The reason is not a secret. Instead, the reason is something that all the twelve nobles of the Dashi know. That is, before His Royal Highness Li Hong, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, went to the Dashi, the Anxi border of the Tang Dynasty was suddenly divided between two Increase the number of troops to 200,000 within a month!
And just three days after the Tang Empire sent 200,000 soldiers to the Anxi border of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness Li Hong, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, arrived at Aker City and entered the territory of Dashi.
Although the Great Eater Lord Aviye wanted to continue the war against the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to once again divert the conflicts between the twelve nobles in the country and the pressure on him.
But when the Tang Dynasty suddenly added 200,000 troops to Anxi, this war opinion was rarely mentioned in Dashi. Even Aviye no longer mentioned the plan of the Dashi Cavalry to continue expanding eastward.
Instead, it was because of the arrival of these two hundred thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness Li Hong, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, that the nobles and monarch Aviye of Dashi saw another possibility.
The nobles who wanted to overthrow Aviye began to hope to win over Li Hong and his 200,000 elite soldiers in Anxi to help them overthrow Aviye in one fell swoop.
Aviya, who desperately wanted to keep the throne and consolidate the royal power, also began to turn enemies into friends, hoping to win over Li Hong and the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Empire to help him suppress the nobles who opposed him in the country, thus making the country more powerful. The royal power of food is more stable and authoritarian.
Li Hong's arrival completely changed the undercurrent of the political situation in Dashi. It also made the already dangerous and turbulent situation even more bizarre and unpredictable.
The royal family and the nobility were like two ends of a scale. Before Li Hong arrived, although there were constant internal fights and assassinations, no matter what, no one of them was able to overturn the other in a short period of time. Down, suppress it completely.
But with the strong arrival of Li Hong with 200,000 elite soldiers from Anxi, he could instantly use his strength to break the balance of the struggle between two or three nobles in Dashi.
That's why Saleh remained surprisingly silent after Li Hong defeated them with two warships and devoured fifty warships. That's why Sultan abandoned the past grudges with Li Hong and wooed Li Hong regardless of the past grudges. So Li Hong Hong only ate in this restaurant so that other nobles could take the initiative to avoid him.
It also allowed the food-loving monarch Aviye to acquiesce in the royal treatment that no one else could receive except himself in this restaurant.
All this is due to the pressure and opportunities brought to Dashi by the 200,000 elite soldiers in the Anxi border area, which allowed them to see a powerful force that did not pose any threat to their regime, but could provide them with help. If they don't know how to use their strength, which is so powerful and poses no threat to the territory of Dashi, then Dashi will not be worthy of being able to erode most of Spain's territory at its peak.
"Li Hong is not stupid. Every time we see him doing something dangerous, we sweat for him and are frightened for him in the palace. That's because we don't see the strength he relies on. It is the same wherever it is, whether it is Anxi or in our country of the Tang Dynasty. But this time the movement was so big that after removing Anxi's original military strength, the Ministry of War asked for money after he decided to go to Dashi. In just two months, two hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were sent to the border area of Anxi. Even a blind man could see that nearly three hundred thousand elite soldiers The purpose of visiting Anxi is to build momentum for Li Hong's actions in Dashi and to increase his own weight. "Wu Mei lay lazily on the lounge chair, and the bright sunshine shined through the bright glass into the warm spring-like Penglai. Inside the palace.
Pei Wanying on the side was waiting carefully. Li Ye and Li Ye were one year older and had just been taken out to play by the palace maid.
Li Zhi stood by the desk with satisfaction, admiring the good calligraphy he had just written. In his ears, Princess Fangling's voice came: "You are the queen, so just let me, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, run around outside every day." A few days ago, I heard that he was in Jiannan Road, and before he could react, he ran to Lingnan Road. Just when he realized it, he said that he ran to the sea again. This... came to the palace today, why did he run away again? When I go to Dashi, what does he want to do? The prince of the Tang Dynasty doesn’t want to do anything anymore. He wants to be a hostage to Dashi and control the Tang Dynasty.”
"Who knows what he was thinking, he left a mess and ran away. The harvest of new species this year is not as good as last year. He immediately mobilized 200,000 people, and everyone in Hanjiacang started clamoring for grain. Anxi." Li Zhi threw away the brush. Every time he heard news about Li Hong, his artistic conception of writing would be completely destroyed in an instant.
"The bad harvest can't be blamed on Li Hong, right? It's a natural and man-made disaster. Who knew the drought would be like this this year? Sigh... Speaking of which, is it because Li Hong, the prince, doesn't do his job every day and angers God...? "In the middle of speaking, Princess Lanling looked at Li Zhi who put the tea cup heavily on the table, and immediately stopped talking.
Wu Mei lay on the recliner, glanced sideways at the emperor who was being driven to govern the country, and continued to say lazily: "There is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the harvest is not as good as last year, but this is the memorial just sent by Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Revenue today. It said that although the severe drought in Guanzhong reduced grain production, the grain harvest in Jiannan Road was 30% more than in previous years. "
"So what, even if it makes up for the reduction in grain production in Guanzhong this year due to drought, Li Hong's hundreds of thousands of troops in Anxi don't need food? It's not like they can't make ends meet!" Li Zhi said angrily. Now the queen is completely What has changed is that no matter whether Li Hong is right or wrong, he always defends the little bastard from the perspective of the prince.
"It's time to take out the grain in Hanjiacang and dry it. It's good to have new grain distributed and restocked. But what I'm wondering about is another thing. This Jiannan Road has been nothing like this for four or five years. After Li Hong went there this year, the food harvest immediately increased by 30%. Why?" Wu Mei asked calmly as if she was deliberately causing trouble for Li Zhi.
Needless to say, the reason for this is that Princess Fangling and her party controlled the entire Jiannan Road. After withholding all the grain, most of it was smuggled to Liuzhao, and then secretly changed hands or sold to Chenla was either used for other purposes, so naturally the court could not benefit from it, and even sometimes had to subsidize it.
Now that Jiannan Road has stabilized again and a new round of officialdom has begun, it is not surprising that food production has soared instantly.
"About Li Zhe, what do you mean, Queen?" Li Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Mei's mention of Princess Fangling of Jiannan Road to him. People were already dead, so what's the use of talking about it
The top priority now is how to deal with another unfilial son, Li Zhe, who seems to be imprisoned in the Palace of the British Prince in Chang'an City. He is jumping anxiously every day, wishing he could immediately grow wings under his ribs and fly to Anxi!
"You are the emperor. If the prince wants to go to the border, it's up to you to make the decision." Wu Mei glanced at Princess Lanling who winked repeatedly, but once again left the decision-making power to Li Zhi.
One Li Hong was enough for her, because Li Hong would have to be criticized by the emperor every day. If Li Zhe was added to the list, she, the queen, would have to swallow her anger and be scolded by the emperor every day.
Therefore, even if Li Zhe brought Princess Lanling as a lobbyist, hoping to persuade himself and Your Majesty to allow him to immediately go to Anxi to meet Li Hong, he could no longer agree. He still let Your Majesty make his own decision on this matter. Bar.
"Why didn't he come and tell me about this in person, and why he sent you to act as a lobbyist?" Li Zhi glanced at the queen with a dissatisfied smile, and asked Lan Ling in a deep voice.
"He must have the courage to tell you. Besides, after coming here several times, you didn't agree? Now Hong'er is in the enemy's country. If he makes trouble in Dashi and returns to Chang'an from Anxi... this... there is It's safer if Li Zhe is in Anxi, right? You and the queen can rest assured, right?" Lan Ling looked at Li Zhi's face that had become wrinkled at some point, and his dense beard also changed. He became a little sparse and said with some reluctance.
Li Zhi was silent, and even Wu Mei became silent. Neither Li Zhi nor Wu Mei was willing to make a decision on this matter.
Everyone knew that Li Zhe suddenly jumped out of bed in the morning, shouting that he was going to Anxi. He decided after receiving a letter from Li Hong.
But... everyone knows that Li Hong asked Li Zhe to leave for Anxi immediately. Although it was also for his own safety when he returned to Anxi, why did he have to worry about his own safety just because he returned to Anxi
Why should Li Zhe, a prince of the Tang Dynasty, greet and protect him when he returns to Anxi
Because their other prince, the sixth prince Li Xian, had been demoted to a commoner for many years.
Although Anxi is now Li Hong's confidant, as Wu Mei said, every time Li Hong seems to be in danger, he has actually made all the careful arrangements and plans.
This time is no exception. Li Hong naturally adheres to the idea of not being afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, and still hopes that Li Zhe can guard Anxi.
After all, when Anxi welcomes Li Hong back, if there are still Dashi's pursuers behind him, even a commoner like Li Xian is not sure what he can do to affect the overall situation.
But if there is another prince to restrain and suppress Li Xian, then when Li Hong returns to Anxi, even if there are Dashi's pursuers behind him, Li Hong will naturally be able to enter Anxi calmly and then resist the attack. They can even fight a beautiful counterattack by chasing troops outside the city.
Therefore, neither Li Zhi nor Wu Mei could fully understand Li Hong's plan, but they could guess Li Hong's intention of sending Li Zhe to Anxi without even thinking about it.
