Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Why are there so many people? How do you do things?" Li Zhen was a little displeased. The place where she met Xiao Fuzi was just a small reception room, and it was already crowded enough for seven or eight people to enter. So many people came in... there were actually fifteen people, plus Li Zhen and several court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting around, there were more than 20 people pouring into such a room of less than twenty square meters—not only was it crowded and unbearable , and more importantly, this poses a certain threat to his own safety. If there is an assassin or something, he has nowhere to hide.

"Your Highness, forgive me, this is the servant's fault." Xiao Fuzi hurriedly knelt down to apologize, then turned his head and said something to the first six people who were obviously dressed in a lot of gorgeous clothes. He spoke the dialect of Liuzhao, Li Zhen didn't understand, but according to his tone and demeanor, it could be seen that Xiao Fuzi should be reprimanding them.

"Wow...~!;a();;￥..." The man of Liuzhao knelt down in panic when he heard it, and retreated while kowtowing, obviously knowing what mistake he had made.

After everyone was kicked out, Xiao Fuzi turned around and confessed to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, please forgive me. These people from the Six Edicts live in the mountains all year round. They are barbaric and don't know etiquette. They are all eager to come in to pay homage to the prince. It's strange." The servants didn't make it clear, they thought it was enough to follow the servants, so they all rushed in, if His Highness wants to blame, please blame the servants."

"Forget it, I'm not angry. What are you blaming? This is not what I am angry with. What I want to ask most now is, since they are here to visit me, why are there so many women among them? Are these women also the leaders of Liuzhao?" This is also what Li Zhen is most depressed about, it turns out that except for the six leaders of Liuzhao who followed Xiao Fuzi this time, the remaining nine people are all women. And she was a very young and very beautiful woman.

"Could it be that in your eyes, Ben Gong is the kind of person who is romantic and suave, and who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman? Who spread this rumor? There are others who don't know Ben Gong's character, Xiao Fuzi, you I’ve been with Bengong for so many years, don’t you know? What do you mean?” Li Zhen was drunk thinking about it, she was even more wronged than Dou E, why anyone who went out had to bring back a piece of paper for herself. Lots of beauties?How did he get his reputation for being lecherous?I acted so obviously... Ah bah, I'm not lecherous in the first place.Why do they all think of using beautiful women to please themselves?

Xiao Fuzi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, this is not because I am thinking about it. Anyway, you have so many beauties, so there are not many more, right? Besides, I have been away for so long, so I have to bring you a gift when I come back." A little gift, you definitely don’t like ordinary souvenirs, so the servants just picked some beauties and brought them back for you. Your Highness, you don’t know that although the six edicts are poor, there are too many beautiful girls. The tenderness of each is better than the other, and the servants are so dazzled that they have picked out these few. Don't worry, Your Highness, one is more beautiful than the other, and the temperament is better than the other. Absolute fairy..."

"Shut up..." As soon as Xiao Fuzi said, Li Zhen became even angrier: "Why did you bring these back to me? I..."

Li Zhen really didn't know what to say, "I..." didn't say anything for a long time, and finally patted his head and said dejectedly: "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter first, and give the leaders of the Six Edicts I'll call you in, let's get down to business first."

"Yes."

"It's really..." Looking at the little Fuzi who had withdrawn, Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, if this went on, her Prince's Mansion would not be able to hold it anymore... Ah bah, what is it?These women themselves can't have it at all. Isn't this bad for their own reputation? ...

"Your Highness, they are here." A total of six people came in with Xiao Fuzi. These six people were of different ages, some old and some young. Don't dare to lift a little.

"My minister, Meng Shezhao, Meng Duluo, has seen His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is a thousand years old." As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man in his 30s knelt down towards Li Zhen as soon as he came in, and called out Qiansui. His self-introduction, he should be Meng Duluo, the leader of Mengshezhao.

The other five chiefs of Liuzhao were obviously headed by Meng Duluo, and only after Meng Duluo knelt down did they kneel down next to him.But it's normal when you think about it. In the chaos of the Six Edicts, only Meng Duluo stood firmly on Datang's side, and it was he who withstood the pressure and saved Xiao Fuzi's life at the beginning. It is certain that he is loyal to Datang.

For such a person, of course Li Zhen would no longer be cold-faced, and said softly: "Get up, I have heard about your affairs, Meng Duluo, you have done a good job, and you are loyal to Datang. Datang is not an ungrateful person, don't worry, Datang will never treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." Meng Duluo was overjoyed. Hearing the meaning of the young prince in front of him, what he had done was clearly seen by the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty did not take the pain to kill the donkey. I plan, although I didn't get more detailed information from Li Zhen, such as how Datang plans to reward me, but these are enough - anyway, no matter how Datang plans to reward me, I just need to continue, I But there is no reason to be picky. As for what will happen to the other five?That's beyond Meng Duluo's control.

The situation of Meng Duluo made the remaining five people very envious. The reward from the Tang Dynasty... No matter what the reward from the Tang Dynasty is, it has already expressed an attitude, that is, the Tang Dynasty did not intend to pursue the responsibility of Meng Shezhao— —Because the facts were not as well understood as Li Zhen's. In fact, at the last moment, especially when the Liuzhao was at its most chaotic, Meng Duluo almost gave in and sent Xiao Fuzi out in the face of the advance of the five major tribes.But now it seems that Datang has no intention of pursuing this matter.

"By the way, let me introduce you to these people too." Compared to Meng Duluo, Li Zhen was not as warm as before to the other five people. None of them are enthusiastic, obviously very dissatisfied with this group of grasshoppers.

Li Zhen's expression made the five people terrified even more, because Li Shimin had this expression, and now Li Zhen is also like this, which inevitably made them feel scared—could it be that Datang has already spared his hand, and is ready to forget the old and new grudges together?

Of course Xiao Fuzi knew what Li Zhen meant, so he quickly restrained his smile and introduced one by one: "Your Highness, this is the original picture of the leader of Meng Yuzhao. He defeated several competitors at the beginning of this year and became the new leader."

"I have seen Your Highness." Yuan Zhao is a young man in his 20s. He is also the grandson of the former leader Yu Fushou. Originally, the possibility of him succeeding to the throne was very low. After Yu Fushou died, Yuan Zhao's uncle succeeded him. , As a result, his uncle's family was killed by Xiao Fuzi, his father died early, and the position of leader fell to him.

"This is Bo Ling, the leader of Yue Xizhao."

"I have met Your Highness." Bo Ling was a little older, about the same as Meng Duluo, about 35 years old.

"This is Qianyu, the leader of the Langqiong Zhao."

"I have met Your Highness." Qianyu is older, in his 50s, and he should be a little older than the original leader Fengshi. Fengshi also has many children, and I don't know how he is. Be the leader.

"This is Fengyupu, the leader of the Binyu Edict."

"I have seen Your Highness." Fengyupu is the youngest among all the people, maybe a little younger than Li Zhen, but looking at his muscles and shining eyes, he should be a warrior, which makes Li Zhen can't help but I looked at him twice.

"This is Shi Wang, the leader of Shi Langzhao."

"I have met Your Highness." Shi Wang looked only in his 40s, but his hair was already full of hair, and he didn't know whether he was tired or born with less gray hair.

"Get up." Li Zhen waved his hand lightly to get everyone up, and said bluntly: "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, what have you done before, and what were your thoughts before, these courts don't I plan to pursue it, all of this is in the past. But now that you have chosen Datang, please put away your small thoughts and work for Datang with peace of mind. Don’t blame me if the previous things happen again. You're welcome—you are all proficient in Chinese, and you probably have studied Chinese culture, so you should all know what the phrase 'Don't say it's unpredictable' means.”

"Yes, thank you Your Highness for your kindness." The five chiefs were overjoyed. The previous incident was finally over. Li Zhen had already stated that he would not pursue it. As the prince, he presumably had a great influence in the Tang Dynasty.As for the last half of his sentence, it will never happen again. Datang's war in Nanyang and Tianzhu has already fallen into their hands. They are now extremely frightened by Datang's strength, and it is impossible to do anything else in this life Thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. From now on, Liuzhao will be Datang's nail in the southwest. Anyone who is disrespectful to Datang, Liuzhao will be Datang's best thug." Meng Duluo expressed his position even more. It's called Liuzhao. In fact, these six tribes are not the only ones in this area.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were 37 tribes in the vicinity of Erhai Lake, and six of them were relatively powerful called Liuzhao. Besides them, there was also Kunmi (not the big and small Kunmi in Kucha, but near Erhai Lake) A national name), Jinchi, Hemanbu, Puzibu, Wangbu, Mangbu, etc., but these tribes are not as powerful as Liuzhao, so they are generally subordinate to Liuzhao.

"Hehe, that's good." Li Zhen smiled on the surface, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. He couldn't understand what Meng Duluo meant. He really was an ambitious person...

One thing you may not know is that Mengshezhao actually has another name—because Mengshezhao is located in the south of Zhuzhao, so he also has a name called Nanzhao, which is the predecessor of Nanzhao Kingdom, which later unified the Erhai area. .

According to historical records, it was around the 23rd year of Zhenguan that Meng Duluo became the leader of the Mengshe Zhao, and changed the name of the country to Dameng Kingdom, called King Qijia, and stood on its own in Tiannan until the Kaiyuan year. Piluoge, the fourth king of Mengshe Zhao, completed the great achievement of unifying the six imperial edicts. Because of his meritorious service in "breaking the river barbarians", Piluoge was conferred the title of "King of Yunnan" and became the most ambitious of all the affiliated states of the Tang Dynasty. One (additionally, if calculated according to history, the Cuan people were actually killed by this person), completely created a hegemony that ruled Tiannan for 260 years, and the initiator of all this is me kneeling now Mengduluo (also called Xinuluo) in front of me.

Chapter 1025

Chapter 383 Everyone Offers Gifts

It can be said that the appearance of Li Zhen indirectly affected the progress of the Six Edicts, but it did not affect Meng Duluo's ambition at all. What he said just now clearly expressed his meaning - that is, he can surrender to the Dalai Lama. Tang, to work for Datang, but the condition is that he must maintain the independence of the six edicts, at least the Mengshe edict, so that he can continue to dominate in the south of the sky.

But how could Li Zhen agree to such a condition—Neifu, Neifu, doesn't Meng Duluo even understand what Neifu is?

Sure enough, he is an ambitious person, it seems that this person can't stay...

A very veiled murderous intent flashed away in Li Zhen's eyes. Except for Xiao Fuzi who was most familiar with him, no one noticed it, and it was even more impossible for Meng Duluo to notice it. He is still praising Li Zhen. I am secretly pleased with my own proposal.

"Your Highness, the leaders of the Six Edicts came to pay their respects this time, but brought a lot of rare treasures to His Highness, why don't you let them present them for you to have a look at?" Sensing Li Zhen's killing intent, Xiao Fuzi immediately reminded him, This move was not to cover for Meng Duluo, he was just reminding Li Zhen to pay attention to his attitude, now it is not the same as before, even if there is a murderous intention, it is best not to show it too obviously.

As for preventing Li Zhen from killing Meng Duluo?

That's nonsense, Xiaofuzi has no intention of stopping Li Zhen. Although Meng Duluo is also his savior, Li Zhen is the first loyal person Xiaofuzi has. He doesn't hesitate in anything he does.In his eyes, Li Zhen is the sky, what Li Zhen is going to do must be right, he wants to kill Meng Duluo, not because he can't tolerate people, but because Meng Duluo must die.

And it's not that Xiao Fuzi doesn't know everything, but he remembers that Meng Duluo almost handed himself over when the rumors were at its heaviest. How could such a person deserve to be rescued by him?

What's more, after getting along with Meng Duluo for so long, Xiao Fuzi can be considered to know this person well. On the surface, Meng Duluo seems to be loyal to Datang, but in fact he just sees it from a distance, and understands that the previous crisis has great influence on Da Tang. It’s not a big deal for Tang, the possibility of Datang successfully passing through this catastrophe is higher than 80.00%, which is why he insisted on it before—that is to say, this is actually a gamble by Meng Duluo, and everyone will be happy if he wins. He will become Datang's most important guest.It doesn't matter if you lose, it doesn't matter if Datang collapses in the end, isn't it just a loss of face?At most, he would just lose his own life. Could it be possible that the mastermind behind the scenes could destroy his own Mengshe Zhao?

This is impossible, the enemy has done so much just to cause trouble for Datang, they can't look down on their three melons and two dates.Moreover, although the Six Edicts seem to be in harmony with each other, they are also an alliance relationship after all. Although you are fighting for each other secretly, you still advance together in certain things. For example, when facing foreign enemies, once it is determined that there are foreign enemies who want to attack They, the six imperial edicts will immediately become the most solid allies, and the unanimous six imperial edicts guarantee that the enemy will suffer a lot - except of course the Tang Dynasty, which is too strong, even if the six imperial edicts are combined, it is impossible to stop the Great Tang Tang's soldiers were at the forefront, so they pretended to be grandson in front of Datang.

So don't think that Meng Duluo is a good thing. In fact, no one who can survive in the place of Liuzhao is a simple character, who endures humiliation, opportunistic, strong gambling, and the grass falls with the wind, etc. Their labels are also their rules of survival.The difference is that Meng Duluo made the right bet this time, so he became the most loyal courtier of Datang. Definitely the first person to betray Datang.

"Oh? I don't know what these things are? Come and have a look." Li Zhen frowned, and accepted Xiao Fuzi's proposal. Meng Duluo's status in Datang has greatly increased now, and his ambitions are not at all. It showed that he was still the hottest VIP in Datang, so even if Li Zhen wanted to kill him, she must not make it too obvious.

That is to say, normal methods of killing people must not work. Otherwise, Li Zhen would have no way to explain if people see a clue. huge threat.

The best way is to let him die reasonably, and just right now, Li Zhen has just mastered such an invisible method of killing people, so that no one can see anything wrong...

"Yes." The six chiefs were overjoyed. This time they brought countless treasures, each of which could be called a peerless treasure.However, their foundation in Lingnan is really weak, and the only person they are familiar with is Xiao Fuzi. However, Xiao Fuzi has already seen Tiannan treasures in Liuzhao, and he has a lot of treasures in his hands. He doesn't value their things very much. This has also caused the current dilemma of having treasures in hand but nowhere to put them.Now Li Zhen is willing to accept their treasure, which is undoubtedly showing her attitude.

The first thing that came up was Meng Duluo's gift, he gave a lot of pearls, jade and precious stones, but the most eye-catching thing was a piece of marble with natural patterns on it, this marble has three squares, that's all. What is really amazing is the unique pattern on the marble, which at first glance looks very much like a famous landscape painting, only sketched with a few simple strokes, and the distribution of mountains and rivers is neat and natural, which can be called wonderful workmanship.

Tiannan is rich in products, especially marble, which is a special product in Tiannan. Even the name of this kind of stone is derived from Dali. Among countless hundreds of square meters of marble, only such a natural masterpiece is selected. Of course, it is even more important. It is priceless.

"What a treasure." Li Zhen fell in love with this piece of marble just by taking a look at it. "The Deer and Ding Ji" records that Pingxi King Wu Sangui had three treasures in his life, and one of them was the marble screen.This screen was originally an old thing of the Mu family, the Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty. The stone screen is six feet high. Consider it a treasure.

In "Lianjian Fengyunlu", the congratulatory gift given to the emperor by Mu Wangfu also has such a treasure. Originally, Li Zhen thought that this thing was just made up out of thin air by Mr. Cha and Mr. Chen. Jane, even more beautiful than described in the novel, is absolutely priceless.
