The continuous spring rain finally stopped, and it was naturally impossible for Liu Xie, who was thousands of miles away, to know what was happening in Hetao, but as Han Sui speculated, after Liu Xie gradually stabilized in Guanzhong, he had already begun to make arrangements for the annexation of Xiliang, and it was not in a hurry to recruit Ma Teng into the DPRK for the time being, and the important thing was the collection of intelligence.
What kind of discord between Ma Chao and Han Sui is, the personalities of several main characters in Xiliang, and whether some powerful Qiang heroes are really attached to Ma Teng and Han Sui.
All aspects of intelligence need to be analyzed, and then we can really draw up a strategy, Guo Jia gave only a general direction, how to operate, and whether Xiliang can be successfully taken into the hands in the end, the details are more critical, which takes time to deploy.
The imperial court is still in a state of food shortage, especially after sending Xu Huang's troops and horses, the entire imperial court is tightening its belts to survive, at least before the autumn harvest, this state cannot be alleviated But no matter how tight it is, it is impossible to really starve the emperor, but then Liu Xie's big wedding can only be Jane, the news has spread to the territories of the princes of all parties, Liu Xie does not know how much bride price he can receive for this wedding, but with the current year and the princes gradually began to be on guard against the imperial court, it is estimated that it is impossible to pry a large amount of money and grain from the princes.
No matter how simple she is, she is also the emperor's concubine, and the palace has begun to prepare, Tang Ji is the imperial sister-in-law, and she personally handled Zhang Luo.
In fact, Tang Ji is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, when he married into the royal family, he also walked all the way ignorantly, at this time, there are still special personnel doing these things, Tang Ji is at most a hand, commanding the palace people to listen to the arrangements, but he is still quite motivated to go to Zhang Luo these things.
After all, in this deep palace, Tang Ji's status is a little transcendent, and there is no activity on weekdays, even if she likes to be quiet, after a long time, she will still be quiet and active.
"Your Majesty seems to like black, but on the day of the big day, black is always a little bad, this palace looks, it is better to use red, let people go to the Lu family later, ask the meaning of the Lu family, after all, it is Your Majesty's first concubine, don't be wronged."
Tang Ji took her maid Xin'er to stop and go all the way, explaining some trivial things.
Above the eaves, there are occasional raindrops dripping down, and the weather has cleared, but the humidity is still quite heavy, and it is difficult to dissipate for a while.
When she passed by the wall of Chengming Palace, she heard the sound of brushing from the courtyard, and she knew that it was Liu Xie practicing swords.
Turning a corner, he entered the courtyard of Chengming Hall from the main gate, and saw that in the middle of the courtyard, Liu Xie was wearing a short fight, boringly repeating the action of drawing a sword and stabbing him, his forehead was already covered with sweat, but he did not have any intention of stopping.
Since the arrival of Wang Yue and Tong Yuan, Liu Xie has practiced tiger boxing every day to keep up his strength, and has two more trainings, in the morning for sword swinging practice, I heard that he has to repeat the sword stabbing 500 times, and in the afternoon it is spearmanship, which is also boring training with stabbing strikes.
When the guards at the door saw the comer, they hurriedly wanted to salute, but were stopped by Tang Ji waving his hand.
"This majesty is practicing swords, and I'm afraid it's not easy to pass it on at the moment."
The guard said to Tang Ji with a wry smile.
Even if it is Tang Ji, he can enter and leave most places in the palace at will, but here, no one can come in without Liu Xie's permission.
"It's okay, I'll wait a while."
Tang Ji smiled and shook her head, she knew that although this imperial brother was still young, he valued the rules the most, and no one was allowed to exceed them, because of this matter, she also severely punished two guards who broke the rules.
In Tang Ji's opinion, this is very good, there should be rules in the palace, she is from a big family, and she has gone through ups and downs, so she naturally knows the importance of rules.
This is half an hour's time, the more later, the slower Liu Xie's sword swinging action becomes, even if Tang Ji doesn't know how to fight, it can be seen that Liu Xie is trying to maintain his posture with every blow, and when the last sword is swung, the hilt that has been stained with sweat slides directly out of Liu Xie's hand, looking at Liu Xie's almost out of force, Tang Ji feels a little distressed for no reason.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Tang asks to see you."
After Liu Xie was helped by Wei Zhong to sit down on the recliner, the guard came to Liu Xie's side and said softly.
"Please."
Liu Xie took a breath, and his right hand seemed to have lost sensation.
Tang Ji came over, Liu Xie wanted to get up, but was pressed by Tang Ji.
"The concubine doesn't understand, Your Majesty is a golden body, if you don't read the book of the trapped body, how can you prefer this martial artist's affairs" Tang Ji looked at the scab on Liu Xie's left hand and said a little unbearably.
"Taoism says that people have three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit, all of which are indispensable."
Liu Xie took the salt water handed over by Wei Zhong, shook his head with a smile and said: "This martial arts practice can not only sharpen the body, but also sharpen the will, I don't want to be invincible on the battlefield like the generals Wen Hou, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, but it is necessary to use martial arts to sharpen my will." ” "Your Majesty always has many great truths that are irrefutable."
Tang Ji shook his head.
"The imperial sister-in-law came today, but what's the matter" Liu Xie asked Yuxiu to help him massage his shoulder, squinted his eyes comfortably, and looked at Tang Ji for a long time.
"The entire Chang'an City is busy with His Majesty's marriage, and only His Majesty himself is so idle."
Tang Ji shook his head and glared at him with some disgust.
"I have already said that now that the treasury is empty, it is not appropriate to have too many expenses, and everything is simple in marriage."
Liu Xie frowned and said.
"This matter is a big deal for the royal family" Tang Ji said solemnly: "It is the system of a country, and when the time comes, there will even be envoys from Fanbang to watch the ceremony, how can it be so underestimated" "Fanbang envoy" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, and looked at Tang Ji puzzled: "I don't remember inviting Fanbang envoys, but which small state" In Liu Xie's memory, it seems that the surroundings of the Han Dynasty, that is, some small countries that are not in the climate, if it is just these, let alone the emperor's wedding, the wedding of some wealthy families, it is enough for them to increase their knowledge.
"It's not a small state, it's the big countries of the Western Regions, Dawan and Wusun, the envoys of the Xianbei in the west, and the envoys of the Kushan Empire."
Tang Ji shook his head and said solemnly.
"Guishuang" Liu Xie suddenly got up, frowned, and said: "Guishuang is thousands of miles away from here, and the two countries have completely cut off contact since a hundred years ago, why did they suddenly send people over?"
This reason is not for him to be cautious, Guishan is one of the four major countries in the entire Eurasian continent today, and the Han is also a strip of water, but in the past hundred years, there has been very little contact with the Han, and only some merchants can occasionally see it here, this time the envoy was specially sent, this is already considered real diplomacy.
"I don't know the specifics, it seems that I heard that His Majesty intends to reopen the Silk Road, but the Guishan envoy has now lived in the post house."
Shaking his head, Tang Ji said.
"Why didn't anyone inform me," Liu Xie frowned.
"It's probably not a big deal."
Tang Ji said uncertainly, if someone hadn't told her this time, her understanding of Guishan would have been limited to the story of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

"Wei Zhong," Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
"The slave is here."
Wei Zhong walked up and bowed.
"Go to the post house and receive the Kushan envoy with the highest courtesy."
Liu Xie said solemnly, not to stammer, but to be afraid of embarrassment, not to talk about how weak Guishan was before the founding of the country, but people are now the four empires alongside the Han Dynasty, and etiquette must be paid attention to, otherwise it is not humiliating others, but slapping himself in the face, just seeing that Ding Chong did not make it clear to himself, Liu Xie can probably guess that he must not really pay attention to it.
"Huh" Wei Zhong saw that Liu Xie's face was serious, and he hurriedly agreed.
"Besides, who is in charge of my marriage," Liu Xie asked.
"Taifu Yang Biao, as well as Sima Fang, Ding Chong and several other ministers."
Tang Ji thought for a moment.
"Recruit Master Pu and all the craftsmen in the city, and besides," he thought for a moment, "Masons and carpenters, who build houses, have also brought me some." ” Seeing that Liu Xie had no other instructions, Wei Zhong hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Your Majesty is" Tang Ji looked at Liu Xie in some surprise, and frowned: "If you want to build a palace because of a wedding, it will be a bit too much." ” "It's not about building, it's just about making some changes on the basis of the original."
Liu Xiedao.
"Didn't Your Majesty say that everything is simple" Tang Ji looked at Liu Xie a little speechlessly.
"Being simple doesn't mean that you can't be extravagant, the same food, made by the master, is called delicacies, and the peasant women make it, which is called coarse tea and light rice."
Liu Xie shook his head: "I want to organize this wedding myself." ” "That Guishuang is very strong," Tang Ji keenly noticed a hint of difference, and asked tentatively.
"Now for my big man, no matter how strong it is, it's useless, but if I want to reopen the Silk Road, it's very important to have a good relationship with Guishan."
Liu Xie said with a smile: "Guishan's national strength is no less than that of my Han Dynasty, and now although the world is divided, it can't weaken its momentum." ” If you are frugal internally, you will be praised, but if you are frugal on top of diplomatic relations, it will be a bit embarrassing, not to mention that Liu Xie is now a demander.
"Later, I will send someone to inform Zhen Yao, Su Idiot and Zhang Shiping to come to see me, I have something to tell them."
Shaking his still sore shoulders, Liu Xie said to Yuxiu beside him.
"The slave obeys."
Yuxiu hurriedly bowed and said.
"The little girl of the Zhen family has also seen it in this palace, she is very cute, and she is the same age as His Majesty, I heard in this palace, in the early years, there were people who said that this woman was quite rich, it is not as good" Tang Ji smiled and looked at Liu Xie, as a royal person, he naturally hoped that the royal family could spread out.
"Royal marriage is not a child's play, be cautious" Liu Xie shook his head, whether to accept Zhen Mi as a concubine, he has not decided for the time being, the potential that the Zhen family is showing now is not worthy, there are too many alternative options, of course, if Zhen Mi is really as moving as the legend in the future, he may not be able to hold it, but that is a later story, for now, it is better to complete this wedding. t1706231537:
