Chapter 422 Master yourself and the fate of this country!
What is Li Heng coming to do?
Zhang Xuan was very surprised.

And Tian Kexin stared at Zhang Xuan in surprise, hesitated for a moment, then got up and whispered, "Your Majesty, Kexin will take her leave first."

Zhang Xuan let out a long breath and nodded, "Alright, I'll talk to you about this first today. Remember, don't rush everything, take it slowly, just like what I said about boiling frogs in warm water..."

Tian Kexin nodded yes, but there was a strange color in Rushui's eyes.

Just now, Zhang Xuan told her an interesting story about "boiling a frog in warm water".Although Tian Kexin is not a time traveler and has no modern ideas in her mind, the truth is still the same. With her mind, it is not difficult to understand Zhang Xuan's "meaningful".

She understood that Zhang Xuan asked her to boil a pot of water, put the members of Li Tang's royal family into it, and then slowly heat them up to cook them unconsciously.

It's really a whimsical idea, and it's really a means of "eating people without spitting out their bones".

But judging from the current situation, the emperor's trick of "boiling frogs in warm water" seems to be useless.Li Gong raised troops to return to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu fled Xijing Chang'an with some close royal families, which directly angered the emperor.The emperor is going to do something cruel... Tian Kexin thought about it, bowed to Zhang Xuan, and then walked away lightly.

After leaving the imperial study room, she saw Li Heng, the great Tang emperor in the past, at the door.

Tian Kexin glanced at Li Heng, sighed inwardly, and walked away.

Li Heng was lowering his head there to soothe his complicated emotions, and he didn't notice Tian Kexin at all.

Not long after, a pretty and delicate maid came out and saluted Li Heng, "Your Majesty invites the King of Tang to have an audience."

Li Heng let out an oh, and slowly walked towards the expert.

Li Heng walked into the imperial study, looked up and met Zhang Xuan's eyes.

Zhang Xuan's gaze was calm, but Li Heng was unavoidably embarrassed and flickering.In the past, he was the king and Zhang Xuan was the minister. Today, Zhang Xuan is the king and he is the minister. He may even become a prisoner and lose his life. This kind of life situation and strong contrast make no one feel happy. .

But after all, Li Heng is eager to cherish his life, and these days, he has slowly accepted the reality.Of course, he can't accept it.

Li Heng hesitated for a while, then immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Minister Li Heng, I greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Apart from bowing down to his father Li Longji, this was the first time in Li Heng's life that he bowed down to others, and shouted long live.

A certain shame, resentment and depression surged in his heart, and he fell on the ground, his face flushed, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhang Xuan was solemn and silent.

a long time.

He stood up slowly, waved his hands and said indifferently, "Please get up, come on, let's take a seat."

Li Heng sat there in embarrassment, Zhang Xuan looked at him solemnly, for a while, Li Heng didn't know how to speak, while Zhang Xuan waited quietly for his opening.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Do you have something to say?"

The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Chen Te came to the table to participate in Li Yu's rebellion!... Your Majesty is grateful for your magnanimity, and I will never dare to disagree..."

Li Heng babbled and confessed without the slightest logic. In order to clear himself up, he even did not hesitate to trample Li Yu's children under his feet in front of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly.In his impression, Li Heng wouldn't have been so unbearable in the first place.But since then, Li Heng has become... speechless, no matter in terms of personality or conduct.

"You don't have to worry. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I can guarantee that you will enjoy the glory and wealth and live in peace." Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Li Yu is Li Yu, and you are you. Yu absconded, and I took my anger out on you."

"Actually, this is quite normal. After all, Zhang took over your Li family's country. Li Yu is not reconciled, and Li Gong has a different heart. This is all human nature. I can understand it. However, I can't accept it. Therefore—"

Zhang Xuan's gaze instantly became as cold as a knife, "The general trend of the world, those who follow the trend prosper and those who oppose it perish. Since they have embarked on this path, don't complain anymore."

Li Heng raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Xuan, and then lowered his head in fear.

He could hear that Zhang Xuan had already planned to kill people like Li Gong and Li Yu.From this point of view, his children are definitely doomed.

Li Heng lowered his head sadly, the mist in his eyes was steaming, and his hands trembled violently.

Although he tried his best to draw a clear line with Li Yu and others, but after all, it was his children and flesh and blood, and he got a definite answer from Zhang Xuan, and he felt pain and regret in his heart.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Heng finally gritted his teeth, knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have a daughter named Yanguang, who is beautiful in appearance and good in conduct. I am willing to dedicate this daughter to Your Majesty as a concubine... Please Your Majesty is complete!"

As soon as Li Heng said this, Zhang Xuan froze on the spot.He never expected that Li Heng would dedicate his youngest daughter, the former Princess Yanguang, to be his concubine.

While Zhang Xuan was shocked, he couldn't help being a little funny.

He knew in his heart that Li Heng was still worried about this, in order to save his life, safety and wealth, he did not hesitate to throw out his youngest daughter Yanguang.

At this time, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel that Li Heng was pitiful, hateful and very pathetic.

"This matter must never be mentioned again." Zhang Xuan said indifferently, "I reiterate again, if you have no dissent, I will never touch you, and I will guarantee your wealth and safety for the rest of your life. If I really want to touch you, your daughter will stay with you." It's useless to be around me."

Li Heng was greatly disappointed, his face turned red.

"Until now, you still haven't figured it out. Li Heng, there are no outsiders at the moment, so I will tell you a few words from my heart, absolutely not adulterated."

"If it weren't for your hard work, I would never have taken Li Tang Jiangshan from you." Zhang Xuan let out a long breath.

The corner of Li Heng's mouth trembled, and he hated secretly in his heart. His heart was turned upside down, even Jiangshan robbed him of himself as the emperor, and turned his back on hypocrisy, it was so fucking hypocritical and shameless.It's just that no matter how much Li Heng hated him, he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth.

"You may think that I am hypocritical, but this is what I really mean."

Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Heng, and said calmly, "Perhaps in your opinion, I have great achievements and power, and I have already posed a threat to your imperial power, and I can turn back at any time; but in fact, my original intention is not I am the emperor, but to be the most powerful minister in the world, and also the most capable and heroic minister in the world."

"I am not greedy for power, but I want to control the direction of this country. After a few decades, I have realized my ambition, and I will definitely return the power to you Li Tang royal family. It's a pity that you can't wait, Li Yu can't wait, Time and time again, I was pushed to the edge of the cliff where I had to raise troops."

"Since you are going to attack me, then I will simply take your throne and become emperor myself. Stand at the pinnacle of this world and decide the fate of myself and this country!"

"Li Heng, Feng Shui turns around, and the world takes turns. But the world is ultimately the world of the people of the world. No matter how the dynasty changes, the master of the world is neither you nor me, but the people of the world."

"Li Heng, you can wait and see, I will make the country rich and the people strong, so that the people of the world can truly own the world and be proud of the country!"

……

……

Li Heng left the palace lonely, returned to his temporary mansion, greeted his concubine and his daughter Yanguang, the only blood relative who remained by his side, packed up his things, and prepared to move with the emperor to Luoyang, the central capital.

Just as Li Heng was entering the palace, Wei Huo'er, Nan Jiyun's general, led a thousand cavalry, galloped after him, and finally captured Li Yu and other royals who were dressed in makeup and mixed in the Hu people's caravan outside Qizhou.

Li Yu was determined to die, but unexpectedly Wei Huo'er did not take him back to Chang'an, but announced the emperor's edict to him, expressing that he would follow the emperor's will to lead the army to guard the royal family and go to Wuwei to join Li Gong.

Li Yu was at a loss, and soon became ashamed.Knowing that Zhang Xuan didn't take Li Gong seriously at all, he was going to "sweep them all" and publicly punish them.

But after all, there is still a glimmer of hope for going to Li Gong. If he stays with Zhang Xuan, he may become the meat on Zhang Xuan's chopping board one day.

In Wuwei City, Li Gong, who raised troops to restore the Tang Dynasty, gathered all the generals to discuss matters.

To be honest, the reason why Li Gong raised troops was related to a Taoist named Taiping.This person is around thirty, more than seven feet tall, and has a dignified appearance. He is dressed in a Taoist robe of green clothes, but he is also dignified, with a bit of fairy air.

This person traveled to Wuwei two years ago, got acquainted with Li Gong, and became a supported disciple in Li Gong's mansion.Li Gong knew that he was well-equipped with both humanities and martial arts, and respected him very much.

This time Li Gong chose to raise troops at this time, of course out of helplessness, but also at the instigation of Taoist Taiping.

If not, Li Gong's current power and family business and everything will come to naught, and he will even lose his life.As for raising troops to restore the Tang Dynasty, there may still be some chances to achieve supremacy.

As soon as Ge Shuhan left Hexi, Li Gong, with the assistance of Taoist Taiping, planned to raise troops and establish himself as emperor, and worshiped Taoist Taiping as a military adviser, general, and prime minister.And choosing to raise the banner of restoring the Tang Dynasty when Zhang Xuan attacked Li Tang's royal family was also out of the consideration of gathering the hearts of the world to Li Tang.

However, Li Gong was short of major generals after all, and he lacked the confidence to contend with Zhang Xuan.

Seeing Li Gong's gloomy and uneasy expression, he still said to himself that the Taiping Taoist Jishou in a Taoist robe said, "My lord, don't worry. The world will be settled in chaos, and Zhang Xuan is powerless to look around. For our army, what is the most important thing at present? Take Hexi, occupy a town in Hexi, you can advance or retreat, and you will be safe."

"Please look, my lord." Taoist Taiping pointed at the map and said, "Yang Lian is here, Shaliuhe, with an army of more than [-]. Yang Kai is in Anxi."

"Pindao has two strategies to offer to the lord."

Li Gong said in a low voice, "Military teacher, please speak, I will listen with all my ears."
