Chapter 122: If He Won't Accept It, I'll Take It Myself

On the streets of the Imperial City, Li Xuan beat his horse and walked slowly.

The Thousand Cow Knife hangs on one side and shakes at will.

For some reason, Li Xuan seemed to have some doubts, and her face was full of contemplation.

In the past few days, Li Yan, Yan Zhuang and Hou Cheng have not had too many abnormalities, and the only thing that is noticeable is that Yan Zhuang has checked the secret file of the prince washing Ma Jiahui.

After the death of the crown prince Li Hong, Jia Hui took the blame and left, gave up everything in Luoyang, resigned and returned to his hometown in Yiwu, Wuzhou.

His mansion in Luoyang also changed hands to Li Xuan, and it was still resold by Yanzhuang.

Of course, the one in front is the Yan Zhuang in the disguise of the Buddha with a thousand faces, and the one in the back is the real Yan Zhuang.

Wuzhou, Li Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, how could it involve Wuzhou again.

Wuzhou not only produced a prince Xima Jiahui, but also another famous man who was also from Yiwu, Wuzhou.

This person is King Luo Bing.

Luo Bingwang and Jia Hui are not only fellow villagers, but also the same Geng.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Jia Hui and Luo Bingwang rushed to take the exam together, Jia Hui was admitted to the Jinshi, and Luo Bingwang failed.

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Jia Hui recommended Luo Bingwang to be the petty official of the Taoist King Li Yuanqing, and five years later, Luo Bingwang was deposed because of his upright personality.

In the second year of Qianfeng, Jia Hui recommended Luo Bin Wang, and Luo Bin Wang was appointed as a bachelor from Jiupin Fenglilang and Dongtai Shenzheng.

Now Luo Bin Wang is in charge of the master of martial arts.

King Luo Bin, King of the East China Sea, this name sounds like this!

Luo Bin Wang was born in a poor family, his father was the commander of Bochang County, Qingzhou, died in office, Luo Bin Wang was forced to live in Boshan, and then moved to Yanzhou Bin Hill, living in poverty.

After that, his career went through several ups and downs, and his life was bumpy.

If you say that you are resentful and voted for the Tianyin Sect, you can't say anything.

But he is the king of Luo Bin, the words are rich and magnificent, the breath is rugged and down, the style is high and beautiful, and the words are gorgeous and bright.

From his style, there is not much resentment.

But in the same way, he is King Luo Bin.

A few years later, Luo Bingwang and Xu Jingye raised troops in Yangzhou and drafted "Seeking Wu Cao for Xu Jingye", which caused a sensation in the world.

Even after a thousand years, it has spread its name.

If he is the king of the East China Sea, Li Xuan really believes it.

However, King Luo Bin is a literati after all, although he is extremely bold, it is difficult for Li Xuan to accept that he is now colluding with a traitor like the Tianyin Sect.

But the crown prince Xima Jia Hui was involved in Yan Zhuang, and the Tianyin Sect had Yan Zhuang who was inexplicably involved, which made it difficult for Li Xuan to judge Jia Hui's identity.

If Jia Hui is related to the Tianyin Sect, then Luo Bin Wang is afraid that it is also indispensable.

Wait, no, he was wrong.

If Jia Hui is related to the Tianyin Sect, then is it still necessary for the Buddha with a Thousand Faces to check his secret files?

In addition, if King Luo Bin is the king of the East China Sea, then it is impossible for the Buddha of the Thousand Faces, as a subordinate of the king of the East China Sea, not to know the relationship between Jia Hui and King Luo Bin.

In this way, if you want to find Jia Hui, why bother to do your hands and feet in the palace, can't you go directly to King Luo Bin?

Maybe it's really just a coincidence, it's a coincidence that the names of King Luo Bing and King of the East China Sea are similar.

Besides, Wuzhou belonged to Huiji County in ancient times, and Donghai County was a little to the north.

Li Xuan shook his head and dissipated this thought.

Now that the Buddha of the Thousand Faces knows Jia Hui's whereabouts, in this way, Jia Hui, who has returned to his hometown of Wuzhou, is not equivalent to throwing himself into the net. ….

……

"King of Nanchang!" A sudden voice suddenly interrupted Li Xuan's thoughts.

Li Xuan looked up and saw the old eunuch Wang Fulai standing in front of him.

"Mr. Wang!" Li Xuan immediately jumped off the horse, stood on one side, and bowed to Wang Fulai.

Wang Fulai was already an old man in Taiji Palace during the Zhenguan period, and at that time he had a good relationship with Li Zhi and Wu Cao, and now he has become the head of the palace.

"King of Nanchang, come with us, summoned by the sage!" Wang Fulai shook off the dust in his hand and took the lead in turning to Chaozhen

Walk away from the temple.

Li Xuan silently followed behind Wang Fulai, all the way through the Zetian Gate, passed by the Qianyang Palace, and finally came to the Zhenguan Hall in the rear.

In the solemn Zhenguan Palace, the yellow curtain obscured Li Xuan's gaze at Li Zhi.

"Minister, the king of Nanchang County, the general doctor, Shang Yao Fengyu, the inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang will visit Li Xuan to see the saint, the saint Wan'an!" Li Xuan stood at the front of the main hall and bowed heavily to Li Zhi behind the curtain.

"Flatten." After the curtain, Li Zhi put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Li Xuan: "I heard that you have found the secret passage of Shendu Yuan, and captured the rebels of the Tianyin Sect, you have done a good job, and you have lived up to my hopes."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, but then bowed down and said, "Everything depends on Your Majesty's heavenly might, and the rebels will not dare to run rampant."

"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded lightly, and then asked with a deep gaze, "You should have heard about the affairs of the Silla Kingdom?"

"Yes?" Li Xuan was surprised in his heart, why did he ask about this, but then said: "Silla sent an envoy to sue for peace, and the envoy has come to the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know when His Majesty plans to summon him."

"No hurry!" Li Zhi looked Li Xuan up and down, and said calmly, "You have also met Liu Xiang, Silla sued for peace, do you think I should agree?"

Li Xuan's heart couldn't help jumping, and then calmly arched his hand: "Such a military affairs are not something that a minister can handle, but His Majesty asks, and the minister will take the liberty to talk about it."

Li Zhi leaned back slightly, his gaze continuing to examine Li Xuan.

"For my Tang Dynasty, Silla is actually just a disease of scabies, but if you ignore it, it will definitely become a big problem." Li Xuan bowed deeply, and then said: "However, our dynasty has been tired of fighting for many years, and the soldiers are tired, if we do not take a rest, I am afraid that we will follow the mistakes of Emperor Yang, so Silla still has to agree to peace, but since it is peace, Silla must pay the price of peace, and the price that makes his heart ache for years or even decades cannot be relieved."

"Go on!" Li Zhi nodded indifferently, and even closed his eyes.

"If you want to completely bring Silla to its knees, war alone is not enough at the moment, and other means are needed." Li Xuan carefully considered the sentence, and said slowly: "First of all, it is a vassal, land and indemnity, needless to say, Silla is now eager to become a vassal of our dynasty, as for the land cession, the original Baekje homeland Jeju Island, must be ceded to our dynasty, which can be a naval garrison, and the amount of compensation can be determined by its ten-year military expenditure."

Datang needs to draw troops to deal with the war on the Western Front, but most of them are infantry troops, and the naval army does not have to move.

The location of Jeju Island is just right, and after the Tang Dynasty withdraws troops, Jeju Island can be directly inserted into the key points of Silla like a dagger.

"King Wenmu will not easily cede Jeju Island to the Tang Dynasty, but it doesn't matter, he won't, I'll take it myself, you continue!" ….

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand again and said in a deep voice: "Silla Elementary School, my dynasty has been tired of soldiers for many years, and it will be even more than me, as long as it does not rashly expand northward, I will not easily send troops from Jeju Island, so this second rule is trade."

Aside from war, trade is the best means of weakening a country, or even destroying it.

"Open Incheon, Pyeongtaek, and Gunsan as commercial ports, and our dynasty will travel and trade within them, and establish a Tang people's residential area, in which Silla shall not garrison troops or set up government offices, and all taxes under the rule of law in the residential area shall be determined by the residents, and if Silla does not want to, our dynasty may also give it rent and conclude a contract, and the term may be ninety-nine years." Li Xuan finally showed the grandeur at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm afraid the leased land is just a front." Li Zhi suddenly chuckled and said, "If Silla changes, the concession can be used to meet the landing of the Jeju Island naval army, which is indeed a good method, and with a small number of troops, Silla will not dare to move."

"Yes!" Li Xuan lowered his head, but a fine light flashed in his eyes, the concession is far from being as simple as it seems.

"Our dynasty has been at war for many years, and the treasury is seriously depleted, and through the law of commerce, the wealth of Silla and even the Japanese kingdom can be gathered in our dynasty, and it can also make up for the military affairs.

After a pause, Li Xuan's eyes became cold: "The most important thing is the last one, reform its system, make it give up the bone system, promote filial piety and honesty, carry out imperial examinations, spread Buddhism, and hide hidden dangers

and shake its rule."

"Will the imperial examinations shake the rule of Silla?" Li Zhi's voice suddenly became heavy, after all, the Tang Dynasty has been implementing the imperial examination for decades, and countless talents enter the court every year, if the imperial examination can shake the rule of Silla, it can naturally also shake the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty should know that Silla is narrow and poor, and there are many contradictions between the upper and lower classes, and once the lower classes see the hope of rising, they will desperately impact the interests of the upper nobles, and at that time, Silla will either start a war with the outside world, or only a civil war will break out." Li Xuan lightly offered a poisonous plan.

"At that time, as long as there is a change in Silla, I will be able to wipe it out in one go."
