Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4070 The King's Jealousy
The monarchs and ministers were silent for a long time before Li Xiaogong said: "The Gar family has become a major hidden danger now. Ludongzan was suppressed and excluded by Songtsen Gampo in Tubo, and the whole family had to migrate to Qinghai Lake. The victim of the power struggle. Unexpectedly, Lu Dongzan was so courageous that he uprooted Fang Jun and completely occupied the Qinghai Lake area when Fang Jun defeated the main force of Tuyuhun in Dadou Bagu... Right now, the Gar family seems to be Tubo's confidant is in serious trouble."

He paused at this point, then looked at His Majesty Li Er and continued: "...Obviously, the Gar family has already received the support of Fang Jun and even the entire East Palace in the face of the huge pressure from Luoxi City. That's why Lu Dongzan's third son, Zan Po, led Hu Qi to Chang'an to help the East Palace... His Majesty must treat this matter with caution."

In the middle of the sentence, he did not specify the main purpose, but Li Xiaogong believed that with the strategic vision of His Majesty Li Er, he naturally understood what his worries were.

Once the situation is complicated and the life and death of the prince is threatened, he is likely to escape from Chang'an and retreat to Hexi under the protection of his subordinates. At that time, according to the terrain of Hexi, he will gather elite soldiers from the Western Regions and tens of thousands of Huqi from the Gar family as support. It is very likely that the prince will occupy the land outside Hexi, and he will be at loggerheads with the center.

It is enough to establish another country and compete with the central government within ten years.

The empire crumbles and civil war begins.

If the empire falls into such a crisis, at least the 20 years of recuperation since Zhenguan will be destroyed, and at worst, the world will be full of wars, reappearing the chaotic times of the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Xiaogong didn't have any preference, but pointed out to His Majesty Li Er the possible situation after Yi Chu: "Not only that, once the crown prince evacuates Chang'an to the west, Fang Jun will definitely attach to him, and the navy that is now criss-crossing the seven seas is also very likely. Do not obey the orders of the central government, rely on overseas territories to stand on their own, and even harass the coast... Worst of all, naval warships go upstream from rivers, rivers, etc. to the heartlands of Jiangnan and Shandong. Enemy."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaogong bowed his head slightly and said nothing more.

Today, the power of the Eastern Palace can no longer be underestimated. Not only the Six Rates of the East Palace and the Right Tunwei who performed well in the First World War in Guanzhong, but even the navy stationed overseas will become a serious threat to the empire at any time——The Six Rates of the East Palace It is still possible to annihilate the Right Tunwei, but how does the center guard against the navy?

His Majesty Li Er is sinking like water. It’s not like he hasn’t thought about these issues, even deeper than Li Xiaogong—once the navy rebels, it will not only harass the coast and attack the important towns along the Yellow River Chang’an, but also completely cut off the power of the Tang Dynasty. sea ​​trade.

Now Jiangnan and Shandong dynasties are rampant in maritime trade, grabbing endless benefits, once the benefits are damaged, how can they be willing to accept it?

Either collude with the navy, collude with the inside and outside to cut off the taxes that Datang can collect from the sea trade, or simply confront the center in the court...

The consequences could be disastrous.

No matter who sits on the throne at that time, facing such a situation, I am afraid that they will be helpless, and they will easily stir up mutiny, frequent civil wars and civil strife, until the center collapses.

Maybe he could be killed by the crown prince and return to Chang'an, regaining the throne...

He also understood Li Xiaogong's meaning: Yi Chu is not impossible, but the consequences may be extremely serious...

Is it worth it?

……

The tea was already cold, Li Xiaogong poured out the water in the teapot, put in the tea leaves, picked up the kettle on the stove beside it and poured boiling water, the aroma of tea overflowed instantly, and refilled the teacup on the coffee table with tea.

His Majesty Li Er whirled his teacup, and said slowly: "I have thought about what you are worried about, but I believe that Fang Jun will not be like this. This guy keeps saying that he is my loyal minister, but from what I have seen in his past actions, His loyalty to the empire is even greater than his loyalty to the emperor, who is philanthropic and broad-minded, and never harms the interests of the empire because of his own self-interest, and will never single-handedly lead to the collapse of the empire, the collapse of the country, and the desolation of the people."

This is exactly what he is dissatisfied with Fang Jun.

As an emperor, the son of heaven, since everything in the world is subject to his feet, I am the world, and the world is me. It doesn't matter whether the dynasty is the Great Sui or the Tang Dynasty, only I am the ruler of the world.

It is unreasonable for a subject to be more loyal to the world than to his emperor.

But since "I am the world, and the world is me", he can only be patient from time to time, and does not want to use this to denigrate the heroes, highlighting his narrow-mindedness and shallowness...

But he believes that Fang Jun is a man with the world in mind, fraternity and selflessness.

Can be regarded as a world leader...

Li Xiaogong didn't expect His Majesty to respect and trust Fang Jun so much, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and he seemed to be telling tales if he talked too much.

After a pause, he said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely stabilize the clan and do my best to support Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "It's exactly what I want."

*****
The drizzle is drizzling, and the night is heavy.

It was already the middle of the night, with the drizzle still shining and the candlelight shining, there were many people in the yamen of the Zongzheng Temple. From time to time, the children of the clan in gorgeous clothes came to the door in a car. The stables in the distance.

In the courtyard, dozens of soldiers were all wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, with their waist knives in their hands, guarding along the courtyard, full of murderous aura.

All the children of the clan were in doubt, unable to retreat even if they wanted to, so they could only come to the main hall nervously, seeing Li Xiaogong in military uniform sitting on the main seat with a big horse and golden sword, and many relatives sitting on both sides, they were even more frightened , two sour and soft.

The King of Hejian County was ordered to guard the Western Regions, but now he suddenly returned to Chang'an without anyone noticing it. From the beginning, he called the clan to meet in Zongzheng Temple with such a sense of oppression. Obviously, the situation has changed.

Thinking that Guanlong's remonstrance has not been eliminated for a long time, it still makes people feel lingering fear. Could it be another catastrophe and bloody storm?

……

Li Xiaogong sat in the first place, looked at the Han Wang Li Yuanjia who looked unnatural beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu called in the night, wouldn't the younger brothers and sisters show their masculinity for this? Haha, if it is true, then Brother Yu will not dare to do so in the future." Came to your house."

Beside Xu Wang Li Yuanli, Peng Wang Li Yuanze, Zheng Wang Li Yuanyi and other princes, as well as Li Xiaotong, Li Xiaojie, Li Daoxuan, Li Daoming and other county princes also echoed and smiled.

His Royal Highness King Han's "fear of internal affairs" order is well known throughout the world, and is often used as a joke among clan brothers.

Li Yuanjia was slandering in his heart, and smiled on the faces of the crowd: "If brother's words are spread, it will inevitably have the intention of slandering the concubine. This king is fine. I have always admired my brother and dare not say more, but if it spreads In Duke Yue's ears, that guy's voice is really annoying."

Li Xiaogong clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Others are afraid of that stick, how can you be afraid of him as a brother? If you dare to make noise in front of your brother, you must drink [-] cups with him, and we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of male and female!"

The princes and county kings who had just made a fuss froze their smiles and their expressions were embarrassing.

These days, the status of a married woman in her husband's family depends to a large extent on the power and importance of her natal family. The reason why Princess Han overshadows the sky in King Han's mansion and is so arrogant and domineering that King Han dare not even take a concubine is precisely because of the house. Er Nasi doted on his sister so much, in order to vent her anger on her sister, she would even do such a thing as "horse stepping on Han Wang's mansion" to scare Han Wang from going home.

If you hear that someone is making fun of Concubine Han, how can you let it go?

The King of Hejian County and Fang Jun are very close friends, Fang Jun dare not do anything, but these people here are worried in their hearts, they are afraid that Fang Jun will be angered, causing trouble to the upper body, and they will lose face when the time comes...

Li Daozong, who sat on the side with a low sense of presence, smiled and said: "You can't let Fang Er hear this, that guy sometimes gets crazy, and fights with his brother desperately for wine, I'm afraid he won't be able to win."

Li Xiaogong stroked his beard, deeply convinced, looked around and said: "If Fang Jun hears these words and makes him ignore me and fight with me, I will never give up."

The clan kings looked at each other in blank dismay, why did this sound so wrong?

I'm afraid it will be a "Hongmen Banquet" today...

Li Yuanjia didn't want to talk about it in depth. In the end, "fear of internal affairs" is not something to be proud of, so he changed the subject: "Why haven't King Wei, King Jin, and your highnesses arrived yet? I'll send someone to remind them."

In the hall, the royal family of Li and Tang gathered together. People with status sat here, and there were dozens of people who were not qualified, so they could only wait in the side hall, waiting for any decision here to go and let them know.

But none of the princes of His Majesty Li Er disappeared...

Li Xiaogong waved his hands and said: "No need, I didn't inform the princes...they are all here, right? I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, I can express them in front of you."

Everyone sat upright, showing a look of listening.

Back then, Li Xiaogong was the No. 1 commander of the clan under His Majesty Li Er, and conquered half of the Tang Dynasty. The momentum is enough to overwhelm all the clan disciples present.

Li Xiaogong looked around, Fangzheng's face was full of majesty, and he said slowly: "My Longxi Li family has been a famous family since ancient times, and it has stood among the famous families for hundreds of years. Jinyang raised troops and competed for the king of Shenzhou. Only then did he advance to the first class in the world, and he will look up to him all his life! The founding battle is not too far away. You and your father and brothers must have fought bloody battles for the empire. The empire is now prosperous and prosperous today. , are all watered by the blood of our Longxi Li family's children! Therefore, no matter what, whoever dares to collapse the empire forged by our blood is our sworn enemy!"

The tone is sonorous and the momentum is passionate!
This is exactly the fact. In the nearly 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people here have fought bloody battles with swords, guns, swords and halberds, fighting to the death with anti-kings from all walks of life. High, prosperous and rich, and the children and grandchildren, generation after generation, continue to live with the country.

Whoever dares to subvert the rule of the Tang Dynasty, whoever dares to shake the country of the Tang Dynasty, is the sworn enemy of the clan's children here, and they will be sworn to death.
