Fu Tang

Chapter 120

Zhao Kuangyin stood in front of the city gate that was wide open, and the wind was turbulent for a while.

He has thought about many possibilities, this time he is betting, he may succeed or fail, if he succeeds, then his fault of sending troops ahead of time without warning can also be offset, if he fails, the big deal is that he will spend his whole life idle, anyway Li Congjia is impossible Back then and then, call off the engagement.

However, he never thought that such a situation would appear, what should he do now?Said he sneaked up and scared everyone away?

If Li Congjia is stupid and crazy, he will believe it. The question is, is Li Congjia stupid?

Not only is he not stupid, but his vision is terrifyingly accurate. Zhao Kuangyin has been analyzing these days, and he found that Li Congjia either didn't make a move, or the timing of his moves was very accurate.

For example, the attack on Ganzhou this time does not seem to be a hasty dispatch of troops, but it seems to have been prepared for a long time.

The problem is that they have just finished fighting the Guiyi Army, and they should shrink their defense line to recuperate at this time. However, Li Congjia is still preparing to fight. This shows that he has long seen that Ganzhou will be chaotic. It is because the rebels who broke out before were all small troubles, and the death of Hue Khan was the reason for the overall collapse of Ganzhou.

Did Li Congjia know that Hue Khan would not live long?is it possible?

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to say it was impossible, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Zhao Pu, who was beside him, saw Zhao Kuangyin's complexion turning bright and dark, and asked, "Master Hou, do you want to report it?"

Because Zhao Kuangyin was granted the title of Marquis of Ziting, all his subordinates changed their titles.

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "Report."

He didn't bring many people with him, but that doesn't mean that there will be no leaks. It's not the case to lead troops back quietly now. It's better to be more straightforward. At least he found out the news.

As Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law, Gao Huaide asked directly, "Master Hou, are we not going into the city?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "You can't enter."

Gao Huaide was a little surprised, but Zhao Pu understood what Zhao Kuangyin meant, and explained: "This is the royal city, and its symbolic meaning is unusual. It would be fine if it was captured, but the palace would not be able to enter. Now that the war has not yet happened, the opponent is obviously If you give up here, the first one to step into the king city will only be the king!"

Of course, he is the king now, and he may become emperor at some point.

Zhao Pu also knew what Tang courtiers called Li Congjia, so he had to admit that this Tang king had a very clear head and was not complacent just because he occupied such a large territory. His goal was very clear from the beginning.

Everyone didn't speak after listening to it. To be honest, they also had some ideas in their hearts. There were quite a few people who wanted to persuade Zhao Kuangyin to go against it again. Zendan was built by the Uighurs with all their efforts. The city walls here are not those Small cities can be compared, even if Li Congjia has so many terrible weapons in his hands, it may not be easy to take this city.

Anyway, they have done it once, so it is better to do it again, occupying the Uighur king city, plus the states and counties they occupy now, may not be able to compete with Tang.

However, Zhao Kuangyin seems to be determined to be attached, which makes everyone do not understand.

This is probably the tacit understanding between the superior and the superior, because Li Congjia's journey is too bizarre and too tortuous. If Zhao Kuangyin is placed in his position, Zhao Kuangyin thinks he can't do this.

When Li Congjia gave up the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Regions, that time was very appropriate. It seemed that he knew that the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Zhou Kingdom would have a battle, and that the Southern Tang Dynasty would lose. A piece of land was created.

Counting down one by one, if Li Congjia can really win the Central Plains in the future, it will be a miracle among miracles.

It is true that the founding kings all have some legendary stories, but Li Congjia's legendary level is a bit high.

No matter how big Zhao Kuangyin's brain is, he never thought that Li Congjia came from time travel. He only thinks that Li Congjia has great luck.

The higher people go, the less they believe in fate, and the more they believe in fate. What they don't believe is the random nonsense of those charlatans, what they believe is what they see with their own eyes and what they hear with their own ears.

Since Li Congjia has great luck, is it because he thinks he didn't die fast enough to die with such a person?

It was impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to tell his subordinates such a mysterious thing. He was just appeasing them as usual, but he also knew that the only thing that could really appease his subordinates was Li Congjia's attitude towards them, or whether Li Congjia wanted to use them.

Of course you have to use it!

Although Zhao Kuangyin's current team is not the team he used to conquer the world in history, at least half of them are there. These people have great potential, and the most important thing is that they are young!

Li Congjia has always been very worried about the age of the cabinet ministers. Now the average age is almost 76, and Song Qiqiu is [-] years old. Zhou Zong and Xu Xuan are two people.

Li Congjia didn't insist on keeping the cabinet with five members, but now the court seems to be a bit out of date, and there are those who are old enough, but in his eyes, none of the five ministers is qualified to enter the cabinet!

The lack of talent is fatal. Of course, it is still possible to pull out generals from among the dwarfs, but Li Congjia doesn't want to let it go. If the cabinet ministers don't make big mistakes, he doesn't want to move easily. After all, it means that there is something wrong with his vision.

But if you don’t move, just choose a few at random now, and wait for the territory to grow bigger and bigger in the future. What should we do when these people are not capable enough?

The people under Zhao Kuangyin can just fill in this gap. As for whether they will do it again, Li Congjia thinks that as long as his brain is clear enough, he will not do it. After all, he has big fists now!

As for those whose brains are not clear, Li Congjia doesn't know how to use them either!

While he was thinking about employing people, Shi Xueting received a message from the intelligence department. He slightly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Li Congjia and said, "Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to Zendan Dan secretly."

Li Congjia's train of thought was interrupted, he looked up at Shi Xueting in a daze for a moment, and after Shi Xueting repeated it, he came back to his senses, thought for a while and said: "Well, I can save a little salary money."

Shi Xueting immediately understood that Li Congjia did not intend to severely punish Zhao Kuangyin, at most he would punish him, which was basically painless to Zhao Kuangyin.

But that's fine, Zhao Kuangyin is new, so it's not suitable for making big moves, otherwise it's easy to make the people under him feel dangerous.

Li Congjia waved to Shi Xueting, and after Shi Xueting came over, he hugged Shi Xueting's waist and raised his head and said: "Wait for the Zendan, you enter the palace with me."

The symbolic meaning of the royal palace is unusual. If Jing Qiong and the others are not stupid, it is impossible to wait for someone to attack the royal palace, or even if they want to attack the royal palace, they have to wait for Li Congjia to come and give the order. Step into the palace.

Shi Xueting knew that this was Li Congjia sharing the glory with him, and stepping into the palace side by side was the best treatment Li Congjia could give him.

Shi Xueting lowered his head and kissed his forehead and said, "You don't have to, you know I don't care."

Li Congjia stood up and buried her face in Shi Xueting's shoulder and said, "But I want to give you the best."

If it is possible, Li Congjia would like to risk the world's disgrace to become a male empress, but after thinking about it, she feels that the title of empress itself is an insult to Shi Xueting. People like him let him sit in the harem... Li Congjia is still worried about Shi Xue Court run again.

The only thing I can do is to share my glory with you. Anyway, Shi Xueting is also responsible for this glory. No one can say anything if he does this. If there is something to say, it is very simple, so that they dare not Just say it.

Shi Xueting looked at Li Congjia tenderly and said, "I know your heart, that's all."

Li Congjia bit his neck and said, "I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you."

Shi Xueting laughed, every time Li Congjia wanted to play tricks on him, he would always bite him first, and of course it was not without consequences.

When he noticed that Shi Xueting's hands were getting more and more irregular, Li Congjia decided to run away, but it was too late, he sent himself to the tiger's mouth, how could the tiger let go of delicious?

The final result was that Li Congjia didn't run away after thumping for a long time. Instead, he thumped himself until he had no strength, so he could only let Shi Xueting do whatever he wanted.

After the affair, Li Congjia lay on Shi Xueting's chest and half-closed his eyes and said, "Zhao Kuangyin is not easy to surrender, the queen's father is not as good as himself as the emperor after all."

Shi Xueting caressed Li Congjia's smooth back and asked softly, "Are you worried about him? Why?"

Shi Xueting was puzzled. From before to now, no matter how powerful Li Congjia met, he never paid as much attention to Zhao Kuangyin. Why?

In terms of strength, Zhao Kuangyin's strength is good, but it is worse than the Uighurs before, otherwise he would not be the King of Loulan of the Uighurs. When Li Congjia regarded the Uighurs as his opponent, he had never been so concerned about gains and losses.

Of course, Li Congjia couldn't say why he was so afraid of Zhao Kuangyin, so he could only say vaguely: "It's nothing, maybe it's intuition, after all, he's a person who has changed his mind once."

Shi Xueting said: "It is precisely because of his rebellion, since he is willing to attach himself this time, it is impossible to rebel easily, otherwise the world is so big that there is no room for him."

But Li Congjia said: "If he really wants to rebel, he will become the emperor himself. If he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent man. Why would he worry about whether there is room for him?"

Shi Xueting paused for a moment and didn't speak. He felt something was wrong. The two of them were discussing other men while they were in bed?

Li Congjia also felt that he talked too much. Although it is said that emperors tend to be suspicious, but it has to be said that emperors with suspicious attributes generally do not have much achievements. Li Congjia does not want to be labeled as suspicious, so it does not matter to his relationship with Shi Xueting. benefit.

So he just sighed and said: "I am worried if there is no one under my command, and I am also worried if my subordinates are too powerful. You said Zhao Kuangyin...is it better to join the Privy Council or the cabinet?"

I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin is capable, and he is good at both papers and martial arts, so when he really returns to the court, he must be given a decent official position. Only a purple pavilion is not enough to reflect the father of the princess concubine. weight.

To this, Shi Xueting only said four words: "Out of the gate, into the prime minister."

Li Congjia raised his upper body to look at him and said, "You mean to let him enter the Privy Council and then be transferred to the cabinet? Isn't that bad? I said that the military and government are separated."

Shi Xueting was stunned for a moment before asking: "Separate completely?"

Li Congjia nodded: "That's right, it's impossible to become a civil servant in the army, and civil servants don't even want to join the military general system. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and there may be exceptions in the future, but I don't want to make an exception now. This is not good for the implementation of the Privy Council. "

Shi Xueting nodded slightly. He also understood Li Congjia's concerns. Li Congjia vowed to separate the military from the government, but let Zhao Kuangyin be the general first and then the prime minister. This is indeed a self-defeating suspicion.

After thinking for a long time, Li Congjia still said: "Forget it, let him enter the Privy Council. At this time, getting him into the ranks of civil servants, even if he enters the cabinet, is obviously distrustful, and it is not good for future development."

Shi Xueting didn't say much, and he was also relieved. He felt that Li Congjia's fear of Zhao Kuangyin was probably due to personal factors, maybe it was the shadow left by his dealings with Zhao Kuangyin when he was in Jiangdu Mansion, but Li Congjia was able to put his personal Factors aside, look at this person more rationally, so that he no longer worries.

Li Congjia continued: "After laying down the delete pill, it is estimated that I will have to recuperate for a while, and there will be a lot of things to worry about at that time, hey."

Shi Xueting didn't say much, it's useless to say anything now, it's not when they built the city in Anning, they were the ones who had the final say at that time, now every thing they do has to be discussed by the courtiers, after all the territory is huge There are more people, and if one hair affects the whole body, the responsibility will naturally be heavier.

So Shi Xueting was even more silent, and only occasionally said a few words when chatting or when Li Congjia was really confused.

Early the next morning, before Li Congjia woke up, Shi Xueting received the latest news after finishing his morning exercise. He hesitated for a moment, checked the time, and then walked over and bent down to wake Li Congjia up in the most special way.

Shi Xueting's kiss was very gentle, but no matter how gentle it was, Li Congjia felt strange. After Yoyo woke up, he did not open his eyes, but stretched out his arms to wrap around Shi Xueting's neck and kissed a little deeper.

It turns out that it's easy to misfire when doing something this intimate early in the morning.

Shi Xueting tried his best to maintain his rationality and said, "There is news from the intelligence department."

Feeling Shi Xueting's gradually rising body temperature, Li Congjia panted and asked, "Is it important or urgent?"

Shi Xueting hesitated for a moment and said: "It doesn't count, now that I know, I will discuss it with everyone at the court meeting."

Li Congjia directly pulled his collar and said, "Then we'll talk about it later."

This wait lasted for more than an hour. After Shi Xueting helped Li Congjia clean up, it was almost time to go to court.

Only then did Li Congjia have the opportunity to ask, "What happened?"

Shi Xueting said: "The Zendan people go to the city."

Li Congjia paused and asked, "What is it?"

Shi Xueting also found it inconceivable: "Jing Qiong ran away with people, and the people of Zendan Dan also ran away after they found out that the high-ranking officials and nobles had run away."

Li Congjia: ...

Do you want to be so weird?Or does Jing Qiong really think she can escape?

Shi Xueting looked at Li Congjia and said: "There is a Dongzhou Uyghur in the west, Jing Qiong may have gone there, and it is estimated that the running time is not short, no one has found a large-scale convoy after such a long time, it may be Scattered away, it's not easy to get back."

Li Congjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's the first time I've heard that there is such a thing. Well, this Jing Qiong can be regarded as... able to bend and stretch, and Zendan has no one left?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "Everyone with some wealth has left, and most of the rest are ordinary people."

In other words, those who stayed were all poor people. Li Congjia felt relieved immediately. It would be better if all the big households left, and something happened when the remaining Li Congjia took over the city.

When Li Congjia arrived, the first thing to discuss was this issue. This was not sensitive news, so all that should be known was already known.

The idea of ​​the cabinet ministers is similar to that of Li Congjia. Ordinary people are the best group of people to appease. As for the small number of people... Anyway, there are not many people in the Western Regions, and Li Congjia doesn't intend to let the population multiply here.

The next thing to discuss is travel. Yes, Li Congjia must leave Jiuquan and enter Zendan Palace.

Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "Zi Tinghou is over there, let him take someone to make an outpost."

The meaning of this outpost is to let Zhao Kuangyin lead people into Zen Dan first, to tidy up a little bit, and tidy up the palace by the way. It would be good if Jing Qiong didn’t set fire to the palace when he left, and it must be messy inside now.

After Zhao Kuangyin received the order, he was relieved. Li Congjia also sent him the punishment, and he really didn't care much about the punishment.

When Li Congjia arrived at Zendan with a group of courtiers, Zhao Kuangyin had almost tidied up the city, and the people were all appeased, and he ran thirty miles away to greet him.

This is the first time he has seen Li Congjia since he was attached. I don't know if it is because of the change of status. He feels that Li Congjia is becoming more and more difficult to see through, especially Li Congjia let Shi Xueting follow him to become the second to enter the palace. This makes many people feel strange.

At this time, shouldn't it be the queen mother entering the palace, or bringing the queen into the palace?But the Empress Dowager and Queen were left in the Jiuquan Palace by him, a monk enjoys this honor, it is really difficult to get in touch with Shi Xueting's beautiful face.

However, with the expansion of the territory and the successive victories of the Tang army, Li Congjia became more and more serious. Even if they had thoughts in their hearts, everyone kept their mouths shut and did not dare to discuss a word, for fear that Li Congjia would be killed if he found out.

When Li Congjia entered Zendan City, he passed by the inn that he lived in back then. Turn over and make the decision directly, and you are going to live in the palace.

As for the Uyghur supreme couple back then, one had been buried in the loess, and the other disappeared with his son. Presumably, when they first met Li Congjia, neither of them thought about this ending.

Zendan's palace is full of Uighur style, and Li Congjia doesn't like it very much. However, if he wants to change it to the Han style, he is afraid that it will cost a lot of money.

What he didn't know was that the matter of not repairing the palace conveyed a meaning to the courtiers: Li Congjia had never thought of living here for a long time.

It’s a very simple truth, even if you buy a second-hand house with decoration, you still want to decorate the house as you like before you live in it, but Li Congjia basically didn’t change it, just like a renter, of course his reasons are very good. Powerful because there is no money.

Does Li Congjia actually have no money?How can it be?The caravan in his hand will bring him a very high income every time, but everyone knows that part of the income is used for the queen mother, queen and prince, and the other part is given to Shi Xueting, and then used in Tiance Mansion and Firearms Army.

The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is still too weak, and Shi Xueting's treasures have been spent almost the same. It is estimated that Tang Xuanzong buried this jewel at the beginning to make future generations feel comfortable.

The recovery ability of the people is very strong. No matter how you look at it, Datang’s current systems are very humane, much better than when Hue Khan was in power. Basically, as long as you have hands and feet, you are willing to work. , then you can survive.

No matter which race it is, the acceptance of rulers who can keep them alive is very high. Within two months, Zendan's original business has recovered by 80.00%.

In the process, Li Congjia also successfully integrated Zhao Kuangyin's resources into Datang. Li Congjia did a very grand thing-he didn't touch the cakes that Zhao Kuangyin once distributed to his subordinates. , instead gave those people varying rewards, which greatly appease the uneasy hearts of these people.

Whether it is the court, the people under the rule or even the army, they have all reached a point. Even if they want to enter the Central Plains, they must recharge their batteries!

After there were no major events, Li Congjia began to feel bored after dealing with those trivial matters every day. He couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go abroad in a micro-service!

Shi Xueting disagreed, and Li Congjia swore: "Anyway, Zeng Dan is now a royal city, and I don't even know what Zen Dan looks like as a whole."

Shi Xueting was unmoved and just asked: "It's impossible for you not to have seen it when you came here." He didn't want to restrict Li Congjia's freedom, the main reason is that now Zendan looks like a mixed bag, so let's just go out in an open and honest manner. Private visits on Weibo... No matter how you look at it, it's unreliable.

It seemed to be true, but Li Congjia quickly changed his strategy, leaned into Shi Xueting's ear and said, "Why haven't you two gone out alone for a long time, don't you want to?"

This time Shi Xueting was moved. Indeed, he and Li Congjia were alone in the room, and rarely outside. Li Congjia shamelessly acted like a baby when he saw his emotion.

Shi Xueting couldn't bear it anymore, so he agreed, and what Li Congjia said successfully moved him: "Even if something happened, wouldn't there be you?"

Facts have proved that Tang Wang's crow's mouth attribute has not disappeared with the increase in status. This time, they really almost folded out of this private visit.

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: I suddenly found an idiom that is very unsuitable for children.

Shi Xueting: What?

Li Congjia: Brake with stillness.

Shi Xueting: ...
