The winter weather is cold, and the east of Xinghai City.

A group of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry came from the west, led by Li Xuan, who had an indifferent face.

When the surrounding Tuyuhun people saw Li Xuan's return, they immediately knelt on the ground and prayed in a low voice for the protection of the black-clothed Heavenly King.

When the Han people saw Li Xuan, they also took a step back, bowed their hands, and looked admiring.

Wear through the West Gate, enter Xinghai Long Street, and go directly to Changzhou Thorn Mansion.

In the main hall of the mansion, Yao Yi was talking to Yang Zhirou, and when they saw Li Xuan returning, the two immediately got up and greeted him: "Lord Wang." ”

"You may be seated." Li Xuan raised his hand slightly, and a group of black-armored cavalry behind him had already diverted into the compound behind him.

Yang Zhirou looked at this scene cautiously, he knew in his heart that this was Li Xuan's personal soldiers, and no one could say anything, but the combat power of these people was really not weak.

"Why did Brother Yang come over today?" Li Xuan sat down and asked Yang Zhirou as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yang Zhirou turned around and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "Back to the prince, I have been staying in Xinghai for two days, and I don't know when I will continue to set off?" ”

Li Xuan knocked lightly on the table, the table made a crisp sound, and he said slowly: "Brother Yang should understand, now that I am waiting here, I am waiting for news from Tubo, if things go well, then there will be news in the next two days; If things don't go well, then there's no need to mention it; The king's biggest fear is that they will join forces repeatedly. ”

Yang Zhirou's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly gave his hand: "Dashuai, do you have the idea of returning to that song?" ”

"If Naqu fights again, I naturally have to consider going back." Li Xuan waved his hand, his expression heavy.

Yao Yi stood aside and arched his hand: "When my subordinates heard what Yang Yushi said about Tubo, the methods used by the prince are extremely ingenious, and they are aimed at the hearts of the people, and they cooperate with the overall situation of the battlefield, so there should be no repetition." ”

"Ingenious?" Li Xuan suddenly smiled bitterly, pressed his right hand on the table, shook his head, and said: "When I was in that song, I still felt a little referential, but after returning to Changzhou, I still felt that it was insufficient, and the means might be more complete." ”

Yang Zhirou looked surprised and asked, "What does the handsome feel is lacking?" ”

"The Gar family hasn't done enough." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the rare warm winter sun outside, and sighed: "If you can operate more within the Gar family, let them intensify some more conflicts with the Tubo royal family, or let them kill one or two more people from the Tubo royal family, maybe ......."

"The prince is too worried." Yao Yi interrupted Li Xuan, shook his head and said: "It's too much, what the prince did is just right, as for the contradictions between the Gar family and other families, when Qinling was here, he had already done enough, and no one would want to see such a wanton killing family exist, and there would be a chance to ...... it."

Yao Yi looked up at Li Xuan, as if to say that Li Xuan had just given them a chance now.

"Okay, then don't think about it, anyway, there are Wang Shilang and Langya County Duke in front of the army, so you don't need to worry about anything." Li Xuan looked up at Yang Zhirou and said, "If Brother Yang has nothing to do in the past two days, you might as well go to Qugou for a walk, it is much more lively than Xinghai." ”

"Okay." Yang Zhirou nodded and said lightly: "Xiaguan just went to the most prosperous place in Changzhou to have a look." ”

Yang Zhirou knew that Li Xuan had suggested to the DPRK that the Changzhou Assassin Mansion should be placed in Qugou, but the DPRK rejected it and set Changzhou Prefecture in Xinghai.

Today, relying on several salt lakes in the west and jade in the west, Qugou is now the most prosperous place in Changzhou.

The business travelers who come and go have to rest and relax there, on the contrary, except for those who go straight to Shuzhong and Jiangnan, there are many fewer people who go to Xinghai.

Especially now that it is winter, the river freezes, and many places cannot move forward.

……

"Sit down!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down, and seeing that Yang Zhirou had no intention of leaving, he looked directly at Yao Yi and said: "This year's harvest in Changzhou, next year's spring planting and development in Changzhou will continue, in addition, those big families who do not pay taxes must curb the acres of land, if anyone is not satisfied, next year my uncle will be heavy-handed." ”

"Whoa." Yao Yi arched his hand with a solemn expression.

"Is there also a big family encroachment on acres of land in Changzhou?" Yang Zhirou asked with some curiosity.

"yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "Fortunately a few years ago, Changzhou has just opened up, and there are not many big families who are interested in coming here, and even this king has to beg them to come, but even so, there are few people who have responded, but today, Changzhou is gradually rich, and naturally there are people who are eyeing the good food, plus this king is not ...... all year round."

"Then why next year?" Yang Zhirou subconsciously asked.

"Because I'm supposed to be transferred." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Yao Yi, shook his head, and said: "This king can't stay, and Uncle Shi is afraid that he can't stay, so it doesn't matter, so he will make some heavy moves, which can be regarded as clearing up some hidden dangers for the next assassin." ”

"The Great King is wise." Yang Zhirou stood up and bowed heavily to Li Xuan.

"Brother Yang is polite, please take a seat." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Originally, this king hoped that Uncle Yao Shi could take over the history of Changzhou Assassin, but His Majesty had other important uses for him. ”

"Oh?" Yang Zhirou asked in surprise, "Where will Brother Yao go?" ”

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty is acting wildly, it's hard to say." Yao Yi shook his head slightly, his face smiling bitterly.

"Oh!" Yang Zhirou replied softly, he didn't believe Yao Yi's words, he should have guessed in his heart.

But this kind of thing, until the official results come out, it's best not to say much about it.

"Then who does the next Changzhou assassin think the marshal will be?" Yang Zhirou asked with some curiosity.

"This king will recommend the right leading guard general Hei Zhi Changzhi, so that after this king is transferred from Tubo in the future, Hei Zhi Changzhi will be able to take over from this king in Tubo, so that the situation in Tubo can be stabilized and there will be no more troubles in Baekje back then." Li Xuan's words, Yang Zhirou was suddenly shocked.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Baekje, the Silla that originally helped the Tang Dynasty destroy Baekje stood up against the Tang Dynasty at this time, so that now the Tang Dynasty has retreated to the north of the Datong River.

The situation in Tubo now seems to be quite smooth, even if the king of Nanchang can't make this calculation, after the weather is warm next year, the power of the water division will erupt, they can still successfully take Luo, and then use the waterway to clean up the counties on both sides of the strait, and it will not be a problem to rule most of the territory.

However, there will definitely be remnants of the forces in Tibet fleeing into the mountains, and there are ancient Xiangxiong in the west of Tibet and Tianzhu in the south, and it is not necessarily a stable place.

When Li Xuan was in office, these people might not have any moths, but once Li Xuan was transferred and left, then anything would happen.

Black Tooth Changzhi succeeds Li Xuan, which is a good idea.

"No matter what, after next year, Tubo's demand for food in Changzhou will drop significantly, and if you survive for another year, good days will come." Li Xuan looked at Yao Yi and laughed.

Yao Yi smiled at the same time: "It just so happens that I am going to leave." ”

"Hahaha......"

……

Entering the backyard, Li Xuan's expression became solemn.

The guards around have completely blocked everything inside and outside.

Pushing the door into the study, Li Xuan saw Yu Ze sitting there at a glance: "Uncle, Changzhou Hucao joined the army, how did he do this year?" ”

Yu Ze raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan, and said helplessly: "He Jizhen is hiding in Jiangnan and not coming back, and I, Hu Cao, still have to take care of the affairs of my colleagues when I join the army, which is not a good thing." ”

This year, Wu Chengsi transferred his nephew Gong Heiye from the position of Changzhou Recorder to join the army, and Li Xuan took advantage of the situation to promote the former Changzhou Hucao to join the army, and Zhang Hongyue was promoted to Recorder to join the army.

Changzhou Gongcao, who originally wanted to take up this position, joined the army Zhang Xun, but was stuck in place.

Zhang Xun, who was formerly the superintendent of the imperial history, was a bachelor of the North Gate, and he and Gong Siye were originally staring at Li Xuan.

But now, Gong Siye has been transferred, leaving him alone here.

Li Xuan sat behind the table, and then said seriously: "Let's get down to business." ”

Yu Ze's face became solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "In Changzhou, all the household registration materials have been rubbed and sent to Delingha; The iron ore mine in West Tuyuhun of the royal palace and the ironworks have also begun to be gradually dismantled, and will be sent to Tibet next year; The jade mine of the royal palace in Xituguhun was also assigned to Li Gu's name, and Qugou ......"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "Qugou has no city defense, although the major families in the northwest control the economy, but the Tuyuhun people control the army, if something happens, it will be too easy to deal with." ”

"Yes!" Yu Ze arched his hand and said: "All other things are also being handled, but it is just the matter of the black-clothed Heavenly King, and I am afraid that the court and the central government already know about it." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as this king is transferred out of Changzhou, it will be fine, and the next one can even borrow the name of the black-clothed king." Li Xuan raised his head, and then said: "Next year, everything will be carried out in order, but once the order of the DPRK and the central government is issued, the caravan of the royal palace will not go to Xinghai, and go around to Tubo." ”

"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded, and then said: "If this is the case, then the next assassin Shi is afraid that he will not be able to stay in Xinghai." ”

"It's just going to make him stay." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Regardless of whether the next assassin is a black tooth or not, we all need to be cautious. ”

"Yes!" Yu Ze took a deep breath and looked solemn.

"What are the last things?" Li Xuan squinted at Yu Ze.

Yu Ze lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Before joining the army, Qamdo, Changzhou, and the wire reports sent to Chang'an, but those who did not go through official channels and coveted convenience to go to Hezhou have all been intercepted and killed, and the others are consistent with the news sent by Qamdo, but there is only one thing that is surprising." ”

"Where?" Li Xuan's expression tightened.

"Heyuan Wei Sima Lou Shide, there is a secret letter sent to Chang'an, the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department." Yu Ze's eyes turned cold.

"Lou Shide used to supervise the imperial history, and I haven't heard that he has any dealings with Pei Yan." Li Xuan sneered lightly.

"But it's also true, the more wary it is."

"Then we won't let him go to Tibet next year." Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

"Then stay in Changzhou......"

A rush of footsteps suddenly interrupted Yu Ze, who immediately sat up straight and his voice stopped.

Immediately, Li Zhu stopped outside the door and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, some secret reports, if you die, 2,000 members of the Gar family will be killed. ”

Li Xuan suddenly couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door, pushed open the door, and asked, "What about after that?" ”

"Brunzan Blade retreated to be a hero, and Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan appointed Brenzan Blade as the new minister, but Brenzan Blade remained in Dangxiong, and he sent a letter asking the king to ask His Majesty for a canonization edict." Li Zhu looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression and handed over the secret music.

Li Xuan slowly stretched out his hand to take the secret music, his eyes were faint, and he said softly: "You said that he asked His Majesty for canonization, do you want to tell the Lu family?" ”

Yu Ze, Li Zhu's face was suddenly full of horror.
