After a brief exchange of pleasantries, greetings, and courtesy of each other, the room fell silent. Li Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, Xiang Zhen immediately became nervous, this time the summoned drama meat really began!

"I'm extremely unhappy about this time." Sure enough, as soon as Li Ze opened his mouth, he gave Xiang Zhen a dismount. "It even makes me very angry."

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Zhen said in what he felt was the most sincere: "Li Xiang, I didn't know the truth of this matter until I arrived in Wuyi, and in this matter, Xue Ping Gao Xiangsheng not only deceived you, but also coaxed my father. ”

Xiang Zhen said sorry to Xue Ping in his heart.

Anyway, this person has already been exiled to a place that can't be far away, and if he has a few black cauldrons on his back, Li Ze won't cut off his head, just let him be wronged!

"Gao Xiangsheng has risen to Lingnan, representing Li Xiang, and Xue Ping and Gao Xiangsheng are both important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and we have always thought that this matter was approved by Prime Minister Li." Xiang Zhen said: "Although my Xiang family lives in Lingnan, but the heart of loyalty to the country is not forgotten for a moment, Zhu Wen is self-reliant, my father also wants to immediately raise troops for the Northern Expedition, but there are also a number of uncertain festivals in the middle, they and my father are colleagues, if the name is not right, it is not good, plus Lingnan is avoidant, the strength is not strong, if you want to go to the Northern Expedition, but you need to unify the entire southeast force to be feasible. If this happens, Xiang will definitely do his best to go to the soup. ”

Li Ze raised the corners of his eyebrows: "If it weren't for this fact, it would be beneficial to the country, and Xue Ping would not just be exiled." ”

"Li Xiang, although Xue Shangshu has made mistakes, but in his heart, he is still dedicated to the country, and he doesn't know ......" Xiang Zhen felt that it was more reasonable to intercede for Xue Ping in a timely manner.

"Xue Ping was exiled because he exceeded the rules, there are no rules, how can it be a circle? How can you lift it up and put it down gently because of your heart? Li Ze said coldly: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, if everyone does their own thing, the family will not become a family, and the country will not be a country!" ”

"Li Xiang is right." Xiang Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eyes.

"But it's generally good." Li Ze changed his color again, and said: "Now the pseudo-Liang is moving south, Shannan East Road, Shannan West Road are under the pseudo-Liang soldiers, and they will collapse at the first touch, and the pseudo-Liang is moving south, which is an indisputable fact, and this year, the northeast of the imperial court rejected Zhang Zhongwu, and the northwest refused to Tuluo fire, and the two battles were fought down, and they were exhausted and urgently needed to recuperate for the people. ”

"So, did Li Xiang agree to this marriage?" Xiang Zhenxi said.

"If you don't agree, how can you sit here and be my guest!" Li Zezhan smiled and said.

"Li Xiang is broad-minded, he is really a good minister of the country, and the Tang Dynasty has Li Xiang, but the ancestors have spirits, so that the Tang Dynasty will not be overturned." Xiang Zhen sighed with emotion: "Recovering Chang'an on another day, on the Lingyan Pavilion, the portrait of Li Xianghuang is indispensable." ”

"What hangs on the wall, let's wait until I'm dead!" Li Ze laughed: "Only by covering the coffin can we make a conclusion." ”

Xiang Zhen was shocked, and he couldn't speak.

"Du Yuhou, Your Majesty is still young...... Li Ze said.

"Li Xiang, Your Majesty is thirteen years old this year, fourteen years old, and the daughter of the family is two years older, even if it is an ordinary family, it is time to talk about marriage. What's more, at this time, my father thinks that His Majesty's wedding at this time should have a great effect on boosting the morale of the world, and at the same time, it is also the heart of millions of people in Lingnan! Xiang Zhen said.

"You mean, get married right away!"

"Not next year at the latest!" Xiang Zhen said: "As Li Xiang said, now the pseudo-Liang is very urgent to the south, and it will take time for us to integrate the southeast. ”

"Yes." Li Ze said lightly: "But there is one thing that should be said first, even if Your Majesty gets married, it will take time for the pro-government." ”

"This is natural." Xiang Zhen said with a smile: "To tell the truth, my father is not worried that His Majesty will listen to the government at such an age, and with Li Xiang in charge, we can be more assured." ”

"That's very good." Li Ze nodded and said, "When Du Yu waits for the return to the south, we will also send someone to greet our relatives." Xiang's family has become a relative of the emperor, and it is also one with the country, and it is natural for Jia En to be crowned, Xiang Shuai will be promoted to the king of the county, and Du Yu Hou will also be promoted to the marquis. At the same time, it will also give Xiang Shuai a title to control the southeast Zhujie Town. That's all we can give for the time being. How far you can go is up to you. ”

"Thank you, Lee Sang!" Xiang Zhen is very happy, the name of the prince of the county is all false, and the control of the southeast Zhujie Town is the real benefit. With this name, the Xiang clan can give orders to other festivals and towns in a righteous and bright manner, and those who disobey can raise troops to ask for it, and with the emperor's will, they can do anything in the name of righteousness, and occupy the moral high ground among the people and gentry, and it is much more convenient to act.

It's not that the Xiang clan hasn't thought about doing this before, with their strength, it's not difficult to do this, but it's always because they don't have this official hat on their heads, and they shrink back when they do things.

"But!" Li Ze's words changed, "Since the Xiang clan respects the imperial court, then the imperial court must also make this clear to the world, so it is necessary to send officials to Lingnan." ”

Xiang Zhen was surprised: "Li Xiang, the official of Jiezhen, has always been the self-determination of Jiezhen!" ”

Li Ze's face was slightly cold: "Du Yuhou, can you see what the situation is under the rule of the imperial court now?" ”

"Li Xiang, Lingnan's current comprehensive implementation of the imperial court's political strategy is not yet mature, and at this time, we need to work together and respond to every call!" Xiang Zhen said eagerly.

"Don't worry, I naturally know this." Li Zedao: "The imperial court will send officials in the name of the consolation envoy, but they are only responsible for collecting and supervising the style, and do not intervene in actual affairs. Of course, the yamen still has to be erected. Otherwise, how can it be proved that Lingnan has been served by the Wuyi court? ”

Although he knew that it was a nail, since Li Ze said that the officials sent did not intervene in international affairs, Xiang Zhen also felt that it was not unacceptable.

"Of course, Du Yuhou, there is one thing you have to be clear, Xiang Shuai also needs to be clear, cutting the feudal town is the established strategy of the imperial court, Xiang is a relative of the emperor, on this point, I hope to be able to reach an agreement with Xiang Shuai in the future." Li Zedao.

"Yes, on this point, after I go back, I will naturally explain it to my father."

"Good. In addition to sending a consolation envoy, Wuwei Qian Zhuang will be stationed in Lingnan, and Lingnan can no longer mint coins on its own, and can only use the coins of the imperial court. Li Zedao. Supply and marketing cooperatives will also set up branches in Lingnan to transport economic exchanges between the two places. ”

"Xiang Zhen can't make decisions about these things, he can only go back and report to his father before making a decision!" Xiang Zhen was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, after all, this is a big deal, and it needs to be negotiated slowly." Li Ze said lightly: "Speaking of which, now we can only be regarded as cooperating, and one day, after we destroy the pseudo-beam, some things can be put on the table to discuss." ”

"Lee Sang-young-myeong." Xiang Zhen arched his hand and said: "These things are related to the economy and people's livelihood, once you are not careful, you will have endless disasters, you should be cautious." ”

"At that time, there will be important ministers of the imperial court who will personally go to Lingnan to welcome their relatives, and then talk to your father in detail!" Li Ze waved his hand and said, "There has to be a charter." ”

"Yes!" To the truth.

As long as he is not forced to agree now, his father's political wisdom and political skills cannot be compared with him, and he may be able to come up with a way to deal with it when the time comes.

"I have one last thing." Li Ze's tone became stern. "Presumably Du Yuhou also knows about Qin Zhao's dismissal and Jin Shiyuan's imprisonment, right?"

"I've heard a little." Xiang Zhen's head jumped, this one thing was the last thing he wanted to face, because this matter, they couldn't explain it clearly, and they couldn't get rid of it.

"Two thousand Zuo Xiao Guards! But he was falsely reported to be killed or disabled, and he falsely received a large amount of pension to fill his pocket. Li Ze said angrily: "If it's just corruption, it's fine, but these people are preparing to go somewhere in a systematic way." ”

Li Ze forced his eyes to look at Xiang Zhen, and Xiang Zhen lowered his head weakly: "I really don't know about this matter." ”

"It doesn't matter if you know it now." Li Ze waved his hand: "I won't worry about this matter ruining the big thing of our alliance." But two thousand people, we only intercepted one thousand people, and the other thousand people, presumably they have arrived somewhere now, this matter, I want to hand it over to Xiang Shuai, this thousand people, I need them to return to Wuyi. ”

"Xiang Zhen did his best to do this."

"Okay, so be it, I have other things to attend to." Li Ze waved his hand, "For some specific matters, you can contact the Ministry of Rites, and I will summon you again after the specific regulations come out." ”

"Yes!" Xiang Zhen stood up, bowed to the young man in front of him, took a few steps back, and then turned and walked out of the house.

Zhang Xun, who was holding a pen in the corner of the house, put down his pen, shook his wrist and said, "Li Xiang, do you really think that Xiang Xun will send these people back?" ”

"Of course he won't."

"Then why did Li Xiang want to hold this matter up?" I can't understand the truth.

Li Ze laughed: "This word is used well, this is a small tail, when you need to use it, you can take it out and pull it." ”

The chapter is abrupt.

"If there is advantage, it will be combined, and if it is not profitable, it will be divided. At the moment, the alliance is two-by-two, but there are always times when there are conflicts. Li Ze sighed: "I really want to unite with us, but what about his father, let's just say two." But whoever can rise to become a town, who doesn't have a strong confidence in himself? And Xiang Xun has made remarkable achievements over the years, not to mention. ”

"His granddaughter is in our hands!"

"Is that a big deal for him?" Li Ze sneered: "He has several sons and a lot of grandchildren. ”
