The news of the Tang Dynasty's victory in Anxi finally reached Li Longji's ears through messengers again and again, coupled with the dredging of the eldest princess Yuzhen.

Although Wei Jiansu and Zhang Qiu Jianqiong obstructed in every way, under the hands of the eldest princess and Li Linfu, there was still something that could not be successfully handled, and Qin'er mediated in many ways and conveyed the news to Li Longji.

Now there have been some slight changes in the situation in the court, Yang Guozhong has suddenly risen to the top, and his position has changed from the former idle stable judge to the servant and supervising the imperial envoy. Yang Guozhong this person, good martial arts, courage is also big, the emperor asked him to go to Shandong to sort out the property, enrich the treasury, he really has a way, a large number of acquisitions of Sijuan, encourage trade through the Silk Road, not to mention, but also to many rich people in Jinan, do not "donate" to the country people are "bandits", he went, the entire Shandong wealth looted to do, but almost all handed over to the imperial court, Li Longji naturally praised him for really good money, promotion is also reasonable.

However, despite this, with Yang Guozhong's current official position, it is not enough to arouse the attention of Li Linfu and Wei Jiansu, the DPRK and China are still in power for Wei and Li, and after the Tang Dynasty's power is expanded, Li Linfu is now a brother-like relationship with him, considering the strategy of raising traitorous ministers of Li Gesang, the lord of Nanzhao, the Tang Dynasty and Li Linfu have released their previous suspicions and faintly formed an alliance, Wei Jian replaced his father's position, and he is still the prime minister, and a group of people such as Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Pei Yaoqing and others also form a party, and they are inclined to each other, and what they want to do, The other faction must do everything possible to obstruct, Li Longji mediated and mastered the art of balance, but gradually as he originally designed the track, he thought that this was his Ming creation, in this way, since he can live a drunken life with Yang Yuhuan every day, he can also firmly control the whole world in his own hands, a bit like Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor to be called the emperor, complacent, but I don't know, there is no such thing in the world that is obtained without hard work, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, after the prosperity of the void Kaiyuan, there is only an empty shell left.

Silent!

When he heard the news, Li Longji's expression was silent, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly sneered.

He sneered for a long time, and when he laughed, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, making his whole person look hideous, and then, he clenched his fist, and the sound of the bone joint sounded like a popping bean, and then a heavy punch was punched, and the air felt like it was being torn.

Then, his whole person suddenly relaxed, lay down in a big chair, and asked Gao Lishi next to him: "Lux, what do you think of this person in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Gao Lishi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks he is a capable man." ”

"Not bad!" Li Longji said after a while, when he said these two words, there seemed to be a great resentment in his chest, which made the jade cup on the table be shocked by his muffled drink, and poured the tea gurgling, "I didn't think I still underestimated him, he is indeed a capable person, do you think that 10,000 soldiers and horses can defeat the Turks?" ”

"Impossible! Back to the emperor, I heard that the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks this time, relying on the Khitan soldiers and horses and the thief army that was incorporated when they defeated the Huo injured horse thieves before, otherwise, how could a mere 10,000 soldiers and horses compete with the army of Xu Liesheng, this kid's other abilities are nothing, and his ability to win over people is not small. He knew that the emperor didn't like the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had to pick some loopholes in the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't say that he was an omnipotent existence.

"Lux, you are wrong about this, he will win people over, and he is also a skill, besides, his martial arts were already good before, and now I am afraid that he is not weaker than you, if I ask you to do it with him, what are the chances of winning?"

Gao Lishi pondered for a while: "Back to the emperor, even if he makes great progress in martial arts, the old slave thinks that there is still a fifty percent chance of winning." ”

Li Longji sighed: "Everything in the world is under my control, I thought that it was just a simple matter to concoct the Tang Dynasty, and I didn't expect it to happen many times." ”

"No, Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty privately incorporated horse thieves, and also borrowed troops from the Khitan privately, and in order to win, he gave up the city of Anxi, even if he won, it will greatly damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be easy for the emperor to deal with him."

Li Longji smiled: "Lux, what did you say, if I was willing to do this, I would have done it a long time ago, and I would have dismissed him with an edict, but it couldn't convince him, I am rich in the world, and there are countless means, even if he can succeed in the Tang Dynasty, he will eventually die in my hands, the three crimes you just said, any one of them, can cure the crimes of the Tang Dynasty, but he has just won a big victory, Weizhen Western Regions, if I depose him, the frontier is unstable, and more importantly, the people of the world will laugh at me for being a small-bellied person, Maybe my daughter Xinling will also blame me, the man she likes should be a heroic man, not a man like Princess Gaoyang, but I have to control him, I don't want another Wang Mang. ”

In this way, the emperor rewarded the Tang Dynasty, food and wine, this time, there was no longer a lot of delay, and finally arrived one by one.

The marshal's mansion was to hold a banquet to celebrate, and after three rounds of drinking, Niu Monk and Yu suddenly grabbed Tang Dynasty: "Big brother, little brother has a few words, I need to talk to you alone." ”

Tang Chao saw that his face was solemn, not like he was joking, and pointed to the four tigers of the Zhuan clan and Londosheva and others beside him: "These are my brothers and relatives who are friends of life and death, if you have anything to say, say it directly!" ”

Seeing that Tang Dynasty said this, Niu Shengyu paused and said: "I am now nominally the deputy protector of Anxi, and with the emperor's commendation, I received a secret edict from the emperor, big brother, please see!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a roll of yellow silk, and sure enough, it was a closed edict.

The Tang Dynasty picked it up and unfolded it: "Listen to the monks and children who protect the cattle in the deputy capital of Anxi, be sure to pay attention to every move of the Tang Dynasty, and if there is any abnormality, report to me; Moreover, Tang Chao will soon be convicted of leaving the Western Regions on charges of crime, and when the time comes, Anxi will protect you, if you don't have an inch, I will be punished. ”

After reading them one by one, the Tang Dynasty gritted his teeth in anger, thinking, Mom, I threw my head for you, spilled my blood, and protected the border passes, but you restrained me everywhere, and wanted me to go back to be a peaceful and self-guarding people, but I didn't know that I had crossed over, and I knew the trajectory of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and your emperor didn't have a few years to do, but he was still jealous of his talents, so he couldn't tolerate things, where was he still like the emperor of the strongest empire in the world, and the king of the dead country like Ji Xuan was almost the same.

Tang Dynasty was furious, but with his martial arts at this time, he quickly calmed down the anger in his chest, and only smiled faintly: "I knew that Li Longji was dissatisfied with me, but I didn't expect him to repeatedly conspire and calculate me!" ”

At that moment, he let his cronies read this edict one by one, and they all gritted their teeth and vowed to take revenge.

Among them, Rondo was the most angry: "Big brother, we will die for him, but he is calculating us behind his back, it is better to lead the army, enter Chang'an, kill this dog emperor, and serve my brother as the emperor!" ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded one after another, and they all looked at the Tang Dynasty with their eyes.

Tang Chao hurriedly said: "Huh! ”

When everyone was silent, Tang Chao said with a solemn face: "Such a big thing, how can it be child's play, not to mention that Li Longji has countless fierce generals, just say that he himself, his martial arts are also extremely powerful, plus he can mobilize the troops of the whole country, the Tang Dynasty has not yet fallen apart, and it is very unwise to do it at this time." ”

When Sheva heard this, he showed a hint of liking: "I always thought that you didn't want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, but listening to what you just said, it's not that you don't want to do it, but you just feel that the time has not come?" ”

Tang Chao lowered his voice and said: "Exactly, Brother Niu, although you have been sorry for me before, but in life, if you don't seek wealth and glory, and smell the world, people like you and me are indeed more uncomfortable than death, and it is reasonable for you to plot against me, but today you gave me the emperor's edict, which shows that there is no estrangement, why should I treat you as a slave, come, this is the antidote, after taking it, from now on, you will no longer be under my control, enjoy a happy life!" ”

Niu Monk and his children were overjoyed, they could no longer imagine that the Tang Dynasty was so generous, and gave themselves the antidote to control themselves, obviously they really believed in themselves, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Brother Tang, you measure it like this, you must be an emperor and an emperor in the future, I will have no two hearts in the future, be your minister!" ”

At this point, he knelt down, a bit like the situation of meeting the emperor.

After all, the four tigers of the Zhuan clan all knew that the Tang Dynasty was the tenth prince of Nanzhao, and it was extremely likely that they would inherit the unification of Nanzhao in the future.

Tang Chao panicked and shouted in a low voice: "Get up for me, what is this like!" ”

When he said these words, his face turned pale, and he was obviously really angry.

"You are trapping me in injustice, fortunately you are now in the mansion of the marshal, and all the people here are henchmen, but your words, put them away for me as soon as possible, even if you want to raise an army against the Tang Dynasty, it will be three years later, now, you must not reveal a little news, otherwise, the heads of all of you here will not be so safe!"

"Three years, why three years? The Tang Dynasty is now in political turmoil, the people are not living, and the contradictions have reached a very acute point, perhaps, big brother, you climb high and raise your arms, and respond to a hundred calls, even if you don't win, you can also avoid the disaster of Nanzhao, you look at Xian Yu Zhongtong, who just became the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, and was defeated again and again, the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as even a small Nanzhao, and now he will not be able to fight, and he will definitely regret it. ”

Although Niu Monk and Yu didn't know what the specific relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao was, Sheva and the Four Tigers of the Zhuan clan were from Nanzhao, and he could easily know about it, so he was very anxious.

He is also a person who does big things, and knows that what the Tang Dynasty needs most now is to have courage, as long as he takes one step out, it will be a new world, so he strongly encourages the Tang Dynasty to do it now.

Tang Chao pressed his shoulder and smiled slightly: "Brother Niu, this is the antidote, you take it first." As he spoke, he put a fiery red pill into his hand, and then said: "What you mean, I already know, but now the anti-Tang Dynasty, the time is not yet ripe, I am proficient in "Yi" science, I once secretly calculated a hexagram, although the Tang Dynasty's qi is declining, but there are at least three years of stability, besides, An Lushan has 200,000 troops, sitting in Taiyuan, and Tongguan has 100,000 Tang troops, all of which are the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty, although I now have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands, but I am far from their opponents, what we have to do now is It is to use the large amount of money I got in Lingnan to recruit people, buy weapons, and practice diligently, and once the world changes, we can take advantage of the situation, and we must not act recklessly! ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, knowing that what Tang Dynasty said was right, and even the Niu monks and children had respect in their hearts, they didn't expect that Tang Dynasty's mind was so shrewd, and they didn't move their anger at all.

But this kid said that he is well versed in the study of "Yi", whether it is true or false, maybe he is right, three years later, the world will be in chaos.

It seems that my worries are unnecessary, and he is not unwilling to rebel, but just waiting for the right time.

Since then, the prestige of the Anxi Protectorate has been resounding in the Western Regions, the horse thieves are also deeply restrained, and the Silk Road has been restored, and Yang Guozhong's camel team has been coming and going, earning a lot of money. However, because he wanted to befriend Yang Guifei, and Mrs. Qiu Guo was also the best in the world, Yang Guozhong still maintained a very fair and ambiguous relationship with her.

The Tang Dynasty immediately began to recruit soldiers and horses and purchase weapons, of course, these were carried out in an extremely secret state, he knew that once Li Longji knew, women like Xinling and Qin'er would no longer belong to him, and he would have to die at that time.
