Princess Xiao Yi of Xiangyang is Xiao Yin's only daughter. Since she has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, and she is beautiful and talented, she is more jealous than the top. The beloved man in her mind is not an ordinary man, but a kind of hero who is versatile.

In fact, although she said without any concealment that "Marrying Li Zhongzheng should marry", she knew nothing about Li Luo's appearance and character.

Rather than saying that she wants to marry Li Luo, she wants to marry someone like Li Luo.

"I heard that although Li Luo is young, he already has a queen. This matter is just a mirror and water moon."

Xiao Ze did not act shyly, but directly expressed his concerns.

She doesn't want to be a concubine.

I really want to marry... She, Xiao Er, should be the queen!

The maid Ming'e smiled and said, "I heard that Your Majesty sent the Minister of Rites Liu Fuzhi to Chengdu to see Li Luo, and hinted that Li Luo would abolish the queen and become the favor of Qin and Jin again."

Destroyed queen?

Xiao Yi frowned, probably not this?

"I have heard that Empress Xiao was in the Tang Dynasty and was not aware of her wife's decree. When the Tang King was fighting outside, she took over the power of the prime minister and handled government affairs by herself. Isn't this not doing her duty? Then what else do you have to do?" Ming'e said seriously.

"The hen is in charge of the old lady's way?" Xiao Yi laughed silently and stretched out his spring onion-like jade finger to point Ming'e's forehead. "A woman is not in charge of the old lady's way of governing the country? This is unreasonable. The Tang Dynasty was established in the early days, and the country was unstable. After all, the prime minister was an outsider. The King of Tang was fighting outside, so of course he felt more at ease with Queen Cui."

Ming'e said: "But it is said that Empress Cui is monopolizing and is very domineering. No matter how you look at it, Empress Lu Wu is the way. Even Your Majesty says Empress Cui is not a match made by Wang Liang of Tang."

Xiao Luo shook his head gently, "How can we take it seriously if we follow others? Only the King of Tang knows whether the virtuous or not. There is no way to succeed in the affairs of the abolishing queen. This matter should not be discussed."

She said calmly, but she felt extremely disappointed and very unhappy.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he continued to practice calligraphy as if nothing had happened, giving the maid a graceful back.

But before she knew it, the graceful and beautiful small calligraphy of Mrs. Wei who she copied slowly became Wang Youjun's "Seventeen Posts", with sharp and sharp brushwork. However, because the heat was not too hot, it actually contained a hint of majestic killing.

Finally, two poems appeared in Princess Xiangyang:

"The moon is dark and the flowers are hard to see, and the grass is long and the road is fascinated. I will take my green hair and walk calmly in the evening."

Another song is:

"I sighed that my eyes were hard to calm down, but I hated my heart. The pheasant flew into the Han family and arrived in a prosperous era, and the world was bright. There was no word in the long stone tablets, and the spots in history were even more ruthless. If the sky fulfilled the will of Xiangyang, my daughter could also bring peace to the great power."

The so-called poetry expresses one's aspirations. It is self-evident that the princess of Xiangyang is like this.

This woman was also very careful. After writing, she burned two poems that could easily express her feelings.

Ming Zhi burned poetry, Xiao Er often did this.

…………

At this time, Yizhou was screening for new recruits everywhere, and the anger and misery of the rich clan were everywhere.

The new spy agent of the Juntian envoy of Yizhou, Job, forced the Feng family, Zhang family and other wealthy families, as well as major temples and chieftains, to hand over a large amount of land, money, grain, and population.

If you dare to say something, you will not be punished.

At first, there were still people who were armed and led private soldiers to rebel, but the number of people who were killed was rolling. Many wealthy families and large temples that had been entrenched in Yizhou for a hundred years were suppressed by force and disappeared.

The hardest thing to deal with is not the good combination of temples, but the toasts of each family.

These chieftains had sent troops to follow Lu Wenhuan in the east before. Due to the annihilation of the entire army, their force was greatly weakened. However, the centipede insect died without being stiff, so their force should not be underestimated.

Job did not do anything and did not learn. While mobilizing the barbarians, he divided his troops to suppress the chieftain's resistance.

The entire Yizhou is in the joy of the people and the bloody storm of suppressing and resisting.

In late March, the opposition was finally scared of being killed and they all took the initiative to surrender. Many monks gave up their land and fled to Tubo in the great Tantric temples in western and northern Sichuan.

At the same time, the new recruits who had reached the land of 80,000 were also trained, and all officials at the government offices at all levels were in place. Tang State finally took full control of Yizhou under Li Luo's iron fist method.

"King, this is the book of the Lord Juntian, please check it out." In the Chengdu Prefecture Pastoral Office, Yang Hanming, the governor of Yizhou, came in to present the new book.

Li Luo picked it up with great enthusiasm and found that the number was very different from the old album.

The population of all ethnic groups, including monks, is more than 5.2 million. It has exceeded 30% of the heyday of the Southern Song Dynasty. The population statistics of the Tang Dynasty are extremely strict, and there should be very few people missing hidden.

The land soil increased from 17 megabytes to 42 megabytes, including paddy fields, dry land and pastures.

All farmers and all herders and all herders and all the fields were implemented in the grassland in less than two months. It was really vigorous and decisive.

Reliefs in various places are also in full swing. The food used for relief comes from wealthy families, temples and toasts.

"Yes. Hanming, Yizhou will be handed over to you within two years. Yuan'er will come to Chengdu soon, and you and your wife can be reunited." Li Luo was in a good mood. "Yizhou is in a mess. You should work hard for two years first. When the Yizhou is first in control, you will return to Beijing."

Yang Hanming smiled and said, "Brother Xie. Don't worry, brother, I will definitely build water conservancy, encourage farming and sericulture, and organize refugees to return to their hometowns and reclaim their farming as soon as possible."

Li Luo nodded, "You are your own family, of course I believe in you. Yizhou is an important place. If the Yuan army suddenly detours Tubo attack, don't force it. Hurry up and take Yuan'er back. If the land is lost, you can fight again. You and Yuan'er cannot have a good or bad situation."

Yang Hanming felt warm, "Brother, brother, please implement the order to change land and return to the land and equalize the fields in Bozhou. Only in this way can millions of people in Bozhou be bathed in the kingly transformation."

Li Luo patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, "You are the lord of Bozhou, but you can take the initiative to promote the equal land and return to the land. It's really hard for you. How many people can you have in ancient and modern times?"

Yang Hanming said solemnly: "Men should be caring about the world and cannot enslave the people with their own personal selfishness. How can they last for a long time by separating a corner and acting as a blessing? Bozhou is destined to be very small, but the Tang Dynasty can be very big. In this life, my brother only wants to assist his brothers, achieve great achievements throughout the ages, and seek to be famous in history. Isn't this a hundred times better than the dog guarding the land of Bozhou?"

His words were so clear that he could express his selfishness calmly.

His selfishness is: a beautiful name in history.

This selfishness and style are of course much higher than the authoritarian use of the separatist Bozhou, and it is also one of the reasons why he is willing to take the initiative to hand over the Bozhou.

Li Luo said: "Your heart is as bright as the moon, I have already known it. Han Ming, do it well. As long as the Tang Dynasty is here, the wealth and honor of your Yang family will be there. You and I will get along with you and my king and my uncle, and we will be a good story for the future generations."

This is the promise. To be fair, Li Luo is very satisfied with this brother-in-law, Cui Xiuning has a lot of vision and can actually discover Yang Hanming.

Yang Hanming bowed and said, "My brother got married to the princess and got his brother's trust. He treated him with his flesh and blood and gave him important tasks. He should do his loyalty to serve him in order to serve him."

He was also sincerely grateful to Li Luo and his wife. Not only did he bring him Haidong, but he also married Li Yuan he loved to him, allowing him to shoulder heavy responsibilities and show his strengths. This is not only a life-saving grace, but also a grace of fulfillment, but also a grace of knowing what he wants.

Otherwise, he was still a refugee and probably starved to death. How could he have the glory of today?

The two men were talking when suddenly the Yizhou Censor Chen Yu came in.

"King, the former envoy of the Dimension Court was sent to Liang State. This time, Liang State sent people to Chengdu again. Xiao Yin wanted to marry his daughter to the King, saying that he would become the favor of Qin and Jin." Chen Yu said with a strange expression.

Chen Yu said he was the Yizhou Censor, but he was actually a spy.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment. Xiao Yin was going to use the beauty trick?

"How long will the envoy of Liang State arrive?" Li Luo asked.

"Report to the king, it will probably take two or three days."

Li Luo said: "I have no intention of accepting the concubine again, but the etiquette of receiving the envoy of Liang State should not be too negligent."

Chen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief for the teacher and continued, "Xiao Yin is so hateful. He was so whimsical that he wanted to hand over his daughter to the King as the Queen, and he also wanted the King to depose the Queen."

What?

Li Luo was so angry that he almost laughed out loud, let me depose my queen?

Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin, do you know who my queen is? Do you know who I am?

I want me to cheat, and I will take a third party to take over? You are really feasible, old boy.

Although Li Luo would never abandon Cui Xiuning, it cannot be said that Xiao Yin is confused.

Because Liu Xiu had done the deposed his wife Guo Shengtong and changed to Yin Lihua. There were too many emperors doing this in history books.

There are not many monarchs who can be a wife who is not in the family.

If Li Luo was not a time traveler, but an ancient native, it would be impossible to do such things.

Xiao Yin's move is not low-level, but he doesn't know that he has completely used the wrong object.

"It seems that we are going to start destroying Liang." Li Luo said with his eyes narrowed.

During this period, Xiao Yin made many moves, either to steal firearms, to form an alliance with Zhao Song Dali, or to build a water army.

Moreover, when Xiao Yan used force to force the wealthy families to pay food, the food crisis in Liang State has been alleviated, and the most dangerous moment has passed.

The Liang State has a population of more than 10 million. As the regime stabilizes, it will become stronger and stronger.

However, we cannot destroy Liang with force openly. First, the strong Yuan in the north is still there and they are eyeing each other. Second, the Han people will kill each other. Li Luo is unwilling to do this unless he has to force him.

Then we can only continue to implement the plan of "occupying the magpie's nest".

"Chen Yu, tell Liang's own people and let them speed up the plan." Li Luo said coldly, "From what you see, when will you swallow Liang?"

Chen Yu said: "They have already controlled most of the military power of Liang State, and the court has a great influence. But it is not enough to easily swallow Liang. The main reason is that our military power in the Kyoto of Liang State is not enough. Most of the power in local prefectures and counties is still under Xiao Yin's control. I guess if I don't fight, it will take at least one year to prepare."

Li Luo nodded, he could still wait for this time.

Three days later, Liu Fuzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Liang, finally arrived in Chengdu. But after only half a day in Chengdu, he left with a ugly expression.

Li Luo refused without any remark!

When Liu Fu left, Li Luo smiled at Yang Hanming and said, "Xiao Yin must have thought that I despised his daughter. In fact, I really have no intention of accepting a concubine."

"King, is the imperial examination in Yizhou still held this year?" Wen Tianxiang said, saying, he had just received the scholar.

Li Luo pondered and said: "The content of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is different from the previous Song Dynasty. If the examination is held and I am worried that no one will pass, it will be a joke."

Wen Tianxiang said: "People's public opinion is half in the Shilin. As the ministers see it, the king can push the exam to October to facilitate the desire to win the Shilin. If you don't take the exam this year..."

The man pointed to the east when he said this, "Xiao Liang has already held the imperial examination, but it is still the system of the pre-Song Dynasty. I am worried that many scholars will go to Liang State by then."

Li Luoshen thought it was. Wen Tianxiang thought very thoughtfully. If he didn't take the exam this year, many scholars would really go to Liang Kingdom to take the exam. In theory, he didn't care about such short-sighted scholars, but if they said it, they would not have a good impact, which would make him, the King of Tang, lose face.

"Then, as Mr. said, first announce the content of the imperial examination, and then distribute the scientific examination textbooks to let them copy. The examination will start in October, well, there will be half a year of study, and many people should be able to pass the test."

Wen Tianxiang said: "Abide by the order. There is another thing. Now in March, the grass is growing and the beards are flying. The king has been working hard for several days. Do you want to go outside the city to relax and watch the scenery in Shu?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "Yes, sir, know my heart well. Then go to Wuhou Temple first, then to Du Fu Thatched Cottage to commemorate the ancestors."

Later, after Wen Tianxiang announced the date of the imperial examination, several monarchs and ministers left Chengdu City and headed to the Wuhou Temple in the south of the city. According to the plan, Li Luo and others would go out for a few days in the suburbs to appreciate the charm of Shu.

But as soon as Li Luo left, the city of Chengdu became lively.

When Chengdu City was at its peak, it had a population of more than 300,000, and it was a real southwest metropolis. However, after the Yuan army massacred, there were only tens of thousands of people left in the city. After these years, it did not recover.

But at this time, Jincheng, which had a population of 90,000, was still very lively. Especially after being recaptured by the Tang army, it soon began to show the weathering of that year.

However, the most troublesome thing in Chengdu is now the scholars.

Many people gathered outside the current provincial and ministerial yamen in Pingzhang Yamen, talking excitedly about notices about the imperial examination. Most people were surprised and looked confused, while a small number were "indignant".

"Why do you have to take the math and agriculture exam? You have to take the six arts exams? What's the reason!" A white and fat scholar pointed at the notice with a red face and said.

Another scholar with a long face shook his head, "That's right. We are a scholar who participates in the imperial examinations to be an official and herdsman. What kind of agricultural studies should we take? Calculation, and the principles of saints are important! It's really good!"

"You said it's a must!" Another short scholar was also angry, "What are you doing in the Six Arts? Do scholars also have to shoot arrows and ride horses? Rely on a hammer, oh? It's time!"

The few scholars were so striking that most scholars could not help but look at each other.

The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were indeed novel, but the Tang Dynasty was a new dynasty, and the new dynasty had a new atmosphere. Moreover, the king revived Yizhou, rescued the people of Yizhou from the Tartar court, and implemented the equal-field order to benefit all the people. He then restored the imperial examinations that had been abolished by the Mongol Yuan, giving them a way out. They were sincerely grateful.

Therefore, a few dissonant voices immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone.

"I'll instigate you, a hammer!" A scholar rebuked, "Jiang Silang, the new dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has fair exams, everyone relies on their abilities, can't your son take the exam?"

The fat Jiang Silang immediately became furious, "Ge! Take the hammer test! King, you can do it? Oh? You can ride a horse and horse? Oh? Then you can still be lustful? Then you are cowhide!"

Wang Shu snorted coldly: "You can't learn it? You can read sages and rats, but you can't learn how to calculate a rat? You can't learn how many times you fall? You can't learn how to practice your strength and pull the eight-dou bow? Then what else do you have to use!"

Wang Shu said it right. Although the Tang Dynasty imperial examination requires riding horses and shooting arrows, the requirements are not high. As long as you can ride a horse and cannot fall off, you can barely pull the lightest Eight-Dou Bow and shoot at close range, you will be qualified.

In fact, only young and middle-aged men with good health can do it after practicing for a period of time.

How could it be so difficult?

After Wang Shuyi finished speaking, many scholars agreed with him and accused Jiang Silang and others of the words.

Most confident scholars actually want the most: fairness.

As long as you take a fair exam, if you pass the exam, you will be responsible for so many things? No matter how strange the exam content is, it is not aimed at one person. Everyone takes the same exam.

When Jiang Silang saw everyone refuting him, he was even more angry. He pointed and told him: "You guys can't see it! Nine-ranked! After passing the exam, you can only be a minister! Is the minister still an official? It's new! What kind of official is this? The cowherd!"

His friends also helped and said, "Yes, yes! When Zhao Guanjia was in the imperial examination, it would be amazing! On the list, the worst is also an eighth-rank thi! Donghuamen's roster is so glorious! But this imperial examination? The highest examination is also an ninth-rank rank! What kind of official is this!"

The scholar Wu Nie really couldn't stand it anymore. He was not from Shu and didn't want to show up before, but when he heard this person's words, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, I'm not revived, can you take the imperial examination? Even if you are a ninth rank, do you have the chance to get it? Will the Tartars be the official for you?"

Jiang Silang sneered: "Wu Nie, you are a foreigner, just talking nonsense! A ninth rank will be the one who is on the way? Why are you studying sages and rats? To play with mud in the countryside? Don't hurt to speak while standing! If you want me to instigate, you should go to the King of Rats and let the King open up the way to speak and listen to our scholars!"

His two friends also said together: "By the enemy! Get on the rat! Get on the king!"

Wu Nie lowered his face and said, "So what if you are a foreigner? You can't say a fair word? You are a scholar, why are you full of vulgarity?"

"What kind of person are the rebel army, restore the southern country and drive away the Tartars? How can you change your orders every day because of your words? Humph, I would like to advise you not to be full of trouble and not to be so angry! If it is the Emperor of Tartar, do you dare to do it?"

Jiang Silang said angrily: "Then I won't take the exam! I won't get into the rat! Liang Kingdom is also enrolling the imperial examination! I will go to the west to take the exam! I won't do this ninth rank of the Tang Dynasty!"

After Jiang Siro finished speaking, he did not dare to offend the public again, so he left with a few friends in anger.

The spies in the crowd have long recorded what happened here.

"Senior, will you arrest me?" a small spy asked a spy stationed in Chengdu.

The spy looked at the records and said slowly: "The king and Chen Yu have already explained it. If any scholar is dissatisfied with the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, let it go. If they want to go to the Liang Kingdom exam, they will also go with them. I don't need such a person in the Tang Dynasty, and it would be better if I don't take the exam."

"No!" The little spy received the order.

"But..." His boss changed his tone, "If you dare to attack and insult the king and the court, you will be arrested for the crime of great disrespect and will never tolerate it!"

"Don't worry, senior! This is natural." said the little spy.

…………

"Teacher, Jiangling is in urgent need!" Li Zhi hurried in in the Lin'an Palace and handed over a piece of information to Cui Xiuning who was settled with a serious expression.

Cui Xiuning put down the account book, picked up the information and saw it, and immediately laughed.

"Teacher, Xiao Yin deserves to be so rude." Li Zhi gritted his teeth.

Cui Xiuning casually put the information on the case, "Although this person's method is despicable, he is still a clever one. He just used the wrong person. The king will never depose the queen and marry Xiao Er."

Li Zhi was still a little worried, "Teacher, there is only the teacher in the harem of the king. I heard that Xiao Ze is the number one beauty in Jiangling. Although he must not be as good as the teacher, if the king... it will be difficult for the teacher to do it."

"Don't worry." Cui Xiuning said disapprovingly, "Don't worry about this matter anymore. Well, what kind of person is Xiao Er?"

Li Zhi said: "According to information, this woman is beautiful and intelligent, and has a manly ambition, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Before she became a princess, she once ordered a servant to pull out the tongue because the man said something that should not have been said. However, few people know about this, and the students think that this woman is hypocritical and cruel."

Cui Xiuning raised her head and thought to herself that I'll go, let me meet?

"Xiao Ze once said that if you get married, you will marry the king. He also said that if you are not a great hero, you will be really delusional." Li Zhi said coldly. Although she was a student carefully trained by Cui Xiuning, she was an ancient woman after all, so she was still worried that the king would let the queen down.

Cui Xiuning was unhappy. No woman would be happy if she was thinking about her husband by other women. Even if she knew that Li Luo would not depose her queen, she would not be indifferent.

"Don't Xiao Yin want to use beauty tricks? Don't he want to marry?" Cui Xiuning smiled, "Then help him." She gently spit out two words: "Yunnan."

Li Zhi quickly realized, "The student understands, let's make arrangements."

When Li Zhi left, Cui Xiuning sat alone on the shore and picked up the information again. The more he looked, the colder his face became.

"Xiao Yin, damn..."

After a while, Cui Xiuning cursed two words.

After Cui Xiuning handled some things, she came to Taigongyuan to visit Yan Duo and Li Zheng.

Yan Duo and Li Zheng, the old and young, were chatting in the sunny yard.

"Dafather, does it still hurt?" Li Zheng, who is already three years old, raised his little face and touched the arrow wound on Yan Duo's face.

Before, when the Yuan army crossed the river, Yan Duo and Cui Xiuning divided their troops to defend. They were attacked by Jiande personally and were hit by Shui Dada in the face. Fortunately, this arrow was shot by Shui Dada in the river, and it was insufficient, so he saved his life.

"It doesn't hurt." Yan Duo's hair was already white. He held Li Zheng's little hand, "Son, men cannot be afraid of pain, nor dare to fight. If they are afraid of pain, they dare not fight. If they dare not fight, they will be bullied."

"What is being bullied?" The little Yongzhou Mu has never been bullied, so he asked this question.

Yan Duo thought for a while, "It's like Xiao Hui is more powerful than Xiao Bai, so he often bit Xiao Bai and snatch Xiao Bai's meat to eat. Do you understand?"

Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai are both foxes and are also pets of Prince Tang.

Now, the Yongzhou Mu finally understood.

It turns out that if you don’t dare to fight, just like Xiaobai, it would be quite pitiful.

"My grandson understands." Li Zheng nodded seriously.

Yan Duo touched Li Zheng's head, "So, wild beasts need to be strong and people need to have the courage to avoid being bullied. You must remember this principle."

Cui Xiuning couldn't help but feel amused when she heard the two of them talking.

The son was always led by his adoptive father. Since his son began to understand some truth, the adoptive father began to teach him.

Li Luo once told her not to teach her children too early and not to influence her son with modern ideas, because it would harm him.

Living in ancient times, don’t think about spreading modern ideas by your own strength. It is neither possible nor meaningless.

On the contrary, the declining prince, who has rich experience in struggle, can teach his son something more useful.

"Dad." Cui Xiuning came over and looked at Yan Duo's face, "Is the wound still itchy?"

"It's not itchy anymore." Yan Duo shook his head and said.

"Mom." Li Zheng shouted sweetly and hugged Cui Xiuning's legs.

Cui Xiuning sat down next to her, and soon the female fox came over with her tail dragging her tail, surrounded Cui Xiuning very intimately, trying to wag its tail clumsyly like a dog.

This was the first "partner" of Choi Soo-ning and Li Luo after they came to this era. On the most difficult days, Choi Soo-ning couldn't bear to ignore the pregnancy at that time.

The spring in March is beautiful and the sun is comfortable. Cui Xiuning suddenly realized that she hadn't gone out to relax for a long time. She was really too busy.

This shows that the Tang Dynasty's system is not perfect, especially the lack of central officials.

The three of them sat on the stone bench and chatted about family matters, mixed with some political affairs that Li Zheng could not understand.

Suddenly, Yan Duo sat up suddenly, "What did you say just now? Kublai Khan is imitating firearms? Already recruiting new recruits?"

Cui Xiuning nodded: "Kublai went to Baozhou Gunpowder Factory at the beginning of last month. This month, they secretly recruited firearms. However, their gunpowder still doesn't work, and the firearm samples come out are not good either. However, it is much stronger than the previous storm guns."

The Yuan army firearm workshop was a place where the Special Inspection Bureau had laid out for a long time, and Kublai Khan could not hide it at all.

Yan Duo thought for a while, "Kublai may be going to use troops to the west."

What? Use troops to the west?

Cui Xiuning was stunned. It was inevitable that the Yuan court imitated the firearms of the Tang Kingdom. The Yuan army suffered so much loss and could not ignore them. But she thought that the Yuan court imitated the firearms of the Tang Kingdom were here to deal with the Tang Kingdom.

"Dad thinks that the Yuanting firearms are not used to build firearms and train firearms, not to deal with us?" Cui Xiuning asked. She is not as good as Yan Duo in terms of military strategy.

"It shouldn't be." Yan Duo pondered, "I know these ideas of the Mongolian Tatars very well. They will never use their own shortcomings to defeat the enemy's strengths."

"Kublai Khan could not have known that the new firearms built by the Yuan Dynasty were not as good as those of the Tang Dynasty. This thing was not something that could be successfully copied so quickly. But he still wanted to build it, and it was definitely not against us, because our firearms were much stronger than him."

"It is much easier to train firearms than cavalry. The Yuan Ting firearms are not as good as us, and the population is not as good as us. If he trains firearms to deal with the Tang Dynasty, he would be stupid."

Cui Xiuning understood. I thought about it a lot. Not to mention that the Yuan Ting firearms are much worse than the Tang munitions, even if they are completely copied successfully, it is difficult to gain the upper hand when fighting against the Tang army. The firearms rely heavily on logistics, have poor mobility, and are difficult to move quickly with the cavalry.

Could it be to deal with the Khanate in the West?

If Kublai Khan had more powerful firearms, it would have caused the Western Khanate without firearms to suffer a great loss, just like Li Luo dealt with the Yuan army in the south.

Yan Duo thought for a long time, "If I were Kublai Khan, it is very likely that when the firearm army formed an army, he entered Tubo westward and took the initiative to detour the southern expedition, but suddenly followed Tubo into the Western Regions and destroyed Haidu."

Cui Xiu couldn't believe it after hearing it. But she didn't dare to take Yan Duo's words lightly.

…………

Dadu, Guanghan Palace, Eagle House.

Kublai Khan was discussing secretly with several confidant ministers. Since the defeat in the south, Kublai Khan has become more and more careful in his actions. He has hardly discussed major military affairs in the court.

Many orders are delivered in a direction by secret decree, and they are also reminded not to let others know.

He didn't know the existence of the Special Bureau. But this old man had the intuition of an old beast.

He felt worried.

"Shan, the new firearm is still not as powerful as the rebels." Boyan held a musket with a fuse.

This musket was only recently made for the second generation of samples, and the barrel was made of iron rolled up.

"How much difference?" Kublai Khan asked, rubbing the musket.

Boyan said: "It is said that the rebels' muskets can break armor within forty feet. The firing rate is much faster. As for this musket, they can only break armor within twenty battles, and the firing rate is much slower."

Kublai Khan sighed, "That is to say, although the gunpowder that makes beans is much more powerful, it is still not as good as rebel gunpowder. Where is the problem?"

Boyan smiled and said, "The Khan is wise and wise, and has already spyed on the power of creation. This gunpowder is much stronger than before. After another year and a half, there will be progress. However, we have to deal with the rebels, this firearm, this firearm..."

He didn't dare to say it, but he thought it was inappropriate to use the power of the rebels to deal with the rebels.

No matter how powerful the Dayuan firearms are, they are not as good as the rebels. Even if they train firearms, they cannot compare with the rebels in Jiangnan and Sichuan in terms of manpower and material resources.

You know, in the whole north, the people, slaves and refugees, are estimated to be more than 20 million.

Spending a lot of material and financial resources with the rebels' fire fighting weapons will suffer any loss.

Kublai Khan put down his musket, "It's still comfortable to hold the bow and arrow, it's so refreshing." He looked at Boyan, "Who said I want to use firearms to deal with the rebels?"

Boyan immediately understood, he pointed to the west, "What does the Khan mean..."

Kublai Khan nodded and said while feeding a Haidongqing himself, "Boyan, will a smart hunter only stare at one prey?"

Boyan, An Tong and others shook their heads together. Even Mongolian teenagers understood this truth.

"Haidu and the others want to take the opportunity to rebel. They don't want to listen to me, and they want to shoot eagles while the eagles are hunting. They disappoint me. Alas, they are not smart people."

Kublai Khan showed a disappointed and cold look, like an old and dangerous lion. "They rejected me and wanted to watch Dayuan fail. They were laughing at me."

"The more this time, the easier it is to take action. We must prepare to send troops secretly. Then we will take Han arms and weapons down from Tubo and catch them off guard. Of course, this firearm will not work against the rebels, but if we have to deal with Haidu unexpectedly, it will take his life."

Prince Zhenjin said, "Father Khan, do we ignore the rebels when we fight Haidu?"

Kublai Khan sat down, "My real gold is not there now. It is too risky to detour Tubo into Dali, and then the rebels with sharp lighters are too sharp. It is true that Li Luo is a traitor, but he is also a great talent. The precious cavalry of Dayuan cannot be easily consumed in the south."

"With the current division of the south, Dayuan should do something. What should he do? Just like Genghis Khan, he will fight west again!"

Kublai Khan suddenly stood up, "Genghis Khan made an expedition to the west for the enemy! But I, Kublai Khan, went west for the unification of the Great Mongolian Kingdom again! There can only be one supreme Khan in the Great Mongolian Kingdom!"

"Can Li Luo and Xiao Yin rebellion be created by Dayuan. Can I teach my family a lesson and unify the Great Mongolian again?"

"When I will unify the west, how many cavalry will be added? How many land and slaves will be added? Even if the Han people really become a climate and have the ability to drive our Mongolian army out of the Central Plains, then our Great Mongolian Kingdom can still traverse the West!"

"You all have to remember that there are still a few nests of cunning rabbits, let alone us Mongolians. Since Haidu and others want to make an arrow alone, then I will break this arrow!"

"Only you know about this matter. After you go down, you will prepare secretly and hurry up. We will send troops at the end of the year!"

"Zhe!" Boyan and others bowed together.

Then, secret orders flew out of Dadu. The Yuan court, which had not been moved for a long time, was like a ferocious beast in the wilderness, stretching out its minions in secret.

Haidu and others were watching jokes in the west. They never expected that Kublai Khan would come to deal with them at this moment when he was least afraid to take action.

Xiaoliang Imperial Palace.

"Princess." Ming'e entered the study room of Princess Xiao Er with an ugly expression, and suddenly knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Xun frowned in displeasure. She felt a trace of bad breath.

Ming'e raised her head, "Liu Fuzhi has been back from Chengdu. Li Luo refused directly. He said that the queen is virtuous and good, and there is no reason to depose the queen. Liu Fuzhi was confused and even said that he could be a concubine. But Li Luo still refused."

Xiao Zi looked indifferent and even smiled, "Oh? Can't you even be a concubine? Haha. What about Li Luo's words?"

Ming'e didn't dare to look up and whispered: "He said that there is a virtuous wife in the family, and she has no intention of accepting a concubine, so she dares not delay the princess's youth."

"What a big deal? You go down." Xiao Feng said lightly.

"Yes." Ming'e didn't dare to talk too much, and quickly retreated.

Xiao Yi sat blankly on the desk, and the pen in his hand had long been contaminated with a piece of rice paper.

Slowly, the girl's eyes returned to the paper fan again. Her pen was like a dragon and snake, and soon, on the rice paper contaminated by ink, she changed it into a picture of plum blossoms.

The modification was very good. But the girl wiped the picture of ink plum blossoms with a stroke.

"What a pity to do with a good painting."

Xiao Xu said to himself, raising his beautiful eyes. The originally bright waves were already indifferent, like a dark and cold sky.
