In the second year of Linde (665 AD), the first day of the third month in spring, and the second hour of the Chen hour was two hours.

The so-called leap month, also weighing March, represents this year, with two March. On the 12th of last month, Liang Xiaoren, a Si Jiazhengqing, came to Hebi Palace to report. The Qianyuanbao Hall of the Dongdu City has been officially completed and can be moved in with a bag.

Qianyuan Hall in Ziwei City is the main hall of Luoyang Palace, similar to the Taiji Hall in Xida Nei in Chang'an City and Hanyuan Hall in Penglai Palace. But then again, this hall is very funny. It was built by Emperor Yang of Sui and was originally named Ganyang Hall.

When Emperor Taizong conquered Luoyang, he saw that he was extravagant and luxurious, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken and scolded Yang Guang for being stupid. Then he gloated and said in front of the people of Luoyang, saying the truth clearly: Afang Palace was established, the Qin people collapsed, Ganyang graduated, and the Sui people disintegrated.

In order to show his awesomeness, he ordered the fire to burn Ganyang to show his warning. When he ascended the throne and became emperor, he decided to slap himself in the face. He wanted to rebuild Ganyang Palace, but the court officials were unhappy and submitted memorials and advice, but in the end it was left unresolved.

In the first year of Xianqing, Li Jiu, a filial son, helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish. He restarted the construction project. Tian Renzuo, a senior engineer of construction. He borrowed the site materials and recruited countless civilians. It took him a full ten years to complete the construction this year.

After half a month of preparation, I set off early today, left Shanglinyuan, and moved to Ziwei City. Wukang rectified security and strolled to visit the new hall. I thought that Qianyuan Hall was not smaller than Ganyang Hall. When Mei Niang took power, this hall would be expanded and renamed Mingtang.

Speaking of her sister Mei Niang, she became more and more pregnant. In another three and a half months, Ling Yue would be born. She was in a good mood in the palace and smiled all day long. Li Jiu was very caring, but she was too careless and behaved very stupidly.

I don't know where to tell who often appears during a woman's pregnancy and the child's personality looks like. For this reason, Li Jiu sent an order to prohibit Wu Kang from visiting him. The princess who was afraid of him would be exposed to cruel murderous aura and sinister.

Wu Kang scoffed at it and said that he was insidious and insidious. Compared to you couple, you are a little witch. If you don’t let visit you, you will not be pleased if you want to serve you. So he got off work on time and accompanied his wife and daughter more and enjoyed a peaceful life.

Since she arrived in Luoyang, Xiaoqing has been in a better mood and has a smile on her face. Because of the Luoyang market, no one insulted her husband, it is estimated that the people of Luoyang have a higher quality and cultivation. She has a good mood and the servants of the Wufu guards burn incense and worship Buddha.

In his boring life, there are also seasonings to make Princess Asuka. On the fifteenth of last month, I received a letter from Liu Renyuan about Japan. He was a subordinate of Wu Kang and was appointed as General Zuo Fengchen. Last year, he led a fleet across the Huanghai to Xiongjin and replaced the guards of the defense town.

Wu Kang once suggested that after he arrived in Xiongjin, he would send an envoy to Japan. He would bring letters and gifts to meet the eldest brother, the prince of the Zhongda brother, and show off his power. At the same time, he would also learn about the attitude of the eldest brother, whether he had been beaten to death.

Gentleman reminds them to stay honestly in the island country and not interfere in the peninsula. The people who established Goguryeo were from Fuyu in the Han Dynasty and belonged to the Chinese nation. The war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo was a civil war between the Tang Dynasty and the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Foreign countries are not allowed to interfere.

Liu Renyuan did what he said, and the scattered man Guo Wuqi led 130 guards on the battleship Sanhan ship to visit Japan. On July 17 last year, he arrived at Tsushima Island in Japan and sent someone to send a letter to send a letter to Beijing to visit.

This uninvited guest on the boat scared his eldest brother Zhong. He made excuses to perfunctory: Without the letter of the Heavenly Tang Dynasty, he could not confirm his identity and could not come to Beijing to pay homage. You can stay there, we treat you warmly, you can leave, and we will give away gifts.

The guards did not leave, and they were stationed on Tsuma Island, which was delicious and delicious, and they lived a very relaxed life. The letter of Renyuan said that the boss guessed well, and that Japan was building defenses in Tsuma and Iki. Fukuoka Prefecture repaired the water city to prevent large ships from docking and strengthened the western defense line.

The Japanese government was frightened and afraid of the Tang Dynasty's navy, and launched a large-scale invasion of Japan. As of the twelfth lunar month last year, the sailors named Sanhan still lived on Tsushima Island and enjoyed the worship of Japan. Wu Kang scoffed at it. It seemed that the eldest brother Prince was indeed scared. He made the ship invaded Japan and did not dare to arrest and expel it, and he did not even dare to meet.

The little woman Asuka, as the princess of Japan, misses her father. Every day when she comes home from get off work, she will pester him to ask if the veteran General Liu Renyuan has sent a letter again. Wu Kang shook his head, swayed her appetite, and poured cold water on her, but there was no letter.

Days passed every day, and on the tenth day of the leap month, there was a meeting in Zhenguan Hall. The Western Regions were in a hurry again, and the Shule tribe in Xinjiang and the Gongyue tribe rebelled against the Tang Dynasty again. They joined forces with the Tubo army, assembled 30,000 troops to attack Anxi Yutian. The Anxi Protector Pei Xingjian rushed to the official documents for 500 miles and begged the court to send troops.

This marked the Tubo Kingdom that officially entered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were in turmoil from then on. In the following decade, the Tubo Turks of the Tang Dynasty would stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Regions. The Tubos in the Tang Dynasty competed for the Turks, and the Turks were fighting for soy sauce. Whoever was the winner would be loyal to him. This year, the Tang Dynasty and next year, the Tubo was a fence-bearer.

The king and his ministers discussed urgently and quickly reached an agreement to send troops to rescue Khotan. As for how many troops were sent and who would command the three armies, they expressed their opinions. Wu Kang sat upright and felt mixed feelings in his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but put forward his own suggestions.

He used the siege of Wei to rescue Zhao, recruited 50,000 guards, and joined forces with Liangzhou to attack Tuhun Valley. He forced Tubo to return to his army, launched a decisive battle with him, and drove the Tubo's forces out of Tuhun Valley. Then he stationed heavily, tightened his pockets in Qinghai, and cut off his way to enter and exit north.

If the goal can be achieved, it can solve the Tubo problem once and for all. The plateau climate is harsh, land output is insufficient, and the population has entered a bottleneck. What is waiting for the Tubo people is only endless internal consumption and only declining. From then on, there will be no major concerns in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.

Soon they opposed it, and the ministers turned their guns and showed facts and reasoned. They had a clear attitude. Tubo was a disease of scabies, and Liaodong was a major concern. The strategic core of the Tang Dynasty must be placed in Liaodong, mobilized 50,000 guards, and the court was damaged.

Wu Kang was speechless. They were right. This was the actual situation. There were 630 Zhechong Mansions in the Tang Dynasty, with literal guards of more than 630,000. This was not the case. Since Li Jiu ascended the throne, wars between all and all have been frequent, and the troops were seriously insufficient.

The equal-field system was collapsing, and the number of people fled households was severe, and the number of soldiers in the government decreased. According to Wukang's estimates, the maximum number of guards in the Tang Dynasty was more than 400,000. Most of them were farming at home, while the rest of the guards in the capital were stationed in Liaodong or stationed in Anxi.

Under normal circumstances, at most 50,000 guards can be mobilized at a time. The blockade of the Tubo plan is indeed a disaster. Before pacifying Liaodong, large-scale recruitment cannot be launched. Wu Kang knew it well and did not argue with reason, and Li Jiu would not agree.

I could only watch Tubo act as a monster and wait for the fall of the Western Regions. The ideal is full, the reality is skinny, and I feel helpless. I can only hope to solve Liaodong as soon as possible, and take advantage of the military strength to fight against Tubo.

After discussion, the court officials finally made a decision: Cao Jishu, the general of the Left Wu Guard, led the fifteenth-handed Cangzhou to clash with the mansion and quickly rescued Anxi Yutian. The Anxi Protector Pei Xingjian and the governor of Xizhou Cui Zhibian, and participated in the military as the deputy general.

Li Jiu announced his retreat from the court, and the ministers came out one after another, and Wu Kang finally left. He ordered Zuo Yulin Army to inspect the various parts of the hall to determine whether there were any missing items. He found an ivory board and looked at the signature on it. It was Zuo Shiji Lu Dunxin.

The fluorene plate is a notepad. When officials attend court, they will record all the contents they report. If the emperor conveys it, they will also record it on it and study it carefully when they go home. If there is a lot of content, they will bring a lot of fluorene plates and stuff them into the calculation bag.

This thing is divided into grades. Officials above the fifth grade are made of ivory materials; officials below the sixth grade are made of bamboo. Wukang's ivory fluorene has always been a decoration, and he has a good memory and no memorandum is needed.

After a while, I put it in the calculation bag and smiled faintly. I carried it with me and actually left the palace. The drunken man was not drunk. I left Qianyuan Palace and searched for the memories in my mind. Zuo Shiji Lu Dunxin didn't know much.

His father Lu Deming, like Xu Jingzong, was a bachelor of the Qin King of Eighteen. Dunxin was quite talented, but he was relatively pedantic and not favored by Li Jiu. The clues can be seen from his official resume and current official position.

The so-called Zuo Shiji was originally the Zuo Sanqi Changshi, and was affiliated with Dongtai. He was a high-ranking official of the third rank, but he had no real power. He was similar to the emperor's consultant. He was responsible for making mistakes in reproaching, similar to the Three Dukes and Three Divisions, with a high position but no heavy power.

When he came to the door of Daye, he saw the master and the old god was waiting. He was over 60 years old and looked energetic and was also an old fried dough stick. Wu Kang took out the plate and held it with both hands, showing a warm smile: "Mr. Lu left the plate and I brought it back to you."

Dunxin was kind and kind, put the board in the calculation bag, and smiled and depressed himself: "If a person gets older, his memory will decrease, and he will always lose all his mind, which will make the change laugh. If he does not have official duties, how about accompanying me?"

Wu Kang readily agreed and came to his right head, half a position behind. Dunxin secretly praised it and his smile became more amiable: "If a person gets older, his mind will be slow, and young people often cannot understand the ideas. You said that using Tuhun Valley to kill the Tubo road, Jinxiang also proposed that you coincide with each other."

Jinxiang is Cao Jishu, his ancestral home is Jinxiang County. According to later generations, Jinxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province. His name is too crucified, so all the civil and military officials in the court called him by their hometown. His mentor was Lu Dunxin, what did the old guy mean?

Seeing his mysterious smile, Wu Kang suddenly realized that you were so angry that you were old and angry. He deliberately left Xiang Qing, led me out to meet, and then made me vaguely, asking me to meet Ji Uncle Ji. He made a big circle and expressed his meaning: My apprentice Cao Ji Uncle, please help if you have something to do, and entrust me to recommend it. How about giving me a face?

This cannot be refused, Wu Kang laughed and said, "The powerful general Cao Jishu, a famous master, has become a master. He attacked the Turks three times, and made great achievements in defeating Tielle twice. Wu Kang admired him for a long time. After going to the yamen today, he went to the mansion to visit him and asked Mr. Lu to recommend him."

Dunxin was very pleased, and the child could teach him, and he twisted his long beard with his hand. He humbled himself: "A famous teacher is a good disciple, and he has changed too much. I am ashamed of it. Cao Jinxiang has admired him for a long time, so there is no need to recommend him. Oh, it's a coincidence. Look at the one in front, it's my disciple Jinxiang."

It was indeed quite coincidental that Cao Jishu stood next to Donghua Gate. So the three of them met. After a brief greeting, Lu Dunxin said goodbye. Wu Kang and Jishu entered Donghua Gate and went to the Nanya Office. It was also along the way, Zuo Fengchen and Zuo Wuwei, the two departments were separated by the courtyard wall.

The two of them chatted while walking, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious. Jishu stepped into the topic: "This time I met General Wu, I actually asked for something, which was embarrassing to say. My wife and nephew Zuo Chongyun, a guardian of the Xizhou Vesting Mansion, has some business in the military city and needs the help of Pei Dupu."

In two simple sentences, the information was very large, and Wukang became interested. Emperor Taizong destroyed the Qu family Gaochang, established Xichangzhou with its place, and later renamed Xizhou. Four Zhechong Prefectures were set up, and the Qianting Prefecture was affiliated with him. His wife and nephew Zuo Chongyun was just an ordinary mansion soldier.

The so-called military city is a small market formed near the military base. It appeared in the Warring States Period and had a long history, with two types: above and below. The underground military city business is a local woman who provides sexual services to the guards who went to the expedition.

Wu Kang has been through the battlefield for a long time and understands the needs of soldiers and cannot suppress desires. Although the court prohibits it, no one will be serious in order to stabilize the morale of the army. In fact, he has consumed it and was once very obsessed with it. You can try to imagine that the exotic little woman in the woods and fields has a unique taste in her heart.

The military market business on the ground seemed to be much more formal, selling some daily necessities. The Tang Dynasty was a military system, such as clothes, robes and rations, which were brought by the guards. Due to various reasons, those who had no time to prepare or those who had exhausted military supplies would be purchased from the military market with money.

Merchants discovered business opportunities, looked for their own way, and sold various goods. This could greatly make up for the shortage of logistics, so this market was also recognized by the government. Of course, these merchants risked their lives and sold materials on the front line not because of patriotism, but to make money.

His wife and nephew Zuo Chongyun, if as expected, was also a war-field businessman. General Zuo Fengchen's room, Wu Kang cooked hot tea and said with a smile: "Pei Shouyue, the guardian of Anxi, is indeed my senior brother. But Brother Jinxiang, the court does not have the ban on military city, there is no need to help, right?"

Uncle Ji held the hot tea and said to the truth: "Some special situations are given, let's give an example. If a soldier has no money but needs to buy it urgently, he will be in trouble. He wants to do some loans in the city. Please don't misunderstand that it is an interest-free loan, listen to me in detail."

The two of them chatted while drinking, and Uncle Ji talked endlessly, and Wu Kang listened with politely. The eager lending business seemed very interesting and provided interest-free loans. As long as they did not expire, they did not charge interest, even if they expired, the interest will be charged very low.

To give an example, Zhang Hai, the guard of the Vessel Palace, dug Zuo Chong, paid it for fifty cents. He paid it back within half a month, and received a monthly interest rate of five cents. Zhao San, the guard of the Vessel Palace, borrowed three pieces of silk cloth, and there was no interest within the period. At the same time, add another one, if Zhao San gets the reward, only two pieces will be paid back.

When I heard this, I thought that I was not like a businessman, but more like a philanthropist. I did not charge interest within the term, and even borrowed three or two to pay back two, which seemed very unscientific. How can I make profits and lose money to make a profit?

The following words made him dumbfounded and his head suddenly went down. He couldn't help but spit out the tea and sprayed Uncle Ji's face. He quickly got up and apologized, took out the silk bag and handed it to his hand.

I still couldn't help it, and finally laughed out loud. Zuo Chongqing was too fashionable. I stopped providing interest-free loans and even reduced the principal, but there was a prerequisite. Zhang Haizhao and three or two had to go to the guidance stall, that is, the stalls that Yingqing was buying consumer goods.

He used this lending routine in his previous life, Alipay Huabei. There are too many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, so I can't accept it. He held back his smile and frowned and said, "Your nephew Zuo Chongyun, please change his name and call him Zuo Mayun. Or don't want his surname, just call him Mayun, don't ask me why."

Uncle Ji said he was puzzled. Which Ma Yun was, and continued the topic just now: "It's a pity that my wife and nephew don't know a few words. I asked Pei Duhu for help, hoping to hire Shushi to help him write the contract. Pei Duhu refused, saying it was not a matter of money, so I asked the general for help."

The senior brother said it well, it is not a matter of money, it is a noble scholar. Aspiration is a big-headed soldier. How can they obey the command of the government soldiers for money? You want to go my way and ask me to persuade the senior brother to organize the history of books to help. In fact, it is useless. It is not that the senior brother does not want it, but that the history of books does not do it.

After thinking hard for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly. The Tang Dynasty version of Ma Yun also wanted to help him. Just as he was about to apologize, he suddenly thought of something, and his smile began to be strange: "The Queen once told me that this year or next year, the saint Taishan Fengshan."

Uncle Ji put down his handkerchief and hung his head with a question mark. What is this for? For about half a quarter of an hour, Wu Kang mentioned again: "Fengshan is a big deal. If the expected one is not bad, he will be forgiven for the whole world. Uncle Ji thought carefully and if he could figure it out, he would be able to solve the problem of Zuo Xianniang."

After saying that, he picked up the tea cup, and was content with a savor. He looked unfathomable. Ji Shu frowned slightly, raised his head and thought, and his body suddenly stood up. His eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he flattered: "Everyone in the world said that generals are not only brave, but also extremely intelligent, and his subordinates are convinced."

Wu Kang smiled but didn't say anything, just a basic operation, sit down and talk quickly. Li Jiutai's Fengshan would definitely be amnesty for the world, and officials exiled to the Western Regions would be likely to return to Beijing. It is not absolutely possible. The court compiled the list of amnesty based on his performance and handed it over to the emperor for review.

If the emperor ticked the election, they could return to Beijing, otherwise they would continue to be exiled. Anxi Protectorate was the place where officials were exiled, and the former Grand Secretary Xian Yang Deyi and the son-in-law of Li Yi's Mansion were all there. They were scholars, and they had long been accustomed to prosperity and hated life in the border areas. In order to return to the capital, they could even refuse their lives. What was their face?

If you go to the battlefield and write loan documents, you can not only make money to support your family, but also gain a reputation. In a sense, solving the difficulties of the guards and supporting the war in the court is loyal to the king. If the superior reports, Li Jiu will not be stingy.

Even if he didn't give money, those demoted officials would flock to him. After Ji Shu flattered, he suddenly stopped smiling and said with a firm word: "I'd better invite the general to prepare a book for the Protector Pei. When I arrive in Xizhou, I will first find my wife and nephew to rename him Zuo Mayun."

Wu Kang waved his hand with a smile, understanding what he meant, and he didn't want to take favors alone. Those demoted officials would not offend the local officials unless they had to. Because it is very likely that they would return to Beijing and even become officials again.

Helping them return to Beijing will be grateful to Pei Xingjian and Cao Jishu, but not to me. Most of them are harmed by me and implicated by me, so they will be exiled to the Western Regions. Since they are political enemies, they will not be grateful no matter what they do.

Uncle Ji stopped insisting, and exchanged greetings for two quarters of a minute, stood up and said goodbye to him: "I really can't figure out why the general is approachable and willing to help others. Why do those people maliciously slander you? No more nonsense, we can talk about it. If the general doesn't dislike him, how about making friends?"

Wu Kang smiled happily and said carelessly: "Where did you say? From the moment you met, I have regarded you as a friend. Otherwise, I would not have invited you to come here and say so many things. We are all warriors, and we are all straightforward, not liked by literati."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Wu Kang sent him out and looked at his back. He felt very relieved. Cao Jishu, a man, has a lifetime of military life and has rich combat experience. He could see that if Tubo was curbed, he would definitely take Tuhun Valley, and his eyes would be as sharp as a torch.

The official appointed as the General of the Left Wu Guard, who is my teacher's subordinate, and he is a dignified lieutenant general of the army. He will definitely not lose his friendship. The civil servants reject me, and the military officers make me good friends, and it seems that there are still some fun...
