In the backyard of the East Palace, Li Xian led Li Xuan towards the harem.
Between the pavilions and pavilions, before they knew it, they were the only two people left.
Li Xian said seemingly casually: "In the matter of Tubo, everything depends on Uncle Wang and the Left Prime Minister. What Xian can do here is to provide more support in the matter of food and grass."
Li Xuan slowed down, frowned and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to be so scrupulous. As a prince, although it is inconvenient to make friends with generals, you must pay more attention to the general strategy of the army and the details of the war. Only in this way can you succeed." Only in this way can we avoid Zhao Kuo's retreat."
"Zhao Kuo, it would be great if I could be as capable as Zhao Kuo." Li Xian sighed softly and turned to look at Li Xuan: "Uncle Wang is also a person who reads a lot of history books. Is Zhao Kuo really a waste of talk on paper?"
"No." Li Xuan walked forward slowly and said solemnly: "Zhao Kuo is not incompetent. The morale of the army has not declined for forty days without food. He would rather die than surrender. He led the Zhao army to kill 200,000 Qin soldiers. Compared with Bai Qi, Trapping and killing 400,000 soldiers is definitely not weak... If the food and grass were not cut off, the outcome of the Battle of Changping would be difficult to predict, but although Zhao Kuo's tactics were strong, in terms of strategy, he lost miserably."
Zhao Kuo is not a waste, but he is not too strong either, and strategic mistakes cannot be made up for by him alone.
Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Li Xian. Was Li Xian talking about Zhao Kuo, or comparing himself to Zhao Kuo?
"So Your Highness doesn't need to know many tactics, just a general understanding. This is the way to be a king." Li Xuan nodded solemnly to Li Xian.
Li Xian, the prince, has done too badly. So far, the most he has done is to repair books.
"Xian took note of Uncle Wang's teachings." Li Xian nodded slightly and took note of Li Xuan's words.
What Li Xuan said is very correct. Li Xian has a special status and is not allowed to contact specific battles, but he can learn strategies.
Conquest and strategy always have something in common.
"By the way, Uncle Wang has to deal with the transportation of grain and grass." Li Xian looked at Li Xuan and said seriously: "I wonder if Uncle Wang has anyone who is proficient in abacus to recommend. Something went wrong here a few days ago. If not, If you discover it in time, you will inevitably be severely scolded by the queen mother."
Li Xuan was heartbroken, and a flash of inspiration flashed through her heart.
If we connect the previous incident of Quan Shancai with the current incident, then Li Xuan has to admit that Li Xian did escape a big trouble.
"Recommended by the abacus man, Your Highness should not ask the ministers privately, but should make a clear decision and select talents from the Imperial College and Imperial College. This is the right way." Li Xuan reminded Li Xian in a low voice, and he asked Li Xuan privately, It's like giving and receiving in private, and it's easy for others to get caught.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for reminding me." Li Xian suddenly realized that he almost did something wrong just now.
After a slight pause, Li Xian then asked: "Uncle Wang, is there any progress regarding the fire in Zhaoling?"
Behind the fire in Zhaoling stood the North Gate bachelor.
It would be interesting if we could trace the clues here to the North Gate bachelor.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "The new imperial censor Shi Di Renjie is in charge of this matter. Your Majesty did not let me get involved, so I didn't ask too many questions... But in this matter, your highness can completely trust Di Renjie. He is the former Prime Minister Yan Liben's Disciple, he has no shortage of abilities and means. Now he only needs to go in the right direction, then there will be no truth in this world that he cannot find."
"I've never heard of Di Qing's name, but I didn't expect Uncle Wang to praise him so much. Xian wrote it down." Li Xian memorized Di Renjie's name seriously.
"Your Highness, please!" Li Xuan nodded slightly and walked slowly. He believed that Li Xian would be able to make good use of Di Renjie.
With the precedent of Wei Zheng, the officials in the court would be very cautious towards Di Renjie.
Just these four words "My Wei Zheng" are enough to make some officials with ulterior motives tremble with fear.
There is no one behind or behind.
Li Xian suddenly asked: "Uncle Wang, I have to thank Uncle Wang for General Quan."
Li Xuan paused, and the emperor blocked the courtiers from criticizing Cui Zhiwen with the words "I am Wei Zheng".
Others can't see the danger in this clearly, but Li Xian can definitely see it clearly.
Zhang Daan and Huangfu Gongyi are veterans of the court. They are very sensitive to this kind of thing and will be alert at the slightest sign of trouble.
After a slight hesitation, Li Xuan finally said: "Your Highness, Cui Zuocheng's matter, in the final analysis, General Quan's matter is just a hook. Even if someone can connect with Cui Zuocheng because of this, Cui Zuocheng can also deal with it... But since others have taken action , it shows that Cui Zuocheng has other problems, and His Highness should be careful."
Cui Zhiwen is indeed responsible for the Quan Shancai incident, but an experienced minister like Cui Zhiwen naturally knows how to deal with this kind of problem.
If every time you encounter someone being recommended who is not a good person, then no one should do such a thing.
Therefore, using this kind of thing to impeach others can only show that there are other problems in other people's bodies. Many problems are connected with each other, and then a high-ranking official and important minister can be sent to death immediately.
In other words, there are other unknown problems in Cui Zhiwen.
At least it's a problem that Li Xian doesn't know about.
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Li Xian looked solemn, and then nodded solemnly.
…
In the Yichun Hall, Li Xuan sat calmly on a low stool, pressing her fingers on the slender wrist extended by Crown Princess Fang, squinting slightly and carefully observing the condition.
For half an hour, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and walked to the table on one side.
Picking up the brush, Li Xuan pondered for a moment, and then quickly wrote down: Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Fushen, Angelica, Rehmannia, Asparagus, Donkey-hide Jiao, Jiao Zhong, Yuanrou, Zaoren, Baiziren, Polygala, Licorice , jujube.
"Every day, one serving in the morning and one in the evening. Boil three bowls of water. Drink one bowl after another. Just put the warm water into your stomach. Even if the palace is not ventilated, it needs to be more transparent. There are not so many people in the palace. His Highness asked a few of them to leave. These days, all the cats, dogs, rats, etc. in the palace will be eliminated."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Your Highness can appropriately ask some family members to accompany you to relax your body and mind."
Li Xuan looked up at Li Xian and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is less busy with government affairs and spends more time with the Crown Princess. In addition, you can also ask Her Royal Highness to come."
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Li Xian looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's because I'm alone, my time with the princess is short."
Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "The Crown Princess is pregnant for the first time and her body is tense. We can ask more elderly people from the Fang family to come and stay in the palace until His Highness gives birth."
"Xian remembers it." Li Xian nodded seriously.
Li Xuan took a breath, turned her head, looked at Princess Fang on the bed, and nodded gently.
Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile on her face.
Li Xuan bowed slightly and said, "I will leave first."
Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian, and then walked out of Yichun Hall slowly.
Li Xian chased him out in surprise and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, is there something wrong?"
"Go to Chongren Hall and ask Duke Huangfu to come." Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian indifferently, and then walked quickly towards Chongren Hall.
Li Xian looked confused, but he still hurriedly followed.
…
In Chongren Hall, Li Xuan wrote the same prescription again and handed it to Huangfu Zhengyi.
Huangfu Zhengyi took the prescription in surprise, and then he was stunned and shouted in a low voice: "This is a medicine for treating insomnia, panic, and nervousness, and other types of heart and spleen deficiency. How could it be like this?"
Huangfu Zhengyi looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, and then heard Li Xuan say calmly: "Huangfu Gongyi, the East Palace needs to be cleaned."
After speaking, Li Xuan slightly cupped her hands towards Li Xian and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
After speaking, Li Xuan ignored Li Xian and walked quickly outside, ignoring Li Xian who called him from behind.
It wasn't until she left the East Palace that Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally couldn't help but shake her head.
The medicines taken by the Crown Princess Fang are carefully prepared by the imperial doctor every day. Some people even operate them personally from the time they take the medicine to the time the Crown Princess takes it, and do not allow others to interfere in the slightest.
This is the Crown Princess. If anything goes wrong with the Emperor's eldest grandson, no one will survive.
But still, something went wrong.
There is no problem with the medicine the princess takes, but the problem is her environment.
Insomnia, palpitations, jitters, and even heart and spleen deficiency.
Why is this so?
Someone clearly wanted the Crown Princess to have an abortion, and Li Xian, the husband, was clearly extremely unqualified.
Insomnia is nothing, I think more seriously, insomnia is inevitable, but what is the reason for panic.
During the day, countless maids and chamberlains took care of her, but at night, the Crown Princess was the only one left in the room.
Someone took advantage of this opportunity to frighten and intimidate the Crown Princess, causing her to become mentally exhausted.
Even if you don't pay attention, the Crown Princess may not have enough strength during the birth, resulting in one body and two lives.
As long as Li Xuan told the emperor about this kind of thing, what would follow would be a bloody cleanup of the East Palace.
Now, Li Xuan gives this opportunity to Li Xian. As for how far Li Xian can achieve it, it depends on his own level.
If the place is still like this when he comes next time, then don't blame Li Xuan for going on a killing spree in the East Palace.
After withdrawing her thoughts, Li Xuan walked towards the outside of the palace.
He wanted to go home and see his biological daughter.
As for Li Xian, there is a mess of things, Li Xian can handle it himself.
…
The breeze is bright and the sun is shining, the Ministry of War is here.
Accompanied by Laisui, Li Xuan slowly entered the Ministry of War.
Countless soldiers, generals and officials were rushing back and forth quickly, busy all the time.
Laisui led Li Xuan forward and introduced at the same time: "In our military system of the Tang Dynasty, the highest position is the Grand Marshal of the Army, followed by the Marching Marshals, Marching Directors, and Sixteenth Guards officers... The Ministry of War is responsible for the recommendation and approval of those above the fifth rank. Those below the sixth rank are destined to have military intelligence and logistics matters."
The Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty was headed by Shangshu, and the Minister of War was the assistant officer.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. This was not his first time coming to the Ministry of War, so he was certainly no stranger to this place.
"Nowadays, the general affairs of the Ministry of War are under the responsibility of two ministers. All matters related to the march on the Northwest Road are under the management of Pingyuan County Duke." Laisui smiled bitterly and said: "Before leaving, Duke Pei handed over his official residence to Pingyuan County Duke temporarily. live."
Laisui led Li Xuan to the official residence of the Minister of War. Although Gao Kan was inspecting the Minister of War, he also worked there.
Not only that, the emperor held small court meetings on weekdays, which involved the march on the Northwest Road, and Gao Kan always attended the meetings.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm here today for food and fodder matters. I wonder if there is a prepared list of quantities?"
"We do have this." Laisui nodded slightly.
"That's good." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. There was an official mansion in front of him. He stopped and asked in a low voice, "I heard that some time ago, there were incidents of stealing and selling grain and grass in several states in the northwest?"
"Yes." Laisui lowered his voice and said, "It involves Yuanzhou, Qinzhou and Xingzhou. It is said that someone is behind the scenes. If Tianhou hadn't found out in time, I'm afraid the grain and grass on the Northwest Road would have been affected a lot."
"Oh?" Li Xuan looked solemn, with a sharp murderous look in his eyes.
