The totalitarianism of the Umayyad Dynasty was relative, and the power of the caliphate was far from reaching an absolute dictatorship like the autocracy of the Tang emperor.
Its power was largely constrained by the governors of the provinces and the council of Arab tribal elders.
The Umayyad Arab Empire was essentially a relatively loose political union composed of many tribes, ethnic groups, religious and class groups, and the caliph was just the common leader of these groups.
In the history of the Umayyad Dynasty for more than a hundred years, although the entire country had religious beliefs and other things that were used to gather people's hearts, in the upper-level society and the competition for upper-level power, the overt and covert struggles between them became Never stopped.
The legitimacy of the caliphs has always been controversial in their successive dynasty changes or in the struggles of their domestic groups.
Just like Sudan's Hashemite family and Saleh's Umayyad family, they all have close ties in one way or another with the previous or previous caliph. As their families grow, the caliph's Legitimacy has caused vacillations and disputes among these big families.
Every group family that wants to control this country, together with the power groups behind them, begins to criticize the Umayyad family, criticizing them as not being orthodox, but they are the drama of orthodoxy.
Facing Li Hong's eyes full of meaning, Saleh stood up. It was not clear what he was thinking about writing in his deep eyes. He just looked at Li Hong quietly for a while, and Saleh said He slowly sat down in his seat.
No matter what, he saw the smell of cooperation and conspiracy in Li Hong's eyes. This strong hint in his eyes made Saleh unable to shift his attention from the Tang Dynasty to the Hashemite family in Sudan. body.
With the help of Li Hong, a powerful partner from the east, the Umayyad family might be able to achieve even more unexpected results in their struggle with the Hashemite family.
After all, in Dashi, the Umayyad family was "alone". Facing several families that coveted their ruling rights, their own family also urgently needed a strong partner to help them stabilize their political power and Clear out enemies.
What's more, although this person hates him, it is very likely that the marriage between Datang and Dashi will happen because of his sister, so...
Saleh's plan became clearer at this time. As for the war between the two countries in Anxi, once it involves the interests of the stable royal power of the family, it becomes not worth mentioning.
It was even more difficult for the Sultan to face Li Hong's words at this time. Now, he felt as if he had been stripped naked and stood naked in front of the court, without any sense of security.
So at the next court banquet, the Sultan began to sit there without saying a word, paying no attention to anyone, not even Saleh's conversation.
Only when Li Hong came over with a smile and a wine glass, the Sultan reluctantly stood up, but Li Hong obviously didn't take him seriously, or it was to make him look worse in the court today and make him feel more depressed.
So he drank wine with Saleh in a very "friendly" manner, and ignored Sultan who stood up. This made Sultan instantly feel insulted, and his whole face turned red, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only snort coldly and sit down with his head down.
Today, Li Zhi and Wu Mei enjoy an even greater glory than when their late emperor Li Shimin was worshiped as the Khan of Heaven. The honorific titles of Emperor and Queen were repeatedly spoken out with respect by envoys from various countries, and were repeatedly praised by envoys from various countries. The officials of the Tang Dynasty congratulated respectfully.
This made Li Zhi always beautiful from ear to ear, and Wu Mei was also satisfied. Accompanying Li Zhi, the two of them enjoyed the same royal prestige as Tianqi.
But it has to be said that both of them have seen big scenes, especially Wu Mei. At this time, she did not become arrogant. Instead, she had the opportunity to whisper a few words to Li Zhi: "All of this today, if it weren't for Li Zhi, Hong, I’m afraid that neither I nor you can enjoy this supreme glory, right?”
"I'll meditate when I get back! By the way, where are the others?" Li Zhi happily drank another glass, holding the cup, looking at the crowd in the hall, thinking about his latest dance music, but he couldn't see the prince Li Hong. The figure made him want to praise Li Hong in front of everyone, but he couldn't find the chance.
"Yes, where is Li Hong?" The amber wine looks extremely charming in the crystal cup, and the light aroma of the wine is even more refreshing.
Wu Mei was holding the wine glass and looking around, but she didn't know why Li Hong, who had just accompanied them to receive congratulations from ministers and envoys from various countries, was no longer there in the blink of an eye.
Ever since the dance music of Tang Dynasty's state banquet started playing, Ye Yue had not been focusing on the delicacies on the table in front of her. Instead, her attention had been on Li Hong, and her beautiful eyes were always paying attention to Li Hong's every move. .
So when the Emperor and Queen of the Tang Dynasty were looking for Li Hong everywhere, her eyes were always firmly locked on Li Hong and her brother Wang.
Saleh's face was extremely red, and even his beard was stained with some wine stains, but even so, his red eyes were still staring at the Tang Prince in front of him.
The Prince of the Tang Dynasty's face was not looking good at this time. Ever since Yeyue told Saleh that the last time he had a drink with the Prince of the Tang Dynasty in Luoyang, Li Hong was suspected of cheating and cheating. Saleh could not say anything this time. To get a win back.
And he has personally verified every jar of wine, so the wine the two of them are drinking now cannot be faked.
Watching Li Hong raise his head and drink it all, Saleh's eyes were red, and he picked up the wine jar and poured it for the two of them again. Glass wine bottles had already appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but Saleh felt that one bottle was not enough.
Seeing his unwillingness to admit defeat and seeking death, Li Hong naturally followed him to the end. What's more, he came here in person just to convince Saleh.
So after the two of them drank the jar of wine like beasts, with red eyes and faces, and couldn't help but hiccup from the wine, Ye Yue finally walked up to her in a dress with a custom of eating.
"Hey, you're sincere, aren't you?" Yeyue glanced at Li Hong angrily, and then helplessly looked at Brother Wang, who was not up to par with him. He didn't have a long memory after being fooled once, and he still had to compete with others for drinks.
Li Hong chuckled and turned around to look at the nondescript jade hairpin stuck on Yeyue's head. His beautiful and delicate face was covered with frost. Then he didn't care about other people's eyes, especially the Sultan who wanted to kill someone. With his eyes in front of Saleh, he put his arms around Yeyue's shoulders and said: "He is not convinced and said that I cheated last time, so this time I must convince him and let him know that Datang's wine is better than theirs." The wine is delicious, strong, and a man’s drink.”
"It's not certain who will lose and who will win. You missed a few drinks last time, but I admit that your Tang Dynasty wine... wine is strong, but our food wine is not bad either! I brought a few jars here, you Do you dare to let your ceremonial supervisor bring it in?" Saleh frowned, his face flushed, and his deep eyes looked at Li Hong's arms around his sister, and suddenly felt... The most beautiful woman in Dashi is like this. Got fucked by... the pig of Datang!
"Is it just the wine for your big meal? Don't bring it out to be embarrassed. Drink it until there is no taste in your mouth. Only Yeyue is suitable to drink it. Men, you should drink wine like my Datang."
"You don't dare!"
"Who says I don't dare?"
"Then let's try to compete?"
"A competition is a competition."
"But your ceremonial supervisors and the palace guards didn't let us bring anything in. They confiscated everything when we entered the palace. Can you come over?" Saleh looked at Li provocatively. Hong ignored Yeyue's frown and wanted to kick his foot, and continued: "They seem to be very selfless. You, the prince, can you do that?"
"If you are looking for death, I will help you. The method of provoking generals is useless. Where is Hua Meng... Ye Yue... it hurts! Who... Oh, over here, you... go to the ceremonial supervisor and bring the wine, bring the wine from Dashi, Some people are not convinced..." Li Hong burped while Ye Yue pinched the flesh of his waist covertly, and he spoke as if he was about to drink too much.
Li Hong's behavior made Saleh think that the Prince of the Tang Dynasty was about to drink too much. He would definitely make a fool of himself in full view of Hanyuan Hall soon, so Saleh became even more excited. .
Recalling the time when he made a fool of himself in Luoyang Palace and vomited all over the floor, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Yeyue originally came to dissuade the two of them, but unexpectedly, now the two of them were talking cordially like close friends they hadn't seen for many years.
After Li Hong pulled her to sit next to him, he talked cordially with Saleh. Although the two of them stumbled over each other, even a normal person, Ye Yue, couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
But looking at the serious and focused expressions of the two of them, it seemed as if the other party understood every stumbling and unclear word they said to each other.
The Sultan on the side was drinking alone, but his seat had been kicked far away by Li Hong. As long as the Sultan watched Li Hong's hands climb up Yeyue's soft and charming waist, which made him think about it day and night, he He would just groan in anger.
So as soon as he snorted, Li Hong would stretch out his foot and kick him. As a result, the distance between him and Li Hong became farther and farther, and the dark face and Prince Ojin next to him were almost touching each other.
"Forget it, drink too much, don't argue with an alcoholic." Prince Otsu drank the wine and found it too unpleasant, so he changed it to juice.
At this moment, he was watching all this silently, feeling in his heart... his imperial sister... had he found the wrong person
The imperial sister is so beautiful, elegant, and intelligent. She is the most beautiful flower in the royal family in the Japanese country, but she was surpassed by this pig...!
After the news of the emperor's sister's pregnancy spread in the Japanese country, many men in the family who admired him cried alone to the moon at night for several nights.
