In front of the Qianyuan Palace, Li Zhi was dressed in a dragon robe of Nine Dragons and Nine Chapters, standing in front of the palace gate, looking at Chengtian Gate with a solemn face.

The emperor's car slowly passed through the Chengtian Gate and came towards His Royal Highness Qianyuan.

The guards and palace people around all bowed their heads and bowed.

Empress Wu is not in the Qianyuan Hall today, but prepares meals in the apse by herself, she is the only person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can understand why the emperor received Princess Wencheng so ceremoniously.

The demise of Tibet, starting today, officially begins to write the end of the chapter.

The return of Princess Wencheng will be capitalized and close-up in the history books.

After that, it was the lord of Tubo who caught him in Chang'an and danced in front of him.

To follow the Taizong Dynasty, the story of Jieli.

After that, the emperor would go to Zhaoling in person to worship the first emperor.

Tell the emperor that the royal daughter he was forced to send out, today, his son welcomed back.

In fact, it is still the same as his son Lao Tzu, but Li Zhi has never been tired of playing, and even every time he does this, he has a special excitement.

……

The emperor's car finally stopped in front of the Qianyuan Palace.

Li Xian immediately jumped into the carriage, put the carriage bench, and finally helped Princess Wencheng out of the carriage with his own hands, and helped her to the bottom of the golden steps.

Someone on the side had already laid down the futon.

Princess Wencheng, who was sixty years old, stepped forward and knelt down under the golden steps.

Li Xian bowed slightly to the emperor, and then stepped back.

"Minister, Princess Wencheng Li Yan, meet my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Princess Wencheng knelt down in a deep bow.

For a time, the world was silent, clear and awe-inspiring.

The surrounding ministers stood on both sides, looking at them calmly.

Although it was the first time that many people knew the name of Princess Wencheng, it did not prevent them from respecting this woman.

Over the years, Datang didn't know how many people who went to Tibet had directly or indirectly accepted the help of Princess Wencheng.

A lot of information about Tibet was also sent back by Princess Wencheng, either openly or secretly.

Li Zhi looked emotional, nodded slightly, and turned to look to the side.

Wang Fulai stepped forward, bowed his hand to the emperor, and then took out the holy decree from the hand of the attendant on one side.

The holy decree unfolded, and Wang Fulai read aloud: "But in the second year of the dew, the year Gengchen, the second day of August, and the twenty-third day of Xinsi, the emperor said:

Yu play!

There are the daughters of the first emperor, Princess Wencheng Li Yan, Yucui Xianzong, Chu Hui Baowu, Fang Ju Miao Sui, so as to order you.

It is advisable to sparse the grace of Tangyi and the virtue of Mao Gonggong.

The prosperity of ceremonial clothing, far copy of the Han Zhang, is the light pet, forever blessed.

Kewen grew up as a princess, and there were 1,000 households in the city.

Give a mansion of Kaihuafang, a number of gold, silver and jade, a number of maids and palace people, you can enter the palace at any time, there is no prohibition on entering and exiting, and you can do this. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Princess Wencheng knelt on the ground in a heavy manner.

"Flat." Li Zhi raised his head slightly, Princess Wencheng bowed, and then stood up.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace solemnly bowed their hands at the same time: "The ministers and others will see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Wencheng." ”

Graceful and awe-inspiring.

Princess Wencheng was extremely emotional for a while, and then turned to bow to the ministers in the palace.

The ministers returned the salute again, and then stood up with a sincere expression.

The emperor's canonization of Princess Wencheng is okay in front, all of them are canonized according to the etiquette system, only the last item can enter the palace at any time, and there is no prohibition on entering and exiting.

You must know that even if it is the king of the prime minister, even if it is the crown prince, even if it is the princess of Taiping, before the audience, you must hand over the recital.

Princess Wencheng is like this, which means that she can go directly outside the emperor's palace gate, and she only needs to let the inner servant inform her slightly, and she can directly enter the palace to face the saint.

This kind of treatment is unique in the whole world.

It can be seen that the emperor's love for Princess Wencheng is deep.

"The imperial sister can go to the harem first, the queen has already prepared lunch, and later I and the prince, as well as the king and the king, Taiping, will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the imperial sister together." Li Zhi nodded slightly.

Princess Wencheng immediately surrendered her hand: "The minister's decree." ”

Princess Wencheng bowed again, and then walked towards the backyard with the chamberlain.

……

Seeing Princess Wencheng leave, the emperor turned to look down and spoke again: "Cui Ding." ”

Cui Ding stepped forward in surprise and arched his hand: "Minister, Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang will Cui Ding, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever." ”

The emperor showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "You fight on the front line first, and then the eldest princess of the guard has merit, and you are awarded the position of Qingyang County male, General Xuanwei, and the lieutenant of the light car." ”

The male of Qingyang County is a knight from the fifth rank, General Xuanwei is a loose official from the fourth rank, and the captain of the light car is also a knight from the fourth rank.

Titles, Loose Officials, Honors.

The emperor's reward is in place once and for all.

This made Cui Ding extremely happy, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in a deep voice: "The minister bows to thank Your Majesty for your grace, Your Majesty has a long life." ”

"Let's be flat." Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Let's all enter the hall, today, you and I, as well as the ministers of the court, will talk about the front line in detail." ”

"Command!" Cui Ding immediately got up and gave up his hand.

Seeing that the emperor turned around and entered the Hanyuan Palace, Cui Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

Following everyone into the Hanyuan Palace, Cui Ding stood in the middle hall.

The emperor sat on the imperial couch, and the ministers were divided into two shifts, only Cui Ding stood in the center.

The emperor's eyes fell on Cui Ding, and he said: "Since the king of Nanchang attacked the East Pass of Gradan this year, I will listen. ”

"Whoa!" Cui Ding arched his hand and said seriously: "Gradan East Guancheng is high and strong, and it is not easy to Tubo, but fortunately, before the war, the prince has found out some flaws in the city, and then he ordered the ministers to use the text to provoke people, and then ......"

Under the gaze of countless high-ranking officials in the DPRK, Cui Ding slowly told the battle that took place in Tanggula Mountain little by little.

From the "Tubo Wen" to Luo Zhi, Li Xuan and the Qinling began to fight psychologically, and finally the Qinling left Tanggula Mountain with a fluke heart.

In the end, Li Xuan seized the momentary opportunity and attacked the city directly.

A fake fire plunged the entire Gradan Dongguan into smoke and chaos, and then the assassins assassinated him when he returned to the city......

"Assassins?" Li Zhi looked at Cui Ding in some surprise and asked, "How did the assassin stay in the Tubo level for so long without being discovered?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the spies and assassins were all arranged by the Tubo people when they attacked Qamdo last year, taking advantage of the retreat of the Tubo people, these people entered the Tubo very deep at the beginning, and then slowly returned to Tanggula Mountain from the depths of Tubo, and the Tubo people naturally did not suspect the people from their own homes."

Li Zhi nodded abruptly and said, "Three steps ahead, and then two steps back, so that no one will have doubts...... Prince, do you understand? ”

"Erchen understands." Li Xian solemnly bowed his hand, his expression calm.

Li Zhi smiled, he immediately understood that Li Xuan was still the routine of the year.

Every three days, I send a secret recital to the East Palace, and these things are in it.

"You go ahead." The Emperor looked at Cui Ding again.

"Whoa!" Cui Ding arched his hand and said: "After that, the army built military ships, built dams and stored water, and the only thing that happened was the heavy rain and ground movement. ”

"I know about the rainstorm, the summer and autumn in Tibet are redundant, and there is a rainstorm before the autumn harvest, it's not too strange, what's going on with the ground movement?"

The Emperor wanted to ask more clearly, because the question was too big.

Li Xuan has always been good at observing celestial phenomena when it comes to heavy rainfall, so what about earth movement, and he can predict earth movement?

"What the minister knows is not too clear, because when the ground movement occurred, the minister was still in the checkpoint hundreds of miles away, but later checked, the Amdo city wall collapsed in many places, and even killed and injured dozens of people, and the situation was serious."

After a slight pause, Cui Ding arched his hand and said: "The prince has a saying, saying that Tubo is disgusted by heaven, and there will naturally be heavenly punishment." ”

In a word, Heavenly punishment made Li Zhi unable to ask any more.

Even he didn't want to ask again, heavenly punishment was the best excuse he could accept.

Besides, he couldn't ask Li Xuan anything more about this matter.

Because when the ground movement occurred in Amdo Pass, Li Xuan was indeed still a hundred miles away.

As for why the power of ground movement is so small, maybe it really is.

"Go ahead."

"Whoa!" Cui Ding arched his hand and said: "Then take the opportunity to attack the city, and then accumulate the last wave of water, after the opening of the city, the army is divided, and the king of Nanchang uses himself as bait to attract the Tubo army to besiege, and finally the heavy cavalry raids ......"

"Heavy cavalry, I read that the newspaper said that there were 2,000 heavy cavalry, but why did you mobilize 3,000 Zuo Xiaowei?" The Emperor pointed out the ambiguity in one sentence.

Cui Ding arched his hand and said: "It is true that Zuo Xiaowei has 3,000 mobilized, and there are indeed 2,000 heavy cavalry, which is misleading, is that 1,000 light cavalry among Zuo Xiaowei's 3,000 cavalry are wrapped in 2,000 heavy cavalry, so it was mistaken by the Tubo people as 3,000 heavy cavalry." ”

The emperor immediately understood, Li Xuan played a trick here.

Wrapping 1,000 light cavalry with 2,000 heavy cavalry, people subconsciously thought that they were also heavy cavalry and did not dare to attack them, so the light cavalry was used to achieve the role of heavy cavalry.

"What a trick." Li Zhi sighed lightly and said: "At a critical moment, there are not many Datang who can come up with such a commander who can try his best to avoid his own weaknesses, but can give full play to his own advantages." ”

Cui Ding stood there with his hands over, not knowing what to say for a while.

Li Xian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "No matter how strong the commander is, in front of his father, he is also respectful like a chicken who has seen an eagle." ”

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said: "What I said is true, but the front-line commander still has to be a little arrogant." ”

"Yes!" Li Xian gave his hand.

Li Zhi looked at Cui Ding and asked, "Then what about the siege after that?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, after the siege of the city, the king of Nanchang used various means such as cutting off water, food, and aid, and asked the minister to read His Majesty's "Tubo Wen" in public, and then at night, the civilians and slaves in the city were persuaded by the inner line to open the city gate."

Cui Ding arched his hand and said seriously: "The minister took the lead in the city, and the civilians and slaves in the city have been frightened by countless bloody deaths and injuries, and the city has been broken in just six days. ”

"Yes, the king of Nanchang used you, it was used to attack the city, and you repeatedly charged and broke the formation, which shows that he did not see the wrong person." Li Zhi sighed lightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Ding bowed deeply to Li Zhi.

……

Xin Hongzhi was dressed in a purple court robe, standing among the ministers, his gaze slowly drifted from Cui Ding's body, and finally fell on Di Renjie.

But in an instant, Xin Hongzhi took his eyes away.

Di Renjie did learn from him, but he only took his course, and I don't know how many people like him.

Be respectful, Di Renjie calls him a teacher; You're welcome, call him a sacrificial wine, and it's already very face-saving.

Xin Hongzhi didn't say anything to Di Renjie about this matter, he just arranged for a few students from the state to come to tell Di Renjie that the king of Nanchang was suspected of arson.

He believed that Di Renjie would never be indifferent, and sure enough......

"During this period of time in Chang'an, you have a good rest, now it is the end of August, I am afraid that it will be next year when I return to the front line, so I will simply go back next year......" Li Zhi's words were not finished, among the ministers, Di Renjie had already walked out: "Your Majesty." ”

For a while, countless eyes fell on Di Renjie, Xin Hongzhi, Yuan Wanqing, Cui Zhiwen and others, all of whom looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie arched his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister has some questions, and I want to ask General Cui Zhonglang." ”

In a word, the entire hall fell completely silent.
