Chapter 310: Anxi Beiting Jiedu Ambassador, Jinglüe Ambassador, Where the Lights Dim

After the court session, Li Longji summoned Li Xuan to Hua'e Xianghui Tower.

This was the first time that Li Longji summoned Li Xuan to Xingqing Palace after Li Xuan was dismissed from his position as prime minister.

There was no such thing as reconciliation between Li Xuan and Li Longji.

Li Longji didn't know that there was a deep-seated conflict between him and Li Xuan that could not be healed.

It will never go back to the way it was before.

And from the "loyalty" shown by Li Xuan, Li Longji thought that Li Xuan could still expand the territory for him.

In fact, before Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong persuaded him, Li Longji had considered transferring Li Xuan to the Western Regions.

That commanding ability, which was as powerful as that of a general, not only ignited Li Longji's desire to regain the controlled states when the Arab enemy was approaching, but also aroused Li Longji's ambition.

A general's victory in battle is also the emperor's achievement.

"The Arabs are very powerful, and we don't know their exact deployment of troops. How many troops does Qilang need?"

On the second floor of the warm Hua'e Xianghui Tower, Li Longji asked Li Xuan.

"West of the Pamir Mountains, the more troops there are, the harder it is to move. Even though there are war horses, they are still inferior to infantry. However, the Tang Dynasty needs to deter the countries in the Western Regions, so it must station troops in the Western Regions permanently. Otherwise, the Western Regions will never be incorporated into China like Hexi did."

Li Xuan implicitly suggested that a large number of troops were indeed needed.

The countries in Transoxiana were controlled by the Arabs, so the Tang Dynasty had to establish strongholds there and mobilize manpower and material resources to widen the mountain roads, greatly reducing the travel time between the two sides.

Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty influence Hezhong, which is a long-term strategy for governing the Western Regions.

Just like Gao Xianzhi's conquest of the Shi Kingdom this time, after conquering it, he withdrew his troops back to Qiuci, and briefly intimidated Hezhong, but only surrendered verbally.

As soon as Gao Xianzhi left and the Arabs arrived, the countries in Central Asia immediately changed their flags.

It would take several months for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize its troops.

Widening the main roads was a huge project, sometimes involving high mountains and steep ravines, and requiring the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

And there must be Tang Dynasty castles and post stations along the way.

Therefore, a large number of prisoners are needed to open up the road, and this cannot be accomplished in one or two years.

"The money and food in the Western Regions are limited, and the Tang Dynasty cannot support too many soldiers. What do you think, Qilang?" Li Longji asked Li Xuan.

"I estimate that if Anxi is handed over to me, I can raise 50,000 elite soldiers. With 50,000 soldiers and horses, and if I am given the power to control Beiting, even if the Arabs have a million troops, I will not be afraid."

Li Xuan asked Li Longji.

The Tang Dynasty had only 14,000 households in the Western Regions, with a total of more than 70,000 Han people.

Even if other countries were to bear the military and political expenses of the Anxi Protectorate, they would not be able to support many troops.

It was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to transport large amounts of food and cloth to the Western Regions across the desert.

Therefore, the military, political and financial affairs of the Western Regions were basically separated from those of the Tang Dynasty.

Only every year the imperial court transferred some cloth as military pay and rewards.

He held the titles of Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate and Anxi Jinglüe Ambassador.

It is more useful than the envoys for investigation, support, farming, salt and iron, etc.

If we want to maintain troops in the Western Regions, it is of utmost priority.

Theoretically speaking, military settlements can only meet 70% of the needs of an army, and that's when there's no war.

Not to mention the Transoxiana region, there are dozens of small countries under the actual control of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether the finances of the Western Region are sufficient depends on whether these countries are stable.

"It's not easy to recruit soldiers in the Western Regions!"

Li Longji said to Li Xuan.

Basically, all the expeditions were led by a part of the Tang army and a part of the vassal army.

Even if they recruited soldiers, they would only recruit Hu people. A Tang army could have a considerable number of Hu people, but it could not be mostly Hu people.

"There is no war in Hexi and Longyou for the time being. Recruiting 30,000 cavalry will not have any impact on the country. Moreover, the Helong army is well-equipped and can fight a war!"

Li Xuan replied to Li Longji.

That was exactly his purpose.

Time is running out. It is definitely too late to immigrate to the Western Regions now.

Moreover, immigrating to the Western Regions is different from immigrating to Longyou. The man-eating Lop Nur Desert makes people despair. It cannot be carried out without a foolproof plan.

The Han people in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were basically military households who followed the army.

After taking root for a hundred years, there are now more than 10,000 households, which have become the support for the Anxi and Beiting soldiers.

"Which troops from Helong are Qilang planning to transfer?"

Li Longji stood up and walked to the map of Hua'e Xianghui Tower.

"20,000 cavalry from the Lintao Army in Longyou, and then another 10,000 cavalry from the Chishui Army." Li Xuan replied to Li Longji.

Tubo paid tribute of 10,000 war horses every year, ensuring that Longyou and Hexi had no shortage of cavalry.

There are also many troops in Baihai, Qinghai and Jiuqu.

The Tibetan children were not yet grown up and did not have the courage to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention Hexi, Moyanchuo's eyes were looking towards Xiaohai (now Lake Baikal), and he would definitely not break with the Tang Dynasty just because Hexi had 10,000 fewer cavalry.

It would be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty not to attack the Uighurs.

"The Lintao Army is the best army in the world. Isn't it inappropriate for them to go to the Western Regions?"

Li Longji also knew that the Lintao Army formed by Li Xuan was very powerful, with a reported 50,000 war horses that could travel 200 miles a day and carry out long-distance raids.

The Battle of Baitinghai was an operation centered on this cavalry.

Create an annihilation war in which the Tang Dynasty suffered the least loss and gained the greatest gain against the grassland.

"The best steel should be used on the blade. The Arabs are an unprecedented enemy of our Tang Dynasty. As long as we defeat the Arabs, Saint, you will become the common ruler of the world, and everything will be worth it."

Li Xuan flattered Li Longji.

After he entered the Western Regions, he would most likely resign as the Jiedushi of Hexi and Longyou.

He needed some strong Helong soldiers to ensure his influence in the Helong Army.

So that we can control the Helong Army in the future.

At the same time, more elite troops can calmly deal with conflicts in the Western Regions.

The Anxi Army under Gao Xianzhi's command must not be honest people, and Li Xuan needs power to intimidate them.

"I agree with Qilang's deployment. I will change the 20,000 cavalry of the Lintao Army into the Western Regions Military Administration Army, and change the 10,000 cavalry of the Chishui Army into the Great Wall Army. They will be incorporated into the Anxi Protectorate and follow Qilang into the Western Regions."

Li Longji felt very comfortable hearing this and agreed to Li Xuan's request to transfer troops to the Western Regions.

After he knew the power of the Arabs, he realized that he would have to mobilize the entire country to fight against them.

But far away in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty had great national strength but nowhere to use it.

Since Li Xuan dared to lead tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Arabs without wasting too much of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, Li Longji had no reason to disagree.

Just as Li Xuan said, there is no war in Helong. Instead of maintaining troops, it is better to send elite troops to the Western Regions to fight for him.

"I need a group of craftsmen, and some livestock from the pastures in Jiuqu, Qinghai, to bring more than a year's worth of food to feed the army and horses. From now on, I will manage the food and grass myself in the Western Regions, and the court only needs to transport the military pay."

Li Xuan asked Li Longji again.

The Lintao Army's 50,000 war horses, coupled with some cattle and camels, could carry a large amount of supplies to the Western Regions.

"This is inevitable. I will give Qilang an imperial decree when the time comes."

Li Longji nodded. The food and grass in the Western Regions were limited, and they must be supplied to this army for the initial stage.

"With the wisdom of the saint, after I arrive in the Western Regions, I will definitely report back as soon as possible the victory of incorporating the Hezhong region into the Anxi Protectorate."

Seeing that Li Longji agreed, Li Xuan had no worries at all.

When he went to the Western Regions, he not only had to defeat the Arabs at least once, but also had to preserve his strength.

Otherwise, if we only rely on Anxi's troops, many variables will arise.

The Transoxiana region is also known as the Sixteen Kingdoms of Transoxiana.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, there were Tokharistan, Hephthalite, Hadarochi, Jiesu, Kutushwasha, Gandhara, Vanaya, Shekhanana, Shigan, Tamo, Ulaga, Dolejian, Humido, Kuyuedegan, Persia, and Kumit.

Of course, looking at it now, some countries no longer exist.

The Hezhong region in a broad sense includes the Nine Zhaowu Clans, including Cao, Shi, and An.

It refers to the area between the Uhu River (now the Amu Darya River) and the Yaksha River (now the Syr Darya River), as well as the many tribes and countries on both sides of the river basins.

The Sixteen Kingdoms in Central Asia were all fence-sitters. They now nominally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but in reality it depended on which of the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs was more powerful.

The Nine Zhaowu Clans were completely controlled by the Arabs.

Especially after the unification of the Black Caliphate, as soon as Gao Xianzhi left, the Caliphate's Khorasan Governor Abu Muslim began to dispatch troops to Talas, the second city of the Shi Kingdom, with the intention of seeking justice for the Shi Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the governor of Khorasan's troop deployment that the Sixteen Kingdoms of Transoxiana completely turned to the Arabs.

Although Gao Xianzhi massacred the Stone Kingdom and made the other countries in the river lose their minds, fists are the hard truth.

If Li Xuan wanted to maintain his position, he had to complete the recovery of the Hezhong region, so that he would have a reason to confront the Arabs for a long time.

The supply of troops in the Western Regions is difficult, and it is impossible for Li Xuan to fight to the death with the entire Arab Empire. The best strategy is to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones.

"I hope Qilang can gain more experience and become more mature during his trip to the Western Regions. The Single Whip Law and the Performance Evaluation Law are too idealistic and will only cause trouble to officials and bring suffering to the people. They are not suitable for implementation."

After Li Longji arranged the affairs in the Western Regions, he educated Li Xuan.

"The sage is right. As a minister, I want to make the country and the people better, and make the world grateful to the sage. But I was not thoughtful enough and made it difficult for the sage. I deserve to be dismissed."

Li Xuan said slowly to Li Longji.

The tone was completely different from last year, which made Li Longji feel comfortable.

Li Longji was very sad. If this had happened earlier, he would not have dismissed Li Xuan.

He knew that in some matters of principle, Li Xuan had become like Zhang Jiuling, which made him feel uncomfortable.

According to Li Longji, this was too serious.

The country is so rich, even if the Yang family is extravagant, it is just a drop in the bucket!

"If we can defeat the Arabs and make their ruler surrender, I will consider Qilang as my chancellor, just like Zhang Shuo..."

Li Longji used both carrot and stick.

No matter what he thought in his heart, it was not impossible for Li Xuan to become prime minister again.

Because Li Xuan's identity was so special and he was famous in the literary world, he was undoubtedly the prime minister of the prosperous era.

"I will definitely live up to the saint's expectations."

Li Xuan bowed and said that such words meant nothing to him.

He and Li Longji stayed in Hua'e Xianghui Tower for another half an hour, and the two of them "had a very pleasant conversation"...

The day before the Lantern Festival, Li Longji issued an edict to appoint Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was dismissed from many of his posts.

At the same time, Li Longji dismissed Li Xuan from his post as governor of Hexi and Longyou.

Geshu Han was officially appointed as the ambassador of Hexi Jiedushi, and Wang Nande was officially appointed as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedushi.

The only duties Li Xuan held were Hexi Changxing Transport Commissioner, Longyou Pastoral Commissioner, and Idle Stables Commissioner.

The starting point of the Hexi Changxing Transport Mission was Xizhou (now Turpan), which was under Li Xuan's jurisdiction, and it was also convenient for Li Xuan to transport things from the Western Regions to Chang'an.

Li Longji still let Li Xuan hold the official position of horse breeding concurrently.

Li Longji thought that Li Xuan was good at raising horses, so he continued to command Deputy Envoy Zhang Wenyan and Judge Liu Ji.

In fact, Li Xuan just made the plan and the power was exercised by the deputy envoy.

The idle stables officer was in charge of the palace's cattle and horses. This was just an honorary position.

At the same time, Li Longji appointed Li Xuan as the Grand Protector of Anxi, the Jiedushi of Anxi and the Jiedushi of Beiting, the Ambassador of Anxi and the Ambassador of Beiting.

Originally, the Anxi Protectorate was remotely led by Li Linfu.

The Anxi Jiedushi could only serve as a deputy protector general.

Li Xuan's status was extraordinary, and he was directly appointed as the Grand Protector of the second rank.

The Tang Dynasty divided the Western Regions into East and West, with the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate each managing their own territory.

Li Longji appointed Li Xuan to command the Beiting troops and also gave Li Xuan the post of Beiting ambassador.

This meant that the Beiting Protectorate would be abolished and Li Xuan would take charge of Beiting's military and political affairs.

The post of Jiedushi of Beiting was vacant, but Li Longji did not let Gao Xianzhi take the post concurrently. He wanted to let Fu Menglingcha take the post of Jiedushi of Beiting.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Longji chose Li Xuan.

Before this, Li Xuan had asked Qing to control the Beiting troops and put them into the battle with the Arabs.

Li Longji ordered Li Xuan to go to the Western Regions to take up his post in February.

Li Xuan's current official position is:
The Grand Protector of Anxi; Acting Shangshu You Pushe; Ambassador of Anxi and Beiting Jiedushi; concurrently Ambassador of Anxi and Beiting Jinglüe, Ambassador of Hexi Changxing Transport, Ambassador of Longyou Herdsmen, and Envoy of Idle Stables; Granted the title of Zijin Guanglu Dafu and Shangzhuguo; Conferred the title of Prince of Tianshui County, with a fief of 1,500 households.

Li Xuan also took the opportunity to recommend Chen Cangqi as the envoy of Jishengtang, and Li Xian as the envoy of Ciushan.

The ambassador of the Changping New Law was Yang Guozhong.

The third batch of Longyou immigrants have completed their migration.

In the area around Longyou, there were hundreds of thousands more Han people, which eased the pressure on Hebei and Henan and enhanced the strength of Longyou.

If there is any rebellion in Tubo, we can recruit soldiers from the border areas and take horses from the pastures.

Due to the large amount of tribute from Tubo, the number of Han herdsmen increased.

Every household in the border areas raises cattle and sheep.

When Li Xuan was appointed prime minister, he insisted that Gao Shi, Liu Yan and Yang Wan continue to serve as governors of border areas, but they were just swapped.

Gao Shi was transferred to be the prefect of Qinghai, Liu Yan was transferred to be the prefect of Jiuqu, and Yang Wan was transferred to be the prefect of Baihai.

He hoped to develop the border areas according to his ideas and make the people there truly prosperous.

Any signs of the emergence of powerful people will be nipped in the bud.

……

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year's Day.

The lights are on, just like the dazzling stars shining on the earth. On Tianjie, there are bright lights and bright flowers. In the interweaving of light and shadow, people from thousands of households walk out of the streets and alleys to visit the streets.

The emperor, ministers, dignitaries, and common people all celebrated the coming of the festival together.

Compared to Huaqing Palace, Chang'an has more of a lively atmosphere. Chang'an that night is like a city that never sleeps.

Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, along with the civil and military ministers, first climbed to the third floor of Hua'e Xianghui Tower, the world's number one building, to admire the most gorgeous scenery in the world. Iron flowers seemed to bloom in every market in Chang'an.

Li Longji wanted the people to see the gorgeous iron flowers, and wanted the Hu people in Chang'an to see this magnificent and prosperous scene.

Let them return to their hometowns with regret and spread the power of the Tang Dynasty to their fellow countrymen.

From the Hua'e Xianghui Tower, you can see Chang'an and the cool bright moon in the sky.

The dazzling iron flowers bloomed in the night sky, like a poem or a painting. Together with the light towers and lighthouses, they illuminated the entire city of Chang'an.

The sounds of stringed instruments rose and fell, and dancers in gorgeous clothes danced gracefully, their graceful figures seemed to have walked out of a painting.

There is also the huge wheel of lights, which is so amazing and keeps spinning, and anyone who sees it will be amazed.

"Qilang, I heard you are going to the Western Regions?"

When Li Longji was watching the singing and dancing and the fireworks on the top floor of Hua'e Xianghui Tower, Yang Yuhuan came to Li Xuan and asked him.

She couldn't help it, she heard that the Western Regions were far away and a desolate and barren place.

If Li Xuan was in Chang'an, after a while, she would persuade Li Longji to appoint Li Xuan as prime minister again.

She believed that Li Longji still trusted Li Xuan.

"My dear lady, there is a country called the Arabs in the west that is rampant and intends to expand eastward. I need to hinder their eastward expansion and recover their homeland."

Li Xuan replied to Yang Yuhuan.

He was just about to ask Gao Lishi to help pass a message to Yang Yuhuan, but he didn't expect her to speak on her own initiative.

Li Xuan was not Yang Yuhuan's godson, so under normal circumstances, it would not be appropriate for him to visit her.

"Qi Lang has great power, I wish Qi Lang a successful start..."

Yang Yuhuan just felt sad, but couldn't persuade him.

Being a general and a prime minister is also what makes Li Xuan a hero.

She believed that Li Xuan could defeat the country of the Arabs and would definitely be appointed as prime minister again.

"Thanks for your good wishes, my lady. I will definitely enhance the national prestige in the Western Regions. When I get to the Western Regions, I will look for the most precious jewels and treasures and give them to you." Li Xuan smiled and said to Yang Yuhuan.

"Qi Lang is thoughtful..."

Yang Yuhuan smiled, this was not what she wanted.

Unless you have the moon-bright pearl in the sea and the heart-warming jade in Lantian.

Just like "Jinse", it is intoxicating and heartbreaking.

"Before I leave Chang'an, I have an unreasonable request." Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said to Yang Yuhuan.

"Qi Lang, please speak!"

Yang Yuhuan must satisfy Li Xuan's request.

"I have a subordinate who is the commander of the new soldiers in Changping. He is important to the country and is the eyes and ears of the court in the local area. I hope that Right Prime Minister Yang will not replace him for no reason." Li Xuan asked Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Guozhong has now realized the influence of the Changping New Army directly commanded by the commander-in-chief. If Li Xuan leaves, he will definitely replace Liao Zhengrong.

The Changping New Army is very important to his future.

"Don't worry, Qillang. Yang Guozhong dare not dismiss the commander of the Changping New Army. I will warn her." Yang Yuhuan agreed immediately.

"Seventh General is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Is there anything else you want to entrust to me?" Yang Yuhuan asked Li Xuan with a burning gaze.

In public, this look made Li Xuan's heart jump. What did this imperial concubine mean?
But Li Xuan thought about it, and then said to Yang Yuhuan: "My father, brother and wife, please take care of me. Although I have a rift with Yang, I always support you. If you are in trouble one day, I will definitely help you."

Li Xuan had to face a reality.

When a Jiedushi went out as a commander, he had to leave a hostage in Chang'an.

Because An Lushan was so favored, he had to leave his son An Qingzong in Chang'an as a hostage.

Li Xuan was unmarried and his father was in Chang'an, so there was no problem.

It is not in accordance with the rules to get married now and let Li Shizhi be a hostage in Chang'an.

Li Xuan was not so foolish as to ask Li Longji to take all his wives away.

Just keep one son.

But Li Xuan's sons are all very young, especially the youngest son. The youngest daughter is only a few months old.

Li Xuan did not dare to take him to the Western Regions and visit the Lop Nur where there was always wind and sand.

He had already discussed with Pei Lingxi that Pei Lingxi and Shuang'er would stay in Chang'an to take care of his children.

Jiang Yueyao and Changli went to the Western Regions with Li Xuan.

After two or three years, when the children are older, I will take them and Pei Lingxi away.

When the time comes, just leave one son in Chang'an.

At the critical moment, Li Xuan would send someone to take his son and Li Shizhi away and hide to the west.

Li Xuan left a number of personal guards in the west to lead the new recruits of the Changping Army.

These new Changping soldiers were loyal to him and could fight against local county magistrates and county governors at critical moments.

The new recruits from Changping occupied a large number of county soldiers and made it difficult for the counties to fight back without recruiting local militia.

"I will control my cousins ​​and sisters and tell them not to act too arrogantly. I will definitely help take care of Qilang's wife, children and father."

Yang Yuhuan felt that this was what she should do.

"Thank you, lady!"

Li Xuan thanked again.

She was sure that the kind-hearted Yang Yuhuan could not restrain the Five Yangs.

Many queens who held power in history were ruthless in participating in politics.

But Yang Yuhuan never had it.

But then again, Yang Yuhuan has an unshirkable responsibility for Yang's domineering behavior.

Because the Yang family's power came from Yang Yuhuan's indulgence.

"What are Yuhuan and Qilang talking about?"

At this time, Li Longji, who was admiring the lanterns, came over.

"I would like to ask Qilang to write a poem... like the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the whole world, only Qilang can write a poem with a unique rhythm. Isn't it suitable for the fireworks and bright lights of the Lantern Festival?"

Yang Yuhuan immediately changed her demeanor and tried to conceal the content of her conversation with Li Xuan. She suddenly had an idea and thought of asking Li Xuan for a word.

It was to evade Li Longji, but it was also to sincerely ask Li Xuan for help. Her bright eyes were full of expectation.

"That's right! That's right! Before Qilang goes to the Western Regions, please leave some good lyrics so that I can compose another great piece of music!"

Li Longji was in a good mood, and the Lantern Festival was also a festival for poets to recite poems and compose essays.

There are many literati in the city now, reciting poems under the flowers.

"I am only here, and I am not perfect. I hope to tour Suzaku Street alone to find inspiration. After the tour, I will present my poem to the saint and my lady."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied.

There is indeed a poem about Lantern Festival.

If "Song of Water Melody" is the masterpiece of autumn poems, then "Qingyu'an Yuan Xi" is the undisputed number one poem of the Lantern Festival.

"Qi Lang can go sightseeing by himself!"

Li Longji nodded, saying that writing poetry does require inspiration.

The feeling of traveling through time and space was embarrassing for Li Xuan just by standing on the Hua'e Xianghui Tower.

"Sanlang, we shouldn't stay in Hua'e Tower during the Lantern Festival. We should go to Qujiang tonight. We will meet Qilang in Qujiang."

Yang Yuhuan took the opportunity to speak to Li Longji.

"Yi Yuhuan's!"

Li Longji smiled. He was just about to leave Hua'e Xianghui Tower. It turned out that Yuhuan had the same thoughts with him.

Then he ordered Gao Lishi to set off on a tour to Qujiang.

Li Xuan wore casual clothes and deliberately walked in the dim area of ​​Zhuque Street, fearing that he would be recognized.

Her wives were on Suzaku Street watching the fireworks all over the city.

He didn't look for it deliberately.

Sometimes, I would go around the alleys to enjoy the fireworks.

The once-a-year, non-curfew night.

Li Xuan knew that the curfew had a huge impact on the city.

One day, Li Xuan will tear down the walls of these markets and lift the curfew.

In the alley, Li Xuan saw many children jumping around with lanterns in their hands.

On Suzaku Street, many noble men and women were strolling.

In another square, iron flowers flew into the sky, like the spring wind blowing open fireworks...

It took Li Xuan one hour to walk all the way to Qujiang.

There are bright lights here, from the royal attic to the gallery of Qujiang Lake.

There are also some of the few lantern wheels in Chang'an, as well as iron flower performances that will make you applaud...

When Li Longji's carriage arrived, it was distinguished from the common people.

"Greetings to the Saint, my lady..."

Li Xuan passed through Yulin Lang and arrived in front of Li Longji and Yang Guifei on the bank of Qujiang River.

"Qi Lang, do you have any good words?"

Li Longji asked Li Xuan.

Yang Yuhuan took a step forward, which showed that she was even more excited.

“Already!”

Li Xuan replied.

"Paper, ink and pen!"

As soon as Li Longji finished speaking, a table and writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were presented to him.

The female official held a lantern to illuminate.

After grinding the ink, Li Xuan picked up his pen and wrote the popular "Qingyu'an Yuan Xi" in one stroke.

The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and blows down stars like rain. The road is filled with the fragrance of BMWs and carved carriages. The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the light of jade pots turns, and fish and dragons dance all night.

Moer snow willow golden strands.The smile was filled with fragrance.People look for him thousands of Baidu.Suddenly looking back, the person was there, dimly lit.

Qingyu'an is the name of a tune, which also existed in the Tang Dynasty. It comes from Zhang Heng's poem "The beauty gave me a piece of brocade, how can I repay her with Qingyu'an" in the Han Dynasty.

But the style and rhythm of this time are different.

The first half of this poem describes the scenery of the Lantern Festival night, which can only be regarded as a masterpiece and will not shake the world for eternity. But the writing style changes in the end, and the poem is profound and leaves people with endless reverie.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Li Longji clapped his hands and said three wonderful words in a row. What he saw was a description of the Lantern Festival.

Now Li Longji is thinking about the meaning of searching for him among the crowd for thousands of times.

Anyone can see that there is a purpose behind this.

When Yang Yuhuan saw the first poem, she became drunk again. Because her ideas were too naive and simple, she repeatedly made misunderstandings.

Such as the previous "Chang'e" and the later "Jinse".

She thought Li Xuan was hinting at something.

And the most important thing about this poem "Qingyu'an Yuanxi" is who is the person standing in the dim light?

She wondered if it was herself!

The more I think about it, the more I blush.

Yang Guozhong, who accompanied Li Longji, was envious and jealous of Li Xuan's talent. He thought Li Xuan was outrageous!

Although he didn't quite understand it, it was catchy and must be a good piece of work.

The Yang sisters hated Li Xuan at this time. The better Li Xuan's poems were, the more uncomfortable they felt.

Pei Kuan, Wei Jiansu, Yang Shenjin and more than a dozen other third-rank ministers all praised him highly.

They are also wondering who "that person" is?
"Qilang, who is the person Qilang is looking for in this poem?"

Li Longji couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but ask Li Xuan.

"I cannot explain why the implementation of the new law has failed."

Li Xuan replied softly.

His answer easily made Li Longji and the ministers guess that the person was not referring to anyone, but the new law.

Li Xuan did not do so, so he wrote this poem.

Where the lights are dim!

At this time, Li Longji was not unhappy because Li Xuan was speaking from his heart.

Poets often use this to inject soul into their poems.

Just like Zhang Jiuling’s “Ganyu”, plants and trees have their own nature, so why ask for beauties to break them?

This just proves Li Xuan's loyalty!

In fact, Li Xuan’s man is more than just this, but he cannot show it.

However, Yang Yuhuan was still immersed in the fantasy she had woven.

There are also writers who will overthrow "that person" soon after, but there is still no consensus.

Some people say that the man was a wise ruler, the young Li Longji.

Some people say that the person was Li Xuan himself.

Some people say that that person is the one Li Xuan wants but cannot get.

Some people say that the dimming lights represent the peace and prosperity in Li Xuan’s heart.

Some people say that it was a kind of ambition. Li Xuan released himself that night...

As "Qingyu'an Yuanxi" was being sung, Li Xuan left Chang'an in the season of lush grass and flying orioles.

Li Xuan's father, brother, and wife took him to Xianyang Plain in a carriage...
