Anwangfu.

Li Ye is playing against Cui Keli.

Now that winter has begun, many things should be put to an end, and by the way, make plans for next year. Cui Keli came here for this matter today, because the two of them were actually discussing important matters while playing against each other.

"The Confucian scholars of Yangzhou had disappeared from Yangzhou City before Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses arrived, and it was their own choice. From now on, there will be only one Confucian sect in the world, our Qingzhou. Li Ye said, "Mr. understands what I mean, right?"

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, during the imperial examination next year, the Confucian scholars of the Yangzhou family will not be among them. Trekley nodded. There is nothing to discuss in this matter, at least not for him and Li Ye here. Those scholars of Yangzhou Confucianism chose to leave Yangzhou City before Li Ye's troops arrived, which shows that they have no intention of serving Li Ye.

Cui Keli knew in his heart that it was not that the Confucian sects in Yangzhou did not want to, but that they thought that Li Ye would not accommodate them.

It makes sense.

Cui Keli continued: "Next year, the Qingzhou Confucian Academy will move to Chang'an, and I hope that His Royal Highness can give more encouragement at that time. ”

Li Ye nodded: "Of course, I will visit them in the schoolhouse." ”

Li Ye's return to Chang'an is to go home, not to conquer, so from now on, he doesn't have to go to Qingzhou to sit in the town. Chang'an is the center of the Tang Dynasty and the center of the world, and Li Ye, the king of An, who holds the general trend of the world, naturally wants to be in charge here.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, Cui Keli had to ask Li Ye's arrangement, "King Wu was destroyed, King Qi took refuge, and now among the great princes of the world, only Wang Jian is still left." What are your highness's plans?"

Li Ye took the tea bowl handed by the maid beside him, took a sip, and did not directly answer Cui Keli's question, but asked, "What does Mr. think, Lonely?"

As Li Ye's number one staff member and Li Ye's uncle, Cui Keli has the responsibility of planning military aircraft for Li Ye. ”

Li Ye nodded slightly.

The border troubles were very serious, especially in Tibet, which captured more than ten prefectures west of the Tang River. The land of the eleven states that the Guiyi Army originally recovered is now mostly remastered by them, in addition to that. The Uighurs in the Western Regions also continued to use troops to the east, intending to capture Sha, Kua and other prefectures, annex the Guiyi army, and enter Hexi.

Therefore, the most important side matter at the moment is Hexi and the Guiyi Army.

However, the outside must first be settled inside, and only when the inside is stable can Li Ye accumulate enough strength to deal with external enemies. Whether it's the army, or his personal cultivation.

After getting the Central Plains and Guanzhong, his cultivation has reached Taiyi True Immortal. Among the immortals, this is also a strong man, and with Li Ye's combat power, it is not too difficult to defeat the Golden Immortal Realm. However, in the current immortal war, Da Luo Jin Immortal is all over the place, but Li Ye's strength is not enough, at least it can't affect the battle situation.

No matter what the purpose, Li Ye should first clear the universe and improve his own cultivation.

Li Ye said: "King Wu was destroyed, Confucianism was running, Huainan had no resistance force, King Qi crossed the river in just over ten days, and he had already captured more than ten states in Jiangbei. I estimate that in more than ten days, the whole of Huainan will bow down. In addition to the places where we have settled down, there are Jiangzuo, Chudi, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Lingnan, all of which are small forces. ”

When he entered the Hajj and arrived in Chang'an, he handed over his life to the imperial court, and everything was arranged by the imperial court.

"What if they don't come?"

Li Ye chuckled: "I will send the monks of the Tsing Yi Yamen to accompany me, they can't think of coming, is it possible?"

Trichley smiled too.

Indeed, although all the feudal towns in the world may not be convinced by Li Ye at the moment, their strength is very different from Li Ye, not to mention anything else, just look at how arrogant Wang Jian is in Jingzhou, you can know the suppressive power of the big princes over the small princes.

When Li Maozhen arrived, Li Ye not only had the monks of the Phantom Sound Workshop to drive, but also had twenty or thirty real people under the command of King Wu who had surrendered before.

Cui Keli took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and said: "Now it seems that it is Wang Jian, the king of Shu, who is not too big or small. What does Your Highness plan to do with him?"

He asked about "disposal", not how to attack Shuzhong and how to use troops.

If it was just Li Ye who fought in Shuzhong alone, with the advantage of the terrain in Shuzhong, Wang Jian still had the possibility of stubborn resistance, but now Li Ye and Li Maozhen joined forces, and the two kings were in the dynasty, in Cui Keli's view, Wang Jian had no chance of winning.

When Wang Jian goes to chase after King Wu, it depends on when Li Ye sends him on the road.

Li Ye took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The military situation in Hexi is very urgent, and after a while, I will have to take the monks to the border." This matter can be carried out together with the envoys of the subjugation, but it cannot take care of Wang Jian at the same time. Well, give Wang Jian a chance, if he is willing to follow Li Maozhen's example, be loyal to the court from now on, obey the dispatch of the court, and allow him to keep the prince and have the same treatment as Li Maozhen. ”

This is to send an envoy to Shu to preach comfort and summon him to the court.

If Wang Jian is willing to enter the court, then everything is easy to say.

"What if he doesn't want to do what he does?"

It's not that he deliberately wants to break the casserole and ask to the end, but as a confidant, he must figure out Li Ye's thoughts.

A chill flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and he said without any abnormality: "Then he had better expect that the Tubo monk is strong enough to hold me down for a long time, so that he can live a few more days." ”

This was said very politely, but Cui Keli had a deserved expression on his face.

After talking about these general trends, Li Ye and Cui Keli talked about many specific matters. The focus is nothing more than the control and governance of the Central Plains and Guanzhong Domain. Control requires garrisons, which is the business of military generals, and governance requires the dispatch of officials, which is the business of civilian officials.

Now the civil officials under Li Ye, Cui Keli and Li Zhen are two heads. Among them, Li Zhen mainly commanded the old people of Anwangfu, which is considered Li Ye's old team, and Cui Keli mainly commanded the Confucian scholars of Qingzhou Academy, which can be regarded as an emerging force. The two cooperate with each other and compete with each other. For Li Ye, this is not a balancing act, just a necessary situation.

- Now, Li Zhen has also been transferred to Chang'an by Li Ye. Not only him and Cui Keli, but many powerful civil and military generals under Li Ye's command came back with him this time, some of them wanted to stay in Chang'an to serve in the imperial court, and some needed to go to other important places.

The matter of governing the place is related to how many people's luck Li Ye can gather, and he must not be sloppy, but fortunately, Cui Keli and Li Zhen are familiar with the way, and everything has rules to follow, and it is not difficult.

Li Ye often wondered what level of cultivation he would reach when he completely pacified the Guannei? It was certain that he would cross the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm, but he was not sure whether he could reach the Daluo Golden Immortal.

And above the Immortal Realm, Da Luo Jin Immortal is not the highest point. After all, under the saints, they are all ants. Li Ye wants to achieve the realm of a saint - if it is possible, how much territory does he need to rule?

This question is still a little far away for Li Ye, he can only ride a donkey to read the record book.

After talking to Cui Keli, it was already afternoon, and Li Ye planned to go to the palace.
