In this way, it was settled for more than a year, the Tang Dynasty rode a chasing electric horse, from time to time between Chang'an and Yanran Mountain, and a few wives had the joy of fish and water, but it was bitter that Lian'er and Wen Jiang, Nanzhao was far away, and they could not see each other, so they could only pass on the book and tell the lovesickness.

Of course, in the past two years, several ladies have added seven sons to him, not to mention, Tang Dynasty also felt that since entering the realm, there is no longer any obstruction in the meridians of the whole body, that is, the two veins of Ren Du have been opened up as said in the previous Tungsten Hero, so that the meridians of the whole body and the eight veins of the Qi Meridian are connected into a whole, and the potential of the body has been maximized, and at the same time, the whole body has been truly reborn, there are almost no impurities in the body, and martial arts have reached an incredible realm.

The only thing he has to do now is to defeat Li Longji and defeat Li Longji openly.

In addition, with the help of Sheva, a mentor and friend by his side, he learned from time to time, and gradually integrated the martial arts of Tang Shou and Nanzhao Western Regions.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in the first month of the spring of 74o AD, a year before the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the border of the Tang Dynasty was in an emergency again - Nanzhao committed the border.

The year before, Zhang Qiu and Qiong and Wolf Zhengxuan fought in Rentoushi, winning and losing each other, and the two sides were afraid of each other, so they were safe.

But Zhang Qiu and Qiong were soon promoted to the head of the household, in accordance with the principle of the promotion of the Jiedu envoy, two Jiedu envoys were changed in succession, but they were all seen by Wolf Zhengxuan, and they were broken in one fell swoop, Li Longji was furious, and changed two Jiedu envoys in succession, but helplessly, Wolf Zhengxuan's martial arts were too strong, and Nanzhao under the leadership of Li Gesang trained real elite soldiers, Jiannan soldiers and horses, which were not as elite as Nanzhao, plus the successive replacement of Jiedu envoys, the drill was slack, the food and salary were mostly embezzled, the internal contradictions were sharp, where is there any combat effectiveness, Wolf Zhengxuan's soldiers occupied several county towns in Sichuan without bloodshed, and surrounded the sword to the south.

At this time, Yang Guozhong had already risen to the top and became the right minister.

I have to say that Yang Guozhong is indeed articulate, good at observing words and feelings, and will cater to Yang Guifei's intentions, so he naturally won the favor of Li Longji, and he is also strong in martial arts, after conspiring with Wei Jiansu to kill Li Linfu, he naturally succeeded Li Xiang as the prime minister, and concurrently served as the secretary of the ministry, of course, there are more than 40 titles on his body, including Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an, and his prestige is incomparable.

Li Linfu died, and the Tang Dynasty was still somewhat sad, after all, the two were in the court and the other in Xinjiang, echoing each other.

This is also to implement Li Gesang's strategy and raise traitorous ministers!

But as soon as the traitor dies, the Tang Dynasty may improve.

When the Tang Dynasty was worried about this, when he heard that Yang Guozhong would soon be named the right minister, he laughed and sent Sheva to personally send heavy gifts to make friends.

He knew that Yang Guozhong was born in a slight poverty and was jealous of the Chang'an magnates, but he was in power, and he would inevitably make many enemies, and he was even more of a tattered person who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and as soon as he took power, the Tang Dynasty could be said to have entered a darker abyss, even darker than when Li Linfu was in power.

Yang Guozhong is now proud of the spring breeze, there are countless money beauties, and there is no limit to fun, and suddenly received news from the Tang Dynasty, and there are countless pearl treasures to dedicate, so he immediately met and treated Sheva well.

In fact, Yang Guozhong was written too cruelly in the history books of later generations, in fact, Yang Guozhong was still very righteous in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw the letters of the Tang Dynasty, he thought that this was a person who worshiped himself as a brother, and immediately wrote a letter, and made friends with the intention of not only not accepting gifts from the Tang Dynasty, but also giving back countless gifts.

The Tang Dynasty received that as long as there were such people in the court as strong reinforcements, it would be easy to sit back and relax, and since then they no longer have to worry about Li Longji harming him, and concentrate on training and practicing martial arts.

By the way, Wei Jian died of poison a year later, and later generations thought that he was dying, but in fact he died under Sun Simiao's poison.

Li Long basically wanted to rule the Tang Dynasty, but this was only something that he thought of when he was in a hurry, and soon, he threw himself into the arms of Yang Yuhuan, lived a life of poetry and wine, forgot the suffering of the world outside the clouds, and lived a life of indulgence.

In the past few years, Yang Guozhong has done a lot of bad things, although many loyal ministers have risked their lives to admonish them, but Li Longji can not listen to them, and the government has reached the darkest period.

Of course, this is only after Yang Guozhong just became the prime minister, since Yang Guozhong "taught" the officials that morning, the court and the central government can no longer hear his opposition, on the contrary, it is all good, once Yang Chenxiang is called, it will be a good word of flattery.

When he was in the court on this day, Yang Guozhong gathered a group of officials together, squinted a pair of drunken eyes, and said something very simple, it was a fable: "Everyone! The Prime Minister has gathered you here today to show you the eight horses outside the palace gate (the horses used for the honor guard, according to the feudal imperial system, there are eight horses outside the gate to show the majesty of the court. You see, they are all very well-behaved, each horse's Yulu is comparable to the officials of the seventh grade, so isn't it a good life, but as long as any one is disobedient and neighs at will, he will be killed immediately, hehe, the prime minister has just taken office, and what he says is all gossip, don't take it seriously! ”

As soon as he said this, no one among the counselors dared to speak ill of him, and they all knew the meaning of these words, and whoever dared to neigh like a horse would immediately be killed by the fate of his head.

Li Linfu also vaguely said similar words back then, Li Linfu was picked up by Yang Guozhong, and he learned his set of forms and gods.

Naturally, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he will take revenge, and he has learned a lot about such things.

The national situation of the Tang Dynasty, since Li Linfu, has been declining, not to mention Yang Guozhong's coming to power.

At such a time, Li Longji, under the repeated urging of his ministers, finally went to the court, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arranged on both sides according to their grades and official ranks.

Li Longji has not set up a court for 10 days now, and there are some things that must indeed be dealt with, especially the recent defeat of Nanzhao again.

Li Longji's eyes were raised, revealing blue and black eyes, which was obviously a sign of being too satisfied, and he stretched his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, other things will be put aside for the time being, but the matter of Nanzhao's offense is urgent, everyone will talk about their opinions?" ”

If this sentence had been changed in the past, many people would have taken over the chatterbox, but now, Yang Guozhong is in charge of the government alone, covering the sky with one hand, who would dare to be suspicious of his long life, steal his limelight, and look at him with their eyes.

In this way, Li Longji's eyes naturally looked over: "Yang Aiqing, you are the pillar of the imperial court, what do you think should be done in this situation?" ”

Yang Guozhong said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, in this case, Weichen thinks that he should replace the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, because he was sent by the imperial court and is not familiar with border defense, Wolf Zhengxuan is cunning and wise, so he is naturally not his opponent." ”

Li Longji nodded: "Although Lu Lun has been in the Tianshan Mountains for many years, when he first arrived in Jiannan, where the situation is complicated, he suddenly encountered a big enemy, and he is not clear about the situation, and it is reasonable for him to fail, but he has made great contributions to me in the Western Regions, can't he be given a chance?" ”

Seeing that the emperor said this, Yang Guozhong still didn't understand the reason, and immediately pushed the boat down the river and said: "What the emperor said is true!" Lu Jiedu is talented, since he can't deny everything because of a failure, he should still be given a chance to reform himself, it is better to transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the DPRK to take the lead in response. ”

Wei Jiansu took over at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general of the defeated army cannot be brave, plus Wolf Zhengxuan's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is as cunning as a fox, although Lu Jiedu has made great contributions to the imperial court, at such a time, it is time to fight a turnaround battle, otherwise, a small Nanzhao defeated the powerful Tang Dynasty one after another, which will damage the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor should put the country first!" ”

Li Longji pondered for a long time: "Not bad! Wei Aiqing's words are not bad, it should be the country first, Wei Aiqing, in your opinion, who is the most appropriate person to send to Jiannan? ”

"The minister thinks that Yang Guozhong Xiangguo is strong in martial arts, and he was born in Sichuan, knows more about Jiannan, and is most familiar with Nanzhao and Tubo and other countries, if Yang Xiangguo goes on an expedition, he will definitely succeed!"

When he said this, Wei Jiansu sneered in his heart, Yang Guozhong, you just became the prime minister, you squeezed me out, and I walked everywhere I and the former Empress Wei are nephews, let the emperor guard against me everywhere, and as a result, monopolize the government, hum, how can I let you into your wish!

When Yang Guozhong heard this, the cold sweat on his body broke out, mother, Wei's child, you want to take revenge, I can't be fooled by you, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is very willing to fight for the emperor on the frontier, and the horse leather shroud, but if I want to lead the army, please ask the emperor to dismiss me as the right minister!" ”

"This must not happen!" Li Longji is pampering him now, where is he willing to let him go.

Yang Guozhong also saw this, all the emperor's eating, drinking and entertainment, including the collection of seahorses, tiger whips and other aphrodisiac things, were all done by himself, once he left, the emperor would be very sad, so he used this strategy to retreat.

The emperor objected, secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, there is no doubt about this, but Weichen thinks that Nanzhao is a small country's ear, if you send the prime minister of a country to go on the expedition, it seems to pay too much attention. ”

But when he said this, Zhang Qiu and Qiong did not react, and only stood dumb in the court.

Li Longji asked, "General Zhang Qiu, what do you think of Yang Aiqing's words?" ”、

Zhang Qiu and Qiong hated Yang Guozhong to the bone, he used to be the head of the household, but as soon as Yang Guozhong gained power, he immediately hit him and demoted him to the head of the household, and now the leader of his faction, Wei Jiansu, has been completely suppressed by Yang Guozhong, as soon as he heard Yang Guozhong's words, he saw through his plan to kill two birds with one stone, hmph, don't you know what you mean, you want to get rid of the fate of being sent out, and the other is to weaken Wei Xiang's power, Wei Xiang has been fully controlled, if I go again, it will be difficult to scream.

knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister is willing to die for the emperor, but helplessly, the minister has been practicing for the past few days, and he has injured the meridians, and he can't even ride a horse, I hope the emperor will forgive me!" ”

Li Longji is a great expert in martial arts, at first sight, it was really good, Zhang Qiu and Qiong were injured, and the generals couldn't ride horses, so what kind of battle was there?

Yang Guozhong saw it, but he sneered in his heart: Boy, you think that you are the best in the world in martial arts, and you want to come to my house to kill me, but you can't imagine that you will be seriously injured by me, but you are not injured by practicing martial arts!

After Li Linfu's death, Tie Murong immediately took refuge in Yang Guozhong, but it was extremely secretive, Zhang Qiu and Qiong did not know the reason, and went to plot against Yang Guozhong, so he naturally fell into the trap.

"Well, in that case, Yang Aiqing, do you recommend another capable minister?" Li Longji was a little impatient, indeed, there has never been such a situation before, you pushed me to let it. You must know that going to the frontier to kill the enemy is an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but these people don't even grasp it, are they crazy?

"I think that Xian Yu Zhongtong is my brother who has been worshiped since childhood, a wealthy businessman in Jiannan, familiar with the situation in Jiannan, and his martial arts are also good, so he can be in charge of Jiannan soldiers and horses!"

"Quasi-play!" Li Longji immediately issued an edict, and it was a foregone conclusion that Xian Yu Zhongtong paper Jiannan Jiedu was made.

Please support, thank you!
