The complex in Li Longji's heart was shocked by Princess Meixi's frank four words, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
Dare to love and hate!
Love is the biggest thing that matters to you. It is related to the happiness and gain of your life, and you must do it at all costs.
A man, an emperor, can't even get the woman he admires, what else is he going to do in the world?
Yuhuan, Yuhuan, I must get you! Li Longji actually whispered the woman's name.
Then he stood up, stretched out his hands, and approached Princess Meixi. He was a little carried away, as if he saw the woman he had longed for right in front of him.
Li Longji was distracted for a while, feeling impulsive. A cold and domineering look suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked straight at Princess Meixi.
He was about to rush over and take the beauty into his arms.
Mei Xi took a sneak peek, not knowing what was going on, and felt an inexplicable pressure that made her a little breathless.
Moreover, Li Longji's movements were too exaggerated, which scared Princess Meixi and quickly backed away.
Gao Lishi saw it and knew that the boss was suddenly in a mood. He was afraid that he would lose his temper and hurt his nerves. After all, this was the main hall, and in front of him was the Princess of Korea and a twenty-one beauty. He was afraid that Li Longji would make another joke.
Gao Lishi stepped forward, stopped Li Longji, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Princess Meixi is still waiting for your Majesty to speak."
Li Longji said oh and was pulled back from the hallucination. He also felt that he was being rude and missed her so much that he almost mistook Princess Meixi for Yang Yuhuan.
Li Longji took two steps back and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Li Longji asked: "Have the people from the Ministry of War arrived?"
Gao Lishi replied: "Lu Shangshu has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
"Xuan." Li Longji said, stepped back and sat down, looking at Meixi with a kind face.
The emperor's face changed faster than the stage performance. Meixi was so frightened that she was inevitably panicked and bowed her head in silence.
Li Longji's actions just now scared Mei Xi. If Li Longji suddenly forgets everything, Mei Xi really doesn't know how to deal with it. It is estimated that things will be very bad and ugly, so there is no doubt that she will be convicted.
Soon Lu Xuan, the Minister of War, came in and met Li Longji. Li Longji asked: "Lu Shangshu, are our neighbors in the Tang Dynasty okay these days?"
Lu Xuan was startled and hurriedly replied: "Back to your majesty, your majesty is wise and powerful. He has conquered the world and has been surrendered by all directions. Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the neighbors have been well behaved, recuperating and recuperating, and there has been no turmoil?"
Lu Xuan was a little confused. Regarding the news in the surrounding vassal countries, there was almost always a small report every three days and a big report every seven days. He never slackened off.
Because Li Longji attaches great importance to the stability of neighboring countries, the Ministry of War's report summarizes the information from the Sixth Protectorate, which is accurate and timely. All the information is on Li Longji's desk. Why does Li Longji have to ask questions in person?
Li Longji frowned, looked at Lu Xuan, and asked: "The Sixth Route Protectorate has no jurisdiction, is there any sign of unrest? Is the world really peaceful?"
Lu Xuan was covered in cold sweat. What does this mean? Isn't it good for the world to be peaceful?
Lu Xuan asked weakly: "Your Majesty, is there any oversight by the Ministry of War? All border military intelligence information is collected and processed by the ministers personally and reported to Your Majesty. If there are any omissions, please punish them?"
Lu Xuan said and already knelt down.
Li Longji did not rub sand in his eyes and kept a close eye on the Ministry of War. Li Longji experienced great turmoil in the early days of his accession to the throne. Although twenty or thirty years had passed and the world was in great order, Li Longji did not completely trust his neighbors.
Li Longji asked: "I heard that there have been some changes in the vassal countries under the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate recently. Didn't they notice it? Even your Ministry of War didn't have any news?"
Lu Xuan suddenly realized that there was a problem in Northeast China.
The Tang Dynasty adopted the Duhufu system to uniformly administer and handle border affairs. By the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, there were six Duhufu left, and the Andong Duhufu managed all the vassal states in the east.
There are five or six vassal states in the east. There is no direct conflict. It is normal for everyone to live in peace and harmony.
Through the channels of Li Mu and Princess Meixi, Li Longji learned that there might be civil strife in Goryeo, and the competition between the two forces was about to break out.
But the Anton Protectorate, including the Ministry of War, knew nothing about it. How could Li Longji not be angry?
Lu Xuan hurriedly confessed, "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the minor minister. The minor minister will immediately conduct a thorough investigation and summarize the latest situation and report. The Anton Protectorate will immediately increase its vigilance to deal with possible crises."
Li Longji scolded: "The Anton Protectorate is four to five thousand miles away from the capital. Can a thorough investigation be enough to make up for the situation? Maybe your news has not returned yet, and the east has become a pot of porridge."
Lu Xuan was sweating coldly and kept pleading guilty.
Lu Xuan was also puzzled. There were often fights in the country, but as long as there was no threat to the soldiers and civilians on the border of the Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate would turn a blind eye.
In any case, domestic strife is inevitable. Datang will always support the victorious side, the strongest side.
Why did Li Longji make such a fuss today and suddenly want to intervene in the internal struggle of the vassal country? And he was so harsh and aggressive.
Lu Xuan said: "Your Majesty reprimanded me very much. Weichen knew his crime, and he immediately made a plan to make amends, put out the war as soon as possible, and ensure peace in the east."
Li Longji snorted coldly: "Lu Shangshu, are you afraid that you haven't even figured out which vassal country I'm talking about?"
Lu Xuan was extremely depressed, but he had already seen Princess Meixi on the side. Princess Meixi had made a lot of news in the past few days since she came to the Tang Dynasty. How could Lu Xuan not know about it.
At this time, when he was being questioned by Li Longji, he blurted out without thinking: "Your Majesty, there should be civil strife in the Kingdom of Korea. The uncle-nephew dispute for the throne of Korea has already begun."
Li Longji softened his tone and said, "Thank you for thinking about this. Get up and talk."
After Lu was pronounced guilty, he stood up.
Li Longji asked: "Now that we know it is the Kingdom of Koryo, as the Minister of War, do you have any opinions?"
Lu Xuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, the Anton Protectorate maintains the stability of the countries to the east by sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. As long as the war does not affect the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, let them fight on their own first.
, in the end we help the strong and eliminate the weak, stabilizing the overall situation in one fell swoop.”
The territory of the Tang Dynasty was too vast, and there were more than dozens or hundreds of foreign ethnic groups and vassal states in the surrounding areas. It would be easier to support the powerful government and submit to the Tang Dynasty.
For those daring and powerful aliens who are eyeing the Tang Dynasty, the war horses and spears of the Tang Dynasty warriors will immediately crush their land and pierce their chests.
Li Longji nodded. This has been a long-standing national policy and is understandable.
Li Longji asked: "The Goryeo Kingdom respects and respects our Tang Dynasty, and the beautiful princess is innocent and lovely. Now that her father and brother are in trouble, our Tang Dynasty cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. Does Lu Shangshu have any good ideas?"
Lu Xuan basically understood what Li Longji meant. Other countries were fighting and killing, while the Tang Dynasty was just watching a show. Koryo, because of Princess Meixi, had to help.
Beauty Diplomacy.
Your Majesty likes beautiful women.
I heard that Princess Meixi and the twenty-first prince have been very close recently. The twenty-first prince suddenly became famous, and his knowledge of poetry, literature, and inventions were amazing.
Even Lord Li Linfu praised the twenty-first prince for his unparalleled character and cultivation.
The twenty-first prince is about to ascend!
The twenty-first prince received His Majesty's favor, and this beautiful princess followed the rising tide. I, Lu Xuan, understand this truth.
Your Majesty is wise.
Your Majesty is brave.
Lu Xuan glanced at Princess Meixi and asked, "Princess Meixi, are you going back to your country today?"
Meixi said: "Yes, we will set off tomorrow. Today I specially bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor."
Lu Xuan knew what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have a small suggestion. Since Princess Meixi wants to return to the country, we can send an elite cavalry to escort her. Without any explanation, we can deter the arrogant people in Korea who are ready to take action.
"
Li Longji nodded and said: "Lu Shangshu's intention is exactly what I want. A powerful force is enough to show the attitude of the Tang Dynasty. If some forces still don't know what to do, Lu Shangshu should know what to do?"
Lu Xuan said: "If you don't know what's wrong, the Andong Protectorate will immediately send troops to Korea to eliminate the trouble and ensure that Korea is far away from the war and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
Li Longji chuckled and said to Lu Xuan: "Let's do it this way. Keep a high profile. We, the Tang Dynasty, will make a big splash and send Princess Meixi of Goryeo back to our country. We will also let all the princes, ministers, and ordinary people see how big-hearted our Tang Dynasty is.
and national prestige.”
Lu Xuan understood in his heart that Li Longji was deliberately giving the country of Korea and a face to this beautiful little princess. It was unexpected and he did such a thing. Haha, your majesty is loving the house and the bird!
"Yes, your majesty is wise and powerful, and your majesty is gentle to the world. This will definitely become a good story for eternity," Lu Xuan flattered him and resigned happily.
Meixi was dumbfounded. When she saw Lu Xuan leaving, she asked in shock: "Your Majesty, how could Meixi be so virtuous? Meixi is horrified to have His Majesty make such a big move." This chapter has been completed!
