Chapter 823

Shelong controlled himself not to pay attention to Lin Shiling's substance, which disgusted him and made him angry. His old and turbid eyes were staring at a maid in the palace not far from him. After Yu Guang swept Lin Shiling and Quan Yi to leave, his stiff and tense body obviously relaxed.

"Your Highness, since there are still some distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty, why don't you let Gouzi xinnuluo go to meet you? In order not to appear that the six imperial edicts do not understand etiquette and sincerity because of this. " When he spoke, his beard moved more frequently than his mouth.

"No, they are not important officials of the imperial court. There is no need to greet them in a big way, so as not to spoil them with thoughtful and grand etiquette, and it will be difficult to control them in the future." Li Hong motioned to sherong to continue drinking tea, and then he picked up the cup and tasted it easily.

Looking at Li Hong's face with an unknown smile, he was shocked for no reason. He came here today to find out what the purpose of the prince of Tang Dynasty staying here in Nanzhao was.

But up to now, he still has nothing to gain, or has not got a clear answer.

Fortunately, he learned some information from his conversation with the prince. That is, the Tang Dynasty was not satisfied with the current six imperial edicts. He colluded with Princess Fangling in Jiannan Road, and engaged in private trade with Zhenla. Even the affairs of Tubo were mentioned by the crown prince.

He didn't want to believe that his highness told himself that he was going to have a showdown with them by virtue of the 5000 troops stationed in Taihe city. However, the Prince did not mention anything else and did not say how to deal with them. He only mentioned the criminal evidence of Nanzhao.

This made him feel more and more flustered. He couldn't help thinking about the worst, that is to follow the example of Tubo and take charge of the six imperial edicts by the Tang people.

He stopped at his mouth with his tea cup in his mouth. He shook his head and took a sip of tea with a sigh. He began to say, "Your Highness, since you sent troops a few years ago, the land of the six imperial edicts has always followed the example of the emperor of Tang Dynasty. Although there are occasional exceptions in these years, the old minister dares to assure you that whether it is my mengshe imperial edict, Shi Lang Zhao or Yue analytical imperial edict His loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is the same as before. "

"Before, I believe that when you were appointed as the imperial edict of mengshe, I was very relieved about the area of Lingnan road. However, after you passed on the throne to xinulu, I didn't dare to believe the loyalty of this land to the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't worry, your highness. No matter the old officials or the Xi nuluo are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they can be learned from the heaven and the earth. They are not indifferent to the words just said by the minister. Since you sent troops here a few years ago, Liuzhao began to take pride in the people of Tang Dynasty. No matter in the face of the temptation of Zhenla or the bewitchment of Tubo, Liuzhao has always been unmoved, and only knows that he is a Tang people, not a Tang man It is the intention of Nanzhao. " Sherong put down the cup, looking at Li Hong solemnly said.

"That's true, but the imperial court has never been able to do so without any rights..."

When he heard Li Hong say this, he was shocked again. Regardless of the impolite interruption, he said: "Your Highness, whether you come here or other officials of the imperial court, the six imperial edicts have always been treated as Shangguan and treated you with the way of monarchy. He never dared to disobey or despise any official of the Tang Dynasty."

"But the court officials have never come to a good end. Either they were sent back because of mistakes in less than three years, or they died of unexplained infection. In the past two years, no matter in the land of Liuzhao or jiannandao, rangers are everywhere and diseases are rampant. The court has lost 37 officials inexplicably in Chengdu government and still in the place of six imperial edicts. Are these not all coincidence? ”Li Hong put down the cup, his eyes also became dignified, looking at the old face of sherong.

Shelong moved his lips, but he did not choose to argue.

Of course, he knew what happened to the court officials who broke the rules or died of illness.

Since he passed on the throne to Xi nuluo, this has happened several times a year. In this way, officials disappear quietly, or they gather several people to write wanyanshu to "cry injustice and grievance", so that the officials of the imperial court are dismissed for violating the rules, or are killed by Rangers. All these have become their treatment of the lower court in Chengdu government and the six imperial edicts The only way for the officials to succeed is to find the best way. The natural calamities and man-made misfortunes of the Tang Dynasty have never been touched by the six imperial edicts. The appointment and removal of officials are not impassable because of natural disasters or human rights, or officials' illnesses and official disobeying regulations. Do you think the court will be at ease with such a place, independent of the legal system of Datang in the Tang Dynasty? "

" Haidongqing's damaged feathers in Chengdu government have not been fully grown, and they have not recovered their original bright appearance, so they are sent out by Li Hong to start "going to work".

He took the envelope on haidongqing's tough legs like steel, patted haidongqing's head, looked at haidongqing's protest against shelong and then flew away reluctantly.

Li Hong looked back at the secret letter in his hand, and continued to say: "since the six imperial edicts were submitted to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has given a large amount of money and food to this place every year. But has the imperial court ever collected a penny of Nanzhao from taxation and other aspects? If we add in the grain and grass smuggled here by Jiannan Road, I have a rough estimate. With the grain produced by Liuzhao, the grain and grass recorded today can be eaten for five or six years even if all the people in the whole six imperial edicts do not eat or drink! But But he told me that Nanzhao was short of food, and the people were hungry and naked. Why"What does your highness mean?" Shelong surprisingly did not go to refute, but the tone with a lot of helpless asked.

"It's very simple. You've always been close to Tubo and are close neighbors. Now Tubo has been under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. Its people can't live and work in peace and contentment. However, it's history that they are hungry and naked. All this depends on the efforts of Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai and the two people you just met. If a small six imperial edicts had been divorced from the rule of law in the Tang Dynasty, it would be Is it the territory of the Tang Dynasty? The common people Are they the people of the Tang Dynasty

Li Hong looked at the astonished sherong with satisfaction, and again offered to pour tea to the empty glass of sherong. This time, Li Hong even poured the tea flush with the edge of the cup.

If he wants to take the tea and not let the prince pour a drop of tea, he must bow down and drink the tea from the edge of the cup until he can carry it.

Sherong's eyes moved slowly from Li Hong's face to the tea cup that was about to overflow. He moved his lips. Instead of thanking Li Hong again, he murmured: "in this way, how will your highness deal with the old minister and others? I believe your highness is not a ruthless monarch. The six imperial edicts were ruled by officials of Tang Dynasty. I think we and others should not be used by your highness? "

"It depends on how to solve the matter of the six imperial edicts. If it can be solved without a single soldier, the imperial court will not forget your contribution. There are not thousands of noble families in the Tang Dynasty, and there are thousands of families. Do you still care about how many more families?" Li Hong still looked at the glass of the dragon and made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Highness, do you intend to bring earth shaking changes to the six imperial edicts by virtue of these 5000 troops? Although the troops are fine but few, I'm afraid it's a fine slave logic that won't easily agree. " Shelong looked at the palace with some reluctance. This was the place where he lived with xinulu and shengluoyan, but after the prince arrived, it became his residence. His three grandchildren had been driven out of the palace.

"At that time, I conquered Tubo, but I killed one in and one out in Tubo, until I lived in the White Palace. Now I have lived in the palace, and sinulo robbed the three princes of Zhenla last night. Is this the iron evidence of the foreign enemies in Litong? There is strong evidence of collusion with Tubo. I have reason to govern the six imperial edicts from either side, right? Unless it's you, Lao Helong, who doesn't recognize that the six imperial edicts are the territory of the Tang Dynasty now, it will take a lot of hard work to say that I have such a force. " Li Hong sneered, and then watched the Dragon bow his head to drink tea, until the tea will not be picked up when spilled, this slowly brought up.

"I can't guarantee anything. At that time, although the minister voluntarily passed the throne to Xi nuluo, but if he didn't force him, I would not have passed the throne to him so quickly. Although I am old, my body has always been strong and strong. Even now, there will be no big problems in the four sides of the war." Lao She long drank all the tea in his hand, then put down his cup and stood up. He saluted Li Hong solemnly. After looking at the main hall of the palace, he left.

Li Hong didn't get up. Looking at Lao She Long's steps, he suddenly became more vigorous. He walked out of the palace quickly. After his back had disappeared for a long time, he slowly got up and walked to the door.

At this time, Lin Shiling and Quan Yi, with Yang Sijian and others, rushed to the palace from outside.

Although Quan Yi brought only 2000 soldiers, Li Hong was satisfied. What is gratifying is that among the 2000 soldiers, there are not only Tang people, but also about 30% Tubo soldiers and other nomadic soldiers. For Li Hong, it is much more happy than the army composed of Tang people.

"Chen Quanyi and Lin Shiling have met your highness." Once again, they saluted Li Hong, who was still standing at the door.

Li Hong waved his hand at will, and then slowly walked up to Yang Sijian: "whether you participated in the rebellion of Yang zhirou and Li Jingye, I will not investigate. The purpose of coming here must have been guessed. Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai were able to do something in Tubo in those years. I think you can do it Fan is no less than his achievements in politics. In the land of six imperial edicts, I will help you to take care of your worries. I will give you a place to display your talents, but If you can't give me the result I want, you can deal with yourself. "

"Minister I will certainly live up to your Highness's trust Yang Sijian plopped, knelt on the ground and said in a reasonable voice.
