- Zhang Xu¨¡n looked at Zhang Xun quietly and said calmly, "What did An Sishun from Jiannan say?"
"Back to Your Majesty, An Sishun urgently reports: The Nanzhao people took advantage of our Lord's expedition to Tibet to move tens of thousands of households including Shiman, Shunman, Moxieman, Mangman, and Nongdongman to expand the east and enrich the northeastern territory. At the same time, Set up Jiedu envoys in Lishui City to take charge of more than ten tribes including gold teeth, lacquer teeth, embroidered feet, embroidered faces, carved inscriptions, and monks."
Zhang Xun said hurriedly.
Although the internal affairs of the Nanzhao people are worthy of attention, they do not require An Sishun to report urgently.
Zhang Xu¨¡n¡¯s expression remained unchanged, knowing that Zhang Xun had something else to say, so he didn¡¯t rush to ask questions, and waved his hand to signal Zhang Xun to continue.
"The king of Nanzhao, Ge Luofeng, went on two expeditions and established a great reputation. He conquered the Xundian and Luo Xing tribes and defeated the Bi Kingdom in the south. Recently, he went straight into the Baiman and Nanning Prefecture, taking all the Wuman land as his own. .¡±
"King Wuman asked An Sishun from Jiannan for help. An Sishun didn't dare to be a master, so he hurriedly reported to your majesty and asked for orders."
Zhang Xun finished speaking softly and stood there waiting for the emperor's reaction.
"Zhang Xun, does this mean that Nanzhao actually conquered the east and west, and now the territory has more than doubled? The current Nanzhao king is not simple. I heard that he has a very capable Han under his command, named Zheng Hui, it seems that with Zheng Hui¡¯s Geluofeng, he is really more powerful than a tiger!"
Zhang Xu¨¡n gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Zhang Xun and Guo Ziyi looked at each other, unable to answer. They didn't know that Ge Luofeng had a Han Chinese named Zheng Hui under his command, and they didn't know how the emperor knew about this situation.
In fact, in the eyes of the two powerful ministers, Nanzhao was just a small barbarian country in the southwest and was not worth mentioning at all. The movements in the southwest did not arouse their sufficient vigilance and attention.
Zhang Xu¨¡n sighed, looked at Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate this Nanzhao. If this Nanzhao becomes a climate, it will be more difficult to deal with than the Tubo people."
"They were sure that I would conquer Tibet and mobilize the whole country to conquer the west. They felt that the imperial court was unable to take care of the southwest, so they took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it, preparing to expand their power before the imperial court could react."
"Okay, I will let the people of Nanzhao see what the majesty of the Celestial Empire is inviolable. I summoned Fan Sijun from Lingnan to assemble an army to pretend to attack Nanzhao, ordered Gu Xi from Tubo to lead his army south to pretend to attack Nanzhao, and ordered An Sishunju The soldiers of Jiannan, known as one hundred thousand, rushed to Nanning Prefecture to take back the Wuman and Baiman lands from the Nanzhao people. At the same time, the Wuman King was canonized as the naturalized king and told the barbarians that if Nanzhao did not accept the king's transformation, If barbarians can replace them, I will make them a vassal state."
Zhang Xu¨¡n suddenly waved his hand and said, "That's it for the time being. The two feint attacks cooperate with An Sishun's march. As long as An Sishun helps the barbarians regain their lost ground, I don't need to worry about the next thing."
"Okay, tell me, is there any news about Li Gong who fled to the Western Regions?" Zhang Xu¨¡n quickly put aside the affairs of Nanzhao. He now wants to concentrate on pacifying the Western Regions. As for Nanzhao, Can be postponed.
Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Li Gong only had a few thousand remnants of his troops to flee into the Western Regions. It was already difficult for him to do so. After entering the Western Regions, Li Gong fled along Monan to Shule, where he was granted the title of Chang Qing and led an army to conquer. After the defeat, less than a thousand soldiers were left. The person fled to Tuqishi, and the news is currently unknown.¡±
Zhang Xu¨¡n pondered for a moment and then stood up suddenly and said, "Okay, let's go ahead and summon you. I have decided that on the 15th day after the Shangyuan Festival, we will raise an army of 200,000 to march to the Western Regions. Prince Huihe Gele will be ordered to lead 50,000 Huihe troops and horses to assist in the battle."
"Summoned to Feng Changqing of Anxi, summoned the thirty-six kings of the Western Regions to Qiuci, and took the title of king to appear before me! Anyone who surrenders can retain the title of king. Anyone who refuses to obey will be destroyed by my troops. !¡±
After Zhang Xu¨¡n finished speaking, he walked away.
Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun were left looking at each other, shocked and pale.
The two of them did not expect that the emperor would be so aggressive and would directly use force to coerce the countries in the Western Regions to surrender. This meant that the emperor had to change the practice of ruling the Western Regions by the Central Plains dynasty for more than a hundred years and bring the Western Regions into regular order. , state and county three-level administrative governance. But, the country with dozens of city walls in the Western Region has existed for hundreds of years, can it be destroyed so easily?
"Mr. Guo, your Majesty, this time" Zhang Xun smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid the entire Western Region will be shaken by this edict"
Guo Ziyi also sighed, "Your Majesty's talents and strategies are beyond our ability to guess. Since Your Majesty is like this, there must be deep meaning."
"Zhang is worried that Feng Changqing will not be able to control the situation in the Western Region." Zhang Xun sighed again.
"Two prime ministers, you can rest assured that there will be no chaos in the Western Regions." Tian Kexin and Duan Fei Guo Fu walked in side by side, smiled at them and said, "The so-called thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are mostly one city, and many are surrounded by With tens of thousands of troops, ranging from hundreds to thousands, His Majesty is marching westward.??Entering the Western Region through Yumen Pass, if there are those who disobey the king's transformation, raise your troops to destroy them together, just like raising your hands. "
"Throughout the past dynasties, the reason why the Western Regions have been called vassals but have never been truly included in the territory of the imperial court is that the important factor is that there are many political powers and they cannot achieve effective control. Neither the Anxi Protectorate nor the Beiting Protectorate can control the barbarians in the Western Regions. Forming effective control. Therefore, as long as the Central Plains' national power is weak, the Western Regions will be in chaos. But when the Central Plains' national power is strong, the Western Regions will change their tune and join again, such a vicious cycle. If this situation does not change, the imperial army, horses, money and food can only be wasted. "
"It costs a lot of money for the imperial court to station troops in the four towns of Anxi and the towns of Beiting. If the Western Region can be turned into a land of internal governance and the troops can be raised locally, the burden on the imperial court will be greatly reduced."
"Therefore, Your Majesty should use great courage, great wisdom and great strategy to vigorously promote the strategy of pacifying the west and reducing the country. Why not trade temporary chaos for long-term stability and prosperity?"
Tian Kexin was talking eloquently and in high spirits.
The look on Guo Fu's side was rather strange, because she knew that this strategy came from Tian Kexin's suggestion. The emperor thought for a long time and approved Tian Kexin's suggestion.
Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun looked at each other and smiled, nodding and smiling at Tian Kexin, "Sir Tian is indeed the leader of the girls, with extraordinary insights. It is a blessing for the world to have Mr. Tian by your Majesty's side to assist in planning!"
After saying that, the two of them saluted Guo Fu together and said, "Your Majesty Guo Ziyi (Zhang Xun) pays homage to Concubine Duan!"
Guo Fu quickly stepped aside and hurriedly returned the greeting, "Father, Prime Minister Zhang!"
Although she is an imperial concubine, how can she act like an imperial concubine when facing her father and Zhang Xun, who is like an elder.
Tian Kexin laughed and said, "Mr. Guo, Kexin came over today and I have a favor to ask."
Tian Kexin came over with Guo Fu and saw Guo Ziyi. Obviously they had something to talk about. Seeing this, Zhang Xun said goodbye and left.
"Xiang Guo, Ke Xin's father is still serving as an official in Fan Yang, for various reasons, Ke Xin wants to beg Mr. Guo to speak kindly in front of His Majesty and find another job for my father. Either he goes to Beijing or goes to various towns, as long as he leaves Just Fan Yang."
Tian Kexin bowed down with some embarrassment, but it was neat and clear, and she directly explained her purpose. She dragged Guo Fu here today to ask Guo Ziyi to plan an official position for her father Tian Chengsi.
Tian Chengsi was promoted to general Fan Yang. The emperor had promised to let him go to the south of the Yangtze River as a governor. But later, for some unknown reason, the emperor forgot about it and never canonized Tian Chengsi. As a result, Tian Chengsi is still a servant. Gu Huaien's subordinates became officials. That's fine, but because Tian Chengsi and Fan Yang were demoted to generals, it was naturally extremely embarrassing for him to stay in Fan Yang.
After waiting for a long time to see the emperor's arrangements, I could only write letters to my daughter Tian Kexin again and again, begging her to be accommodating in front of the emperor.
Tian Kexin often appeared in front of the emperor, and she could have asked for help on her own, but considering the emperor's temperament, she also vaguely guessed that the emperor seemed to have other ideas. After thinking about it, she still wanted to ask Guo Ziyi for help. In fact, it was just to let Guo Ziyi speak and pierce this layer of window paper.
She has the best relationship with Guo Fu, so she dragged Guo Fu here.
After hearing this, Guo Ziyi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He has heard about Tian Chengsi¡¯s affairs. But the emperor remained silent, and he could not say anything.
After thinking about it, Guo Ziyi looked at Tian Kexin and said secretly: Are you still asking me for help? It is a lie that the emperor keeps you by his side to use your talents, and it is true that he is afraid that he would like to take you as his concubine. The emperor has never canonized your father, why shouldn't he still blame you? If you can achieve good things with the emperor as soon as possible, let alone being transferred to Jiangnan, even if you are granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, it may not be impossible.
"If the emperor has this kind of intention, how do you ask me to do it?" ?
Seeing that Guo Ziyi was silent, Guo Fu couldn't help but softly said, "Father"
Guo Fu and Tian Kexin are very good friends and have a close relationship. In Zhang Xu¨¡n's harem, Guo Fu was somewhat distant from Li Tengkong and Su Hudong, and even more distant from the Tubo woman Zhuoma, and gradually came together with Tian Kexin. In fact, Tian Kexin also gave her a lot of ideas, teaching her how to get along with the emperor, how to get along with Li Tengkong and Su Hudong.
Guo Ziyi waved her hands in embarrassment and said, "Master Tian, ??actuallyit's hard for outsiders to say anything about this matter. As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. General Tian Chengsi's future still has to fall on Master Tian."
Guo Ziyi¡¯s face became very wonderful from this.
Tian Kexin was startled. As for the so-called authorities, she had never thought about it. But when she saw Guo Ziyi's expression was so strange today and what a smart and clear-minded person she was, she immediately felt like she had a mirror in her heart.
Her face turned red,Unable to stay still, he hurriedly saluted Guo Ziyi and then left in embarrassment.
Guo Fu frowned, looked at her father and said softly, "Father"
Guo Ziyi came closer and lowered her voice and said, "Fu'er, does your Majesty keep Tian Kexin by your side really just to counsel military aircraft? You must understand His Majesty's thoughts."
Guo Fu suddenly realized it, her eyes flickered, and another idea came to her mind.
The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon. Although the emperor is not in Beijing, the night of the Shangyuan Festival in Liangzhou City is also very lively because of the emperor's presence.
Zhang Xu¨¡n held a banquet for the ministers. After the banquet, he went out to the gate of Liangzhou City and had fun with the soldiers and people of Liangzhou.
?????????????????????????????????????????¡
At the third watch, Zhang Xu¨¡n led Li Tengkong, Guo Fu, and Zhuoma back to the "Imperial Palace" with a group of guards. Tian Kexin remained strangely silent throughout the night, standing silently behind Guo Fu. Because she was wearing a veil, no one knew what she was thinking.
Guo Ziyi¡¯s words caused a big stir in Tian Kexin¡¯s heart. She looked back and thought about it, but she was actually not sure: The emperor was really interested in her? Emperor Xi never settled his father, Tian Chengsi. Could it be that he was hinting that he would throw himself into his arms? If the emperor really wants to accept her as his concubine, what should she do?
Tian Kexin has been in a state of confusion these days, not knowing where to go. She has her own thoughts about the emperor, but she is not an ordinary woman. She intends to stand in the court as a woman and become a female official who will go down in history. If she wants to marry the emperor as his concubine, it means that all her ambitions All will come to naught.
After "entering the palace", Li Tengkong expressed that he wanted to accompany Su Hudong, who was about to give birth, so he went to Su Hudong's palace first, while the emperor was going to Guo Fu's place to rest for a while.
Along the way, Guo Fu was wrapped in a cloak, her little hand was tightly held by the emperor, and she strode with the emperor. After hesitating for a long time, she finally whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
Her words made Zhang Xu¨¡n stunned, and his face instantly became extremely weird.
He had no special arrangements for Tian Chengsi, he just forgot, really forgot.
After the rebellion in Fan Yang was settled, he immediately founded the country, and everything was complicated. Then he led his army to destroy Tubo and prepared for the Western Expedition. For a while, he forgot that Tian Chengsi, a surrendered general, was still in Fan Yang.
He never expected that the ministers around him would think that he was coveting Tian Kexin's beauty for some other reason This misunderstanding was huge Poor Zhang Xu¨¡n, now he doesn't even know what Tian Kexin's true appearance is. Not seen.
Zhang Xu¨¡n subconsciously looked back at Tian Kexin who was following behind. Seeing her graceful figure and lightly raised veil, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, waved her hand and said, "Kexin, come with me!"
Tian Kexin followed the emperor and Guo Fu into Guo Fu's palace in an uneasy mood. The emperor was sitting there. Guo Fu winked at her, then bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the kitchen to urge my servants to make some lotus seed soup. Your Majesty, please eat something to warm yourself up."
Before the emperor could speak, Guo Fu took the initiative to retreat.
Zhang Xu¨¡n opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly.
Tian Kexin sighed quietly, stepped forward and bowed down, "Kexin is paying homage to His Majesty, but I don't know what the purpose of Your Majesty's summons is!"
Zhang Xu¨¡n was speechless. He didn't know how to speak for a while.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "Kexin, I have been negligent about your father's affairs. Let's see, in one or two months, I will transfer Cheng Qianli back to Beijing, transfer servant Gu Huai'en to Beiting, and Zhang Tong If you enter Fanyang to succeed Pugu Huai'en, your father will return to the capital and become a general of the capital."
When Tian Kexin heard this, she felt excited. She hesitantly raised her hand and landed it in front of her.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and took off the veil resolutely. (To be continued!) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
