Siqi City.

When Liu Boying rode a horse into the ancient Baekje capital, his eyes swept across the surroundings one by one, and he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that I would still be able to ride a horse into Siqi in my lifetime."

"The general has been to Siqi before?"

Liu Renyuan rode on the horse and asked Liu Boying.

Liu Boying is the General of Zuo Xiaogu.

According to position, he was Liu Renyuan's superior.

But now Liu Renyuan has added the title of Deputy Chief of the Yidao March.

The position of marching chief manager is usually temporarily appointed when the Tang army has a war mission and will be cancelled after the war.

"In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered me to go to Baekje to envoy, hoping to fight Goguryeo with Baekje."

"Oh, there's something going on."

Liu Renyuan, Su Dawei, Xue Shaoyi, Lou Shide and other generals were very surprised when they heard this.

This is the first time I heard about this.

"It was a secret mission at that time, so not many people knew about it, but it has been so long since the matter has been going on, so it's okay to talk about it now."

Liu Boying pointed to the buildings lined up next to the street with a horse whip and said, "I thought this place was quite similar to our Tang Dynasty for the first time. Later, when I asked, people at that time called it Xiao Zhonghua."

"Did Baekje agree?"

"Of course not."

Liu Boying narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.

The gray beard raised up and looked a little angry.

"This group of Baekje people are so proud that although they are nominally surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, they actually have other plans. Even the generals were ordered to lead their horses into the city.

At that time, I had to endure the mission.

I never thought that Feng Shui would change.

Is it still going to ride a horse in?"

As he said that, he stroked the white beard on his chest and laughed a few times.

There is a sense of pleasure in the laughter.

A moment later, the group came to the temporary headquarters next to the royal palace in Siqi City.

Liu Boying immediately held a whip in his hand and pointed to the palace and said, "This palace is magnificent and is not only a little smaller than the Chang'an Tai Chi Hall, but also has a more luxurious decoration.

These Baekje royals do not need to improve the lives of the people when they receive taxes, but only care about their own enjoyment. It would be strange if such a country does not perish."

"General, first rest in the government office. After a while, the Xiongjin Governor's Office will hold a banquet for the generals, and the generals will accompany you and drink together."

Liu Renyuan walked aside.

His attitude was upright, neither seemed too enthusiastic nor did he feel rude.

"No hurry, I have something to tell you and Su Dawei."

Liu Boying's eyes swept across Liu Renyuan and Su Dawei.

Su Dawei's brows moved slightly.

Liu Renyuan was stunned for a moment, looked around and waved his hand, "It's all gone, let's go and get on your own. I'll notify you if you have any questions."

The gathered generals and the civil and military officials of the Xiongjin Governor's Office dispersed them in a few seconds, and led Liu Boying and his personal soldiers to the temporary party of the Governor's Office.

When we arrived here, the personal soldiers of both sides were ordered to guard outside the door and no one was allowed to come in.

Liu Boying and Liu Renyuan and Su Dawei were alone inside.

It is obvious that the imperial edict brought by Liu Boying is just a "clear edict".

He had already hinted just now that Li Zhi should have other intentions, which were secret orders.

The three of them sat down in the empty palace, with the window half open.

The bitter cold wind blew in from outside the window, making the coldness bone-bone.

The charcoal fire in the brazier inside the house has been extinguished.

Liu Renyuan was about to ask someone to change it, but Liu Boying stopped him: "You and I have never eaten any kind of bitterness, what is Xu Han?

Let’s talk about official duties first, and there’s no hurry to do anything else.”

"Does Your Majesty have other decrees?"

"General Lang, General, is it a bit inappropriate for me to be here?"

Su Dawei didn't say much, and at this moment he couldn't help but speak: "My grade seems not enough to participate..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Boying's eyes were like lightning, and he shot on Su Dawei: "How can a person like you, who is simple in the heart of the emperor, belittle himself?"

Simplified in the Emperor's Heart?

I understand.

It seems that Li Zhi has given special explanation.

After all, I am Wu Meiniang's younger brother and I am half of my wife's family.

Moreover, in the past two years, Li Zhi has used Su Dawei and his Ducha Temple very easily.

The intelligence network reorganized on the peninsula this time has made an indelible contribution to Su Dingfang's pacification of Baekje for half a month.

I believe that when Su Dingfang returns, he will also mention this matter in Li Zhi's ears.

Su Dawei guessed it well.

Let’s go back a little, the eastern capital Luoyang.

Since visiting the Eastern Capital in March, Li Zhi has not returned to Chang'an.

Su Dawei and others who were in Baekje didn't know about this.

There are several reasons in Luoyang.

First of all, Chang'an, as the ancient capital of several dynasties since the Qin Dynasty, has gradually become poor and weak, and has not been rich. The grand occasion of the fertile land of the Tianfu country that year was a grand occasion.

To feed the population of the imperial capital, it consumed too much ground power.

Secondly, Chang'an has all the forces in a mixed manner. Li Zhi is an emperor who wants to do something and intends to start a new business in Luoyang.

The most important thing is that Luoyang is the center of the world and is closer to the heart position in the territory of the empire than Chang'an.

Moreover, he entrusted Emperor Yang of Sui to clear the Grand Canal and transfer food to the extreme.

In Luoyang, the transportation is well-connected and the world is controlled remotely.

Finally, there is another selfish thing. Li Zhi felt that his body was much lighter in Zhiyang, Dongdu.

In Chang'an, I don't know if it was because the Tai Chi Palace was too low and the humidity was too heavy or what happened, but his head wind and gout were getting worse and worse.

When it is severe, the foot pain is difficult, so people have to carry him up and down with a sedan chair.

But in Luoyang, the pain seems to be relieved a lot because of the dry climate.

If there are any flaws in Luoyang, it is that compared with Chang'an, Luoyang has almost no danger to defend.

However, with the strength of the Tang Empire and the abundant martial virtues, no enemy could enter the empire and go deep into the capital.

Unless, this enemy comes from within.

In short, after Li Zhi visited the eastern capital Luoyang, he stayed safely.

Even if the ministers had some ideas, they would not dare to confront each other in person now.

His good mood reached the peak after receiving Su Dingfang's approaching Luoyang and offering prisoners to the Baekje royal family.

At the happiest moment, with an expedited memorial from Baekje, it was all ruined after it was handed over to him.

The memorial was written by Liu Renyuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei in Baekje.

Through the sea route, we reach Laizhou, and then transport it through the canal, and we arrive at the hands of the Emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Zhi, as quickly as possible.

When Li Zhi saw the clearly written "Wang Wendu died suddenly" on it, he couldn't believe his eyes.

After experiencing the initial emotional out of control, he smashed several jade bowls in a row and the four treasures of the study that were worthless in the study, even Li Zhi's favorite wolf-haired pen was thrown on the ground and smashed into two pieces.

Under Wu Meiniang's comfort, he finally returned to his peace.

In recent years, with the increasing power and the deepening of physical illness, Li Zhi could feel that his temper had become much bigger.

But he didn't want to change, it was fine.

As long as you don’t get angry for no reason and have a temper, you must have it.

If an emperor is gentle, he will not gain the respect of his subordinates.

After urgently summoning several of the most trusted officials to discuss in the study, he was unable to make up his mind for the time being.
