Chapter 46: Your Majesty, do you think that my tyranny is just lip service?
Chapter 47, Your Majesty, do you think that my tyranny is just lip service?
"Brother Zhang, I really should go!" Li Xingyun stood up and said.
"Brother Li, are we still brothers?" Zhang Zifan held his shoulder.
"Of course, we are good brothers." Li Xingyun's mouth twitched slightly.
"Good brother, give me half a year to give you a big baby." Zhang Zifan was already drunk, but he still made the promise with confidence.
"If you really treat me as a brother, you'd better not give this big treasure as a gift." Li Xingyun knew what he wanted to do, it was just to give him that Auntie.
"For the Tang Dynasty and for my brothers, I, Zhang Zifan, am willing to sacrifice." Zhang Zifan looked at Qingguoqingcheng and became more determined to force Ao Gu.
Why should you be the only one who suffers this crime? You, Li Xingyun, can't even think of escaping this disaster.
I have been serving them day and night these days. Do you think I am doing it for my own happiness?
"Brother Zhang, your sacrifice is too great. I really deserve it." Li Xingyun tried his best to shirk it.
As a master of gynecology and medicine, he could tell at a glance that the Qingguo Qingcheng sisters looked quite good, and they must have been fully nourished recently.
And the only person who has the qualifications and conditions to attack them is probably the handsome and extraordinary Zhang Zifan in front of him.
Good brother, you really spent a lot of money to deceive me!
"Brother Li, please don't refuse. I won't sacrifice much. Anyway, if you turn off the lights, the feeling will be the same." Zhang Zifan had tears in his eyes, but his expression looked extremely firm.
He still remembers last night...
【Memory review begins】
It was a night with slightly dimmed stars. Zhang Zifan and sisters Qingguo Qingcheng were sitting next to each other. The three of them were sweating profusely, as if they had undergone heavy physical labor.
"Madams, you also know that I have a good brother, Li Xingyun, who is now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He has been on the throne and has been emperor for so long, but as a brother, I have never congratulated him. This is really wrong!" Zhang Zifan looked grim.
Feel ashamed.
People who don't know, think that he is really ashamed because he didn't congratulate Li Xingyun on his ascension to the throne, but they don't know that this is just a common way for men to lie and deceive others.
"Zhang Lang, what do you want to do? Just say it!" Qing Guo [Yelü Pa Bu Yan] said carelessly.
"Just say what you want, you are our sisters' man, the consort of Mobei, there is nothing to be afraid of." Qingcheng [Yelüta Buhua] gently patted Zhang Zifan's shoulder.
"Ahem... Madams, didn't you say before that you have a niece who is about the same age as me?" Zhang Zifan coughed a few times and said.
Now, he has accepted his fate and cannot escape. Li Siyuan continues to bring the three of them together. He has become accustomed to the two sisters who have conquered the country.
Although at the beginning, he disliked their sisters and could not accept them, nothing in this world can always be avoided.
It’s like this once, it’s like this twice, it’s the same three times or four times.
As time went by, he gradually got used to their presence.
Men, if they really can’t escape, they can only choose to face the difficulties.
"Zhang Lang, you are talking about Ao Gu. She is indeed about the same age as you, Zhang Lang, but she is now in a high position and is the strongest person in our Mobei." Qingguo [Yelüta Buyan] suddenly realized. "Augu... Yelv Zhiwu, suddenly mentioned her, could it be Zhang Lang, you know that her face behind the mask is very beautiful?" Qingcheng [Yelüta Buhua] raised her head and looked at Zhang Zifan with a puzzled expression. She is serious. As one of the few people who has seen the true face of Ao Gu [Yeluzhiwu], she understands that her niece has a beauty and figure that ordinary people cannot match.
Those legs were white and long, not to mention envied by men, even by women like her.
Sometimes she can't understand that they are all a family, but they look different.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Zhang Zifan nodded with a distorted expression. Rumor has it that when a man lies, his expression will become distorted unconsciously. Now he is exactly at this stage.
Because she looks beautiful?
So the country is captivated?
Do you think I’m stupid?
Your family is really confident. Everyone says that they are very beautiful.
My niece even puts on a mask, how shameless she is!
I don’t dare to think, I don’t dare to think, I really don’t dare to think...
Zhang Zifan couldn't imagine how earth-shattering the face behind this mask really was.
Compared to the Qingguoqingcheng sisters who could at least meet people, he even felt less uncomfortable.
Many things are compared. Thinking of Li Xingyun's sad face in the future and having to accept this Ao Gu for the sake of Datang, Zhang Zifan felt extremely happy.
Li Xingyun, I treat you as a brother, but you compete with me for women!
There is no need for you to grab it now, brother, I decided to take the initiative to help you find one.
Don't thank me. There's no need to thank you. Just feel how I feel.
Thinking about this.
The more Zhang Zifan thought about it, the happier he became, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
But his smile caused the Qingguo Qingcheng sisters to misunderstand.
"Don't think about it. If our sisters marry you, the people in Mobei may recognize her. Ao Gu is in Mobei, but she is really powerful and powerful. Without enough status, let alone marrying her, we can't even think about it." Qingguo [Yelüta Buyan] is not jealous. Although she is not from the Central Plains, she is very open to men having three wives and four concubines. She does not object to her men finding concubines.
"Zhang Lang, if you fall in love with her, we can't help you. Ao Gu is not only the strongest person in Mobei, but she is also the queen's heartthrob. Her status is far above that of our sisters." Qingcheng [Yelu]
Tabuhua] shook his head slightly and said.
In her opinion.
Unless you are at the level of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is sheer fantasy to marry Aogu [Yelu Zhiwu], the powerful man in heaven whom your sister-in-law trusts most.
At this time.
Hearing what the Qingguoqingcheng sisters said, Zhang Zifan suddenly shuddered.
I have a crush on Ao Gu [Yeluzhi Dance]?
I want to marry Aogu [Yeluzhiwu]?
Do you really think I'm an idiot?
It’s not enough to already have you two big babies, but you also want to provoke a woman who will pollute your eyes?
Zhang Zifan shook his head violently and said in an extremely firm tone: "You two ladies, you have misunderstood. How could I have such thoughts about your niece? In my heart now, I only have you two sisters."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Zifan suppressed the nausea in his chest, and continued without changing his expression: "As you know, now that the Tang Dynasty has been restored, my brother Li Xingyun has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Qi Kingdom has surrendered, and several major vassal states, as well as the Jiedu Envoys have surrendered.
, this is a very dangerous signal for Mobei."
"Danger? Zhang Lang, how can this be dangerous?" Qingguo [Yelü Pagoda Bu Yan] asked in confusion.
Forgive her for not being smart enough, she really didn't understand it. At the same time, she didn't know what impact the restoration of the Tang Dynasty would have on the Mobei Dynasty. She still had the same fearless mentality as before.
"In the past, the Qi Kingdom successfully resisted the Mobei cavalry's southward march with its own power. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an order at this time, all the princes in the world would respond..." Zhang Zifan stopped talking.
He knew that Qingguo [Yelüta Buyan] could not understand, but Qingcheng [Yelüta Buhua] definitely understood.
As expected.
Qingcheng [Yelüta Buhua] frowned and said with a worried expression: "Zhang Lang, we are so familiar with Li Xingyun, he shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"
for this question.
Zhang Zifan didn't think for long. He was as smart as him and answered quickly.
"If he is not in his position and does not pursue his political ambitions, now that he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, we can no longer regard him as the Li Xingyun he once was."
Zhang Zifan is very aware of the identity gap between himself and Li Xingyun.
If you are never clear about your position, even if you are brothers, you will die sooner or later.
The most ruthless emperor's family, even brothers can attack.
What does he, an outsider with no blood relationship, mean in the eyes of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
"So... Zhang Lang, your real purpose is to get Ao Gu and Li Xingyun... the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry, so as to avoid the disaster of war between the Tang Dynasty and Mobei?" Qingcheng [
Yeluta Buhua] said in an uncertain tone.
"Yes, during the thirty years since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Mobei Dynasty wanted to go south more than once. Although they were blocked by Qi State, it does not mean that these things did not happen."
"When today's emperor wants to regain the Tang Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom has already surrendered, normally speaking, it is impossible to be the first to operate on those vassal states that have already surrendered on the surface."
"If he, in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, orders all the vassal states under the Tang Dynasty to attack Mobei, the Mobei Dynasty, which claims to have millions of cavalry, will be destroyed in a matter of seconds."
Zhang Zifan told his conjecture, which scared the Qingguo Qingcheng sisters so much that cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
They could not imagine how long the Mobei Dynasty, where their sisters belonged, could resist if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered all the vassal states under his command to attack Mobei in the name of the emperor.
Yes.
The Mobei Dynasty announced that they had millions of cavalry.
This is bragging, it’s all the same, it’s all done without drafting.
Just like the sisters who have conquered the country, they claim to the outside world that they are beautiful and unparalleled in beauty, but in reality, the big gap can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
"Zhang Lang, what should we do? Will the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really order the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty to attack our Mobei in the name of the Emperor?" Qingcheng [Yelüta Buhua] frowned.
She knows it very well.
The Mobei Dynasty, not to mention millions of cavalry, even if it can gather 500,000 cavalry, it will probably consume all the national power of the Mobei Dynasty and have to sell iron to just scrape together.
"It's very simple. If the two countries get married, as long as Ao Gu, the princess of Mobei... Yelu Zhiwu and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xingyun, get married, then all problems will no longer be a problem." Zhang Zifan smiled faintly.
Fight or not?
It is naturally impossible to fight. Based on his understanding of Li Xingyun, he thinks that it is unlikely that he will initiate a war unless there is a reason to start a war.
For example, the original capital Chang'an...
The other thing is.
Even if they were intimidated by the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the intimidation of the bad commander Yuan Tiangang, the major vassal states had to send troops, and the exact number of troops sent is unknown.
The reason why he threatened the Qingguo Qingcheng sisters was simply to use their identities to frighten the people of the Mobei Dynasty and let them take the initiative to send Ao Gu for marriage.
By then.
If Li Xingyun does not accept the marriage, it means that he does not trust the Mobei Dynasty. War and war are inevitable, and even the Mobei Dynasty may take the initiative to go south in order to protect itself.
In the past, when the Mobei Dynasty went south, it was only tentative and did not use all the strength of the country. If it used all the strength of the country, the Qi Kingdom alone would definitely not be able to stop it.
Because the Mobei Dynasty devoted all its strength to the south, even if it successfully captured the Qi Kingdom, Mobei's army would lose more than half, leaving it powerless to resist other vassal states.
But if someone forces you into a hurry, everything will be different.
The world of the Tang Dynasty was initially settled, and the troubled times had just ended.
The people are recuperating and recuperating, and it is not appropriate to engage in war or turmoil.
Zhang Zifan believes that Li Xingyun understands this truth and will definitely agree to marry into the Mobei Dynasty in the end.
.........
[End of memory review]
"Brother Zhang, you really have good intentions for me."
Li Xingyun patted Zhang Zifan's shoulder hard, and his voice sounded a bit gritty.
He felt that he shouldn't have come out today. He didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing. With the virtues of the two sisters who are all-powerful, how can their own niece be any better?
I, Lao Li, seem to be in trouble if I make a careless friend...
"As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I have no shirking responsibility for the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Zifan said righteously.
He at this time.
He had no idea what he was doing. He thought it was revenge against Li Xingyun. He had no idea that it was a reward for Li Xingyun.
As for Li Xingyun Benyun, deep in his heart.
He also thought that this was Zhang Zifan's revenge for taking Lu Linxuan away from him, but he didn't know that his junior sister Lu Linxuan belonged to him from the beginning to the end.
Unless he doesn’t want it himself, it’s possible for someone to miss it.
But he is not the Li Xingyun in the dream, how could he really be that stupid?
In fact, during this period.
Li Xingyun also had a slight understanding. He had obtained the memory of the future, not the rebirth of his future self.
His character tends to be domineering. Real domineering is much stronger than the stupid and hopeless Li Xingyun in the dream.
That night in Jiao Lan Palace, even if this memory of future time and space had not appeared out of thin air, he would not have refused.
Li Xingyun is not stupid. He refused to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Because of his status as the prince of the former dynasty, it is inevitable that the princes will fight for the world in the future and will end up unhappy for the rest of his life.
If that's the case, then why didn't he agree to the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang? It's true that he didn't have the confidence to be a famous king through the ages, but is it difficult to be a faint king?
The filial piety Emperor Liu Chan was obedient and died well, and could spend his whole life in Luoyang, the eastern capital, safely and soundly.
Am I, Li Xingyun, stupider than him? Or am I stupider than him? Do I have to be so stupid that I give away the throne that was given to me?
And...
Li Xingyun also secretly asked the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang in private, what if Jiao Landian had to refuse that night?
"Your Majesty, do you think my tyranny is just lip service?"
"Bold, Yuan Tiangang, you actually have such rebellious thoughts. Aren't you afraid that I will follow Zhaozong's example and suppress bad people..."
"This is the right of the emperor. In comparison, what I am more afraid of is that I watched the Tang Dynasty fall in my hands, just because of my benevolence as a woman."
"Yuan Tiangang, I feel...I don't look like the Li Xingyun in the dream."
"Your Majesty, he is him and you are you. Don't let dreams confuse reality."
"You mean, he is me, but I am not him, we are just two similar but completely different flowers?"
"Your Majesty, don't mention him. I really can't teach such a stupid disciple. From my point of view, if he doesn't die, he might generously give up the throne that he once abandoned to an outsider in the future." "No way! If you can't keep the family property passed down by your ancestors, you can also say that you are incompetent. If you give away the family property of your ancestors for nothing, how can you do such a shameless thing like going to see your ancestors? Isn't he afraid that he will be nowhere to be found after death?
Burial?"
"That Highness in the dream, he thought he was very smart and saved the world. Little did he know that without the orthodox bloodline of the Li and Tang royal families, the princes of the world would rebel sooner or later. That would be the truly cruel and inhumane troubled times!"
"He is really smart, no... Yuan Tiangang, I don't even know this... how do you know this?"
"When I was extremely bored, I used the context of the dream story told by His Majesty and used the armillary sphere to deduce a little bit of divination."
"Oh, you are an old immortal, you have some skills, and you can predict things like this, so will he get a good death in the end?"
"Maybe he can, maybe he can't, but his internal organs are all pieced together by the Corpse Ancestor generals. Even if he lives in this world, he is just a walking corpse."
"That's too tragic!"
"Everything depends on man, man can conquer nature. Everything is his own choice, no one forces him."
This day.
No one knows what bad handsome man Yuan Tiangang and Li Xingyun discussed in private, but Li Xingyun became more and more like himself, and was rarely affected by the memory in his dream.
He, Li Xingyun, finally succeeded in being himself.
