In the fifth year of Yonghui, March.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and it is another season.

After getting rid of many troubles of the previous year, Li Zhi had no time to have free time and brought Wu Meiniang and a group of concubines and civil and military ministers to Wannian Palace in the name of "Spring Outing".

It is said to be a spring outing, but in fact it is nothing more than changing the place to continue to deal with political affairs.

Wannian Palace was the first Li Palace in the Tang Dynasty. It was built in February of the 13th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty and completed in March of the 15th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty. It was named "Renshou Palace" and was the Li Palace of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

It was restored and expanded in the fifth year of Zhenguan in Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and renamed "Jiucheng Palace".

Li Zhishi once changed his name to "Wannian Palace", meaning Yihe Wanshou, and later restored his original name.

This palace is built on the hillside and is very large in scale.

Li Zhi moved in and brought the harem and important ministers, but there was no sense of crowding at all.

In the evening, the mountain wind with the fragrance of the soil blows across Wannian Palace.

Li Zhi, who was lying in front of the desk, twitched his nose twice, sighed, threw down the pen in his hand, and stood up.

"It's true that I didn't feel relaxed even after coming to Wannian Palace."

He smiled bitterly and beat his shoulders.

It feels so sour, as if the shoulders no longer belong to me.

"His Majesty."

A pair of fair and plump hands appeared at the right time.

Extend from Li Zhi and gently press the sore shoulders.

The familiar and understanding voice said at the same time: "Does your Majesty have a headache? Do you want to rub it?"

"Mei Niang."

Li Zhi smiled at the corner of his mouth and reached out to hold Wu Meiniang's hand.

Following her hand, I saw her belly bulging and she was struggling to stand.

"Mei Niang, you are inconvenient, sit and rest for a while."

"I am not tired. I have been lying down for a long time. Your Majesty, why not take a look at the sunset together?"

“Okay.”

Li Zhi nodded and agreed, holding Wu Meiniang's hand, and slowly walked to the window.

There is a corridor outside, and a little further away, there is a cliff, where you can see the undulating peaks and greenery.

A little further away, the clouds and the mountains merge into a line.

The sun slowly sets there.

The endless orange glow dyed the sky with red vermilion, like a fire.

Li Zhi took a long breath: "This Wannian Palace is really good. The Daxing Palace is low and too wet. Sometimes I feel a headache for my knee bones after sitting for a long time."

As he said that, he pointed to the scenery in the mountains: "Mei Niang, it's empty and unique. I've been sitting in the palace all year round. Now when I see such a scenery, I feel much more relaxed."

"His Majesty."

Wu Meiniang held his hand and tightened it gently: "If your Majesty likes it, you can rebuild the Daming Palace in the future..."

"I'll talk about this later."

Li Zhi whispered: "Mei Niang, don't talk, watch with me for a while."

"Um."

It’s strange that Li Zhi has countless women around him, but he is the most relaxed and comfortable only when he is with Wu Mei.

The queen is disrespectful to him.

But that feeling was tense and was holding the queen's airs, which always made Li Zhi unable to feel relieved.

What's more, when I think of the people standing behind Queen Wang.

Forget it, please give up.

Originally, Concubine Xiao Shu was pretty good, so she could play some songs to relieve her boredom.

There is also Xu Jieyu in the harem, who is also full of poetry and books.

However, they were also cautious in front of themselves and always felt that something was missing.

Only when you are with Mei Niang,

Only then can you truly relax.

Just like an ordinary couple.

Li Zhi quietly felt in his heart, as if he said casually: "By the way, Mei Niang, are your brother here this time?"

"I'll ask him to come and guard it outside."

"Well, I have the opportunity to bring a meeting."

"Then I will thank His Majesty for Ami."

Wu Meiniang's eyes circulated and she smiled slightly.

Li Zhi mentioned it casually as if he was heartless, and it was actually "Jian Zai Di Xin".

Anyway Su Dawei has the heart to be fame and fortune,

It is not difficult to climb up.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at being an official.

"Aqi!"

Su Dawei sneezes and couldn't help but murmur: "Who is thinking of me?"

Someone said on the side: "Ami, I think you caught a cold last night. This sneeze was caused by an external cold. What does it have to do with whoever thinks you?"

The auspicious lion Su Qingjie bit a dog's tail grass on the side, and said in a seemingly bored way.

Originally, last year, his father, Su Lie, had to transfer him to the left and right mansions.

However, Su Qingjie strongly opposed it, and when he encountered His Majesty moving to Wannian Palace to work, he temporarily summoned people to protect him, including the bad people from Wannian County in Chang'an, all of them were scattered to the periphery.

"Stop talking about this, what's going on with the Tokyo Guild Hall?"

Su Dawei picked up a piece of dry and hard soil and threw it at Su Qingjie in a daze: "What do you say in Dali Temple? The Wozheng Camp said it would do it two years ago, but there is no accurate letter until now."

"Don't mention it, let's get angry when you mention this."

Su Qingjie slapped his thigh hard: "First, it was the envoy sent to Tang from Japan, and then Chen Shuozhen rebelled. Although he was finally led by Wuzhou Governor Cui Yixuan and Yangzhou Governor Fang Renyu to attack his army and defeat him, there was no energy to pay attention to these things."

Speaking of this, Su Qingjie shook her head with some emotion.

Very disheartened.

"Last year, the Western Turkic Khan, who was named Zhenzhu Yehu in Jiefedu, had a conflict with Shabolu Khan, so he attacked Shabolu with Wu Bi, defeated Shabolu and killed more than a thousand people."

Yuchi Baolin held the helmet in her hand, strode over and said casually: "The court has many things to pay attention to, how can it cover everything?"

Wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, he looked around and said, "If you really want to do things, you might as well join the army."

"join the army?"

Su Dawei looked at him in surprise.

"yes."

Yuchi Baolin sat down and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, she said mysteriously: "I heard that the north is..."

He pointed: "There is a bit uneasy in Goguryeo. There is a rumor that the court intends to use troops."

"Hey, you're pointing the wrong way, that's the south!"

Su Dawei grabbed his hand speechlessly and changed direction to him.

Well, from this direction, I just pointed to the north gate of Wannian Palace.

He is still an old acquaintance.

It is the northern gate of Chang'an Imperial City, the north gate of Tai Chi Palace, and the Xue Li of Xuanwu Gate.

This time, Li Zhi moved to Wannian Palace and they were also transferred.

It is also the north gate, and the north gate of Wannian Palace is also called Xuanwu Gate.

It sounds a bit big, but in ancient times, the city gate was called by the divine beasts in all directions. The so-called Qinglong in the East, White Tiger in the West, Vermillion Bird in the South, and Xuanwu in the North were all the appropriate meanings in the title.

"Really or not?"

Su Qingjie spit out the dog tail grass in his mouth in one mouthful, looking stunned.

They are all young and passionate. They grew up listening to the stories of their fathers fighting on the battlefield. When they heard that they might fight, they were a little eager to try.

"Don't think about lions. Whoever tells you to refuse to listen to General Su? If you really fight, you will definitely not have your share."

Yuchi Baolin covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Your mother, just laugh so hard!"

Su Qingjie looked depressed and punched Yuchi Baolin. As a result, Yuchi was rough and thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, don't be depressed, lion, you should do your job well and check those Japanese. I think these Japanese will cause trouble sooner or later."

Su Dawei touched the handle of the knife on his waist and said affirmatively.

When he said this, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had remembered something.

That's right, if I remember it well, Japan had a battle with the Tang Dynasty, and it was indeed during the Li Zhi Dynasty, and maybe I could still encounter it.

What Yuchi said just now may be true.

The Tang Dynasty's war against Goguryeo continued the strategy of the Sui Dynasty. By the time Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ruled, it continued to weaken this strong neighbor in the north.

If I remember correctly, it was during Li Zhichao.

Only then did this strong neighbor from the north be completely wiped out.

From then on, Goguryeo withdrew from the stage of history.

Alas, thinking about it this way, Li Zhi is still very awesome. Why do the historical dramas filmed in later generations have created a cowardly image, as if Li Zhi has been underestimated by Wu Zetian.

If Li Zhi was weak, where would the prosperous Tang Dynasty come from?

The old fox, company commander Sun Wuji, ended up falling into Li Zhi's hands.

Su Dawei shook his head and suddenly saw someone walking towards him. He looked at him and couldn't help but smile and said to Yuchi Baolin and Su Qingjie: "In my opinion, I don't know when this battle will be fought, but someone who understands it is coming. You can ask him later."

"Who?"

Su Qingjie and Yuchi Baolin saw Su Dawei stand up and looked over with their eyes.

At first glance, I saw the general who had guarded the north gate, as if they were like them, and after taking a turn for a rest, he was walking towards this side.

"Ship Su."

Xue Li clasped her fists at Su Dawei.

"General Xue, are you resting too? Come and sit down."

Su Dawei greeted: "These two are my friends, this Yuchi Baolin, this is Su Qingjie."

After introducing the two, Xue Li also held her fists and greeted her: "I have met two brothers, Yuchi, but the Duke of E? Brother Su, are General Su's family?"

Xue Li said casually, obviously knowing the affairs of these nobles in the army, but he had no intention of flattery on his face. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was not annoying.

"Ami, this person is..."

"Just about to introduce you to me, this is General Xue Li, yes..."

"Are you Xue Rengui?"

Yuchi Baolin, who had a lazy face before, stood up suddenly and said with surprise: "I used to conquer Goguryeo when Taizong conquers Goguryeo, and once said..."

"Not mentioning these things."

A trace of sadness flashed in Xue Li's eyes.

"At that time, I thought that with Taizong, I could defeat Goguryeo, but I didn't know that it was Taizong who took us to the last expedition."

After saying this, everyone was silent.

Fortunately, Xue Li quickly reacted and smiled with a little self-deprecating smile: "I was just saying a word. I just saw a few chatting here, and I just happened to finish my turn, so I came over to sit down. Don't be surprised by them."

"Won't."
