"You don't need to be so slippery, just say what you should say, you have to understand that it is not the imperial court that controls the life and death of your family, now they are in my hands, if you still have reservations about me, then I also have reservations about your family, what is the situation in the border area? I believe that you have also seen those three handwritten letters, if you want them to come back and live a good life, then you have to say everything you should say in your heart, and don't be afraid of offending anyone in the court. ”

Li Xiang also noticed it, this guy obviously has reservations, since this is the case, Li Xiang will open the skylight and say bright words, let you know who is doing the errand now, those people in the court do not need to save face, they themselves are ineffective, including the eldest grandson Wuji, they must have been blinded by these people, of course, this is a better aspect, if you want to talk about the bad aspect, it may be that the eldest grandson Wuji picked the wrong person, which belongs to his guilt.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, this era does not pay much attention to places outside the Central Plains, whether it is Tuyuhun near Chang'an or Goguryeo far away, if the emperor personally gives an order, the officials may still be able to pay attention to it, but if the emperor does not pay much attention to this area, the officials will pay less attention to it.

It seems that these spies used a lot of money from the imperial court, but if you calculate carefully, their local expenses are not enough at all, at most they are listening to some civil news, and everyone will send it back to Chang'an, and there is no way to determine the real news.

What's more, Datang's financial situation is not good during this period of time, if the financial supply is sufficient, maybe they can still get some accurate information, but if the financial supply is not good, you can't blame these spies on the front line.

"Please forgive your sins, please forgive your sins......"

When it comes to his own family, Zhang Jiuli can't be the same as just now, quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, he has also been an official for a long time, when you report to your boss, you must not involve the shortcomings of others, if you report with the shortcomings of others, it means that you have a grudge against this person.

Officialdom has its own rules in officialdom, you must not report your own affairs, you must not make extraneous branches, especially in the face of royal children like Li Xiang, because such royal children are in charge of relatively wide affairs, and there is no specific restriction, so they can manage anything.

For example, if Zhang Jiuli tells the truth, then all the yamen in the court may be offended, especially some officials in charge of this side, if Li Xiang goes back If he starts the investigation from top to bottom, the paper will not be able to contain the fire this year, and Zhang Jiuli will eventually be exposed in front of everyone.

"This king knows what you're worried about, but you should also inquire, mainly the people who live with this king, this king can protect them thoroughly, but these people must also show their rights, if you are half-hearted here, then the final result is not good."

In order for Zhang Jiuli to tell the truth, Li Xiang has to give some promises, people are now doing things for you wholeheartedly, if you are suppressed by some old bureaucrats in the court, then you must also stand up, not to keep Zhang Jiuli, but to show all the officials of your faction clearly, what you are doing is to be able to support them for a piece of the sky, then they can do things for you 100%, otherwise who can not have their own little Jiujiu?

"Wechen will definitely ...... in the future after thanking His Highness"

"Get down to business."

Seeing that Zhang Jiuli was going to speak at length again, Li Xiang immediately stopped this guy, if you listen to your tirade here, we don't know when we will hear it, so let's get down to business first, and give a detailed introduction to Nanzhao's military strength.

"If you want to talk about the content of the imperial court investigation, it can basically be said that it was more than ten years ago, and now there should be nearly 70,000 people in the regular army of Nanzhao, in addition to some local armed forces, there must be 10,000 or 20,000 people, all in the hands of local officials, Nanzhao has always given people the impression that the country is small and the people are weak, but their population is also in the millions, but the people don't like war very much, but if it is a war mobilization, more than 100,000 people are still no problem."

Zhang Jiuli knows more about the situation here, so he integrated it a little in his mind, and said this number, and it is really similar to the history that Li Xiang is familiar with, if this number is placed in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will resign and go home in shame.

The combat effectiveness is similar to that of the Tusi army on the mountain, but the Tusi army on the mountain is dangerous to defend, and there is no other dangerous place on the side of Nanzhaoguo, if you want to use military strength to take here, it should be about the same as the difficulty of the four major Tusi, but there is another difficulty here, that is, the logistics supply line is relatively long.

Li Xiang also said this in Chang'an City, the naval warships have been repaired, even if they are not needed, Li Xiang is willing to let them run in the north and south coastal waters, if they can't even run here, then how to drive you to gallop the ocean in the future? You know, the world is big.

"How much do you know about the current Nanzhao King Luo Sheng?"

Li Xiang remembered this cheap father-in-law, Nanzhao wants to marry the Tang Dynasty, this person is to marry his daughter to Li Xiang, if it is not Li Xiang, I am afraid that people are still unwilling, and they must be the wife, because Li Xiang may become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it is very likely, so even if someone's daughter is a partial house, people also agreed.

"Back to His Royal Highness, this person once went to Chang'an City when he was young, and was entrusted by his father to go to the Tang Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and later received an official position of assassination, of course, it is only an honorary official position, after returning to Nanzhao, because he had been to Chang'an to worship, coupled with outstanding personal ability, he became the current King of Nanzhao, which should not be a simple role."

Zhang Jiu said with a sad face, this aspect is indeed not his strong point, and no one will be an official in Sichuan and still think about Nanzhao.
