West of Chang'an City, outside Jinguang Gate.

It was cold in early winter, but there were many people.

On the side of the black carriage, Li Xuan looked at Yao Chong and said, "What is going on in the Imperial History Terrace today?" ”

"Everything is going well in the Imperial Historical Tower, I'm afraid that the officials of the government and the opposition will have a hard time." Yao Chong smiled slightly, and his tone was very tight between his words.

Li Xuan turned to look at the end of his line of sight in the distance, and there was already a carriage vaguely appeared.

"Uncle Shi is going back to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid it won't be long in time." Li Xuan appeared here today to welcome Yao Yi back to Beijing with Yao Chong.

"Although my father has been in Changzhou for many years, he has never been to the front line after all, and although he has not returned to Chang'an many times during the Chinese New Year, it is not difficult for his family to visit." After a slight pause, Yao Chong shook his head and said, "It's not the New Year's Day, and after my father sees it, I'm afraid I'm going to leave for Panzhou soon...... Yes, the prince is going back to Pengzhou, I don't know when he will leave? ”

"Probably after the crown princess gave birth." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "To be honest, since the beginning of the second year of the last century, after leaving Pengzhou for Nanchang, Xuan has not been back for a long time, let alone his wife, children and mother. ”

Hearing this, Yao Chong nodded and said, "The prince is also hard. ”

"Hard work can be regarded as an achievement, my uncle has crossed the thorn history level this time, and ten years later at the latest, it will be a book in the court." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Yao Chong, shook his head, and said: "At that time, Yuan Zhi will at least be a squire, and you father and son will fight for the position of prime minister." ”

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.

Although Yao Yi has outstanding ability, compared to Yao Chong, it is worse.

Although Yao Chong is only from the history of serving the emperor in the six grades now, he has been doing it for five years, and he must be the position of the six Lang, and he may even be a member of the Zhongshu House.

The Zhongshu Sheren has been doing it for five years, and it must be the position of the Shaoqing of the Nine Temples and the Shilang of the Six Ministries.

At that time, Yao Yi happened to enter Beijing to work on six books.

If it is another five years, ten years, the father and son will not be able to become prime ministers at the same time.

Of course, this situation cannot happen at the same time, so at that time, someone must give way, this person ......

"Not to mention that it is difficult to have such a day, but there is really such a day, Yuan Zhi is still very young, and precipitation is not a bad thing." Yao Yi shook his head slightly, his expression calm.

"Brother Xian has seen it thoroughly." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "The position of prime minister is not done early, but for a long time. ”

"What the prince said is true." Yao Chong raised his head, looked seriously at the familiar figure that was gradually approaching in front of him, and finally smiled and said, "Aya is back." ”

……

The black carriage slowly entered Chang'an City, escorted by two hundred black-armored cavalry on both sides.

Li Xuan took out a cup of hot tea from the carriage seat and handed it to Yao Yi, saying, "I will face the saint in a while, and my uncle will warm up first." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Yao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then drank the hot tea in one gulp.

Li Xuan poured another cup and said, "What is the situation in Changzhou, is it still smooth for Yan Guogong to take over, this time it really worries my uncle." ”

Yao Yi took the hot tea, shook his head and said: "Why did the prince say this, this is the duty of the lower officials, the prince is often not in Changzhou, everything is done by the lower officials, and it is also a matter for the lower officials to be responsible for the handover." ”

"It's still troublesome Uncle Shi." Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Over the years, although he has served as the governor of Changzhou and the governor of Changzhou, Zhang Da'an is in charge of the affairs of the Changzhou Governor's Mansion, and Yao Yi is in charge of the affairs of the Changzhou Assassin's Mansion.

Although he is in charge of the overall situation, when it comes to the details, it is far less clear than what Zhang Da'an and Yao Yi know.

Even to put it bluntly, aside from the surface and looking at the substance, Zhang Da'an and Yao Yi are the actual governors and assassins of the Changzhou Governor's Mansion.

"The handover of all affairs in Changzhou is quite smooth, and half of the officials of the Changzhou Assassin Mansion have stayed, and the rest are filled by the staff under the command of Yan Guogong, and everything is properly settled."

After a slight pause, Yao Yi looked up at Li Xuan and asked puzzledly: "There is something that the lower officials are puzzled about." ”

"Oh, Uncle Shi, please speak." Li Xuan was a little surprised.

Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan and asked directly: "Since the beginning of this year, I don't know why, the number of business trips to and from Xinghai has decreased by nearly half all of a sudden. ”

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's because Tubo has fallen." ”

Seeing that Yao Yi was a little puzzled, Li Xuan said more deeply: "The reason why there was this trade route back then was because Xuan was on the front line, if the supply of grain and grass from Changzhou alone, not to mention the tight supply and demand in Changzhou, there was a slight risk, there might be a possibility of being cut off from the back road, so this king directly opened up the grain road to Panzhou." ”

Yao Yi nodded lightly, from Changzhou to Panzhou, there are many party places in the middle, and this piece was originally all the land of Tibet.

Later, it was Li Xuan who took Xiaohuashi Gorge to block the snooping of the Tubo people, and then entered Panzhou against the Yellow River.

The grain and grass in Shu can also be sent to the front of the army from Songzhou and Panzhou without passing through Chang'an, which greatly alleviates the grain and grass crisis before the army.

Li Xuan continued: "Now that Tibet has fallen, the grain and grass in the army in the future will basically be solved by the local government in Fanzhou, and the burden of the DPRK and China is very small, so the road from Panzhou through Changzhou, and finally to the front of the army will be broken.

Without the military to maintain the road, the road will become increasingly difficult to navigate, the cost will increase, and fewer people will naturally take it. ”

Yao Yi fell silent, he knew the difficulty of this road.

From Panzhou to Changzhou, there are many waterways and swamps in between, and it would be difficult to walk this road without the military's waterwheels and bamboo rafts.

Not even just this road, but also the Changzhou-Hazhou waterway, which is being repaired more and more often as the military uses it decreases.

And the cost of local maintenance will naturally be spread on the passing business travelers.

In the face of increasing costs, many business travelers would rather go to Lanzhou, Shanzhou, than Changzhou and Hezhou.

"In addition, most of the business travelers who have been in Changzhou in the past are somewhat related to this king, but now that Changzhou has been replaced, this king has been transferred to Fanzhou, and those business travelers related to this king will also follow this king to Fanzhou, and go to the Western Regions, and the value of Changzhou is not great." Li Xuan shook his head and stared Xinghai's trade route to death.

No one will take the trade route from Changzhou to Panzhou, so in comparison, the trade route from Tuyuhun to Chang'an will be more prosperous.

Qugou will be more prosperous.

The relocation of Qugou is almost visible to the Changzhou Assassin's Mansion, and the Changzhou Governor's Mansion will inevitably be relocated in the future.

In this way, Changzhou's influence in the party and Subi will be greatly reduced.

"These things, since my uncle has been transferred to Panzhou, he doesn't have to worry about Changzhou affairs anymore." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "From Shuzhong to Fanzhou, you still have to go through Panzhou, but from the northwest of Panzhou, to the southwest of Panzhou, against the Jinsha River, through the Tianhe River to Qamdo, and then through Qamdo to Luo. ”

"So who is Ghamdo under now?" Yao Yi stared straight at Li Xuan.

"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Qamdo has never been under the jurisdiction of any place, when Tubo was not under the rule, the Changshi of Qamdo was concurrently served by Zhang Gong, so the Changzhou Governor's Mansion has the right to govern, but now the Changshi of Qamdo is concurrently served by Nanju, the general of the Right Tunwei, and the Right Tunwei is still under the command of the general manager of the Luo Dao March, but in terms of local governance, it does not belong to the Metropolitan Protectorate of Fanzhou. ”

Yao Yi was silent, and now although the Tang Dynasty has exterminated Tubo, the two kingdoms of Subi and Yangtong still exist.

Sheep are remote and barren, and the Tang Dynasty is not very interested in them, but Subi is different.

Subi happened to be in the center of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and Queen Subi was supported by the Tang Dynasty.

After the capture of Tibet, it was basically a Tang garrison.

Even the Subi cavalry was transferred to Fanzhou to garrison, and the Tang Dynasty had a strong control over here.

But if it is said that who is in charge here, Li Xuan can't say clearly, and Yao Yi can't say it either.

It seems to be under the control of Li Xuan, but Qamdo is not under the jurisdiction of the Luo Some pacification envoys, but if it is not under his control, but the right guard is under the command of the Luo Dao marching governor's office.

Yao Yi knows better that everything here seems to be chaotic, but the fundamental reason is that the DPRK itself wants to make this place chaotic, and then use it to balance Li Xuan.

"If my uncle is willing, then when the time comes, this king can let General Nan communicate with my uncle, and if my uncle can still persuade Yan Guogong, then it is not impossible to open up a new road in Tongtian River or Baihai." Li Xuan looked sideways at Yao Yi.

Yao Yi sighed lightly and said, "I'm afraid that Yan Guogong doesn't have this mind." ”

Li Xuan lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yao Chong sat on the side, but he could hear the deep meaning in it.

Li Jinxing, the Duke of Yanguo, although he is a marching general, is not a qualified local assassin.

Changzhou will operate in the next few years, and I am afraid that there will be some problems.

……

The carriage moved forward slowly, and it seemed that it had reached the Suzaku Gate in front of it.

Li Xuan looked up at Yao Yi and said: "Uncle, Xuan still has to go to the East Palace, so I won't accompany my uncle to face the saint, Xuan will leave for Pengzhou around the tenth day, if my uncle also goes south during this period, you might as well go with me...... After all, Panzhou belongs to Jiannan Province, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Yizhou, Xuan can still say something. ”

Yao Yi suddenly came over, he was no longer the governor of Changzhou Thorn History in the northwest, but the Panzhou Thorn History Mansion in the southwest.

His boss is no longer Li Xuan, but the governor of Songzhou and the governor of Yizhou.

Li Xuan is not familiar with the Governor of Songzhou, but Li Xuan is very familiar with Shi Li Xiaoyi, the Governor of Yizhou.

Through the inspection of the palace guards, Li Xuan and Yao Yi entered the imperial city.

Yao Chong is about to get off at the Yushitai, and Li Xuan is still in the direction of the East Palace, as for Yao Yi, he has to go out of the Taiji Palace to the Daming Palace.

The emperor is now waiting for him in the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace.

However, just as Yao Chong got out of the car, a slender voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty's dictation, Xuan Shi Yao Chong's audience." ”

Yao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The minister's order." ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, Li Xuan probed out, and then saw the Qiu eunuch standing there announcing the decree at a glance.

When Qiu Eun saw Li Xuan, he shook off the dust with a smile and said, "King Peng, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Li Xuan immediately arched his hand and said, "The minister's order." ”

Qiu Eun's eyes fell on Yao Yi in the car.

……

In the Zichen Palace, Li Zhi was wearing a black gold silk python robe, sitting behind the imperial case, and was reviewing the chapters.

Li Xuan, Yao Yi, and Yao Chong stood in a row.

Li Xuan, Yao Yi, and Yao Chong arched their hands at the same time: "Li Xuan, the assassin of Fanzhou, Yao Yi, the assassin of Panzhou, and Yao Chong, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Li Zhi put down the thin bamboo gold pen, raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan, and asked, "King Peng, are you going to pick up Yao Qing today?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Although the minister has been the assassin of Changzhou for many years, because of many years of war, Yao Changshi has always been in charge of Changzhou government affairs, and now all this is going to be handed over, he is back, and the minister will come over to take a look, and by the way, how is the handover going?" ”

"So what?" Li Zhi's eyes fell on Yao Yi and asked, "Yao Qing, how is the handover of the Changzhou side going?" ”

Yao Yi immediately bowed his hand and said: "It's quite smooth, there are many things in Changzhou, and they will be handed over according to the book." ”

Li Zhi nodded and continued to ask......
