Power and Empire Chapter 3074: Nan Fenglie (2)
Just when the Zhongbia court was frustrated by the refugees going south, Li Long was standing on an imperial warship riding the wind and waves, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait that was retreating like a flying shuttle. For the first time, he said in his heart Uneasy, he returned to the Southern Court without a recall order. Li Long seemed to be able to see the faces of the ministers in shock, but as far as Li Long was concerned, there was no fear at all, this time , He represented the empire who came to ask the court to fulfill the agreement signed between the empire and the Long family. It is conceivable that when the court saw this completely one-sided agreement, what kind of expression would it look like
If this is not the case, how can you be worthy of the insult that the Li family suffered some time ago!
Li Long's eyes flickered, his hands clasped together, standing on the bow of the imperial battleship, his body was straight, a trace of strong hatred flashed in his eyes, he was obviously welcoming the emperor, but in the end he returned south as the emperor. The first contributor was others, and the court ministers, after learning the news of the emperor’s abandonment of themselves, had a difference in attitude towards the Li family. In the early part of the period, there was still a lot of traffic, and it was as lively as when the Li Clan was the most prosperous. In the blink of an eye, there was a bird at the door. One by one couldn’t wait to clear up the relationship with the Li family. It seemed that the word Li family was stained with it, which means bad luck. Everyone is afraid to avoid it.
When I went back this time, I let the whole court really know what the Li family is!
The fleet went south along the tributary of the big river. After two days of sailing, it arrived at Baoqing City at the end of the tributary. The sudden visit of the three imperial warships made the faces of the officials of Central and Bahia in Baoqing City pale. With the unique shape of the battleship, the harbor was filled with all kinds of people watching the excitement. With the news, the news of Li Long’s return from the south was also delivered to the Central and Biya Court as quickly as possible.
"What, Li Long is coming back?" The ministers looked at each other, and no one thought that Li Long was mad this time because he had eaten the bear heart and leopard gall,
"Without your majesty's order, if Li Long came back like this, he was deceiving the king?" In the prime minister's cabinet, Yu Fenglong, who had just been appointed as the prime minister of the court, snorted with a heavy and sullen face, "Go on, Li Longyi Enter the scope of Xinjing and arrest immediately first!"
"Your Majesty, what did Li Long say is that he is also the head of the Li family, one of the four main gates. Isn't this done? The update is the fastest..." The ministers hesitated, some of them said, "Although the Li family is already weak , But the so-called big tree has deep roots, the head of the Li family for more than a hundred years of civil servants, and the protégés do not know how much. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is spread throughout China and Biya, even if it is now weak, but it has local influence It's still not small, especially Li Tai, the old patriarch of the Li family, is still alive, who has been in charge of the court for nearly forty years. As long as this person is still there, although the Li family is weak, it is definitely not in the situation where the tree falls and the hustle and bustle are scattered. Just because he returned south without authorization, he pressed the Li family to death. No one can guarantee that the Li family will not break out an appalling counterattack. For example, the Li family, who has passed on for hundreds of years, is not among them. I am afraid that not many people can know the bottom line of what people know."
"What are you afraid of? The removal of the Li family is not the mind of Yu Fenglong alone, but the intention of your majesty. With such support, what are you worried about!" Yu Fenglong glanced over the ministers with expressions. He said coldly and sternly, "The Long Family just stabbed us in the back. The emperor's anger has not yet subsided, and Li Long has come up with this. The Li Family is looking for death by himself, so I can't blame others!"
"Your Majesty wants to kill the Li Family!" The ministers' eyes froze at the same time. Although they knew that the emperor did not want the Li family to resurrect, he did not expect that the emperor would even have the idea of killing the Li family. , Yu Fenglong opened his mouth, and what he buckled was a big hat that deceived the king. This was a crime full of crimes, and even the Li family could not hold it. This is really going to kill the Li family!
"This matter, everyone knows it well, the saint’s mind is not something I can figure out at will!"
Yu Fenglong took a deep breath, stood up, looked at the sky outside the palace with his hands behind his back, sighed and said, "Li Long knows that there is no possibility of returning to the south. Take some sympathy, I hope everyone will read a little bit of old feelings, I am afraid that it is really hard to say that Li Long will return to the south again,
The ministers looked silent, too. How can people stay in places like the north bank of the Dahe Dao? At any time, because they are not pleasing to the eyes of the Yelv family, they may grab their heads and beheaded, or they will hate the nobles of China. The empire, as the chicken that kills the chickens! Now there is even more riots on the big river. The road leading to the north bank has been cut off except for the waterway.” “I heard that the guards around Li Long were completely disappointed in the Li family, and they all fled back in despair. An empty-shelled person in charge of the North Coast of China-Bialand is afraid that even eating will be a problem. Everyone can understand Li Long’s sympathy, but the Li family, one of the four main gates of China-Bialand, was so powerful in those days. The work of only a few years is now on the verge of ruin. It is pitiful, sigh, and deserves it. If the four gates remain unshakable and withered, how can there be the rise of me now! "What the emperor meant, what else can the ministers say,
"If the Li family does not fall, it is also a hidden danger for everyone"
Yu Fenglong's eyes flickered across the ministers' faces, and the corners of his mouth grinned, "The matter of Yang He, Li Long is back this time, I'm afraid I can't hide it!"
"Yanghe!"
The expressions of the ministers all changed all together. This sentence is really condemning. In the court, the emperor was coaxed to order a hundred thousand troops to be stationed in Yanghe to prevent the refugees from attacking the private fields of the ministers. Once this happened Li Long revealed that the emperor would not stop if he didn't kill a few people!
"No matter what the Li family is, it is always the rich family to the north. How we treat the Li family now, once the Li family gains power, it will not spare us." A minister gritted his teeth grimly,
"Yes, you must not give the north a chance! Li Long must not return to the court!" Another minister said with a categorical expression. Most of these ministers were from the background of the southern aristocracy, because the imperial capital was broken twice. The northern aristocracy has long since withered, and the wealth accumulated for several generations was robbed by the prairie people in the broken city. The elites in the family were also killed and wounded in the two wars. The northern faction, which originally belonged to the mainstream of the Chinese court, was early. No longer able to restrain the rise of the aristocracy in the south, and even declining to withdraw from the core of power. Even the Li family is so embarrassed. It is conceivable that the remaining northern factions are now in what situation
Now that the southern nobles are in power, how can they let the North show up again! And the representative of the North is undoubtedly the Li family
The court ministers reached a consensus and were preparing to issue the order to capture Li Long. The definite news from Baoqing City also came. This time there are three Imperial Dragon Tooth warships escorting Li Long south, five hundred An imperial soldier, Li Long did not land, but has always been on the three Imperial Dragon Tooth battleships. It seems that Li Long also knows very well that as long as he gets off the imperial battleship, he will be immediately detained by the local government. But now the Empire On the battleship, the local government didn’t have the slightest way to do it. They were bold enough to try to send a team of officials there, but they were stopped by the emperor before they boarded the ship.
"This is a little troublesome"
Hearing this news, Yu Fenglong's face became ugly, walking around in the palace, he didn't expect Li Long to be the **** of the emperor's army, although only five hundred people, it was Once the regular army of the empire captured Li Long by force, it might be possible to go to war with the empire. Since the Fengtai Department, everyone knows how serious the consequences of provoking the empire will be, not to mention that the empire still weighs 100,000 yuan on the west road of the emperor. The army, the Yelu family on the north side of the Dahe Dao, also bowed their heads to the empire. If the 300,000 army of China and Bahia were still there, or they could still clamor for a battle, the Long family would now evade two-thirds of the army in one fell swoop, with only 100,000 troops. To pretend to have a strong expression with the empire, the ministers all feel that their backs are cold
Finally reached an armistice agreement with Yelu's family. Is it impossible to turn around and go to war with the empire! When Yu Fenglong was hesitating, a minister said, "The Prime Minister, although we can't catch Li Long directly, we can change it. The people of the Li family are still easy to catch. As long as we have chips in our hands, we don’t worry about Li Long jumping. Come out"
"You mean the people who arrested the Li family came to threaten Li Long?"
Yufenglong's eyebrows are slightly frowned together. It is undeniable that this method is feasible, but it is a bit despicable, but it is a very tricky method in extraordinary times! As long as you can keep Li Long from speaking, it's best to return to the north of the big river by yourself, then it's not a big deal to grab a few people from the Li family as a bargaining chip! Anyway, the Li family is weak, what can we do? When Li Long is caught, even if the Li family is completely finished! Yu Fenglong walked to the table, took the brush and wrote an order, stamped his prime minister’s seal on the spot, and then took the order to the minister who made the suggestion, reached out and handed it to him, and said "immediately Go ahead, remember, don’t miss the wind!"
"Understood!" The minister accepted the order and nodded with deep understanding. He knew what Yu Fenglong meant. After all, the Li family was also one of the four main gates. Once people know that the court arrested Li People from the family came to threaten Li Long, especially to let those local officials who have a good relationship with the Li family know that it might cause a lot of trouble.
With a snap, in the cabin, Li Long put down his pen and stretched his muscles hard. A servant had been standing by for a long time, and Li Long handed a letter on the table to the servant, condensed. Said "Give this to the local government"
"Yes"
The servant took the letter and left. Li Long walked out of the cabin and took a deep breath. He looked at the nearby Baoqing City. His expression was complicated. The sparkling river water rushed against the stone steps on the pier. Countless white lines spread to both sides. The one sent away just now was a copy of the agreement signed between the Empire and the Dragon Rank. Li Long thought of the shock of the court ministers when they saw this copy, and he felt a desire for greatness. The urge to laugh
The emperor of Zhongbia who turned his back on the Li family, this time also tasted how it was like being turned away,
In that agreement, China and Bahrain used trade tax as collateral, and the control of six port cities. If it is implemented, then China and Bahia’s finances will be reduced by one-third, and The imperial merchants invaded the market of China and Biyah. In the volatility of the impact of the refugees, they made a lot of money. Not to mention that Long Po, in order to retaliate, embarrassed him for several months. I accepted all the conditions proposed, and even deliberately stumbled upon the court,
That is the Yangshui area, which has completely become the private property of the Yangshui River by the ministers of the Chinese and Bianlian courts. I am afraid that I have never thought that it has been swiped by Long Po casually, so I added a general to the agreement. Part of the land south of the river channel was mortgaged to the empire in exchange for a bargaining chip for direct transportation of grain to the southwest. Among them, almost all of the Yanghe area is located
This is interesting. Li Long naturally knew the truth about Yang He. When he saw this, his first feeling was toothache! Long Po is really bold and dare to do it, but also, the Long Family has completely abandoned the plan of entering the Central Biya Court, it does not matter to offend people, but it weakens the power of the Central Biya Court more ruthlessly. The more beneficial it is to the Long Family, just doing so blatantly, it really makes Li Long feel that the world has changed so incredible,
Although he did not have the slightest affection for Long Po himself, Li Long also had to admit that this time, Long Po was a big grievance for the Li family this time. In the negotiation between the empire and the Long family, this The dragon-level lord was extremely refreshed, or he really gave up the idea of being in charge of Zhongbia, so he also played down the hatred attitude between the Li family and the Long family invisibly, and Li Long also saw the number one in Zhongbia. How deep is the resentment of the celebrities towards the entire Zhongbia court
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Long would not believe it if he was killed. In the negotiation, the person who calmly signed an agreement that almost sold out the interests of China and Bahrain was the leader of the Southwest Dragon family and the grassland people. The Patriarch of the Long Family who has fought fiercely for more than two years, the Long Pa who is known as the ridge of the firmament of Zhongbia!
The content of that text is really crazy
Even Li Long who sent the text had to be protected by the emperor before he could go south. After arriving in the south, he even dared not get off the deck of an imperial warship. Only under the protection of 500 imperial soldiers, Li Long To feel a sense of security
Although I know that the Zhongbian imperial court dare not go to war with the empire, who dares to say that the emperor of Zhongbia who is greatly stimulated will not go crazy! There are imperial warships, at least in the river waters where you want to go! It is Li Long’s idea that the agreement text that should have been sent to the Southern Chaotang in person~IndoMTL.com~ can’t go south in the middle,
On the third day of June, in the political affairs hall of the Zhongbia Court
Xia Ye cicada cried, and the Minister of Internal Affairs Cai Long was wearing a Gebu mid laner. In the still cold night, he reviewed the documents that would be sent to the court meeting on the next day. There was a layer of sweat, and the two picturesque maids behind him slapped him gently. The meeting tomorrow is the first meeting of the emperor's palace after returning from the south. The weight is imaginable, and there is absolutely no room for it. Even if someone below has seen the mistakes, Cai Long will personally review them one by one
"Master, this is from Baoqing City urgently!" A servant walked in with a newspaper,
"Put it there"
Cai Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't pay too much attention, and waved his hand to the servant. Since Li Long arrived, the government of Baoqing City has been nervous. After all, the three imperial warships were parked on the pier, the entire pier. They are all under martial law by imperial soldiers. No one is allowed to approach at will. Baoqing City is only an inland city. Where have you seen this kind of arrogant posture? Baoqing Zhizhou saw this posture, his legs were soft, and he reported every day, hoping for the stars and the moon. It is generally hoped that someone from the court will come early and take away the gang of emperors on the dock as soon as possible
Baoqing Zhizhou didn’t know that the court had no plans to meet with the empire. It was only during the day that they discussed using the Li family to blackmail Li Long. Naturally, he was even more disinterested in Baoqing’s requirements, and waited until Cai Long. After reviewing the meeting documents that need to be prepared, it was midnight and stretched out a lazy waist. Cai Long glanced at the Baoqingcheng newspaper that was placed in the corner, hesitated for a moment, did not pick it up, but casually said it. Blow out the lights on the table. If there is anything to see, it is impossible for the court to send someone to Baoqing to contact Li Long. Just drag it over there, and wait until the person from the Li family is caught, Li Long himself. I won’t sit still rw
