Text 825 Fear before respect

Quan Yi led two thousand Tang people, Tibetan mixed soldiers and horses to join the Futu camp, Yuan Shuji and Guo Shi had already stayed in the Futu camp at this time, but Lawless He still had no trace of him since last night, presumably he was still tracking the way to rob the three princes of Zhenla last night.

Li Hong is in front, Yang Sijian and Lin Shiling are one left and one right, and now the two of them have officially entered the land of the Six Edicts, what should happen next, the two of them still need to obey the arrangements and dispatches of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Lang Qiong Zhao had a festival with Meng Shezhao in his early years? What is the holiday? How long have you known Lang Qiongzhao? Take the two to the back garden of the palace, the fresh and warm breeze shines on the face, looking at the large thick white clouds overhead, worthy of the Yunnan Plateau, which is known as the south of the colorful clouds.

"Not long after the minister was transferred to Tibet by His Royal Highness, Langqiong Zhao took the lead in finding the minister, and many of the remnants of some old forces in Tibet were provided to the minister, and he always hoped to be able to pull down the title of King of Yunnan given by His Majesty, so he coincided with the minister. As for the holiday ...... between the two. Lin Shiling smiled predictively and continued: "Sheng Luoyan's biological mother, that is, the princess of Xinuluo, was actually the wife of Langqiong Zhao in her early years, and she was robbed by Xinuluo, so it is naturally easy for the ministers to divide them. ”

"That wouldn't be Sheng Luoyan's father, but it's actually Lang Qiongzhao, right?" Li Hong immediately asked gossipingly.

"Your Highness, you are joking, Xinu Luo is indeed Sheng Luoyan's biological father, but it is also because of Sheng Luoyan's mother that Lang Qiong Zhao and Sheng Luo Yan have always been at odds, but since His Majesty gave him the title of King of Yunnan in Xinuluo, Lang Qiongzhao's hostility towards Xinu Luo has been somewhat restrained, this time after roughly knowing the purpose of your Royal Highness, Lang Qiong Zhao is ready to tear his face with Xinuluo." Lin Shiling and Yang Sijian sat down on both sides after Li Hong sat in the pavilion.

"Langqiong Zhao wants to borrow my hand to help him get rid of Xinuluo, and then compete for the king of Yunnan, right? Do you agree? Li Hong glanced at Yang Sijian, who was still a little restrained next to him, and had to signal Yang Sijian to settle the dozens of literati he brought over first, leaving only Lin Shiling to talk to him.

"No, the minister is not stupid, how could he agree to his proposal, as far as the minister's current understanding of the Langqiong edict is concerned, among the six edicts, the Mengshe edict is the strongest, followed by the Lang edict, the Yue analysis edict, and then he Langqiong edict, I believe he knows in his own heart that even if Your Highness re-gives the title of king of Yunnan, there will be nothing to do with his Langqiong edict. He has only one request for his ministers, that is, no matter what, Xinuluo can no longer be the head of the six edicts, and as for how the court should rectify the six edicts next, he will obey them. Lin Shiling said confidently, and now it can even be said that Langqiong Zhao is already a king who can be instructed by him at will at this time, and there will be no thoughts against the Tang Dynasty at all.

"So what do you think is going to happen next?" Li Hong asked quietly.

After Lin Shiling entered Tibet, he began to make friends with the Langqiong Zhao purposefully, and he was able to continue to divide the internal division of the Six Edicts, so that the Langqiong Zhao and Xinuluo continued to be hostile to each other, which is enough to show that Lin Shiling had already guessed that he would rectify the Six Edicts next when he was transferred to Tibet.

"If the minister's prediction is good, we should meet tonight, and ...... However, because the minister did not know His Highness's plan for this time, he could not accurately guess whether there would be blood tonight. Xinuluo is suspicious, insidious and cunning by nature, but in the minister's opinion, this person is cunning, ruthless, and suspicious, but deep down, his nature is more afraid and inferior! The more aggressive he is, the more he shows that he is uneasy. The most important thing is that people never mention his arrogance when they talk about Xinuluo, and he has never shown this characteristic, so the minister has always believed that Xinuluo should be a man who can afford to let go, and a calm and experienced person in trouble, so it is not an exaggeration for him to make any decisions, unless he really rises up against Tang Zili. Lin Shiling frowned, considered the words, and said slowly.

"So, it's very likely that Xinuluo will choose to surrender unconditionally, and it's unlikely that he will raise an army?" Li Hong's face still didn't show any fluctuations, and he continued to ask lightly.

"Pretty much, the minister thinks that what needs to be guarded against is his son Sheng Luoyan, and the reason for this is ...... I don't think Your Highness understands. Lin Shiling's originally gloomy eyes were inexplicably more afraid when he looked at Li Hong.

Li Hong looked up at the top of the carved beams above the pavilion and sighed softly, Lin Shiling was right, people have been blinded by the insidious cunning, suspicious and ruthless of Xinuluo from beginning to end, but no one has ever discovered that under his distinctive characteristics, the arrogance that has always been narrated by people has never appeared in Xinuluo.

Xinuluo forced Shelong to pass on the throne to him back then, and now Lin Shiling reminded himself to be careful of Sheng Luoyan, in fact, he wanted to say that Sheng Luoyan might force Xinuluo to pass on the throne to him when the situation in Taihe City became more and more severe, and then he would raise troops against Tang and stand on his own.

The reason why Lin Shiling didn't dare to face himself and say the reason was because the "fine tradition" of persecuting the Zen position was happening after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and now Nanzhao is just following the example of the Tang Dynasty.

If it comes out of his mouth, he will feel embarrassed by himself and the royal family.

"In that case, Sheng Luoyan will be handed over to you." Li Hong glanced at Lin Shiling, and then continued to say expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Highness, the minister promises to see Sheng Luoyan to death with General Quan Yi, and will never let him ruin your plan." Lin Shiling stood up and saluted respectfully.

"It's not your character, just say what you want, you've been in front of me from the beginning, showing a look of no selfish distractions, why are you hesitating for something now?" Li Hong had a soft smile on his face, looked at Lin Shiling, who was standing motionless opposite, and asked.

"Minister...... The minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not, but if he doesn't say it, the minister is like a fish in his throat, and he has lost his duty as a loyal minister, so the minister still says it. The minister thought that dozens of literati led by Yang Sijian were afraid that it would be difficult for Dai Zhide to play the role of Dai Zhide in Tibet in the land of the Six Edicts, and if one of them was not done well, it would be self-defeating. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Hong asked with an eyebrow.

"Your Highness, you should know what happened in Chang'an City a few days ago, right? King Ying, King Yin, Princess Taiping teamed up in the court to drive the prince of the country to sacrifice wine Kong Zhiyue, this matter is now circulating in all corners of the Tang Dynasty, the minister does not rule out that there are literati deliberately walking rumors, in order to destroy the image of the court in the hearts of literati, Yang Sijian was once deposed by His Royal Highness, coupled with his daughter's disrespect to His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, now reuse Yang Sijian and these literati, the minister is afraid that it will not be as effective as Dai Zhide in Tibet, but will ....... ”

"Needless to say, there are other hidden secrets in Yang Sijian's coming here. But then again, it would be a great pity to put such a literati who had already engraved Confucianism in his bones in Chang'an. Now that I have a shortage of manpower, you know very well, so I have no choice but to use it first. Li Hong stretched out his hand and motioned for Lin Shiling to sit down.

Then he continued to say slowly: "Back then, you were asked to go to Tibet with Jinghui and Quan Yi, instead of putting you in Chengdu Mansion in Jiannan Province, I guess you haven't figured out why, right?" Although you said this today, although you are thinking about the court from the perspective of the court, are you still very confused in your heart? Why did Di Renjie go to Jiannan Road a few years late, instead of you Lin Shiling entering Jiannan Road a few years in advance to strike while the iron was hot? ”

"Your Highness is wise, the minister really thinks so, but His Highness doesn't say it, and the minister doesn't dare to ask, so he can only comfort himself in his heart, presumably His Highness's arrangement must have His Highness's intentions." Lin Shiling didn't get up this time, as for his own thoughts being said by Li Hong, for him, there was really nothing to hide.

In the face of the crown prince Li Hong, Lin Shiling never hid any of his emotions, or some of his thoughts, he knew better than any official in his heart that since His Royal Highness could give all this, he could take it back.

And if you want to realize your high-ranking officials and become a feudal official who governs one side, you must be more loyal and honest than others in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Whether it is Pei Xingjian or Di Renjie, they all belong to the same kind of people, if they send Di Renjie to Tibet, it is no different from continuing to put Pei Xingjian in Tibet. Jiannan Road is the land of my Tang Dynasty, whether it is the people or officials, since ancient times, they have regarded themselves as the people of China, with your character and the city government, including your means of doing things, you can solve those residual disputes in Jiannan Road in a short time, but the follow-up influence brought by it is not something that any of us can grasp, maybe ten years later, the imperial court will really send a large number of troops into Shu to suppress the rebels. ”

"Therefore, Di Renjie went to Chengdu Mansion to rectify the rule of officials, and dealt with it in a gentle and mellow manner, even if the officials of the entire Jiannan Province were dismissed, the people would not have any estrangement against my Tang Dynasty, and would only applaud. However, if the ministers enter Shu and sweep it away with the power of thunder, it will inevitably cause greater movement, and even shake the interests of the people and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, thus bringing you unclear hidden dangers. But...... His Royal Highness let the ministers enter Tibet, aren't they afraid that the minister's style will make the efforts of Lord Pei Xingjian and others go to waste? ”

"Tibet doesn't need to be gentle and mellow now, if you want them to have centripetal force and respect for my Tang Dynasty, you have to make them afraid of us first, so you are more suitable for Tibet than Di Renjie, but not for Jiannandao."

"Fear first, then respect?" Lin Shiling couldn't figure out why.
