Li Chun saw the ceremony, sat beside his mother, and accompanied her to discuss the ball just now, the mother and son laughed heartily from time to time, and everyone around them was full of red light, a harmonious and peaceful scene of mother and son, husband and wife harmony, and gentlemen and courtiers.

All of a while they all got up and went back to the palace. Li Mao hurriedly went out to say goodbye, but Li Chun did not let him go, and told him to stay in front of the Zhonghe Hall and wait.
In the middle, Concubine Guo looked at Li Mao, her expression was calm, her eyes were smiling, her eyebrows were bent into a crescent moon, and her grace and wealth revealed all kinds of styles, Li Mao lowered her head and thought to herself: You have to try to leave the capital as soon as possible, otherwise you will be killed by this woman sooner or later.
In the Zhonghe Hall until the time of the lamp, Li Chun rushed over and asked Li Mao if he had eaten, but when he heard it, he asked someone to set up the meal, saying that he was drinking with Li Mao.
Liu Xiguang, who was serving, didn't know what specifications to use, so he consulted Tutu Chenghuang, and after a blank meal, Tutu Chengguang ordered to prepare a few ordinary side dishes and scald two pots of wine.
The wine and food were ready, Li Chun nodded with satisfaction, Liu Xiguang didn't dare to specialize, and Daoming was the guidance of Cheng Xuan.
Everyone retreated to the side, leaving only the monarch and the minister under the lamp.
Li Chun laid a chopstick dish for Li Mao, and Li Mao poured wine for Li Chun.
"You don't have to be restrained, there's no one here, it's the same as before."
Li Mao couldn't remember what it was before, and even if he could remember it clearly, as long as he wasn't so drunk that he forgot that it was the current emperor sitting opposite, it would be impossible to go back to the past.
"Remember the little prince of the Uighur royal city, Age, who was from the tribe of the Uighurs?"
Li Mao certainly remembered that when he returned from the Uighurs, he wrote a special memo on the necessity of an alliance with the Uighurs, but after the memo was handed over, it was like a mud ox in the sea, and there was no news.
"He is now in Chang'an, and he ran to Jingzhao Mansion to say that he knew you, and Jingzhao Mansion told him that you went to Luoyang, and he said that he wanted to see me. Hahaha, he said that your name is Li Mao, my name is Li Chun, and the two of us are brothers. ”
Li Mao was shocked and didn't dare to say in a hurry.
Li Chun sighed and said sadly: "When you become an emperor, you really become a loner, and you don't even have a brother." ”
After a pause, he said, "Thousands of miles northwest of the Falcon King's City, can they really become my allies of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Mao said: "The barbarian tribe only has interests in its eyes, as long as it operates well, it can at least become a force to contain the Uighurs, and the cost is not much, it can be described as a million profits." ”
Li Chundao: "Won't it become the second Tibetan?" The civilization of Tibet, I Datang also has a contribution. ()”
Li Mao said: "The grassland is not as good as the plateau, the king's foundation is difficult for a hundred years, and the number of people in the Tunis is small, even if he is the king for a while, it is bound to not last long." I squatted in the cell with him, ambitious, cruel and mean, he can achieve things, but he can't do big things, and he is not enough to be the king of the desert. ”
Li Chun said: "Destroy the Uighurs, my Datang has one less ally, have you really calculated this account?" ”
Li Mao said: "The Uighurs have declined, can no longer contain the Tibetans, the Tibetans have also declined, can not withstand the impact from the grasslands, the day the Uighurs are defeated, the Tang Dynasty can drive its troops south to the west, the Tibetan to protect the Western Regions, it is bound to draw troops from Hexi, Longyou, I can take the opportunity to take it, if take Hexi, Longyou, the desert, the Western Regions are just around the corner." Later generations must write the words 'Yuan and Zhongxing' in thick ink and color in the history books. ”
Li Chundao: "I don't want to be in the limelight, I just want to be able to say in the history books that I have worked hard for the revival of the Tang Dynasty, and it is enough to be not a person who does nothing." ”
Li Mao said: "Take a step back and say that even if the Uighurs are unable to destroy the Uighurs, it will be beneficial and harmless to our Datang if they help the Uighurs make one more enemy. This is what the ancients said about the strategy of long-distance and close-range attack. ”
Li Chun nodded in favor and immediately issued an order, with Li Mao as the negotiator, to start secret negotiations with the little prince of the Khada Tribe, Age, with the goal of making a secret alliance between the two families to jointly deal with the Uighurs.
Li Mao asked Li Jiang, a bachelor of Hanlin, to help, and Li Chun agreed.
Li Mao couldn't sleep excitedly, so he took out the hemp paper notebook in his study, and turned out the bits and pieces of thinking about the use of the Uighurs to contain the Uighurs in the old days, and even the eventual destruction of the Uighurs.
Li Mao painted this scene on linen paper, written in his own Chinese English, which no one could decipher.
Lan'er wandered outside the study for a long time, but finally didn't dare to enter, so she had no choice but to sleep with a pillow**.
On the second day, Li Jiang took the initiative to come to the door, Li Mao did not be polite to him, the two had a deep conversation in the study, and reached a number of consensuses, and then the two visited Yousi separately, interviewed the relevant officials, and met again in the evening, and the ideas gradually converged, and when everything was ready, they officially had a secret conversation with A Ge.
The little prince Daur was imprisoned in the Uighur night guard cell for three months before he was released, and during these three months, in order to preserve his dignity, four of his retinue died tragically under the Uighur whip, and the little prince hated the Uighurs, biting off the fingers of his followers and swearing to bring 100,000 iron horsemen to the Uighur royal city in his lifetime.
After being released from prison, the little prince begged all the way to Fengzhou, and after showing his identity as the little prince of Daua, he immediately got a good courtesy from the Fengzhou place, Yang Qi of Fengzhou specially sent someone to escort him to the capital, and the hospitality of the Tang Dynasty warmed the little prince's cold and sensitive heart, and after seeing the ruins of western Beijing and the prosperity of Chang'an, he decided that this was the end of his life's hegemony.
The negotiation was very hard, the little prince was stubborn like a stone, what he insisted on, no matter how many mouths you have, it doesn't make sense, Li Mao and Li Jiang had to change their strategy, adopt the strategy of slow cooking, put aside disputes, clear the periphery, the core of the few points can not be settled, so they will be put aside for the time being, first finalize the details that can be finalized, and then use the finalized details to influence and weaken the core of Ah Ge's insistence.
After a month of contact between the two sides, the little prince finally relented and promised to make a secret covenant with the Tang Dynasty, and on the premise of ensuring that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighur allies remained unchanged, he would accept the assistance of the Tang Dynasty, practice his internal skills, bury his head in the pit, and bury the Uighur Khanate in one fell swoop when the time was ripe.
Li Mao presented the results of the negotiations to Li Chun, who was generally satisfied with the result, and was dissatisfied with only one place, and Li Mao suggested that Sui Luan Zhonglang send Li Tong as the chief military representative of the Tang Dynasty to travel thousands of miles to help Ah Re train the army.
Li Chundao: "Why is it him, I am such a handy person." ”
Li Mao explained: "The covenant between my Datang and the Daurs is a secret covenant, and it is not appropriate to disclose it to the outside world. Even if everything goes well, it will be ten years later, and ten years of hard years, how many loyal and righteous people will have to be killed. This man must have the loyalty of the sea, the iron will. ”
"My Tang Dynasty is 20,000 miles away from the Uighurs, and there is no communication between the Uighurs, so he will have to do many things alone in the future, so this person must be a person that His Majesty can absolutely trust. There are these rules, and the generals of the Manchu Dynasty are selected and selected, and only General Li Tong is the most suitable. ”
Li Chun was silent for a while, but after all, he had no intention of objecting.
Hearing that he was going to send the Divine Power to the Gang Division, Qin Mo was very puzzled and asked: "Good brother, one was left in the ravine by you to be a son-in-law, and the other was sent by you to a bitter cold place 20,000 miles away, why is your heart so hard, let me ask you: Where are you going to send me next time." ”
Li Mao said: "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, I'm forced to do so." ”
Qin Mo sneered, and Li Mao said, "Do you remember Guo Ren?" ”
Qin Mo said: "Nonsense, of course I remember her!" What's wrong with her, this person is quite capable of tossing. ”
Li Mao said: "He got together with Li Du." ”
Tan Governor Shi Li Du is a royal family relative, on the seniority is Li Chun's cousin, in Tanzhou after returning to the capital, is looking for a good position, one day to Guo Ren under the door, the two hit it off, that night rolled to a **. Because the matter involved the magic power of Moqi, after Chen Shu learned the news, he made a special trip to report to Li Mao.
"Paper can't hold the fire, Chen Shu can know it, and the supernatural power will know sooner or later, according to his temperament, he can't cut it in two? This knife goes down, of course, it is a bad breath, but this life will be ruined. ”
Qin Mo was taken aback, Guo Ren became a Zhonglang general since her husband became a general, and after recognizing Guo Guifei as her stepmother, she took off her chicken feathers and grew into a phoenix, her worth rose sharply, and she was extremely active in and out of the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Qin Mo has also heard a little about the rumors that she and some dignitaries in the court are not close, but he has not paid attention to it, there is no fashion in this place in the capital, a beautiful young woman, a sudden rise of the upstart, being hated by others, and it is normal to be riddled with scandals.
But when these words came out of Li Mao's mouth, Qin Mo didn't dare to suspect that there was a fake, he smashed it down with one punch, and it was not worth it for his good brother.
"This can't all be blamed on her, the supernatural powers are escorted by Luan, and she is often not at home."
"I'm sorry, you're embarrassed to excuse her, it's okay for such a woman to cut it in two."
Li Mao said: "It's not a pity for her to die, what should I do with supernatural powers?" You should know how many people are staring at his position, he can't make the slightest mistake, and if he makes a mistake, it will be doomed. ”
"So, you just kicked him into the ice and snow thousands of miles away, so that the ** is unrestrained and free?"
Li Mao said: "Husband and wife have the obligation to be loyal to each other, which party is unfaithful, it is unforgivable, and after the supernatural power leaves, you go to talk to her, let her know how to write the word shame, and take the initiative to divorce the supernatural." ”
"That's fine, it's just that the supernatural powers are a little wronged."
The two of them had already decided, so Qin Mo sent an invitation to invite Mo Qi's supernatural powers to come to the banquet. After receiving the invitation, Mo Qi Shentong was a little embarrassed, he had missed an appointment in the Perfume Temple last time, and this time he had to miss the appointment again, but he was afraid that the two brothers would blame, so he hesitated for a moment and still asked Li Chun for leave. The old brothers who have not seen each other for many years are a little strange, but after a few words, the three of them became familiar again. Seeing that Qin Mo didn't drink with Li Mao, Shentong asked the reason with a smile, Qin Mo only then talked about going to the Ministry of Huangjiasi, Mo Qi Shentong was stunned for a moment, but he laughed, and the tears of laughter flowed out.
