In March, spring is shining, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

In the Zichen Palace, the Empress Wu was concentrating on reviewing the chapters.

At this moment, the familiar sound of footsteps sounded.

Empress Wu subconsciously looked up and saw that the emperor had already walked in through the side door.

"Your Majesty." Empress Wu was just about to get up, but the emperor had already waved his hand, walked over to her and sat down, and then asked, "How is the situation in front of the Luo Dao army?" ”

"The king of Nanchang has already reported the detailed advance plan." Empress Wu took out a book and put it in front of Li Zhi, Li Zhi didn't look at it, and said directly: "Mei Niang, you say." ”

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "The uncle and nephew of the Gar family, Blun Zanjian and Lun Gongren, have accepted the canonization of the imperial court, but because the king of Nanchang will not enter the army until April, they did not make this matter public, but accepted the canonization of the state photo of the Tubo royal family. ”

"Therefore, the prime minister of Tubo has become the right military guard general of my Tang Dynasty." Li Zhi felt a little funny for a while.

"Yes." Empress Wu nodded, glanced at the song, and said: "If someone else is in front of the army, the concubines may still worry about fraud here, but the king of Nanchang is in front of the army, so there is no need to worry too much about this matter." ”

"He's always been good at manipulating people's hearts, so there's really no need to worry too much about this." Li Zhi nodded.

has had more contact with Li Xuan, but it is easy to be influenced by him.

The more you are exposed, the more you are affected.

"The Right Tun Guard and the Right Leading Guard Li Duozuo will lead a large army to attack Nyingchi from north to south; Left guard Tang Zhenxing and Gong Renhui led a group to attack Shigatse; The king of Nanchang will personally lead the right guard, the right leading guard, the left guard, the right guard and the right guard of the Brunzan blade to attack some of them. Empress Wu took out a map of Tibet.

Pointing to Luo Xu's surroundings, Empress Wu said: "The king of Nanchang will wait until the end of spring planting in April, and the reinforcements from Tubo Zhulu will gather logic, and then completely defeat them with the Bolunzan Blade, and then completely besiege Luo Xu, and finally let the Bolunzan Blade and Shi Xiannan go down to the south of the mountain, and the Black Tooth Changzhi will lead the army eastward and gather in Nyingchi." ”

"Reinforcements from the navy?" Li Zhi's hands have been drawn to various positions in the water system of the Nu River and the Yalu Zambu River.

"Yes!" Empress Wu nodded and said, "Through the water army, Wang Dezhen and Yang Zhirou can go to the Quartet to supervise. ”

"When did Heyuanwei enter Tibet?"

"In May, escorting a batch of grain and grass into Tibet will not participate in frontal combat, but besieging Luo, they need to rotate with the right guard, the left guard, and the right guard." Empress Wu shook her head slightly.

Li Xuan's precise layout, even the Empress Wu can't find any flaws.

Li Zhi understood this, nodded and said, "Then when will they start digging the dam to store water?" ”

The emperor asked the most crucial place in one sentence.

If you want to break through the logic, you still have to look at the water attack in the end.

"Defeat the outer armies of the Logos." Empress Wu looked at the map and said, "The specific steps need to be designed by Wei Hongji himself, and he is also very good at this." ”

"It's a pity, Wei Hongji should be transferred back." The emperor sighed lightly, put the fold aside, and then said: "In winter, the king of Nanchang said that there was little snow, and there might be a drought this year, but I didn't expect it to really come true." ”

Empress Wu nodded and said, "The concubine has seen what the king of Nanchang said, and there is indeed some reason for the reincarnation of the Daomen. ”

"The Ministry of Industry, which will be the supervisor, the water supervisor, and the household department, have already taken action at the beginning of the year, but even so, I still have a sense of a cup of water." Li Zhi couldn't help but be a little depressed.

"It is indeed not easy to win the sky with people." After Wu Hou's words, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Sitting up straight, Li Zhi waved his hand slightly, and said: "Fortunately, last year's grain is still enough, and if Luo Dao can take Tubo this autumn, there will be no need for more supplies from the DPRK, and even some supplies from the DPRK and China." ”

"The matter of sealing Zen still needs to be stopped for a while." Empress Wu carefully admonished.

"Let's stop for the time being, some Dao troops have not gone down, and no amount of preparation is in vain." Li Zhi took a light breath and asked, "By the way, what has Donggong been busy with lately?" ”

"The spread of looms in Yangzhou, as well as meddling in the inventory of hidden fields in Huaizhou, Donggong is ready to take over Pei Yan's affairs." Empress Wu looked at Li Zhi with some emotion.

"Their hands and feet are fast, and they can see them really accurately." Li Zhi couldn't help but nodded.

At this time of this year, the best thing Donggong did was to replace Pei Yan to do the Hidden Field Inventory.

Even Li Zhi can only fully support this.

"Pei Yan didn't plan to advance so fast this year, but after the Lantern Festival in the East Palace, he was forced to move quickly, in Xuzhou and Huaizhou, Pei Yan's methods were fast and heavy, and the East Palace even fully supported it." Empress Wu was full of admiration for a while.

"With Pei Yan in front of the villain, they will naturally push as much strength as they can, so that when they take over, there will be much less resistance to things."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "Let Donggong do it, this year's drought will be dry, if you can find out more fields, you can also provide more relief to the people." ”

Empress Wu nodded seriously, the East Palace did seize the good time to check the fields, this year's drought is dry, even the most stupid person will not hinder the strong intervention of the East Palace at this time.

Of course, the really stupid people will directly become ghosts, and they don't even have the slightest chance to intervene.

"By the way, how is Taiping?" Li Zhi suddenly asked about his daughter with concern.

"What else can I do, slowly the parents are short." Empress Wu smiled and said, "Since Xue Shao began to be on duty in the East Palace, even Taiping can only meet after he is on duty.

However, usually, Taiping is very close to Princess Nanchang, and she has a good relationship with the county lord of Fuchang. ”

"Hmm!" The emperor nodded and said, "Wait until ......"

"Good news, good news, good news......" The clear shout sounded in the distance in Chang'an City, and then quickly passed to the Danfeng Gate with the sound.

A Qianniu guard rushed to the door of the Zichen Hall and knelt directly into the hall: "...... Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Dingxiangdao victory, the Turkic Ashina Fu Nian sent Ashina Wen Fu, as well as dozens of large and small noble generals, will be escorted to Chang'an in the near future, the military situation is successful, and the minister wishes His Majesty a long life. ”

"Okay." Li Zhi immediately clenched his fists and said, "Wenxi County is beautiful, okay, go down and receive the reward." ”

"Whoa!" The Qianniu Guards did not hear the direct reward, and although they were a little disappointed in their hearts, they still respectfully withdrew.

At this time, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The battle of the grassland is finally over, and the army of more than 100,000 can finally withdraw. ”

Empress Wu nodded and said happily: "It will be half a month earlier than expected, so that this part of the military food saved can be used as a reward for the soldiers." ”

"Let's withdraw our troops first." Li Zhi looked to the side and said, "Convey the order to the military department, immediately draw up a strategy for withdrawing troops, and try to maintain the situation on the grassland while withdrawing troops as much as possible." ”

"Whoa!" One of the housekeepers had already stood up and bowed his hand, and then walked away quickly.

"The Ministry of Decrees, the United Military Department, and the organization of all the people on the Dingxiang Road must be accurate." As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he stood up again, gave up his hand, and left quickly.

"Spread the decree, order Wenxi County Gong Pei Xingjian to escort Ashina Funian and Ashina Wenfu to Zhaoling, pay tribute to the emperor, and then escort to the Taimiao to pay tribute to the ancestors." Li Zhi's order was given again, and another housekeeper stood up, and after giving up his hand, he left quickly.

"Passed the decree to the province, drafted the edict, and enshrined Pei Xingjian, the Duke of Wenxi County, as the Duke of Jiangguo; Drafting the edict, the right servant of Enzhun Shangshu shot Hao Chujun Zhishi; drafted an edict and promoted Li Jingxuan, the Duke of Zhao, to the right servant of Shangshu; drafted the edict and promoted Pengcheng County Gong Liu to the Zhongshu Order; Drafted the edict, and promoted Pei Xingjian to the Ministry of Promotion. Li Zhi said a series of words directly and non-stop.

After the tent, the last of the housekeepers on duty stood up, bowed his hands, and quickly left.

"Herald." Empress Wu opened her mouth at this time, and the eunuch Qiu Eun stood up and gave her hand, and Empress Wu said: "Summoning Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to return to Beijing." ”

"Work hard!" Qiu Eun bowed, and then walked away quickly.

Li Zhi looked at the clear sky outside the hall with a calm expression, and said softly: "Now everything that is left depends on how Pei Yan and Pei Xingjian fight, and the one who only hopes to lose has no resentment in his heart." ”

Empress Wu patted Li Zhi's arm with relief.

She knew that the emperor had actually prepared a generous enough reward for everyone, but not everyone had the opportunity to receive this reward, especially Pei Xingjian.

Although Pei Yan has a lot of opportunities, if he misses and makes a mistake, then no one will carry it for him, and at that time, he will have to do it for another ten years.

Maybe he can't even keep this criminal department book.

But what the final result will be has to do with the emperor, and it has to do with themselves.

……

Peng Wangfu, the backyard flower pond side, the bamboo forest is verdant, and the chrysanthemum is fragrant.

Liu Jinyu sat on the short couch with Zhao'er in her arms, looking down at a secret newspaper, and Xia'er stood in front of the table on the side, writing with a serious face.

On one side, Li Bi quickly entered from outside the door, walked in front of Liu Jinyu, and arched his hand: "Princess, Her Royal Highness the princess just sent someone to deliver a message, she won't come today, she and the horse went to Dongshan to step on the spring." ”

"Well, it's better not to come, just to avoid this chaos in the court." Liu Jinyu sighed lightly and looked at the secret report in his hand.

The secret report read: "Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Military Department, reported that there was an error, Ashina Fu Nian did not take the initiative to surrender, but because of the persecution of the deputy generals Zhang Qianqiao and Cheng Wuting, and at the same time, Hui Su, Xue Yantuo and other troops were forced from Mobei to the south, and they surrendered when they were cornered. ”

"Your Majesty asked Zhang Qianqiao and Cheng Wu to support their affairs, and the two of them said, and what Pei Shangshu said has something." Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Bi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li Bi cautiously arched his hand and said: "Back to the princess, in this way, although it seems to be questioning the court's treatment of Ashina Funian and others, it is actually questioning the military exploits of Wenxi County Duke, and if one is suspicious, all are suspicious." ”

"Then who is right and who is wrong in this matter, and how will Your Majesty decide?" Liu Jinyu continued to ask.

"According to the report of the imperial court, Ashina Fu Nian did surrender because he was besieged, although the Duke of Wenxi County allowed him to surrender for the sake of the overall situation, but he did not change the fundamentals, and at most he was not punished by beheading."

"But what if it's beheaded?"

Li Bi suddenly fell silent, and arched his hand and said, "I'm afraid it hurts people's hearts." ”

Liu Jinyu sighed lightly and said: "But Your Majesty has issued an order to Zhongshu Province and is ready to seal Wenxi County Duke as the Duke of Jiangguo. ”

Li Bi shook his head and said bitterly: "Wenxi County is afraid that it will not be accepted." ”

"And then?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Bi calmly and said, "Your Majesty has a gift, how can you not accept it, he will not accept it, how can more soldiers below do it?" ”

Li Bi arched his hand, bowed his head and said: "With the temperament of Wenxi County Prince, maybe he will thank him behind closed doors, and he will not be sick." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded lightly, she and Li Xuan also made the same judgment, if this is the case, then Pei Xingjian has already been abolished.

The emperor will be dissatisfied with him in his heart.

But Pei Xingjian has merit after all, and what happens to him depends on what happens to her husband's husband.

Historical records: Because of Pei Yan's performance, Ashina Fu Nian was finally sentenced to death.

After knowing the news that Ashina Fu Nian was executed, Pei Xingjian said sadly: "If you kill the people who surrendered, I'm afraid that no one will surrender in the future!" ”

Since then, Pei Xingjian has stopped going out under the pretext of being sick.
