Great Tang Broom Star

in the palace.

Empress Wu sat in the hall, her waist still straight.

"There are many people who impeach me?"

Shaopeng nodded, "Yes."

"Is there anyone who speaks for me?"

Empress Wu's expression showed no joy or anger, and Shao Peng's back felt a little hot, "Not yet."

Empress Wu smiled.

"This is the winner and the loser. An official who can stand above the court will naturally not be as impulsive as a young man, taking risks for a seemingly failed person."

Shaopeng secretly sighed in his heart, "Queen, the public opinion in the foreign court is raging now, most of them..."

Empress Wu smiled, "Mostly they are advising and abolishing empresses."

Shaopeng lowered his head.

Empress Wu said indifferently: "Since you have offended someone, you will naturally offend him to death and suppress this person to death."

Shao Peng said: "The prince is in the previous court..."

"Goro."

Empress Wu said: "The emperor drove away Shangguanyi and others, and even the most loyal Xu Jingzong was driven to Yushitai. At first I thought he wanted to hurt me both..."

Shangguanyi and Xu Jingzong were also quite in awe of Empress Wu. If the two sides had a decisive battle, the positions of these two would probably waver.

"Only now did I realize that he wanted to replace those seniors and replace them with newcomers. These newcomers are the Prince's whetstone, use them to sharpen the Prince's authority..."

...

This is the prince's first real supervision of the country.

In the past, when the emperor and empress went on tour, some officials would be sent to help him deal with small matters. As for major events, they will still be sent to the emperor.

At this moment, sitting in front of the prince are the prime ministers.

Eight prime ministers.

"Your Highness."

Dou Dexuan got up.

"There is little snow this year, and there are signs of drought in many places in Guanzhong. The same is true for Jiang, Huai and other places..."

This is a test.

There are eight of these political affairs every year, if not ten, how will the crown prince deal with them?

The method of handling and the attitude of handling will become the imprint of his way of governing.

Li Hong said: "The Prophet of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, local old farmers are more sensitive to such matters. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households can send people to various places to inquire. It must be transported to various places in time...to prepare for a famine."

——That sentence is Jia Ping'an's poem!

Check and verify first, this is a new method.

At the same time, various preparations are ready to go. Once it is confirmed that it is true, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs will join hands. The Ministry of Industry organized and guided the dredging of water conservancy in various places to prepare for the drought. The household department prepares money and food, and transports them to places where the famine may occur.

Flawless!

"yes."

In the past, Li Hongguan just watched the monarch and his ministers discuss matters, and occasionally said a few words, just like a little transparent.

But today he sits there and presides over the government.

Li Anqi got up, "His Royal Highness, there are many memorials today, most of them are..." He raised his eyes and glanced at the prince, "Maybe it's the queen who made suggestions and abolished..."

The battle between the emperor and empress was over, and the secret war that had lasted for more than two years ended with the victory of the emperor.

And the result is that the prince sat there.

So the prince is the final beneficiary.

Politics has never been about friendship, but you will not be polite if you can trample your opponent to death.

The emperor didn't say a word in the palace, but the outside world was full of turmoil.

The prince should leave this matter to the emperor to deal with, he is not qualified to deal with his mother.

So Li Anqi's words were just an introduction, introducing the attitude of the prime ministers towards the queen.

Do you support the abolishment, or do you think it is better to maintain the status quo?

Dai Zhide looked at the prince with complicated eyes, knowing that he was in trouble.

The previous problem was political affairs, and the prince handled it flawlessly. The latter question includes human relations, palace fights, and political disputes... The best way for the prince is to be vague.

Li Hong glanced at Li Anqi, and said, "There is a lot of disturbance from the outside world, but this is a family matter!"

Li Anqi's old face turned red instantly.

Dai Zhide held back his laughter, stood up and said, "Your Highness's words are very true."

——This is a lonely family matter, a group of outsiders beeping endlessly, it's none of your business?

This statement exceeded everyone's expectations.

The prince is kind, but his attitude towards governing is not weak.

A servant came in, "Your Highness, Zhao Guogong went outside the palace gate with a knife and scolded all the officials. He begged to see the queen."

Dai Zhide just felt his whole body go cold.

The officials outside the palace were all sitting in a row, waiting to eat the fruit.

Everyone thought that the queen was going to be cold, so everyone shouted and beat her.

But Jia Pingan came.

One knife per person.

During the secret war between the emperor and the empress, Jia Pingan kept silent and did not help. For this reason, many people in the outside world said that he was ungrateful and had forgotten the queen's love for him.

But I didn't expect him to come at this time.

When the Queen is in a desperate situation.

One knife per person.

Naturally, we can only ask the emperor for instructions.

The emperor is listening to the memorial.

"Did he do this for me to see?"

Wang Zhongliang was shocked, "Mr. Zhao is alone."

The emperor sneered, "One person, one knife, that means if I want to attack the empress, he will come to the palace...and die with the empress. It's kind and righteous..."

...

Empress Wu was sitting in the dark hall while Shaopeng was talking.

"Your Majesty said... Let's have dinner together later, and eat hot pot when it's cold."

"The prince said that he would get angry after eating too much hot pot..."

Empress Wu sat there, silently looking outside the hall.

"Those people are still impeaching?"

"yes."

Empress Wu said mockingly: "Those who follow the wind and steer the helm cannot be reused. The emperor is looking at the roster sent by Baiqi right now."

"yes."

Shao Peng said: "Pei Wang hasn't come for a while."

Empress Wu said indifferently: "Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Shaopeng felt a little sad.

"The noble ladies who made an appointment to meet last time didn't come either."

This is the tree falling and the hozen scattered.

Zhou Shanxiang's eyes were red.

A servant comes in.

"Queen, Zhao Guogong is holding a knife outside the palace to scold the officials...he is entering the palace at the moment, and he... His Majesty allowed him to carry a knife."

"Safety……"

The queen raised her eyes, and there was something else in her always calm and indifferent eyes.

...

"Who does he want to kill?"

The emperor muttered: "Do you dare to kill me? Go and see."

The emperor walked away slowly with the people.

Arrived outside the queen's bedroom.

"Duke Zhao is over there." Wang Zhongliang said softly.

Jia Pingan walked slowly towards the steps.

Inside the hall, the queen came out alone.

She reached out and touched the hairpin.

The emperor glanced at it, even though his vision was not clear enough, he still remembered that it was a sandalwood hairpin that had been used for many years.

Jia Pingan walked up the steps.

"Sister, I'm here."

The Queen stretched out her hand slowly.

Jia Pingan lowered his head slightly.

The hand was placed on the top of his head, rubbing it lightly...

"I knew you would come."

...

"Spring is coming."

Rhodes stood on the height of the palace, looking at the whole city.

"Rods, those traitors have been wiped out, and the army is doing nothing..."

A general whispered the complaints of the crowd, "Many people want to attack Tochara... They are eager to try and fight Datang. They have heard that the east is rich, and if they can conquer Datang, Dashi will become the world's largest The most powerful dynasty, everyone will prostrate at our feet."

Rhodes said lightly: "That is a huge Tang Dynasty. They defeated the Turkic people and the Tubo people. We can't act rashly. First send people to Tocharian, and ask them again, is Tocharian the territory of the Great Tang? "

The general was stunned, "Datang claimed that Persia is their capital, and Tocharian is naturally also."

Rhodes turned around and went in, "It's one thing what they say, but it's another thing whether Tocharo admits it."

...

The place of Tocharian can be said to be changing in history. As a land of the Four Wars, there used to be a famous empire here...the Guishuang Empire.

But Guishuang was destroyed, and then the land was in chaos. After you sing, I will appear on the stage.

Tocharian is a power composed of various countries, which once belonged to Turkic.

This is the tragedy of small countries. When big countries compete, they can only choose sides. Are you going to say don’t choose sides? Yes, once the war starts, you are duckweed in the water.

What about Tocharo?

This is the question that worries everyone the most right now.

The king is worried.

"The big cannibals are ambitious, they are constantly cruising along the border, what should we do?"

"Are you going to ask Datang for help?"

"Then we will become vassals of the Tang Dynasty, those officials will rush here from Chang'an, and they will boss us around..."

The officials talked a lot, but they were all wary of Datang.

"Anxi is right behind us, and now there are Tang troops in Congling. They are guarding the passage for the Tubo people to come down. But the Tubo people are no longer in trouble, so where will the huge army go? I think they will stare at the Western Regions."

Everyone is silent.

A servant came in, "Da Shi sent an envoy."

The messenger walked in slowly.

After some etiquette, the envoy said: "I was ordered to come here this time to ask... Is Tocharo the territory of the Tang Dynasty?"

this……

The king's complexion changed.

He wanted to say yes.

The territory of Datang is the territory of Datang.

But what he is afraid of is... once the big cannibal decides to go to war against Datang, his answer will become an excuse for the big cannibal to go to war.

He said slowly: "No."

The messenger leaves.

"What is he trying to do?"

"Are you looking for an excuse to start a war?"

"We should say it is the territory of Datang!"

Someone regretted it.

A general said firmly: "Da Shi keeps mobilizing large armies. Now that Persia has been pacified, why don't these large armies retreat? I thought they were trying to attack Datang..."

A civil official said: "Then why don't they do it?"

The general said: "They need an excuse. If we say that it is Datang's territory, once they decide to go to war against Datang, we will become a thorn in their side, and they will do everything possible to find our fault..."

This possibility is very high.

Everyone's faces were pale.

The general didn't expect his words to frighten everyone, "But we said, Tochara is Tochara, and they can't find an excuse."

...

The messenger returned to Persia.

"Not the territory of Datang?"

Rhodes smiled, "These idiots, do they think they can avoid blows like this?"

A general said: "Rods, we need to do it immediately."

"Rod!"

A dusty general walked in.

Rhode's eyes lit up, "Buzhuo, my friend, are you willing to send you over there?"

The general nodded to everyone, "Datang's expansion in the Western Regions made them a little uneasy. After the news of Datang's defeat of Tubo, they discussed behind closed doors for several days and decided to let me assist you."

"How many people did you bring?" Rhodes asked.

Bu Zhuo said: "I have brought 30,000 elite troops, plus the preliminary preparations, a 200,000 army is enough to deal with any challenge."

Rhode felt relieved, "Datang defeated Tubo, and they are invincible. This is the worst situation for us. They will stare at the Western Regions, and Tucharo is their next target. You must know, Da Tang Tang is best at turning those small countries into his vassals, but he doesn't rule them specifically, he just asks them to recognize Tang as the suzerain... Persia is like this."

Bu Zhuo sat down, Rhodes waved his hand slightly, and someone went to fetch water.

Bu Zhuo glanced at the beautiful cup, "This is a rich place."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Of course. But compared to Datang, this is just a rural place."

Bu Zhuo took a sip of water, "Businessmen traveling between the East and the West kept bringing news about the Great Tang, and we have no shortage of sources of information. According to them, the Great Tang is a huge empire, and the emperor is high above, ruling countless The subjects. Those subjects worshiped the emperor and were willing to go through life and death for his orders... They are rich, and it is said that they are the richest place in the world."

Rhode raised his eyebrows, "Envy?"

Bu Zhuo put down his water glass, "Yes, those people are envious. They hope to conquer that prosperous empire, and then use that prosperity to strengthen us. Think about it, the Tang Dynasty has a large population, and it is easy to recruit millions of troops. When it can be used by me...this world..."

"But it's not easy." Rhode gently pulled out a long knife, "I learned a lot about the battle between them and Tubo. Both sides were impeccable in that battle, but the Tang army had firearms, which were very sharp. It was firearms that defeated the Tibetans."

Bu Zhuo frowned, "Can you elaborate more?"

Rhodes shook his head, "It's hard, I just heard... that firearms can make loud noises and kill people..."

Bu Zhuo asked, "Are they killing people with firearms or with knives and guns?"

"You asked exactly what I was thinking of." Rhodes said with a smile, "They still kill people with swords and guns. That is to say, firearms are only auxiliary."

"Yes, it must be so, otherwise they will not stop, they will take a rest after defeating the Tubo army, then break through Tocharo, and face Dashi directly. Therefore, we need to be calm."

Bu Zhuo snorted lightly, "What's the attitude of Tocharo?"

Rhodes said: "Tocharo said that they are not the territory of Datang."

Bu Zhuo said: "This is good news, I think it's time to send troops."

Rhodes shook his head, "You want to talk about breaking Tocharia?"

Bu Zhuo's eyes became sharper, "No way?"

"Not good." Rhode said: "We need to be cautious in the face of the giant Tang Dynasty. I think we can fight, but we can't lose all retreats. If we win this battle, then naturally we should go straight. But if we lose ..."

Buzhuo was thinking.

"Yes, your consideration made me feel cautious, and of course, considerate." Bu Zhuo said: "But I still insist on attacking Tocharo, and directly face to face with Datang, to see who blinks first."

Rhodes said lightly: "Once we lose, how will we clean up the mess?"

Bu Zhuo said with a smile: "Why do you always think we will lose? Rhodes, a famous general who was once famous, many people say that you attack like a raging fire and are invincible. It is your credit that the Eastern Route Army can fight here But once they see this cautious and almost cowardly Rhodes, they will feel that Dashi is weak."

Bu Zhuo's eyes became more stern, "We must tell the world that they need to bow their heads. When facing us, whether it is Tang Dynasty or Tubo, they need to bow their heads and remain humble."

Rhodes looked at him, "We can't take risks."

"We have had countless adventures!"

"Then what if we lose?"

"I think you were scared out of your wits by Datang, and that's why I came here. They feel that the Eastern Route Army has gathered here, but they can't make any progress. This is a shame!"

Rhodes took a deep breath, "I stick to my point of view, I can attack Tocharo, and then look at Datang's reaction. If they send out a large army, then we will have a big battle and use this battle to determine the future. If they don't move, then we will fight again." Break through Tochara, and then attack Anxi."

Bu Zhuo looked at him and said for a long time: "This is a weak compromise, but I think we can take a look."

He took out the paperwork.

Rhodes took a closer look, stood up and said, "Well, the 200,000 troops are in your hands, including me."

Bu Zhuo got up and said calmly: "There is no place in this world that can stop us. If it is a mountain, then we will cross it. If it is an ocean, then we will step on it... until the end of the sky!"

...

On the ground in early spring, a group of cavalry is galloping.

The sun gently swayed on the ground, and this team of cavalry was galloping crazily.

"They're coming."

Hundreds of cavalry appeared on the flanks.

They separated and double-teamed from the front.

"Hurry up!"

The leading general's face was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own or someone else's.

"Here they come."

The pursuers continued to press ahead.

"kill!"

The two sides made contact.

The howling sound came immediately.

The strength of the chasing soldiers is obviously more than one notch higher, easily slaughtering those opponents.

People kept falling off their horses, and some were trying to get out.

The general led the people to rush left and right, but they couldn't find the exit.

He shouted: "Follow me, we will fight to the death."

He rushed up with the surviving subordinates.

After a while of slashing and killing, the general successfully rushed out of the encirclement with dozens of cavalry.

"Go, go tell the lord... Da Shi... Da Shi is coming."

The general's breath weakened, he looked back at the pursuers, "Let's go!"

Plop!

The general fell from his horse, and several arrows on his back either broke or pierced his body.

His body trembled as he watched the horseshoes fly past from above or from the side, until a horseshoe appeared in the middle of his line of sight.

Snapped!

Those eyes gradually lost their luster, but there was still a hint of puzzlement.

"Come back after a while."

Most of the pursuers stopped.

"Why not strangle them all?"

"That's right! We were able to strangle them just now, but we deliberately opened a hole to let them escape."

"This is the arrangement from above, let us, no, not just us, there are more than a dozen rangers looking for their opponents on the territory of Tocharo at this moment, so that Tocharo will feel panic, and then... I don't know What happens next, but the cat-and-mouse game is interesting."

Tocharo is in a complete emergency.

"They are coming!"

A general rushed into the palace with a pale expression on his face, "The big cannibals are coming, they are constantly strangling our scouts and rangers, we are in danger... When we can't stop them, the army will come to the city, lord, we need help, There is no delay."

The king was stunned, "We are not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, why do they still want to attack?"

The general panicked, "My lord, I don't have time to take care of this right now. We need to gather a large army to resist the possible attack of Dashi. In addition, we must immediately send people to Chang'an to ask for help from Datang!"

The lord gritted his teeth and said: "The big cannibal is very ambitious, and he really won't let us go. Send someone to go to Anxi on a fast horse, and tell the local governor's mansion that the big cannibal... is coming!"

...

The last three days at the end of the month are also the three days before the end of the book, ask for a monthly pass!
