Power and Empire Chapter 3064: The Burning Plains (25)
Li Long, a red robe representing the status of Minister of China and Biya, is like a red flag, facing the river breeze, standing on a soil **** on the side of the river, the ground in front is crowded with people. Standing on a high place and looking at it, there is no end in sight. Li Long’s blood-stained pupils swept across the real crowded scene, and countless people crowded forward, but inside Bitter
Yelü’s family releases all the people in Central Bialand under its control. It is a great thing for the whole Central Bialand. However, if such a good thing comes slowly in a few years, it’s even a big deal. How difficult it is for Biyachaotang to squeeze out all the materials to settle these repatriated people, but such repatriation, concentrated in a dozen days, that is a disaster,
As the front line of the Yelv family's fierce battle with China and Biya for several years, all the bridges on the big river have long been dismantled. The countless ships that originally gathered on both sides of the river were also the first half of the year before the Yelu family went south. The time was all burned, and now it’s just relying on these temporary pontoon bridges for everyone. In addition to the nearly one million people who have gathered in the direction of the river, there are more people driven by the Yelu’s family and heading towards the river. More than a hundred miles of the river course was moving. Just on the mound on the side of the big river course, you could also see the Yelu family’s cavalry lined up on the nearby soil slope. Their eyes were cold, as if they were looking at a group of driving away. Cattle and sheep are average,
Li Long heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and took a deep breath, knowing that the situation he was most reluctant to face was coming. He turned around and saw a Chinese officer dressed in dark purple. The middle-aged man in the suit came up from behind, looked arrogantly at the sea of people in front, then looked at Li Long and said coldly
"Master Li Long, what the **** is going on? With so many refugees gathered here, there is nothing to do as the special envoy of China and Biyah. Master Li Long should understand that a country cannot be ruled for a day, Your Majesty What a big event the return is, how can it be delayed because of these refugees, if this is spread out, the prairie people will not laugh out their teeth"
"Master Hong Leong, if you have a way, you can come here. There is no need to hide and run on me like this. This time I took your Majesty back to the court, and my Li family only did the duty of a courtier. The adults mean "Li Long's eyes flickered with disdain. Along the way, Li Long's face was cold, and the hand holding the whip was even paler
"Master Li Long, what are you talking about? His Majesty the emperor is returning south, what a major event, we are just a little eager. After all, you, Li Long, is the principal of China and Bahrain in the north of the river. , Your Majesty and I are still waiting for the good news from the lord. "The minister of China and Pia, known as Hong Leong, twitched his eyebrows, and flicked his sleeves away in a bad tone. The way, this is not to drive him. It’s a joke, so many refugees are crowded here, even the gods can’t help it, not to mention that he is a mortal, the reason why he has repeatedly urged Li Long to make a decision, is not to put the main responsibility on Li Long, if Li Long really let go, but it's worse
"My lord, it's no wonder that Chaotang is controlled by such a person. The update is the fastest..." A guard behind Li Long couldn't see it. As soon as he said something, Li Long glared at him. Have to shut up
"Remember, Chaotang has no affiliation with my Li family anymore. For what they said and did, just can't see it. As for how these people treat my Li family, they naturally regret it! "Li Long took a deep breath and continued to look forward. For the court, he was not only frustrated, but also because of the meeting with the imperial emperor that made him firm his idea of completely abandoning the Zhongbia court
Compared with China and Biya, which is still in the midst of the sunset, Li Long is obviously more optimistic about the cooperation between the empire and the Li family
And Li Long also understood that the imperial emperor has integrated the Yelv family in the influence of the steppe people, so the next goal must be Zhongbia, otherwise the imperial emperor will not tell himself in front of him, The empire will appoint Li Yuehua, a woman from the Li family, to lead the affairs of the empire in China and Biyadh. This news is currently blocked, but Li Long believes that this news will spread throughout China and Biya soon.
That must be a scene like an earthquake, Li Long's mouth is slightly upturned, and his eyes flashing reveals a playful sneer. Who would have thought that he was scolded by the entire Zhongbian court. At this moment, the woman is returning with such a jaw-dropping identity. The empire’s plenipotentiary in Central and Biyadh, holding a hundred thousand empire army, presses the grassland to the north, and the Long’s house in the west town, from the northwest of the country, From Yanzhou to Dijing West Road, this almost occupies a third of the military and political affairs in the central and northern part of Central and Biya. It is completely determined by one word. Here you can see how much the imperial emperor trusts Li Yuehua.
Li Long had to admire how wise it was when the old patriarch Li Tai ordered Li Yuehua to be completely removed from the Li family tree
If you don’t cut off the Li family’s concern, the imperial emperor is not at ease. After decades of ups and downs, the old prime minister naturally knows that the emperor’s heart sees that the Li family’s hope is not in Zhongbia, so Drive decisively. With the huge tree of the empire, who would hold the roots and feet of the old tree that has been hollowed out by countless borers?
For more than a year, let the court overthrow and overthrow, all kinds of insults and humiliation, the Li family just thanked the guests behind closed doors
Those who don’t know make people think that the Li family is already a yellow flower of yesterday, and they can only hide their heads and hide, but they don’t know that the more unbearable the Li family is, the more trust Li Yuehua can gain in the empire, and the emperor will truly be willing to take Li again. Family support, because only the Li family who is really losing power is worthy of the empire throwing an olive branch, otherwise it is just cooperation of interests, rather than complete symbiosis
For most of the past six months, Li Long has also been sitting on the sidelines, letting it be relegated, from the dignified military headquarters all the way down, almost falling at an alarming rate. Li Long watched these so-called ministers, when the emperor disappeared, All of them shrank their necks and pretended to be tortoises. The Song clan came to power to support the Song clan, and the Long family sang praises to the Long family when they came to power. Now that the emperor is going south, he immediately rushed forward crying and shouting, trying his best to show how loyal he is. , Especially the former Minister of Etiquette, Yu Fenglong, is the most eager.
At the beginning, he was regarded as a person with countless scenery. With the support of the royal family, he refused the Southern Song people to participate in the sacrifices in the capital in the name of the Ministry of Ritual. After the Song people took control of the court, they naturally suppressed it. The minister of rituals simply hid at home and pretended to be sick. When the Song clan was defeated and the Long family entered the court, he thought that the Long family was from a military court. He was completely blind to all aspects of the court. The minister went to the Long Family again, and wanted to join the Long Family camp, but was blocked by Long Posheng. Not only did the Song people look down on the former Minister of Rites, but also the Long Po from a military background. Minister,
The reason is simple. At the time Long Yang, the former Patriarch of the Long Family, died in Yanzhou. The court condemned Long Yang most fiercely as the Minister of Ritual. Even the Long Family’s title was given to him by the former Minister of Ritual. How could Nichen be dismissed because he had a title? Now this Lord Hong Leong wants to switch to the Long Family. Long Po did not directly order him to be killed. He is already good-tempered, but he will definitely not be allowed to stay with the Minister of Etiquette. In this way, Yu Fenglong spent another month in the court controlled by the Long family. He thought that there would be no chance again. Master Yu Fenglong, who was already prepared to return to his hometown in frustration, suddenly heard the news that the emperor was in the capital. Keenly grasped the huge opportunity in it
Other ministers are still hesitating, afraid to offend the Long Family, and dare not send people to the Imperial Capital. What else is he afraid of? Although it was heard that the steppe people and the imperial-controlled areas were extremely chaotic, and that the imperial area was very rude to the nobles of Central and Biya, the former minister of ceremonies went straight to the imperial capital, and was robbed by robbers along the way. He was so scared that he was finally considered to be. Prior to the reaction of the ministers, he was the first to come to the emperor's side, and saw such a loyal minister coming from the south of the river. The emperor also had mixed feelings, and immediately appointed him again as the minister of rituals, and was responsible for presiding over this return from the south.
The Long of the Holy Family is still above Li Long, the first person to welcome the emperor’s return
"Master Yu Fenglong is back!"
In a compound ten miles away from the big river, more than a dozen ministers dressed in Chinese and Bahia court clothes were walking around anxiously, and some people raised their heads to look at the sun above them, muttering something in their mouths. , At this time, I saw a purple robe of Yu Fenglong coming in from outside, and immediately anxiously poured up
"How? That despicable Li Jiazi has a way?" someone asked eagerly
"What else can he do? I went to the river to take a look just now. "Yu Fenglong's voice paused on purpose
"How? What's the situation on the river, how many refugees are there, but I heard that the length of the refugees' crossing the river has extended to Xiajiang City, which is more than 20 miles away, with such a long crossing of the river, I’m afraid it’s almost the same after I’ve left for the past few days! The ministers who have been surrounding have become anxious.
""Almost? Hehe, the ministers who surrounded Yu Fenglong's mouth with smiles described what they had seen, "Don't say three or five days, I'm afraid it won't take ten days! Everyone relaxes, Li Jiazi thinks he is welcoming back. The first person of the emperor, but didn’t know that the emperor had already hated him"
"Haha, that's fine, it's fine if you can't make it!" Hearing that there are so many people on the river, someone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"If he let his Li family take your Majesty back easily like this, how can it seem that we are in danger to welcome your Majesty back home!" Yu Fenglong's eyes flashed with a sharp chill, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly to The other ministers waved their hands. "Your Majesty has been reminded three times a day. Just this morning, a guard of the Li family said that the river channel would not be able to pass for three or five days, and he was furious. He dragged it down and hit thirty boards, and threw it to Li Jiazi like a dead dog. As long as he dragged it for a period of time, even if Li Long was the first minister, the emperor would angrily order him to be punished. It’s enough for the news to go back to the south"
"Adults are wise, it's ridiculous that Li Jiazi thought he had done a great job, and the adults just used a small trick to drag the word, and let everything he did was lost."
“It’s ridiculous that the entire South now believes that the emperor’s return must be the reuse of the Li family. All parties are enthusiastic about the Li family again. The gate of the Li family, which has been in a crowd for several years, is already a scene of traffic jams. I would never have thought that your Majesty would not want to see the Li family rise again." A minister said with an exhilarating expression, his eyes are bright
"Who said no? This time, Li Long’s contribution to welcoming the emperor alone is too great. Although his majesty has not returned to the court, but the news is returned, everyone can see it. This time, the Li family It is about to regain, and the limelight is probably even worse, because there were still four main gates in the past, but now, the Zhang clan has perished, and the Tang clan is almost extinct. There is only one Song clan in the south that has shrunk back, and the Li family is already the four main gates. The only thing left is that if you let another part of it soar to the sky, wouldn’t it be impossible to erect another dragon’s family! "Yu Fenglong has a smile on his face and has been minister of the Ministry of Rites for so many years. What he needs most is to observe the emperor’s words and expressions. How could he not find the emperor’s appearance? I am not very grateful to Li Long, and even a bit embarrassed in his eyes,
But think about it too
The emperor couldn’t have suddenly appeared in the Imperial Capital out of thin air. For the past six months, the emperor kept silent about where he was, but there are only two possibilities. The emperor was either captured by the Yelu family and seized secretly, or For some reason, he was taken as a slave by the Yelu family and brought to the Imperial Capital.
On a certain occasion, I saw Li Long dare to identify himself, but Li Long picked up a big deal
The emperor would have a good life as a slave in the steppe area. The ministers have also heard that the Zhongbian people in the steppe area did not even have the same status as livestock. It is conceivable that the emperor was What an embarrassing and desolate sight that Li Long saw. If the emperor has no chance to go back, then this will be the case, but now it’s different. The extreme is about to return to the south. The home peace talks, forcing Yelu to be released back to so many Chinese and Bianlian people, also quickly raised an unattainable height
"Holy King"
This is what the various parties in China and Biyah said to the emperor. Once the emperor’s situation is leaked out by Li Long, the name of this eternal sage may hang. Li Long is the first person to welcome the emperor’s return. , This credit is really great. The Li clan once again controls the court. The emperor who is holding the handle does not want to see it~ IndoMTL.com~ The ministers who have just gained power do not want to see it
At the beginning, I finally caught the Li Yuehua incident. The emperor and the ministers worked together to pull the Li family from the position of the head of the civil servants. Now how can the Li family easily climb up again, since everyone is not If you are willing to see the rise of the Li family, then the best way is to make a fuss about the "Return to the South",
Although I dare not blatantly squeeze out Li Long, the situation of deliberately exerting pressure on Li Long like this is not once or twice. I just want to put a hat that delays the emperor’s return to the south on Li Long’s head. Yes, only in this way can we show everyone’s loyalty for the emperor to return to the south, risking his life and death, and entering the north of the big river that has changed the color of the south,
Welcoming the emperor to the south, everywhere is boiling. Whether it is courts or provinces, they strongly demand to take back the holy king. This is an unstoppable trend. Even the Long Family, who has always been dead for this matter, The emperor had to choose to compromise after his head was overwhelmed. The emperor who had been put on the halo of the holy king looked very eye-catching towards Li Long, who had seen him in a state of embarrassment that day.
Others don’t know how the emperor appeared in the Imperial Capital. Li Long still doesn’t know? What happened in the past six months, I'm afraid that only the emperor and Li Long will know. This is the terrible place
Yu Fenglong thought that if he changed the situation that he was in the emperor, he would also wish to send Li Long, a knowledgeable person, to a place where he would never see him immediately. Since the emperor thinks what he thinks, he still needs What to worry about! Just pour dirty water on Li Long. The harder you pour, the happier the emperor will be. This is enough. I believe that the emperor will return to the court and the person who becomes the first contributor is himself. I have not seen the emperor appoint the person responsible for the return of the south. It was himself, not Li Long, which means that the emperor didn’t mean to let Li Long go back with him,
