"Ye Chang fought with the Bohai people in Liaodong, and the Silla people also intervened, this time he was attacked on all sides, and in a short period of time, it was impossible for him to get a single soldier from Liaodong to support."

"It's really arrogant" Hearing Li Jingzhong talk about the news, Li Heng's first comment was not to inquire about the reason for the fight, but to criticize Ye Chang: "This person's unsubmissive heart has been revealed, and I don't know why my father can still tolerate him...... The Bohai Kingdom has always been submissive since the Great Qinmao was enthroned, and Ye Chang is no more than a minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can he make the Liaodong Marching Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty fight with Bohai? If you provoke a border, your heart should be punished"

Li Jingzhong laughed twice and did not respond. Even if he is as brazen as he is, he also knows that the battle between Lu Dao and Bohai Country is not something that Ye Chang can avoid if he wants to.

What's more, in Li Heng and his heart, there is a battle, and it is the best thing to contain the mobile forces that Ye Chang can mobilize.

What is about to happen in Chang'an, he doesn't want Ye Chang to be involved.

"What's going on with King Yong?"

Li Heng asked again as if he was inadvertent.

Li Jingzhong saw that a cold light flashed in Li Heng's eyes, and immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "I still make friends with famous people from all over the world, make a gesture of a corporal who is courteous, and go to bow to His Majesty every morning and dusk...... On the mother's side, she went very diligently. ”

The words "Niangniang went very diligently over there" made Li Heng's eyebrows suddenly twitch, and he couldn't contain his anger: "Ungrateful things, white-eyed wolves that can't be raised"

The reason why he scolded Yongwang Li Phosphorus so much is related to his background. King Yong's mother died early, so he had no one to take care of him in the harem, Li Longji took pity on his loneliness, so he handed it over to Li Heng, who was taken care of by Li Heng's brother. All along, in order to show his brother's friendship and benevolence, Li Heng has indeed treated Li Phosphorus as his own.

But in the rebellion of Tianbao's eleventh year, Li Heng did not have any chance to perform, but Li Phosphorus, with a sword, served by Li Longji's side, although later than Princess Shou'an, but earlier than the rest of the princes and grandsons, so Li Longji was very happy. And Li Phosphorus didn't know who was bewitched, so he stayed away from Li Heng, often went to Yang Yuhuan to show filial piety, and tried his best to please Li Longji, his ambition was extremely obvious.

This made Li Heng hate him very much, and since ancient times, traitors have been more hated than enemies.

"Things can't go on any longer...... The situation in Guanzhong and Gyeonggi cannot be dragged on any longer, and we must come out to clean up the rivers and mountains. The Tang Dynasty has to come out to clean up" Li Heng turned his face, looked at Li Jingzhong, and said impassionedly: "For this, even if you pay some price...... Li Jingzhong, this matter must be done by you."

Li Jingzhong responded: "The slave is willing to do her best for His Highness, and she will never give up."

"I heard that the Hui people in the Western Regions are strong, and someone needs to contact them."

Li Jingzhong's heart sank: "Your Highness, this matter ......"

"What, you don't want to do it?"

"No, no, no, the slave just thinks that our Gyeonggi affair ...... Where is the use of Hui people

"All things...... Just in case. Li Heng was silent for a while and said slowly.

He couldn't tell Li Jingzhong, he felt very uneasy in his heart, he was really afraid of Ye Chang's ability to turn the tables, and he was very worried that he would become a laughing stock at the last moment.

"Yes, but ...... I am afraid that the conditions proposed will ......"

"No matter what the conditions, they should accept it first, even if they want Anxi to protect the mansion, Lone can also agree" Li Heng said without hesitation: "Even...... When they need to send troops, they will calm the overall situation for me, and I can also take the golden silk of the children in Chang'an City."

Li Jingzhong suddenly felt creepy.

This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who seeks the throne of shepherding all peoples, but the conditions he pays are so undisguised

is willing to exchange the golden silk of the children in the Anxi Protectorate and Chang'an City for the throne

Anxi Duhufu, that is from Li Jing began to expand the territory, more than 100 years of countless generals and blood stained land, that is Zhang Qian's hollow, Ban Chao management place, that is the Han family since ancient times to fight for the place, he gave away a word lightly.

There are 300,000 households in Chang'an City, 1.5 million mouths, splendid like piles, flowers and eyes, so many people's net worth, the wealth of the whole country is accumulated, the same is a sentence, let it be taken

Li Jingzhong suddenly felt in his heart that the highness in front of him was really despicable, and he was even inferior to himself, a crippled eunuch.

His ambition suddenly burned like a flame: since this highness turned out to be such a person, then...... Why can't you play with him between applause, turn him into a puppet, and manipulate him in your hands?

Previously, even if he was as powerful and prestigious as Gao Lishi, he didn't dare to fool the Son of Heaven, thinking about turning Li Longji into his puppet, but this Li Jingzhong had such thoughts. The reason is nothing more than that Li Heng is really not a qualified monarch.

"The slave and maid will definitely do it, and the slave and maid can't go by themselves, but they can ⊥ the younger generations of the family to go back to the house." There were strange thoughts in his heart, but Li Jingzhong's mouth became more and more respectful: "The slave will do things properly"

"Don't let anyone else know about it." Li Heng said lightly.

Li Jingzhong responded crisply, and seeing that Li Heng had no other orders, he slowly retreated at the moment.

After coming out, a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he shook his head.

I don't want to be known...... It seems that he also knows that such behavior is really unsightly. However, with such a good handle, how can you let it go?

He walked forward with his head down and pondering, when suddenly he felt a darkness in front of him, and he almost bumped into someone.

He looked up and was about to scold, but saw a handsome face.

Li Yu looked at Li Jingzhong and smiled slightly: "Why is Gong Li not giving up?" ”

Li Jingzhong shuddered slightly, feeling as if he had nowhere to hide under this gaze. He smiled reluctantly: "It turned out to be Mr. Li." ”

For Li Yu, Li Jingzhong is very jealous. The rebellion in the eleventh year of Tianbao almost wiped out the arrangements made by Li Jingzhong for Li Heng outside the capital, but Li Mi took more than ten people to get out, and now these more than ten people have entered the border towns as generals in accordance with Li Mi's arrangement. Moreover, Li Mi himself, I don't know what method he used, made Li Longji remember him, and found him back in the spring of the twelfth year of Tianbao, and re-enshrined him in the Hanlin Academy and the East Palace, and became one of the few foreign ministers who could freely enter and leave the East Palace where Li Heng lived.

Like Ye Chang, Li Jingzhong felt that he couldn't see through the East Palace in front of him, but the other party could see himself clearly.

"Li Gong came out in a hurry, I don't know why?" Li Mi's expression was still gentle, and when he spoke, he spoke slowly, and he seemed to have great respect for Li Jingzhong: "Could it be that His Royal Highness has something to ask Gong Li?" ”

"Mr. said with a smile, what else will the slave and maid do in addition to waiting for people, Your Highness has something to ask for, and he is also a great talent like Mr." Li Jingzhong lowered his eyes, did not meet Li Yu's gaze, and arched his hand indiscriminately: "It's just that something happened to the younger generation of the slave maid's family, and the slave maid just asked His Highness for leave, so that he could go out of the palace." ”

It is not easy for the eunuch to want to get out of the palace, Li Mi heard him say this, and did not dwell on this matter anymore, but said with a smile: "Li Gong is valued by His Royal Highness, and there is no second person around His Royal Highness who can compare, and there is one thing that bothers Li Gong." ”

"Sir, just tell me."

"Duke Li wants to persuade His Highness more, to cultivate his temperament and be lenient, there are some things, it is urgent, and he should seek it in the right way...... I want Li Gong to understand this. ”

Li Jingzhong only felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up. He forced a smile: "The slave is just a lowly person, how can Mr. be useful when he speaks, Mr. and His Royal Highness and the little prince are all deeds, such words, or Mr. said it is useful." ”

After saying that, he arched his hand indiscriminately, and ran out.

Looking at his back, Li Mi sighed slightly, what he said just now was true. He had long seen that because of this embarrassing situation for a long time, Li Heng was a little psychologically distorted. In such cases, sometimes he does not act above board.

According to Li Yu's thoughts, Li Hengnai is the current crown prince, and the time to inherit the treasure will not be too long, he has the name of righteousness, and he only needs to act according to the right path, that is, Ye Chang, Yang Zhao and even Li Linfu have a thousand opportunities, how can they help him? But although Li Heng respects him on the outside, he is extremely stubborn on these issues, only letting him give advice, but he has little right to make decisions with him, which makes him very helpless, and he has to ask Li Jingzhong, who is closest to Li Heng, to persuade him.

But again the effort failed.

In his camp in Jian'an City, there were high-level figures in Liaodong together, and the twelve cases were arranged in a circle, Ye Chang naturally sat at the top, and the rest of the people sat around him according to their official positions.

It was not only Luo Jiuhe who was present, but also Cen Shen, Wang Changling, Jia Mao'er and other civilian positions, Luo Jiuhe, Ye Ying, Ye Ting and other military positions, and all the high-level officials in Liaodong, even those who lacked skills, were also summoned. A conference of this magnitude has never been held before, and what will be decided in this meeting will also be a big event.

Wang Changling's mood was a little heavy at the beginning, he had lived very comfortably in Liaodong in recent years, although the main energy was focused on the promotion of agriculture, but the power and money in his hands were so abundant that he almost thought that he was the county guard. It can be said that from a farmer to now, it is the six or seven years in Liaodong that makes Wang Changling the happiest, and he even feels that he is much younger.

But the more Liaodong develops, the more entangled Wang Changling becomes.

Although Ye Chang did not show much ambition, he has always been loyal to Datang, but Liaodong's steel output and textile output have far exceeded Datang, and the grain is not only completely self-sufficient, but even hundreds of thousands of stone of surplus grain can be sold to Datang every year. Wang Changling knows very well the meaning of "the tail is not down", if it goes on like this, even if Liaodong looks at the vast market of Datang and continues to be a loyal minister of Datang, can Datang tolerate this subordinate who is getting bigger and bigger?

So today, as soon as he found out that almost all the important people in Liaodong had been summoned, his heart suddenly jumped, for fear that Ye Chang would announce a big rebellion today.

Glancing at Cen Shen, Wang Changling didn't care about military affairs, and Cen Shen completely took over the administrative affairs of Liaodong after Zhang Hao left, so he knew more about some military mobilization. If Ye Chang is really ready to rebel against the chaos, he will not be able to hide it from Cen Shen.

Cen Shen's expression was very relaxed, which made Wang Changling feel a little relieved.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Ye Chang saw that everyone had arrived, and coughed.

Everyone stopped chattering and whispering, and focused their attention on him.

"I have summoned you here today for the purpose of the war with the Bohai Kingdom." Ye Chang said: "In view of the fact that the Bohai State has repeatedly ordered the Khitan to attack our borders and block our trade routes, therefore, from now until September next year, the Bohai State will be punished in a war. I may not be able to stay in Liaodong for a long time, and all war and military affairs are in charge of Luo Jiuhe. ”

Luo Jiuhe got up and made a gesture to everyone, which surprised some people who didn't know yet: Ye Chang chose him instead of Ye Ying and Ye Ting, who were closer to him.

"Why so urgent?" Someone asked.

"I will serve as an official in the imperial court for two years at most, and in these two years, Liaodong must be able to protect itself." Ye Chang sighed: "I want to resign and go into hiding." ”

Everyone was taken aback, it was Luo Jiuhe, knowing that Ye Chang had other thoughts, and he couldn't help but show surprise.

"Why is this happening?" Wang Changling was even more anxious: "Now the imperial court relies on Ye Gong for most of its maintenance, although Ye Gong has no position, he has the responsibility of the prime minister, and Ye Gong is young and strong, and he is in good health, why do you have pastoral thoughts?" ”

"It's getting harder and harder for me to gain a foothold in the court." Ye Chang said slowly: "And the high place is unbearable, for the friendship of all monarchs and ministers, returning to seclusion earlier is good for the imperial court and good for me." ”

"But it's not good for the common people in the world" Cen Shen said angrily: "An Shi doesn't come out, like the common people."

"Exactly, even if you are old and have low energy, causing Yang Zhao and others to be treacherous, isn't there still a prince?" I don't know who had the audacity to say this.

"The Son of Heaven, the crown prince, surrounded by villains, it is impossible to expect one or two ministers to change the current situation. I tried, but I still failed. Ye Chang said slowly: "Don't persuade you again, if there is no accident, I have already decided on this matter." The future depends on your concerted efforts......"

When Ye Chang said this, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting anxiously: "Where is Ye Gong, where is Ye Gong."

This voice was anxious, and the name "Ye Gong" was clearly not a figure from Liaodong. Ye Chang's heart moved, and he said secretly: "It's coming"

"What is it, shouting and screaming, what kind of system?" Ye Yingxun reprimanded.

A guard outside came in and said, "There is a man who claims to be an envoy of the imperial court, who has been blocked by his humble position, and he says that there is a secret decree of the imperial court......"

"Secret purpose?" Ye Chang got up: "Please come in"

After a while, the shouting man was brought in, he looked panicked, looked extremely nervous, and after seeing Ye Chang, he immediately saluted: "Ye Gong, the big thing is not good, Chang'an and Luoyang are causing civil unrest because of the matter of the Chamber of Commerce's stocks, the sage has a will, please return to Beijing as soon as possible."
