"I have thought about one thing for a long time. You are from the East, how could you help me so hard." Emperor Mian said.

Fuzheng hesitated for a while, and said with hatred in his eyes: "I hate! I hate a person!"

"Who?" Emperor Mian became interested.

"A man named Gu Qing! It was his biggest mistake not to kill me." Fuzheng said through gritted teeth, "Gu Qing set up a scheme against me. He is the person I envy the most in this world. I hate him the most. He is the one who ruined my life's ideals and ruined my life's persistence. Even if I can't live forever in this life, I will destroy him. The current Central Plains is Gu Qing's big dream. Everything is Gu Qing's dream, I will destroy his dream, he will destroy the goal of my life, and I will destroy his big dream!"

"I was drifting on the sea for two full years! I couldn't find my way, and I didn't even know where I was. During that time, my people and I ate raw sea fish to survive, and we depended on rainwater to quench our thirst. Countless times I thought I would die at sea, after a while I was really starving, we just watched each other eat whoever fell first, I started to tire of myself, because I knew human flesh What does it taste like."

"I draw Gu Qing's appearance over and over again at sea every day and night, and one day I stand in front of him and I will definitely make him regret it!"

After listening to his words, Emperor Mian looked at Fuzheng and said, "Then do you still remember what your enemy looked like?"

"Unforgettable!" Fuzheng replied in Central Plains dialect.

Not knowing what this sentence meant, Emperor Mian still heard a positive tone, "I have been hearing that there is a very rich country in the East these days. Is it richer than Rome?"

"Indeed, the wealth of the Central Plains is beyond imagination. There is food everywhere, and there is an inexhaustible treasure in a lifetime." Fuzheng said again: "Respected Emperor Mian, we must unite with Dashi to conquer Persia! Go down to Tianzhu, take a year of recuperation after occupying Tubo, and reorganize your troops before you can attack the Central Plains! As long as there is no Tubo, the Central Plains will have no barriers."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Mian laughed and said, "With you by my side, the end of this land is the territory of Rome!"

Fuzheng bowed and did not speak. This Emperor Mian still has not given himself a clear answer. A conceited person is easy to control. Fuzheng understands in his heart, but he is not the only adviser around him, because he is an oriental, he He didn't trust himself very much, and he was always on guard against himself. Rome is a sword, a powerful country that is enough for him to take revenge. Since he couldn't convince him, he had to use other means.

The opportunity can't wait any longer, and the best opportunity to win Tubo will be missed when Datang recovers.

Fuzheng walked out of the tent, looked at the Roman soldiers in the camp who were yelling and hugging the big food woman for fun, turned his head away in annoyance, and said in a low voice: "A group of reckless people, a mob."

When I came to my camp, I was beginning to analyze the current situation in Rome. There was another woman behind Mian, a very beautiful woman, and Mian obeyed her.

Emperor Mian also knew very well that this Central Plains man was very useful. Several battles were made by this Central Plains man to make Rome win with less. I have won successive victories in the way of fighting that I have never used before, and I am very curious about what kind of country the Central Plains is.

Gu Qing?Emperor Mian looked forward to how powerful this person named Gu Qing would be.

On the other side of Persia, Songtsan Gampo looked anxiously at the west.

"Why hasn't the Tang Dynasty dispatched troops yet!" Lu Dongzan said standing beside Songtsan Gampo.

"Time is running out." Songtsen Gampo said in a low voice, "Once Rome and Dashi unite, Persia and Tianzhu will be in danger."

"Yeah, the most ridiculous thing is that the Persians don't know yet. Their people are slack all day long, and they don't have the slightest nervousness before, as if they already knew that Rome would not attack."

"Easyness can make people weak. They are very nervous when the crisis is ahead, and they relax after a long time. After the scars are healed, they forget the pain!" Songtsan Gampo said melancholy: "The people in the tribe have made arrangements. ?"

"It's been arranged." Lu Dongzan nodded, "Once something happens in Persia, our people will immediately retreat to the east of Tubo."

Songtsan Gampo nodded and took out a letter to Lu Dongzan, "Someone give this letter to Gu Qing. If there is my confession in the letter, this battle can't wait any longer. If it continues, the Romans should wake up." .”

"Yes!" Lu Dongzan took the letter and ran away immediately.

Looking at the vastness of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo felt very powerless, and the idea of ​​making Tubo stronger became stronger again. It is true that Tubo can be worry-free by relying on the Tang Dynasty. If Tubo itself is not strong, it will still be mermaid.

Chapter 87

He wanted to stick to this ambition in his heart, but Songtsan Gampo also knew that he was no longer what he used to be. The world is changing rapidly, and the various tribes are no longer as cohesive as they used to be. It is rare for the various tribes to gather together to drink and eat meat as in the past, but now the various tribes quarrel almost every day.

Gu Qing is well aware of what Tubo has done, but what can he do now?As I got older year by year, that belief was almost extinguished in my heart.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Songtsan Gambo returned to his camp. The Central Plains has already semi-closed the current business roads. If this continues, the business roads will definitely become chaotic again. I remember that when Pei Xingjian came to Tubo for the tripartite alliance, now I think I think Datang had already taken a few more steps in secret when designing the tripartite alliance, and the hidden dangers of these steps will definitely be exposed in these days.

Datang's arrangement for this trade route will definitely not just balance the three parties, maybe Datang has never thought about balancing the three parties.

Now that Rome is here to disrupt the situation, Datang is taking it easy. Songtsan Gampo looked at the burning oil lamp in front of him and thought that Datang never wanted to balance the three parties, nor did he want to preside over the business road with the three. Tang might want to monopolize this business route.

Changan

Recently, quite a few officials have left Chang'an for Jiangnan, and this time they are all newly promoted officials.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the scene and said to Li Xiaogong: "This time the scene is big enough, could it be that the court is going to make a serious move against Jiangnan?"

Li Xiaogong sipped his drink and said with a smile: "Do you know what Li Chengqian wants to do most since he ascended the throne?"

"Rule the world?" Cheng Yaojin whispered.

"That's something that is in front of us. Li Chengqian is the emperor, so he is already in charge of the world." Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "What Li Chengqian wants to do most now is to make achievements. Sometimes the emperor doesn't care what he did before. What matters is the reputation behind him."

"What you said is weird, the reputation behind you is useless, can you hear it yourself?" Cheng Yaojin stroked the stubble of his chin.

"No matter how many emperors in the past dynasties, everyone wants to be famous forever." Li Xiaogong said.

"Hehe." Cheng Yaojin said again: "The Second Emperor Qin is still famous forever, and it is hard to say what will happen after that. Besides, His Majesty has done almost everything that can be done in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the frontiers have been settled. , the aristocratic family is also lingering."

Niu Jinda came to interrupt the conversation between the two of them and said: "Old Cheng is right. Your Majesty really doesn't count on Li Chengqian. He only hopes that he can guard this Jiangnan well. He doesn't need to open up any more. His achievements are very good. Don't look at the present, Ten years ago, how did everyone live in the Tang Dynasty? It was finally peaceful. It was the time for the Tang Dynasty to cultivate and rest. What the Tang needs most now is self-cultivation. After a few years of recuperation, when the national power grows stronger, Li Chengqian It's up to him to do whatever he wants."

"But the juniors are all high-spirited." Li Xiaogong said: "The turmoil is endless. You see, Gu Qing is doing more and more things now. Even Haimao is building roads. I don't know what this kid is up to. what."

"Yeah, what is he planning." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Niu Jinda, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Xiaogong sat neatly by the wall, basking in the sun, and sighed in unison.

Dali Temple

Di Renjie was in Dali Temple telling several Dali Temple officials who were about to be dispatched to Jiangnan, "Remember, our Dali Temple sent people to Jiangnan to inquire about news half a month ago. Outside of the reunion, you have to find out how many officials the Xie family, Yuan family, Xiao family, and Wang family have connected with in the south of the Yangtze River. If you can, you can dress up as businessmen and contact these four families."

One of them heard this and asked: "I want to report to Dali Siqing, so many people have been sent by the court, do we need to join them?"

"No!" Di Renjie shook his head and said, "This time, our Dali Temple is handling the case alone. Before we go, I will give each of you a hundred guan. It is best for you merchant Qiao Zhuangcheng to get in touch with the merchants of these four families. As for the official You don’t need to meddle in the affairs of the officials of the Ministry and the Ministry of Households. They are in the open and we are in the dark. In addition to guarding against the people in the south of the Yangtze River, you also have to guard against your own people sent by the court. This trip is not easy. Once you go Stay in the south of the Yangtze River for several months, and when I come back, I will ask the court for your credit."

The sixteen officials standing in front of Di Renjie bowed deeply.

"Also." Di Renjie continued to instruct: "I don't know what they can do for their own benefit. Some things should be said first, and come back alive. If they are in danger, they would rather not do it and come back alive."

"we know."

"Let's go, I won't see you off."

Sixteen Dali Temple officials took off their official uniforms and put on ordinary clothes to leave Dali Temple. Di Renjie watched them leave one by one. The most powerful ones, now Dali Temple also has a lot of new officials, not enough for these veteran backbones to leave one by one, and the old faces left by the original Dali Temple ministers are getting fewer and fewer every year.

It's time to train some newcomers, Di Renjie thought in his heart, watching a group of people walking into the crowd and walking into the gate of Dali Temple.

Gu family

Li Xiang followed Gu Qing for a walk in the village, and asked along the way: "Teacher, why did you say that Rome wants to march east?"

"It's all for merit. What the emperor wants is a kind of merit that can be admired by thousands of people. They like the feeling of being admired and admired by others." Gu Qing replied flatly.

"Does the teacher like it?" Li Xiang then asked.

Gu Qing stopped and thought for a while before answering: "Everyone likes this feeling, and I want this feeling too, but I think this kind of vanity is not as real as money."
