The Sultan, who temporarily put aside his prejudices, looked at Hassan's clouded face, rolled his eyes, and asked: "Oh? Then you can tell me, what other tricks can the emperor of the Tang Dynasty do now? I'm a big food Now that it has been completely torn apart, and his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, what use does Dashi have in his eyes? Isn’t it his ultimate goal to let Dashi continue to fight like this forever
Hassan glanced at Sultan and Zubair. Zubair was the one who had been closest to the Anxi Corps of the Tang Dynasty and Jiling City in recent years. Ever since the mysterious death of Narshiye, the son of King Belus of Persia, In Jiling City, and then when the entire Jiling City was ruled by the commoner prince of the Tang Dynasty, Hassan vaguely realized that Narshiye's death was definitely not a simple sudden death on the surface. It must have been secretly caused by the Tang Dynasty. do.
But at first, he couldn't figure out what the Tang Dynasty's purpose was. After all, if Jiling City had the reputation of being the King of Persia, it would have a huge influence on the refugees and the hungry people to submit to the Tang Dynasty.
It can even be said that over the years, whether it is the people of Dashi or the people of other countries, their willingness to enter Jiling City or even submit to Anxi of the Tang Dynasty is entirely for the sake of Narshiye, the Bose prince. , Only then were they willing to be naturalized by the Tang Dynasty.
But three years ago, Prince Narshiye of Persia died suddenly, but the Tang Dynasty was indifferent. Is it because the Prince of Persia was no longer of use? Or does Datang have other plans and conspiracies
Until now, Hassan was not sure whether what he was guessing was the ultimate goal of Li Hong, the emperor who had met him once and was now the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, if it is as he guessed, then Li Hong's ambition is really too big. He has been planning for the present since he entered Dashi, and he already knows clearly that he What is the ultimate goal of eating alone
But he couldn't believe his guess, because even he didn't believe it, and even he thought it was a bit ridiculous. How could this be possible? He is already the emperor, does he really want to...
In front of Sultan, Saleh, Zubair and others, Hassan suddenly sat down heavily on the chair in the yard. But at this time, his face was pale, sweating profusely, and his eyes were dull. The lips murmured: "Impossible! Impossible! This is too crazy! But..."
Hassan stared blankly ahead, and continued to murmur: "But what we can't believe is the ultimate goal of Li Hong."
"What exactly is it? You are the only one who can compare with him in terms of city government. When you were in the alley, you were not afraid of his status as the Tang Dynasty prince. You were not afraid that we would reap the benefits. You were afraid that when he was feasting, you would Do you want to kill him?" Sultan's face began to become gloomy, and things from many years ago came to mind again, including Li Hong saving himself from their thunder under Saleh's conspiracy. out.
"Did His Highness Yeyue say anything to you alone?" Hassan suddenly raised his head and asked Saleh, who was watching the show with a smile.
At this moment, Saleh looked at the sluggish Hassan and the Sultan who had completely broken with him, and his heart was filled with joy. It seemed that they were not stupid. They had already guessed that they would really cooperate with Datang. What would happen next? It will be a two-sided attack, completely eradicating Hassan and others from their territory.
Saleh looked at Hassan with a gloomy face proudly, and then looked at the Sultan and Zubair who had been silent. After a while, he said easily: "It's very simple. As long as our royal family recognizes Ye Yue, If the child has the blood of our Dashi royal family, it is enough to give him a title that matches his status, even... "
"Idiot, did you agree?" Hassan suddenly stood up, his face turned from pale to flushed, he pointed at Saleh with a trembling finger and asked angrily.
"What, are you scared?" Before Saleh could speak, Sultan suddenly asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I agreed. Why didn't I agree?" Saleh was still smiling, and he was smiling happily.
Hassan looked at Saleh's complacent look and sat back down again, but his fingers had already begun to tremble, and he murmured: "You idiot, you are willing to do whatever it takes to become the king of food." Traitor the country to seek self-control from the Tang Dynasty!”
"Treason?" Zubair stood aside and raised his eyebrows, but his eyes still fell on Sudan and Hassan, hoping to get a clear answer.
"Li Hong has evil intentions and covets the whole world. Just like our big food has been expanding westward in the past, even if you become the king of big food in the future, do you really think you can secure the country? Don't forget Well, the reason why Li Hong agreed to you is to pave the way for his and His Highness Yeyue's children. Sooner or later, the so-called nephew of yours will personally drive you off the throne and sit on that seat himself. I'm sure that this It must be Li Hong's ultimate ambition!" Hassan said with red eyes, looking at Saleh angrily.
The Sultan's frown deepened, and even Zubair, who had always been closest to the Tang Dynasty, frowned tightly at this moment.
The reason why he has been able to stand firm in the disputes of Dashi over the years and has not been cannibalized by others is entirely because of the support given to him by the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty has never interfered with Dashi's affairs, except for some items. , and never let the Tang army in Jiling City go beyond the thunder pool, so this is also one of the reasons why Zubair is willing to accept the support of the Tang Dynasty.
But if the ultimate goal of the Tang Dynasty was to send his prince to the throne of Dashi, then... Zubair had to think about whether it was worth it.
Sultan squinted his eyes, and the slit revealed a penetrating cold light. He looked at Hassan and Saleh thoughtfully, stroking his chin from time to time, or shaking his head slightly.
He couldn't tell how much of Hassan's actions and words were true and how false. He didn't know whether this was Hassan's alarmism, whether it was to destroy the alliance between Datang and Saleh, or whether it was Hassan's alarmism. What he said was really the naked ambition of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
"Is the Tang Dynasty harboring evil intentions? Or is it you, Hassan, who has evil intentions? Let Yeyue and his prince become the kings of Dashi in the future. Hassan, don't you think your inference is too ridiculous? A child of six or seven years old, Do you think he will become a threat to me in the future? Why can't I do something to this child like Li Hong did to me?" Saleh looked at Hassan who was glaring, and then slowly said so. He walked over to Hassan and sat down.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since Li Hong could use me and the Sultan at the beginning, why can't I follow suit and use the same method to use his princes many years later? This ancient country in the East is just like our royal family. The scene of intrigues and fights for power is just that Li Hong is too outstanding, which makes today's Tang Dynasty avoid the royal power struggles of his generation, but... That Li Xian in Jiling City was not a blockbuster before he At that time, didn’t you still overestimate your capabilities and do something to fight for the crown prince’s position?”
"Your Highness Yeyue is not the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, so among Li Hong's princes, only his queen's two sons have hope of inheriting the throne. But if His Highness Yeyue's prince has an uncle like you after his death, , or if Dashi supports him, he might be able to compete for the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he can't win by then, with Dashi's strength, he can support His Highness Yeyue's prince to establish himself as king in Anxi and split the country. Isn't it impossible for the Tang Dynasty to fall into the same situation as our Dashi today?" Zubair took two steps forward slowly and looked at each other side by side.
"Yes, Yeyue's son has the blood of my Dashi. As the king of Dashi, wouldn't it be natural for me to help my nephew when the time comes? If we add the prince of the Japanese concubine Dalai to the east of the East China Sea, If you want to compete with the princes of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty for this throne, or if you want to establish your own business in the east of the Tang Dynasty, think about it, can the Tang Dynasty still be as unbreakable as it is now with the pressure of a powerful emperor like Li Hong? , but what about in the future? Will his sons really not be ready to make a move, and will they really be like Li Zhe and Li Dan, willing to be his right-hand men without any complaints or ambitions? Even so, will King Pei be like that? Don’t you remember Li Hong’s exile to him back then, especially the broken arm that Li Hong cut off himself? These... are all what I can rely on to bring trouble to the Tang Dynasty in the future, so you still think that I have nothing to do with him? Li Hong joins forces, is it Li Hong who finally takes advantage?" Saleh smiled confidently.
But what he got in exchange was a cold snort from Hassan. He didn't believe that Li Hong couldn't think of this. Saleh, who was as stupid as a pig, could think of it, but how could Li Hong, who took one step and counted eight steps, think of it? When he dared to go into Dashi alone, didn't he know that he was walking deep into a tiger's den? Doesn't he know that if Dashi is disrupted, he may not be able to get out of Dashi
But he came in the end, and also broke up the big food, and then escaped from the many traps set by Saleh and his father for Li Hong, and finally used Zubair safely, who was originally The noble force that no one likes has returned to Anxi.
In the end, the Zubair clan was cultivated into the fourth largest force in Dashi today. In the end, instead of sitting on a high tower, watching his good fortune in Dashibu, watching the wars and disintegration of Dashi.
"You can think of it, but Li Hong can't think of it?" Sudan asked with interest as he looked at the confident Saleh.
"Of course he can think of it, but being able to think of it doesn't mean that he can do something about it. Now his prince is naturally suppressed by him, but what about in the future? Of course I won't be stupid enough to seduce him now, can I wait? So? Since he wants me to recognize the bloodline of their prince Dashi, why can't I just go along with the flow and fulfill his wishes?" Saleh said with high spirits, but the thought of Li Hongdai before Ye Yue left was lingering in his mind. Words to him: “It’s a lot of fun to fight against people.”
