The mansion of Luo Yi, the commander of the Yanjun Wang Tianjie Army, Luo Yi is closing his eyes and recuperating. And no one next to him dared to take a breath, because they all knew that Luo Yi was very complicated, and it was okay to say that he was moody. And this kind of person, it is better to offend, especially these servants, if they are offended, it is possible to be killed. And Luo Yi doesn't know what he's thinking about now, and everyone doesn't dare to bother, after all, they should not interfere in this kind of master's affairs.

"The King of the County!" A man dressed in black said.

Luo Yi looked at this person, and then immediately said, "You guys go down!" ”

Those servants knew that Luo Yi should be talking about something very confidential, so they all hurried away. Because not only because of this Luo Yi's moodiness, but also because he is a servant, once he hears something that he shouldn't hear, I'm afraid he will really be killed by Luo Yi. At that time, you were charged with inquiring about important military aircraft without authorization, then you would have died unjustly, and your family would be affected. Therefore, in those big households, how capable is one thing, and the most important thing is to be shrewd. If you know what you should listen to, you should remember it, but there are some things that you must never listen to, and even if you hear it, it will rot in your stomach, and you can't let anyone know that you have heard it, otherwise it will be a disaster. Life is precious, so they all leave quickly, so as not to hear something they shouldn't hear, which is the saddest thing.

The man in black looked to be about thirty years old, but his eyes were full of shrewdness. And although the people in Luo Yi's mansion have seen this person. But I never knew his specific full name, but I knew that Luo Yi also called him Mr. Fu, and I didn't know anything else. And this Mr. Fu is Luo Yi's cronies. So you know they're talking about something very confidential.

"What's the matter, has the person who intercepted and killed the edict of the imperial history come back?" Luo Yi asked.

Mr. Fu replied, "No, I don't know why they didn't come back so quickly." ”

"Oh? Why didn't they come back? Luo Yi asked.

Mr. Fu shook his head and said, "This is not for sure, because they are all Turkic people, and if they go so deep into the hinterland of our Tang Dynasty, they may be discovered." Once discovered, it may be surrounded and intercepted by our Tang army. Then killed. Therefore, it is not a strange thing that they can't come back, but it is also a very normal thing. But. What I'm most concerned about is whether the edict is dead or not, and this is the biggest question. ”

"Yes! Why did the emperor send a royal history as the person who passed the decree this time, this is not in line with the norm! According to the convention, it should be the eunuchs who are sent as the messengers. And these eunuchs are easy to dismiss. All you need is money. But this imperial history is not certain. These imperial histories are responsible for supervising the hundred officials, what will they think? These imperial histories are all close confidants of the emperor, and they are intermediate court officials and have a good future, so I am most worried that they will expose me. If they see that I run this Jingzhou like an iron bucket, what will they think? I used the control of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic people's commerce to gain huge profits from it, so if the court ministers knew about it, would they be blushing? And. I'm afraid this is very fatal, if I am not careful, what I do will be exposed in front of Li Yuan. That's not good. Luo Yi said.

And Mr. Fu immediately said: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as we can do the edict of the imperial history, then the imperial court will not send people in the future." According to Chang'an's flying pigeon biography, the battle for the heir in Chang'an has reached a very critical time. The crown prince not only cut off the wings of King Qin, but even Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other generals were released. Even Cheng Zhijie was sent to Connecticut in Lingnan, I really don't know if he will be able to come back in this life. There are very few generals under King Qin, and even recently I heard that Fang Du, the right-hand man under King Qin, have also been released, and they don't know where to go. King Qin is only the eldest grandson Wuji left, but I also know the eldest grandson Wuji, although he is King Qin's brother-in-law, but his ability is much worse than that of Fang Du and the others, so there is no need to worry. ”

"And most of the crown princes have begun to celebrate now, they are about to defeat the king of Qin, and then they can seize the throne step by step. But they didn't know that Li Shimin was definitely a generation of heroes, how could he just accept his fate? Even, I suspect that this Li Shimin deliberately released all his subordinates to dispel their suspicions and make them happy. Once they get carried away, it will be time for Li Shimin to make a move. This time, Li Shimin most likely wants to solve the problem once and for all, not only to solve the crown prince, but even to solve his father. ”

Luo Yi immediately asked in shock: "Does he want to... Kill... Father? ”

Luo Yi really couldn't imagine that if Li Shimin actually did such a thing as killing his father, it would be terrible. Even Luo Yi would not think that a person who killed his father could sit on the throne. Since ancient times, no emperor who killed his father has been able to really sit on the throne, after all, this is already a serious violation of morality. No one can accept a man who kills his father as emperor, because he can kill even his own father, so what can not be done?

"That's not it, but this time he is probably going to force Li Yuan to abdicate, and Li Shimin is already a sad person. Li Yuan actually chose to favor the eldest son, he chose to favor the eldest son, and then squeezed out Li Shimin. And how could Li Shimin tolerate Li Yuan, because Li Shimin was already sad. Li Yuan is so partial to the eldest son of the crown prince, although there is nothing wrong with the primogeniture inheritance system, but Li Shimin thinks that Li Yuan should be treated fairly and should not be biased towards the crown prince. In fact, this is also a dispute between Lichang and Lixian, in fact, they are not wrong, they are all for the continuation of Datang. In order to avoid the princely struggle in later generations, Li Yuan insisted on standing up and favored Li Jiancheng. And Li Shimin thinks that he is much better than Li Jiancheng, and he can lead Datang to get better and better, and he should be virtuous. None of them are wrong. But the major affairs of the court are like this, there is no absolute right, and there is no absolute wrong. In fact, there is no right or wrong at all. Only whether it is in their own interests or not. ”

And once Li Shimin chooses to rebel, there are only two outcomes in the end. One is that Li Shimin rebelled and killed Li Jiancheng, and then Li Shimin forced Li Yuan to abdicate. In this way, Li Shimin will successfully inherit the throne, and he will inevitably face a major purge. When the time comes, all those who do the crown prince will be purged out. And you ...... Dongong."

Of course, Luo Yi knows that he has a deep relationship with Li Jiancheng. So if Li Shimin becomes the emperor, he will definitely be the one who will be purged. And at that time, I am afraid that even if it is not purged, it will be removed from military power. The last step by step knife Chang'an served. As an old fritter who has been in troubled times for many years, of course he knows the role of military power, and Luo Yi is unwilling to be relieved of military power. So when Luo Yi heard this, he strengthened the thoughts in his heart.

Mr. Fu continued: "And even Li Shimin did not succeed in his rebellion. Li Jiancheng successfully counterinsurgency. Nadong Weng, your military power is also destined to be relieved. Therefore, at that time, I am afraid that you will also enter the court as an official, and you will not be able to be a prince here. Now the imperial court has gradually retracted the military power, and then even the personnel power of the civilian officials has been retracted. This is enough to show that the imperial court has begun to cut down the feudal domains, gather the power of those local princes back then, and then deprive them of military power. Even if the crown prince becomes the emperor, he will not let you go, because this is what any emperor has to do. Not because you're the crown prince is the same for everyone. ”

Luo Yi clenched his fists tightly, and then said, "Since I am a prince of the troubled times. Why should I be a courtier to others? And I am also a person with the mandate of the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible for me to surrender to the Li family. And I have 80,000 Heavenly Festival troops under my command, so why can't I defeat a country? Moreover, I have contacted foreign help, which is the Turks. As long as the Turks are willing to help me, then I can also get a good chance to dominate the world. ”

And Mr. Fu is also excited, obviously very happy about this result, because as long as Luo Yi can seize the world, then he can also become the founder of the country! And they have also contacted foreign aid, that is, the Turks, as long as the Turks can help, then they can also get very huge benefits. At that time, it was possible that the world would become chaotic again. As for people like him who study the so-called "dragon slaying technique", they can only gain benefits in troubled times, otherwise it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the world. So he wants the world to be in chaos, so that he can get benefits.

And he has been hoping to get a master to appreciate him, and then he can be reused, and finally become the founding hero of the empire step by step, that is the best result. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything in his life. And he regretted why he hadn't been born a few years earlier, the world was in turmoil more than ten years ago, he was still a young man, he couldn't win the trust of those princes, and he thought that he was not capable enough back then. But now that he has been trained, he has enough ability, but the world is too peaceful, which makes him very depressed. So he hopes that the world will be in turmoil again, so that he can have another chance to become the founder of the country.

Therefore, now he has chosen Luo Yi and chosen this prince who supports the army as his investment target.

"Go and call Mr. Murphy!" Luo Yi said.

Soon, a man dressed in Han clothes who looked very rough walked in. If you don't know, you think he is a big man in the Central Plains, but the smell of sheep on his body is not covered up at all, and he is obviously a person who has been in contact with animals all year round. However, he is now wearing Han clothes, and ordinary people will not suspect it.

"Mr. Ashdeumer, I have a message for you Khan!" Luo Yi said.

And the Asdewumer immediately said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, now that our Tang royal family in the Central Plains has begun serious infighting, it won't be long before the winner will be decided. And at that time, they will definitely be able to return to the political situation is very turbulent, if at this time you Turks can send an army to attack Chang'an, and then you can also get to break Chang'an. As long as Chang'an is broken, then we kill Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and even the clans of the Li family, and we can all get the chaos in the world at that time. At that time, I can also take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Guanzhong, and finally gradually dominate the world. And at that time, once all the high-ranking officials of Li Tang died, the princes of all walks of life in that place would also set off a wave of rebellion again. At that time, it was a good thing for us to compete in the Central Plains again. Luo Yi said.

Asdewumer immediately said, "Hahahaha, I think our Khan Majesty will be very happy. ”

As for the Turks, they did not want the Central Plains Dynasty to be unified. Once the Central Plains Dynasty is unified, the pressure on the grassland will be very huge. Although the northern nomads have one stubble after another, although they have the advantage in tactics, they have lost strategically. After all, a war between two countries and two peoples will not be able to determine the outcome of the war in a moment. The nomads have changed so many nationalities, but the Han people in the Central Plains have not perished, so you can imagine this gap. Many people think that China has always been at a disadvantage by nomadic invasions. However, in fact, the Central Plains is in a strategic advantage. The huge economic strength of the Central Plains can bring down the nomads. Once the grassland and the Central Plains engage in a tug-of-war, the vast majority of those who have the last laugh are the Central Plains.

For the nomads of the steppe. The last thing they want is the reunification of the Central Plains, so that the Central Plains can have huge economic power against them. What they hope for most is that the Central Plains will continue to be divided, and it can be divided into many small pieces. At that time, in order to obtain capital, the princes of the Central Plains would continue to curry favor with their Turks. And then hope in exchange for their war horses. And the Turks can also prescribe a lot of political conditions. In this way, in order to dominate the world, the princes of the Central Plains will also choose to agree to these harsh conditions. Therefore, what the Turks hope most is that the Central Plains will not be able to be unified, so that the Central Plains will not be able to concentrate their forces against the Turks.

But now that Datang is about to dominate the world, of course they don't want this result. And Luo Yi told them that the Tang Dynasty was in trouble because of the succession to the throne, so they Turks also seemed to see an opportunity. As long as the opportunity can be seized, it may be possible to break through the capital of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop and kill all the royal officials in the central Tang Dynasty, so that the Central Plains will also fall into a stage of power vacuum. Once there is a vacuum of power. Then everyone wants to get the throne, and at this time the Central Plains will inevitably fight again. At that time, the Turks would certainly be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen. This is the idea of the Turks.

As for why they want to help Luo Yi, don't they actually hope to let Luo Yi mess up the Central Plains? As long as the Central Plains is in turmoil, that is in the interests of the Turks. If the Central Plains dominates the world, then the pressure on these northern nomads of the Turks is huge, and there may be a catastrophe! At that time, so many nomads were wiped out because of the unification of the Central Plains, and their Turks could not do such stupid things, and they had to do their best to prevent the unification of the Central Plains.

"Ashideumer, I hope to continue to purchase more leather goods, which can then be used to make leather armor. So, I hope you Turks will sell more cowhides to make leather armor for us. And, I want to get more wealth and make a final effort in these last few months. Therefore, I hope to be able to sell the materials of the Central Plains to you Turks more expensive, and the price of your Turkic leather goods and other materials will be reduced by 30% again. In this way, the price of our Central Plains goods will be increased by fifty percent, and you will be reduced by thirty percent again, so that I can also earn more benefits in the case of one or the other, and prepare for future wars. Send a message from the eagle to your Khan, and see if he agrees with the plan. Luo Yi said.

And Asdewumer immediately thought about it and said, "I don't have to report to the Khan, I can also make decisions on the spot and promise you." ”

"Huh? So refreshing? Luo Yi was surprised.

Luo Yizhen felt a little surprised, because he raised the price of Central Plains goods by fifty percent, and asked the other party to reduce the price by thirty percent, which is equivalent to raising the price by eighty percent. This was a great exploitation for the Turks, but the Turks agreed to this result. This made Luo Yi feel very shocked, could it be that the Turks really opened a charity hall and were so willing to sell their goods to themselves at a loss? However, the next sentence that Ashdewumo sipped made Luo Yi understand what was going on.

"Actually, it's very simple, if you raise the price, we can sell it to other tribes at a higher price, and then make that money back. And if you lower the price, I will also lower the price to other tribes, so that we can all earn it again. Anyway, our Khan won't lose money. Asdewumer said.

When Luo Yi heard this, he laughed: "You khans are really good at business!" ”

The Turkic Khan Jieli is not stupid, and of course it is impossible to make a loss-making transaction. Luo Yi's trade with the Turks was actually trading with the Turkic Khan Jieli, but Jieli continued to sell those Central Plains materials to other small tribes at a higher price, and Luo Yi exploited Jieli Khan, but Jieli sold the materials to other small tribes again and earned the money back. This also means that Jieli is generous to others and uses the wealth of those small tribes to support Luo Yi.

This is also related to the Turkic system, which is also the tribal alliance system, in fact, the Khan is only the strongest tribal leader, but he cannot directly appoint other tribal leaders. The Turks did not establish a bureaucratic system like the Central Plains, so their lives were still very primitive. And even the Khan is the leader of only one tribe, and the other tribes are actually the object of exploitation by their Khan. In the grassland, the strong tribes exploit the weak tribes, which is also in line with the rules of the grassland. Therefore, the purchase price of their Jieli from Luo Yi is high, which naturally means that they can be stripped back from other tribes, which is equivalent to using the money of other tribes to help support Luo Yi. And this situation is also the reason why the cohesion of the Turks is not strong.

The nomads of this steppe do not have a unified culture, a unified ideology, or a perfect bureaucratic system, so that they are actually a divided country. Naturally, the internal contradictions of such a divided country are very serious. So they have to be normal to exploit themselves layer by layer internally. Jieli will increase the price of the goods to other medium tribes again, and then the other medium tribes will increase the price again to the small tribes that depend on them, so that they can take the opportunity to reap the benefits. This is actually a primitive sales system, layer by layer, and then the last worthless thing becomes more expensive.

But these steppe peoples can't help but buy it, because these grains are all things they need. If there is no food, then nature will not be able to survive. So even if they know that they are being exploited by their superiors, they still want to buy it. Luo Yi and Jieli colluded, and then by monopolizing the border trade between the two sides, and then both sides were also accumulating capital.

"Asid Ummersi, when will your Khan send troops to attack?" Luo Yi asked.

Asid Wumo immediately said: "Our Khan can attack at any time, but it depends on when your Tang imperial family will start to seize the throne, and we must wait until they have just divided the victory and defeat, and the new emperor has not yet been able to integrate the government, and we will attack immediately, which is also the best time to attack." If it is fought early, then I am afraid they will unite against us. If the attack is late, then maybe they will all be integrated with a lot of strength against us. Therefore, this time is neither early nor late, it must be just right. So, all of this is also bothering you Mr. Luo Yi. As long as the battle for the throne of the Tang Dynasty has just been decided, then we will immediately send troops, then we can also break through Chang'an City, and then wipe out Li Tang's royal family and the central ministers of the imperial court, and then the world of the Tang Dynasty will become turbulent again, and at that time, you can each rely on your ability to gain the world. ”

"Hahahaha, please ask the Turks to help a lot when the time comes! As long as I rule the world, then I will not forget you. Luo Yi said.

Although Luo Yi said so, he was thinking in his heart: "Once I dominate the world, I will immediately clean up you barbarians." “

But Asid Wumer was thinking: "I wish you Central Plains would continue to be chaotic, will I let you dominate the world and love?" It's not that easy. ”

Soon, the two guys with their own ghosts toasted together, and then looked like two good brothers. (To be continued......)
