Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 735 Negotiation
After listening to Li Lijun's words, the new king Li Heng, King Guangping, Concubine Yang Gui and Gao Lishi had different reactions.

Li Heng was originally anxious about An Shi's rejuvenation of the army, and he was also very happy that the clan immortals like Li Lijun were willing to contribute to the court. The rumors released were completely fictitious, with ulterior motives, etc., so he hesitated.Even if Li Yu did this to endorse the legitimacy of his succession to the throne, he couldn't help feeling jealous, worried that the old man of the clan could manipulate the emperor's father to protect him from the throne today, and might manipulate the emperor's father to seize the emperor in the future throne.

Since the founding of the country, Li Tang's clan has never lacked usurpers.Although the emperor intends to keep the clan in captivity to prevent them from having the opportunity to hold military power, Li Ti's spells are obviously more terrifying than military power!If he intends to seize power, he doesn't need to lead troops to fight at all, he just needs to let the emperor say a few words, it's hard to guard against!

Li Heng showed a worried expression: "This is too much trouble for the father. What if the old man's condition worsens? Besides, the courtiers and clan are well aware of the father's illness, so they rashly asked the Taoist priest to cast a spell and asked the father to re-emerge." Well... don't they have doubts? Wouldn't the gain not be worth the loss if the enthronement ceremony was complicated? As for Anlu Mountain... since the rebel has long had the heart of rebellion, it is useless no matter who comes forward. He said it was for the sake of his father. The emperor's army is just an excuse. It's not that there are no famous ministers and generals in the court, just let them go out."

When King Guangping listened, he knew what his father was worried about, but he couldn't dismantle his father's position, so he could only follow suit: "Aye's words make sense. My son is willing to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, and he will never call that The traitor ruined my Datang Rivers and Mountains!"

When Li Heng heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore: "The capital is still missing you. Just leave the war to a few generals. You are still young, so even if you want to increase your knowledge, there is no need to be in a hurry."

Their father and son talked to themselves, but Li Yu was impatient to argue with Li Heng, and said to himself: "Are you worried that I will use Xuanzong to seek power in your hands in the future? I advise you to stop thinking about it, and stop procrastinating for power and profit. Arguing procrastinatingly with others, but delaying the business. You are now the king of a country, and it is up to you to place your confidants in any position in the future. Why play tricks with others? The dignity of a gentleman?! It is important to quickly settle the righteous name.

"If you think that Shi Siming's 10,000+ army in Anlu Mountain is just a trivial matter, just send a few generals to stop it, and don't care about the people who are going to be devastated by the war, then you are not a good guy even if you pretend to be a wise king If you sit on the throne and don't do business, like your father, I will never condone it. But if you can manage the Tang Dynasty to be peaceful and prosperous, why should I be troublesome? Who do you think I am? Isn't it better to live happily ever after than to be a mortal emperor?!"

Li Heng's face was a bit ugly, but he didn't dare to refute loudly, so he could only say in a low voice: "It's hard work for the Daoist. The Daoist always thinks of the country, the country, and the country. He has worked hard and is unwilling to be appointed as a national teacher. It really makes me feel uneasy. .I don’t know which branch or branch the chief came from? I can also crown the relatives of the Taoist chief.”

Li Yu sneered: "You want to threaten me with my relatives? Then you just search it! If you can find out, I really want to see my relatives again!" After saying that, he turned to Li Lijun and said, " Si Niangzi, the old Taoist has made preparations on his own. The old Taoist will definitely take care of things in the future, so you don’t need to worry about it. If some people dare to talk too much, you don’t have to pay attention to it. Anyway, he didn’t have much achievements on the throne. You just need to sit on the dragon chair and make a decoration. Send him to his father's bedside to serve the sick, and the old Taoist promises that everyone in the world will praise him as a filial son of heaven, maybe it is in line with his wishes!"

Li Lijun coughed lightly, seeing Li Heng's increasingly ugly expression, held back her laughter.

However, Li Yu did not leave smoothly.He was stopped by Gao Lishi: "Li Xianchang, may I ask if you cast spells on the saint, will it be harmful to the saint's body?"

Li Yu squinted at him, but his attitude was quite kind: "Xuanzong is also a man of his age, if he is required to travel thousands of miles, he will definitely be tired, and he will just come back after recuperating. But Anlu Mountain is completely pampered by him. If he didn't come forward to quell the rebellion, how could he be worthy of the title of Son of Heaven? Does Gao Lishi want him to be infamous in the history books?!"

Gao Lishi was speechless, but he was really worried about Xuanzong's body, so he insisted on serving Xuanzong to travel.

Comparatively speaking, Concubine Yang was calmer at this time: "Is this method sure to work? Since An Lushan was able to collude with evil ways, and decided to raise troops within a few days after the saint's accident, it can be seen that he was well prepared. He intended to Rebelling against the Tang Dynasty may not lead the army back just because of a few words from the sage. Isn't he afraid that the new king will settle accounts later?"

Li Lijun said: "Li Yu and I came up with this method, and we didn't expect that Anshi's army would really retreat. It's just that among the generals who joined him in the army, not all of them may have objections, and some may have fallen for him. Dang, mistakenly thought that the new king had really done something wrong to the saint. When they found out that they had been deceived, they had no turning back. These generals were still somewhat loyal to Datang, and the soldiers under their command were also members of the Tang Dynasty. People. If these people can be saved, it will be good. As for the rebellious officials and thieves such as An Lushan Shi Siming, if they ignore the will of the saints and insist on continuing to enter the country, I have a way to deal with it. There will be no mercy at that time gone."

"That being the case..." Concubine Yang paused, "I will travel with the sage. I have witnessed the sage's relationship with Anlu Mountain in the past. With me reminding him, this Daoist Li will not It’s easy to show flaws.”

King Guangping showed a surprised expression beside him: "Imperial concubine, you are..."

Concubine Yang smiled miserably: "I was also deceived by An Lushan, and mistakenly thought that he was really a loyal and simple person. He has the capital to rebel against the Tang Dynasty today. Of course the saint is responsible, and I... can't get rid of it. Xinjun King Guangping just thinks that I am making atonement for the past. If the saint is still sober, he will definitely have the same idea."

Li Heng stared at her and said, "Is the imperial concubine really thinking about it? This trip...you are going to accompany the father to the border town and expose An Lushan's lies on the top of the city! If the rebels invade the city, the father will We are in dire jeopardy with you! Even if I intend to save each other, I will be beyond my reach!"

Concubine Yang Guifei said indifferently: "The fairy will keep the saint and me safe." She raised her eyes and looked at Li Heng, "It's just...it's not enough for the saint and me to go to the army. If there is no imperial army to support me, An Lu Shan quibbles that the sage and I are counterfeit, so what? The new king must be guarded! If you want to secure the throne and let the world know that you are a legitimate successor, please pay more attention to countering the rebellion."

Li Heng looked away with some guilt: "Of course!" He can take over the throne openly and securely, so why deliberately create a crisis and let the emperor die at the hands of the rebels?As long as Mr. Li doesn't have much to do, even if the emperor lives for another ten or eight years, he won't be able to threaten his status.

It's just... How can I keep Mr. Li from doing too much?
