In the second year of Linde (665 AD), the thirteenth day of the first lunar month was at 3 o'clock in the morning.

At the end of the first year of Linde, Xue's house arrest was marked by the fact that the Xue group had completely collapsed. The backbone of the group was beheaded, the long-term flow of the flow of the people should be destroyed, and the deposed should be demoted. In short, the money fell down and the money was scattered. The result of the great purge was horrifying, with more than fifty families involved in the case and more than eight hundred people involved.

At the beginning of Li Jiu's ascension to the throne, as of today, there have been three major purges. Princess Gaoyang plotted against rebellion, Changsun Wuji was executed, and Xue's group overthrew Wu. The next two purges, Wu Kang was threading needles, Jingzong helped fuel the fire, and Wuxu was the director.

If conditions permit, Li Jiu wanted to write a book, a story about the loyal dog and martial arts. The loyal biting dog helped me eliminate political enemies, strengthen centralization, and made outstanding contributions. Such loyal ministers and good generals must be promoted, so they issued an edict.

Today, the envoy came to the door, and the Wu family set up a table of incense and listened to the edict respectfully. Li Jiu was indeed generous and ordered Wukang to prosecutor the escort and General Zuo Rongwei. It turned out that the person who held this position was General Du Junchuo. He died two years ago and had no additional supplements.

The edict also stated that his official position would be adjusted again. General Xuanwei was exempted from being promoted, and the champion general was added to the third-rank military official. He continued his true nature, no matter how much part-time job he had, he would only receive one salary and the third-rank treatment.

His current official positions are: General Zuo Fengchen Guard, General Zuo Rong Guard, General Zuo Yulin. He is aware of training in Yulin, supervisor of eunuchs, and general champion. The prince You Chongye Guard led him, and Duke Chu of the State of the Supreme Pillar.

Just over thirty years old, three generals of the army and one lieutenant general. In addition to the top lord, the new star rose and the martial arts family was very popular. Among the many official positions, there were only two main positions, General Zuo Fengchen and Prince You Chongye. The rest were part-time jobs, just used to scare people, and that's the case.

After the edict was issued, he was not happy for a few days and there was a new joke. The rumors in the market gave him nicknames, the three left-leaning generals and military eunuchs. Because the eunuchs were in charge of eunuchs, they were mostly eunuchs. He knew that eunuchs were the eunuchs, and he had no children in his family, so he was ridiculed as eunuchs.

Xiaoqing cried again, and was in no mood to celebrate, and she was frowning all day long. Wu Kang hated her toothache. These Qianqian students seemed to have been too much. They didn’t kill your family, didn’t eat your food, and mocked me for being full of food.

He was too lazy to pay attention to them, and he had no ability to sew on others. After the Shangyuan holiday, he went to Sirong to receive documents and talked a lot with Jiang Ke. He was a descendant of Jiang Wei, a native of Shangji in Qinzhou, and was also a second-generation official. He once followed the Qiheli to appease the nine surnames of Tiele, and also had great achievements in military achievements.

The former Si Rong Taichang Bo, Zuo Suji Zheng Qintai, was the backbone of the Xue group. Last year, Li Jiu asked him to take over. He was also very talkative and his tone was not alienated. Wu Kang knew very well that this person was ambitious and wanted to compete for the prime minister.

Now there is a shortage of prime ministers, and Li Jie is far away from the government affairs. In fact, there are only four prime ministers: the young master Xu Jingzong, the young master of the crown prince, the right middle guard Le Yanwei, the minister of the Western Taiwan, Sun Chu, and the left prime minister Dou Dexuan. He was obviously short of dealing with the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, so he had ideas.

Wu Kang secretly thought that he had enough qualifications and his words were pleasant, so he responded politely. If possible, I would tell the queen and give you a few good words. Jiang Ke smiled and had a more attentive attitude, and even called him brother.

After completing the entry process, he took Sirong official documents and emperor's edicts to the southern yamen of Xida Nei to take over the Zuo Rong Guard Office. The so-called Zuo Rong Guard was once the left-leader guard and one of the sixteen guards of the Nanya. The highest commander and the second commander general, and a total of two people from the third rank.

Further down is the Chief Secretary, who is in charge of the affairs of the various Caos, and then records the military to join the army and supervise the various Caos. The four Caos are in charge of the military, the cavalry and the cavalry, the warehouse and the military. They are in charge of war horse armor, granaries and soldiers, and are civilian military chiefs.

The permanent military force is the Yiwei under the jurisdiction, and the commander is the General of the Central Army. There are two Lang Army generals on the left and right, one person in charge of the Yiwei, and one person in charge of the military. There are five regiments, each regiment of two hundred people, and the commander is the lieutenant. Each regiment has two brigades, each brigade of one hundred people, and the commander is the commander of the brigade.

There are two teams in each brigade, each with fifty people, and the team is the chief team and deputy team. Each team has five fires, and each fire is ten guards, and one fire leader is the chief. The guards of the Zuo Rong Guard have a military strength of thousands of people, similar to the Zhechong Mansion, but are higher than Zhechong, and can be called the Central Army.

All the soldiers of the Yiwei were the children of bureaucrats, and were all the officials of the second and third generations. Among the sixteen guards of the Nanya, except for the left and right Fengchen guards and the left and right guards, the other twelve guards all under the jurisdiction of the Yiwei. The Yiwei stationed in the imperial city and the major city gate palaces to protect the emperor's safety, and can be called the Southern Ya Imperial Guards.

Looking back at the fifth year of Xianqing, the Wukang performed his magical powers in Xuzhou, and defeated the Yulin Warriors in a row. Li Jiu was stimulated and selected elite soldiers from the Nanya Yiwei to supplement the Yulin. So to this day, the elite soldiers are in the Yulin, and the Yiwei has declined.

In addition, in addition to guarding the imperial city, the guards of the southern yamen also have to guard the capital, with different regional responsibilities. The left and right guards are the general palace guards; the left and right Wuwei guards are the south guards of the capital; the left and right Wangwei guards are the north guards of the capital; the left and right Rong guards are the west guards of the capital.

The left and right Jinwu Guards are responsible for street patrols; the left and right Fengchen Guards are guards with swords in front of the imperial guards; the left and right gate guards are responsible for entering and exiting the gates; the left and right Yulin Army are responsible for the security of the palace. The crown prince's ten guards are led by similar to the sixteen guards, responsible for protecting the East Palace.

Among them, the left and right Fengchen Guards and the left and right Yulin Army were responsible for palace patrols. Similar to the supervision team, they were surveillance openly and secretly, and the imperial guards of the Southern Yamen were guarded. If they found something wrong and there was something abnormal, they would directly report it to the emperor.

Except for Fengchen Guards, Chongye Guards and Fengyu Guards, the other Southern Ya Guards and the other Eastern Palace Guards all led the Zhechong Mansion in a distance. The left and right guards had the largest number, each with fifty-year-old commanders, while the left Rong Guards were only twenty. The capital city was in all directions, and the military mansions took turns to guard the guards, which was called the Shangbian.

Rong Wei was responsible for the west of the city. When Wukang went to patrol, it caused a sensation. This year, there was Dongyang Prefecture, which was the Zhechong Prefecture in Wuzhou. The military forces of the Tang Dynasty were raising Guanzhong and facing all directions. There were only seven Zhechong Prefectures in the huge Jiangnan Road. Wuzhou had been abolished long ago. When was it rebuilt?

The guards of the Dongyang Zhechong Prefecture were all Wuzhou militias. They completed the destruction of Chen Shuozhen back then. The Dongyang Zhechong Commander and the left and right Guoyi Commander were all militia commanders. All ordinary soldiers knew Wu Kang, so they were completely furious.

Just like a fanatical fan, they were extremely excited when they saw their beloved stars. They surrounded him tightly, some handed them over to the rice cake, some asked about their well-being, and some burst into tears. The scene was too intense, which scared the rest of the soldiers in the palace and thought they were facing a great enemy for a moment, thinking that they were bombing the camp.

Wu Kang almost cried and gave a passionate speech. Thank you for your hard work. After eight years of leaving Wuzhou, there is also the legend of Brother in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region. The haze accumulated in my heart naturally dissipated and my heart was filled with excitement. In this world, as many people hate you, as many people love you.

After tasting the sweetness, I came here every now and then to contact my fellow villagers and my life was harmonious. On the third day of the second month, I received an order from the court and Li Jiu visited the Eastern Capital. As expected, Mei Niang once said that this year, Fengshan Mountain would naturally go to the east.

It is estimated that within two years, they will stay in Luoyang, so it is best to move temporarily. So they ordered Qian Shun to lead the Wu and Wu battalions, and take the whole family and young, to Luoyang first. I stayed in Chang'an and spent all day busy inspecting security work and organizing the Rong and Wei ceremonial guards.

At the tenth day of the second month, the Holy Lord left Chang'an and headed to the eastern capital Luoyang. The security leader Wu Kang was wearing golden armor and carrying a Qianniu sword. He was armed to his teeth, steered the Doudeng horse, and guarded the next to Yulu.

Li Jiu and his wife seemed to be in a good mood and were still flirting, and they didn't even want their old faces. Mei Niang erected her belly and gently stroked her hands, full of maternal glory. If you remember correctly, this is the two of them, the last child.

As noon approached, I opened the curtain to get some air. Li Jiu looked at Wu Kang and sneered and joked: "Your dear, don't be nervous. The official road has been repaired long ago, the seats have been renovated, and Yulu is also very stable. I am the father of the child, and I am more concerned than your uncle."

Mei Niang was in a good mood and said angrily: "Kang Lang is too partial. Before the child comes, he sends all kinds of toys, all of which are made by himself. You don't even care about the other four nephews. Honger and Xianer and others have already complained about it."

This must be partial. Those little brats are young and hard to deal with them. Mei Niang blinked and said seriously: "When Huai Xulun, Kang Lang spoke conscientiously and said that it must be the prince. Then tell me now, the prince or the prince in the sister's belly?"

Li Jiu also became interested, holding Mei Niang's hand and casting a joking look. Wu Kang's old god was there, pretending to calculate, shaking his head and saying, "I am 70% sure that she is a little princess. I want to congratulate Your Majesty, it is better to have a son and a daughter, but it is true that children are full of children."

Li Jiu was very comfortable with the flattery, and suddenly sighed softly: "If it was a woman, that would be great. We, husband and wife, have four sons, only one woman was missing. At the same time, I firmly believe that she was back from peace and she couldn't bear to part with us."

The atmosphere was awkward in an instant, and Wu Kang secretly complained, "You killer Qiandao, can you speak? Which pot doesn't open? Mei Niang was in a low mood, stroked her bulging belly, sighed and said softly: "If you come back from An Ding, your nickname will be Ling Yue. What does Your Majesty think?"

Li Jiu did not think about it, and casually quoted the scriptures and said that this name is good. It comes from the Book of Rites, which makes the month and the day of the auspicious day, which makes the auspicious all good. Wu Kang was dumbfounded, and the name Li Lingyue was so familiar. Yu Guang glanced at Mei Niang, did you do it on purpose? She did it on purpose when she received a joking look.

My best friend in her previous life was only 1.6 meters tall, weighed 80 kilograms, and had a fat face. She had been chasing Wukang for four years in college, like a dog-skin plaster. She was also a rich woman, who invited him to dinner and shopping and traveled around the world.

He is also a little charlatan. The places he took him to travel are all ancient ruins. For example, to go to Mongolia and Hang Aishan Museum, visit the massacre pits of massacres, to Kyrgyzstan and the Anxi Protectorate's Sites; to visit various places in South Korea, such as the Yalu River, to visit the battlefield ruins.

Once, when I was traveling in Qinghai, I came to Wuming River without going to the scenic spot. I stood barefoot on the shore, staring at the river bank in a daze for two hours. Suddenly, I hugged Wu Kang, cried and said something strange: Don’t do stupid things, no matter what happens, cherish your life, and don’t learn from Xiang Yu.

I was confused at that time. What did I learn from Xiang Yu? Did I commit suicide by slashing my throat in the Wujiang River? It was not so heroic. Later, I thought of her when I was chatting with Mei Niang. When Mei Niang wanted the princess to be called this name, what did it mean?

I felt that there was a conspiracy and couldn't figure it out. I was too lazy to spend more time to ask her. The journey was boring, Mei Niang was heavy and she was slow to move. She walked fifty miles a day. Chang'an was about 700 miles away from Luoyang, and she walked for half a month.

On February 25, he arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and drove into Shanglin Garden. It was west of Luoyang, the largest royal garden, the palace where Li Jiu lived, was the palace of the palace. The guards in the palace worked, the left and right Yulin took over, and the three palaces of the personal honor helped.

Wu Kang began to be busy, checking the entire garden and eliminating safety hazards. Zuo Yulinjun was responsible for the security of Lianbi Hall, arranged heavy troops to guard the troops and personally led the patrol. He accompanied the two big men to take a walk in the palace and pass the boring time.

According to the court's convention, Li Jiu distributed welfare and ordered the Censor of Xiantai to deal with prisoners in the capital and Yongluo provinces. At the twelfth day of March, in the palace of Hebi Palace, Li Jiu summoned important officials and held an extraordinary court meeting.

Let me first release the important news. Si Rong Taichang Bo Jiang Ke, who is also the third rank of the East and West Taiwan, was born. Jiang Ke was grateful and expressed his loyalty to the emperor, hoping to serve the work of a dog and a horse. At the same time, he did not express his feelings and looked grateful. Brother Wu has worked hard and will be rewarded in the future.

Wu Kang was wearing regular clothes, sitting in the team of military officers, looking at his eyes, nose and heart. No need to thank me, you can be the prime minister because of your merits. Mei Niang’s ears are actually not very effective. Li Jiu asked you to take charge of Sirong, and he already wanted to worship the prime minister.

The court meeting continued, and Li Jiu said lightly: "Before leaving the capital, Prince Li Hong submitted a letter and asked the court to send envoys to Chengqian, Qianzhou, to collect Li Zhong's bones. The prince is loyal and kind, and I want to see what he asked, what do you think?"

Li Zhong was ruthless and according to the court's convention, he wanted to behead the abandoned market. Like Shangguan Yi, no one blackened him to collect the corpse, and the body was abandoned outside the city, making it a delicious meal for wild dogs. The corpse was exposed for three days in the wilderness, but Wu Kang was hypocritical, sent the Japanese camp to collect the corpse.

I found a place to be buried, but I was impeached. Good intentions were not rewarded. Fortunately, Li Jiu was generous and not only did not blame him, but instead encouraged him. Li Zhong was the main culprit, and no one asked to collect the body. I have to say that Li Hong was indeed kind-hearted.

The topic has been put out, Xu Jingzong first took the lead and praised Li Hong for being generous and first expressed his support. Other court officials agreed and kept flattering, all praised Li Hong. Li Jiu nodded with satisfaction and began the next topic: "The request of Tubo in the first month of the year is really ridiculous. I want to send envoys to refuse. What do you think?"

On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Tubo sent an envoy to see him, asking the Tang Empire to allow him to reconcile with Tuhun Valley. He also asked the court to approve that Tubo was nomadic in Chishui, that is, the source of the Yellow River. Regarding the issue of Tubo, Wu Kang sighed secretly. Looking at the current situation, there must be a war between the two countries.

Tubo is located in Qinghai-Tibet, with its climate, productivity level, population base, etc. Determined by various conditions, if they want to develop, they must go out of the plateau and expand their territory, so as to support the war. The decision-making level of Tubo, led by Lu Dongzan, sets the strategy of Tuhun Valley as its strategic goal.

From the Zhenguan year to the Linde year, for twenty-three years, they were fighting Tuhun Valley. Finally, in the third year of Longshuo, they got what they wanted and occupied Tuhun Valley. The court sent Su Dingfang to serve as the ambassador of Anji and resisted Tubo in the western front.

They were so persistent, Wu Kang expressed his understanding that if Tubo came out of the plateau, he could only rush out of Qinghai. To the south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there were the Himalayas and the Karakoram Mountains. India, on the south side of the mountain, was now covered in a mess and had no combat power.

But they had nuclear weapons, and the natural climate was humid and hot, which was unbearable for people on the plateau. Tubo crossed the Himalayas at least twice and invaded the Indian Peninsula. During the Zhenguan period, Wang Xuance used Tubo soldiers to destroy the Three Kingdoms of India.

Unfortunately, the uselessness of the eggs is useless. India's humid and hot climate blocks the Tubo army. The road to advance south is blocked. If you send troops eastward and go out to travel south to Sichuan, it is impossible. The Hengduan Mountains are natural barriers and cannot march on a large scale.

For example, when China liberated Tibet, the airplanes and automobiles transported, and the troops also had food out of food many times. What's more, at this time, Tubo was blocked from the east, and it was unrealistic to cross the Kunlun Mountains to the west, and to lead the troops to the Western Regions. The front line was too long and was subject to the supply line and could not fight in large groups.

He had to attack north and use Tuhun Valley as the base to point to the Hexi Corridor. Therefore, Tuhun Valley is a strategic buffer zone in the Hexi Corridor. If Tuhun Valley is lost, his lips will be lost, so Emperor Taizong went through many troubles. He intervened in Tuyuhun several times, defeated the opposition forces, and supported the pro-Tang forces.

If Emperor Li Jiu could lock down Tuhun Valley and block Tubo's advance northward, then the Tubo Dynasty would gradually decline in internal friction. Unfortunately, he did not do it, or could not do it. The strategic core of the Tang Dynasty was in the Western Regions, Mobei and Liaodong.

All elite troops were sent to Liaodong and had no strength to lock Tubo. It is not a big deal that Li Jiu was not blamed. All Central Plains dynasties did not regard the southwest as their main strategic direction. Or in other words, the Central Plains dynasties did not have much interest in Tibet.

The main threats in the Central Plains all come from the north. Even if they are conquering the Western Regions, their core purpose is to limit the North. Tubo rushed out of the Tuhun Valley and began to intervene in the Western Regions, inciting the Turkic tribes, and breaking away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty. In recent years, the Western Regions have been turbulent and rebellious, and Turkic tribes have caused trouble.

Therefore, Wu Kang concluded that there must be a major conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo. It is unlikely that in the near future, Tubo is planning and will not launch a large-scale attack. On the contrary, the Tang Empire's military strategy core is still in Liaodong. Only by falling into Pyongyang and destroying Goguryeo can we adjust the strategy and start to deal with Tubo.

At that time, Wu Kang was unsure whether he could win a battle. Before coming to Luoyang, he inspected Zuorong and Zhechong Mansion and found a bad situation. The guards were seriously aging and less than 30% of them were strong, which shows that the system of the government soldiers was accelerating their collapse. The combat power was getting weaker and weaker, and he would probably suffer a defeat against the Tubo army.

Suddenly, when he heard Li Jiu get angry, he interrupted his thoughts, and his voice was sarcastic: "Emperor Yang is stubborn and refuses to give advice and destroys the country. I often take it as a warning and ask for advice humbly. But if there is no advice, you are timid, why are you?"

The scene was silent, and everyone sat upright, just like an old monk entering a state of meditation. Wu Kang had no expression on his face, but he was complaining in his heart, that was taking off his pants and farting. In the past, Han Yuanlaiji, Yu Zhining and other important officials were all iron-boned counselors. You always didn't listen at all, and those who were killed were demoted, who would dare to advise?

Li Jiu was angry and the atmosphere began to suppress. Li Ji suddenly coughed dryly, and Wu Kang spoke at the same time: "What Your Majesty did is perfect, and I cannot advise you. If you force yourself to give advice, you may be self-defeating and may be suspected of seeking fame."

This flattery is so shameless that everyone despises. Looking at Wu Kang's eyes, it became even more weird, as if everyone was saying: Come and see, this is a slander, and you have no ability except flattery.

Li Jiu's face gradually slowed down, and his eyes looked at Li Ji. What I wanted to say. Li Ji secretly scolded Wu Kang. What you said just now is what I wanted to say. He could only bite the bullet and slowly said: "General Wu said it is reasonable, and His Majesty did everything he could, and the ministers could not give advice."

The atmosphere is even more strange. Wu Kang is a slander, so it is understandable to say this. Li Ji is a veteran, so why do he also say this...
