Chapter 34 Looking Back

"On June 2018, the third year of Jinglong in the Tang Dynasty, the governor of the Thunder Ye, Zhang Qian, broke into the capital of the Shi Kingdom, and the King of Shi Kingdom, did not express his gratitude to surrender, and cut off the city of Julan in the Tang Dynasty, to thank the country for provoking war! He also promised to compensate one million taels of gold to be the cost of the Tang army's expedition."

"The emperor is very happy, and it is difficult for the people of Shi Kingdom to make a living. He granted Shi Kingdom a military expenditure in 50 years. On the same day, he issued an order to rebuild the Dayuan Governor's Office, with Mo He's younger brother Yihu as the Governor, and exercise the power of Zongzheng. The Tang Dynasty used the Governor's Office to supervise the vassal states, starting with this." - "New Book of Tang-Volume 209"

"I have told you a long time ago that he is a lucky general." In the bedroom next to Taiye Lake, Li Dan stroked his wife's smooth and plump spine and said proudly.

It was midsummer, and there was a faint aura in the air, which made people move casually, and the whole body felt hot. However, tonight, the couple were both excited and harmonious. What was even more rare was that Li Xian's calves and knees were vaguely in control. Although he could move very little, he clearly saw the hope of standing up again.

"Well——" Wei Wushuang lay on Li Xian's belly like a kitten, making a long and satisfying moan in her mouth.

Since exercising the power of the emperor on behalf of Li Xian, today has been her happiest day, making her feel like she is foggy all day long.

Five thousand Tang troops went west to the Pamir Mountains and easily captured the capitals of other countries! Although they finally seized only a small projectile city in the Shi Kingdom to show punishment, it was the first time that the Tang Dynasty's territory had expanded to the outside world in the past forty years. A year ago, the Tuqishi rebels almost took away the four towns of Anxi with the joint support of Dashi and the Turks!

Five thousand Tang troops went to expeditions to foreign lands, but did not spend a penny or a grain of rice in the court. All military funds were borne by the Shi Kingdom. In addition to seizing them, the Shi Kingdom also compensated a total of one million taels of gold!

Although for the Tang Dynasty's treasury, the annual income of 20,000 taels of gold is not even a drizzle. After all, it is pure income, not expenses. You must know that the Tang Dynasty's treasury was so clean that even rats were too lazy to make a living inside. And as the queen, she, had personally made a bribe of tens of thousands of yuan three years ago, for the bribe of tens of thousands of yuan.

Now, if Huifan gives tens of thousands to bribe her, Wei Wushuang promises that she will not even let the nuns sent by Huifan enter. Now, if anyone dares to use the words "the heroine is in power, her national strength will decline", she can directly grab the latest Western Regions map jointly presented by Niu Shizhuo and Zhang Qian and smash the person's head!

It is true that she is a woman, but she has just replaced her husband to rule and stabilize the situation in the Western Regions. This victory was also because she was good at employing people, and at a critical moment, she rejected the impeachment of the leading general by the censor.

Although, at first she advocated sending Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, it was definitely not for entrusting important tasks. Although, she didn't expect that the goal she originally wanted to get rid of would bring such a big surprise to herself. But who can deny that when the Sha Ye Army was ruining the stone country, she was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was in charge of the court? What's more, Li Xian, who knew that those little thoughts at the time, would not tear her down and make these secrets public.

Thinking of Li Xian's strong support for him, Wei Wushuang suddenly realized that the fat man with a bloated and half-disabled body in front of him seemed to have become much more attractive. Deep in his heart, there was a vaguely damp and hot flame beating slowly.

However, it is a bit regrettable that Li Xian had obviously no longer the passion for another time. He just continued to touch her back gently and told me like a monk chanting scriptures: "It is not a whim that I asked Yang Qian's granddaughter to go home. Zhang Qian has not married yet, and he has not even brought his maid to the Western Regions. It is obvious that he attaches great importance to this woman. I will fulfill him first without waiting for him to express his thoughts, and he will definitely be grateful to me. But if he takes the initiative to propose and exchange his military achievements for Yang Qian's granddaughter, the relationship between the monarch and the minister will be much more unfamiliar."

"Sanlang always prepares for his work and is much better than me!" Wei Wushuang heard nothing and praised him casually. "I am a woman's family, and I am not as good as you, so I need more guidance."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head and licked Li Xian’s chest with the tip of her scarlet tongue. Then, she slowly went down along her chest.

The small tricks between these couples always have immediate results when they are young. Although they are no longer young, their tricks are still useful, but they are just a matter of speed of effect.

However, Li Xian took his hand off her back and then gently supported her shoulder, "Wu Shuang, listen to me and finish it. This time, I will personally issue an order to promote his title and increase his real title, but he will not be promoted to his official position."

"You want to participate in the court meeting?" Wei Wushuang's body suddenly became stiff. He looked down at Li Xian and asked in a low voice, "The imperial doctor said, your body needs rest!"

"It's just one time." Li Xian knew that his wife was caring about him and responded in a controversial tone. "After handling the beginning and end of this great victory, I will continue to go back to the inner palace to rest. In addition, the Shuofang Army and the Anxi Army will work together to attack the Turks. If I don't show up, there will be someone in the court..."

"Since the Lord can hold on, even if he is self-righteous, there is no need to discuss it with me!" The flames deep in his heart quickly extinguished. Wei Wushuang crawled down from her husband, wrapped her body with a cool quilt made of silk, and responded in a low voice.

The palace maid who was serving outside the door heard the movement and came in with a silver basin to serve the couple to clean up their bodies. However, she stared out with a knife-like gaze. Li Xian quickly felt her unhappiness and reached out to grab her waist, but she pushed her hand out of the cold quilt by unceremoniously.

"Wushuang, I'm not worried that you can't handle it well!" Li Xian's arm froze, and then explained with a wry smile, "For Zhang Qian's contribution, it's enough to be one of the sixteen generals of the guards. I deliberately did not promote him to the official position, but only gave him a title to give him a land. I want to leave the most important opportunity to give you kindness."

"I thank you for your kindness." Wei Wushuang glanced at Li Xian, and there was no emotion in his response.

"Oh--" Li Xian could see it, and felt his wife's coldness, and sighed softly. Then, he added with a very low voice, "Wushuang, according to the truth, I should suppress him severely, it is best to demote him to the county magistrate and county magistrate, and scare him half-death. In this way, you can re-activate him after I die. However, the last blow to the Turks is in autumn. At this moment, I cannot be innocently demoted to the powerful general who has just made great achievements for the country. After the destruction of the Turks, I am afraid that I may not have to wait for that day!"

"What did you say?" Wei Wushuang's thoughts were all about her husband's rebellion and fighting for power with him. She didn't listen to Li Xian's words carefully. After the latter finished speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned and asked.

"I said, after I die, you will be promoted to Zhang Qian, so that he can be grateful for your kindness and be your loyal arm." Li Xian suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with pampering like a fake, just like the beginning of the two newlyweds.

"What are you talking nonsense? Your body is strong!" Wei Wushuang finally understood what Li Xian meant, and tears immediately rolled down his eyes. "Sanlang, don't scare me, I, I can't live without you!"

"Wu Shuang!" Li Xian's eyes also became wet, but he continued to smile and shake his head, "Don't be anxious first, listen to me finish my words first."

"I don't listen, Sanlang, I don't allow you to say these despicable words. Sanlang, I don't allow you..." Wei Wushuang covered his ears with his hands and shook his head. His heart suddenly felt as upset as if he was stuffed with numbness.

If Li Xian died, no one would ever fight for power with her. The prince was weak and young, so he could only be her puppet. In that case, she would become the next Great Sage Queen of Zetian, just around the corner.

However, if Li Xian dies, she will have no husband and no support to rely on. No matter how big or small things happen, she can only bear it alone. She cannot be like now. She can always find someone to give advice at critical moments.

"Wushuang, listen to me and finish my words!" Li Xian pulled down Wei Wushuang's hand with his hand, gently held it, and added softly, "Wu Sansi had already had the intention of replacing me with the King of Xiang. The reason why he had not started it for a long time was that he was worried that King of Xiang was more difficult to control than me, and second, he was that he was worried that Zhang Renyuan would take Shuofang Army and fight back to Chang'an from Hedong."

Wei Wushuang was able to break free from Li Xian's control with a slight struggle, but suddenly lost all his strength and allowed Li Xian to hold his hand and let Liang slide silently from his shoulders.

The hardships of that year are vivid in my mind. The couple often couldn't sleep at night and sat down with each other until dawn. But the days were only a few days after they got better, and the husband was on the verge of exhaustion!

"Zhang Renyuan is too pedantic and has too old qualifications, so you may not be able to control him. However, Zhang Qian is young and lacks scheming. As long as you give him benefits, he will definitely find ways to repay your kindness." Li Xian raised one hand and gently wiped away the tears from his wife's face. "Zhang Renyuan, who lets him be you and the prince, may not be able to do well at the beginning, but I believe he will learn very quickly."

"Yes!" Wei Wushuang nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt so sad that she couldn't help herself.

"Don't be sad. I was able to see the Tang Dynasty restore its strength during my lifetime, and I was satisfied to see the destruction of the Turks!" Li Xian smiled, and finally two clear tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. "I saw my father in the nine springs, and I could tell him without any guilt that I did not let him down, but the queen who let him down was my mother."

"Master, you will definitely get what you want." Wei Wushuang raised his hand and wiped his face, and continued to nod his head vigorously.

"Don't let Gou'er make trouble. The state and family affairs must be clearly distinguished." It is rare to have the opportunity to say a few thoughtful words to his wife. Li Xian thought about it and continued to remind him endlessly. "I have promised you that the country will be shared with you, and I have never forgotten it."

"Yes!" Wei Wushuang continued to nod, and deep down, full of gratitude and reluctance.

"The prince's biological mother has no backing, so you are better to the prince, and he will definitely respect you!" Knowing that he has not had much time, Li Xian continued to whisper, "You can be the empress dowager in the governor, and never learn from my mother and become the queen. My mother has the entire Wu family as a supporter. Although your Wei family is full of talents, it is much worse than Duke Ying Guoshi. After all, you feel that you are old and tired of handling the government. Just return the government to the prince. Don't be nostalgic and follow my mother as your footsteps."

"Well!" Wei Wushuang's body stiffened again, and her gratitude and reluctance disappeared in an instant. However, she continued to nod her head gently, as if they were when they were newlywed, obeying Li Xianyan's plan.
