Although Zhao Yufu is the king of a country in the Dongnu Kingdom, her current foundation is unstable, and she is unable to deal with the conspiracy of domestic opposition forces and Tibetan careerists, Li Longji is her only lifeline, she believes that only the Tang Empire, which has millions of troops, can save her, so no matter what Li Longji asks, she will not object.

"Your Majesty Xie, if there are Tang Heavenly Soldiers stationed in the Dongnu Country, Tubo will not dare to act rashly, and the domestic rebels will also be deterred, so the ministers will be relieved, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses Your Majesty will send into the Dongnu Country?"

Zhao Yufu was very happy to agree to Li Longji's request to send troops.

Li Longji glanced at each other with several important ministers, and pursed his lips: "I will send five hundred elite soldiers and horses from the capital to escort the Queen of the East all the way back to China, in addition, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Jiannan Province are ready to enter the Dongnu Kingdom at any time, and the King of Chang can rest assured that my Tang Dynasty soldiers have strict military discipline and will never rob the people of their property, in addition, the supply of military food and military salaries is all from the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need for any burden from the Dongnu Kingdom." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yufu smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty, Li An is a young hero, last time he saved the minister's life outside the city, the minister felt that he was a talent, if he was allowed to escort the minister back to the country, it would be foolproof, and I implore Your Majesty to let Li An join the escort team." ”

The corners of Li Longji's mouth moved slightly, he has been an emperor for thirty consecutive years, and he has personally created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, he can be regarded as a very great emperor, nothing in the world can hide from him, and the important things in Chang'an City are naturally even more difficult to hide from him.

Some time ago, Li Longji would receive a report from Chen Xuanli every few days, and the Eastern Queen Zhao Yufu often summoned Ang Lee, and behaved intimately with Ang Lee, and there was no rudeness at all.

Li Longji was originally a little angry, but fortunately, not many people knew about it, and it did not cause any bad effects, in addition, through Zhao Yufu's actions, Li Longji believed that Li An must be a very fascinating young man, and only in this way could Zhao Yufu, who was in his prime, fall in love at first sight.

After meeting Ang Lee in person, Li Longji confirmed his speculation, and at the same time, he also valued Ang Lee more, and decided to give Ang Lee more opportunities to train and cultivate follow-up talents for the Tang Empire, and escorting Zhao Yufu back to the East Woman Country and helping Zhao R Fu stabilize the situation in the East Woman Country is a very good opportunity to exercise.

The struggle for political power is extremely dirty and cruel, Li Longji has experienced too much in his life, and he is deeply touched by this, but Li Ang is a fledgling boy, let him go to the East Women's Country to experience the power struggle, which is very beneficial to Li An's growth, and at the same time, it can also kill Li Ang's youthful arrogance, because Li Longji feels that with the complexity and danger of the political struggle, Li Ang will definitely not go too smoothly, and it is inevitable to be hit.

Li Longji smiled lightly, nodded and said: "Since King Guichang also thinks that Li An is a rare talent, then how can I not let him escort him, as long as I can make King Guichang feel at ease, even if I let him personally escort him, I will not refuse, haha!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to repay the minister, only to be loyal to Your Majesty in this life and this life, and to the Tang Empire."

Zhao Yufu was greatly moved, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Longji smiled with a smile on his face, stroked the beard on his chin, and said softly: "King Guichang will stay for a few more days, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City more, and on the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I will let Li An lead five hundred elite soldiers and horses to escort you home." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires."

Zhao Yufu bent down and saluted, and slowly withdrew from the Hanyuan Palace.

Watching Zhao Yufu leave slowly, Li Longji frowned, in his opinion, Zhao Yufu is too tender, and he is not an opponent of the domestic opposition forces at all, besides, the Tubo forces have entered the territory of the Dongnu Kingdom, this kind of internal and external joint force, even if he encounters it, it will feel very tricky, let alone a yellow-haired girl?

Li Linfu raised his eyes slightly, saw the worry in Li Longji's heart, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty, although Li An is young and heroic, he is a rare talent, but the internal situation of the Dongnu Kingdom is complicated, and the Dongnu royal family colludes with the Tubo people, and the strength must be very strong. ”

"Yes! Father, Li An is too young to experience political struggles, and his ability to protect the Eastern Queen from being harmed by assassins is sufficient, but if he is allowed to eradicate the royal family in the Eastern Female Country that colludes with Tubo and stabilize the situation in the Eastern Female Kingdom, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. ”

Qingwang Li Tan casually echoed a sentence.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Ang Lee is still too tender, how can a hairy boy like Ang Lee be responsible for such a crucial matter? It's too risky. ”

All the ministers don't trust Ang Lee very much, after all, these old ministers have experienced a lot of things, they affirm Ang Lee's intelligence and martial arts, but they don't think that Ang Lee can handle the affairs of Dongnu Country well.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Longji's mouth, and the reaction of the ministers was completely expected by him, after all, even he himself was skeptical of Li An's ability.

"What does the prince think?"

Li Longji knew that the crown prince had contact with Li An, and asked with a smile.

Li Heng was taken aback, and replied tremblingly: "The child believes in his father, since he decided to let Li An lead the troops to escort King Guichang, he must have arranged everything a long time ago." ”

Li Longji nodded lightly and said with appreciation: "What the prince said is right, what you Aiqing said is also right, I am also worried that Li An is too young to deal with the situation in the East Women's Kingdom, so I still have to send a few reliable ministers." ”

Li Linfu saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jiong is quite strategic, and he led his troops to defeat Tubo last year. ”

"Killing chickens with a knife, Chang'an makes Wei Jian thoughtful, and it is completely useful."

"Father, Sixteen Lang is willing to go to the East Female Country to share his father's worries."

Each of them had his own opinion.

Li Longji smiled, looked at the newly appointed waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Xi Yu, and said, "Xi waiter is in good health." ”

Li Yu understood and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister is still in good health, and he is willing to go to the East Woman Country to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Li Longji was very happy, got up and walked in front of Xi Yu, and praised: "I know that Xi Shilang is thoughtful, and he will definitely be able to complete this task. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that five hundred elite soldiers are not enough to deter the conspiracy forces in Dongnu's country, let alone to deter Tubo, can you give the old minister the right to mobilize some soldiers and horses in Jiannan Province."

Xi Yu frowned and asked cautiously.

He didn't think this was a good errand, if it wasn't handled well, he and the five hundred elite soldiers of the Tang Army would be buried in the territory of Dongnu Kingdom.

Li Longji smiled indifferently: "Xi Shilang doesn't have to worry at all, I will issue an order to let the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province approach the border of the Eastern Women's Country, and put pressure on the rebel forces in its country." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen understands."

Xi Yu accepted the mission with a helpless face.

Li Longji waved his hand lightly, signaling that the ministers could retire.

Li Linfu took the ministers to salute and leave, and slowly left the Hanyuan Palace.

At the moment when he walked out of the gate of Hanyuan Palace, Li Linfu glanced back, he found that he still couldn't fully see through Li Longji, this time, Li Longji pushed Xi Yu to the East Female Kingdom without warning, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was surprised.

Of course, as a qualified son of heaven, he should have a certain sense of mystery, which makes people unable to fully see through, so that he can better control his courtiers.

However, what made Li Linfu feel most uneasy was that Li Longji attached great importance to Ang Lee, and the affairs of Dongnuguo were so important that he was relieved and boldly handed over to Ang Lee, what a lot of trust this was.

Although Xi Yu is the person in charge, Xi Yu has a few catties and taels, Li Linfu knows very well that Li Longji asked Li An to assist Xi Yu, and what he values is Li An's ability, not Xi Yu's level.

And if this trend continues, Ang Lee's future prospects will be limitless, and maybe in a few years, there will be a threat to his position, and he will not be able to find a way to eliminate this threat for a while.

"General Chen stays, everyone wants to see you."

Yu Chaoen chased out of Hanyuan Hall and asked Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, to go and meet Li Longji.

Chen Xuanli was slightly stunned, he knew that Li Longji had something important and wanted to tell him alone, so he followed Yu Chaoen back to Hanyuan Palace.

"Your Majesty has something important, you have to explain it to the ministers alone."

Li Longji didn't beat around the bush in front of Chen Xuanli, and said straightforwardly: "I think about it, I am very worried about Li An leading five hundred soldiers and horses into the territory of the Dongnu Kingdom, Li An is young after all, he doesn't have much experience, he is not as old and stable as you, so I want you to personally lead five thousand dragon martial forces to follow, and when necessary, you can provide support to Li An, in case something happens to Li An and Xi Yu, you can mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao to enter the Dongnu Country with my holy decree, and you know what to do later." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister understands."

Chen Xuanli didn't drag his feet and immediately responded.

"Okay, you get ready as soon as possible! Li An: They set out on the sixteenth day of the first month, and you set off on the seventeenth day of the first month, one day later than them. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister retires."

After arranging the next move, Li Longji felt much more relieved, this time, in order to deal with the sinister situation in the East Women's Country, he thought about it for a long time and also formulated a number of response plans.

To put it simply, it is actually two sets of ideas, one is to outwit, and the other is to take by force, outwitting can obtain the maximum gain with the smallest loss, and the loss of force is relatively much larger.

Li Longji prefers to outwit and decides to let Ang Lee carry out the task of outwitting, after all, Ang Lee's performance in Ulzhou has opened his eyes, and saving Zhao Yufu on the outskirts of the capital reflects Ang Lee's bravery, and the detection of Yue'er's kidnapping case further shows Ang Lee's wisdom.
