Chapter 362: Li Longji's thoughts

"Nanzhao."

Jin State Mansion, Bai Yuxian looked at the information of the civil strife in Nanzhao in his hand, and his mind floated.

Nanzhao is the largest country in southern Xinjiang, relatively speaking, it can be said that it is strong and strong, and it is also the main defensive target of the southern defense line of the Tang Jiannan.

However, the previous Nanzhao Kingdom has always been relatively honest.

Since Li Longji ascended the throne and opened the prosperous era, the original Nanzhao King Pi Luoge took the initiative to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and was successively pardoned by Li Longji and named the Duke of Yue and the King of Yunnan, so the Tang Dynasty has been very stable in the defense line of southern Xinjiang.

But this time Nanzhao is in civil strife, so it's hard to say whether the defense line of the southern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty can be as stable as it was original.

Because the reason for the civil strife in Nanzhao this time is because of the death of the original Nanzhao King Pi Luoge.

King Pi Luo Ge of Nanzhao had a total of four sons and one daughter.

After the death of King Pi Luoge of Nanzhao, his four sons began to fight each other for the throne, which caused the Nanzhao Kingdom to fall directly into civil strife.

At present, the biggest hope of winning is Luo Fengying, the eldest son of Pi Luoge.

As the eldest son of Pi Luoge, Luo Fengying has also been both civil and military since he was a child, and has outstanding talents, and at the same time has a lot of power in the Nanzhao Army.

But if Luo Fengying really wants to ascend the throne and become the new king of Nanzhao, it may not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

Because Luo Fengying's civil and military skills and outstanding talents may be a good thing for Nanzhao, but his hero and my enemy, for the Tang Dynasty who needs to guard against Nanzhao, it is not necessarily a good thing, and according to the news, Luo Fenghuan's character is also relatively strong.

Even as early as many years ago, there was some dissatisfaction with the matter of King Pi Luoge of Nanzhao claiming to be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty.

So if Luo Fengying really wins and wins the throne of Nanzhao in the end and becomes the new king of Nanzhao, then whether he is willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty is a big question.

In the palace.

After Li Linfu learned the news of the civil strife in Nanzhao, he also entered the palace for the first time to find Li Longji, and said with a sincere expression.

"Your Majesty, this time the civil strife in Nanzhao, I am afraid that the instability of southern Xinjiang, the minister implores Your Majesty to appoint a new Jiannan Jiedu envoy as soon as possible, to sit in Jiannan to guard against the trouble in southern Xinjiang instead of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are too old, if there is a war, it may be difficult to fight, once lost, it will be endless troubles for my Datang."

Don't look at the Tang Dynasty at this time, it seems that it is still beautiful, especially with Bai Yuxian in charge, almost invincible, and the previous battle of Hulu directly disabled Hulu, even exterminating the Turks, Hui, Qarlu and Daxue Mountain.

But Li Linfu knew that the situation in Datang at this time had already reached a very dangerous point.

Because of the natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, the natural disasters and man-made disasters in various parts of the country are still uninterrupted, resulting in the misery of the people in the world.

In the past few years, Li Linfu has also been working hard to provide disaster relief and resettle the people, but the natural disasters are ruthless, and he also has the heart but is powerless.

For example, today's public grievances have piled up to an extremely terrifying point.

This is already a powder keg, once a fuse ignites and explodes, then the entire Datang may be doomed.

Even if there is Bai Yuxian in charge.

The people of the world will not be able to live, and the worst result is death.

No matter how strong Bai Yuxian is, can he still suppress everyone in the world with his own strength.

Especially today's Taiping Road, it makes Li Linfu feel a sense of fright.

To be honest, the current Li Linfu knows very well how dangerous it is for the current Taiping Dao to develop according to this trend, but he is a little afraid to do anything against the Taiping Dao.

It is because the people in Datang are now struggling to make a living, and the people's grievances are piling up.

In addition, Taiping Road has developed to its current scale.

Once the Taiping Dao incident ignites the public grievances of the people in the world, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And once these things break out, then as the prime minister, he is definitely the first person to be responsible for carrying the blame.

Therefore, the current Li Linfu can be said to be more anxious about the situation in Datang than Li Longji, the son of heaven.

This time, the Nanzhao Kingdom was in turmoil.

Li Linfu couldn't help but find Li Longji at the first time.

Jiannan Jiedu envoy must be replaced, otherwise if Nanzhao is unwilling to surrender to the war in southern Xinjiang after the civil strife, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable.

Because this will reduce the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it will also make people feel that the Tang Dynasty is not invincible, breaking the undefeated golden body of the Tang Dynasty.

Once the undefeated golden body is broken.

It's like the boss showing his blood bar, and there will definitely be countless people who will pounce on him.

The current Datang definitely can't tolerate a little failure, especially in the victory or defeat of the war.

To put it bluntly.

In Li Linfu's view, today's Datang is actually on the edge of the cliff, don't look at the fact that Jingshi is still prosperous, but this is just a performance.

Li Longji still has no sense of crisis, and he does not feel how dangerous the Tang Dynasty is today, in his opinion, the current Datang is still a rich country and a strong people, suppressing all directions, especially in foreign conquests, there is such an invincible general as Bai Yuxian, and at the same time, there are two celestials in the Jingshi, Taixuan Zhenren and Unknown Zen Master.

Anyway, in Li Longji's view, the current Datang and him are as stable as Mount Tai.

However, Li Longji did not completely disobey Li Linfu's words, because he knew that what Li Linfu said was indeed reasonable.

And not to mention anything else, it is Zhang Qiu and Qiong, who are indeed too old, they are already too old, and they are indeed too old and need to be replaced.

"Li Xiang's words are reasonable, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are indeed too old, for the sake of the stability of the Jiannan border pass, it is indeed time to appoint a new Jiannan Jiedu envoy, but this candidate, I don't know if Li Xiang can recommend it."

Li Longji was moved by Li Linfu's words and asked.

"If it was original, this Jiannan Jiedu would be enthroned, and many generals in my court would be suitable, but now, the Nanzhao Kingdom will be in turmoil, and it is unknown whether the next Nanzhao Kingdom will continue to submit to my Tang Dynasty.

"Who?"

"Jin Guogong."

"Jade Immortal."

Li Longji groaned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but nod.

What Li Linfu said does have some truth, now that Nanzhao is in civil turmoil, it is still unknown whether the Tang Dynasty will continue to surrender to him, and sending other ordinary generals to sit in Jiannan may not be able to deter Nanzhao.

But if Bai Yuxian is sent to sit in Jiannan, then Li Longji believes that he can definitely deter Nanzhao and ensure that Nanzhao will not dare to cause trouble.

But in this case, then Li Longji has to consider a problem.

If Bai Yuxian is appointed as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival next, will Bai Yuxian be too heavy.

Although Li Longji trusted Bai Yuxian, and with the two great celestials of Taixuan Zhenren and the Nameless Zen Master, he was not worried that Bai Yuxian would have different intentions.

But the power is high and the lord is shaken.

Li Longji still understands this thing.

The current Bai Yuxian himself is a powerful person, and he is a prince of the country, and he is the commander of the Tiance army and the envoy of the Hexi Festival.

If you add a Jiannan Jiedu envoy, it is a combination of the rights of the two towns and the rights of the Tiance army, and whether it is in the Beijing division or outside the Beijing division, there is a large army power, which is why Li Longji does not think about it.

Let's take a step back and say, even if Bai Yuxian has no intention of him, if he gives Bai Yuxian too many rights, after he abdicates in the future, will his heirs be able to control Bai Yuxian.

Li Longji must think about these questions.

"Your Majesty is worried that this will make the Duke of Jin too powerful."

Li Linfu was exquisite, and when he looked at Li Longji's face, he instantly understood Li Longji's thoughts, and immediately suggested.

"In this way, then why not dismiss the Jin Guogong Tiance Army as the commander, so even if it is weighted, the Jin Guogong is only the envoy of the two towns, and at the same time, you can take this opportunity to test the Jin Guogong, and at the same time, if Your Majesty sends the Jin Guogong to be the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu to sit in Jiannan, then it is reasonable to remove the Jin Guogong from the position of the commander of the Tiance Army."

After speaking, Li Linfu's own eyes also flashed a flash.

In fact, Li Linfu also wanted to know Bai Yuxian's specific thoughts.

The last time he reached a private deal with Bai Yuxian and promised to help Bai Yuxian seek the position of the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, Li Linfu keenly felt that Bai Yuxian might have other thoughts about the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for anyone else to put the Jingshi who was the center of power in a good way without waiting to run out and sit on the side.

If Bai Yuxian agrees to give up his position as the commander of the Tiance Army without hesitation and agrees to go to Jiannan, then Li Linfu's thoughts about Bai Yuxian can be determined.

Bai Yuxian is afraid that he is going to divide one side, and then wait for the time to rise.

However, Li Linfu didn't say these things, especially to tell Li Longji's thoughts, after all, these are just his guesses in the first place.

The second and most important thing is that he is now a man who is about to enter the earth, and the most important thing for him is to leave a way out for himself and the heirs of his family.

Whatever else you do.

What's more, his most outstanding daughters have also been given to Bai Yuxian, and now he can barely be regarded as Bai Yuxian's father-in-law.

In this case, it is even more impossible for him to expose Bai Yuxian and be unfavorable to Bai Yuxian.

On the contrary, for the sake of himself and his family, he also wanted to help Bai Yuxian as much as possible.

As for the loyalty to Datang and Li Longji.

Loyalty is something that is built on affection.

But Li Linfu asked himself that between himself and Li Longji, the interests outweighed the feelings.

The reason why Li Longji used him was because he had the ability to do good things for Li Longji, on the contrary, if he didn't have this ability, I am afraid that he would have been kicked away by Li Longji a long time ago, just like Zhang Jiuling at the beginning.

On the contrary, he did things for Li Longji, also because Li Longji could give him the powerful position he wanted.

Therefore, Li Linfu feels that the relationship between himself and Li Longji is far greater than affection.

Moreover, it is the most ruthless imperial family.

Romance with the emperor.

Definitely the stupidest thing in the world.
