"Your Highness must have gained a lot today."

After all, Zhang Cambodia is a wise man in the world, and because he was too worried earlier, he failed to discover Li Xian's hidden calculation in time, but after thinking about it, he already understood the key to the matter, and when Li Xian Shi Ran turned back to the study, Zhang Cambodia was already very determined, and even had the mood to ridicule Li Xian.

"It's okay, well, let's put it this way, at least for three months, the one in the palace won't have the heart to harass the palace for the time being."

The harvest is naturally there, and Li Xian didn't expect to be able to bring down Empress Wu with a handful, what he wanted was just a temporary peace, but now after such a fuss, it is an indisputable fact that Empress Wu's authority is shaken, and what is even more terrible is that Li Xian successfully lit the fire of doubt in Gaozong's heart, which is enough for Empress Wu to be busy for a while, so that Li Xian is given the precious time needed to strategize, which can be said to be worthwhile, of course, calculating this thing is not a very bright thing after all, Li Xian didn't want to put it on the table, so he just smiled and said haha to reveal the matter.

"Three months? Time is still running out. ”

As Li Xian's absolute confidant, Zhang Cambodia naturally knows where Li Xian's breakthrough in launching the war is, and these days, he has not made any pre-arrangements for this matter, and at this time, he was quite excited to hear that he could have a buffer time of three or more months, but he only counted it, but he felt that there was less time.

"It's okay, it's a big deal, and then the palace will go and set a fire."

The buffer of these three months is an unexpected harvest, if it were not for the momentary negligence of the Empress Wu, Li Xian would have to beware of the tricks of the Empress Wu from time to time, in this regard, Li Xian is content and happy, and he will not be as "insatiable" as Zhang Cambodia.

"Your Highness is very calculating, so you are not afraid of provoking that person......"

The best thing about the martial arts queen is calculation, she has always been the only one who calculates others, and there are really few times when she is calculated, from Gaozong to the later queen Wang, Xiao Shufei, and the famous eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, which one is not killed by its yin, even if it is a wise man like Zhang Cambodia, he does not dare to underestimate him, and Li Xian dares to release such a bold statement, which really makes Zhang Cambodia laugh dumbly, but before his words are finished, the corner of his eye suddenly saw Gao Miao, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, poking his head out from behind the screen, and then stopped talking.

"What?"

Seeing that it was Gao Miao probing his brain there, Li Xian's brows immediately frowned, but he didn't get angry, but just said with a hint of displeasure.

"Your Highness, the king of Persia, Belus, with his eldest son, Nineshi, has come to pay respects, and I ask your Highness to make it clear."

As soon as he heard that Li Xian's voice was wrong, Gao Miao didn't dare to be the slightest slack, so he hurriedly rushed to the front, saluted respectfully, and hurried to make a report.

"Oh?"

The Persian king Belus is the exiled prince of the Persian Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty before last, when passing through Hexi, Li Xian had set up a banquet to entertain him, and he knew the intention of this person to come to pay respects, and he was just thinking about lobbying, so that Li Xian could help persuade Gaozong to send troops to help him restore the country. Not only for the rich minerals hidden in that land, but also for the intention of preventing the eastward spread of barbarian religion, but in Li Xian's plan, this matter must wait for it to stabilize the domestic situation at the earliest, before there is a possibility of action, therefore, when he was in Hexi, Li Xian had clearly rejected Belus's request to invite him to send troops, and only sent a light cavalry to escort him to Luoyang to meet Gaozong. Li Xian was really hesitant for a while.

"Go, just say that His Highness has rested, let them go back."

As a confidant, Zhang Cambodia knows Li Xian's grand strategy of dominating the world, but he doesn't agree with it from his heart, in his opinion, ensuring the stability of the domestic political situation is the top priority, as for those wild places, what difference is there between taking it or not, especially at this delicate moment when he is about to start a competition with Empress Wu, it is better to have more than one thing less, seeing Li Xian hesitating there, Zhang Cambodia's brows immediately wrinkled, glanced at Gao Miao dissatisfied, raised his hand, and shouted impatiently.

"No!"

Don't look at Zhang Cambodia now only hanging the title of the master of the East Palace, but he is just a petty official from the fifth grade, but Gao Miao knows that Zhang Cambodia can definitely be the master of the East Palace.

"Wait."

Before Gao Miao walked to the screen, Li Xian's eyes flashed, and he had already stopped.

"Your Highness, you ......"

Although Li Xian had not yet given any orders, Zhang Cambodia had already guessed Li Xian's thoughts, and he was in a hurry, he didn't want anything extraneous to happen at this time, and as soon as he raised his hand, he wanted to make a direct admonition.

"Sir, don't worry, this palace knows in his heart, and he can't make a mistake."

Zhang Cambodia's thoughts Li Xian was very clear, but Li Xian had his own opinions, and he was not angry because of Zhang Cambodia's offense, he just smiled and gave a promise, and then, he didn't give Zhang Cambodia a chance to speak again, and waved his hand at Gao Miao and said, "Please invite them to the study." ”

"No!"

Li Xian, the main master, spoke, Gao Miao did not dare to delay much, after answering the promise, he hurriedly withdrew from the study, and after a few moments, he had already accompanied the two high-nosed and deep-eyed Persians and turned back - two Persians, one old and one young, both wearing Tang Dynasty official uniforms, the old man was about fifty years old, his face was haggard, and he looked extraordinarily old, the young one was less than twenty, tall and burly, handsome and extraordinary, these two were the father and son of the Persian king Belus.

"Wechen Belus has sent a greeting to His Highness."

Belus has been to the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, and he was named the general of the Right Weiwei, which is also a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, but it is just a false title, and he has no power to participate in politics and discuss politics in the upper dynasty, that is, to give a name, and he will be raised in the Imperial Court, but Belus himself is the heart of the restoration of the country is immortal, several times he asked Gaozong to send troops to help, all of them were refused, and he ran to the powerful in many ways, but there was no result, this time to find Li Xian, it was his last fight in desperation, and he did not dare to lose his manners in front of Li Xian. As soon as he turned the screen, he immediately rushed to the front and made a big bow very respectfully.

"The king of Persia doesn't need to be polite, you and I are old friends, please sit down and talk, come, watch!"

Li Xianxu raised his hand, motioned to Belus to flatten his body, and said very gently.

"His Royal Highness Xie raises his love, and Weichen will be presumptuous."

Belus and Li Xian actually only have one side of the relationship, it has been more than a year since the beginning, and I am really afraid that Li Xian has already forgotten about himself, this seeing Li Xian treating him so gently, Belus's hanging heart is finally a little looser, and after thanking him, he sat down at the bottom end, and his son stood proudly behind him.

"Is the king of Persia still used to living in Luoyang?"

Although Li Xian had guessed Belus's intention, he didn't intend to say it, but put on a homely posture with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Xie cares, it's okay, it's okay, the prosperity of Luoyang is the only thing to see in the life of Weichen, the generosity of Chengtian Khan, the Weichen is flawless, it is indeed able to get by, but the heart of the homeland, all difficulties are at ease, such a gentle life is really not what Weichen wants, if you can get the help of the Tang Dynasty, in order to restore my land, I Persia is willing to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty forever, loyal to the world, this heart also hopes that His Royal Highness will be fulfilled."

Belus is straightforward by nature, although he has been in the Tang Dynasty for a few years, and he has spoken Chinese very smoothly, but he has not been able to learn the subtlety and prudence of Confucianism.

"The king of Persia has a heart, but his father has already made a decision on this matter, and it is not the palace that can put his beak."

The Persian Gulf is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is quite out of reach, Li Xian does not dare to say that the entire Persian Gulf can be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all that can be done is actually colonization, and this requires the support of a puppet regime, in this sense, the Persian king and his son are undoubtedly an excellent choice, Li Xian will not easily miss it, but now the time is not yet ripe, Li Xian does not intend to bring out his own plans and entrust, so he smiled and rejected Belus's request.

"Ah, this, this ......, Your Highness, Wechen, Wechen, Wechen......"

Belus also knew that it was difficult to win Li Xian's support, but he still had a glimmer of hope, after all, Li Xian's reputation for bravery and belligerence was famous all over the world, and when he heard Li Xian refuse his request so simply, he couldn't help but be anxious.

"The king of Persia is not in a hurry, this matter is not non-negotiable, but it is ......"

Li Xian can let Belus enter the door of the East Palace, which is naturally to be used for it, but it will not be easy to obey his wishes, and the guanzi that should be sold is naturally a good life to sell it.

"Ah......, if Your Highness is willing to do it, Weichen will be a cow and a horse and repay His Highness's great kindness......"

Belus was already heartbroken, but when he heard the words hidden in Li Xian's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart, and he exclaimed, and the person had already fallen to his knees on the ground, kowtowing and begging like pounding garlic......
