"Your Majesty, Chen Longteng has lived up to the holy order, and returned smoothly from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty."

Nanzhao, in a Nanzhao royal garden outside the city of Yangtho, as the emperor of Nanzhao, Shun Huazhen, is hunting.

There is no way, if you don't choose an unnoticeable place, Longteng suddenly appears in the palace, which can easily attract the attention of Zheng Maihei.

"Uncle Huang, what's going on?"

Shun Huazhen called Long Teng aside and hurriedly asked.

"Avoidance, the Tang people promised to form an alliance with us, but there are conditions."

"On what terms?" Shun Huazhen asked.

Long Teng hurriedly explained those conditions, and said them in detail, and especially emphasized that this was required by the Tang Emperor.

"What? The Tang people also demanded the return of the Tang territories that had been conquered for nearly two hundred years? How much is this? "Shun Huazhen doesn't know much about this.

The cronies' faces were not very good-looking, and they said in a low voice, "Back to Your Majesty, if you count it in the last two hundred years, nearly half of the country's territory. ”

"So much?" Shun Huazhen frowned.

"It's all land close to the Tang Dynasty's Sichuan Dao, Qianzhou and Annan Protectorate, and those are all the rivers and mountains that the emperors of the Nanzhao dynasties have worked hard to build, Your Majesty is cautious." Cronies apparently did not support the cession of land.

Even if it is supported by Datang, but if you lose so much land, there will be many people in Nanzhao who are dissatisfied.

"Uncle Huang, in this condition, we can admit it to the Governor's Mansion of Huichuan, but is it okay not to cede other territories?

Including removing the emperor's name and serving the Tang Dynasty; marriage; I can even agree to grain and grass, but it is really inappropriate to cede the land. Shun Huazhen also disagrees with this a little, it is nearly 20% of the country, which is not small.

"This..." Long Teng was a little puzzled, "Back to Your Majesty, the Tang people's requests must all be agreed, otherwise they will not ensure that they will cooperate with Zheng Maihei." ”

"What?" Shun Huazhen was a little annoyed, "How can the Tang people be so shameless? I am the monarch of Nanzhao, and he is just a powerful minister. ”

This makes it difficult for Shun Huazhen to ride the tiger, if it really leads to the cooperation between the Tang people and Zheng Maihei, then their Nanzhao royal family will really lose hope.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we can only agree to the conditions of the Tang people, otherwise... The cronies hesitated for a while and persuaded, "Let's not talk about the problem that His Highness said, without the army of the Tang people, close to the soldiers and horses of the Bagan Kingdom and Duan Dudu, there may not be a chance of victory." ”

"Your Majesty, aren't there many troops in the Bagan Kingdom?" Shun Huazhen hesitated.

Shun Huazhen shook his head, "The Bagan Kingdom is at war with the remnants of the Fat Kingdom, and there are not many troops that can be dispatched, only fifteen thousand people.

There are only 10,000 people on Duan Dudu's side, and it is difficult for such a force to hit Yangtho City. ”

"Your Majesty still wants to form an alliance with the Tang people? But what about the land? Longteng was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks you might as well agree first. It's a big deal, we don't admit it later, we only promise to give more grain and grass materials, and the land just recognizes the Huichuan Governor's Office. The cronies suggested.

"Is this appropriate?" Shun Huazhen hesitated.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation has been decided, and the Tang people are guest troops, so they can't help but agree." The cronies are in the underworld, and they clearly want to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, this will inevitably annoy the Tang people, if the Tang invade on a large scale, what will the Nanzhao at that time do to resist the Tang army?" Along the way, I saw the prosperity of many cities of the Tang people, which had been affected by the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

"Won't His Highness start speaking for the Tang people because of the marriage between the county lord and the Tang people?" The cronies did not forget to ask for credit at this time, turned to Shun Huazhen and said, "More than a hundred years ago, nearly 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty forced Taihe City, and in the end the whole army was annihilated.

Later, I Nanzhao was able to capture many cities in the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Hui, the ancestor of Zheng Maihei, was captured by Nanzhao at that time, and was later appointed as a Qingping official.

It can be seen that the Tang people are not very powerful, they are not familiar with the climate of Nanzhao, and Your Majesty does not need to worry. "March Chinese

"Your Majesty, the national strength of Nanzha is weak now, so you must not be like this." Longteng was a little anxious.

Shun Huazhen was a little impatient, "It's so decided, could it be that Uncle Huang really began to consider the Tang people because his daughter married into the Tang royal family?" Don't forget that the imperial uncle is the prince of Nanzhao, not the prince of the Tang people.

For the sake of safety, the imperial uncle stayed in Yang Tho Baa City during this time, and as for the marriage, I will send others to discuss with the Tang people. ”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... ”

Seeing that Shun Huazhen insisted on going her own way, Long Teng was also a little anxious, but the preconceived Shun Huazhen could not listen to his advice.

The quarrel here attracted the attention of one of Shun Huazhen's entourage, and although he didn't know why the quarrel was, he still quietly passed on the matter afterwards.

At first, Zheng Maisi didn't take it to heart, and the little emperor did have a bad temper during this time.

But not long after, someone below told him that Longteng had been missing for a few months, which made him a little puzzled.

"Missing for a few months? What do you mean? How could such a living person, or a prince, have been missing for a few months and only reported it now? Zheng Maihei's face turned angry.

The people below were also a little scared, and said, "Xiangye, at first, we didn't notice that Long Teng was not in the palace. It wasn't until we went to check this time that we bribed a subordinate of the Longteng Palace, and we learned that Longteng had been absent from the palace for a few months before and had only returned in recent days. ”

"Not in the palace for a few months? He's a prince, where can he go? Thinking of Long Teng also attending that palace banquet a few months ago, and arguing with Shun Huazhen a few days ago, Zheng Maisi always felt that something was wrong, "Send someone to find out and see what actions Long Teng's palace has made in recent months, Long Teng will definitely not be able to leave alone."

Let's see if he went to the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, or Duan Baolong. ”

If Zheng Maisi is still afraid of anyone now, it is Duan Baolong, who he failed to get rid of, the other party has an army in his hands, although it will not reach the capital, but it is also a threat.

If Shun Huazhen is not honest, he will definitely send someone to contact Duan Baolong and use him as foreign aid.

So Zheng Maisi's first reaction was that Longteng might have gone to Duan Baolong.

But I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

There are so many people in Longteng Mansion, they will definitely not all be loyal to Longteng, and under the coercion and temptation of Zheng Mai's heirs, someone really confided in Longteng's whereabouts.

Although this person didn't know what Long Teng was going to do, he knew that Long Teng went to Chang'an, and he also knew that Long Teng's daughter Shun Huaqing stayed in Chang'an to marry.

This undoubtedly surprised Zheng Maihei.

disappeared for a few months, it turned out that Longteng went to Chang'an, and he didn't have to think about it, and it was also the will of Shun Huazhen.

"Come on, since the little emperor wants to die, we will fulfill him." Zheng Maisi said angrily.

"Xiangye is angry."

The people under him hurriedly persuaded, "Xiangye still has a big enemy that has not been eliminated, so it is not appropriate to force the palace to seize the throne at this time." ”

"What other enemies are there?" Zheng Maisi said unhappily.

"Minister Yang Deng!"

Hearing this name, Zheng Maisi calmed down.

The first emperor Longshun was killed by Yang Deng, although Zheng Maisi played a lot of roles in it, but Yang Deng also had a certain strength.

If you force the palace at this time, it is difficult to ensure that this guy will not come out to make trouble.

Zheng Maisi gritted his teeth, "Then leave the little emperor alive, and solve Yang Deng first, and then clean up the little emperor." ”
