Chapter 99: Lingnan Jiedu Envoy

Tang Chao and Li Longji immediately went hunting. What we have to admit is that Li Longji was indeed very skilled in archery and hunted a lot of wild game. Tang Chao and Ma Zhengzhang were very clever and would not shoot even if they had good opportunities. They wanted to rush in front of the emperor's horse so that he could succeed. With Li Longji's archery skills, he could not miss. Everyone immediately gave him top hats. There was a roar of flattery. The emperor and his ministers were very happy with each other. Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Han were not good at riding horses. I had no choice but to wait with the palace maid at the foot of the mountain.

While hunting, everyone suddenly started to make a noise because a big bear appeared in front of them. It looked funny, but it was huge and ran very fast. Li Longji was overjoyed when he saw it: "Tang Dynasty, you come and shoot."

Tang Chao smiled bitterly, Li Longji's competitive spirit is too strong, but he always takes it to heart when Mrs. Korea makes a joke. I can't shoot, otherwise, if I really want to hug Korea Madam, that woman may make a lot of rumors in the future, which will greatly increase Li Longji's jealousy. She deliberately missed three arrows, but the fourth arrow only hit its tail. Li Longji basically wanted to give this credit to The Tang Dynasty did not expect that his archery skills were so poor, so he shouted: "Get out of the way, it's up to me."

He opened the precious eagle bow, and the wolf-toothed arrow was sharp. With a loud roar, he used his inner strength and the arrow shot out like the wind. One arrow hit the bear's butt and was shot from the butt.

This bear had thick skin and thick flesh, so it would have been difficult to kill it with one blow. However, Li Longji was skilled with a bow and horse, and was good at hunting. He knew that to deal with a big beast like a bear, he had to attack its belly or eyes and other soft parts. An arrow shot in, and the bear let out a scream, obviously hurting the bear's intestines and stomach.

But precisely because of this, the bear's ferocity was also aroused, and he ran towards Li Longji, wanting to take revenge immediately. However, Ma Zhengzhang and Tang Chao were well prepared. They jumped off their horses, one on the left and the other on the right, and threw themselves in front of Li Longji's horse. To prevent the emperor from getting into danger, he struck out a palm.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------

Xiong Xiong had been seriously injured, and his dodge was not as flexible as usual. The two men's martial arts were not simple, so they hit Xiong Xiong's belly with two palms at the same time.

In fact, Li Longji's martial arts was more than enough to kill the bear, but the bear was a ferocious beast. If he fought back hard before dying and injured a piece of the emperor's skin, it would be a big deal, so the two of them were afraid of hurting the emperor. , I used all my strength when I took action, and my secret strength was strong.

Although this bear had a strong ability to withstand blows, after being struck by two giant palms, its internal organs immediately became pulpy, it fell limply, and it died immediately.

Li Long basically wanted to take action, but he wanted to see the Kung Fu of the Tang Dynasty. He and Ma Zhengzhang killed the huge bear immediately with just two palms. He secretly admired this kid in his heart. He was careful at all times and did not dare to be arrogant, but his martial arts must be High, even if you defeat masters other than super masters like Ma Zhengzhang during the martial arts competition, your martial arts must be very powerful.

Everyone cheered and praised the emperor's ability to master the art of archery. He killed this ferocious beast with one arrow. Li Longji was so happy that he put on the high hat when it came. He thought happily: I have the Tang Dynasty. How could such a good man be afraid of bandits and bandits? Thinking of the rebellion in Lingnan, he already had doubts in his mind.

I just heard him cough: "Dear ladies, I rarely go out hunting in recent years. Do you know the reason?"

Li Linfu and others did not dare to speak, so they listened to him continue: "It's very simple. The world is not peaceful. Although our Tang Dynasty claims to be powerful, there are Turks in the north, Nanzhao and Tubo in the southwest, Uighurs in the northwest, and chieftains in Lingnan. , there are Fusang and Baekje around. They are constantly harassing me. If they don’t obey my rule, the country will not be at peace. If I go hunting often, I will be reviled by the people of the world."

When Li Linfu heard this, he saw that the opportunity had come and said quickly: "Back to the emperor, Gao Xianzhi has just defeated the Tubo and Turks. The rebellions in the north and south are no longer a concern. The Uighurs have not dared to invade the border in recent years, but the remote areas in Lingnan are difficult to control. But as long as the emperor sends a capable minister to Lingnan, he will definitely be able to quell the rebellions of the chieftains from time to time."

Li Longji was very happy: "What Li Aiqing said is true. Gao Jiedu contributed a lot. I originally wanted to recall him to the court, but the Tubo and Turks have been harassing them over the years. Without him, it would be difficult to control the situation. With him, it would be difficult to control the situation." Now, we don’t have to worry about Tubo and Turks. As Li Aiqing said, Lingnan is a foreign land, and most of the residents are chieftains. It is very similar to Nanzhao. It is not a solution to restore peace and stability, but Jin Silver is prolific in Lingnan. It is very important. Even if we spend ten times more on military expenditure, we still have to control the situation. Li Aiqing, do you think there is anyone else in the court who is as capable as Zhang Jiuling?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Zhangchou Jianqiong,"

Li Longji frowned: "General Zhangchou guards Nanzhao and Tubo. He has a heavy responsibility. I'm afraid it's not good to tear down the wall to repair the Western Wall." Huh, he sneered in his heart. This old guy is plotting against Zhangchou Jianqiong again. Yeah, I deliberately refuted it.

Like Li Longji, handling military affairs with his ministers while hunting or playing chess is what Li Longji is most happy to do. After all, he wants to run the country well, but there are so many things he wants to do. , so I had to take time out of my "busy" schedule to solve the problem.

He didn't know that if he handled military and national affairs so casually, it would be difficult for a wide audience to discuss it, and if he handled it casually, as his current appointment as an official is an example, there would be no fairness in it, and it would be very likely to cause harm to the country and the people. , but for himself, he felt that he was a diligent king and had done so many good things for the people. He felt that the enjoyment he received was natural.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister thought that Zhangchou Jianqiong was defeated at the hands of Lang Zhengxuan in Nanzhao, and the morale of the army was shaken. Even though he is very talented, he should be given a chance to breathe and go somewhere else to relieve the pressure. , This was also the emperor's previous practice. Of course, Nanzhao and Tubo would be easier to guard against with General Zhangchou here. However, the veteran felt that the Tang Dynasty was worthy of a big job and could take up this position. When the time comes, General Zhangchou would control the situation in Lingnan. Once the situation in Lingnan is settled, there is nothing wrong with replacing General Zhangchou back to the high position of Jiannan Jiedushi."

Li Longji was very angry, old guy, you want to test me. He was a high-ranking official in Nanzhao before the Tang Dynasty. If I appoint him as the governor of Jiannan now, if he and Li Gesang are no longer connected, Doesn't that mean selling the entire Southwest to Nanzhao?

But Li Linfu was talking about the matter, and he couldn't do anything to him. He whipped him in a circle with a horse whip and said with a smile: "Li Aiqing's words are very reasonable, but in terms of appointing military envoys, although I like the Tang Dynasty, I still have to Look at what he means, Tang Dynasty, please tell me,"

Huh, I want to see if these two people really have a conflict or if they are just putting on a show for me.

When the Tang Dynasty heard this, he knew that a hot potato was coming, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have done a good job as an official in the court, why do you want me to become a general? Besides, I am young and have no experience in running the army. I am confident that I can stay with the emperor, pray for rain, go hunting, etc.,"

Li Longji sneered in his heart, this boy is so cunning. If you mention his great achievements in Shandong, you think I won't send you out to do things. Then his face sank: "Tang Aiqing, who is born to be a general? Fighting wars and governing local areas are both important." This is where you train people. You have become a high official equivalent to the prime minister at a young age. You are indeed very talented. I also appreciate you very much. But don’t forget that your qualifications are still very shallow and lacking. It’s a lot of experience, so I’d better go out and be a foreign official,”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Tang Chao's legs trembled. Mom, you have forgotten my great achievements and want to demote me from the court. But you have to give me a reason no matter what. I am very dissatisfied.

Li Longji immediately saw his dissatisfaction: "Tang Aiqing, do you think what I said is right?"

"Back to the emperor, what the emperor said is absolutely true. My qualifications are indeed shallow and I need more experience. I hope the emperor will give me a chance to go somewhere and practice."

"Haha, that's good. I thought you had complaints against me. Don't worry. I know your contribution well. As long as you are not too embarrassed, I will recall you to the court soon and entrust you with important tasks. , then you analyze the situation in Jiannan and Lingnan, and then tell me your wishes, whether you want to go to Jiannan or Lingnan,"

Tang Chao's heart trembled, mother Li Linfu, you brought up such a stupid thing, didn't you just want to harm Zhangchou Jianqiong, but in the end he didn't harm me, Tang Chao, but involved me, Tang Chao, this bastard, his court There are so many officials, why do I, the Tang Dynasty, only have to deal with the miscellaneous things in Lingnan? Li Longji is really soft-hearted, why is he willing when Li Linfu mentions it? Could it be that the emperor is already jealous of me? .

There are various signs that the emperor doesn't seem to like me very much anymore. Damn it, I'm a good official in the imperial court. Why do I have to go to that miasma-ridden ghost place? Haha, if it were before time travel, who would have appointed me as the official? The governor of Guangdong makes me smile. Haha, not to mention the governor, even the mayor of Zhangzhou is not bad. He can show his relatives and make a name for himself. But now is the Tang Dynasty, and those places are remote places. The oil and water that comes can be harvested.

Hey, forget it, oil and water are one thing. I heard that Lingnan produces gold and silver, and it is very possible to get fat. But going to places where birds don’t lay eggs is not as fun as in the capital. The high-end hotels in Yunjin Tower Dinner, and Aunt Gu's pipa, I'm afraid I can't hear it either. This made the Tang Dynasty immediately think of Bai Juyi's future "Pipa Tour", "Living near the Huanjiang River, the land is low and humid, and yellow reeds and bitter bamboos grow around the house." "Vomiting and mute" The noise is hard to hear, the cuckoo sings and the blood ape moans,"

After thinking for a while, he had to say: "Back to the emperor, in my opinion, although Jiannan looks dangerous, with Nanzhao and Tubo, it has a strong military force. Nearly 100,000 Tang troops are stationed. Even if there is a small defeat, General Xiang Zhang It was like last time, but in general, as long as the emperor does not want to capture the land of these two countries, they will not dare to provoke easily; on the other hand, Lingnan, although the place is smaller, has a strange terrain, mountainous areas, and many indigenous people. It will be much more difficult to subdue the people. I am afraid it will take a general like Zhangchou Jianqiong to control the situation."

Li Longji was angry in his heart. Boy, the fox's tail is exposed. How do I know that you and Nanzhao have been clean and are you a spy? I can't take such a risk. He sneered: "Tang Aiqing's analysis is very reasonable, but Well, the more difficult the place, the more it can test a person's talent. Tang Aiqing can handle things as difficult as the severe drought in Shandong properly and to my satisfaction. Believe me, as long as you handle it well this time, I will I can appoint you as a servant to handle world affairs. Do you have the confidence?"

Grandma, you still don’t give me face. It seems that my hope of becoming the Jiedushi of Jiannan has been dashed. Grandma, if you ask me to be the Jiedushi of Lingnan, doesn’t this mean you have demoted my official position?

Damn it, Li Longji, you are a villain. It seems that I may have fallen into the hands of a woman. Mrs. Korea’s words made you, Li Longji, so worried. Haha, I would like to see how you went down the mountain. When the time comes, will the Korean lady give you a hug?

This mother-in-law, this foolish king.

But what can be done: "Wei Chen has it,"

"Okay, this is my decree, appointing you as the Lingnan Jiedushi to quell the recent riots,"

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty,"

The fate of the Tang Dynasty was instantly changed by these few words. Even he himself felt that this was not true.
