[Start to check the national strength value of the week]

[Check the current national strength value of the Tang Empire: 1285 (↑)]

[Bonus host lifespan 15 years, current host lifespan: 36 years]

[The specific source of the increase in national strength, please check it by yourself]

Li Cheng lay on the dragon bed with a dead face, feeling that he had nothing to love.

It takes a lot of effort to lift a finger.

The chest rises and falls, like an asthma attack.

He laboriously clicked on it.

The blue screen in front of him suddenly changed.

[The details of the national strength improvement are as follows:]

【People's Heart +2】

[Security +2]

【Prestige +5】

【Expansion +5】

【Shock Enemy +1】

What's going on here?!

Who the hell is doing it!

If he finds out that someone is playing tricks, he has to kill that person!

He didn't know what was going on with the people's heart, prestige, public order, and intimidation of the enemy country.

But there is still a frontier expansion that can be pursued.

Could it be that the Eastern Crusade army has won?

No way!

Even those crooked melons and cracked dates can still expand the territory, and he can eat this dragon bed.

Since it can't be an Eastern Crusade army......

Then it can only be an army of guards from other directions!

Thinking of this, Li Cheng's face became gloomy, his fists were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Father-in-law Xu, come in!" ”

Bang dang.

The door opened.

Gonggong Xu hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is here." ”

"I ask you, who is in charge of the three sides of the border, southwest, south, and south?"

Li Cheng's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at Gonggong Xu, so frightened that the other party's legs were shaking.

It seems that standing in front of Gonggong Xu is a flood beast, fierce and mighty.

Gonggong Xu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the south and north of our Tang Dynasty are endless oceans, and there is no one to guard them at all, only the Yiliang area in the west is guarded by the king of Zhenxi. ”

When Li Cheng heard this, information suddenly flashed through his mind.

Li Ming, King of Zhenxi......

His own brother.

After the predecessor succeeded to the throne, he was transferred to the Yiliang region and guarded the western border of the Tang Dynasty, and he was a prince.

Under the possibility that it is impossible to expand the territory of the southeast and the north, it is also possible for the west.

"My great brother! That's a long job! ”

Li Cheng gritted his teeth.

It hurts to think about his inexplicably increased life span of 15 years.

Everything in his big brother's pot!

Another day, we must concoct this big brother well, this hatred, he Li Cheng remembered.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, Gonggong Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Your Majesty is angry! ”

Neither Li Cheng nor Gonggong Xu noticed that outside the Longyin Palace, there was a eunuch lying by the window eavesdropping.

Because the eunuch came late, he only heard the last sentence that Li Cheng said, 'My good big brother! That's a long job! The rest was not heard.

The eunuch's eyes flickered slightly, and he withdrew to the outside.

……

Far away on the western border of the Tang Empire.

Yiliang area.

The Most Central Law Enforcement Division.

A man in a black dragon suit looked at the letter scroll in front of him, his face was extremely ugly, and he said viciously: "It seems that Li Cheng, the emperor, is really not a faint monarch." ”

A Confucian scholar next to him said flatly: "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”

"See for yourself."

Li Ming, the king of Zhenxi, took the letter scroll to the Confucian scholar and said coldly: "Li Cheng obviously already knows that Master Shen was sent by Lone. ”

"Originally, I was expecting Master Shen to become the henchman of the Dog Emperor and then take the opportunity to raise troops, but now it seems that everything will not work, why don't we raise troops now?"

The Confucian scholar glanced at the letter scroll, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

I didn't expect the current emperor to have this talent.

Through some clues, you can tell that Master Shen is their person?

Could it be a coincidence, but it's not actually about it?

It shouldn't be possible......

Otherwise, how could the emperor shout for no reason: 'My good big brother! That's a long job! ’。

In this way, the emperor probably knew that the king of Zhenxi wanted to rebel for a long time.

So what's next......

What are the odds of raising troops?

The Confucian scholars calculated that most of the people in the court still support the emperor now.

If you start an army at this moment, the chances are too small.

He told his prince the result.

Li Ming, the king of Zhenxi, frowned and said, "Could it be that we can only wait quietly for death?" The Emperor already knows about our intentions, and if we continue to wait, we will only die! ”

The Confucian scholar shook his head and said, "No, although the emperor now knows about our intentions, most of the military power under his command has not been withdrawn, and he may not be able to command those generals, and we only wait for the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army." ”

"As long as the Eastern Expeditionary Army is defeated, the emperor will inevitably lose his prestige, and when the time comes, he will fight for the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, which is justified!"

There was a deep pride in his tone, as if he was very proud of his approach.

When Li Ming, the king of Zhenxi, heard this, he felt reasonable, and immediately wanted to praise him.

But I haven't praised it yet.

A soldier came running quickly and said loudly, "Lord Wang! The Crusade has already yielded preliminary results! ”

King Zhenxi frowned and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are helping me every day?" ”

He immediately took the battle report and read it, but when he saw it, he almost didn't roll his eyes and fainted.

"Lord Wang! What happened to you! ”

The Confucian priest hurriedly walked over.

"Angry...... I also! ”

Li Ming's chest rose and fell in anger, and he handed the letter scroll to the Confucian scholar.

The Confucian took a look, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

In the first battle of the Eastern Crusade, Han Yu led 100,000 soldiers, and without spending a single soldier, he took Tianying Pass, which is equivalent to conquering the gate of Dongyi Kingdom!

According to the reason for the inquiry, it seems that because the Tang Emperor had sent secret agents into the Tianying Pass, and then was accidentally known by the Dongyi Kingdom, the Dongyi Kingdom was afraid of its secret agents, so it took the initiative to give up the Tianying Pass.

What and what is this......

The Confucian heard vaguely, but he had a sense of confusion.

Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

It's not easy!

He turned his head to look at his lord again.

Compared with the unpredictable methods of the Tang Emperor, his own prince is mediocre.

If the Tang Emperor is mediocre and incompetent, it is okay, and there is still a chance to win if he raises an army.

But now......

A twinkle flashed in the Confucian scholar's eyes, and he felt that it was time to save himself a hand.

The top priority is to stabilize first

"Lord Wang, don't worry, even if something goes wrong in the Eastern Crusade...... But we can think of other ways too. ”

He said, feigning deep thought.

Li Ming, the king of Zhenxi, instantly seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, you are the number one strategist in the Yiliang region, and you will definitely be able to find a good way." ”

The Confucian scholar nodded and said, "Lord Wang, I can't find a good way here, I'll go back first and think carefully." ”

Li Ming agreed, promising that as long as the Confucian scholar came up with a way, he could give him anything.

The Confucian scholar naturally agreed, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

It's a pity that His Majesty is the king today.

Not the king of a defeated country.

Otherwise, this prince of his own family can be the emperor reluctantly......

It's a pity, alas.
