Chapter 417: Xixi Xiangchen Lotus Steps at the Bottom (IV)

Could it be that the future of the Tang Dynasty was settled in this tent?

I don’t know if I feel accomplished or amused.

Li Wei hasn't spoken for a long time, and Li Shoucheng is not in a hurry. If the prince answers immediately, he will not believe it. Just like himself, he has not mentioned it for a few days, so he has to observe it first. Seeing the prince's attitude towards him does not mean how important he is. He is the queen's confidant, and how he treats himself, from some aspects, can also see how he treats the queen in his heart.

Or just like King Yong, he is very disrespectful to himself.

The result was not too bad. The prince was very enthusiastic about himself, so enthusiastic that he was very moved. After all, it was not the later Tang Dynasty. At this time, the eunuchs had a very low status, just like Pei Xingjian, Heiqi Changzhi, Li Jinxing and others, who were also polite to Li Shoucheng, but Li Shoucheng did not dare to be arrogant.

So I took the opportunity to try it out again.

Li Wei paused for a moment, and while thinking in his heart, he replied: "Yes, not only the country, but also the orphan, but also very grateful to the mother for protecting her son's ministers. In the past, she was young and ignorant, and did not understand the mother's painstaking efforts, and she offended her many times. Now when she thinks about it, she feels very ashamed."

"Your Highness did a good job later," he did not do well later. Xu Jingzong died because of Li Wei, and did not leave any backup plan for Wu Zetian. He also attacked Wu Zetian because of the death of Princess Li Xian. However, this was all on the surface, unlike the original one, which was placed in the dark to make a sad arrow, so that Wu Zetian would be truly disappointed.

Besides, the prince still looks down on the queen most of the time.

Therefore, Li Shoucheng has never been jealous of Li Wei. What he dislikes is Li Wei's little intimacy with Angel Wu Ze, which makes him feel the intimacy of abnormal mother and son.

"That's how dare, but Eunuch Li, there is one thing he doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Your Highness, please say."

What should you say or not? It is best to say what you say or not.

"The person I admire most in my life is not my father. My father is very amazing. Everyone says that he is not as good as before. This is a biased statement. How many disasters have happened in the country over the past few years? It has been a good weather for two years. This year, there has been a drought in Hebei, Henan and Hedong. How difficult is it to control? But I don't admire him. As an emperor, it is equivalent to the parents of millions of people. Parents do not care about their children. What is the parents? This is what we should do. The one who really admires is the mother."

"Your Highness..."

"Empress Li, don't believe what kind of situation is the situation of the mother and queen? She won the harem? She is serving her father with great care. This is not counting. How many burdens have she broken down for her father in the past ten years? If there is no help from the mother and queen, the country will be full of disasters and difficulties, and it will be too lonely to imagine."

I admire it really, not only wisdom, but also power and some means.

I looked at the second child and didn't know the specifics, but he vaguely felt that if he didn't come back in time, the second child would be completely finished this time.

At that time, the second brother was really useless, no! Although he was surrounded and made his father angry, the second brother became the best heir to the empire. Many ministers came to join him, and the limelight was in full swing. But what was the result?

Li Shoucheng would not know Li Wei's inner thoughts and did not make a sound. When recalling Li Wei's words, some of them were sincere and some of them were false.

"I have a more rebellious sentence, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Your Highness, please say, I will never reveal a word."

Well, as soon as you go back to Chang'an, everything will be revealed to your mother.

"If I am lucky enough to inherit the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will definitely ask my mother to continue to assist me. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han unified the world and said that the reason why I own the world was not my power, but that I used three people well, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin. Xiao He can compare with his mother? It's far away!"

"Yes, it's a pity that the queen is just a woman, otherwise all the ministers in the court would die of shame," Li Shoucheng sighed.

It's enough, this is probably the bottom limit for the prince to open. The empress will also delegate power, which is similar to the current right. In the future, the political situation will be led by the prince and supplemented by the empress. If you want to have more rights than the prince, the prince will not agree. However, you will not suppress the empress after you come to power.

Speaking of this, I have been thinking about it. I just need to bring the words back and let the queen choose by herself.

"Then I won't disturb Your Highness's rest," he left with a smile.

"I'm here to give you a gift," Li Shoucheng didn't dare to pretend to be too big, so he asked him to stay.

Li Wei stood down and looked up at the sky. The moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and it was dizzy. The east wind blew, not like May in Chang'an, but it was a little cool, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, and the breath was intoxicating.

But the waves in my heart were surging and turbulent.

The conditions I offered were already very high, I wonder if my mother would agree?

As long as my mother continues to take over the government, my mother's abilities can still be reversed. After all the martial arts entered the capital, several prime ministers were attracted by him, filling the future with countless unknowns. This is not the worst, I am afraid that my mother will not be satisfied with this.

Of course, there will be a good direction. If the mother does not have the idea of ​​becoming a female emperor at this time, she is satisfied and helps herself, her role is no less than that of a prime minister. What she lacks, her mother can just supplement her.

Pei Xingjian came over and asked, "Your Highness, what did Eunuch Li say just now?"

"I've talked about it."

"Your Highness, I will say something to you. Your Highness remembers that the Queen is not under your control."

As a confidant.

Li Wei said nothing and had no good feelings for Wu Zetian and Pei Xingjian. The result was not very good, because of this, he was suppressed and became the second son of the Ministry of Personnel.

"I know what I know in my heart," Li Wei thought of two people, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, who had little grudges with their mother, so their ideas were more fair. Do you have to start the future after meeting with Lunqinling? In Qinghai, you just want to retreat as a step forward, not stand by. You can not fight, but you must prepare.

So how to do it? Thousands of threads came over, and he felt confused than dealing with Lun Qinling...

...

From Jishi Army to Hongji City, it is a must-fight place between the two countries. No herders come to graz, and the grass grows well. When the wind blows, it becomes a green ocean.

The army rolled in, and the meeting between the head coaches of the two countries began.

Each led 3,000 troops, but they were not on the ridge, but were stationed on the east and west sides of the ridge. Then there were another hundred guards, and they retreated a hundred steps away. Otherwise, the meeting would not be possible. There were many people in the distance wearing casual clothes and running on horseback. They were all scouts. Not only did the Tang Dynasty worry, but the Tubo side was also worried.

A middle-aged man wearing a big red Tubo robe walked up, and Li Shoucheng whispered: "That's Lunqinling in Tubo?"

“That’s right.”

"Your Highness, you are not tall and burly."

"He used ten thousand enemies, not hundreds of enemies, and it doesn't matter whether he was a burly man. In terms of strength, how many soldiers in our army are better than those in the lonely army?"

"That's true." After Li Shoucheng said, he looked at Lun Qinling curiously and walked over.

I finally got to know this person in the capital, and there were many rumors, just like the rumor of Li Wei in Tuyuhun, it was a mess, and some even said that this person had three heads and six arms.

But when we meet, it is just like this. On the contrary, if we don’t have the face of a Tubo, we would have a more bookish temperament than the Confucian ministers of the Tang Dynasty. This is what he imagined.

Without the person coming, Lun Qinling said loudly: "Your Highness, why do you think of meeting me here? Is this the boundary between your Tang Dynasty and our Tubo?"

"You think so beautifully. Not only Qinghai, but also Tubo, you will definitely own it for me, sooner or later. If you talk about this place, what is the meaning? You reminded me that when I kill you in the future, you will bury your head here. What do you think? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is also an excellent place to bury your head."

"Haha, Your Highness, you think so beautifully. If you want me to surrender to Tubo, you don't have that ability in the Tang Dynasty. My head is beautiful, but you can't get it."

"It may not be." After saying that, he clapped his hands.

The guards brought a table from behind, two beard beds, and a large basin was placed on the table, with a steaming lamb roasted inside, and a few jars of wine and two exquisite wine goblets next to it.

"Great discussion, sit."

Sit down naked.

"The great treatise, I have never forgotten it last time I thanked you for your reception. Unfortunately, a great treatise, that I am so shabby to entertain this prince, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

"I'm negligent, Prince, don't be surprised," he said, and did not let the guards try it. He grabbed the lamb, tore it open with his hands, took a big bite, and said, "It tastes good, it's very good. Last time I poured wine for Your Highness, won't your Highness pour me this time?"

Li Shoucheng and a group of guards standing behind wanted to be annoyed, but Li Wei waved his hand.

Why bother with these false names?

Besides, putting aside the enemy's position, this man poured wine for him on duty. He held up the wine jar, filled the wine goblet for him, and said, "A great treatise, taste it. This is the fine wine that my father gave me."

Drink it in one sip and said, "Good wine."

Although Li Shoucheng was dissatisfied with the prince pouring wine for him, he also admired his demeanor very much.

Li Wei poured a glass for him and said, "Da Lumpur, wine is good wine, sheep is good sheep, but how does Da Lumpur feel in his heart at this time?"

"I regret it. I am not greedy enough. Otherwise, Hexi will kill Your Highness, and I will lose one of the biggest disasters in the future. However, fighting with Your Highness is also a great blessing in my life. I feel regretful and happy in my heart."

He spoke very honestly.

"The great remarks are also heroes," Li Wei said silently: "I don't know what kind of person your father was back then. I have never seen him before. No wonder the ancestor Emperor Taizong admired him very much. You can see it from you."

"I think my father can be praised by you in the dark and silence. Come on, come on, the prince is not only amazing, but also open-minded. I wish you a cup."

Two wine goblets touch each other.

After drinking, Lun Qinling said, "Your Tang Dynasty and our Tubo battled two times, and there were heavy casualties. I, Tubo, cannot do anything to your Tang Dynasty. But the prince also went to Duomian and Supi tribes, so the place was not high. After passing Dangla Mountain, it would be even more difficult for you Central Plains to survive. Why would I be the leader of our family Zanpu, and all the lands of Qinghai will be handed over to your country, and together with the Western Regions, and return them. How can the two countries continue to be as reconciled as before?"

This is the plan that Lun Qinling thought hard.

After returning, many ministers and nobles would oppose their battle, and most of them even thought that their battle was very ridiculous. They could obviously annihilate most of the Tang army, and regardless of this actual interests, they would be able to siege the prince of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, they would lose both their people and their wealth.

So I have to find an excuse to shut them up. This is one of them.

The Tang Dynasty was not satisfied with giving up such a great benefit. So should we give up the entire surface of the sea? Then we will give up the Dongnu Qiang and Bailan tribes again? This is something that the Tubo people cannot accept.

But would the Tang Dynasty agree? Even if it agrees, the longer the front line, the less troops the Tang army is, and it can counterattack it at any time. As long as Qinghai is in hand, the Western Regions can be recovered sooner or later. On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty did not get any benefits for their so-called benevolent governance, but instead they had to increase their troops to garrison, and the less troops they were in short supply.

This is just an assumption. In fact, there is no need to think about it. The Tang Dynasty was sure to win the entire Qinghai. How could it be possible to agree?

Li Wei was stunned at first, and suddenly laughed: "Good idea, if you do this, your Tubo opposes will definitely be weaker."

"There are always some people in Tubo who are short-sighted, and the same is true for your Tang Dynasty. You are just using some small tricks, but if the prince agrees, I will still dare to take the initiative."

"The great theory is a hero, but you Tubo people have too poor credit, including you father and son. Heroes are heroes, and their credit is also untrustworthy. There is friendship between countries, so let's continue fighting. Let's see if you Tubo people have a hard fist, or if our Tang Dynasty has a hard fist. Only one side will really fall down and then we will talk about peace."
