Li Zhong sat down in the middle of the thatched cottage and began to demonstrate the elegant tea art of the Tang Dynasty to Ashinu with his own hands. As the teapot in his hand steamed on the small stove, cups of fragrant tea were also filled with him. It was soaked out elegantly and skillfully.
Ashinu followed Li Zhong's example, sat across from him, picked up a cup of tea, and asked blankly: "The Shangshu Ling in charge of the Shangshu Province? Isn't this position to avoid being tabooed by the late Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and no longer allowed to be held by others? ? Why give it to Li Hong?”
"Li Hong has great ambitions and lofty aspirations. He wants to surpass the late emperor and the great achievements of the emperor! No one can say clearly whether he can get this position, but at least judging from the current situation, at least he is now He has a 60% certainty in his hand, so he must get enough say in the military power! In the business of the Tang Dynasty, all new things were created by Li Hong alone, and he has surpassed him in this aspect. The late emperor, but he has not made any achievements in terms of military power. If he is interested in Shangshu Ling, then adding some military achievements to himself in the ever-vacillating Western Region is naturally the first choice. "
Like Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period, Li Hong took out a goose feather fan, patted his chest gently, and continued confidently: "My father appointed the Minister of Household Affairs when he was ten years old. This was something that no previous emperor had ever done. From this situation, it is enough to predict that if he only wins one war in the Western Region, then the position of Shangshu Ling will probably be in his pocket. "
Ashinu was not interested in these things. What he was interested in was how to prevent Li Hong from temporarily canceling his journey to the west. After all, he was now a Tibetan secret agent, but he was here for Tibet's big move next year.
Now if Li Hong wants to go to the Western Regions, then Tubo will naturally have to work harder if he wants to carry out some actions in Anxi. This is not a good thing for him who is determined to restore his country.
Although he wanted to take revenge, the feeling of being dependent on others made him even more uncomfortable. If he could restore the country first and then take revenge himself, wouldn't it be more fulfilling and satisfying
What's more, by that time, I can just like Jie Li back then, lead hundreds of thousands of elite troops to the Wei River, and avenge the humiliation I suffered back then!
"Then can we prevent him from going to the Western Regions this year? Although his going to Anxi will not have any impact on Tubo, if the Tang Dynasty has too many soldiers in Anxi, Tubo will become timid." Ashinu thought in his heart. Based on his own little calculation, he hoped to use his own strength to wash away the shame of the past, rather than rely on today's Tubo.
Li Zhong smiled naively and shook his head: "Li Hong has always taken one step and looked at three. This is also the trajectory I only discovered when I recently studied the chess he created. Don't look at Li Hong's dissatisfaction with just fourteen. At the age of fifteen, if he has made up his mind, it may be difficult for anyone to change it.”
Seeing Ashinu's disbelieving expression, Li Zhong warned: "Even His Majesty and the Queen will find it difficult to change his important decision."
Ashinu then faced Li Zhong's words seriously and continued to ask: "How is Helan Minzhi? Can he stop Li Hong? It is said that in Chang'an City and in the palace, in addition to His Majesty, the Queen, and the Crown Prince, Helan Minzhi Even the other princes don't care, can you find help? "
"A dying man, what else do you expect him to be able to do to help you? Just take care of yourself. With these thoughts, why not go back now and think about how to deal with Li Hong in Anxi, or... it would be good to ambush him as soon as he leaves Yumen Pass. Seeing off guests." Li Zhong obviously didn't want to say more. It would be useless to talk to such a person with selfish thoughts.
Gao Junya did not follow Di Renjie to the East Palace this time, because he also saw that Li Hong admired Di Renjie as a person, not himself.
What's more, the removal of Dai Zhide was still fresh in the East Palace Assembly Hall two days ago. At this time, Gao Junya felt that it was better not to get into trouble with the prince.
In addition, this case is so difficult, it is not impossible for His Royal Highness to remove himself if he becomes unhappy.
Di Renjie's arrival still surprised Li Hong, because the time was too short. He felt that it would take three to five days to find out the private minting of new money.
After all, he was facing Changlefang, which had many obstacles. Everyone there was like a nouveau riche. Because of his mother and queen, he no longer cared about anyone's existence.
Mrs. Rong Guo, in particular, almost regarded herself as a queen mother. She had always been most proud of He Lan Minzhi's doting and dirty things.
Moreover, she very much hopes that Li Zhi can make Wu Shun or Helan Minyue his queen, one emperor and two queens, and two phoenixes serve as saints. This is what she looks forward to most. Moreover, they are all children of her Wu family. At that time, wouldn't He Lan Minzhi be more flattering to her
In this way, her status in the Tang Dynasty will become more transcendent, and she will not occasionally have to look at Wu Mei's face now. With Wu Shun's restraint, won't Wu Mei's weight as a queen be much lighter
"What's the use of telling me this? What you want to do now is to ask your sister or your mother to please His Majesty, and force Your Majesty to make your mother or your sister the queen. By then, you will also be a prince. How can you still What are you afraid of what Li Hong will do?" The old Mrs. Rong Guo, Mrs. Yang, was lying on a recliner, her skinny hands caressing He Lan Minzhi's cheek, as if she were caressing a peerless treasure.
"My mother and sister can't help me now, right? Your Majesty is in Luoyang with the Queen, and Li Hong is now supervising the country. He now holds the power of life and death? What if someone comes to arrest me again? What can they do? They have no name and no status. By then, I'm afraid you will never see me again. It's already known to everyone that Li Hong wanted to kill me. He cheated me of five thousand taels of silver a few days ago. Do you think he will let me go?" Helan Minzhi also stretched out a hand, caressed Rong Guoru's skinny cheek, and said coquettishly.
"Sigh... I have told your mother and sister so many times that serving the emperor is not a woman's business, so what if Wu Mei takes care of it? Or they are not living up to expectations, and Wu Mei climbed up like this again. As queens, the two of them only know how to be coaxed around by His Majesty. They are satisfied with the title of Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Wei. Why didn't you tell them and let Your Majesty quickly think about it? It's better now, the matter is over. The end is imminent, and you still want me to step in," Mrs. Rong Guo said angrily.
Li Hong had always been at odds with her. He just wanted to say hello to her when she was a child. He usually didn't even come and hid as far as he could. On his birthday, he went to Taiyi City to play. You are pretending to be okay, but in fact you just don't want to get close to yourself.
"Where is Minyue now?" Mrs. Rongguo asked, unable to withstand Helan Minzhi's persuasion.
"In the house." He Lan Minzhi replied obediently.
"Sigh... It would be great if you were a prince. If your mother was also a queen, even with my charming and handsome face, I, Minzhi, would be a hundred times better than Li Hong as the prince. I will support our Minzhi as the prince no matter what! Just like how I worked as a lobbyist in the family of Changsun and Zhu Suiliang for the sake of Wu Mei, and persuaded His Majesty to make you the crown prince."
Mrs. Rongguo had already had this intention in her heart, and asked Wu Shun and Wu Mei to serve Li Zhi together. She was able to have such an idea because of the rich experience she accumulated when she was trying to help Wu Mei fight for the queen. From beginning to end, I believed that Wu Mei became the empress of Tang Mu Yi Tian Xia entirely because of his contribution to persuading and seeking support for her outside the palace.
"Oh, stop talking about those useless things now, and think about how to save me first? That Di Mazi is said to be selfless and always ignores the powerful. If I are caught, I will really have a narrow escape. I don't want to do it again. Caught in jail." He Lan Minzhi buried his head in Mrs. Rong Guo's chest and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay, my Jun Minzhi. Have you hidden all your new money? Go and call Minyue over. If Di Mazi comes, let her resist for a while. If not, I will come forward for you again. Also, please quickly ask your mother to write a letter to your Majesty and ask him to stop Li Hong. Although Your Majesty is not here, it will still be useful if Your Majesty says something. Tell your majesty in the letter to threaten Li Hong with the excuse of deposing the prince," Mrs. Rong Guo arranged confidently.
Helan Minzhi stood up from Mrs. Rongguo's arms. At this time, he had no idea and was now in a panic.
He knows better than anyone else that if he is targeted by Li Hong, his consequences will probably be even more miserable than last time. Li Hong has always disliked him.
Back then, he sent a maid to take Xu Yanbo away from him. The incident in Cuiwei Palace is even more of a nightmare for me.
Therefore, now that he is being targeted by Li Hong and Dali Temple again, Helan Minzhi has long been out of control. Now he only knows how to hide in Changlefang and not go out. In the huge Chang'an City, I am afraid that only Changlefang is interested in him at this moment. Words are safe.
After quickly coming out of Mrs. Rongguo's place, Helan Minzhi thought as he walked, if his mother really became the queen, could he really become the prince
If he becomes the prince... no, even if he is the prince, with his mother, sister, and Mrs. Rong Guo supporting him, wouldn't he be able to pull Li Hong from the position of prince
Thinking of this, Helan Minzhi seemed to find that the road under his feet suddenly became wider, and he might very well become the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
But now, he is just one step away from becoming the crown prince who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Yes, I must convince my mother no matter what, and fight at all costs to win the position of queen.
