Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong stayed in Youzhou for a few more days, and they enjoyed the joy of family, and then they went back to Chang'an City.

Before leaving, Li Tai repeatedly explained that they must not show the slightest sloppiness. It was as if nothing had happened.

……

"Now that it is the spring of recovery, it is time for me to conquer the country of Tibet. I don't know if the food and grass materials of people and horses are ready? Li Tai asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has completed the training of 500,000 horses. Grain and grass materials were also provided by the household department Shangshu. Now just wait for the emperor's order to sacrifice the flag and send troops. Xue Rengui came out of class and said to Li Zhi.

"Now that everything is ready, then the military advisor will choose an auspicious day, and I will personally conquer the country of Tibet." Li Zhi nodded and said to Xu Maogong.

"Your Majesty, now Xue Rengui, the king of Pingliao, is the generalissimo of the three armies, but he can't do without a vanguard officer. He also asked the emperor to choose a vanguard officer to open a bridge for the army. Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, what the military advisor said is extremely true. Not only does our army need a vanguard officer, but also a grain and grass officer who carries grain and grass. After all, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first. Xue Rengui said.

"This matter of pressing grain and transporting grass will be handed over to me Cheng Biting Jin, I have done this business more than once, and it is definitely familiar with it." Cheng Yanjin said.

"Then there is Lu Guogong who is responsible for transporting grain and grass, I don't know who of you would like to hang the position of the pioneer officer of the front department?" Li Zhi nodded and said.

This vanguard officer is the sharp knife of the whole army, not only to open mountains and build bridges for the army. Every battle must be the first, so for a moment no one wants to accept this position.

If it was placed when Li Shimin was the emperor, I am afraid that the position of vanguard official would have been broken long ago. But now the veterans have passed away one after another, so naturally no one is fighting anymore.

Seeing that none of the Manchu generals answered, this couldn't help but make Li Zhi furious. Pointing to the Manchu generals, he said angrily: "On weekdays, I am not afraid of the sky and the earth when I show off my might, but today I want to find a vanguard officer, but no one is willing to share my worries." In that case, what is the use of me keeping you? ”

Li Zhi's words made all the Manchu generals lower their heads, and no one touched Li Zhi's brows. For fear of accidentally getting burned.

"Since no one wants to be the vanguard officer of the front department, then my lieutenant Chi Gong can only go into battle again. Your Majesty, the minister Chi Gong is willing to take the post of vanguard. After Wei Chigong glanced at everyone contemptuously, he said to Li Zhi.

"I still have to share the worries of a few old princes in the DPRK and China, so there will be Lao E Guogong to take the position of the pioneer officer of the front department." Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Wei Chigong.

"Your Majesty, since you have let the ministers be the vanguard officers, can the ministers of this vanguard army be selected by themselves?" Wei Chigong opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"Within 500,000 horses, the Duke of Hubei can choose 100,000 horses as the vanguard army." Li Zhi said to Wei Chigong without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, what our Generalissimo Pingliao is best at is to set up the Dragon Gate Array. At that time, I am afraid that these 500,000 horses will not be enough, so how can we choose people among these 500,000 horses? ”

"Therefore, the minister felt that he should send another group of men from elsewhere and let him act as the vanguard army. I don't know what the emperor wants? Wei Chigong opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, now that 500,000 troops have been dispatched, the amount of grain and grass required is already an astronomical amount. If another 100,000 horses are transferred, I am afraid that it will be difficult to supply grain and grass. Tobe Shangshu said to Li Zhi.

"Don't you always say to the emperor that if the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is sufficient? Why can't even a single battle survive now? ”

"Could it be that you usually brag to the emperor and hide the truth? Or did he secretly empty the treasury? Wei Chigong glared at the head of the household and said.

"Wei Chigong, don't spew blood, which eye of yours saw that I was full. You generals only know how to dispatch men and horses to charge and kill the enemy, how can you ever care about how much grain and grass you need to consume? Hubu Shangshu said to Wei Chigong without showing weakness.

Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty is a country and a people's peace. Therefore, the status of military generals has slowly decreased, while the power of Wenchen has increased dramatically every day.

This did not only happen in the Tang Dynasty, but also in all dynasties. That is to say, it is often said that the military generals will level the world, and the civil servants will rule the world.

Once the usefulness of the Taiping generals in the world will not be reflected, and governing the world is the specialty of civil officials. So naturally, there will be a trade-off.

Li Zhi didn't know this truth, so he said: "The two of you don't have to quarrel about this matter, don't say that the household department can't come up with excess grain and grass now, even in a short period of time, it is not easy to gather 100,000 men and horses with combat effectiveness." ”

"Your Majesty, it seems that the emperor has forgotten about Li Tai's kid. Asking him to give 100,000 horses is definitely not a problem. And the emperor can also take the opportunity to ask him for some grain and grass. ”

"When the first emperor went out on an expedition, that time Li Tai's kid would take out hundreds of thousands of stone grain. Now that the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, how can he let that kid hide away. Cheng Yanjin said to Li Zhi with a smile.

In fact, Li Zhi didn't want Li Tai to participate in this matter from the bottom of his heart, and Li Zhi had always been inferior to Li Tai in the eyes of the world.

Now I wanted to use this royal expedition to change my status in the eyes of the world. If Li Tai is involved again, then Li Zhi's goal will not be achieved.

But at this point, Li Zhi really can't refuse this matter. First of all, Li Zhi also knew the importance of the vanguard army, if the vanguard army was not an elite, it would be difficult to complete its arduous task.

Moreover, I don't know how many years it will take to go to the country of Tibet, if it really lasts for more than ten years. I'm afraid that with the strength of my current treasury, I may not be able to support it.

So he could only nod helplessly, and said: "I really forgot about the imperial brother, and immediately ordered the imperial brother to mobilize a vanguard army of 100,000 horses and hand it over to the commander of the Duke of E. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is a need to issue a holy decree in this matter. All you need is for the emperor to write a handwritten letter and send someone to Youzhou City. ”

"As long as King Yan sees the emperor's handwritten letter. Not only will the vanguard army send it to the emperor, but the grain and grass will definitely be sent over at that time. The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi couldn't help but nodded. In his heart, he didn't understand what the eldest grandson Wuji meant.

If Lee gave a holy decree, it was an order to Lee Tae. And Li Zhi wrote a handwritten letter, that is the relationship between the brothers.

There's a world of difference between the two. Last time, Li Zhi ordered Li Tai to send troops to recruit Li Ke, the king of Shu. Li Tai only dispatched 50,000 horses on the grounds of the alien movement in the northern Fanbang.

If Li Zhi is making an order at this time, I am afraid that Li Tai will be the same as last time at most. Sending 50,000 horses to participate in this expedition to the west is the best result.

So Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then bother my uncle to go to Youzhou and hand over my handwritten letter to the imperial brother." ”

……

"Jiulang, I heard that when I was choosing the vanguard general today, there was a little accident." Wu Ze asked while grinding ink for Li Zhi.

"These generals in the court really make me angry, and they are usually very majestic. I can't wait to grow my eyes on the door of my head. ”

"But when something really happens, I have to do my best to deal with a few old princes. I really don't know what the use of keeping them is. Li Zhi said to Wu Ze with a sigh.

"Jiulang, have you ever thought that Chi Gong, the Duke of Eguo, is already old. Is he really up to the task of having him at the helm of the vanguard army? Wu Ze asked Li Zhi.

"That being said, what can I do now? Could it be that the two brothers can't be the vanguard officials, I'm afraid they are not as good as the Duke of Eguo. Li Zhi said helplessly.

Even if Li Zhi asked Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang to serve as the vanguard officer of the front department. I'm afraid Wu Ze will definitely not agree.

"Since Jiu Lang has decided to send 100,000 vanguard troops to King Yan, why don't you let King Yan personally serve as this vanguard officer?" Wu Ze said to Li Zhi.

"I'm afraid that the imperial brother may not be able to agree, if the imperial brother rejects me at that time. So where do you put my face? Li Zhi asked Wu Ze.

"This time you are writing a handwritten letter to King Yan, I'm afraid no one dares to read it without permission except King Yan. So even if King Yan rejects you, no one will know. Wu Ze said with a smile.

"Sister Ze is really my female Zhuge , why didn't I think of it. This matter will be done according to what Sister Zemei said, and it will be said if it can be done. Li Zhi said happily, and then wrote a handwritten letter with a little brush.

……

Early the next morning, the eldest grandson Wuji took Li Zhi's handwritten letter and got on the train to Youzhou. At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji was very puzzled.

I don't understand why Li Tai asked him to go to Youzhou, but for Li Tai's trust, the eldest grandson Wuji still decided to go to Youzhou.

That's why yesterday at the Jinluan Palace, I suggested that Li Zhi write a handwritten letter to Li Tai. Even if Li Zhi didn't let the eldest grandson Wuji go to Youzhou to deliver the letter at that time, the eldest grandson Wuji would recommend himself.

In this way, the eldest grandson Wuji arrived at Youzhou City with a nervous mood. And Li Tai had already led people to greet the eldest grandson Wuji at the train station.

After the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Tai, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Tai. Li Tai also took two steps forward and helped the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just wanted to see him, up.

And said with a smile: "Uncle, from ancient times to the present, how can there be an uncle who worships his nephew." Isn't your worship a loss of your nephew's longevity? ”

"Since ancient times, the ritual cannot be abolished. Although I am your uncle, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I am just a prince. It is a matter of course to bow to you. Eldest Sun Wuji said.

"In the nephew's Youzhou City, the uncle is not Zhao Guogong. It's my brother-in-law of Yan King Li Tai. If I make a mistake, my uncle should have beaten me. Li Tai said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

Then he accompanied the eldest grandson Wuji to the Yan Palace. Like Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chigong, the eldest grandson Wuji had no other thoughts except for surprise.

"I said how did you take care of this Youzhou City, I originally thought that Mozhou City was enough for me to understand. I didn't expect that compared with this Youzhou City, it turned out to be a small thing. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a sigh.

"Uncle, there are so many things that will shock you. This time I came to Youzhou, so I stayed here for a few days. Nephew, I'll show you something new. Li Tai said with a smile.

The two chatted while talking, and then came to the Yanwang Mansion. Li Tai did not take the eldest grandson Wuji to his study, but came directly to the Qianlong Residence.

"By the way, you suddenly asked me to come to Youzhou City to see you, what is the matter. Don't tell me you miss your uncle. The eldest grandson Wuji asked Li Tai.

"I must think about my uncle, but the person who misses my uncle the most is not my nephew. That's definitely someone else. Li Tai said mysteriously.

Li Tai said as he pushed open the door of the Qianlong Residence, and took the eldest grandson Wuji into the Qianlong Residence.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian was accompanying the four little girls of Bingxue, Frost and Frost, playing games in the yard. Suddenly, I saw Li Tai walking in with the eldest grandson Wuji.

On the face of the eldest grandson, two lines of tears instantly flowed. It can be said that the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji, they definitely grew up dependent on each other. So the relationship between the two brothers is definitely not ordinarily deep.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also saw the eldest grandson Wuji, and stood in place in shock and didn't know what to do. Because he would never have imagined that his sister was still alive.

The eldest grandson Wujian said with a crying voice: "Big brother, don't you recognize Guanyin?" ”

"You are really the queen's mother, didn't you settle the account with the former emperor in Zhaoling? Have you come back to life? The eldest grandson Wuji asked excitedly to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The queen mother was indeed buried with the emperor, but Guanyin and Erlang are still alive." The eldest grandson wiped the tears on his face and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Seeing the suspicious eldest grandson Wuji, Li Tai said with a smile: "This matter is a long story for a child to talk about without a mother, and when there is time, let the queen mother talk to her uncle well." ”

"Now my uncle should go with me to see my father. This time it was not me who wanted to see my uncle, but my father and mother. ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, didn't know how he walked into the room when he saw Li Shimin practicing calligraphy. knelt directly in front of Li Shimin with tears in his eyes.

……

After day and night long talks, the eldest grandson Wuji already knew the cause and effect of the matter. And kept scolding Wu is the demon queen.

And said to Li Shimin: "I have long told Xu Maogong that I should jointly write a letter to let the emperor abolish this demon queen." But a few of their old fellows just don't want to take care of it. ”

"Big brother, there are some things that can't be done by manpower. So we just have to let it go, and then find the weakness that we can break it down. ”

"It's not going against the current, which doesn't have the effect we want. If you don't get it right, you will burn yourself. Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, is there something going to happen again? Are you worried that the minister will do something stupid, so you specially called the minister to Youzhou? ”

"What the eldest brother said is right, I'm afraid that the entire Datang is about to change. Jiro and I are worried about the temper of the eldest brother, and when the time comes, he will be calculated by others. ”

"That's why I asked Li Tai to call you to Youzhou, so that you can know what happened in advance. lest you do something stupid when you get to. The eldest grandson Wuji said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The emperor and queen can rest assured, since Li Tai has already made arrangements. Then I don't have to worry about this leisure, I still have to leave this life and come to accompany the emperor to retire in the future. Eldest Sun Wuji said with a smile.

"It's great that my uncle can think like this, otherwise my nephew is really worried that the eldest grandson will rush to find me desperately." At this time, Li Tai walked into the Qianlong Residence and said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

"Don't be poor there, this is a handwritten letter written to you by the emperor today. Take a look. The eldest grandson Wuji took out Li Zhi's handwritten letter from his arms and handed it to Li Tai casually.

Li Tai didn't even look at it, so he smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Let me be the pioneer officer of the front Zhengyin, and I can't thank him for thinking about it." ”

"You don't even read it, and you know what is written in this letter? Could it be that there are people in the palace who have you? The eldest grandson Wuji asked Li Tai in shock.

"In the palace inside, even if it is the person I arranged to enter. may not be able to reach the emperor and queen's side. And how can we find out everything? ”

"It's just that the father and the queen mother felt sorry for their son and sent the Beidou Jiuwei back to the palace to protect the emperor's safety." Li Tai shook his head and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"So you will plan and let the Big Dipper Nine Guards pass on the emperor's and queen's every move for you. You kid really won't give up any opportunity to benefit you. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a helpless sigh.

"Don't talk about that, I'm going to take my uncle to see my new weapon today. It also made my uncle understand why I sent 50,000 horses to easily take Yizhou City. Li Tai said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

Li Taike didn't show off his strength like the eldest grandson Wuji, but wanted to tell the eldest grandson Wuji through this. I have the absolute ability to control the world.

Let the eldest grandson Wuji not have to fight meaninglessly, lest he be poisoned by Wu Ze in the end. At that time, he really had no way to explain to Changsun Chong.

"Don't say it, not only am I extremely puzzled by the battle of Yizhou City. I'm afraid that even if it is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, there may not be anyone who does not doubt it. ”

"As for the legendary Shu King Li Ke who went against the sky and was punished by the God of Thunder sent by God. But not a few people really believe it. The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Tai.

"Big brother, you can go with him to have a look. You'll know why after reading it? The eldest grandson Wuji said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

……

"Big brother, you're finally back, you should have seen a lot of new things after going all day." Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji entered the Qianlong Residence alone, Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"How is this possible, given that there are so many new weapons. Why didn't he just get rid of the demon queen? What the hell is he going to do? The eldest grandson Wuji said puzzled.

These questions had been bothering him for a day, and he had asked himself more than once in his mind. I couldn't help but ask Li Tai about it. However, Li Tai's answer was to laugh and not speak.

"Don't say that you don't understand, big brother, sometimes I feel a little bit unbelievable. In this world, I am afraid that except for Li Tai, no one with such strength will be subdued. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"To put it mildly, if I had that kind of strength. I'm afraid he may not be willing to be a prince, but why did Li Tai do it. Eldest Sun Wuji said.

Because he planned more, his vision was not just on the land of Kyushu. He has even greater ambitions, he wants the Tang Dynasty to become an empire on which the sun never sets. Li Shimin said.

Then Li Shimin began to explain Li Tai's global strategy to the eldest grandson Wuji. Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was stunned, and he didn't even know how to interject.

……

Li Tai sat in the middle of the Yin'an Palace, yawning and listening to everyone's reports.

During this time, Li Tai always yawned when he was discussing in the Yin'an Palace, as if he felt very tired. Even occasionally take out something and put it in your mouth.

The civil and military forces in the Yin'an Palace naturally wondered what happened to Li Tai during this time. However, Tang Qiang was secretly snickering, feeling that his plan had succeeded.

In addition, Li Tai always asked him for Wushisan when he had nothing to do, which made Tang Qiang feel even more that he couldn't leave Wushisan without her.

And since Tang Aoshan met Li Tai last time, Li Tai has become even more convinced of these five stones. And now that Tang Qiang has received Tang Xiao's support, it makes him even more fearless.

Moreover, Wu Ze's intention to let Li Tai serve as the vanguard officer of the front Zhengyin this time is to feel that with Li Tai's current body, there is definitely no return.

And all this news that Wu Ze learned was also notified to Tang Aoshan by Tang Qiang. Since the last time Tang Aoshan saw Li Tai, he returned to Wu Ze's side.

However, what Wu Ze didn't expect was that Tang Qiang's ambition was no smaller than her. A small title of King Yan can no longer satisfy him.

At this time, Tang Qiang had even planned to get everything from Li Tai, and then sent troops to Chang'an City to ascend the throne and sit in the palace as the emperor.

Moreover, Tang Aoshan was also successfully co-opted by Tang Qiang, and it can be said that now Tang Aoshan has become Tang Qiang's person. Therefore, the yellow spring on Tang Qiang's body has also been relieved by Tang Aoshan.

In this way, Tang Qiang felt even more fearless. even felt that the world was under control, and the throne was already close at hand.

But Tang Qiang underestimated Tang Aoshan too much, although Tang Aoshan didn't know Li Tai's secrets. However, he knows that Youzhou is definitely a powerful force.

Whoever ends up having him will be able to reign over the world. So he didn't relieve Tang Qiang of the poison of Huangquan at all. It was just to give him some antidote to temporarily suppress the toxicity.

And Tang Aoshan's ultimate goal is the same as Tang Qiang. That is, to become the king of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, on the surface, whether it is Tang Qiang or Tang Aoshan, they are all working for Wu Ze, but in fact, they are harboring evil intentions. If it weren't for Li Tai's insight into the opportunity, I'm afraid the world would be really chaotic.

However, who made them born at the wrong time, and met Li Tai, the protagonist who defended the sky. So all their plans came to naught. And even his own life will be put into it.

But until now, they didn't feel the slightest feeling, but they all felt that they had won the battle. One step away from your goal.

There are still ten minutes left before 2019, and Dragon Soul is here to wish everyone a smooth and happy family in 2019. In 2019, everyone will fulfill their wishes, and a new year will be a new beginning for us. Happy 2019 everyone.
