Chapter 18: Burying the Chu Palace (1)

Li Wei said, "Zhou Guogong, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wu Chengji sat honestly in the corner of Hu Huán. Behind the scenes, he and Wu Sansi had a lot of discussions about Li Wei, and when they met, they were terrified and very afraid. After all, Li Wei crawled out of the pile of dead people, although in the court, Li Wei said, I hate to disperse all the palace maids in the palace and let them reunite with their families. But Wu Chenghei is not stupid, he knows that if he says that, once he provokes this emperor, what will happen to him, so even a character like Pei Yan has to put down his body and hug his aunt's thigh tightly.

Li Wei said again: "Wan'er, bring me my big map of the world." ”

"Wow," Wan'er stood up and went to get the map.

Wan'er has developed more than half of it, and she has become more graceful, and every step she takes is like a willow dancing a graceful beauty, and she smeared some fat powder, and the fragrance rushed into Wu Chenghe's nose like nothing.

Wu Chengsi thought in his heart, what a wonderful person, no wonder King Yong was emotional for her.

I just thought in my heart, for Wan'er, he doesn't have the courage to move this evil thought yet.

Bringing the map, Li Wei spread it on the table and said, "Zhou Guogong, a lot of things happened some time ago, including the fact that the Qinling put jān as a staff member next to my second brother, and many people felt angry after hearing it. But I also have some arrangements in Tibet. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is extremely talented, how can you lose to Lun Qinling?"

"That's not necessarily, but you have to take precautions to act, usually don't burn incense, and when something happens, will the Buddha help? Definitely not. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has a point."

The attitude is as respectful as a docile kitten, but Li Wei knows the courage of this person, and it is this person's advice in history that has killed countless loyal ministers and clan brothers, and even he himself wants to be the emperor. In addition, it is a good sè, who took away the beautiful concubine of the minister Qiao Zhizhi, and the lady did not obey, committed suicide and died.

Li Wei has never had a good impression of this Wu Chenghei in his heart, but for the sake of his mother, he temporarily made peace with him.

"The people outside say that I am very wise, and that is a prize, but I never dare to relax in preparation. Not only Tibet, but also a country, you see," Li Wei pointed to the territory of Dashi: "Many people think that this is the Qunyi people, which is wrong, the history of civilization in this land is no less than our Central Plains." And the soldiers in this country are very fierce, you see, now they are focusing on the Berbers and the Byzantines. The scale of the battles on both sides is not small, and the big food still does not have the upper hand. Such a strong country, supported by the abundant food of the Tianzhu Sindh region, once the attention returns to the east, take a look again. ”

Pointing his finger on the map, to Shi Guo, Cao Guo, and even to the Broken Leaf City that was built.

I don't understand the military Wu Chenghe, but even if Persia is counted, it's too far away, but the areas Li Wei refers to are all forbidden by the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for Wu Chenghei not to know.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that this country is even more powerful than our Tang Dynasty?"

"That's not either, it's mainly the distance, you can see if you look at the map, how far is it from the Great Eclipse to the area I just pointed to? But how far is it from where we are in Chang'an? The distance is far, the supply will be very inconvenient, coupled with the weather environment, our Tang Dynasty army is very unfamiliar, once the war starts, our Tang army will inevitably be at a disadvantage because of the constraints of distance and weather terrain environment. Just as the Great Eclipse crossed the Green Ridge, our Tang Dynasty army was doomed to defeat in the battle. Forced war, our army is disadvantaged. However, I have some arrangements, including a large number of Western envoys this time. ”

"Your Majesty is a United Persian?"

"Yes, this is not in a hurry, but I have come with their country to make jā flow, prepare for the union of the two countries, let them fight each other, and I will support some more weapons in exchange for their balance, which is also a soldier who surrenders without a fight."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I don't dare to say that I am wise, I said on the day I took the throne, I can fight as little as possible, every time I fight, I will lose my life and money, and I will inevitably become a poor soldier and a poor soldier after many battles. But calling you here today is another matter. Both the Byzantines and the Franks were Catholic, and Byzantium was a country that historically belonged to the Roman Empire and had ties to many people in the Frankish kingdom since ancient times. Even today, the two countries are very friendly. Just the princess of the Frankish kingdom came to the East Palace. ”

Wu Chengsi's face changed slightly, knowing why the emperor called him to come.

Ignoring him, Li Wei said to himself: "Originally, I didn't want to take care of this matter, and Wei Liangdi also persuaded me not to take care of it, but after thinking about it carefully, I still took care of it." Not for anything else, but for the future of the country, as well as some of my important plans. There is nothing remarkable about this princess in itself, but she is a princess after all, and it is related to the face of the Frankish kingdom, and it is also more or less related to the face of the Byzantine Empire, and she is still a puritan, and the Catholic Church has sent several bishops on this trip, and they admire her very much. Once the Duke of Zhou forcibly took a concubine, the Byzantine Empire would be very angry, and not only that, but this fanatical religion would also be angry. My plan will fail. ”

Wu Chengsi was silent.

Li Wei said again: "In the evening, I said a word to the Queen Mother, you are relatives, as long as you don't overdo government affairs and clan affairs, I will try my best to give all of your martial artists glory and wealth, and the beauty of all relatives." Come on, take out 500 gold and 500 silk silks for Zhou Guogong and reward them to Wuqing. ”

Li Wei is very rich in his hands, and so far the property of Liang Lu and others has not been given to the imperial court. There is no way, including some forces in Di Renjie's hands, to put it mildly, it is a group of underworld raised by the government, and Di Renjie has not been disbanded. The overall situation is undecided, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare.

These forces and money are set aside for use. Li Wei himself is very economical, and taking out this batch of money is a very generous reward.

"The minister doesn't dare to take it."

"It's okay, I reward you, and you will receive it," Li Wei said word by word, his voice did not aggravate, but his tone became very calm, and he said: "But Wu Qing don't spoil my plan." Whether it is relatives or brothers, we must put the country first, and tolerance is limited in the end. ”

"Yes."

Looking at his departing back, Wan'er asked, "Will he be willing, just now he looked at the concubines with evil eyes." ”

"I also saw it, don't worry, if they knew the proportions, I would be the glory of the queen mother's family, if I didn't know ......" Li Wei pressed his hand down. Sooner or later, the account will be settled, but not now.

There was no word all night, the storm stopped, and the next day it was a sunny day.

brought two younger brothers and a younger sister, and had to add a hundred guards.

The emperor wanted to go out on patrol in person, and hundreds of civil and military officials sent him off.

Coming to Pei Xingjian, Li Wei said: "Pei Qing, I will give you the affairs of the Western Regions." ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ministers will live up to their mission."

"Everyone, please go back, I'm just going to the nearby states and counties to have a look, and I'll be back." As he spoke, he got into the chariot and galloped out of the city.

I didn't walk more than ten miles out of the city, and suddenly the guard in front stopped, and a guard rode back to the front of the Chinese army and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a fan in front of you who blocked the road, saying that the old man had a gift to give." ”

"Fan? Where's the Fan? ”

"He looks like a Tibetan man," Shì Wei said hesitantly.

"Bring him here."

"Whoa."

shì Wei brought this name over, and the one Li Wei knew was one of the personal shì guards beside the Wulu clan, and said, "Mang Saruo, how did you come to our Central Plains?" ”

Mang Saruo gave a big gift and said in jerky Tang Dynasty dialect: "I have seen Your Majesty, my head of the family said that you can ascend the throne as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at about this time." The cloak I gave last time was not very good-looking, so I wove another cloak for Your Majesty in the city of Luoqi to congratulate Your Majesty on his enthronement. ”

As he spoke, he took out a gift box from his arms, and Li Wei's personal shì guard took it and handed it to Li Wei. Open it and take a look, it is still the bottom of the big red sè, but there is a vivid five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread, the bottom of the cloak is a rich peony ornament, and there is a line of small poems: Jun is in the east and waves, the concubine is in the west and wipes away tears, Qinghai snow and sand become red soil, the big river rolls into thoughts, the piper in the cold mountain does not return, the lonely clouds are wet in the mountains, and the first He Lang laughs slowly when he climbs to the top, can you know that the poor geese are bitter?

"Who wrote this?" Li Lingyue looked at this little poem curiously, with countless question marks flashing in her eyes.

"You...... It's not up to you," Li Wei didn't know how to explain.

Even Mang Saruo's feelings for his own master and this Tang Emperor are also mixed in his heart, and he can't tell whether he is an enemy or a friend.

"How is your master?"

"It's fine."

"How is the king?"

"It's fine."

"I'm going to go on patrol soon, write a handwritten letter to you first, you go to jā to my Di Shilang of the court, let him settle you, wait for me to come back, prepare some gifts, let you take it back." Speaking of which, Li Wei was a little arrogant, he was busy every day during this time, and the Lu family sent gifts and expressed concern, and he seemed to have forgotten their mother.

"How long shall I wait?"

"I don't know, you settle down first, besides, I'll think about it on the way to see if there is any plan that can be used as a reference for your master, remember, I also care about their safety."

If Mangsa doesn't think so, then it's your son, and you care about his safety, rightly so.

Li Wei wrote the letter, and Jā came into his hands.

Liu Renliang and Li Yiyan have already walked over.

Looking at the big red cloak and then at this fan, Liu Renliang asked in a low voice, "Is that the princess?" ”

"Yes, she calculated the time just right, and it is estimated that I will be able to ascend the throne as the emperor during this time, so I embroidered this cloak as a congratulatory gift and sent someone to the Eastern Capital."

"This woman is amazing."

"Yes, this woman is only less wise than my mother."

"Forgiveness has the audacity to say, how do you plan to arrange their mother in the future?"

"Liu Qing, to be honest, I haven't thought about it until now. But it's early, and I'll wait for her to fight the Lun brothers down. ”

"It's not easy."

"Not necessarily, don't forget, she has great righteousness, and her military talent is not as good as that of Qinling, but in terms of political wisdom, Qinling may not be as good as her. As for the Dou Downing Brothers...... "Li Wei shook his head, he didn't know how to arrange it.

"I think it's an opportunity."

"It's an opportunity, will she give up Tubo, even if she gives up Tubo, she has to treat the Tubo people, this is the difficult place. Let's talk about it. After saying that, Li Wei looked to the west, the west was a plain, and at the end of the plain were several low hills. There was some regret in his eyes, and he thought in his heart that he was a Tubo after all, although he was born in the same sheep, he was not a pure Tubo race, otherwise if he got the help of this woman, he would join forces with the Wulu clan in the art of power and conspiracy, and he could also break hands with his mother......

With a sigh, he returned to the car.

The brigade galloped again, but after a while, several hundred soldiers stopped again.
