Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian and Li Xian, who were happy, were poured cold water on their heads, so they could only rush to the meeting in a hurry. At this time, Li Zhi's place had already caught up with the scale of a small court meeting.

After Li Xian went in, he sat there waiting for information, but he couldn't figure it out. Why did someone suddenly rebel again?Enough support?Of course, they have already rebelled, so what we need to know now is how the situation is, how many people are on the other side, and who we send to counter the rebellion.

When Li Lun came over, he saw Li Xian carefully sitting beside him, and asked softly, "Brother Seven, what's going on?"

Li Xian shook his head, he also wants to know, okay?But looking at the faces of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, he knew that this was not a trivial matter. Li Zhi has been emperor for so many years, and he has experienced ups and downs. It can be said that since he succeeded to the throne, there have been constant wars inside and outside the Tang Dynasty. He should be getting used to alien rebellion.

As a result, this time Li Zhi couldn't even show his emotions and anger. The whole person's air pressure was frighteningly low, and the expression on Empress Wu's face was also very serious. If a timid person came over, the aura of this couple would scare people to tears!

Of course Li Zhi was not happy. He had issued an edict before saying that he would enshrine Songshan Mountain, but the Turkic people turned against him. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

The atmosphere was too depressing, Li Xian decided that it would be better if he waited for a while and be as quiet as a virgin, anyway, it's not his turn to take care of this matter.

When almost everyone had arrived, Li Zhi called Shi Xiao Siye, the Chief Protector of Shanyu Dadu, to describe the situation.When Xiao Siye came up, he could tell at a glance that his body was still wounded, and he looked a little miserable.

When Xiao Siye arrived, he knelt down and said yes: "I have failed the Emperor's high hopes."

Li Zhi said with a straight face: "Stop talking about this, let's talk about the situation."

Xiao Siye bowed his head and said: "Turkic Astra Wenfu and Astra colluded with the leaders of 24 states, and made Ashina Khan the Khan, and the number of rebels reached hundreds of thousands."

What Xiao Siye said was dry, without any modifiers, but even this made everyone somewhat restless. The current territory of the Tang Dynasty has more than 400 states and less than 24 states. This is after the occupation of Tubo. The number, it sounds like [-] do not seem to occupy a large proportion, not much, but you can't just look at the number, the northern state capitals are relatively large due to geographical reasons.

"What else?" Li Zhi's expression was very ugly.

Xiao Siye said with an expression of wanting to commit suicide in court: "At the beginning of the rebellion, the criminal minister and the right leader Wei General Hua Dazhi, the right Qianniuwei general Li Jingjia and others led troops to conquer. At that time, the situation was stabilized. Laxity, it happened to be snowing heavily, and the rebels took the opportunity to sneak attack..." Xiao Siye bowed down deeply at this point: "It is the fault of the guilty minister, and the minister is willing to accept the crime."

As soon as Li Xian heard it, he knew why Li Zhi was angry. Damn it, it's okay if you didn't react when Ashdwin Fu and the others rebelled at first, but after leading people to stabilize the situation, you were defeated by a sneak attack!

However, Li Xian also knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the opponent had the blessing of heavy snow, so there was nothing he could do about it.Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but secretly resent him. Before he fought several times, he brought people to rely on God to reward him, and caused some natural disasters and man-made disasters for the other party. Then he fought smoothly. Now that he was used by others, why is he so upset? Are you upset?

But soon the unhappiness turned into anger, because the Turkic people were not satisfied with those 24 states at all, they had already reached Dingzhou with all their might!Li Xian couldn't sit still at that time, because of his experience as a soldier and the influence of Zheng Qi, even a geography idiot like him knew that Dingzhou was not far from Chang'an, and even closer to Luoyang!

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the Turks have started to win over the Xi and Khitan tribes!

After knowing the whole situation, even Li Xian's complexion was not very good-looking, and the atmosphere in the Qianyuan Hall was extremely dignified for a while.Li Lun couldn't bear it because he was young, so he moved a little. He looked at the prince and then at Li Xian and found that the expressions of the two elder brothers were not very good-looking, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

The situation was very urgent. The distance from Dingzhou to Dingzhou was only more than 1000 miles. It sounded very far away, but on the war map, it was already close to the city. This was the first time in many years that Li Zhi was threatened by someone at his doorstep!

Li Zhi looked at Xiao Siye kneeling there and waved his hands, "You step back first."

Now is not the time to pursue Xiao Siye, he must first select someone to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, and then investigate their faults.Li Xian felt a little regretful, Zheng Qi was kicked out to be the governor of Suzhou, he must have no part in this matter.

It is not difficult to choose a candidate to counter the rebellion, but now it is more important to protect Chang'an and Dongdu, and the generals cannot be easily dismissed. The final agreement is that Xue Yuanchao will be the general manager of the Guannei Road march, and Liu Shenli, the left guard general, will jointly fight against the rebellion military.

Li Xian was really as quiet as a chicken from the beginning to the end, and he didn't say a word. During the period, Empress Wu once said: "If not, let the King of England lead a team to attack the Turks."

Li Xian staggered and endured for a long time before resisting the urge to run away, and said: "The current situation is dangerous, I can't take on such a heavy responsibility, and I ask the emperor to choose a safe person to lead the army."

I beg my mother not to hurt me!I don't want to lead the army at all!Will the prince who leads the army have any good results?Look at how miserable my father's third brother Li Ke died, I don't want to follow in Li Ke's footsteps!

Empress Wu was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, but she couldn't say anything. She still felt very regretful. Li Xian has a brain and ability, but he is too soft and sticky. If he doesn't push him, he won't take him forward!Although Li Lun is not bad, but he was taken prisoner the first time he set out on an expedition. I am afraid that no one will agree to let Li Lun go again. If he wants to cultivate him, he has to wait for Li Xian to grow up.

The two sons are unreliable. Now the entire Qianyuan Hall is full of military generals, some of them have the title of civil servants, and some even have the title of military generals, but... none of them are Empress Wu.If it is about governance, these people can still enter the Qianyuan Palace, but when it comes to martial arts, although Empress Wu still listens to politics behind the curtain, it is no different from being emptied.

Both Li Zhi and Li Xian are satisfied with Li Xian's understanding of current affairs. It is not that the Tang Dynasty has no generals, and there is no need for the prince to go out to take risks. Whether it is for Li Zhi or Li Xian, Li Xian shrinks to make them warm. Yin is about to do something.

In order to repay Li Xian's understanding of current affairs, Li Zhi said directly: "Suppressing the rebellion is of course important, but defending the capital and the Eastern Capital is equally important."

So with a big wave of his old man's hand, Li Xian became the general of the Jinwu Guard, guarding the capital's eastern capital and the imperial palace, that is to say, where the royal family is, he will guard there.

Li Xian was amazed by this magical pen. The generals of this era are not of the same weight as the generals of later generations. The highest officer of each guard is the general. However, the general is not permanent, oh, not just not permanent, Few were even generals. Li Xian remembered that the most famous one was his cheap grandfather Li Erfeng, who was named General Tiance.

Naturally, some people objected to this appointment of Li Zhi. Hao Chujun has always been famous for his direct advice. This time he stood up again: "The king of England is very talented, especially good at fortifications. The emperor's beloved minister dare not make any difference. The general has a high position and heavy responsibilities, and I ask the emperor to think twice."

When Hao Chujun spoke, Li Xian lowered his head, he didn't lower his head in case others would see the expression on his face - everyone thought Li Xian was dissatisfied, but in fact he was very satisfied.

On the surface, Hao Chujun's words were saying that His Royal Highness is not good at this, the emperor, you should think twice, but in fact, what Hao Chujun meant was, the emperor, this official position is too high, you will give it to your son now, and in the future How do you want to seal him off again?

Li Xian gave Hao Chujun a thumbs up silently in his heart, he didn't want to be a general at all, who knows if there will be a change of Xuanwumen after becoming a general, it's going to kill him?

In the end, Li Zhi seemed determined and said simply: "The Jinwu Guard is still assisted by a great general, and the King of England is also in charge of military affairs, so what is there to worry about?"

Hao Chujun didn't speak, thought for a while, and then came to his senses, not to mention him, basically everyone present came to his senses - except Li Lun.

After all, Li Lun didn't have much experience at a young age, and his character was softened by Empress Wu. I don't know if the character of Empress Wu's son has something to do with her status. When her status was not high enough, the first two sons were more powerful. The status of Empress Wu is high enough, but the latter two sons are a bit soft.

Li Zhi's meaning is very clear. Since the general is not permanent, it means that the right to set up the general now seems to be quite powerful, but in fact it is just an empty title-the general of Jinwuwei has been in power. How many years have passed, even if Li Xian became a general, he would have to seize power from the Jinwuwei General to really take power. However, Li Zhi knows Li Xian too well. This guy is a lazy person, very lazy, and especially hates intrigue. Being a mascot would not be willing to fight for power with General Jin Wuwei.

Li Xian and Li Xian were relieved when they understood. When Li Xian just heard that Li Xian was going to be named General of the Jinwu Guard, he also struggled for a while. Similarly, he thought of his grandfather. In comparison, his situation is the same as before. How similar is the hidden prince.But now that I think about it, it doesn't look so similar. Emperor Taizong's military achievements are not comparable to Li Xianneng, and his father is not a great ancestor. What's more, during the Emperor Taizong's time, the Tiance officers and soldiers were all loyal to him, but Jin Wuwei is not familiar with Li Xian.

The meeting was over, and judging from the final results, Li Xian was almost the biggest winner - the title of General is quite nice.

After coming out of Luoyang Palace, Li Lun invited Li Xian to his house for dinner. Li Xian was a little surprised but agreed.When we arrived at Xiangwang's mansion, it was not time for dinner, so Li Lun took Li Xian directly to the study.

"Brother Seven, what does Dad mean? The crown prince is really relieved to let you take the Jinwu Guard?" Li Lun was almost dying of curiosity. He couldn't figure it out why Li Xian didn't move. In his impression, Li Xian It should be to spare no effort to hit his seventh brother.

Li Xian smiled slightly: "It's just a false job, why is he worried?"

Li Lun is not too stupid, he realized it instantly, and then he said very angrily: "How can Daddy be so partial!"

Li Xian's mouth twitched: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Lun was a little sulking: "Brother Seven is clearly better than anyone else, why doesn't father reuse him? Didn't Brother Seven contribute enough to our Great Tang? What's so good about the crown prince? Dad actually spared no effort to protect him Put Seventh Brother away!"

Li Lun almost opened his mouth to say that Li Xian is more suitable to be the prince than Li Xian. To be honest, Li Lun has become Li Xian's brainless fan since the moment Li Xian led his troops all the way to save him, and even more so. What's more, the things Li Xian made are really fresh and fun, and they are also very useful on the battlefield.

Li Xian is obviously better than Li Xian everywhere, what can Li Xian do?Strictly speaking, Li Xian is not that bad to Li Lun, it's just that they are a little older, and there is still a layer of competition, so they are not very close. The reason why Li Lun is like this is because of Li Xian.

Li Xian patted Li Lun's head in surprise and said, "This is the best way, I don't think anything of it, why are you angry?"

Li Xian is a bit of a smug face. After passing through for so many years, I finally got me a fan of the brain, qaq, but the identity of the fan is too sensitive. Others are one fan and ten black. Qianhei, maybe because of this little thing, I'm going to lose my life.

Li Xian shivered for a moment, and decided to have a good talk with Li Lun, otherwise, how many lives would not be enough for such a toss.

Li Lun was still a little bit aggrieved: "Brother Seven is good-natured, didn't he think of arguing with him, he treats a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart like this, but he still has the dignity of a prince?"

Li Xian said seriously: "It's always better to take precautions before they happen. Back when the Emperor of Filial Piety was still there...you were young, so you might not know it. At that time, the situation was chaotic. Friends today may be enemies tomorrow. The national power is booming day by day, and the country must not be harmed by factional strife. The crown prince has a brilliant literary talent and respects corporals. He has supervised the country many times and even my father has praised him.

Li Lun laughed and said: "At that time, I was young but I didn't know everything. Thinking about the things he did back then, he was afraid of retribution, so he just tried to guard against you."

Li Xian was a little helpless: "Okay, I don't want those myself, so don't be angry, you are already married, you are an adult, don't be self-willed."

Li Lun lowered his head after hearing this, Li Xian thought he had listened to it, but he didn't know that Li Lun was feeling sorry for him, he had a good life after marrying his wife, although the Liu family did not have a very prominent family background, but neither would Li Zhi. Kidnapped son, the concubine of Xiang Wang is knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and virtuous, Li Lun got a wife and a flower of interpretation at the same time, life after marriage is not to mention how happy.

It's just that Li Xian is still single now, although he also vaguely knows about Li Xian and Zheng Qi, but in his eyes, Li Xian sacrificed a lot for his father, but in the end his father still favored the prince, and he felt wronged for Li Xian!

Li Xian returned to his own palace after having a meal in Xiangwang's mansion. The Turkic rebellion was surprising, but he didn't worry much. The Tang Dynasty has become used to fighting wars. Although it may not be good to say this, But a teacher who has been fighting for a long time must have his talents, and Xue Yuanchao and Liu Shenli must have their talents too-this time, no one framed them, so Li Xian was not worried at all.

However, just after Xue Yuanchao and Liu Shenli left with their troops, there was news that Xi and Khitan had indeed colluded with the Turks, and they began to attack Yingzhou!

All of a sudden, the flames of war inside and outside the Great Wall became a bit more dignified—it’s okay not to be dignified. This time, the rebellion in 24 states has implicated many court ministers. In the past, other countries or tribes invaded the border, even if they were slaughtered. Well, the imperial court just got a number. To be honest, many people don't have much idea about massacres.

The rebellion within the Tang Dynasty was more concentrated in the south where the barbarians were self-governing. Now suddenly the Turkic rebellion has passed overnight, and the war in 24 states has been provoked at once. These 24 states are all within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they are not autonomous. In the region, many courtier families also served as officials there.

Turkic people are ruthless, those who cooperate will stay, those who do not cooperate will be killed, and some will be killed regardless of whether they cooperate or not. Let's talk about killing people!

This is also the reason why the appointments of Xue Yuanchao and Liu Shenli were issued very happily this time. Although the 24 states rebelled, it is impossible for the imperial court to focus on this.Now everyone is relieved that Tubo was disabled by them. This time the Turkic rebellion they don't have to worry that Tubo will also come and make Datang suffer from the enemy.

But even if Tubo is disabled, the follow-up will be very troublesome. What should the Tubo people do?According to Datang's consistent method, they are taken away. Anyway, those people can't be left in their homeland, but the problem now is that there are too many people in Tubo, and Tubo...although the land is big, it doesn't have a lot of resources. The various natural environments over there are far from those of Datang. It is not easy for Datang to send people there. Who is free to leave their own land and go to a place where the natural environment is not as good as their own to reclaim wasteland? .

More importantly, where would the Tibetans move if they moved away?This is all to be discussed. If it was before, people would still say that the refugees should be allowed to cultivate wasteland, and the policies should be more favorable, and those refugees would be willing.

But the so-called refugees are actually people who lost their houses and land in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Now Li Xian sacrifices to them year after year. It's not easy.

Li Xian thought for a while and came up with a suggestion: do a census!

His reason is also very simple: "If the disasters in the Tang Dynasty decrease sharply today, the population should increase. However, the increase in the count of the household department has not yet reached expectations. I am afraid that there is something hidden in it, and if there are no refugees, criminals can do it."

"No!" Li Xian stood up and said, "The character of criminals is worrying. If there are criminals everywhere, I'm afraid that this place will be unstable."

Li Xian thought about it for a while, and it seems to be the same, but... Lingnan can be used as a place of exile, and Tubo... Actually, it can also be used.

The princes of the imperial court were also very troubled by the issue of Tubo. In fact, the main reason was that the Tubo people were too tough to guard against. If they did not make good arrangements, they might become the next Turks.

Look at how many years it has been since Datang subdued the Turks. This group of naturally rebellious guys surrendered and used Datang's products to feed their people when they couldn't beat them. When they were almost raised, they turned around and rebelled. Raising a dog is better than raising them!

However, it cannot be generalized. The definition of Turkic is too broad. There are many tribes in Turkic. Some tribes are determined to follow Datang. For example, Ashina Daozhen, some tribes just want to become independent , Repeated battles, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated battles.

Datang suffered too much from the Turks, and also suffered a lot from Tubo. Princess Wencheng brought so many good things to Tibet. deal with.

Lesson learned from the past, Tubo can no longer become like Turkic!The final result is that some of the Tubo people moved to the south of the Lingnan area first, and the composition of the south of the Lingnan area is various. There are barbarians, and after there are criminals, they still border the Pyu country. After the Tubo people pass by, let them fight among themselves. I look down on Tubo - when Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty, they beat these barbarians less. As for the criminals, they will give them a little sweetness. If they can suppress Tubo's resistance, they will have the opportunity to be promoted as good citizens. I believe they will work hard.

Just after the arrangement work on the Tubo side was almost done, a bad news suddenly came from Xue Yuanchao's side-Xue Yuanchao and Liu Shenli split into two groups, Xue Yuanchao mainly fought against the Turks, and Liu Shenli led people He rushed to aid Yingzhou.As a result... the person who went to rescue was captured by the Khitans!

Everyone was shocked when the news came out. Liu Shenli had the title of General Zuowei on his body, and he was very eloquent when talking about military affairs before, so why was he captured?

After the initial surprise, Li Xian bowed his head silently and did not speak. He could see that Li Zhi's face was getting darker, and Li Xian's expression was not very good - Liu Shenli is a die-hard fan.This time Li Xian was originally happy that his own people could finally have a place in the army, but he turned around and was slapped in the face!

Compared with Liu Shenli, Xue Yuanchao fought steadily. Although he did not crush the Turkic people, he was gradually regaining the territory occupied by the Turkic people. The contrast between the two sides was too obvious.

Well, now it's not about how Liu Shenli was captured, what should be discussed now is who to rescue.Li Xian made some calculations, now that Tang's foreign wars are basically over, and he is fighting the Turks, so there are still quite a few generals who can be sent out.

Li Zhi decisively sent Lou Shide to Yingzhou to attack Xi and Khitan to rescue Liu Shenli, and then turned his head and sent general Cao Huaishun to lead troops to Hengzhou to guard Jingxing, and Cui Xian to Jiangzhou to guard Longmen to prevent Turkic raids.

Li Zhi learned his wisdom from a fall, and took all-round precautions against the Turks, but he never expected... The Turks not only colluded with Xi and Khitan, but they also colluded with Persia!

In the winter of the third year of Yifeng, in the eleventh month of Wuyinshuo, Persia sent troops to attack Anxi Dufu.

Li Xian: Nima, the Turks really played a big game of chess!What's the matter with this feeling that I can't help but want to lead soldiers to beat them up?
