Although Li Yong had already thought that the "Saheman" old man in front of him was no ordinary Uighur businessman, he did not expect that he was actually Pei Luo, the main backbone of the Uighurs who had just wiped out the post-Turkic unification of Shuomo. He hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: " I didn’t expect that Khan Huairen was here in person, so I’m polite.”
Gu Li Pei Luo was canonized by the Tang Dynasty as the Gu Duolu Bijiaque Huairen Khan. After Tianbao killed the Baimei Khan and destroyed the Turks in the fourth year, he was awarded the rank of Xiaowei Yuanwai General. Speaking of which, Huihe was considered a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, The kings and ministers of the country were not allowed to enter the Tang Dynasty unless they were summoned. Pei Luo, who went deep into Henan Province in disguise, went beyond the rules. However, both Li Yong and Pei Luo, who were fearless in nature, were brave and heroic men and did not care at all about this. Still talking and laughing freely.
Pei Luo smiled and returned the courtesy: "You don't need to be polite to Mr. Li. I have admired Mr. Li for a long time when I first settled in Shuomo. However, I heard people say that it is often hard to live up to a great reputation, so I tried to show my hope with words. Don’t be surprised.”
Li Yong nodded and asked, "Is King Khan also here to lobby for Anlu Mountain?"
The bone-strength Pei Luo smiled and said: "I don't have this spare time yet, but I also received An Lushan's suggestion and was about to ask Li Shijun for advice."
Li Yong asked: "What conditions did An Zhongcheng offer to King Khan?"
At this time, Gao Bujie had slowly walked into the waterside pavilion and sat down at the table opposite Gu Li Pei Luo. He crossed his hands and said to the two of them, "Why don't you let Gao do the explanation?"
Li Yong and Gu Li Pei Luo were both veterans of the world, and they were quite calm. They nodded to Gao Buwei but said it was okay. Gao Buwei smiled slightly, but did not say what promise An Lushan had given them. He first asked: "One of you is a direct admonition to famous ministers, and the other is a wise founding king. I would like to ask you two, can the Tang Dynasty under Li Sanlang be called a prosperous age?"
Today's emperor Li Longji is the third son of Ruizong Li Dan. When Wei Jian was the governor of Shaanxi Province, the Guangyun Lake was opened so that water transportation could go directly to Chang'an. On the day of the opening of the canal, Wangchun was built at the foot of Changle Slope in East Jiuli of Chang'an and above the Guangyun Lake. The river channel passes through the building, so the boatmen all wear big hats, wide-sleeved shirts, and Mangwei, just like the style of Wu and Chu. They sing on the bow of the boat: "The boats and cars are noisy in the pond downstairs, and there are many bronzes in Yangzhou. Sanlang should be there Sit in the hall and watch the singing of the treasure song." Calling the saint "Sanlang" seems to be quite cordial between the king and the people, but the "Li Sanlang" mentioned by Gao Bujie today is quite contemptuous.
Gu Li Pei Luo saw Li Yong folding his hands in his sleeves and squinting his eyes, unwilling to answer, so he said: "Now that the Holy Emperor is coming to the court, the population tax is even better than that of Taizong Zhenguan. Naturally, this is a prosperous age."
Gao Buwei said: "Li Sanlang could be called the Holy Emperor during the Kaiyuan period, but since Tianbao... He has become more and more indulged in wine and sex, but he has also resorted to militarism. He has continued conquests year after year, and the big landowners have continued to annex the land, but the people who have equal land have been The land was displaced, resulting in serious shortages of soldiers in various Zhechong prefectures in the Central Plains. Today, the big tree of Li Tang has long been strong on the outside and dry on the inside. In a few years, it will be a dead tree that can fall down with a push. "
Bone Strength Pei Luo said: "Even if what you said, Mr. Gao, is true, what qualifications does An Lushan have to rebel?"
Li Yong said calmly: "Mr. Gao, with all due respect, rebellion always needs a reason, either to persuade the king to calm down, or to punish the people. Although there are many shortcomings in the world, it has not yet reached the level where the people are in dire straits. If the world wants peace, the teacher will be unknown. I’m afraid no one will respond.”
Gao Bujie said: "How come the teacher is unknown? Isn't Li Linfu a female official? I heard that he just framed Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, and is now committing crimes against Luo Zhi. If he hadn't been a hindrance, Li Shijun's talent would have How could he not be allowed to serve as an official in the court for a long time? Prime Minister An Zhongcheng often said that if he were the master of the world, he should make you the prime minister."
Gu Li Pei Luo said "Yo" and joked to Li Yong: "It turns out that I want to worship the envoy as my prime minister. Congratulations..."
Li Yong did not answer his words, but shook his head and said: "Although Li Linfu holds great power, blocks his own opinions, excludes dissidents, and persecutes the virtuous, there are still upright people in the court, and there are even more loyal ministers and good generals. Not to mention the four. The presence of Zhongjiedu Wang Zhongsi made the young men dare not act rashly. An Lushan wouldn't really think he was the God of War just because he was called "Jialuoshan", right? "
An Lushan's mother was a Turk, and she had a Turk name called "Yaluoshan", which means the God of War in Turkic language, so Li Yong made fun of her.
Gao Buwei looked up to the sky and laughed, saying, "Does Li Shijun know why Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian were convicted?"
Li Yong didn't answer
, Gao Buwei asked and answered: "Because Li Linfu said that they colluded with the prince. Back then, he used his status as prince to force his father to abdicate and make him emperor. Now that he is old, he is afraid of his own son. These After years of weakening the prince's wings, Li Linfu knew that as long as any minister was branded as "the prince's party", he would definitely die."
Bone Strength Pei Luo looked at Gao Buwei with interest and said: "Is Wang Zhongsi a member of the prince's party? I heard that he is the adopted son of the emperor, shouldn't he be loyal to the emperor?"
Gao Buwei smiled ferociously and said, "Why bother trying to incriminate someone? If Li Linfu can't find any evidence that the prince colluded with Wang Zhongsi, can we help him find some?"
Bone Strength Pei Luo frowned and said: "Gao Bujie, can't you tell that you are a scholar and are quite vicious?"
Li Yong said coldly: "King Khan doesn't know something. He is not the only bad guy under An Zhongcheng. There is also Jingcheng Yanzhuang, who is good at various languages and specializes in instigating surrounding countries to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. There is also a man named Liu." Luo Gu is based in Chang'an and specializes in collecting intelligence and bribing officials."
Bone Strength Pei Luo nodded and smiled: "It seems that I came here in a hurry. I should have waited for Yan Zhuang to visit me in Shuo Mo, saving me the trouble of traveling long distances."
Gao Buwei crossed his hands and said, "Where did King Khan come from? Yan Zhuang is just a talker and cannot make the final decision. Gao is Secretary An Zhongcheng. If King Khan has any request, he can contact An directly through me." Zhongchengti.”
Jiang Shuo knew that Gao Buwei and Yan Zhuang were at odds. The two never acted together, and it was common for them to even undermine each other.
Bone Strength Pei Luo said: "Even if we can get rid of Wang Zhongsi, we still have Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and An Sishun... When you asked me to join forces with Huihe, why did you not want Huihe to hold back the Western Army so that the Eastern Army could march straight in and capture the Second Army?" Jingge, if this happens, I will bleed while Yan Jun eats meat. There is no such cheap deal in the world!"
Gao Buwei said: "How can King Khan only bleed and not eat meat? An Zhongcheng said that after the event is completed, King Khan will be the lord of the Western Region, and An Zhongcheng will only take the land within the pass."
The bone-strength Pei Luo sneered: "Didn't An Lushan arrange a five-pronged attack on the Tang Dynasty? I'm afraid he also promised the Western Region to Dashi and Tubo, right?"
Gao Bujie said: "Tubo only wants to be west of the river. It will eat the Tochar land beyond Congling. All the four towns in Anxi will return to He."
The bone-strength Pei Luo laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "I don't know if you are bad or stupid. If Tubo wins Hexi, will it not want Guan Nei? If Dashi wins Tocharo, will it not want Anxi? Originally, there was a Tang Dynasty between us. , but everything is fine. If we really want to drive the Tang army out of the Western Regions, then all the families will attack each other, and there will be no peace." qδ
Dugu Xiang whispered: "Brother Shuo, what King Pei Luo Khan said is quite insightful."
Jiang Shuo echoed: "Yes, King Khan can not be moved by the immediate interests and look at the long-term, he is worthy of being a great hero who unified Shuo Mo!"
Gao was not in danger but calmly said: "Which piece of land King Khan wants to divide can be discussed in the long term. Even if he does not want the land, he can also divide some wealth. But please think about it, King Khan, when the Tang Dynasty falls apart, can it be said that Khan If the king doesn't take the four towns of Anxi, won't Dashi and Tubo go to take it? It's bitter cold in the Shuo desert, so it's a pity for the King of Khan to hand over the sacred land of Anxi to others."
Li Yong said: "Secretary Gao, listening to what you said, it seems that the victory of destroying the Tang Dynasty is already certain? With the strength of the Yan army, even if the four countries are united to attack together, it is still unclear who will win, right?"
Gao Buwei smiled and said: "Of course there is a trump card...Li Shijun just said that there is no peace and the name of fighting crime is actually true."
Li Yong said curiously: "Oh, I would like to hear the details."
Gao Buwei said: "Gao still wants to ask first, why did Li Shijun oppose the empress's coming to the court?"
Li Yong said: "Although Queen Zetian can be called a wise king, her position is unfair, so Yong opposed it."
Gao Buwei nodded and said, "Yes, the current emperor is also in a wrong position!"
Bone Strength Pei Luo said: "Hey...even if Li Sanlang forces his father to pass the throne to him in advance, it can't be regarded as improper. After all, he is the prince."
Gao Buwei said from a distance: "That's not what I'm talking about. Li Longji and Li Dan are all descendants of Taizong Li Shimin..."
Bone Strength Pei Luo said: "Not bad.
, what’s the problem? You wouldn't want to say that Zhengshuo is still in the Yang family more than 120 years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, right? "
Gao Buwei said: "I said that Li Shimin's position was unfair, but I was referring to the Xuanwu Sect incident. Li Shimin said that he was forced to kill the prince Jiancheng and his younger brother Yuanji. In fact, it was because he wanted to fight for the throne that he took the first step. He killed his brother by force."
Bone Strength Pei Luo said: "It's too late to say this now... Jiancheng and Yuanji's heirs have all been killed."
Gao Bujie said: "Yes, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin brutally killed the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji regardless of their age. Several of the young princes and Huangkou children under ten years old were also brutally murdered. , and even deleted their names from the clan's roster, erasing all traces of the prince and Yuanji... But in fact, the prince had six sons in total, but historical records record that only five were killed."
Echiken felt strange and couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Why did you let this child go alone?"
Gao Bujie said: "It's not about letting go, but about escaping. Li Shimin was not the only one who had elite soldiers and generals at that time. There was a guard named Xue Wanche in Prince Yi's guard. His martial arts was extremely high. Qin Qiong, the powerful generals of Prince Qin's palace, Even Yuchi Jingde could not defeat him. It is said that Prince Yiwei was outnumbered in the end, and Xue Wanche also fled into Zhongnan Mountain without a trace. In fact, he was not alone and did not go to Zhongnan Mountain. Instead, he took Jiancheng's youngest son away from Chang'an. Went to the Western Regions!"
