Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

It's just that this abandonment of Zong Zan made another moth.

That is in addition to paying tribute to the Tang court.

At the same time, he also presented a big gift to Li Qiu and Furongyuan.

In terms of weight class, it is very enviable.

Already well beyond the specifications of the application.

It has even exceeded the amount of tribute paid by many dependent countries to Datang.

Unsurprisingly, his plan to flatter and kill Li Qiu put him on the cusp of the storm once again.

This kind of conspiracy, when used on Li Qiu, is really accurate.

It was almost an instant after Tubo made his move.

For Li Qiu's various memorials, Li Shimin's imperial study was piled up like snowflakes.

Among them, the lesser ones said that Li Qiu was disorderly and corrupt.

What's more serious is that it has to do with the king-level treatment that Li Qiu received in Tubo.

It is said that Li Qiu has the heart of disobedience.

In this general environment, the warrior Xun who had returned to Chang'an City warned Li Qiu with a worried face.

Talking about Tubo and their Zanpu is clearly out of good intentions.

In this court, it is not certain whether the courtiers who were bribed by Tubo to speak for them or framed you.

Moreover, things like these melon fields and plums are the most taboo things for powerful officials and generals.

Right now, the most important thing you should do is to enter the palace and personally plead guilty to His Majesty.

As for these precious gifts and jewelry from Tubo.

Don't be greedy.

Either dedicate it to His Majesty, or simply use it to help the people of Tang Dynasty.

In this way, we will not lose our tongues and not be too passive.

Li Qiu nodded again and again to the admonition from the warrior Xun.

He said that he also knew that this was a strategy entrusted by Tubo's abandoned sect Nongzan.

I can understand his thoughts.

But if I dare not accept this mere property, wouldn't I be laughed at by him?

Chapter 997 The power of self-preservation

That abandoned sect praised him, and he was about the same age as Li Qiu.

But a famous person in history.

So it's not just Qizong Nongzan who was shocked because of Li Qiu's age.

Li Qiu also has a faint intention to compete with him.

This kind of thing is like the confrontation between Wei and Wu back then.

What is fighting is the wiseness of the monarch.

Li Qiu had absolute confidence in His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he, who has always been deeply trusted, did not pay attention to Tubo's alienation plan at all.

This kind of thing is really disgusting, but it can't hurt me at all.

Seeing Li Qiu being so stubborn, the warrior Xun also knew that he couldn't persuade him for the time being.

During this period, Fang Xuanling, Chai Shao, Wei Zheng and others.

I also came to persuade Li Qiu.

Don't always be passive on the cusp of this storm and accept people's tongues.

But Li Qiujun didn't listen.

I am not guilty, why do I have to take the initiative to plead guilty?

As long as he was procrastinating, Li Shimin on the other side couldn't sit still.

Looking at these messy slanders and memoirs about Li Qiu all day long, he really couldn't see them.

So he ordered Li Qiu to come to court the next day.

Hearing this summoning, Li Qiu looked helpless.

I just rested for more than a month, and I haven't had enough fun yet.

In the end, I had to run back to the morning court again.

And if he goes to court, he has to return to Chang'an City to live.

It was a toss.

At this time, Wu Jue acted like a baby with great insight, and smiled and hugged Li Qiu's arm.

"Husband, there is an order from the palace for you to go to court tomorrow."

"It's only a day."

"My husband has been here for more than two years in a row, isn't it the same?"

"Moreover, now father and mother have returned to Chang'an."

"Wu Jue also wants to spend more time talking with them."

"Why don't we stay in Duke Ying's mansion at night, and save a lot of trouble?"

Since Wu Sui became pregnant, everyone, including Li Qiu, treated her as a national treasure.

Seeing that she begged so much, Li Qiu naturally agreed with a smile.

Afterwards, Wu Jue wanted to drag Luo Kexin along with him.

Saying that I am inconvenient now, and no one serves my husband at night, how can this work?

Luo Kexin declined with a smile, saying that she still had to take care of two children at home.

It seems that this important task can only be handed over to Yunzhong.

Now, the relationship between Li Qiu and Yun Zhong is no longer a secret.

Just waiting for the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, they can wait for the marriage between His Majesty and Empress.

Not only Yunzhong, but also Princess Gaoyang and Li Yin, who was named Princess Wencheng, were all the same.

In the evening, it was naturally an extremely sumptuous family banquet of the Wu family.

After eating, Wu Jue took Yun Zhong to his mother's place.

Let's talk about ourselves together.

Samurai Xun came to the study alone with Li Qiu.

Weng and his son-in-law talked about some political affairs.

And when they discussed the recent major events in the DPRK and China.

The warrior Xun suddenly said seriously, "Li Qiu."

"About the death of Xu De that you mentioned before."

"And the crown prince sent you to Tubo, and Princess Yunzhong accidentally captured the Tubo envoy."

"Tell me more about it."

Seeing the solemnity of what the warrior Xun said, Li Qiu also tried to be concise.

But he told the samurai Xun about these things very seriously.

After hearing this, Samurai Xun frowned slowly, and his complexion became more and more serious.

People like Li Qiu and Dai Zhou suspected that Xu De was killed by the prince.

But they didn't know Li Qiu's real life experience.

So I don't really know the prince's motives.

At most, he could only think of the prince venting his anger, and then killed Xu De in anger.

Therefore, there is no motivation to pursue such things.

But the eldest grandson empress who knew Li Qiu's life experience was originally a loving mother and did not believe that her son Li Chengqian could do such a thing.

Especially later, Wang Gui and others really did it in secret, and they couldn't find any evidence.

Empress Changsun didn't go any further.

But the samurai Xun is quite different.

He not only knew Li Qiu's real life experience, but also had instinctive defense and hostility towards Donggong and the prince.

So at this moment, with his lifetime of sharp vision and experience, he has already become deeply suspicious.

Perhaps in the East Palace, the secret of Li Qiu's life experience has been exposed.

Things are often so unbearable to scrutiny.

And when the samurai Xun suddenly realized this, his back was already in a cold sweat.

"Li Qiu, no matter what the reason is."

"It seems that the East Palace and the prince have already murdered you and Furongyuan."

"If you are not capable or prepared enough, you may have died on the way to Tubo."

"Right now, as long as you look carefully, this Great Tang, especially Chang'an City, is already about to rain."

"I'm afraid that in the not-too-distant future, there will be a big dispute."

"At that time, if the prince wants to attack you, will you have the strength to protect yourself?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help scratching his head.

"As the crown prince and princes grow older, and His Majesty grows older."

"Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will enter the stage of the transfer of imperial power."

"At that time, you won't be able to escape. There will be a dispute between the crown prince, the king of Wei and other princes."

"However, for now."

"Your Majesty is still in good health, and he has not let go of his control over the court."

"So as long as His Majesty is here in Chang'an, the East Palace and the Prince can do nothing to me."

"And, now I have also resigned from office and stayed away from court disputes."

"Presumably they don't need to trouble me again."

Hearing this, the warrior Xun shook his head.

"Then suppose one day, the Crown Prince and Donggong suddenly attack you."

"I want to put you and everyone in Furong Garden, Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, Princess Yunzhong, and your children to death."

"Do you have the power to protect yourself?!"

Chapter 998 Careful sailing for ten thousand years

Li Qiu frowned slightly after hearing what the warrior Xun said.

Although it is only a hypothesis that is almost impossible to happen, but seeing the seriousness of what the samurai said, he also replied with the same seriousness:

"If I am in Youzhou, no matter who attacks me, I will have nothing to fear."

"With my 10,000+ Youzhou Army in hand, no one can threaten my family, wife and children."

"If I am in the Furong Garden, within a short period of time, I can attack the city with [-] soldiers."
