Chapter 30: Heaven will descend on a great mission
May is the beginning of summer.
The nectar hall under the night is filled with tranquility.
In the garden behind the hall, there was a small table, and the table was filled with desserts that Li Zhi liked to eat.
The bright moon hanging high above his head, feeling the coolness brought by the night wind, Li Zhi sat on the rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Wu Meiniang looked at the two-year-old Li Hong and the one-year-old Li Si, under the care of the palace servants and eunuchs, and was playing in the garden. She couldn't help but say coquettishly: "I wanted to run away before I learned to leave."
After saying that, she reached out to take her third child, Li Xian, from the wet nurse beside her, from Li Zhi.
Not long after she gave birth to Princess Anding last year, she became pregnant with Li Xian.
In a sense, Wu Mei and Li Zhi are extremely loving. In history, there were almost one child, and they had four sons and two daughters.
Li Xian was later Prince Zhang Huai.
He gently patted Li Xian in his arms and looked at the child's big black and white eyes quietly looking at him. Wu Meiniang felt inexplicably peaceful.
Just then, she heard Li Zhi lying on the rocking chair sigh, and asked in surprise: "Kyuro, what's wrong?"
"I was just a moment of emotion. Look, this rocking chair was made by Ami, the ice was made and presented by him. I heard that this wine was made by him himself, and the whale oil lamp used here, and this thing..."
As he said that, he reached out to pick up a toothbrush from the table.
This is just presented by the palace servants today as rare things. It is said to be made by Su Dawei.
Compared to the first toothbrush, Li Zhi's hand is undoubtedly much more refined now.
It is made of fine polishing with animal bones, and its shape is very similar to that of later toothbrushes. The hair on the brush head is made of animal bristles.
After Li Zhi tried it, he felt it was very novel and he was quite fond of it.
He has decided that in the future, he will use this object to clean his teeth. Compared with the green salt brushing, this toothbrush is simply a magical object.
A small thing, solves big problems.
Just like the rocking chair he is sitting on now, Li Zhi can no longer live without it after using it.
Before this, he never thought that he could make some changes to his feet by using Hu Teng from childhood to adulthood.
Wu Meiniang was confused for a moment and smiled and said, "Ami made these things for convenience. He was very smart."
“It’s really smart.”
Li Zhi nodded, his eyes moved slightly: "Since he was a bad person, he just counted *, from you and me, from the Duke of E, Duke of Danyang County, from the County Jun, the Public Transport Bureau, and Hu Shang, all of which can be connected to the joints."
"Kyuro, what do you mean?"
Wu Meiniang's expression changed slightly.
"My grandma, don't worry, Ami is your younger brother, so I'm just like my relatives, and I'm malicious to him."
Li Zhi smiled at her and said, "I just can't help but be surprised. There are so many discoveries in a person. With such strong connections, he is still the most light now. If he polishes it a little, he will definitely become my loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty in the future."
When Wu Meiniang heard Li Zhi say this, she felt relieved and thought for a while and said, "Jiulang, can you blame Ami for the last incident?"
The last incident refers to the Turkic Wolf Guard.
This is a tacit secret between Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, and only a very few people know it.
Su Dawei obviously didn't know the inside story.
But last time he joined forces with ***, he almost broke Li Zhi's plan.
"How could it be? He is your brother. He is smart and capable enough. I'm not happy yet."
Li Zhi waved his hand: "It is really unexpected to be able to do this without knowing it. Fortunately, Li Chunfeng responded in time and acted randomly, so that I could see the overall situation clearly."
Wu Meiniang nodded.
Last time, there were Li Chunfeng and a group of strangers in the Taishi Bureau in the palace.
There is the Beidou Department of the Taishi Bureau in the Daming Palace.
Just wait for all the people hiding in the dark to jump out.
However, because Su Dawei had too strong ability to act, he failed to do everything in the end.
Of course, the result is not too bad. At least Li Zhi saw clearly some of the people in the court.
At the same time, because of the last incident, I could not help but secretly amazed at the heart of seeing the connections and power that Su Dawei could use.
"Mei Niang, I have an idea."
"What's the idea?"
"This time Su Dingfang uses troops, let him bring Ami with him too."
"this......"
"I know you can't bear to leave it, but God will give you a great task, so he will first suffer his will.
Ami had already made enough money in Chang'an before. At this time, he was allowed to go out for a while to avoid the limelight; and secondly, he could make more polish in the army. Finally, Su Dingfang also needed someone like Ami to help him integrate the news of the scouts in the army and eliminate hidden dangers."
Li Zhi said it a little obscurely, but Wu Meiniang understood it.
Before, Su Dingfang used troops to Goguryeo. Although the war report said it was a "great victory", Su Dingfang also rewarded him.
But in fact, the results are not great.
The main problem is that Goguryeo knew about Su Dingfang's advance and prepared for a long-term confrontation in advance.
Li Zhi also blamed Su Dingfang.
Whether he or Su Dingfang were extremely angry about the leak of the news of Goguryeo this time, he was full of anger.
"The enemy of the Tang Dynasty is not outside, but in the heart..."
"Su Dingfang must use troops and win a big victory. With this contribution, I can establish enough prestige and have the confidence to do something..."
Li Zhi lowered his voice and said slowly.
"So, this time, we only allow success, not **. Since Ami has the ability, let him help me.
I have mentioned Su Dingfang before that he should be summoning Ami to accompany the army, but you..."
Wu Meiniang's face changed. She said nothing, lowered her head and patted Li Xian gently, coaxing the child to fall asleep.
From her face, Li Zhi could see that he was unhappy.
"Since you have decided, what to do now?"
"Mei Niang, I..."
"You are the emperor. Just do what you decide and ask me what a woman does."
"Hey, Mei Niang, I respect you, you and my husband are one."
Li Zhi stood up, hugged Wu Meiniang, and coaxed her in a low voice.
The night is quiet again, and the breeze is coming, urging people to sleep.
In May of the Yonghui River, Su Dingfang followed Cheng Zhijie, the chief general of the Congshan Road marching, to fight against the Western Turks, and was appointed as the chief general of the former army.
And in such a large army, there is an extra bad person, which no one has noticed.
The army camp stretched for several miles.
On the way, we set out from Chang'an, passed through Hetao and Lin, then Yanran Protectorate, and then crossed Altai Mountain. The march was extremely difficult.
As for the Hexi Corridor in later generations, it was still a desert at this time.
In the central army tent, the commander in the middle was quite ignoring his image, throwing his helmet aside, holding a roasted rabbit in both hands, and feasting on a large piece, chewing it while praising: "Ami, your barbecue skills are really good, it is much better than yours."
The one who speaks is the devil king Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Zhijie who are often mentioned in the Romance of the Romance.
Although he and Su Dawei met for the first time in the army, his son Cheng Chusi was very close to Su Dawei and participated in Su Dawei's business. At first sight, he enthusiastically hugged Su Dawei and slapped Su Dawei's shoulder hard, praising him for having little wealth and making money, and was a good man.
Almost slapped Su Dawei and squatted down.
God knows where this demon king of the world has such great strength, so Su Dawei once suspected that he wanted to give himself a warning.
Next, Cheng Zhijie, an old man with shamelessness, actually invited Su Dawei to act.
That is, wrestling in the army is a play.
It is said that the military exchanges emotions in this way. If Su Dawei wants everyone to recognize him, he must play a few games.
Su Dawei naturally did not dare to use his extraordinary skills, and it was even more impossible to hurt the commander of the Tang army in the military camp. In the end, he was forced to do so. Cheng Zhijie took a loophole and lifted his belt and threw it out of the circle.
This rude man knew that Su Dawei was giving in, but he was shameless and bragging, which made Su Dawei curse several times in his heart.
I found out afterwards that Cheng Zhijie actually played a trick, and bets off-field and won by himself.
Not only did he win face, but he also won some five-zhu coins.
Although not many, when Cheng Zhijie smiled so hard that he was not ashamed, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of taking advantage.
This made Su Dawei feel a little depressed.
I always feel that it is too unreliable for Li Zhi to let Cheng Zhijie be the commander of the Western Turkic campaign?
But there is something wrong. After a role show yesterday, Su Dawei ran to the coach's tent openly.
Other generals of all sizes in the army vaguely guessed that Su Dawei and the commander Cheng Zhijie had an old age, so no one went to dispel the old devil Cheng.
Otherwise, this old guy could really slap people in the face.
In terms of shamelessness, no one in the Tang army can stand on the right side of Cheng Zhijie.
In this army, except for Cheng Zhijie, the highest military rank was Su Dingfang. He is now the General of the Right Guard and the Duke of Linqing County. He is the leader of the Western Expedition Army and is currently sitting in Cheng Zhijie's left-hand seat.
Sitting on Cheng Zhijie's right hand was the deputy general manager of the army.
Su Dawei has never heard of this person, and he doesn't know the roots of it. He only heard that it was a general who was ordered by Li Zhi himself.
That's probably Li Zhi's person?
In addition to Su Dingfang and **Du, there were also generals of all sizes in the army, who sat in the tent according to their positions in turn.
As for Su Dawei, he was quite miserable and busy organizing barbecue in the big tent.
While busy, Cheng Yaojin laughed wildly, shamelessly boasting that he could do his best to his talents and use everything.
Damn, you are the thing.
Su Dawei couldn't help but complain in his heart.
