This was Du Shiyi's third year in Shuofang. But in fact, he only spent two years in Shuofang, just because when he first took office, it was just the turn of the New Year. Since Shuofang was the northern barrier of Chang'an, most of the Jiedu governors were famous generals among the famous generals, among which Wang Jun and Li Wei, who were the ones guarded for the longest time were Wang Jun and Li Wei. Wang Jun once served as the third rank of the Secretariat, Li Wei also served as the Minister of Rites and the founding of the Ministry of Rites. Compared with these predecessors, Du Shiyi naturally knew that he was far from enough. Whether it was the Jiedu Longyou or the Jiedu Shuofang, he was benefiting from the changes in the times.

And now, another era of turmoil is coming.

"Concubine Hui is dead. Your Majesty posthumously named Empress Zhenshun."

Du Shiyi bounced the letter from Chang'an in his hand and told several of his confidants in the Lingwu Hall directly about the news. Everyone's reaction to the death of Concubine Wu Hui was relatively calm, but when he heard the pursuit of the queen, the oldest and most steadfast, Lai Shengyan couldn't help but bounce it up.

"It was too outrageous for the Wu family to dominate the harem. Now he died and was posthumously named the queen. Your Majesty is too energetic. When the Wushu was in chaos, what was the world going on? Now that he has posthumously named Concubine Hui as the queen, wouldn't it mean that King Shou became the legitimate son and entering the Eastern Palace is the most legitimate?" After speaking in one breath, Lai Shengyan realized that he was too impatient today. He knew very well why he was so out of control, because the root cause was that Li Wei left Shuofang sadly because Wu Huifei's cousin Wu Wen had that letter.

Seeing Lai Shengyan sitting down in a low mood, Du Shiyi couldn't help but secretly discuss such a major event in the court. He put Ye Tianguo and Lai Dang outside to guard. Otherwise, with Ye Tianguo's sensitivity, he would probably remember the wrong thing that his father Ye Wenjun did back then. He glanced at Zhang Xing, Wang Changling, Wu Bo, and Lai Zhen, who were also dissatisfied with his face, and then said lightly: "Who is the East Palace? Since we are guarding Shuofang, we don't have to get involved. I just know you. What's more important now is that the leader of the Uighur Guli Peilu sent a letter, willing to send envoys to Chang'an with Gelulu and Basilimi.

Whether it is the Uighurs or the Gelulu Basimi, they are all tribes under the Turks. Now the Turkic Khan is under the control of the right killing of Yilechuo, and the Denli Khan has to rely on external forces to fight. Therefore, the Uighurs, Gelulu, and Basimi, the three chiefs naturally have a greater momentum than before. In addition, they are also in the hereditary military positions of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, the leader of the Uighurs, Guli Peiluo, inherited the commander of Hanhai. His father was Chengzong. At that time, Wang Junrong, the governor of Longyou, Hexi, falsely accused Chengzong and other leaders of the four Uighur tribes who lived in Hexi for personal grievances, and caused him to be exiled. Chengzong's nephew protected the defeat, held a grudge and set up an ambush to kill Wang Junrong, allowing Tubo to take this opportunity to conquer the city and conquer the land. The chaos in Longyou, Hexi was in chaos, which led to Xiao Song and Li Wei and others' emergence.

It is precisely because of this that the four tribes of the Uighurs moved from Hexi to the vassal Turks. Under the leadership of the new leader Guli Peiluo, they rushed back to their former territory. The land and pastures they now occupy are even better than those of the past. He had a good relationship with Gelulu and Basimi, the chief of the two tribes who belonged to the Turks, took advantage of the civil turmoil of the Turks, but he did not forget to hold on to the thickest thigh of the Tang Dynasty.

"Why are you saying tribute? Isn't it just to go to Chang'an to ask for some rewards?" Wu Bo has always looked down on Guli Pei Luo, and he even sneered at this time, "When you see there is a benefit, you will not hesitate to surrender. When you see that there is a bad treatment, you will go to the Turks again. This is a matter of tossing back and forth, and it is enough to prove that if you have milk, you are a mother.

A civil servant suddenly said such a saying, and everyone was amused. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Even if these foreigners have milk, they can't really ignore it. Otherwise, even the court would say that we would close the door of tribute without authorization. Your Majesty now likes the most in the world. Isn't the Uighurs the City of Ma Yuxi? The general just chooses someone to meet them."

"Then go to Qijun." Seeing Wang Changling laughing at him, the others nodded, as if they were afraid that such an errand would be spread out. Zhang Xing pointed to his nose, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny, "It turns out that it was because I went to Tubo as an envoy, and this kind of thing fell on me."

Lai Zhen immediately flattered and said, "It is because those who are capable work hard, but judge Zhang has worked hard."

Du Shiyi immediately smiled: "Then it's decided that X-Trail has worked hard. Xishoujiang City is now guarded by Ziyi, and it is convenient for you to get along."

After everyone left together, Zhang Xing stayed. Others knew that he was going to listen to Du Shiyi's face-to-face advice. Sure enough, after coming to Du Shiyi's main position, Zhang Xing asked: "Pu Gu Huai'en's trip is said to be some rumors among the Huhus in Xiazhou. Now he is eager to seek talent and is willing to serve and rely on him. He is waiting for a high-ranking official. This time, the Uighur Guli Peiluo and the three tribes requested to congratulate Qianqiu. Is it related?"

"The Uighur tribes were exposed to the decline of the power of the Khan of the Turks, and then the momentum was so great. When Via Khan and Queteqin were alive, it was not their turn to Dingli Khan, because they were too weak and refused to believe in the Uighur Garlubasimi, so they released news that they could attract Zhuhu to vote. I think it was clear that if hundreds or thousands of people voted, he could easily digest it. When his own strength grew, he would not have to look at people's faces. So, when you go to Xishoujiang City and meet Guli Peilu's envoy, you might as well be tough."

After discussing the purpose of this trip and many words, Du Shiyi said carefully: "In the past, I was in Yunzhou, and I had an old subordinate. He was an abandoned child. Later, he found out that he was from a foreign race. After many years of officialdom, he returned to his old land. Now he has a Dubo old land and has sent people to the west to receive surrendered city horses. If they ask to see you, you might as well listen to what they said. After all, there are thousands of miles from Lingzhou to the Turkic tent, which is not far away from the Turkic tent or the Uighurs' Baximi."

Du Shiyi even said such a message, Wang Han and Wang Lingran, who had shared worries with him in Yunzhou. Now he told Zhang Xing that he naturally knew that he was taking risks. However, under the current situation, he needed to gradually build a team that was more reliable and considerate than the shogunate, and it was also tempting to reveal that this point.

After his initial surprise, Zhang Xing immediately came to his senses and agreed cautiously: "Don't worry, handsome man, I will take the measure."

On the Shangyuan Festival last year, Du Shiyi took Cao Xiangdong and Chen Yong, and Xie Zhi was killed by Cao Xiangdong. After a year, Li Jian personally served as the chief general in the Shuofang Zhengwei Army, while Xu Chong, who was transferred from the west to the surrender city, took over as deputy general, Pugu Huai'en led the position of military commander. In addition, Du Shiyi promoted a general from the Zhengwei Army to take over as deputy general. For a while, the military minister was at peace and military discipline was still intact. In addition to Li Guangbi, the former imperial guard officers who arrived one after another were also disbanded by Du Shiyi and assigned to the southern army of Shuofang, including the Jingwei Army, Feng'an Army and Dingyuan City.

Only Li Guangbi was assigned to the three surrender cities on the northern line.

As for the group of people sent back to Chang'an Imperial Guards from Shuofang, he was a select officer who was good at elegance and knew how to adapt. Because this was also a smooth road to promotion, there were many people who were happy and few people complained. Because the entire Hequ was not only a large area of ​​sand, but also a lot of fertile land, Du Shiyi agreed with the merchants in the Three Sushoujiang City to bring people to cultivate and cultivate. In this way, the originally empty Shuofang Hequ hinterland naturally seemed lively and busy.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival of this year, the lanterns and decorations in Lingwu City, Lingzhou, Shuofang were even more prosperous than in previous years. Because this was a rare three days of curfew throughout the year, and there were rumors of the Huhu riots in Youzhou last year. This time, in order to celebrate the annual festival, Du Shiyi also called on merchants to build lantern buildings for the people to revel in all his money. As for various fire-extinguishing equipment, he was even more neatly prepared. The soldiers in the Jiedu Mansion were on standby at any time to suppress possible riots and cut off sluts.

When the three days of Shangyuan Festival ended, the people were still not satisfied, and the civil and military officials from the Governor's Office of Lingzhou also took turns to rest and restore their strength, but the shogunate was exhausted. This was because of the Chang'an imperial edict. Although the military system of the government collapsed and the recruitment system was already popular in various border towns, it was not until the first month of this year that Li Longji issued a book to form a system to completely form this matter. In other words, recruiting soldiers to the border towns to give land and houses, and exempting family taxes and service have become a system. In the past, it has become a thing of the past. However, some garrison soldiers in Lingzhou, who were in charge of the government, had not returned to their hometowns and needed to sort out books and ask for their intentions. Just this matter, Shengyan and others were busy until the end of the month.

Zhang Xing went to the west surrender city to prepare to meet with Guli Peiluo's envoy.

At this time, an unexpected person suddenly visited Lingwu Hall. When Wu Tianqi almost shouted the word "assin" in his throat, the other party calmly took off the black scarf of Baotou. It was gray-haired and had a haggard face, but his eyes were bright. Almost the moment he recognized the other party, Du Shiyi stood up suddenly.

"Mr. Gongye"

"After more than ten years of separation, Du Dashui has a great reputation in guarding the area, and it has been a long time since he has been away." Seeing Du Shiyi hurriedly shut Wu Tianqi back, Gong Yejue bowed his hand solemnly, "I came today because when I was traveling around Mobei, I unexpectedly met my old friend's master and apprentice, so I went there at once. No matter what, thank you for your trouble for the two masters and apprentices. If it were any official of the court, I would not do this for just two women who are good at sword dance."

Du Shiyi knew that Gong Yejue was referring to Gongsun Auntie and Yue Wuniang's master and apprentice. Although he was righteous in this matter, he was not selfish, so he just smiled. Just when he was about to be humble, Gong Yejue suddenly spoke up.
