Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: One hundred and thirty-six mediation


When I came to the living room and sat down carelessly, before Li Hong could speak, Shangguanyi hurriedly signaled to his son, and quickly took the granddaughter out to let His Royal Highness see.

Li Hong's purpose here is naturally also Shangguanyi's granddaughter, Shangguan Wan'er, the talented woman who is famous in history books!

Shangguan Wan'er, who was just two years old, came over at Li Hong with a pair of bright and cute eyes dangling.

Li Hong stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, teasing, and said: "She is also one year older than Taiping. Both look so cute."

On the other side of the summer solstice, when he saw Li Hong picking up the little girl, he took a piece of toffee from his pocket and smiled and handed it to the little girl.

Shangguanyi and Shangguan Tingzhi, including their wives, watched the approachable prince holding his granddaughter, and they were all happy from ear to ear. What a blessing, what a blessing for being so young by the royal family Pet.

Li Hong came here naturally on a whim. After teasing Shangguan Wan'er for a while, he gave it to Shangguan Tingzhi's wife. There were not many things that could be given to him by himself. Touching his body, there was nothing.

Suddenly hit the idea on Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, looked at the hairpins on their heads, one on each side was pulled off by him, and then handed it to Shangguanyi who hurriedly got up and took it.

Thinking about it, I still felt a little sorry, so he untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist without waiting for him to reach out and pass it.

Shangguanyi already came to him with Shangguan Wan'er, this royal reward, there is no way to refuse, Shangguanyi and others can only accept, no matter what the reward is, they have to follow it.

Just now, when I saw His Royal Highness Xie Yupei, Shangguanyi immediately understood. The two hairpins just now are excusable. Although they were rewarded by the Prince, they are ultimately the product of Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, regardless of the status of Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue. How noble the East Palace is, but it is not a royal person either.

But at this moment, if the jade pendant is solved, if the master is not allowed to come and accept it, it is because he is not strict in the official tutoring and does not know the etiquette.

Li Hong looked at Shangguan Wan'er, so he smiled and hung the jade pendant around Shangguan Wan'er's waist: "Hehe, take it and play."

"The minister waits for the gift from His Royal Highness." Shangguanyi and Shangguan Tingzhi quickly saluted.

"Okay, nothing is going on, Mr. Shangguan will send me out." Li Hong stood up, rubbed Shangguan Wan'er's head, and said with a smile.

Shangguan Tingzhi naturally didn't dare not follow, so she stood at the door and watched her father and His Royal Highness go out.

"Shall we take her to Chongwen Pavilion in two years? What do you think?" Li Hong said as he walked.

"So thank you, Your Highness." Shangguanyi said.

"You are also working under the gate now, have you received a letter of help from the Korean messenger?" Li Hong and Shangguan Yi went to the gate of the mansion and asked.

"I just received it today, but today's school, Zhongshu or Shangshusheng, are the top priority in the cloud of your disaster relief, His Royal Highness, not to mention that it was already very late when it arrived." Shangguanyi thought Said next.

"Well, what do you think of this matter?" Li Hong asked solemnly.

This matter needs to be discussed with these prime ministers above the court. I cannot be the master alone, and with Dai Zhide, he must strongly agree to send troops to Goryeo to help Quanxiancheng. Daquan boys regained the Wangcheng.

Furthermore, this is the case in history. The father sent Qihe Heli one after another, and then the British Gong Liji was sent there as the chief of the Liaodong Road March, and Qi Fu Heli was appointed as the deputy of the Liaodong Road March. The general manager and the ambassador of Liaodong Road appeasement.

Shangguanyi has followed Li Hong for many years, and can basically know some of Li Hong's thoughts. After thinking about it, he asked: "His Royal Highness, do you mean that you don't plan to send troops to assist them?"

Li Hong looked up at the stars in the night sky, sighed and said, "We fought there since the previous dynasty. In the time of Grandpa Emperor, we also fought there. We have been fighting over there for so many years. I know, you want me to say that I am a realist, Liaodong is the place I must have in the Tang Dynasty, but what happens after I get it? Over the years, it has been repeated, whether it is Goryeo or Baekje’s Fuyufeng, or Silla, what is their purpose? It is very simple, it is to defeat the other two opponents and unify Liaodong together. But this place is a poor country and remote place. To my Datang, whether it is politics, economy, or military, it is of little significance. ."

Shangguanyi stared at Li Hong’s face. He knew that the prince had always been practical, and he loved the people as a child. He made a speech in the court and silenced the officials, although his majesty still decided to send troops for Gaoli. Liu Rengui and others used the blood donations of soldiers over there to protect Korea for a while...

"Between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Nowadays, Goryeo is under the joint attack of Silla and Baekje. I hope that my husband can support me. I will not send troops to Goryeo, but I can help Goryeo. Provide enough food, grass and weapons, even..." Li Hong looked at Shangguanyi’s face and said: "I can even allow the Japanese to send Tang envoys to my Datang to study, but the condition is that they must send troops to attack and contain Silla and Silla. Baekje."

Shangguanyi was silent for a long time. For a while, she couldn't figure out all the meaning of His Royal Highness, and he hesitated: "What is your Royal Highness's intention? Can you tell all the ministers?"

Li Hong waved his hand and signaled Shangguanyi to stroll with him on the street, followed by the carriage and Xia Zhi and others.

Li Hong said lightly: "It's very simple. Let the Liaodong Province fall into a continuous war of attrition, and let Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje contain each other. And we will move the center of gravity to the west, and Tubo has repeatedly requested My father, I hope to be able to live animal husbandry in Heyuan within Tuyuhun. Last year, my father refused. In the final analysis, they just want us to admit that Tuyuhun has been ruled by them, and Tubo has always been a thief. Now the country is systematically conducting conscriptions and food. Matter, this is not a phenomenon that is content with the status quo."

"Then...Is your Highness planning to withdraw Liu Renyuan who is now in Liaodong and the others?"

"Do not withdraw, leave some troops in Goryeo, just behave, support them mentally to fight against Silla and Baekje, and send more people to infiltrate Silla and Baekje to destroy their alliance." Li Hong stopped, and Shangguanyi looked even older under the dim light.

"The minister has one last request, please tell me the truth." Shangguanyi thought for a while and said solemnly.

"Sir, just ask."

"His Majesty, how did you judge that Tubo would make a big move? In the past two years, they showed full sincerity, and His Majesty did not pursue them. What's more, before your Majesty's departure, he has just named the original King Tuyuhun. Murong Nuo is now king. Could it be that Tubo would really risk meeting with Tang's war and ignoring His Majesty's warning?" Shangguanyi was surprised and puzzled by Li Hong's prediction of Tubo behavior.

In his thinking, it should be: Because His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty named Murong Nuo Hubo the king, it means that Datang is ready to help Murong Nuo Hubo rebuild the country. Tubo should be afraid of the force of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, and then send The messenger came to explain their sincerity to your majesty.

Instead of saying to His Royal Highness, prepare to fight against Datang by force.

Li Hong lowered his head and smiled helplessly, and said again: "Tuyuhun is now under the actual control of Tubo, which shows that we are now two countries close to Tubo! The four towns of Anxi have always been in our hands. Instability, this is nothing new. Qiuci, Broken Leaf, Khotan, and Shule have always been shrouded in wind and rain. We just stand up, just stand up, see-saw-like, and never really handle it. They are in their hands. Today, in Liaodong Province, we still have a buffer zone of Goryeo to prevent Silla and Baekje from being able to border my Datang, but Anzai and Tuyuhun survive in name. We are now facing Tubo, if we don’t To suppress, we will lose more than the four towns of Anxi!"

Finally, Li Hong's tone is getting more and more urgent, and at the same time full of helpless pain, but in Shangguanyi's view, these are still somewhat inexplicable.

History has always been invisible to the future. Shangguanyi would never understand Li Hong’s prophet. Tubo has always been a wolf ambition. Relying on the plateau terrain, Tang soldiers are not suitable for fighting. They have regarded it as a paradise for taking and taking. .

Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty in name, Tubo is more like the masters there. Pei Xingjian, Li Jingxuan, Wang Fangyi, including Heifang Changzhi, these people have no deterrent power in the hearts of the Tubo people, and they are far inferior to the veteran Su Dingfang, The deterrence of Liu Rengui and others against Tubo was great.

Now, history has given Li Hong such a good opportunity. If his father Li Zhi is not in the court, he will supervise the country. Then he has the right and obligation to correct the detours in the original history, instead of following history. Walk the trajectory again~IndoMTL.com~ In that case, Li Hong feels that his ninth reincarnation or tenth life is useless, but it seems extremely ridiculous.

Shangguanyi looked at Li Hong’s suddenly sad and angry face. He suddenly felt that he did not know the prince as he imagined. At least the prince, in his own memory, was the only one in the court that year. .

After thinking for a long time, Shangguanyi sighed deeply and said: "Okay, the minister supports His Royal Highness."

"Okay! Then Li Hong would like to thank Mr. Li." Li Hong hurriedly got into the carriage after saluting the official ceremony.

After waving his hand, Li Hong said lightly after the carriage turned, "Go to Yang Sijian's house."

Li Hong has made up his mind. Today, no matter what, he has to take down the third grades of the two part-time Donggong scholars, so that he can occupy a strong position when discussing matters in the court.

The three provinces of Sect, Zhongshu, and Shangshu, plus six, he believes that if he makes good use of it, he will be able to get the results he wants!

(ps: Thank you allen-li for the big monthly pass encouragement!)
