Chapter 20： new teacher report

The second Li Xunchao stepped into the Ganlu Hall, she saw the two people sitting inside, and her originally steady steps almost went astray.

Li Xunxun quickly retreated to the door, walked out of the hall and looked up.

It's Ganlu Hall, right? Why are the Empress and Lord Zhou sitting inside? What about His Majesty?

Li Xunxun asked the guard guarding the gate what time it is.

Knowing that she was a teacher recruited by the emperor himself, the guard called out to Li Shidu respectfully, and then honestly replied that it was about a quarter past the unitary hour.

Li Xunchao was even more puzzled: I should be teaching the empress by myself today, right? What happened to the two people in Ganlu Hall?

Just when she was hesitating at the gate of the hall, Li Zishou arrived late with Lu Xiaoying.

Li Zifu spent more than half of his time today, except for the early morning, practicing horseback riding and swinging a sword.

As soon as he thought of going back to the palace and being stared at by Bai Qingyang, Li Zifu kept procrastinating, but she wanted to practice more, and Chen Feng wanted to get off work early.

This community animal from the southwest really didn't want to work for a second, so he just found a reason and slipped away, leaving only the boss Li Zifu and the horse grazing next to him.

When Li Zifu returned to the palace and saw Li Xunchao was at the door, he probably knew that Bai Qingyang had arrived, so she called Li Xunchao to go in together.

Bai Qingyang and Zhou Huaijin had been waiting for a while, but when they saw Li Zichou coming in, they both stood up.

"The concubine sees His Majesty."

"My minister sees Your Majesty."

"The queen is free, Master Zhou is free." Li Zichou smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, turned his head to Li Xunxuan and said, "Master Li, you are teaching me today, and the queen and Lord Zhou are listening."

Li looked for a second to understand: One student faced three masters, isn't the emperor a bit miserable?

She, Li Xunchao, had seen the world, Zhou Huaijin and Bai Qingyang looked at her and thought it was nothing.

He bowed to the two of them gracefully, and quickly entered the classroom.

Li Xunxun was wearing an old-style indigo official uniform for female officials.

In the history of Dasheng, there have been precedents for women to enter the court as officials. In some periods, there were women regents in the royal family, and these regent princesses or empresses or empress dowagers used many maids.

But later, Dasheng's male heirs began to reject female officials, allowing men to monopolize state power again. It became more and more difficult for women to compete with men in officialdom, and female officials gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

The one on Li Xunxun's body was ordered by Li Zifu to be made by the Department of Shangyi.

Lu Xiaoying plays the role of a personal maid, wearing the clothes of a court lady, in order to be able to replace Li Zixuan at any time.

The two from Yizhou wore the clothes and armors they brought with them, so they didn't need to change into the ones in the palace. Therefore, the only person who can wear the female officer's official uniform is Li Xunchao.

Li Xunxuan was also looking good in this outfit, she quickly entered the role of the empress' attendant, unfolded a big picture and hung it on the screen, facing Li Zichou.

Li Zichou had already seen the names of Dasheng's prefectures in various classics, but when he saw the map for the first time, he still felt that Dasheng's territory was very vast.

"Your Majesty, today I will tell you about the strategic position of the state capitals of Dasheng. You are already familiar with Linjing, so let's skip it."

Li Zichou hesitated to speak:...

Li Fu is familiar with it, but she is not.

"Then let's start with Qinzhou, which is next to Linjing."

Qinzhou, the place name Li Zichou has been heard many times before.

That was the place where Prince Yu was buried in the book, it was Bai Qingyang's hometown, and it was also the place where Bai Qingyang's mother and daughter were imprisoned.

Li Zishou subconsciously looked at Bai Qingyang.

Bai Qingyang was stunned for a moment because of her glance, then lowered his head and looked down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Qinzhou, I know, is close to the capital, and the area is prosperous. What's more, the water flows through it, and it is a transfer station for various commercial roads. The land connects the north and the south, and travels between east and west. It has imported countless wealth into the capital, and it is called the "Gateway of Linjing". .”

"Master Zhou, why don't you come here." Li Xunxuan was also unequivocal when he teased Zhou Huaijin in front of the empress.

Zhou Huaijin knew that his class had messed up, so he gave a dry laugh, and then closed his mouth resentfully.

Li Xunxun then said to Li Zichou: "Your Majesty, you heard it just now. Qinzhou is the richest city in Dasheng, and it is almost even inferior to the capital. On the land of Qinzhou, the annual cargo transfer volume alone is Accounted for nearly 40% of the entire country."

"The rest, 20% are in the three border states, 20% are in Linjing, 10% are in Shangyang Mansion, the former site of the Dasheng Palace, and 10% are the sum of other state capitals." Bai Qingyang said lightly.

Li Xunchang was very surprised by her. She had heard of her title as the number one talented woman in the capital in the early years, but she did not expect that this queen empress would know such special knowledge.

Li Xunxuan couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Li Zichou was also very surprised. She heard from Yang Dejin that Bai Qingyang had only lived in Qinzhou and Linjing, not as rich experience as Li Xunchao, but she was able to understand Dasheng's economy to this extent.

Should it be said that he is worthy of being the future king of Dasheng?

Li Xunxun had a little appreciation for the empress in her heart, and she continued: "So, if you want to ask me, your majesty, which place should I focus on internally, there is no doubt that it is Qinzhou." She stretched out her finger there The word "Qinzhou" on the drawing was circled.

Li Zichou has always been an inquisitive student. She raised her hand and asked, "My lord, since Qinzhou is so rich, why didn't Qinzhou be used as the imperial capital when it was relocated?"

Li Xunxun was inexplicably satisfied with the title of Grand Tutor, and when she heard the emperor raised such a valuable question, she smiled and was about to explain, but just as she opened her mouth, Zhou Huaijin rushed to answer.

"I know this. Your Majesty, please see that Linjing has a unique geographical advantage over Qinzhou. It is backed by the towering terrain in the west, controls two important military towns in the north and the south, and has the Tijinshu of Qinzhou in the east. It is easy to defend geographically. Difficult to attack, unique in terms of economic position, it could not be more suitable as the imperial capital."

Li Zichou nodded suddenly, with an expression of "useful knowledge has increased" on his face.

Bai Qingyang also nodded in agreement, thinking that Huaijin still has two brushes this week.

Only Li Xunchang pursed his lips in dissatisfaction: "..."

Then she goes?

Li Zishou wrote two strokes on his blank paper, and then remembered: "Master Li, you just said that you are on the inside, so which city should I focus on on the outside?"

Li Xunchao: "Master Zhou, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Seeing that Zhou Huaijin's broken mouth was about to rush to answer again, Li Xunchao quickly predicted his prediction.

Zhou Huaijin: ...

Well, if he doesn't grab jobs, he won't be successful.

"Yongzhou." Li Xunchao moved his finger to the northernmost part of the map.

"The external strategic focus actually changes with the current situation. As for Yongzhou, it faces the Shuobei Khanate. Lord Zhou, please explain." Li Xunchao decided to give Zhou Huaijin a chance to perform.

Zhou Huaijin just wanted to stop robbing jobs, when she heard what she said, she explained excitedly: "The Shuobei Khanate is commonly known as Shuobei. In the north of our Dasheng, there are so-called wolves running on the grassland and flying eagles in the sky. .This country has been undergoing changes since the reign of the first emperor, and Shuobei will not be too quiet in recent years."

Li Zichou nodded: "That is to say, to defend against Shuobei's attack, we must grasp Yongzhou, right?"

Li Xunxun and Zhou Huaijin both nodded.

Li Zifu subconsciously looked at Bai Qingyang. She didn't speak just now, but now she was staring at him.

Li Zichou: "Does the Queen have anything to say?"

Bai Qingyang actually had nothing to say, she was just observing Li Zishou silently, as if she wanted to see the depths of her soul through the skin.

When she heard Li Zishou's question, she brought Shensi back to the topic just now. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Zishou again, and said:

"In the late spring of next year, Shuobei will raise troops to attack Dasheng." When she said this, her expression was flat, but her tone was very certain, as if she was stating an established fact.

Both Zhou Huaijin and Li Xunchang were very surprised.

Especially Zhou Huaijin, with vigilance in his eyes, he asked back: "How did the Empress know?"

At this time, Zhou Huaijin was like a fierce tiger pinching its claws.

He thought of the possibility that Bai Qingyang was Shuobei's secret agent almost instantly, even though she had never been out of the capital and Qinzhou, even though she was a literati he admired, even though he also felt that Bai Qingyang's collusion with the enemy and treason was strange.

But these did not prevent Zhou Huaijin from doubting Bai Qingyang, he now wants to put Li Zireward first, he is the queen's arm, he will remove all threats for the queen.

But Li Xunchang was not as stressed as Zhou Huaijin, instead he raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "It's not impossible."

According to the current situation on the border, as soon as the grass begins to grow next spring, the Shuobei people are indeed very likely to wave their whips and go south.

Bai Qingyang ignored the two of them, she kept looking at Li Zishou, she wanted to know her reaction.

There was also a hint of surprise in Li Zihou's eyes, but in Bai Qingyang's view, that emotion was not like being surprised by hearing her speech for the first time, but more like suddenly discovering that someone else knew that only he know the secret.

Li Chou... You really are not the original Li Chou, who the **** are you?

Bai Qingyang originally thought that he would live a new life, but Li Chou wanted to play hard to catch him.

But in recent days, she discovered that there was really something wrong with this Li Fu, she was not Li Fu at all!

Since Bai Qingyang could be reborn himself, it might be reasonable for Li Chou's core to be replaced...?

Li Zichou was also extremely suspicious, she knew that Bai Qingyang was testing herself.

But she made it clear at that point in time, in the late spring of next year, Shuobei will strike.

This is the original story told by Yang Dejin who has read the original novel. It will be the first and most difficult battle during the reign of the original owner Li Shou.

And it was at that point in time that Bai Qingyang completely broke away from the palace and the control of the original owner, and had his own contacts and army.

too weird! How did Bai Qingyang know this? Is she also...

The brainstorm lasted only for a short moment, Zhou Huaijin was still on guard against Bai Qingyang, Li Zichou rubbed his brows, waved and said, "Huaijin, don't be rude."

Bai Qingyang frowned slightly, not letting go of any slight expression on Li Zifu's face.

But I heard Li Zishou's next words: "The Bai family is loyal, and the empress will not betray Dasheng."

Bai Qingyang was stunned, she didn't expect Li Zichou to say that, the same tone of affirmation, both in and out of words were trust in herself.

The author has something to say:

Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but those who wear books are afraid of rebirth.
