People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1206 The Power of the Emperor

"He Zhizhang, the lieutenant of Tongren County, was given the post of scholar and scholar, the scholar Lu Zangyong was given the post of official, the scholar Bi Gou was given the post of official, and the scholar Chen Zi'ang was given the post of general Lin Lang..."

As Li Xian's voice fell, He Zhizhang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou, Chen Zi'ang and others stepped forward one after another and accepted the order.

Li Xuan knelt down calmly and looked at everything with calm eyes.

Although the emperor had said before that he would give a reward, to be honest, the current reward specifications have exceeded his expectations.

The emperor actually appointed a large number of ninth-grade casual officials, which means that these people have now been deeply imprinted on the East Palace.

With Li Xian's imprint, these people can become a huge team for Li Xian in the future.

There was a hint of relief in Li Xuan's eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a few vague prying eyes, which suddenly fell on him.

Li Xuan subconsciously turned around, but immediately thought that this was the Tai Chi Hall.

Once you move too big, you will immediately attract the attention of others, and you may even be impeached for violating etiquette.

Perhaps aware of this, other prying eyes did not withdraw. Instead, at this time, more and more eyes fell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused.

Immediately, the corner of his eye fell on He Zhizhang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou, Chen Ziang and others, and he suddenly woke up.

These people are not only deeply marked by the brand of Donggong, but also deeply marked by Li Xuan.

These people are all extremely outstanding scholars of this generation.

He Zhizhang, Lu Zangyong, and even Bi Gou have people behind them to support them. In the future, they will all have the lowest official position of the fourth rank.

Imagine that one day in the future, even if only four or five of these people stand in this hall at the same time, you can imagine how much impact it will have on the situation.

Not to mention Li Xuan herself.

……

Seeing the constant changes in Li Xuan's expression, Pei Yan stood in the queue, frowning slightly and looking surprised.

What is the King of Nanchang going to do?

He edited "Qie Yun", recruited scholars, wrote "Han Lun" and "Wandering Zi Yin", and spread his literary fame.

If it was last night, Pei Yan couldn't help but suspect that Li Xuan was carrying out Wang Mang's old affairs, but today, when Wang Dezhen and Qu Chongyu began to intervene in front of the Taoist army, Pei Yan understood that Li Xuan's actions now seemed to completely destroy him. Luo's affairs before the Taoist army were opened before the emperor's eyes.

There is a vague... feeling that is hard to put into words.

It seems that he is already thinking about letting go of Luo Xiu in front of the Taoist army. However, when the Tang Dynasty attacks Luo Xiu, Li Xuan must be the commander-in-chief.

After all, the weather on the plateau was unusual, and not many Tang soldiers and people could adapt to it, especially when the emperor also transferred Wang Xiaojie back.

Li Xuan's responsibilities in Luoxuedao have become more and more important.

Not only to attack Tubo, but even to govern Tubo in the future, Li Xuan would need to stay for several years until the situation stabilized before he would be transferred...

Pei Yan's eyebrows drooped, and he finally grasped the biggest problem.

Emperor.

If the emperor is in power today, then no one has to worry, but what if there is a change?

Li Xian.

Pei Yan could clearly feel Li Xuan's pessimism about the future situation.

He was worried that once the person on the throne was changed, the imperial court would definitely not allow him to stay in Tubo. He might be transferred back to any idle position in the imperial court, or even be given a border governorship. Such fear It has reached the point of being extremely sensitive.

But then I think about it, such sensitivity may not make sense.

Li Xuan took down Tubo and governed Tubo. I don't know how much power he secretly accumulated.

Such a force, even if it does nothing, will make some people feel like a thorn in their back.

This person will not be Li Xian, but it will be someone else.

Queen of Heaven, even Webster.

It is precisely because she felt this fear that Li Xuan did not hesitate to show off her talents, and at the same time made arrangements in advance to prepare for the future.

He was ready to give up everything on the front line and then take up any idle position in the army.

It's just a casual job, but he has already started to arrange it very early.

Imperial College.

Once Li Xuan is made the prince of the country, even if he is not the prime minister, he will have prestige and influence comparable to the prime minister.

……

Pei Yan raised his eyes slightly and subconsciously wanted to look at the emperor, but he still suppressed it forcefully.

He knew that Li Xuan's actions were all for the emperor to see.

The emperor was also satisfied with this kind of behavior. As long as Li Xuan was willing to obey the emperor's order, the emperor would agree with a little thought.

The emperor even directly appointed Qu Chongyu and Wang Dezhen as deputy general managers of the Luoxue Road march.

At the same time, it also deeply revealed another point: the emperor had considered transferring Li Xuan back.

Everything depends on when the situation in Tibet can be completely stabilized.

At that time, it may be the time for Li Xuan to leave Tubo.

The 30,000 elite cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were controlled by a clan king. Even the most trustworthy emperor would probably break out in a cold sweat when he came back from his dream in the middle of the night.

Li Xuan is also aware of this problem. Since returning to Beijing in August last year, he has shown enough meekness.

He even gave up martial arts and planned a literary career.

Because Wentu itself was the least threat to the imperial power.

Just like him and Pei Xingjian.

The reason why Pei Yan gritted his teeth and fought for the position of prime minister with Pei Xingjian, who commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, was because he could see through the emperor's mind.

The cold and ruthless emperor.

Just the prince.

Pei Yan's eyes fell on Li Xian after reading out the imperial edict.

What will happen after the prince ascends the throne in the future?

With a slight glance, Pei Yan glanced at Empress Wu, who was sitting high on the imperial couch.

The next moment, Pei Yan had lowered his head to show respect, just like Li Xuan.

It's just that my heart is boiling infinitely.

……

"My lords." Li Zhi sat on the high platform, looked at everyone calmly, and said calmly: "Two years after Tiaolu, a major event for the country, pacifying the Turks and defeating Tubo, no one can slack off... The envoy of Tubo! "

The Tubo envoy Zabala looked ugly. He had kept a low profile today and did not even do anything as presumptuous as asking the emperor for a marriage. Unexpectedly, the emperor would not let him go. Zabala walked out to the palace and stood, holding his hands forward: "The foreign minister Zabala, the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, and then said: "From today on, the envoy can return to Tibet."

Zabala was stunned, what, he heard it right.

The emperor asked him to return to Tibet.

No, Zabala quickly realized that the emperor was telling him that from today on, Tubo would no longer be a country.

At least in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was destined to be destroyed.

"Your Majesty, foreign ministers have the responsibility to stand in Chang'an and communicate with Tang Dynasty and Tibet..." Before Zabala could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I have a message here. The envoy will take it back and hand it over to the leader of your country and the Prime Minister." When Li Zhi mentioned the word Prime Minister, there was infinite ridicule in the corner of his mouth.

Wang Fulai held the black brocade box in his hand, walked down the golden steps, and placed it in front of Zabala.

Zabala raised his head and glanced at the emperor. Under the emperor's cold gaze, he could only helplessly close his eyes, and then took the brocade box with a ruthless hand.

"The envoy can leave now." The emperor's cold and cold voice sounded.

Zabala was cold all over. The emperor was already driving him away before the dynasty was over.

"Tap..." Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and four golden-armored sergeants were already standing behind Zabala.

Zabala immediately understood that the emperor was not asking him to leave, but expelling him.

Zabala raised his head and looked at Li Xuan, who was standing in the queue.

Li Xuan's eyes were equally cold.

Zabala sighed helplessly, turned around, and walked slowly out of the palace.

Stepping across the threshold, the warm sunshine fell, but Zabala couldn't feel the slightest warmth and could only walk down the golden steps stiffly.

At this moment, Gao Lang's voice sounded in the hall behind him: "Complaining to the Tang Dynasty:

Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they have always lived in China to control the barbarians, while the barbarians have lived outside to serve China.

Within the four seas, no one will surrender; this is not a matter of human power, it is actually a gift from heaven.

Tubo was an evil neighbor and a surly country. Its nature was ruthless, cunning and aggressive, stingy and licentious; its rituals were forged, cunning and chaotic.

Peeping at Longyou doesn't stop for a day; wishful thinking never stops for a while.

Stubborn and unyielding, he takes advantage of provocations and indulges in harm; he is ungrateful and raises his troops to invade.

……

I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent Luo to be the general manager of the march, the right guard general, Nanchang Wang Xuan, leading the right guard guard general Hei Te Changzhi, the right Tun Guard general Sun Renshi, the left Xiaowei general Shi Jian, the left Jinwu guard Zhonglang general Cui Ding and other generals attacked Supi and plundered the army Yangtong.

Forced to the northern foot of Tanggula Mountain.

With a powerful blow, Naqu was broken in the south of the mountain; with a leap, Luo Zie was destroyed in an instant.

The descendants fell into desolation and lost the way of monarchs and ministers; the prime minister monopolized power, and the Xiantai complained; there were officials who were cruel and cruel, so people's hearts turned against them.

When the heavenly soldiers come together, the army will immediately fall apart.

The deceased's liver and brain were bruised, and the flesh and blood of the living were not preserved.

Although it is caused by human affairs, it is actually the time when God is disgusted with his virtue and abandons him.

Today, the Son respectfully accepts the mandate of Heaven, drives away corruption and evil in the palace, saves the people from ruin, is magnanimous, accepts surrenders and promises of peace, and does not slander or criticize.

Although the subjects of Tubo were not of the Chinese race, they were born in the same realm of heaven and earth. Those who knew etiquette and justice and were willing to be subjects were raised just like the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If you can surrender and surrender sincerely, then the communication will be as good as before and the support will still be there.

If you resist stubbornly and become a bandit for me, then the sky will be clear and the sky will be clear, and everything will be wiped out.

When the body dies and the country is destroyed, the world laughs.

Therefore, I would like to inform you.

Like the law. "

……

With a "pop" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The Tubo envoy Zabala turned back in disbelief and looked into the Liangyi Hall.

There, in the emperor's high seat, a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet robe and a cold face stood on the steps and recited a proclamation loudly.

Endless sounds echoed in the air.

Zabala felt his eyes go dark, and the next moment, he had fallen backwards.

But at the moment he fell to the ground, a loud voice kept echoing in his ears: "...Tubo is a bad neighbor and a surly country. Its nature is unrighteous, cunning and aggressive, stingy and licentious; it is rich in rituals and hypocrisy. , cunning and rampant...

With one powerful blow, Naqu was destroyed in Shannan; with one leap, Luo Zie was destroyed in an instant...

The descendants fell into desolation and lost the way of kings and ministers; the prime minister monopolized the power, and the Xiantai complained; there were officials who were cruel and cruel, so people's hearts turned against them...

The deceased's liver and brain were bruised, and the flesh and blood of the living were not preserved...

God was disgusted with his virtue and abandoned him...

The body dies and the country is destroyed, but the world laughs...

Like the law...

Just like the law..."

Countless people watched in horror as Zabala fell like this, and subconsciously turned to look at the emperor on the high platform.

The emperor waved his hand gently, and the four Forbidden Army soldiers following Zabala had directly dragged Zabala up, and then dragged him all the way down.

He left Liangyi Hall far away, out of sight of everyone.

It's like falling into an endless hell.

At this moment, the emperor's voice sounded again: "My lords, a rich delicacy will be prepared in the Liangyi Palace later, and I invite you to enjoy it. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I will sacrifice to heaven and earth, and I ask you to work hard and share it with me." Let’s go together to warn the world and attack the unconquered!”

"I obey the decree." The ministers bowed their heads.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang!" Ruibin's bell rang, and the music of Taihe played.

"At the end of the dynasty, the saint came out and held a banquet for the ministers in Liangyi Hall."

"I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"
