Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Two years passed in a flash.

Li Cunxi had been emperor for more than two years and had been cultivating his body and mind for a long time. At the end of August, he looked at the branches outside and sighed.

Crown Prince Li Qiaonian is over one year old this year and is being raised by Queen Xiao Mei. Last year, Li Cunxi was forced to take in several concubines because of vacancies in the harem, so the Ge brothers and sisters were brought into the palace.

Xiao Mei's sister Xiao Feng was not left behind and got her wish to marry into the palace.

However, Li Cunxi always stayed with Queen Xiao Mei and rarely went to other concubines.

Therefore, within two years, only Queen Xiao Mei's belly grew bigger again.

Over the past two years, most of the eighty-four states in the northern border have developed a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, thanks to the two years of good weather, peace and prosperity.

In addition, since Helu, Duoduo and Bakhanna were still alive, the people of the five tribes of Nuyibi and Dulu lived a peaceful life.

After the establishment of the state in the north, Wu Chengsi took the lead in proposing a plan to combine villages and villages, so as to bring the scattered nomadic people together to live together. If they were really unwilling to do so, he would allocate a manor outside the city for them to live in.

Of course, there were still very few people who were unwilling to do so. Helu sent a parchment scroll back to the five tribes of Dulu, and those people had to obey Helu's wishes even if they could not live well.

The same was true for the five tribes of Nuyibi. Bukhara personally returned to Shiguo and tried to persuade them earnestly. Finally, he brought up Wang Xiaojie, and the nobles had no choice but to obey.

Once the nobles were dealt with, it became even easier for the common people.

In addition, the imperial merchants went north and brought a large number of goods from the Central Plains and the south. As a result, in just two years, the northern border had the atmosphere of the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived."

Shangguan Wan'er came to the imperial study and bowed to Li Cunxi.

"Really? Then follow me."

Li Cunxi picked up the brush, and in about two years, his calligraphy became very good.

The pen moves like a dragon, and it is completed in one go!

"The time has come!"

Four big words appeared on the paper.

Not long after, Li Cunxi, wearing a dragon robe, came to Qianyang Palace from the side door. He walked up to the steps and sat steadily on the dragon couch.

"Your Majesty, we are here to pay our respects!" the ministers bowed.

"Please take a seat, my dear ministers." Li Cunxi waved his hand. "Xiaojie, how are the recruitments for the various armies?"

Wang Xiaojie walked out of the court, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the recruitment of the Sixteen Guards has concluded, and all have completed their training. The special forces, the Golden Horde, the Iron Harriers, and the Gray Wolf Cavalry, are recruiting in the eighty-four states of the northern border."

"Currently, the Golden Horde has 50,000 soldiers, all well-equipped. The Iron Harriers have 25,000 soldiers, each with two horses, all heavy cavalry. The Gray Wolf Cavalry originally had over 6,000 soldiers, but later recruited over 18,000, bringing the total to 25,000, each with two horses, all light cavalry."

"The Governor of Guicheng Prefecture is responsible for recruiting Tuqi. Currently, there are 40,000 of them."

Li Cunxi was quite satisfied with this result.

The Turkic territory is vast, and the Golden Horde Guards, Iron Harriers and Gray Wolf Cavalry together have an army of 100,000. This is the best outcome. After all, they are all elite troops, and we cannot afford to support more.

The 40,000-strong Khitan cavalry army consumed almost as much supplies as the combined military expenditures of half of the original Khitan army.

The Sixteen Guards Army has returned to its peak configuration during the Wu Zhou period. Except for a few special armies, the rest of the armies have about 100,000 people.

Li Cunxi invested almost all of the two years' taxes into military expenses, just for today.

"My dear ministers, do you know why I have been recruiting and training soldiers for the past two years?"

"I want to protect our country from being bullied by the enemy after it becomes strong."

"During the pre-Tang Dynasty, princesses had to be sent to marry for peace and stability. Today, I do not want to be like those emperors in the past who sent princesses to sacrifice themselves for the sake of stability."

He slowly stood up, smiling brightly.

"My dear ministers, you all know that the Tibetan king sent envoys to our Tang Dynasty, but I simply do not want to see them."

"Li Mingyuan, please tell them why Tubo sent envoys to our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Huaiyuan walked out with his head held high. The gazes of all the civil and military officials were focused on his face, making him dare not look up at them.

The Tubo envoy had been in Luoyang for more than half a month, and all the civil and military officials had received the news to a greater or lesser extent. However, Li Cunxi never met the envoy, which made them deeply puzzled about the matter.

The military generals rarely went to the palace, but the generals stationed in the capital all received the news at the same time and went to the palace to attend the grand court meeting. They keenly noticed that something was wrong.

There were quite a few smart people in the court. After listening to Li Cunxi's words, seeing Li Huaiyuan's ugly look, and then looking at the generals in the hall, they suddenly understood something.

But they still need an answer.

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, please tell me." Li Cunxi raised the corners of his mouth.

Li Huaiyuan immediately got into the role and angrily said, "My dear colleagues, that damned Tibetan envoy actually said that he hopes we can send another princess as we did with Princess Wencheng."

Wang Jinghui immediately roared, "Bullshit! This damn Tibetan king is so arrogant! Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he be so arrogant!"

He immediately pushed away Li Yuanfang who was trying to stop him and rushed out of the court angrily.

He rushed to the center of the hall, and seemed to realize that he was a little rude, so he quickly bowed to Li Cunxi.

"Your Majesty, how can the Tang Dynasty endure such a great humiliation?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to capture the envoy first, and then order a seasoned general to lead the troops. I am willing to serve as the vanguard!"

Li Yuanfang immediately stood up, rushed to Wang Jinghui, clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to be the vanguard!"

It was too late. Bu Zhen looked at Li Yuanfang and Wang Jinghui, feeling so angry that his teeth were itching.

But it's too late to grab the vanguard now. With these two guys standing there, no one can take the vanguard away.

Sun Xiangzhou had some ideas in mind, but when he saw Wang Jinghui standing there, he gave up the idea.

The most courageous general in this hall is undoubtedly Wang Jinghui. He kills enemies as easily as drinking water in battle, and is as brave as a tiger in charging into battle. When he was chasing Qi Ge, he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, but he still managed to kill seven or eight of them in battle. His reputation has long spread abroad.

It is unwise to compete with Wang Jinghui for the vanguard.

However... the generals can still compete...

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and Daleha stood up suddenly.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"That Tubo has bullied the Tang Dynasty too much. I am willing to lead the troops to fight. I will definitely defeat Tubo and capture that damned Bo Lunzan alive!"

Bolunzan is the current Zamp of Tubo. Before the Chongzhou case a few years ago, he was still causing trouble near Dunhuang and Liangzhou.

In the Black Society case, the Black King Xiaotao and the Qianwei Paladin Wei'er tried to collude with Tubo, but after all, they were powerless and not recognized by Tubo, so they failed.

Wang Xiaojie stood up shakily and said, "Your Majesty, I once led a large army to attack Tubo. I have experience and I am willing to lead the troops."
