Chapter 58 Dust (1)
"A great victory, great victory, the Shuofang army successively broke through the Turkic army at Juyanhai, Xiashankou, and Hunyi River, and beheaded 7,000. The Turkic general Ashide Yuanzhen was awarded the title!" The messenger who reported the victory put up a banner on his back and instigated a maroon-red horse, crossed the long street, and ran all the way to the Daming Palace. His body was shaking because of the long journey, but his young face was full of pride.
"Dang Tang, mighty!" A group of soldiers patrolling the street happened to pass by the intersection in front of them, quickly opened their bodies to give way to the messengers of victory. Then, they waved their arms and cheered in unison, and everyone seemed to have participated in the battle in person.
"Oh" In the restaurant next to the long street, several young people rushed to the window and danced.
"Come on, Yin Sheng, He Datang soldiers are coming back to the north of the desert!" On the second floor of a tavern near the street, several scholars raised their wine cups, their arms trembled slightly with excitement.
"Drinking" countless people celebrated each other in different restaurants, and were full of passion.
"The Han army came out of the golden light, shining brightly on the sun. The fire banners and flames of thousands of miles away, and the clouds were riding in the sky. The Liao River was exhausted, and the Yanshan Mountain could fly..." Without the instructions of the drinkers, the singers asked the musician to change the songs in a few different restaurants. Then they changed their sleeves to long swords and danced the "Breaking the Formation Music" written by Zhang Shuo. The cool movements and bright music accompanied the drinkers became more and more intoxicated. (Note: Jinwei, Jinwei Mountain, which is the Jinshan Mountain that the Anxi Army had just recovered in the book. Yanshan Mountain refers here to Yanran Mountain, which is now Hang Ai Mountain.)
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!" In the dispersed seat on the first floor, several blond, blue-eyed, and big belly Hu Shang also raised his glass and cheered. He did not feel any strangeness in his behavior.
After forty years of turmoil, the Tang Dynasty finally recovered again!
The Tang army, who went on two battles, successively captured Jinshan, Juyanhai, and Hunyi River! It was only one step away from meeting in the Turkic ancestral court. Unless a god suddenly appeared and brought a slander for the Turkic people, the demise of the Turkic Kingdom was a foregone conclusion!
That means that the land equivalent to one-quarter of the current size of the Tang Dynasty will soon return to the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
That means that from the bend of the Yellow River to Kingsoft, there will be no war in the future for a long time. On the border, people of all ethnic groups can cultivate and rejuvenate.
That means that the trade route from Jiangnan to Mobei will soon be unblocked again, and a lot of money and opportunities are waving to the Hu merchants.
That means that as long as the merchants pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty government once in the future, they can transport silk from Suzhou to Xuanchi, and then return with the martened fur of Jinshan. There is no need to worry about horse thieves like locusts along the way, nor about Turkic tax collectors who are more cruel than locusts!
"The Liao River is exhausted, and the Yanshan Mountains can fly. It is the main congratulations from all directions, and I know the power of the emperor..." In the Xianju Hall beside Taiye Pool, a group of palace maids holding swords without blades, singing and dancing.
The Emperor of the Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian'an, sat on the four-wheeler, was proud and nodded frequently.
The weather in Chang'an City is much warmer than Yanran Mountain. After Mid-Autumn Festival, the willow branches by Taiye Pool are still green. The lotus pods in the pool have just grown, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh lotus seeds.
This lukewarm weather makes Li Xian feel the most comfortable. The recent series of good news has also made him feel much more energetic.
Therefore, every day when Gao Yanfu pushed him to the Taiye Pool, he would come to the Xianju Hall to sit down. He would either appreciate the singing and dancing that Shangguan Zhaorong led the palace maids to rehearse carefully, or help his wife Wei Wushuang handle several relatively complicated and difficult government affairs.
Because it is close to Zichen Palace, anything that happened in the court can quickly reach his ears. However, Li Xian took a ignorant attitude towards most of them, allowing his wife Wei Wushuang to let go. Even sometimes Wei Wushuang's handling methods look awkward to him, and even goes in the opposite direction of his thoughts!
Only a very small matter would he choose to intervene. But more than 70% of them were only after Empress Wei took the initiative to ask him for advice. In addition, 30% of the small matters were because he could not fully feel at ease about a few concerns, or the top priority in the government. For example, the Battle of Mobei, the handling of Khans of various tribes who came to surrender, and the choices of the Prince's Shao Shi, Shao Bao and Shao Tutor.
The choice of the third prince of the crown prince involves the future of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xian had to be very cautious in this regard. Even if Empress Wei's opinions sometimes disagree with him, he would not give in as easily as he did other things.
He had known that his wife liked power for a long time. When he and his wife were sharing weal and woe, he also vowed that if he became a treasure again in the future, he would definitely share power with his wife.
Since he had made a vow, he would do it. He did it, and in his opinion, his wife Empress Wei's current glory was also obtained by sharing life and death with him, so it was natural. However, after he and his wife were old, the imperial power had to be returned to the hands of the prince, not others!
As for his daughter Princess Anle's several times in front of him and his wife, he would like to be the princess, he regarded it as a child who was not worth laughing about.
Princess Anle Li Guer has never grown up in this life, and Li Xian has long accepted his fate in this matter. However, even if the royal daughter cannot grow up, she will have a lifetime of wealth and glory as long as she does not make a big fuss.
Even if Guer is willful and trolling, he will be suppressed when he is alive. When he is away, his wife Empress Wei will be suppressed, so he will not be able to cause any harm to kill him.
When his wife Empress Wei was unable to control the government affairs again, the prince had just become an adult, and Guer might have become a grandmother by then, and his spirit would not be as strong as it is now. With Li Xian's understanding of the prince's nature, he was a kind child. As long as he was confident in suppressing Li Guer, he would not extend the butcher knife to his sister. Just like, just like him in this life, no matter how angry he was, he never thought of killing his sister Princess Taiping.
"The Holy Queen"
"The Tang Dynasty's mighty power"
...
The loud cheers suddenly came from the direction of Zichen Palace, wave after wave, and it could not calm down for a long time.
"Hmm?!" Li Xian instinctively held the handrail of the four-wheeler with both hands, trying to stand up and find out. However, without waiting for the eunuchs to come forward to help him, he chose to give up again.
"Prince, be careful, I'll help you!" Gao Yanfu, the general of the gate, rushed behind Li Xian in three steps, and reached his hand towards the latter's armpit.
With his ability, he could help Li Xian stand up straight without any trace, and then take a slight step without touching his feet. However, Li Xian smiled and shook his head to stop him, "No need, I was just anxious just now. Gao Yanfu, go and see what good news is there, making the court so lively? If I expected that nothing would happen, the Anxi Army and Shuofang Army should meet."
"Yes!" Gao Yanfu bowed and then ran away.
Li Xian slowly leaned his body against the backrest of the four-wheeler, with a look of longing.
Half a month ago, he received news that the Anxi Army defeated the Gelulu people's tent in a battle and swept across Jinwei Mountain. Calculated the time, even if the Anxi Army did not meet with the Shuofang Army, it should have at least arrived at Yanran Mountain.
"The Han army suddenly came out of the golden light, shining brightly on the sun, and the iron cloak was bright. The fire banners of hundreds of miles were flames, and the clouds were flying. The Liao River was frowning and the Yanshan Mountains could fly..." He murmured Zhang's "Breaking the Formation Music". Suddenly, Li Xian felt his eyes burning.
Jinwei Mountain and Yanran Mountain were both taken back by my soldiers. Will the day when the Turkic ancestral palace is destroyed?
His mother Wu Zetian rushed him down on the grounds that he could not be a good emperor and replaced him by himself! At that time, countless people cheered for her mother's decision.
However, when her mother was in power, the Turks restored the country, and the Tang Dynasty lost to the north of the Yellow River. She had no choice but to send a man to the Turks to marry into their marriage. When he returned to power, he decisively activated Zhang Renyuan, which made the Turkic Mo Chuan no longer dare to lead troops south again. Then, two Tang Dynasty athletes rushed into the desert, one in the south and one in the north!
Who is not suitable to be an emperor?! He raised his hand and gently wiped his face, and Li Xian smiled proudly again.
Although God did not give him too much time, external troubles were destined to disappear when he was alive. The prosperous age would come again soon after his death. Later generations mentioned the upcoming prosperous age, and the title of Emperor Yingtian Shenlong will shine like stars!
"Master, you are very happy, very happy!" Gao Yanfu's voice suddenly sounded at the gate of Xianju Hall, bringing Li Xian's thoughts back to his eyes in an instant.
He lowered his head, and he saw Gao Yanfu's small steps and his red face because of excitement. He felt a sense of relief in his heart, "He Xizhiyou, you old guy, don't keep it in your arms!"
"I dare not, I dare not. I am so happy that I am so happy that I speak incoherently!" Gao Yanfu ran while panting and bowed. When he arrived in front of the four-wheeled vehicle, his tone returned to normal. "Your Majesty, the good news came from Shuofang. Nine days ago, Zhang Ren was willing to break through the Turkic South Road and beheaded 4,000 troops and Juyanhai, and beheaded 6,040 prisoners. The Shuofang army followed the situation and chased the Hunyi River. Four days ago, the Shuofang army fought again with the Turkic River on the banks of the Hunyi River, and beheaded 3,000 more. The old thief Ashide Yuanzhen, who had been rebelling from the Tang Dynasty and had been a disaster for many years, was beheaded, and the head-level defendant Jie Messenger had been sent back to Chang'an!"
"Hunyi River, where is Hunyi River?" Li Xian ignored how to deal with Ashide Yuanzhen's head. He looked around and looked for a map for reference, but was unable to find it for a long time. He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands on the four-wheeler.
"In the north of the desert, less than 600 miles away from the Turkic ancestral courtyard, and there is no obstacle between the two!" Gao Yanfu was also a soldier. While explaining, he bowed deeply to Li Xian. "I congratulate the emperor on suppressing the Turkic ancestry and eternally eliminate the troubles of the Beiting!"
"I congratulate the emperor for suppressing the Turks and eliminating the troubles of the Beiting forever!" Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er also led the dancing palace maids Qiqi Mountain to bow to Li Xian. One by one, his happy expression was beyond words.
"Everyone is flat, all are flat! Reward! Zhaorong, they dance with great care today, you reward them for me. The bounty comes from my private warehouse!" Li Xian was so excited that his scalp was hot, he waved his arms and quickly ordered.
"Thank you, Master!" Shangguan Wan'er took the lead again and thanked Li Xian sincerely.
At this moment, Li Xian's attention did not rest on these beauties. He waved his arms and tried to stand up again, but failed again and fell heavily back to the four-wheeler.
He was not depressed at all, and then he clenched his fist with his right hand and gently hit the palm of his left hand. "Not six hundred miles away from the Turkic ancestral courtyard? Okay, okay, Zhang Renyuan has never let me down. It would be great if the Anxi Army could come over and meet him in time. The two armies joined forces and they would definitely have a stable chance of winning!"
"Master, in addition to the good news, the Shuofang Army sent back, there were also Zhang Renyuan's memorials. As the Master had expected before, Zhang Renyuan said in the memorial that the Anxi Army had arrived at the foot of Yanran Mountain!" Gao Yanfu reached out to hold Li Xian's armpit and helped him sit firmly on the four-wheeler, so as not to roll off the four-wheeler due to excessive excitement and fall and bloodshed.
"Have they joined forces?" Li Xian felt itchy when he heard it, and immediately asked loudly.
"No!" Gao Yanfu thought for a while and shook his head gently, "The memorial said that the Shuofang army had explored, and the Turkic Khan Mo Chuo was carrying troops that were thriving in the country, preparing to block the Anxi army. Therefore, Zhang Ren was willing to decide not to join the Anxi army and take the opportunity to attack the Turkic ancestral courtyard."
"Don't go to meet?" Li Xian was stunned, very puzzled by Zhang Renyuan's decision.
If he had been the commander, he would have joined forces with the Anxi Army first, so that he would have more confidence in defeating Mo Chuo. But now, Zhang Renyuan ignored the Anxi Army and just tried to copy the Turkic people's nests by himself. In this way, he would be a little too eager to achieve success, or too greedy for merit and make progress!
However, he knew that he could not interfere with the decisions of the soldiers in front. The distance was so far, even if he wanted to order Zhang Renyuan to change his mind, when the imperial edict arrived at the bank of the Hunyi River, Zhang Renyuan had already taken his troops to the Turkic ancestral court. He would not wait for him to "plan" in place!
"Zhang Dadu Protector Zhang should be caught off guard!" After serving Li Xian for so many years, how could Gao Yanfu not guess what Li Xian was thinking. He quickly lowered his head and explained to Zhang Renyuan with a smile, "If you lose your ancestral court, the Turkic people's aura will inevitably decline greatly. At that time, Zhang Dadu Protector Zhang led his troops to attack Mo Chuo from behind, and the Anxi Army happened to be blocking in front. Two armies made kitchen knives and chopping boards all the way, and they would definitely chop Mo Chuo into meat filling!"
"Okay, okay, good a kitchen knife and chopping board!" Li Xian finally realized it suddenly and waved his hand happily, "I know that Zhang Renyuan is not the kind of person who is greedy for merit and prosper. I, I have prepared a banquet and waited for him. When he wiped out Mobei, I, I will let the prince take him as his teacher!"
‘With Zhang Ren wishing to be the young master of the prince and stay in the court, the court will definitely be calm. With Niu Shizhuo and Zhang Qian in Anxi, Anxi will not be able to fight. After this battle, Beiting will definitely have no war within ten years. Just change to a general who guards the city to take charge, and there is no need for the court to worry about it. In this way, even if I am gone, the Tang Dynasty can be stable inside and outside, and the world will be peaceful...,’
While planning happily, there was another noisy sound from the gate of the Xianju Hall. Li Xian was stunned and looked up in surprise. He saw that the saint of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Wushuang, surrounded by the left and right servants, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, the six ministers, and several third-rank subordinates of Pingzhang, walked towards him in a row and tiger-like manner. His face was no longer young, full of confidence.
