Great Tang Broom Star

The emperor recovered.

"I feel like I'm full of energy."

The emperor was practicing swords early in the morning.

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship is so exquisite that the servants are dazzled."

Wang Zhongliang sent rainbow farts as usual.

The surrounding maids nodded their heads.

But did not speak.

That kind of thing that a bunch of people praise cannot happen around the emperor, unless it is a faint emperor.

After finishing knife practice and having breakfast, the queen came over.

"The spring is beautiful!"

The emperor was in a good mood, looked at Chen Xi and praised: "Today must be a good day."

Later, the monarch and his ministers will gather together.

Li Yifu looked at the emperor carefully, and sighed: "Your Majesty looks very energetic today, and the minister is far behind."

Xu Jingzong sneered and said, "Flaty!"

Li Yifu was furious, "Old dog!"

These two deadly enemies face off again.

Li Zhi's good mood also dissipated a little.

Xu Jingzong scolded: "You cheap dog slave!"

Li Yifu cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Xu Jingzong and scolded him, but no one respected him!"

Xu Jingzong stood up and cupped his hands, and instantly replaced the persona, "Your Majesty, Li Yi's mansion is flattering in court, and no one is courteous! This person is domineering outside the court, and all officials are afraid, but he changed his appearance when he entered the court. It's a traitor! Your Majesty, please get rid of this traitor!"

"Xu Jingzong!"

Li Yifu, who was exposed by Xu Jingzong, was furious and was rolling up his sleeves.

Xu Jingzong sneered: "Do it, you can't!"

Isn't the lesson from last time not enough?

Xu Jingzong said calmly: "When the old man was practicing sword skills in Wagang, you were still playing with mud at home."

yes ha!

Li Yifu waved his sleeves.

Shangguanyi was smiling, while Li Ji was blank.

Two of the four prime ministers are deadly enemies, one is a good guy, and the other is silent.

It can be called a wonderful thing.

Li Zhi was quite happy.

If the emperor wants to seize power, the prime minister should not be too strong, otherwise conflicts will arise between the emperor and his ministers sooner or later.

Li Ji is a smart man, he knows what he should do, and he will not steal the limelight.

Shangguanyi is obedient.

Although Xu Jingzong is often stupid, he is a confidant.

Li Zhi's mood improved again.

Xu Jingzong pointed at Li Yifu with his halberd, "Traitor, you will definitely die!"

hehe!

Li Yifu said indifferently: "This old man is younger than you."

Xu Jingzong said solemnly: "I think you will die suddenly."

This word...

Both Li Ji and Shangguanyi couldn't help but look sideways at him.

Li Yifu was furious, just about to pounce on him.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is urgently reporting."

Xu Jingzong was grinning ferociously, and was about to deal with the treacherous official Li. Hearing this, he accepted the merit, "There is news about Xiao Jia, and I will spare your death today!"

The report was sent in, accompanied by a sergeant.

This rhythm... is not right!

When the newspaper was delivered, Li Zhi opened it and took a look.

"I'm a little dizzy, the queen has a look."

Just one glance made the emperor dizzy.

What does it mean?

Even Li Ji was shocked.

Did something happen to Xiao Jia?

Li Yifu still smiled like a cat, not friendly.

Xu Jingzong muttered, "The one who can make Xiao Jia suffer is the queen, not even the Khitans."

When Shangguanyi heard this, he pulled the hand that was stroking his beard.

Empress Wu raised her head, "Emperor Li Pi of the Xi family was bewitched by Abu Gu,

It is intended to attack the camp state with Khitan. "

Li Zhi raised his head, seemingly wandering outside.

The rest is up to the sergeant to explain.

"At night, the Xi people suddenly became violent, and the mission had no way to escape in the city. Fortunately, Zhao Guogong invited Yingzhou to mobilize a thousand infantry on the way... Zhao Guogong led twenty people to open the city gate, and then the thousand infantry entered the city. Killed the traitors."

That's easy to say!

Li Yifu asked: "Mobilize a thousand people... Can I ask for instructions?"

Datang is very strict with the military management. If you want to mobilize 1,000 people, you must first apply to the Ministry of War, and then nod to the central government...

Private transfers are suicidal!

The emperor's voice was a little fluttering, "Before leaving, Zhao Guogong was worried that Khitan would be domineering, and planned to take some soldiers to frighten him. I nodded, and the Ministry of War passed by."

But this is wrong!

At night, the army unexpectedly appeared outside Rao Le Dudu's Mansion.

You want to call it a coincidence...

Li Yifu dared to strangle himself, no, it was Xu Jingzong who strangled him.

Li Ji's eyelids were twitching.

Since it is a mission, the mobilization of troops must be orderly and dignified.

The emperor asked: "The Lord of England, tell me, what is the purpose of the thousand people appearing outside the city at night?"

Li Yifu thought this was a deliberate plan, right?

"Your Majesty, could it be that Xi Ren was forced to rebel by Duke Zhao?"

This conspiracy theory made Xu Jingzong want to beat someone, and even Empress Wu took an extra look at Li Yifu.

Li Ji said: "Duke Zhao's army is different. He often said that the army should not harass the local area, so the veteran thought that the thousand people should have arrived there just at night. Camp outside. There is no need to worry about being attacked.”

The sergeant looked admiring.

—— Zhao Guogong asked me to say the same.

"But that's the case?" Li Yifu asked the sergeant.

The sergeant nodded, "Exactly."

"Later, the mission went to Khitan, and encountered Khitan rangers on the way, and even made a move..."

"It's obvious that I'm rebellious!"

Empress Wu was 'furious'.

The emperor covered his forehead and felt a pain in his forehead.

"Zhao Guogong said that most of the Khitan nobles wanted to rebel, and most of the Khitan people should be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. After defeating these rangers, they camped on the spot and waited for Abu Gu's envoy."

The sergeant suddenly said in grief and indignation: "I didn't expect it to be a large army. When Zhao Guogong was looking forward to it, 40,000 Khitan troops came to attack..."

My God!

Xu Jingzong couldn't hold it any longer, "You bitch! That bitch Abu Gu was domineering last time, but it's a pity he couldn't be killed!"

The sergeant said: "Everyone asked Mr. Zhao to take the mission to leave, but Mr. Zhao said that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty should not bow to foreigners. So a thousand infantry lined up, and then the Khitans launched an attack..."

One thousand infantry resisted an army of forty thousand.

"The old man thought of Han Li Ling."

Li Ji was quite emotional.

Those present were all well-educated people, so of course they knew what he meant.

"Li Ling's 5,000 infantry resisted the Huns' 80,000 army. If they hadn't run out of arrows, they would have been able to escape calmly."

Big guy!

People can't help but be fascinated!

The sergeant continued: "Our army blocked the enemy's two attacks, and Zhao Guogong is going to lead dozens of cavalry to charge..."

Dozens of cavalry rushed to kill tens of thousands of troops, and a terrible breath made the emperor put down his hand covering his forehead.

The sergeant changed the subject, "Earlier, Mr. Zhao sent someone to go to Yingzhou..."

The emperor rested his hand on his forehead again, feeling dizzy even more.

Wu Hou sat upright, meticulous.

"Chang Yonglie, governor of Yingzhou, led 500 cavalry to frighten the Khitan. Unexpectedly, it just happened to catch up."

The sergeant said very seriously, "When Zhao Guogong strangled the leader of the Xi clan rebels, he promised to let those Xi people go to the southwest of the Tang Dynasty to graze, and the Xi people were very grateful..."

The emperor wanted to put his right hand on his forehead too.

Li Yifu hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of this matter."

Li Zhi said indifferently: "Jia Ping'an consulted with me before departure, and afterward the aliens were captured and sent directly to the southwest to open up wasteland."

At that time, Li Zhi thought it was a plan for the future, but unexpectedly, this suggestion was used immediately.

Li Yifu was stunned, "But Xiren is so grateful?"

The Southwest at the moment is daunting...

Xi Ren, who went to the southwest, can prick Jiaping's villain, once in the morning and evening, three needles at a time.

that liar!

"Those Xi people rushed over spontaneously, and couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation when they saw this, so they took the initiative to attack the Khitan army."

"It's all on their own initiative?" Li Yifu felt that this lie was the biggest joke in the world!

The sergeant nodded, "Yes, they are all proactive. Xi Ren's enthusiasm is unbelievable."

I believe in your evil!

"Afterwards, a lot of hidden treasures were found in Khitan..."

It's good to have loot.

"However, Mr. Zhao said that the land journey was too hard, so he wanted to go by sea, so he went to Liaodong and landed in the Dengzhou area by sea."

This is to avoid the limelight! Wu Mei said indifferently: "The Xi clan will be destroyed, and the Khitan... will be destroyed!"

Xu Jingzong praised: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong sent an envoy to destroy the two countries. So far, Liaodong has no threat and can be governed as much as possible. The old minister is thinking... what if he is sent to Tibet as an envoy?"

Stupid again!

Straight talk Xu Jingzong!

Shangguan Yi stroked his beard and smiled, "If Duke Zhao Guo goes to Tibet, the first thing Lu Dongzan will do is to do it."

Li Zhi sighed slightly, "This envoy is also quite hard, and it actually wiped out two big tribes."

Everyone looked weird.

"Your Majesty." The sergeant finally said: "Those Khitan people begged to go to the south of the Tang Dynasty to graze and cultivate. Zhao Guogong cried when he refused, and Zhao Guogong reluctantly agreed."

This matter has to be handled by the court.

"Howling?"

Li Yifu felt that Jia Ping'an had made a big fuss this time.

"When Xi people and Khitan people arrive in the south... Zhao Guogong will never be able to go to the south again."

Li Yifu thought this was really interesting.

He dared to bet... Jia Ping'an's trip to the south will be full of dangers. Whenever Xi Ren and the Khitan people see him, they will definitely tear him to pieces.

Later, the prime ministers dispersed, and the empress sat blankly.

Wang Zhongliang felt that the atmosphere was not right, looked at the familiar old place, and secretly warned himself to be cautious today.

The emperor suddenly said quietly: "I know that Abu is rebellious, but this sudden outburst is probably caused by your younger brother. He is a famous general, so he naturally knows that Xiren is wrong, but he still brought the mission into the city , this is using the body as bait."

Empress Wu felt that this was wrong, "Your Majesty, Ping An dispatched a thousand infantry on the road. This is courage and strategy. If you don't move, then you will be safe."

"Believe it or not, even if the Xi people don't move, he still has a way to force Li Pidi to turn back, and then kill a group of Xi people, and then fool those Xi people... The Xi family is extinct."

"No way." Empress Wu looked disbelieving, but her long eyebrows were raised. Wang Zhongliang swore that Empress Wu would only do this when she was happy.

Li Zhi smiled, "Chang Yonglie was guarding against Xi Ren and Qidan in Yingzhou. Once Jia Pingan transferred him, he must be impatient...the two hit it off right away."

One wants to destroy the Khitan, the other wants to destroy the Khitan... This is dry wood and fire!

"But Abgu dispatched a large army, which is clearly rebellious." Empress Wu said dissatisfied.

"That's right!" Li Zhi sneered, "Abu Gu really thought he could rule Liaodong! But I don't know that your younger brother has been planning how to destroy the Khitan since he left Chang'an City. But I didn’t expect your brother to be ecstatic.”

"It's a credit."

Empress Wu felt that the emperor's conspiracy theory was wrong, "it's just passive."

"You might as well say that all of this is God's will."

The emperor was a little helpless,

Empress Wu smiled, "So Your Majesty thinks so too?"

...

"The Xi clan is gone, and the Khitan is gone too."

Li Yifu shook his head, "I can't believe it."

Qin Sha was surprised, "It's gone? Did Jia Ping'an dispatch an army?"

Li Yifu shook his head, his eyes darkened, "It would be fine if we sent out a large army, but a thousand people actually wiped out the Xi people, and then subdued the Xi people's 30,000 army. That idiot Abu Gu thought that the opportunity came, and he wanted to take Jia Ping'an with all his heart Who would have thought that Jia Ping’an would have ordered the Xi people’s army to wait on the flanks, a fatal blow!”

"Scary!" Qin Sha felt terrible just thinking about it, "He must have planned it a long time ago."

Li Yifu nodded, "Those who dare to take risks with less strikes, such people... the old man is a little jealous of this person."

Qin Sha said softly: "This person can be said to be decisive in killing and attacking. If he goes out, he will destroy the country, and if he enters, he will be an important minister and minister. After ten years, Jia Ping'an will definitely worship the prime minister!"

Li Yifu's eyes were gloomy and cold, "Jia Ping'an is almost thirty years old, ten years later, that is, before the age of forty, he will be appointed prime minister, let alone be able to rule the court for twenty years!"

"Twenty years!"

Qin Sha said: "The British prince is old, Xu Jingzong is old, and now the four prime ministers are Xianggong and Shangguanyi who are young, and they must be replaced within five years. Maybe Jia Ping'an will be able to come."

From ten years to five years, this is the change.

Li Yifu said: "This is the changing situation!"

Qin Sha sighed: "Jia Ping'an is at odds with Mr. Xiang. If he enters the court, Mr. Xiang, don't forget about the Queen."

Li Yifu nodded, "The queen is still protecting him today, otherwise he will not be able to escape the charge of starting a war without authorization. Once he enters the court, with the queen around, he will naturally flourish. He can go smoothly, but the old man will suffer torment……"

Li Yifu's eyes were bleak.

Qin Sha was startled, "What does Mr. Xiang mean by this? Could it be..."

Li Yifu tapped on the table lightly, seemingly leisurely, but his brows were full of indignation and dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty is gradually relying on Shangguanyi, and many things are also leaving me alone... Is this killing the donkey? Or do you want the old man to resign? Township!"

Qin Sha said: "Did Mr. Xiang forget the matter of Xu Jingzong's advice to the court last month?"

Li Yifu is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. "The gentry are making great efforts to become officials. They have passed many imperial examinations this year. It is difficult for the officials to stop the election. Your Majesty is quite dissatisfied with this. But what can I do? If I stop the gentry Serving as an official... that is a mortal enmity."

Qin Sha said: "My lord, Jia Ping'an said something, and the officials quite agree with it. A family of iron, a dynasty of flowing water. At this moment, I have offended the nobles too much, and my descendants are afraid that they will be uneasy!"

"You really are sincere to this old man." Li Yifu nodded, "This old man is worried about his children and grandchildren, so he can only act impartially."

Qin Sha said with a smile: "If the gentry is not weakened, how can His Majesty let the minister return home?"

Li Yifu smiled slightly, "What is the way to be a minister? You have to make the superior or the emperor reluctant to let you go. This is the way to be a minister."

He was in a good mood, "By the way, is your mother's condition better?"

Qin Sha shook his head, his eyes darkened, "The doctors have seen it many times, and they all said it was just suffering."

"Come on if you can." Li Yifu said, "You took three thousand money to go later."

Qin Sha stood up, "I have already taken a lot of money from my husband, how dare I be cheeky!"

Li Yifu smiled and said: "Is this old man short of money? You have helped me a lot, just take it, if you don't take it, you will be cheating."

Qin Sha was very grateful, and later received three thousand dollars, and then went to the West Market.

He bought some spices and some chickens and ducks in the West Market.

After returning home, his wife Yang came to welcome him, and saw that he was holding two chickens in his left hand and a duck in his right hand. His hands couldn't move, obviously because his fingers were exhausted and stiff.

As she took the chicken and duck, she smiled and said, "Why did my husband think about buying this today?"

Qin Sha had his hands free, so he kept opening and closing his fingers, and said comfortably: "My husband gave me another three thousand dollars to buy some chickens and ducks, and I stewed them every day. Auntie has a bad appetite, so let her eat chicken drumsticks." , you and the children eat other things. Don’t blame your husband, it’s important, mother.”

Every penny among the members of a family will inevitably lead to decline.

Yang said: "Where is the husband talking? I don't like to eat chicken drumsticks, and neither do the children."

Qin Sha smiled emotionally, "I have been miserable in this life, but I married a good wife."

Turning around to stew a chicken, Qin Sha carried it in.

Mother Zhang was lying on the bed, looking much thinner. Qin Sha asked someone to open some windows, and the room became brighter. Upon closer inspection, his mother became thinner and out of shape.

He smiled and said, "Mother, get up and eat chicken legs."

Mrs. Zhang took a few breaths, "Why did Dalang buy chicken again?"

Mrs. Yang helped her up, "My husband can earn money, so Madam can eat without worry."

Mrs. Zhang ate a chicken leg and refused to eat it again.

"Give it to the children!"

Qin Sha feigned anger, "But what did they say? I'll beat them when mother turns around like this!"

Mrs. Zhang looked at him, her eyes softened a lot, "You were born by me, I know you won't beat children."

Qin Sha smiled wryly, "Aniang, at least eat more."

"Then have another sip of soup."

After drinking the soup, Mrs. Yang went out with the bowl, while Qin Sha sat by the bed and talked with her mother.

Mrs. Zhang held his hand, "My illness can last for a few more years anyway, so don't worry about it. I met a monk when I was in my mother's house, and he said that eating less meat can make you healthy..."

Qin Sha nodded, "I see."

But the meat still has to be bought.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "You are old, I have nothing to say, just one thing, Li Yifu is not a good person, I think it will end well sooner or later, you remember to stay away from him. We don't want to be rich, we only want to be safe, ah! "

"good!"

When Qin Sha went out later, he flicked away the tears from the corners of his eyes slightly with his fingers.

Mrs. Yang came quietly.

"Aniang eats less and less."

Qin Sha nodded, and Yang said, "Auntie is always nagging, saying that she kept you away from Li Yi's mansion, what she said...too crazy is probably a disaster."

Qin Sha stood there!

Silent!

Yang sighed.

The husband and wife were standing in the yard, and there was a tree beside it. Qin Sha glanced at the spring light on the branch, and said, "My husband has treated me as much as a mountain."

Yang is silent!

"I went."

Qin Sha went all the way to Zhuque Street, thinking about the status of Li Yi's mansion recently.

"My husband has offended too many people, so there must be no mistakes, otherwise..."

He heard the sound of horseshoes behind him and looked back.

"Jia Pingan?"

Jia Pingan appeared in a hurry.

"Meet Zhao Guogong."

A passer-by recognized him and greeted him.

"have you eaten?"

Jia Ping asked with his hands clasped.

"have eaten."

The vulgar greetings that could no longer be vulgar made Qin Sha frown slightly.

Jia Pingan went all the way to the imperial city. The officials of the Ministry of War met him and saluted him, and then waited for him to go to the Ministry of War.

Jia Ping'an had a serious look on his face, "Go to the palace and ask to see His Majesty."

Later it was Shaopeng who came to meet him.

its not right!

Jia Ping'an felt a little apprehensive.

Shaopeng smiled at him, "Come?"

...

Don't keep the monthly pass at the beginning of the month, throw it to Datang.
