Tibet

Chapter 561 Abstaining from Negotiations
Chang'an, on the rooftop of Tai Chi Palace, Emperor Li Longji followed Yuan Siyi into the gate with gloomy eyes. Feilong wanted to see him and talk to him, and was already waiting for him on the top of the rooftop.

Li Longji was very reluctant. Although Feilong was nominally his father, in Li Longji's heart, his father died in the fourth year of Kaiyuan. Feilong had become a monk and was no longer his father.

But Li Longji was afraid of the flying dragon from the bottom of his heart. The flying dragon had magic powers and could peek into what would happen in the future.

After walking up to the nine-story building, Feilong sat in front of his desk expressionlessly under the starry sky. The disappearance of his wealth was a huge blow to him. He could no longer maintain his army, and Feilong was a little discouraged.

Li Longji climbed nine floors, and it was really hard. He reluctantly walked up to the rooftop. A dark figure followed Li Longji. It was the personal guard Gongsun Auntie. It was she who helped Li Longji up to the high platform. Otherwise, with Li Longji's physical strength, he would not be able to climb up to the rooftop. There is no way to go up to the nine-story platform.

"Please sit down!"

Feilong waved his hand, and Li Longji took a deep look at him and sat down opposite Feilong.

Feilong glanced at Aunt Gongsun and said, "Step back! I won't hurt your master."

Aunt Gongsun did not move, Li Longji nodded to her, and then Aunt Gongsun stepped back. She was still standing in the distance, monitoring every move here.

Feilong smiled slightly and said: "I'm not dead, you should have guessed it!"

Li Longji said coldly: "You have died several times, and it is probably the same this time."

Feilong pointed at the night sky, "My star is the seventh star of Ziwei. It is already very sad. I am already over ninety years old. Even if I have the skills to practice Taoism, I will still have one or two years at most. Don't always think that I still have any interest in the throne." Interested, all I have been thinking about in the past few years is how to attain enlightenment and ascend."

Li Longji's tone was very cold, "In that case, you just need to practice well in Xuandu Temple. Why do you come to me?"

"I'm here to tell you a few things, related to your throne."

Li Longji twisted his body a little, and he became interested.

Feilong squinted his eyes and saw through Li Longji's thoughts. He said slowly: "The first is the prince. As the saying goes, a son inherits his father's business. He will definitely follow in your footsteps. Whether you want it or not, you will be forced to become the emperor. , I will grow old alone."

Li Longji nodded. He had long seen that the prince was a ruthless and indifferent person. If he took away power, how would he be able to live a good life of his own?

"and then?"

"Then there is Li Ye. This man has the appearance of an emperor. You must get rid of him. If you keep him, he will be a big problem."

Li Longji sneered and said sarcastically: "He is your chosen successor!"

Feilong said slowly: "At that time, I observed the sky at night and found that the stars were quite strong, and there were signs of taking the purple light and entering Zhonghuan. In the northeast, there were alien stars shining in the Bull Constellation. That was the emperor's appearance in Anlu Mountain. I I think Li Ye is also a member of the clan. It is better to let him ascend the throne than to be usurped by An Lushan. At least the Tang Dynasty can still maintain it. But I found that this person is a member of the clan, but his heart is not that of the royal family. If he gets the throne, he will kill you and me. descendants, so get rid of him while his emperor status is not yet stable."

"Will An Lushan ascend the throne?"

"Definitely. If he takes Luoyang, he will surely ascend the throne and name his country Yan."

"It means that the Tang army cannot defend Luoyang?" Li Longji asked anxiously.

Feilong nodded, "This is God's will. I watched the sky at night. The alien star is no longer in the northeast. It has settled over the Central Plains and formed a new Ziwei Palace. This is a sign that he will ascend the throne in the Central Plains."

Li Longji hesitated for a moment and said: "Is it possible to put an end to An Lushan's rebellion?"

"Of course, the main pillar of destruction is Shuofang."

"An Sishun?"

Feilong shook his head, "How could it be him? To put an end to the Hu rebellion, only the Han people can do it. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, these two can protect your country."

After a pause, Feilong said again: "There is also Gao Xianzhi. If you can trust him, you can let him guard Tongguan. He has the ability to protect Tongguan." "Let me think about it!"

Feilong took out a gold medal and put it on the table, "This is the [-] troops from Heyang in Tongzhou. With the gold medal, you can mobilize troops. I will leave these [-] troops to you."

Li Longji was stunned. Did Feilong really not fight for the throne?
Feilong said calmly: "As I said just now, I am over ninety years old, have accomplished Taoism, and am still one step away from ascending to immortality. I no longer have the slightest interest in ordinary things like being an emperor.

I came to you just to reveal the secret to you one last time, and I won't say it again in the future. "

After saying that, Feilong stood up and walked away slowly. When he reached the door, Feilong stopped again and said, "Send all your sons out! It is unwise to let Li Dai take charge of Shannan East Road. It is laying the foundation for Li Ye. I That being said, you can take care of yourself!"

After the flying dragon left, Li Longji looked up at the stars in the sky. He suddenly understood that the only thing in this world that is more attractive than the throne is becoming an immortal.

That night, Li Longji issued an order to the kings to go to various places to take control of the military and control the local areas.

At the same time, the decree was issued to appoint Rong Wang Li Wan as the capital marshal and Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal. The two led an army of [-] to send troops to Shaanzhou to meet Luoyang.

He also secretly ordered Rong Wang Li Wan to receive the [-] troops from Heyang in Tongzhou.

The last decree was to change the title of King Li Huan of Ji to the title of King of Xiang, and order him to sit in Xiangyang and command the army and horses of Jing and Xiang. This actually deprived Li Dai of his military power as an envoy.

Li Longji completely followed Feilong's advice.

In Dugu Mansion, Dugu Lie was about to rest. A maid hurriedly walked to the door and said: "Master, the second master has something urgent to see you!"

Dugu Lie didn't know what happened, so he nodded, "Ask him to wait for me in the study outside, I'll be right away!"

Dugulie put on his coat and gauze hat and came to the outer study room.

Dugu Ming was seen pacing the room anxiously, and Dugu Lie smiled and said, "It's so late, what else happened?"

Dugu Ming sighed and said, "Tonight, the emperor secretly met Fei Long on the rooftop of Tai Chi Palace."

"and then?"

"Then Feilong made a series of suggestions to the emperor. One of them was to change the title of King Li Huan of Ji to King Xiang, let him sit in Xiangyang and control the military power of Shannan East Road. In fact, it deprived Li Dai of his military power."

Dugu Lie frowned, "Li Ye has been working hard for a long time, isn't he just making wedding clothes for Li Huan?"

Dugu Ming said: "This news must be informed to Li Ye as soon as possible so that he can prepare countermeasures."

"But Li Ye is still in Hexi!"

Dugu Ming shook his head, "Brother, you underestimate your son-in-law too much. I just received an express message from Duguqiao in Yangzhou. Li Ye had already captured Raofengguan three days ago and headed to Xiangyang. It is estimated that he has arrived now. .”

Dugu Lie was shocked, "How did he get to Hanzhong?"

"I just looked at the map. He should have taken the Lianyun Ancient Road from Chengzhou into Hanzhong, and then crossed Hanzhong. This way he would not alert the court, and the emperor would have no chance to take action against him."

Dugu Lie nodded, "Send someone to Xiangyang immediately to inform Li Ye!"

After a pause, Dugu Lie said again: "Raise troops for a thousand days, and use them for a while. Feilong will probably deal with him. He has no one who can't do it. Let's give him half of the Hidden Wings."
