Crown Tang emperor

It's no wonder that their brothers have depended on each other since they were young, and their feelings are deep.Although the situation has improved now, and the brothers are divided into one side, Li Guangshun knows that this is all the result of the young brother's hard work.

As the eldest brother, he has nothing to do in the face of the crisis in his family business, and he has nothing to do. When he is stuck behind, he relies entirely on the struggle of his younger brother in the face of danger. He enjoys it with his own face. The shame of proclaiming it in the mouth.

Now seeing Guo Yuanzhen attracting the princess of the Fan Kingdom to enter the country, Li Guangshun was naturally extremely angry and hated Guo Yuanzhen to the extreme as he didn't know what kind of material accusations his younger brother would suffer because of it.

To be honest, if it hadn’t been for the fact that the Governor’s Mansion of Yizhou had just received a message from King Yong, if Guo Yuanzhen returned to the country and he responded properly, he would not have led the army to Dajianlu to greet him, and even directly killed the princess of the Fan Kingdom. Keep out of the country.

Because of this, Li Guangshun hated Guo Yuanzhen even more.His brother was in charge of a great job and had many opportunities to deal with, so he never forgot to tell him to take care of Guo Yuanzhen, but Guo Yuanzhen actually reciprocated him like this, which was really unbearable.

Hearing the King of Han's accusation, Guo Yuanzhen bowed deeply: "Your Majesty condemned all the crimes, Yuan Zhen dared not refuse. His Royal Highness King Yong looked down on me for the favor of rebuilding, so he sacrificed his life for everything. There are many national conditions in the Fan Kingdom. It's strange, the so-called marriage plan is also hidden. This is not enough to describe it in one sentence. Please allow me a moment to make a complaint. Yuan Zhen would never dare to complain about His Highness punishing him, even adding swords to his body!"

"Say!"

Li Guangshun snorted coldly after hearing the words, and sat down in the hall, his eyes still glaring at Guo Yuanzhen who was prostrate on the ground.

Next, Guo Yuanzhen narrated all the experiences of this trip in a concise and concise manner. He did not exaggerate and exaggerate the dangers experienced during this trip, but carefully analyzed the domestic situation of the Fan Kingdom and the reason why the so-called Princess Chizun entered the Tang Dynasty to get married. I talked a lot.

"The monarchs and ministers of the Fan Kingdom are alienated and disobedient, and the situation is like fire and water. It is almost incompatible. Although this daughter of the Chen family came from a powerful family, she has no relatives to protect her. She is in this whirlpool and has no power to protect herself. Knowing things in the palm of his hand, he fled his country to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty. It is still a persecution plan to give vanity and falsehood to the monarchs and ministers of the Tibetan kingdom."

Guo Yuanzhen sighed when he talked about this: "This woman's life experience may be worth a sigh of relief, but her life and death are indeed not worth paying attention to. Only the family name added by the Fan Kingdom, there is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of it. Strong, you may be able to hold back a little in the short term, but in the long run there will be a war, causing chaos in the country. Since I hold his clan daughter in my hands, once the thieves come to this point, I have the reason and motive to send troops to interfere with the state affairs. So I attract this When a woman enters the country, it is definitely not for the sake of her appearance."

When Li Guangshun heard this, his face softened a little.

The Tang Dynasty was established as a powerful country, and there were not a few foreign kings who sheltered and sheltered. Not to mention the rise and fall of the Western Turks, which were already conquered by the Tang Dynasty, and the successor Khan, the most typical one is the prince of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty, Bilusi , when his country was subjugated and he came to vote, Datang not only protected him, but even tried to help him restore his country. Although it failed in the end, Bilusi also died on the land of Datang.

From this point of view, it makes sense for Guo Yuanzhen to lure the princess escorting Tubo into Tang to seek asylum.Although the relationship between Tang and Tubo is now bad and they are at war frequently, they are still counted as the country of uncles and nephews, and they still have a little friendship.

Of course, regardless of these so-called national friendships, if the situation described by Guo Yuanzhen really happened in the Tubo Kingdom, it was inevitable that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to intervene.With such a person with the identity of the Tubo royal family in his hands, there will naturally be more room for manipulation.

After listening to Guo Yuanzhen's explanation, Li Guangshun's mood calmed down a bit, but when he thought of the so-called kinship covenant, his mood became worse again, and he said in a concentrated voice: "Even if this Tubo princess has future plans, it is not necessary Protecting his people with the damage of Wang Zhiqing's reputation. King Yong is now a young man of the clan, a pillar of the country, and in the future... In short, it is always inappropriate to marry a woman from a foreign country."

Li Guangshun is a typical scholar-bureaucrat thinking, he has his own prejudice against the foreign country, and at the same time, he doesn't quite agree with the overly flexible and cunning schemes, and he still resists the Tian family's formal acceptance of a foreign woman from his heart.

Guo Yuanzhen saw that the King of Han was no longer as angry as before, so he continued: "The so-called marriage theory is nothing more than the words of the Tubo family. Since a Tibetan woman entered the Tang Dynasty, it is natural that two monks chant scriptures at each end. How can the strategy of our Tang Dynasty be based on Gossip?

The thief wants to trouble me with this, and I can also mess up the thief's situation even more.The powerful ministers of the country are overthrowing the Lord, the royal family is weak, and the situation will not be guarded. They are in urgent need of foreign aid. They sent their princes and daughters to our country. Because they are afraid that the powerful ministers will obstruct and cannot make the trip, they are married in the name of marriage. strong minister. "

Since it was finally decided to attract the Tibetan women back to the Tang Dynasty, Guo Yuanzhen naturally thought a lot about this aspect.The Fan Kingdom is in the name of marriage, which is a matter of the Fan Kingdom, but in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the Fan royal family just couldn't bear the insult of the powerful minister Gar's family, so they sent the princess to ask for help.

No matter what the statement is, it is just to give an explanation to the people of the country, and to have an excuse to deal with the accusations issued by the court against King Yong.

King Yong never had the intention and behavior of bypassing the imperial court to hire foreigners. The entry of foreign women into the country is also the aftermath of Qinghai's great victory. The prestige that rises is lofty.

Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's remarks, Li Guangshun opened his mouth not knowing how to comment, and sighed after a while: "Guo's paradox, sincerity can make trouble."

After Guo Yuanzhen heard the words, he didn't know whether the evaluation was a compliment or an accusation, but he just bowed his head and said nothing.

"King Yong is in charge, and he is thirsty for talents, so he only promotes talents and does not stick to small details. But this is not the reason for you to be proud of those who use things. Just relying on cunning, even if you are favored for a while, it will not last long. King Yong treats you very kindly, and sends you a word, I hope you will not disappoint this kind of affection."

In the end, Li Guangshun beat Guo Yuanzhen a few words before ending the conversation. They have different temperaments. He doesn't agree with Guo Yuanzhen, but he won't interfere too much with King Yong whether he uses it or not. He just hopes that Guo Yuanzhen will not be too disrespectful. .

Chapter 0664 The king of Han is secluded and unhappy to get married

"This is the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty? How many people can live in such a majestic city?"

Ye Ali was dressed in a Hu suit, and Le Maton stood in the middle of the team. He looked up at the huge city rising from the flat ground in the distance, and couldn't help but let out such a sound of exclamation.

This is already a month after they entered the Tang Dynasty. Most of the servants and horses they brought with them were left in Yazhou. Only a few hundred followers, under the leadership of King Han of the Tang Dynasty, set off from the middle of Shu and crossed the Qinling Mountains. Guanzhong.

Along the way, the scenery is prosperous, and what you see and hear is very different from the scenery of Tubo.Ye Ali was amazed along the way, and his intuitive experience of the prosperity and affluence of the Tang Dynasty diluted the fear of entering a foreign country for the first time.

Originally, when passing by Chengdu City in Yizhou in the middle of Sichuan Province, she was already speechless by the bustling and bustling city, and it took a long time before she eased up.

I thought that the prosperity of Chengdu City was already at the top level of the Tang Dynasty. Later, when I passed the Bashan and Qinling Mountains, it seemed to confirm her guess. The road to Shu is difficult, and some places are not inferior to the ravines and ridges of Tubo, often dozens of miles away. There are no people in the room.

But when the team entered the Guanzhong territory, Ye Ali realized that her previous thoughts were really like looking at the sky from a well. There are criss-crossed fields in various places in the Guanzhong, chickens and dogs are heard, there are villages everywhere, and there is almost no idle land. Harmony has far exceeded her imagination.

But when she actually came outside Chang'an City and saw the most majestic city in this world with her own eyes, her heart was filled with shock, and even her brain went blank.

"It's no wonder that Da Lun Qinling is so persistent and fascinated by the customs of the Tang Dynasty. He has seen that there is still such a place in the world. How much temptation can the desolation of the country give people?"

Originally, Ye Ali still couldn't understand why Da Lun Qinling gave up the opportunity she created for him, and just focused on the management of Tuyuhun outside.It wasn't until he saw the wealth and grandeur of Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty that he was able to understand the unyielding persistence under the tough appearance of Da Lun Qinling.

Luosuo City, the royal city of Tubo, is indeed the most prosperous place on the plateau. Countless people living in the kingdom look at foreigners with a sense of superiority beyond words.

However, for Qinling, who had entered Chang'an and experienced the first-class prosperity in this world, the so-called prosperity of Luosuo City was really not worth mentioning.He is arrogant and young, and since he wants to strive for it, he naturally wants to go to the world's first-class prosperity, and he will not compromise his ambition for the next goal.

Right now, the team hadn't really arrived outside Chang'an City, and it was getting late, so they had to stay in the posthouse on the western outskirts of Chang'an City.Before entering the camp, a cavalry group had already come from Chang'an City to strengthen the guards and arrange for posting.

Not long after entering the posthouse, Guo Yuanzhen hurried over and said apologetically, "Yuanzhen will rush into the city to meet His Royal Highness Yong, and I have no time to accompany you to ask questions this night. Please forgive me. Please stay in the pavilion temporarily. Afterwards, there will be special envoys to arrange for the princess to enter the city to meet the king. The post is too narrow to allow nobles to live together, so the king of Han will go with me. If Her Royal Highness needs anything for daily use, just ask the post officials for it.”

Ye Ali nodded and smiled after hearing the words: "I am very grateful to have the general escorting me all the way and leading me into the country. The general will go now, and I will stay here and wait for guidance."

Speaking of this, she said worryingly: "His Royal Highness King Yong, he is the elder brother of King Yong? Seeing that he is quite indifferent towards my entry into the country, I wonder if it will affect His Highness King Yong's treatment of me?"

The King of Han's attitude was not only indifferent, he simply turned a blind eye.Ever since he welcomed a group of people at Dajianlu in the west of Yazhou, the Han King of the Tang Kingdom had never come to see Ye Ali. Even if there were any itinerary arrangements, he would order his servants to inform him.

Through the attitude of Tang Guo, the king of Han, Ye Ali also realized that the real upper class figures in Tang Guo really didn't like her, the so-called Tubo princess.

At the very beginning, she and her followers complained that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were too arrogant, but as they traveled along the way, seeing what kind of national power the Tang clan enjoyed, they gradually felt that this arrogance was taken for granted, because they were two people at all. people of the world.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard the words, he smiled and comforted: "Princess, please don't worry. The reason why the King of Han is displeased is mainly because the Fan kingdom framed the princess's marriage plan, not against the princess. As for His Royal Highness King Yong, he took the lead and divided Shaanxi into rule. The princess is generous and tolerant, and the princess does not hesitate to travel far and wide to invest, and she will treat it with courtesy and solemnly no matter what. The response to the meeting depends entirely on the princess's response, and the follow-up is beyond Yuan Zhen's ability to make arbitrary judgments."

After finishing speaking, it was getting late, and Guo Yuanzhen didn't stay any longer, and left with the King of Han to Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City at this time, Li Tong finished the matters that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible in the morning, and postponed the unimportant matters until tomorrow. He returned to the mansion early to set up a banquet, preparing to receive his elder brother Li Guangshun after a long absence.

"His Royal Highness, Hanwang Yijia has already entered the city!"

Sitting in the court for a while, when it was getting dark, Yang Sixu who was waiting for the news hurried into the mansion to report. Li Tong was even more delighted when he heard the news, he got up, walked out of the mansion, and went straight to the square gate to wait for his brother to arrive.

Nearly half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, and the sound of horseshoes on the long street gradually approached. Li Guangshun rode his horse out of the night covered by the fire, and appeared in Li Tong's field of vision.

"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time, don't you come here unharmed?"

Li Tongkuo walked forward, raising his hand to grab the bridle of his elder brother's horse, while Li Guangshun got off the horse first, and stepped forward to hold the younger brother's arms excitedly: "Three, be careful, brother is alone in Shu, I miss my family every day, but now I finally see them, my brother is even more heroic than before!"

Last year Li Guangshun went from Luoyang, the capital of gods, to Yizhou. The brothers saw each other after such a long farewell. Naturally, they were very excited, and they had too much to say to each other.But in the past two years, so many things have happened that I don't know where to start.The brothers stood side by side in the street, although they looked at each other silently, each other's eyes were full of joy of reunion.

"Go, come home with me, and wash away the dust of the journey for brother!"

Li Tong took Li Guang to the square, turned his gaze, and noticed Guo Yuanzhen, who was standing among the Hanwang entourage with a seemingly simple and honest smile on his face, couldn't help laughing and scolded: "There is no need to pretend to be naive, tonight's banquet You have a seat, too!"

Guo Yuanzhen was not without surprises after hearing the words, he crossed his hands to express his thanks, and then bowed his head respectfully behind the two kings, and he was not in a hurry to report the matter of this trip, so as to disturb His Highness's long-lost family.

The Chinese dining table in Wang's mansion has already been fully set up, Li Tong first led his elder brother into the inner hall to take a bath and change clothes, and then greeted his uncle with the female family members of the mansion, and then the two brothers returned to the inner hall to attend the banquet.

Because it was turned into a family banquet for the elder brother to wash the dust, too many officials were not invited, only some close ones, such as Xue Chongxun, his sister-in-law who arrived in Chang'an a month ago, and even Wu Youyi, who would call his cousin guy.

But Guo Yuanzhen was an outlier, who just happened to catch up with him.This guy is also familiar, so he doesn't feel embarrassed by it. Brother Yong Wang had already talked with Wu Youyi at the same table, and his eyebrows were full of joy. He was probably exchanging his experience in searching for big local tyrants.

A family banquet, not related to official business, or talking about romantic affairs, or talking about family affairs.Among them, Xue Chongxun naturally received key attention, mainly accepting key interrogation by Li Guangshun.

The younger sister got married, and Li Guangshun was far away in Sichuan. Although he specially ordered someone to send a generous dowry remotely, but he himself did not attend, and he felt guilty.

Xue Chongxun is only in his teens at the moment, but perhaps because of his marriage or business affairs, he has a somewhat calm appearance. He answered Li Guangshun's cross-examination respectfully, not without heroic expression: "How do I treat my wife?" Don't you know, cousin? Since I was young, I have been serving you like a treasure, and now we are in the same room. I obey all my wife's orders. Even this time, my wife decided for me. If you can find out my fault , then I really accept the punishment!"

Hearing this dog-licking statement, Li Tong couldn't help laughing and said: "If you have a beautiful wife in your family, your husband will not suffer any misfortune. You don't have to feel that your young lady is unruly. When you arrive in Chang'an, you will be on the stage, and you won't be humiliated." That little talent."

Although it's just family members talking and laughing, some conflicts and disputes within the situation are also hidden in it.Li Tong wasn't dissatisfied with some of his aunt's behaviors in Shendu, but he didn't like it very much.

Since Xue Chongxun is his sister-in-law, Li Tong doesn't want him to interfere too deeply in his mother's affairs, but after all, there is still a deep love between mother and child, and some meanings are contained in the words, it still depends on this kid's own understanding.

Li Guangshun was exhausted from the journey, and the family banquet didn't last too long, and ended in less than an hour.Li Tong specially arranged for Guo Yuanzhen to stay in his residence and wait for him to ask questions tomorrow morning.

After the banquet was over, Li Tong personally sent his elder brother to the dormitory, and then he sighed and said: "Second brother and I are married, but brother, you are alone, and you have no time to choose a good sister to discuss relatives. This time, the empress also specially Pass the letter to me, telling me to help you get married and start a family, and there will be a letter. There are no outsiders at the moment, so you may wish to tell me what you think about it.”

When Li Guangshun heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. After a while, he suddenly sighed: "Sanlang, don't embarrass me. I have neither talent nor reputation. I really don't have such thoughts. Husband and wife in the world, It's just a combination of snobbery.

Since I was born, I have achieved nothing, and I have to rely on the protection of my brothers to survive. Even if a famous family kisses me, the greed is nothing more than this.It is not easy for my brother to start a business, and I already feel ashamed to share it myself, how can I get greedy for a famous family and lead others to share my troubles. "

Li Tong knew that his elder brother was introverted and less enthusiastic, but he did not expect Li Guangshun to have such a pessimistic attitude towards human affairs. Small.

"Brother, how can you think like this? Brothers help each other and advance together, it's just right. What's more, I..."

"Sanlang, you don't need to say any more. I have a blind date and family care. I have no more demands, and I don't want to attract strangers to disturb my quietness."

Li Guangshun paused at this point, and then said after a while: "Sanlang, you have a heart, can you express it to the empress for me, Zhu Niang will accompany me when she is cheap, and she will not violate when she is expensive. I want to give her a place." Arrangement. Originally, the two were loyal and did not need to care about their status, but now she has a pregnancy letter, and I hope that the child will not be disgraceful in front of everyone."

After Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "Brother is a sincerely loving person, I accept this matter! But because of my love, I am not afraid of other people's gossip. Besides, my second brother and I are old Maybe it's Yangzhu... my sister-in-law cooks and feeds, and stays loyal to each other, how can my family treat each other harshly."

Chapter 0665

It is not surprising that Li Guangshun is pessimistic about normal male-female affairs and family relationships.Childhood life is precarious and maliciousness is everywhere, even for mature adults, it is difficult to bear it.

Li Tong still joined halfway, and the situation improved after more than half a year of full play, but in the process, sometimes his mentality was on the verge of collapse.

Not to mention that because of the abandonment of his biological mother, Li Guangshun himself has to bear more criticism than his brothers. It is conceivable that he feels sad, and his personality has become introverted and sensitive because of this, but at least he is still very optimistic about his family. Feelings, this is already not bad in nature, it is rare.

As for the deep affection for the never-ending maidservant in a crisis situation, and even wanting to seek a name for her, it shows that she is affectionate.It is precisely because of this that even though this elder brother sometimes seems stubborn and can't provide much help to Li Tong in affairs, Li Tong still has a respect for this elder brother.

After all, the relationship between people is not just a combination of interests. If there is no nourishment and comfort from family affection, Li Tong will sooner or later become an out-and-out power man who will not recognize his relatives and is extremely selfish.

However, if Li Guangshun wanted to give the maidservant a title, in addition to being recognized by her family, she also had to be conferred by the imperial court.After all, once you have a title, even if you are not the Zongwangzhengfei, you still need to register your name in the Zongji.Especially after having a child, it is necessary to sacrifice to the ancestors.

Li Tong has a soul from later generations. Although he doesn't agree with the concept of family status in the current marriage customs, he also understands that if Li Guangshun decides not to hire a concubine, then this matter will involve the inheritance of a first-rank prince. , Naturally, it needs to be handled with dignity.

Not to mention the current concept of family status, even an ordinary family in future generations will not have any throne to inherit, just a household registration in the four cities is enough to make people extremely proud in the process of choosing a spouse.

At this point, future generations do not need to criticize the ancients. Love may be impulsive, but marriage must be based on reality.From ancient times to the present, there has never been any existence of true love that is invincible and able to cross classes.The old lady dancing in the square in the park may shed tears for the story of Liang Zhu. When talking about the marriage of her children, the first thing she asks is the garage deposit.

The maid, Zhu Niang, is not even a son of a good family, but an official servant. She may be a favorite concubine, but she still needs some twists and turns to gain the approval of the imperial court and the clan.This is also where Li Guangshun finds himself in a dilemma, he has almost no experience in dealing with such matters.

If it's just a matter of mutual affection, this matter is not urgent, but hearing from Li Guangshun that Zhu Niang has a pregnancy letter, which involves the issue of the status of the heir, Li Tong naturally has to help his brother deal with it.

So after finishing talking with Li Guangshun and returning to his residence, Li Tong didn't take a rest immediately, but instead wrote a book to a few people in Duzhong to let them operate as soon as possible.Even if she is not a concubine, she must at least seek the status of a child. Letting a child enter the world is not an evil breed of handmaid.

If it was before, although this matter was difficult, it was just a little more twists and turns.But now, the relationship between Xingtai and the imperial court has become relatively bad, the momentum in the political affairs hall has been wiped out, and even Ouyang Tong, who is the only remaining fruit, was dismissed from political affairs due to old illness not long ago, and he is only a full-time official in the Ministry of Rites.

However, Li Tong is not without the means to control the court, and it is already September, which is an important node for the entry of autumn gifts into the capital.Although the military and political affairs of Xingtai are relatively independent, the rent adjustments of the counties and prefectures in Shaanxi Province also need to be turned over on time.

If the imperial court really intends to get stuck in this matter to embarrass themselves, Li Tong intends to let them try the feeling of being hungry again this winter.Although this is a bit of a fuss, it is essentially a retaliation for the imperial court's move to cleanse King Yong's power inside and outside the court during this period of time.

Although the current imperial court has not made it clear, in actual actions, it has actually treated Shaanxi Daoxingtai as an enemy country.In addition to the elimination of internal forces, some local arrangements that Li Tong had made before were also destroyed.

When the coup had just ended, Wang Fangqing went to Shannan Road as a procuratorate envoy, and became the governor of Jingzhou after the mission of procuring Fu was completed. However, not long ago, Wang Fangqing's position as governor of Jingzhou was also removed and he was transferred to the governor of Guizhou.

Although in terms of rank and status, the governor of Guizhou, as one of the five officials in the south of the Five Ridges, is also a member of the third rank of the frontier, and he is even more distinguished than the governor of Jingzhou.

However, Guizhou is located in the middle of Guizhou, and it is quite far away from Shaanxi Road, which was overwhelmed by the influence of Daxingtai. It does not have the geographical conditions that Jingzhou Nati led the Shannan states. one of the measures.

Although it is said that they are fighting for power and power, and each has their own strategies, it is understandable that the court has such a strategy.After all, in the previous round, the Chang'an shogunate became the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, allowing Li Tong to be more legitimate in the separatist regime in Shaanxi. This is undoubtedly a major progress, and it is also appropriate to make certain concessions in other areas.

But this does not mean that Li Tong needs to silently bear all the suppression imposed by the imperial court in the near future, and still has to make a strong response when appropriate.

The relationship between Shannan Road and Guanzhong was originally a supplement to the water transportation of Jiangnan Road. The imperial court chose to take priority over this, and it was also determined that Daxingtai would not turn its face.

Any behavior in the political field is to gradually test and make progress. Whether it is the purge of power in the court or the transfer of Wang Fangqing of Shannan Road, Li Tong just kept silent and focused on the structure of Daxingtai itself.

But if he still does not respond appropriately, the next step is that the imperial court will definitely attack Jiangnan Dao directly.

Once the imperial court completes the blockade of the entire Shaanxi Road, although Daxingtai controls the important territories of the empire, such as Guanzhong, Longyou and even Shuzhong, in the long run, it is still not as good as sitting in Hebei, Jiangnan and the entire Central Plains the imperial court.

Although the previous Guanzhong created several empires, it was still a pattern of heroes competing for hegemony, and they did not belong to each other.And if Li Tong wanted to go further, he would be a counterattack, and he would suffer a loss in righteousness.

Moreover, Guanzhong has been developed for a long time, and its land resources are seriously overdrawn, and its potential is not high. Even regardless of Hebei, it is gradually inferior to Jiangnan.The reason why the imperial court was so bold as to give Shaanxi Taoism to him was because of the fact that King Yong was too hard to be rewarded for his meritorious service, and there were also considerations in this regard.

It can be said that if King Yong's power can be limited to the west of Tongguan for a long time, even if there is no more ingenious game of power and tactics, even if it is only a long-term confrontation, the imperial court can directly consume Shaanxi Daoxingtai to death.

Of course, Li Tong was well aware of this.What Shanxi Road is facing is not only the difficulty of people's livelihood, but also the pressure of border defense and external expansion.If Daxingtai is to be sustained for a long time, it is necessary to properly address the limitations of people's livelihood resources.

Although Daxingtai has a relatively independent organizational structure, its administrative capabilities are still far inferior to that of the central government, and material supplements from the outside world are the key factors for its sustainability.

After Lu Yuanfang was dismissed from the position of prime minister, Li Tong had lost his dominance over the water transportation matters that Li Tong had focused on before.It has almost become impossible for Jiangnan Caomi to enter Guanzhong in large quantities through conventional channels.

The current situation of Daxingtai is similar to that of the mid-Tang court after the Anshi Rebellion, and it was the period when Wu Yuanji, Li Shidao and others controlled the water transportation and cut off the lifeline of Caomi in the south of the Yangtze River in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and it was even worse.

During the mid-Tang Dynasty, although the imperial court was weak, there were vassals and towns in the Guandong, there were Tubo bandits in Longxi, and there were Huihe and other Hu tribes in the northwest who were gradually becoming stronger, but they still had a righteous name.Moreover, the Autumn Defense Brigade, which has the largest military expenditure, has its battle lines set in the pass, and the supply line is not too long.

However, the front line that Daxingtai needs to prevent and control is from Longyou to Anxi, and from Guannei to Shuofang. Facing the siege of the central court, it cannot be condemned and crusaded with righteousness.It is said that Shanxi is divided into the roost, but in fact it is besieged on all sides.

The batch of materials that Li Tong scavenged from Shendu at the beginning of his westward journey originally planned to be able to restore the production order in the customs to the extent that the production order was basically restored and he already had a certain degree of self-sufficiency. Run out.

Although the order in Chang'an, including the Guannei area, has been restored to stability, and the Tian Sang matter has achieved a little success, the entry of autumn money into the capital is enough to take away all the prefectures in Shaanxi Province.The imperial court has given Shaanxi Dao such great autonomy, and it would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally if they still resisted such basic obligations and Daxingtai.

So right now Li Tong also urgently needs to quarrel with the imperial court and confront each other for a period of time, so as to delay the delivery of the autumn Fu.

Under such a demand, no matter how big or small, in short, don't mess with me, I'm already poor and crazy, just poor.If you really want to annoy me, at worst I will go to my third uncle for warmth.

Of course, it was neither suitable nor necessary for Li Guangshun to make a big noise and make a lot of noise in the city.After all, private affairs in the world are not suitable for publicizing noise, and Li Tong also needs to consider his brother's decency.

If the imperial court is smart, even if this matter is not in accordance with etiquette, most of them will give in and agree to it, so as not to let him have the opportunity to play tricks and play tricks. It is the most beneficial to get the Shaanxi Qiufu first.After all, the entire imperial court eats horse chews, piles of rice worms, and various administrative expenses, so there is a huge demand for money and food.

So in the recent period of time, Li Tong has been thinking about finding a topic that is harmless and quite chewy, so as to quarrel with the court, so that it will not completely turn his face, but also affect the communication between people and things. Jinfeng, keep the autumn Fu for a short period of time, and don't let the customs immediately fall into a famine year.And strive to bypass the imperial court's blockade during this period of time, and operate a few more supply routes.
