"Father, I ......"

"Okay, understand your identity, don't be delusional, go rest!"

"Yes, father. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gao Yue pursed her lips and turned to leave.

"Gao Fu, prepare the frame and go back to the palace overnight."

"Yes, General."

Although the night curfew system in Chang'an City is extremely strict, Gao Lishi's identity is also extremely special, and no one dares to stop his frame.

Li An's current status is not high, but he is an official who worships the captain of the Right Longwu Military Academy, and is more familiar with the soldiers who patrol at night, even if he encounters them, he is not afraid, besides, Li An has made such a great contribution this time, it is inevitable to be added to the rank of knight, and who dares to touch this mold?

'Strange, it's been more than a month since Zimu Dao broke the Tubo border army, how can the reward not be awarded, and the administrative efficiency of the Tang Dynasty is too slow! ’

Li An complained in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, he should never be able to run, it should not be his own, it was useless to force it, he made such a great contribution in the Dongnu country, and the emperor could not give a reward, just wait slowly.

As for how to explain to Li Longji when the assassin was released, Li An could only admit the facts first, and then fool Li Longji with empty words to promote the favor of the Tang Dynasty and influence the remnants of the Five Edicts.

###

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, reclined on the dragon chair, pondering while looking through the folds.

This time, Ang Lee made great contributions to the Dongnu Kingdom, which made him very happy, but now, several ministers have written to impeach Ang Lee, saying that Ang Lee deliberately let go of the assassin who assassinated Yu Chengjie and attempted to collude with the remnants of the Five Edicts, which made him very irritable.

Li Longji still attaches great importance to Ang Lee, after all, Ang Lee has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty at a young age, as long as he cultivates it well, he will definitely be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

And now, what do these successive impeachments show, is it true, or is Ang Lee too in the limelight, making the ministers of the court and the central government jealous?

"General, do you believe these impeachments are real?"

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi and asked softly.

"Everyone, the old slave doesn't know, but Captain Li is in the capital, everyone can be summoned to the palace and ask in person, so as not to misunderstand."

Li Longji nodded lightly: "This Li An is a rare talent, I like it very much, but he is still too young, he doesn't know how to do things, and he always has to make some mistakes from time to time, and the sword still needs to be sharpened a lot!" ”

Obviously, Li Longji believes that this matter must be true, after all, so many ministers have played impeachment, it can't be a joint slander! Without the most basic evidence, how could these ministers have the audacity.

"What everyone is saying is that Captain Li has made so many contributions at a young age, and he will be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the future, a young man! It really takes a lot of training to become a talent. ”

Li Longji smiled lightly, and suddenly remembered Zhang Qiu and Qiong's twists and turns, yesterday, after Li Linfu left, he carefully read the twists and turns, Zhang Qiu and Qiong at the end of the twists and turns, bitterly explained the serious consequences of handing over the pacification of the rebellion to Nanzhao, and strongly recommended Li An to be responsible for countering the rebellion.

At the beginning, Li Longji was angry and did not think deeply, but after calming down, he realized that the suggestions put forward by Zhang Qiu and Qiong were also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Qiu and Qiong did not consider it comprehensively enough, and did not consider the complex situation that the Tang Dynasty is currently facing.

The Later Turks, Tubo, Khitan, Xi people, and Zhenguo, these strong nomadic forces, seriously restrained the living force of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty was unable to tilt more strategic resources to the south, and the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, who was responsible for the defense of the southwest, only had 30,000 elite border troops under his command, and these 30,000 border troops were mainly used to contain Tubo.

If it is in Jiannan Province, a large-scale military expansion war, it is necessary to use a large number of war reserve materials hoarded in Jiannan Province, and even call on the power of the capital, so that the financial pressure of the Tang Empire will become even greater.

What worries Li Longji the most is that the location is in a mountainous area, the terrain is very complicated, and it is not enough to put in 20,000 or 30,000 horses to quell the rebellion in such a complex terrain, and moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are not good at fighting in rugged mountains, and their combat effectiveness in the mountains will also be greatly weakened.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji has to consider all aspects that are naturally different from those of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, which is the fundamental reason why he wants to rely on Nanzhao to help quell the rebellion.

'Li An went south to the Dongnu Kingdom and passed through Yizhou, and had contact with Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and Zhang Qiu and Qiong recommended Li An to quell the rebellion in the song, could it be that this was discussed between the two of them, Zhang Qiu and Qiong's views on the planing land have been clearly expressed in the song, what is Ang Lee's opinion? ’

In the afternoon, he was going to summon Yu Chengjie, the second prince of Nanzhao, and at that time he would show Yu Chengjie his attitude towards the king of Yunnan to ask for war, and before that, Li Longji felt that it was necessary to meet Li An first and listen to Li An's opinion on this matter.

"Xuan Li An enters the palace."

"Yes, everybody."

Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, Li An jumped off the war horse, and after checking his identity, he led the horse into the Daming Palace, and on the side of the dismounted bridge, Li An tied the war horse, and followed behind a little eunuch, and walked in the direction of Zichen Palace.

"Captain Li later."

The little eunuch said and rushed to the Zichen Palace.

Li An stood outside the Zichen Palace, admiring the surrounding scenery at will, it was not the first time he had come to the Zichen Palace, and he was still relatively familiar with the environment here, but the last time he came, it was a snowy winter, but this time it was a hot summer, the time was half a year apart, and the seasons were completely reversed.

In winter, the flowers and trees here are covered in snow, and it is a world covered in snow, but at this time, it is full of life and green.

'The palace is so nice, the environment is beautiful, and there are so many people waiting, no wonder so many people want to be emperors. Li Anxin slandered, but he never dared to say it.

"Captain Li, Your Majesty let you in."

Hearing this, Li An hurriedly walked into the Zichen Palace, and saw Li Longji squinting his eyes at the folds, and Gao Lishi beside him was also drooping his eyelids, not looking at him at all.

"Your Majesty."

Li An knelt on one knee and saluted Li Longji.

Li Longji gently put down the fold and looked at Li An: "Captain Li's trip to the Dongnu Kingdom this time, to ensure that the king of Chang is unharmed, to dig out the domestic traitor of the Dongnu, to capture alive the Tubo Da Argument Wuzhi Guo, the first battle of the mother and the mother, the annihilation of the 20,000 border troops of Tubo, and the killing of the Tubo prince Lang Zhidu, have made such a great contribution, but I have never ordered a reward, I must be very complaining in my heart!" ”

Li An hurriedly said: "As a courtier of His Majesty, it is his duty to share his worries for His Majesty, how dare he ask for a reward, besides, there is not much difference between receiving a reward a day earlier and receiving a reward in case a day, and the minister believes that His Majesty will not forget the meritorious deeds made by the minister, and the reward will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Haha! Captain Li is quite good at talking, and I am sure that I will be rewarded according to merit, but there are some things that I have to ask Captain Li first. ”

"Your Majesty, please say, the minister knows everything."

Li Longji nodded, picked up a few pieces of the fold casually, handed it to a little eunuch beside him, looked at Li An, and asked, "Captain Li should take a look for himself first!" ”

The little eunuch carefully sent a few twists and turns to Li An, and put them in Li An's hands.

Don't look at it, Ang Lee also knows the content of the twist, there is a minister who impeached him for secretly letting go of the assassin who assassinated Yu Chengjie, which Gao Lishi had already told him last night.

Li Jian looked at a few copies of the recital, lowered his head and did not speak.

"Captain Li, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Li An scratched his forehead, pretending to be surprised: "Your Majesty, only Weichen and a few cronies know about this matter, how can these ministers know these things when they are in the capital?" ”

"In this way, Captain Li admits it."

Li Longji's face turned cold, and he stared at Li An with a serious expression.

"Wechen didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, and indeed a few assassins were released by Wechen after being captured alive."

Li An knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it bluntly.

"Captain Li is frank enough, let's say it! Why did you let the assassins go, they are most likely the remnants of the Five Edicts, and they are the enemies of my Datang. ”

Li Longji asked.

Li An pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already interrogated these assassins, they are indeed the remnants of the Five Edicts, and they are extremely hostile to my Datang. ”

"In that case, why did Captain Li let them go?"

Li Longji admired Ang Lee's honesty and courage, but at the same time, he was even more puzzled and didn't understand what Ang Lee thought.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, killing a few remnants of the Five Edicts will not change their continued hostility to the Tang Dynasty, let alone help the King of Yunnan solve the internal troubles, after all, the Ministers have also heard that the King of Yunnan did a very disgraceful thing when he unified the Six Edicts, Songminglou burned the Lord of the Five Edicts to death, but at the same time, it also ignited the anger in the hearts of the people of the Five Edicts, which is the fundamental reason why the remnants of the Five Edicts have been fighting against the King of Yunnan for many years.

If Weichen escorts these assassins to the capital, or hands them over to Nanzhao, they will inevitably be executed, and in this way, the remnants of the five edicts will put this account on the head of my Datang, and hate Datang even more, which is extremely unfavorable to Datang's Jiangshan Sheji, for this reason, Weichen is courageous, and he is moved by these assassins, and he knows that he is reasonable, and persuades them not to make meaningless sacrifices, go back and persuade his companions, live in peace, and don't come to assassinate again, the effect is really good, and on the next road, The frequency of assassination by the Assassins was significantly less, and after Chen Cang Road, no Assassins were encountered. ”

Ang Lee said a lot of information in one breath.

When Li Longji heard this, he thought about it for a long time, stroked his chin and beard, and praised: "Captain Li is far-reaching, but I have misunderstood you, haha!" It's just a few little minions, and it's useless to kill them, and this matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, Captain Li, you came from Shuzhong, you should know a lot about the matter of the land, tell me your opinion!"

Li Longji asked straightforwardly.

Li An frowned and thought for a moment, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, rebellion is a trivial matter, and if Nanzhao is allowed to dispose of it with full authority, it will be extremely unfavorable to Datang." ”

Li Longji was slightly stunned: "Go on." ”

"Your Majesty, there are more than 10 people in the land and the strong, each in its own way, it can be described as a piece of scattered sand, the strong and powerful have only thousands of troops, and together they are only tens of thousands of people, which does not pose a serious threat to my Tang Dynasty, and the king of Yunnan is strategic, after the unification of the six edicts, there are more than 50,000 troops, if he is fully responsible for counterinsurgency, once the rebellion is suppressed, the king of Yunnan will guard the land and not withdraw the army, and the land will be owned by Nanzhao, and my Datang will lose this area forever."

"Captain Li doubts the loyalty of the King of Yunnan to me?"

Li Longji asked coldly.

Li An shook his head lightly: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, no matter how loyal the king of Yunnan is to Your Majesty, but after all, he is the lord of a country in Nanzhao, and he is my foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty, so he can't be guarded against." ”

"The land is my Tang Dynasty's fetters, even if the king of Yunnan has the intention of embezzling, does he dare to do this? Isn't he afraid of my million-strong army? ”

Li Longji was slightly proud.

Li An smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, although there are many soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, the territory is extremely vast, and there are too many places that need to be defended. ”

"This ......"

Li Longji was stunned, if Pi Luoge really occupied the land and did not leave, and offered part of the spoils very respectfully, Tian shamelessly asked to merge the land into Nanzhao, he was really not easy to do, if he agreed, the interests of the Tang Dynasty would be lost, but if it really turned its face, the war with the Nanzhao would be inevitable, in this way, the Tang Dynasty would really be attacked on all sides, and the strategic concept of uniting with the Nanzhao to fight against Tubo would also be completely bankrupt.

Nanzhao was the little brother cultivated by the Tang Dynasty, and Li Longji was the last thing he wanted to meet with Nanzhao's soldiers, and in order to jointly fight against the strategic concept of Tubo, the loss of the remote and confined territory of the land was also within the tolerable range.

Seeing that Li Longji was deep in thought, Li An continued: "Your Majesty, the land is a piece of loose sand, and they have deep grievances against each other, but this time they are united to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and the same pace is a bit abnormal, it seems to have been discussed in advance, and it seems that it is not an easy thing to let these people who usually have grievances sit down and discuss, there must be a black hand behind it. ”

"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes that Captain Li is talking about?"

Li Longji felt that Li An's words made some sense, and looked at Li An with interest. (To be continued.) )
