[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 20 Conquer 04

Without waiting for Wu Xu to think it over clearly, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu directly agreed to Xiao Li Xianggong's request and asked him to go to Tibet as a deputy envoy, but he could not reveal his real identity to others. , Disabled, but there is no government pension.

The conditions proposed by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu were a bit harsh, but Li Sanlang agreed without hesitation.

His Royal Highness expressed strong protest against Mr. Li's anonymous visit to Tubo, and hoped that his father would send Mr. Li a few more guards as bodyguards.

Of course, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu mercilessly rejected this proposal.

His Royal Highness had no choice but to turn around and beg Wu Xu.

Well, in fact, Wu Xu didn't understand why Li Hong, who had resisted Li Sanlang a while ago, would suddenly defend him.There are no Ouchi guards, but the guards that accompany the mission can go with more people =. =

What surprised Li Zhi and Wu Xu even more was that Wu Minzhi offered to go to Tubo with Li Sanlang as a guard.

Things have come to this, Wu Xu can't stop Li Yifu's wish to go to Infernal Affairs as a cameo, and at the same time repeatedly ask Wu Minzhi to be careful, even if he can't get any information, he must come back alive - just bumping into each other Well, Mother Wu's pass is not easy!

The handsome Bingshan nodded so coolly that he pulled Li Hong to say goodbye.

Wu Xu carefully checked the things to be sent to Tubo again, and replaced the lacquerware, ironware, and technical books with gold, silver, and Buddhist scriptures—she was not as stupid as His Majesty Li Er, who took the initiative to sell the local specialties of the Tang Dynasty. , seeds and craftsmen from various industries gave to the aboriginal people in Tibet for high development!

Wu Xu suggested that Li Xiaojiu send all luxuries that are fancy or not, including a one-foot-square mercury glass mirror.

In the sixth year of Yonghui, Wu Xu's small glass workshop finally made glass mirrors. Although the mirrors he made were not big enough and the technology needed to be strengthened, Chang'an City had already begun to collect such small mirrors. It's a thousand pieces of gold, and the supply is in short supply!

This time, Wu Xu asked the glass workshop to make a large mirror, and engraved the words "Giving Princess Wencheng" on the back with gold powder, just to win over Princess Wencheng—of course, if the mirror is still like Li Sanlang With such a beautiful man, it is estimated that the success rate of this trip to Tubo will increase a lot!

Before the emissary team left, Wu Xu specially invited Li Sanlang and Wu Minzhi to meet again, and once again told them to be careful, pay attention to personal safety first, and spy on the national conditions of Tubo. The cows and horses are back...

Little Li Hong sitting next to Wu Xu looked unhappy, and he didn't know whether he was reluctant to part with his elder brother or the smiling little Tai Tuo.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Da Lang and Li Xiang, you two should take care of yourself, go back early!" Wu Xu said everything he had to say, and waved his hands to make them retreat.

"I would like to obey." Wu Minzhi and Li Yifu stood up at the same time and bowed to Wu Xu, then exited the hall.

Little Li Hong's face was still full of anger.

He waited until the two of them were gone, and then he said to Wu Xu sullenly: "Mother, brother, is it really okay for them to go to Tubo this time?"

Sure enough, I am still worried!

Wu Xu couldn't help but patted his son's head, and said with a smile, "Don't worry!"

"But..." Little Li Hong still frowned, and whispered: "Li Lang said that he went to Tubo to steal the map of the Tubo army's troop distribution... Isn't...isn't this very dangerous?"

Wu Xu was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that Li Yifu even told Li Hong about this, that he would trust a five-year-old child so much? !

"Is Hong'er worried about Li Langjun?" Wu Xu couldn't help but put away her smile.

Li Hong didn't answer Wu Xu's question directly, but asked seriously: "If Li Lang...fails this time, will he be killed?"

"What do you think?" Wu Xu realized that her son was indeed different from before...

Before, she had always felt that although Li Hong's ability to manage politics had made great progress thanks to Li Sanlang's dedicated teaching, the degree of black belly didn't seem to have deepened much, and it seemed that he was more pure...

Looking at it now, his son is of course pure and lovely, but his mind is no longer pure. At least he doesn't have the slightest resentment towards Li Yifu's going to work as a spy in another country, and he is still worried about the other party's personal safety!

Little friend Li Hong pursed his lips and answered after a while: "Li Lang is a talent, it's a pity to die in the feudal land..." After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhengtai looked at Wu Xu with fixed eyes, and he didn't ask Wu Xu for help. , but made the latter feel a sense of guilt—if Li Yifu is not protected, her conscience will be disturbed, right?

Wu Xu couldn't help but wiped his face, trying to make himself look a little more upright: "How can the husband of the Tang Dynasty die in Tubo?"

"Still, Dalang, you don't believe in your elder brother's swordsmanship?"

With Wu Minzhi's force value, it's no problem to run with Li Sanlang, right?

Besides, she spent a lot of money to prepare a lot of gifts this time, and wrote a personal letter to Princess Wencheng, recalling the past friendship and looking forward to the future development. Princess Wencheng will also protect the safety of the mission!

Of course, on this point, Wu Xu still needs to organize his language well and explain it to his son in detail...

Children don’t need to know about beauty tricks for the time being, but His Royal Highness must learn how to use sugar-coated bullets, silver bullet attacks, and emotional attacks (such as hometown and nostalgia)!

Little Li Hong was taught for a while, and then he went back to do his homework—Xiao Li Xianggong is leaving, but in order not to let His Royal Highness forget him, he specially left a lot of homework ==

The mission to Tubo set off soon, accompanied by a thousand elite soldiers as guards, led by Wu Minzhi.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw the mission off at the Tai Chi Hall, and asked the prince to send the chief and deputy ambassadors out of the Chengtian Gate.

After his brother who was always inseparable from him left, His Highness the Crown Prince was very depressed for a while.

But soon, Li Hong's attention was attracted by the cute, smart and cunning little Li Xian, the second fat kid. Even in the days that followed, Li Xian was the most important person in his heart. younger brother……

This is something.

However, after the Tubo mission left Chang'an, Wu Xu followed Li Xiaojiu to pull out a large number of officials from aristocratic families from the database of the Ministry of Officials, and named them governors of various provinces. Inspect prisons.The selected governors all packed their bags and went to take office happily, as if they had been beaten with blood, but they didn't know that once they left, they would never think about returning to the central government.

There are a large number of vacancies in the court, but Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu still feel that the supply is in short supply, because in the past few years, their young couple has secretly reserved a lot of young and strong officers at the grassroots level, and many of them are already the top leaders of a state and a government. Competent for the work of the central government.

After screening, a total of 110 three young cadres were promoted from the grassroots to Beijing, and they were sent to various departments of the central government for internships.After more than a month of training and practice, these young officials gradually began to take over the actual work of various departments.

The big blood change didn't take too much time, and it was basically completed by the end of February in the second year of Xianqing.

During this period, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also made some adjustments to Wu Xu's military arrangements for various border crossings during the acting period. The [-] troops arranged on the border of Tubo did not move, while the troops stationed at the two Dufu Mansions of Kunling and Mengchi were arrested. Quietly mobilized one-third of the troops. In addition, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also secretly mobilized tens of thousands of forbidden troops from Yongzhou, Bingzhou and Luozhou, and sent them to Liaodong...

As for personnel, Li Xiaojiu named Su Dingfang the Duke of Xing Guo and gave him the title of Director of Yili Road.Xue Rengui was granted the title of General Hussars, and he was given the title of Director of Shenqiu Dao.When Wu Xu first heard that Li Xiaojiu named Xue Rengui a "General of Hussars", she couldn't help feeling embarrassed. There was no title of Hussars General in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and as soon as she heard this title, she immediately thought of the time when the wolf lived in Xu Huo Qubing!

Looking at Li Xiaojiu's secret transfer of troops to Liaodong, no matter how stupid Wu Xu is, he knows what Li Xiaojiu is going to do!

"Jiulang, don't you think it's too hasty to plan Liaodong now?" Although Goguryeo will fight sooner or later, isn't it too hasty to start now?

No, but Li Xiaojiu smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm not in a hurry, someone should be in a hurry..."

As if to confirm his words, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu had just appointed the two chief ministers, and Queen Jin Chunqiu of Silla sent envoys to Chang'an for help...

This Queen Jin Chunqiu is the younger sister of Queen Shande who admired His Majesty Li Er very much at the beginning. She has only been on the throne for two years, and her attitude towards Datang is extremely submissive. .

Now as soon as the Silla envoys arrived in Chang'an, they rushed to the Taiji Palace to submit a petition for help, complaining in tears about the tragic incident of Goguryeo's alliance with Baekje and Mohe's soldiers for invading Silla, and begging the suzerain of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to uphold justice as soon as possible!

After Wu Xu heard what the Silla envoy said, she was so happy...ah, no, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: This is really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get here!

She was worried that she had no excuse to send troops to beat Goguryeo, but the other party actually sent the pigtail to her door by herself!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu deserves to be a well-known benevolent monarch at home and abroad. After hearing the envoy's words, he immediately became "furious", denounced the shameless behavior of Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries, and promised to send troops to teach those invaders a lesson, and restore a peaceful and peaceful environment to the international community. !

Just as the Silla envoy was about to thank you, the Queen's wife suddenly sighed and said, "It is the duty of the Tang Dynasty to send troops, but last year several states in our country were hit by natural disasters, and the western region used troops several times, resulting in countless casualties and a waste of military expenditure... ...If we send troops to Liaodong again, I'm afraid..." Well, the landlord's family has no food left!

The Silla envoy couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and forgot to wipe away his tears and nose.

However, those who can be envoys are the best of the best. The Goryeo envoys immediately reacted after being stunned, and immediately said that their Queen would not bother the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in vain, as long as they can repel Goguryeo , Baekje and other invading forces, the enshrinements are greatly reduced!

The author has something to say: the war is about to start, so let’s talk about it after extorting some military spending. =
