Volume 3 Chapter 267 Li Chengqian's sinister intentions
For the Ming Dynasty's court, Murong Fuyun did not refuse.
In recent years, Tuyuhun has been plagued by snowstorms for many years, and they also want to restore the business road to its former peak state as soon as possible.
There is an advantage to occupying the trade road, that is, the geese are plucked, and a few heads are taken, whether it is the caravan in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, they can't bypass him.
Murong Fuyun actually knew very well that if Li Chengqian wanted to control the Chishui source well, he had to revitalize commerce. And Li Chengqian has an advantage over him, that is, his identity, he can purchase the best-selling materials in the Western Regions from Datang, such as tea, porcelain and silk.
But if Li Chengqian wants to sell these things to the Western Regions, he must go through him, and this is his opportunity.
It's more interesting to say.
Some people in Chang'an think that Li Chengqian should continue to expand at this time, anyway, now he can be regarded as a general, you continue to be reckless, what are you afraid of? With Datang as your backing, there are no worries at all.
Even if the Ming Dynasty is disabled and scrapped, what is it? It is not the people of Datang who died, and it was not the land of Datang that was destroyed, so as far as Datang is concerned, there is no loss at all.
On the contrary, it can also delay the development of Tuyuhun, no matter how you look at it, it will be beneficial and harmless for Datang.
In the end, Li Chengqian also proved that when he couldn't resist, he returned to the Tang Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could also play a role in turning the tide, waiting for work at ease, and annihilating Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.
And this merit of destroying the country, Li Chengqian should be the first of it, with this record, his position as the crown prince is also unbreakable, so many people can't understand, what are you afraid of?
But from Murong Fuyun's point of view, Li Chengqian wanted to develop the Ming court well, and starting a war rashly would not do any good to the Ming court, which was still fragile for the time being.
If you really want to start a war rashly, the first unlucky person must be the Ming Dynasty, there is no way, he is the weakest.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Murong Fuyun's opinion, if it weren't for the fact that there was a Tang Dynasty on the side, with Li Chengqian's little strength, he could break it with one blow!
Besides, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he has experience in governing one side, it will definitely play a pivotal role in his future success.
Are they wrong?
In fact, no, everyone is thinking in the spirit of maximizing their own interests, and then according to the current actual situation.
This is normal.
Moreover, in these ideas, there is a result-oriented, that is, Li Chengqian did all this to consolidate his position as the crown prince.
In other words, none of them believed that Li Chengqian was really willing to let go of the crown prince who was coveted by tens of millions of people.
In fact, this is normal, who is willing to give up the opportunity to become a treasure in the future?
Under such a premise, every judgment they make is actually justified.
But they only want to miss one thing, the position of the crown prince, Li Chengqian wants, but he doesn't have to.
Can you want why not?
That's the future Ninety-Five!
But if you really want to say how obsessed Li Chengqian is with that man, it may not be.
The throne was all won by his ancestors, why didn't he make one himself?
It's not that you don't have the ability?
I have survived the most difficult times, and the future is a broad road!
So, what they think on both sides, a little bit of a combination, that's pretty much it.
The purpose of development is to expand, and the purpose of expansion is to make itself stronger.
This is the line that Li Chengqian wants to take.
Otherwise, how could he have left Murong Wanqiu?
Otherwise, Murong Xiaojun at this time will be on pins and needles?
Everything is just a preparation he made in advance for a smooth expansion in the future.
"Okay, about the battle with the Ming Dynasty, let's discuss it again." Murong Fuyun said, "Let's not talk about this for the time being, at present, we Tuyuhun need to work hard, but we also need to beware of the two jackals watching on the side of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, as for the north, don't care."
Ashina didn't have the time to go south at this time.
But this Ming royal court has to be guarded against, King Gaochang, you are under a lot of pressure. ”
Hearing him say this, everyone thought that the reason why Murong Fuyun did not give the position of prime minister to Murong Xiaojun was because he needed to guard the border, and even Murong Xiaojun himself had this idea, and even said: "Don't worry, as long as Weichen is still there, the Ming royal court will not want to go north." ”
"Ben Khan can trust you for this." But Murong Fuyun suddenly changed his words and said, "But if the Ming Dynasty still wants to continue to expand, then going north is their best choice, at that time, there is the Tang Dynasty in the east and the Ming Dynasty in the south, and the pressure on you will be great."
In this way, all the departments have drawn out 10% of the soldiers and horses to help you, what do you think? ”
As soon as he heard this, the big tent instantly fell silent.
Although it is said that Douhe County is the strongest part of the army except for Murong Fuyun's headquarters, if you really want to do this according to Murong Fuyun, there will be an extra army that is enough to match him in an instant, and it is not under his control.
"This method is good, but Watering River County is no longer capable of supporting such an army." Murong Xiaojun said tentatively.
He was already aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Murong Fuyun said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about the grain and grass, this Ben Khan will solve it, but in this way, you have to defend Watering River County, whether it is facing the east or the south, even if these two directions attack you together, you have to hold it, understand?" ”
Under the table, Murong Xiaojun's fists were clenched to death, but he still said: "If this is the case, then according to what the Great Khan said." ”
At this point, everyone has actually seen something, King Gaochang has fallen out of favor.
Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "That's it." ”
For him, Murong Xiaojun was one of the people he trusted the most, but from his standpoint, such trust has limits.
Murong Shun can rebel, King Tianzhu can rebel, how can Murong Xiaojun not be?
The key is that Murong Xiaojun was also restrained by Li Chengqian, and surrounded Murong Shun at Chishuiyuan, who knows if they would collude at that time?
Although it was his order, I'm sorry, the leader can't be wrong, since the leader is right, whose fault is it, do you need to say?
Of course, all this shouldn't have fermented so quickly, but who let Murong Xiaojun's beloved daughter still be with Li Chengqian, who knows what Murong Xiaojun was thinking?
This made Murong Fuyun have to guard against it.
……
When Murong Xiaojun left Fu Qi City, he glanced back at this familiar city, at this moment, he was in a trance, he really couldn't figure it out.
It doesn't make sense.
Murong Fuyun didn't allow him to capture prisoners before, he understood that he was afraid that his strength would expand too quickly, after all, Murong Shun, as his own son, said the opposite, let alone him?
But today's incident made him a little confused.
If it is said that Murong Fuyun has long been in favor of Tuoba Zhao, the king of the West Sea, then it can be decided early, and there is no need to call him back and deliberately lose face in front of everyone.
You must know that everyone thought that he would succeed the Heavenly Pillar King, but Murong Fuyun's false shot made everyone a little confused.
He couldn't figure it out.
Don't talk about him, everyone probably can't figure it out today.
What made him even more incomprehensible was that Murong Fuyun had planted soldiers and horses in Douhe County, which was the most fatal for him.
No matter how high-sounding it is, it can't escape the three words of distrust.
"If the Great Khan doesn't trust us, he will punish us and others, and if he acts like this, let me and others face the soldiers under his command!" On the way back, one of his subordinates complained.
In their opinion, they and others have just fought a fierce battle, and not only have no reward, but this kind of thing has happened, which is difficult for them to accept.
When Murong Xiaojun heard this, he snorted coldly: "Hugh is talking nonsense, the Great Khan's move is to help me pour Hejun to resist the Tang Dynasty, resist the Ming Dynasty, and if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be dealt with by military law!" ”
Although he was not happy in his heart, there were some things that he could only think about, but could not say.
Moreover, he has not yet betrayed Murong Fuyun's thoughts, maybe it is Murong Shun and the Tianzhu King, which made the Great Khan have some concerns, as a subordinate, just do what he should do.
The road knows the horsepower, and the people's hearts can be seen over time.
Of course, as the command said, that is also impossible.
If Murong Xiaojun is really punished, then the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Douhe County will not be allowed to explode on the spot?
Why did the Tianzhu King finally choose to commit suicide, it was to prevent such a thing from happening.
It can be said that only when the Tianzhu King dies in his own hands will he not disturb Tuguhun.
Whether it is the emperor or the Great Khan, although they all have supreme power, it is not so simple to really want to kill a significant person.
With Murong Xiaojun's compromise and tolerance, a new round of major changes in Tuyuhun officially kicked off.
No one expected that this great change directly pushed Tuyuhun into the abyss, and indirectly achieved the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty.
Two days later, the news that the soldiers and horses of the Tuyuhun troops marched into Dohe County finally reached Riyue Mountain.
Li Chengqian, who was staring at the construction of the palace, was overjoyed when he heard this.
The opportunity he was waiting for came!
"Who sent the news back?" Li Chengqian asked.
Liu San said: "Shopkeeper Yang sent someone to come back from Taoyuan." ”
Speaking of Yang Lin, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I've worked hard for him, tell him that this king will not forget everything he has done for the Ming Dynasty." By the way, what is Yang Jialang doing now? ”
"Yang Tao is now working under Li Qinjian." Liu San said, "I heard that he is doing a good job, and he is Li Qinjian's right-hand man." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Gao Chunxing and said: "In this way, from now on, Yang Tao will be promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Works, let him work hard, and this king will not disappoint anyone who has contributed to the Ming Dynasty." ”
For an official position, Li Chengqian really doesn't care.
Now, he has a lot of official positions to win people's hearts, and a squire of the Ministry of Works is really nothing.
It just so happened that there was a shortage of people under Ihara Xi's hands.
It would be nice if we could train a group of our own people to fill this gap.
Gao Chunxing nodded, picked up the notebook and started to take notes.
Li Chengqian said again: "The team to welcome the relatives is also coming back soon, so that means that Murong Wanqiu is also coming back soon?" Liu San, you go and call Yi Yuanxi, this king has something to look for him. ”
Liu San nodded, and even arranged for someone to call Yi Yuanxi.
Now the palace is being built in Riyue Mountain, and Ihara Tin is generally here, and as for building a city on the grassland, he can occasionally take a day to keep an eye on it.
Soon, Ihara arrived in the field.
"What does Your Highness command?"
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "That's the case, this king sees that the palace here is almost built, you will immediately build a mansion outside the city now, the specifications can not be too low, named Wanqiu Pavilion, all according to the princess's standards, other kings don't care, but to be eye-catching, to be gorgeous, it doesn't matter if you spend more money." ”
"Your Highness, although there is a little money and food on the side of the household now, ......" Yi Yuanxi said very tactfully.
Li Chengqian waved his hand directly and said, "You don't understand, although this move costs money and food, the benefits are not comparable to money and food." ”
What is this money and food, what he wants is for people to see what Murong Wanqiu's status is in the Ming Dynasty.
As the Sun Moon Mountain becomes more and more prosperous, someone will eventually bring this news back to those places.
"There are a few houses outside the city, why don't you rebuild them a little? In terms of specifications, a little reconstruction, where the two houses are together, it is enough. Ihara said.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's okay, just do as you say, this king has only one request, that is, before the team to welcome the relatives comes back, it must be done." Saying that, Li Chengqian smiled, "After all, the owner of this house is coming back." ”
Ihara nodded, he had already guessed who the owner of the house was.
"By the way, this king has just promoted Yang Tao to be the waiter of the Ministry of Works, you can teach him more when you have time, you are busy in the Ministry of Works, it is really hard." Li Chengqian said again.
In this regard, Yi Yuanxi nodded, it would be good to have someone to help.
Now there are too many vacant official positions in the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between everyone is not bad.
After Yi Yuanxi left, Li Chengqian also returned to his royal tent, and immediately asked Liu San to call the officials of the household department.
After a short time, under the leadership of Pu Xiruo, the household officials were in place.
"How has the work of the household department been carried out recently?" Li Chengqian asked.
Pu Xiruo said: "The tax in the last month has obviously increased significantly compared to the previous month, and there are more and more shops in the world. ”
Li Chengqian nodded, Deyang City was the earliest except for Sun Moon Mountain, relatively speaking, it was relatively perfect, and Deyang City was in the middle of Datang and Sun Moon Mountain, which could attract some businessmen to do business in the past.
"One step at a time." Li Chengqian said, "In the future, this king hopes that each city will have its own main fist products, so as to improve the commercial foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty."
One Sun Moon Mountain cannot drive the economic construction of the entire Ming Dynasty.
This king has already made a preliminary idea, and will consult with you another day.
The main reason for calling you here today is to trade with Tuyuhun.
Just today, this king received the news that Murong Fuyun mobilized a hundred percent of the troops of each department to enter the Doohe County to assist in the defense, can you understand what an opportunity this is for my Ming Dynasty? ”
"There is a conflict between Murong Fuyun and Murong Xiaojun?" Puxiru was also a leader in the past, and as soon as he heard the news, he immediately understood what was going on.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's definitely the case, so this is an opportunity for us."
From now on, all the goods of the Ming Dynasty will only enter Tuyuhun from Douhe County, and only trade with Douhe County, of course, we can't say that to the outside world, all understand? ”
The crowd nodded.
What's not to understand about this? Isn't this intensifying the contradiction between Murong Xiaojun and Murong Fuyun?
Li Chengqian said again: "For Murong Xiaojun, we can get some repeater crossbows for him, of course, not more, but we can start this." ”
After hearing what he said, everyone gasped in their hearts, you are going to put Murong Xiaojun to death.
"But how do you do that?" Puccira had some doubts.
Li Chengqian smiled: "Isn't there still Murong Wanqiu?" This king has already instructed Yishang Shu to prepare a mansion for Murong Wanqiu, although the servants are all arranged by us, but what about the personal soldiers who guard the mansion? That can't be provided by Murong Xiaojun himself? However, the number of people must be limited, not more than 100 people, and no weapons can be brought into the Ming court.
The most important thing is that Murong Xiaojun's personal soldiers are not allowed to stay in the Ming court for more than three months, and they are allowed to rotate on March 1. ”
"Murong Xiaojun is afraid that he will not agree." "What kind of soldier is a soldier without weapons?" ”
"No, no, no......" Li Chengqian smiled, "The weapons are provided by us, and they are allowed to take them away when they change guards." ”
Everyone was stunned, and this sent the repeater out?
But that was said, but Puxiru shook his head and said, "There's no reason to do that." ”
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Why is there no reason for Sun Moon Mountain to invite Douhe County to send envoys to Sun Moon Mountain for a long time, just like Wang Dequan has been stationed in Chang'an for a long time."
After finishing the matter, Sun Moon Mountain also asked to send an envoy to be stationed in Douhe County for a long time, asking for the same treatment.
For the sake of friendly diplomatic relations between the two places, mutual exchange.
By the way, speaking of which, we also need to invite an envoy from the Tang Dynasty to be stationed in the Ming court for a long time, and in addition, we also need to send a small team to Wang Dequan to protect his safety. ”
"Murong Fuyun will agree?" Puxiru was a little confused.
Li Chengqian said: "What's the matter with him?" Sun Moon Mountain and Douhe County This is the establishment of diplomatic relations between one city and one city.
The Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, that is the establishment of diplomatic relations between one country and another!
He Murong Fuyun didn't do it, he himself sent someone to discuss with the king, but whether the king agreed or not, whether the two countries have the friendship to establish diplomatic relations, then the king has to see if he is sincere. ”
Li Chengqian actually killed Murong Xiaojun.
He doesn't want his daughter to marry Dayan Mang, so the Ming Dynasty is the best haven for his daughter, as for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two places, he doesn't lose anything, and he can still prostitute a batch of weapons every three months, so what does he not agree?
Even if Murong Fuyun knew, he wouldn't actually care, after all, it was he who benefited.
Although he had some worries and thoughts, he actually didn't believe that Murong Xiaojun would betray him.
Precautions are precautions, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't trust Murong Xiaojun.
What Li Chengqian has done is nothing more than an infinite extension of the crisis of trust between them.
really creates a gap between the two, and finally achieves the effect he wants.
This is like boiling a frog in warm water and grinding it slowly.
In the future, as long as the timing is right, all the small contradictions accumulated before will explode in an instant at that moment, and eventually become an irreparable major conflict.
As for Murong Xiaojun, hehe, a martial artist, where are there so many fancy intestines, he can't think of Li Chengqian's sinister intentions at all.
