Chapter 64: My Command, Don't Say It Twice
"Daqin and Daming sent envoys to Luoyang at the same time, what is their purpose?" Li Leng put down his chopsticks, looked at Bao Wei with a slightly lazy gaze, and said, "I know that the pavilion has a special source of intelligence, even if the Han Dynasty's Hanging Mirror Division stares at you deadly, it can't cut off your intelligence channels." ”
Bao Wei knelt on the ground, and Zhengse said: "From today onwards, all the intelligence channels of the pavilion will be used by His Highness. ”
"But I don't want the crown prince and King Yu to know. Li sneered even brighter.
Bao Wei's body shook and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates know how to reply to the crown prince and King Yu, and will never betray Your Highness." ”
His Royal Highness made him feel deep fear and uneasiness, and only by being obedient could he survive.
"Very good, you go and call Cai Xiang, Shen Hao, and Shangguan Yun in, I have something to tell them. Li Leng put down his chopsticks, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slightly lazily.
"Yes, Your Highness. Bao Wei respectfully retreated, and then invited Cai Xiang, Shen Hao and Shangguan Yun, he was very interested in guarding the door of the room, without Li Leng's order, he did not dare to enter the house half a step.
"Your Highness, we are ready to follow the foreign affairs process, and first submit an official foreign affairs letter to the Honglu Temple of the Han Dynasty. Cai Xiang said, "According to the rules, the Emperor of Han will summon us on the third to the fifth day to discuss the alliance between the Han and Tang dynasties at the court meeting. ”
Shen Hao said: "There are three to five days of free time here, Your Highness, should we contact the magnates of Luoyang City more, and wait until the court meeting to hope that they will support the Han and Tang alliances." ”
Cai Xiang nodded and said: "Your Highness, the minister also feels that what Lord Shen said is very true, although the key to the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasty is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the opinions of the courtiers are also very important, and we can't ignore the opinions of the courtiers on the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties." ”
Li Leng played with his wine glass, listened quietly, and never spoke.
The three of them didn't know what Li Leng's thoughts and thoughts were, and after saying their opinions and ideas, they all looked at Li Leng in unison, waiting for Li Leng's next order.
"Are you all done?" After a long silence, Li Leng took a sip of wine and asked.
"Your Highness, please make it clear. Cai Xiang and Shen Hao bowed at the same time.
"Then have you thought about which people in the DPRK and China support the Han and Tang alliances, and which ones oppose the Han and Tang alliances?" Li Leng looked at the two and asked.
Cai Xiang thought for a while and said: "At present, the high-level of the Han court is divided into two factions, one is the main peace faction, and the other is the main battle faction. The main peace faction believed that the Yuan Rong clan and the Tang, Song, Ming, Qin and other vassal states should make peace. The main battle faction believes that the foreign strategy must be tough to the end, and if necessary, it can send troops to conquer. The minister thought that if he wanted to promote the formation of the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties, he must win over the main peace faction and beware of the main battle faction. ”
Shen Hao also nodded and said: "Your Highness, the minister feels that what Lord Cai said is very true, the situation of the Han Dynasty is currently complicated, and without the support of the courtiers, the Emperor of Han will not consider the matter of the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties." ”
Li Leng smiled and said lightly, "The hearts of the people are separated from each other, are you sure that the so-called main peace faction will really support the Han and Tang alliances, and the so-called main battle faction will really oppose the Han and Tang alliances? At this time, if you only go to visit the magnates of the lord and faction, are you not afraid of arousing the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the Han emperor? Do not forget that the lord and faction, mainly Cao Shen, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, strongly supported the accession of the crown prince of the Han Dynasty to the throne. ”
Cai Xiang and Shen Hao looked at each other, they really didn't take this into account, they always felt that they were envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and it was very normal to visit some bigwigs in the DPRK and China according to the foreign affairs process, and they didn't think about whether they would fall into a dispute for the heir.
"Your Highness, what should we do then?" asked Shen Hao carefully.
"As soon as the envoys of Great Qin and Ming arrived in Luoyang City, they strictly ordered their pavilions to refuse all visitors, and their envoys did not contact the magnates of Luoyang City. Li Leng poured another glass of wine and said lightly, "Like them, we ordered the pavilion to refuse all visitors, and at the same time, all members of the envoy group were not allowed to contact the magnates of Luoyang City. ”
"Then we ......" Cai Xiang originally wanted to say, if he didn't move around and contact the magnates of Luoyang City, what should he do if the Han and Tang Dynasty formed an alliance.
Li looked at it with a cold gaze, and said in a stern tone: "Master Cai, this is my decision, and you can implement it." ”
Cai Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The minister is ordered." ”
Li Leng nodded, his face softened a little, and said: "You guys go down first! In the past few days, I will be in retreat and cultivate, except for submitting the official letter of foreign affairs to the Honglu Temple of the Han Dynasty in accordance with the regulations on foreign affairs, other things will be said when I leave the customs, and you are not allowed to make decisions in private." ”
Li Leng guessed that Han Tianzi would not summon them so quickly.
The Tang Dynasty, the Great Qin and the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to the Han Dynasty at the same time, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a generation of male lords, should also see the situation clearly, analyze the purpose of each envoy to the Han Dynasty, and who will bring real benefits to the Han Dynasty.
And all of this takes time.
Li Leng just took advantage of the free time in the past few days to prepare to attack the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
With the Heavenly Demon Neidan, he has the capital and possibility to break through.
"Yes, Your Highness. Shen Hao and Cai Xiang bowed and left.
Shangguan Yun glanced at Li Leng deeply, didn't say anything, and left with Shen Hao and Cai Xiang.
After the three of them left, Li Leng closed the door tightly, preparing to attack the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm. He arranged a small formation in the room to collect qi and breath, which would not cause too much shock when he cultivated for a while.
Li Leng took out the Heavenly Demon Inner Pill from the storage bag, and relying only on the spiritual energy stored in the spiritual flesh was not enough for him to break through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
He had to absorb the demonic qi of the Heavenly Demon Neidan, turn the demonic qi into Yuan Force, and impact the realm barrier.
The "Nine Heavens Burial Immortal Sutra" also has a domineering and anti-heaven place, that is, no matter what kind of gas, it can be converted into pure yuan power, and it will not cause any harm to the body.
Generally speaking, gases such as demonic qi, demonic qi, and underworld qi are only suitable for the exercises and physique of demonic paths, demon paths, and underworld cultivators, and they are harmful and sequelae to monks of other races.
After the monks get the demon's inner pill, they have to use alchemy techniques to first refine the demon qi, and then refine it with elixir to make the elixir, and then dare to swallow it to impact the higher realm.
But Li Leng's cultivation of the "Nine Heavens Burial Immortal Sutra" is not so troublesome, there is no need to refine the demon qi, refine it into an inner pill to swallow, directly devour the demon qi in the inner pill, and transform it into an incomparably pure yuan force.
This saved him a lot of time.
As soon as Li Leng took out the Heavenly Demon Neidan, the little Pixiu in the storage bag also flew out and landed on the Neidan, looking at him motionless with blood-red eyes.
