Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Li Yifu said: "What's wrong with me?"

"You are the sworn brother of King Donghua. Strictly speaking, there is no grudge between our two families. To be honest, it was beyond my expectation that you came to save me."

Li Yifu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "You mean... if I save you, it will be considered as a betrayal of my eldest brother, King Donghua?"

"Uh... If you want to talk about this matter, the old man is of course very grateful. But in the eyes of other people, I am afraid that many people will really think so."

Li Yifu said firmly: "I don't care what other people think, but I'm sure King Donghua definitely doesn't think so. In fact, the reason why I do this is because of my elder brother's teachings."

Zhang Liang said with an expression of disbelief, "Is this true? No way... Could it be that King Donghua reminded you to take care of the old man? You and King Donghua have not seen each other for more than ten years, unless he is really a prophet. "

"Of course it's not a prophet." Li Yifu said: "Of course, the elder brother didn't mention you specifically. It's just that before he left, he specifically explained to me that the brothers guarded against him outside the wall. We don't care about any internal disputes in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a conflict with outsiders, it must be consistent with the outside world."

Li You clapped his hands and exclaimed: "That's a good speech! To be honest, we Tang people are weak when we go overseas. If we continue to do our own thing, I'm afraid we will be defeated by the natives. In the eyes of the natives, it is impossible What Xun country, Wuyang country and Qi country."

Fang Yiai said: "King Qi's words are very agreeable to me. Although we are divided into several feudal kingdoms, we are all Tang people in essence. We share the same spirit, we lose at the age of one, and we prosper at the same time. If everyone sweeps the snow before their own doors , don’t care about other people’s tiles, it’s really over.”

The sworn enemies of the past have turned into inseparable allies.Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang couldn't help feeling excited for a while.

He said: "The old man has a proposal, our five feudal kingdoms are allied with blood. If someone attacks any country, it will be the enemy of our alliance. All countries will fight together!"

"This statement...isn't right." As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, a faint groan sounded from behind him.

People followed the reputation, but it turned out that the person who spoke was Liu Rengui, the commander of the Tang Army who came to the rescue, the governor of Guangzhou.

Zhang Liang said tentatively: "General Liu... don't misunderstand. This alliance is not aimed at Datang, it is only external... there is absolutely no disrespect to Datang..."

Liu Rengui laughed loudly, and said: "I have not misunderstood, it is you who misunderstood."

"What do you mean by that?"

"A certain family is not saying that you should not form this alliance, but that how can Datang be missing in this alliance?"

Zhang Liang was overjoyed and said, "You mean..."

"Could it be that Lord Xun thought that this official sent troops privately? Didn't he follow His Majesty's order? His Majesty said that you are entrusted to the South China Sea. It doesn't mean that you will be ignored in the future. You represent the face of Datang. Whoever is an enemy of all of you is an enemy of Datang!"

Speaking of this, Liu Rengui smiled sinisterly, spat out a few words between his teeth, and said: "Anyone who offends my Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!"

Zhang Liang said: "I see. General Liu means to change the Alliance of Five Nations into the Alliance of Six Nations and add Datang?"

"Hi! Lord Xun, your formulation is too petty." Liu Ren tracked: "What is the Six Nations Alliance? Could it be that His Majesty will not seal people in the South China Sea in the future? How is that possible? This alliance should be called the Hundred Nations Alliance!"

Fang Yiai said: "The name of the League of Hundred Nations is good. Our hundred nations are united, and we will stay in Nanyang forever!"

Chapter 8 There Are Fairy Mountains Overseas (1)

There is a family in Changshoufang in Chang'an City. The male owner of this family is Xu Yuanhua.

During the Zhenguan period, Xu Yuanhua was seduced by Cen Wenzhao, the younger brother of Cen Wenzhao, the servant of the central government, to go to a gambling game. In the end, he lost his wife and sister to others, and his family was almost destroyed.

In the end, thanks to the support of Guo Ye, Duke of Qin, who was in Chang'an at that time, he was spared this catastrophe.

He gained a lot of wisdom by eating a pit, and from then on Xu Yuanhua never dared to gamble again, and lived at home honestly, enjoying the family happiness to the fullest.

Three years later, Xu Yuanhua was happy to have a son named Xu Qinen to commemorate the kindness of King Guo Ye of Qin to their family.

Xu Qinen is Xu Yuanhua's only son, who has been doted on since he was a child, and dare not give the moon to the stars.Spent a very happy childhood and even adolescence.

As for youth?It was very happy just now.

There is business in the family, not to mention making money every day, it can also be said to be very rich.His parents didn't expect him to make great achievements, so they married him a daughter-in-law early.

Xu Qinen lives leisurely every day without any pressure.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Xu Yuanhua got a sudden illness and died.Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuanhua's wife, Xu Xingshi, was also overwhelmed with grief and passed away.

Ordinarily, this is not a big deal.Xu Qinen is already in his 20s, even if his parents passed away, he can't be considered an orphan.

Live how you want to live your life.

However, in fact, for Xu Qinen, there is a big difference between having parents and not having parents.

Although he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, there was one thing that Xu Yuanhua absolutely refused to let his son touch.

what thing?bet.

Xu Qinen had never touched anything related to gambling since he was a child.

Now that the old couple passed away, no one would stop him anymore.At the instigation of a few rascals, Xu Qinen entered the casino, but ended up getting out of hand—lost all of his family's property.

Without property, there is no source of livelihood. How can we live in this day?

Finally, in desperation, the Xu couple moved out of the Xu family compound in Changshoufang and rented a shabby room.

Xu Qinen started a small business with the money left from selling the house.

It's a pity that this guy really doesn't have much talent for doing business. After two or three years, he lost all the money from selling the house.

Seeing that the couple is about to break up.

Poor and lowly couples are sad about everything, Mrs. Xu looked at the empty rice vat, angry from the bottom of her heart, and scolded her husband for a while.

Xu Qinen knew he was wrong, so he sat on the bed without saying a word.

dong dong dong~

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Xu Qinen stood up and opened the door, only to find that it was a good friend of his, Zhang Xingyun, who knocked on the door.

"Xingyun, why are you here? Please come in! Please come in! My lady, hurry up and pour tea for Brother Zhang!"

"Hmph, what kind of tea? Our family hasn't seen tea for half a year, and it's not like you don't know it!"

Mrs. Xu put two cups of water heavily on the table, and said: "Brother Zhang, let's make an agreement, my family is almost out of rice now, don't expect to eat at my house today."

Xu Qinen looked embarrassed, and said: "Brother, I'm really sorry. I am incompetent as a brother, and I can't even support my wife...This treat...treat..."

While talking, his eyes were filled with tears, and he cried bitterly, saying: "What crime did I do, how did I get to this point?"

"Don't...don't...Brother Xu, don't cry!" Zhang Xingyun comforted: "As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. You still have a long life, so where will you go? Maybe one day you Time will come and go.”

Mrs. Xu snorted softly, and said: "It's okay to apply your words to other people, but it's not good to apply it to your elder brother Xu! I can see his two actions, why can't he do it, why should he turn around? It's because of my life that I married such a trash."

Zhang Xingyun's face darkened, and said: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How can you say that your husband is a waste?"
