Under the Red Mountain, the Governor's Mansion.

Li Xuan sat behind the middle hall table and carefully examined the yellow book of household registration sent by Wang Dezhen.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside, and Li Xuan subconsciously raised his head, and saw Yang Zhirou standing outside the hall, solemnly bowing his hand.

Li Xuan glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Come in." ”

Yang Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the hall, and looked at Li Xuan, who had been in a good mood, in surprise: "Don't you care about those treasures?" ”

Li Xuan put down the yellow book of household registration and asked, "Brother Yang thinks that there are many such treasures?" ”

"There must be a lot." Yang Zhirou's breathing was a little heavy, he looked at Li Xuan, and arched his hand: "It can be used as a treasure by the Tubo royal family to restore the country, not to mention that it is rich and rivals the country, but it is enough to buy a city and form an elite cavalry of tens of thousands." ”

"Who would have thought that Tibet would destroy the country." Li Xuan's words, Yang Zhirou couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xuan looked at Yang Zhirou calmly: "Back then, Songtsam was rampant, attacking from north to south, and marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty, four thousand miles away from Chang'an, he probably never dreamed that Tubo would be destroyed."

As for the future, Lu Dongzan, on Qinling, Zanxiruo father and son, east to Tuguhun, west out of Anxi West Town, and there is the victory of Dafeichuan, how can they think so. ”

Yang Zhirou was silent for a moment, and then said: "But after the defeat of Dafeichuan five years ago, the Tubo royal family should also have foreseen the danger. ”

"So what?" Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Before the death of the Qin Ling, all the affairs of the Tubo State were in his hands, and even before the first battle of Naqu last year, he was still killing countless nobles, and the only time they would start to prepare was after the death of the Qin Ling. ”

Yang Zhirou had to admit that Li Xuan was right, the freedom that the Tubo royal family really had was only one year to prepare.

Li Xuan continued: "Since the beginning of the year, the Tubo people are eager to spend every penny on military supplies, plus the change of generals in the army, and few people expect that there will be a big defeat. ”

When Yang Zhirou heard this, he immediately remembered the purpose of coming here, and he arched his hand and said: "The marshal, the lower officials and the deputy marshal, and General Qiu Zhonglang have already inspected all the captured palace soldiers, and no one knows about the treasure vault......

"So either the people who carried the treasure have all been killed, or there is no treasure at all." Li Xuan raised her eyes to look at Yang Zhirou.

Yang Zhirou smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "What the marshal said is extremely true, although the lower officials don't want to believe that there is no such treasure house, but this is possible after all, so ......"

"It's not the Lu clan who deceived us." Li Xuan looked at Yang Zhirou, whispered, shook his head, and said, "So you want to interrogate the Lu family?" ”

"Please also ask for the commander's permission." Yang Zhirou immediately surrendered.

"The fastest way to find those treasures is to torture the Lu family." Li Xuan raised his eyes, looked at Yang Zhirou and said, "Brother Yang thinks that this king has not thought about arresting and torturing Chidu Songzan, and then using it to force the Lu clan to speak?" ”

Yang Zhirou's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan dares to ask, why doesn't the marshal do this?" ”

"It's the same question as before." Li Xuan raised her hand slightly, motioned for Yang Zhirou to sit, and then said, "How many treasures are there?" ”

"Please also ask for advice."

"If he says nothing, the king will never believe it; But if there are too many, it is impossible. Li Xuan looked at Yang Zhirou and said, "If there are any treasures in this batch, then it should only be enough to form a cavalry of about 1,000 people." ”

"A thousand?" Yang Zhirou's eyes straightened, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she subconsciously said, "So little?" ”

"Not a lot." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "If there is no mobilization of the army, a thousand cavalry is enough to cross thousands of miles, and it only needs to be carefully managed, and it will also have the power to restore the country." ”

Yang Zhirou suddenly retracted his expression, and arched his hand seriously: "It's the lower official's gaffe." ”

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang has been in the army for a long time, and he usually has tens of thousands of cavalry troops and grain and grass transfers, and a thousand people are indeed nothing. ”

Yang Zhirou sighed softly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"The wealth of a thousand horsemen is indeed a lot, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the 70,000 army, and compared to the wealth that millions of people can create in the entire territory of Tibet, it is far worse." Li Xuan shook her head completely unconcernedly.

Yang Zhirou was completely silent, and after a while, he spoke: "Before coming here, Xia Guan was still full of excitement and actively running to find that batch of wealth, but all this was completely worthless in the eyes of the marshal. ”

"It's not entirely right to say that it's not worth mentioning, otherwise the deputy marshal wouldn't have gone with him." Li Xuan picked up the yellow household registration book on the side, and said with a sigh: "This king is studying this thing, if he can't find that batch of hidden treasures in the end, then as long as he can come up with a favorable strategy for governing the people, then maybe in just one day in the future, he will be able to harvest a wealth that is not inferior at all." ”

"The handsome man has a broad vision, and the lower officials are not as good as the officials." Yang Zhirou stood up and seriously bowed his hand to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Yang wants to interrogate the mother and son of the Lu family, and the reason why this king does not allow it is more because His Majesty has a decree to let this king take the mother and son to Chang'an."

If you starve for three days, you will be exhausted at most, but if you are strictly interrogated, people will die, how can you and I face Your Majesty. ”

Li Xuan gently pushed the yellow register in front of him, and Yang Zhirou's face was already extremely solemn.

The emperor asked Li Xuan to send the mother and son of the Lu family to Chang'an, in addition to following the example of Emperor Taizong who asked Jieli to dance in the Taiji Palace, more importantly, to prepare for the sacrifice of Songshan next year.

And the sacrifice to Songshan is part of the entire Wuyue Festival, compared to these, any messy treasure has to make way.

"It's the official's mistake." Yang Zhirou arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan will go to other places to find clues." ”

"There's no need to rush." Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "It is estimated that before I leave for Chang'an, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain anything, I might as well wait, wait until Chang'an is over, and then find Qianniuwei to investigate, although it is later, but these things will definitely fall into the hands of His Majesty." ”

Yang Zhirou looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, Li Xuan was open-minded, which made Yang Zhirou feel ashamed.

"The next official retired." Yang Zhirou bowed his hand heavily, and then slowly left, feeling infinite emotion in his heart along the way.

……

The sky was dark, and Li Xuan finally finished the yellow book.

Immediately, under the table, a densely written booklet appeared in Li Xuan's hand.

Looking at this booklet, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This contains some of the parts of the Yellow Book that need to be carefully adjusted.

Slaves, civilians, and sergeants, the proportion and location of the land are all extremely inconspicuous, but extremely important.

The emperor only had a year or two left, perhaps even shorter, and once Li Xian ascended the throne, he would immediately face the fiercest seizure of power by Empress Wu.

Although Li Xuan has been away for the past few years, her communication with Li Xian has never been severed.

Over the years, Xue Yuanchao, Li Xuan, Su Liangsi, Du Xianyan, Yang Jiong and others have never stopped teaching Li Xian.

Li Xuan believes that the current Li Xian is definitely not the weak Tang Zhongzong in history who made people rush into the palace and directly abolish it, he already has a certain resistance power.

Even if Empress Wu unites with Pei Yan, it is not so easy to abolish him.

What's more, if the emperor left Li Xuan a position as a minister before he died, maybe Li Xian would be able to completely stabilize the throne.

But......

The emperor didn't trust Li Xuan that much.

Or rather, the emperor did not trust anyone.

Therefore, even if Li Xian can support it for more time, the final outcome will not change.

So before that, Li Xuan needed to integrate all the forces of the entire Tubo land.

Tibet has a population of more than 3 million, and 200,000 of them were killed or wounded in the hands of Li Xuan.

If they can mobilize with all their might desperately, even if it is Li Xuan, it will not be so easy to take it.

But it's a pity that Tubo itself is a city-state system after all, and the large and small city-states have become the core of Tubo, and the rights of the Tubo royal family have suddenly stopped reaching the major city-states, and the mobilization force is weak.

Therefore, Li Xuan made a move to intervene directly, and then divided the troops into the north and south, and the resistance of the Tubo people was immediately completely annihilated.

The city-state system was the foundation for the establishment of the state in Tibet before, and now it is naturally the biggest enemy of Li Xuan's rule over this land.

The law of household registration and land division was the first step taken by Li Xuan to destroy the city-state system, destroy the rule of the aristocracy, and accumulate strength for himself.

As long as this step can be successful, then the DPRK will withdraw all the military strength of Tubo, and Li Xuan will be able to immediately pull up 200,000 troops.

When the time comes, out of Tanggula Mountain, down Tuguhun, go straight to Longxi, Tianshui, and then Chang'an.

Li Xuan's fist clenched slightly.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded.

Li Xuan turned around and saw Su Wei'er, the queen of Subi, standing at the side door, and before Li Xuan could speak, Su Wei'er had already arched her hand and said, "Handsome, Chidu Songzan can't hold on." ”

"Oh!" Li Xuan immediately stood up, her eyes excited.

……

Walking into the Red Palace, Li Xuan immediately heard a faint sob, as well as a whispered comfort from the Lu family.

Without water and rice for two days and two nights, Chidu Songtsan couldn't hold on.

Li Xuan looked sideways at Su Wei'er and whispered a few words in her ear, and Su Wei'er immediately looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

Li Xuan waved her hand, and Su Weier had no choice but to leave.

A moment later, a bathtub filled with hot water was carried into the Red Hall from the outside, and finally in front of the side hall without the Lu clan and the Chidu Songtsen.

Seeing the bathtub full of petals, Lu Shi's face suddenly changed.

At this time, Qianniuwei, who was guarding the side hall, strode away, and then, four maids wearing tulle walked in from outside, standing in front of the bathtub, looking at Wu Lu with calm eyes.

Without Lu's face, he instantly turned extremely pale.

Crisp footsteps sounded, and immediately, Li Xuan, dressed in black brocade, appeared in the hall, and a pair of cold eyes immediately fell on Wu Lu's body.

No, Lu Shi suddenly felt as if he had been stripped naked, and he was chilling.

"Someone, bring Zao to the main hall for dinner."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, the two maids had already stepped forward and directly snatched the Chidu Songzan, who was crying loudly, from the hands of the Lu family, and carried them directly to the main hall.

Without the Lu family, he didn't have much strength for a long time, so he could only watch his son being snatched away, and then watched Li Xuan walk in front of her, looking at her wantonly.

Li Xuan leaned over, gently pinched Lu Shi's smooth jaw, and said in a cold voice: "Are you taking off your clothes now, or is this king helping you take off, or this king brings your son back and lets you ...... in front of him."

"No, don't!" Without Lu, he immediately rushed towards Li Xuan, full of resentment and wanted to arrest him.

Li Xuan just gave in lightly, and let go of the Lu family.

"Come, bring back the king of Zao." As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, Lu couldn't help but exclaim, "Don't." ”

Looking at the Wu Lu family, whose heart defense had been completely defeated, Li Xuan held up her chin with her index finger and said softly: "If you don't want your son to be brought back, it's okay, what this king says, what do you do." ”

"Good!" No, Lu finally bowed his head completely.

Under Li Xuan's eyes, red light flashed.
