King Yong's reprimands and the angry voices of the soldiers inside and outside the pass suddenly made the atmosphere in front of the pass tense and solemn.

The soldiers of the forbidden army sent by the imperial court naturally did not know that the power struggle was too profound, and they only felt that they were escorting King Yong's family to the west, even if they had no merit and hard work, but instead of being treated well, they were reprimanded and intimidated in front of the pass, and they naturally felt indignant in their hearts, and they only felt that King Yong was arrogant and domineering.

Therefore, they also have blades in their hands, and they are quite in a posture of wanting to fight when they see that the situation is not good.

Ordinary soldiers may be arrogant, but the two Nanya generals who led the team can more or less perceive the inside situation, so they naturally dare not really connive at the situation to move in front of Tongguan Pass.

Xingtai's sudden performance in the western border of Tongguan has made the court nervous, and at this time, seeing King Yong's tough attitude, he is even more timid in his heart. The two glanced at each other, Yang Zhiqing stayed here to try to appease King Yong, and Cheng Zheng hurriedly returned to Jieguo to discuss with the envoys before driving the bus.

"The imperial court gave Pei Nayan a generous kindness, and then made the Duke of Jieguo go west to escort the king's family, and gave special gifts frequently, just to show his ...... to His Royal Highness King Yong"

Yang Zhiqing stubbornly continued, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"The Queen Mother's encounter with General Yang is not unkind. The court has not asked about the affairs of the court recently, and it is inconvenient for me to say right and wrong. But with this little bit of friendship and friendship, I only ask the general, who in the DPRK and China suggested sending the envoy to Jieguogong? ”

Before Yang Zhiqing finished speaking, Li Tong spoke again. He still has some dealings with Yang Zhiqing, after all, Yang Zhiqing was born in the Hongnong Yang family's Guan Wang family, and he is the mother of the Queen Mother, and Yang Zhiqing is Yang Shida's grandson, so he is closer to the former Prime Minister Yang Zhirou and the Queen Mother.

When Yang Zhiqing heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and struggled in his heart for a long time before he bowed forward and whispered: "This Chinese scholar Wei Chengqing is ...... use."

After Li Tong heard this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, nodded to Yang Zhiqing, and then waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Soon, Cheng Zheng returned again, clasped his fists and said: "The last general was ordered by the emperor to escort the king's family to the west, and after meeting His Royal Highness in front of the pass and delivering the mission, fortunately he did not disgrace his life, so he stopped here and no longer entered the customs to disturb." If His Highness has nothing to teach, the last general will return to the court. ”

Did he consult with the envoys? Never talk about the official affairs of the country again? Prepare to return to the court and listen to the plan again.

After Li Tong heard this, his face improved slightly? Take a step forward and bow in the direction of Luoyang, the divine capital, and then get up? He said to Cheng Zheng and the others: "Please return to the court to the generals, the ministers and the emperor's relatives?" Fortunately, he has lived in Shaanxi. Live me with affection? So far, I have not changed my original intention! The two capitals are the emperor's residence? Although it is divided into things, it is not neglected inside and outside. The minister's festival is specialized, and the emperor is entrusted by the emperor, and he is guarded in the tomb of his ancestors? Although he died, he did not dare to fall into the power of the temple! ”

After saying this? He looked around at the soldiers of the forbidden army outside the gate, and continued to say loudly: "The family members come to the west, and the private affairs of the court gate are actually guarded by the guards and guards. The strong man favors me, and I am truly grateful. Only Kansai coincides with military exercises? Fear of chaos in the military formation, regret can't switch on hospitality? Only wine, food, and things are a few piles, before the furnishings are closed? Listen to yourself, Xiao Wang also stands up for this long thanks! ”

His voice fell? The door is open in the rear? A large number of wine, meat, silk and goods that have been prepared for a long time are transported out by carts? Directly filled the open space in front of the pass.

The soldiers of the forbidden army in the imperial court were originally indignant and resentful, but they did not expect this change in the situation again, and they couldn't help but react for a while. However, seeing the abundance of wine, food, and possessions piled up on those cars, even if everyone present shared it evenly, it was quite impressive, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and turned to praise King Yong's generosity.

After Cheng Zheng and the others discussed it, they already felt that King Yong was not easy to provoke, at least it was not something that they could provoke, and they had already planned to return to the capital, but they didn't expect King Yong to have these follow-up arrangements, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and panicked for a while.

"The last general will wait for this envoy, and the emperor will send him by order. After enjoying the material, only loyalty and diligence are repaid, and the internal affairs are divided, how dare you invite rewards again. The food is satisfying, and the fatigue can be comforted a little, and as for the gifts, it is really ashamed to receive them. ”

Cheng Zheng looked away from the car's goods, and hurriedly said.

After Li Tong heard this, he said with a smile: "A few days ago, King Yu and others planned to leave the cabinet, and I donated all my furniture to funding. Righteousness is meaningless, and it is felt and sent. The soldiers have traveled hard, or it may be said to be commonplace, but for me, it is a great favor to protect my family. The few things have been ashamed of their expressions, or they may be said to have dry rituals, but they have been embodied, so they can only ask the generals to smile and accept them, hand them to the court, and measure and give them. ”

His fourth uncle's operation also made a commotion, and Li Tong was naturally not far behind. King Yong is a member of the Zongjia scene, and he has never sent hungry soldiers, and the thank you gift has been handed over, and how the court wants to distribute it is a matter for the court.

Li Tong made up his mind not to allow these people to pass through Tongguan, but he did not treat them harshly, in addition to the abundant food, drink, and goods, he also transferred a batch of felt tents and camp equipment from Tongguan for them to temporarily station and rest. There were even thousands of copper coins mixed between these felt tents for the soldiers of the forbidden army to pick up.

As he said, he stood in front of the pass until evening, and when he saw that the soldiers of the forbidden army were camped and settled properly, he returned to the Tongguan pass. From beginning to end, he didn't look at the Jieguo Gong, and the Jieguo Gong naturally didn't get out of the car, and obediently became a transparent person.

The reality is like this, the second king is very awesome to say, but in fact it is the same thing. If you really want to take the initiative to exert any influence on the realpolitik environment, not to mention others, those Guan Longxun nobles who regard them as spiritual totems will not agree.

Not to mention the forbidden troops of the imperial court outside the pass, after returning to Tongguan Pass, Li Tong still did not have time to see his long-lost family, but told the princess to rest early and leave for Chang'an on the next day to make a long statement.

As for him, he was cooking strong tea, and he wanted to talk to his second brother Li Shouli all night about the details of the recent changes in the Shendu.

"San Lang, I am being appointed to Shaanzhou today, will it be harmful to the future? But at that time, my grandmother told me not to stay, and at that time, the personnel changes were complicated, and I didn't have time to wait for your voice, so I had to respond. ”

After the brother sat down, Li Shouli spoke, looking a little worried. He knew that he was clumsy in planning, and he only looked forward to his brothers in everything, but this time he took over the assassination of Shaanzhou without waiting for the news from Xijing, which made him uncertain whether it was good or bad.

Li Tong took a sip of strong tea and sighed: "Grandmother miscalculated this time, since she doesn't want my brother to get involved in the chaos of Shendu, just send your second brother to Xijing, and my brother can also gather in Chang'an." Staying on this line in Shaanzhou is not much of a gain for me, but it makes you close to the tiger and wolf, the second brother. ”

Of course, Li Tong recognizes his grandmother's scheming and layout level, but it does not mean that there are no doubts. Like her grandmother who relieved herself of the post of Zuo Yulin's military guard this time, in exchange for Li Shouli serving as the assassin of Shaanzhou, Li Tong felt that it was very inappropriate.

At the beginning of his westward journey, he still had some plans to compete with the imperial court and race against time, but now that the imperial situation has developed to this point, no matter what measures the imperial court takes next, he doesn't have to pay attention to it anymore, he only needs to develop his own power with peace of mind, and wait until his fourth uncle collapses and then send troops eastward.

At that time, don't say that Shaanzhou is not in his hands, even if Tongguan is not in his hands, the imperial court will not have the strength to stop his eastward advance! It's just that the situation in Shendu has collapsed more tragically, and it's a big deal to rebuild in the ruins, just like Chang'an the year before last.

His grandmother's main intention in arranging this was not to pave the way for him, but not to worry about him, worried that he would kill all his uncles.

Li Shouli, as the assassin of Shaanzhou, seems to have an unimpeded road to the east of Taiwan on the surface, which is to tell Li Tong not to hold back what moths he is playing in Xijing. It seems to be creating an excellent opportunity for Li Tong, but in fact, it is also forcing him to give up other options.

For example, as Li Qianli suggested, he directly hijacked his third uncle into Chang'an, teamed up with his third uncle, and stopped playing with his fourth uncle.

If Li Qianli made this suggestion, Li Tong would have other concerns. But when his fourth uncle was rehabilitating Pei Yan in Chang'an, it was definitely much easier to welcome back his third uncle than to wave his troops to Shendu to get his fourth uncle.

But his grandmother arranged it like this, not to mention how the DPRK and China felt, Li Shouli stayed in Shaanzhou, and it was clearly an outpost in Xingtai, which would undoubtedly make Li Shouli's personal safety directly and seriously threatened.

Moreover, Zuo Yulinjun no longer guards Shangyang Palace, and of course it is impossible to return to the north gate. Xingtai did not have an official name to recruit Zuo Yulin's army, and these thousands of soldiers who had been guarding for a long time were reduced to embarrassing marginal people directly in Shendu, unable to find their own position and sense of existence, which greatly increased the possibility of being bewitched and used by careerists.

"My safety is not enough, and now the posture of the saint is clear that he cannot tolerate my brother, but if he can help one or two, I will not flinch!"

Hearing that the second brother could have such an awareness, Li Tong was also quite pleased, so he said: "The second brother is in Shaanzhou, he needs to live in a simple place, and he must not have frequent contact with the courtiers. The old thing Zuo Yulin army robe Ze, daily can be free to help, and those who want to travel west can be invited to send it. But if someone is conspiring with the DPRK and China, then don't deal with it again! ”

"Is the love of the court already dangerous?"

Seeing that Li Tong was serious, Li Shouli asked again.

"This is not a life that continues to die, what is the merit of Yihuo!"

Li Tong sighed after hearing this, and then said: "Yi Yin chased Taijia to welcome him, and Huo Guang abolished Changyi and established the first grandson." Since the Tang family got the business, the transmission has been orderly, although the queen mother is a little arrogant, but also the Holy Mother is in the court, how can there be a big decision on the ministers! Pei Yan's deeds are compared with the two, and the heart is already punishable. The saint is obsessed with this, dazzled by the name and the truth, and does not know what to keep! Once it is true, it is self-isolation from the ethics of the clan, then I and Luling will both enter a chaotic situation, and we will also be subject to several refinements! ”
