Chapter 917 Nanzhao’s Balanced Policy

Li Xiang, the groom's official, was shaving his teeth while Qian Ping was reporting next to him. Zhang Jiuli's mind was also working quickly. I didn't expect that the King of Nanzhao's mind was spinning so fast. On the first day they met, he thought this guy He is a loyal person. It seems that we all have misunderstood. How loyal can a person who can reach the position of a king be?

"This king is indeed no ordinary person. He has used my influence to the limit and seems to have calculated me into it. Originally, I thought he was weaker, so in the battle between the two heroes, I still favored him. This way..."

After listening to Qian Ping's report, Li Xiang and Zhang Jiuli had the same reaction. They both thought that the king was helpless. After all, most of the generals in the country were with King Zhennan. If King Zhennan If he raises his arms, this king may not have the strength to resist. Unexpectedly, he will take advantage of the wedding to cut off King Zhennan's arms, and there are so many people at once. This guy's mind is really fast. Taking everything into account, especially Li Xiang's power.

Zhang Jiuli knew that Li Xiang did not want to be plotted by others, especially in the current situation. If one party's strength increased too fast, it would not be in the interests of Datang. According to Li Xiang's previous plan, After all of us have left, your fight can take place. Now that King Nanzhao has brought all this forward, how can Li Xiang agree?

"Send someone to tell King Zhennan. Just say that after careful consideration, I am ready to reject the king's words. Of course, let the news spread slowly. Just say that I don't want to bring so many people back to Chang'an..."

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, Li Xiang has to keep it all confusing. After all, everything is done in secret, so Li Xiang is also prepared to let it all slowly ferment in secret.

Originally, Li Xiang wanted to fool him. King Zhennan was powerful, so Li Xiang avoided this guy and didn't give him any support. Now it seems that if he doesn't give him any support, he might take risks. Yes, these guys haven't left yet, this guy might start an army.

"You and Qian Ping should discuss it when you go on the road together. Try not to express your position, but at the same time, you have to let King Zhennan know that I will not be partial to anyone, and I will try my best to ask for peace here."

There is nothing wrong with Qian Ping's heart, but when it comes to these political matters, Zhang Jiuli is better. If the two of them cooperate well, some things can be done without Li Xiang's intervention at all. All right.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Zhang Jiuli and Qian Ping went out. Li Xiang also considered the sunset in the distance for a long time. The development of the matter was really beyond his expectation. It seemed that he could not underestimate anyone, especially the seemingly loyal King of Nanzhao. .

At this moment, the palace is also having a banquet for the ministers. Some people are drinking wedding wine at Li Xiang's side, and some people are drinking wedding wine at the palace. In short, King Nanzhao is very happy now. If there are still people in the palace who are unhappy, That might be the Queen Mother.

King Nanzhao is also very clear about the Queen Mother's thoughts. Some old ladies just prefer their younger sons and would rather not give their position to their eldest grandson. Then they have to give this position to their younger son. Before King Nanzhao He also tried hard, but in the end he found that there was no way to win his mother's heart back, so he could only take this step, which was to marry into the Tang Dynasty and use external forces to attack his biological brother.

Although doing so carries huge risks, it may be easier to invite gods than to send them away, but now King Nanzhao has no other way. If he does not take this step, his mother and brother will be stronger than him. Many, even with the protection of religion, the final result is that the son will not be able to inherit the throne. The consequences for the Qian family in the end can be imagined.

"Mother, are you worried about anything?"

Seeing his mother depressed all the time, King Nanzhao felt uncomfortable in his heart. Today is obviously a happy day, but if you put on such a bad face here, aren't you making the people below laugh? The Nanzhao royal family doesn't have many good things going on. Now that something like this has happened, can't you show a smile on your face? If it weren't for her biological mother, it is estimated that some treacherous things could have happened.

"There is nothing to worry about. Everything is up to you now. When your eldest brother comes back from Chang'an, will your brother be executed?"

The old mother is also very aware of the fierce competition for the throne. They are also her two sons. According to the old mother's thinking, the eldest has been the king for a long time, why can't the second son be allowed to have fun? Moreover, the second child has already sworn that he will never treat his brother's children lightly. When the second child grows old, he will definitely let his eldest son succeed him.

What King Zhennan said at that time was sincere, and the Queen Mother immediately believed it. But the question is, can King Nanzhao believe all this? Don't say he doesn't believe it. If you find a random kid on the street, he probably won't be able to believe such a thing. Will you still think of my son by then? There have been so many troubles between brothers and brothers. It is estimated that everyone knows that now it is the inheritance from father to son. Only this kind of inheritance is the most stable. If brother and brother are better, then why do other countries No need?

"What are you saying, mother? My second brother swears in front of you, and I also swear in front of you. As long as the throne is passed on properly, I guarantee that the second brother's family will always be rich and noble, and the King of Zhennan will still be his. Let His descendants will carry it on forever.”

It's okay not to talk about this matter. King Nanzhao felt a little annoyed when he mentioned this matter. The two sons swore the same, and his face was relatively kind, but I don't know why the old mother believed in the younger son and never believed in herself. Eldest son.

"Let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about the marriage. You brought in people from the Tang Dynasty. This has already shaken our foundation. Take Li Xiang as an example, do you really think he is a good person? ? Are there not many countries that have been destroyed in his hands? Why do we in Nanzhao need to get involved in this?"

When we met in the past few days, the old lady saw that Li Xiang was a good person among people. She also thought Li Xiang was good before, but when she thought of Nanzhao's power...
