Chapter 899 The Role of Religion

"The prince can't do it, but the ministers can. Whether it's the Prime Minister or the eldest grandson, within the imperial court, it can be said that..."

Zhang Jiuli suddenly thought of two suitable people, but when he said this, he immediately shut his mouth. The following words were naturally powerful, but he could not say them in front of Li Xiang, even if they were The two of them already had a very good relationship with Li Xiang, so they couldn't say this out loud.

If someone reports Zhang Jiuli's words to these two adults in the future, then Zhang Jiuli will become enemies with these two adults. You are giving us two eye drops in private, and you will suddenly bring down the two people in the court. I was offended the whole time. No matter how successful Zhang Jiuli was under Li Xiang in the future, at least he would be unable to move forward in the officialdom of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"That's right..."

Su Dingfang patted his thigh beside him. This guy had a big brain and hadn't figured out some things inside the court. But when he saw Zhang Jiuli shut his mouth, he suddenly realized that he couldn't do it smoothly. Keep talking about this topic.

Even though he is Li Xiang's capable general, his foundation within the imperial court cannot be compared with these two adults. If these words are spread back to the capital, Zhang Jiuli will certainly not be able to resist, and he, Su Dingfang, does not have that ability. Did you offend the emperor's right-hand man and grow three heads and six arms?

"You are right to be cautious, but you have to come up with an idea when it's time to give it. Let's talk about the matter at hand. I think Lord Changsun is the most suitable candidate, and we can also combine it to make Lord Changsun and King Wei When combined, it becomes even more appropriate.”

Li Xiang knows what the people below are concerned about. Even if he reaches Li Xiang's position, he still has concerns and cannot just say whatever he wants. Now Li Xiang has combined this method. If If Changsun Wuji's power is not enough, then add King Wei to the mix. Wouldn't it be very simple for the two of them to cooperate with each other and deceive the King of Zhennan?

"His Royal Highness Taisun is wise."

Everyone present knelt down one after another. This matter can basically be decided in this way. Isn't Nanzhao country peaceful? If the weather is good and the people are peaceful, then we will find a way to create some trouble for you. Of course, we will also follow the trend. If the king and the brothers Zhennan King are in harmony, no matter how we calculate, I am afraid we will not be able to calculate a turmoil. .

If Xiao Yu were here, he would definitely feel that Li Xiang's plan was harmful to Tianhe. His country has done very well, and you have to find something for them. How can this be done?

These people are all old immortals educated by Confucianism. Li Xiang, it is normal not to discuss with them.

According to Li Xiang's thinking at the moment, the dead Taoist friends are not the poor Taoists. Instead of making things difficult for us in the future, it is better to take you down now. What's more, their peaceful situation of the people is a fake and will explode sooner or later in the future. Yes, just look at the surrounding temples to find out.

How can this be done when a religion has already placed itself above the imperial power? Now King Nanzhao needs religious help, so he praises them. When he no longer needs it in the future, King Nanzhao will probably have a war with these monks, but that war will be more distant. Now Li Xiang doesn't have the time and effort to wait. Now it's a matter between King Zhennan and the royal family.

While they were discussing this matter, someone outside was looking for Manager Qian. The person who came was someone close to King Zhennan. It was said that he wanted to give Manager Qian some gifts.

"I said Manager Qian, just hurry up. Maybe you can get a big harvest. This is also my order. No one will be looking for trouble in the future. If someone talks about this, you Let him come to see the king in person."

Qian Ping was still a little scared at first, but now everyone understands what is going on. But if things go downhill in the future, someone might bring this matter up to clarify the matter. Now Li Xiang's words are like Shang Fang's sword. , if anyone brings these things up again, it would be disrespectful to His Majesty the Grand Sun. This is also a show for everyone. As long as you do things well for us, I will never let you bear the responsibility. any risk.

"Thank you, Your Highness Taisun. I'll come back when I'm done with my humble duties."

Qian Ping estimated that the time was almost up. In the past few days, Li Xiang did not give King Zhennan a chance to contact him in private. Instead, he had close contact with King Nanzhao's family. If King Zhennan had any brains, I'm afraid. He couldn't sit still in his own palace, so it was normal for him to send someone to contact Qian Ping now.

Some of the things that happened at the beginning were what Qian Ping expected. They just sent another batch of generous gifts and just wanted to meet His Highness Taisun. But what happened next was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect it. King Zhennan was actually so generous that he could cut a piece of meat on the territory of Nanzhao and offer it to Li Xiang.

"Is this true?"

Because this matter was of great importance, Qian Ping could not believe the words of a slave alone. This person also knew that Qian Ping had to have some evidence, so he took out a letter from his hand, although it contained There is no signature, but one person can make it clear that this letter was definitely written by King Zhennan himself.

Qian Ping did not dare to delay in any way. Li Xiang had not yet finished his two glasses of wine. Qian Ping had not even had time to burn a stick of incense when he left. He immediately came back with a letter written by King Zhennan. When Li Xiang read it After reading it twice, you finally believe that it is true, that there is no conflict between the two parties, and you are ready to cede territory and seek power.

Have courage! Really courageous!

If King Zhennan were here, Li Xiang would definitely pat this guy on the shoulder and praise him. But the overall plan had been decided just now. After Li Xiang thought about it again, even though the price offered by King Zhennan was very high, Okay, but Li Xiang is not prepared to do this either.

"You go back and appease the people he sent. We can't express our stance now. Even if we want to express our stance, we have to leave here."

Qian Ping understood Li Xiang's words instantly. When we leave here, King Zhennan still can't see any hope, but this letter will definitely reach the hands of King Nanzhao. By then, if you two brothers If there is no trouble, then it will really be hell.

Of course, Li Xiang also has a good explanation. The reason why we didn’t give it to you at that time and gave it to you later was also for our own safety.
