Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian looked at the flames over there, touched his chin and said, "Ocean fire?"

Zheng Qi originally came out to preside over the overall situation, but when he saw that the officers and soldiers were all orderly going out to meet the enemy and guarding the city, Zheng Qi turned to look at Li Xian: "I expected it? "

Li Xian said with a smile: "Zadei was scared away by me for two days, and then he was trapped by a minefield. He must be very irritable now. If it were me, I would organize a sneak attack. Of course, this is not acceptable. Well, I'm just keeping everyone ready all the time."

Zheng Qi nodded: "Good job, leave it to us."

"Hey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, anyway, I am too..."

"Shut up." Zheng Qi raised a hand to cover Li Xian's face directly: "Go back and rest well, do we still need your hard work?"

Li Xian had no choice but to watch Zheng Qi turn around and leave, and went back to the room by himself. At first, he thought that the other party had come to attack him and he would definitely not be able to sleep, but what he didn't expect was that in his heart, Zheng Qi was extremely A reliable existence, he fell asleep quickly when he closed his eyes.

The next morning when Li Xian got up and came out, he could still smell the burning smell. Zheng Qi was wearing a purple uniform, and the rising sun was behind him. Like coming out of the sun.

Even though he knew that the clothes above the third rank were all in purple, but the styles and decorations of the clothes were different, Li Xian still felt for a moment that the two of them were wearing couple outfits.

"Why are you up so early?"

Li Xian looked at the inconspicuous blue color in Zheng Qi's eyes and asked, "Didn't you sleep all night?"

Zheng Qi didn't say a word, but took Li Xian's hand to eat breakfast. To be honest, eating breakfast leisurely on the front line of this desolate battlefield still gave Li Xian an unreal illusion.

However, Zadei will not let his illusion last for too long. After the sneak attack last night was repelled, Zadei started to bring troops over early in the morning.

Li Xian wiped his mouth and felt a little unbelievable: "Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Generally, what needs to be done after consecutive setbacks is to let the army rest. Although it cannot be said that he has lost a battle once or twice, losing to the opponent again and again will damage morale.

"It's probably because of the pressure from inside Dashi." Zheng Qi slowly washed his hands and rinsed his mouth.

"Aren't you going to have a look?"

"Director Gao has already gone." Zheng Qi glanced at Li Xian and said, "Wait, I'm going to write a memorial, together?"

Li Xian felt that he had nothing to report, but Zheng Qi seemed determined not to let him run forward, and he had nothing else to do except accompany Zheng Qi to write memorials, so he nodded.

On the other side, Gao Kan, who is in the process of reorganizing the army, is almost overwhelmed. It's great. Finally, someone who can control His Highness the King of England has come. Li Xian has been taking risks these two days, and Gao Kan has also endured a lot. Now that the chaotic god is finally suppressed, Gao Kan can go to the battlefield with peace of mind.

Strictly speaking, the results of what Li Xian did were generally very good, often exceeding his own expectations, but even if he defeated Tubo, Gao Kan still felt that His Highness was unreliable. It is also a miraculous impression that will accompany Li Xian for the rest of his life.

Zheng Qi wrote the memorial very quickly, and after finishing writing, the two of them started chatting, and Li Xian began to ask about various changes in the court. Of course, he was more concerned about Zheng Jin and Fatty Bai.

Speaking of Zheng Jin, the smile on Zheng Qi's face became even bigger: "That stinky boy, for some reason, he has an affinity with your white tiger, and often runs over to talk to the white tiger."

Talk to the white tiger?Li Xian imagined a scene where the young lady sat there and said "Oh" to the white tiger, and couldn't help laughing.

Children and pets always make people soft-hearted. Li Xian suddenly felt homesick. He lay lazily on the couch and said, "When will this battle be over?"

To be honest, unless Dashi and Datang are really hurting both sides, probably the two sides will temporarily establish diplomatic relations and peace, otherwise it must be a kind and grudge from generation to generation, unless one side is wiped out.

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian looking out of the window and didn't know what to say for a while, after all, no one thought that after defeating Sasan Persia, he would have to fight Dashi to death, everything was thought of in the previous preparations but ignored Dashi, this is their mistake.

However, Li Xian's sensibility probably didn't last for a cup of tea, and after this period of time, he started to toss again.Fortunately, Zheng Qi could hold him down, and Gao Kan was more reliable. After two days, no matter how Zadei jumped, he still couldn't enter the dilapidated city gate of Basra.

At this time, Xue Rengui finally arrived with a large army.When Xue Rengui arrived, Li Xian asked the people below to clean up a slightly shabby reception banquet. There was no way, there was nothing good in this dilapidated place, and the cook who Li Xian brought here spent a lot of effort to make this banquet .

Fortunately, Xue Rengui didn't care about this. They had been marching for many years and they knew where and what was going on. They didn't go out to fight for pleasure, so they didn't care about it.

During the meeting, Xue Rengui asked Li Xian about their experience in Moyanshiqi. Li Xian had already explained to Zheng Qi before, so Gao Kan was the keynote speaker this time.

When Li Xian told Zheng Qi, he described it dryly. Basically, he told Zheng Qi that they entered Moyan Shiqi and the guide cheated them to get lost, and then he found the oasis. He finished it in a few words. When the son arrived at Gao Kan's place...he...he talked about the whole meal.

In the end, Li Xian felt that it would be good for Gao Kan to tell stories if he stopped fighting. Dear, who is the King of England you are talking about?Which dynasty?Why does it sound so different to me?Don't you feel bad for you fooling the general in front of me?

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian's horrible expression and couldn't help but smile. Li Xian kept trying to intervene but failed, so he could only bury his head in the sidelines. Let alone Gao Kan's eloquence is really good, and Zheng Qi also listened to it. It would be even better if Gao Kan's calm, calm, witty protagonist and the foodie in front of him were not connected.

Xue Rengui was also confused after listening to it. He had already prepared to meet a embarrassed King of England, but when he came here, he found that his little life was very nourishing. Isn't this style of painting quite right?

After being stupefied, Xue Rengui suddenly asked a question: "Marshal, do you still remember where the oasis appeared?"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Gao Kan: "I don't really remember, I... don't remember the way too much, does Manager Gao still remember?"

To be honest, Li Xian has been in great pain since he crossed. It’s not that he doesn’t remember the way, but he often can’t tell the difference between east, west and north. The ability to distinguish directions is almost top-notch, and he has not practiced this skill for so many years.

Xue Rengui turned his head to look at Gao Kan, Gao Kan thought for a while and then described the place to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui pondered for a while after hearing this, looked up at Zheng Qi, and found that Zheng Qi looked at him calmly and couldn't help but said: "But... …When we passed Moyanshiqi, we didn’t see that oasis.”

After listening hard, Li Xianzheng looked up at Xue Rengui and said, "We got lost at that time, the route we took was different from yours."

"No." Zheng Qi suddenly said: "We also passed by the location of the oasis you mentioned, and we didn't see the oasis."

After Li Xian heard this, he couldn't eat any more. He looked up at Zheng Qi for a while before saying, "Are you sure?"

Zheng Qi nodded, Li Xian wiped his face and said, "Probably... the oasis has moved."

Gao Kan looked at him with crazy eyes, Li Xian's mouth twitched: "Don't look at me like that? I don't know why."

Both Xue Rengui and Gao Kan felt that this matter was particularly miraculous, but seeing Li Xian's tired expression and Zheng Qi's calm expression, the two of them ignored this topic by coincidence.

But they ignored it... The soldiers below didn't ignore it. Within a few days, the oasis appeared and disappeared inexplicably and became the main topic of gossip. In this era, information is very underdeveloped. This is how many folk tales have been passed down from generation to generation to great-grandchildren, and all kinds of gossip in the military camp is probably the main way for everyone to relax.

Li Xian couldn't and couldn't stop it, so he planned to deal with it as a normal matter.It's just that at Zheng Qi's place, he really regarded this matter as a normal thing. After all, he saw Li Xian flying out of a Phoenix Emperor after offering sacrifices, so no matter how miraculous things Li Xian did, he would not will feel strange.

After Xue Rengui came, Zadeyi was suppressed and beaten in various ways. Now, what Li Xian and the others are worried about is not whether they can hold Basra, but what to do next?

Basra was originally the land of Dashi. Should they continue to attack Dashi, or stop and make Dashi pay compensation and then return the occupied Dashi land?

Li Xian sat in the main seat and did not speak for a while. When Xue Rengui and the others were discussing and planning to leave this matter to Li Zhi to worry about, Li Xian suddenly asked, "Zadeyi has a tendency to surrender?"

Xue Rengui and Gao Kan looked at each other, and shook their heads in unison, Li Xian spread his hands: "That's easy, they didn't even think about surrendering, so what's the point, they can only continue fighting, fight!" until they give in."

Although we accidentally attacked your territory first, you can protest, if you don’t protest, just go to the border of Chen Bing and don’t blame us for beating you.

Well, Li Xian is so unreasonable now!

But Xue Rengui said: "General Manager Pei is now leading troops to encircle and suppress the rebel bandits. I'm afraid that the military needs will be tight."

Xue Rengui is definitely not a person who retreats after fighting for so many years. However, he is worried that the two-line battle will have too much impact. After all, the Turks are not easy to deal with. If they are really easy to deal with, Liu Shenli will not be defeated. captured.What's more, the rebellion in 24 states is equivalent to a loss of tax revenue in 24 states, which is not a small sum of money.

Gao Kan understood Xue Rengui's meaning very well. He had more contact with Li Xian, so he was more casual: "My lord, if the Ministry of households is stuck with military supplies, I'm afraid that we will be the weakest at that time."

Not only that, they must be the first to be blamed after losing the battle, not others. This is the truth of Xue Rengui and Gao Kan's hesitation.

After hearing this, Li Xian sneered: "They dare? Those 24 states are located in remote areas, and they are usually not the biggest taxpayers, because if the 24 states are reversed, they will be blocked from our military supplies. If they dare to block, I will dare to participate!"

Xue Rengui and Gao Kan recalled Li Xian's previous achievements, and they were silent. Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian with a smile and said, "Since the king has already made up his mind, we don't have to worry about it. The Ministry of Finance won't be so blind." of."

Li Xian is not the most favored among the princes, but he is not something that can be ignored casually. Besides, the emperor has only three sons left, and none of them can be ignored. If the household department is not stupid, they will not be stuck. military supplies.

The more Li Xian thought about it, the more he felt wrong, and when he got back, he dragged Zheng Qi over and asked, "Do the two of them have other intentions?"

I always feel that Xue Rengui and Gao Kan are not cunning and cunning, and their thinking must not be straight. He must not dare to get stuck in the household department. Xue Rengui and Gao Kan really don't know?

Zheng Qi patted Li Xian's head and said, "No, they just want peace of mind."

Although Li Xian was the chief general, if he was really in danger or had a problem, Li Zhi would definitely let him go back with Li Xian's memorabilia, that is to say, Li Xian was probably the only one among them who had a way out.

Similarly, Xue Rengui and Gao Kan also want to hold on to this trump card tightly, at least they don't have to worry about being put on small shoes when Li Xian is here.Li Xian understood what Zheng Qi meant in an instant, and didn't take it to heart. The most fearful thing for a general going to war is that someone in the court will hinder him. Pretty good thing.

With two general managers and one deputy general, Li Xian felt like doing nothing in the future. Before the battle started, they would discuss how to fight every day. After the battle started, Li Xian would sit in the rear, and the three went to the front line to fight against Dashi. .

The three generals divided their troops into three groups, Zadeyi was beaten and retreated steadily, and had to ask for reinforcements at the end, but at this time Zheng Qi had already led the soldiers to occupy Damascus.

Li Xian was in the back to supervise the food and supplies, while strictly restraining the soldiers while appeasing the towns along the way, he also wrote a letter to Li Zhi to ask Li Zhi for a tiger squatting cannon.

Before Dashi was too weak, Li Xian thought that Dashi and Byzantium might be fighting each other so he didn't draw his hand for a while, but at this point, if Dashi doesn't turn around, even Cairo will be beaten down. up.

Li Xian thought that there might be a fierce battle in the future, and the preparations must be sufficient!

When Li Zhi received Li Xian's letter, he was quite helpless. He just asked his son to fight Sassanid Persia. As a result, his son brutally led people to Dashi, while Pei Xingjian and the Turkic people were still confronting each other. Well, comparing the records of the two sides, there are some who can't understand Pei Xingjian and start secretly ginseng, but these petitions are all suppressed by Li Zhi.

After the number of letters reached a certain level, Li Zhi became a little angry, just in time for Pei Xingjian to kill and retreat several groups of Turkic soldiers in Montenegro, with tens of thousands of heads.Li Zhi took advantage of the opportunity and publicly stated at the Dachao meeting: "Pei Shouyue is determined to be firm and considerate, brave and insightful, and his secrets are long-term. The strategy is first determined internally, and the success is achieved externally!"

This is a public expression of support for Pei Xingjian, and after this incident, Li Zhi suddenly felt that the Yushitai should be cleaned up. In Li Zhi's view, the Yushitai is indeed responsible for picking up all officials, but it is the emperor when necessary. A knife in his hand, now that the knife is disobedient, it should be sharpened.

So Li Zhi resolutely transferred Dali Prime Minister Di Renjie to Yushitai to serve as Yushi.

Of course, there was a story about Di Renjie before he became a censor, and Li Zhi didn't just let someone become a censor casually.In the first year of Yifeng, the general Quan Shancai and Fan Huaiyi, the general of the right prison gate Zhonglang, accidentally cut down the cypress tree in Zhaoling. They were about to be killed. At that time, Di Renjie was the prime minister of Dali, and he happened to be a professional counterpart. He directly wrote a letter stating that the two people were not guilty of death.

Li Zhi was so angry that he was half dead, and said angrily: "It made me an unfilial son, so I must kill him."

Di Renjie also said very stubbornly: "In the Han Dynasty, there was a family who stole the jade ring from the high temple, and Emperor Wen wanted to be the family. Zhang Shizhi's court said: "If you want to take a piece of land from Changling, how can you add it?" So the crime was stopped and the market was abandoned. Your majesty's law is like that of Wei, which is inherently inferior. If you don't commit a crime, you will die, why? Today, you mistakenly cut down a cypress and killed two ministers. Why do future generations say that your majesty is like the master?"

I have to say that there are reasons and evidences, even Li Zhi could only endure it and let those two people go, but there is a saying that death crimes can avoid life crimes, and in the end these two people died, but they died without any doubts. Even Di Renjie can only forget about the traces.

However, Di Renjie left a deep impression on Li Zhi. As an emperor, Li Zhi's mind is undoubtedly extremely broad, so he remembered Di Renjie and directly promoted him to serve as a censor.

Li Xian was very excited when he received the news, hey, I'm going, finally a famous person came to the stage.Di Renjie, that is a well-known detective!

He couldn't hold back and wrote a letter to Zheng Qi. When Zheng Qi received the letter and read it, he began to think about how to gently remind his family Ah Shi not to commit crimes.

What does it mean to finally have another celebrity he knows come to the fore?Did he think Di Renjie appeared out of nowhere?Di Renjie entered the officialdom after taking the examination of the Ming Jing Ke. In the first year of Yifeng, he was transferred to Zuo Weiwei... How indifferent is Li Xian to the government?

Li Xian touched his head after receiving Zheng Qi's letter. He really didn't care too much, because there are too many officials in Datang, and it is impossible for Li Xian to know their names to a certain extent. That is to say, Di Renjie ... Cough cough, the grade before was not high enough, although Dali Cheng was not low, Li Xian hadn't paid attention to it.

But Di Renjie will have to endure it for a while, after all, Li Xian remembers that he was a famous figure in the Wu Zhou period.Now it is estimated that it should be similar to Zheng Qi, with various qualifications, and then go up step by step, but Zheng Qi has already served as the governor, Di Renjie should not have it yet?

Just when Li Xian felt that Di Renjie was still keeping a low profile, Di Renjie did something very high profile. It wasn't long before he became a censor that he joined two people.

The first one is Si Nongqing Wei Ji. Wei Ji had previously supervised the completion of Suyu, Gaoshan, Shangyang and other palaces. The reason Di Renjie joined him was that Wei Ji built the palaces too magnificently, and then... Wei Ji was killed. Dismissed from office.

To be honest, Li Xian felt that he was wronged by this person. At this time, Wei Ji was also in charge of the general and the second secretary of the Shaofu. In the past, when Ji was expanded, Wei Ji built four convenient houses on the left and right sides of the palace, and built Suyu, Gaoshan, and Shangyang palaces, making Li Hong's tomb very magnificent.

And that's what Di Renjie participated in. Strictly speaking, Wei Ji followed Li Zhi's ideas, and as a result...he was impeached.The most deceitful thing is that no one in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty spoke up for Wei Ji, so Wei Ji was dismissed from office just like that.

After participating in Wei Ji, Di Renjie turned around and joined Zuo Silang Wang Benli, who was domineering and domineering, and asked to be handed over to the judicial department for trial.Li Xian didn't like Wang Benli very much. If he used one word to describe this person, he would probably be an official.

But... Strictly speaking, Wang Benli is from Empress Wu. Although his surname is Wang, he has nothing to do with Li Zhi's original wife, the Wang family. Now that Di Renjie is a member of Empress Wu, I don't know what Empress Wu will do.

Who knows that Empress Wu did not act, but Li Zhi expressed that he would forgive Wang Benli. After all, Wang Benli himself is a bit talented. In Li Zhi's opinion, he could bear that flaw, but Di Renjie couldn't bear it, so Di Renjie said righteously. There is a widely circulated saying: "The imperial court borrows from the lack of virtuous people, and there are many who are as good as they are. Your Majesty regrets that he is guilty, and the loss is a law. What can I do? I would like to reprimand first and serve as a warning for all the officials."

This is the second time that Li Zhi has nothing to do with Di Renjie and can only ask Wang Benli to make up for the crime.

Li Xian looked at the letter Li Lun wrote to him, but felt confidently that Di Renjie was the new official's first three fires. Although only two fires were fired, they were all enough. No one would underestimate Di Renjie.

Just when Li Xian was gossiping about Di Renjie, Luoyang came to order Li Xian to go back temporarily.And this time is already the winter of Yifeng's fourth year, and it seems that the Chinese New Year will be two months away. The war between Datang and Dashi has fallen into a stalemate in Damascus, and it will not be easy to fight any further, and Li Zhi The meaning of this is not to want to win Dashi, so now the court has begun to discuss how to sign a contract with Dashi.

If it was a negotiation, it was indeed Li Xian's business, but what Li Xian didn't expect was that Zheng Qi would go back.

In Zheng Qi's own words: "It doesn't matter if I stay here."

It's just that what Li Xian didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to Luoyang, he caught up with a big drama-someone stood up and accused Prince Li Xian of deliberately murdering the admonishing doctor Ming Chongyan.
