Records of the King of Xin'an County

After the sage woke up, he was carefully diagnosed by the imperial guards, and it was confirmed that the dragon body was fine, and it only needed to rest for a period of time to fully recover.After hearing the news, the clan and officials immediately felt relieved.It is enough that the saint is safe and sound. As for the government affairs of the court, it will not be a big problem to temporarily hand over to a few prime ministers.The so-called prime minister should have the ability to withstand the ups and downs inside and outside the court at this moment.

However, what followed was the news that the sage insisted on "the imperial conquest".It is said that Wu Guogong and Qin An tried hard to persuade him again and again, and Queen Du and Princess Changning also tried hard to persuade him, but the saint insisted on his own opinion without wavering.Even Jian Guogong Xu Ye entered the palace when the army was about to go out, but he failed to persuade the saint.Because the courtiers who visited and persuaded him one after another came and went to the Zichen Palace all the time, even if Queen Du asked to seal the news, the relevant rumors still inevitably spread gradually.

King Jing is currently busy asking Li Ren to revise the call to action against the traitors and provide various evidences of "the common anger of man and god". By the time he hears the news, it is already too late.However, he still put down everything at hand, and hurried to the Zichen Palace to have an audience: "Your Majesty has not yet recovered from his illness, how can he rush to march in person when the dragon is not in good health?"

Li Tai, who was sitting by the side, wanted to echo casually, but suddenly noticed the wink from the uncle, he shuddered slightly, and continued seriously: "Uncle King Jing is right. Saint, resting your body is the most important thing, everything else is important." You can put it back temporarily. Even if the battlefield changes rapidly and waits for no one, you can let the head of the East Road March go first--"

"I'm not neglecting my body." The sage pondered for a moment, then swept his relatives around.

Jing Wang and Wu Guogong Qin An, an uncle and an uncle, are all elders he relies on; his elder brother Li Tai is certainly not enough to rely on, but he also has the advantage of being unreliable, not to mention he has two sons who know the general situation; Princess Linchuan and son-in-law Zhou Ziwu are not capable, but they will not cause trouble; the younger sister, Princess Qinghe and son-in-law Qin Shen needless to say, are deeply trusted by him.

In front of these people, he has almost no worries, and he can express his thoughts: "The rebels are in full swing now. After the fall of Shuozhou, their next target may be Taiyuan Mansion. Taiyuan Mansion belongs to our family. The land of Longxing must be defended no matter what. At this time, it is most appropriate for me to personally conquer and strengthen my army. In addition, there are also Turkic and Tiele tribes who are in trouble together. If I don’t go to personally conquer, other tribes will also Maybe he is ready to make a move and despise me, the emperor of Tang Dynasty."

"Back then, Grandpa went to Lingzhou with illness, accepted the congratulations from all the tribes, and was regarded as the Heavenly Khan. Now if I stayed in Chang'an, wouldn't I have fallen into the title of Grandpa Heavenly Khan? In order to fulfill my filial piety, I should go through this experience and summon the clans in Taiyuan Mansion or Lingzhou to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang!"

"..." Qin An and King Jing looked at each other, as if they were a little shaken.They were only concerned with persuading the sage not to think about it, and they almost forgot that this His Majesty is also a rational person and will never be easily swayed by anger.Moreover, what he said made sense.In any case, at this time, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty must not be damaged in any way, otherwise those barbarians who used to be vassals will immediately take advantage of the situation and cause troubles, causing wars to break out everywhere.

Li Tai still shook his head and said, "Even so, there is no need to hold on to the sick body. When the first battle is won, the saint's body and bones will be better, and it will not be too late to go to Taiyuan Mansion to inspire people."

"It will be too late then." After that, the sage ignored him and continued, "I will take charge of the east, and my cousin Ashina Zhenchu ​​will accompany you as the deputy chief—following thousands of miles away, who is responsible for dispatching food, grass, and guards." I, you may also feel more at ease. For the sake of recuperating, I can walk slowly and let Ashina rush to the battlefield first. However, the imperial conquest's decree must be announced immediately, so as not to delay the battle."

"Saint..." Empress Du was about to speak again, but the saint shook his head towards her: "Zitong, I have made up my mind. Don't worry, I will not go to the battlefield, but I will just stay in the Taiyuan mansion, and I will definitely not." dangerous."

Princess Changning hugged Princess Yong'an and looked at Li Hui in silence.However, Li Hui couldn't say anything more at this time.After all, even Li Tai and Queen Du had already failed, and what he said was only for the sake of the saint's safety.Li Xin looked at Li Wei—his new job seemed to be highly valued, but at the same time he was under great pressure.If anything happens, I am afraid that death will be hard to escape.

"Xuanzhong Shusheren, drafting a decree." In silence, the sage said.

Not long after, Zhongshu Ling brought several Zhongshu Scheeren to see him.After listening to the sage's will, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed in awe, expressing his firm disapproval of the imperial conquest.For this reason, he cast suspicious eyes on King Jing and Wu Guogong Qin An, as if implying that they had ulterior motives.And the servants of Menxia Province also came after hearing the news, and brought a group of highly combative seniors, who spoke thousands of words eloquently, resolutely opposing Yujia's personal conquest.

All in all, they believe that the East Palace is empty and the crown prince has not yet been established.Therefore, the safety of a saint is more important than anything else, and must not be taken lightly.In addition, it is unreasonable and out of etiquette to hand over all the affairs of the court to the prime ministers.

The saint closed his eyes a little irritatedly, and the warden in the palace immediately stepped forward to press his temples knowingly.After a long while, he asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"It cannot be imitated, it should not be imitated, and it cannot be imitated!" Zhong Shuling replied with his neck stuck.

The sage looked at those Zhongshu Sheren expressionlessly, and when he saw that they also kowtowed solemnly, he suddenly felt angry.He coldly patrolled the group of Zhongshusheng and Menxiasheng: "Since you don't follow my will, what's the use of you? Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong go back to the mansion, don't let me see you again." You! Besides—”

His eyes fell on an inconspicuous young man in the corner, and he suddenly remembered that he had also drawn up a will for himself, and it was still the most important decree of the rebel King Hejian County.Heh, it's time to replace this group of disobedient ones with obedient ones. Who knows what they are blocking me for?At least, this young man should not disobey him.

So, he said: "I passed on my oral order to dedicate Prince Zuobuque of the lower province of Zuomen as a member of Zhongshushe. Come, Wang Aiqing, and draw up an order for me."

Prince Xian was startled, and after going forward to thank the saint Long En, he looked up at Li Hui unobtrusively.Li Hui's expression was particularly complicated and difficult to distinguish. He neither wanted him to agree to the draft, but also worried about his career.If a low-ranking official who is as old as the crown loses the trust of the saint because of this, I am afraid it will be difficult to make progress in the future.But if he agrees, it will be very difficult for him to gain a foothold in Zhongshu Province or Menxia Province in the future... and in his heart, there will always be some difficulties.

Just when he was hesitating, Wang Zixian had already made up his mind, lowered his eyes and answered loudly: "I would like to obey the sage's oral instructions." After finishing speaking, he walked to the side and sat down, rubbed his ink and rolled up his sleeves to start writing.

Zhongshuling and his attendant were stunned—there had never been a Zhongshusheren who was weak in age since the Kingdom of China!What is Zhongshu Sheren?It seems that there are only five grades, but that is an important position for a saint to draft a decree!Compared with living and living around saints all the time, it is a position with real power in hand.If you go up from Zhongshusheren, you will be Zhongshu Shilang, or you can be transferred to the sixth minister of Shangshuxing, and then you can look forward to the group of high-ranking officials who serve purple.If he is trusted by a sage, it will only be a matter of years before he becomes a prime minister in the future! !

They were only in shock, and after they realized it, they realized that Wang Zixian had already drawn up the decree.The deal is done, even if Zhongshuling and the servants are resolutely unwilling to sign and seal this imperial decree, which means that the imperial decree has been approved, and the sage still has a way to quickly send the imperial decree from the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to the Shangshu Province—for example , He just wanted to change his cronies to become prime minister.

Therefore, at the cost of changing Zhongshu Ling and the servant, Qin An, the Duke of Wu, who was the left servant of the Minister of Shangshu, got this edict in which the ink was still wet.He sighed deeply, and looked at the saint: "The old minister will never disappoint the saint's expectations... The saint's personal expedition will surely return victorious!"

"Uncle's auspicious words will surely come true." The sage then smiled.

At this time, Concubine Yuan Shu, who was lazily lying on her side on the soft couch in the Chengxiang Hall of Daming Palace, heard a small palace official finish the matter in a low voice, and immediately asked her cronies to give her a big reward.She cast a sideways glance at her niece Yuan Meiren, who was kneeling and kneeling beside her, beating her legs and squeezing her hands with lowered eyebrows. Her red lips curled up: "Our sages have always had this temperament. They look gentle, but they are actually very stubborn. If you're right One thing will definitely not change. Alas, what kind of danger might you encounter in the imperial conquest? I am really worried."

"The sage is the son of heaven, and he has his own dragon energy to protect him, so he will be fine." Yuan Meiren replied obediently.

Concubine Yuan Shu glanced at her with a half-smile: "Really? You can really talk with this delicate mouth." After that, her face changed slightly, as if she was a little disgusted. Full of joy.Yuan Meiren's eyes flicked across her abdomen, her expression seemed a little complicated, and it seemed to imply relief.

Concubine Yuan Shu didn't notice the change in her expression. After pondering for a moment, Fang said: "Speaking of which, the prescriptions presented by Sixteen Niang are indeed useful. It's no wonder that she married that sick child, and she only wanted to take care of her body, so she did it." I found out so many good recipes. I have today, and I should thank her. Oh, no matter, I understand what news she wants. Pick some at will and send them to her. I can’t say in the future, but it will still work. It's their place."

The maid standing in the corner responded softly, bowed her head and stepped back.Soon, she took the waist card and left the Daming Palace smoothly, and went to Yuan's mansion to visit Yuan's mother who was named the county wife.However, no one noticed that after a while, she changed her disguise and got into an inconspicuous carriage in Yuan's mansion, and slowly came to another noble man's mansion.The mistress of this family is sick, and the concubine will take care of the concubine.And this noble concubine is the daughter of the Yuan clan, ranking sixteenth in the clan.
