Chapter 61: The Affair of Tibet

- Although it is said that many times the words spoken by men and women when they are intimate cannot be taken seriously, and can only be understood as the meaning of mutual persuasion, but what Yang Yuhuan said with him after making love, Yang Xi did not take it seriously.

Yang Xi believes that when Li Longji was the emperor, there was one person who spoke the most in front of him, and this was Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan promised to unconditionally help him fight for his interests in front of Li Longji and help him become emperor, and Yang Xi felt that the possibility of his success had risen to a higher level.

Yang Xi knew that the main reason why Yang Yuhuan agreed to help him was that he hoped to be protected and loved by him, so as not to lose the rest of his life. This is a very scheming woman who thinks long-term. Between the two, the main thing is the exchange of interests, but between him and Yang Yuhuan, if there is no emotion, he doesn't believe it, and he doesn't believe that Yang Yuhuan will think so.

"Love over time", this idiom has ambiguity in later generations, but the ambiguity is also reasonable, many men and women, the generation of feelings is after the physical exchange, Yang Xi feels that the relationship between him and Yang Yuhuan, after the first intimate contact, heated up rapidly. It is impossible for the two of them to be a separate body** need to become like this, Yang Yuhuan is attached to him, and there must be a certain proportion of emotional factors in it. This is the same as the marriage at the time of the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, there may not be feelings between men and women before marriage, or there may not be deep feelings, but after marriage, there is a basis for living together, there is an intimate relationship, and many people have continuous feelings of abandonment, and even some people have strong feelings between them, which is almost the same.

Being intimate together every day, how can there be no special feelings?

Now Yang Xi can't tell whether the two of them are often entangled together because of physical needs, or because of emotional needs, or both. However, he believed that his weight in Yang Yuhuan's mind would not be light, whether it was out of practical interests, personal feelings and actual physical needs, which made him sure that as long as he fought with others in the future, Yang Yuhuan would help him.

With the help of Yang Yuhuan, a person with a special identity, Yang Xi is confident that he will have an overwhelming advantage in the battle with Li Jue that may arise in the future, of course, as long as Li Longji is still in the world.

Yang Yuhuan's statement after the intimacy made Yang Xi's confidence increase again, and he really felt the power of blowing the pillow wind.

In the next few days, Yang Xi sneaked into Yang Yuhuan's dormitory in the middle of the night, had a private meeting with her, and tossed most of the night. His performance made Yang Yuhuan very satisfied, very satisfied, and after a few days, her complexion was much better, her complexion was also much ruddy, and her complexion was radiant. Yang Yuhuan's explanation in front of Li Longji was that he slept well, and there was a reason for soaking in hot springs.

When they first got married, the intimacy between Yang Yuhuan and Li Mao was not very frequent, never every day. After following Li Longji, the frequency has dropped even more, and there has never been a continuous day. But after getting along with Yang Xi, Yang Xi pampered her for many days, until she stopped because of the inconvenience of menstruation, which made her physical satisfaction and mental satisfaction reach an unprecedented level, plus Yang Xi is much younger than her, and the feeling of the old cow eating tender grass makes her cherish this feeling called "freak love" in front of others, she is afraid of losing, and has a lover and son-like love for Yang Xi, she is afraid that what she does will make Yang Xi dissatisfied, or her own performance will disappoint Yang Xi, so on the basis of tolerating Yang Xi, also try to make yourself better, so as not to be rejected by Yang Xi in the end.

Yang Yuhuan's thoughts were expressed in action, which made Yang Xi feel an incomparable warmth and Yang Yuhuan's love for him, and he also took the opportunity to tell Yang Yuhuan about his great plans, many things that needed Yang Yuhuan's help and needed to be said in front of Li Longji. Yang Yuhuan didn't hesitate, and all agreed, saying that as long as Yang Xi wanted to do it and needed her help, she would definitely help without hesitation.

In the next few days, Yang Yuhuan decisively helped Yang Xi do a few things, including securing better positions for several of Yang Xi's cronies, and changes in Yang Xi's own authority. With the help of Yang Yuhuan, Li Longji ordered Yang Xi to concurrently serve as the minister of Zuo Yu Lin Jun, and let Yang Xi take the position of Zuo Longwu General and lead Zuo Yu Lin Wei. The left and right dragon guards are separated from the left and right Yulin army, and the status of the left and right Yulin army after the separation is much worse than before, but they are still in charge of the Praetorian Guards in the palace, and everyone knows what it means to lead one more forbidden army and horses.

Yang Yuhuan's promise and expression in action surprised Yang Xi, and when he was alone with Yang Yuhuan, he expressed his gratitude in his own way, and Yang Yuhuan was of course happy.

Before I knew it, it had been a month since the royal driver came to Huaqing Palace. Because of the passion that often exists, both Yang Xi and Yang Yuhuan feel that the days go by quite quickly, although Yang Xi will have some guilt when he thinks of Guo Xin and Heping who stayed in Chang'an Mansion, but when facing Yang Yuhuan who is fiery, many times he can't help but do it-

At the end of November, several special guests came to the Huaqing Palace, all of whom were high-ranking ministers in the court, including Guo Ziyi, Wei Jiansu, Fang Xuan, Gao Shi, etc. After quietly inquiring about Gao Shi, Yang Xi learned that they came because of Qinghai.

At the time of An Lushan's rebellion, the border of the Tang Dynasty was also unstable, and there were changes in Anxi, Anbei, and Andong. There were rebellions in the Turkic parts of Anxi from time to time, but the momentum was not very big, and the Turkic tribes in the territory of Anbei Duhufu also took advantage of the time when the Tang Dynasty had no time to take care of it, and they were ready to move for a while, and went south to rob some property and returned to the north. After the troops in the territory of Andong Protectorate returned to the west to quell the rebellion, the Silla people were not honest and took the opportunity to capture some cities that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

However, these are not major problems, and the most serious threat is from Tibet in the west.

One thing Yang Xi knows, the powerful country of Tubo can be said to have always been the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty, he remembers that in the original history, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was captured by the Tubo people, and after coming to this world, he also learned about the situation in Tubo.

The current situation in Qinghai can be described as very unoptimistic, and the Tubo people, who were originally in the Qinghai area, took advantage of the rebellion in An Lushan to loot. They annexed almost all of Qinghai, and what was later known as one of China's most beautiful lakes is now almost entirely in the hands of the Tibetans. The Tibetans had a great appetite, and they not only annexed Qinghai and the land of the river meanders and the Huang River, but also extended their tentacles to Anxi. The Tibetans also stationed a lot of soldiers and horses in Anxi, preparing to take advantage of the fact that most of the soldiers and horses in Anxi were transferred back to the interior to quell the rebellion and annex Anxi. Today's four towns of Anxi, Qiuzi, Xiaye, Khotan, and Shule are not completely in the hands of the Tang army, but the big tribes into the hands of the Tubo people.

If we analyze the surrounding situation in detail, we will find that the Datang border in the west and northwest is very unoptimistic. The entire border of Datang is actually not optimistic, and the poison is too deep.

This made Guo Ziyi, who took over the affairs of the military department, worried, and he had been thinking about how to deal with the situation. This time, after receiving a new report on the situation of the Tubo people, he encouraged those important ministers around him to come to the Huaqing Palace to ask Emperor Li Longji for advice.

When Li Jue, the crown prince of the prison state, presided over the court meeting, he had already discussed how to deal with the increasingly powerful threat of Tibet, but he did not discuss the reason, Li Ying was completely disin in favor of waging war against Tibet and other surrounding tribes or small countries when the chaos had just subsided, and Guo Ziyi was the main force. After Gao Shi explained the situation, he secretly said to Yang Xi: "Ziliang, Guo Xianggong came to Huaqing Palace to present his feelings, hoping that you would help talk about Xiang on the side." ”

"Oh! I see!" After Yang Xi heard this, he was not happy but worried. Guo Ziyi never told him about this, nor did he tell him anything about it. Without greeting him, the son-in-law who was guarding Li Longji's safety, he took a few important ministers of the court to the Huaqing Palace to meet the saint, and Yang Xi couldn't figure out what this meant.

"At that moment, when you and Your Majesty discuss the matter of Tibet, I will also go together to join in the fun, maybe I can also express some different opinions!" After Yang Xi said this, he immediately made up his mind, in this matter, he must fully support his father-in-law Guo Ziyi.

Didn't Guo Ziyi advocate that the Tibetan problem should be solved by force? Yang Xi also holds this point of view, and only by fighting can the war be stopped. Offense is the best defense, like the Battle of Tongguan, although it was victorious, it was very aggrieved. But this is a means that is forced to take the initiative to attack, and if there is the strength to attack, as it was later, who will passively defend?

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Gao Shi was a little surprised, "Ziliang, do you also support the army to fight against Tibet?" ”

When Gao Shi was discussing this matter with Guo Ziyi, he had heard Guo Ziyi say that he was a little worried that Yang Xi would oppose frequent wars. Because Yang Xi insisted on the view that after the chaos, the people should be given the opportunity to rest and recuperate, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. In the resumption of war, it will definitely be the people who will suffer, and the taxes on the shoulders of the people are destined to increase. But Gao Shi didn't expect that Yang Xi's eyes lit up after hearing this. Yang Xi's performance was naturally understood by Gao Xi to support the war and even wanted to lead the army in person.

"Of course!" Yang Xi answered Gao Shi's question with a smile, and said to Gao Shi jokingly: "Brother Dafu, if you don't believe it, maybe you can't convince Your Majesty, and in the end, it is my opinion that persuades Your Majesty to agree to a large-scale war against Tibet!"

Gao Shi looked at Yang Xi, thought about it seriously and nodded, "Ziliang, I believe what you said." Because your opinions are often surprising!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
