As if he didn't want Li Yunxiao to see her embarrassed appearance, Wu Cao casually turned his head to look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Then you haven't made it clear yet, what do those words mean?"

Li Yunxiao smiled lightly: "In fact, you have already done all of this, and the so-called ones are all almost, all because you are a daughter, and secondly, whether it is my warning, or you are afraid of my brother Yuan, in the final analysis, it is you who do it." ”

"You can threaten people with your destiny, but you don't, and you can squander it with power, and you don't."

"I, Li Yunxiao, don't like good and evil in doing things, I can assure you that if you return to dust, you in the Yongzhen Ceremony will forever... It's all a Ming Jun! ”

"Then the Yongzhen Ceremony said that I had a private meeting with a childish slave, can I also change it?"

"That can't be changed, the people have already spread it, is it possible to take the lead in deceiving the world?"

Wu Cao didn't care about this matter anymore, so he didn't say anything.

Li Yunxiao said lightly: "Don't worry, between the public and the wrong, I believe that future generations will be fair, and the world will remember what you did for Datang, and your name will be remembered by future generations." ”

Wu Cao sneered, and didn't play dumb riddles with Li Yunxiao, because it was useless to play dumb riddles.

"That's tempting, but I'd like to live longer, but unfortunately, I can't be like you, and I can't have both, right?"

Li Yunxiao didn't answer, but said lightly: "Who knows what will happen in the future." ”

Wu Cao teased: "You have never spoken to me so gently, it's like a dream, this is really not like you." ”

"Really?" Li Yunxiao touched his cheek.

[Since sending Taizong away, when have I ever been like myself again...]

Wu Cao glanced at the sky and took a deep breath, muttering, "I don't have anything to pursue now, but I still have two wishes in my heart." ”

"Tell me about it."

Wu Cao's eyes flashed with reminiscence: "The emperor can't be buried in the same tomb, but I hope that after I die, I can be buried with the child." ”

"Simple, I should go down, as compensation for your hard work over the years, what about the second one?"

Wu Cao looked at Li Yunxiao with his eyes, and said in a serious tone: "I hope that on the day of my limit, you can come and give me a ride..."

A breeze blew through the courtyard, and the two looked at each other silently.

"If that day comes, let's talk about it." Li Yunxiao stood up and took out a copy of the exercises from his arms.

"I believe you are familiar with this, when I solve that matter, the choice is up to you, you work hard for Datang, I will not treat you badly."

Wu Cao looked at the exercises on the table and was slightly stunned.

【Weeping Blood】

"This is..."

When Wu Cao looked up, he found that the wind blowing in the courtyard was quiet.

Slowly clenching the weeping blood record, Wu Cao got up and returned to the house.

....

After two months, the wind and rain are coming.

During the reign of Yi Zhi, Baekje Goryeo was destroyed, and now only Silla rules and regulations remain, following the Central Plains calendar and learning the Central Plains culture.

Now the Central Plains is no longer simply a Tang Dynasty general, such as the Turks and other places, there are also high-ranking officials and soldiers from civil and military champions.

These are by no means suppressed by force by the Tang Dynasty, but the cultural identity of several years.

Since Li Yunxiao tempted them to use the Central Plains language with preferential treatment decades ago, many people have respected the Tang culture and are proud to be Datang people.

In Li Yunxiao's view, this is the most powerful force, because it is indestructible, and this force can make them willing to work hard for Datang, unite as one, and even die generously!

But other countries are not stupid, they know that they are attached to the Tang Dynasty, and they will be assimilated after a long time, but there is no way to do it, and they have to pay tribute every year, and they will come to the court every year.

There are exceptions to this matter.

Not long ago, the situation in Silla was turbulent, because the king of Silla died, and his heirs succeeded to the throne, and there were people who wanted to fight and those who demanded peace.

Wu Cao immediately issued an edict and sent Yuan Tiangang and several generals to go.

Yuan Tiangang couldn't stop Li Dan's begging, and after decades, he took command again and went to quell the chaos.

If you want to mess up, you can, but it's about the interests of Datang, so that's it!

This battle should not have been fought, and even the accompanying generals felt that it could not be fought.

Because when Silla saw more than 200,000 Tang troops coming over in full armor, those who wanted to rebel against the Central Plains inside were already frightened.

But Yuan Tiangang ignored their softness.

Claimed, if you want to be chaotic, you can be chaotic, if you want to plunder the Central Plains, you will enter the Central Plains, and now you say that you have thought about it, and your opinions are unified...

It's late!!

This battle was purely one-sided, and several cities of Silla were broken in less than a day, and Yuan Tiangang also personally beheaded the succeeding king of Silla and inserted it on the royal city.

In this battle, Yuan Tiangang's killing made many people feel frightened.

More than 30,000 people were killed and wounded in this battle, and this was still a situation where there was little resistance.

If all of them resist, it is conceivable that he Silla will follow in the footsteps of Goryeo Baekje and lose his country!

The situation in Silla was stabilized here, and war reports also came from the Tibetan and Turkic sides.

The Tubo soldiers came to invade the Central Plains in two ways, and were defeated by Xue Rengui and Wang Xiaojie!

Wu Cao had the intention to order to continue the pursuit, but thinking of what Li Yunxiao had said, the time had not yet come, and the internal disaster had not been eliminated, so he endured it.

And the Turkic Khan Ashna Linmo suddenly took tribute and asked for surrender.

Claim that you should fight the war thoroughly, and don't put them in the middle, because they now have hundreds of thousands of people together, and the people make up the majority.

In the past two years, there have always been wars, and they have not followed Tubo, nor have they followed the Tang Dynasty, so they simply threw themselves into their arms in front of Tubo.

Then he privately decided to return the land that Tubo had robbed a few years ago to the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Linmo's decision was deliberate.

Not long after he took over power, all these years of fighting were all defeated by the Tang Army, and if this continues, it will definitely be a rebellion among the people and an internal rebellion.

Besides, he always thinks about whether there are bad people around him.

He had heard about the skills of bad people, but now that the bad guy almost destroyed Silla, the head of the lord of Silla was cut off and hung on the city wall, and he was a little afraid.

Whether it is to exempt the Central Plains from the crusade against him, or to win over his own people's hearts, he will make a steady profit and not lose money.

Since then, the Central Plains soldiers have not been bloodless, and the Turks have become a line of defense against Tibet...

When the Lord of Tibet heard this, he almost vomited blood in anger.

How many troops did you expend when you took the Turks?

This was won while Yuan Tiangang and Li Yunxiao were away, and now it is so easy to disappear?

This made him not sleep well for almost half a month.

....

After the matter was settled, it was winter after April.

Wu Cao stood in front of Li Zhi's tablet, looked at the good news, and smiled contentedly.

At this moment, a figure behind him suddenly fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty..."

Wu Cao heard the call, slowly turned around, and looked at Gao Lishi, with some doubts in his eyes.

"What is the matter with this great gift?"

"Minions... I beg your resignation..."

"What?" Wu Cao thought he had misheard.

"I've never blamed you for being a bad person, are you afraid of me?"

Gao Lishi shook his head and solemnly kowtowed again: "The slave is old... The deadline is approaching... I'm afraid, I can't wait for Your Majesty. ”

Wu Cao lowered his head slightly, and then he was suddenly stunned.

"Time is like a horse whipping, and the years are like falling flowers."

"Come to think of it, I'm already eighty years old, and you're two years older than me, indeed... It's time to rest. ”

Gao Lishi said in a deep voice: "The slave has been displaced by the disaster since he was a child, and he was rescued by the marshal to serve in the court. ”

"For decades, although there are some literary abilities, but there is no talent in the temple, thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to give up, dyeing power for decades, it has been a blessing from heaven."

"Although I have the heart to continue to serve His Majesty, I have more than enough heart, but I don't have enough strength..."
