Chapter 110: King Lingxia(1/2)
Chapter 110 King of Lingxia
Guests from all directions flocked to Lingzhou and reached a peak.
According to Zhu Tong's words, this is a perfect marriage.
It’s just that Wang Hua didn’t write anything. Because this marriage is not as good as a political show as a marriage. Moreover, his original arrangements did not expect that this arrangement would be so clever.
If the marriage partner was not Wang Han, but Li Hong and others, there would never be so many people coming. If that were the case, it would make people mock it and flatter it. If it were Li Chiying, the risks in the middle should be considered. But it was the Wang family in Taiyuan, the family with the best family style in this era. The marriage between the Wang family and Wang Hua in Taiyuan was a perfect match. Even if the prime minister came to celebrate in person, he would not say that he was not here at the moment.
But Wang Hua was involved in the entanglement of interests with too many people. This marriage just allowed them to find a reason to come to Lingzhou.
So every day Wang Hua had to greet him with a smile, and at night he felt the corners of his mouth sore because of his smile.
It was under this situation that Li Longji went to Lingzhou.
But his concerns were bigger than those of the Wei family, and now many guests were coming to Lingzhou.
Many of these people may be able to recognize them. If his traces were discovered in Lingzhou at this time, they would cause many consequences. When they came outside Lingzhou City, they set up a tent and asked a subordinate he brought from Luzhou to Wang Hua's mansion.
Wang Hua also sent someone to take him over quietly.
Then the two talked straight to the point.
But Wang Hua immediately jumped up and said, "King Lingxia? I ask you how many kings of different surnames have gotten good ends since ancient times?"
In order to win over Wang Hua's promise, Li Dan was to make Wang Hua the title of King Lingxia in the future. If he had shallow eyes, this title was very good. With this title, Wang Hua's status in the northwest would be more legitimate. Of course, this is also Li Dan's greatest ability to bear it. Otherwise, as mentioned in the Romance of the Romance, a king with one word, or a division of the country, and a half family, wouldn't that bet?
But Wang Hua was displeased and angry after hearing this.
Li Longji said embarrassedly: "But you are different. You already have a strong army in Lingzhou area to ensure your safety."
"Since the army has guaranteed my safety, why do I still want the Lingxia King rewarded by your father?"
Li Longji was also angry and said, "Isn't this a way to rectify your name? Do you think my father wanted to do this, but he didn't make a compromise for the sake of the country?"
Wang Huatuo was amused and said, "For the sake of the country? Your father is for the country, and Zhang said for the country, and I can't understand it. It seems like I have really become a thief. Are you all for the country?"
"Then what did you say for?"
"For the country, for that chair is real. For that chair, your father, Zhang Shuo, is to support you to sit on that chair. He can be glorious and wealthy, and to leave his name in history. Why not do it? I pity you and even laugh at the merchants. What is profit? Is it money? Wrong, fame is also profit, power is also profit, and color is also profit, even piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, antique collection is also profit. No profit can get up early, just for the sake of their own interests, one by one, one by one. In fact, what is the difference between everyone?"
"So do we have to sit and eat, drink and wait for death one by one?"
"Criminal, you misunderstood my meaning again. I do not oppose this kind of behavior of running for profit. On the contrary, I have always encouraged it. I just oppose some people who always use profit to put big hats on others. Or use other methods to put hats on others. I just want to say one thing: fighting for power is the same nature as making money by merchants. They are all running for profit, and there is no difference between high and low. As long as you do not place the benefits you gain on the pain of most people, it is the source of social progress. Just like me, there is also a struggle for profit. This profit is to create various exquisite handicrafts, especially porcelain."
Is this true? Li Longji was very suspicious. If so, I can promise you immediately that the whole country will draw a thousand mountains, even if it is the Mang Mountain in Luoyang and the Zhongnan Mountain in Chang'an, I can draw dozens of peaks from it to dig for you to burn porcelain.
Wang Hua saw his suspicion and immediately said, "Criminal, don't disbelief, why did I just make handicrafts, and then enter the officialdom and then come to the northwest. You also know how these steps came. Because I have no right to protect me, I will attract greed even if I burn a porcelain or paint a piece of lacquer."
Speaking of this, he sighed. Perhaps no matter how good the porcelain he burns and how good the handicrafts he makes, no one dares to be greedy.
But he was carrying the happiness and safety of countless people, but he did not dare to devote his energy to researching crafts.
Therefore, things in the world are helpless and ten things are not satisfactory.
"Another thing, that is, King Lingxia, that is, if you become emperors in the future, this country belongs to you? No, it belongs to the people. If you treat it well, it can be passed on for generations. If you don't treat it well, it will eventually overturn the people you look down upon. Besides, what right do you have to divide the land and divide the king to a minister? If you really have this terrible idea, it will be difficult to obey, and you should not come to Lingzhou in the future."
The unification of the country is a good thing for the country, the nation and the people.
The bigger a country, the more the enemy dare not bully it. Li Dan actually made him the King of Lingxia for the sake of the throne. It simply made Wang Hua unbearable.
Li Longji became even more annoyed. He stood up and said angrily: "It's not the two strange questions you raised that we can't answer, so we use this method to express our sincerity."
But after saying that, a light of inspiration appeared in his head, because he thought of what Wang Hua said just now, "Is this country yours?" No. It seems that it has a close relationship with the previous question of Wang Hua, but if you think about it again, you can't think of any connection."
"You said I'm using you?"
"Yes, why don't you tell me the answer?" Li Longji said with his chest raised.
Li Longji played a clever trick here.
But Wang Hua immediately exposed his cleverness: "I didn't indicate that you would ask anyone. As long as I say it, you will know too. It's just within the April deadline, right? Let me tell you, don't think about it."
Li Longji was defeated gorgeously and sat down and drank the tea in one breath. Wang Hua was not in a hurry. He sat out and took out a book to read.
Li Longji couldn't hold back and said, "Wang Hua, what do you want?"
"Criminal, honestly, I have made arrangements long ago. But if I help you, many of my arrangements will be broken, so I give you a chance. If you have this idea, this answer will emerge. People in the world will have a good life, so I can help you with confidence."
"What kind of thought do I need to find this answer? Aren't you making things difficult for someone?"
"After all, you didn't think about it carefully or thought about it, but you neglected the most important thing, the common people. Prince, go ahead, I will either help you or not help you, and don't impress me with the King of Lingxia. I don't want to cut off the territory and the imperial power for the sake of the throne and for your imperial power, which is a disaster for the people."
The first question is the concentration of the power of imperial power. Concentration will lead to **, which is also the reason why the feudal dynasty did not last long. If you respect the people, you will think about weakening the power of imperial power and delegating power to the people. However, Wang Hua did not come up with the answer to the answer. The answer to this question is shocking. Li Longji did not break out of this framework, and even if he thought about it for eight hundred years, he could not think of it.
The second problem is the concentration of the rights of military generals. The power comes from the gun. Originally, the army is a killing weapon. If the commanders of the army are allowed to control the political, economic and civil rights within the jurisdiction, this will be a terrible consequence. That is, without An Lushan, there will be Li Lushan.
But the biggest point of this problem is Wang Hua himself.
If Li Longji had a little more courage, he would dare to question Wang Hua's current situation in the twenty-three states, which would be detrimental to the country and the people.
But this question was raised by Wang Hua himself, so no one could break out of this circle. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty emphasized martial arts and over literature, but it had not yet developed to the point where various Jiedu governors were in serious power, so it also made people ignore the answer to this question.
But if you really think about the country and the people with one heart, these two answers will automatically emerge.
But how many people have this heart?
Everyone said it well, "Loyalty, benevolence and righteousness are all selling dog meat with sheep's heads. Even the honest officials will also win their reputation, fighting for fame, not for the people."
So Li Longji drank tea in distress again. After drinking for a long time, he was convinced and said, "Can you change other requirements?"
"No, if you find these two answers carefully, all the problems will be solved. If you can't find them, I force them to say them, and you won't keep them in your heart. Or you can make a promise in your mouth now, but you may not agree in your heart. Saying them is just a waste of time."
For this, it would be better to let me support a puppet and execute it step by step. But Wang Hua did not say this sentence, and after he finished speaking, he stood up.
Li Longji loves whatever he likes.
Afterwards, Wang Hua talked with Zhu Tong, and Zhu Tong also laughed loudly. King Lingxia, can it be rare for Wang Hua now?
Not to mention the northwest, just Oceania, because this year's blood camp sent troops and the political situation was chaotic, various families also took the opportunity to shoot the king's flattery, secretly sent away nearly 300,000 people, making the Tang Dynasty people in Oceania close to one million. In addition to the captured slaves, the population may be approaching four million now.
Moreover, unlike the Tang Dynasty, there were Turks in the north and Tubo in the west, and there was almost no natural enemy.
Either they are indigenous people, but whether in Oceania or other islands, these tribes are very small in scale, but the terrain is complex, otherwise these indigenous people would have been conquered long ago. The remaining indigenous people are not worthy of harm. Another danger is slaves, because the proportion is compressed and the weapons are controlled, so this harm is not great.
Adding to the vast desert land, there is no need to worry about food, food and clothing. The population will reproduce in large quantities. In twenty years, it will easily approach the 10 million mark. Even in twenty years, the population will be closer and closer to the population of the Tang Dynasty.
How many people can there be in the twenty-three northwest prefectures?
In terms of area, how big can the twenty-three northwest states be? A large island is drawn in Oceania, and the area is several times that of it, not to mention the two beautiful continents far away.
However, it has more functions in the northwest, but it has nothing to do with this king of Northwest.
Li Longji had no choice but to suddenly think of Zhang Shuo, so he found Zhang Shuo,
Zhang said that Wang Hua had a pause and said, and was embarrassed, so he went to Changzhou and Kuangzhou to see the horse farm.
After the two met, Zhang said for a while and said, "There is another way. I don't know whether it is a disadvantage or a advantage."
"Shilarious Minister Zhang, tell me."
"There is another person who can ask the answer. Little Princess, I see a lot of things here. Although the queen wanted to marry Princess Anle again, Wang Hua did not stop the plan to let the little princess be the mistress. It may be that the little princess is indifferent and he doesn't want to argue at home, so he made this decision. If the little princess is asking for Wang Hua, maybe he will give the answer. But if the little princess is the mistress, he might not help His Highness, but he can help him at the critical moment. But if the little princess asks for Wang Hua, I am worried that it will be counterproductive. Moreover, this is a big deal, and Wang Hua may not compromise."
Li Longji felt quite embarrassed by this statement.
To be honest, the biggest gain in this industry is to see my sister achieve the right result.
He has two biological sisters, the eldest sister practices Taoism all day long, and he falls into the mortal world, and he also wants to see her happy. Otherwise, he would not have smashed Wang Hua's shop to vent his anger.
If Wang Hua carefully considered Xiaojiu because of his intervention, the consequences would be bad. After all, their marriage was not settled.
At this time, Zhang Shuo said again: "Your Highness, state affairs are the most important."
Don’t think about your ninth sister’s happiness, or think about whether this method works.
Li Longji gritted his teeth and said after a while: "I'll test the ninth sister's tone."
Then he sneaked back to Wang Hua's mansion and talked to Li Chiying. He talked about the problem very seriously, not to be the emperor, but to say that if Wang Hua did not help, his family might be killed by the Wei Party at any time. Just like Wu Zetian killed the Li clan clan back then.
Li Chiying had seen his third brother feel pitiful and wanted to agree, but she suddenly remembered what Wang Hua had said about taking her out for hunting. She held back her words and said, "Three Brother, I'm afraid I can't persuade him."
"Nine Sister, we have no requirement. As long as the king draws out a thousand elite soldiers and sneaks into Luoyang secretly. If the queen does not harm the emperor, then forget it. If the emperor is harmed, he will immediately make trouble, and it is not to ask him to send tens of thousands of troops to march into Luoyang. If it is successful, the father also promises to let him be the King of Lingxia."
"King of Lingxia?" Li Chiying asked in surprise if she didn't know about this.
"Yes, King Lingxia, the prince of the country, can accept two sects according to the law, or even the super sects of the country. Maybe three sects can accept three sects. In this way, you, the little lady of the Wang family, and even Princess Anle, can marry into the Wang family with justification." Li Longji said tempted.
In fact, looking at his sister's pure eyes, he really wanted to slap his mouth.
Li Chiying thought for a long time and comforted him: "Third brother, don't worry, there is still nearly a month left, I will think of another way."
"My ninth sister, the country, and my family's life is safe, so I'll ask you," Li Longji said sadly.
After saying that, he fled in panic. At this time, Li Longji was still a passionate young man. Although he was scheming, he was generally enterprising and had some conscience. Deceiving his favorite sister was ultimately condemned with his conscience.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked in front, Zhu Tong found Li Chiying and said, "Miss Mother, think twice before doing it."
Li Chiying was shocked. In fact, the most pitiful person was her. Among this group of demons, she had no idea what she was going to do.
When Li Longji was unable to understand, Wang Hua also received another message, and the Tubo people did not agree to his conditions.
He had long expected this, and if he really agreed to his conditions, it would be a little difficult to deal with. Once Princess Jincheng comes back, it would be unfair to stay in the northwest.
It is impossible for Tubo to let Princess Jincheng come back, what a shame it would be.
