Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 665 lucky star

  Chapter 665 Lucky Star

   "Good news!"

   A group of cavalry rushed into Chang'an City.

   "What's the good news?"

   someone asked.

   But the speed of the cavalry was too fast, so they didn't answer.

   But they shouted it up front.

   "The Turks were defeated, and Ashina Helu only escaped with his own body."

   Those people were stunned.

   "Turk...defeated?"

   Isn’t Ashina Helu an unbeatable Xiaoqiang?

   Datang has gone to war several times, and each time he suffered heavy losses, but he couldn't destroy his roots.

  An old man brought firewood into the city to sell. He said happily: "Ashina Helu lost? After selling the firewood, bring a jug of wine home and drink!"

  …

   "...Chang'an's food is in danger." Tang Lin frowned bitterly, "Immigrants are useful, but still not enough. I think at least 100,000 people will be immigrated, and from then on, 10,000 to 20,000 people will emigrate every year..."

   Li Zhi felt a little habitually empty when he heard it.

  As the capital city, the Chang'an area is his basic base, his base camp.

  The larger the population of the base camp, the better, preferably half of the population of Datang is in Chang'an.

  This idea is unrealistic, but it is also unrealistic to continuously weaken Chang'an.

   "It's not a good thing that the population of Chang'an keeps shrinking." Li Zhi set the tone first, "Once something urgent happens..."

   For example, if there is a rebellion approaching Chang'an, the population is a proper combat power at this time!

   "Ahem!"

  Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if that time really comes, the old minister thinks that no matter how large the population of Chang'an is, it won't help."

   "The eldest grandson said it well." Han Yuan got up, "When the rebel army came to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty might be..."

   I can't wait to talk about the population size?

  Li Ji said indifferently: "The Great Tang is now a ruler and minister, so His Majesty is worrying too much."

   There is also a subtext in this statement: If the ruler is not clear and the ministers are not wise, even if Chang'an has gathered a population of 100 trillion, it will be idle.

   Tang Lin said: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of new populations in Chang'an and its surrounding areas every year. If you don't care about it, the food shortage will become more and more serious. In the end, you can only move the capital."

   "Bold!"

  Li Yifu stood up and scolded, "Can you tell me about moving the capital?"

   This villain!

Tang Lin sneered and said, "Why can't you say it? Do you know how difficult it is to transport grain from Luoyang? The two banks of the Sanmen Gorge are surrounded by water, with walls standing thousands of feet high, and the current is turbulent. There are two huge rocks in the middle of the river, which divide the water into three streams and rush straight down. There are more pillars below to block, known as the mainstay..."

"There is a cloud in the Water Classics: From five households below the pillar, during a period of one hundred and twenty miles, there are stones in the river... There are nineteen beaches, the current is steep, and the situation is the same as the Three Gorges. Boats are broken and damaged, which has been a problem since ancient times .”

  Tang Lin naturally didn't drop his book bag in front of these people, but wanted to tell them how difficult it is to transport food from Luoyang to Chang'an.

   "The larger the population, the more water transportation is needed, but Sanmenxia is a dangerous place, what can I do?"

  Li Yifu said with a smile: "You can make a detour."

   "Does Li Xiang know how much food will be consumed by the detour?"

   Tang Lin felt that Li Yifu was acting like a cruel official.

  Li Yifu sneered, "Why doesn't this old man know? But Chang'an has to wait for the food to be put into the pot. Could it be that the food will not be transported because of the loss?"

  This product...

  Everyone understood.

  Li Zhi didn’t want to reduce the population, Tang Lin argued hard, saying that if the population wasn’t reduced, he had to find a way to manage Sanmenxia...

  But how can Sanmenxia be so well managed?

  So Li Yifu directly threw the suffering to the people.

   It’s enough to conscript civilian husbands to deliver food.

   What do you want to say that consumes people's power, consumes food... none of my business?

   Tang Lin said angrily: "Mao Li, you are so shameless!"

  Changsun Wuji praised secretly.

   Sure enough, Tang Lin was Tang Lin.

  Li Yifu said coldly: "Is Tang Shangshu dissatisfied with this old man?"

  Li Yifu is getting more and more powerful now, but he is still short of a killing stick. The best way is to get a minister or a prime minister, so famous!

   Li Zhi said lightly: "Okay."

   Li Yifu would not care if he opened fire on others, but Tang Lin was different.

   Tang Lin has won his trust, so what will he do?

   "Shameless!"

  Li Yifu was feeling sad, and was furious when he heard the sound.

  Who the **** is scolding this old man?

  Li Yifu turned his head.

   It turned out to be the old dog Xu Jingzong.

  Li Yifu sneered, "Who are you humiliating?"

   Li Zhi covered his forehead.

  Xu Jingzong is known for being outspoken, and Li Yifu took the initiative to ask, which is asking for humiliation.

  The two confidantes started to quarrel...

  Xu Jingzong said lightly: "The old man scolded the dog!"

   Grass mud horse!

  This is unbearable!

  Li Yifu was furious, and subconsciously rolled up his sleeves.

  Xu Jingzong clenched the wat board disdainfully, "When the old man was fighting in Wagang, you were just a child with a yellow mouth. Let the old man teach you how to behave today!"

   Li Yifu rushed over.

  Xu Jingzong approached with a sneer.

  The old man has killed thieves in Qiuci, but you have never even killed a chicken, so you dare to beep.

   "Stop!"

   Li Zhi stopped drinking.

  Li Yifu obediently stopped.

  Xu Jingzong waved the wat board.

  Li Yifu reached out to block.

  Boom!

  It hurts!

  Li Yifu let out a miserable snort.

   "Bold!"

  The censor showed his power.

  He went out and scolded: "Your Majesty dared to do something before, you are extremely domineering!"

  Li Yifu raised his hand, his long sleeve slipped off, and there were marks on his arm.

   Xu Jingzong knew that he was impulsive.

   "Your Majesty, the subject is guilty."

   Li Zhi has a headache.

  Two confidantes... Li Yifu is a dog, he can fight wherever he points; Xu Jingzong is talented...but in front of everyone, he can't do without punishment.

   Let's do it!

  Han Yuan sneered in his heart.

  Two confidantes bite dogs, fighting in the same room, very happy.

   "Your Majesty, good news!"

  Li Zhi was thinking about how to deal with these two people, when he heard the words, he said, "Bring it in."

   This good news can be called timely rain.

  A sergeant was brought in, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Ashina Helu has been defeated."

   "Bring me the good news."

  Elder Sun Wuji's eyes lit up, and he recited after receiving the good news.

   "...the enemy has 20,000 cavalry, and our army is fighting in formation. When it is difficult to distinguish, the enemy's reinforcements attack with more than 20,000..."

   Li Zhi's heart tightened.

   "Su Dingfang led five hundred cavalry to raid the enemy's reinforcements, Jia Ping'an led three hundred cavalry to defeat the enemy in front of him, flanked the enemy's reinforcements, and defeated the enemy in one battle..."

   It was easy to say that the enemy was defeated in the first battle. Li Zhi asked, "Does Li Qing know how?"

  Here, Li Ji has the most experience in the battlefield. He said: "Our army is best at fighting like this horse army rushing into battle. It requires a brave general."

   will be the courage of the soldiers!

   Li Zhi understood.

   "After a 20-mile chase, Wang Wendu, the deputy general manager, said that the army had penetrated deep into the Turkic hinterland, and there were many dangers, so they should not enter rashly..."

   Li Zhi's complexion darkened.

   "Wang Wendu said that His Majesty was worried that his ministers would advance rashly, so he gave him a secret order to control the army, ordering the army to wear armor and march on guard every day..."

   Li Zhi's face was full of anger.

   "Why did I ever give him a secret decree?"

  Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at his nephew, thinking that he could do such a thing.

   But that was Cheng Zhijie, since he entrusted him with a large army, he shouldn't be restrained.

   "I am convinced that your majesty is wise, so he will not do so, so he ordered Wuyang Marquis Jia Pingan to lead three hundred horses to look for the trace of Ashina Helu, and the army followed closely behind..."

fine!

but…

  A subtle emotion is brewing.

   Whether there is a secret decree is one thing, but Cheng Zhijie's non-compliance is another.

  The thoughts of creatures like the emperor are the most unpredictable.

   "...It was night. Jia Pingan led three hundred horsemen to raid Ashina Helu's tooth tent. The enemy army panicked and then collapsed. Ashina Helu only escaped..."

   Li Zhi had a smile on his face, and when he heard this, he clenched his fists tightly.

   "Good! Good! Good!"

  Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Just to save himself, the Turkic will never recover!"

   "Three hundred riders raided the Turkic Yazhang, Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong sang praises for his younger brother without hesitation, "Wuyanghou's battle is comparable to Su Dingfang's raid on the Turkic Yazhang..."

  Li Zhi rejoiced, "After the last battle with Tubo, Cheng Zhijie said that Jia Ping'an could stand on his own, but I was still hesitant. I didn't expect him to live up to my expectations... Hahahaha!"

   Live up to my expectations?

   Didn't you say you are still hesitating?

   Turning your head, why does it look like you have a discerning eye?

  The emperor was shameless, but no one could have imagined that he would be so shameless.

  Even Changsun Wuji's cheeks twitched.

   "My lords, this battle is a great victory, and the Turks will not be infested within a few years, and then..."

   "Goryo!"

  Changsun Wuji's eyes became more stern, "Goryeo has been a disaster for many years, and it will be destroyed when the time comes!"

   Li Zhi was in a good mood, and immediately made people disperse.

  The censor hesitated to speak, "Your Majesty..."

  What about Xu Jingzong beating Li Yifu?

   Not disposed of?

   This is what you have no eyesight to see.

   Li Zhi turned a deaf ear to it, and immediately took a map to ponder.

   "Your Majesty."

  Wu Mei is here.

   "The concubine heard good news?"

   "Meiniang comes in."

  Li Zhi waved his hand, "The good news is that Ashina Helu was defeated."

  Wu Mei took the news and read it carefully.

   "Ping An unexpectedly..."

  Adi actually defeated Ashina Helu with three hundred riders!

  Wu Mei raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise, "Your Majesty, peace is indeed brave."

  Li Zhi nodded, "A young man can do this, is he my champion?"

   Let's award it!

  Wu Mei is waiting.

   Li Zhi changed the subject.

  Wu Mei was dissatisfied, but she couldn't force it.

   Shen Qiu came.

   "Your Majesty."

"how?"

   Li Zhi sat down with a relaxed expression.

   "Your Majesty, Wang Wendu was jealous of Su Dingfang's merits, so he stopped the army from pursuing him, and then he even made a false edict... saying that His Majesty gave him a secret edict, ordering him to control the process..."

  A blue color appeared on Li Zhi's face, "What a Wang Wendu! What a Wang Wendu."

   "Bold and reckless!" Wu Mei did not expect to have such a general, "Your Majesty, this person should be punished! However, the reward for peace..."

  This shrew, no matter what time it is, she only remembers the rewards of her younger brother.

  Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh, "Jia Ping'an is still young, these credits are qualifications, and when he can take charge of a conquest in the future, that is the time to reward him."

  Yes, brother is too young, if the reward is too much at this moment, it will be very troublesome in the future.

  Wu Mei Fushen, "The concubine didn't sleep well last night."

   "Just didn't sleep well?"

   Li Zhi said angrily: "You are acting out of selfishness!"

hehe!

   Speaking of Wu Mei, I am not afraid.

She retorted, "The court said that Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others were the minions of the concubine, but how could the concubine ever let them return? It was just speaking on behalf of His Majesty. The only thing the concubine can count on is my younger brother... Your Majesty also refused ?"

  You shameless person, it’s okay to hang out with my sister, but...

  The more Wu Mei thinks about it, the more popular she becomes. Now she wants to be an unscrupulous character, the more unscrupulous the better.

   "Your Majesty is so stingy, the concubine will pack up some things at the bottom of the box when she turns around, at least to give some comfort..."

   "Shreme!"

  In the palace, the emperor was roaring, and the queen was sneering.

  Wang Zhongliang was trembling.

  God!

  Don't bring trouble to Chiyu...

  …

   "Auntie!"

  Classmate Jia Yu, who was restrained by Wei Wushuang at home, was very angry.

   Wei Wushuang was looking at the account book of the tea house.

  The more you look at it, the happier you will be.

  Money!

   "Auntie!"

  Jia Yu grabbed her clothes and shook them.

   Tired of it!

   Wei Wushuang said angrily, "Go!"

   Jia Yu cheered and left the room.

   "Three flowers, hang up!"

  Sanhua hurriedly got out the cloak of the young master.

  cloak, small wooden knife...

   "Where's the water bladder!"

  Jia Yu asked Wang Lao Er last time, and learned that he had to carry a quiver with him, but he couldn't carry it, so he used a small water bag instead.

   "Brother!"

  Doudou came, seeing this, shouted: "Hongyan, put on me quickly!"

   Hongyan said earnestly: "Little lady is not good at wielding knives and guns."

   "Hurry up!"

   Going around is impatient.

   But Jia Yu had finished dressing up and shouted, "Ah Fu, let's go."

   Ah Fu slowly descended from the tree.

  Cao Er waited outside, holding a piece of Ah Fu's favorite snack.

   "Ah Fu has worked hard."

   Ah Fu ate in one gulp, and walked out the door contentedly.

   "Brother! Wait for me!"

  Doudou chased after him.

  But Jia Yu didn't want to play with his sister at all, so he ran away.

  Early law!

  The war horse stopped outside.

  Jia Yu drew his sword and shouted, "Who is coming?"

  The person who came was Xu Jingzong's entourage, and he was taken aback when he saw this.

   "But something happened?"

  Du He came out to greet him.

  The entourage cupped their hands and said joyfully: "The news of the victory has arrived in the palace, and Alang ordered me to report it... Great victory! The Marquis of Wuyang rode three hundred horses into the joint battalion and defeated Ashina Helu."

  Du He was stunned.

   Wang Laoer said excitedly: "Really?"

The entourage nodded, "I was also quite shocked when I heard about this, but the success report clearly stated that Alang and Li Yifu had a fight outside the palace, and they shouted happily, and asked me to go to Dongshi to buy some good food and wine later. Go home and celebrate."

   "Three hundred horse riding joint venture..."

  Du He couldn't imagine what kind of scene this was.

   "Quickly, report to the two ladies."

   Wei Wushuang and Su Ho couldn't help being overjoyed when they got the news.

   Then the whole family rewarded each person with five hundred coins.

   "There are some difficult times in the workshop. Go and see, isn't the tea workshop going to be expanded? Let those at home do it hard."

  …

  After Gao Yang got the good news, he couldn't help jumping up, "Hurry up, prepare your horse, I'll go to the palace to inquire about the news."

  Xiao Ling was also quite happy, "Princess, there may be a lot of things going on with Your Majesty at the moment."

  Gao Yang thought about it, "Then let people go to the Ministry of War to inquire. Xiao Jia works in the Ministry of War, and those people dare not lose face."

  The Ministry of War is already boiling.

"The Marquis of Wuyang went to Yancheng in the first battle and killed more than 30,000 people. He even built a capital and watched it outside Yancheng, making the enemy frightened. Afterwards, he followed the army to defeat the enemy's elite, and led 300 horses to step on the Turkic tooth tent... Datang mighty!"

  The military department was filled with excitement.

  Ren Yaxiang left the half-boiled tea soup and walked out of the guard room.

   "Go down to the Yamen to drink!"

   This kind of great victory must drink heavily to vent the excitement.

  Two servants came, and You Shi smiled and said: "The Marquis of Wuyang just entered the military department, and the subordinate officials felt that this young man was extraordinary. Sure enough, the First World War shocked the Turks, hahahaha!"

Wu Kui felt that this man was shameless, "The Marquis of Wuyang made our Ministry of War honored by this battle. Ren Shangshu, Marquis of Wuyang should still be on his way back. I wonder if I bought some gifts in the name of the Ministry of War to go to Jia Let's take a look around..."

   This old thing!

  You Shi smiled and said, "There are only two women left in the Jia family, how can we go about it?"

   "This statement is wrong." Wu Kui said solemnly: "The old man's wife is quite kind, you can go to Jia's house."

  You Shi looked at him and cursed shamelessly!

  Wu Kui's move is clearly to build relationships.

  The best way to strengthen the relationship is to take nepotism. The relationship between the female relatives of the two families is good, and it is difficult for men to think about it.

  Old Wu, you are so ugly!

  Ren Yaxiang said: "Wu Shilang's words are good, but the lady in the old man's family is more suitable."

  You style: "..."

   Later, Ren Yaxiang's old wife went to Jia's house.

   "The two ladies, the wife of Ren Shangshu of the Ministry of War is here."

  Wei Wushuang and Su Ho were startled and rushed out to meet them.

  This is my husband's immediate boss, so I can't afford to offend him.

  As soon as they met, the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Ren held their hands and praised them with a smile...

  First they praised their beauty, and then praised Jia Pingan for being young and promising, and he will definitely be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future...

  The atmosphere between the host and the guest was very good, and then Mrs. Ren left a gift.

   "How good is this..."

  With no relatives and no reason, and it’s not a special day, this gift is not easy to accept!

  Madam Ren said with a cold face, "No?"

Well!

   If you don't accept it, you won't give face!

  So Mrs. Ren returned home satisfied.

  Back home, Ren Yaxiang was drinking.

   "What do you think of the two women of Marquis Wuyang?"

   "The eldest lady is shrewd and dignified, and the second wife is delicate and simple, but she is not lacking in understanding. But after all, they are born as palace maids. When Marquis Wuyang holds a high position in the future, this background will be criticized."

Ren Yaxiang raised his glass and drank heavily, and then said flatly: "If the Marquis of Wuyang can occupy a high position, with his military exploits, who would dare to put his beak on his wife? Isn't it just for the glory of his wife and children? Wuyang This old man, Hou, has thought about it in the past, acted resolutely, and knows how to measure..."

Ren Yaxiang poured himself out, "He is commensurate with the queen's siblings, but he has never relied on it. Think about Li Yifu, ever since he became the empress' confidant, he has been arrogant and domineering... This is the way to bring disaster .”

  The old wife was puzzled, "Why?"

   "Think about the cruel officials in Emperor Wu's time, whether it's Zhang Tang or whoever, whoever will end well."

  The old wife shook her head, "I don't understand these things."

  Ren Yaxiang smiled, "The Marquis of Wuyang knows how to measure, and he doesn't use it to be domineering. This is a blessing."

   People!

  Ren Yaxiang smiled and said: "Today Li Yifu fought with Xu Jingzong, and many people were astonished. The original Xu Jingzong was not worth mentioning, but now he is speaking impartially in the court. Do you know why?"

  The old wife smiled and said, "Didn't Xu Jingzong be rude at Empress Wende's funeral back then? It can be seen that he was a rude person."

   "But after he went to Huazhou for a trip, he came back again, and his whole person changed."

   "Why?"

"trouble marker!"

  Ren Yaxiang sighed, "After he made friends with Jia Pingan, this person changed. Why did he change? The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is hard to change. This is because of the role of broom stars."

  The old wife was stunned, "Then is this a broom star?"

   "Fu Xing!"

  …

Good night!
