Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Eight hundred and twenty-three Shelong

She Long controlled himself not to care about Lin Shiling's eyes that were substantive, disgusting and hairy in his heart, and a pair of muddy old eyes stared straight at a court lady not far in front, until the light of Lin Shiling and Quan After Yi left, She Long's stiff body was obviously relaxed.

"His Royal Highness, since there are guests from my Datang who are here, how about letting Inuzi Xinuluo come to greet him? So I don't seem to be ignorant of etiquette and sincere because of this matter." She Long When speaking, the frequency of his beard movement seemed to Li Hong more than his mouth.

"No, it's not a heavy court official. There is no need to greet them with great fanfare, lest the thoughtful and solemn manners spoil them, and it will be difficult to control them in the future." Li Hong motioned to She Long to continue drinking tea, and then he took it up. The teacup tastes relaxed.

She Long looked at the unexplained smile on Li Hong’s face, and his heart trembled for no apparent reason. He came by himself today just to understand straightforwardly that the Prince of Tang Dynasty came to Nanzhao to stay here instead of leaving. What purpose.

But so far he has found nothing and still hasn't got a clear answer.

Fortunately, between the lines of the conversation with the prince, he still learned some information, that is, the Tang Dynasty was very dissatisfied with the current Liuzhao, and colluded with the Princess Fangling of Jiannan Road, and ate the inside and outside. Zhenla traded privately, and even the Tibetan affairs had been mentioned by the prince.

He didn't want to believe that His Royal Highness told him this. He planned to use the five thousand troops stationed in Taihe City to showdown with them, but His Royal Highness didn't mention anything else, and didn't say how to deal with it, only these Nanzhao's Criminal evidence.

This made him feel more and more flustered in his heart, and he couldn't help but start thinking about the worst, that is, to imitate the Tibetans and use the Tang people to control and govern the six edicts.

She Long held a teacup and stopped at his mouth, looking at the leisurely and contented Prince Li Hong, shook his head and drank a sip of tea, and then couldn't help but start saying: "His Royal Highness, since you sent troops here a few years ago, Liu Zhaozhi The land has always regarded me as the head of the Great Tang. Although there are occasional outliers in these years, the old officials dare to promise you that whether it is me, Shi Langzhao, Yuexi Zhao, my loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is as always... ."

"As I said before, I believe that when you served as Meng Shezhao, I was very relieved of this area of ​​Lingnan Road, but after you passed it to Xinuluo, I couldn’t believe it. Loyal to Datang."

"Your Majesty, don’t worry, whether you are an old minister or Xinuluo, your loyalty to Datang is a lesson from heaven and earth. There is no two-heartedness, or what the minister said just now. Liuzhao sent troops from you a few years ago. After this trip, Liuzhao began to be proud of the Tang people. Whether facing the temptation of Zhenla or the temptation of the Tibetans, Liuzhao has always been unmoved, only knowing that he is a Tang, not Nanzhao. The meaning of the country." She Long put down the cup and looked at Li Hong and said solemnly.

"That's how it is said, but the court has never been able to have no right to this..."

When She Long heard Li Hong say this, her heart trembled again, and he interrupted Li Hong's words regardless of impoliteness and said: "His Royal Highness, whether you are here or other officials of the court, Liuzhao has always been a Shangguan. , Treating you more in the way of the emperor, never dared to disobey or despise any official of the Tang court."

"But when court officials came here, they have never had a good end. Either they were transferred back due to mistakes in less than three years, or they died inexplicably contracted diseases. In the past two years, whether it was in the land of Liuzhao or Jiannan In the land of Taoism, rangers are everywhere and diseases are raging. The imperial court has lost 37 officials in Chengdu Mansion, which is still the place of six imperial edicts. These are all coincidences?" Li Hong put down his cup, his eyes changed. He became solemn, looked at She Long's old face and said.

She Long moved his lips, but finally did not choose to argue.

Of course he knows what happened to those court officials who violated the system or died of illness.

Since he passed his throne to Sinuror, all of this has happened several times every year, and this silently makes the officials disappear, or gathers several people to write a thousand-word book "screaming injustice", thus making The imperial court officials here were dismissed for violation of the system, or killed by the rangers. All of this in the Chengdu Mansion and the Liuzhao Land has become the only way they have tried and tested against officials sent by the imperial court.

"Datang’s tax system, military service, household registration, mulberry field, etc., have never been involved in the Liuzhao land. The appointment and dismissal of officials is impassable due to natural and man-made disasters, or officials’ diseases or violations of the system. Do you think the court will Don’t worry about such a place, independent of my Datang’s legal system?” Costin’s damaged feathers in Chengdu hadn’t grown up yet, and hadn’t recovered to its original glamorous appearance, so he was sent out by Li Hong to start “work” "Again.

Received the envelope on Costin’s tough legs like steel bars, patted Costin’s head, and watched Costin’s tweet at Sheron’s demonstration before reluctantly. Fly away.

Li Hong turned his head and read the secret letter in his hand, while continuing to say faintly: "Since Liuzhao returned to my Datang, the court has provided a large amount of funding here every year, whether it is money or food, but the court can Have you ever received a sum of money from Nanzhao in terms of taxation and so on? If you add the grain and grass smuggled here from Jiannan Road, I roughly estimate it, plus the grain and grass produced by Liuzhao, and now the grain and grass on record , Even if all the people in the entire Liuzhao didn't eat or drink, they could eat for five or six years! But...Xinuluo told me that Nanzhao lacked food, and the people didn't choose food or clothing when they were hungry. Why?"

"So what does your highness mean?" She Long surprisingly didn't argue, but asked rather helplessly.

"It's very simple. You have always been close to the Tibetans and are close neighbors. Now the Tibetans have been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. Their people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, but it is history that they are hungry and not sheltered. Now, all of this is based on the efforts of Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai, and the two you just met. Could it be Wang Tu in the world, or Wang Chen, if a little Liu Zhao has been free from Outside of the rule of law in the Tang Dynasty, is this...Is the territory of the Tang Dynasty? This people...is it the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Hong looked at the shocked She Long with satisfaction, and again took the initiative to pour tea into She Long's empty cup, and this time, Li Hong even poured the tea flush with the edge of the cup.

If She Long wants to pick up and drink tea without spilling a drop of the tea poured by the prince himself, he must first drink the tea from the edge of the cup until he can pick it up.

She Long’s eyes slowly moved from Li Hong’s face to the cup that was about to overflow, and he moved his lips. He did not thank Li Hong again, but murmured: “In this way, Your Highness will How to deal with the old officials and others? The old officials believe that His Royal Highness is not a cruel monarch. Liuzhao is governed by officials of the Tang Dynasty. Presumably, we and others will not be reused by His Highness?"

"Then it depends on how the matter of Liuzhao is solved. If it can be solved with one soldier and one soldier, as Liuzhao nobles, the court will naturally not forget your credit, Datang nobles A wealthy family does not have ten thousand households, but there are thousands. Do you still care about how many households there are?" Li Hong still looked at Shelong's cup and made a please gesture.

"His Royal Highness, do you intend to use these five thousand soldiers and horses to bring earth-shaking changes to the Liuzhao? Although the troops are fine but small, I am afraid that Xinuluo will not easily agree." She Long was a little bit disheartened. Looking at the palace, this was originally the place where he lived with Xinuluo and Sheng Luoyan, but since the prince arrived, it has become his residence. The three of his grandchildren have been driven out of the palace by him.

"At that time, I confiscated only 10,000 people from the Tibetan region, but I killed one in the Tibetan region and went in and out, until I lived in the white palace. Now I have lived in the palace. The three princes of the Kingdom of Zhenla were robbed. Isn’t this the iron proof that the enemies inside and outside the country? Collusion with the Tibetans is also iron proof. No matter which side I have a reason to govern Liuzhao, isn’t it? I admit that Liuzhao is the territory of my Datang. In this way, if I don't know how strong I am, it will take some time." Li Hong sneered, and then watched She Long bowed his head and drank tea. It wasn't until the tea was not spilled out when it was picked up, and then it was picked up slowly~ IndoMTL.com~ The old minister could not guarantee anything. Although the minister voluntarily passed the throne to Sinuruo, if it weren't for him, the old minister It won't be passed to him so quickly. Although the old minister is old, his body has always been strong and strong. Even now, there will be no big problems in fighting in the four directions. "Lao Shelong drank the tea in his hand, then put down the cup and got up, saluted Li Hong solemnly, looked at the main hall of the palace, and then left.

Li Hong didn't get up, watching Lao Shelong's steps suddenly become more vigorous, and quickly walked out of the palace a long way, until his back had disappeared for a long time, then he slowly got up and walked to the door.

Lin Shiling and Quan Yi, with Yang Sijian and others, hurriedly rushed from outside to the palace.

Although Quan Yi only brought two thousand people with him this time, Li Hong was satisfied that the two thousand soldiers were not only from the Tang Dynasty, but also mixed with about 30% of the Tibetans and Tibetans. For Li Hong, other pastoral soldiers made him much happier than an army made up of all Chinese people.

"Chen Quanyi and Lin Shiling have seen His Royal Highness." The two saluted Li Hong who was still standing at the door again.

Li Hong waved his hand casually, and then slowly walked to Yang Sijian: "Whether you participated in the rebellion of Yang Zhirou or Li Jingye back then, I will not pursue it anymore. The purpose of coming here must be this way. You might have already guessed that Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai were able to make a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty in Tibet, and you must be able to make a political achievement no less than his. I am in the land of Liuzhao. To help you with your worries, I will give you a place to display your talents, but... if you Yang Sijian can't give me the results I want, you can deal with it yourself."

"Chen...Chen Ding will live up to your Highness's entrustment!" Yang Sijian thumped and knelt on the ground and said plausibly.
