Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian felt that since he crossed over, although he was often worried that he would end up messing with Empress Wu, but overall his life was pretty good, and his life was basically as smooth as Kaihang. He knew... No, since he met Wu Minzhi, he had to accept the plot like a prolapsed wild dog from time to time.

Just when Li Xian didn't know what Wu Minzhi was going for, he received an invitation from Wu Minzhi, saying that there was a grass field here where he could play polo.

Li Xian... Li Xian reflexively feels pain all over his body when he hears polo—falling off a horse is simply unbearable pain in life!

Li Xian reflexively wanted to refuse, and then he saw a small note in the invitation, which was also written in Wu Minzhi's handwriting, but Li Xian gritted his teeth with hatred.

Zheng Qingcheng will also come, don't regret if His Highness doesn't come~~~Your sister!Li Xian wished he could beat Wu Minzhi again, and then he remembered that Wu Minzhi's sister had died a long time ago, and then there was only one cousin, the little princess.

Tsk, relatives have the feeling of being insane, and they are extremely cheating, and even being rude will accidentally implicate the family.Sitting in the study, Li Xian thought of what Wu Minzhi said to him before, but Li Xian couldn't figure it out. Everyone didn't think he had any thoughts about Zheng Qi. Why was Wu Minzhi so sure?How did he figure it out?

Shen Jingbing's patient had a big brain, and Wu Minzhi just thought that Li Xian cared too much about Zheng Qi, and didn't say that he liked Zheng Qi or anything.

As a Shenjingbing, and also a Shenjingbing who has been loved by thousands of people since childhood, Wu Minzhi's secondary illness relapsed after he recovered.He thought Li Xian was interesting, his words were transparent, and his personality was also very transparent. Even if the other party had a bad attitude, Wu Minzhi didn't care.

After all, it is very comfortable to be with such a person, at least you don't have to worry about whether the person who talks and laughs at you face to face will stab you in the back.

It's just that he wanted to make friends with Li Xian wholeheartedly, but the more he walked towards him, the further away he was from him, turning his head and being considerate to others, which made Wu Minzhi very upset, very upset.

Seeing that the two of them are unhappy together, let’s dismantle it. Anyway, he has always felt that Zheng Qi just used Zhou Wang as a shortcut pedal, and it was Zheng Qi who made such a start. Now the prince’s Wang Fu candidate is very popular. Concerned, it seems that this is taken as a promotion path.

It's a pity that the prince doesn't need it. King Pei and King Zhou already have Wang Fu, and King Ji Li Lun is not yet old enough to leave the palace to build a mansion, so everyone had to focus on other places.

The place Wu Minzhi chose was very good, and the weather that day was also good. Although it was summer, Tiantai Mountain was very cool and it was not uncomfortable to go out, but no matter how good the weather was, Li Xian couldn't make Li Xian feel better.

When he got there, Li Xian found that the people Wu Minzhi invited were all boys and girls, and Li Xian basically didn't know each other!That is to say, these boys and girls... should not come from very prominent backgrounds. Of course, this judgment may not be very accurate. Li Xian only judged based on the familiarity of those people and their words and deeds.

Li Xian brought his own horses here. After what happened last time, he no longer believed in other people's horses. Although his own horses were not much better, they were well-bred after all.

Wu Minzhi walked over with a smile, reached out and patted Li Xian's horse and said: "This horse is not bad." Then he turned his head and called those people to come over and salute Li Xian.

Li Xian originally thought that he would introduce the origins of these people to himself, but he didn't expect that the other party asked these people to salute and then let them go and play by themselves.I have to say that Wu Minzhi's aesthetics is probably pretty good, and these boys and girls all look pleasing to the eye.

Seeing these beautiful boys and girls, Li Xian decided to treat Wu Minzhi with a better attitude. After all, in such an eye-catching environment, it might not be easy for people to keep their faces sullen.

"What? Are you interested?" Wu Minzhi raised his eyebrows and looked down at Li Xian.

Well, this is why Li Xian hates staying with Wu Minzhi. In this age, he should already be considered an adult. I didn't feel any sense of oppression. I have to say that no matter how you look at it, Zheng Qi is very powerful, but he doesn't give people any pressure, but Wu Minzhi... Li Xian started to raise the alarm as soon as he approached him.

It probably has something to do with this person's uneasy playing cards.Li Xian glanced around, but he didn't find Zheng Qi's figure, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, well, it would be good if Zheng Qi didn't come.

Wu Minzhi seemed to know what Li Xian was thinking and said directly: "Your Highness is really impatient. I'm afraid Zheng Qingcheng will have to wait for a while since he came so early, but ah, it may not be good for him to come. Wait a minute Maybe these beauties won’t have time to talk to us.”

"Oh? So Qingcheng is more popular than Zhou Guogong? I really didn't know before."

What the fuck, Wu Minzhi, what do you mean?Calling so many beauties who have plans for Zheng Qi to come over, are you trying to pimp?

Qingcheng and Zhou Guogong...Wu Minzhi glanced at Li Xian, are they really different?But this time before he could say anything, he saw Zheng Qi wearing a riding suit and leading a black horse from a distance.

I don’t know if it’s because of being on the battlefield, but after returning this time, Zheng Qi has a more vigorous spirit, and he seems to be different from many people when he stops there. Remarkable.

Wu Minzhi saw Li Xian's gaze fixed on Zheng Qi's body, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, feeling that...he was already many steps too late.

After Zheng Qi came over, he was indeed very popular with those beauties. Li Xian saw him tilt his head and asked, "Huh? Are you really here?"

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian and suddenly said, "I've grown taller."

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Hey? Really? I haven't noticed recently, how much taller have you grown?"

Zheng Qi gestured seriously, and the two of them discussed whether King Zhou had grown taller in public.

In fact, both Li Xian and Zheng Qi were just looking for something to say, because neither of them wanted to chat with those bold and open-looking beauties next to them.

It's just that after playing polo, Li Xian and Zheng Qi couldn't get together to talk together, and then... Li Xian watched a group of beauties riding horses around Zheng Qi, and Wu Minzhi Of course, Li Xian is also indispensable.

To be honest, Li Xian always felt...the expressions and movements of these beauties looked the same as those from Pingkangfang. Could it be that Wu Minzhi really found beauties from there?

In addition to seeing these beauties not pleasing to the eye, Li Xian is quite satisfied with today's polo playing, because it was not too intense, and successfully made his psychological shadow on polo much smaller.It's just that this is just Li Xian's feeling, Zheng Qi and Wu Minzhi competed with each other until finally even the beauties didn't dare to get too close.

When he stopped, Wu Minzhi's body was already a little sore - the result of working too hard, just looking at Zheng Qi who looked relaxed, even Wu Minzhi, who was always in a good mood, couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

It was almost time to eat when the physical strength was exhausted. During the meal, those beauties were lucky enough to accompany three of them, and they were all picked out by Wu Minzhi. Negotiate important matters? What is the meaning of this?"

After Li Xian heard this, he turned his head and looked at Wu Minzhi coldly. He said why Zheng Qi suddenly agreed to Wu Minzhi's invitation. right?

Wu Minzhi smiled slightly: "Isn't Zheng Qingcheng's lifelong event important?"

day!Li Xian looked at the chopsticks in his hand and really wanted to throw them into Wu Minzhi's face as a hidden weapon!

Zheng Qi was also stunned for a moment, and he looked at Wu Minzhi inexplicably: "How can we make decisions about marriage without authorization? It should be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"Of course, but you have to like it yourself?" Wu Minzhi glanced at Li Xian and continued: "At any rate, you are also a viscount now, although there were bad rumors before...now I want you to be a viscount." There are still many son-in-laws of Long Kuai, for example... my uncle intends to marry your family."

Uncle?Li Xian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wu Minzhi said that uncle... His surname should be Helan, right?After all, Empress Wu's brothers were all killed by her, but it's obviously inappropriate for Wu Minzhi to call Helan Anshi's brother uncle, right?

Zheng Qi really didn't expect that Wu Minzhi actually came to matchmaking, and he couldn't figure out what this psychopath was thinking, so he simply didn't continue this topic, but said: "It depends on what my parents want. "

Wu Minzhi shrugged his shoulders: "As long as you know it in your heart, but you really didn't like the beauty just now?"

Zheng Qi... Zheng Qi's answer was to say goodbye and leave, and drag Li Xian away by the way.After leaving Wu Minzhi's pasture, Zheng Qi turned to look at Li Xian and suddenly said, "Stay away from him."

"Ah?" Li Xian was still thinking about Wu Minzhi's matchmaking for Zheng Qi, and it took him a long time to realize and ask, "You were tricked by him?"

Zheng Qi shook his head: "He said he would call you over, and said he had something important to discuss. I thought it was related to you."

If it was normal, Li Xian would definitely be very happy when Zheng Qi said this, but today he was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but ask: "You...do you want to discuss marriage?"

Zheng Qi obviously didn't expect Li Xian to ask such a question, he paused and said: "I'm... not in a hurry now." He laughed at himself as he said that: "You also know that my marriage is not very smooth. The horoscopes are all closed again... now there is no need to worry, I can't harm the daughter of a good family anymore."

Li Xian didn't know how to comfort Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi's kind of marriage was probably not going well, but he was sympathetic and happy at the same time.

Li Xian pretended to be calm and said: "Oh, it just so happens that I don't want to get married either, so we can form a single noble group."

Well, Zheng Qi should be considered a member of the nobles now.Zheng Qi didn't speak. To be honest, he didn't understand Li Xian's choice before, but now he understands somewhat. The environment he was in rarely saw the truth, let alone his parents....

It was only one expedition, and he could often hear the soldiers in the barracks miss their wives. Gradually, Zheng Qi also understood that some feelings did not mean that he had never had contact with them. Gradually, Zheng Qi suddenly became envious of Li Xian, and also I envy the person that Li Xian cares about.

It's just that this kind of envy is very light, not enough to shake his goal. If he can really achieve his goal, what if he is alone in this life?

Zheng Qi suddenly fell silent, and Li Xian asked a little unaccustomed: "Speaking of... who was your previous wife? If you can, just hire her again?"

After speaking, Li Xian really wanted to slap himself, damn, is he having a brain twitch?But looking at Zheng Qi's lonely look, he couldn't bear it.

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows: "I told you not to harm the little lady of a good family."

Li Xian understood in an instant, probably that girl... was auspicious, and Li Xian suddenly felt that he didn't know whether to sympathize with Zheng Qi or the girl who married Zheng Qi.

After Li Xian returned to the palace, he thought about what he said before getting married, so he couldn't help but secretly asked Gan Baicheng, where is the most accurate combination of horoscopes?

Gan Baicheng's ability to associate is extremely rich, and he immediately thought of his own king, maybe it seems that he has a little lady he likes?

Gan Baicheng was in a bit of a dilemma. Things like horoscopes can only be combined after exchanging Geng posts. The king of Zhou has an unusual status, and horoscopes cannot be given to anyone casually. What's more... how did his king get the horoscope of his little lady?

If he asked, Li Xian would take it for granted that the answer was given by the other party's father, but he didn't intend to tell Gan Baicheng any more, he just asked and then pretended to say: "I heard that Qingcheng is going to discuss marriage. I’m not very familiar with him after moving here, so I’ll ask for him.”

Gan Baicheng didn't believe it in his heart, but Li Xian put on an expression that whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, so he couldn't say anything.

Later, Li Xian secretly went to the Guanyin Temple to find someone to combine the horoscope, and finally the fortune teller told him that the two horoscopes are very good, it can be said that it is a match made in heaven.

Li Xian was instantly satisfied. Of course, there was still one thing he didn't say - why do these two horoscopes seem like a man's life?Could it be that he made a mistake?

Just when Li Xian was secretly happy, the call from his parents arrived. Li Zhi and Empress Wu said: Son, there is no place for you to experiment here, so you go to receive foreign envoys.

Yes, after arriving at Jiucheng Palace, Li Xian was basically unemployed. This place is beautiful and surrounded by mountains. Of course, it does not mean that the environment around Chang'an is not good. The main reason is that the geographical location is different. It's time to set up an experiment field again, and if Li Xian is made to run back and forth, it will definitely be abused.

It was only now that Li Xian knew that the Tubo envoys were on their way, but every time it was not just a country that came to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, this time there were also the Lion Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom.

Li Xian felt a little helpless when he saw the word "Wa Guo". Among all the surrounding countries, Japan came the most, but the tribute from Japan was always a little worse than other countries.

To be honest, Li Xian didn't want to receive these envoys, but he had done this last time and let him come this time. Of course, Zheng Qi, the young minister of Honglu Temple, was also busy here with him. The position has never been withdrawn.

Among these three countries, Tubo is actually the most difficult to receive. As a defeated country, Tubo naturally wants to cede land and pay compensation, but the speed in the middle is not easy to grasp.

The envoy sent by Tubo was called Zhong Cong. It is said that he had been to Tang Dynasty when he was young and had studied in Taixue, so he was familiar with the culture of Tang Dynasty.

This person Li Xian threw him to Zheng Qi to deal with. Zhong Cong is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion. To be honest, from the appearance, this man is more like a Central Plains man than a Turkic man. He said The person who spoke was Tang Yayan, who spoke well and well, and Li Xian felt that this person was a bit difficult when he first met him.

As the defeated party, Zhong Cong was so calm that he could even say during chats: Tubo lived in the field of cold dew, with few products, the shadow of the Wuhai, snow in midsummer, and winter fur in summer.Follow the water and grass to graze, and when it is cold, the city will be filled with tents.Misuse of utensils is one in ten thousand in China, so to speak.

While saying that his living conditions are not good, he praised Datang a little bit, and then... the negotiating team led by Zheng Qi had a dispute with Zhong Cong over the issue of compensation.

Datang naturally wants to expand its territory. The four towns around Anxi Dufu are very important to the Silk Road. Mastering them is equivalent to choking the economic lifeline of the Silk Road. This is why Tubo came to attack here The reason, to put it bluntly, is not only because of wanting a bigger territory, but also driven by interests.

If Datang wants to fully control that side, he must continue to advance the territory, but Tubo hopes that Datang can transfer the army back. After all, the Tang army is now very close to Luoxie, let alone the army is very far away from Shouyi. Recently, no matter which country the monarch is afraid of, he will not be able to sleep well at night.

What Tubo means is that we can give you things, and we will lose money and things, but you must leave our territory.

Zheng Qi here is very cunning and said that we have won the land of Datang, and you have no reason to leave. Anyway, there is no such thing as a boundary line these days ╮(╯▽╰)╭Actually, Li Xian doesn’t understand , why Zheng Qi and the others are so stubborn, according to Li Xian... If you don't want to destroy Tubo directly, it's better not to garrison troops near Luoxie. After all, the guard force in Shouyi must be the strongest in the country. If you want that piece of land, you must station the army there, in case the other side will retake the land after the army withdraws.

But even if the army is stationed, it may not be able to make the other party really calm down. It is better to ask Tubo to pay a large sum of money, and we will withdraw.

But Zheng Qi felt that part of the land could be returned to the other party, but not all of it. After all, this also involved the Silk Road territory that Datang had not controlled before. Doesn't it mean that they have trouble with money?

Regarding this, Li Xian said... This question is too complicated, you guys talk about it slowly, I'd better go to the Lion Kingdom to play.

The name of the Lion Kingdom is very interesting. The reason for this name is that people in this country are good at domesticating lions. This time, the Lion Kingdom contributed a pure white lion. Albino animals were considered auspicious in ancient times, so a pure white lion It is estimated that it is the only one in the Lion Kingdom, and it also represents the sincerity of the Lion Kingdom to Datang.

It's just that most of the people in the Lion Kingdom are relatively dark, so the attitude towards them in Datang can only be regarded as mediocre, and the only one who is better is probably Li Xian who is not racially discriminatory.

Compared with the cunning of the Tubo envoys, the lion envoys were a little bolder. There were two reasons why they came to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute. First, the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and second, they hoped that the Tang Dynasty could help them.

Yes, because the Lion Country is located on the Indian Ocean, with a good climate and abundant products, such a place is naturally coveted by people, and it is the Tamils ​​who covet this place.

In fact, strictly speaking, the people of the Lion Kingdom and the Tamils ​​moved there later, and there were often constant wars between them in order to compete for resources.

Although the lion country is rich in products, the mineral products are not very good, and their technical level is not good. Naturally, various weapons and equipment are not as good as Datang, and they are not far from Borneo. After knowing Borneo and Datang After they had trade contacts, they also moved their minds - in terms of products, they are richer than Borneo, go, go to Datang to find a backer!

After hearing this, Li Xian was very happy. Datang is not short of money or food!Moreover, the more the surrounding countries need to trade with Datang, the more important the status of Datang's currency in the world will be. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in this!

After listening in on the deal with Borneo last time, Li Xian is almost able to negotiate with the Lion Kingdom alone this time, and it is obviously much easier to negotiate with the Lion Kingdom than with the Borneo Kingdom. The variety of crops that the Lion Kingdom can provide Li Xian was a little surprised by the quantity and quantity.

Later, he took a look at the map and realized that, what the hell, isn't the location of the lion country the location of Sri Lanka in later generations?This place is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.

Such a fat sheep, if it is not slaughtered, it will not be slaughtered, Li Xian became a black-hearted capitalist, but what he did not expect was that the Lion Kingdom accepted his conditions very happily, and Li Xian felt a little bit sorry for it and wanted to give them some degree of preference.

In the end, Li Zhi was very surprised by the answer sheet that Li Xian handed over to Li Zhi, because according to the price of Datang, the price of those food crops is really no different from that given for nothing, and the price of weapons... …Hehe, basically all the ones we traded out were already lagging behind or eliminated.

Li Xian's negotiation here went very smoothly, but Zheng Qi's side had already fallen into a stalemate. At this moment, Ashina Daozhen sent an urgent letter: Tubo general Lun Qinling sent troops to attack the Tang army's garrison!

Li Xian was dumbfounded when he found out: Is Tubo going crazy?Your messenger is still here.

As a result, at this time, the Tubo envoy Zhong Cong also protested: Your general Ashina Daozhen of the Tang Dynasty took the initiative to attack our defenders, and you did not keep your faith!

Li Xian... Li Xian's brain is dead.
