Crown Tang emperor

The terrain in the east of Chang’an City, because of the Leyouyuan, is high in the north and low in the south. There are buildings in the Hanyu Garden that are only a few feet high, but on this building, you can already have a bird’s-eye view. There are spring breezes coming from all sides, mixed with the fragrance of peaches and plums. Nearby, you can enjoy the beauty of peaches and plums and piles of brocades. From a distance, you can see the clear waves of Qujiang Pool and the waves of tourists on the shore.

"In the old years, when I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, I saw the water vapor was rotten, and the nature of things was almost obscene, which was not as good as the Shuimu Tsinghua University in Beijing. It was just right. The wonderful world of the world is embraced by His Highness, and shared with the common people. Everything in sight is admired by fists and fists. heart!"

Although Li Qianli is quite old, but his bearing is still good. After climbing the tower together, he was half a body behind King Yong, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, pointing to the tents around Qujiang Pond and talking with tourists.

Hearing what Li Qianli said, Li Tong just smiled.When he came to this world, although he traveled to many places, they were only concentrated on the Yellow River.What I saw during the trip, when it comes to natural scenery, each has its own merits.But if it is said that the combination of humanities and nature is the most harmonious, Luoyang, the capital of gods, is the most recommended.

The structure of Chang'an City is like this, no matter whether it is prosperous or not, it feels a little serious, and it is not as easy-going and intimate as Luoyang.When it comes to livability, there is not much comparison between Chang'an and Luoyang.This is not to be taken for granted, after all, Chang'an's important position in the national structure is not reflected in the living conditions.

"My family members have been traveling for many years, and now I finally have to return to my hometown. I am fortunate to inherit the destiny and guard the old business here. I only hope that I will be diligent in personnel affairs and be thorough, so that the scenery will not decay and I will live up to people's expectations."

Looking at the railing for a while, Li Tong pulled Li Qianli back to sit down in the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Although the emperor's order is not to suppress human feelings, but the imperial order imposes, after all, everyone is not free. It is a pleasure to meet you in Beijing now." , comforted by the other's love, let's put aside the trivial matters of the case, the boy of the Zong family is full of admiration, so he should talk about friendship with Wang."

Li Qianli's mission this time was not without embarrassment, so Li Tong set the tone first, let's talk about feelings, not money.If Li Qianli is knowledgeable, it is naturally his clan's seniors and distinguished guests.If this guy doesn't know what's interesting, then there's no point in wasting his feelings, just go and talk to his subordinates.

After Li Qianli heard the words, he bowed his hands again, and replied with a smile: "The length of love is not judged by teeth. In the past, the capital was short-lived, and His Highness is already a national weapon of the former class. Since the farewell, I have heard a lot of voices, and now I am returning to Beijing. Because of hospitality, Xiao Wang has to learn from him both in public and in private, how dare he be self-confident."

Li Qianli was so knowledgeable, and Li Tong was also very satisfied. While summoning the voice to serve the music, he chatted with Li Qianli about some anecdotes about the relationship between the two capitals, and the atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious.As for Li Qianli's mission, they naturally avoided talking about it with a tacit understanding.

If the debt is owed for a long time, there will be an illusion that I don't owe it at all, and Li Tong feels this way right now.Xingtai's situation has improved slightly this year, but it's just not as embarrassing as last year.After last year's tribute was intercepted for personal use and tasted the sweetness, not to mention last year's debt, this year's Li Tong didn't even want to pay it.

So no matter who the court sent this time, it didn't make much difference.The imperial court must have also realized that he planned to continue to be an old man, so he sent Li Qianli, a man with dual identities, to ask for it. More or less must be handed over, not too shameless.

Although it is said that they are not discussing business matters, during the communication process, Li Tong couldn't help but beat around the bush to inquire about the current situation of the court.

The relationship between Xingtai and the imperial court is still deadlocked, and it has neither become worse nor has the slightest tendency to ease.Especially in the case of last year's Autumn Fu has not yet been solved, the communication between the characters has almost come to a complete standstill.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the imperial court completely ignored Xingtai, it's just that the means of various restrictions are no longer as exposed as before.In fact, the imperial court became more meticulous and strict in cleaning up King Yong's influence in Shendu.

Needless to say, the official cleansing of forces has basically been completed since last year.Almost all officials in the court who were related to King Yong were left idle or even relegated. No matter whether the relationship was deep or shallow, the attitude could be said to be in vain rather than indifference.

For example, Wei Anshi, who used to be a member of Li Tonghe Dongwang's residence in the past, only worked in the palace for a short month. When Li Tong went to Qianling to mourn, there was no official affiliation between them.After Li Tong returned to Beijing, his grandmother made it clear that he did not want him to have frequent contacts with people from Guanlong, so there were not many personal contacts between them.

Wei Anshi is a descendant of Jingzhao Wei's family and a representative figure of Guanlong's younger generation. Even if he did not have friendship and interaction with King Yong, his career development would not be affected.As long as there is one more term, he can officially set foot in the ranks of senior officials, or be the governor of the Southern Province, or the governor of Shangzhou.

But because of this seemingly inextricable connection with King Yong, Wei Anshi was kicked out of this fast lane of life, and was sent directly to Sima of Hengzhou, demoted thousands of miles away.

Even the little slippery head Zhang said that after the rank was full, he was originally involved in this year's election, but he was picked out on the eve of the appointment, and his name was directly kicked out of the long list of officials selected by the Ministry of Officials. Embarrassed.

The court's stern attitude is nothing more than expressing one meaning, that is, no matter what public or private negotiations it has with King Yong or Shaanxi Daoxingtai, it is a stain on the qualifications of the court, and it is used to set up talents for Xingtai. obstacle.

Doing so was indeed very effective. Many scholars came to Chang'an from the gods, but most of them traveled and waited and watched. Not many people really went straight to the Xingtai or paid homage to King Yong.What I am afraid of is that after this experience, it may be difficult for the court to take it again in the future.

However, this approach of the imperial court also made the cohesion of the Xingtai team unprecedentedly high.The imperial court forbids them to ride on the wall, so they can only go to Hei with King Yong, or they may go to Bai. Suffocate?

In addition to the official suppression, the imperial court also paid attention to King Yong's influence among the people.Especially when Li Tong incorporated the old clothes club in Chang'an, the old clothes club in Shendu received the attention of the imperial court. He ordered it to disband several times with harsh words, and even directly arrested many key members of the old clothes club, Yan Yan. Plus interrogation.

In court and in opposition, the imperial court was so strict against King Yong's forces, which also made Li Tong lag behind in obtaining news about the development of the Shendu court and changes in the situation. It was not as smooth and timely as before, so he was naturally curious.

It's just that Li Qianli is also a marginalized figure in the Shendu court, and some of the information he can provide is difficult to be confidential.

Although Li Qianli couldn't bring up any confidential information that interested King Yong, this question and answer undoubtedly expanded the scope of the topic.Sensing that King Yong was lacking in interest, Li Qianli leaned over in the banquet and said in a deep voice: "The country has turned from chaos to stability, Your Highness is truly a great contribution. I dare not talk lightly about the affairs of the court. But the affairs of the clan are hard to say now. Coordination, its merits have not yet been completed, I dare to ask if His Highness still has some fun here?"

Hearing what Li Qianli said, Li Tong's eyes froze for a moment, and then he said: "What's going on in the clan is still chaotic, the king will tell you."

Chapter 0689 Luling is secluded and can be used as a footstep

Li Qianli took the initiative to stir up such a topic, and he was quite apprehensive, but he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Right now, it seems that King Yong treats him with more courtesy, but he knows that there is a huge difference in their status. Although it is not possible to talk about the judgment of cloud and mud, if he does not have a layer of imperial life, not all elders of the clan When entering the capital, he will be personally received by King Yong.

After all, the Shendu revolution happened more than a year ago. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, many of the Li family members were ecstatic. Apart from returning to the court to divide the power, the biggest thing was to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors.Over the past year or so, there were many Li Tang clans who came and went in and out of Chang'an, but no one was really treated politely by King Yong.

It doesn't matter if you say that you are busy with affairs, or you say that King Yong is arrogant, in short, the current King Yong has the confidence to be arrogant.

Li Qianli's previous encounters were different from those of other Li clansmen, and his life was quite unsatisfactory after returning to the court. Now that he has an opportunity to communicate with King Yong face to face, he can't help but want to let go of the calculations that have been lingering in his heart for a long time. To pour out.

At this time, King Yong's expression did not show any obvious change of joy or anger, and he just tentatively said: "The descendants of the clan are born rich and honored to enjoy endlessly. But your highness and I, although we have such a noble destiny, we are also often persecuted by the world. What I enjoy today cannot be said to be entirely due to the shadow of my ancestors..."

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words. When it comes to this topic, they, the two big dog-licking scum of the Li family, have a lot of common feelings.But obviously what Li Qianli said was not about the camaraderie. As for what he was going to say, Li Tong had some guesses, and just waited for Li Qianli to continue talking.

"As far as the country is concerned, scholars are judged on their merits. In terms of love, there is also a difference between closeness and estrangement. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Yong divides the administration of Shanchui and the power of Guanxi. .”

At this point, Li Qianli paused for more than a dozen breaths, but seeing that King Yong just smiled and did not show any clearer attitude, so he continued: "But the current situation of the clan is indeed not clear enough. Even the choice of qualifications and expectations is quite misplaced and confused, which is not in line with the rule of sages..."

Having said this, Li Qianli stopped again, staring at King Yong expectantly with his eyes, waiting for King Yong to give him a response.

Seeing that if he didn't speak, Li Qianli didn't dare to continue talking, so Li Tong smiled, and then sighed: "Inside and outside the court, I can still try to say something boldly. But the family's right and wrong is far from a kid. He can talk freely. Before returning to the imperial court, Duke Longxi’s voice was hidden and seldom known to the world, and returning to the imperial court to suddenly seize a high position is indeed somewhat unconvincing."

Hearing what King Yong said, Li Qianli couldn't help heaving a long sigh of relief, and said hastily: "Not only can't you convince the crowd, but the crowd is full of grievances! Is it an ordinary time for a prime minister to stand in the court? The affairs of the clan So complicated, how can vulgarity be able to arbitrate!"

The Duke of Longxi they mentioned to each other is Li Sixun, the Prime Minister of the current court.Li Sixun worshiped the Prime Minister as a prisoner in the palace, and also led Zong Zheng's affairs. It can be said that he is one of the most prominent figures in the court of Li Tang's clan today.

Li Tong and Li Sixun didn't have any problems, or they didn't have any intersection and understanding at all.In addition to knowing that his calligraphy and painting skills are good, he also knows that Li Sixun is the uncle of Li Linfu, a traitor in the Tang Dynasty, and then he doesn't know much about it.

Of course, no matter whether you know it or not, based on Xingtai's current relationship with the court, any prime minister is a potential or direct enemy of Xingtai.Li Sixun's qualifications are shallow. Before abandoning his post and going into hiding, the only qualifications that can be checked are that he used to be the county magistrate of Jiangdu.It is really unreasonable to return to the pilgrimage with such qualifications, the roots are too weak.

Although he also has the identity of the Tang clan, but his birth in the Xun royal family itself is already very alienated from the serious Li Tang royal family.As one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Hu was the ancestor of the Li Tang clan.

Li Yi, the king of Xun, is Li Hu's sixth son, and they forked from here.Just look at the fact that Li Qianli's nephew Li Yi did not avoid the taboo of King Xun when he named him, which shows the closeness.

Li Qianli directly pointed out that his blood relationship is estranged, and he is not considered their family at all, so he has his own confidence.Li Qianli, as the eldest son of Wu Wang Li Ke, is a cousin of the current emperor's grandfather.When Wu Zhou Dynasty focused on killing Taizong and Gaozong's descendants, Li Qianli's family can be said to be the closest relatives to the emperor's lineage.

As for Li Sixun, who was born in the Prince Xun's house, he was an outer relative who couldn't even be ranked as a cleanser, but now he has such a high status in the court and in the clan, Li Qianli is naturally very dissatisfied with this.

Especially when his personal life was so neglected, looking at Li Sixun, who was so popular, his mentality really collapsed, and he almost directly accused the current emperor of improper employment.

Now that the king of Yong said that he didn't like Li Sixun too much, Li Qianli was naturally overjoyed, but there was still one shortcoming, that is, what King Yong said was only about the affairs of the court, but he didn't talk about the right and wrong of the clan, which made Li Qianli conceived Some long-term words are not easy to say directly.

It was inevitable that Li Qianli wanted to change his situation, otherwise Wu Zhouchao would not have licked so hard.In previous years, it benefited from this, but now it is trapped here.

With such a bad track record, Li Qianli didn't expect him to replace Li Sixun as prime minister and become the representative of Li Tang's clan in court.After all, Li Sixun's foundation is weak, while his foundation is damp and dirty. The imperial court, including the emperor himself, will certainly not accept him too much.

But even if you can't pay homage to the prime minister, the blood status of being an elder of the clan is not fake.Now the emperor has surpassed him and used Li Sixun as Zong Zhengqing to handle various matters of the clan. This is simply treating him as dead!

Naturally, Li Qianli hated this so much, so after entering the capital, he obeyed King Yong and didn't even mention the official business of asking for Qiufu. status.

However, King Yong made it clear that he was not interested in the rights and wrongs of the clan. Although Li Qianli was not very moral, he really couldn't bear to complain for a while.

After pondering for a while, Li Qianli suddenly sighed again, and then said: "Reading recently, watching the records of the predecessors, there is a theory of far-reaching and small grass, and it is profound when you feel it. Personnel and affairs are vaguely similar. Scholars in the Manchu Dynasty , but I don’t know this chapter!”

Li Tong was immediately happy when he heard this. The so-called Yuanzhi Xiaocao was Hao Long from Jin Dynasty who used things as a metaphor to ridicule Xie An.Of course, Xie An, as a romantic prime minister, presided over the battle of Feishui has contributed to the survival of the Eastern Jin court, such an evaluation is naturally slander.

However, when Li Qianli mentioned this, he obviously meant something, and he was talking about the current emperor Li Dan.He lived in seclusion for many years, and in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, he was the heir of many Tang family veterans who swore to protect him to the death, and he placed the expectations of many people.But since he came out of the palace and took power, he has been so incompetent and chaotic, which is quite in line with Yuanzhi Xiaocao's evaluation.

This is much more profound, and Li Tong will not express his opinion easily.He doesn't have any dissatisfaction with his fourth uncle, it's just that they are coerced by the current situation and have to confront each other. In terms of personal feelings, he even has some sympathy for his fourth uncle, which is why he is unworthy and struggling.

Besides, even if he had any dissatisfaction with the emperor, he would not discuss it with Li Qianli, an idler. He just lamented that their Li family really didn't have many good quarrels. Li Qianli's words have reached this point, so it is conceivable that he must be full of conspiracy and calculations.

Li Qianli waited for a while, seeing that King Yong did not resonate, he thought that what he said was still a little vague, so he simply gritted his teeth and continued: "There is more than one incident in the family's situation! It can affect the safety of the country. Nowadays, the political situation is chaotic, and there is no lack of critics, especially compared with the political Qingming in Shaanxi Province, it is even more lamentable!"

"That said, it's too serious. The theory of Kusano's teeth grinding is one to listen to and doubt. The politics of the court is still remarkable."

Even if Li Tong had any conspiracy, he wouldn't talk too deeply with Li Qianli. It was a pleasure to listen to this guy's complaints, but if he continued to talk, he might lose his standard.

"His Royal Highness implements benevolent government internally and destroys powerful bandits externally. Whatever is created can be seen with eyes and heard with ears! Commentators whispered that the reason why His Highness is still in the second place now, and the great tools have not been fully utilized is nothing more than being trapped in the old world. People are just stubborn. If it weren't for this difficulty, Tang Ye could already be called a man!"

Li Qianli's words reached this point, so he was naturally unwilling to stop there, so he simply got up and continued to make a generous speech: "Yuanzhi Xiaocao, now it is clear that there is a sentence! The people of Shengmin are more eager to be cured, and this is also what people think. Your Highness is now or Beset by various emotions, I had to stop at Kansai, but these constraints are not unsolvable. You should know that there is still one weapon in the clan. Luling is still there, and you only need to wait for the time to draw it. His Highness has made great achievements in the past Expelled, if again..."

Seeing that Li Qianli was not at the end of the day, Li Tong urged him to welcome his third uncle Li Xian back. He frowned and did not speak. He just put his sword on the case and looked into Li Qianli's eyes. It also became colder.

Li Qianli was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, but he still argued strongly: "Luling is a stranger in the court, if His Highness invites you to return to the court, all the plans will come from His Highness, sincerely." It can be used as a stepping stone! Your Highness is now guarding the ancestral property, and the imperial court will find it difficult to control it. Once Luling returns to Beijing, it will become even more divided into courts..."

"This remark is scattered in the spring breeze, and it will not hurt the harmony of the clan! Since King Yu Lin is an elder of the clan, he should always take measures to correct the situation. I don't regard the deep meaning behind the words as a sin. The sword is always sharpened, and it kills more than tens of thousands. , but only those who can be accommodated in my love, the flesh and blood in it cannot bear to try this edge."

Li Tong looked down at Li Qianli who was prostrate on the ground, and flicked his sword lightly and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that King Yong's reaction was far from what he had expected, Li Qianli was already extremely terrified, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help thinking of luck.It seems that his words were finally listened to by King Yong, and it was only because the friendship between them was still shallow that King Yong did not respond positively to him.

"It's really out of proportion to speak out loudly! Fortunately, Your Highness tolerated a lot. The king's teachings are profound, and you must keep them in your heart. If you have words or deeds, you will never dare to go far beyond your Highness's love!"

Chapter 0690 The king is my envoy, giving you riches and honor

Li Tong has never liked dealing with old guys very much, not that most old guys don't like him very much.

Of course, there are some reasons for this, but the most fundamental reason is that no matter how respectful people are on the surface, there is always a sense of superiority born of profound experience in their hearts, and they can't help criticizing personnel and affairs inside and outside their words and deeds. give pointers.

It's not that the experience of the old guys is worthless, but Li Tong can really boast that when it comes to the direction of his family and country, I have seen more than 300 years more than you. I can think of some problems that you can think of, and I can think of problems that you can't imagine, so there is no need to rely on the old to sell the old.

Li Qianli is such an old guy, and he thinks he can give Li Tong advice.His proposal, regardless of the consideration of conspiracy and power, essentially believes that Li Tong is too young and too inexperienced after all, so that he risked his life for great achievements, but in the end others picked up the trick.

In Li Qianli's view, it was absolutely a foolish plan for King Yong to let the emperor's heir go out of the palace and even serve as the emperor after the revolution in Shendu.Before and after the Wu Zhou Dynasty, although the emperor Li Dan had always been a puppet, as a symbol of Li Tang Guozuo's inheritance, his reputation was far from that of King Yong who boasted about his achievements.

The coup in Shendu started the court. King Yong controlled the Beiya at that time, so he should control Li Dan who lived in seclusion in Da Nei, and use the emperor to order the princes to control all internal and external powers in his own hands, and then make a plan later.

However, although King Yong had the courage to start an incident, he did not have the thoroughness of planning. He made Emperor Li Dan collude with the foreign court, so he lost the dominant power after the coup, and eventually even himself was squeezed out of the court.The Daxingtai of Shaanxi Dao now seems to have a strong momentum, but in fact, King Yong is already in a situation of internal and external troubles.

On the other hand, Emperor Li Dan is much smarter.Before that, he had been living in the deep palace as a puppet. It can be said that he had no power to protect himself. First, he was able to get out of the palace by relying on King Yong's uprising, and then he used the power of the veterans of the Tang family to force King Yong out of the court and let King Yong He had no choice but to lead his army to fight with Zhufan Hu.

Although King Yong's outstanding ability is indeed surprising, the consecutive victories make the momentum even stronger than before.However, the emperor also quickly adjusted his strategy and divided the land of Shaanxi to create a platform, which seemed to give King Yong a lofty and detached status, but it also forced King Yong not to return to the capital and get involved in the highest power.

At the same time, taking advantage of the pressure on the imperial court created by Xingtai, the emperor quickly dealt with uncontrollable strong ministers like Li Zhaode, and the emperor's authority was fully displayed.

From Li Qianli's point of view, in the series of events after the coup, King Yong was brave and foolhardy, while the emperor showed his sophistication. He deserves to be a character who can suffer for so long under the majesty of the heroine, and his methods are far beyond that of King Yong. .

Of course, it is not that King Yong has no chance of turning the tables. The chaos in the Wu Zhou Dynasty is profound, and it will not be cleared up in a short time.In particular, there is another big variable that King Luling still has not entered the game. This is the opportunity for King Yong to stand up.

In terms of patriarchal law, the king of Luling is the candidate for successor to the emperor's posthumous edict.It was also after the abolition of the establishment that the empress dowager finally gained the power to control the court, and finally acted as the heroine.

At present, King Luling is far away in Fangzhou, and the court has no support at all.Although the emperor initially took control of the court, his prestige has not yet been fully established, and there are still many people who have encountered injustice like himself inside and outside the court.

King Yong is a young man of his family, with great achievements and a share in the power of Shanxi. If he is able to take the initiative to welcome King Luling back, no one will be able to stop him, and no one will dare to stop him.Once the King of Luling and King Yong are united, the emperor of Shendu will be nothing to worry about.

Compared with Emperor Li Dan, King Luling has been outside the central government for a long time, and has no foundation in the court. The only thing he can rely on is King Yong who welcomes him back to the country.With King Luling in his hands, King Yong could completely avoid the oppression and restriction of the imperial court in terms of patriarchal justice, and could greatly alleviate the situation of being trapped in Chang'an and being forced to fight endlessly with barbarians.

This is one of Li Qianli's few choices to break the situation based on his understanding of King Yong's situation.

Li Qianli's line of thought, even if Li Tong couldn't see it as clearly as palm prints, he could still guess it pretty well.Not to mention whether this strategy helped him greatly or not, at least it was definitely a big opportunity for Li Qianli.

Once he listened to Li Qianli's advice and brought the King of Luling to Chang'an, not to mention whether there would be a civil war between the two capitals immediately, at least Li Qianli's sense of existence was strong.

In the future, as long as his fourth uncle is not in charge, Li Qianli can guarantee that he will make great contributions. Anyway, the current emperor doesn't want to see him at all.If Li Tong can step on his third uncle to succeed in the future, Li Qianli will of course be credited for making contributions.If his third uncle took care of his fourth uncle and him one after another, that would be even more serious. Without Li Qianli's lobbying and instigation, how could Li Xian turn himself around?

In short, as long as this great cleverness speaks out, no matter how their family fights to death, they can wait for the work leisurely, and don't make too much noise if they wish.

So after listening to Li Qianli's Chen policy, Li Tong was really in a complicated mood.Their Li Jialun's love is really hard to describe, each of them is already very wild in their hearts, and coupled with this kind of horrific relatives' instigation, it's no wonder they can be harmonious.

He even suspected that the reason why Li Chongjun, the Jimin prince in history, launched the Jinglong coup was that he was limped by Li Qianli and the like, and after a commotion, the Xuanwu Gate was destroyed.

It's true that Li Qianli is unwilling to be lonely, but it's hard to say that he made such remarks to harm himself. After all, once Luling returns to the court, there will be more variables, and overall it is still beneficial to Li Tong.

But the advantage of this is that under the premise of ignoring the threat of troubles from all sides, this is what Li Tong is trying to avoid.Li Qianli didn't even know the reason and motivation for leaving the capital, so there was really no need to say anything else.

Although this guy is restless, it is not enough to kill him directly.After all, killing a Zongwang directly, no matter whether there is a passable rhetoric or not, will always have a lot of negative effects.He wasn't worried whether this guy would turn around and sell himself out, and inform the court that he had plans to take back Luling.

It doesn't matter what his fourth uncle thinks if he wants to mess with him.And if he wants to mess with his fourth uncle, it doesn't make much sense whether Luling comes back or not.

The current balance of confrontation between the imperial court and Xingtai is based on the fact that neither of them has the strength to swallow the other in one bite.If Li Qianli thinks that he can claim credit from the imperial court with this framing, Li Dan will have to kill him first, what nonsense, I have a good relationship with my nephew, the entire Li family belongs to King Yong and I am the closest!

However, this guy Li Qianli's actions to push him always made Li Tong unhappy, and he felt that he had to squeeze some use out of this guy.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong said with a smile to Li Qianli: "Although I have been away from the capital for a long time, I also know that the capital is always expensive. If there is no capital to maintain it, it is not easy to live for a long time. Wang Jiuli is out of the state, and he returned to the capital. , I think it’s inevitable to be in trouble, right?”

Because King Yong's reaction exceeded his expectations, Li Qianli was already worried.

At this time, when I heard that King Yong had changed the topic from grand plans for the country to small family affairs, I couldn’t help but hesitate for a while, but after a while, I was overjoyed, thinking that although King Yong didn’t accept his plan directly, he still wanted to give him a big reward. Encourage his progress.

With such thoughts in mind, Li Qianli began to complain bitterly about his poverty, and described his family's embarrassing living expenses in Shendu.

Li Tong listened carefully to Li Qianli's grievances with a smile, and knew in his heart that although the description was exaggerated, it might not be completely false.Although the children of the clan are of good background, they are not rich and carefree.

Li Tong was deeply touched by this point. In the old year, their brothers just came out of the court. Although they each had closed households, fields, salaries, food, etc., the expenses for the scene were not small. In terms of income and expenditure, it can only be said to be negligible. There is a surplus.This is also because at that time the brothers hardly had any human relations, and just closed the door to live by themselves.

Li Qianli was over 50 years old, he must have had a group of wives and concubines, and a house full of children. He himself was not welcomed by the court, and he would not be fat if he was entrusted.A large family eats horse chews, plus all kinds of human expenses, and only rely on one person's salary to maintain it. It is not enough to have food and clothing. In short, the life will not be too affluent.

Back then, Li Tong even had to bring goods to wealthy merchants in the two cities to earn some extra money. When he came to Chang'an, his wife Yang Li showed off her wealth and flaunted her wealth.Up to now, with the power he has, he doesn't need to count the amount of furniture, as long as he wants to get the money, it's all Lao Tzu's.

Since Li Qianli did not have such qualifications, he was a bit exaggerated when he spoke at first, but gradually he became sincere: "The imperial court only thinks that the treasury is empty, and they are harsh on the expenses of the clan. , the family has not seen the fine brocade for several months..."

Ordinary people don't cook and drink, and they look haggard, so they feel that the road is poor and bitter.But for a clan king like Li Qianli, his family has been serving the old for many years, which is already extremely unsatisfactory.

After listening to Li Qianli's narration, Li Tongcai said again: "The king is a noble relative of the clan, how can he be poor for a long time, and give you a fortune!"

In Li Qianli's expectant eyes, Li Tong asked again: "If I remember correctly, the concubine should be from the Murong family. I don't know how deeply she is related to King Qinghai?"

Although Li Qianli was a little strange when he heard the words, he still replied: "My wife's family background is traced to Beiyan. Although it has the same origin as the Tuyuhun tribe, it has been branched for hundreds of years..."

Li Tong only knew that Princess Li Qianli was the Murong family, but he didn't know the specific lineage, but this did not affect his plan, so he continued: "Qinghai King Murong Zhong is evil to me. Avoid disaster. After the king returned to the capital, he went straight into his hall to take his heavy goods, only saying that he could help him settle his previous grievances."

Hearing that King Yong did not reward him directly, Li Qianli was slightly disappointed, but he was also quite enthusiastic about being able to use King Yong's power to blackmail a foreign king, so he quickly asked: "How much did Murong Zhong offend His Highness? If His Highness is hard to dissipate, how dare I end up boasting based on my own selfish desires..."

"The king doesn't need to ask about this matter. In short, I will not let this person go. If the king can lead him out of the capital, then all the wealth owned by the capital will be owned by the king. This statement is from me. Who dares to take it against his will? And send the king a fortune!"

Murong Zhong, an old cunning man, Li Tong hated his teeth itching when he thought of it, but it's a pity that this guy was huddled in the gods and never came out, so he couldn't make a move.
