Chapter 20 The name of Chang'an

Chang'an City Imperial Palace!

Li Longji is dealing with military affairs. In the war, he needs to arrange many things.

Food, grass, military pay, rewards after triumph, pensions for the fallen people, and even the impact after the defeat must be taken into account.

Although Li Longji is full of confidence in Pei Min, he cannot help but prevent such an accident from happening.

The allocation of various materials required his decision by the emperor. So far, Li Longji has been extremely abiding by his former promises with Pei Min.

When he had official duties, he would never be distracted by the pear garden. Since the day Pei Min went to war, he had never seen a person in the pear garden and would not delay national affairs with his own personal interests.

"Your Majesty!" Song Jing strode into the hall.

Yao Chong, the first prime minister of Kaiyuan, did not persist. Shortly after Pei Min went to the expedition, Li Longji could not stand Yao Chong's unreasonable exclusion of Song Jing, and asked Gao Lishi to signal the Censorate to deal with Yao Chong.

Although Yao Chong was a virtuous prime minister of his generation, he was unable to teach his children. His sons Yao Yi and Yao Yi made friends with guests and recruited power and bribes. In particular, the two of them even liked the male style at the same time and coerced the handsome and elegant officials to have fun with him.

Male style has not been uncommon throughout the ages. It was the most frequent during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties. Homosexual activities of emperors and generals were frequently found in historical books, including Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wen of Han and even General Wei Qing. After the Han Dynasty, the male style was prosperous and declined, and the male and female style was open in the Tang Dynasty, but it was the most serious era when the male style was anti-male style. It was believed that male style was inverted and moral insulted.

Because of this, when Li Shimin learned that his eldest son Li Chengqian liked men's style, he was so angry that he directly killed his male favorite.

Yao Yi and Yao Yi were originally regular customers of brothels, but they were inexplicably fond of male style. This is a strange thing and was criticized by public opinion.

In short, Yao Chong, a famous prime minister, made his two unscrupulous sons cheat, and let the sin of being incompetent in education be killed.

Yao Chong was also a smart person. He found that Li Longji did not protect him as before, so as to know what he wanted. He resigned from his position several times and recommended Song Jing to take over as his prime minister.

Yao Chong could not avoid the end of quitting the court. No wonder Li Longji left the grin and killed the donkey. Yao Chong's personal factors were too serious.

Li Longji did not ignore Yao Chong, who had gone to the prime minister, and still respected him very much. He was allowed to attend court once every five days, and he would specifically seek his opinions when encountering major political affairs. He just refused to let him take charge of the affairs.

Song Jing, who inherited Yao Chong's position, also showed his ability in the position of the prime minister. He was not as flexible as Yao Chong's administration, but he was more steady and mature than that. He could not rub a little sand in his eyes, and was not afraid of offending others. He only took over the position of the prime minister for a month and a half, and happened to take over Pei Min's important logistics responsibilities. He mercilessly dismissed the officials who were greedy, lazy and unrigorous, which shocked the court's atmosphere.

"The materials for the Spring Festival have been prepared! The labor soldiers transported were ready, just waiting for news to be heard from the front, so we can arrive on time. But to this day, the governor and the Duke's front line have not yet heard from it, but for some reason?" Yao Chong said with some worries.

They transported 60,000 troops of food and grass, plus the finest food used by war horses, and the supplies consumed by the soldiers and soldiers along the way were almost equivalent to the delivery of food and food to prepare for 150,000 or 60,000 people, nearly a hundred trucks of food and grass.

The road is long and the speed of these hundred trucks of grain is extremely slow. It will take about two months to depart to the front line, just in time to catch up with the beginning of the next year to make up for the food and salary of the front line army.

Because the front lines are too far apart, according to convention, the commander of the front-line leader should keep in touch with the rear at all times to ensure that the food can be delivered safely and accurately.

But in the past ten days, neither Guo Zhiyun nor Pei Min had any news, which made Song Jing feel a little confused.

Li Longji frowned and said, "Maybe something has been delayed, so there is no hurry. I have known Duke Liang for several years, but he has never disappointed me. I have no contact with him, and he has his own reasons."

Song Jing was speechless when he looked at Li Longji. How could this military and national affairs be so emotional?

This general led his troops outside, so how could he win?

Just when Song Jing was not sure what to say, Gao Lishi came over. He held a small paper tube in his hand and handed it to Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, this is a Feige's letter from the front line, it seems that it was written by Duke Pei himself."

Li Longji was excited and smiled and said, "Most of the eight-month deadline has passed, so it's time for good news."

He couldn't wait to call the paper tube, but saw it read: "Stone Castle City has been taken, and the nine-curved land in Hexi is like a bag, and the situation is great. I plan to advance to Qinghai and take a city for a long-term plan. Without His Majesty's permission, I will make a decision without authorization and apologize first."

The strong and powerful regular script is undoubtedly written by Pei Min.

"That's great! Haha!" Li Longji laughed excitedly. Even though he was full of confidence in Pei Min, he was still ecstatic when he learned the battle report.

Defending Tubo during defense and regaining lost territory to seize territory, although both are victorious battles, are two completely different concepts.

Originally, Li Longji had done a lot, but he was just a founding king. However, with such military achievements, he would be ranked as the leader of Zhongxing like Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuan of Han, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Pei Qing has taken down Shibao City, and there is no need to prepare all the food. He directly ordered the Longyou Army to call local food storage and transport it from Shibao City to the front line." Although Li Longji was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew the significance and value of Shibao City.

Song Jing was also ecstatic, danced his fists excitedly, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

This direct transportation of grain from Longyou can not only save most of the labor and save half of the food consumption, which is really a great thing.

"I just knew that Pei Qing would not disappoint me!" Li Longji was very happy with me and was already thinking about how to plan to celebrate the celebration.

"By the way!" He suddenly thought of something and looked at Gao Lishi and said, "Lishi, aren't you saying that Chang'an City is very dissatisfied with Pei Qing? He said that he was successful at a young age and did not matter how serious he was. In order to show his ability for a while, he made an August appointment, and he was full of words and had no choice but to do anything?"

Gao Lishi nodded and said, "There is such a rumor."

Song Jing also said: "I have heard of it, nonsense is not worthy of trust."

Li Longji snorted: "It's not their turn to slander me, a hero of the Tang Dynasty, a strong man, you can immediately send the news out. In one day, the entire Chang'an will know the news of our army's victory! Let anyone still have the courage to gossip behind the scenes."

"Yes!" Gao Lishi bowed and accepted the order.

Gao Lishi's efficiency in his work is beyond doubt. In just one day, the whole of Chang'an knew about Pei Min's victory.

In an instant, Chang'an City became boiling. In the eyes of the people of Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought for a hundred years, and were the only foreign race in the world that made them feel pressure. It is no exaggeration to say that they had a long-standing enemy. Now the warriors of the Tang Dynasty have recovered the lost territory from Tubo. There is nothing more proud of than this.

Pei Min, Guo Zhiyun, and the three generals of Gong Ren were famous in Chang'an!
