Chapter 662: The Emperor was annoyed and sent his head for the time being
With a "bang", a bunch of twists and turns were pushed to the ground.
Sitting on the throne, Li Zhitie blushed and said angrily: "He deserves to die." ”
Li Xuan arched his hand with a solemn face, then took three steps forward, leaned over and picked up the fold on the ground.
Between leaning down, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Li Jingye's affair with Tibet was not discovered by the secret guards.
Li Xuan got up, put the fold back on the imperial case, took three steps back, and then arched his hand and said: "Please Your Majesty to calm your anger, although this matter is annoying, but there is still something to make up for, if it is made up properly, it is impossible to say that there is no way to fight with Tubo, and it is unknown if my Datang can win a big victory!" ”
"It's good to win big and lose big." Although Li Zhi was still angry, under Li Xuan's persuasion, the anger in his heart finally subsided.
Li Zhi took out a copy from a pile of folds, then gently pushed it in front of Li Xuan, and said coldly: "You can also take a look and see what is going on?" ”
"Whoa!" Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand, stepped forward to pick up the fold, and then took three steps back and opened the fold.
This book was not written by Li Xuan, after he found the Pingshun Dart Game in Fengsefang, he did not go home at all, nor did he return to Honglu Temple, but came directly to the palace to meet the saint.
It's not that he doesn't have time to write the recital, it's really not easy to write about it.
The grandson of the British Duke Li Qian, the heir of the British Duke Li Jingye, used the caravan to smuggle Tibet, but was used by the king of the East China Sea and the Tibetans, and he himself did not even notice it.
Once this kind of thing is written on the recital, it is difficult not to fall into the eyes of people, at least the history museum, the living house and the people of the inner province will see it.
As soon as the news spread, the emperor had not yet figured out how to deal with it, and trouble had already come, and it was Li Xuan who was unlucky in the end.
……
Li Xuan flipped through the fold in his hand and read it carefully.
This compass is a secret fold from the Hundred Cavalry Division, which details the size of the caravan involved and the place where it traveled that had been verified by the court.
Headed by the British Duke Li Jingye, including the Yumen Zhichong Lieutenant, a total of more than a dozen Zhichong Lieutenants participated in it.
From Persia in the west, Dashi, to the Turks in the north, to Silla in the east, to the Wa Kingdom, to the south to Champong, and Xinla, almost everywhere the Tang army arrived, there were the footsteps of this trading house, and the great benefits obtained in it can be seen.
Li Xuan had heard of the name of this firm before, but he knew that its background was very hard, but he didn't expect that its biggest background was Li Jingye, and this caravan even touched Silla and the Wa Kingdom.
That's right, the Yangzhou Shen clan was also involved in this caravan.
Previously, the caravan of the Shen family went to sea with the military to Silla, and there was the shadow of Li Jingye behind it.
No wonder there is no one to say a word about such a big thing, inside and out.
However, it is a pity that the Shen clan's status in this caravan is relatively low.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they want to cooperate with Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister has not found any information related to Tibet in this recital." Li Xuan respectfully handed the fold to the imperial case.
Today, Empress Wu went to the Great Ci'en Temple instead of the emperor to offer incense to the Holy Empress Wende.
Empress Wende Sheng is the mother of Emperor Li Zhi, the eldest grandson empress.
Li Zhi is unwell, and he tries not to go out when the weather is cold, and he worships the eldest grandson queen, and generally when the weather is warm, such as Qingming.
That's why Li Xuan was able to see the emperor directly today.
"Don't play tricks, it's not like you can't see it." Li Zhi glanced at Li Xuan angrily, and then said: "Since the king of the East China Sea and the people of Tubo dare to use this road, then it means that this road will definitely reach Tubo, which is nothing more than taking down the name of the caravan in the middle and replacing it with another name...... This is not a temporary idea, Chang'an is so far from the Western Regions, if there is a slight difference, the news will not be transmitted, and the truth can be seen at a glance. ”
Since the king of the East China Sea and the Tubo people dared to use this trade route in secret, it means that at least they had successfully spread the news through this trade route at least once.
Li Xuan arched his hand with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, after all, this matter is still the king of the East China Sea using the caravan of the British duke...... In fact, the caravans of the British government traveled to and from Tibet, which was nothing more than the sale of tea, porcelain, salt, silk and other things, and it was not too harmful in itself......"
"And iron!" Li Zhi said a word, and the temperature in the entire Penglai Hall plummeted by three points in an instant.
Sitting on the throne, Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan, chuckled coldly, and said: "Twenty-seven Lang, I know that you also have a caravan in the Western Regions, and I even know that when you know that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are about to go to war, you immediately shrink the size of the caravan, and through association, let the Qin family and the old department of the Wei Chi family strictly prohibit the smuggling of salt and iron in various places, and the heart of the country is obvious...... But his, this bastard took the opportunity to expand the scale of smuggling, and even made the King of the East China Sea and the Tubo people target his caravan. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi suddenly snorted coldly and said: "If this secret letter wants to be sent to Tubo, it will take at least half a month, and then it will take more than half a month to reach Luo, and if you can react and send the news back again, it will be at the end of March and the beginning of April, and the war will start." ”
With a "bang", Li Zhi slammed his fist on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "The Tang Dynasty is already going to war with Tubo, but he is still calculating in the fly camp, ignoring the army, ignoring the Tang Dynasty, I can't wait to kill him now." ”
Li Zhi's anger was almost monstrous, since the defeat of Dafeichuan, for several years, he ignored the obstruction of the government and the opposition, and was bent on promoting the revenge of the Tang Dynasty against Tibet.
It can be said that he gambled on most of the court, but it was such a moth that almost completely buried his hard work.
I don't know how many of the people and things involved in this trade route have fallen into the eyes of the Tibetan people.
I don't know how many people have already been used by them.
greatly affected Li Zhi's preparations.
……
"Your Majesty, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, what is happening now is exactly what the King of the East China Sea wants to see." Li Xuan's extremely heavy words made Li Zhi calm down a little, and he waved his hand and motioned for Li Xuan to continue.
Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand and continued: "Your Majesty, the interests of the British caravan are only one of them, and his status as the grandson of the British princess is the real point. ”
General Sixteen Guards, the general aside, just Li Xuan's Yue Weng Liu Renliang, and Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the military department, all used to be Li Xuan's old department.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, I won't move him for the time being, spring is coming, Dujiangyan should be repaired, and the natives of southern Shu will inevitably make some changes when Tubo moves, let him lead his troops to take a look, I won't let him be contaminated with the slightest bit of the westward expedition." Li Zhi snorted coldly, his attitude towards Li Jingye was already extremely bad.
"Your Majesty." Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand, then breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Your Majesty, since the King of the East China Sea has set his sights on the British Duke, I am afraid that in the matter at the end of the month, he will also use the influence of the British Duke, and please ask Your Majesty to temporarily resettle the younger brother of the British Duke, Li Jingyou, the commander of the British County, and Li Huan, the son of the British Duke, so that they will not appear in the mansion of the Lord of Guide County. ”
Li Zhi suddenly looked at Li Xuan with a little surprise: "Twenty-seven Lang is worried about the battle of Tubo, but he is not worried about the king of the East China Sea discovering the heir to the British princess?" ”
Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Tubo is related to the overall situation, and it must not be easy at all, but the king of the East China Sea, others have entered the urn, and now I see, under the siege and restrictions, how did he jump out?" ”
If Li Jingye's mansion is not restricted, then there is no doubt that the king of the East China Sea will definitely sneak into the mansion of the lord of Guide County with the help of the power of the British Mansion.
Although he has the goal of the British Duke, as long as he locks down the people who appear by his side that day, it is also very likely that the King of the East Sea will use them as bait to disrupt the situation and then fish in troubled waters.
So the best way is to cut off the ways he may use one by one.
cut off all his means of escape, so that he could kill him.
Li Zhi finally smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, this matter will be handled by you." ”
"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly, and was just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Li Zhi stopped him: "Twenty-seven lang!" ”
Li Xuan immediately stopped, and then turned around: "Your Majesty! ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "The British duke will not move for the time being, and the caravan will not move for the time being, but I will adjust the lieutenants at all levels along the way, so as not to be used by the Tubo people, these people don't know that they have been seen through the arrangement by the Tubo, and they can still be used in a different direction."
Now the question is that the secret letter, that secret letter, how are you going to send it to Logos? ”
"The minister's opinion, it's best, it's better not to send that secret letter." Li Xuan bowed his hand, and then said cautiously: "Although the minister knows the contents, he doesn't know whether there is any other information in Tubo, and if it is consistent, it is inevitable that there will be some unknown key points exposed." ”
Li Zhi nodded in surprise and said, "I never thought that Twenty-Seven Lang was so cautious and thoughtful. However, the secret letter still had to be sent, but as I said, the Tubo people must have mastered the information along the way through this trade route, so they made a good fuss on this trade route. ”
Li Xuan's face became solemn, and he arched his hand: "Inevitably, since this is the case, then the minister suggested that the imperial Shi Lu Yuan let Shangjuan impeach, and the governors of Liangzhou and Lanzhou were not careful, and ordered them to strengthen the border defense, at least, not to let this secret letter be sent to Tubo so quickly." ”
"Good!" Li Zhi nodded with some amusement, then waved his hand and said, "Actually, don't worry about Twenty-Seven Lang, Tubo won't target you too much." ”
Li Xuan arched his hand and said solemnly: "The minister also hopes so." ”
Li Xuan has never been a careless person, and he doesn't want to be targeted by the Qinling Tomb too early.
On Qinling, the prime minister of Tubo, the battle of Dafeichuan in that year, although there was a convenient time and place, but it was not idle to be able to defeat Xue Rengui.
"Okay." Li Zhi's smile retracted, nodded solemnly, and said, "In this battle, I will let you ......"
"Report ......" A hurried voice sounded outside the hall, and Li Xuan and Li Zhi's faces were solemn at the same time.
Penglai Hall is not any other place, this is a place for Li Zhi to recuperate, and it is not allowed to shout easily, let alone run quickly.
There's something going on.
An attendant hurriedly ran in, and then bowed his hand to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, news from Taiji Palace, Princess Xi, pass away." ”
Li Zhi stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
He looked down at Li Xuan and said in a low voice: "King Nanchang, you go immediately now, together with the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Temple, Guanglu Temple, and the Inner Service Province, to deal with the funeral of Xiwang's aunt together. ”
"Minister, obey the order." Li Xuan immediately bowed his hand solemnly, and then turned to leave.
……
Looking at the back of Li Xuan's departure, Li Zhi's mind instantly flashed all the information about Li Xuan, and finally, his face finally eased.
Not everyone has endless ambitions like the East China Sea King and Li Jingye.
