In the Wude Palace, Du Ruhui looked at Shen Qianqiu in front of him, his face was calm, without any expression, in the entire Wude Palace, the atmosphere was more solemn, as the first auxiliary minister Du Ruhui, Shen Qianqiu felt that his pressure was relatively great, this person who had controlled the government for nearly five years had unparalleled prestige in the court, even Li Xin, who had great trust in him.

"Your Majesty really decided to build the Northern Capital? And set the northern capital in Zhuo County? Du Ruhui suddenly said lightly.

"Exactly. Mrs. Shen and Yang Niangniang were also at the scene at that time. Shen Qianqiu finally didn't say anything about Empress Xiao's presence at the scene, he said in a low voice: "Lord Du, the last general saw at that time that His Majesty the Emperor was deliberate, not a whim. I'm afraid Your Majesty has other considerations. ”

"Moving the capital is not a trivial matter! His Majesty decided the matter without consulting with his ministers. Du Ruhui sighed and said: "In this way, what do you want us ministers to do, then Your Majesty will be able to make decisions independently." Youzhou itself is a bitter cold place, the population is sparse, and the market is not very prosperous, Your Majesty will move the capital to that place, I'm afraid it is a little inappropriate! ”

"My lord, what about this?" Shen Qianqiu said with some concern.

"Since Your Majesty has made a decision, it is natural to do it according to Your Majesty's instructions, but at the moment there are many places where the court uses money, and Your Majesty is also preparing to send a large army to attack Tubo and Zhuo County, let Yan Liben and others go to Zhuo County to inspect it and draw drawings first. Then let General Pei Lao, General Guo, and General Wang send Goguryeo and grassland men to build cities, these all take time, do you understand? ”

"The Admiral understands." Shen Qianqiu is not stupid, from Du Ruhui's words, he understands Du Ruhui's plan, it is clear that this matter will be delayed for the time being, and after everyone persuades Li Xin to give up this point of view, he will be able to stop work.

"His Majesty the Emperor moved the capital is naturally a good thing, it can avoid the influence of the family in the imperial court, but the rash move of the capital will only cause chaos in the world, the same was true of the previous dynasty, Yang Guang rashly moved the capital, not only offended the Kanto family, but also offended the Guanzhong family, the current family's influence on the imperial court has been reduced to the lowest point, but once they resist together, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be affected. In a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be impossible to move. ”

Shen Qianqiu nodded when he heard this, I have to say, Du Ruhui is right, don't look at the big families now all listen to Li Xin's words, especially the Guanzhong family, but once Li Xin wants to move the capital, it will definitely damage the interests of the Guanzhong family, if the capital is moved to Luoyang, the Kanto family may support it, but if the capital is moved to Zhuojun, I am afraid that no family will support it.

In Du Ruhui's view, moving the capital to Zhuojun was definitely a wrong decision, but Du Ruhui did not dare to persuade Li Xin in front of this matter, so he could only temporarily delay the construction of the northern capital.

"Also, let Qin Qiong and other generals return to the dynasty quickly, Your Majesty is afraid that he will attack Tibet soon." Du Ruhui said with some worry: "The soldiers and horses in the court are enough, but the generals under him are still lacking a lot. ”

"The last general will see that His Majesty may set the battlefield in Songzhou, and even His Majesty will go to Songzhou soon." Shen Qianqiu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has always been like this, if you can drag Songtsan Gampo with the soldiers and horses in your hands, I am afraid that General Serious will be able to achieve results." ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Your Majesty may really do this." Looking at the four seas, only Tubo is his great enemy, after the elimination of Tubo, the four seas will be peaceful, and Tubo can be solved as soon as possible, and the Tang Dynasty can recuperate. ”

"The last general is worried, Your Majesty has solved Tubo, and there are other enemies appearing, endlessly, isn't my Tang Dynasty in a state of conquest every year?" Shen Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "The last general is doing the work of Jinyiwei, but he is also a soldier, although he yearns for a big war, but from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, the people of the world have never cultivated." My Datang has a great reputation, but the people in the lower classes have a lot of suffering! ”

"It's good that you can think of this, but if you can think of it, Your Majesty can think of it too." Du Ruhui said with relief.

"My lord, Your Majesty has gone to the Lantian camp." At this time, an attendant outside broke in, and he heard him say with some worry: "There are also generals such as Li Xuanba with him." ”

"Your Majesty can't wait anymore, he is ready to conquer Tibet, how long will he come back." After hearing this, Du Ruhui sighed deeply and said: "It seems that this official has also prepared grain and grass, I hope Your Majesty can end the war in Tibet as soon as possible!" ”

Sure enough, it took only three days to return to Chang'an for less than a month Li Xin, who issued an edict to ask for the holy decree of Tubo, at this time Qin Qiong and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were still in Zhuo County, coming to Chang'an, and Li Xin was only followed by Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba and Cheng Yanjin, of course, in terms of force, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba could defeat other generals.

And in the distant Dafeichuan, as the leader of the northwest army of the Tang Empire, he received a bad news, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Bailan many tribes actually showed signs of connecting with each other, and there were faint traces of the operation of the Tubo people in it, and he knew that there might be a big problem on his side. I am afraid that the idea of attacking Tibet from Dafeichuan will be difficult to implement.

At this time, Tuyuhun and the party were not completely subordinated to the Tang Dynasty as they were in history, which had a lot to do with the policies implemented by the Tang Dynasty. In the Western Regions, a Han man killed the Tuyuhun people, and the staff was punished and compensated, but if the Tuyuhun people killed the Tang Han people, the whole family was executed. Every year, the Tang Dynasty will recruit the Tuyuhun people to build roads in the northwest, which is to serve as a conscription, but the people of the Tang Dynasty are different.

This difference also caused the dissatisfaction of the Tuyuhun people, but in the face of the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, although the Tuyuhun people were disgusted, they were taken by Li Xin's powerful force, and when they thought of Li Jing's majesty in the northwest, they could only put this dissatisfaction in their hearts.

At this time, the envoy of Tubo came, on the Qinling walking in the Tuyuhun departments, the situation of the various departments is clearly understood, after the killing of Li Xin and others, the power of Tuyuhun has weakened a lot, there are powerful tribes in the party next to Tuyuhun, such as the Tuoba Department, the Fine Seal Department, the Bailan Department and other tribes have seen the policy of the Tang Dynasty, and they are very dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty. Let the serious army of 100,000 not dare to move, and in desperation, he can only order someone to send a message to Li Xin.
