Chapter 591. In the first year of Longshuo, the fertile land of the crescent

Confucius said: The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. [This site has a new domain name. Initials, previously registered accounts can still be used] Time is really like a flying shuttle, in a blink of an eye, it has been three months since Li Jie came back from Chang'an, time is like the best brush, during this period of time, the traces of Fujian in Chang'an have been continuously brushed clean, and now there is not much left.

Now Chu Suiliang is really sitting on the position of a powerful minister, and the government and the opposition are even more powerful, even hotter than the former eldest grandson Wuji, and the officials of the Luo family in Guanlonghe have joined one after another, as early as a month ago, Chu Suiliang's routine report to Li Jie has been completely broken with the stability of his power.

This is also a helpless move, Li Jie was angry and did not push his trusted henchman brother to the throne, relying on the foreign surname of the minister, after all, it is not a long-term solution.

Fortunately, the situation in Chang'an was as expected as always, and even Chu Suiliang's strength completely pushed the allies and relatives that Li Jie had expected to give him to the side of the eunuchs.

As for the four major leaders and eunuchs, Wang Zhi, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, the connection between the Fujian State and Li Jie is still quite close, this is actually a helpless thing, although Li Jie handed over all the military power of the inner court to the eunuchs, but the financial power is all in the hands of the outer court households, especially Chu Suiliang is still keeping an eye on it, the eunuchs are particularly powerful, and there is no trade reward supported by the Fujian State, even if Li Jie crosses the real four eunuchs from the Ming Dynasty, they can't play.

As a result, the four big eunuchs never stopped reporting on the situation in Chang'an for half a month.

"Hehe, interesting, next year will be changed to the first year of Longshuo, marking the revitalization of Longwu, and a full-scale war with Liaodong, against him Li Tai or against my Fujian, Chu Suiliang is a good metaphor to play."

Pinching Wei Zhongxian's letter, the corners of Li Jie's mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, a few days ago, the Fujian State was knighted, which was equivalent to a thorough and self-reliant door, and Chang'an was on an equal footing, and even this atmosphere was transmitted to the mainland, and the officials of several states in the south of the Yangtze River spontaneously attributed themselves to the Fujian flag, and the taxes and food were no longer escorted to Chang'an, Guanzhong, but were transported to the southeast governor of Quanzhou and Fujian in the south.

In order to maintain the authority of the Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang, a powerful minister who was picked up by Li Jie, wanted to use this hand to remind the people of the world that even if he Li Jie was strong, he still passed the Tang Dynasty name, and Chang'an still pressed the Beijing Division.

"Your Highness, do you want us to set the era name independently?"

Xu Jingzong quite respectfully bowed his hand in front of the emperor, although the old guy had a high status after arriving in Fujian, he really had no real power, this time Li Jie almost entrusted him with all the affairs of Chang'an, looking at the groveling appearance of his colleagues who pressed on his head in the past, pretending to be good at forcing Xu Jingzong to do more and more unique taste, and he was extremely enthusiastic about doing things.

However, Li Jie waved his hand indifferently: "Let him go, Chang'an uses the Longshuo year name, and we also use the Longshuo year name, just a name, now the immigrants from Guanzhong to Fujian are affordable, and they have the strength in hand, so if they want to change the year name that day, they will change the year name." ”

Changing the name of the year is the emperor, the power of the central government, Li Jie said it so easily, domineering, hearing that Xu Jingzong was also excited, and bowed heavily: "Obey the king's orders." ”

Follow this main business, cheer up!

After Xu Jingzong left, Li Jie couldn't help but pick up Wei Zhongxian's letter again, and the corners of his mouth continued to smile, now Li Zhi has been living a really aggrieved life, and his every move was strictly implemented by the eunuchs in accordance with Zhou Li, as well as Li Shimin's "Emperor Fan".

Moreover, it seems that after the failure of encouraging Li Zhi to martyrdom that day, Queen Wang was really disappointed in this husband, except for the daily routine court meeting to represent her relatives and Chu Suiliang, for several months, Queen Wang and Li Zhi had no record of intercourse, thinking of Li Zhi's bitterness, Li Jie, who was bitter and hateful, was really happy.

However, after the happiness, the slightest sorrow climbed up Li Jie's brow again, and dropped the letter, Li Jie couldn't help but open the window and look at the western sky.

A small team, there has been no news for a month, Yu Private, he bet on the two closest people, Yu Gong, this team of more than forty people, but shoulders the future fate of tens of millions of people in the three empires.

"Hey, I really shouldn't let her go, I really shouldn't let him go!" Staring at the clouds and mist in the west, Li Jie couldn't help but say twice in a row with sorrow.

In the panic of Cavill in the salt desert, Li Jie's team that was worried about him also entered the most difficult moment at this time.

Even if the camels fell in the harsh salt desert, they planned to cross the salt desert in five days, so Hou Jie and his party also brought enough water, camel jerky, and wolf jerky as supplies in Hulantu Town, but the plan did not include getting lost.

After seven days of walking for seven days, Paul, a Christian priest, finally figured out a way to move forward at night, using the North Star as a reference.

The water had been drunk two days earlier, and even the whole team needed urine to replenish the water, the camels that had been sucked blood fell out of business one after another, the silk goods that were originally used to make appearances were also discarded in the desert, and a few people were lost again, and the team was really at a life-and-death juncture.

The sun is cruelly scorching the earth, and the rising hot air has even distorted the space in the distance, and now, Li Que has also reached the limit, carrying the originally fluttering camel parasol at this moment, like carrying a mountain on his back, staggering forward.

Everything seems to have become meaningless, the scene in front of him is blurred, and in the whole mind, there is only walking, walking, walking, I don't know when there will be another plop behind me, maybe someone has fallen, but Li Que has no heart to turn back, and has been staggering, walking, walking!

I don't know when, it seems that a touch of green in the distance finally appeared in my eyes, licking her chapped lips, Li Que longingly stretched out her hand to the front, but this time, it made her completely lose her balance and fall to the ground......

I don't know how long it took, suddenly a touch of sweetness slowly flowed down his throat, his chapped lips continued to suck greedily, and in the haze, a joy rippled in Li Que's heart, where is this? Could it be that I have returned to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven? It's so warm.

No, there will be no pain there in the Immortal Heaven, why is the pain still pervasive? Leng Buding's doubts rose in his heart, and a surge of power surged up, Li Que opened his eyes suddenly, and a hand was about to fall on her cheek.

"Ah!!h The little girl screamed like this, covering her face, Li Que suddenly retreated to the edge of the nomadic tent bed, and also made Hou Jie jump a lot, staggered to his feet and took a step back, and the water bladder squirted out some water.

"Okay, I haven't seen any beautiful women, so I don't want to see your big teeth and ugly face." Seeing Li Que touching the mask on his face in a panic, Hou Jie couldn't help but glance at his head with disdain, but this sentence seemed to touch Li Que's sadness again, covering the still cold mask, Li Que lowered his head sadly.

Although he knew in his heart that this woman was just a substitute, but he felt her strong sadness, and for some reason, Hou Jie's heart still trembled violently, and he stiffened his head for a long time, then he turned back helplessly, and said softly: "Okay, I know that you want to leave your most beautiful side to the person you love the most, I didn't look at it, I just lifted your mask and fed you water, according to the gaze of our highness, how can you be an ugly bastard?" It must be a big beauty! ”

A sentence of leaving the most beautiful side of you to the person you love the most finally brought Li Que back to his senses, sighed, Li Que regained his former indifference, raised his head and asked coldly: "Where have we been?" ”

"I don't know exactly where it is, but it's considered to be out of the salt desert, and the people who should stay are still there." It seemed that the commander's indifference had also been restored, and Hou Jie shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

This is a small nomadic tribe, the Semites, but the former Zoroastrianism has been replaced by Islam, out of the tent, the top of the chief's tent, the stars and moons and the Islamic symbols shine in the sun, and the surrounding nomads are also wearing big turbans on their heads, with a big beard on their faces, and white robes, and Hou Jie has a virtue.

In fact, the turban is not a necessary feature for Muslims, and the Middle Easterners who need to walk in the desert all year round need to be necessary, shade their heads, and prevent wind and sand, only beard is an Islamic requirement, which seems to be the same as the Chinese body hair and skin, and the parents who receive it, should not be destroyed. Muhammad also demanded that the faithful not remove all beard hair.

What Hou Jie said is really right, everything should be there, the blind old man who is as thin as dead wood, obviously wants to swallow his breath in the next moment, but after the cruel salt desert, he is still here, silently and quietly gnawing on roast mutton and drinking goat's milk.

There were only eight mercenaries left, and the old mercenary Beannes, who was dressed differently, was also able to escape from the Cavill Salt Desert again in the embrace of death, but he was uncomfortable with the Christian Pastor Paul, as everyone in the tribe seemed to look at them with some strange and isolated eyes.

As for Wu Yuanqing, this time, he finally lost weight successfully, from at least more than 200 catties to more than 100 catties, but his loose skin was still like Zhu Bajie, grabbing a piece of lamb chops and gnawing on the fire, seeing Li Que's silver mask, he also raised goat's milk like a toast.

Looking at the past from afar, in the west, a beautiful picture scroll unfolded in front of Li Que, the nearby herd of cattle, sheep and camels, in the distance flat and grassy grassland, as if Li Que returned to his hometown of Wuyuan, the river was happily sprinkled with joy, and the clear river water was flowing endlessly, which should have arrived at the Mesopotamian plain marked on the map.

"It's beautiful! No wonder my father-in-law is haunted by this place and always misses it. Looking back at the salt desert in the distance, which was still shrouded in hell under the scorching sun, Li Yuer couldn't help but murmur a .......
