"The imperial court is really going to recover the land of Longyou in Hexi. Unconsciously, Han Rui actually left two lines of tears: "Your Majesty's grace of heaven and earth, Rui will never forget." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the purple-robed general rolled over and fell to his knees.

"The tombs of the ancestors of the Han family are in Jincheng, when Weichen was young, his grandfather sighed that he could no longer go to the graves of his ancestors to sprinkle and worship, which was really unfilial piety and a lifelong regret. Today, His Majesty intends to recover, and Wechen is grateful. ”

Jincheng is Lanzhou, since the Guandong Rebellion, it has become the place under the jurisdiction of Tubo, the Tubo nobles are divided from each other, the road is not passable, and the Longyou people who fled back to the Central Plains want to return to their hometown to see the ancestral tomb again.

Li Xu hurriedly helped the general up.

"Now it's just piecemeal, and restoring Longxi is a major policy of the imperial court, but it still has to be done step by step. Han Shangshu went to Fengxiang to the front line of guarding Tubo, and he still had to manage it carefully. I am going to let Yuan Zhi set up a horse market in Fengxiang, and exchange silk and tea for the healthy horses of Hehuang from Tubo, where General Han will train a cavalry for me. ”

The Shence Army and the Tianwei Army have been subordinate to the eunuchs for too long, and the vines are branching, and they may not be easy to use, Li Xu is ready to set up a new army, but the current situation is far from the time to set up a new army.

Let's talk about the next step first.

Li Xu knew in his heart that there were times when the steps could not be too big, such as the King of Light Li Chen, who sold too many steps. Is this kind of dream done casually when I dream of sitting on a golden dragon in the sky? Since I had such a dream back then and told it to others, I have no choice but to play the role of a fool now.

That's how people are born unfree.

As autumn approached, the peasants were already busy harvesting, and at this moment, both the Tibetans and the Uighurs were preparing for the famine.

Life on the grasslands is not satisfactory, and as long as the cold snap from the north is a little more severe, there will be an unknown number of people who will be forced to carry knives and cross horses to rob south.

However, this autumn in the north is destined to be much more peaceful, and the Uighur mission is about to enter Beijing. Whatever the Uighurs' intentions, the imperial court's Northern Forbidden Army and the forces of the feudal towns would keep these Hulu firmly in the north.

The extermination of the Buddha of the Tibetan Zamp Prangdama has just come to an end, and now is the time for everyone to line up and sit down to share the cake.

The cool evening breeze blew the curtain of the Qingliang Palace, and all the three monarchs and ministers sitting at the round table could feel was a sense of comfort.

Such a moment of peace is so precious.

"Your Majesty may wish to change the name of the era. As a member of the clan, Li Congxian always felt that the current era name was a kind of humiliation imposed on Dayu by the Queen Mother.

Only by changing the era name can Li Congxian's heart be relaxed.

"Well, this year is indeed a renewal of Vientiane, and Weichen also thinks it is best to change the era name. "Fengxiang Festival makes Han Rui's thoughts more similar.

After all, two serious problems have been solved on the whole this year, the collapse of the post-party intervention in politics and Manichaeism, which can be used as a great book of ZTE's merits in any case.

What's more, with Empress Dowager Wen being placed under house arrest in the Mingtang Palace, everyone also knew that a new era was about to begin.

The two martial artists wanted to recommend changing the era name by themselves, which couldn't help but make Li Xu interested, and he did have such an idea.

"How is Hongwu?" Li Xu asked: "The imperial court has raised troops in the northern country, and the martial arts of the Central Plains have swept away the dust. ”

"Not good. Han Rui simply expressed his opposition. The envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu believed that it was undecidable whether the northern kingdom would be war or peace, and that the Uighur mission was still on the way, and if it was announced that next year's era would be Hongwu, it would undoubtedly put the diplomatic negotiations that were about to begin in a very awkward position.

"Qingfeng is better. Li Congxian's agricultural feelings are fully revealed: "It is now the golden autumn, and I heard that the harvest in Guanzhong, Henan, and Huainan is very good. Qingfeng is also a good lottery. ”

Isn't it good to sell steamed buns? Li Xu shook his head and rejected this suggestion.

"I think Qingfeng is very good. Han Rui felt that although he was a martial artist, he was still a Confucian in his bones, and he still had more say on such a topic.

"The pattern is too small. Li Xu pointed out the shortcomings of Qingfeng as an era name, anyway, it is gossip at the wine table, and chatting is chatting.

"Yes, the first emperor's year is Dazhong. Li Congxian pointed out that the era name of the God Emperor was very atmospheric. "But you can't just take the grandeur, after all, it still has to correspond to the current situation. ”

Dazhong, Li Xu thought that his cheap old man who died inexplicably suddenly had a bad taste.

"It's not as good as Suning, after the abolition of bad governance, the people can recover and then be peaceful. ”

"Your Majesty, this is similar to Qingfeng, and the pattern is not high. ”

"What about Gome? I have Kyushu in the DPRK, Guomei and Min'an, how about this?"

"It's a bit rude, it doesn't correspond. Han Rui pointed out that the original meaning of the country was only to refer to the capital and its surrounding areas, and the word "Guomei" as an era name is really meaningless.

The three bored people chatted about the era name that would not be changed at all over the rice wine, and this appetizer was very tasty.

Just as Li Xu was chatting happily, Chen Chaoen hurriedly walked in from outside the hall.

Li Xu, who was hearty, took the wine glass from the side and poured a glass shallowly.

"Lao Chen, you can also have a drink, haha, you have worked hard this time. ”

Chen Chaoen also smiled unambiguously, took the wine glass from the emperor's hand and drank it all.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Linghu Chu is here, and he is anxious to see you. ”

Pei Du is still a few days away from entering Beijing, and Li Xu is going to hold a short ceremony to welcome this old minister who once assisted the God Emperor to level down various feudal towns. Linghu Chu and Pei Du had a relationship before, so they naturally became the best candidates to be responsible for organizing the ceremony.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the ceremony, Li Xu thought of this and immediately ordered Chen Chaoen to summon Linghu Chu.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Linghu is in the judgment of the Privy Council, and the matter reported must be a military matter, so the ministers should not avoid it. Han Rui's brain still understood that maybe some things that Ling Hu Chu reported were not suitable for him to know, such as some things involving his father Han Gang.

"It's okay, there's nothing military about you that you can't know. Li Xu knew that Ling Huchu's work did not involve any secrets.

Although they are all judgments, they have the same distant relatives. Compared with Li Deyu, Li Shen, and Niu Shengyu, Ling Hu Chu is more like a pure text secretary.

"Your Majesty. Although the Privy Council judgment is about to enter the pile of old papers, Ling Hu Chu still looks not arrogant or impatient.

After all, Linghu Chu is Pei Du's old team, this time Pei Du returned to Beijing to serve as the left servant of Shangshu, and the Pingzhang matter under the Zhongshu Sect is equivalent to adding a backer to him, so it is understandable that he can do it easily.

Compared with Linghu Chu, Yuan Zhen's position is more embarrassing, and he has just been sent to Henan by the emperor, saying that he is doing things with a secret order, but everyone can see that this is standing aside.

"Mr. Linghu, isn't there something wrong with the ceremony to welcome Pei Xiang?"

"No, Pei Xiang thinks that the country is troubled now, and he has not made any meritorious achievements in Hedong, but he is just a hasty paste, and it is not suitable to raise teachers and move the public. ”

Han Rui lowered his head when he heard this, his father Han Gang was nominally a Zhongshu order, but in fact, whether it was Shangshu Province or Menxia Province, only Han Xiangma was the first to look forward, and Pei Du entered Beijing as the prime minister, and his father was indispensable to a dragon fight.

As a minister, Han Rui does not want this kind of unprovoked political fighting to spread, after all, it is not beneficial to the country. As a son, Han Rui also felt that his father was getting older and had reached the time of retirement, and he didn't want him to work hard for these vicious fights.

"Although there is no prime minister in our dynasty, Ping Zhangshi under the Zhongshu Sect is the de facto prime minister. The responsibility of the prime minister, the upper auxiliary king, and the lower An Lishu, is the auxiliary pillar of the country. Such a position should not be lightly conferred, so it should be honored with courtesy and authority. Li Xu thought for a moment and then said: "You go and tell Pei Xiang, I have made up my mind, please ask Pei Xiangmian to make it difficult." ”

Ling Hu Chu nodded, as far as his own interests were concerned, he was happy to see Pei Du return to Beijing in a beautiful manner, since the emperor's attitude was so resolute, then he was also happy to go back and continue to persuade Pei Du.

After Chen Chaoen sent Linghu Chu away, the banquet in Qingliang Hall was suddenly disturbed by this pause, and Li Xu drank two more cups and ordered the attendants to send Han Rui and Li Congxian back to the house.

The emperor blew the cool breeze unique to the autumn night, sipping the hot tea in the cup one by one, his eyes closed, and he felt an indescribable tiredness.
