In the garden, Cao Anmin, who was much better in spirit, played Li Ang, who was a few officials, without saying a word. Li Ang read this joint piece against Tang Guo in silence before he looked at Cao Anmin and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" "For Li Ang, he can ignore the civil and military affairs of the Great Qin and Manchu Dynasties, but he can't ignore Cao Anmin's thoughts.

"Do you want to hear what I have to say?" Cao Anmin's gaze became sharp, not like a sick person. Li Ang didn't answer, just nodded heavily, without the slightest expression on his face.

"I will not approve this decree." Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang and said quietly, then he looked at the sky outside the pavilion and muttered to himself, "I often think that Great Qin continues to this day and is strong and prosperous, why is it?" In the end, I came to the conclusion that it was because Great Qin always knew his enemies, and because of the existence of those enemies, that Great Qin was able to dominate the army and not dare to stop advancing for a moment. ”

"If the Tang Kingdom can be strong enough to threaten Great Qin in the future, it will only be my Great Qin who is slacking off and can't complain about others." Cao Anmin stood up, looked into the distance with his hands in his hands, and there was a smile on his pale face, "How can there be a country in this world that will last for a long time, often the strongest is the beginning of weakness, if the Tang State has issued an edict, there will be no rival in the world of Great Qin, it will be a blessing or a curse." ”

Cao Anmin turned around and looked at Li Ang again, "Even if the Tang State and Great Qin compete in the future, they will be of the same origin and the same ancestry, and they will not be like those barbarians who turn into foreign barbarians, destroy my China, and destroy my bloodline." What's more, do you think the Tang State can annex Great Qin? ”

Li Ang knew what Cao Anmin was referring to in his last question, everything in the Tang Kingdom originated from Great Qin. Even if his descendants have the intention of competing with Great Qin in the future, I am afraid that at most it will be on par with Great Qin, and wanting to annex Great Qin is tantamount to a fool's dream, and similarly, if Great Qin wants to annex Tang State, it is also extremely difficult to do.

"I have always believed that the Tang State is the best 'enemy' of Great Qin." Cao Anmin laughed. As the Emperor of Great Qin, he saw farther than those officials in the court. Exercise the Grace Order against the Tang State. Let Daqin dominate the world, and finally fall into the dazed and comfortable of losing his opponent? The alternation of peace and war is the perfect balance for the country to move forward.

"Your Majesty's vision is not as good as a minister." Li Ang finally spoke, he was not completely resistant to the Tui En Order, he established the Tang State with his own hands, but in his bones he always regarded himself as a soldier of Great Qin. And not the founding monarch of the Tang Kingdom.

"It's not that you don't have the vision of the earth, it's just that you're loyal to Great Qin far more than anything else." Cao Anmin said with emotion that his father Emperor Wen chose Li Ang as the strongest knife in his hand for him, because his father Emperor Wen saw Li Ang's loyalty to the country, he would never be loyal to anyone, and only the country and the nation could make him loyal, and this was also the point he admired the most.

"Until Rome is completely wiped out, Tang and Great Qin will be brothers." Cao Anmin in the blowing evening breeze. One of the most important decisions he made on his deathbed was made. He raised the position of the vassal state of the Tang state to the state of the alliance that was only the Great Qin.

Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin, who was thin, standing in the wind, and suddenly there was an indescribable regret in his heart, if he could live for another twenty years. With his foresight and ability, he maybe... Thinking of this, Li Ang shook his head vigorously, threw away all distractions, and just stood silently behind Cao Anmin, "Your Majesty, we should go back." ”

Half a month later, Cao Yu and Li Jingyu returned to Chang'an, Cao Anmin, who knew that his time was short, immediately ordered the two to get married, and at this time, Li Ang also moved from the dark to the light, and the emperor whose condition seemed to have stabilized made all the major families smell a trace of unusual atmosphere, the emperor must be brewing something, the emperor's political vision and means are only stronger than the kings of the Great Qin, not weak, no one will ignore the meaning of the supreme of the world.

Reminiscent of the time before the death of Emperor Wen, in order to pave the way for the emperor who was still the prince at that time, in the name of cleaning up Confucianism, eradicated countless important ministers of the family, which made all the families have a twelve-point spirit, although Chang'an City for the prince's wedding and seemed to be happy, but secretly the major families have begun to inquire about each other's news, and they are concerned about the emperor's attitude towards the Tui En Ling, for the Tui En Ling, the opinions of the major families are not the same, for those who have been benefited in the Tang Kingdom, They did not want to see the implementation of the Tui En Order, and those who did not receive benefits, on the contrary, hoped that the Tang State would be able to grab benefits in it when it was divided into several states.

The prince's wedding unconsciously turned into a political wrestling, and many families with interests in the Tang State tried to reach an alliance with Li Ang, but to their disappointment, Li Ang refused almost all the families who came to the door, and just waited for the wedding day wholeheartedly, and in the palace, even if the major families used up all their relationships, they still didn't know the emperor's attitude.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the wedding, because the monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty advocated frugality, so the prince's

It is not luxurious, but it definitely has the atmosphere of the royal family, and on the day of the wedding, the Weiyang camp and the ruling Jinwu and the Yulin army wore the Chinese armor used in the military parade to celebrate the prince's wedding. For the major families and important ministers of the court who came to the banquet, so many elite troops were stationed outside the palace, but it gave them a signal that the emperor would make a big move when the crown prince got married.

As soon as they entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace, all the family heads and important ministers saw that something was wrong, on the side of the imperial throne of Daqin, there was actually another one, and almost all of them immediately reacted to who the seat on the side of the imperial throne was for, and soon many people had already understood the emperor's attitude towards the Tui En Order, and for a while, everyone had different reactions and waited for the emperor's arrival.

A moment later, surrounded by the inner servants, the emperor sat on the imperial seat, and Li Ang stood behind the emperor, the seat next to the emperor was still vacant, after accepting the greetings from the ministers and the major families, Cao Anmin looked at the henchmen beside him and nodded, "Xuan!" So the prepared will was said to everyone in the hall, and the Tang State will be a brotherly state with the Great Qin, with the Great Qin as the elder and the Tang as the youngest.

As soon as the edict came out, everyone was shocked, especially the ministers who put forward the edict were even more stunned, they never thought that the emperor would make such a decision, which is equivalent to making a strong enemy for Daqin in the future, no matter how loyal the current monarch of the Tang State and King Wuwei are to Daqin, after a long time, they will always compete with Daqin because of interests, which is something that cannot be avoided. At the moment, he couldn't care about the prince's wedding, so he came out of the banquet and admonished him bitterly, but the emperor's heart could not be easily changed, not to mention the people in the palace, those big families, and the people who really shared the power of this empire with the royal family were guessing the emperor's true intentions at this time, and no one was going to help them. In the end, these ministers were directly dragged out of Weiyang Palace by the warriors in the palace.

Seeing that the emperor's mind was broken, and those family heads who had already had interests entangled with the Tang State did not have the slightest objection, and the remaining family heads had no choice but to give up, they did not want the family alliance as a community of interests to split for a Tang State, in that case, it was only them who suffered, so they retreated silently.

Li Ang finally sat next to Cao Anmin, but he always sat in vain, and did not really sit side by side with Cao Anmin. Daqin advocates simplicity, so although it is the prince's wedding, the etiquette is not complicated, but the wedding ceremony was completed in half an hour.

Three days after the prince's wedding, the heads of the major families were shocked again, and the emperor, who seemed to be getting better day by day, actually abdicated.

The crown prince will take the throne as the new emperor, and he will use his own team, of course, this will touch the interests of the old ministers, and it is also a reshuffle of political forces, which will take several years to carry out, but now Cao Anmin, the emperor, is alive, and Li Ang, the Wu Anjun, who had the highest prestige in the Great Qin army in the past, is also the emperor of the Tang State now, both of them are supporting the newly enthroned emperor, which of those ministers who have been removed dare to make small moves.

For half a year, after his daughter's wedding, Li Ang stayed in Chang'an for half a year, until the disciples who ascended the throne consolidated their team, and then they came to the idea of leaving, he had left the Tang Kingdom for too long, although his roots were in Daqin, but his home was in the Tang Kingdom. In the past six months, Cao Anmin, who got rid of political affairs, gradually improved his body under the conditioning of the imperial doctors, but he was still ill and difficult to break, under the diagnosis of the imperial doctors, Cao Anmin, who was the emperor, if he could keep recuperating, he might be able to live for another ten years. So when Li Ang proposed to return to the Tang Kingdom, Cao Anmin said a decision that surprised Li Ang and his son, and he decided to go to the Tang Kingdom with Li Ang to retire, and after his death, he was directly buried in Jerusalem, the dragon city of Qinling.

After unsuccessful persuasion, Cao Yu, who had become the emperor of Great Qin, had to agree with his father's decision, knowing that the most regrettable thing in his father's life was that he could not go to the distant Dragon City as the monarchs of Great Qin when he was a teenager.

Cao Anmin wants to go to the Tang State to retire, which makes the court of Daqin come to the form of three persuasions, in the end, they still can't stop Cao Anmin's decision, Cao Anmin's example makes the Han people in Daqin have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the Tang State, it seems that the Tang State is another Great Qin, although this cannot prevent the two countries from competing for interests after a hundred years, but it is always a good thing.

Due to Cao Anmin's decision, Li Ang's return journey took a full year and three months to return to Zhongjing, along the way, Cao Anmin passed through the Tang State from Central Asia, directly to the entire territory of Asia, so that those Han people who migrated over felt that in fact, as long as there are Han people in this world, it is the homeland, whether it is the Tang Kingdom or Great Qin, it is the homeland of the Han people, this is the most real idea of the common people.
