Since the first moment he opened his eyes in this world, Li Tong really felt a strong malice. That malice is everywhere, and there is no way to escape.

At the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that neither his grandmother Wu Zetian nor his two uncles, including the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, were his hope. If you want to live, you can only toss around blindly. If you don't happen to toss something bad, then you will die in your own hands.

Although the world is very cold, it is not a reason for him to be pessimistic and self-abandoned, people still have to live for themselves after all, and no one is obliged to take responsibility for your joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

The reason why he chose to retreat bravely from the rapids, left the Shendu City under the pretext of keeping filial piety, and drove himself to Chang'an, Xijing, was naturally to avoid political danger and persecution.

On the other hand, in the current political environment, what he has reached at the moment has been a limit for a long time, and if he wants to expand upward, there will be little effect, and the dangers he faces will multiply.

And everything he enjoys now is all in the air, which seems to be a lot of prosperity, but in fact it still lacks strong support. Once he becomes the target of a certain political force, the only means of self-preservation is to continue to beg for the protection of his grandmother.

But Wu Zetian is a politician after all, not a wet nurse, and now he has exact political needs, so he treats his grandson preferentially. Once this need is gone, it is difficult to maintain such pampering.

chose to leave at this moment, one is self-proclaimed filial piety and thoughtfulness, and the other is also to highlight the high wind and bright festival: I am not tossing blindly for myself at all, purely for my grandmother. After the incident, he brushed his clothes, chic and calm.

It is very difficult for the average person to make such a decision. The reason why people value everything in the present is that the future is unpredictable, especially in such an unpredictable political struggle, if you really take a step back, you may become a fish.

Not to mention anything else, if Li Tong hadn't known that his grandmother still had years to toss, he wouldn't have made such a decision so easily. If his grandmother hung up in less than two years, it would be strange if he didn't settle accounts after the autumn with his previous various operations of selling his ancestral business!

The reason why he withdrew from the center of the situation was also because he was worried that his little wings would be too happy, and he might directly fan his grandmother to death. At present, his foundation is still shallow, and he really needs to continue to thrive under the care of his grandmother.

Not to mention that there happens to be an excellent excuse to return to the Guanzhong Ancestral Land right now, even if there is none, you have to create a reason to leave the Divine Capital. Otherwise, the thirteen incense will become harmonious, and it will be a matter of minutes.

Liu Youqiu was originally a little melancholy and uneasy about the young king's recent swagger, but after learning about the young king's back arrangement, he was already quite convinced: "The dragon is ever-changing, and the advance and retreat are calm." The king can not be fascinated by flashiness and look forward to the long term, but he is lowly and narrow-sighted, and people are worried. ”

After understanding the arrangements of the young queen's back road, you can also look at the current actions more correctly.

Any politician who has been out of the spotlight for too long will suffer a great blow to his political life. Therefore, regarding mourning and seizing affection, the past dynasties have also continued to do deeds, and many people have planted on this.

Although the young king's identity is sensitive, it is inevitable that these politicians are normal, once they have been away from the current situation for too long, whether they can recover in the future and whether they can reach the current Xuanhe is actually unknown.

Therefore, before leaving, it is also necessary to leave a deep impression on the current situation. is already a noble king, and he is talented and rich, even if he fades out of the current situation in a short time, he will not sink away, and there is no possibility of turning over.

For Liu Youqiu's compliment, Li Tong only smiled. What he has done recently, in addition to leaving a gorgeous midfield curtain call, is also to show his grandmother his potential.

Imagine all kinds of benefits, but one thing is not certain, that is, will his grandmother let him go?

Li Tong also thought a lot about this, at least in his opinion, his grandmother had no reason to object. Although politicians have an unfathomable track of their hearts, the basic political logic still has to be observed.

Just as when the Li clan was purged last year, Wu Zetian summoned Princess Taiping into the palace, and this year he married the Wu family. At present, Wu Zetian naturally does not have the political needs of Li Wuhe, so this practice is also to provide protection for this beloved daughter.

Wu Zetian would not be unclear that if Li Tong's family remained in Shendu next, the situation would become awkward and dangerous.

At least for now, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is still very harmonious, and the reason why Li Tong can stand at the front desk to speak for his grandmother is based on filial piety. Now Li Tong is also asking for self-retreat based on filial piety, if Wu Zetian doesn't want to kill his grandson, let him fade out at the right time is also a kind of protection.

As for when Li Tong returned to Guanzhong to guard his father's tomb, would the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and directly pulled up a team in Guanzhong to make a revolution?

This assumption does not exist, one is that he himself stood on his grandmother's side with a clear position and made an indelible contribution to the Wuzhou Revolution.

As a result, he turned against his grandmother again, not to mention that people with normal brain circuits can't do such things, and no one will follow a villain like him who goes back on his word.

If you really want to have this idea, it is better to rely on the gods to hook up with the generals of the forbidden army more efficiently. The above request for mourning is originally a manifestation of heart.

Second, the current Guan Long Xungui has already withered away, it is not systematic, and there are no soldiers in the military register, many years ago, the leader of the eldest grandson Wuji can be stabbed and fell, and it is not easy to organize a team that can challenge the center of the divine capital.

As early as the beginning of the Guangzhai period, the guys who formed a team to go to Fangzhou to pick up the King of Luling would have so many every year, what was the result?

The trade-offs in the hearts of these people only care about it. From the moment Wu Zetian chose to adopt Li Tong's "Buddha Says the Treasure Rain Sutra" and made a big move, this grandson is destined not to be a character who can be confined and raised again.

Now that Li Tong chooses to retire temporarily, it can also make the situation clearer, and at the same time, it can also make his grandmother's employment strategy more calm.

In order to represent Tang Luji, Wu Zetian must have misused many people, and he was too gracious, and now his own grandchildren have made a statement and retired successfully, and those who pretend to be grandchildren also have to have a long snack, they should work hard, and they should withdraw.

After the two of them finished communicating, the morning sun gradually rose, and a new day began again.

After understanding the young king's thinking, Liu Youqiu no longer resisted, and took the initiative to help Zhang Luo travel to Longmen today.

The scale of the Longmen industry is large enough, and there are one or two hundred guests who stayed here last night, and after seeing the talent and boldness of the young king, the number of people who should visit the Longmen together today is not small. And some people who didn't come to the door last night also came to visit after hearing about the feast last night.

In addition to these guests, there are also many cattle and horse wagons loaded with ingredients and wine, which are constantly transported to other businesses.

"The Nanshi Society knows that the king is full of guests, worried that the garden is not enough, since last night let people buy food outside the city to send it, and I am afraid of being humble and vulgar, I dare not go forward to make a time, please entrust the humble post to convey the affection, do not worship the door, it is not disrespectful."

Hearing Shi Sizhen's announcement, Li Tong nodded and said, "Recently, the protocol has been complicated, and I have no time to receive it. Tell those volunteer businessmen that donate goods into the matter, and the love is not to be said, and when they are free, the banquet in the house will be prepared and the hospitality will be returned. ”

He then faded out of the political arena, originally intending to develop new potential growth in the market, even if he was not in Shendu in the next few years, but the exchanges between the two capitals were already frequent, and this relationship was worth maintaining.

Choosing to retreat to Xijing, Li Tong also wanted to open up several trade routes, where Guanzhong was located, Longyou in the west, and Shuzhong in the lower Ling, which was originally an important market and commercial goods distribution center.

In the future, he will live in seclusion in Xijing, and he will also personally preside over the laying of the Ancient Clothing Society in Guanzhong, if these two important business routes can be opened, it is of great significance to the development of the Ancient Clothing Society.

Although there is no clue about Shuzhong at the moment, the way to connect the Western Regions is ready-made. Tang Xiujing is currently the governor of Xizhou, although he can't reach political and military interaction and cooperation in a short period of time, but he has raised your granddaughter for so long, so it's not too much to ask for convenience in business, right?

If he can have a certain right to speak in terms of business, then Li Tong is not only satisfied with being a king of goods, he wants to sit on the ground and share the spoils!

These merchants are very rich in oil and water, like Wu Sansi extorted money and materials in the middle of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, asked the merchants to donate money and materials to build Tianshu, and the Zhang brothers directly introduced the wealthy merchants in Shuzhong into the palace banquet. Looting oil and water from these businessmen to achieve his own career, Li Tong did not have much psychological burden.

When the official outing, there were hundreds of people from the tour team, and a group of people or cars or horses were heading towards the Dragon Gate.

At this time, around the dragon gate, tents have already been erected, and they are all gorgeous like small hills. At the same time, there are also soldiers of the forbidden army patrolling back and forth along the road, and idlers are not allowed to enter the ceremonial field.

Li Tong and his entourage are very conspicuous, and naturally they will inevitably be interrogated by the forbidden army.

The main people who are responsible for the security work of the Longmen ceremonial field are the Yulin Army of the Northern Ya and the soldiers of the Thousand Cavalry, and the Yulin General Wu Youyi is personally present in charge.

Seeing the young king and his entourage swaggering, Wu Youyi inevitably felt a little disgusted in his heart, but then he remembered that Wu Chengsi and others had told him not to have any trouble with the young king recently, so he also waved his hand to let him go, and appointed a thousand cavalry soldiers to follow the escort, which was regarded as giving the young king a face.

"The last general, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Brigade, Guo Da, was ordered to escort the tour guide!"

A burly, neatly dressed thousand cavalry chief immediately stepped forward and turned down to bow down at the young king's feet, although his head was lowered, there was an excitement in his tone that could not be concealed.
