Xiao Di and Changsun Wugu carefully arranged Li Xian's clothes, carefully smoothing out even the smallest wrinkles. The red-yellow robe and white jade belt were brand new and straight, making the already handsome Li Xian look a little more majestic. This outfit was sewn by Xiao Di and the others themselves, and they did not use tailors specially made for the palace. Every bead and piece of jade on the clothes was sewn carefully by them.
In the Hanyuan Hall, hundreds of courtiers were already standing and waiting.
Helping Li Xian sort out her clothes, Changsun Wugou and others began to help Xiao Di sort out her court clothes. Gorgeous and wealthy, looking dignified and respected.
"nervous?"
Li Xian looked at Xiao Di's somewhat pale face and asked with a chuckle.
Xiao Di nodded, her palms were sweaty.
"I'm nervous too."
Li Xian took out a pure white cloth handkerchief and helped Xiao Di wipe away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead: "I saw you were so nervous during the wedding a while ago, and you still had the guts to go and have a drink with Dugu and the others. Come back When I got to the new house, I didn't even bother to sit there peacefully. I just got Jia'er, Wu Guo, Qing Yuan and Huang Luan all drunk. When I went back, there was a room full of sleeping beauties."
Xiao Di blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly she remembered something and reminded her: "In the future, you can no longer call yourself me in front of the ministers."
Li Xian hummed, smiled and said, "I remember."
Xiao Di peeked outside and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Sister Ye didn't come back during the wedding, and I don't know if she will come on such a big day today. She always said she would go back to Jiangnan. I settled down and continued the thatched cottage, but who would have thought that I would refuse to come back even though I was on the grassland. And Duoduo she should have come back too."
Li Xian was silent.
He walked slowly to the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror wearing a nine-dragon crown and a red and yellow dragon robe. The self in the mirror looks familiar yet unfamiliar, like a dream.
"They will come back."
He said.
¡°I always feel a little regretful.¡±
Xiao Di sighed, then laughed again: "Today is too solemn to bring up unhappy things. When things get better after a while, I will personally go to Saibei to bring them both back. And Ah The little girl led by Shi Najie also misses her."
Changsun Wugou smiled and said: "With your current status, it is difficult for the empress to get out of the fortress. Not to mention the fortress, even when you leave Chang'an City, you are surrounded by people. It is still far away from the grassland. Miss Duoduo and Sister Ye can hear the news. , will definitely come to greet you.¡±
Xiao Di shook her head, looking a little helpless.
"Is the time coming?"
Li Xian asked.
"Come on, the time will come soon, Lord Du Ruhui will come to invite you in person."
A eunuch bent down and said.
Li Xian nodded and took a closer look at himself in the bronze mirror.
I don¡¯t know if today will appear in the history books of future generations. When the children sitting in the bright classroom see this paragraph, what will they think of? They may never imagine that the person who wrote this history once sat in the classroom and listened to the lecture like them. Li Xian suddenly smiled when he thought of this, because he knew that he was thinking too much.
When he was in history class in his previous life, all the textbooks were covered with paper airplanes. I remember once following the trend, I also casually drew a picture in a history book that Du Fu was very busy. But now, Du Fu is still waiting in reincarnation.
"Your Majesty, the time has come!"
At this moment, someone outside reminded softly.
"Walk!"
Li Xian took Xiao Di's hand and said with a smile: "Go and listen to how those people praise their virtues."

Imperial study room
Li Xian looked at the thick pile of memorials on the table and sighed in his heart. He was afraid that he would have to spend every day reviewing these things. What he still can't understand is that those characters in the TV series in his previous life How did the romantic emperor become a philanderer while being an eternal wise king?
Du Ruhui, the first prime minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on a chair not far from the opposite side. He looked at His Majesty the Emperor's expression and wanted to say something but held back.
Li Xian put his thoughts back, looked at Du Ruhui and asked: "Liaodong has always been uneasy, and this matter cannot be left hanging like this. It will be sooner or later to use troops against Goguryeo. Instead of waiting for the generals to be lazy in the future, The soldiers are all distracted, so why not take advantage of the moment to finish everything that needs to be done. I know that we have been fighting for years.The national treasury is not rich either That's why I asked you to come and see if this battle can be won or not. "
"Yuan Gaisuwen has become more and more aggressive these days. If they don't fight they think that the Tang Dynasty is unable to mobilize troops in remote Liaodong, but if they fight, they can't fight like Yang Guang did before. That's not a war at all. , but to go sightseeing."
He glanced at the map hanging on the wall, a greedy gleam in his eyes.
"Liaodong must be fought."
Du Ruhui thought for a while and replied: "But Your Majesty, we cannot hope for a quick victory in this battle. You can dispatch a capable general to guard western Liaoning and plan for it slowly without having to mobilize all the troops in the country. Liaodong is cold and hard, and it is suitable for fighting for only a few months every year. That¡¯s all. I thought that if we apply pressure for many years, we can finally quell it in one fell swoop.¡±
Li Xian nodded and said: "I also have this idea. I will call Xuan Ling and Auxiliary Maogong to discuss it together. But I want to ask you first, do you have any thoughts about the expedition to Liaodong? The right person?"
"The newly promoted general Ying Yanglang, Xue Rengui, is extremely brave and can take on important tasks."
Du Ruhui lowered his head and said.
Li Xian hummed and said: "Xue Rengui is young and vigorous, and is not suitable to lead an army In this way, let Qin Qiong be the general manager of Liaoxi Road and the marshal of the Western Army. Xue Rengui will be the vanguard general, leading 50,000 troops on the expedition. Others The necessary troops and horses are mobilized in Zhuojun, Boling, Weijun and other places in Hebei. Let Chen Queer's navy coordinate and attack slowly. There is no rush to use troops on a large scale at the beginning. Send people there to burn fertile land every year. In the mountains and forests, assassinate some city lords and generals. I will give Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui three years. If three years are not enough, five years will be given. After Liaodong is pacified the navy will follow the trend, and there is still a place that must be attacked. "
Du Ruhui nodded, thought for a while and said, "Actually, Luo Yi is more suitable for the expedition to Liaodong."
Li Xian waved his hand and said with a smile: "He already has that idea, and I can't force him. The first thing Luo Yi did when he entered Chang'an was to see me, and the second thing he did was to break into Wang Bo with his personal soldiers and entourage. Wang Bo's head was decapitated with a knife at his home. When he was in Qi County, Wang Bo injured Shi Xin, and Qiu Luo Yi has never forgotten this."
"I have demoted his prince to the rank of Duke and asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to retire."
Du Ruhui couldn't help but shake his head: "Luo Manzi"
Li Xian waved his hand and said: "He is not really a barbarian who can only use violence but not brains. Can't you guess now why he dared to break into the palace of a court official and kill people?"
Du Ruhui frowned slightly, then shook his head: "I am stupid."
"You're not stupid, you're just pretending to be stupid."
Li Xian smiled and said: "Luo Yi was afraid that I would be wary or suspicious of him. He deliberately made a mistake that was not a big deal but a small one and asked me to strip him of his prince. After all, he is a The two princes are already a great honor He is also trying to reassure me. He seems to be reckless, but in fact no one is more cautious than him. I have demoted his title, I am afraid that he will still be at home. Smirking."
¡°There¡¯s one more thing.¡±
Li Xian thought for a while and said, "The general managers of each department will be rotated in a while. Let's see how the feudal officials make arrangements."
Du Ruhui was silent, then carefully took out a memorial from his sleeve, stood up and walked slowly to Li Xian, bowed and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, Xiong Kuohai, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, Li Daozong, Zhang Gongjin We have jointly signed a memorial, requesting your majesty to allow them to rest in peace, remove their armor and return to their fields."
"Go back to the shit field."
Li Xian took the memorial and threw it aside. He cursed with a smile and said, "Go back and make arrangements. I am hosting a banquet for all the princes in Changchun Garden today If they want to rest, they can rest until the court wants to mobilize troops." , we still have to rely on them.¡±
"I obey the order."
Du Ruhui lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

The sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
Liaodong was pacified, and the four islands of Japan were also pacified. The emperor was overjoyed and led his ministers out of Chang'an to inspect the land of Liaodong. This trip was not very grand. I only brought 300 courtiers and 5,000 soldiers. After leaving Chang'an City, they took the water route. Lai Yuan, deputy commander of the Navy, personally led troops to escort him along the way. There were not many stops along the way, and the fleet rarely docked except to replenish necessary supplies.
After arriving in Liaodong, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and then returned to Zhuojun. He came from the grassland to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He specially came to send congratulatory gifts to celebrate the Tang Dynasty's recovery of Liaodong. The Turkic Khan had been waiting in Youzhou City of Zhuojun for twenty days. .
After Li Xian took a hot bath and tidied up, he called in the Turkic Khan and others who were waiting outside. He just sat down on the chair?A familiar figure rushed in impatiently. The moment he saw Li Xian, the man was dumbfounded and at a loss.
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
She bent down to salute, her chest rising and falling violently due to excitement.
"It's better to call me sir, it sounds nice to me."
Li Xian smiled and motioned for the servants to go out.
He waved, and Ashina finally couldn't help it and ran to Li Xian's side, with crystal tears rolling in her eyes.
"Where is your sister?"
Li Xian raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Ashina's eyes and asked with a smile.
"it's here."
A slightly hoarse but very pleasant voice sounded at the door, and Ashina Duoduo, a graceful figure in a white skirt, slowly walked in holding the hand of a five or six-year-old boy. Following them next to them was Ye Huaixiu, who was dressed in purple and smiled like a flower. After these two women appeared, the room suddenly became brighter.
The moment Li Xian saw Ashina Duoduo and the little boy, he couldn't help but stand up. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the pretty little boy and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He left the chair, walked over quickly, squatted down and looked at the little boy's face carefully, and wanted to hug him with trembling hands.
"Mother who is he?"
The little boy hid behind Ashina Duoduo and asked timidly.
Ashina Duoduo picked up the little boy and walked to Li Xian. There was a smile on her lips. She looked at Li Xian and asked with a sly smile: "This is the next generation of the Turkic royal court. It's not something you can hug casually, butsince the Turks are the great Khan, A vassal state of the Tang Dynasty Then please ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to give this child a name."
Li Xian trembled slightly, stretched out his hand to hug the little boy, and rubbed the child's delicate cheek with his own face: "Li Nian let's call him Li Nian."
Ashina walked up to them with a smile, held Xiao Li Nian's hand and asked: "Tell me, who is your favorite person?"
"Mom said, I want to like daddybut I have never met daddy."

Postscript
It is said that Li Xian, who was later revered as the Holy Ancestor Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once asked a historian to write down such a passage one day. But soon, he ordered this sentence to be deleted. This historian was later executed for dereliction of duty, accepting bribes and tampering with records of the emperor's words and deeds. The words were recorded but quickly disappeared, never to be heard again.
Those who hold the power of the world in the Central Plains are my descendants of the Li family.
Those who hold the power of the world on the grassland are also the descendants of my Li family.
I am the one who holds the authority in the world.
I never thought about killing all the people in the grassland, but I never forgot to make the people in the grassland bow their heads.
