"Foreign Minister Tuyuhun Mission Honghua pays a visit to His Majesty the Tang Emperor—"

"Little monk Ah Lai, I have seen His Majesty the Tang Emperor—"

On the "Hanyuan Palace", Princess Honghua, the envoy of Tuyuhun, and the national teacher A Lai respectfully saluted Li Zhizai, and the civil and military officials stood in pairs, and the curious ones still looked sideways and forward.

"Your Excellency, excuse me. I already know about Tuyuhun, and since the imperial sister has returned to the Tang Dynasty, she will live in Chang'an City in the future."

Looking at the first princess of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Li Zhi's heart was full of emotion.

As a descendant of later generations, Li Zhi naturally hated the policy of peace and proximity, how could the rise and fall of a country and its honor and disgrace be pinned on a woman?

Of course, this Honghua princess is just a distant relative of the Li family, and it is precisely for the needs of harmony that she was canonized as a princess.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, he married Murong Nuo, the Khan of Tuyuhun, and became the queen, who was four years older than Li Zhi in terms of age, so this sentence of the imperial sister was naturally called.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine, this is a gift from Tuyuhun, although the Murong clan is still defeated, the concubine also hopes that the Tang Dynasty can share weal and woe with Tuyuhun and communicate with each other."

As she spoke, Princess Honghua took the gift list from the hands of the deputy envoy A Lai, raised the head of the country with both hands, and her own old eunuch Zhang Ananda took it.

The gift list is naturally rich, especially the five thousand war horses, which are naturally precious to Datang, a country that lacks good pastures.

Of course, if Li Zhi was an ordinary monarch, he would naturally look at these war horses more, but unfortunately, for Li Zhi today, the effect of these mundane things is greatly reduced.

"The imperial sister has a heart, Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty are dependent on each other, I will naturally increase bilateral trade between the two countries, if the imperial sister is interested in this matter, she can also set up her own caravan in Chang'an."

can be selected as a princess of harmony, this princess Honghua is naturally not comparable to ordinary women, Li Zhi "remembers" that this princess is not only smart and virtuous, but also has superhuman courage.

After Princess Honghua married into Tuyuhun that year, the relationship between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty became closer, but this caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers in Tuyuhun.

One year, King Xuan, the prime minister of Tuyuhun, and his two younger brothers conspired to kidnap Murong Nuo's bowl and Princess Honghua to defect to Tubo during a mountain sacrifice event.

Princess Honghua did not panic when she learned the news, she flew on the horse, and together with Murong Nuo, with a small number of personal soldiers, ran to Xining, Shancheng, overnight, and with the help of Du Fengju, the assassin of Shanzhou, she smashed King Xuan's conspiracy in one fell swoop, and Tuyuhun quickly settled down.

Now that Murong Nuo is dead, and the heirs of the two have also been poisoned by the demons, Princess Honghua, who is nearly fifty years old, if there is nothing to shackle her, Li Zhi is worried that she will sink from now on.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's love, although it is the first time for the concubine to see Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's reputation for bravery and benevolence has already spread all over the country, and it is true that it is true when I see it today——"

Maybe she has been staying in Tuyuhun for a long time, Princess Honghua is more heroic and free than the woman of the Tang Dynasty, looking at Li Zhi who is sitting upright on the golden steps, she really has a sense of family affection.

"Monk Alai, I didn't expect you to be Tuyuhun's deputy envoy, it seems that it was Wu Niangzi who controlled Tuyuhun."

For this Alai monk, Li Zhi really has a slight impression, after all, he is the person who follows Wu Yue, and between Li Zhi and that martial lady......

After all, until now, on the jade of the Tang royal family, the name of "Virtuous Concubine" Wu Yue is still written.

"Amitabha, I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to remember the poor monk, this is a letter that the master of my family asked the poor monk to stay with when he was leaving, and repeatedly warned the poor monk."

"If the Tang Emperor doesn't know the poor monk, then he can offer the Tuyuhun State Book, and if the poor monk is lucky enough to be recognized by the Tang Emperor, then let the poor monk be sure to believe in it."

Monk Alai was expressionless as always, and took out two things from his arms, one was Tuyuhun's national letter, and the other was a letter written by Wu Niangzi to Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, Wu Niangzi is really different from Wu Niangzi, and she also needs such arrogance for herself

Is it?

Li Zhi didn't care, and opened the letter written by Wu Niangzi in public.

In fact, the content is very simple, just talking about his experience in Tuyuhun in the past few years, and proposing to intend to conquer Tibet in the south, hoping that Datang can give necessary support.

At this time, the war was also fought with logistics supply and technical strength, and Datang had a level of weapon forging and armor making that other countries could not match, but these have always been a country's heavy weapons, and they have never easily flowed abroad.

For this, the martial lady, who is a person from the Tang Dynasty, naturally knows it.

Therefore, when she was really desperate, she wrote this letter to Li Zhi.

Otherwise, with Tuyuhun's foundation alone, let alone these necessary technologies, even if you master these technologies, there is no place to find resources.

It's just that, weirdly, in the whole letter, Wu Niangzi didn't say a word about her little girl Taiping, as if the child had nothing to do with Li Zhi.

After reading the letter, Li Zhi symbolically opened the national letter.

In his opinion, since the martial lady has personally written a letter to ask for help, it is nothing more than some weapons and armor, even if it is a siege weapon, Li Zhi plans to transport some of it.

Compared with Tuyuhun, Tubo is the henchman of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that this is still a request made by his own woman.

The political ambition that was not realized in Datang, I didn't expect that in just a few years, Wu Niangzi would actually realize it in Tuyuhun, and in this regard, Li Zhi really has a trace of inexplicable admiration for his concubine.

However, when he opened the letter of state and saw the final payment, Li Zhi was a little uneasy.

"Di Renjie? ——」

Tuyuhun's prime minister is actually a generation of famous minister Di Renjie?

In the history of the Tang Dynasty in another time and space, after Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, it was this Di Renjie who took over the baton, and then it was the turn of Yao Chong and Song Jing later.

And Di Renjie was reused in "Wu Zhou", but I didn't expect that there was no Wu Zhou in this time and space, but there was still a combination of Wu Niangzi and Di Renjie.

"Monk Alai, I will definitely satisfy the invitation of the letter of state and your lord, Tubo is a large border country, located in the southwest, and has also harassed the Tang Dynasty from time to time."

"In addition to the necessary support, I will also send an elite army to help in the past, Xue Dingshan—"

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to insert a pole into it.

The current situation, whether it is the Three Realms or the Datang in front of him, is no longer familiar to him, and he dare not underestimate the energy of that martial lady, in case he can't hold it anymore, it may not be a blessing for Datang.

"The disciple is here—"

Today's Great Dynasty Meeting, fourteen-year-old Xue Dingshan also came to participate, mainly because Agarwood and Ao Ting, who practiced together, came, and Li Zhi simply dragged the only male disciple over.

In fact, Xue Dingshan, as the only son of the general Xue Rengui, originally had Enjue, and at the age of fourteen, he was not a child in this era.

"Ding Shan, when Monk Alai returns to Gu Hun, you should go with you. In addition, Commander Bai will also follow you, draw a hundred people from Yan Chixia to take with you, and then select five thousand people from the forbidden army."

"You are my disciple, and you are the son of Jiangmen Huzi, and it is time to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, Xue Qing, you won't have an opinion on my arrangement, right?"

For Xue Dingshan's apprentice, Li Zhi is still very satisfied, without the strength of those second-generation officials, he is quite able to endure hardships in both cultivation and the art of war and martial arts.

"Where did Your Majesty come from, Ding Shan is the son of the last general, and he is also the son of my Tang Dynasty, thanks to His Majesty and the queen's mother who have cultivated for many years, it is a matter of course to fight for the country!"

Previously, when Li Zhi sent Xue Rengui to exterminate the demons, he would have wanted his son to go with him, but he didn't expect that now His Majesty would give his son, who was only fourteen years old, a chance to be alone.

"Ding Shan, after arriving in Tuyuhun, if you have any undecided matters, you can discuss with Di Xiangguo, or you can go to the palace to visit your other master."

Gotcha, in front of the big

In front of Tang Wenwu's hundred officials, Li Zhi directly leaked the relationship between the Tuyuhun royal family and him, and even looked at the dark Alai National Teacher with a bamboo in his chest.

Wu Niangzi wants to use her special identity to get a powerful boost from Datang, and now she is helping Li Zhi is given, even more than she imagined.

And a simple sentence of "master" seems to have classified the entire Tuyuhun under the rule of the Tang Dynasty?

If the martial lady who was far away in Tuyuhun knew the situation of the "Hanyuan Palace" at this time, but she didn't know how she would feel?

"Your Majesty, since Tuyuhun has sent an embassy thousands of miles away, my Datang can't make people laugh, and I don't want to be rude, and I think that my Datang should also send an embassy."

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Fang Xuanling, the head of the civil officials, stood up with a smile, and the other courtiers were not willing to be lonely when he spoke.

In the past few years that the demons have ravaged the Three Realms, there is not a single country in the entire Nanzhan Continent that has not been invaded by the demons, and some small countries have even been directly destroyed by the demons.

In such a harsh environment, there have been few exchanges between countries in recent years, and many young officials have never even seen such a magnificent scene of Tuyuhun coming to Chang'an to worship.

"This matter will be arranged by the Minister of Housing and the Ministry of Rites, which department is needed to cooperate, the heads of each department must cooperate in place, and give me a report when the time comes."

"In addition, the national letter says that the total number of Tuyuhun missions is more than 2,400 people, in order to show the sincerity of Datang, let's start at least ten times."

"Whether it is a businessman, a student, or a Datang clan from all walks of life, anyone who wants to go to Tuyuhun with the mission can register at the Ministry of Rites, and all the expenses required on the way will be calculated by the Ministry of Households, and I Datang will bear it."

On the "Hanyuan Palace", the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers sang a harmony, and the plan of the "envoy" Tuyuhun was decided, Princess Honghua listened to it under the golden steps, her eyes were wide open, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

Is this still a mission?

Starting from ten times, it is at least more than 24,000 people, especially all the expenses are borne by the Datang Household Department, such attractive conditions, God knows how many people will sign up in the end?

Princess Honghua seems to have seen it, and the mighty team that is heading towards Tuyuhun, where is this mission, it is clearly a big emigration-

"Tang Huang, this ......"

Although Ah Lai is a monk, before he escaped into Buddhism, he was a general in the army, and even if his political consciousness was a little worse, he also felt the strangeness at this time.

"Monk Alai, you don't need to feel embarrassed. The head of your family is actually my 'virtuous concubine Niangniang, who made a decision with me a few years ago to 'earn Tuyuhun peacefully.'"

"Now that my beloved concubine is finished, I naturally can't let her and Di Qing work hard there, when Tugu Hun conquers Tubo in the south, in addition to my apprentice Ding Shan's 5,000 forbidden army, the southern garrison of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably move, so that 'Concubine Xian Niangniang has to worry about the future.'"

Now, Li Zhi decided to carry out the "shameless" to the end, and the dignified supreme of a country, in front of the Tuyuhun envoy and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, directly exposed the identity of the martial lady.

Even, out of nothing, what "peace to earn Tuyuhun strategy".

Of course, Li Zhi sat high on the dragon chair, and he swore so confidently about it, who could stand up and refute it?

What's more, even Monk Alai himself can't figure out whether what this Tang Emperor said is true or false, what if it is true?

At this time, Monk Alai realized that his master really came out of the "Jin Palace" back then, and then it didn't take long to find out that he was pregnant.

From this point of view, isn't the little princess Taiping the daughter of the Tang Emperor?

Connecting the "all the facts" before and after, Monk Alai finally came to his senses.

No wonder his lord wants to give Datang 5,000 high-quality war horses, and the lion opens his mouth to ask for Datang's weapons and armor, and the two sides are a family for a long time?

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The poor monk will definitely bring His Majesty's will, and will fully cooperate with the 'virtuous concubine Niangniang, stabilize the rule of Tuyuhun, and strive to send troops to Tibet as soon as possible."

Well, Monk Alai suddenly realized, and completely confirmed what the Tang Emperor just said, the Manchu Dynasty has one civil and military one, and then looked at Li Zhi's gaze changed.

His Majesty the Emperor has disappeared for a few years, but he didn't expect to do such a big thing behind his back.

In the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, taking Tuyuhun, where is the feat of "virtuous concubine Niangniang", it is clear that Tang Emperor Li Zhi personally ran to handle it.

The King of Frontier Expansion——

"Long live Your Majesty, long live the Tang Dynasty—"

I don't know who shouted, and then the entire "Hanyuan Palace" was filled with the sound of a mountain shouting "Long live".

This is clearly a beautiful mistake, but unfortunately, Li Zhi is unwilling to explain anything.

Why explain?

......

Half a month has passed since the grand court meeting of the "Hanyuan Palace", and Chang'an City has finally returned to calm.

Generalissimo Xue Rengui's army has also been mobilized, and the troops are divided into six routes, first sweeping away the remnants of the demon clan in the Tang Dynasty, and then going to the nearest neighboring country to help eliminate the demons.

Of course, some neighboring countries have really sent people to ask for help, and out of "humanitarianism", Datang is naturally obliged.

Some small countries have been wiped out by the demons and are in a state of extinction, so the Tang Dynasty naturally can't sit idly by, so they simply take it over.

In order to restore the normal life of the local people, Datang should suffer a little loss.

Officials were successively sent from within the Tang Dynasty to govern, generals and troops were stationed in the past, and even some people were relocated.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this truth is still understood by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, almost all the middle-aged and young generals who could fight in the DPRK and China were sent out, and the total number of troops sent had already exceeded the predetermined number of 40,000.

Two years later, Datang's overseas garrisons reached 60,000, not including those original borderless lands, which were painstakingly managed by Datang to create "new states and counties".

If you count other countries that are dependent on the Tang Dynasty, the shadow of the Tang Dragon Banner can be seen in the entire Nanzhan Continent, more than eighty percent of the places.

Of course, this is a later story, at this time, even Li Zhi himself couldn't imagine that the follow-up things would go so smoothly, and he was just planning step by step.

"Husband, haven't you fallen asleep yet? ......」

Taiye Mishima, in the "Hanliang Palace", Li Zhi really fiddled with a few "irregular fragments" in his hand, which is the only unsolved mystery on his body now.

Of course, Li Zhi also had conjectures about these "irregular fragments", and he had some judgment just from the enthusiasm of these things for the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array" formation.

"It's Ting'er, I haven't slept yet, you can come in-"

Nominally, Li Zhi also has a queen and four concubines, but unfortunately, in the entire palace at this time, there is only the eldest grandson Huanting.

Queen Yang Chan, just received a message from the "Wa Palace" the day before yesterday, and the person who came to pass the message was still an old acquaintance, it was the "Senior Sister Qingluan" who had seen at the wedding of Li Zhi and Yang Chan.

is still so arrogant, but this time she didn't make a move on Li Zhi.

One is that Li Zhi is already the master of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is that Li Zhi's realm of "Da Luo Jin Xian" surprised "Senior Sister Qingluan".

You must know that when Li Zhi and Yang Chan got married, "Senior Sister Qingluan" was the peak cultivation of "Da Luo Jin Xian", and Li Zhi was just a "Jin Xian".

It's only been how many years have passed, and Li Zhi's entry into the country is really a bit unexpected by "Senior Sister Qingluan".

This one glanced at Li Zhi coldly, although he did not speak ill of him, but he did not step forward to offer his hospitality because Li Zhi was a great advancement or promoted to the Tang Emperor.

"Senior sister, I have come to pass on the message of the Nuwa sage, asking you to follow me to the 'Wa Palace'

; One trip, one trip at once—"

Well, with such a fluttering word, Yang Chan obediently followed "Senior Sister Qingluan" and left.

Before leaving, the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan was still a little apprehensive in her heart.

Because she loves her son very much, when Agarwood followed Xue Rengui on the expedition, she actually took matters into her own hands and secretly handed over the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" given by the Nuwa sage back then to her son.

It is also interesting to say, this innate treasure has arrived in Yang Chan's hands, so many years have passed, but she is not as skilled as the little agarwood operation.

To be precise, when Yang Chan uses the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", she still has to recite the mantra silently, and only by following the method taught by the master can she drive the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map".

Even so, Yang Chan felt that she only knew one-tenth of this innate treasure, but Xiao Agarwood was not.

It was precisely because Yang Chan found out that she was pregnant when she was in the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", and it had actually been more than two months at that time.

In order to better raise the fetus, Yang Chan had no choice but to leave the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", and it was precisely in those two months that the little agarwood that was still in the womb was ghostly recognized by the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map".

In other words, most of the innate treasure-level holy weapons will produce their own instrument spirits, but this "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" does not.

As a result, the little agarwood, which has been bred for more than two months in the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", has been considered by this innate treasure to be a spirit-like existence.

When the little agarwood was born, it was more convenient to enter and exit the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" than to go back to his own home, sometimes this kid skinned up and hid in the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", Yang Chan was stunned for a few days and couldn't find where he hid.

Of course, Yang Chan herself didn't know about this matter, and Li Zhi didn't know it either, they only saw that Xiao Agarwood could enter and exit freely, but they would never have thought that this "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" had already been integrated with Xiao Agarwood.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Agarwood has extraordinary qualifications, with his "lazy" temperament, can he reach "Taiyi Xuanxian" so quickly?

Although he has the cultivation of "Taiyi Xuan Immortal", after all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and his mother is worried, not to mention that this expedition is not only thousands of miles, thousands of miles?

Coupled with the danger of war, it is inevitable that Yang Chan feels sorry for her son, so she secretly lent her son the "Shanshe Jitu" temporarily, and even Li Zhi never told him about it.

Unexpectedly, my son has only been gone for a few days, and "Senior Sister Qingluan" has arrived.

There is no way, the sage master's command must be obeyed, and in desperation, Yang Chan can only bite the bullet and go to the "Wa Palace" first.

As for the "noble concubine Niangniang", well, the little princess of the Asura clan, Luo Jia, has never been to Chang'an City at all, and has been by her daughter Liluo's side all these years.

"Concubine De Niangniang" Ao Ling is the busiest person among Li Zhi's daughters-in-law, especially after giving birth to the second prince Ao Ting, she is already in charge of all the water systems in the Tang Dynasty.

The number of "Dragon Maiden Niangniang Temple" has also increased unprecedentedly, and Ao Ling is unwilling to fake his hands on others, so he has to do it himself, and Li Zhi, who is busy, has not been able to see anyone when he comes back.

It was easy to run back to Chang'an, but I didn't stay for two days, and I was summoned by the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

said yes, in the depths of the four seas, the secret realm of the dragon clan, opened once in a thousand years.

The night of the full moon is the day when the secret realm of the dragon clan opens, but all dragons of the level of "Golden Immortal" or above are qualified to enter to find their own opportunities.

So, Ao Ling went to the East China Sea like this, and Xiao Bailong, who was fighting with Xue Rengui, also took leave.

"Virtuous Concubine Niangniang" is naturally the martial lady, and she is still far away in Tuyuhun to be her "queen behind the scenes", and the five daughters-in-law are good, and only the eldest grandson Huanting is left by her side.

Of course, this is also what the eldest grandson Huanting wants to see the most.

She was Li Zhi's earliest woman, and she followed Li Zhi when she was a child, but now she is seriously outdated in terms of "heirs".

The queen mother Yang Chan gave birth to the prince Agarwood, and the concubine Luo Jia had the eldest princess Liluo, and the concubine Ao Ling

also gave birth to the second prince Ao Ting, and she didn't know that even the last ranked virtuous concubine Niangniang Wuyue also had a little princess Taiping.

The other concubines were not there, and the eldest grandson Huanting also seized all the opportunities as much as possible, appearing beside Li Zhi from time to time.

......

"Jiulang, it's late at night, and the concubine is afraid that you will be hungry, so she personally cooked a bowl of ginseng tea and brought it to you."

The eldest grandson Huanting pushed the door in, holding a bowl of ginseng tea in her hand?

What a lame excuse, not to mention Li Zhi's cultivation of "Da Luo Jin Xian", even if he never eats or drinks, is it okay, can he still be hungry?

Besides, even if you're really hungry, who will you fool when you bring a bowl of ginseng tea?

"Haha, Ting'er has a heart. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion of all families, hey, I seem to have returned to my childhood, and you are the only one by my side."

As he spoke, Li Zhi stood up and took the bowl containing ginseng tea from the hand of the eldest grandson Huanting.

"Did Kurou miss his sisters? Sister Chan and that Sister Luo Jia are already 'Da Luo Jin Immortal cultivators, and Sister Ling is already a 'Taiyi Jin Immortal, and she enjoys so much power of incense, this time she goes to the secret realm of the Dragon Clan, maybe she can also be promoted to 'Da Luo Jin Immortal'."

"Although the martial sister is not in Chang'an City, in the end, she also has a strong background in Buddhism, and when the martial sister left seven years ago, she had already recovered the cultivation of the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal, maybe she was even earlier than Sister Ling, but I ......."

At this time, the eldest grandson Huanting was like a little resentful woman, and counted Li Zhi's other wives one by one.

Don't say it, except for the eldest grandson Huanting, none of those people are easy to get along with, and the talent of any of them is far above that of the eldest grandson Huanting, even among the fairies in the entire Three Realms, they can be ranked first.

And the eldest grandson Huanting, with the skills given by Li Zhi, coupled with the tried and tested "Xuanyuan Room Technique", has barely just stepped into the "Taiyi Xuanxian".

"Ting'er, why should you be arrogant, your talent is not as good as theirs, and the cultivation time is also the shallower, and it is already commendable to be able to have today's cultivation."

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the eldest grandson, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but he didn't expect that the more he said this, the more "wronged" the eldest grandson Huanting felt, and actually sobbed.

"Ting'er, don't cry, let's go and practice, and when we meet again next time, maybe you can catch up with them—"

It is the most difficult to absorb the grace of beauties, and the deeper moonlight, brocade clothes and skirts, who cares about the blessings and misfortunes of the Three Realms? The furrow in the chest and the universe in the palm of the hand, only greedy for Shaohua for a moment.

The familiar "Xuanyuan Room Technique" once again operated between Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Huanting, and the bright moon outside the window seemed to be ashamed to watch this scene in the world, and actually hid in the clouds.

At this time, Li Zhi could get very little from the "Xuanyuan Room Technique", but the eldest grandson Huanting, who had just entered the realm of "Taiyi Xuanxian", could still benefit a lot.

It's just that after she entered the "Taiyi Xuanxian", every time she practiced this "Xuanyuan Room Technique" with Li Zhi, a vast ocean always appeared in her mind?

There was also a crisp birdsong in the sea of knowledge of the eldest grandson Huanting, and then above the vast sea, a small bird really flew over.

What kind of bird is that?

Graceful, with long flowing hair, wings on his back, a flower head, a white beak, and red claws.

Does that look a bit like a crow? ......
