All signs indicate that once Li Hong returns to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it will be time for Li Hong to inherit the throne, and by then, no one will be able to stop Li Hong from ascending the throne.
Even if the most unlikely thing happens, His Majesty Li Zhi is unwilling to abdicate. I believe Li Hong will use various methods to force his father to abdicate.
What's more, there are still two people who are eager to get to the Zen position and the other one doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get there.
Therefore, the throne of the Tang Dynasty now belongs entirely to Li Hong. It just depends on whether he is willing to officially become the emperor of the empire after going through those long and complicated ceremonies.
All the Taoist, prefecture, and Duhufu offices in the Tang Dynasty have been brought back to order by Li Hong. The ministers above the court are still ministers under Li Zhi's rule. There are very few of them. Even if there are, they are just insignificant positions in the Fifth Supervisor of the Nine Temples. His position basically had no influence on the Tang court.
Even the most difficult Jiannan Road has been under re-administration for more than a year and is showing a new look after reform. Tubo and even Zhenla, which the Liuzhao are also following in an orderly manner, have now cracked their war elephants' tactics because of Tang's strong soldiers and horses, coupled with powerful firearms that no one can defeat. Now they are quickly attacking them The capital of Zhenla was advanced, and Zhenla was unable to fight back. Even if he wanted to cease the war, the generals of the Tang Dynasty forced him to stop unilaterally.
The only Dashi that can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, now because of Li Hong's arrival, the domestic situation is rapidly moving from turmoil to complicated chaos. I believe that in the near future, when Li Hong returns from Dashi, At that time, Dashi will become a country that is struggling to survive, unable to conquer the east, or even torn apart and fighting among the princes.
All the overall situation is developing in the direction that is most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. So the only prince who competed with Li Hong for the throne happened to be on the main road for the future emperor to return to the capital of Chang'an. What will be his fate? ? Whether he can still enjoy a peaceful life as a commoner or whether there is no news at all, no one knows the answer.
Once Wu Mei and Li Zhi thought of this, they could only sigh deep in their hearts. The word "resign yourself to fate" seems to be what they are thinking now. After all, the future prince has fully grown up and matured, and the fate of the sixth prince is no longer under their control.
Li Hong's treatment in Dashi was definitely rare. While adopting a wait-and-see attitude towards the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the twelve nobles all began to communicate secretly in private. The surrounding areas of the Tang House were filled with people who were moved by Li Hong. In the first dark night after the incident, there were many more pairs of monitoring eyes.
Yu Tuqi and two hundred personal guards seemed to have fought a big battle overnight. No one dared to sleep a wink all night, and even went to the toilet quickly and returned quickly.
The powerful crossbow hiding in the dark was not removed from the string all night. Even though Li Hong sent Hua Meng to tell Yu Tuqi that there was no need to be so nervous, it did not ease Yu Tuqi's caution and vigilance.
To Li Hong's surprise, after he had just perfected it the next morning, Zaiwei Tuqi was about to complain to him. With a force of two hundred people and the fine guards in the Tang Tower, it would be difficult to make the Tang Tower foolproof and perfect. When the city was impregnable, Turge, the city guard of Dashi, brought an order from Aviye, the current monarch of Dashi, allowing the three thousand cavalry of the Tang Dynasty stationed outside the city of Dashi to enter the capital of Dashi and move into the Tang Tower. Inside.
I originally thought that only after entering the Palace of Food today, at the meeting banquet with Aviye, in order to show his goodwill, Aviye would personally announce this order in front of him, but he did not expect that Aviye would The order was announced in advance. Could it be that something happened among the food nobles last night
Although Tanglou is composed of Jingwei, it is still run by real businessmen on weekdays. Its ability to obtain information and the level of acceptance are still somewhat inadequate. It is difficult to say that it has truly reached the level of a big food aristocrat.
The appearance of Fang Zhan and Hengqiao was also due to their own arrival, so they arrived in Dashi in advance. Therefore, Jingwei cannot handle matters between Dashi nobles in a short time. Immediately after the incident, he knew exactly what happened among the Dashi nobles.
Therefore, Li Hong, who was new to Dashi, after receiving the order of permission from King Aviye of Dashi, besides being a little weird, he felt like a blind man, his eyes were all black, and he felt like nothing was happening to him. The uneasy feeling of being in control.
But no matter what, Aviya allowed three thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to enter the tenement building. No matter from which perspective, it can be interpreted as nothing but goodwill.
Yu Tuqi couldn't wait to get Li Hong's order and left to look for Lawless outside the city. He had had enough last night. He had never been as nervous as last night and felt that there was not enough manpower.
Those sneaky eyes in the dark, although I don’t know whether they are well-intentioned or malicious, but it is simply too difficult for a mere two hundred of them to completely protect the tenement building, and even in the middle of the night, he had no choice but to Not because of the still "lively" shadow activities outside the tenement building, he decisively narrowed the scope of protection, gave up guarding the periphery of the tenement building and the small courtyard, and was only responsible for guarding the manor where His Highness was located.
During the day, Li Hong did not move around. In addition, he was going to the Dashi Palace in the afternoon. Naturally, many things still needed to be prepared, including giving gifts to their king Aviye and others, as well as his own documents and envoy documents. , including how much you can bring into the Food Palace, these all need to be considered.
Going to the palace of Dashi to meet their king, Li Hong naturally represented the image of the Tang Dynasty. This time he looked more solemn than ever, completely different from his usual style.
And because he arrived in Dashi, his father and mother, especially the father, were still worried about whether Li Hong, a prince with poor etiquette, would disgrace the Tang Dynasty in Dashi.
Fortunately, Li Hong was not a fool, and he also knew that this trip was of great importance. While carefully preparing everything to go to the palace, Hua Meng and Cheetah were busy, and from time to time they would bring some letters requesting an audience from the food nobles and hand them over. Li Hong's hands.
In the letters from these nobles, it was obvious that they all knew that he would go to the palace today, so they had no hope of having a detailed discussion with him today. Several dozen people, including the Kordo family, the Khawalij family, and the Hashim family, The most powerful of the two nobles has scheduled his time for tomorrow.
Among the other nobles, there must be nobles who are on the same front as the Dashi royal family. Naturally, in order to ruin Li Hong's meeting with the three major families, they also agreed to meet with him tomorrow. In short, except for the royal family and nobles, the other eleven The invitations from the nobles to meet were all concentrated on the day after tomorrow, and no family chose the day after tomorrow.
After the three thousand people from the Futu Camp were placed in the tenement building, the originally empty tenement building suddenly seemed a bit crowded, but it also gave Yutuqi finally a piece of reassurance, and he could finally calmly deploy the tenement building. The manor where His Highness lives.
Gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain, bright glass, fragrant perfume, endless aftertaste of tea and other traditional items of the Tang Dynasty, even embroidery, etc., were all prepared by Li Hong and sent to the palace of Dashi. .
Naturally, one of this long list of gifts was sent back to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to comfort his father Long, who was afraid that he would be embarrassed.
The palace of Dashi is far less magnificent than the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally it is not as elegant and majestic as the Luoyang Palace in Luoyang. However, in its traditional architectural style, it also has the unique solemnity and heaviness of the Dashi people. Most of the palaces built with stone materials are not as exquisite and gorgeous in appearance as the Tang Dynasty Palace, but your rough style also has unique delicacy and beauty.
Gold is the absolute symbol of Dashi's power. Compared with the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, which loves more rare jade, all the expenses in Dashi's palace are mainly decorated with gold. Even at the entrance of the palace, Li Hong looked at Looking at it, everything that appears in the field of vision is inextricably linked to gold.
The guards at the gate of the palace were riding on white horses, and their armors were all made of bright silver, which was the opposite of the black armor of the Tang Dynasty. Under the sunlight, Li Hong didn't know why, but the old castle and witches kept popping up in his mind. , The Story of Knights and Vampires.
"I have met the noble Majesty of the Dashi Kingdom." The Dashi-style carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the palace. Li Hong, served by Hua Meng and Cheetah, slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at the Dashi waiting at the entrance of the palace. King Awiye walked forward quickly, and then saluted Awiye using the eating etiquette that Saleh taught him yesterday.
Behind Aviye, there were many ministers and soldiers of Dashi, and in front of these people, the heads of the other eleven noble families also appeared at the entrance of the palace to greet Li Hong.
Li Hong was still a little surprised by such a scene. Dashi's standards for him were obviously far beyond the standards Saleh told him yesterday. According to the courtesy standards Saleh told him, he... seemed to be able to become a god. All.
A tall masked woman in white next to Aviye translated Li Hong's words through the black gauze on her face to the smiling King of Food Aviye.
Then what came to Li Hong's ears was a language that he had never understood in his ten lifetimes. But at this time, Li Hong naturally knew very well that as long as he kept a humble smile on his face, it was enough.
Yeyue's voice sounded again, translating Aviye's words into Tang dialect and telling Li Hong, but no one in Li Hong and Aviye cared, but they were looking at each other.
Aviya did not wear a golden armor to greet him as Saleh predicted yesterday. Instead, he wore white king's clothes. Both the cuffs and the placket were embroidered with gold threads that were obviously characteristic of the Tang Dynasty. , like Li Hong expressing his goodwill as a big food king.
