Someone who took advantage but was still beaten was satisfied and separated from Ye Yue who was taken advantage of. As soon as he returned to the tenement building, he received an invitation from Fang Zhan.
Li Hong picked up the invitation and roughly guessed that this invitation must be from one of the eleven nobles.
Li Hong, who did not open the invitation to read it, put it in his hand, and then saw the Sultan, led by Hua Meng, appear at the door of the hall, and said with a serious face: "My father is visiting you personally. Come on, you better be polite."
"I am a prince of the Tang Dynasty. When I meet a wealthy nobleman, your father should be more polite to me, right? Besides, you still want something from me?" Li Hong crossed his legs and Dayou sat down to wait. I gave up even the idea of going to the hall door to greet him.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. Even if you don't care about my acquaintance, you still have to consider the fact that I gave you so many treasures yesterday. Can't you just stand at the door to greet me?" Sudan followed. His father lied, saying that he was in the Tang Dynasty and received extremely honorable treatment from the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why he did this was naturally to increase his bargaining chip, so that if the nobles and the royal family made progress in the negotiations about the successor of the Emperor of Dashi, and if he became qualified, then he would have a good relationship with the Tang Crown Prince. One thing will definitely give him a lot of points.
Therefore, as soon as Li Hong arrived in the food capital yesterday, Sultan immediately took action and resolutely came to visit regardless of Saleh's presence.
And now, now that the big words have been spoken, his father has been waiting at the tenement building since he came out of the palace.
As soon as Li Hong came back, he immediately came to visit. This contained both his father's judgment on Li Hong's negotiations with Aviye and his boasting as the Sultan.
Li Hong, with the old god present, lazily stood up, and then waited with Sultan at the door for a while before he saw his father walking towards here surrounded by a group of people.
"Thank you." The Sultan looked at the entourage and men behind his father. The reason why the father and son did not come in together just now was because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not allow his father's men to go in together, so he had to take the opportunity to run in. Find Li Hong first, and ask this guy to agree to let his father's entourage follow him in.
Li Hong looked at the Sultan and smiled without saying anything, and then after the ceremony with the head of the Hashemite family, Abu Musri, they walked into the hall side by side and sat down separately.
"In that case, are you still going to be the translator for me and your father?" Li Hong smiled and looked at the hall, except for the three of them, there was no one else.
Around the hall, after obtaining Li Hong's consent, Abu Musri, his entourage, Yu Tuqi and others densely surrounded the small building dedicated to entertaining guests to prevent anyone from entering. near.
"I know you had a very unpleasant conversation with Aviye today. You pretended to be having a good conversation to show the rest of us, or maybe Aviye wanted us to see that you and he were harmonious. He wants to tell us that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, has already cooperated with him. Please ask others not to have any more ideas for you. But I know Aviye very well, and I also believe that you have not agreed to cooperate with him. I am grateful for the cooperation, you are a wise Crown Prince, and I am sincerely happy for you," Abu Musri said with sincerity in his eyes.
Although he knew that Li Hong could not understand his words and needed his son to translate beside him, no matter what, he wanted Li Hong to see his sincerity and believe every word he said.
When the old man came up, he wanted to use some words to get a clear answer from himself. It looked like definite words, but in fact they were all his guesses. He wanted to use them to get a clear answer from Li Hong. The real answer.
"I can't reveal anything to you, because this is a secret between me and the distinguished monarch of Dashi Country. We need to keep this secret from each other. He did not show what you imagined in his contact with me and other nobles. Come on. The conversation between us was also very pleasant," Li Hong said with a shrug.
Li Hong naturally couldn't take the bait. Looking at Abu Musri's sincere eyes, he said with the same sincerity, and in his tone, there was more or less a hint of helplessness.
Sudan was confused and helped his father and Li Hong translate their conversation, but in his opinion, what the two said next was completely wrong.
Although you were still talking and others were talking, Sultan still didn't feel that there was anything practical in the conversation between them from the increasingly serious tone of the two.
Until his father said: "We need your help, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Tang Dynasty cavalry in Anxi to give us a helping hand. I can guarantee that the Dashi cavalry facing you now is ours, as long as you If we are willing to step into Tocharo, we will put up a symbolic resistance, then retreat without a fight and give up all the land in Tocharo to the Tang Dynasty.”
"Where is Jiling City?" Li Hong's eyes were like water, and he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation, and he continued to ask calmly.
"Your appetite is too big. Jiling City cannot give it to you. Besides... Jiling City is not under the control of my Hashemite family, so I cannot agree to your condition." Abu Musri's eyes flashed. There was a hint of anger that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was too ambitious. Once Jiling City was given to them, Dashi's inherent territory would be completely exposed to the eyes of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who was the monarch of Dashi at that time, He would like to have such a powerful enemy as Datang next to him.
"Jiling City was originally the Persian Governor's Palace of our Tang Dynasty. Belus was General Zuowei of our Tang Dynasty and the Grand Governor of the Persian Governor's Palace. You must be very clear about this, right? Do I want our original things back? Not even?" Li Hong said with a playful smile, looking directly at Abu Musri.
These words put the Sultan who was acting as a translator in a dilemma. This Li Hong was too ambitious, and he was so aggressive. It happened more than ten years ago, and he still brought it up.
Besides, the Persian Governor's Mansion? The Sassanid Kingdom originally had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty. It was because of the Eastern invasion of the Great Eclipse that the Sasanian King Belus turned to the Tang Dynasty for help in order to avoid being destroyed. As a result, he was protected by the Tang Dynasty and established the so-called The Persian governor's palace was built to prevent the invasion of cannibals.
So to put it bluntly, the Persian Governor's Palace, whose territory should be occupied by whoever occupies it, has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
But now the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hong, insisted that it was the original territory of the Tang Dynasty, because whether it was the Persian Governor's Mansion or the Sassanid Kingdom, they were indeed guarded by the army of the Tang Dynasty before they were occupied by the cannibals. , and their Dashi indeed snatched these lands from Dashi's hands.
Looking at the silent Sudanese father and son, Li Hong smiled and continued: "If I remember correctly, the Khawalij family, whose family power is mainly based in Basra City, seems to enjoy control of that land. As for your Hashemite family, you are mainly in the Fustat area, where you enjoy supreme prestige and power. As for Tochara, there are not only your army there, but also Khawalij. The troops of the Cordo family are stationed, so Aviya is under pressure from you and is preparing to continue the Eastern expedition. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also for the benefit of your major families, because you need to plunder more Eastern wealth. To keep your family prosperous, right?"
Whether it is the Hashemite family, other families, or the Dashi royal family, in the eyes of Li Hong, an Oriental, they are all real wolves that eat people without spitting out bones.
Previously, Aviya was forced by the pressure of the situation and wanted to continue the eastern expedition to relieve the pressure on him from the nobles.
But can the Eastern Expedition relieve the pressure? How could several major families agree to continue the Eastern Expedition when it was a waste of people and money
The reason is naturally that the wealth plundered from the Eastern Expedition does not need to be given to the Dashi royal family, but can be divided among the several major families participating in the war.
But because of the concentration of aristocratic power and the fact that some rights are shared by eleven nobles, some of whom support the royal family Aviyeh and some who oppose Aviyeh like the Hashemite family, the start of the war must also require Aviyeh. Only with Ye's approval can it be truly implemented.
It can be seen that after Li Hong arrived in Dashi, the pressure on Aviye was far greater than the pressure on Hashem and other families.
After all, Aviya is now facing double pressure that he cannot escape. If he agrees to the war with the nobles, Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty will naturally reach an agreement with other nobles who oppose him in a tit-for-tat manner, and then overthrow his rule. Establish a new regime.
Without fighting, the nobles who are waiting for food need money, wealth, beauties, and land to demonstrate their status and their ambitions. If these Aviyas cannot be given to them, then these hungry nobles will naturally start to focus on the supreme right. Getting the supreme right to eat means getting more money, beautiful women and other wealth. Same.
So Aviya is now in a dilemma, and the nobles who oppose him can now advance, attack, retreat or defend. On the one hand, they can reach an agreement with the prince of the Tang Dynasty to overthrow his rule, and on the other hand, they can continue to oppress him. War to the east. As for what will happen to the relationship between Li Hong and Aviye if the war begins, the nobles who oppose him will not care.
"This is your irreconcilable friendship with the Tang Prince! You bastard! You wasted so much money yesterday just to please him! If he reaches an agreement with Aviye, do you know what the consequences will be! You idiot! "Abu Musri walked out of the tenement building, got on the carriage and walked a short distance away. He immediately cursed the Sultan.
