The carriage swayed, and the light and shadow flickered.

Under the flickering lantern, a figure had already appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes, dressed in green and lightly, and it was Du Liu.

"Your father left Beijing?" Li Xuan put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at Du Liu, who had just flashed into the car.

"Chenshi has already set off for Jizhou." Du Liu looked at Li Xuan with some doubts, and said, "Father asked the concubine to tell the prince that Hebei is difficult, and he also asks Wuzhou to support him." ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded lightly and said, "It's not difficult, but the people from Jiangnan go to Hebei, it's too eye-catching, it's best to find someone to make a move from Luoyang." ”

"Yes!" Du Liu subconsciously bowed his head, Luoyang is the center of the world, going back and forth from the south to the north, and it is normal to collude with each other.

Luoyang buys from Wuzhou at a low price, and then sells it at a high price in Jizhou, or buys it from Jizhou at a low price, and then sells it at a high price.

The price of origin is low, but if you purchase a large amount, then the profit is definitely not low.

Not to mention that they have gained a lot of money.

The collusion in the middle is very heavy, and the trust in the middle is also very heavy.

Li Xuan glanced at Chang'an City outside, and said in a low voice: "You have gone back to find the children of the Du family, you can be trusted, and someone will naturally look for him in the future." ”

"Yes!" Du Liu bowed his head in response.

"Almost, let's go." Li Xuan looked out the window, just as the carriage drove into a dark shadow, Du Liu jumped down at once.

When the black carriage completely disappeared from sight, Du Liu's frowning brows slowly lowered.

……

The carriage stopped, Li Xuan cleaned up a little, and got out of the carriage.

"Lord Wang." Li Bi stood beside him and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the Xiao family has sent news that Xu Yushi, the head of the household department, has submitted his resignation and asked for Zhishi. ”

As soon as Li Xuan's footsteps stopped, his face suddenly became heavy, and then he eased up again.

Hubu Shangshu Xu Yushi is the uncle of Hao Chujun, Hao Chujun's age is not young, and Xu Yushi is older.

It's a pity that since he was transferred back to the center, he has not had a chance to be a prime minister again.

Hao Chujun will not go down in a few years, and they are afraid that there will be no successor in this lineage.

There is only one Hao Xiangxian, and his ability is not enough.

These have nothing to do with Li Xuan, what he cares about is the household department, the household department of the martial queen......

"As long as it's not Wu Chenghei, no matter who it is, it's acceptable." Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and walked towards the study.

Behind him, Li Zhu took the manuscript that Li Xuan brought back from the East Palace.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, Li Xuan is getting more and more busy.

When the war started in Changzhou next year, although the personnel and materials had already been handed over to the six departments, everything was going well before, but at the end of the year, I couldn't help but slow down.

There is also the battle of the grassland next year, the secret battle between Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian, and Li Xuan will also write a recital to analyze the situation in the grassland.

Li Dan's Jiangnan Province inventory, the editing of the East Palace, Princess Taiping's choice of son-in-law, and Li Xuan's own family are a mess, and they are too busy to touch the ground.

Now there is a matter of Xu Yushi, the secretary of the household department.

……

After thinking about it, Li Xuan had already walked into the study and sat on the short couch, and he began to ponder about this matter.

The household department is the place where the Empress Wu is in charge.

No matter how the Shangshu Shilang above changes, the Langzhong below, the outside Lang, are all the people of the martial arts.

In particular, the degree branch is the core of the core, and the top and bottom are all people after the martial arts.

However, there was a vacancy in the head of the household, and it was impossible for the Empress Wu to transfer Wu Chenghei back.

Because there is no need, since Empress Wu is in control of the household department, it doesn't matter who Shangshu is.

Wu Chengsi is an important chess piece in the hands of Empress Wu, and he has the opportunity to do other books, so he will not necessarily toss in the household.

However, although Wu Chengsi has no chance to be a household secretary now, he may not have the opportunity to serve as other scholars.

Li Xuan has not forgotten that now in the middle of the court, there is also a Huangmen squire, and a Shangshu right servant is vacant.

With a slight transfer, leaving can make room for Wu Chenghe.

Although Li Xuan made a lot of stumbling blocks for Wu Chenghe, the idea of transferring him to the Empress Wu never changed.

Li Xuan saw it very thoroughly, and the Empress Wu wanted to install one of her relatives among the prime ministers.

Therefore, although Li Xuan moved Wu Chenghei several times, he never completely knocked him down, but only dragged him for several years.

It also did not arouse the alarm of the Empress Wu.

After all, in addition to Wu Chenghei, there are also Wu Sansi, and other clansmen of the Wu clan.

Wu Chengji wants to die, but not now.

It was better for him to die before the emperor.

It's just that now, do you want to send Wu Chenghei up?

Give!

Li Xuan stood up suddenly, at this time, Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian were competing for the position of prime minister, if a Wu Chengsi appeared, he would copy the bottom of the two......

The cold wind suddenly blew in, but it quickly disappeared, and Li Xuan looked up and saw Liu Jinyu walking in.

A bowl of lotus seed soup was already on the table.

Li Xuan moved out of the way slightly, and Liu Jinyu sat down.

Looking at the draft of the concert in front of him, Liu Jinyu asked curiously: "The husband is still busy with the affairs of the grassland. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, put the fold in front of Liu Jinyu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "The matter of the grassland, it is easy to say, and it is difficult to say. ”

"Husband, please elaborate." Liu Jinyu gently picked up the lotus seed soup and sent it to Li Xuan's mouth, Li Xuan took a bite, and then said in a low voice: "The grassland is vast, the Turkic cavalry comes and goes like the wind, it is not easy to completely catch them, once the war starts, as long as the Turks escape, then this battle will be delayed for a long time." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu nodded seriously.

Once the war is prolonged, the military expenses will flow like water.

"So, we have to find a way to get hold of them, such as pastures, such as water sources." With a slight groan, Li Xuan said: "But in summer, the grasslands are full of grasslands, and there is grass and water, so the decisive battle on the grassland is not easy, and winter is the best time for the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Turks." ”

"It's like the battle of the Patriotic Emperor to destroy the Eastern Turks." Liu Jinyu suddenly understood.

The Turks could not escape because of the pasture and water source, and once they were caught by the Tang Dynasty, it was immediately a ferocious blow.

"This winter's grassland battle, although it looks lively, but they are just looking for the necessary flaws and weaknesses, Wenxi County Gong is even better, I want to come next winter, I can see Ashina Wenfu's head in Chang'an." Li Xuan sighed softly.

Today's Datang, the only general who can really be seen by Li Xuan is Pei Xingjian.

Finally Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui has no shortage of means, but he is old, and although his wisdom is becoming more and more abundant, he can't move to kill.

"Why, does the husband think that the battle of the grassland will not end so easily?" Liu Jinyu suddenly understood Li Xuan's subtext.

"Ashina Wen Fu is just a person who was pushed to the foreground by the 24 Grassland Departments, unless all the 24 Grassland Chiefs are killed, otherwise, the matter of the Grassland will never be over." Li Xuan shook his head slightly.

"Then kill all the twenty-four chiefs of the grassland." Liu Jinyu whispered, and then, Li Xuan shook his head with a solemn face.

"If this is the case, there will be a deep enmity between Datang and the grassland, and in the future, Datang will no longer have the opportunity to unify the grassland." Li Xuan immediately smiled and said, "I hope that no one in the DPRK will be so stupid." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan and asked in a low voice, "What does the husband think he should do?" ”

"Immigration." Li Xuan took the manuscript of the chapter in front of him, looked at the text on it and said: "There are many people in Hebei, and some of them have moved to the grassland, in the past, it was the grassland that moved the grassland inward, and the people have never been moved out......"

"My husband is wrong." Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "In the Han Dynasty, there was the construction of Han City on the grassland, but later all the cities were broken by the grassland tribes, and all the people inside became slaves of the grassland people, and the end was extremely miserable. ”

"What the husband understands, why doesn't the husband understand." Li Xuan put down the chapter and said in a low voice: "But that's because the ambition is too small, it is often enough to build one or two cities, if you build him eighteen cities, around a circle, millions of people, how to break the grassland, I have more, I have less, I have more, I have less." ”

……

In the dark, Liu Jinyu leaned on Li Xuan's arms, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Husband, who do you think will be the next Hubu Shangshu?" ”

"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head directly and said, "Now there are two squires in the household department, one is Wang Dezhen, the former palace supervisor, and the other is Shi Doulu Qinwang, the former prime minister's palace. ”

"Doulu Qinwang is the new appoint, Wang Dezhen has a chance." Liu Jinyu nodded slightly, and then she raised her head again and asked, "So what does my husband think, does my uncle have a chance?" ”

Ouyang Tong, Wei Wei Siqing.

"No, my uncle has been a Weiwei Siqing for almost five years, although it is time to be promoted, but His Majesty will not let him be the secretary of the household department, don't forget, my father-in-law is still working as a foreigner in the household department, if my uncle is transferred to the household department, what will happen." Li Xuan couldn't help but shake her head.

Liu Yuanlang was transferred to the household department at the beginning of the year, and after a slight promotion, he was the household department.

There is a Hubu Shangshu above, and a Hubu Langzhong below, I am afraid that even the rights of the Empress Wu will be challenged.

Li Xuan can use Liu Yuanlang to spy on the composition of the household department, but if the emperor transfers Ouyang Tong to the head of the household department, then Li Xuan's power will increase greatly, and the threat to the Empress Wu will also be greatly increased, and the same will be true for Li Xian.

This also means that once Ouyang Tong is transferred to the head of the household department, then after Li Xian ascends the throne, Li Xuan will be transferred out of Luo Qi.

"So what position does my uncle think my uncle will transfer?" Liu Jinyu's curiosity suddenly rose.

Li Xuan pondered carefully, and finally said: "Huang Rensu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Boying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are both new and will not be transferred in the short term, so the rest are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of War. ”

"Therefore, when Wenxi County Gong and Pei Shangshu were staring at the position of prime minister, there were also countless people staring at the position under their butts." Liu Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"But it's not easy." Li Xuan hugged Liu Jinyu's smooth shoulders into his arms and said softly: "With a husband, it is easy for my uncle to be the secretary of the criminal department, but it is difficult for the secretary of the military department." ”

"No, maybe it's better." Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Xuan and said softly: "If the Duke of Wenxi County really comes down from the Ministry of War, then it will be difficult for anyone to sit in this position, even if it is the Duke of Pingyuan, the uncle's qualifications are not enough, but with the military exploits of the husband, it may be possible." ”

"He uses his husband to suppress others, but in turn he uses his uncle to suppress his husband." A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Xuan's mind, and he immediately figured out the key.

"As for the prince of Pingyuan County," Liu Jinyu paused slightly, and said in a low voice: "The daughter of the Gao family is about to become the crown princess, not everyone can be like the prince of Wenxi County, when the daughter of his clan is the crown princess, she can also be the secretary of the military department, and even there is a criminal department secretary and a Zongzheng Siqing at home." ”

"Yes, the Pei family is too strong." Li Xuan sighed softly, and then said: "Don't care about everything else, when you go home for the New Year this time, the lady remembers to help her father-in-law bring more supplements, and next year I will have to trouble my father-in-law to help keep an eye on the household department." ”

"Hmm!"

"In addition, if the lady has time, she might as well go home and take a walk, there are some things that the father-in-law doesn't understand, and he won't necessarily ask the father-in-law." Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu deeply.

"The concubine understands." Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, and then softly squeezed into Li Xuan's arms.
