If King Wuzhao could come to Taihe City, he would definitely not be able to come alone. He would definitely bring warriors from his own tribe to Taihe City in groups.
Even if they are not on guard against Li Hong's possible ill will towards them, they still have to be on guard against whether Xi Nuluo, who has always been known for his insidiousness and cunning, may attack them on their way here or on their way back. Killer.
So at this moment, Li Hong and Liu Yanyou looked outside the city and could clearly see the tribal warriors brought by Wuzhao. They were clearly distributed in a flat area outside the city. One tribe after another camped there, just like the five Olympic rings. of arranged.
"Looking at the number of people, even the five imperial edicts combined are only about a thousand or ten people." Liu Yanyou put down the telescope, feeling somewhat reassured about the safety of His Royal Highness in Taihe City after tomorrow's return trip.
"These people are wary of each other, but they cooperate with each other. It is said that after arriving last night, they held a bonfire banquet outside the city, and in the next evening, they will also be here, at the highest place in Taihe City, in front of their Cuan clan's ancestral hall , hold a bonfire banquet." Li Hong handed the telescope to Liu Yanyou and said calmly.
Liu Yanyou glanced at the building behind him that had the shadow of the Tang Dynasty's ancestral hall, then thought for a while and said, "You mean to ask me to pretend to be deaf and mute tonight?"
"Yes, it is not a secret in Liuzhao that Xinuluo has a good relationship with King Zhenla. You should also know it, and King Zhenla's three sons are now in my hands. Xinuluo wants to please King Zhenla, If you join forces with King Zhenla to resist me, then you have to steal King Zhenla's three sons quietly and return them to them before I can accuse King Zhenla, so that I can't accuse King Zhenla." Li Hong smiled with his hands behind his back. He smiled and at the same time glanced at the Cuan clan’s ancestral hall behind him.
Even he could not enter this place at will without permission from the local priests, so Li Hong just stood in front of the ancestral hall and used his actions to express his respect to the people of the Cuan tribe and King Liuzhao.
He believed that when he and Liu Yanyou arrived here, they would soon be known by King Liuzhao in the palace, and his choice to stand in front of the ancestral hall instead of entering their ancestral hall at will was also a clear signal of goodwill to them. Tell Liu Zhao without any doubt: If there is a fight, just argue, I will make the decision for you when the time comes.
Liu Yanyou understood Li Hong's long talk today, and he was no longer as optimistic about the situation of the Tang Dynasty. As for the pressure Li Hong was facing, he began to become clearer from ignorance, and he also understood that the prince Your Highness, in addition to the support of Your Majesty and the Queen, the most important thing that has allowed you to thrive in the court these years is your Highness's foresight and pioneering innovation.
Xinuluo was the first king to enter the main hall of the Taihe City Palace after Li Hong moved in. He was also the first to bring a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and beauties into the main hall before leaving. King Zhao.
Although Xinuluo did not receive any clear support in his conversation with Li Hong, he also did not hear any clear opposition.
The two of them were tacitly conducting a congratulatory meeting between the imperial power and the local power. As for why Jiannan Road has not delivered the last batch of grain to Xinuluo for so long, Xinuluo It was also tacitly not mentioned a word.
No matter which king came to Li Hong's palace to meet Li Hong, he brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures, jade agate, and naturally, beauties wearing different costumes from the Tang Dynasty also filled the entire palace.
At least two beauties were presented to Li Hongjin at one time, and at most there were more than a dozen beauties aged fifteen or sixteen years old.
This made Li Hong's trip to Nanzhao a huge benefit from the beginning. Whether it was gold and silver treasures of different styles or exotic beauties, for an imperial power who came to Nanzhao, these were all It is an absolute weapon that can prevent the imperial power from reforming the Liuzhao.
When facing these sugar-coated bullets, the imperial power had to think about whether the respectful and humble attitude of King Liuzhao symbolized their unconditional surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Yanyou was also joked by Li Hong: "Are you unable to open up the situation in Lingnan Road just because of these sugar-coated bullets?"
But in any case, giving to please is a unique product of local power, and it is also a very unique and tempting product. No matter which dynasty it is in, whether it is the previous life or this life, beauties and money can often hinder the imperial power. Sugar-coated bullets.
Looking at a room full of gold, silver, treasures and beauties, Li Hong could only smile bitterly at this moment.
Of course he can accept gold and silver treasures without any pressure. The whole world belongs to him, let alone these gold and silver treasures
But for these twenty or thirty beauties, he didn't dare to accept them casually. If he dared to accept them, he didn't know what kind of "bloody" father and mother he would face when he returned to Chang'an. "Wind", I don't know why I was ridiculed by Pei Wanying and others.
Although Pei Wanying and the others have no objections to Yeyue and Princess Dalai, if she dares to bring these twenty or thirty people back to the East Palace, with Bai Chun's temper and Pei Wanying's wonderful rejuvenation, these innocent girls may not survive. At the age of twenty, they all have to meet the King of Hell.
Whether it is Pei Wanying's current gentleness and generosity, Bai Chun's indifference, or An Xiaohe's heartlessness, or Chen Qinghan's gracefulness and gentleness, those qualities that Li Hong can see are among the inner circle of several women. characteristics, but now once an outsider wants to enter this circle again, it is not that easy.
In particular, these people have always looked up to Bai Chun, and Bai Chun also holds an extremely superb power like Jingwei in his hands. Any domineering woman who wants to break into this circle, or do anything to anyone in this circle, Threats or attacks will cost you a lot.
Li Hong didn't know anything about this at first, but when mother and son chatted in Wu Mei's palace in the Daming Palace, Wu Mei suddenly and inexplicably mentioned Yang Yu, Yang Sijian's daughter, intentionally or unintentionally. .
It was also from that moment that Li Hong learned that Yang Sijian's daughter had been spreading rumors about Pei Wanying in Chang'an City after Pei Wanying entered the East Palace. Moreover, these slanderous rumors were even touched by Crown Princess Pei Wanying and her sister-in-law. Upright.
Therefore, less than half a month after the rumors were circulated in Chang'an City, they suddenly disappeared inexplicably. What followed was that Yang Sijian's daughter suddenly became insane overnight. No matter how many doctors and warlocks Yang Sijian hired, It was all to no avail, and finally a month later, Yang Yu was found dead next to a pavilion in Qujiang Pool.
And that pavilion was the pavilion where she and Pei Wanying once visited Qujiang Pool together and drove away other tourists to rest.
While Li Hong touched his nose and expressed that he was unclear about the whole story, Long Ma made a conclusion for the women: None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, let alone a sister-in-law who protects your women everywhere. Let it go, let it go. Yang Sijian has been at home for so long, so he has to use it.
Jingwei's carrier pigeon was released by Hua Meng, and Li Hong held Jingwei's secret letter in his hand. This time it was not Bai Chun's secret letter, but from Long Ma. The letter did not mention other things in Chang'an, but Tell Li Hong: Yang Sijian has been sent to Nanzhao by her, and he will be appointed as appropriate.
Discretionary appointment? Surrounded by the Liuzhao kings, under the tedious and solemn ceremony, and with the sound of gongs and drums, Li Hong shuttled through the streets of Taihe City to the ancestral hall of the Cuan people, preparing for the bonfire dinner. Repeat these four words.
Regardless of his ambition, Li Hongqiang could be dissatisfied, but he had to obey his dragon mother!
Historically, he was able to reuse his granddaughter after killing Shangguan Yi, and finally left another colorful female official in Chinese history: Shangguan Wan'er.
Only my dragon mother can do this kind of thing, and she does it so naturally!
Her "comrades" "intentionally or unintentionally" forced Yang Yu to death, and now Long Ma has teamed up with those like-minded "comrades" to let her use Yang Sijian as appropriate? Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world? Li Hong doesn’t know!
But she had to obey Long Ma's will, not to mention that Long Ma was also keenly aware that she had inexplicably fallen into a situation where no one could help her in Nanzhao. Maybe she had no choice but to release Yang Sijian, right
Now Shangguan Yi and Guan Wan'er are fine and out of the traces of history, but... Yang Sijian and Yang Yu seem to be walking upside down among historical sites.
In the vast open space at the ancestral hall, bright torches illuminated the open space as bright as day, and brought Li Hong's thoughts back to reality. The huge bonfire in the middle was like a hill, but it had not been completely lit yet.
The surrounding area was already surrounded by a sea of people. Of course, there were too few civilians to be found here. Most of them were nobles of Liuzhao or wealthy businessmen from the land of Liuzhao.
The torches on the outside crackled with the rosin on the torches, and the young women wore grand clothes. When Li Hong approached, they began a welcoming ceremony with singing and dancing.
The loud sound of the drums makes people's eardrums hurt. This is to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods and to scare away the mountain ghosts, lest the mountain ghosts disturb the leisure time of His Royal Highness.
The cow ghosts and snake gods appeared again, with ghost-like patterns either painted on their faces or painted on their naked and strong upper bodies. People pretending to be ghosts and gods with straw around their lower bodies used the most solemn ceremony to pay homage to Li Hong, the successor of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. With unique respect etiquette.
The seven tables at the top are arranged side by side, with the third Zhao Wang on the left and the third Zhao Wang on the right. Li Hong naturally sits in the middle, but for someone who doesn’t know much about Liu Zhao’s folk customs, he is like a puppet at this moment. Wang Yinqin introduced how to do it.
