Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hundreds of Civil and Military Officials, at Your Disposal
Under this mistake, Pei Min relied on Wang Wei's extraordinary painting skills and the coincidence of the bad gambler brother Shuhan, and in less than a day, he had already found out the person behind the black powder.
Knowing that the mastermind behind the scenes was Byzantium, which had a deepening relationship with the Tang Dynasty and was an offensive and defensive alliance with each other, Pei Min did not act immediately.
At this point, he can't make his own decisions, and he must inform Li Longji about this matter.
This is a matter of the country's foreign policy, and he cannot call the shots alone.
When Pei Min found Li Longji, Li Longji was eating.
As an emperor who is playful by nature, because of the ambition in his heart, he has always restrained his playful nature.
Shangyuan Festival is a day for the monarch and the people to enjoy together, Li Longji has just completed a big event, and he has this natural opportunity to have fun, how can he not grasp it.
All night, he played on the Ziyun Tower, all night.
The invitees are his most important confidants, relatives of the emperor and some important ministers who are not so strict and rigid, plus the heroes of Liyuan, who are reluctant to rest until dawn, and make an appointment to meet again today.
During the three-day celebration of the Shangyuan Festival, Li Longji was also on vacation, and he didn't need to go to court, he slept beautifully until this dusk, if he couldn't stay hungry, he wanted to rest for an hour, until the arrival of nightlife.
Hearing that Pei Min was coming, Li Longji was overjoyed, "Quick, call him in!" ”
Seeing Pei Min enter the main hall, Li Longji swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The biggest hero last night was not there, and Ziyun Tower was missing something." Jingyuan is filial piety, and I care about my family the most, and I don't force you to come. I can't run tonight, I'm going to get drunk with you. ”
Early yesterday morning, Li Longji sent someone to invite Pei Min and his family to go to Ziyun Tower for a night tour. He knew Pei Min's temperament very well, and he didn't force it, but he didn't come.
Xiao Qi and Xiaoba still don't understand the world, with Li Longji here, the game is not happy enough, and Pei Min refuses.
Compared with nesting in Ziyun Tower, it is obviously more comfortable and interesting to visit the temple fair last night, guess the lantern riddles, watch the dragon dance and lantern sea, and put flowers and trees to tour the Qujiang River.
Invited again today, Pei Min couldn't refuse, so he promised to come down.
There is no way to avoid this man's necessary entertainment, whether it is modern or ancient.
Thank you Li Longji first, Pei Min is about to talk about Li Zhiying.
Li Longji smiled strangely: "I heard that Xuan Xuan was also with you last night?" No wonder I invited her, but she didn't come! The emperor was also worried that Xuan Xuan would have an accident, but I knew that there was Jing Yuan, and no one really had the ability to hurt Xuan Xuan. ”
He already knew that Pei Min's swordsmanship was superb, and after the Spring Festival night banquet Pei Min was the Lion King of the Western Regions. has more confidence in him, and only regards him as the world's number one hero and bearded guest in the past.
"How!"
"Xuan Xuan didn't cause any trouble to Jingyuan, right?"
The strange smile on Li Longji's face continued, and so did the questions.
Pei Min hurriedly turned the topic to the right and explained the situation to Li Longji in detail.
Li Longji's original half-truthful expression became solemn and serious, plus angry.
Li Longji has the same heart disease as his father Li Dan in this regard.
Li Dan is the master of the mean, but how can someone who can survive under Wu Zetian's prying eyes be easy?
Li Dan's brainless protection of Princess Taiping is not to play any checks and balances. If he really wants to be attached to power, he will not give up the throne to Li Longji when he is in his prime. He has seen too much of the killing brought by power, and all his brothers' relatives and clans have almost been killed by Wu Zetian, leaving only Princess Taiping, the only relative.
What Li Dan has experienced, Li Longji has basically experienced.
It was in that bad situation that their brothers and sisters loved each other and encouraged each other to get through.
For Li Zhiying, Li Longji has the same feelings as Li Dan for Princess Taiping.
Li Zhiying has no desire for power, if he has a certain ambition, even if he can't become Princess Taiping, he will be a big man with a heavy fist.
In history, Wang Wei and Li Bai have all befriended Li Chiying.
is because Li Zhiying has no power in his hands, and Li Longji will not obey her words.
Let whoever is the champion be the champion, and whoever is promoted will be promoted!
When Li Longji heard that Li Zhiying had been threatened, Huo Ran got up and said: "The envoy of the Whisk Kingdom is so vicious, on the surface, he has formed a brotherly alliance with me, and treats me with brotherly courtesy everywhere, but he actually did such a thing behind his back, how can it be reasonable. ”
No wonder Li Longji is so angry.
In addition to the successful completion of the tasks of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, the greatest gain of this visit was the friendliness of the Byzantine Empire.
The attitude of the Arab Empire can be seen at a glance, the Tang Dynasty does not want to fight with it at this time, and the Arabs do not want to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
But both sides know very well that although the world is big, there is no room for two overlords.
There will be a battle between each other, and it is only a matter of time before it is when.
The long-distance and close attack was the diplomatic defense that the ancient Chinese believed in the most, and the Qin Dynasty relied on this to become the hegemon of the six countries and even dominate the world.
Byzantium and the Tang Dynasty did not have a clear conflict of interest, and at the same time they had common enemies with each other, the Arabs.
In this beautiful situation, the contact between the Tang Dynasty and Byzantium this time is like dry firewood, which can be called a blend of water and milk.
Byzantium regarded the Tang Dynasty as a brother and treated it with the courtesy and understanding of an elder brother.
But he didn't want to call them brothers, so he stabbed them behind his back, and Li Longji was only angry.
"Your Majesty, this news was informed by Mosley Massa!"
Pei Min could understand Li Longji's mood, and he was just as angry. Just let the anger get carried away, and fall for the Arab tricks.
Li Longji instantly calmed down when he heard "Mosley Masa".
After this New Year's party, this Li Jiazaburo has a great understanding of the situation in the West, and in his eyes, Arabia is the only fierce enemy.
"This is a naked conspiracy!" Li Longji looked at Pei Min with a solemn expression.
Pei Min said: "There are many birds in one stone, no matter how we deal with it, the relationship between my Datang and Fu Lak cannot be like today." Not only that, but once our relationship with Fu La, the river is going down, and the relationship between Tuqi Shi and us will also turn from safe to dangerous. Turgish was already in a tight hug with Whisk. There is friction on the border, and the relationship between our countries is only afraid that it will turn hostile. Although we are not afraid of whisking, we are not afraid of rushing to ride Shi, but the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits! ”
Li Longji said in a deep voice: "It makes sense, but I can't swallow this breath!" If the country of Fu Lak does such a thing, if I am indifferent, I will be the king of the Tang Dynasty and the brother of Xuan Xuan in vain. If you want to think of a perfect way, you can't let the fishermen of the big food country benefit, and you can't cheapen the country of Fula. Can this be done in the distance? ”
"As long as Your Majesty hands over this matter to the minister, the minister promises to satisfy Your Majesty!" Pei Min smiled and said, he is here to ask for power.
Li Longji looked at Pei Min in surprise, his expression turned from anger to joy, and said, "Okay, this matter will be handled by you." As long as there is that need, the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division can be dispatched by you. ”
