"His Royal Highness? What are you doing here? Xiao Wang is far away! ”

Hearing that Li Yu had come to visit, Long Teng was not so surprised.

When I didn't know Li Yu before, Longteng actually didn't like Li Yu. But now that he knows Li Yu's true identity and the marriage has been decided, he naturally won't object.

And in terms of noble status, Li Yu, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty today, is also a prince himself, and he is still much stronger than Long Teng, the prince of Nanzhao Panzhi.

Now that he is in the realm of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally does not dare to slack off on Li Yu.

"Prince Longteng, this king is here today for business." Li Yu made his intention clear, so as not to misunderstand the other party.

"Business?" Long Teng was a little puzzled, what kind of business did Li Yu need to inform?

He has also been in Chang'an for several months, and he also has a certain understanding of some things, that is, Li Yu, as the third prince, has no possibility of competing for the throne, or little hope.

Li Yu hesitated, "This king is just passing a message to Prince Longteng on behalf of his father, and Nanzhao has undergone a big change. ”

"What's changing?" Seeing Li Yu's face, Longteng realized that it might not be good news.

"The monarch of your country, as well as the entire Nanzhao Meng's royal family, have all been killed." Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said.

"What?" Longteng stumbled, obviously a little unconvinced, and then suddenly grabbed Li Yu's shoulder, "Are you joking?" You can't joke about it. ”

Li Yu also felt a little uncomfortable, but this is indeed a fact, "This king didn't laugh, this was more than half a month ago. Zheng Maisi suddenly arrested the entire Mengshi clan and brutally killed them in the palace in front of the monarch of your country.

In the end, the monarch of your country may not be able to accept this and choose to hang himself.

There are more than 800 people in the Nanzhao clan, and none of them in Nanzhao have been spared. This means that Prince Longteng, as well as Qing'er and Ming'er, the three of you are the only three survivors left in the Nanzhao clan.

The future of Nanzhao is on you, so I hope the prince can cheer up. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

Thinking that now the Nanzhao royal family is left with his father and son alive, Longteng's mood can be imagined. Seeing Longteng kneeling on the ground, Li Yu, who didn't have this kind of experience, couldn't understand it, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

In the end, if it hadn't been for the fact that time had passed, he might still have been standing there awkwardly.

"Prince, now that Zheng Mai has killed the monarch and usurped the throne, Duan Baolong casually supported a folk child as the survivor of the Nanzhao clan as the emperor.

For the sake of his father, the king asked the prince to enter the palace, and asked the prince to clean up as soon as possible and enter the palace with the king. ”

In addition to grief, Long Teng remembered that there was still a national hatred and family hatred, if he didn't cheer up, what would Nanzhao do?

Soon, under the leadership of Li Yu, he went to Daming Palace.

As for the reason for going to Daming Palace, it is also very simple, in the case of Zheng Maihei being the emperor and Duan Baolong setting up a new monarch, Datang also needs to support a force of its own in Nanzhao.

Soon, Li Ye ordered the canonization of Long Teng as the king of Nanzhao and the new king of Nanzhao.

However, this also means that Nanzhao nominally became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor.

In order to envelop the ministers and generals loyal to the Nanzhao royal family, Li Ye asked the Jinyi guard to escort Long Teng to Nanzhao and ascend the throne as king in Shanxian Mansion, and by the way, announced to the old department of Nanzhao that this was the orthodox king of Nanzhao.

Of course, Shun Huaming and Shun Huaqing still remained in Chang'an, under the name of studying, but they were actually hostages.

However, at the same time as the establishment of the new army, Li Ye ordered to change the extension, nongdong, and Tonghai to the Yunnan Governor's Mansion (Zhongdu Governor's Mansion), and improve the Interpretation Mansion to Kunming, as the station of the Yunnan Governor's Mansion, and Wang Jian as the first governor.

As for the Zhennan Governor's Office, Yue Changxu served as the governor's office, and Liu Lin temporarily managed it, and after the war was over, Yue Changxu would take up his post again.

The Yunnan Governor's Mansion and the canonization of the King of Nanzhao before and after, this undoubtedly also explains the intentions of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Long Teng was canonized as the new king of Nanzhao, this also made Nanzhao have no autonomy, just like the original Silla.

But in any case, Nanzhao was divided into three.

"Father, there is something I don't understand."

As the prince, Li You naturally began to participate in court politics, but now he is in the learning stage. When he canonized Long Teng as the king of Nanzhao and decreed the establishment of the Yunnan Governor's Mansion just now, he was also present, but he never spoke.

Now that there is no one else, Li You can't hold back the doubts in his heart.

"What's wrong with You'er?" Li Ye smiled.

"Father, since my father intends to turn Nanzhao into the land of my Tang Dynasty, why do you want to canonize Longteng as the new king of Nanzhao, and also let the other party return to Nanzhao.

Are you worried about whether it will leave hidden dangers? Li You asked.

"Why the hidden danger?" Li Ye also wants to take the test for this eldest son.

"Back to my father, my sons have also read a lot of books in recent days, including the historical books of my Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao and my history of the Tang Dynasty and Silla, and I have found a problem.

That is, when we helped the two countries unify the country, at first both countries were subordinate countries of our Tang Dynasty, but within a few decades, they were unwilling to accept the rule of our Tang Dynasty and raised troops to make rebellion.

My father often said that history should be learned, and his sons felt that for today's Nanzhao, should we cut off future troubles, so as not to leave hidden dangers? Li You was rarely decisive.

Li Ye nodded in his heart, he was quite satisfied that Li You could think of this, and it seemed that he had made progress.

"It seems that You'er really read the relevant historical books." Li Ye said with a smile, "You'er is right, if you continue the practice of the Xuanzong Dynasty, there is indeed a great hidden danger."

But You'er may have forgotten a problem, more than a hundred years ago, after Nanzhao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and established itself, he wantonly purged the influence of our Tang Dynasty in Nanzhao, including relocating Han people to feudal towns far away from the border of our Tang Dynasty.

Now the war in Nanzhao has reached a stalemate, and it is currently a situation where three families are divided. At this time, we need to send troops in the name of the Nanzhao royal family, so that we can gain a foothold in Nanzhao, and the resistance to the war will be much smaller later.

It was expedient to appoint the king of Nanzhao, and after conquering the entire Nanzhao, there would naturally be other methods.

Father, to give you another example, it's like we are hunters, and a tiger falls into a trap and is seriously injured.

Do you think that at this time, we, as hunters, should jump into the trap to kill the tiger and then get the tiger up? Or wait for the tiger to die on its own, and then we will find a way to get the dead tiger up? ”

Li You fell into deep thought, and after a while he raised his head and said, "If you jump into a trap and kill the tiger, it is very likely that the tiger did not kill it, and it will take your own life."

Father, the emperor, and the sons chose to wait for the tiger to die, so that we, as hunters, would not pay too much price, at most for a while longer. ”

Li Ye nodded with satisfaction, "That's the truth." Nanzhao is like the dying tiger at this time, we don't need to be anxious, after it is completely dead, how to deal with the tiger, then let us be. ”

"Erchen understands, thank you for your father's teaching!" Li You got up and saluted Li Ye and replied respectfully.

At this moment, after reporting, Li Jian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, hurriedly entered.

"What's the matter?" Li Ye asked as he blew on the tea.

"Back to Your Majesty, just now there is news from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate that Qin Guogong led the Anxi army to defeat the 70,000 Uighur cavalry of Xizhou in the territory of the Zhongyun Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

More than 40,000 people were killed, more than 16,000 were captured, and Yizhou was captured. In the end, Li Jian was also a little excited.

Hearing the news, Li Ye held the teacup in his hand, was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "This Liu Kui really didn't disappoint me, this is good news." Not bad, not bad!

Zhang Wei, Message. Ten pieces of jade, twenty pieces of Jingdezhen porcelain, and 1,000 pieces of brocade were sent to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning. In addition, from the Huangzhuang in Hubei Province, 800 acres of fertile land were selected to the Changning Princess's Mansion. ”。

"The old slave commands!"

And Li Ye was smiling and drinking the hot tea in the cup, in a good mood.
