Li Tang's Li!
The ruler of the Great Tang, the ruler of the Nine and Five.
Yue Li's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Yuan. Her eyes darted around as she said,""I know, you are His Majesty's man. Are you a general? Or some high-ranking official."
"No wonder you dared to touch the Li family of Zhao County.”
Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard his words.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards at the side wanted to kneel on the ground in fear.
He really wanted to say loudly to Yueli that the person standing in front of her was the current Emperor, the Great Tang's Emperor, Li Yuan. It was just that he did not dare to open his mouth.
However, Yue Li seemed to be completely oblivious as she sized up Li Yuan with interest. She opened her mouth once again and looked around before saying quietly,""If I follow you, can I secretly see His Majesty?”
Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he walked into the courtyard.
Yueli took two quick steps to follow beside Li Yuan, her eyes filled with longing and hope.
Li Yuan placed his hands behind his back as if he was taking a stroll. He said indifferently,"How can you meet His Majesty just because you see him? Even if the Queen of Persia has never seen him before.”
"However, under my influence, an envoy from Persia once went to Chang 'an, at the Chamberlain of Dependencies.”
When Yue Li heard Li Yuan say that she was the Queen of Persia, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her eyes.
Then, he rubbed his neck and said disappointedly,"If you can't see him, then so be it. But let me tell you, I know a lot of things about him.”
"I learned the official language of the Great Tang because I want to go to Chang 'an.”
"I just didn't expect…"
Yueli had narrowly escaped death. It had been many days since she had felt so relaxed. At this moment, there was also some desolation and loneliness in her words. She was still so excited just now.
Now he was dejected again.
Li Yuan didn't mind. He looked at her and said,"With me here, you don't have to worry about being found. Of course, with your weak martial arts, taking revenge is just sending yourself to death.”
"Go and have a good rest."
Yueli gave Li Yuan a Tang bow, then left with the Brocade Guard disguised as a servant.
After Li Yuan entered the study, Eunuch Lin was already waiting inside. He brought Li Yuan a cup of freshly brewed tea and said,"Your Majesty, this old servant sent someone to investigate.”
" Little Lady Yueli seems to have some relationship with the royal family of Persia. But according to what this old servant knows, Persia is currently in turmoil. The Great Yue Clan's Persian royal family has sent envoys to our dynasty several times to seek help.”
"However, the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Zhangzhung Ancient Nation are too far apart.”
"Your Majesty, you ignored it."
Eunuch Lin prepared the information that Li Yuan wanted to know or needed to know in advance and told him at the right time. This was his duty as Li Yuan's internal supervisor.
Li Yuan sipped his tea and felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth.
The greasy taste of the Medicinal Boar Banquet he had eaten before had also been greatly relieved. However, the tea leaves had been given out twice, so he didn't have much left. He needed to find some more tea.
If he remembered correctly, there were two thousand-year-old ancient tea trees in the Tiger Pass. However, he would have to find the exact location slowly.
Li Yuan put down the teacup, pressed his fingers together, and said,""In other words, if I were to fight the decisive battle in the East Turk.”
"Conquer Xitu again and expand the territory of the Great Tang.”
"If Persia can cut off the Western Turks 'path of retreat with our Great Tang, then even though Persia is small, it is not completely useless.”
Eunuch Lin listened from the side and felt the muscles on his face tremble.
Although the Great Tang was rich and powerful, it did not have much territory, not even the size of the Eastern Turks.
If they could defeat the Jieli Khagan in one go and take over the Eastern Turk region, the Great Tang's territory would more than double. If they took over the Western Turks, it would triple.
This was a feat that none of the emperors had ever done since ancient times.
Even if the Eastern and Western Turks were barren, they were still vast, and there would always be places suitable for people to live in. Otherwise, how could the one million people of the Jie Li Khagan survive?
Jie Li Khagan had gathered over two hundred thousand soldiers at the border, so his population was at least five times that of his soldiers. This was the lowest number.
Eunuch Lin wiped the sweat from his palms and said,""Today, this old servant learned that Your Majesty was conversing with that little miss Yueli, and I thought that Your Majesty had the intention of taking her into the harem.”
"I didn't expect that His Majesty had already begun to plan for the future.”
"You truly can see a thousand miles ahead and understand the opportunities of war.”
Li Yuan's hand picked up the teacup once again, and Yueli's appearance appeared in his mind. He then looked at the tea leaves in the teacup rising and falling, and said,""Order someone to investigate this matter."
"In the future, we can send an official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies to deal with it.”
"Even if you don't need it, that's fine. Since Bosa has submitted to the Great Tang, he is a subject of the Great Tang.”
Eunuch Lin bowed respectfully and said,"This old servant understands."
After he finished speaking, he left quietly.
Li Yuan sat alone in his study, sipping tea and reading a book. His mind was as calm as an ancient well, and he did not feel the urgency of a great battle.
However, at this moment, Zhao County's Li family.
Li Gongxu's residence.
Li Xunfeng became the clan head himself and entered the main clan. The others naturally opened their own residences. Of course, the reason why the great clans were called great clans was because they were the main clans.
This was because these mansions were all gathered together, like a giant occupying the county city.
Li Gongxu stood in Li Yifei's bedroom. He looked at the doctor in front of him with a gloomy expression and said,"Doctor You, how is my son's health? Is his life in danger?”
Doctor You tidied up the medicine box and wrote the prescription with a brush in his hand. He said,"Mr. Li, his bones are broken, but his life is not in danger.”
"I still need to rest in bed for at least a hundred days.”
"Just give him the medicine according to my prescription on time every day. If there are any changes in his condition, send someone to me and I will treat Li Langjun personally.”
Li Gongxu listened to the doctor's words and looked at the butler.""Send Doctor You away and give him a generous reward.”
The butler led the doctor away.
Li Gongxu looked at Li Yifei coldly and said,""Yifei, did your father tell you not to go out when something big happened in the clan?”
"What, I married you three more concubines, isn't that enough for you to play around in the residence?”
"Why did you have to go out and provoke that Outsider?”
Li Gongxu was furious. Li Yifei's mother, who was sitting by the bed, did not dare to speak at all.
Li Yifei's face was pale. He looked at Li Gongxu with an extremely painful expression and said,"Father, I listened to you. I really didn't go out and flirt.”
"I just want to go to East View Tower to eat something.”
"I didn't expect that I would be suddenly attacked after discussing with that person and even the shopkeeper agreed.”
"It has nothing to do with the foreign tribes. I know those two people. They are definitely from the Great Tang. The shopkeeper of the East Gaze Tower can also testify.”
Li Gongxu took a deep breath and looked at him in disappointment."At this point, you still want to lie. You're simply rotten wood that can't be carved.”
"Father personally went to ask the officials and those scoundrels around you.”
"A few days ago, you robbed a Persian merchant group. Most of them are dead, but there was a foreign woman who escaped and appeared at the East Gaze Tower today.”
"How do you explain this?"
Li Yifei was dumbfounded. He really went to eat.
Even though he wasn't as polite as he had said.
In an instant, he was speechless.
Li Gongxu waved his sleeves and looked at Li Yifei's mother.""A loving mother often spoils her son. It's good to lie on the bed like this, otherwise, she will do more evil.”
"I don't even know who killed me.”
Li Gongxu left the room after venting his anger. He had already been assigned by Li Zhongyan, and he was still in a terrible state. He had even wasted his time on this matter.
However, a tiger would not eat its cubs. After all, Li Yifei was still his son.
After Li Gongxu left, he looked at the butler and said,""I don't have time to care about these messy things now.”
"Get someone to watch over Yifei in private. If there's anything, report it to me.”
"As for the merchant and the foreign woman who left the East Gaze Tower, send someone to investigate. After you find out, you know what to do.”
" I understand," the housekeeper said with a sinister smile." They're asking for death by hurting Langjun. I'll make sure they're dead after I catch them."”
After the butler expressed his loyalty, he quietly left.
Li Gongxu stood there. He did not link this matter to Li Yuan at all. Instead, he thought that this was Yueli's revenge.
After all, Outsiders had no right to speak in the Great Tang.
If it wasn't for the emissaries from various countries, they would be considered the lowest level of slaves, just like Kunlun slaves and Korean maidservants. They were also considered goods that could be obtained by force.
After Li Gongxu had arranged everything, he collapsed on the chair as if he had collapsed.
He looked at the simple map drawn by the Li family of Zhao County and seemed to see horses galloping towards various destinations.
He did not have much time left.
Li Gongxu clenched his fists, his eyes shining with ambition. He muttered to himself,"Li Yuan, if I take you down, I'll be the next head of the Li family of Zhao County.”
"The Li Consortium's glory will be forged by me, Li Gongxu.”
Before Li Gongxu finished his sentence.
Bang!
The door of the study room was directly pushed open by the butler. The butler rolled and crawled on his knees. His face was pale, and his gaze was evasive as he said,"Ah Lang, Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun is dead.”
