Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 30 Li Yuanji feels like an idiot
As for Li Yuanji's recruitment, he had no room to refuse. Lingnan was Li Yuanji's fiefdom. As an official of Rongzhou, which was also a state in Lingnan, he could only accept it.

If he refused, first of all, his life would be threatened. Secondly, even if Li Yuanji did not kill him, his official career would be completely over.

If Li Yuanji did not use him, or even directly killed him, he would not be able to enter the official career again, and his previous experience in Rongzhou would become a thing of the past, which was not what he wanted.

As soon as Li Yuanji finished speaking, Su Dingfang hardened his heart and began to hold the hilt of the knife with his right hand. Although Wang Xuance was brought here by him, if this man was talking nonsense just to appear in front of Li Yuanji, he thought he should be killed.

After a moment, Wang Xuance smiled faintly, then became serious again.

“Your Majesty, perhaps Your Majesty does not know that in the sixth year of Wude, which was last year, Ning Changzhen, the governor of Qinzhou, presented the Hepu pearls to the imperial court as tribute, but the Saint did not accept them. The Saint’s dissatisfaction with the Lingnan states is obvious.

This move of the saint also caused dissatisfaction among many chieftains, who thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to send troops to attack Lingnan again. Now the King of Qi came with a large army, and although he was going to be a vassal, in the eyes of these chieftains, it might not be a real vassal.

Because the Saint did not accept tribute, Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan, Ning Daoming and others gathered together, led by Tan Dian and assisted by many provocative chiefs, and were trying to recruit people to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

I learned the news because Ning Changzhen sent someone to find my superior, Ning Kailu, the governor of Rongzhou. In addition, Ning Chun, the governor of Nanhezhou, was also tried by them, but my superior Ning Chun also firmly supported the Tang Dynasty and rejected them.

The Governor of Ning also refused to join them, firmly supported the Tang Dynasty, was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and supported the Tang Dynasty. I also learned that the King of Qi was coming to Lingnan, so I asked to come and inform the King of Qi, hoping that the King of Qi would know. "

Li Yuanji listened to Wang Xuance's words with an extremely solemn expression. He already believed it in his heart because in history, many people in Lingnan had rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. He was not surprised that someone was rebelling against the Tang Dynasty now.

What surprised Li Yuanji was that the fuse of the Lingnan rebellion was that Li Yuan did not accept Ning Changzhen's tribute, which led to all this. Li Yuanji felt it was a bit outrageous.

At this time he seemed to understand something. The reason why Li Yuan allowed him to come to Lingnan was probably not just because he asked for it on his own initiative. Li Yuan did not accept the tribute from Lingnan, which showed that he was dissatisfied with Lingnan. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was dissatisfied with Lingnan, and others interpreted it as that the Tang Dynasty wanted to use military force against Lingnan again, which was simply too reasonable.

After thinking this through, Li Yuanji felt relieved. No wonder Li Yuan sent him 10,000 soldiers and horses, with complete weapons and food supplies. He didn't have to worry about anything. It turned out that this was Li Yuan's purpose.

The more Li Yuanji thought about it, the more he felt like an idiot. At that time, he was very grateful to Li Yuan for sending him 10,000 fully armed men. Now it seems that Li Yuan just wanted him, Li Yuanji, to completely occupy Lingnan and make Lingnan belong to the Tang Dynasty completely.

And what if he fails?
Li Yuanji had already imagined that if something happened to him in Lingnan, Li Yuan would be furious and raise an army. Hundreds of thousands of powerful Tang troops would directly flatten all the states in Lingnan. From then on, Lingnan would no longer be a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty, but would truly become the place governed by the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, Li Yuanji had a clearer understanding of Li Yuan. In Chang'an, it seemed that he had gained the advantage, but now he suddenly discovered that all this was Li Yuan's arrangement behind the scenes, and he felt chilled.

However, Li Yuanji did not know that the current situation in Lingnan was more complicated and changeable than he had imagined, especially Feng Ang, whom he had a good impression of. This guy was submissive to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but he had actually rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Shimin had not sent his son Zhang Yuansu to quell the situation, there would have been another spectacular rebellion in Lingnan.

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, suddenly relaxed his frown and looked at Wang Xuance.

"I know what you said. I believe you. What you said is true. However, since you asked to see me, you must have something to say to me, right? You can tell me what you want to say. Of course, what I said just now also counts. From now on, you will stay with me. After you arrive in Leizhou and stabilize the situation, I will send troops to escort your family to come."

Li Yuanji thought for a long time and finally figured out this problem. Since Wang Xuance came here on his own initiative, he must have something to ask for. Moreover, he could take this opportunity to see what Wang Xuance's abilities are.

It sounds really impressive that one person can destroy an entire country, and he must be extremely talented, otherwise it would not be possible. However, those are only history. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he will not feel at ease unless he sees what kind of person Wang Xuance is.

At this moment, Li Yuanji no longer cared about Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang who were listening with great seriousness. They knew that the situation in Lingnan might not be very good, and with Li Yuanji's influence from time to time, they really didn't expect that Lingnan had already begun to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and started an alliance.

Both of them felt extremely heavy in their hearts. If Li Yuanji was not here, they would not be afraid of the 11,000 soldiers in their hands who were fully armored and well-equipped. But now they are afraid because of the addition of Li Yuanji.

Wang Xuance, who was sitting opposite Li Yuanji, listened to Li Yuanji's words and looked at Li Yuanji with a brighter gaze. At this time, he was able to confirm that this King of Qi was indeed completely different from what he had heard before.

Another purpose of his visit this time, and also the most important purpose, was to come and see Li Yuanji. If Li Yuanji was really as the rumors said, then he would retire at home and not think about anything else.

Now that he has discovered the difference, he is very happy. Now his future is almost in the hands of Li Yuanji. The better Li Yuanji is, the better his talent will be.

"Your Majesty, I have learned that you have sent letters to various states. Now everyone in Lingnan will know the current situation. When the time comes, the King of Qi will know how to act in the future based on which states have taken action, which have come to the rescue, and which have waited and seen.

Then you just need to eliminate these rebels. After the king has stabilized Lingnan, you can then withdraw your hands to gradually sort out those who are waiting and watching. Those who should be eliminated will be eliminated, and those who should be used will continue to be used.

As for the circumstances under which it can be destroyed, I think that Lingnan is now the king's fiefdom, so in this fiefdom, anyone who does not respect the king's orders will be killed. "

Li Yuanji listened carefully and suddenly laughed, very happily. Li Yuanji found that he really admired Wang Xuance more and more. Although he looked at the scholar's dress, he was really cruel. He was worthy of being a ruthless man who destroyed an entire country.

As for Wang Xuance calling himself a subject, Lingnan was now his fiefdom, so it was only natural for him to be a subject to him. Li Yuanji could also know Wang Xuance's choice from the change of title.

Amid Li Yuanji's laughter, Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang both looked deeply at Wang Xuance. They admitted that they had underestimated this scholar just now. This man was very extraordinary. Compared with those in Chang'an, they thought he was not bad. Compared with some, he was even stronger. Just by being so ruthless, not many people could do it.

"Within my fiefdom, anyone who disobeys my orders will be killed.

Not bad, very good, Wang Xuance, you have successfully attracted my attention."

When Li Yuanji's voice was heard, Wang Xuance also laughed.
