Text 61 State affairs and the secret war
Li Zhi obviously cares a lot about Li Xian and Li Zhe, unlike Li Hong, who never cares about learning on the way.
Li Xian and Li Zhe also came prepared, and after eating, the two of them respectfully elaborated on the questions that had been prepared one by one, and asked Li Zhi respectfully.
Li Zhi naturally has to answer all questions, and being able to show his knowledge in front of his son makes him feel quite accomplished and proud.
Li Zhi's eloquent talk made Li Xian and Li Zhe's eyes full of gold stars, full of admiration and worship, sighing that he would have to ask his father for advice in the future.
Li Hong sat on the side and yawned boringly, whether it was the philosophy in these specious ancient books of the sages, or the summary of the previous dynasty in the history books, in Li Hong's view, it was: crying when reading ancient books - worrying about the ancients. I don't know how to look forward, I don't know how to forge ahead and innovate. Two words, pedantic!
Li Xian and Li Zhi looked at Li Hong provocatively from time to time, as if to say, look at how favored we are in front of our father, how can we be like you, you don't learn every day.
This kind of low-level competition for favor, Li Hong didn't pay attention to it at all, if it weren't for the queen mother always secretly pinching his thighs, I'm afraid he would have fallen asleep on the table.
Li Zhi didn't know what to be happy about today, and after arguing with Li Xian and Li Zhe for a long time, he began to put away his smile and said with a straight face: "Okay, you two go back to your palace, I still have something to do to take the school and the prince of the Tang Dynasty." ”
A hint of imperceptible loneliness flashed in the eyes of Li Xian and Li Zhe, and they got up and saluted at the same time: "Yes, the son-in-law obeys the order, and the son-in-law retires." ”
After Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand to signal them to retreat, Wu Mei's study was left with Li Hong and his parents.
Using the lid of the cup to flick the steaming new tea in the bowl, Li Zhi said calmly: "The Tuyuhun King Nuo Haobo and the Princess Honghua have led the remnants of the Tuyuhun army into Liangzhou, Hong'er, what do you think should be done?" ”
Some time ago, I reminded my father that Tubo and Tuyuhun were at war, but my father didn't care much about it, and let the two countries clash, and now that Tuyuhun was about to fall, my father remembered how to face the increasingly powerful threat of Tubo.
But at this moment, Tuyuhun is already in the general trend, and how easy is it to restore the country from the hands of the strong Tubo? What's more, in history, Tuyuhun was also completely wiped out by Tubo this year.
"The Book of Sui" contains: Tugu has Qinghai and hills. It is so vulgar that it is easy to square horses and say that it is a dragon species. Taste the Persian grass horse into the sea, because of the birth of the horse, travel thousands of miles a day, so the world called the Qinghai horse. These good horses may be the iron horses that Tubo will use to deal with my Tang Dynasty in the future. Li Hong watched his father fiddle with the bowl and said lightly.
"What do you think?" Li Zhi's expression was still unfazed, and he asked lightly.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has used soldiers in the east and west, and for some reason, some indecisive fathers in the court have always had their own opinions on foreign affairs.
And when it comes to foreign affairs, my father will be like a real superior, and he will always listen to other people's opinions in his heart first, and then express his own opinions.
"Since you have received a request for help from the king of Tuyuhun, Erchen thinks, I am afraid that the envoys of Tubo are already on their way to Chang'an at this time. The reason why Tubo sent envoys to Tuyuhun is just to explain to you the reasons why you sent troops to Tuyuhun, so as to delay and restrain you from sending troops to Tuyuhun quickly. But regardless of your attitude, Tubo will never withdraw its troops from the Tuyuhun King City. Li Hong looked at the leisurely Li Zhi and said.
Wu Mei sat next to him without saying a word, being able to sit here at this time is enough to explain His Majesty's thoughts now, the undercurrent between the three of them is far from over, Li Zhi doesn't want to end it now, he still wants to see what extent his desire for power has swelled, whether it is himself or Li Hong.
After all, he is only thirty-four years old now, and he is in his prime, no matter how much he values Li Hong, he will never allow Li Hong to easily touch the right on the dragon chair now.
"It's rare for you to have such a thoughtful mind, and you're right. Nuo Haobo hoped to lead his people to continue the migration to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and the envoy sent by Lu Dongzan of Tibet was indeed on the way, but there was still a letter from Tibet on my desk. ”
"Aunt Wencheng?" Li Hong exclaimed.
"Not bad!" Li Zhi accentuated his tone and said, "Wencheng hoped to be able to make peace with Datang again, but I refused. ”
"Lu Dongzan, why isn't this old thing dead?" After Li Hong heard that his father had refused to make peace, his heart was relieved, and he muttered in the language of the market.
This two-pronged move to stop the Tang Dynasty's plan to quickly use troops to Tuyuhun, I am afraid that in addition to the treacherous and cunning Lu Dongzan, the current Tubo minister Ge Erdongzan, with his IQ, I am afraid he will not be able to make such a perfect strategy.
"Oh, Hong'er, do you know Lu Dongzan?" Li Zhi asked curiously.
This Lu Dongzan should be around seventy years old now, how could a little child know about the existence of this person.
"Of course I know, the stinging and cheetah have been mentioned in their intelligence." Li Hong said without concealment: "And Erchen is sure that this two-pronged move is probably from the hand of Lu Dongzan, after all, he knows our Tang Dynasty better than anyone in Tubo." ”
And this is nothing new, whether it is the father or the queen mother, or themselves, the three of them now even share all the intelligence resources of Lijingmen.
Although all the information needed to be filtered from his father before it reached Li Hong's hands, Li Hong was still surprised by the news that Lu Dongzan was still alive.
"A two-pronged approach?" Li Zhi pondered the meaning of Li Hong's words, his eyes slowly looked at Li Hong, and he said carefully: "Do you mean that Lu Dongzan is deeply afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to Tuguhun and help them restore the country?" So use Wen Cheng and the envoys to delay and persuade the Tang Dynasty to send troops? ”
"Yes, my father is wise. Father, the son-in-law, I beg you to send troops to Tuyuhun now, and at the same time immediately allow the remnants of Nuo Haobo and Aunt Honghua to move to the interior. Li Hong suddenly got up and said solemnly.
"No, if sending troops is not as good as Nuo Hao's wishes, wouldn't I be able to restore the country for him?" Li Zhi flatly refused.
"Father, so my son, please allow Nuo Haobo to enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty immediately, and his remnants of the army and clansmen will not pose any threat to the Tang Dynasty at all. What's more, as long as you send troops to take the Tuyuhun King City and drive away the Tubo people, it will be the land of my Tang Dynasty. Li Hong said excitedly.
In this way, it is completely possible to catch Tubo off guard, and it can also firmly control the land of Tuyuhun in his own hands, and at the same time use the old department that Tuyuhun has never fled to contain the increasingly powerful Tubo, the best of both worlds.
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, who was getting more and more excited the more he spoke, shook his head with a smile, motioned for him to sit down, and then said slowly: "Tubo has been friendly with the Tang Dynasty for generations, and has never invaded the Tang Dynasty and disturbed the stability of my people. It is enough to strictly warn Tubo, as for Nuo Haobo and his people, they can consider merging into the Tang Dynasty, and I can give him a state assassin history. ”
"Father......."
"Okay, that's all for this matter, although there are no troops, but in order to prevent them from attacking the Tang Dynasty, I will order someone to Chen Bing's border and strictly monitor their every move." Li Zhi comforted Li Hong, who looked disappointed.
Li Hong sighed helplessly from his heart, this is a great opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that Tubo is not firmly established, taking Tuyuhun can also give Tubo a certain warning and deterrence, so that they can honestly shrink on the plateau.
Now, if you don't send troops, history will develop as recorded in the history books, and it will be much more difficult for Datang to use troops at that time!
The four towns of Anxi go back and forth, like a tug-of-war, occupying for a while and retreating for a while, and always can't get the peace they deserve! All this stems from Tubo's eyesight on the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Zhi'an finished pacifying Li Hong, the three of them began to slowly turn the topic to the fact that the three of them had been fighting with the martial arts family during this period of time.
Li Zhi said suddenly: "Today, the uncle of the clan, Li Yuanliang and others, came to see me, hoping that Hong'er can give them a piece of the property in Taiyi City, Hong'er doesn't know what you plan?" At the beginning, my father promised you that Taiyi City would be at your disposal, so my father wanted to hear your opinion so that he could give an explanation to your uncle and grandfather. ”
I'll go, are you going to kick the ball to me again? Moreover, this rule was broken by the two of you first, using the martial arts family to disrupt the business rules of Taiyi City, and now you have to force yourself to face a thorny problem.
But when it comes to this matter, Li Hong is not good at stubble, the spearhead is pointed at Li Zhi, ready to stand on the united front with Wu Mei at any time and said: "Queen Mother, the mercury lost in the Taiyi City of Erchen a few days ago has been recovered in my aunt's mansion, and today my aunt and cousin also came to the East Palace to apologize to Erchen." But the son thought that this matter had violated the law of my Tang Dynasty, although he was a royal clan, but the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the minister also wanted to listen to the instructions of the queen mother. ”
After Li Hong finished speaking, Wu Mei's face was relaxed, but Li Zhi's face turned green, and this kid was clearly using Wu Shun and Helan Minyue to hit him.
As long as the queen agrees, the prince has the right to condemn Wushun's mother and daughter, and then if Li Hong is instructed by his mother to send Wushun's mother and daughter to him in a remote place, far away from Chang'an, he will have two less looks to be pampered.
So without waiting for Wu Mei to speak, Li Zhi quickly asked, "Hong'er, I heard that a carriage entered Taiyi City today?" Seems to be something more valuable? ”
Li Zhi also meant something, he was talking about the important items lost in the forbidden area of Taiyi City that Helan Minzhi took away, an area called the medicine room.
The things lost in the medicinal room were actually instigated by Wu Mei to do it by He Lanmin, and Li Zhi thought that his plan had succeeded, but he didn't want to be followed by Wu Mei's praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finch.
Liang Jianfang was killed by his own people, but his death was worthless, and he became an innocent victim of the game between the three parties.
