Tang Dynasty Never Night

There is actually a reason for the censor to jump out to join Li Xian: in June of the first year of Xianheng, there was a solar eclipse.

In ancient times, such astronomical phenomena as solar eclipses were basically warnings from the heavens—there is a problem in the world, and you should solve it quickly.

It’s just that everyone tacitly thought that it was against the harmony of heaven that Tang and Tubo fought and killed too many people, so they were warned by heaven.

In the end, no one expected that a censor would jump out and start biting Li Xian, but the timing of this censor's jumping out was too sensitive for people to think about it.

And Li Xian, the censor, was nothing more than a few points, such as deploying troops without military power in his hands, or secretly deploying gunpowder without applying for it.Strictly speaking, Li Xian did not handle these matters well, but it was useless even if he asked for authorization on the form. Except for the period when the country was just founded, the prince basically did not lead the army.

When Li Xian knew about this, even though he was always calm, he couldn't help being a little angry. This group of censors who are full and have nothing to do, he is working desperately on the front line, and they are waiting behind to find out his fault!

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian's angry look and comforted him, "It's not like you don't know, this group of censors only have one mouth left, why are you serious with them?"

Li Xian said angrily: "They just see that I can't write notes now and hate them."

Although the injury was on the left shoulder, for a pampered otaku from before time travel to after time time travel, the arrow injury was simply unbearable in his life. He couldn't sleep well because of the pain every day for the past two days. He was haggard a lot, and the gang of censors came to make things difficult for him.

Zheng Qi just said: "Leave it to me."

"Ah?" Li Xian was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "It's okay, my father and mother will not let those censors bully me like this, you don't have to worry too much."

Zheng Qi thought a lot more than Li Xian did, he sneered slightly and said, "You really think it's Yushi's original intention to participate in you? Maybe there is a behind-the-scenes pusher behind this."

Li Xian's eyes flashed and he asked, "Prince...or King Pei?"

"I don't know. Now that we are not in the court, the information we can get is limited. No matter who it is, just pretend that you don't know and just curse back."

Li Xian rolled his eyes: "Why don't I say...you write?"

Zheng Qi looked at him dumbfounded, pressed Li Xian's chest and pushed him onto the bed and said, "You should have a good rest, I've already said it, and you don't care about it."

Li Xian... Li Xian is still a little worried. Last time those censors slandered Zheng Qi, he helped to block them back. Now Zheng Qi actually said that he would scold the censor for him. Well, although Zheng Qi defended him so much, he was very happy. That's right, but he was always afraid that Zheng Qi would suffer.

But the question is... Is Zheng Qi the one who suffers?The reason why he didn't talk to those censors before was because he didn't have to talk to those censors at all. Why should he quarrel with those censors when there are more effective methods?There is no benefit in winning the quarrel, but this time, he felt that he needed to do something to make those censors more honest.

So this opened the prelude to General Zheng's battle against Yushitai.I have to say that Zheng Qi really opened Li Xian's horizons. He found that compared to a real politician, his skin is not thick enough.

For example, the censor scolded him for having no military power but dispatching troops without authorization. At first, Zheng Qi was telling the truth about the fact that all the high-ranking generals of Zhechong Mansion in Liuzhou were killed in battle. It's nonsense to say that Li Xian brought a [-]-man guard when he went out, and all he sent was his own soldiers and horses, so there was no need to rush to the mansion at all-because His Royal Highness Zhou Wang didn't leave the city at all from the beginning to the end. Meet the enemy.

If he really mobilized the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion, then his men would have a lot more people than the opponent's Zhechong Mansion. If they didn't leave the city to meet the enemy with more people than the opponent, wouldn't it prove that Li Xian didn't mobilize the Zhechong Mansion? Soldier, did he insist on defending the city because he didn't have so many people in his hands?

Zheng Qi also used himself as an example, that is, he took 500 people to clean up the defeated soldiers led by He Zhe.

Then there is gunpowder. Zheng Qi said that the formula of gunpowder was originally invented by His Royal Highness Zhou Wang. The sage never said that he can't use it. Why do you say it can't be used?Do you have more reason to speak than a saint?

The censor turned his head and said again that Li Xian used domestic animals to cook oil, which is not sympathetic to the common people. This time, Zheng Qi silently handed out a stack of receipts - when Li Xian wanted to buy these livestock, he made a bunch of receipts. At the time, he didn't think about why he wanted to keep these evidences. He just got used to it. After all, when he bought a small appliance, he had to get an invoice. At that time, he got a bunch of bills when the people sent livestock Write as much as you want on it. Of course, some people may not know how to read, but they naturally have their own wisdom, and it is not easy to deceive them.

This pile of bills can be considered useful now, Zheng Qi used that pile of bills to directly hit Yushi in the face-look clearly, those livestock were bought by King Zhou himself, and he hasn’t told them yet. The imperial court is crying for money, how dare you say that he doesn't care about the people?

Okay, you care about the people, why don't you pay the money?

The censor's face was in pain from the beating, and he was honest for a while, but Zheng Qi quit here, and turned around and put on the censor's hat of spying on the prince.

Because Li Xian's previous actions have not been reported yet, whether it is minefields or burning barbarians, it all happened within a few days, and because Li Xian was injured, Zheng Qi was busy catching up. Those remnant soldiers and defeated generals didn't even have time to write these things down, so I would like to ask...how did the censor know these things?

It is true that if the Yushi is well-informed, it is basically not a problem to put it on others, but it is really a problem to put it on Li Xian-you know the actions of the prince so clearly, saying that you did not monitor anyone Believe it!

After finishing this booklet, Zheng Qi stopped, not caring about any problems with the court, and turned around to pack up the paperwork again.Yes, although Zheng Qi rushes to help Lizhou, but I have to say that Tubo Lun Qinling is too cunning. At the end of the siege and interception, he was allowed to run away with people, and the people captured by Zheng Qi might be Tibetans, but those people were more determined than one, and they committed suicide when they were captured.

Of course, this is also related to Zheng Qi not paying attention to those soldiers at all, after all, he already has a fold in his hand.It is also related to Zheng Qi that He Zhe has not died after so many days of torture.

Zheng Qi couldn't bear him to die, oh, hurt his king, just crush a few fingers?It's really beautiful.

So Hezhe was executed on schedule with almost three meals a day, but he still held his breath. After crushing Hezhe's fingers, Zheng Qi played even better, and he directly threw him into the dark dungeon , there was no light at all, and the only light that could be seen every day was probably when soldiers came to take him out for execution.

It's just that for Hezhe, this kind of light is only for a moment, because those soldiers will quickly cover his eyes with black cloth, and then drag him all the way to the execution hall.

The reason why Zheng Qi covered his eyes with a black cloth was just because he wanted to see He Zhe fearful. After all, the more unknown the more frightening people are. It's boring.

In this way, in the fear of closing days and nights, Zheng Qi simply won the territories of the three tribes and conquered some small tribes next to him, and directly assigned this piece of land to the big tribe. Don.

The fight is almost done, and there is no need for Zheng Qi to stay here. In fact, he led his troops to occupy that small area just to delay a little time and let Li Xian recover for two days. Now seeing Li Xian's injuries It's almost recovered, and it's time for the teacher to return to court.

After the application was typed up, the imperial court soon responded with a message, and Zheng Qi took Li Xian, who was still injured, all the way to Tiantai Mountain.

To be honest, recently Li Xian always felt... something was wrong. He originally thought that people with the title of general, even if they were still in the court, would ride in armor, but Zheng Qi not only did not wear armor to ride, Instead, he put on his regular clothes and went to his carriage every day.

That's right, the prince's frame is very spacious, but now Li Xian is basically in a semi-disabled state, either half leaning or lying down, so there is no need to talk about image.The most important thing is that before, he still wanted to stay away from Zheng Qi, to see if he could cut off his delusions, but what happened to the person he was going to stay away from kept coming in front of him?

What's even more deceitful is that when he was with Zheng Qi before, his heartbeat would only speed up occasionally, but now... as long as Zheng Qi is in front of him, his heartbeat never goes normal at all!If this continues, he will have a heart attack, okay?

Although Li Xian was easily sure that he liked Zheng Qi, he never thought that Zheng Qi was deliberately showing himself in front of him, just like a peacock spreading its tail, but Zheng Qi's display was more subtle, and In fact, he was always in good shape, but Li Xian just felt that something was wrong with him, and never thought that Zheng Qi now...he is a mobile hormone secretion body!

No, no, no, if this goes on like this, I really won't be able to get out. Although Li Xian never had any hope of getting out of Zheng Qi's trap, he didn't want to sink deeper and deeper.

So now Li Xian basically doesn't dare to look at Zheng Qi, for fear that the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.On the other hand, Zheng Qi, who always pays attention to his posture, found that his king has become more and more alienated from him recently. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to speak, the other party will not easily talk to him. General Zheng is a little bit worried.

He didn't know what was going on, could it be that Li Xian had noticed his thoughts?So this is a polite refusal?For a moment, Zheng Qi was also extremely frustrated. What made him regret the most was that as Li Xian gradually recovered from his injury, the chance to sneak some tofu from time to time before was completely gone.

Zheng Qi also thought about whether to suppress this idea, but it's just that he has been a human being in two lives, so if he doesn't fall in love, it's all right. Once he is tempted, that kind of emotion can almost overwhelm people.He has been alone for too long, maybe he didn't care before, but now he really longs to have someone by his side, no matter who that person is.

Even if Li Xian is the prince, Zheng Qi has never flinched. These days, the status of powerful ministers is sometimes higher than that of the prince. He thinks that he will definitely be an extremely powerful minister in the future, even if Li Xian is noble, he will not let him Have any low self-esteem.

But the problem is, how to make a person who has a sweetheart move on?What?You said that Zheng Qi is a third party involved?I'm really sorry, Zheng Qi is used to bandits, no matter how beautiful he is on the surface, no matter how gentlemanly he is, his domineering is still hidden in his bones, the education of the aristocratic family is just like that, you have to fight for what you want, The difference is that the way the aristocratic family competes may look better.

What's more, Li Xian's sweetheart is not here, so why let him back down?

It's a pity that Zheng Qi, who had prepared himself well, found that he liked the other party completely unilaterally. The other party seemed to... didn't mean that, which was a bit troublesome.

Zheng Qi thought about what to do along the way, but found that...he basically has no experience in this area, and he doesn't know how to abduct people into his arms. If this is a princess...he probably dares to directly The princess begged to surrender, but unfortunately...it was the prince.

Zheng Qi seemed to be living in a trapped animal in his heart, but no matter how worried he was, on the surface he was still calm and unhurried.In this way, one chased and the other hid, and the two finally returned to Tiantai Mountain in early July.

On the day Li Xian returned to Chang'an, the crown prince and King Pei went out to greet Zheng Qi in person. He originally thought that these two people were here to greet Zheng Qi, but he did not expect that both of them were extremely enthusiastic about him, and there were even common people who came out to greet him along the way. , and saluted by his name, which really flattered Li Xian.

It was actually just a ceremony when the army came back to Chang'an. Because of the hot weather, neither Li Zhi nor Empress Wu came back. Instead, Li Hong and Li Xian were asked to give a banquet on behalf of their fathers to reward the sergeants. Of course, Li Xian was... not able to attend such a banquet. .

After all, he was still injured, so it was not easy to get out of the carriage to greet the prince and King Pei.So when Zheng Qi was receiving the banquet in the palace, Li Xian made a round of soy sauce in the palace and then went to Tiantai Mountain - after all, it was cooler there, and it was also good for healing.

After Li Xian returned to Mount Tiantai, he originally wanted to force himself to go to the palace to pay his respects, but as soon as he arrived at the other courtyard, Li Zhi and Empress Wu sent people to condolence him, and brought n many rewards along the way.To be honest, even Li Xian has seen the world now and has a lot of money in his hands, but after seeing the long list, he couldn't help being a little stunned.

Then he faintly heard a meaning from Huang Changshi's mouth: Li Xian's military exploits are real, but if he is replaced by a minister, the saint can directly let others be promoted and knighted, but when it comes to Li Xian ...I'm sorry, you are already a prince, and you still want to be promoted?Is it to rebel?

So both Li Zhi and Empress Wu could only reward some gold, silver and jewelry. As for letting Li Xian lead the army... Sorry, Li Zhi never thought about it.

Except for the prince who had some military power in the hands of the princes of the Tang Dynasty, the other princes could not touch the military power. Even the prince could only touch the ten ranks of the East Palace, and the real military power of the sixteen guards would not be handed over. In his hands, simply speaking, the Ten Rates of the Eastern Palace are for the prince to practice, so that he can have an understanding of how the Sixteen Guards operate.

What Huang Changshi said wasn't very clear but it wasn't particularly cryptic either. Li Xian understood what he meant almost instantly, so he turned around and had to write Xie En's note - there was no way, the vicious boss team made him He is recuperating well at home, so he doesn't need to go to the palace to pay his respects, so he can honestly recuperate in another courtyard.

What surprised Li Xian was that not long after he returned to the other courtyard, Wu Minzhi came to him directly.After leaving a familiar place for such a long time, even Wu Minzhi, whom he didn't like to see very much, made him less annoying.

So Wu Minzhi didn't get shut down this time, but was let in directly, and one of Wu Minzhi couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Li Xian: "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Li Xian touched his face and said, "Are you okay? Have you lost a lot of weight?"

Wu Minzhi stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his face, but Li Xian avoided him. Li Xian looked at Wu Minzhi strangely, and Wu Minzhi felt a little embarrassed when he saw it. He just acted subconsciously. That's all.

It's just that Wu Minzhi probably didn't know it at all. Li Xian was actually just curious that his face was more attractive recently?When Zheng Qi came back before, he would touch or pinch his face at every turn, why did Wu Minzhi do the same?

"By the way, how is your injury? Is it serious? I brought some medicine, both internal and external. Do you want to try it?"

Li Xian looked at Wu Minzhi's eagerness to come over and take his clothes off to see the wound, and couldn't help but rub his back: "I'm fine, it would be better if you don't come and let me go to sleep first .”

Wu Minzhi froze for a moment and then laughed: "You are really... always so direct, if you are tired, go to rest first, don't worry about me."

"How can I do that? How can anyone leave the guests to rest by themselves?" Li Xian looked at Wu Minzhi very seriously.

Wu Minzhi felt sore and couldn't help but said: "Then General Zheng is not considered a guest when he comes here? I heard that he can even come and go to your bedroom freely."

Li Xian stared instantly: "Who said that?"

Wu Minzhi didn't speak but just looked at him, Li Xian couldn't help but said, "Qingcheng was my Wangfu after all, so what if I treat him better?"

"Not much, I just think...you don't have to be so guarded against me, right?" Wu Minzhi put on a serious look and said, "I really want to associate with you, why do you reject people thousands of miles away?" outside?"

"I just think our two ways are different." Li Xian felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he had a premonition in his heart that he had a fever again. There was nothing he could do. He would occasionally have a fever these two days. It was not serious, probably because of the fatigue of traveling .

Wu Minzhi was keenly aware of something, and simply said: "You know about the previous few censors who participated in you, right? Don't worry about it, it's already taken care of for you."

Li Xian looked at Wu Minzhi inexplicably, of course he knew that the gang of censors had been dealt with, but... Wasn't that because his ex-wang Fu got mad?

Wu Minzhi looked at Li Xian's dazed look, although he was a little bit reluctant, but he still left - it would be bad if he disturbed people too much and didn't let him come to the door next time.

After Wu Minzhi left, Li Xian asked the raccoon slave who was left here what happened to the censor's participation in him a while ago, and he finally found out...not only Zheng Qi went crazy, but Wu Minzhi... ...also freaked out.

I have to say that one is a Jinshi, and the other is the leader of Hongwenguan. The two of them joined forces to clean up the censor. The evidence of a censor's greed for ink and bribery is now clear, and those censors were directly ransacked and exiled-the saint was also very angry when his son was scolded, okay?

The rare thing about Wu Minzhi was not because he molested some young lady to gain the limelight, he was almost saluted by people when he was walking on the road these two days.

And Li Xian...he didn't know about all this, the root cause was naturally that Zheng Qi had filtered all the information about Wu Minzhi, who let Li Xian recover from his injuries, the news from the court was all revealed to him by Zheng Qi.

But Li Xian didn't take it to heart, because after he came back, he was faced with the problem of gift giving—his family, Liu Lang, was getting married.In fact, this date has been changed, and the previously set date has to be pushed back. Li Xian doesn't know exactly why it was changed, but it's a good thing anyway.

And Li Xian, who is the groom-to-be officer... also has nothing to do. After giving the banquet, he returned to Tiantai Mountain and ran to Li Xian when he was free. He asked about the customs of various places, and he even asked See what it feels like to be on the battlefield.

Li Xian looked at Li Xian expressionlessly: "I feel like vomiting."

Li Xian: "What?"

Li Xian chuckled and said, "Think about it, there are broken limbs and arms all over the place, as well as various human organs. The ground is stained red with blood..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xian's face had become extremely pale, and he raised his hand in pain and said, "Stop, stop, don't talk so carefully about this, right? I just...just ask. Hey, don't you Do you know? Tubo is starting to play tricks."

"What?"

"Didn't Zheng Qingcheng catch Qin Ling's general He Zhe? Now Tubo says He Zhe sent troops without permission. Qin Ling and Mangsong Mangzan never gave him the order to unite the three ministries to invade the Tang Dynasty."

Li Xian... Li Xian was stunned by Tubo's shamelessness.
