Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This plan almost means that God is helping Wang Kuang. The two old guys, Old Man Fang and Old Man Du, are not that close to Wang Kuang. They are both similar weirdos. They have nothing to do with anyone in the court.  Maintaining a certain distance is also related to their role in the court.  Because these two people are advisers, not capable ministers, what they are good at is mainly advising the emperor, and it is precisely because of their role that they cannot get too close to anyone.

    The two of them actually chose to order food at Jianlin Restaurant at the same time, and they made the reservation the night before. Wang Kuang had to wonder if these two guys had sniffed out something, or if the emperor had secretly told them. After all,  , Li Shimin really wanted to let the people live a good life. Which emperor doesn't think so?  Almost all emperors had this idea and understood it, but there was a huge difference between thinking it and doing it, and Li Shimin was obviously one of the emperors who could both think it and do it.  .

    Fang and Du, as the emperor's most important advisers, have a lot more brains than others. They also understand the emperor's thoughts most thoroughly. Therefore, it is not impossible that these two old men see themselves.  He made a move, figured out what he wanted to do, and took a step forward.  And with their participation, Shou Laosuan would never think that he was plotting against him. Others would listen to Wang Kuang, but Fang and Du would not.

    It's a pity that one of the two boys from the Fang family married a strong princess who always likes to go out of the way to blossom, and the other is too close to Li Tai. The boss Wang Kuang can't help him. The strong princess, Wang Kuang hides  It's too late; as for the second child, Li Tai's early loss of power may turn his fate around, right?

    Precisely because the two old men got involved unexpectedly by Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang specially asked the senior high school student to tell Wei Xiaowu not to make any big moves in the near future.  This was Wang Kuang's last resort in saving his life and could not be exposed.  People should go for the best, but they must prepare for the worst.

    Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaowu reported back and said that Fang and Du's family also ordered food at the same time.  It had nothing to do with Wang Kuang's arrangement. They just bumped into each other by mistake. It turned out that the Parthian mission was probably someone who always heard people say that "the house's plans are overturned", so Wang Kuang, the Marquis of Jian'an, was famous.  Although it was also rumored to be miraculous in Anxi, in the eyes of the leader of Anxi, Wang Kuang was just a thug who showed up, everything.  It was probably Fang and Du who were behind the plan, so they specifically warned the envoy to pay a visit to these two people if they were ignored after arriving in Chang'an.

    In the eyes of the Anxi ruler and their advisers, no matter how powerful Wang Kuang was, he was only in his early twenties. How could there be so many plans behind him?  There must be many people adding fuel to the fire, and the two scheming old men, Fang Du, must be the first to bear the brunt.  Wang Kuang's strength does not mean that he really has such ability.

    At the same time, the news from Wei Xiaowu also confirmed the previous speculations of the big guys. The Parthian mission really arrived in Khorazm early, but when they went there, they concealed their identity and did not disclose it.  They turned out to be Parthian missionaries, but pretended to be a caravan, coming to Chang'an to traffic goods.

    The relationship between the Kingdom of Khwarezm and Anxi is pretty good, otherwise they would not have been able to survive the strong presence of Anxi before the footprints of the Tang army crossed the Congling Mountains, even though it was separated from Anxi by a vast desert.  However, in addition to the desert that accounts for half of the country, the other half of the country is fertile plains, which is almost impossible to defend. There may not be many horses in Parthia, but the camel troops are also powerful.  , how can a vast desert stop the footsteps of the Parthians?

    Of course.  *Anxi also needs a place that can act as a buffer between it and the Tang Dynasty, so although it covets the Khorazmo Kingdom, it does not dare to take advantage of it.  But God is not as good as man. They never thought that one day, the powerful soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would be able to cross the Congling Mountains. They also did not expect that the leader of the Khorazmo Kingdom had longed for the Tang Dynasty. As soon as the army of the Tang Dynasty crossed the  Congling immediately surrendered and obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty king.  Speaking of which, the surrender of the Khorazmo Kingdom was mostly due to Hou Junji. Before attacking Gaochang, he was worried that the people from Congling would take the opportunity to covet the vast land in the Western Regions that had long been regarded as a treasure by the imperial court.  , therefore not only sent a team of troops west to Congling, but also sent a team of troops to take a detour to the Yibohai area, thousands of miles west of Gaochang, to guard, completely cutting off the two major gaps in the Western Region.

    ???????????????????? Otherwise, Ju Zhisheng would not have surrendered after besieging the city for only a few days. Gaochang is surrounded by small countries. Looking at Hou Junji¡¯s attitude, who would dare to move?  As soon as they move, Hou Junji can immediately kill them with the excuse of not obeying the court's orders. You know, they are also vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.  Naturally, Hou Junji not only defeated Gaochang, but also??In fact, he controlled the Yibohai area and indirectly allowed the Khwarazm Kingdom to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. This credit is not small. Otherwise, how could the credit of just attacking the next county of Gaochang be offset by his manipulation?  Can the crime of soldiers robbing civilians' wealth in Gaochang and embezzling gold, silver and jewelry from the Gaochang palace be upgraded?

    It was precisely because of the return of the Khwarazm Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty that the Parthians became anxious. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger, and its attitude towards the outside world was becoming more and more obvious. If they continued like this, what would happen?  One day, the Tang army crossed the desert. Should they surrender or resist?  Surrender, the leader of your country has reached the end. You have to obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't surrender, you will definitely not be able to defeat him. You have no choice but to find other ways out. It just so happens that the master and servant of Ju Chile arrive, so that you can't defeat him.  Seeing the strong hope, they panicked and dived into Ju Zhizhi's big pocket.

    This time they were determined to get new farming methods, other advanced technologies, and many seeds that could bring wealth, and they couldn't wait. After letting Ju Chile go first, they sent out the mission soon after, walking slowly and waiting.  News, if there is news that Datang wants to relent, he will reveal the identity of his mission and go all the way to Chang'an. If Datang refuses to relent, then they are really a caravan. Let's go to Chang'an to see if they can  Find other ways to get what they need.

    There are few caravans who venture across Congling in winter, but it is not impossible. Time is money. Everyone knows this. The greater the price paid, the greater the benefits will be. Therefore, they did not cause any trouble to be stationed in Congling.  After receiving the attention of the Tang Dynasty defenders, they successfully passed Congling. After passing Congling, they met the guards of Ju Zhili who had been sent back by the Tang Dynasty to report the news. Therefore, they immediately showed their envoys and followed the Datang army all the way.  Under escort, we arrived in Chang'an.

    After arriving in Chang'an, they unexpectedly learned that while they had just rested at Majiayi in the west of Chang'an the day before, the Tang Dynasty's court actually announced that the officials would be given a thirteen-day holiday, which meant that they would rest from the year before.  On the twelfth day, he only went to court for half a day, and then rested for thirteen consecutive days. This is unprecedented and has never been heard of. Looking at the world, which king and ministers of any country dare to be so concerned about state affairs?  of slacking off?  A break means you don't have to deal with state affairs for nearly a month?

    In fact, if it weren't for the absence of the emperor, because Yong'an Palace needs to be repaired, because Xu Guoxu is leaving next month, and because there are still some details of the war against Goguryeo that need to be worked out, according to the example of the Tang Dynasty, this Chinese New Year would have been a long time.  The political affairs of the new year will not be dealt with until the end of the Lantern Festival. Unless there is an emergency, ministers will be very relaxed during this period, either visiting relatives and friends or going sightseeing.  , who would run to the court before the Lantern Festival is over?

    The more the emperor is away, the more the courtiers guard their posts with trepidation. Everyone understands that this is the best time to increase their impression in the emperor's mind. It is precisely because of the emperor's absence that they can become more and more prominent.  As for your own dedication, people are doing it, God is watching, and the emperor is not without his confidants.

    It's just that the arrival of the Parthians gave the ministers an extra seven or eight days of rest. These seven or eight days should not be used as anything. There are laws there, and everything can be done according to the laws. There is no need.  Someone has to keep an eye on me, and if so, then I¡¯m going to die from exhaustion?

    But the people of Parthia finally came to their senses and realized that this was probably the Tang court playing tricks on them. They did not know that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not in court, so they just thought that all this was probably another plot by Fang and Du behind the scenes.  Therefore, when they arrived in Chang'an, when they heard that regular court work would not resume until the 25th, they immediately sent a letter of thanks to Old Man Fang and Old Man Du. However, they did not know this time and came up with this idea to irritate them.  The one who stood out was neither Wang Kuang nor Fang Du, but the boss of Yushitai, Old Wei, who did not participate in the decision-making at all and only exercised his supervisory function!

    Fang and Du also know that it is time to show off the wealth of the Tang Dynasty. They do not look down on the wealth of the Parthian people at all. They want to give the Parthian people a hint. If your price is too low, it is better not to open your mouth as early as possible.  Therefore, as soon as I received the notice, I immediately sent people to Jianlin Restaurant and Fulai Inn, and asked them to take turns delivering the best, most exquisite, and best dishes to their homes for three days, so that the Parthian people could have a look:  Look, this is the benefit brought by the new farming method, are you envious?  Are you greedy?  Do you want it?  Then weigh your bargaining chips.
