The first free king of Tang Dynasty

I don't know somewhere in Datang.

In a room of lingering green willows.

A few girls with good posture are stroking the Yaoqin on the table, playing the qin's gentle and slow sound.

On their faces, there was fear and timidity that didn't match the sound of the piano.

On the opposite side of the pavilion, the man lying on the couch was holding a scripture, and beside him was a guard named black.

Around, there are a group of people sitting on display, some of them are rich in clothes, some of them are similar, and some are even tattered.

Like all kinds of characters, strangely gathered together.

The young man held the scriptures in his hand, without squinting his eyes, he asked softly, "Is the news true?"

The guard Heizi smiled sinisterly, and replied in an old voice.

"Returning to Your Highness, the news from Chang'an is undeniable, and the news of Chang'an's garrison has already been figured out, and it will arrive soon."

The Heizi guard was not masked, he was an old man with a sullen complexion, a hooked nose, thick saber eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were split in half as if he had been cut by a knife, and the scars on his face penetrated like cracked stones.

Laughing like a ghost.

Lying on the couch, the man in ragged clothes hooked his mouth and stood up swayingly, his eyes flashed a dazzling light.

"Okay, I have been waiting for many years, and today is finally the time to wait! Now that the entire Tang Dynasty is fighting against Mobei, the weather is difficult, and Li Shimin's son is overwhelmed."

"Everyone, the so-called merits and demerits are not accepted, you will be blamed, God has given you a good opportunity, don't allow me to wait until you decide..."

The youth's sneering faces swept around one by one.

There has been news from Chang'an that the war is about to start, and for the hearts of the common people, on the fifteenth day of the Shang Yuan, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty traveled to the imperial city at night to have fun with the people.

At this time, it can be described as a godsend opportunity. Now Chang'an City's armaments are weak, and the 15 people in Shangyuan have mixed eyes.

Isn't it a great time?

And it's a godsend timing!
The Turks suddenly went south, and no one could figure out why the Turks made such a sudden move at the beginning of this year.

This kid Li Shimin's livelihood has been withered for three years, yet he dares to compete with the whole country in Mobei!

What is it if this is not a god-given opportunity?Time does not wait for me!
"Your Highness, although there are many people in this Tang Emperor's night tour, the defense must be strict and you must not move lightly. You must think of a comprehensive plan!"

The old woman sitting beside said in a deep voice, her voice was as hoarse as a bellows with a hole in it.

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's a perfect plan. This plan is only to take Li Shimin's life!"

A vicious sneer was drawn on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he said again.

"Now that the little prince is young, several great families are fighting openly and secretly with the Li Tang royal family. Li Yuan, who is imprisoned in the palace, will not be so calm and calm, and there are Turks watching over him."

"It's impossible for Tuyuhun and Tubo around to watch Li Tang's family dominate. Regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty succeeds or fails in this battle, they will definitely take advantage of the fire!"

"And all of this, as long as Li Shimin's life is taken, this Li Tang will be in danger. In the future, I will wait for Daye to work together, and countless troubles will be saved!"

The young man's analysis made the people around him nod with sparkling eyes.

What His Royal Highness Yan Wang said is all right!
Li Tang's only pillar in the church today is Li Shimin.

As long as the big yellow beam is pumped, Li Tang will be like a leaky tank.

That day when the mountain rains and the wind is about to fill the building, it is just an inevitable thing.

At that time, the great cause of the Central Plains will surely have a chance of victory!
At this time, a man with dark eyes, big arms and round waist, dressed in a green shirt and fur robe, asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I don't know how to do this grand plan!"

Call them here today, needless to say, they can also think of what King Yan analyzed.

However, this grand plan must be launched by one person.

Because now King Yan's strength
Even if this big plan is successful, the Li and Tang royal family must find out the truth.

To put it bluntly, you have to do this, but if you do it, you have to cut off one of your own hands to avoid future troubles.

And this hand is the ghost who took the place of the dead. Naturally, everyone has different thoughts at this time, and no one wants to be the ghost who took the place of the dead.

What he asked was what everyone wanted to ask.

King Yan, who was called His Highness, smiled coldly. Of course he knew what the group of people were thinking, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

With a half-smile, he slowly said...

"Everyone, don't worry, this king has considered this plan carefully, my "good sister"...has been hiding her strength in Chang'an for so many years, it's time to wait for me! "

That cold tone caused everyone present to feel a shudder, it turned out that King Yan wanted to push the thirteenth princess out, it was really vicious!
But then again.

The thirteen princesses command the Anchen Division, occupying one side alone, and are the ones who have the least ties to King Yan's forces.

It has a direct connection with King Yan, but the forces under King Yan, such as them, don't have much disputes at all.

And far away in Chang'an, the right time, place and people, what should be counted is also counted on her head.

As for the "good sister", in the face of such a great cause, how could the King of Yan care about half-blood relatives.

Although it is vicious, the thirteenth princess is indeed the most suitable candidate, and also the candidate they are most happy to see.

The man frowned slightly, and then asked.

"Your Highness, pardon the old man's offending words, this plan is almost a death plan, how could the thirteenth princess 'take orders with pleasure,'?"

"Don't worry, General Meng, this king has his own way to make my 'good sister' agree with her, and she has nothing to do with us."

Yan Wang turned around and replied with a sneer, and everyone was slowly relieved.

As long as it has nothing to do with their wealth and life, then who will die is not a matter of their relationship.

At this time, King Yan turned around and said to the strong man in green shirt and fur coat.

"General Meng, can you contribute to the 37 dumb dead servants you have raised? Don't worry, this king will never treat you badly!"

General Na Meng's eyes darkened slightly, the King of Yan even made an idea on his head.

But with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, no one would be willing to watch anyone who wants to sneak around, General Meng could only reply in a deep voice.

"What's the point of being able to serve King Yan? Although I've kept those 37 dumb dead servants for many years, why not wait for my great cause!"

A normal smile appeared on King Yan's face, and he nodded in relief.

"General Meng Dayi, this king has never been a petty person, and I will give you a big gift later..."

"Thank you King Yan..."

General Meng replied slowly with a smile on his face.

It's just a deal.

Immediately, King Yan turned around, smiled gently, and said to the old woman.

"Auntie, these 37 dead men will be sent to Chang'an by your trouble."

The old woman raised her eyes slightly, and said in an old voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old lady has taken care of this matter!"

"Heizhi, you are the leader of these 37 dead servants. They will be sent to Chang'an and handed over to the Thirteen Princesses before returning. As for what to say, you should know."

Thinking that he was sent to die, the eyes of the sinister old man suddenly sank.

But when he heard that he was giving it away, he felt relieved.

One of the reasons for sending someone away is that some damned people deserve to die too.

For example, it was a caravan that sent this group of people, but when they came back, it could only be him alone.

Otherwise, if the trouble comes to them, it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old man knows!"

A smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, distorted like an old tree festering.

Immediately, everyone dispersed, leaving only King Yan in the room.

The old woman's eyes sank slightly after hearing this, but then slowly relaxed.

I don't know how long it took when everyone left.

Only the King Yan is left in this room
one person.

"Tsing Yi, come out..."

A slender masked figure stepped out from the screen behind the couch.

"Meet Your Highness!"

King Yan glanced sideways.

"Then Tang Sufan has checked it out?"

"Return to Your Highness, Tang Sufan's parents and grandfather have been found out, but..."

The masked Tsing Yi said slowly while handing over a small stamped letter.

King Yan slowly began to flip through the pages, his voice lowered a little: "But what?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Tang Sufan has been away for four years and has nowhere to go. There is really nothing to investigate..."

"Four years abroad? Nowhere to go?"

King Yan stared at the seal in his hand, his eyes darkened.

I do not know how long it has been.

I finally finished reading these dozen or so seal letters.

That King Yan's eyes became more intense.

"What a little poet, what a Tang Sufan!"

"It seems...his parents gave him that thing after all! Hmph, what You Nowhere..."

"Go back to Chang'an first and keep an eye on the thirteenth princess. In addition, after the fifteenth day of the Shangyuan period, you let the rest of the people withdraw from Chang'an, and Tang Sufan will be arrested together."

Tsing Yi lowered her eyebrows slightly, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, Tang Sufan has been enshrined as a noble, and he has made good friends with the ministers of the court. If he makes a move, he may be suspicious!"

King Yan sneered and said slowly.

"Hmph, after the fifteenth year of Shangyuan, Li Shimin died, so who cares about this little Lord Marquis?"

"Yes!"

Tsing Yi was ordered to go, just as he got up.

The corner of Yan Wang's mouth curved, and he waved his hand slowly.

"I'm tired of listening to this song, it's time to change..."

Tsing Yi nodded slightly, and then in the attic room...

"Your Highness! Forgive me! Forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!!!"

"Your Highness!!! My little girl knows other songs!"

Under the continuous screams, streaks of dazzling bright red sprinkled on the screen that separated the pavilion.

……

Chang'an City.

Chengqing Palace.

Li Shimin and his ministers frowned bitterly, their anger hard to calm down.

Li Shimin slapped the imperial case with his palm.

"This group of uneducated foreign barbarians is really hateful! Sooner or later, I will let the Tang Dynasty step on their land!"

Just today, the military situation was discussed as usual.

Li Jing had just broken the siege of Suizhou. As expected, the Turkic general hid 70,000 people at the border between Xiazhou and Suizhou, preparing to annex Li Jing's army.

Simply because Li Shimin had prepared in advance, Suizhou and Xiazhou were fighting back and forth, and the Turks were already on the verge of retreating.

Qin Qiong Chai Shao's army had already entered directly from the Jinhe Road, and surrounded Li Jing's army in the opposite direction.

Li Daozong's [-] troops also marched into the Turks from Lingzhou in the northwest.

As long as the Great Siege of Suizhou is resolved, the Tang Dynasty's competition in Mobei is just a step-by-step matter.

At this time, the whole country of the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks, and there was a lot of trouble.

Tubo and Tuyuhun sent envoys, making it clear that they wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot!

Two conditions were also put forward.

Firstly, open up the market, loosen the restrictions on salt and iron, and allow free exchange of salt and iron between the two countries.

The second requirement is to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and Qin and Jin have already married each other.

To put it bluntly, you obey, and naturally you will live in peace.

If you don't follow, don't blame the two of us for making trouble secretly and exchanging needs.

Let you take the throne of Emperor Tang badly.

It is not impossible to open up the market, if it is a normal salt and iron transaction between the two parties.

But in recent years, most of them have been smuggled for secret benefits. If it is opened next year, won't it be the same as putting smuggling into other countries on the bright side?

Salt and iron are two major strategic materials, if they go to the two countries without control
delivery.

Isn't it equivalent to being an enemy, waiting for other countries to become stronger?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to open up the market.

As for asking to marry the princess, Tang Sufan just asked Fang Xuanling to refuse on the grounds that the princess was too young to marry.

As a result, it was like doing research.

what young?
Don't you have a princess?At the age of sixteen, she was married with integrity.

Isn't it the princess Li Lirou of Yuzhang?
And Rou'er has already made a marriage contract with that brat Tang Sufan, isn't this nonsense?
But I can't say it, once I say it, there will be a burst of noise and opposition in the court.

But now that the Tang army is fully prepared, the battle has already started, and if you want to take it back, you can't take it back.

Tubo Tuyuhun is just waiting for your throat.

He Li Shimin must suffer this big loss.

Because today's Datang is no longer able to deal with these two "good neighbors" of Datang.

It can be described as internal and external troubles, the daily consumption of armaments is like an astronomical figure, and disaster relief in Henan, Hedong, Shandong (east of Xiaoshan), and Hexi is still a big mouth.

Memorials from all over the country flew to Chang'an City like snowflakes, but even if he, Li Shimin, continued to roll out policies in the past few months, it would take time.

Once the wishes of these two "good neighbors" are not followed, Datang will definitely not be able to face the situation of "surrounded by enemies on three sides".

Li Shimin's eyes were deep, and he slowly calmed down the anger in his heart, and swept across the humerus of the confidantes in front of him.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think? What's the voice above the court?"

The reason why Li Shimin called his caring little brothers to hold a meeting first.

It is to know that the great families of the court will definitely communicate with each other and maintain a favorable attitude.

After all, although this matter is easy to say, it can solve the urgent situation after all.

Anyway, it wasn't their daughter who married, so naturally, none of them mattered to me.

Changsun Wuji's brows sank, and he didn't expect to throw this topic directly at him.

As the leader of the Longzhong aristocratic family, how can he deal with it?
agree.

Although what the gentry wanted, they must have lost their voice.

But against.

The eldest grandson's family is not in a good place either.

The so-called beating wolves with hemp poles is scary at both ends.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Changsun Wuji looked bitter, changed his mind, and said again.

"From the point of view of humble ministers, the people in the court must agree with each other and oppose each other. Opening up the market is indeed a big deal. From a long-term perspective, it is equivalent to cutting meat and feeding wolves. But right now, I am weak in the Tang Dynasty and have to accept this. Restricted..."

Li Shimin turned his head angrily,
I asked you to give me advice, not to let you practice Tai Chi.

But Li Shimin knew that only Changsun Wuji was not good at speaking on this matter.

That family's salt and iron business has long been in full swing, and the Guanzhong family's salt and iron business is in their hands.

The part occupied by the imperial court is really pitiful.

But for the aristocratic family, this is a huge meatloaf.

The amount of salt and iron transactions these aristocratic families conclude with other countries every year is unimaginable. Once the restrictions on salt and iron in several countries are broken, they will bear the brunt of it and make a fortune.

And it can also turn from darkness to light, and the proper meat is thrown in front of your eyes.

But to marry a daughter, someone already knew that someone was going to rob his wife, that boy Tang Sufan couldn't jump.

Wait, Tang Sufan?
