Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 260 Super shock from Shi Pu

Li Youtong's squinting kill was of no use to Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan didn't even look at her, and after saluting, he was busy with his affairs.

"Humph!"

After entering the inner hall, the atmosphere was a bit strange, his father Li Keyong was not around, and his mother Liu Shi was drinking tea with a gloomy face.

"mother!"

Mrs. Liu glanced at it, but didn't see it again.

Li Youtong was a little flustered, this scene seemed familiar, I remember when I was a child, when I went to the house to expose the roof tiles, and punched the little hero of the Eighteenth Road in Hedong, my mother acted like this.

Even if he is a virtuous concubine now, she can't resist because of the suppression of his blood!

What's the matter, what's the matter?She took a deep breath, tried to adjust the expression on her face to the most obedient appearance, stepped forward lightly, and said: "Mother, my daughter brought you a court-style golden step, which is based on sapphire and made of gold. Leather, inlaid with pearls and agates, the chain is made of gold and silver, mother, look, how beautiful..."

As Li Youtong said, he inserted the golden step into Liu Shi's bun, and looked left and right while hugging Liu Shi.

"nice!"

"Mom, just smile..."

As soon as this laughing and savage got on the horse, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold it anymore, but she still said with a straight face:
"Mother heard that you didn't keep the palace rituals in Luoyang, and gathered women to dance knives and sticks. You have a body, and you still ride horses every day. Is there such a thing?"

"..."

"Yes or no?"

Li Youtong muttered and nodded.

"It's Li Siyuan..."

"Don't you care who it is?"

Li Youtong lowered his head, held his breath, and desperately dug the ground with his thumb.

Mrs. Liu sighed, and said: "You are too willful. If you lose your fetal gas, what should you do? My mother is from the past. After marrying your father, she was pregnant with a child. How could you do it in times of chaos? Take care of your baby with peace of mind, when Helian Duo attacked Yunzhou, my mother panicked and left the city, she had a miscarriage, and she hasn't conceived until now..."

As Liu said, her eye circles were red. The sad past, not giving birth to a child, has always been her pain point. If she hadn't seen her daughter like this, she would not have said it.

"mother!"

Mrs. Liu continued: "Mother can see it too. Your Majesty dotes on you, but you also have to cherish blessings, obey the rules, and understand etiquette. You are young now. After a long time, when the child grows up, if you are always so willful, His Majesty will annoy you one day, and at that time, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

"Your Majesty will annoy me?" Li Youtong almost laughed when he remembered how the emperor crept around in the morning.

Mrs. Liu looked at Li Youtong, seeing her appearance like this, she couldn't tell that the newlyweds looked like they were wrapped in honey, and they probably didn't listen to what she just said!
Come on, my daughter is getting older, so she can't keep talking all day long.

"Mother, did Li Siyuan tell you?"

"Don't care who it is!"

"It must be him!" Li Youtong said: "Mother, please tell Yeye one thing, don't transfer Li Siyuan back!"

Liu's expression froze, she looked at Li Youtong and said, "Did your Majesty ask you to say it?"

Li Youtong shook his head and said: "Mother, I thought so myself, think about it, when I return to Chang'an, I don't know anyone, if my daughter is wronged, I don't know who to tell, besides, since Li Siyuan I can see where I did something wrong, and if he reminds me, my daughter will make fewer mistakes!"

This reason is full of confidence, Liu raised his brows, made up his mind, and sighed: "I just don't know if Your Majesty can tolerate him!"

When Li Youtong heard this, he said urgently: "You can tolerate him, you can tolerate him, your majesty said he is a general, so he must be tolerated!"

Mrs. Liu understood as soon as she heard it, her expression was a little strange, no wonder, it turned out that His Majesty the Emperor was tempted by Li Siyuan.

But what You Tong said was not unreasonable.

"Mother, there are only more than 1000 people, and Dad has tens of thousands of cavalry, which is not far behind these 1000 people. Mother, please beg Dad!"

Liu smiled wryly and said: "What do you know, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. You think His Majesty values ​​these thousands of cavalry, but he values ​​General Li Siyuan!"

"Mom, you... how do you know..."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Li Youtong, and said: "Mother knows, if you tell your father and king, mother will not interfere!"

"Thank you mother, do you know what I brought to Yeye? One hundred jars of royal wine, one thousand taels of gold, and 1 taels of silver!"

His Majesty the Emperor has also paid for it, Liu said, "Come on, with these yellow and white things, Li Siyuan will definitely not be able to go back..."

……

The most important event before the emperor has always been military and political affairs.

It was Shi Pu's first time to participate in a court meeting. Just like in Chang'an, there was a huge sand table in the middle of the meeting hall.

The sand table is very simple, only marking the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, Taihang, Qinling and other major mountains and rivers, the approximate range of each state, and some data such as population and garrison.

Only the emperor, Shi Pu, Jing Xiang and Du Rangneng participated.

This court meeting was of great significance to Shi Pu, and it was also the first time for him to join the core decision-making level of Datang.

Seeing this huge sand table gave him a great visual shock, especially the red flags were planted in the areas controlled by the imperial court. There is one in two in the world, and the garrisons everywhere are also marked on the sand table.

There are more than [-] prefectures in Liangchuan, and there are about [-] to [-] soldiers in each prefecture. The full [-] Dongchuan soldiers are stationed on the Dongchuan River. They can not only protect the Dongchuan Yangtze River, but also advance along the river. Ten thousand Xichuan soldiers defended the mountain people and Tubo.

Looking at Gyeonggi-do, the garrisons are also well-organized everywhere. There are also [-] to [-] soldiers in Hexi, from Yinzhou and Suizhou in the north, Caozhou in the east, and Guangzhou in Huainan in the south.

call!
Shi Pu roughly calculated that there were no less than 30 California soldiers in the Forbidden Army.

When did Tang Ting have such a powerful army?

Even the Hehuang Valley was planted with the flag of the Tang Dynasty. It must be known that during the Kaiyuan period, in the Shanhehuang Valley, [-] war horses were donated to the imperial court a year.

This...if it takes time...who in the world can resist, no...not now!
Li Ye silently watched Shi Pu staring at the sand table without interrupting. The deployment of troops on the sand table is the core secret of Datang, but sometimes it is necessary to show off one's muscles. For example, at this time, the court needs a stable Environment, to digest this large territory.

"The Xuanwu war is over. The damage situation in each state and county needs to be counted. The population and field registers have to be re-censused. The summer harvest is coming soon. By the way, there are still many refugees. These people can grant land, and the court can use their work as relief to dredge the river. Ditch, dear dear, draw up a charter and discuss it in court!"

"promise!"

"Most of the state and county officials are former Xuanwu officials, Aiqing should be familiar with it!"

Jing Xiang nodded and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, most of them are familiar!"

"Aiqing also draws up a reward and punishment charter. I treat them equally, but those who are capable go up and those who are mediocre go down. I don't hesitate to reward those who have made great achievements in farming, governing the people, and building water conservancy. I won't sit idly by either."

"promise!"

Li Ye paused, and then said to Du Rangeng: "Order Shannan Xidao, Hanzhong, Liangchuan, Guanzhong, Hezhong, Zhaoyi, Caizhou, Shanguo and other prefectures to estimate how much food they can have and how much surplus they can have. Turn it in?"

"promise!"

"Shi County King!"

"Chen is here!"

Li Ye walked to the sand table, pointed to the location of Yangzhou, and said to Shi Pu: "I want to conquer Sun Ru, where do you think is the right place to store food?"
