Chapter 104: All eyes on you

Cai Xiang said: "After this rebellion, the national strength of the Han Empire will eventually be affected, and this may not be a good thing for us in the Tang Dynasty! The terrain in northern Xinjiang is complex and the situation is grim, and half of the reason is caused by the expansionary foreign strategy of the Han Empire. Now that the crown prince Liu Yi has ascended the throne, he will inevitably adjust his external strategy in a timely manner according to the changes in the national strength of the Han Empire, which will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the pressure on our Tang Dynasty in northern Xinjiang. ”

Li calmly listened to everyone's analysis and views on the future development of the Han and Tang Dynasties, most of which were in line with reality and fully demonstrated their talents and abilities, but he still felt that everyone had neglected one thing, or one person.

The crown prince Liu is ill, the current son of heaven in the Han Empire.

This is definitely a Ming Jun comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, perhaps, he is not as ambitious as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but his skill and forbearance are definitely above Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Han Empire is in the hands of Liu Aiji, and it won't take long for the national strength to become stronger. At that time, once the period of alliance between the Han and Tang dynasties has passed, it is an unknown problem whether the Han Empire's external strategy will be expansionary or contractionary.

The relationship between the vassal states is always based on interests. At present, the Tang Dynasty is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, so Liu Aiji and the Han Empire behind him will focus on the Tang Dynasty in dealing with foreign strategies. However, if the existence of the Tang Dynasty would seriously threaten the interests of the Han Empire, then Liu Ying would definitely adopt a series of strategies to suppress and attack the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Shen Hao and Cai Xiang may not be unaware of this, but the current situation is good, and the relationship between Han and Tang is in the honeymoon period, even if they see it, they will not think deeply about it.

"Let's go back to the hotel first!" Li Leng didn't say anything, things that should come will always come, this kind of royal power in the world, after all, is a kind of experience before his tribulation.

His goal is the heavens and all worlds, and the Nine Heavens Burial Immortal Land.

After returning to the hotel, Li Leng asked Shen Hao to still temporarily exercise his duties as the principal and handle all external affairs with full authority, and Cai Xiang fully cooperated with Shen Hao's implementation.

Bao Wei's cultivation has been abolished, but fortunately, his meridians have not been damaged. This point is nothing to Li Leng at all, but in one day, he healed Bao Wei's injuries and passed on Bao Bao's different set of exercises.

In just three days, Bao Wei completed the stage of introducing qi into the body and turning into pure yuan force, reaching the first level of qi refining realm. This was more than ten times faster than his previous cultivation speed, and it also showed that his potential was ten times greater than before.

This achievement made Bao Wei ecstatic, and he also saw Li Leng's power, admired Li Leng even more, and secretly swore that he would always be loyal to Li Leng in this life, and would never be double-minded.

Ten days later, the situation in the Han Dynasty was firmly controlled by the crown prince Liu Ai, and the princess Liu Huan of Pingyang, the imperial lieutenant Luo Zitong, and the kings of various places all strongly supported Liu Ai's accession to the throne.

On the tenth day, the crown prince Liu Yi had announced that the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Han Empire had officially ascended the throne as the son of heaven and earth and the emperor of the Han Dynasty under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites.

Liu Yi has ascended the throne as the emperor, and if he really fulfilled his promise, the first thing he did was to sign an alliance treaty with Li Leng, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. This treaty is very different from the previous treaties, one of which is that the Han Empire helped the Tang Dynasty recover thirty cities in northern Xinjiang free of charge, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.

Interestingly, the second thing Liu Ying has done is to depose Prime Minister Cao Shen and let him return to the fiefdom to be a happy waiter, not allowing the Cao family and Cao Shen to interfere in any affairs of the Han Empire, which is tantamount to comprehensively suppressing the Cao family and Cao Shen.

You must know that Prime Minister Cao Shen, and the Cao family behind him, were once hardcore supporters of the crown prince Liu Aiji, while Pingyang princesses Liu Huan and Luo Zitong were fiercely opposed to the crown prince Liu Aiji.

But in this incident, Cao Shen and the Cao family seemed to know that King Wu would rebel, and they shrank all the forces of the Cao family early to strengthen their defenses, regardless of the life or death of the palace and the royal family. If the Cao family had made a move at that time, then the emperor of Han might not have died in the hands of King Wu.

Liu Yi is no longer a fool, the Cao family and Cao Shen's move is to preserve their own strength, let the royal family fight, and wait until he and Wu Wangdou are both defeated, and then the Cao family comes forward to solve this rebellion, not only becoming the biggest hero, but also successfully suppressing the power of the Han royal family, making the Cao family the first family under the Han Empire.

Cao Shen's move was very subtle, and he also calculated the situation to death. It's a pity that others are not as good as the sky, and they didn't count Li Leng's outlier.

He didn't expect that Li Leng would take action and quell the rebellion at once, and also help Liu Ying stabilize the chaotic situation. He also didn't calculate that Princess Pingyang and Luo Zitong would finally fully support Liu Ai's accession to the throne. These two moves were miscalculated, which made Cao Shen and the Cao family lose the opportunity, and also made Liu Yi suspicious and precautionary.

Liu Yi already wanted to uproot the Cao family's power, but he was also aware of the Cao family's influence and influence in the Han Empire, and he had just ascended the throne, and the situation could not be said to be completely stable. Right now, he must stabilize his rule and the country, and wait for an opportunity to slowly clean up the Cao family in the future.

With this in mind, Liu Ai had allowed the Cao family to return to the fiefdom unharmed.

All major events have been decided, and Li Leng and others have also decided to return to the Tang Dynasty to surrender their lives to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Ying, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had personally sent Li Leng to Xuchang City and gave the Tang envoys and others the highest courtesy.

Another seven days later, the Canghai Giant Boat finally flew back to Chang'an City, and Li Leng and others completed the mission of envoying the Han this time.

Their return has stirred up a thousand waves.

Perhaps, when Li Leng first went to the Han Empire, not many people thought that Li Leng would complete this mission. They all felt that Li Leng's ability to save his life and return to Datang safely was already a very successful one. After coming back, if they didn't complete the mission, they would naturally be severely punished by Li Daoyuan, and they were also ready to see Li Leng's jokes.

However, they never expected that Li Leng completed the mission and completed it very beautifully and successfully.

At this moment, Li Leng became the most dazzling prince in Chang'an City and even in the entire Tang Empire.

Li Daoyuan had already received the report, to be honest, he didn't expect Li Leng to successfully complete this mission, and also said that the Han Empire sent troops to help the Tang Dynasty recover the thirty cities in northern Xinjiang.

This minimized Datang's losses, and also allowed Datang to successfully protect its national strength from damage after recovering thirty cities in northern Xinjiang.

It can be said that this is a great merit that has saved the lives of countless Tang people.
