"The war was so cruel. Even because of the hot weather, soldiers were easily infected and died after being injured. However, the princess sold Da Shi a batch of strange medicine to treat wound infections at a sky-high price, and secretly revealed a recipe for Mafei San, which can greatly Reducing the death of wounded soldiers will become the basis for a big diet."
"Dashi has been patient with Tibet for a long time. When he saw that Tubo was actually at odds with the Tang Dynasty, he naturally wanted to take advantage of it."
Looking at his wife, he and Yourongyan told Li Jingzhong: "The princess had already expected this, so she did nothing but take the initiative to make good friends with the country of Dashi. She only sold a batch of finished medicines at sky-high prices, which triggered a conflict between Dashi and Dashi. The Tubo War.”
Li Jingzhong, who had only guessed roughly, listened to the consort's careful analysis and looked at Li Sixu with admiration.
It was said that they were on a mission to make friends with the Dashi Kingdom, but they did nothing. They only allowed the Dashi Nation to pay a sky-high price for a batch of medicine they sent, which successfully caused a war between Dashi and Tubo.
With the war between Dashi and Tubo, how could Tubo confront the Tang Dynasty? It was worried that it would be attacked from both sides, and it was afraid that it would not be too late to please the Tang Dynasty.
"The princess is really far-sighted and this servant is impressed!"
Li Jingzhong still had doubts: "Princess, if Tubo comes to its senses and woos Dashi in trade, will the war subside?"
"Won't!"
Li Sixu smiled mysteriously: "The Tang Dynasty sent envoys overseas for the first time, and there will be a second time. If Tubo wants to make concessions, you said I will use a magic medicine to treat wound infections. If the formula is sold to Dashi, will the giant Dashi country watch the rise of Tubo with its cotton and linen fabrics?"
Li Jingzhong was speechless for a moment!
He continued to ask curiously: "As the princess said, Dashi is a huge monster. What if he eats Tubo in one bite and threatens our border with China?"
"If Tubo is so weak, how can it still have the courage to challenge the Tang Dynasty? Today's Tubo Zanpu has great ambitions and indeed has talents and strategies. Even if this war is temporarily subsided, Tubo and Dashi will continue to conflict."
Li Sixu asserted: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. I, the fisherman of the Tang Dynasty, take the opportunity to recuperate and watch them fight to the death. When the time comes, Tibet and Dashi are competing against each other, and the powerful Tang Dynasty will still be afraid of them." One party?"
"This is like playing chess. Let the chess piece Da Shi contain Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty can rest easy. What we have to do is to be the one who controls the chess pieces, use the role of trade to check and balance the overall situation, and take advantage of the situation. .”
To clear up Li Jingzhong's confusion, Li Sixu looked at the largest jewelry shop on the street and reminded him: "In the past, in the palace, Yaoyao liked the tribute jewelry from Yangzhou. Let's go in and take a look, and you can pick out a few things for Yaoyao. "
Li Jingzhong's face looked a bit off!
Li Linhuai took the opportunity to slap him hard on the shoulder: "I almost narrowly escaped death when I fought against pirates. I'm not even afraid of death. What else can you not see through?"
Li Jingzhong still tried his best to hide his emotions, and his expression was unpredictable.
The young prince was a little frightened when he saw him like this. He stretched out his soft, fat paws towards him and shouted timidly: "Zhongzhong?"
The young prince's eyes were clear and translucent, very much like a princess. Facing the childish eyes without a trace of impurity, Li Jingzhong's hard heart finally softened.
He agreed: "Then Jingzhong will go in with the princess and the consort for a walk..."
On the surface, Tubo agreed to the Tang Dynasty's persuasion to retreat, but in fact, it violated the rule of law and captured Bolu, which really made the angry Xuanzong angry.
He had been worried about border issues, but Tubo suddenly withdrew due to heavy food pressure. Without worries, Xuanzong suddenly relaxed and had a nightmare at night.
He dreamed about his Yu'er and the tenth princess, who had been killed by Wu's concubine a long time ago. He dreamed about the queen who was thrown into the cold palace because she was disgusted with the art of winning. He heard the news that Wang Shouyi had been sentenced to death, but he did not survive in the cold palace.
I dreamed that I gave all my love to Wu Chongyuan, and even after the queen's death, she was promoted to Concubine Hui despite the objections of the courtiers, and she doted on her to the fullest.
Then the Wu family was spoiled and coquettish, and she had some thoughts that she shouldn't have. She colluded with the ministers in the court and wanted to support Mao'er to rise to power.
He even conspired with the court officials to kill the prince and his favorite fifth and eighth princes.
If you do too many evil things, you will eventually suffer retribution. The Wu family was haunted by evil spirits and eventually died.
But he seemed to be possessed by a poison, and was heartbroken over Wu's death. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, but none of them could fall in his eyes.
He missed the Wu family with all his heart, and even if Gao Lishi found a talented Jiang Caiping for him to enter the palace, it could not appease the loss deep in his heart.
In the end, because of a Cuju competition held in the palace, he fell in love with his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, followed Gao Lishi's idea, and let her become a monk and practice Taoism. Three years later, he took her into the palace and made her a noble concubine, doting on her with all his love.
Yang, who has a gentle and considerate temperament, is extremely good at choreography and knows music. He took Yang as his confidant and stopped being diligent in political affairs. He accompanied her all day long to choreograph and compose music, and lived a life of extreme luxury and drunkenness. , and even promoted her relatives to officials at will.
Under his squandering of pampering beauties and using traitors, the powerful Tang Dynasty was finally riddled with holes, and then the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
He is no longer the heroic emperor he once was. His long-term life of drinking and debauchery has made him greedy for life and afraid of death. He even abandoned the people of the capital and fled to Shu with the Yang family.
When passing Mawei Station, the soldiers mutinied, and he reluctantly killed Yang...
When he woke up from the nightmare, it was already dawn, but the sadness of the shattered dream of the empire lingered in his heart for a long time, and the loneliness deep in his soul lingered in his heart.
Gao Lishi, who heard the commotion, ordered the eunuch and the maid to lift the gauze curtain. Seeing Xuanzong break out in a cold sweat, he asked with concern: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"It's okay, I had a nightmare!"
In these years, Xuanzong worked hard for the Tang Dynasty and managed the government affairs diligently.
Gao Lishi, who had been by his side for many years, felt very sorry for the emperor. Today was the day of rest, so he thought about giving the emperor some fun and a good rest.
After waiting for Xuanzong to change his clothes, the emperor looked at Yang a few more times, thinking about the last Cuju competition.
Gao Lishi personally handed the half-dried handkerchief to Xuanzong and said at the side: "During this period, your Majesty has been very tired due to the Tubo attack on Bolu. The autumn weather is refreshing today, and Princess Shou is going to the palace to help for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet." The Fish Lady choreographs dances for the girls in the Liyuan, why not accompany the Emperor to the Liyuan as a slave."
If it weren't for the nightmare that made him immersive, Xuanzong would have been interested in going to the pear garden when Gao Lishi mentioned the Princess Shou who had Cuju last time, but the feeling of the broken mountains and rivers in the dream made him too sad.
And the pain of watching the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline was all caused by his obsession with wine and music. Gao Lishi suddenly mentioned Princess Shou, and Xuanzong's eyes changed when he looked at him.
Gao Lishi, who has always been foresight and foresight when it comes to troubles, obviously kicked the iron plate this time.
Xuanzong's eyes fell on him with a bit of sharpness. He panicked and secretly speculated about the Sacred Heart, which was against the emperor's taboo.
Gao Lishi hurriedly knelt down: "I realize my mistake!"
Xuanzong threw away the handkerchief in his hand, looking at the troublesome Gao Lishi with a vague pressure on his body.
"Eunuch Gao is very tired these days. Please rest for a few days and ask Yang Sixu to come into the palace to accompany me."
The emperor had already given Yang Sixu permission to leave the palace and enjoy his old age in peace. He suddenly thought about Eunuch Yang. It must be because he had angered the emperor with his remarks.
Gao Lishi secretly felt bitter in his heart. The emperor was so angry that he couldn't beg for mercy.
Kneeling on the ground, he had no choice but to respond: "Slave, I obey!"
"There is no shortage of choreographers in the palace orchestra. I don't think there is any need for Princess Shou to enter the palace!"
Xuanzong dropped these words and waved his hand towards Gao Lishi, signaling him to retreat.
When Eunuch Gao walked backwards and left, the little eunuch waiting outside the palace came in with a happy face and reported: "Your Majesty, the Governor of Yangzhou has sent a message to the capital. The princess has returned from sailing and will arrive in Luoyang soon."
"What? My princess is back?"
For some reason, although what he had was just a nightmare, Xuanzong felt that everything in the dream seemed to be immersive and had really existed.
As he gets older, he has been somewhat unable to do what he wants. He has worked hard for Li Tang for so many years. Now that Li Tang is prosperous and prosperous, he gradually begins to feel slack.
He even felt that he had created a happy and peaceful life for the people in Li Tang's world, and it was time to plan for himself, and no longer wanted to suppress and restrain himself.
But thinking of the nightmare that the Tang Dynasty was torn apart, and thinking that because of her princess, none of the scenes in the dream were staged, Emperor Xuanzong felt that this was a warning from God, so he tried his best to curb the desires in his heart.
Because he had lost something in his dream, when he woke up, he was extremely glad that his fish and princess were still alive. He was also glad that although the queen had been ill over the years, she could still sustain herself because the harem was peaceful.
Fortunately, his prince and the fifth and eighth princes are still alive and well, and he has not committed the crime of killing his heirs.
I am even more fortunate that the Tang Dynasty is still prosperous and prosperous, and the people in the Li and Tang Dynasties have not been displaced due to the Anshi Rebellion.
And the person who brought all this, the person who can give him a warning, is his tenth princess.
Because of his princess, Datang is moving forward on the established track, without yawing like in the dream...
Knowing that the princess he had been longing for day and night was finally returning to Chang'an, Xuanzong was filled with tears at this time: "Prepare a carriage for me, I will rush to Luoyang immediately to pick up my princess..."
