Chapter 191: Crisis in the Western Regions (2)

Tianxuan was stunned, how long had it been since anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, and then he shook his head and sighed, and asked rhetorically: "If you are me, what should you do?" ”

Li Tiantu was stunned, and he was already more respectful of Tianxuan, and said bluntly: "If I were you, I would never give away the Nine Princesses." Although the 400,000 iron cavalry of Tubo is strong, its advantage is in the field rather than the siege, and they dare not enter the Gyeonggi stronghold, which has 100,000 elite Yulin troops and Janissary Guards. After the First Battle of Goryeo, although our Celestial Empire could not withstand the tiring expedition, it was still able to bear the battle of the city at the doorstep of the city. ”

Tianxuan, who was listening to his ears and listening with more and more praise in his eyes, was noncommittal to Li Tiantu's words, but said calmly: "So, you can't be the emperor." Emperors are never heroes. For the emperor, one person can die, and never a hundred; A hundred people can die, but never a thousand. You are gambling with the luck of the Celestial Empire, and you are ignoring the thousands of Li people. ”

Li Tiantu, who was not used to sitting upright, leaned his back tightly against the jade railing, feeling the cool early spring breath on the railing, and said lazily: "Actually, what I want to say is only the first sentence. As for the back, it is just the passionate words that burst out under the emotional turmoil, and His Majesty can't take it seriously. ”

Tianxuan didn't feel funny, it was the first time he saw Li Tiantu so cute, he leaned on the side of the railing after learning from Li Tiantu's appearance, and said to himself: "Although I sent Xiao Jiu out, she never went to Tubo, didn't she?" ”

Li Tiantu suddenly propped up the railing with both hands, stood up straight in an instant, lowered his head and looked at Tianxuandu for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he had to turn his eyes to the lake outside the pavilion and ponder.

Tianxuandu said lightly: "You don't believe my words? Do you really think I don't know that you saved Jiu'er? ”

Li Tiantu calmed down a lot this time, after all, his little trick can only deceive the eyes of the public, but he can't deceive the real masters, and Yan Mengyu and Wang Huaji are not ordinary people. Perhaps, he didn't even fool Yan Mengyu at that time, and the woman who still hasn't let herself understand it just pretended not to know. As for that Wang Immortal, people will ask for half their lives with a random finger, and they can't see their true body?

Tianxuandu saw Li Tiantu's dejected appearance, and suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart, and continued: "The old man who is more than one hundred and eighty years old in Louguan Wang Huaji is a hundred years older than the Xuanji Sect Master Xuanjizi who has a beautiful scenery and has a high pressure on the temples and rivers and lakes, and that is the person who is closest to the Heavenly Dao. If I hadn't confessed earlier, would you have been able to block him and easily rob Xiao Jiu? Although the Lord of Fanjing Mountain is silent, although he is a genius, he is still young in the end, and his three uncles who are more than 100 years old are almost the same. ”

Li Tiantu inadvertently forced Tianxuan to say so many secrets about the six gates of Buddhism, and his heart turned up turbulent waves, which lasted for a long time, and he said: "Louguan is declining? This is what the world calls the decline of the building? ”

Tianxuandu was not surprised by Li Tiantu's surprise, and chuckled: "What the world has seen is not bad, the incense in the building is not prosperous, and the treasure book "Taiping Sutra" in the door is easy to get started, but if you want to cultivate a profound method, it is difficult to climb to the sky, the three generations of the Louguan Sect have not produced outstanding disciples, and the successor is weak, and it is a matter of time before it falls. ”

There is another layer of hidden identity in the body of Li Tiantu unconsciously empathize, Kunlun Temple has been glorious for three thousand years, and at its peak, it has attracted the admiration of all people, pilgrimage from all directions, and it has come to an end thousands of years ago, if it were not for Kunlun Nu Agui's ancient secret method to freeze his body for thousands of years, dying and struggling until now, I am afraid that the incense has been cut off today.

Li Tiantu, who had a complete misunderstanding of Tianxuan, finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, if you are silent and I have not left, what should you understand?" ”

Tianxuandu had the air of a confident superior, and said undoubtedly: "Jiu'er was sent to Fanjing Mountain by me at the age of twelve, and he loves her even better than me, so he won't go." As for you, since you are willing to go to Xiliang alone for Zhu Wenwu to face the 300,000 iron horsemen of Tubo, what reason is there to fall short in the end. Moreover, even if you don't go, with the power of Wang Lao Zhenren, you can save Jiu'er without knowing it. This time the relationship is not a result, but this attitude must be expressed, and this transition must also be taken. Our Celestial Empire must not give Tubo any legitimate reason to destroy Xue Rang and his 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Celestial Empire, 130,000 soldiers and horses, and 80,000 have already gone. ”

Li Tiantu said in his heart, if you know that Lingyou has no intention of taking Liangzhou City at all, and the water and food cuts are just to scare the Celestial Empire and increase the bargaining weight, all this you have done is useless, I don't know how you should feel?

Li Tiantu, who just thought about it, but didn't dare to say it explicitly, remembered the ninth princess who had lived in the mansion for a few days, and said tentatively: "Then the emperor, when do you plan to let the ninth princess return to the palace?" ”

Tianxuandu smiled and asked rhetorically, "What does Aiqing think about this matter?" ”

Li Tiantu, who was countered by the emperor, thought deeply: "It's not appropriate now, let's wait." ”

Tianxuandu nodded in acquiescence, suddenly stood up, raised his eyes to look at the skyline west of the palace, and said with a feeling: "The Western Regions are going to be lost!" I have been promoted to the rank of Li Dadu's protector and promoted to the rank of first, and I hope he can buy more time for the Celestial Empire. ”

People are going to die, what's the use of being promoted to an official? Li Tiantu, who sneered at the emperor's move, said in a deep voice: "If Li Dadu is gone, can the 60,000 Anxi soldiers still hold on?" ”

Tianxuandu turned his head to look at the silent Li Tiantu, and frowned: "The Anxi soldiers are fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, and their military discipline and endurance are far better than those in other parts of the Celestial Empire. ”

Li Tiantu was waiting for Tianxuandu's words, and he said in a surprising voice: "I want to go to the Western Regions." ”

Tianxuan, who had been talking about everything, instantly changed color, and said sharply: "You are crazy!" Mo said that Tubo was using troops against the Western Regions, and the 60,000 soldiers in the four towns of Anxi could not hold out for a year and a half. Even in the past, in the face of the harsh climate in the Western Regions, which was very different from that of the Central Plains, no one in the DPRK and China was willing to go. Do you know that Li Daduhu, who is over seventy years old, has been resigning for three consecutive years, but he was stopped by me. Originally, I wanted to be the governor of Liangzhou, who lived next to the Western Regions, Feng Qianli, but Feng Qianli had been excused by his ill health, and there were many ministers in the court to help, so he gave up. In fact, I also know that this Qianli is slightly ill, but I am used to being the emperor of the soil in Liangzhou, how can I still suffer from the Western Regions? ”

Li Tiantu looked surprised, but he also saw that Tianxuan was unwilling to go by himself, but he really couldn't think of a reason why Tianxuan didn't want to go by himself, so he couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, I'm only going here to protect Li Dadu and protect his safety and solve the danger in the western frontier of the Heavenly Dynasty." ”

Tianxuan, who seemed to be aware of the unreasonable reason he had stopped, smiled bitterly and said: "If other courtiers insist on going, I will only be pleased, but I didn't expect that the first one to take the initiative to go was you, but you are still young and have no experience in leading troops, but is there any reason to go?" You have no relationship with Li Daduhu, so don't want to fool me with this. ”
