Historical records record: the first year of Xianheng, that is, 670 AD. Because of the severe drought, the world was pardoned and Xianheng was changed.
The Tang Dynasty defeated the four towns in Anxi, and the Tang army restored the country in Tuyuhun and defeated Dafeichuan. Xue Rengui, Guo Shifeng, and Ashina Daozhen were exempted from death.
Goryeo was dissatisfied with the rule of Tang Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty once again pacified Goryeo, which lasted four years.
But the history books record the historical facts of Li Hong's previous life, and the current historian is in the Daming Palace, recording and enjoying himself.
The severe drought in Guanzhong did not have much impact on Guanzhong due to the disaster relief mechanism of Li Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the joint efforts of Zong Chuke of Jingzhao Prefecture.
The relief food that the people received from the canal has almost made them forget about the drought.
Even the officials of Chang'an, big and small, were all smiling and relaxed. They all spoke highly of the Ministry of Revenue's vigorous and resolute disaster relief strategy under the leadership of Jinghui.
And the credit for all this, whether it goes to Li Zhi, Wu Mei, or the big bosses from the three provinces and six ministries, all know that it was created by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the Chongwen Pavilion.
Therefore, Li Zhi was smiling every day these days. Even quarreling with Wu Mei felt a little more fun. Even the Puwang Mansion where Helan Minyue was confined was rarely visited.
April of the first year of Xianheng: Report...His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, defeated Tubo Zedang and annihilated Nie Chizan, one of the seven Tienchi kings of Tubo, with 20,000 cavalry, totaling 80,000 soldiers.
Report...His Royal Highness, Li Hong, the Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate, defeated the Tubo Xibo Ye tribe and annihilated Mu Chizan, the Seventh King of Tianchi, with 60,000 troops.
Report...His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, defeated the Tubo Sangye and annihilated Ding Chizan, the Seventh King of Tianchi, with 50,000 troops.
Report...His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, defeated the Tubo Duokang and Xiangxiong cities, and wiped out 40,000 men of Suo Chizan and Da Chizan, the Seven Heavenly Red Kings. Suo Chizan and Da Chizan died in battle.
"Where is he now?" Li Zhi stood up and walked to the sand table. His dreams in the past few days were all about the news of Li Hong's defeat of Tibet.
What excites him even more is that as Li Hong continues to advance, with such overwhelming momentum, it is just around the corner to capture the Tubo King's City.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Chief Protector of the Anxi Protectorate, Li Hong, have now sent troops to Gongbu City, which is guarded by the seven Tubo Tianchi kings, De Chizan and Si Chizan. As long as Gongbu is destroyed, His Highness the Crown Prince will It can be pointed directly at Luoche City," said Ren Yaxiang, Minister of War, with an excited and heroic expression.
"How many troops does he have now?" Li Zhi asked, rubbing his hands together excitedly and looking at the topographic map of Tubo on the sand table.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his troops with a total of more than 47,000 people. Black Teeth Changzhi was ordered to set out from Shule to provide assistance." Ren Yaxiang looked at Li Zhi's excitement, and he himself seemed to be celebrating the New Year, and continued: " Now there are more than 10,000 Chen soldiers in Shule, led by Yao Chong, and there are also more than 10,000 soldiers in Suiye City, led by Huan Yanfan. "
Li Zhi frowned when he heard this. He had never heard of these two people, so he raised his head and asked the Minister of Civil Affairs: "Who are these two people? What is their official rank? Why have I never heard of these two people?"
Li Yiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked tense and said with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty, these two are the students of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who are leaving from the Hongwen Hall. Since they have not entered the official position, they do not have a rank registered in the Ministry of Personnel. "
"Are you worthy of a big job?" Li Zhi was unhappy, and all the low-level people were sent to guard him.
"This... minister... I don't know yet..." Li Yiyan said with some sweat on his forehead and fear.
"My son was born and died in Tubo, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs did not send officials to the Anxi Protectorate to assist my son? Li Yiyan, what are your intentions? Shule and Suiye are our Tang Dynasty's defense lines against the Tubo and Baiyi Dashi. How can we do this? Are you putting yourself at the mercy of others?" Li Zhi was really angry.
Not only was he not asked about me, but my son was used in this question, which is enough to show that Li Zhi was very angry at the court and Li Hong for not fully supporting him.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Anxi Protectorate has never selected officials from the Ministry of Personnel since His Highness the Crown Prince assumed the position of Chief Protector. They all rely on the original officials of the Anxi Protectorate. I have also sent letters to the Crown Prince, but they have not I haven't waited for His Highness the Crown Prince's reply," Li Yiyan said cautiously.
"Resigned from office, Guo Zhengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, will serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the dynasty will be dismissed." Li Zhi ignored Li Yiyan's explanation and left with a flourish.
"Your Majesty, I shall obey your Majesty's punishment. However, I have something else that I need to report to Your Majesty immediately." Li Yiyan looked at Li Zhi who was about to leave and said hurriedly.
He didn't seem to care much about his dismissal.
"Say." Li Zhi stood still, turned around, and looked at him coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yiyan took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, slowly opened it and handed it to Yang Wu, and then said: "Your Majesty, this was just sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, requesting the Ministry of Civil Affairs to dispatch Dai Zhide and Hongwen Hall Several gentlemen immediately rushed to the Anxi Protectorate. Now Ma Zai is waiting at Yumen Pass."
Li Zhi didn't speak. He took Li Hong's letter to Li Yiyan, read it carefully, and then left without looking back.
What kind of hawk is Li Hong, this little brat, playing in Tubo? I'm afraid no one except him and Pei Xingjian knows their plan now.
Li Zhi was wondering what Li Hong wanted to do! Dai Zhide was dismissed from his post and given a nobility status by him, and now he wants to send Dai Zhide to Anxi. Why
Full of worries, he walked to Wu Mei's palace and saw Li Xian and Li Zhe kneeling there, being scolded by Wu Mei.
The puzzled Li Zhi circled around the two princes kneeling on the ground, shook his head and sat down next to Wu Mei, and then asked aloud: "What's going on?"
"See for yourself." Wu Meihan handed an article to Li Zhi with a cold face.
"Fighting cock poem? Who wrote it? What's going on?" Li Zhi also frowned and looked at Li Xian and Li Zhe.
Li Xian lowered his head, his face a little pale, and Li Zhe did the same, hanging his head like a defeated rooster.
Wu Mei looked at the two people who enjoyed cockfighting in the palace every day, and couldn't help but think of Li Hong who was far away in Tubo and was fighting a bloody battle at this time.
After such a comparison, Wu Mei couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. They were both princes, but compared to their ancestor who made people want to beat him eight hundred times every day, they were completely different.
Although that Tiantian did some strange things and looked like he deserved a beating every day, look at Taiyi City, which seemed to be making money, and look at the four towns in Anxi today. Such achievements are now comparable to those of the late emperor. At this age.
But the two people in front of them only knew how to have fun fighting cocks in the palace and lived a leisurely and luxurious life.
As a court official, Wang Bo was introduced to Li Xian's Prince Pei's palace by the examiner and served as the palace's editor. In order to please his master Li Xian, he wrote an article "An Essay on the Chickens of King Li Zhe" to attack Li Zhe's cockfighting. Come and cheer for Li Xian.
At that time, he passed Li Changbo's last article "Ode to the Eastern Mountains", and then passed the Yousu examination and was awarded Chaosanlang, becoming the youngest imperial official in the Tang Dynasty.
Then there was another piece "Ode to the Qianyuan Palace", which was praised by Li Zhi for its vivid writing and beautiful writing. He exclaimed: "A wizard, a wizard, I am the wizard of the Tang Dynasty."
It was also because of this incident that Wang Bo, who was not as good as the weakest, was ranked alongside Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and King Luo Bin, and was promoted to the top of the Four Heroes.
Li Hong knew about this at the time, but he just curled his lips and showed disdain.
At that time, Wu Mei thought that Li Hong had a young mind and was a little jealous because of Wang Bo's fame.
After all, his son is also a very talented young man. Although he does not write many poems, every one of them is popular and a rare masterpiece.
What's more, when they visited Qujiang Pond, Wang Bo composed a poem, but Li Hong didn't. Although in the end, he used a magic trick like a blindfold to win the favor of the whole house, and even surpassed Wang Bo's momentum.
But Wu Mei always thought that Li Hong didn't want to see Wang Bo because Wang Bo was vaguely more talented than him.
Now it seems that Li Hong has had foresight for a long time. He has seen through Wang Bo at a young age and did not hold on to him like Yang Jiong.
Although Yang Jiong has not yet entered the top grade, he is already a unique talent in the four towns of Anxi.
In comparison, whether it is Wang Bo, Li Xian or Li Zhe, they are all far behind Li Hong.
I'm afraid that even Yang Jiong's future achievements will not be comparable to that of Wang Bo.
"Crooked talent, crooked talent, the cockfighting between the two kings not only did not stop it, but wrote slogans to add to the fun! He even made up and exaggerated the situation, with the intention of sowing discord between the princes. This person cannot be kept and will be expelled from the palace immediately!" Li Zhi was furious! He threw the article about cockfighting on the ground and hummed in a low voice.
Li Zhi's words made Li Xian and Li Zhe, who were already frightened, lose all color in their faces. This was the first time for them to see their father so angry.
In the past, even if he was so angry today, it was because Lao Wu was messing around in the Four Towns of Anxi, causing his father and mother to quarrel. He never thought that the two of them would end up like this.
But for some reason, even Lao Wu could still smile playfully when facing his furious father and mother. However, they were almost scared to death at this moment, and their legs were so weak that they could not stand up.
Wu Mei didn't speak, just thinking, why could Li Hong see through at a glance that this Wang Bo was not as good as Yang Jiong
Both of them are famous talents, but why does Li Hong favor Yang Jiong so much, but doesn't like Wang Bo who is slightly better
As Li Hong said at the time, no matter how talented a person is, if his character is bad, it will be a disaster if he is used by me.
Thinking of this, I discovered that a letter Li Zhi placed on the table was clearly Li Hong's request to the Ministry of Personnel to dispatch Dai Zhide and others to the Western Regions.
So Wu Mei looked at the letter and murmured: "Killing people will destroy the heart, and the country will be destroyed and the culture will be destroyed."
This little brat seems to be planning a big deal in Tubo.
