Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 911: Ambitious

Views:

Granting Li Yi the title of King of East China Sea was easy to say, but granting Li Cheng the title of King of Jiling once again involved the grudge between Emperor Li Hong and King Pei Li Xian.

Who among the members of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty doesn’t know that although King Li Xian of Pei was exiled to Anxi as a commoner over the years, in the next ten years, he used the reputation of the prince of the Tang Dynasty to fight with Persia in Jiling City. Prince Narciye acted together to resist and support the Cordo family who were eating too much.

To put it bluntly, it must be said that Li Xian made a great contribution to the fact that Ji Ling City can reach this scale and Dashi can continue to fight for years.

Three years ago, His Majesty recalled King Pei Li Xian, and restored his status as King Pei on the eve of the death of the late Emperor. King Pei then stayed in mourning for three years. Now that the three years are up, King Pei is about to return to Chang'an, but His Majesty wants to grant the title of Prince Li Xian to his own son. He was succeeded as King Ji Ling.

Of course, this is just one of them, not to mention that there is nothing wrong with this one. After all, Li Hong is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole world belongs to him. He can grant titles to whomever he wants. He has nothing to do with Li Xian, who has been in Jiling City for many years. What a big deal.

There is nothing wrong with the fiefdom extending to the borders of the Tang Dynasty, but who doesn't know that the prince Li Chengnai is the son of His Majesty and Princess Yeyue? How old are you? Before the crown prince was established, Li Cheng was first given a title and a fief. This was hard to explain to the harem, the court, and the people in the world. How did this make the world think about the royal prince

"Is it time for the Sixth Brother to come back?" Li Lingyue, who now dared to gently rub her still burning butt, rolled her eyes at Li Hong. She had rarely been punished like this by the emperor since she was sixteen years old.

This time I couldn't escape being punished by my brother. Obviously what I did that day was a bit too much. He exposed the emperor's scandal to the people all over the world. Now even the envoys from foreign countries know about it. Moreover, there were several of his mortal enemies inside, so it was no wonder that the emperor dealt a cruel blow to himself this time.

"Come back in a few days. In the confrontation with Saleh and others, Li Xian has to meet them no matter what. Besides, they have all named him and want to meet the Tang Dynasty prince who has been confronting them in Jiling City for many years. "Li Hong replied with a smile.

Then he looked at Li Lingyue, who still looked a little reluctant, picked up the memorial and said, "This is a memorial to Li Cheng and Li Yi. I haven't asked anyone's opinion yet. If you're afraid, If my mother pursues the case, you can use this memorial to test it..."

"Don't come here, I won't be a spearman for you. I'm not stupid now. I can let your Shangguan Imperial Concubine go. I don't want to use my own woman, so I cruelly push my own sister towards my mother." Li Lingyue said. When she came to the word "kiss" for her sister, she even emphasized her tone to highlight the extreme injustice and anger in her heart when she was beaten at this moment.

"You really don't plan to help me?" Li Hong was not in a hurry, and motioned to Hua Meng at the door to wait for a while, and then started to spend time with Li Lingyue.

No matter how Bai Chun persuaded him, the brother and sister were like fighting cocks with red eyes. One was sitting behind the desk with a deep expression, while the other was pouting seductive red lips, as if there was nothing you could do to me. look.

While the two brothers and sisters continued to fight, while Li Lingyue looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and the peacemaker Bai Chun helplessly watched the two fighting back and forth, Saleh and Hassan, as well as the Sultan, Prince Dajin and others Under his gaze, a verbal confrontation was also taking place.

Yeyue had just led Prince Li Cheng to leave. Saleh entered through the entrance of the courtyard arranged for them by the Ministry of Rites. He laughed directly at the entrance of Hassan's small courtyard, as if to declare that Hassan was here. The situation of Dashi will take a turn for the worse in the coming days.

Of course Hassan knew why Saleh laughed so wildly. He had been suppressed by him during the two years of Dashi. Now he could only barely hold on to that piece of territory in the capital. The rest of the place was due to the relationship between him and his father in the past few years. The discord has made it easier for him and others. Now, except that they are still kings in name, the others, well, in Hassan's eyes, they are no longer a threat.

What's more, the purpose of Hassan coming to Chang'an was not to ask for help. He just wanted to see how powerful the so-called most powerful country was, the Tang Dynasty. That's why he and Saleh put aside their prejudices and cooperated with the domestic The ongoing disputes temporarily stopped and came to the Tang Dynasty to take a look. Li Hong, who returned to the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor after the Great Eclipse caused the Great Eclipse to fall apart, was the Tang Dynasty really like this under his rule? What other people say is like another world.

Along the way, whether he saw the Tang Dynasty's defense in Jiling City or the peace of the people, he felt frightened. He even saw Jiling City and the real territory of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi. The four towns of Anxi are majestic and unbreakable, like a natural chasm. For the first time in his life, Hassan felt powerful and indestructible.

The prosperity of the four towns in Anxi also exceeded his imagination. He had never thought that a city could be so prosperous, so harmonious and lively, with people and businessmen in all kinds of clothes everywhere, and even some officials were equally happy on the streets. Wandering around contentedly, it was completely different from the scene hundreds of miles away where war was raging and people were living in dire straits.

He even thought that the legendary and mysterious capital of the ancient oriental country was nothing more than the four towns of Anxi. Even if his confidants said that the capital was a completely unimaginable sight, he even believed that it was unimaginable. The imagined scene is nothing more than a larger number of people and a larger city.

With such an attitude and thought, when he crossed the vast desert and traveled along the endless so-called Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, his heart was shocked beyond measure.

There were no interruptions in the caravans and camel caravans along the way, which made Hassan even wonder if the camel caravans and caravans along the way had been connected into an endless black line. Are there all kinds of business travelers and camel teams traveling along the Datang pipeline that stretches for thousands of miles

Day by day, year by year, if calculated based on the taxes collected by the four towns in Anxi from foreign countries... Hassan really couldn't imagine that the four major towns with the four towns in Anxi as the trade center would have to collect taxes this day. How much money do you earn? How much do you need to earn in a year

He couldn't imagine it, because after entering Yumen Pass and entering the so-called real hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, what he saw completely overturned Hassan's world view.

And when they could see the outline of Chang'an City from a distance, not only Hassan was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, but Saleh, who had been to Chang'an twice in a row, and Sultan, who had been there once, were shocked again. When I looked at the city with its skyline like dark clouds, I instantly felt like crying and despairing.

This isn't a city at all, it's just an endless stretch of mountains with blooming flowers and no end in sight.

As they slowly entered Chang'an City, they were already numb. When they faced such a powerful and prosperous capital that seemed to have never appeared in a dream, in addition to sighs and despair, there were countless dazzling feelings in their hearts.

Hassan walked out of his courtyard again, and these sultans who were already on the same level as Saleh also walked out of their courtyards at the same time, including Zubair of the Kordo family, looking at the high-spirited and triumphant Saleh couldn't help but lament a little more in his heart.

After all, Yeyue is the princess of Dashi and the concubine of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty has not yet given birth to the so-called dragon son. This naturally makes Yeyue's status in Datang become very important. In the eyes of Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Yeyue is the princess of Dashi. Naturally, she was favored by Princess Yeyue, so as her brother, Saleh smiled like this at this time. It was obviously the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty conveying some message to Princess Yeyue through her mouth.

From this we can also know that when they return to Dashi where the war was suspended again, Saleh, who is at a disadvantage and has more defense than offense, may start to counterattack with the support of Datang.

Compared with the dull expressions on the faces of Sultan and Zubair, Hassan's calm and thoughtful face showed no fluctuation at all. As a disdainful expression gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth, he looked at the arrogant and proud expression. Saleh threw cold water and said: "If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was as easy to talk to as you think, then he would not have broken the food into pieces with one person and then escaped unharmed."

"What do you mean? Are you jealous, or do you want to seek peace in a different way? You have indeed taken advantage of a lot in these years, but as long as the church recognizes that my father is still the king of food, then you will always be Rebellious minister!" Saleh refused to give in. He had suffered enough from Hassan over the years, and originally thought he could compete with him or Li Hong.

But after being beaten passively in the past few years, he understood that Li Hong was a devil who deserved to go to hell, and he was not something Saleh could compare with.

The Hassan in front of him was no less scheming than Li Hong. It was just because of his passive position in Dashi that he was unable to compete head-on with Li Hong. However, he had suffered enough over the years.

"Idiot! Is Li Hong so easy to talk to? You really can't see his ambition at all? Your Highness Yeyue brought the so-called prince of the Tang Dynasty to see us. Do you really think it's just to see your so-called uncle? If Li Hong's purpose is so simple, why would we let a few of us meet His Highness Yeyue? One day, you idiot, you'll give up the whole food to others and you won't realize it!" Hassan looked at Wu Yao! Salih, who could be saved and treated as a relative with a little sweetness, said disdainfully.

The hero Aviya I was able to snatch the throne from his ancestors and get the church to recognize their orthodoxy. Naturally, it was not because of his powerful force, but because of his extremely deep city and his cunning and insidious methods.

But among the princes of Aviya, no matter how you look at the three sons, the other two look dumber than the other one, but even so, they still think they are extremely smart.
