Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian looked at Li Zhi inexplicably. After Li Zhi said that, everyone's eyes were on Li Xian. For a moment, Li Xian felt that he was going to be roasted to death.

"I... I don't have anything... I want to add... huh?!" Li Xian looked at Li Zhi nervously, wondering why Li Zhi suddenly asked him about the background board, how could he know how to fight.

The problem is... Li Zhi thinks that Li Xian can be trained. Now there is still a list of plans written by Li Xian on Li Zhi's desk. Although the above reforms are just an overview, they seem to be very important to the centralization of imperial power. Useful - all emperors hope that the military power is in their own hands. According to the truth, the prince is not easy to lead the army, but Li Zhi thinks that Li Xian is talented. Any parent is reluctant to bury the talent of their children. .

Although this child is a little imitation, but Li Xian is sensible and obedient, he does not form cliques and does not seek personal gain. Compared with other sons, this son is simply too caring. If they were allowed to choose, they would rather have such a son.

Li Xian didn't express his opinion like this, but Li Zhi felt that he was avoiding suspicion, and his face became more and more kind: "Just say what you think of."

The eyes of the people below were flying wildly, and Li Hong and Li Xian began to ponder the meaning of their father's words.

Li Xian's whole body is numb, what's wrong?What does Li Zhifei want him to say, does it really have any connotations?But... Li Xian rolled his eyes around everyone, wanting to find the answer on others, but after looking around, there was nothing else but the looking eyes *n.

Li Xian: I miss Teacher Zheng so much all of a sudden. If Zheng Qi was present, even just looking at the calm expression in his eyes could make Li Xian feel at ease. It's a pity that Zheng Qi didn't come. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came with another servant. Zheng Qi He was left to work in the ministry.

Facing the attention of the people around him, Li Xian glanced at Li Zhi cautiously, racked his brains and thought for a while before saying, "That... how to deal with the Goguryeo people captured during the crusade?"

Li Zhi thought for a while and said directly: "Send Si Ping Taichang Bo Suina to die!"

Uncle Si Ping is the newly appointed Yang Fang. After hearing this, Li Xian was a little surprised. This kind of thing...why did he let the Minister of Industry go?Shouldn't it be the Minister of the Household Department?It can be seen from this that in the Tang Dynasty, the officials did not just stare at their own one-third of an acre of land. Basically everyone was a socialist.

After Li Xian finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhi eagerly, and only hoped that this cheap father would stop asking him, and if he continued to ask him, he would really wonder if he had accidentally done something to make Li Zhi suspicious.

Fortunately, through this questioning, Li Zhi knew Li Xian's level to some extent—probably the level of talking on paper, so he let him go very happily.

After Li Xianshen returned to the palace, he didn't understand what he was going to do today. After returning, Li Xian wanted to catch up on sleep, but he couldn't sleep again, and he seemed a little irritable.

Then...he received a notice from Li Zhi: Your Wang Fu...was laid off again, oh, he left again.

Li Xian: ...

The prince's Taishi, Taifu and Taibao are very stable, and Pei Wangfu has never been changed since the beginning, so why is his Wangfu kept changing?Will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think that his Wang Fu is a consumable?

Li Xian felt a little bad all over, and instantly felt...Wang Fu or something...it's better not to come again, anyway, no matter who comes, it is impossible to replace Zheng Qi's position in his heart.

Li Zhi is also a little worried. Yan Liben is indeed very old, and it seems that he is about to become an official. It is not appropriate for him to teach Li Xian, and now Wang Fu is more of a supervisory role for Li Xian. , teaching can’t teach much—his son studies recipes today, water conservancy tomorrow, and military affairs the day after tomorrow. Which Wang Fu can keep up with such leaping thinking!

Even though the royal family's cultivation of their sons is multifaceted, there is still a general tone. Li Hong, as the crown prince, is naturally an overview, while Li Xian and Li Xian are assistants on both sides. The most talented among the sons, Wen is assisted by Li Xian. As for Wu... To be honest, the prince will generally not let him touch military power, that is to say, he can understand, but he cannot really have power. As for Li Xian's The title, it is really just a honorary title, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

It's just that Li Zhi also intends to take a look. Li Hong's military talent is mediocre. In fact, Li Zhi himself is not very good at it, but he has a good father. This is also related to the open policy of the Tang Dynasty - Li Jinxing, who sent troops this time, is from Mohe. He is the son of Tudiji and the leader of the Mohe people. contribution.

Speaking of it, he should be very happy to let Li Jinxing go to fight Goguryeo. The Mohe tribe and Goguryeo have a national enmity and family hatred. If it hadn’t been attacked by Goguryeo, Tudiji would not have been forced to run to Fuyu City. To ask for the imperial court, of course, Tudiji Neifu was actually the Sui Dynasty at that time.

However, after the Tang Dynasty was changed, Tudiji still followed the boss very honestly, and he went to fight as soon as the boss asked him to go out. He also contributed a lot to the stability of the border of the Tang Dynasty. It was precisely because of this that Li Zhi actually He admired Li Jinxing very much, so this time he sent Li Jinxing to fight, Li Jinxing should be able to bring him good news.

The Li family won the world immediately, but it is not a good thing that the descendants are weaker than each other. Li Zhi knows that he is a benevolent king at best, but he often lacks a kind of decisiveness, although it is not true. Indecisive but not so tough.

The more this is the case, the more he wants to cultivate a tougher successor. His generation is enough to recuperate, and the next generation cannot continue to be weak. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the central government to centralize power. The most important thing is that the military power is likely to be left behind. .

Now it seems that Li Hong can't meet Li Zhi's expectations. Li Xian is more comprehensive, but he doesn't see any talent in military affairs. Now Li Xian is born out of nowhere... He wants to cultivate it, in the hands of his own family It's better than being in someone else's hands, and he can see that Li Xian is actually a lazy person with no ambitions. Even if he controls part of the military power, it won't have much impact on Li Hong's crown prince. If it's Li Xian...then it's not sure, Li Zhi doesn't want the Xuanwumen Change to be staged on his son, so he can only find a safe person, the military power is better in the hands of his own family than in the hands of others !

It's just that he has to look at it now. The war with Goguryeo shouldn't be very difficult. It's just a group of bereaved dogs. It's just a good time to take this opportunity to let Li Xian participate more in discussing the military situation, and train him to see if he has any skills in this area. talent.

It can be said that Li Zhi has broken his heart for his sons. His own health is getting worse and worse. After everything has been arranged, these four sons are the only ones left of his eight sons. There must be no problems with these four sons.

It's just that God didn't seem to hear Li Zhi's heartfelt voice. Li Hong's health... got worse and worse with age. Before Li Zhi was in poor health, he ordered the prince to supervise the country. It can be said that part of the government affairs were handed over to the In the hands of the prince, let the prince handle it, and Li Zhi is just the person who is the last gatekeeper-of course, those government affairs are only a small part, and more parts are handed over to Empress Wu.

Li Hong was naturally full of grievances before. He thought that he had grown up, and he could handle many things even if he couldn't be alone. A Niang should "return the government" to him. It can be said that Li Hong had secretly regarded Empress Wu at this time. It's the object of power struggle, but he himself didn't realize it.

It's a pity that his health is not good, and he still has no children after being married for so long. It's not a good thing for the prince to be empty for a long time, even if the princess can't give birth. There is not only such a woman around the prince. problem.

It's just that the prince is just seventeen this year, and everyone hasn't been eagerly staring at this aspect.

Li Hong's body, it is okay to persevere in times of peace and prosperity, but once he encounters urgent matters, such as the sudden military situation this time, he will not be able to hold on. After all, fighting is not a child's play, and many links have to be coordinated Well, the disposal of military rations and horses, the soldiers' weapons, clothing and various supplies, all in all, logistics is a very cumbersome but very important job. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, the appointment of Xiao He as the first meritorious service has fully demonstrated the importance of logistics.

At this juncture, Li Hong was exhausted and sick. He was not in good health. Now that the military situation came, he had to deal with it at any time. He had to get up to deal with military affairs even in the middle of the night. Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't go to work. The imperial father, who has rested and is in poor health, can only carry it by himself-as for Empress Wu, Empress Wu is indeed participating in politics now, but her people have nothing to do with military power.

Li Zhi also has a bottom line for how he can tolerate Empress Wu. He can tolerate Empress Wu meddling in civil governance, but he will never allow Empress Wu to get involved in military power!

After three days and two ends, Li Hong collapsed directly, and once he collapsed, he fell into chaos-the emperor and the prince had no energy to deal with government affairs, so people would naturally panic. It is more reliable. Although people are a little impetuous, the work is done well, but the efficiency is a bit slow. When there are princes and emperors, they can make up their minds, but if it is replaced by these officials... then It's time to talk, and this talk will easily delay time.

Li Zhi is a little helpless, the prince is not in good health and he can't force the prince to work, and the weather is hot and humid recently, and his old problem is a little bit broken, even if he wants to be diligent, he can't support it, and the minister is impossible Make him so hard.

There is no other way, Li Zhi can only issue a Taoist order: order Li Xian and the officials of the East Palace to handle government affairs on their behalf!

After Li Xian found out about this, he felt a little bad. The fight between the crown prince and Li Xian almost came to the fore. Not happy, of course, Li Xian also tripped up the prince, but at that time Li Hong felt a sense of crisis but not very urgent - as long as he walks upright and sits upright, he can have the last laugh, after all He is already a prince, and it is never easy to abolish a prince, as long as he doesn't convulse himself, neither father nor courtiers can abolish him.

And as long as he is not abolished, Li Xian can only be a prince forever.

As a result, at such an important juncture, Li Hong couldn't hold it anymore!It also allowed Li Xian to take the opportunity to share a lot of power!For his own body, Li Hong also secretly hates his body. He has taken care of it all these years. There is a Yaozang Bureau in the East Palace, which is modeled on the Central Pharmacy Bureau. It was just for him to see a doctor, but in the end, he could only keep it like this all these years, and it was even more impossible.

Li Hong was very anxious. The prince was not in good health. It was actually a signal that King Pei and the officials of the Eastern Palace should coordinate the affairs of the court. It meant that if something happened to the prince, King Pei would be the candidate for the next prince. He kept doing small tricks, hooking up with his staff in the East Palace from time to time, but many of the officials in Chunfang, Zhan Shifu, and Chunfang in the East Palace did not work in the central government, that is to say, most of them were just Li Hong's subordinates. Those who work part-time in the central government are generally relatively low-level. Recently, Zheng Qi, who is the same as opening a cheat, has just turned around and ran to be the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

It can be said that no matter how hard Li Xian worked hard in the past, it was impossible to get in touch with many officials of the Eastern Palace, but now the result is better... The saint personally decreed to allow Li Xian and the officials of the Eastern Palace to handle government affairs together. Corner!

The more anxious Li Hong was, the worse his health became. Just as Li Xian saw at the beginning, Li Hong's heart is not very good, but heart disease is still a very difficult disease after more than 1000 years. If you are not careful, you will die. It's over, let alone now.

Li Hong's poor health corresponds to Li Xian's remarkable performance. Speaking of which, having a healthy body is still very important. Li Xian himself is smart and eager to learn. Although he is mediocre in military talent, he knows He didn't command indiscriminately, and he didn't meddle too much in the affairs of the Ministry of War. He was more involved in logistics so that the army would not be constrained outside.

It has to be said that such a Li Xian is very popular, and the generals also appreciate him very much. After Li Hong heard the news, he almost vomited blood.

Among them, Li Xian and Zheng Qi have come into contact with each other more. It's not that Li Xian never thought of wooing Zheng Qi before, but Zheng Qi's background is too powerful, and aristocratic family members can't be wooed casually, let alone ... A person who has won the Jinshi at the age of fifteen or sixteen, among other things, must have a high IQ, and Zheng Qi has a good reputation after entering the central organization, and his methods are even better.

At his age, he is able to handle affairs with ease among a group of veterans, and he handles official affairs with vigor and vigor. He hasn't been in a hurry since the first day, which made many people who were about to watch his jokes drop their eyes all over the place. You have to believe that he does have two brushes.

Now that I have more contacts, Li Xian also has a little admiration for Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi really handles everything, and this person is really a pure minister, that is, he is only loyal to the emperor and does more things. It was to consider Datang's interests, and never thought about forming a party for personal gain.

This time, Li Xian understood why his father was so fond of Zheng Qi. When he promoted the other party, he fully showed that the old man did not abide by the seniority limit of official appointments, so he just threw this young man into a pile. Between the old man and the old man, the facts proved that Li Zhi was definitely not in a daze.

And Zheng Qi... To be honest, as a person who is one step away from becoming the most powerful minister Xuanma and worshiping the prime minister, he should have taken the seats in the previous six departments, and he can hardly be troubled by various things, let alone now. The current situation is not so chaotic. Although there are many factions in the court, except for the Saints and Empress Wu, other forces are not in the right place. Even the prince... Zheng Qi, who has the power in his hand, doesn't think it's worth it. How amazing.

Li Xian was quite moved. When Zheng Qi went to be Li Xian's Wang Fu, he still sympathized with Li Xian. Now... he really wants to sympathize with himself. Although Pei Wangfu is also very knowledgeable and capable, he can still see it. People from the past, but compared with Zheng Qi, they are far behind!

No wonder his silly younger brother has become more and more cunning recently. Presumably, it was Zheng Qi who taught him by example. In just half a year, Li Xian looked quite reborn. If Zheng Qi were his king Fu... Li Xian felt that he should do Better than Li Xian.

It's just that it's not too late now, Li Xian has always been very polite to everyone, and now he has paid enough to be a corporal, and he will ask Zheng Qi for advice when he encounters things he doesn't understand. Look down upon.

Zheng Qi was also unambiguous, Li Xian would answer when he asked him, and explain what needed to be explained, although he was not as diligent as teaching Li Xian, but he did everything he could - after all, Li Xian was more reliable in Zheng Qi's heart.

Li Xian and Zheng Qi had a very harmonious relationship, and Li Hong... Li Hong didn't want to hear this anymore. He didn't want to know how his younger brother would take this opportunity to squeeze his living space after he recovered from his illness.

A Niang is becoming more and more dissatisfied with herself, and she likes the other three younger brothers even more. Her health is not good, she has no sons, and no concubines. It's very bad, the prince's sense of crisis has become more serious, and under such circumstances, he feels that he must win Li Xian over.

Especially after Li Xian made an accurate prediction.

In fact, the so-called prophecy, that's what Li Xian said. After the army of Gao Kan and Li Jinxing was deployed, the court and the central government were very concerned about these two places, and various military reports continued to flow, but the news was spread because the communication system was relatively backward. The speed is not so fast, but even so, the news that Gao Kan defeated the rebels in Yu'an City first, and then beat them half to death in Quanshan still rushed to Beijing.

This is a great victory, a very exciting thing. The only thing that makes everyone think that the fly in the ointment is that the two rebel leaders ran away. Yes, they were Mu Cen and An Shun. Unusual.

As a result, the news that came back later made Li Xian very embarrassing. After the defeat, the rebel army was a bit depressed. It was originally a defeated country. At that time, the rebellion was because they felt that they could not survive, and the Tang army came to them. After being beaten hard, the morale of the army was basically lost in the end, so An Shun... An Shun cut off the pincers and Mu Cen and ran away by himself!

No one knows what An Shun is thinking, now everyone just wants to know where An Shun is fleeing with those soldiers and horses?Although there are not many of them, but Datang has never been able to swallow his anger, since you dare to rebel, you have to dare to die!Even if An Shun is the only one left, he must be arrested and judged according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, as a warning to everyone else!

An Shun is also very cunning, because he is fighting in half of the main city, and he is obviously familiar with the terrain there. He ran three times and two times, but Gao Kan did not catch up, so Gao Kan sent an apology note , and ask for instructions on what to do next?

The next step is of course to bring An Shun back, but where is An Shun now?Everyone wanted to know about this question. Li Xian was originally making the background board during the discussion, but seeing that everyone was a little bit embarrassed, he said directly: "I will go to Silla."

At that time, everyone didn't believe it. Silla... and Goguryeo are old enemies, okay?Why did Taizong fight Goguryeo?Isn't it because Goguryeo attacked Silla?Isn't An Shun looking for death when he goes to Silla at this time?

Regarding this, Li Xian could only say with a smile, you really believe in the integrity of those guys on the Korean peninsula. Yes, he doesn't understand state affairs and military affairs, but according to the same lineage of those people on the Korean peninsula, even if they were wiped out. Shameless that can't be eliminated, Silla, who came to Datang to cry before... it must be restless now.

Silla...is the slave of the three surnames in this era. When it was invaded by the Japanese country, it went to Goguryeo to seek asylum. It was the one who took the initiative to attack others, but when it couldn’t beat it, it started to ask Datang for help. Now Goguryeo is almost cleaned up, and Silla... Hehe, maybe it will fight against Datang again with the Baekje Alliance. Such a shameless country, not to mention its deadly rivals leading troops to defect, even if the Wa country, which had bullied them, was willing to form an alliance with them at this time, maybe they would also be willing to kneel and lick.

What's more, there are only a few countries around the Korean peninsula. Baekje has been crippled by the Tang Dynasty, and the Wa country is a little far away. The only country that can allow Ansun to seek political asylum is Silla.

It's a pity that everyone has reservations about Li Xian's point of view. Many people don't believe it. Of course, Zheng Qi definitely supports Li Xian--Silla really did this in history. Zheng Qi doesn't know whether Li Xian is because he knows history or I figured it out myself, but that's not important.

So after the news of An Shun's defeat in Silla came back, everyone couldn't help but give Li Xian a high look.

And it is precisely because of this that the prince approached Li Xian and wanted to win over Zheng Qi through Li Xian. Anyway, Li Xian and Zheng Qi have a good relationship, and Zheng Qi is on his side. right.

Prince Li Hong's method of wooing is not very clever, it is the simplest - marriage, his wife Pei's direct younger sister is about the same age as Zheng Qi, and the younger Pei's background is a match for Zheng Qi, the princess is willing, the Pei family I am also willing, the Zheng family will not refuse, of course, this matter should be discussed by the parents of the two parties, and the crown prince told Li Xian just to let him know-your Wang Fu is going to become my brother-in-law.

So when Li Xian went to visit the prince, he knew about this matter. After Li Xian found out, he felt a little depressed, but he didn't make it too obvious. He felt that it was just the prince's wishful thinking. Even if the prince and the Pei family were willing Now, Zheng Qi is not necessarily willing, his family Wang Fu is such a thoughtful person, he should not be so hasty about his marriage.

As a result, within two days, he got the news——Xiao Pei's engagement to Zheng Qi, and it was Zheng Qi who personally agreed!

Li Xian was dumbfounded for a moment.
