Fu Tang

The insurgents in Ganzhou slapped Hue Khan in the face. Yao Luoge Renyu said that it was hard to get rid of his hatred just by destroying these insurgents, so after Zhao Kuangyin saw the envoys, Hue Khan said nothing Just go to war.

Zhao Kuangyin was still at war with Zhou Guo at this time. He was making great strides all the way, and a group of people began to imagine the scene of unifying the country in the future, and then this dream was shattered in half.

Zhao Kuangyin had to grit his teeth and adjusted the deployment of troops, strengthening the defenses of the Jing and Qin prefectures he had just won.

It was also fortunate that he reacted quickly, otherwise he was afraid that the land he had just won would be taken away by Yao Luoge Renyu. If so, Zhao Kuangyin also suffered a lot, and suddenly felt a little powerless to move eastward.

Li Congjia took the message from Han Yu and said decisively: "Let Han Yu and the others come back, don't stay in Ganzhou."

Han Xizai was a little surprised: "Let them come back? But Han Yu said a few days ago that he might find an opportunity to deepen the misunderstanding between King Loulan and Hue Khan."

Li Congjia shook his head and said: "Since the mobilization of troops has already begun, it is impossible for the misunderstanding between them to be resolved. Both sides are not loyal ministers and benevolent monarchs. Now it is dangerous for Han Yu to stay there. Having been the King of Loulan for several years, he must have his own influence in Ganzhou, if he knows the whereabouts of Han Yu and the others, they will not even think about coming back."

Han Xizai was startled when he heard this, and immediately said, "I'll send someone to call them back right away."

Li Congjia nodded and said, "After Tian Wen comes back, he will go directly to the Privy Council to report. Brother, you can look at the arrangements. As for Han Yu... let him go to Honglu Temple."

When Han Xizai heard it, his heart sank. The department of Honghe Temple has always been relatively unpopular. Han Yu is still young, so he definitely cannot be the minister of Honghe Temple if he goes there. It would be nice to be the young minister of Honghe Temple, but... Han Yu I didn't do anything wrong this time, and the credit is not small. How could I be thrown there?

When Han Xizai was wondering, Li Congjia said, "Let Han Chou rest for two days after he comes back, and then prepare for his mission to Khotan."

Go to Khotan?

Han Xizai was old and mature, and he immediately thought of Li Congjia's vigorous promotion of people planting mulberry trees to weave silk. Silk is a precious commodity. At that time, everyone thought that Li Congjia was so ruthless in promoting and gave various preferential policies, but Suzhou could not eat it. With so much silk, even if it is shipped to Ganzhou, it may not be able to make much money, and it may even lose money.

Now that Li Congjia asked someone to go to Khotan as an envoy, everyone suddenly realized that there is still Khotan if Suzhou can't eat it?Khotan has a large population, and it is different from the strict clothing class system in the Central Plains. In the Western Regions, as long as you can afford it, ordinary people can wear silk without violating the rules. In addition, the territory of the Tang Dynasty now borders Khotan , The two countries should indeed establish diplomatic relations.

However, unlike what Han Xizai thought, Li Congjia did not aim at Khotan, but in a farther place. The Kara Khanate is a good trading partner, and the distance is neither too far nor too short, because of frequent wars and advanced technology Not too bad, it should have stabilized there now, just when a lot of things are needed, Li Congjia didn't want to put all the treasures on the silk.

Things like silk are only suitable for sale to nobles, while ordinary people are ordinary linen, and the things they exchange range from grain to horses, and even... oil.

In other words, Li Congjia's ultimate goal is oil. He knows that there is no shortage of oil under this land. However, there is no such mining technology now, only the Persian Gulf side. For various reasons, oil can emerge from the ground. , This is the fierce fire oil.

However, Li Congjia also hesitated. The Kara Khanate...is more threatening than Zhao Kuangyin in his heart.

Shi Xueting accompanied Li Congjia to read, but he didn't pay attention to the book. He often glanced at Li Congjia when he turned a few pages. He didn't know what Li Congjia wrote there and was not interested in knowing it. When he was frowning, he put down the book in his hand, stretched out his hand to stroke his brow and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Congjia turned to look at Shi Xueting and sighed: "There is a problem that is difficult to solve."

Shi Xueting asked: "What is it?"

Li Congjia told Shi Xueting about the Kara Khanate, emphasizing the aggressiveness of Islam. He didn't really want such a sect to enter the Tang Dynasty. Although the Han people can assimilate many races, the court can also intervene to change the teachings. , but what about the future?

Li Congjia came here in the age of the Internet, and he understands that when the news is no longer blocked, even if the court intervenes, it will not be able to stop those religious believers from becoming extreme and crazy.

After listening, Shi Xueting asked back: "Can you stop it?"

Li Congjia was silent, yes, can you stop it?He may not establish diplomatic relations with the Kara Khanate at all now, but if things go on like this, isn't this a closed country in another sense?The position of the Kara Khanate is on the only way to the West. Cutting off ties with the Kara Khanate is equivalent to cutting off ties with all Western countries, which is naturally impossible.

However, once diplomatic relations were established and people from the Kara Khanate came to preach, what could he do?

Thinking of Li Congjia's irritability here, Shi Xueting said in a timely manner: "No matter what religion is always in conflict with those in power, even Buddhism has experienced four times of extermination of Buddha."

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was such a thing as extermination of Buddha. After thinking about it carefully, you will find that Buddhism is not really unoffensive, but it has been beaten honestly, and after so many years of evolution, It gradually became different from the Buddhism of Tianzhu, and was almost assimilated into a local religion.

However, religion is also different from religion. No matter what is going on in private, the teachings of Buddhism always make people want to be good.

Li Congjia took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, what to do, what to do. The most I can manage now is the next hundred years. After a hundred years, who knows what will happen?"

Shi Xueting smiled slightly: "That's how it is, what's more, no matter how well you think, who knows what will happen when the crown prince ascends the throne?"

Li Congjia looked at him in surprise: "You really dare to say anything."

Shi Xueting raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it right?"

Li Congjia had no choice but to say, "That's right. Have you ever thought that the relationship between the emperors of all dynasties and the crown prince is somewhat ambiguous? If you tell me so clearly that the crown prince will take over in the future, you won't be afraid that I will become suspicious of the crown prince? "

Even though Li Zhongyu is still young now, he was born too early. How old will Li Congjia be when Li Zhongyu is in his prime?The most intuitive example is probably Kangxi and his prince.

This kind of thing can't be imagined, if someone else is seriously suspicious, if he thinks that the prince will gradually become a winged prince, and he still doesn't want to abdicate, then he can only deal with the prince ruthlessly, or change to another one.

Shi Xueting obviously didn't think of this, he just said: "That's because I know, you won't do this."

Shi Xueting felt that although Li Congjia always said that he was too indifferent to foreign things, in fact Li Congjia himself did not seem to pay too much attention to wealth. He could get to where he is now, maybe because he has a goal in mind, otherwise he would Maybe he will die in Suzhou too.

Li Congjia hugged Shi Xueting's waist and said with a smile: "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Shi Xueting looked down at him and said, "Really? Why don't you come and have a taste?"

Li Congjia approached him generously and kissed him, but Shi Xueting seemed to be easily provoked since he started eating meat.

After a while, Li Congjia stretched out his hand to cover his collar and panted, "Not here."

This is a study, how can he be asked to work in the future if he does this kind of thing in the study?

Shi Xueting lowered her head and bit his ear, her slightly hoarse voice was strangely alluring: "I haven't tried here yet."

Li Congjia is a bit weak-legged, probably because Shi Xueting always looks abstinent, once he is aroused by Li Congjia, Li Congjia can't control it easily, maybe because there is a feeling in his heart that he is only crazy about me The thought inside gave Li Congjia a secret pleasure.

Shi Xueting obviously also knew that the more enthusiastic he was, the more addicted Li Congjia would be. Even if he was unwilling at first, he might give in later on.

It was the same this time, Li Congjia's hand holding the collar was pulled down by Shi Xueting, and his other hand had proficiently reached in, pinching the sensitive point on his chest.

Li Congjia had to hold Shi Xueting tightly so that he would not slide down because of his weak legs. His breathing gradually became short of breath, and he was placed on the table by Shi Xueting, and all the original documents on the table were lost. pushed aside.

The study room is full of spring scenery, while Chunsheng and Taofu standing outside stare wide-eyed, caught in a dilemma.

Dangxiang sent envoys to visit, this matter must be reported, but... now going in and disturbing the good things of His Highness and the State Teacher, the two of them will definitely be credited, but if they don't go...Dangxiang envoys The minister has already arrived. According to the usual practice, it is already noon now. It may be dark by the time the work is done inside, so I can only wait for tomorrow to report.

Although according to the procedure, the envoy should be received tomorrow, but His Highness must be mentally prepared, right?

In the end, Chun Sheng said with a heartbroken, "Death early and ascend to heaven early."

Taofu was a little cowardly, he didn't dare to provoke Li Congjia at all, and he didn't dare to say a word when he was around Li Congjia, and he did whatever he was asked to do.

Chunsheng is different from him. Chunsheng is an old seniority and can be regarded as following Li Congjia from scratch, and he knows Li Congjia's temper better.

So, just as Li Congjia was being bitten by Shi Xueting's Adam's apple with his neck up, and his vitals fell into the opponent's palm, Chunsheng's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

The movement of the two people stopped for a while, Li Congjia came back to his senses after a while, couldn't help pushing Shi Xueting and said in a low voice, "Don't..."

Shi Xueting felt a little helpless, finally found an opportunity to coax Li Congjia to have a shot in the study, but was interrupted, what a coincidence.

He withdrew his hand and began to pick up Li Congjia's half-stripped clothes, and when he was almost finished, he squeezed Li Congjia's chin and kissed it vigorously. Li Congjia didn't resist and let him kiss.

When Shi Xueting let go of him, a silver thread was drawn between the two of them. Li Congjia blushed and couldn't help but reached out to pat his bald head, and then saw Shi Xueting squinting his eyes and sticking out the tip of his tongue He licked his mouth.

The monk did this movement slowly, seeing Li Congjia's heart beat faster, he suddenly had an urge to throw him down.

Fortunately, he suppressed this impulse in time, sat back and patted his cheek to let himself recover from the aftertaste just now, and then said: "Come in."

Chunsheng had been waiting outside for a long time, and at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After entering, he did not dare to raise his head and said, "Your Highness, just now there is news from Honglu Temple that the party has sent an envoy."

Li Congjia was stunned for a moment and wondered: "Dang Xiang? Why is it so sudden?"

Of course Chunsheng didn't know, Li Congjia asked again: "Who is here?"

"It's Li Guangrui, the son of the party leader."

When Li Congjia heard that Li Guangrui was here, he decided to meet him. Anyway, Li Guangrui can be regarded as the prince of the party, and it must be a big deal to go to Suzhou in person.

Of course it was impossible to meet today, so he had to order Chunsheng Honglu Temple to treat Li Guangrui well and wait for the announcement tomorrow.

After Chunsheng retreated, Li Congjia turned his head and saw Shi Xueting who was staring at him closely. He felt a chill go down his back. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the rabbit being targeted by the tiger.

In fact, he still didn't get out of Shi Xueting's "claw" this afternoon, and when the two of them finished packing the study, it was already dark.

Queen Zhong also brought someone to deliver soup, so that he would not be too tired.

Thanks to Li Congjia who has practiced now, in the face of Queen Zhong's condolences, he can still act coquettishly with Queen Zhong without blushing or heartbeat.

Empress Zhong is living a happier life now. The longer Li Jing died, the better her mood. Now that she thinks about it, she only hates that when the country was about to perish, she should have killed Li Jing to save him from coming to Li Congjia. looking for trouble.

But it's not too late now, and without Li Jing, even his son has started to get close to him.

Of course, Li Congjia did not dare to be close to her. Of course, Queen Zhong is actually a qualified mother. She is very smart and has never been involved in any political affairs. , Li Congjia felt that he should respect her and be filial to her.

As a result of excessive indulgence, when Li Congjia went to court the next day, he seemed a little listless, and he really looked like he was working hard on political affairs.

Of course, it is mainly because Li Congjia does not have a harem now, Li Congjia also slept in the Zichen Palace last night and did not go to the queen, so everyone does not think that Li Congjia is a sequela of indulging in tenderness.

Li Congjia met Li Guangrui at the Dachao Meeting, and Li Guangrui did not give a big gift after he came up. Of course, Li Congjia was not angry. The current Tang Dynasty is not qualified to let the party give a big gift.

Li Guangrui came here suddenly this time, on the surface, he was actually here to explain the recent incident where Dangxiang and Ganzhou jointly attacked King Loulan.

Ganzhou mainly attacked Jingzhou, while Dangxiang attacked Lingzhou.

Li Guangrui explained: "Before, after all, we formed an alliance with the Tang State, but now we are against the Uighurs. I hope that your country will not have any misunderstandings."

Li Congjia... Li Congjia is a little guilty, are all party members so sincere?

At the beginning, he did receive the news that the party sent troops, but he didn't take it to heart. In fact, he understood very well that no matter what regime it was, it would not despise its own large territory. This relatively weak nation took advantage of the Uighur attack. , It's a normal thing to beat the autumn wind and take the opportunity to win a little territory.

But in Li Congjia's heart, those places belong to him, so let Ganzhou occupy them. Anyway, he will call back sooner or later. If he takes the party item... Li Congjia is about to drag the party item from the red list to the gray list.

Once Dangxiang does something else that violates Datang's interests, he will also blacklist Dang Xiang.

In the end, I never expected that Dangxiang would actually send Li Guangrui to explain it. Li Congjia is not tolerant now, and it is not okay, the main reason is that Dangxiang did not fight Datang.

But now he says it's okay, it doesn't matter, and he turns around and beats people in the future, isn't this considered treachery?

Li Congjia smiled happily on the surface, but he was very worried in his heart. Of course, no one present thought that Li Congjia had thought so far. In fact, the ministers are more pragmatic. In their opinion, it is very good to win Ganzhou. As for returning to the Central Plains , although it is everyone's wish, but this wish does not seem to be easy to achieve.

Li Congjia made no secret of his "ignorance" and asked, "What is the outcome between Ganzhou and King Loulan?"

Li Guangrui thought for a while and said: "The King of Loulan hides his secrets, and his subordinates are also talented people. The drug Luo Ge Renyu also suffered a lot. And I heard that Zhao Kuangyin started peace talks with Zhou Guo, and he probably wants to fight Ganzhou with all his strength. gone."

Li Congjia frowned, discuss peace?He is not happy to see Zhao Kuangyin's fight against Zhou Guo too smoothly, but he is also not happy to see Zhao Kuangyin's peace with Zhou Guo.

Once the peace is negotiated, Zhou Guo may enter a relatively stable period. If Guo Rong's sudden trend is not taken advantage of and Zhou Guochaotang's unresponsive response hits them in time, it may not be easy to win Zhou Guo in the future.

What Li Congjia is more happy to see is that Zhao Kuangyin fights Zhou Guo, and the Uighurs chase Zhao Kuangyin to fight, which can ensure that Zhou Guo and Zhao Kuangyin's territory will continue to be compressed.

As for Ganzhou occupying a larger territory... Hehe, is it just a display for his Tang Dynasty?

The court meeting would not last long. Li Congjia and Li Guangrui had a private meal and said, "We can't let Zhao Kuangyin free himself. This person may not be able to do anything else, but he is a first-class fighter. If he turns around, You are afraid that you will also suffer."

Li Guangrui asked: "How does His Highness see it?"

"Divorce plan." Li Congjia smiled very kindly: "He wants to negotiate peace with Zhou Guo, so let them fail to negotiate. How to do it. I am far away from the Central Plains now. I don't know what is going on there. More detailed plans are coming."

In fact, it is enough for Li Congjia to give this idea, and the party members are not stupid, and Li Congjia thinks that after Zhao Kuangyin is free, he will definitely fight the party party immediately, because now he needs a victory to boost morale, and it is possible to fight against the Uyghurs. If it lasts for a long time, party items will be easy to bully. Who will make them less numerous?

Li Guangrui obviously understood, and immediately said, "I'll send a letter to my family immediately."

Li Congjia, who successfully dug a hole for Zhao Kuangyin again, expressed his happiness. He has tried his best to restrict Zhao Kuangyin and Zhou Guo.

The next day was the Xiaochaohui. After Li Congjia told about some conversations he had with Li Guangrui, Zhou Zong said worriedly: "If the party members really do this, wouldn't Ganzhou... be more powerful?"

What Zhao Kuangyin and Zhou Guo are still far away from them. It is too early to think too much now, but Ganzhou is their number one enemy. Li Congjia has always been smart, how could he do such a short-sighted thing?

Li Congjia analyzed the situation in his mind, and said casually: "Yaoluo Ge Renyu won't live long. Once he dies, Ganzhou will inevitably be in chaos for a while. His son Jing Qiong is not like his father who has accumulated power for a long time. When the time comes, there will always be chaos." There is an opportunity to take advantage of."

Medicine Luo Ge Renyu is going to die?This is a good opportunity, Li Hongji immediately asked: "How did Your Highness know that Luo Ge Renyu's life is not long? I haven't heard that he is in poor health recently."

If you are really in poor health, how can you still let the army march here and there?We must stabilize the country first, so that the transition of power can be smoothly handed over to Jing Qiong.

Li Congjia came back to his senses in an instant, glanced at Shi Xueting next to him and said casually: "Well, the conclusion drawn by the national teacher's night observation of the sky two days ago."

Watching the sky at night?

Everyone looked at Shi Xueting, who was sitting there motionless, just like that.

Of course Li Congjia was talking nonsense, and he hadn't talked to Shi Xueting before, but he knew that Shi Xueting would definitely not tear down his platform, so Shi Xueting said, "Probably within a year."

The reason why Shi Xueting said this is because he saw a lot of Li Congjia's proposals in the study. Li Congjia didn't show these things to others, but Shi Xueting was with him when he wrote them. Of course he also saw them, but he didn't say them. Don't ask.

Judging from the plan, Yao Luoge Renyu probably won't live long, and even if he does live long, he has to find a way to make him not live long.

Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't want everyone to get entangled here, so he said, "Li Guangrui also proposed opening up trade, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will make a charter later."

Naturally, Li Congjia would not object to such things as commerce, but he had his own opinions on how to do so.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Li Guangrui came again, he got Li Yiyin's instruction, expressing that he wanted to get married!
