Chapter 823 (2/2)
” Haidongqing's damaged feathers in Chengdu government have not been fully grown, and they have not recovered their original bright appearance, so they are sent out by Li Hong to start ”going to work”.
He took the envelope on haidongqing's tough legs like steel, patted haidongqing's head, looked at haidongqing's protest against shelong and then flew away reluctantly.
Li Hong looked back at the secret letter in his hand, and continued to say: ”since the six imperial edicts were submitted to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has given a large amount of money and food to this place every year. But has the imperial court ever collected a penny of Nanzhao from taxation and other aspects? If we add in the grain and grass smuggled here by Jiannan Road, I have a rough estimate. With the grain produced by Liuzhao, the grain and grass recorded today can be eaten for five or six years even if all the people in the whole six imperial edicts do not eat or drink! But But he told me that Nanzhao was short of food, and the people were hungry and naked. Why”What does your highness mean?” Shelong surprisingly did not go to refute, but the tone with a lot of helpless asked.
”It's very simple. You've always been close to Tubo and are close neighbors. Now Tubo has been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. Its people can't live and work in peace and contentment. However, it's history that they are hungry and naked. All this depends on the efforts of Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai and the two people you just met. If a small six imperial edicts had been divorced from the rule of law in the Tang Dynasty, it would be Is it the territory of the Tang Dynasty? The common people Are they the people of the Tang Dynasty
Li Hong looked at the astonished sherong with satisfaction, and again offered to pour tea to the empty glass of sherong. This time, Li Hong even poured the tea flush with the edge of the cup.
If he wants to take the tea and not let the prince pour a drop of tea, he must bow down and drink the tea from the edge of the cup until he can carry it.
Sherong's eyes moved slowly from Li Hong's face to the tea cup that was about to overflow. He moved his lips. Instead of thanking Li Hong again, he murmured: ”in this way, how will your highness deal with the old minister and others? I believe your highness is not a ruthless monarch. The six imperial edicts were ruled by officials of Tang Dynasty. I think we and others should not be used by your highness? ”
”It depends on how to solve the matter of the six imperial edicts. If it can be solved without a single soldier, the imperial court will not forget your contribution. There are not thousands of noble families in the Tang Dynasty, and there are thousands of families. Do you still care about how many more families?” Li Hong still looked at the glass of the dragon and made a gesture of invitation.
”Your Highness, do you intend to bring earth shaking changes to the six imperial edicts by virtue of these 5000 troops? Although the troops are fine but few, I'm afraid it's a fine slave logic that won't easily agree. ” Shelong looked at the palace with some reluctance. This was the place where he lived with xinulu and shengluoyan, but after the prince arrived, it became his residence. His three grandchildren had been driven out of the palace.
”At that time, I conquered Tubo, but I killed one in and one out in Tubo, until I lived in the White Palace. Now I have lived in the palace, and sinulo robbed the three princes of Zhenla last night. Is this the iron evidence of the foreign enemies in Litong? There is strong evidence of collusion with Tubo. I have reason to govern the six imperial edicts from either side, right? Unless it's you, Lao Helong, who doesn't recognize that the six imperial edicts are the territory of the Tang Dynasty now, it will take a lot of hard work to say that I have such a force. ” Li Hong sneered, and then watched the Dragon bow his head to drink tea, until the tea will not be picked up when spilled, this slowly brought up.
”I can't guarantee anything. At that time, although the minister voluntarily passed the throne to Xi nuluo, but if he didn't force him, I would not have passed the throne to him so quickly. Although I am old, my body has always been strong and strong. Even now, there will be no big problems in the four sides of the war.” Lao She long drank all the tea in his hand, then put down his cup and stood up. He saluted Li Hong solemnly. After looking at the main hall of the palace, he left.
Li Hong didn't get up. Looking at Lao She Long's steps, he suddenly became more vigorous. He walked out of the palace quickly. After his back had disappeared for a long time, he slowly got up and walked to the door.
At this time, Lin Shiling and Quan Yi, with Yang Sijian and others, rushed to the palace from outside.
Although Quan Yi brought only 2000 soldiers, Li Hong was satisfied. What is gratifying is that among the 2000 soldiers, there are not only Tang people, but also about 30% Tubo soldiers and other nomadic soldiers. For Li Hong, it is much more happy than the army composed of Tang people.
”Chen Quanyi and Lin Shiling have met your highness.” Once again, they saluted Li Hong, who was still standing at the door.
Li Hong waved his hand at will, and then slowly walked up to Yang Sijian: ”whether you participated in the rebellion of Yang zhirou and Li Jingye, I will not investigate. The purpose of coming here must have been guessed. Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai were able to do something in Tubo in those years. I think you can do it Fan is no less than his achievements in politics. In the land of six imperial edicts, I will help you to take care of your worries. I will give you a place to display your talents, but If you can't give me the result I want, you can deal with yourself. ”
”Minister I will certainly live up to your Highness's trust Yang Sijian plopped, knelt on the ground and said in a reasonable voice.
