By the time Li Huaitang finished washing the dust and appeared in the palace with a neat appearance, most of the courtiers had already left work. He was led by the eunuchs to the side hall, where the emperor summoned important ministers.

There must be something on the yellow calendar in Li Huaitang's mansion that it is not appropriate to go out today.

Old acquaintances meet again.

Li Huaitang and An Lushan met in the imperial city.

At this time and then, An Lushan was smiling, without it, the nobleman came.

I'm sorry, get out of the way, I don't know you!

Li Huaitang's expression was cold. If you don't draw a line with him at this time, when will you wait?

Balls! Don't give face? Okay, then don't blame me Lao An!

An Lushan brand is never fuel-efficient, dare to rebel, of course, the displacement is not ordinary, and the temper is not ordinary.

Since then, who hasn't been in awe when he sees him? Not being polite? The fanaticism encountered when he entered Luoyang City is still in his ears, except for Li Huaitang in the world, oh, and that monster Zhang Jiuling.

It just so happened that Zhang Jiuling was also present, and nodded to Li Huaitang as a greeting.

In the hall, there was a lot of movement, and the emperor seemed to be arguing with several ministers about something, and he was very angry.

Soon, several ministers withdrew with sad faces. Among them, there is Guozi Sacrifice Wine Wuzhong, and the rest of Li Huaitang does not know him. However, the official uniform is of high quality, and the pure purple and purple color is equipped with a goldfish bag around the waist.

What made Li Huaitang inexplicable was that these high-ranking officials seemed to hate themselves very much, and when they passed by, they all glared.

What's wrong? Could it be that I have been given a green hat?

The answer didn't come, the prince came.

"Minister Zhang Jiuling meets the prince!"

Zhang Jiuling took the lead in kneeling to the prince.

Li Huaitang hesitated and knelt on one knee.

And, An Lushan, like a mountain, does not move at all, nostrils to the sky, and cannot be eternally extinguished.

The crown prince Li Ying is like an angry little daughter-in-law 'woman' in front of Li Longji, and the long-term accumulation of grievance pressure in the 'chest' is even stronger than the deepest trench in the Pacific Ocean.

If the prince is not powerful, is he really a sick cat? I have to let you know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!

An Lushan also has a big ability - pretending to be dead. Anyway, I'm a Hu person, and I don't know much about foreign languages - Tang Yan.

The noise alarmed Li Longji in the hall.

Daring! Who's making a noise outside?

The four were declared into the temple. Zhang Jiuling sued first as a witness and asked for the crime of bullying the king in Lushan. The victim prince was aggrieved.

Li Longji was very deep in the city, looked at An Lushan, who was stupid and didn't know why, and asked lightly: "Why didn't the Qing family kneel when they saw the prince?" ”

An Lushan replied: "This, what is the prince's official?" He is not the Khan of the Heavens, why should the ministers kneel to him? ”

"Oh?" Li Longji was curious, and he could see that he had a good impression of An Lushan, "It turns out that An Qing's family doesn't understand the identity of the prince." He who does not know is not guilty. I tell you that the crown prince is my heir, and in a hundred years, he will ascend the throne. ”

An Lushan was stunned for a moment and said: "We Hu people don't have this rule, since the prince is not a heavenly khan, I can't kneel." ”

Li Longji shook his head, but did not pursue it, only said some words to comfort the prince, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to teach An Lushan and other Hu generals.

Li Ying did not give up, and seeing that An Lushan was at large, she had no choice but to retreat and find trouble with Li Huaitang.

Crime: This gentleman has one knee and is disrespectful.

Why doesn't the other half kneel?

In response to Li Longji's angry question, Li Huaitang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: The other knee is reserved for the emperor.

Subtext: Can the crown prince kneel on the same knees as the emperor?

Speaking of the emperor's heart, he went to a difficult time.

Dragon's face is happy. Li Longji's most taboo thing is that the prestige of the crown prince is too great, and An Lushan's rude red fruit fruit laughs at the world, and Li Huaitang's one-knee salute is justified and can be regarded as a new etiquette.

A thief, a minister! There are no good people in Hong 'Dong' County.

Zhang Jiuling made an evaluation in his heart. The anti-thief is, of course, An Lushan, and the label of Yu Chen was attached to Li Huaitang.

Under Li Longji's deliberate protection, the dispute came to an end.

Let's get to the point.

The purpose of Zhang Jiuling's visit was to ask for instructions again to excavate the Huashan gold mine to confirm the treasury.

"I don't want to. Don't mention this again! ”

Li Longji became a nameless fire.

Lao Zhang, is he really stupid or fake? If I have broken my dragon vein, what is my 'desire'?

Li Longji's gaze wandered between Zhang Jiuling and the crown prince, and finally fixed on the prince.

"What does the prince think?"

Li Ying rarely had the opportunity to participate in politics, and he didn't know what to do, so he thought it was his father's attention to him, so he thought about it for a while, and carefully 'handed over' the answer sheet: "Erchen thinks that what Zhang 'Shi' Lang said is reasonable, but now there are too many wars and the treasury is insufficient......"

"That's enough." Li Longji coldly interrupted Li Ying.

Sure enough, the conscience is greatly bad! He even used money to 'lure' in an attempt to win the throne with good luck. Fortunately, there are many loyal ministers like Li Linfu in the court, so that I am sober, otherwise I will really fall into your evil deeds!

Thinking of Zhang Jiuling's respectful attitude towards the prince, as well as his previous actions to repeatedly prevent him from deposing the prince, disgust quietly crept into his heart.

"The matter of Huashan has been put on hold for the time being, and there is no need to discuss it again."

"But......" Zhang Jiuling was worried and unwilling to give up.

The situation in the Tang Dynasty, the more you understand, the more alarming it becomes. The whole country is not lacking in wealth, but every year most of the wealth created by society is concentrated in the hands of the aristocracy, most of whom do not have to pay taxes, or tax evasion is serious, the real tax-paying laborers are very poor, the treasury tax sources are showing signs of depletion, and the country's border is hugely consumed, coupled with the extravagant 'spending' of the royal family, sooner or later there will be problems. Zhang Jiuling's idea was nothing more than to take precautions and open up a wide range of financial routes, but he didn't know how to understand it, and he was hated by the emperor.

Similarly, the onlookers Li Huaitang and An Lushan were in a fog, and they couldn't guess which play was staged.

"I have made up my mind, Zhang Qing will retire."

Li Longji couldn't help but say that he reprimanded Zhang Jiuling.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense, and the prince was full of big men and was silent.

Li Longji glanced at Li Ying coldly, and suddenly said about Li Huaitang: "The great victory in the Bohai Sea, the great merit of the fat cavalry general, should have been solemnly rewarded, but the situation has changed abruptly, and time is running out." This time, I urgently asked the general to come back, mainly for two things. ”

Surely nothing good.

Li Huaitang muttered in his heart.

Sure enough, as expected.

"One of them is the Great Food Country, they sent a secret envoy, expressing their willingness to form a good alliance with my Tang Dynasty for Qin and Jin, and equally divide the land in the rivers of the Western Regions. The world knows that Ning Yuan surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, and the fat cavalry general was even more loyal, how could I do what they wanted? Well, this, Li Qing, the national letter of the big cannibal, might as well take a look at it first, be prepared and plan early. ”

Gao Lishi handed a map and a copy of the national credentials to Li Huaitang.

Hearing Li Longji say this, the big cannibal is actually engaged in the trick of 'handing' and close attack, and it seems that Li Longji has also been used as a tool for blackmail and threats.

Li Huaitang looked at the map first and couldn't help frowning.

The map shows the topography of Ningyuan and Hezhong Zhongchuan, with a clear boundary divided into two, the east of which is marked as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, including two copper-gold mines, and the west of which belongs to the Great Food Country. The intention of uniting Datang to carve up Ningyuan jumped on this map, and the big cannibal was very accurate, Datang lacked copper, and the copper production area was assigned to Datang, which was very 'tempting' and 'confusing'.

It seems that the threat of the Great Cannibal is imminent, of course, the Great Cannibal definitely does not have the luxury of expecting Datang to send troops to attack, and it can achieve its goal if it can maintain neutrality.

The same wish was expressed on the national letter, in addition to the expensive gifts, there was also the beautiful princess of the big food, and Qin Jinzhi was indispensable to the bond of in-law.

"I heard that the princess of Dashi is as beautiful as a 'flower', cough cough, but they don't know me, I am not interested in Hu Niang, hehe, I laughed."

Jun didn't joke, it sounded casual, but Li Huaitang felt that Li Longji's words were implicit. I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I had to pretend to be shocked by the content of the national letter.

"Well, I'm very worried about the aggressive 'sex' of the Great Cannibal, and I hope that the Fat Cavalry General won't live up to my expectations."

It's as simple as that? Why don't you just give an order to let Ning Yuan ride back to the west?

Li Huaitang was full of doubts and 'confusion'.

There was no follow-up, and the topic was changed, as if Li Longji had summoned him to report the news to him.

"Second, this year's tribute from Ning Yuan came in a timely manner, and I am very satisfied."

Li Huaitang was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts flew to the annual 300,000 copper tribute ceremony and Anxi Avenue.

Can it not be fast? According to the reports he received, the thousands of miles of "highways" that he led across the entire territory of Anxi -- horse-drawn carriages -- had been opened to traffic. Transportation efficiency increases at a geometric rate. In order to build this artery, Li Huaitang suffered heavy losses, not counting money and food, and the slaves alone killed and injured fifty or sixty thousand, which can be said to be notorious, and the literati of the Tang Dynasty often criticized it.

"The observer envoy I sent to Anxi was very appreciative of the newly opened Kaiyuan Avenue, and asked me to extend the repair of the avenue to Chang'an and Luoyang. However, I also know that building roads and bridges requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and Li Qing has experience in this aspect, and I hope that the Qing family can give guidance to the Ministry of Industry. ”

The so-called guidance is nothing more than financial and human assistance, which is really euphemistic.

As the saying goes, when the avenue is opened, there are ten thousand taels of gold. Needless to say, the exponential increase in taxes is louder than words, and the drastic reduction in transportation costs is also evidence of this. Li Longji tasted the sweetness and was out of control. It is best that Li Huaitang can build ten verticals and ten horizontals for him in the territory of Tang.

'If you want to trade', you must build roads. Extending the "high-speed" road to Chang'an is what Li Huaitang wants, and he is naturally full of promises.

"Oh, in addition," Li Longji seemed to remember something, picked out a copy of the recital from the desk, and asked Gao Lishi to hand it to Li Huaitang, "The imperial historians jointly participated in Li Qing's transgression, and I did not leave the case." ”

Li Huaitang was stunned again, took the fold and unfolded it, and his heart was angry.

Yushi Zhao Qian Sun Li accused him of marrying too many wives, having a bad name, and having a sign of rebellion. Where is this twist and turn, it is clearly a murderous sword.

However, what exactly does Li Longji mean?

Li Huaitang felt like he had stepped into a 'fog'......

The strange thing is that next, Li Longji changed the object of his speech, and praised An Lushan a lot, the specific content, because he was absent-minded, Li Huaitang did not receive many signals, and in a trance, he only heard that Li Longji promoted An Hu to the ranks of senior cadres.

The audience was interrupted by the miserable cries of the 'woman', and they parted unhappily.

A 'woman' in a gorgeous dress brazenly broke into the side hall, cried very pitifully, and kept claiming that she wanted to enter the Taoist temple to practice, and asked Li Longji to let her go.

Li Longji's face was full of black lines, and he was very faceless. Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the noble 'woman'. Listening to their only words, the identity of the 'woman' seems to be Concubine Wu Hui, who has been in immeasurable grace for a while, and the couple is making trouble about whether to set up Yang Guifei.

The emperor's family changed, and An and Li retired very interestingly, but the prince was left behind, and the unlucky one was about to be caught in it to show his attitude.

Walking out of the 'door' of the side hall, thinking of the strange resentful eyes of Wu Zhong and other ministers, Li Huaitang suddenly realized: Could it be that Emperor Shicai and Wu Zhong and other ministers were discussing this matter? What does this matter matter to me? …… Hiss! Yang?!
