Zhang Dian bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have not yet contacted the Black Water Mohe."

Li Ye stood up and walked to the sand table, and Zhang Dian hurriedly followed. Li Ye pointed at Liaodong with a wooden pole and said: "Since the Sui Dynasty, Liaodong has always been a major concern for the Central Plains. Before that, it was Goguryeo, which caused the Sui Dynasty to decline and eventually perish.

Then the Khitan rose again and had been eyeing Youzhou, including the rebellions of An Lushan and Shi Siming, whose subordinates were mostly Donghu people.

If the Khitan is not destroyed this time, once there is civil unrest in the Central Plains, the Khitan will inevitably take the opportunity to go south, seize Youzhou, and invade the Central Plains. Therefore, this time we launched the Liaodong Campaign to completely wipe out the Donghu people. Eliminate, now we have completed 60%. "

Zhang Dian reacted very quickly, "Your Highness, the other 40% refers to Shiwei and Heishui Mohe?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "In fact, there is also Silla, but you don't have to consider Silla. I let you serve as the governor of Liaoxi, just to let you deal with Shiwei and Heishui Mohe!"

Zhang Dian immediately bowed and said, "After the spring tomorrow, I will lead the army to take action!"

Li Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will give you five years, that is, your term, to completely eliminate Shiwei and Heishui Mohe. Our court still follows the sixteen-character principle, 'Eliminate the nobles, sinicize the common people, register the people, and divide and rule.'

"I remember it!"

Li Ye said again: "After eliminating Shiwei and Heishui Mohe, all their people will be relocated to the Liaodong farming area, teach them to farm, let their children read and sinicize, and after twenty years, they will basically be the same as the Han people.

But this is not your business. Your task is to lead the army to continue to circle the land to the north, all the way to the entire West Sea, and bring the West Sea into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Build a military city in the West Sea and station troops there. I know that the conditions there are very difficult and bad, so I specially approve that if the garrison really needs it, the garrison can plunder the surrounding tribes, steal food and women, and I will not pursue it. The premise is that there is a real need, not to kill innocent people. "

Zhang Dian hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity. I will do my best!"

Li Ye returned to the harem. He first went to Penglai Palace to visit his pregnant wife Dugu Xinyue. When he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw his daughter Xingsha holding a bowl of medicine and walking forward carefully.

Li Ye felt warm in his heart. His daughter actually knew to bring medicine to her mother. He walked slowly behind his daughter. Xingsha seemed to have sensed something and looked back. It turned out that her father was behind her. She turned back and smiled brightly, "When did Daddy come back? "

Li Ye put his arm around his precious daughter's shoulders and asked with a soft smile: "Daddy just came back, why does your mother want to take medicine?"

"Mom is a little uncomfortable. Imperial Physician Lin said that she needs to rest and protect the fetus. He also prescribed a medicine. I just want to learn how to decoct medicine!"

"How is studying in school?"

Li Ye's eldest daughter Xingsha is already fifteen years old. Although the Tang Dynasty generally married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Li Ye did not want his daughter to marry too early. The rule he set was that girls could get married after the age of eighteen and boys could get married after the age of twenty.

Under his advocacy, the common early marriage in the Tang Dynasty has disappeared. Most of the daughters of ordinary families married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, while the daughters of eunuchs and aristocratic families married after the age of eighteen. Following the emperor's regulations, they also wanted their daughters to marry more maturely, which was good for their body and mind.

Interestingly, most of the daughters of poor families also married at around eighteen years old. This was mainly for profit considerations. After the court banned the employment of child laborers under the age of twelve, , daughters from poor families would go to work as maids in wealthy families at around the age of twelve. Generally, they would sign a contract once every three years, and basically they would sign it twice for six years, and then they would go home at the age of eighteen to get married.

Xingsha is now studying at the Hongwenguan Girls' School, where there are more than a hundred young ladies of similar age studying together. They are all daughters or granddaughters of high-ranking officials above the third rank. They go to school at dawn every morning and go home after school in the afternoon. They do not live in the school, which is also to give them time to reunite with their families.

Li Ye's other two daughters, Yaoguang and Qiuhe, also study at the Hongwenguan Girls' School.

Xingsha smiled and said, "I am very happy to study in school. I can read a lot of books and learn to write poems and essays."

"What do you like most?"

"I like painting the most. We will take a carriage to the suburbs to paint in a few days."

"How many people are going together?"

"Everyone is going together!"

"More than a hundred people? "

Xingsha nodded, and Li Ye laughed. This was a bit of a big show. He had to tell the inner guards and pay attention to safety.

"Daddy, we all want to go to Jiangnan, but we don't have the chance!" Xingsha pouted and said coquettishly.

Li Ye thought for a while and smiled: "Wait until tomorrow spring! Daddy will arrange for you. You and eight female professors will take a 30,000-stone ship, take classes on the ship, and travel to Jiangnan together. Have fun for two or three months before coming back."

Xingsha was so happy that she was about to explode. If she didn't have a bowl of medicine in her hand, she would definitely clap her hands excitedly.

"Thank you, Daddy. You must keep your word!"

Li Ye smiled slightly, "Daddy is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The emperor's words are golden. When will he not keep his words? Maybe Daddy will arrange it for you tomorrow!"

"I will definitely buy good things in Jiangnan to honor Daddy!"

"Haha! Just have this intention. Daddy has no shortage of things! "

The father and daughter talked as they entered the bedroom. Several palace maids came up to take the medicine bowl, but Xingsha refused and insisted on handing it to her mother herself.

Dugu Xinyue was half lying on the bed, and Lin Imperial Physician was checking her pulse. Lin Imperial Physician's name was Lin Ruoyue, a famous doctor from Xiangyang. She followed them since Xiangyang and knew the constitution of everyone in the family. Everyone couldn't do without her. The children called her Aunt Lin.

Lin Imperial Physician took the medicine bowl and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's well decocted. You can master the heat the first time. You are such a smart princess!"

Xingsha was a little embarrassed by the praise, and took her mother's hand and said: "Mom, Dad said that we will arrange for our school to travel to Jiangnan next spring."

Dugu Xinyue looked at her husband and smiled: "Why don't you worry about your daughter's safety?"

Li Ye sat down and smiled slightly: "They are almost all on the boat. Even if they get off the boat, they will be closely protected by the inner guards and female guards. Besides, the world is peaceful now, and our enemy troops have almost been wiped out. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "Okay, let them go out and see, it will be good for them."

At this time, Li Yuyi asked Dugu Xinyue to drink the medicine, and Li Ye asked: "Lin Yuyi, how is the queen?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the queen is fine, just a little bit of miscarriage, rest for a few days will be fine."

"That's good!"

Li Ye smiled again: "The court will offer me some precious medicinal materials later, and it seems that there are more than a dozen thousand-year-old ginsengs. Let's see if I can supplement the queen?"

Dugu Xinyue also came from a martial arts background. She followed her master Liefeng to make medicine, and she still has the most basic common sense.

"Husband, thousand-year-old ginseng is not for me to eat, this treasure should be kept for making medicine!"

There are fifteen thousand-year-old ginsengs in the spoils of Bohai this time. Except for the emperor, no one is qualified to take this priceless treasure. Even if they can have it, it must be rewarded by the emperor.

So all fifteen thousand-year-old ginsengs must be presented to the emperor.

Imperial Physician Lin smiled and said, "After the madam gives birth, she can use one to replenish her body."

"Okay!"

Dugu Xinyue held her husband's hand and asked, "Have you eaten, husband?"

Li Ye nodded, "Today I'm welcoming Guo Ziyi, so I've eaten!"

"No wonder you smell like alcohol, it's enough to have Xingsha to accompany me, husband, go to the study to rest!"

Li Ye nodded, got up and went to the inner study.

The light in the study was soft, Qingyu was putting down a cup of hot tea for him, he hugged Qingyu from behind, Qingyu was startled, turned around and saw that it was her husband, she softened in her husband's arms.

"I thought it was Taiwei, she always wanted to attack me from behind."

Qingyu was named Defei, and outside she was called Liu Defei. She was the favorite daughter-in-law of the empress dowager, kind-hearted, honest, and reliable, so Dugu Xinyue asked her to clean the inner study for her after she became pregnant, instead of giving this good job to her sister Taiwei.

Since that night, when Li Ye took Yang Yuhuan to the viewing platform to spend the night, Yang Yuhuan has been feeling a little unwell. Because of catching a cold, she has been taking medicine and resting during this period. Qingyu cleans the inner study almost every day.

Li Ye kissed her snow-white neck and smiled: "Get ready tonight, and you will give me another son!"

Qingyu nodded shyly, "Then I will go back first!"

Li Ye drank tonight and was a little angry at this time, but he also knew that Qingyu was as conservative as his wife Xinyue and was not willing to accompany him in the study. Even if it did not hinder his request, she was unwilling in her heart, so Li Ye did not want to force her.

Taiwei was very open-minded, which made Li Ye like it very much. He was asking Chunyu to call Taiwei over, and suddenly found a woman's figure flashing in the corner outside the door. He was moved in his heart, and smiled and said: "You go back! I may come later."

Qingyu looked at her husband expectantly and left.

Li Ye walked to the door and said with a smile: "Who is hiding outside? Come here!"

A fragrant woman appeared in front of him. It was the former Queen Mother Zhang Qian. It was cold at night, so she wore a thick cotton robe and covered her feet.

She threw herself into Li Ye's arms like a raging fire, and whispered in his ear: "I look forward to your coming every day, but you refuse to come. I have to come to you!"

Zhang Qian came too timely. Li Ye hugged her and smiled: "Don't you like this feeling of having an affair?"

Zhang Qian whispered in his ear and smiled: "Don't you always like Aries? I sent it to you specially!"

Li Ye pretended to look around and smiled: "Where is Aries?"

Zhang Qian licked her lips seductively, gently untied her belt, and a mature and plump Aries suddenly appeared in front of her. This woman is amazing!

Li Ye's heart suddenly ignited a raging fire, closed the door, and directly led the Aries who broke into his study into the side room.
