The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 833 The Last Chapter of 2018

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong stayed in Youzhou for a few more days, enjoying family happiness, and then returned to Chang'an City.

Before leaving, Li Tai repeatedly told them not to show any lies.Everything is as if nothing happened.

……

"Now that it's the spring when all things recover, it's time for me to personally conquer the Tubo Kingdom. I don't know whether the people, horses, food, grass, etc. are ready?" Li Zhi asked.

"Reporting to the emperor, I have already trained 50 horses. All the food and supplies have been provided by the Minister of the Ministry of Households. Now we only need to wait for the emperor's order to sacrifice the flag and send troops." Xue Rengui said to Li Zhi when he came out of class.

"Now that everything is ready, the military adviser will choose an auspicious day, and I want to personally conquer Tubo Kingdom." Li Zhi nodded and said to Xu Maogong.

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui, King of Ping and Liao Dynasty, is now the Generalissimo of the three armies, but he cannot live without a vanguard officer. Please also ask the emperor to choose a vanguard officer to build a bridge for the army." Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, what the military adviser said is very true. Not only does our army need a vanguard officer, but also a food and grass officer who will escort the food and grass. After all, the three armies will go before the food and grass are moved." Xue Rengui said.

"I'll leave the matter of pressing grain and transporting grass to me, Cheng Yaojin. I've done this business more than once, and I'm definitely familiar with it." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Then the Duke of Lu will be in charge of transporting grain and grass. I wonder if any of you would like to be the pioneer of Zhengyin in the front?" Li Zhi nodded and said.

This vanguard officer is the sharp knife of the whole army, not only to build mountains and bridges for the army.Every battle must be the first, so no one is willing to accept this position for a while.

If it was placed when Li Shimin was the emperor, I am afraid that the position of the vanguard officer would have been fought over for a long time.But now the veterans have passed away one after another, so naturally no one will fight for it.

Seeing that none of the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty responded, this made Li Zhi furious.Pointing to the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, he said angrily: "On weekdays, you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but today I am looking for a vanguard officer, but no one is willing to share my worries. If this is the case, what is the use of me supporting you. "

Li Zhi's words made all the generals of the Manchu Dynasty lower their heads, and no one touched Li Zhi's brow.For fear of accidentally getting burned.

"Since no one is willing to be the pioneer officer of Zhengyin in the front, then I, Yuchi Gong, can only go into battle again. Your Majesty, my minister Yuchi Gong is willing to take the lead." Said.

"I have to share my concerns with some old dukes in the middle of the court, so duke Lao'e will take up the post of pioneer official of Zhengyin in the front." Li Zhi said to Yu Chigong.

"Your Majesty, since I have asked my ministers to be the vanguard officers, can I have my ministers choose this vanguard army?" Yu Chigong said to Li Zhi.

"Within 50 horses, Duke E can choose, and Duke E can choose 10 horses as the vanguard." Li Zhi said to Yu Chigong without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, what our Grand Marshal of Ping Liao is best at is to set up a large formation. I am afraid that the 50 horses will not be enough, so how can we choose among the 50 horses?"

"That's why I feel that we should transfer another team from elsewhere to act as the vanguard. I wonder what the emperor wants?" Yu Chigong said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, with 50 troops now, the food and grass needed is already an astronomical figure. If another 10 people are dispatched, it may be difficult to supply food and grass." The Minister of the Household Department said to Li Zhi.

"Didn't you always tell the emperor, is the Tang treasury sufficient now? Why can't you even support a battle now?"

"Could it be that you are always bragging to the emperor to conceal the truth? Or are you secretly filling your pockets and emptying the treasury?" Yu Chigong said, glaring at the Minister of the Household Department.

"Yu Chigong, don't spout blood. Which of your eyes has seen that I am enriching myself. You generals only know how to dispatch troops to charge and kill the enemy. How have you ever cared about how much food and grass will be consumed?" Hubu Shangshu did not show any weakness. Said to Yuchi Gong.

Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, it can be said that the world of Tang Dynasty is the country and the people.Therefore, the status of generals has gradually decreased, while the power of civil servants has increased dramatically every day.

This didn't just happen in the Tang Dynasty, it happened in all dynasties.That is to say, the principle that military generals rule the world and civil servants rule the world.

Once the world is peaceful, the usefulness of military generals will not be reflected, and governing the world is the specialty of civil officials.So naturally there will be a situation of ebb and flow.

Li Zhi didn't know this truth, so he said: "You two don't need to quarrel about this matter. Don't say that the household department can't come up with extra food and grass. Even in a short time, if you want to gather [-] capable troops, It is by no means an easy task.”

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Emperor has forgotten about that kid Li Tai. It is definitely not a problem to ask him to pay 10 horses. Moreover, the Emperor can also take this opportunity to ask him for some food and grass."

"When the first emperor went out to fight, that boy Li Tai would bring out hundreds of thousands of grains. Now that the emperor wants to march in person, how can he let that boy hide away?" Cheng Yaojin said to Li Zhi with a smile.

In fact, Li Zhi did not want Li Tai to participate in this matter from the bottom of his heart. Li Zhi has always been inferior to Li Tai in the eyes of the world.

Now I wanted to take advantage of this imperial conquest to change my position in the hearts of the people of the world.If Li Tai is involved again, it will be difficult to achieve Li Zhi's goal.

But the matter has come to this point, Li Zhi really can't refuse this matter.First of all, Li Zhi also knows the importance of the vanguard. If the vanguard is not an elite team, it will be difficult to complete its arduous task.

Furthermore, I don't know how many years it will take to go to the Tubo Kingdom, if it really lasts more than ten years.I am afraid that with the strength of the current state treasury, it may not be able to support it.

So he could only nod his head helplessly, and said: "I really forgot about the emperor, and immediately sent a decree for the emperor to mobilize a vanguard army of 10 horses, and hand it over to the commander of Duke E."

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to issue an imperial edict on this matter. It is only necessary for the Emperor to write a letter in his own hand and send it to Youzhou City."

"As long as King Yan sees the emperor's handwritten letter, not only the vanguard army will send it to the emperor, but also the food and grass will definitely be sent to him at that time." Changsun Wuji said to Li Zhi.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but nodded.He didn't understand what Changsun Wuji meant.

If Li Zhi issued an imperial edict, it would be ordering Li Tai.And Li Zhi wrote his own letter, which is the relationship between the brothers.

There is absolutely a world of difference between the two.Last time Li Zhi ordered Li Tai to send troops to conquer Li Ke, King of Shu.Li Tai only mobilized 5 horses on the grounds that the foreign races in the northern countries had changed.

If Li Zhi is making an order at this time, I am afraid that Li Tai will be the same as last time at most.Sending 5 horses to participate in this campaign is the best result.

So Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then please trouble Uncle to go to Youzhou and hand over my personal letter to Brother Huang."

……

"Jiulang, I heard that there was a little accident when the vanguard general was selected today." Wu Ze asked while rubbing ink for Li Zhi.

"These military generals in the court really make me angry. They are usually very majestic. I can't wait to grow my eyes on my forehead."

"But when something really happens, a few old princes in the court have to contribute. I really don't know what is the use of raising them." Li Zhi said to Wu Ze with a sigh.

"Jiulang, have you ever thought that Chi Gong, the Duke of E, is already old. Is he really competent if he is in charge of the vanguard army?" Wu Ze asked Li Zhi.

"Although this is the case, what can I do now? Is it impossible to let the two elder brothers become the vanguard officials? I'm afraid they are not as good as Duke E." Li Zhi said helplessly.

Even if Li Zhi asked Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers to take up the post of the frontline vanguard officials.I'm afraid Wu Ze would never agree.

"Since Jiulang decided to dispatch one hundred thousand vanguard troops to King Yan, why not let King Yan himself be the vanguard officer?" Wu Ze said to Li Zhi.

"I'm afraid the emperor may not agree. If the emperor rejects me then, where do you want me to put my face?" Li Zhi asked Wu Ze.

"This time you wrote a letter to King Yan. I am afraid that no one other than King Yan would dare to read it without permission. So even if King Yan rejected you, no one would know." Wu Ze said with a smile.

"Zemei is indeed my female Zhuge, why didn't I think of it. This matter will be done according to what Zemei said, and we will talk about whether it can be done." Li Zhi said happily, and then finished writing with a little bit of writing A personal letter.

……

Early the next morning, Changsun Wuji took the letter from Li Zhi and got on the train to Youzhou.At this time, Changsun Wuji was very puzzled.

I don't understand why Li Tai asked him to go to Youzhou, but because of Li Tai's trust, Changsun Wuji still decided to go to Youzhou.

That's why yesterday at the Golden Luan Hall, he suggested that Li Zhi write a letter to Li Tai.Even if Li Zhi didn't ask Changsun Wuji to deliver letters to Youzhou at that time, Changsun Wuji would recommend himself.

In this way, Changsun Wuji arrived in Youzhou City with a feeling of apprehension.And Li Tai had already brought people to meet Changsun Wuji at the train station.

After Changsun Wuji saw Li Tai, he hurried forward to greet Li Tai.Li Tai also took two steps forward, and helped the eldest grandson Wuji who was just about to greet him.

And said with a smile: "Uncle, since ancient times, no uncle has ever paid homage to a nephew. Didn't your worship ruin the life of your nephew?"

"Since ancient times, etiquette cannot be revoked. Although I am your uncle, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I am just a prince. It is a matter of course to salute you." Changsun Wuji said.

"In my nephew's Youzhou City, my uncle is not Zhao Guogong. He is my uncle, King of Yan, Li Tai. If I make a mistake, it is right for my uncle to beat me." Li Tai said to his eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

Then he accompanied Changsun Wuji to Yan Wangfu.Like Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, Changsun Wuji had no other thoughts other than being surprised.

"I said how do you take care of this Youzhou City by yourself. I thought that Mozhou City was already enough to make me puzzled. I didn't expect that compared with this Youzhou City, it turned out to be insignificant." Changsun Wuji sighed Said.

"Uncle, there are many things that shock you. This time I came to Youzhou, I will live here for a few days. Nephew, I will show you something new and novel." Li Tai said with a smile.

The two of them came to Yan Wang's mansion while chatting.Li Tai didn't take his eldest grandson Wuji to his study, but came directly to Qianlongju.

"By the way, you suddenly asked me to come to Youzhou City to see you. What's the matter? Don't tell me that you miss your uncle." Changsun Wuji asked Li Tai.

"I must miss my uncle, but my nephew is not the one who misses my uncle the most. There must be someone else." Li Tai said mysteriously.

Li Tai pushed open the door of Qianlongju as he spoke, and then walked into Qianlongju with Changsun Wuji.

At this time, Changsun Wugou was playing games with Bingxuehanshuang and the four little girls in the yard.Suddenly he saw Li Tai walking in with his eldest grandson Wuji.

On Changsun Wugou's face, two lines of hot tears instantly flowed down.It can be said that Changsun Wugou and Changsun Wuji definitely grew up dependent on each other.So the relationship between the two brothers is definitely not ordinary and deep.

At this time, Changsun Wuji also saw Changsun Wugou, and stood there in shock, at a loss.Because he would never have thought that his sister was still alive.

The eldest grandson Wugou said in a crying voice: "Brother, don't you recognize Guanyin's maidservant?"

"You are really the empress. Didn't you live in Zhaoling with the late emperor? Could it be that you have come back to life again?" Changsun Wuji asked excitedly to Changsun Wugou.

"It is true that the empress was buried with the late emperor, but Guanyin's servant girl and Erlang are still alive." Changsun Wugou wiped the tears from his face and said to Changsun Wuji.

Seeing the suspicious eldest grandson Wuji, Li Tai said with a smile: "This matter is a long story for a child without a mother. When I have time, let my mother talk to my uncle."

"Now Uncle should go with me to meet Emperor Father. It's not me who wants to see Uncle this time, but Emperor Father and Empress Mother."

Changsun Wuji didn't even know how he walked into the room when he saw Li Shimin practicing calligraphy.So he knelt down in front of Li Shimin with tears in his eyes.

……

After long talks day and night, Changsun Wuji already knew the cause and effect of the matter.And kept yelling at Wu Zetian as the demon queen.

And said to Li Shimin: "I have already told Xu Maogong and the others that we should jointly write a letter to the emperor to abolish this demon queen. But these old guys just don't want to take care of this matter."

"Brother, there are some things that humans cannot do. So we can only let it develop, and then find the weakness that can be broken."

"It's not going against the current. Not only will it fail to achieve the effect we want, but it will also cause fire." Li Shimin said to Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, is something going to happen again? You are worried that I will do something stupid, so you specially called me to Youzhou?"

"Brother is right. I'm afraid the whole Tang Dynasty will change soon. Both Erlang and I are worried about my brother's temper, and we will be tricked by others."

"That's why I asked Li Tai to call you to Youzhou, so that I can let you know what happened in advance. I won't do any stupid things in time." Changsun Wugou said to Changsun Wuji.

"Your majesty and empress can rest assured, since Li Tai has already made arrangements. Then I don't have to worry about it. I'd better keep this life and come to accompany the emperor for the elderly in the future." Changsun Wuji said with a smile .

"It's great that uncle can think like this, otherwise I'm really worried that my nephew will fight for me." Li Tai walked into Qianlongju at this time, and said to his eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

"Don't be so talkative, this is a letter written by the emperor today. You can read it." Changsun Wuji took out Li Zhi's letter from his pocket, and handed it to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't even look at it, so he smiled and said to Changsun Wuji: "It's thanks to Wu Ze that he figured it out for me to be the pioneer officer of Zhengyin in the front."

"You don't even read it, you know what is written in this letter? Could it be that you are in the palace?" Changsun Wuji asked Li Tai in shock.

"In the palace, even if I arrange people in, they may not be able to reach the emperor and queen. How can I find out everything?"

"It's just that the father and mother felt sorry for their son and sent the Beidou Nine Guards back to the palace to protect the safety of the emperor." Li Tai shook his head and said to his grandson Wuji.

"So you just follow your plan and let the Beidou Jiuwei pass on the emperor and empress's every move for you. You really won't give up any chance that is beneficial to you." Changsun Wuji said with a helpless sigh.

"Let's not talk about that, today I will take my uncle to see my new weapons. I will also let my uncle understand why I sent 5 troops to take Yizhou City with ease." Li Tai said to his eldest grandson Wuji with a smile .

Li Taike didn't want to show off his strength like Changsun Wuji, but wanted to tell Changsun Wuji through these.I have the absolute ability to control the universe.

Let Changsun Wuji not have to fight meaninglessly, lest he be killed by Wu Ze in the end.At that time, I really had no way to explain to Zhang Sun Chong.

"Don't tell me, it's not just that I'm extremely puzzled by the battle of Yizhou City. I'm afraid that even the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty may not have doubts."

"As for the legend that Li Ke, king of Shu, went against the sky and was punished by God of Thunder. Not many people may really believe it." Changsun Wuji said to Li Tai.

"Brother, you can go and have a look with him. After you have seen it, you will know why?" Changsun Wugou said to Changsun Wuji with a smile.

……

"Brother, you are finally back. You have been here for a whole day, and you should have seen a lot of new things." Seeing Changsun Wuji entering the Qianlong Residence alone, Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"How is this possible? Since he has so many new weapons. Why didn't he just get rid of the demon queen? What is he going to do?" Changsun Wuji said in puzzlement.

These few questions have troubled him for a day, and he asked himself more than once in his heart.I even couldn't help asking Li Tai about it.But Li Tai's answer was a smile without saying a word.

"Don't say that you don't understand, big brother. Sometimes I feel a little bit unbelievable. I am afraid that except for Li Tai, no one in this world with such strength will be convinced by others." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"To put it bluntly, if I have such strength, I'm afraid I may not be willing to be a prince, but why did this kid Li Tai do it." Changsun Wuji said.

"Because he has more plans, his vision is not only on the land of Kyushu. He has even greater ambitions, and he wants Datang to become an empire on which the sun never sets." Li Shimin said.

Then Li Shimin began to explain Li Tai's global strategy to Changsun Wuji.Hearing that Changsun Wuji was stunned for a while, he didn't even know how to interrupt.

……

Li Tai sat in the middle of Yin'an Hall, yawning and listening to everyone's reports.

During this period of time, Li Tai always yawned when discussing matters in Yin'an Hall, as if feeling very tired.Even occasionally take out something and put it in your mouth.

The civil and military officials in the Yin'an Palace naturally wondered what had happened to Li Tai during this time.But Tang Qiang was snickering to himself, feeling that his plan had succeeded.

In addition, Li Tai always asked him for Wushi powder when he had nothing to do, which made Tang Qiang feel that Li Tai could no longer leave Wushi powder.

And since Tang Aoshan met Li Tai last time, Li Tai believed in the five stone powder even more.And now that Tang Qiang has Tang Xiao's support, it makes him even more confident.

Moreover, Wu Ze's intention to appoint Li Tai as the pioneer officer of the front of Zhengyin this time is that with Li Tai's current body, there is absolutely no end to return.

All the news that Wu Ze learned was also notified to Tang Aoshan by Tang Qiang.Since Tang Aoshan saw Li Tai last time, he returned to Wu Ze's side.

But what Wu Ze didn't expect was that Tang Qiang's ambition was no smaller than hers.A small title of King Yan could no longer satisfy him.

At this time, Tang Qiang had even planned to get everything from Li Tai, and then sent troops to Chang'an City to ascend the throne and become the emperor himself.

Moreover, Tang Aoshan was also successfully attracted by Tang Qiang. It can be said that Tang Aoshan has become Tang Qiang's man now.So Tang Qiang's body is close to Huangquan, Tang Aoshan has also been relieved.

In this way, Tang Qiang felt even more confident.He even felt that the world was under his control, and the throne was within reach.

But Tang Qiang underestimated Tang Aoshan too much, even though Tang Aoshan didn't know Li Tai's secrets.But he knew that Youzhou was definitely a powerful force.

No matter who finally owns him, he can rule the world.So he didn't detoxify Tang Qiang from the poison of the underworld at all.It just gave him some antidote to temporarily suppress the toxicity.

And Tang Aoshan's ultimate goal is exactly the same as Tang Qiang's.That is to become the king of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

So on the surface, whether it is Tang Qiang or Tang Aoshan, they are all working for Wu Ze, but in fact they have ulterior motives and hidden evil intentions.If it weren't for Li Tai's insight into the opportunity, I'm afraid the world would really be in chaos.

But who made them meet Li Tai, the protagonist who defies the sky, at the wrong time.So all their plans came to naught in the end.And even his own life will be involved.

But until now, they didn't feel it at all. Instead, they all felt that they had won the battle.You are only one step away from your goal.

　There are still more than ten minutes before 2019. Dragon Soul here wishes everyone a smooth work and a happy family in 2019.In 2019, everyone will fulfill their wishes, and the new year will be our new beginning.Happy 2019 everyone.
