    Chapter 143: Shooting oneself in the foot It turns out that since hearing about this incident, Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen have thought about who caused this incident.  It¡¯s definitely not Wang Yin. They have known Wang Yin for a long time. Although they like to make some stupid moves, they don¡¯t have much ambition.  So I thought of only three people, Li Guo'er and Shangguan Wan'er or Wang Yin's beautiful concubine.  Dai'er and the others were placed last. After all, she had been in Oceania for a long time, and even Wang Yin had been in Oceania for nearly three years.  This incident only happened after Li Guo'er and Shangguan Wan'er had been in Oceania for several months.  If it¡¯s Li Guo¡¯er, they hope to use her feelings for Wang Hua to persuade her.  So Xiao Yaxuan met Li Bao'er and tried to persuade him. Who knew that after a long time, Li Bao'er asked strangely: "Why don't you let the emperor proclaim himself emperor?" Li Bao'er was also very strange in his heart.  Oceania now has a population of nearly seven million, and there will be hundreds of thousands of parishioners in the coming year. In addition, hundreds of thousands more people are born every year, as well as slaves obtained from other places every year, and people who "submit" in the area where the pioneering land is located, there are  It may be possible to approach 10 million people in less than two years.  During the Sixteen Kingdoms, some people began to proclaim themselves kings and emperors before they had millions of people.  Moreover, Oceania has such a large population, and the number of these populations is still on a sharp upward trend.  After arriving in Oceania, she was also very satisfied. It was better than she imagined. In addition to her capital, Dongfang City, there were more than a dozen other cities being built one by one.  And the size of the city is also expanding. Although some races make it look weird, Tang Dynasty people still account for half of those who work in the fields, operate in the workshops, and walk on the streets.  Besides, the climate of Dongfang City is very similar to that of Chang'an, with four distinct seasons, and the scenery is even better, with mountains, rivers, and the sea.  In addition, being close to the seaside, the air is more refreshing than Chang'an, and it is not as hot as Qinzhou.  Now she is looking forward to Wang Hua leaving that ghost court one day early and coming here.  The question left Elva Hsiao speechless. She didn't listen to what Ganqing said.  But Li Guoer¡¯s question made Elva Hsiao feel that it was obviously not Li Guoer who mentioned this matter first, so he asked her who brought up this topic first.  Li Guoer replied that it was Wang Hua's father, Wang Yin, who told her and asked for her opinion.  But it was definitely not Wang Yin who remembered it, but Elva Hsiao was not easy to ask.  Although the owner they recognized was Wang Hua, Wang Yin was Wang Hua's father. Even Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen had to consider this because of their hard work and merit.  Therefore, we made a hypothesis with Song Wen.  It would be better if it was Shangguan Wan'er who suggested it.  Whether she thought of it first or was inspired by it, she can understand.  Supporting great achievements, especially a woman like her who has gone through several palace changes, will value this even more.  Although it goes against Wang Hua's intention, he always thinks about Wang Hua and himself.  "She will not be ambitious. She is now in Oceania. Except for Wang Hua who can rely on her, no one else will buy her account.  There is no source of ambition.  They are most afraid of being the last person, even though it seems impossible.  After Dai'er was forcibly sent to Oceania, she was very honest. Of course, she was Wang Yin's concubine and Sifeng's mother, so no one dared to treat her lightly.  Later, Wang Yin came to Oceania. At her request, Xiao Yaxuan and others sent people to help secretly, found many of her relatives, and then took them back to Oceania.  Later, I also took the initiative to arrange some things for these people.  Wang Hua frowned, he had just heard about this matter.  But these were all trivial matters, so Elva Hsiao and the others did not report them.  With the current extensive management system, the power is still concentrated in the hands of Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan. It is not how much power they have in their hands, but Wang Hua gave them this right, and everything must be arranged by Wang Hua.  Therefore, the current management model is still mostly retainer-style management.  But unlike other colonies in the Tang Dynasty, it had some vague democratic overtones. ? It can also be said that Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan have great power, or it can be said that they don't. It depends on whether Wang Hua gives it to them or not.  But once an emperor is established, there will be various official positions under the imperial system, but Wang Hua is not in Oceania, so this power is in the hands of Wang Yin, the "Top Emperor".  "But Wang Yin's own knowledge and wisdom are very insufficient.  Then it is possible that Dai'er may be instigated to let her relatives hold important positions, and Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan have been left vacant.  Then it is possible that Oceania will be taken over by this woman with ulterior motives.  So Xiao Yaxuan made an excuse, saying he was going to the American continent, but actually came to Lingzhou quietly.  I don¡¯t know now how many people this woman controls.  Complete?There are still many people who are ambitious.  Hearing Xiao Yaxuan's words, Wang Hua was not sure. He sighed and said, "Then she may not get what she wants." Even if she is ambitious, she may not succeed.  ¡°Because it¡¯s just intrigue, no matter what this woman thinks, she will not be Shangguan Wan¡¯er¡¯s opponent.  Encourage your father to support yourself as emperor, maybe Shangguan Wan'er will support it.  But forcing Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan into such a dilemma, I'm afraid she is also thinking about whether she did the right thing or not.  I couldn't think of anything in a short time. Perhaps under provocation, I thought Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan had other ideas.  But once she sees the signs of Del'er, she will wake up.  Even if he is restrained, Dai'er will be restrained for a period of time.  Immediately send someone to call Zhu Tong.  Aren¡¯t you worried that it will be difficult for the people to evacuate?  Now is the time to make a decision, which tribes to move and which tribes to stay.  These tribes are not only common people, but also have their children in the blood camp.  After this incident, you can publicly use this as an excuse to withdraw the army from the northwest and reach Oceania.  Therefore, Zhu Tong was asked to conduct a detailed investigation again.  But after the soldiers withdrew, the tribes had to find a way to relocate.  Zhu Tong came over after a while and said, "I just have something to report to you. I got news that Tibet invaded south this time and captured a large number of people, property, and food. But he is not dead.  "Young warrior." Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, looking to the south were the countries of Tianzhu.  But as his eyes lit up, he looked at Zhu Tong and smiled.  I am afraid that the Tibetan people themselves are not willing to invade this time. After all, the hot climate in Tianzhu is not suitable for them.  But the reason for doing this is that firstly, a great victory is needed to inspire the soldiers and people, and secondly, they are indeed poor.  The Tubo people feed themselves with war, and the victorious warriors will have higher morale.  Once defeated, financial and material resources will be overwhelmed.  Moreover, two important areas, Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan, were lost.  This is an opportunity. If Tubo is in such a difficult situation, there is still a lot of food and cloth in the northwest, and they can be bribed to let them give up the road.  Zhu Dian saw Wang Hua's eyes light up and knew that Wang Hua had thought of the secret.  So he said: "I have sent someone to talk to them." "We may not be able to negotiate well. I will write a letter to Ge Shuhan and Guo Qianguan later." Tubo also has talents, and must make two plans.  Both of them were smart people, so Zhu Dian left immediately without saying much.  Oceania is the foundation of Wang's paintings, and there cannot be any deviation.  Therefore, Zhu Dian immediately did some census, and the results gave Wang Hua a headache. Although some tribes stayed after persuasion, some new tribes appeared. After repeated consideration, they joined the migrating army.  Rather than fewer people asking to leave, there seems to be an increase in the number of people asking to leave.  Even if the Tubo people agreed, it would still be impossible for so many people to leave.  But Zhu Tong did another thing first and must have selected three thousand soldiers.  This matter cannot be delayed.  Wang Hua explained the reason to the court and asked Xiao Yaxuan to take him away.  Not only did he let him take away three thousand troops, he also let Li Hong, Wang Han and Li Xuejun leave together.  Leading the army was because he was afraid that, as Elva Hsiao said, he would be secretly managed by Dai'er and gain some power.  Li Hong and the others left because they were afraid that Xiao Yaxuan would not be able to control the situation. If Li Guoer continued to be instigated by them, it would be difficult to deal with it even if there was an army.  Therefore, even Li Xuejun was arranged to go together.  This is weighted.  At the same time, he wrote several letters to reprimand Lu Ergou, Shangguan Wan'er and others.  "But these three thousand troops are not only there to control the situation, but also to strictly investigate who started this.  When Shangguan Wan'er left, Wang Hua wrote a letter and asked Xiao Yaxuan and others to guide her and let Shangguan Wan'er learn to handle some affairs.  In fact, it wouldn't be bad, if it hadn't happened like this.  But if Shangguan Wan'er was the one who started it, she would immediately take back the rights in her hands.  But if it was Dai'er who was the one who started it, I would be so sorry. She would be put under house arrest immediately, and all her relatives would be sent back wherever they came from.  When the court heard about this, they were also shocked. Of course, they were not those who took pleasure in others' misfortunes.  So these thousands of people left, with green lights hanging all the way, and no one stopped them.  But something embarrassing happened to the court.  Now that the imperial court has appointed Wei Anshi, Guo Yuanzhen, Dou Huaizhen, Li Rizhi, and Zhang Shuo as prime ministers, Princess Taiping is still very dissatisfied and plans to make Cui Shi the prime minister again.  Cui Shi was very shrewd and said to Princess Taiping: "Lu Xiang has always been pure in heart and stoic, and his words are superb and far-reaching. He was highly praised by people at the time. If Lu Xiang doesn't become the prime minister first, I won't dare to be the prime minister." Princess Taiping had no choice but to ask Li??Let the two of them be together.  Li Dan agreed to move Lu Xiang first, but was unwilling to move Cui Shi. Princess Taiping begged her, and finally Li Dan had to agree.  But if Princess Taiping only recommends Cui Shi this time and does not put Lu Xiang first and Cui Shi together, most likely Princess Taiping will not succeed.  In the meantime, Li Dan summoned Li Xuejun's master Sima Chengzhen again. After talking for a while, Li Dan wanted to keep him in Beijing, but Sima Chengzhen insisted on returning to Tiantai Mountain.  Minister Zuo Cheng advised Sima Chengzhen, pointing to Zhongnan Mountain and saying: "There are many good places to live in seclusion here, why do we have to go back to Tiantai Mountain?" Sima Chengzhen replied: "In my opinion, Zhongnan Mountain is just a  It was just a shortcut to join the world and become an official. " Lu Zangyong once lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, so he was conscripted as Zuo Shiyi during the reign of Wu Zetian, and he embarked on an official career.  Therefore, Sima Chengzhen was speechless and speechless.  But Sima Chengzhen did not have any thoughts in his heart.  Before returning to Tiantai Mountain, he deliberately transferred to Lingzhou to visit his female apprentice.  After talking to Li Xuejun for a long time, I finally returned to Tiantai Mountain.  For such a "master", Wang Hua did not try to retain him as foolishly as Lu Zangyong.  Next came Xiao Zhizhong, who served as the governor of Puzhou. The court recalled many ministers, but did not recall him, so he wrote a letter to Princess Taiping.  They had flirted with each other before, but after reading the letter, Princess Taiping immediately introduced him back to the court and served as the Minister of Punishment.  His brother-in-law, Jiang Qinxu, the governor of Huazhou, said: "If you are as talented as a son, there is no need to worry about failure. Don't think too much." Xiao Zhizhong didn't respond. After Jiang Qinxu returned, he sighed: "Nine generations of noble clans have been destroyed in one dynasty.  It¡¯s sad.¡± That is to say, nine generations of Xiao Zhizhong¡¯s family have served as important officials.  But it took a long time for the conversation between him and Xiao Zhizhong to come out. Now Wang Hua heard what happened before but not what happened afterward.  Xiao Zhizhong has always had a high reputation. He went from secretly to openly joining Princess Taiping's sect. Princess Taiping's popularity was unparalleled for a while.  Once Song Jing saw Xiao Zhizhong coming out of Princess Taiping's house, Song Dynasty said to him: "This is not what I expected from you." Song Jing believed in Xiao Zhizhong very much. If Wang Hua was forced by the court, how could he still do it?  There is a desire.  That's a murderous robbery, and no one wants to die, right?  However, Xiao Zhizhong's court did not have murderous intentions. It was normal behavior in the court to demote and promote people.  Xiao Zhizhong's face turned red, and he said sarcastically: "That's good, Song Shengyan." After saying that, he rode off and fled.  This matter did not attract much attention from Wang Hua. He was focused on another matter.  ??Xue Ne has been guarding Youzhou for many years, only defensively, and has never taken the initiative to open the border outside the wall.  But even after several invasions by Mochu, they were defeated one after another, or they did not get much benefit and automatically retreated.  Under his governance, although the people were not as good as Lingzhou, they could still live and work in peace and contentment.  However, because of a conflict with Li Jing, the governor of Yanzhou, Li Jing asked Liu You to destroy Xue Na.  So Liu Youqiu suggested to Li Dan that Xue Na had no reputation and was a timid person, and recommended Sun Quan, the general of Zuo Yulin, to replace Xue Na.  Li Dan was very confused at first. If Xue Ne had no skills at all, how could Wang Hua rank him at a high level on the list of famous generals?  "However, Xue Ne has been guarding Youzhou for many years, so he can change it.  In addition, the border was peaceful, and Liu Youqiu was still favored at that time.  So he agreed to Liu Youqiu's recommendation and let Xue Na serve as governor of the state. This was a horizontal transfer. If the side merits were not emphasized, many officials would even be happy with such an arrangement.  After all, Bingzhou is Taiyuan, a prosperous place in the world and the third largest royal capital in the Tang Dynasty.  After Sun Quanxin arrived in Youzhou, he saw that there were many brave generals under his command. In addition, Li Kailuo and Wu Keli had recently arrived in Youzhou, and two more brave generals were added out of thin air. So he became ambitious and mobilized 20,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry.  The troops were divided into three groups and attacked the Xi people and the Khitan people.  Although Wu Keli was not as resourceful as Guo Zhiyun and other generals, his military ability was far superior to that of Sun Quan. He dissuaded him: "The road is dangerous and the weather is hot. If a lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory and conducts a long-distance attack, it will be more difficult than good." Sun Quan refused to listen.  , he retorted: "General Wu Keli, Xue Ne has served as a border general for more than 20 years, but he was unable to regain Yingzhou for the imperial court. Now we can take advantage of his unpreparedness, and we will definitely achieve miraculous results." After saying this, the army started to move,  Let Li Kailuo lead four thousand cavalry as the vanguard.  Li Kailuo also felt bad in his heart, but the situation was different now. If he submitted to the imperial court, he had to accept the imperial court's rules and arrangements.  So he took the order and went forward. The 4,000 cavalry troops moved forward first and met the 8,000 Khitan cavalry troops first.  Although Li Kailuo was brave, he was not leading the 4,000 blood battalion soldiers, but only ordinary Tang Dynasty cavalry, with only half the strength of the opponent.  The battle was not going well, so he sent someone to requestSun Quan assisted.  Sun Quan originally thought that as soon as the army arrived, the Khitan people and the Xi people would flee, but he didn't expect that they would resist so fiercely.  He was frightened and did not dare to send troops to rescue him. Instead, he planned to lead his troops to retreat.  When Li Kailuo heard the news, he lost his will to fight. After more than a day of fighting, the army was defeated.  The Khitan leader Li Dayou then sent an envoy to ask Sun Quan: "Since the imperial court has made peace with us, why did you lead your army here?" What he meant was not the peace with the Khitan, but the peace with Mochu. Now both the Khitan and the Xi tribe  Fall into silence.  Sun Quan had nothing to say, so he had to lie and said: "I came here under the imperial edict to offer condolences. If Li Kailuo refuses to obey my orders, please allow me to behead him in public to apologize to you." Li Dayou then said: "In this case,  So where is the talisman letter from the Tang Dynasty? "Sun Quan had a fart talisman letter, so he had to collect all the silks carried by the generals, together with the purple robes, gold belts, and fish belts of the generals, and handed them over  Li Dayou.  As a result, the morale of all soldiers is low.  Li Dayou then said: "General, please go back to the south and stop harassing us here." Sun Quan led the army to flee south in panic, without even a formation.  But as Wang Hua said, what credibility do Tibetan and Hu people have?  After receiving the benefits, Li Dayou had no intention of letting Tang Jun go. This was because he deliberately lowered Sun Quan's vigilance.  Seeing the Tang army's formation, he decisively ordered his men to take the opportunity to attack.  The Tang army was defeated, and the defeat was inexplicable. Sun Quan and another important general Zhou Jingti were captured. Li Dayou sacrificed them to Mochu, who was beheaded by Mochu.  However, Li Kailuo and Wu Keli escaped with their own lives because of their superb martial arts skills and fled back to the Tang Dynasty.  The two of them felt a little regretful and wrote a letter to Wang Hua respectively.  Wang Hua directly pointed out that the commander's lack of ability was the main reason for the defeat in this battle.  The second is the expedition to Khitan, and it is not all cavalry, and has lost the role of surprise attack.  During the peace talks between the two countries, the Tang Dynasty invaded for no reason and lost its morality. This is just like the situation at the Blood Camp. Why the less can win the more, it is also because of the high morale of the soldiers in order to protect themselves and the proper command, so they can achieve this  of achievements.  But Sun's attack this time turned the situation upside down.  Of course, it can also be said that the blood camp regained Jishi Mountain.  But that is different. The first Jishishan Dangxiang and Tuyuhun tribes were deeply oppressed by the Tubo people. Wang Hua tried to win them over, and ordinary people did not resist the blood camp.  In addition, Tubo was defeated several times and had no available troops. Finally, it was easy to recover the accumulated rocks and mountains.  But take a look at how difficult it was for Guo Yuanzhen to regain Dafeichuan, even though he had an advantage in troops and weapons and the generals were well commanded.  That's the truth.  Unless it is an absolute advantage, just like when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Tianjin, with only 800 people and no one died, they defeated more than 30,000 of Senggelingqin's most elite Mongolian cavalry.  There is no way to fight, the firearm is too powerful.  But I advise them not to worry, as long as they report the details of this battle to the court truthfully, the court will not blame them.  But Wang Hua knew that after this battle, it would have a great impact on their future career.  But they themselves are very brave and can be a general and charge into battle, but as a commander, their military talent is really lacking.  When they encounter good commanders, they can bring out their bravery, but when they encounter bad commanders, they also have little effect.  The scale of this battle was not small, but Wang Hua did not pay attention to it, and its impact on the entire country of the Tang Dynasty was not great.  ¡°However, the fact that more than 20,000 people had done so still shocked the court.  But at this time, another thing, including Wang Hua, attracted attention.  Princess Taiping instigated a person who knew the calendar to advise Li Dan, saying that the appearance of the comet signified the eradication of the old and the establishment of the new, and that there were changes in the sky and the stars. The main thing was that the crown prince should ascend the throne.  This move is very vicious.  If it is Li Xian, it is possible that Li Longji will be forced to become the second Li Chongjun.  But Li Dan lacked decisiveness, but he was not Li Xian, and his mind was still very smart. After thinking about what happened during this period, he immediately understood the intention of this person's words.  Moreover, he was only afraid of his son and had no intention of not passing the throne to Li Longji, so he took advantage of this incident and said: "I am determined to pass the throne to a virtuous person to avoid disaster." Although this legend  Li Longji is still a puppet emperor with no real power, but the taste of righteousness is stronger.  Princess Taiping was dumbfounded when she heard this. This was not the effect she wanted, so she tried her best to dissuade her.  Li Dan was still hesitant at first, but when he saw Princess Taiping acting like this, his heart became brighter, so he said: "When I was here one after another, a group of small people were in power, and the weather changed frequently, IAt that time, he requested that wise princes be chosen as emperor to avoid disaster, but the late emperor was very unhappy.  I was so worried that I couldn't eat for several days.  Since I persuade you to take Zen positions one after another, why can't I do this for myself?  " At this time, I saw Li Longji's cleverness. In fact, he was extremely happy, but he ran to Li Dan and knelt down and said: "Because of his great achievements, I am made the emperor's heir. Even if  Even the prince is worried that he will not be able to do the job, and now His Majesty wants to pass it on to his son. I wonder why?  Li Dan said: "You are a filial son, why do you have to stand in front of my coffin to become the emperor?"  " Li Longji burst into tears and walked out. " In this battle, Li Longji won a great victory. When Wang Hua heard about this, he made a brief comment: "Princess Taiping shot herself in the foot."  "But Li Dan's Tai Chi got bigger and bigger as he played, and it was beyond the scope of his control.
