Li Ze looked at Han Qi and Xue Ping with some displeasure.

Han Qi coughed gently and said, "Li Xiang, as we expected, Du Youcai was not prepared at all. He had never believed that Tubo would launch a large-scale attack. In addition, the attack timing chosen by Tocharo this time was indeed unexpected. Du Youcai's defense in Lingzhou was about to collapse at a touch, and the entire Lingzhou had fallen."

Li Ze snorted coldly: "What's the matter? We have a plan for this. You are the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, no longer the governor of Hedong. Now there are all the governors in Hedong, and there are Li Cunzhong, the general of the Left Wu Guard. What are you doing?"

Li Ze's accusations were extremely serious in politics. He only pointed at his nose and said that Han Qi still regarded Hedong as his private land. Although this is indeed the case, on the surface, Hedong is the Hedong of the court, and Han Qi was just the former Hedong Jiedushi. Han Qi's performance was that he would not go and split the court.

Han Qi looked at Xue Ping with a wry smile. If it were normal, he would naturally have to argue a few words, but now, he doesn't have the intention.

"Li Xiang, An Sui's defeat is already expected. Li Cunzhong, the general of the Left Wu Guard, is a powerful general, but I am really worried about whether he has the ability to command tens of thousands of troops to fight Tocharo in a comprehensive confrontation. Tocharo has become a fox for thousands of years. If Li Cunzhong makes a slight mistake, it will affect Hedong. Tens of thousands of troops and millions of people in Hedong will suffer with him? Li Xiang, I have been in Hedong for many years, and I have worked hard for Hedong. He is definitely unwilling to make any mistakes in Hedong. So please allow me to go to Hedong."

Li Ze gently knocked on the table and looked at Han Qi with a smile: "Shangshu Han, if you go to Hedong, Hedong will naturally be the main one, but if there is any mistake in this war, you are the first person responsible, the inescapable main person responsible. Have you thought of this?"

Han Qi smiled confidently: "Li Xiang, as long as I go to Hedong, you will wait for the good news that I will defeat Tocharo."

"Okay, since you are so persistent, then go, You Yong will be the acting of the Ministry of War!" Li Ze nodded: "But Secretary Xue, your request will not be allowed. Hedong is indeed important, but he has already gone to a Minister of War. There are reasonable reasons for Han Shangshu to go. You are the Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty. Why are you going to Hedong for?"

"Li Xiang and Shangshu Han commanded the battle on the front line. Xue can coordinate logistics for him in the rear. After many years in the north, Xue is already very familiar with the logistics supply in the army." Xue Ping said.

Li Ze looked at him with some annoyance: "Shangshu Xue, I have always wanted to have a good talk with you. You are the Minister of Works. I also know that you are very capable and serious in your work, but ask yourself, are you devoted wholeheartedly? It's just a small Hedong, which is worth your attention? Coordinating logistics, are the governors in Hedong eating shit? If they can't even do this, what else do they have to do? Now the Shuozhou army is setting off to start a war with the Tubo people. I don't want to send a Shangshu to Shuozhou to coordinate logistics. Do you think it's appropriate to Cao Xin or Zhang back? Or send Xia He?"

Xue Ping was speechless, and Li Ze always spoke with them, and even if he knew that they were planning something that was not good for him, he could still smile. But today, Li Ze was furious and extremely angry.

"You are the Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty, not the logistics officer of Li Cunzhong or Han Qi!" Li Ze said angrily: "If you insist on going, then ask His Majesty the Emperor to resign from the position of Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works and demoted to the General of the Left Wu Guard Military Advisor, and concentrate on coordinating logistics for Li Cunzhong!"

Seeing that Li Ze was already on the verge of exposure, Han Qi quickly stood up and said, "Li Xiang, Shangshu Xue is just worried about the situation of war. It is indeed not suitable for him to go to Hedong. Li Xiang is at ease, I also oppose him going to Hedong."

Xue Ping sighed and bowed, "Li Xiang, it's Xue's abrupt and I don't think about it. I'll take back what I said before."

Li Ze's face cleared, he nodded, and said, "Two, although the Tubo is in a turbulent momentum, in my opinion, it is just a disease of mustard tinea, and at most it is a border war. For us, more importantly, the next spring plowing. As the Minister of Works, you should focus on the country's water conservancy projects, road projects, etc. that can affect spring plowing, and ensure that there is no fault in spring plowing. War is the affairs of the Ministry of War, the affairs of the Twelve Guards, and the affairs of me, the prime minister. What other departments and officials need to do is to clarify their responsibilities and do their own jobs well. As long as everyone does their own things well, the world will naturally be stable. But if everyone is not at ease with their own affairs and extends their hands everywhere, not only will they not do their own things well, but they will also ruin the things that others can do well."

Xue Ping walked out of Li Ze's general office with Han Qi dejectedly and stood in the spacious yard. He looked at Han Qi with a sad face and said, "You must be careful when you go to Hedong. I always feel that Li Xiang is deliberately preventing me from going to Hedong. If he wants to target you, then this time is the best opportunity."

Han Qi smiled and said, "Of course I know that he actually made it very clear. Once the Zuo Wuwei is defeated, the first person responsible is me. Don't worry, I won't let him do what he wants. The Zuo Wuwei will definitely win. We will defeat the Tubo people and annex the entire Ansui. As long as you win, even if Li Ze has a thousand excuses, he will not be able to speak. The winner will not be criticized."

Xue Ping nodded: "Of course the truth is this, but I also understand that it is difficult to say that things on the battlefield are 100% sure to win, and you must not be careless. When will you leave?"

"Since you have received permission, the sooner you leave, the better. Make preparations one day earlier, and you will have more chances of winning." Han Qi said.

Xue Ping thought for a while and said, "You are on the front line and you must put a reliable and reliable person behind you to supervise the logistics. I am indeed worried about those wealthy families."

"I'm in Hedong, are you afraid that they will make a fuss?" Han Qi said proudly: "Brother Xue, don't worry, even if I send a personal soldier, they will not dare to be negligent."

Xue Ping nodded: "Then I wish you a good journey, a victory, and a victory, and when you return from victory, I will drink and drink with you until you get drunk."

"Get ready for the bar!" Han Qi laughed and left.

When Li Ze returned to his backyard, he happened to see Liu Ruyan and Xia He sitting together and knitting sweaters. When it comes to skills, Xia He is naturally even better. After all, she has been doing this for many years, and Liu Ruyan has only started learning this year. However, smart people are smart people, and Liu Ruyan learns very quickly.

Xia Zhu was also in the house, holding an embroidery bandage in his hand, embroidering a pair of lotus flowers with needles and threads. The three of them were focused and did not notice that Li Ze had walked in. It was not until Li Ze coughed lightly that the three of them raised their heads.

Since Xia He became pregnant, Liu Ruyan has been forced to return home every day after dark. If she does not return after the time limit, she will send guards to the Ministry of Revenue building and capture Xia He.

Liu Ruyan took out the sport of a big wife, and Xia He was helpless. She knew Liu Ruyan's temper very well. If she really refused to return after the time limit, Liu Ruyan would really have to send guards to carry her back from the Ministry of Revenue building.

Liu Ruyan's guards were all big and thick-skinned wives. After military training, they were even more fierce. The guards of the Ministry of Revenue were really not their opponents. More importantly, the guards would not attack them.

So when it gets dark, Xia He can only let his assistant carry a stack of documents that have not been processed in time and go back home to continue processing.

Today is a rare day of free time.

"Who did you knit this for?" Li Ze looked at the semi-finished product in their hands with enthusiasm.

"Stop looking, it's not for you." Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "These are woven for my father and mother. Xia He's hands are more coincidental than me. I pulled her to help me. Well, where is Xia Zhu? She is making wedding dresses for herself!"

Xia Zhu blushed, stood up, bowed to Li Ze, and ran away like an embroidered deer.

Looking at her back, Li Ze was also very pleased. Xia Zhu finally figured it out that marrying Shi Zhuang is actually a very good destination. Unlike ordinary military generals, although Shi Zhuang is not good-looking, he is both civil and military. Although he is a stepmother when he enters the house, Shi Zhuang's son Shi Ping has always been kept in the Li family mansion. The one who really takes care of is Xia Zhu himself, and the relationship between the two has always been excellent.

Shi Zhuang, who had no intention of marrying again, agreed to marry Xia Zhu because of this.

"Does it feel good these days?" Looking at Xia He, Li Ze asked with concern: "Don't be too tired. I transferred Sun Lei back just to let him share part of your work. He has been with you for many years and is quite familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Actually, there is no reaction, it's no different from before!" Xia He said.

"You are so nice. I remember when I was pregnant with Dan'er, I vomited so much that I became haggard and I didn't dare to look in the mirror. You are better, with the child in your eyes, and you become even more radiant." Liu Ruyan looked at Xia He jealously and said.

Xia He smiled slightly: "Madam, you are pregnant with a son, so you will naturally have to react bigger. Yan Jiu said that my child is 90% of my daughter, so that I am like this."

"Hello, daughter, good." Li Ze laughed and said, "One son and one daughter, just made up a good word, both children, life is perfect!"
