The water pavilion by the Xingqing pool is hung with thin bamboo curtains on all sides, which can not only ensure light transmission, but also block the invasion of the cold wind.

He finally understood the power of the feudal emperor who could decide life and death with one word, and wondered in his heart, should he just take the road and escape, or did he coerce Li Longji and force him to let him out of the city?

In addition to the two of them in the room, there are also Gao Lishi and two chamberlains, Gao Lishi is white and fat, not like the appearance of peerless martial arts, the two chamberlains are thin and tall, whether their eyes are shining, whether their temples are bulging, they can't tell for a while, but since Li Longji let the two of them accompany him, most of them play the role of guards, they are bare-handed, they may not really be able to fight, as for escaping, it seems that there is Xingqing Pond outside, a fierce man pierced down, sneaking dozens of meters, it's not a big problem, it's just that the water is also a little colder.

Just as his thoughts were infinitely diverging, a voice sounded coldly,

"What, nothing more?"

Liu Ji came back to his senses and replied with a bow: "The minister doesn't know what to say." ”

"Just say it."

"The minister said bluntly, His Majesty's love for the heart, so that the minister is frightened, if he is in the court, he can't ask for it, and even with the big mansion has been solved, why not, but the minister is a border general, only sixteen years old, and wants to drive for His Majesty for thirty years, is it possible to throw the princess in the capital to guard the widow? Or did the minister take off this robe and go to the palace gate to be a guard? Won't it live up to your majesty's expectations? ”

Li Longji's face slowly calmed down, and his tone regained a little heat, because he had said that he would not let a warrior like him be a gatekeeper.

"Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ji understood that his words had moved him, so he hurriedly continued while it was hot.

"Now my Tang Dynasty is subdued by the world, and the four Yi come to the court, it seems that there is no boundless worry, but in fact, in the north, the Khitan and Xi people are all fox butterflies, and the dynasty is attached to the twilight rebellion, and it is not credible, the west, the two ends of the first mouse of Gelulu, the sudden cavalry is ready to move, the hearts of the Zhaowu countries are different, and the big cannibals are looking at the delay, which are all great variables, and the ministers also pointed to them, promoted to the rank of lord, and made meritorious contributions, how can they be willing to live in this capital land, walking horses and dogs?"

Li Longji finally laughed at what he said and shook his head.

"This sounds true, with your temperament, if you put it in the capital, you will cause trouble for me when you see the sky, and it is easy for people to catch the handle, you have to let it go out to experience a few years, and I wonder if I am anxious, but what about this child, I have suffered so much grievance, and I can't talk to anyone."

Liu Ji immediately made an expression of admitting his mistake: "It's the minister who is reckless, please ask Your Majesty for permission, let the minister go to make amends with the princess, and the minister will definitely untie the knot for the princess." ”

"Your mouth, okay, you caused the matter, let you try, although she is not a princess yet, but she is also my child, it is appropriate to pay respect."

"Obey."

Liu Ji responded honestly, coaxing a girl is safer than coaxing a tiger, he wants to leave as soon as possible, but Li Longji clearly doesn't want to let him go.

"Let's leave this as it is for the time being, I want to ask you if the royal family is completely destroyed, as it is written in the war report that you are alone, deep in the barren, provoking the Nebrasian people to fight among themselves, and thus taking the capital in one fell swoop, I want to ask you, is its royal family completely destroyed?"

It turned out to be this incident, Liu Ji did not doubt him, and described the cause and effect of the incident in detail, of course, the part of the queen was hidden.

“...... At that time, the mountain people rose up, killed all the magnates in the city, when my Tang soldiers and horses arrived, only saved some female dependents, and later, the minister wanted to use the influence of his queen to surrender the western cities, but did not think that she had a different heart, rebelled in Zhuzhong, and burned herself in the palace after the defeat, therefore, there was only one royal daughter left in the royal family of Nepal, named Elcirea. ”

Li Longji nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, it's this El What Ya, she is currently the regent of the country of Nepal, and she sent the minister of the country named Mari Beggar, and brought her national letter, I can't imagine that an orphan girl from a foreign country can still write a hand in Chinese, do you think, is this country a vassal of our dynasty according to the example of Western Tibet?" ”

Mariqi, Great Minister? In Liu Ji's mind, he remembered the appearance of the mountain man's uncle, and Li Longji asked himself, what do you want to do?

Liu Ji replied while thinking: "This country is far away, and when it is urgent, you can't apply for help, and the minister thinks that how to settle his country depends on how His Majesty treats the hometown of Tibet?" ”

"Go on." Li Longji was suddenly interested, because he was having a headache about it.

"The minister expected that the Tubo people would not want to change, they only planned to belong in name, but in fact they were recuperating in order to talk about the future, but in that case, they would live up to the Zhangxiong, the Nibra, and the Tianzhu states who were committed to our dynasty, they had offended the Tubo people for our dynasty, and one day, the revival of Tibet, they would definitely not let them go, and our dynasty was too far apart, and when the news arrived, I was afraid that it would be too late, and this was the first thing the minister wanted to say."

"These small countries, with the same interests, do not want to see the revival of Tibet, if it really comes to that point, they can no longer believe in our dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will lose the support of the entire southwest, and the Tubo people will no longer have to worry about the future, and their momentum will be better than before, this is not what Your Majesty wants to see."

Li Longji was silent, if it wasn't for the dilemma, why couldn't he come up with a proper way up to now.

Liu Ji continued: "If Tubo still occupies the homeland, it will sprout in less than three years, because in their bones, there is only invasion, and any one of them becomes Zampu, otherwise it is not enough to make the big clans in the country work together, and the nature cannot be changed. ”

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"There is a way, whether it is good or bad must be measured by His Majesty."

"Say it quickly." Li Longji couldn't help but lean forward and make a listening posture.

"The minister said in vain, it is very simple, to Luo some cities as the governing place, the establishment of the capital of the protectorate, the soldiers stationed in Helong here, no need for 150,000, imitation of Fan Yang, about 100,000, the army is familiar with the people of the plateau, in the future can be appropriately attracted to the Tubo people to enlist, one is differentiation, the other is assimilation, there are 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you can let Zhangxiong, Nepal and Tianzhu countries work together, even if the Tubo people really have different intentions, most of the imperial edicts can immediately gather the soldiers and horses of all countries, and attack from all sides, and at the same time the Tang Dynasty sent troops from Guanzhong to unite the Subi Department, It will not be more difficult to pacify the remnants of Tibet who have no virtue than this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Longji suddenly showed a surprised expression, not because of how profound his remarks were, but because such words actually came from the mouth of a young man known for brute strength, which seemed so untrue.

Yesterday's greedy and lustful Liu Ji, today's well-organized and eloquent Liu Ji, which one is his true side?
