My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Li Longji's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked, "Could it be that this group of Ximi is planning a rebellion and rebelling midway?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "No, because the west and the east are far apart. When Bosimi arrives, the Shuofang army will most likely retreat due to lack of food and grass."

"The army of Bosimi and his men is definitely inferior to the Eastern Turkic tribes. If the Shuofang army retreats and Bosimi arrives, they will definitely be defeated by the Eastern Turkic tribes."

Li Longji said at this time: "But these people of Bosmit are just foreign tribes. If they are defeated, then they are defeated. What's wrong with this?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, where is the hometown of the people in Boximi?" Chang An was not in a hurry to answer Li Longji's question, but asked first.

"On the west side."

Chang An smiled and said, "Bosimi and his family live in the west, but they are going to the east to fight against the Eastern Turks. It is far away from home, and it is not a battle to protect their homeland, so it is impossible for them to fight to the death. If they lose, they will definitely retreat."

"The military camp of Bosimi is at..." Chang An looked at the map again and saw the garrison at the location of Beiting, and then said, "If we lose the battle, the first thing your majesty would think of is where to retreat?"

Li Longji answered without hesitation: "Of course it is my own camp."

"What if I send troops to occupy this military camp in advance?" Chang An said with a smile.

Li Longji was stunned at this moment. He looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise and said to him, "If the Eastern Turks had occupied the camp in advance, then when Bosimi retreated not far away, they could have been captured by attacking from both sides, wouldn't they?"

"Once we get rid of Bosimi, the Eastern Turks will naturally be able to return to the east. The Eastern Turks have won a great victory, their morale is high, and the places they pass through are all prefectures, so they may not be able to stop them."

"If it really develops in this way, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? Then, it will be troublesome to attack again later." Li Longji agreed with Chang An's words and asked:

"If we follow what Marquis Dingkang said, and want to break this method, we need to let General Wang send out troops first, so that the Shuofang Army and Bosimi arrive at the same time. In this way, even if the Turks retreat northward, we will still be able to outflank them."

Chang An nodded and said, "Yes, as long as His Majesty issues an edict and lets General Wang send out troops first, this matter will be settled."

Li Longji nodded, but then said, "But General Wang and Prime Minister Zhang have a disagreement. General Wang is afraid of this and may not dare to send troops first."

Chang An smiled and said, "I'd like to ask your Majesty, is the Tang Dynasty yours or Zhang Jiazhen's? If it's just because Zhang Jiazhen is the prime minister, then should we still fight the war?"

"Even if General Wang and Zhang Jiazhen are enemies who killed my father, with an imperial decree from Your Majesty, would it be General Wang who dared not go to war, or would it be Zhang Jiazhen who dared to object? You are Your Majesty, the Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty knows exactly how Zhang Jiazhen became the Prime Minister."

Li Longji's eyes were bright at this time. He knocked on the table and laughed, "Marquis Dingkang, Marquis Dingkang, I finally know why I have been looking for you. Talking with you is like an epiphany! This is something those old foxes can't do."

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Don't be so modest here! Tell me, what reward do you want!" Li Longji was very happy at this time, waving his hand and saying proudly. This momentum made him want Li Ke'er or Li Siqing to be his concubine.

"This..." Chang An secretly glanced at Eunuch Cheng at this time, and saw that the other party nodded slightly at him, so he said:

"My wife is only half a month pregnant, but her belly is as big as a newborn baby's at five months pregnant, and she has occasional abdominal pain. I went to see a doctor, but he couldn't diagnose what the strange disease is, so I want to borrow an imperial physician from Your Majesty to see my wife."

"Okay! I approve it! Not only do I approve it, I will also assign two imperial physicians to you!" Li Longji slammed the table and said in a very rich tone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, speaking of Lady Zichuan, I haven't seen her today." Li Longji said at this time, "I wonder if she is free now?"

"Of course there is." Chang An nodded, and then Li Longji asked Eunuch Cheng to call Gu Li.

So, Eunuch Cheng quickly brought Gu Li back. Gu Li was supported by Zhen'er. When Li Longji saw Gu Li's belly, he was stunned for a moment - a four-month-old belly was still this big?

But then, Li Longji noticed that Gu Li was holding a piece of paper, which seemed to be full of words. He asked curiously, "What is the county lady holding?"

Gu Li only then noticed that he was still holding the nine poems of "Nine Looms" in his hand, so he replied: "Your Majesty, these are the poems I wrote. I was about to come to see Your Majesty, and I forgot to put them away in a hurry."

"I heard from my princess before that the county lady can also write poems. I wonder if you can show it to me today?" Li Longji became interested at this time and asked.

"Of course." Gu Li did not hesitate and handed the poem directly to Eunuch Cheng, asking him to pass it on to Li Longji.

Li Longji took the poem paper, asked Gu Li to sit down, and then read the nine poems. After reading them, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and then said: "Good poems, good poems. The nine poems can each be a complete story, and the sum of them is a complete story, which is really good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"But why does this poem seem to me like a poem of boudoir complaint? Does the lady have any complaints?" Li Longji asked.

Gu Li glanced at Chang An at this time, and then replied: "Yesterday, my husband had an argument with his good friend, and they fought over a disagreement. This poem is written by me to warn him."

Li Longji nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

After briefly expressing his condolences to Gu Li, Li Longji left with Eunuch Cheng.

......

The next day, when Li Longji attended the morning court, he said directly: "Someone come."

"Yes." Eunuch Cheng responded immediately.

"Order the Secretariat to draft an imperial edict and order Wang Jun, the Grand Administrator of Shuofang, to march out immediately upon receiving the imperial edict and march north to conquer the Eastern Turks. Try to coordinate with the Western Turks to conquer together and do not disobey. At the same time, order the messenger to rush 800 miles. If the edict cannot be delivered within two days, he will be beheaded as a warning to the public! Anyone who disobeys the imperial edict will be punished with the same crime."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, everyone in the Ministry of War was stunned for a moment. They were also a little happy at this time, because this was one of the few times that Li Longji dared to issue an order directly. No matter if it was an obstacle or delay, he would be beheaded directly.

"I wonder if any of you, my dear, have any objections to this matter?"

When the words fell, no one in the court spoke. After a moment of silence, Zhang Jiazhen came out and said, "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the border war, so we naturally have no objection."

Li Longji looked at Zhang Jiazhen at this time. It was originally a voice of support, but now Li Longji heard that there was a different meaning in it. Then he suddenly remembered that some time ago, when he was having dinner with his four brothers, this guy cried to him and said that he also wanted his younger brother to come to the capital to serve as an official together.

But he still remembered clearly what Zhang Jiazhen said: "My parents died early, and my brother and I depend on each other for survival. My younger brother Zhang Jiayou is now the deputy governor of Shanzhou, and is very far away from me. I hope Your Majesty can transfer him to Bingzhou as an official so that my brothers can be together. I will do my best to repay Your Majesty."

I agreed at that time, but I didn't do it immediately, but delayed it until today. I guess this old fox is afraid of regretting it, so he is showing off today.

Then Yuan Qianyao also said: "I have no objection."

So, when Li Longji saw that no one objected, he said, "In that case, Eunuch Cheng."

"exist."

"You should go directly to the Secretariat now and convey my oral instructions. Ask them to draft an imperial edict immediately and issue it before noon at the latest."

"Yes."

After that, Eunuch Cheng left. The rest of the morning court was just a simple listening to the ministers' reports. After the reports, Li Longji announced the end of the court.

But all the ministers left, except Zhang Jiazhen who remained in the hall. Li Longji saw this and knew his intention immediately, so he asked:

"Prime Minister Zhang, why don't you leave? What do you want to report?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Jiazhen complimented him at this time, and then said: "Is it what Your Majesty promised me before? I wonder if Your Majesty agrees to it?"

Li Longji already knew Zhang Jiazhen's idea and said, "I don't agree."

Zhang Jiazhen just asked politely. He originally just wanted to know the result of the matter, but he didn't expect Li Longji to actually give him a "result".

"But Your Majesty, this was something you agreed to personally at the time." Zhang Jiazhen said, feeling a little anxious at this time.

"I agreed at that time, but Prime Minister Zhang asked me again today, so I decided to change my mind." Li Longji said jokingly at this time.

Zhang Jiazhen was stunned for a moment. In the past, Li Longji always responded to her cries. Even if he disagreed, he would still consider it. But today, he didn't even consider it and directly rejected her.

"I dare not know..."

"I just abolished the recommendation system some time ago. Now Prime Minister Zhang, you want to recommend your own brother. Isn't this a slap in my face?" Li Longji said coldly.

"Cancel the recommendation. This is a system that everyone in the world must abide by. Even you, Prime Minister Zhang, agreed to it at the time. Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang was deceiving the emperor at the time?"

When Zhang Jiazhen heard this, he knelt down immediately and said, "I dare not."

"But when I saw Your Majesty chatting happily with several princes, I thought of my brother in my heart..." Zhang Jiazhen started to act shamelessly again and began to cry.

When Li Longji saw him like this, he remembered what Chang An said yesterday, sneered in his heart, and then said: "In this case, I see that you have a deep brotherly love, so I will agree to it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Order the Secretariat to draft an imperial edict. Revoke the post of Zhang Jiayou, the younger brother of Prime Minister Zhang Jiazhen, as the governor of Xiangzhou, and order him to come to the capital immediately to reunite with Prime Minister Zhang."

Zhang Jiazhen was stunned, and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. Although his brother had returned to Beijing, he had no chance to arrange an official position for him. In this way, not only did his family have one more mouth to feed, but he also lost his position as a governor. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and said:

"Thank...thank you for your grace."
