Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred and seventy-four Bashu land

The long royal guard of honor stopped at the gate of Chang'an City after Baqiao. Bai Chun followed Yang Wu and Lian Tie, watching Hua Ji hurriedly walk over, and he knew what was going on.

So when Huaji finished speaking, Bai Chun followed Huaji and hurried towards Li Zhi's car. Yang Wu and Lian Tie hurriedly turned their carriage around, preparing to follow the honor guard to return to Chang'an City.

Nowadays, whether it is Li Zhi's imperial driver or Wu Mei's phoenix car, it is much more luxurious than the original Li Hong made for them. The whole carriage is like a big moving house.

In addition, Chang'an's official roads have always been flat and wide, so Li Zhi's imperial driver went to Chang'an without any problems.

The third step was lowered the moment the carriage opened, and Bai Chun stepped on the steps and slowly walked into the carriage.

On the first entry, there was already a thick carpet spreading underfoot. Two court ladies were standing not far away. The incense burner on the desk was burning with a very elegant fragrance, plus the carriage. Compared with the cool and natural fragrance in the early spring outside, the faint perfume smell inside is a little more inexplicable.

"The slave servant Bai Chun has seen your majesty and the queen." Under the guidance of Wang Lou, Bai Chun crossed the first entry in the carriage and came to the middle carriage.

A large desk came into view, and there were two sofas next to it. One of them was sitting there by Wu Mei, smiling while watching her walk inside.

The flower arrangements in the vase, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls of the carriage, and some small decorations around it all demonstrate the extraordinary and nobleness of this carriage.

Looking at Bai Chun's respectful look, Li Zhi answered with a hum through his nostrils.

Wu Mei smiled and patted the sofa next to her, motioning Bai Chun to sit down next to her.

"Did you know when Li Hong was leaving?" Li Zhi had a dark face. When he thought of going back today, he would have to go to court tomorrow. He felt his brain hurt.

In the words of Li Lingyue: "Father, how does your son feel your mood when you go to court, just like your mood when he went to the Imperial College to study when he was a child? The emperor's brother described it as..."

"Your emperor brother can't spit out ivory, what else can he say nicely."

"But the emperor's brother was right. He described the mood of the son-chen at that time very appropriately."

"What did you say?"

"Speaking of the feelings of the sons and ministers going to the Imperial College to study, it is as heavy as the mood of the people in Chang'an when they went to the grave during the Qingming Festival."

"I am going to court, not to the grave! Humph!" Li Zhi flicked his sleeve and got into the carriage.

"My Majesty, slaves...know." Bai Chun, who had just sat down, had to stand up again and said to Li Zhi in a nervous state.

Li Zhi raised his head and sighed, and stretched out his hand to signal Bai Chun to sit down and speak: "What can I explain about Di Renjie? The post of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, can't you just stay empty?"

Li Zhi's question caused Wu Mei to roll his eyes, and Bai Chun was nervous and had no intention of paying attention to the queen's expression.

About Di Renjie, His Highness did not give any explanation before leaving, only that the father and the queen would understand.

Bai Chun nervously sorted out his words in his heart, how to answer Li Zhi's question, after all, he always didn't know how to ask, this would make your Majesty very dissatisfied.

But without waiting for her to figure out the wording, Wu Mei who was next to him sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie was done deliberately by Li Hong, you don't need to pay attention to it."

I wanted to wait until after returning to the palace, but now your Majesty is missing a muscle, and he doesn’t bother to think about anything. As long as there is someone around him, he doesn’t bother to think about anything. The intention of the matter.

Now that I just ran into Bai Chun on the road, Li Zhi was even more reluctant to use his brain to think about the intentions. In his opinion, the identity and status of Bai Chun among the Donggong women are the most important in Li Hong's heart. , And Li Hong also relied on and liked her very much, and Bai Chun should know the reason for this.

After Wu Mei finished speaking, she saw Li Zhi swish a pair of eyes and put it on her face. Even Bai Chun on the side slowly turned to look at her.

Wu Mei looked at the strong gazes of the two of them with their "thirst for knowledge", and said with a serious face: "Di Renjie's incident was deliberately done by Li Hong, and his purpose was to help him leave behind Annan. A stable rear, or a team of supplies such as grain and grass."

"Soldiers and horses do not move food and grass first, doesn't he know the reason?" Li Zhi asked with his neck, obviously he was not satisfied with the answer given by the queen.

"Judging from Li Hong’s actions, it is clear that the war in the southwest region will not end soon. When the grain and grass that he brings is always used up, then the entire army’s grain and grass supplies, etc., need a stable It’s not the first time that Li Hong has done this, and even every time he goes out... it’s always the case.” Wu Mei’s ears occasionally heard the sound of the Jingjie drum and the war horse in the honor guard. He paused and said with a clatter of iron hoofs on the streets of Chang'an.

"Does it happen every time?" Li Zhi began to recall Li Hong's every expedition, but did not make him understand and see clearly the similarities between this expedition and the previous expeditions of Li Hong.

There are no outsiders in the entire carriage. One majesty and one Bai Chun are all royals, and Wu Mei has no scruples, and looks more solemn as the two explain: "Li Hong went out for the first time. Anxi, Lanling, Chengyang and others are his food and grass support, but he has nothing to worry about in the court, so he doesn't need to worry about the court, and he has no turn to worry about it."

"The second Anton expedition, Han Jiacang, etc. was that Li Hong sought a stable rear in order to conquer Anton. Lu Zhaolin served as the governor of Youzhou in Anxi. After going east, I will provide you with food and grass protection. When he goes to Andong, the court is supervised by him. You are not in Chang'an with him, and the concubine is the person who stabilizes the court in Li Hong's mind. , Even because the concubine had to manage politics, plus back then..."

Wu Mei sighed a little helplessly, and then continued: "At that time, Li Xian already wanted to take Li Hong and replace him, so when Li Hong went to Andong, he had to take nearly a thousand people from the Buddha camp. The person was handed over to the concubine and placed in the harem in case of accidents. Whether it was the court or the marching battle, Li Hong made a complete plan when he left, or his majesty, the concubine’s body stabilized the court, or the Lanling, Lu Zhaolin provided food and grass. In short, Li Hong would never lead his troops on the expedition with worries."

"Then he will go to the Japanese country? Even if I am with you to stabilize the court, don't have to worry about him, but when he conquered the Japanese country, everyone knows that Yangzhou Li Jingye's rebellious intentions, where can he find someone who can supply food and grass?" Li Zhi sat behind his desk, watched the carriage enter the familiar imperial city, and continued: "By the way, Li Sujie and Li Shangjin were recruited to Hangzhou by him at that time..."

"Li Sujie and Li Shangjin are just pawns to contain Li Jingye and delay Li Jingye’s rebellion. It is Hangzhou governor Li Chongyi who really supplies him with food and grass. No one knows when Li Jingye will start because of Yangzhou’s rebellion. But if Li Hong first suppressed Yangzhou, and you will surely be recalled to Chang'an immediately afterwards. Therefore, he needs to conquer the Japanese kingdom first, and then attack Li Jingye in Yangzhou. Therefore, it is Li Chongyi who really helped Li Hong stabilize Hangzhou and Yangzhou and provided grain and grass supplies." Bai Chun assisted him and slowly got out of the carriage, and then Li Zhi followed to get out of the carriage.

"In that case, Di Renjie was the one who provided him with food and grass this time? After you said that, I realized that every time this kid went on an expedition, he obviously made a foolproof and meticulous plan. I thought that every time he went out and made decisions was a whim, he was extremely reckless." Li Zhi and Wu Mei walked side by side, followed by Bai Chun, Hua Ji, and Wang Lou. Various guards of honor were unfolded in the Daming Palace, accompanied by a few people to the Xuanzheng Hall.

"If you think so, it would be a big mistake. If you simply guarantee the supply of food and grass, then he doesn't have to let Di Renjie go." Wu Mei glanced at the towering tower in the sky not far away~IndoMTL.com ~ I can't help but feel full of pride.

In the whole world, I am afraid that there is no taller and luxurious building than a castle in the sky.

"What does the queen mean?" Li Zhi asked with his hands behind his back and slowly stepping up the steps.

"Since the suppression of the Yangzhou Rebellion that year, whether it was the death of King Yue or King Cao, Li Hong had intervened in their fief? The King of Yue had operated in Mianzhou for many years, but after his death, Li Hong did not treat Mianzhou. If you don’t ask, it’s been a few years now, and he seems to have forgotten his place. Don’t you think this is totally incompatible with Li Hong’s fierce and determined temper?” The expression on Wu Mei’s face was It became more and more solemn.

There are many things that do not allow you to fully understand when they happen, but after a few years, you will find that Li Hong’s city mansion is simply unfathomable!

And you will find that in everything, Li Hong's seemingly inadvertent actions are actually contrived.

"What do you mean?" Standing at the door of Xuanzheng Hall, Li Zhi stopped moving suddenly, looking at Wu Mei and asked.

"Whether it is King Yue or King Cao, there can be no remnants in Bashu. The land of Bashu has been managed by them for so many years. If King Yue and King Cao died, whether it was Bashu or the imperial court, it would be considered that there has not been a King Yue. The rebellion is enough to show that there must be something strange."

"In recent years, has there been any instability in Bashu and things that went against the will of the court?" Li Zhi has been out of politics for several years. Regarding the government, he is now like a little white, and he needs to slowly master and understand go with.

The courtiers were originally lined up on both sides of the steps, looking at your majesty, the queen, and the three people behind Bai Chun, who were talking about something with their faces.

Then, as Huaji's loud voice sounded, courtiers began to enter the Palace of Xuanzheng from both sides, before Li Zhi and Wu Mei.
