Chapter 883: Luo Sheng in a hurry
Luo Xionghai, the king of Zhennan, was already very careful, but he didn't expect his eldest brother to move so fast, and he hadn't started eating yet, people came from afar, and they had to let the family finish the meal and talk about business, who knew that he would say this on the way to dinner.
Li Xiang doesn't know how to answer at the moment, if he doesn't know the specific situation of Nanzhao on the road, plus the kings of other people have said so, and he is also the eldest son of the king, Li Xiang has no reason to refuse, but if he agrees now, how can he sway from the middle to the middle, only by swaying left and right can he strive for the greatest interests for himself and Datang.
"Your Highness has come from afar, presumably now you are physically and mentally exhausted, eldest brother still don't talk about this kind of thing in the court, let's talk more about the customs of the southwest, I think His Royal Highness is also very interested in this."
Luo Xionghai is not an ordinary person Seeing that Li Xiang did not answer this question, he knew that his eldest brother's question was not expected by Li Xiang, as long as Li Xiang did not answer in public, it means that he still has a chance, no matter how his eldest brother arranged, as long as the person did not go to Chang'an City, then this matter was not decided.
Luo Sheng glanced at his younger brother with some displeasure, over the years, he accidentally let this younger brother develop too fast, it has reached the point where the king can't contain him, if he continues to develop like this, even if his son comes back from Chang'an City, I'm afraid there will be no way to succeed to the throne smoothly.
Of course, this is also something that can't be helped, in addition to the younger brother's age advantage, the queen mother is also a great help.
The queen mother felt most sorry for this little son, and used all the strength of the family on the younger son, especially some military positions in Nanzhao, almost all of which were under the control of Zhennan Wangfu, and Luo Sheng, the king, was also aggrieved all these years.
"His Royal Highness the King is really embarrassed, this journey is also tiring, about these important things, let's still hold talks on important occasions, if this king answers casually, in case there is a disagreement with the court in the future, we don't look good, don't we start a formal meeting tomorrow?" Not bad for this day. ”
Li Xiang's words made King Zhennan's heart bloom with joy, did you hear it? It's not that we're here to stop you, it's that His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not willing to talk about this matter, which means that this matter is full of variables, if you can understand, there is no need to continue to talk about this matter, in case you anger the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid you won't have good fruit to eat.
"What His Royal Highness Taisun said is that I didn't think it through."
What about being the head of a country? When facing the grandson of the Tang Emperor, he was obviously talking about serious matters, but because people were unwilling to talk about it now, then he had to stand up and take this mistake down, in addition to Li Xiang's prestige, he had also received news in recent times, and the four major toasts in their north had also been dealt with.
Speaking of the four major toasts in the north, maybe others don't know how powerful they are, but Luo Sheng has been dealing with them for a long time, whenever the Central Plains Dynasty oppresses this side, Nanzhao will also provide them with some support, they are like a barrier in the north of Nanzhao, if it is broken through by the Central Plains Dynasty, then Nanzhao will not have a good life.
Originally, I thought that the strength of the four major toasts was strong, even if the Central Plains Dynasty sent a large army over, then the four major toasts also had enough strength to stop it, but now it seems that it is far from the same thing, the four major toasts have now died down, and they went to Chang'an to worship together, and when they came back from the Chang'an pilgrimage, the situation in the whole Sichuan was different.
This is also a reason why Luo Sheng is anxious, only if his son is canonized in Chang'an City, then their position can be stabilized, the current society is different from before, if it was before, as long as you know the vassal state of Datang, then Datang will definitely not trouble you.
But now the Tang Dynasty doesn't seem to believe much in the vassal states, but wants to directly occupy this area, think about Gaochang and understand, if the Tang Dynasty also directly occupies Nanzhao, can they, the Nanzhao royal family, have a good result? It's ridiculous that the second brother still doesn't understand that this is still against himself everywhere, if Li Xiang agrees, when Li Xiang returns to the capital, let the prince follow, as long as Li Shimin personally promises, no matter how powerful the Tang army is, it will never violate the promise of His Majesty the Emperor.
The banquet was held in the palace hall, which was already the largest palace in the entire Nanzhao, but it was similar to a palace in the capital, although the diet was very delicious, Li Xiang and his entourage ate very energetically, but no matter which one of the people in the Nanzhao Kingdom was just accompanied, and there was no much care.
They are actually the same idea as His Royal Highness the King, as long as Li Xiang promised the matter just now, even if the King of Zhennan can get that promise now, they can happily accompany Li Xiang to eat, drink and have fun, but Li Xiang avoided talking about that issue, this matter is not simple.
They all know that the four major toasts in the north are like them, if we are the same as them, then the royal family is still like this, not to mention us people, so they are all pretending to be worried when eating, Li Xiang can see clearly after sweeping around, but Li Xiang deliberately did not mention this matter, so that you can slowly worry for a while, if you all sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, then how should our affairs be carried out?
Because Li Xiang and the others were tired of traveling and driving, so in the middle of the meal, before the song and dance performance was finished, the officials of the Li Fan Yuan had already stood up, hoping to end the banquet here, and then let Li Xiang and his entourage go back to have a good rest, after all, they had been on the road for more than half a month, and there would be an official meeting between the two sides tomorrow.
The request of the officials of the Lifan Yuan was a legitimate request, and they also received Li Xiang's eyes, so these officials of Nanzhao did not dare to stop them, so they could only send Li Xiang and them back to the place where they lived.
This time, except for the three hundred guards, all the other personnel were stationed outside the city, and the Nanzhao State provided a supply, perhaps they also heard about Gaochang, so let Li Xiang and the army separate, just rely on your low city wall to separate, is it useful?
