525.Chapter 525
Hou Junji was used again, which was very beneficial to the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, because he was indeed the most suitable person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that this is good for Datang, but it makes one person secretly angry about this matter, and this person is Ye Lian'er.
At the beginning, in order to avenge the Ye family, she teamed up with Lu Minzhi to move Hou Junji, originally she thought that as long as she waited for the opportunity, she would be able to completely kill Hou Junji.
never thought that less than a year later, Li Shimin would use Hou Junji again, and she had no good impression of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that Lu Minzhi is not in the capital, even if she wants to do something to Hou Junji, she doesn't have many helpers.
Ye Lian'er opened a pharmacy in the capital Chang'an, and there were a few good hands under him, but his people couldn't get close to Hou Junji's body at all, and it was almost impossible to take revenge through assassination.
After Ye Lian'er pondered for a while, she let out a light sigh, wanting to take revenge, I am afraid that she can only continue to endure it.

Luoyang City in late spring is already blooming and falling, and the wind is blowing with a trace of heat.
And at this time, the news of the capital reached Luoyang City.
Among them, Li Mubai spread the two poems he wrote in Luoyang City, which did not make Tang Zhou feel anything, and even some people used his poems to help Hou Jun gather out of the mountain, he didn't care much, what he really cared about was the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has frequently fought wars with its neighbors, and there are few defeats, and since Songtsen Gampo became the leader of Tubo, he has also gone to trouble with his neighbors from time to time, and these two rising powers have finally met.
Tubo is known as 200,000 troops, but Tang Zhou feels that this is actually a bit exaggerated, Tubo is vast, but the population is not very large, and the 200,000 army is only afraid that the men who can make their country can fight will be exhausted.
Moreover, Tubo has been fighting with Tuyuhun and Dangxiang for almost two years before provoking the Tang Dynasty, and they still have such a strong strength to provoke the Tang Dynasty?
In Tang Zhou's view, what Tubo really wants is just a Tang princess.
After Tubo was unified by Songtsen Gampo, it has slowly become stronger, but the degree of prosperity cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty, their culture is backward, the economy is backward, and Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious person, he doesn't want his country to be just strong by force, he also makes his Tubo like the Tang Dynasty, there is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
But if it is just done behind closed doors, it will definitely not work, so he wants to have a relationship with Datang, if Datang is willing to marry the princess to their Tubo, then the princess of Datang will be able to bring Datang's culture and some advanced technology to Tubo, and the two countries have this relationship, and it is convenient to trade.
Songtsen Gampo's idea was good, but he used the wrong method.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty was above the top, because they had the greatest emperor Li Shimin, and they had never taken other countries and tribes into their eyes, and they wanted to coerce the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess through provocation, which was simply impossible.
Heqin was very popular in the Han Dynasty, but even in that environment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still launched a fierce attack on the Xiongnu, Li Shimin's temperament was more arrogant than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his starting point was higher than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to make a move on the Xiongnu after years of development, but Li Shimin was not.
He is a son of heaven, half of the entire Tang Dynasty was defeated by him, if you talk about courage, he is much higher than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the face of Tubo's provocation, he will not consider compromise at all.
The battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty cannot lose, Tang Zhou is not worried about this, although it is said that it is two great powers, but the Tang Dynasty's heritage is much thicker than that of Tubo, even if it is consumed, Tubo can be defeated.
Tang Zhou is worried about the victory, after the victory, will Datang want to make peace?
The Tang Dynasty can't destroy Tubo, and even after Li Shimin's death, there have been many wars between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in a hundred years, will Li Shimin really marry a princess in order to recuperate?
In history, he was married, and he also wore a very high hat to this harmony, but in Tang Zhou's opinion, this harmony did not have much benefit to Datang, at most, it brought a few years of stability to Datang, but when Li Shimin and Songtsan Gampo were not there, this stability was broken in an instant.
Between the two countries, interests come first, and it is really useless to let a woman be a victim.
However, Tang Zhou only sighed about this matter, and after sighing, he focused on the affairs in Luoyang City again.
Now that he is the assassin of Luoyang City, he needs to deal with all the affairs of Luoyang City, and in addition to these official duties, he also has to take care of Tang Zhou's business in Luoyang City.
Since the development of the perfume of Xifangzhai and the opening of branches in various places, the business of the Tang Feng Dart Bureau has gradually improved, and the business of the Tang Feng Dart Bureau is booming, and several Dart Bureaus have opened in Luoyang City.
And because Luoyang City Dart Bureau is developed and it is convenient to transport goods, many businessmen from other places have poured into Luoyang City.
Luoyang City was the beginning of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, and the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty was successfully dug in the Sui Dynasty, so the transportation was very developed, and the establishment of the Dart Bureau added some convenience to the city.
Because of the convenience, Luoyang City has gradually become a transit point for commodity trading, which makes Luoyang City more prosperous than before.
Tang Zhou's fame coupled with his means of governing Luoyang City made Luoyang City develop rapidly, if this momentum is followed, I am afraid that Luoyang City will not be worse than the capital Chang'an in a few years.
And because of these developments, the lives of the people of Luoyang City are significantly better than before.
In the past, the people envied Chang'an City, but now everyone envies the people of Luoyang City even more.
And just when Luoyang City was developing rapidly, the salt price in Luoyang City was suddenly much higher than before.
Salt is related to the daily life of the people, it is indispensable, and the slightest fluctuation in the price of salt can cause civil unrest, the price of salt is much higher than before, even the most slow to react people, can also notice that things are different.
Tang Zhou discovered this earlier than the people of Luoyang City, not because he was a thorn and cared more about people's livelihood, but because he had Cuiming Building in Luoyang City, Cuiming Building was an inn, and he needed a lot of salt every day.
Whether it is in ancient times or in later generations, the fluctuation of salt prices can reflect many problems, after Tang Zhou listened to Song Xiaoyu's words, his brows suddenly condensed slightly, the price of salt is higher and does not have much impact on their Cuiming Building, they have the strength to buy salt, but the high price of salt has a huge impact on the people of Luoyang City.
Not to mention, this makes some people unable to eat salt because the price of salt is too high, and the uneasiness caused by the increase in the price of salt in the hearts of the people is enough to make Luoyang City unpeaceful.
