The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 877 Nanzhao King Luo Sheng

"You don't need to be so cunning. Just say what you need to say. You have to understand that it is not the court that controls the life and death of your family. Now they are all in my hands. If you still have reservations about me, then I also have reservations about your family. What is the situation in the border area? I believe you have seen those three handwritten letters. If you want them to come back and live a good life, then you have to say everything in your heart. Speak out without fear of offending anyone within the court."

Li Xiang also noticed it. This guy obviously has reservations. If this is the case, Li Xiang will open the skylight and speak openly to let you know who you are working for now. There is no need to save the face of those in the imperial court. They themselves It's just that he didn't do things well. Everyone, including Changsun Wuji, must have been deceived by these people. Of course, this is a better aspect. If we want to talk about the bad aspect, it may be that Changsun Wuji picked the wrong person. This is It's his fault.

In fact, this is a normal thing. In this era, places outside the Central Plains did not pay much attention to it. Whether it was Tyuhun near Chang'an or Goguryeo, which was far away. If the emperor personally issued the order, officials might still pay attention to it. But if the emperor didn't pay much attention to this area, officials would pay even less attention to it.

It seems that these spies spent a lot of money from the court, but if you calculate it carefully, their local expenses are not enough at all. At most, they can only listen to some private information, and then spread it back to Chang'an. There is no way to confirm the news. How much money will be needed to bribe local officials?

What's more, Datang's financial situation is not good during this period. If the financial supply is sufficient, they may be able to get some accurate information, but if the financial supply is not good, you can't blame these spies on the front line. them.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me..."

When it comes to his own family members, Zhang Jiuli cannot be the same as before and quickly kneels down to apologize. He has also been an official for a long time. When you report to your boss, you must not involve other people's shortcomings. If you mention someone else's shortcomings when reporting, it means you have become enemies with this person.

The officialdom has its own rules and regulations. When you report your own affairs, you must not create any extraneous matters, especially when dealing with a descendant of the royal family like Li Xiang, because such a descendant of the royal family has a relatively wide range of affairs and does not have a specific one. restrictions, so they can control everything.

For example, in the matter at hand, if Zhang Jiuli tells the truth, all the government offices in the imperial court may be offended, especially some of the officials in charge. If Li Xiang goes back and starts investigating from top to bottom, , Paper cannot cover up the fire these days, and Zhang Jiuli will eventually be exposed in front of everyone.

"I know what you are worried about, but you should also inquire about it. It is mainly the people who live with me. I can protect them, but these people must also show their rights. , if you are half-hearted here, the final result will not be good."

In order for Zhang Jiuli to tell the truth, Li Xiang has no choice but to make some promises. I am working for you wholeheartedly now. If you are suppressed by some old bureaucrats in the court, then you must stand up. , not to keep Zhang Jiuli, but to show all the officials of your faction clearly that what you do can support them, then they can do things for you [-]%, otherwise who will? How can I live without my own Xiao Jiujiu?
"Wei Chen will definitely thank His Highness..."

"Let's get down to business." Seeing Zhang Jiuli's long speech again, Li Xiang immediately stopped this guy. If we listen to your long speech here, we don't know when we will hear it, so let's get down to business first. Details Let’s introduce Nanzhao’s military strength.

"If we want to talk about the content of the imperial investigation, it can be said that it was basically more than ten years ago. Now there should be nearly 7 regular troops in Nanzhao. In addition, there are some local armed forces, which must be 2. This Everything is in the hands of local officials. Nanzhao has always given people the impression that the country is small and the people are weak, but their population is also a million, but the people don't like war very much, but if war mobilization is carried out, 10,000+ people is still no problem.”

Zhang Jiuli knew more about the situation here, so he integrated it in his mind and said this number. Sure enough, it was similar to the history that Li Xiang was familiar with. If this number were placed in Changsun Wuji's In front of him, I'm afraid Changsun Wuji would resign and go home in shame.

The combat effectiveness is similar to that of the chieftain army on the mountain, but the chieftain army on the mountain is dangerous to defend. There are no other dangerous places in Nanzhao. If you want to use military strength to win here, you should fight with the four chieftains. The difficulty there is similar, but there is another difficulty here, that is, the logistics supply line is relatively long.

Li Xiang also said this in Chang'an City. The naval warships have been renovated. Even if they are not needed, Li Xiang is willing to let them run in the north and south offshore seas. If they can't even get here If so, how will I drive you across the ocean in the future?You must know that the world is very big.

"How much do you know about Luo Sheng, the current King of Nanzhao?"

Li Xiang thought of this cheap father-in-law. Nanzhao wanted to marry Tang Dynasty. This man wanted to marry his daughter to Li Xiang. If it weren't for Li Xiang, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing. She had to be the official wife, because Li Xiang may become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it is very likely, so even if his daughter is a side wife, he agrees.

"Returning to Your Highness, this person once visited Chang'an City when he was young. At that time, he was entrusted by his father to go to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Later, he received the official position of governor. Of course, it was only an honorary official position. Returning to After Nanzhao, because he had gone to Chang'an to worship and had outstanding personal abilities, he became the current King of Nanzhao, which should not be a simple role."

Zhang Jiuli said with a look of embarrassment that this aspect was indeed not his strong point. No one would be an official in Sichuan and still think about Nanzhao.
