Fu Tang

No one can change what Li Congjia decides, at least not here, not to mention that what he said is indeed reasonable.

Shi Xuehe was tricked by his younger brother, so he had no choice but to prepare a new wig—the wigs from that year were no longer usable, and they didn’t fit the style of wearing in the Western Regions. Even though the officials from the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to maintain the old customs, It is also unavoidable to do as the Romans do.

After Li Congjia heard Shi Xueting's advice to his senior brother, he couldn't help laughing. Thanks to Shi Xueting's memory of the wig, even Li Congjia himself didn't remember it.

That being the case, Li Congjia thought about it, let Shi Yanlie lead the team, and ordered a few monks to form a guard team to protect him.

Although Li Congjia now has his own guards, they are not as good as these monks.

Although Li Congjia decided to lead the team to pay tribute in person, he didn't mean to leave just because he needed to smooth things out, at least he couldn't go ahead and his people would be liquidated.

Li Congjia knew in his heart that there must be some people who are still holding back the fire, but they haven't exploded yet.

What he didn't expect was that it wasn't the officials' families who were suppressed by him that were bombed first, but ordinary people!

Li Congjia's control over Suzhou is radiated from Jiuquan little by little. He does not have so many people to control the entire Suzhou at once. This is why he suppressed it with force. If not, the choice will slowly erode , Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?

Now that he sits in the center, he can avoid some government orders that are not good for him, and he can take the city into his own hands little by little.

Unexpectedly, there was still a problem, and people reversed it!

Li Congjia had no choice but to temporarily put aside the matter of the tribute, and decided to send someone to deal with the gang of rebels.

It's just that before he could discuss anything with the cabinet, the gate of the Hou Mansion was blocked by people - a group of ragged young people came to cry for grievances!

Li Congjia was very surprised, how fresh it is, since he came to Suzhou, some people came to him to challenge him, and some came to him to beg for mercy, but he never met anyone who came to complain.

When he heard Chunsheng's announcement, Li Congjia was very puzzled: "Did I find the wrong one?"

Everyone in the cabinet: ...

Now the Hou Mansion can be said to be the most magnificent building in Suzhou except for the royal palace. You can find mistakes in this, how stupid is that?

Facts have proved that those people outside the door really did not make a mistake.

Li Congjia asked people to bring them in first. He was very puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Usually complaining...you go to someone who can make decisions for you, right? You don't want to complain to your enemies, do you?"

Xiao Yan said: "If you encounter an enemy, you will either fight or beg for mercy, and you should not cry for injustice."

Li Congjia was slightly relieved, and went to the front yard with 12 points of curiosity. To be honest, if it weren't for the strangeness of this incident, he might not have seen those people.

Those young people probably didn't expect to see Li Congjia in person, their eyes showed nervousness and fear, and Li Congjia asked them kindly, "Why are you complaining? What happened?"

Seeing Li Congjia's kindness, the leader boldly said: "We are really desperate. We didn't mean to offend Lord Hou. Please forgive me."

Li Congjia was surprised when he heard it: "Have you ever read a book?"

This level of speaking does not seem to be illiterate. The man nodded with red eyes, and Li Congjia frowned. He felt that this matter was probably not simple. The rate of illiteracy in Suzhou is much higher than that in Central Plains. It means that the family background is not bad, such a person... How could he be reduced to this?

Li Congjia asked again: "Since you are complaining about injustice, let's talk about it first."

The leader said: "The Caomin's surname is An and his name is Qin. They are from Xilayuguer. They came here rashly this time to make a statement. We did not rebel!"

Xilayuguer?Li Congjia turned around in his mind, and then realized that he was a member of the Yugu tribe.

However, the name of the Yugur people was determined after liberation. Now they are still Xilayugur. This ethnic group can be regarded as one of the branches of the Uighur. The Western Regions have always been mixed with many ethnic groups, so there are other ethnic groups in Suzhou, and Li Congjia also Not surprisingly.

To his surprise, the matter of rebellion.

Li Congjia asked, "Do you live in Yinda?"

Yinda was the city where it was reported in the newspaper that someone rose up in rebellion.

An Qin nodded and said: "Master Hou, it's a long story, we... we were framed!"

Can this conspiracy be framed?Li Congjia sat silently and prepared to listen to the story.

In fact, the story is quite simple, that is, Anqin has a younger sister who was attracted by the county magistrate of Yinda, but the county magistrate is over 60 this year, not to mention his regular wife, and Anqin's younger sister is only [-] this year!

How could Anqin's family agree?Anyhow, Anqin's father was also the leader of Xilayugur!

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate is really not a good person, and directly increased the taxation of the Xilayuguer people.

Xilayugur is really poor. They are nomads. The entire ethnic group is only more than 2 people. Taxation has increased their burden. Anqin's father wanted to go to the county magistrate to make a theory. The county magistrate quarreled, and the county magistrate simply killed An Qin's father and sent an order to dispatch troops saying that their family was planning to rebel.

Li Congjia was dumbfounded when he heard that, and glanced at the people who came with An Qin, and found that everyone had injuries, and probably escaped with great difficulty.

But he couldn't listen to An Qin's one-sided words. After thinking for a while, Li Congjia said: "Let Han Yu go, well, bring some soldiers, let Wu Niang go."

Tian Wuniang did not go out with the army this time, but stayed to prevent accidents, but unexpectedly, an accident really happened.

Han Chou was very happy to get the task. Ever since he had the experience of mediating among the princes, he didn’t find anything exciting enough. Maybe he was born to be adventurous. Excited, I feel that such a complicated situation just allows him to use his strengths.

After someone took Anqin and the others to resettle them down, Li Congjia let out a sigh of relief: "It's really... I don't care about etiquette, justice, and shame."

A man who wished to be a grandfather insisted on forcibly marrying a young lady, and even dared to lie about the military situation. The more Li Congjia thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help saying: "Do these people think I'm easy to talk to?"

Han Xizai said slowly: "It's just that His Highness is not taken seriously. In such a remote place, the family of the county magistrate is the local emperor. They have the final say and don't care about the court's laws. Not necessarily not."

It's just that the county magistrate of the Central Plains is out of his mind, and he won't insist on making a big fuss, insisting that they are rebellious.

Li Congjia sighed after hearing this. He also knew that no matter when, the central government seldom penetrated to several levels. It was achieved in the Qin Dynasty, but it was done under strict laws. In the end, the second generation died.

Li Congjia never imagined that he would be able to create a unified country, but such a thing still challenged his endurance too much.

"If it is true, it must be severely punished!"

Li Congjia was very angry. When Han Yu and Tian Wuniang came to say goodbye to him, Li Congjia specifically told him: "Be sure to check carefully, don't wrong any good person, and don't let any bad person go."

Tian Wuniang nodded vigorously. As a woman, she hated such things even more.

However, Yang Xin was not happy. He looked at Tian Wuniang's heroic appearance, and said, "It's either you or the master. I've waited enough."

Tian Wuniang had no choice but to comfort him and said, "I'll be back soon."

Yang Xin thought for a while, took Tian Wuniang's hand and ran to Li Congjia and said, "Mr. Lang, when Wuniang comes back, can you call my master back and let us get married?"

Li Congjia was almost choked to death by saliva!

I will get married when I come back... Although Tian Wuniang didn't say it, but the child... Is it really okay for you to set the flag like this?

Li Congjia coughed lightly and said, "When Wu Niang comes back, I still have to go to Ganzhou, why not choose a date first."

Zhou Zong said: "Choose a date...it's time for Si Tianjian to get up again."

Li Congjia suddenly felt dizzy: "Let's talk about it after the new year, now there are too many things to worry about."

When seeing them off, Wu Niang and Yang Xin held hands and talked to each other for a long time. Li Congjia stared at them, feeling very upset—he wanted to do the same with his master, but he didn't dare.

Show affection or something, the most annoying!

Li Congjia decided to give Yang Xin some homework, so Yang Xin, who was unaware of it, was told to copy books again after two years.

Yang Xin:? ? ? ? ?

But Tian Wuniang was gone, and Li Congjia was about to leave. Originally, he stayed for a few more days to figure out what was going on with this conspiracy?Now that he finally has some clues, he can just leave it to the cabinet ministers, and there is no need for him to stay.

It's just different from before. Li Congjia decided to take a small test among the residents of Anning City before going on the road this time. They were all replaced. As for the possible resistance, Li Congjia never paid attention to it.

The big deal is to fight all the way. Li Congjia never expected a peaceful evolution. Anyway, he has a lot of people in his hands. After entering Suzhou, he went through several rounds of strict selection and expanded his army. Now he has at least 5 troops.

The army in Anning City is well paid, and that's why those people are more devoted to Li Congjia.

Li Congjia was ready to push all the way. All the big families in the county were attacked as much as possible.

So from Suzhou to Ganzhou, it took more than a month to walk. During this period, some of the more important cities were firmly secured. They are all honestly like quail.

Li Congjia has never had a chance to let others make a move, which is quite regrettable.

In fact, it’s okay for these families to be dishonest. Are the Thirteen families vicious?Four of them were taken away in one breath by this evil star. No matter how powerful they are, they can't compare to these families, so let's be honest.

After Li Congjia entered the territory of Ganzhou, he calmed down a lot, and he no longer behaved aggressively on the territory of Suzhou. However, he also observed carefully along the way and found that although the countries he belonged to were different, the lives of Ganzhou people and Suzhou people seemed different. Almost, they are all so...poor.

But if you think about it, these two places are adjacent to each other, and they are similar in terms of geography and climate. If I have to say, Ganzhou's climate is better than Suzhou's, but it is limited.

Zendan was the royal city of the Ganzhou Uighurs. Li Congjia had seen the huge scale of the royal city of the Ganzhou Uighurs from historical books before, but he had no idea if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

When he arrived under the royal city, Li Congjia deeply felt that Anning City...is still small, and compared with here, Jiuquan...is just a village!

Among other things, the city wall is ten meters high, and in this era, it looks very majestic.

Li Congjia looked up at the city wall and thought for a while, and finally decided to find someone to make a batch of siege equipment when he went back. Well, he had to make it bigger, otherwise the height of the ladder would not be as high as other people's city walls. Isn't that shameful?

However, he was probably the only one who thought of how to fight when he saw the city wall.

Accompanied by Ganzhou officials, Li Congjia and his party passed through the city wall and arrived at a rather... dilapidated post.

Li Congjia stood at the gate of the post station and asked with a calm expression: "Is this the place where your country entertains the envoys?"

The officials of Ganzhou had a contemptuous smile on their faces: "Of course not. There are more and more envoys these days, and the post house can no longer accommodate you, so I have to move this place for you to live in. Although it is not a post house, there should be rules. of."

Next, Ganzhou officials said a lot of "rules" in one breath. In fact, it can be summed up in nothing more than don't walk around casually, otherwise you will be caught as a spy.

After the Ganzhou official finished speaking, he turned his head and left. Zhou Ye said indignantly, "It's unreasonable. They are indeed barbarians who don't know any manners!"

Li Congjia shook his head: "It's not that they don't understand, it's just that they won't be too polite to you. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and they never talk about it."

Why is the original post house full?Naturally, envoys from a more powerful force than Suzhou lived here. Li Congjia came here for tribute, while those people came here just for pure diplomacy, and they have an equal relationship with Ganzhou.

Among the people brought out by Li Congjia, some were former officials in Suzhou. They had waited for Li Congjia to get angry with trepidation, and felt that their old fate would probably be accounted for here.

It turned out that Li Congjia didn't mean to get angry at all, which was quite surprising.

Of course Li Congjia would not get angry. Although this level of insult would make him angry, he was not so angry that he lost his mind.

Anyway, he will find this place sooner or later, why are you angry?

Thinking of this, Li Congjia was not only not angry, but also interested in playing. It's a pity that they just arrived here today, and they couldn't just walk out of this temporary post without the company of officials. Does anyone else live here.

Don't say it, there really is.

When meeting those foreigners in the posthouse, some with hair like Central Plains people and some with bald hair, two words came to Li Congjia's mind: Dangxiang.

I have to say that he was very surprised to see Dangxiang people. The relationship between Dangxiang and Ganzhou Uighurs has never been very good, and he did not expect to send people to pay tribute.

Li Congjia saw those party members, and those party members naturally saw him too. Among them, a dark-faced party boy strode over and asked, "May I ask Mr. Xiao Lang, did you come from the Central Plains?"

Li Congjia slightly hesitated and said: "I am indeed from the Central Plains, but this time I am here to represent Suzhou. May I ask if this gentleman is from the Dangxiang clan?"

The young man was a little surprised, but still bowed and said: "My surname is Li and my name is Guangrui. My father is the leader of the party."

Li Congjia immediately cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Li Mingyu, and my name is Chongguang."

Li Guangrui, the future party leader, never expected to meet him here.

Unlike other tribes, the Dangxiang clan has always been very close to the Han family, and of course they most admire the Han Dynasty.

However, it is not easy to find such a friendly force in the Western Regions that is friendly to the people of the Central Plains.

Li Guangrui was obviously very surprised: "You are Li Yu?"

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Li Lang knows me?"

Li Guangrui smiled and said: "The Marquis of Anning in Suzhou has become very famous recently, who doesn't know who doesn't know?"

Li Congjia wiped his sweat in his heart, it seems that he tossed and tossed Suzhou a bit too much, has all this been spread outside?

Li Congjia smiled and said, "I'm ashamed."

Li Guangrui was obviously very curious about Li Congjia, and he talked a lot with him. Li Congjia also intended to make friends with him. The two chatted happily, but Li Guangrui was obviously more interested in the Central Plains, and Li Congjia did what he liked, which made him even more happy.

However, before he could say a few words, an envoy from the palace hurried over and said, "The Khan called the Marquis of Anning in Suzhou to have an audience."

Li Congjia raised his eyelids, and sneered in his heart, pretending to be serious, and still seeing him.

But on the surface, he followed the envoy into the palace calmly, because he was meeting the Khan, so naturally he couldn't bring the guards, and Shi Xuehe almost had a conflict with the guards because of this matter.

Li Congjia pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll just go."

He was also curious, just because of the attitude of those officials just now, and the place where they lived, he knew that Hue Khan did not take Suzhou seriously. It's enough for the envoys to enter the palace together, but now Yao Luoge Renyu suddenly wants to see him again, which makes Li Congjia have to think more.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why. When he got to the palace, he met Yao Luo Ge Renyu and Princess Tian, ​​and after answering a few words, Li Congjia understood why he had this visit—he really I underestimated the attraction of the Central Plains to the Western Regions. These two people only became interested in him after hearing that he was from the Central Plains!

However, as a Khan, Yao Luo Ge Renyu was obviously more interested in the current situation of the Central Plains. When Li Congjia answered, he heard the ambition of Hue Khan, and he seemed to be somewhat interested in the Central Plains.

Compared to him, Princess Tian is interested in Li Congjia herself.

Princess Tian is the official title of Khan's wife. Because the wives of Uighur Khans were usually princesses of the Tang Dynasty, the title of Princess Tian gradually came into being.

It's just that this woman is neither a Han nor a princess, but a Uighur woman with a relatively powerful family.

Princess Tian has a good impression of Li Congjia. Although Li Congjia is not narcissistic, he also thinks it is normal for Princess Tian to have a crush on him. Because of the dry climate, women from the Western Regions rarely have delicate skin like women from the Central Plains.

Li Congjia's body grew up in the south. In terms of the fairness and delicateness of his skin, even if he stayed in the Western Regions for two years, he could outperform many women here.

Princess Tian likes strong men, but it doesn't mean she has no aesthetics. This is the first time she has seen a handsome and gentle man like Li Congjia.

Seeing it, I wanted to keep Li Congjia in the palace overnight.

Originally admired by others, Li Congjia didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It could only prove that he was quite attractive, but it would be very problematic to let him stay in the palace. He was worried that if he was not careful, if he stayed here for one night, he might not be able to go back. ——Do you still want to die for wearing a cuckold for the Uyghur Khan?

Not to mention that Li Congjia doesn't like women, even if he likes to face Princess Tian, ​​he won't be able to say anything.

Li Congjia resigned here for his own life, but Hue Khan didn't seem to care, he just said: "Don't worry, I also want to talk with the Marquis of An Ning in detail all night, and Princess Tian is also fine."

Li Congjia looked at Hue Khan looking at him, and suddenly his face was confused. The whole person fell into a terrible guess. scary?

Just when Li Congjia was struggling with how to continue to refuse, someone really saved his life.

The attendants beside Khan said respectfully, "I'd like to report to you, King Loulan, please see me."

Hue Khan smiled and said, "Please." After speaking, he turned to Li Congjia and said, "It just so happens that King Loulan is also from the Central Plains, so you must be able to speak."

Li Congjia's forehead was filled with question marks: King Loulan?Where did King Loulan come from?How long has it been since Loulan disappeared?

However, when he saw that Loulan King, Li Congjia almost didn't spit out, what the hell is Loulan King!

Hue Khan was right in saying something, not only did they talk, they even knew each other!
