?" ”

"It's going to the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou." Lai Sui sighed lightly and said: "I feel that Chang'an is quite boring in Chang'an, but I am a little reluctant to leave Chang'an. ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "When you arrive in Youzhou, you really feel that Chang'an is nothing serious." Be careful, though. ”

"Yes, I know!" Lai Sui nodded seriously and said, "You are the same." ”

Li Xuan smiled, looked at Di Renjie and said: "Brother Huaiying, the matter of the household department, please keep an eye on it, this year is fine, but next year, there can be no problems along the way in Changzhou." ”

"Rest assured, Huaiying will definitely ensure that the granaries in various places will not be stolen by bandits." Di Renjie solemnly bowed his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Huaiying." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was not worried about petty theft in the place.

What he was really worried about was the Tobe, the DPRK.

Next year, once he enters Tanggula Mountain, and is cut off at this time, then I am afraid that he will only have a dead end left.

Li Xuan turned to look at Qin Ming and said in a low voice, "If there is anything at home, please leave it all to you." ”

"Don't worry, you won't let anyone else find a chance." Qin Ming gave his hand seriously.

Only he knows best how many people have been watching Peng Wangfu whenever Li Xuan is not there in the past few years.

There are many people who can't use the open and dark means, so they want to use those shady means.

Fortunately, the old people of Qin Ming and Jin Wuwei also know a lot.

I don't know how many unjust souls have been thrown into mass graves over the years.

Li Xuan looked up at Yao Chong and asked, "Are you resting today?" ”

"Yes." Yao Chong smiled, and said seriously: "Farewell to the prince in a while, Yuan Zhi will return to Luoyang immediately." ”

Li Xuan arched his hand, thought about it, and said: "Usually be cautious, distinguish responsibilities, and don't touch things that you shouldn't touch." ”

"Yuan Zhi understands." Yao Chong nodded seriously, the wind and rain in the middle of the court, he could also feel it by Li Xuan's side, it seemed calm now, but under the water, the undercurrent was becoming more and more turbulent.

Song Jing seriously bowed his hand towards Li Xuan: "Guangping has seen the prince." ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said gently: "Take the test well, with your talent, there will definitely be good results." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Song Jing bowed seriously, he could hear the meaning of Li Xuan's words, and his heart relaxed a little.

"Now that the prince is parting, according to our habits, he should write a poem." Yang Jiong smiled and bowed his hand to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said with a smile: "The secluded road outside Jinguang City is far away, and the clouds on the bank of the Weishui River are deep. Relatives and friends in Chang'an asked each other, and a piece of ice was in the jade pot. ”

In the laughter, Li Xuan had already ridden away.

Behind him, a group of Qianniu guards, Jin Wuwei followed closely.

Only five miles away, two hundred black-clad and black-armored left and right guard cavalry had already gathered and rushed towards Weishui.

The people outside the Golden Light Gate couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Up and down the city gate, I don't know how many sensitive eyeliners, and when I saw Li Xuan leaving, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan looked back suddenly, and he faintly felt.

When he left Chang'an, the entire Chang'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

……

In February, the rain was falling.

In the Zichen Palace, the emperor raised his head, looked at the rain outside the hall, and asked sideways, "How is the situation in Changzhou now?" ”

Empress Wu came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The king of Nanchang returned to Xinghai in the middle of last month, first brought a large amount of wine and meat to Maduo and Chengduo, after the front line changed guards, he returned to Xinghai, and began to sort out this year's spring planting, although the grain in Changzhou only accounted for less than thirty percent of this year's army, but in case there is something in the rear, it is also very important. ”

Empress Wu did not say what would happen in the rear, and the emperor did not ask.

Empress Wu continued: "The king of Nanchang went to Fuqi City again to discuss with the Murong clan about sending troops to Xitu Guhun this year, and he said that if he can really succeed in taking Yangtong, then the grain and grass of Xitu Guhun can be transported to Yangtong, although it is not much, but it is enough to relieve the pressure. ”

"Then it is necessary to establish a transportation channel from Kunlun Mountain to Yangtong in Yangtong." Li Zhi nodded lightly.

"That's how he played, and when he got to the place, he checked it out, and if he could build a waterwheel, he would build a waterwheel, and if he couldn't, he would use a horse." Empress Wu explained in a low voice.

Li Zhi nodded lightly, although there is a road between Yangtong and Xituyuhun, the height difference is very large, the slope is very steep, and even the Tubo people only support Xituyuhun from Yangtong, and rarely go up from Xituguhun to Tubo.

"The matter of Changzhou, the king of Nanchang resumed the three-day performance, and the secret guard passed, there is no problem." Wu Hou added.

Three days and one play, this is Li Xuan's earliest appearance in the year, the emperor granted him a privilege.

Now, Li Xuan has returned to what he did back then.

"Twenty-seven Lang still has a number in his heart, and with 30,000 troops in hand, he can't help but be nervous." Li Zhi smiled lightly, and finally reassured.

Left Guard, Right Guard, Right Leading Guard, Right Tun Guard, Left Xiao Guard, Changzhou State Soldiers, Heyuan Guard, more than 30,000 troops in the northwest, in the hands of one person.

Although the emperor trusted Li Xuan and installed countless means in the middle, he was still uneasy.

Now that Li Xuan plays every three days, coupled with the secret guard control, if there is a problem, he can detect it as soon as possible.

"It's spring in a few days, that Song Jing from Nanchang Palace, I've read his article, and I'm still a little insightful."

Li Zhi turned to look at Empress Wu and said, "If he can be lifted and the article can be sent to me, Mei Niang, I want him to be the supervisor of the imperial history, and then with Di Renjie, he will inspect Hebei." ”

"Okay." Empress Wu did not hesitate and responded directly.

"The matter of the household department, the secretary Liu Yuanlang was transferred to the household department to serve as a foreign officer, and he stared at a little bit to transport grain and grass to Changzhou." Li Zhi then instructed again.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded, Di Renjie was in Yushitai, and he was already paying special attention to the grain and grass transported to Changzhou, and now that Di Renjie was going to Hebei, he naturally wanted to find Liu Yuanlang to keep an eye on his behalf.

"The newspapers of the Hebei prefectures are given priority this year, and the Turks are not terrible, but they are afraid that they will collude with the Turks." Li Zhi's expression became awe-inspiring.

In this world, there is never a shortage of villains who only care about their own interests.

Smuggling into the grasslands is not an uncommon thing.

Even at this time, as long as the Turks are willing to pay two or three times the price, there is not much they can bear.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded again, the focus of this year's attention, Luoyang first, is actually Changzhou, then Hebei, and finally the world.

"By the way, what has Jiro been busy with lately?" The Emperor turned sideways to look at Empress Wu.

"Spring Moon." Empress Wu sighed lightly and said: "Since the completion of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Neyan, Ge Xiyuan, Xu Shuya and others have begun to get very close to the younger generation of scholars, often holding banquets, and many people have begun to become famous. ”

The emperor nodded lightly and said gently: "It's always good for their minds to be on this, it's about to be spring, so let San Lang and Shiro also get close to these scholars when they have time, especially the poor disciples, in the current situation, these cold disciples are very useful." ”

"Yes!" Empress Wu smiled slightly and nodded in response.

"What about the Turks?" The emperor's expression became serious, and he asked: "How is the Turks, they have stayed in Chang'an until February, and they still haven't gone back?" ”

"It's not that the ordinary Turkic people in Luoyang, Chang'an, can't go." Empress Wu became a little proud, and said: "A few years ago, the king of Nanchang offered a strategy to let the court pay attention to collecting taxes on the Turkic nobles and big merchants who wanted to return to the grassland, so that their family wealth could not be offset, so they asked for those Turkic chieftains.

These people didn't notice anything wrong at first, and even in order to set an example for them, they almost paid for it, and soon one after another people came to the door......"

"They don't have enough money?" Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Yes." Empress Wu nodded and said: "They first looked for the big merchants in Chang'an City, and used the war horses of the grassland as collateral to get a sum of money out first, but as soon as they finished looking for someone on the front foot, the secret guard on the back foot came to the door." ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi's expression turned cold: "Tell the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, no matter who is behind these merchants, if they collude with the Turks, they will be arrested directly." I can't control Hebei Dao for a while, but Chang'an, whoever dares to stretch out his hand, I want him to stick out his head. ”

"Yes!" Empress Wu bowed slightly.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded.

Outside the hall, an attendant paused, then handed over a secret book.

Wang Fulai walked out of the hall quickly, picked up the secret book and then walked back to the hall, respectfully put the secret book on the table, and slowly retreated.

Li Zhi looked at the case notebook, and then looked at Empress Wu.

Empress Wu bowed slightly, then picked up the secret book, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said, "Donggong Yu, the crown princess is pregnant." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Erlang is in a hurry, I let the king of Nanchang go to the East Palace when he left, but I didn't expect that the king of Nanchang would leave such a way." ”

But it also works.

Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi and said, "After the Spring Festival, visit Luoyang, does the crown princess want to accompany you?" ”

Li Zhi's expression calmed down, nodded and said: "This year's eastern tour, the departure time will be later, and I will go to ...... after the princess has a stable fetus."

"Oooo Before the emperor could finish speaking, another rush of footsteps sounded.

Li Zhi raised his head and frowned.

Wang Fulai had already stepped forward quickly again and sent the secret book of the palace gate.

Empress Wu opened it and looked at it, and then said in surprise: "The British princess Wei is also pregnant." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhi's face was full of surprise, what was going on today, how did it happen one after another.

It was at this time that another sound of footsteps sounded outside the door.

This time, the emperor didn't let Empress Wu look at it again, and shouted directly to Wang Fulai, who had just arrived at the door: "Read it directly." ”

"Yes!" Wang Fulai immediately bowed down and said, "Return, Princess Xiang is pregnant." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

I am blessed.
