After breakfast, Li Guang left the palace first and went to the imperial city to carry out some personnel handovers, while Li Tong stayed in the palace to meet Guo Yuanzhen.

Not long after, Guo Yuanzhen came to see him, his posture was dignified and polite, and he respectfully bowed and said: "Servant Guo Yuanzhen, return from the king's foreign envoy and knock to see His Highness." ”

Li Tong put down the file in his hand, lowered his eyes to look at Guo Yuanzhen and said with a smile: "Guo joined the army to sow Weibo soil, and his meritorious deeds are quite impressive." ”

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he didn't have much smugness on his face, and he still paused: "A few days ago, I was happy to hear that His Royal Highness broke the thief Qinling in Qinghai in Tibet. ”

"There is a difference in the difficulty of doing things, the Heyuan soldiers and the masses help, and the thieves are of course. The Tibetan enemy territory is alone and helpless, and it is still worth boasting about being able to direct the deacon and create something. ”

Many things are easy to say, but the most difficult thing is to break through from zero to one. It seems that there are many opportunities to go deep into the enemy territory, but in reality there is nowhere to focus, after all, as an outsider, the personnel are completely unfamiliar, and it is very difficult to directly interact with a person in the upper echelons of the regime.

Regarding this point, Li Tong was deeply touched, he was confined in the inner garden of the Shendu in the old years, even in order to meet his grandmother, it took so much trouble and more than half a year.

This time he sent Guo Yuanzhen to Tubo, he didn't plan for Guo Yuanzhen to have any breakthrough creation in the Tubo Realm, but more to give Guo Yuanzhen a chance to experience, so that he could have a deeper understanding of the enemy's situation and use it as a reserve for future experience.

As a result, Guo Yuanzhen's guy not only had no time to run, but he actually abducted a princess from the Fan Kingdom, which was really an unexpected surprise. Therefore, Li Tong did not hesitate to praise it, some people can do their duty well, they can be called conscientious, and some people can create more pioneering work on top of the ministry, which is a direct embodiment of ability.

Li Guangshun said that he wanted to make plans for Guo Yuanzhen, and Li Tong certainly understood this truth. But he also understands that truly talented people need a certain degree of freedom to do things.

The current environment is the soil for cultivating talents, and the amount of the monarch determines the upper limit of the growth of talents, such as An Lushan, the emperor of Dayan.

Of course, this is just a joke, but in the normal relationship between the monarch and the minister, the king's bearing can indeed determine the final achievement of the courtier. If Wei Huo and his ilk were born in the world of Huan Ling, I am afraid that it would be difficult to achieve such great achievements.

Guo Yuanzhen is not a person who follows the rules, Li Tong has long understood this, although he is not completely connived, but he will not be constrained by ordinary standards. The relationship between the monarch and the minister is a dynamic run-in process, if the subordinates use a thousand people, not to mention that this is impossible, the growth of the camp will be locked in the first place.

"Let's talk about your trip first, what is the princess of the Fan Kingdom like?"

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Li Tong spoke again.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he hurriedly told it, not only to simply narrate, but also to talk about some of his own feelings and views. For example, the reasons behind the trade of Tang and Tibet, the situation of Tuqiang people in western Sichuan, and the context of the infighting among the magnates of the Tibetan State.

Guo Yuanzhen's words were detailed and insightful, and after listening carefully, Li Tong was tantamount to having a personal experience, and had a clearer understanding of the civil affairs of the country and Tang Dynasty.

Li Tong also agrees with some of Guo Yuanzhen's views. People with the same appearance, different patterns and different endowments will come to different conclusions.

When he heard that Guo Yuanzhen was in the Tibetan region to incite the Tibetan army to fight against those folk businessmen through rumors, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh, he treated Guo Yuanzhen differently, not only because he was famous in history, but also because of their views on some things and even the way they handled them.

In previous years, Di Ren made outstanding patrols in the south of the Yangtze River and made great achievements in rectifying people's livelihood, but Wu Zetian did not have a high evaluation of this. But it wasn't until he vigorously destroyed the Jiangnan Obscene Temple that he praised him for having the talent of a prime minister. This is not to say that Wu Zetian has no regard for the people's livelihood and has no benevolence, but that the integration of ideology is undoubtedly a higher standard than the people's livelihood.

Of course, Guo Yuanzhen's behavior can't reach that height, but he can make good use of environmental resources and collect other effects on the premise of doing things well, which Li Tong appreciates very much.

However, he has already given Guo Yuanzhen a lot of praise for this trip, so he will no longer praise this matter specifically, lest this guy's little tail swing again.

"The reason why the servant can marry the daughter of the Chen clan of the Fan Guochen clan is the current princess of Chizun in the Eastern Regions, and there are more plots by the king of the attached land. He has a deep friendship with the powerful families of the Tibetan State, and bribes to survive......"

Speaking of this, Guo Yuanzhen still couldn't help but be a little cautious, of course, what he said was indeed the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that the king of the attached land strongly recommended the daughter of the Chen family to be wooed, where would he go to know that there are such strange goods to live in the country of Fan.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he dared to say anything before leaving, things would have been done like this, and Guo Yuanzhen wouldn't have to be worried. Affinity or not, that is the strategy of the country of Tibet itself, what does it have to do with him Guo Yuanzhen, his responsibility is to understand the domestic situation in Tibet and provoke internal strife in Tibet, which has been done well.

But he had a big mouth, saying that he wanted to hire a girl for His Royal Highness King Yong, and now he is a prophecy, but he needs to prove that he is not deliberate.

Li Tong didn't care much about Guo Yuanzhen's little entanglement, regardless of whether the country was a country or a local Qiang, he still had to integrate into the big family of the Central Empire in the end. What kind of background is not a problem, the key is to see what value this character can play. Of course, he doesn't have any plans to expand his territory and expand his harem by the way.

He doesn't have such an idea, and it doesn't make much difference to him whether the princess or the prince will vote for the country. If Guo Yuanzhen can abduct the Queen Mother of Tubo and the Lu clan into the Tang Dynasty, it will naturally be better, isn't it just a kiss, he recognized the grandson of Zampu.

However, when he heard Guo Yuanzhen tell a little about the identity of the princess of the Tibetan Kingdom, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little emotional, only felt that this life experience was vaguely similar to himself, and he had some interest in this so-called Tubo princess.

People who can suffer in such a situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and isolated and helpless must not be vulgar. Regarding his choice to vote for Tang, Li Tong deeply understands.

When everyone around you, including the overall environment, is full of malice towards you, people are prone to a pessimistic and self-destructive idea, and voting in Tang may not be better than staying in the country, but at least it is a revenge for those who have malicious intentions.

It is said that Li Tong was still planning to go to the Turks to play tricks in the deep palace, but it is a pity that the Turks are too uncompetitive and did not create this kind of opportunity for himself, so he has to suffer step by step and become the current minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he also calculates to completely kill the Turks.

Then, Guo Yuanzhen carefully stated his thoughts on the two monks and their respective recitations, saying that even if the Fan Girl came to vote in the name of Heqin, as long as she carried out some operations, it would never have any impact on His Royal Highness's reputation.

Li Tong didn't blame Guo Yuanzhen for this, he paid more attention to the attitude of the Qin Ling of the Fan Kingdom in this matter, and after a little silence, he continued: "So, the Fan girl gave up the old leader to Qin Ling, and Qin Ling didn't accept it, and cooperated with the Fan royal family to nuisance me?" ”

"It's hard to find out the truth, but as far as we know at the moment, including Princess Chizun's own situation, it should be so."

Guo Yuanzhen replied after hearing this, he didn't dare to express his opinion too much, after all, His Royal Highness King Yong has his own judgment.

"Heh, the first battle in Haidong seems to be not enough to extinguish its fierce flames, and this old boy seems to be determined to continue to die in Qinghai."

Regarding Guo Yuanzhen's plans for the Tubo royal family, Li Tong didn't pay much attention to it, it was still too far away after all. At present, the enemy that Daxingtai is really facing is, after all, the Qinling Tomb that stays in Tuyuhun's hometown.

"If the country of Tibet is disturbed by this, there will inevitably be a plan to lay out, and Longbian may work hard again. After all, this is the trouble brought by the girl, so what is the real benefit of her entering the country? ”

Li Tong has been thinking about how to play poor with the imperial court during this time, although he is not afraid of war externally, but the current situation of the war in Daxingtai is indeed avoidable.

That Fan girl enters the country, if Qin Ling takes advantage of this to raise troops in Qinghai again, don't mention other riot operations, Li Tong really plans to send this Fan girl directly to Qinghai, don't make a noise, your princess will bring it back by herself. When Lao Tzu wants to clean you up, that's Lao Tzu's business, so that he won't be in a hurry with you because of a woman.

As for face or something, if you really want to kill Qinling, capture and kill Zampu, and sacrifice Qianling, you naturally have face, by the way, laugh at his fourth uncle, you are nothing, the foundation of the Tang family has to rely on me, and you will be cleaned up if you give way late. As for everything else, it's all nothing.

"The country of Fan takes the eastern realm of Kangyanchuan as the eastern region of the Eastern Regions Chizun Princess Tang Muyi, and the characters all enter the country with the master. However, the western Sichuan realm is vertical and horizontal, and all the soil and Qiang, and the barbarians live scattered and mixed, and it still takes a long time to apply it. ”

Hearing His Royal Highness's question, Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly said again.

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be even more dissatisfied: "The barbarian Qiang people in western Sichuan are originally my Tang Dynasty fetters. How can it be reasonable for the country to use my assets as bribes! I should tell the court accordingly, Suo Tu clearly discerns where the western Sichuan belongs, if it is really sure that it is my Tang territory, the court should send an envoy to reprimand, and Daxingtai also needs to repair the sword armor to prepare for the soldiers! ”

Whether the princess of the Fan Kingdom is a family member or other purpose is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. But the state of Tibet is not ashamed to encircle the territory of western Sichuan privately, I can't bear it, it depends on what the imperial court means.

Li Tong was not worried that the imperial court would take advantage of the situation to order Daxingtai to send troops to declare sovereignty, anyway, he did not intend to have a good relationship with Tubo, and the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, which is also the proper meaning. As long as you can keep this autumn's tribute a little around, everything else is easy to say.

"Then the princess of the Fan Kingdom, has Your Highness not seen it?"

Guo Yuanzhen had just returned to China, and he didn't know the specific situation of Daxingtai, and seeing that His Royal Highness was so angry, he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, and hurriedly asked for instructions again.

"Arrange to enter Beijing on a certain day, and see you first. If the court has a dispute over this, send it to the capital in due course. ”

Li Tong groaned slightly after hearing this, and then said. The focus of his consideration is still the issue of autumn endowment, if the imperial court is still blindly focusing on money and food, hollowing out the big platform, and the rest is not asked, then he will use this princess of the Tibetan country to make things bigger, so that the court can't suppress public opinion.

Although Guo Yuanzhen didn't know what he was trapped in, he heard that His Royal Highness didn't bother with the name of the princess of the Fan Kingdom entering the Tang Dynasty at all, and the characters were used calmly, and when it came to reversing black and white and confusing the key points, he was still inferior to His Royal Highness after all.
