In Li Erbixia's study in the Chang'an Palace, a man dressed in black was standing respectfully in front of Li Erbixia, reporting something to Li Erbixia, Li Erbixia looked at the paper in his hand, his expression was solemn, for a long time, Li Erbixia put down the paper, frowned and said: "This means that the clue is broken, if there is no other discovery, there is no way to track down those thieves, right?" ”

The man in black nodded: "That's right, the thief acts very secretively, and he actually acts through the shell of the Drunken Immortal Fang, which involves the Shandong family, which is very difficult to deal with, but since the Drunken Immortal Fang was closed, the spies have also found out that those people are not very flustered, and the interior is not very chaotic, judging from this, this matter may not have anything to do with them, according to their usual code of conduct, this judgment will not be wrong." ”

Li Erbixia thought for a while and asked: "This is also true, those people's eyes are above the top, even my royal family looks down on them, how can they participate in this kind of thing, but there is such a big thing in the Drunken Immortal Fang, and they can't break away from it, after the investigation, are those people okay?" Especially the women. ”

The man in black nodded: "The spies visited everywhere and made sure that they were all fine, they were all from a poor family, and they were all from poor families, and they were forced to sell themselves when they couldn't survive, as for those who died, we are also investigating, but there are some difficulties, in short, people have been placed everywhere in Chang'an City, especially those places where there are more people, as soon as there is a disturbance, you can find something, as long as the thieves appear in Chang'an City, we have a way." If it's not in Chang'an City, then ......"

Li Erbixia waved his hand: "I know, then it's not your problem, I will send someone else to deal with it, you go down first, since there is no problem with the Drunken Immortal Fang itself, then, the purpose of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has also been achieved, let the Drunken Immortal Fang reopen, so as to give them a wake-up call." After this time. They will be more or less restrained, so they can buy us some time, so let's do it! ”

The man in black bowed and saluted: "Obey!" Then, slowly leave. The man in black had just left. Zhao Chen hurriedly ran back: "Bixia." The military newspaper came, it was a military newspaper written by General Manager Li himself, which only Bixia could read, and the sergeant who came to deliver the military newspaper said. The matter is very urgent, please Bixia make a decision immediately, it happened suddenly, and he didn't expect it. ”

Li Erbixia frowned, and as a result, he opened the military report and said, "What big deal can it be?" He's the chief manager, and he should do everything, didn't I order him to build the Jingguan? And 100,000 captives, what else can there be? Could it be that Suning's kid did something again? ”

Open the military newspaper, Li Er bixia began to check: Minister Li Daozong told Bixia that on April 27, the fifth year of Zhenguan, the history of the Datong Dao march and the right vanguard Suning and the left vanguard Su Lie joined forces to pursue the rebellion of the Hu Xue Department for eight days and eight nights, and successfully annihilated it, beheaded more than 20,000 people, captured more than 50,000 people, and escorted back to Lingzhou City, the pursuit distance was thousands of miles away, and the four rebellious tribes were wiped out, more than 30,000 beheaded, and more than 20,000 prisoners. Another minister will be Lingzhou rebellious tribes wiped out, Yang I Tang Tianwei in Huanyu, a total of more than 80,000 beheaded, more than 160,000 prisoners, has completed the requirements of bixia, the minister is bixia He, for the Tang Dynasty.

However, Suning's report shows that the rebellion of Hu Xue was instigated by the new khan of the Western Turks, Yehu Khan, and instigated his rebellion against the Tang Dynasty on the grounds of sheltering him, triggering the Lingzhou rebellion. It is to enhance his prestige and consolidate his position by fighting against the Tang Dynasty and bringing back the Hu Xue Ministry.

His people concluded that the Tang Dynasty had just started a war with the Eastern Turks, and was unable to wage a full-scale war with the Western Turks in the short term, so he had no fear, so he acted like this, Suning thought that this was a God-given opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, if he allowed the Yehu Khan to stabilize his position and unify the Western Turks, it was not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and it was at this time that the Western Turks commanded the army to accept Hu Xue's subordinates, it was the Western Turkic nobleman Ashina Ni, who had been to Chang'an in the past and met Bixia, and now he was regarded as a threat by the Khan of the Wild Leaf Protection, facing the disaster of death, Suning sent people into his military camp at night, saying that he would cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, and defected before the second day, annihilating 3,000 of the pro-army of the Yehu Khan, and assisting the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Xue Division, which made great contributions.

Later, Suning and his army of 8,500 night raids on the Western Turkic royal court, captured it, beheaded the Yehu Khan in the royal court, and supported Ashina Ni as the Great Khan of the Western Turks, Ashina Ni has always been close to the Tang Dynasty, and is willing to ask the Tang Dynasty to be canonized as the Great Khan, and the Tang Dynasty to form an alliance with each other, trade with each other, mutual markets, and the Tang Dynasty, Suning is to ask Bixia to set up the Tang Dynasty Office in the Western Turks, stay in the garrison of 3,000 troops, protect the trade routes, and send people to negotiate an alliance treaty with the Western Turks, Suning thinks that this is a great opportunity, take this opportunity, The Tang Dynasty could do something in the treaty, so as to control the foreign trade of the Western Turks through merchants, and further control the trade routes of the Western Turks, so as to achieve the miraculous effect of surrendering the army without a fight.

This matter is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and the minister did not dare to agree rashly, and there was no research on this matter, so he asked Bixia to send another Gao Ming to discuss this matter; In addition, the results of this battle are very great, Suning's vanguard army has made great contributions, Suning, Su Lie, Cheng Chumo, Li Zhen, Changsun Chong, Wei Chi Baolin six people are the first merit of this battle, and also ask Bixia to consider the reward, the first day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

The more Li Erbixia looked at it, the more frightened he became, and after reading it, he suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, and after a long time, Li Erbixia's expression became relaxed, and then later, he showed a look of surprise: "It's like this, it's like this, God bless Datang, God bless Datang!" Good boy, good boy! hahahaha！ ”

Zhao Chen looked at Li Erbixia's ecstatic look, very puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask, this was a capital crime, so he had to suppress his curiosity in his heart, knowing that Li Erbixia spoke to him: "Zhao Chen, Suning, this kid did a good job, did a really good job, but he has such courage at a young age, although the ability to command the army needs to be investigated, but no one in the Tang Army can compare with him." I'm the right person! With more experience, there are successors in the Datang Army! Zhao Chen, let the king of Hejian enter the palace immediately, I have something important to discuss! ”

Zhao Chen bowed and saluted: "The old slave obeys the order." ”

In the palace of Hejian County, Li Xiaogong was looking at Li Ruihan with a sad face, a bowl of rice and a few exquisite side dishes made by Su Mansion in front of her Li Ruihan didn't move at all, pounding around with chopsticks, just didn't eat, his eyes looked into the distance blankly, and he didn't know what he was looking at. Li Xiaogong is dying of sorrow. Looking at Li Ruihan's appearance, how did he not know what Li Ruihan was thinking? While feeling distressed, I also had a lot of resentment towards Suning......

Stinky boy! When you come back, see if I can't clean you up!

"Rui Han, why don't you eat some. You don't eat. How can this body withstand it? Look at you. I've lost a lot of weight these days, how can this be good?! Li Xiaogong couldn't help but persuade, Li Ruihan just glanced at Li Xiaogong lightly. sighed and put down the chopsticks: "Daddy, I can't eat, I can't eat anything, I have no appetite, Daddy, you said that Su Lang and they went to war, can they eat well and sleep well?" In that kind of place, if you are sick or injured, how can you be good? ”

Li Xiaogong was depressed, and was about to say more, but suddenly heard the family come to report: "Master, Bixia's servant Zhao came to ask for a meeting, saying that Bixia has something important to discuss, please go to the palace to talk!" Li Xiaogong frowned: "Bixia looking for me?" Do what? Please come in! ”

Li Xiaogong stood up, looked at Li Ruihan again, sighed and shook his head, left, and when he came to the front yard, he saw Zhao Chen standing there with a smile on his face, Li Xiaogong stepped forward and saluted: "Zhao Neishou is here, I don't know what you are doing?" Zhao Chen said with a smile: "The king has tormented the old slave, the old slave just came to pass the word for Bixia, and Bixia asked the king to go to the palace to talk about it." ”

Li Xiaogong asked with an "oh" sound, "Does Zhao Neishou know what is going on?" ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "This is a major event in the court, where does the old slave dare to get involved, but I am very happy to see Bixia, this matter also has something to do with your son-in-law Su Hou, I listened to Bixia kept praising Su Hou, as if he also said that with more experience, Su Hou will be the successor of our Tang Army, oops, I am afraid that Su Hou has made a great contribution at this time, look at Bixia's happy energy, the king is a blessed person, he picked such a fast son-in-law, the old slave is envious! ”

One or two big stones fell to the ground in Li Xiaogong's heart, and then he was happy, Suning made a great contribution again? Oh, this is a good thing, now his own family and the Su family are also considered a family, the Su family is blessed in this matter, and his own family is also blessed, he is naturally happy to pick such a good son-in-law, but Li Erbixia called him to the palace for what to do?

After thinking about it, Li Xiaogong was a little worried in his heart, Suning's title is already very high, at least compared to his age, it is already a very high title, not to mention the great contribution at this moment, it is estimated that Bixia will use various ways to prevent him from being promoted to the title, and reward Suning in other ways, which can be regarded as a kind of protection, but how long will this protection last? Mu Xiu in the forest, the wind will destroy it, everyone understands this truth, at this time Suning if he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, it's not good, young people are young and vigorous, they need to be mentioned, as an old man, they are duty-bound.

It's like yourself, you've made a lot of contributions, and you're a royal family, so don't you have to be a careful teacher now? But this is also beneficial, for example, if you are politically crushed, there will be loosening in other places, Suning, this kid is also very smart, he should also know what he should do and what he should not do after making meritorious contributions to a certain extent, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden, this matter has been the most reasonable since ancient times, he is the head of the Su family, the first generation of the head of the Su family, he should know what he wants to do.

Li Xiaogong didn't know what Li Erbixia was looking for him, but in any case, this time Suning came back, he had to tell him a little, it was already very rare for him to get such glory at this age, at this time, he had to know how to advance and retreat, those officials were not easy to get along with, and the emperor could not protect him, the king was like a tiger, once there was any sign of unhappiness, Li Xiaogong believed that Li Erbixia would never be soft.

Came to Li Erbixia's study, Li Xiaogong saw Li Erbixia writing something with a happy face, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Li Erbixia's mood is really good, so he strode into the study and bowed: "Minister Li Xiaogong to see Bixia, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Li Erbixia looked up and saw that it was Li Xiaogong, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Why should Xiaogong be polite, come, come, sit down, sit down, oh, Xiaogong, do you know why I am so eager to call you here?" Li Xiaogong shook his head: "I don't know, the minister is also puzzled, why did Bixia call the minister into the palace?" ”

Li Erbixia smiled and handed a piece of paper to Li Xiaogong: "You can see the content on this piece of paper at a glance." (To be continued......)
