Chapter 716: The demons inside and outside are dancing wildly

The excitement is sometimes exhausted, and this year is the most.

Few people expected that when the people of Datang were celebrating the Lantern Festival, the northwest would suddenly erupt. After all, Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui are guarding one side separately, and whoever is in the northwest will have to restrain one or two. However, Tubo seemed to have stopped moving, but Tuyuhun suddenly became chaotic. The two sons of the eldest princess of Honghua, the two brothers who had just been canonized by the Tang Dynasty, suddenly broke out into infighting.

There is a saying that internal troubles are more serious than external troubles, and in just three days, Tuyuhun suddenly became a pot of porridge, and almost no one paid attention to the righteous Khan and Ke Hedun of Nuo Haobo and Honghua eldest princess couple, and most of them were pulled into the water by the two brothers who were vying for the throne. Tuyuhun's territory has already shrunk greatly, and now it is even more smoked on all sides. If it weren't for Pei Xingjian, who was in Liangzhou, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately sent the Tang army, but he was afraid that Tubo would not attack, and Tuyuhun would be finished.

Of course, the Tubo attacked, however, the tentative 5,000 people were inexplicably ambushed, and the good scheming Qinling had to suspect that this was the Tang army's trickery to lure the snake out of the hole, so he cautiously maintained a wait-and-see posture. As a result, what he was waiting for was the news that Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Haobo sent the two sons of the civil strife to Liangzhou, sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and established his son Murong Fu as the heir.

So, knowing that the civil strife in Tuyuhun was true, Qin Ling knew that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately waved his army north, and even secretly ordered the remnants of the Western Turks attached to the past to go north to the four towns of Anxi. Someone's mind is naturally clear, and it is nothing more than wanting to occupy Tuyuhun with lightning speed, so as to stand on the bridgehead of the westward march into the East Turkistan - the geographical and strategic location of Tuyuhun, which is really too important.

At the beginning of spring. When the wind and rain in the northwest were frequent, a group of vassal kings in the Tang Dynasty also arrived in Luoyang one by one. It was the first time that the soldiers guarding the Dingding Gate in Luoyang had seen so many royal families, from the initial nervousness to the habits in the middle, and then to the final indifference, it only took less than ten days.

Even Li Xian, the initiator, really learned about it for the first time. How many princes did the Tang Dynasty have—from the highest-level prince to the second-level heir, and then to the county king, there were no less than one hundred and fifty—and this did not include the bunch of sons of the princes who were born to some really very stud princes. From this point of view, he thought with malice in his heart. If it weren't for an unprecedented massacre in history, the population of the Li Tang royal family would have swelled. Lin Lei

In this respect, the Li family was a big family before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the foundation of the division was too big.

Due to the large number of princes who returned. Therefore, it is too much effort to give banquets and receptions one by one, so Li Xian inevitably suggested that he should take ten days as a base, and he will be responsible for the reception of the royal family who arrived in these ten days. As for Emperor Li Hong...... Unfortunately, when these dear grandparents and uncles arrived, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor happened to be "sick".

Of course, the princes, heirs, and princes will not feel left out because the reception place is not the emperor, because Li Xian is really a too smooth person. Someone is very good at adjusting the atmosphere. is extremely good at teasing just right, and is extremely good at getting closer to each other, so after a big feast, as long as the city government is not so deep, it all feels like a spring breeze.

Of course, there are extremely vigilant and ambitious people in the royal family, but more of them are those who eat and wait for death and only hope to live a happy life, especially those who were divided when Gaozu Li Yuan succeeded to the throne. Since the throne is definitely not their share, as long as they can keep the glory and wealth, there is no difference between who sits on the throne and them.

From this point of view, they naturally have a very common language with Li Xian. I highly respect this prince who can live a life and is funny and interesting.

After a long time to come out, when most of the royal family had been in Luoyang City for more than half a month, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, and Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, arrived belatedly. Coincidentally, the two of them entered Luoyang at almost the same hour, if not one of them went to Dingding Gate. One walked the Jianchun Gate. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of noise for entering the city. However, when I entered the city, I didn't meet it, and when I entered the palace. The two groups of people inevitably collided together.

There is a way that the enemy is very red when he meets, and when he sees Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo who is younger than himself and more energetic than himself, and Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, is eyes are full of fire, and the two sons behind him are desperately reminded, so there is no dispute at the gate of Duanmen. So, as the elder brother, Li Yuanjia snorted coldly, glared at Li Yuanliang hard, and then took the lead in entering the palace with his head held high.

Li Yuanliang, who was walking behind, didn't care much about his brother's attitude, but he remembered the kings who made a lot of noise a year ago. The cause was naturally the conflict between him and Li Yuanjia, but he didn't expect that so many people would be involved later. He is not afraid that the incident between himself and Li Yuanjia will be turned over, after all, this matter is not good for anyone, especially his noble nephew of the Emperor.

However, this time, with Li Zhi's fiftieth birthday and the completion of the Ming Hall, almost all the children of the imperial family gathered in Luoyang, and this rare event seemed to reveal a kind of crisis.

Of course, he didn't believe that anyone would take this opportunity to wipe out all the children of the clan in one go, Li Tang advertised that he would rule the world with filial piety, if Li Hong, the nephew who claimed to be the emperor who didn't care about things, would do that kind of thing, then the center of the Tang Dynasty would not be like this pattern a long time ago. Therefore, it is not the emperor that he has to watch out for, but the Empress Wu and the prince Li Xian.

If he can't understand the hearts of these two, I'm afraid that he won't be able to come this time.

Taizong Li Shimin's sons are only two left, King Li Shen of Ji and Li Ming, King of Cao, and half of Li Zhi's sons are also dead, and now only four of Empress Wu's own children are left. In addition to Li Yuanjia, the king of Han and Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, there are five people: Li Feng, King of Yu, Li Yuanming, King of Shu, Li Lingkui, King of Lu, Li Yuanxiang, King of Jiang, and Li Yuanying, King of Teng. Of the seven princes, the last five are all under fifty years of age, younger than their nephew Li Zhi.

From this point of view, although Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Incident killed his brother and punished his brother, it curbed the ambitions of other brothers, which is also the reason why so many people survived. And Li Shimin's own coup d'état to the throne boosted the ambitions of his sons in disguise, and now Li Zhi's brothers are only two alone, and they don't look bleak.

When Li Xian met with Li Yuanjia and Li Yuanliang respectively with a smile, he had such a thought in his heart. Perhaps because of the weakness of the thief's heart, he found that Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, was particularly enthusiastic about him, and that enthusiasm completely exceeded the kindness of the elders to the juniors, and also completely exceeded the courtiers' respect for the prince, all in all, when he talked to Li Yuanjia, he found that the uncle was observing his face all the time.

This kind of his most skillful deeds was shown in others, and he, a spectator, was naturally a little inexplicably touched.

After that, Li Yuanliang was much more tranquil, and that attitude was completely in line with the convention, neither too humble nor very tough, which was just right. And when leaving, the other party did not forget to send a few Xiangzhou specialties, and always had a light smile on his face, as if he didn't care about everything.

As soon as the people left, Li Xian weighed the gifts that were not very valuable, but they were better than their hearts, and couldn't help but sigh that the name of King Huo Li Yuanliang was better than that of King Han Li Yuanjia, which was not unreasonable. Because the Tang Dynasty did not seal countless countries like at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, nor did it sit in charge of military horses like the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the power of the vassal kings was extremely limited. Even if there is any big move, there is only a limit to the backlash that can be received.

But...... Why are there so many people!

Because Wang Shichong occupied the eastern capital of Luoyang for a long time and could not attack it, Li Shimin was ordered by Li Yuan to burn the main hall of Luoyang Palace after taking Luoyang. Although the name of the eastern capital, in the two reigns of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, although the Tang Emperor occasionally visited Luoyang, he set up camp like Li Zhi and did not leave, and directly regarded the eastern capital as Kyoto, which has never been done. With the arrival of a large number of powerful people, the land in Luoyang skyrocketed, which also allowed a certain landlord who had earlier purchased a large amount of land and real estate to make a huge windfall.

And when more than 100 royal families poured into Luoyang again, the city that was originally full of wasteland and abandoned houses was crowded, in a joke of the people, that is, if a meteorite fell from the sky in Luoyang, it would hit two heirs and three county kings, and the remaining one might still be a prince - it is similar to some kind of explosion.

Due to the influx of these Tianhuang nobles, the public security situation in Luoyang deteriorated sharply, and finally Li Xian, the prince, personally served as the pastor of Luozhou, and Luoyang only restored a stable and harmonious scene on the surface. As for secretly colluding with each other, forming gangs and conspiring, or giving gifts to the minister's mansion, or exchanging experiences with each other...... All in all, everything.

In such a situation where the demons are dancing inside and the war is raging outside, it is not without good news. After Li Xian married the princess for more than half a year, he finally ushered in the good news of the princess's pregnancy. And Li Xian's family also has a pot-bellied mother-to-be, Helan Yan, who just gave birth to a daughter a year ago, and this time she is gloriously pregnant again.

This concubine who has not been pregnant for many years after getting married is now radiant, and she has a smile on her face everywhere she goes. She is not afraid of any body shape, birth pain, the child is the mother's heart, naturally the more the merrier. As for having a boy or a girl, she didn't care so much.
