Chapter 314 The Queen of the Imperial Palace

In the government office of Chengdu.

Listening to those few words, Zhang Fei actually sighed.

"Yide is worried?" Liu Bei was slightly surprised.

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and nodded:

"I just suddenly thought of the Qiang people."

Although Zhang Fei only pointed from a distance, Liu Bei suddenly understood.

Qiang people, or Qiang Hu.

There are countless Qiang Hu in Sanfu and Yongliang.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, in order to be able to restrain the Xiongnu, the Han and Qiang were on good terms as a whole.

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Xiongnu were in internal strife and killing each other, splitting into the north and south. The Xiongnu Nanting surrendered to the Han and followed the Han army to attack the Xiongnu.

The Northern Xiongnu had the Southern Xiongnu to check and balance, and with the power of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu was beaten and could not fight back.

In this case, the Qiang Hu gradually lost their role in the eyes of the officials in the court.

It was common to collect taxes from the Qiang Hu and abduct their wives and daughters.

The weak were taken as slaves, and the strong were in the hands of the rich and powerful. This is the norm.

In Kong Ming's words, Qiang and Hu are no longer considered individuals, at least it is difficult to be considered Han people.

Yide should feel these things deeply now.

The reason for paying attention to these is that he will move to Hanzhong with Kong Ming in two months.

After all, Yizhou has been settled. Next, it is necessary to manage Hanzhong and Yongliang to plan Guanzhong. If you want to do these things, Qiang and Hu must be contacted.

That is why Kong Ming recently spent time every day to sort out the situation in Yongliang for Liu Bei.

In Kong Ming's words, if Qiang and Hu are safe, Yongliang will be safe, and if Yongliang is safe, it will be enough to rule the world.

It is precisely because of the previous lesson of Yongliang Qiang and Hu, so when Yide said this, Liu Bei also nodded in understanding:

"This Baekje has become a burden to the Tang Dynasty."

To destroy the country, a hundred thousand troops are enough.

But if you want to forcefully control its land, a hundred thousand troops are not enough.

Liu Bei should also learn from this and must not repeat the same mistake.

[No one would take a looting in the distant Korean Peninsula seriously.

This was true for Su Dingfang, and even more so for Li Zhi.

Especially after presenting the captives to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Li Zhi announced:

The time is ripe, it is time to make Goguryeo disappear.

Su Dingfang returned to Luoyang with the captives in November, and in December Li Zhi could not wait to announce the new appointment:

Su Dingfang was the general manager of Liaodong Road, Qibi Heli was the general manager of Xijiang Road, Liu Boying was the general manager of Pyongyang Road, and Cheng Mingzhen was the general manager of Loufang Road. The four armies went out together and Goguryeo must be destroyed.

Another army was raised in front, and Li Yifu was busy again in the back, which also indicated that Liu Rengui was going to be unlucky again.

Since the Sui Dynasty conquered Korea, the grain route has always been by sea, that is, it was first transported to Shandong, and then transported to Liaodong via the Yellow Sea and Bohai.

After Liu Rengui was demoted, he was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou. It was his job to supervise the transportation of grain and grass to ensure logistics.

So Prime Minister Li Yifu almost couldn't wait to issue an order:

The military situation is urgent. Liu Rengui must immediately transport grain and grass to Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula!

Liu Rengui was dumbfounded when he saw the court's order, and argued:

Winter is the season of storms at sea. Do you want me to die if you set out now?

Liu Rengui's reply made sense, but it was useless because it was intercepted by Li Yifu.

And at the instruction of Li Yifu, the court's orders became more and more urgent and the tone became more and more severe.

In this situation, Liu Rengui had to arrange for the ship to go out to sea, but it was as Li Yifu expected:

The fleet encountered a storm, the ship capsized, the grain was lost, and many civilians died and disappeared.

With the help of Li Yifu, the case was quickly reported to Emperor Gaozong, so Li Zhi appointed the Supervisory Censor Yuan Yishi to investigate the case.

At this time, because of the fall of Zhangsun Wuji, Li Yifu was even more uncontrollable, and he spoke directly to Yuan Yishi:

"You can do things, don't worry about not having an official position."

After Yuan Yishi arrived in Shandong, he used all means to intimidate Liu Rengui to commit suicide to close the case.

But Liu Rengui said that we must abide by the law and we will judge according to the Tang law.

So in the end, the case was brought to Gaozong again. After a half-month debate between the two sides, Liu Rengui was finally demoted to a commoner and sent to Liaodong as a soldier.

It was also because of this that Liu Rengui suddenly realized on the Korean Peninsula: I actually have the talent of a general? 】

Liu Rengui had a blank expression on his face, which could be said to be neither happy nor sad.

After all, for him, everything he experienced now seemed like a dream, not very real.

As for being framed by the prime minister, driving the fleet out to sea, and being exiled to Liaodong...

Laughing at himself, Liu Rengui felt that this life was quite exciting, but...

"This voice also said that I have the talent of a general?"

"Also?" Li Shimin was curious, so he asked: "Who else can recognize Zhengze's talent?"

"The last person was your majesty." Liu Rengui said honestly.

So Li Shimin could only smile awkwardly. At that time, he thought that as the emperor, such a statement would definitely make the county magistrate return to his heart, but...

"Before your majesty, Duke Lu said that I have the appearance of a famous general."

Liu Rengui bowed his hands, completely ignoring that Hou Junji on the other side had almost buried his head in the floor.

Changsun Wuji laughed:

"Duke Lu actually has the ability to recognize people."

In fact, everyone knew what was going on, so they couldn't help laughing.

Du Ruhui had time to comfort Li Shimin:

"From Liu Zhengze's judgment, there are also loyal people in the court, and this kind of traitor cannot make decisions on his own."

"After all, if this traitor can make decisions on his own, he will be punished by death for losing food and grass."

After hearing what Du Ruhui said, Li Shimin felt better.

However, Li Shimin was still a little upset when he thought that it was the child slave who devoted all his efforts to raise such a thing.

"This generation of traitors almost ruined a good minister of Zhenguan!"

Hearing His Majesty the Emperor praise himself so seriously, Liu Rengui felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Du Ruhui calmly pointed out the loopholes in His Majesty's words:

"Everyone, during the Zhenguan period, Liu Zhengze was only in trouble after his official appointment."

The meaning is also very clear. He can only be an official of the fifth rank. Although all appointments and dismissals above the fifth rank require His Majesty's approval, it can be regarded as an impression in His Majesty's mind.

But when it comes to Zongyong and good ministers, the difference is still a bit far.

Li Shimin was speechless, but after thinking about it, he realized that no matter how he tried to defend himself, he might break Liu Rengui's heart, so he could only say bitterly:

"That's because I haven't put it to use yet."

However, I had a guess in my mind. If Wu Guang Mu had mentioned the point, Liu Ren would probably be displeased if he killed the captain with his rail stick.

It seems that you may indeed be careful...

Li Shimin quickly overturned this speculation and looked at Liu Ren's track:

"Zhengze has the air of a handsome gentleman, but his general appearance is quite hidden."

Liu Rengui was immediately fascinated.

On the other side, Li Shi smiled and patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder without any concern:

It's useless to give you a chance, brother.

[In the end, Liu Rengui was able to take off again because Su Dingfang blew up the flowers loudly and loudly into the pit of Baekje before leaving.

The Tang army got off to a very bad start by plundering Sixi City. When it destroyed Baekje, the Tang Dynasty recruited Silla as a servant army.

Seeing his master's behavior, Silla also followed suit and began retaliatory plundering of Baekje.

In the feudal era, it was important for a division to be famous. The reason why Li Zhi and Su Dingfang didn't care about Baekje Hun was because the Baekje royal family had been moved to Luoyang.

There is no royal family. If you say you want to resist, who will hold the banner?

At such a delicate opportunity, the Japanese nation chose to join the battlefield and gave the Baekje people the prince of Baekje, Fuyu Fengzhang, who had been a hostage in the Japanese nation.

At this time, the person in power of the Japanese country was Empress Huangji. As the second empress in the history of the Japanese country, Empress Huangji never lacked ambition.

This queen was even the first Japanese in the history of Japan to declare that she wanted to conquer China.

After Dahua's reform, Empress Huangji judged that the time had come for the Japanese and Tang Dynasties to compete for the Korean Peninsula. She not only had to strongly support Baekje's restoration, but also wanted to conquer it herself!

After Fuyu Fengzhang returned to Baekje, Heiji Changzhi, Onimuro Fuxin, Daochen and others who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty quickly regained their independence, welcomed the prince, and raised the banner of restoring the country.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula is changing rapidly.

Therefore, Liu Rengui, who had received the imperial edict and went to Baekje to serve as an army in vain, felt that the situation was becoming more and more confusing.

As soon as he arrived in Baekje, Liu Rengui received news that shocked him:

The whole territory of Baekje has revolted, and the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion established after the destruction of Baekje has ceased to exist in name only. Now the only thing the Tang army can control is Sixian City.

And in the same year, another bad news followed.

Perhaps affected by the aftermath of Changsun Wuji's death, Wang Wendu, the originally scheduled boss of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, died suddenly and mysteriously, leaving Baekje without a leader for a while.

In this embarrassing situation, Goguryeo in the north was still fighting with the Tang army in full swing. The grain and grass transportation line of the Ungjin Governor's Office was crucial to the war in the north.

So in this embarrassing situation, Li Zhi issued an edict to treat a dead horse as a living doctor:

Liu Rengui was reinstated as the governor of Fangzhou and appointed the acting governor of Xiongjin Dudufu. 】
