Chapter 292: Rise (Three)

Taking everyone away, Li Ming sat there in deep thought. He thought that after destroying the 150,000 troops in front of him, Li Qing was no longer a threat to him, but he did not expect that Li Qing had thought so far and established contact with the Great Su Kingdom a year ago. Strictly speaking, the Soviet Kingdom, like the Great Zhou Kingdom, were separated from the Tang Dynasty. It turned out that they were all in the Tang Dynasty, but now it has become incompatible.

Li Ming had no idea about the Da Su country. In fact, it was not just him. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty had a very vague understanding of the Da Su land, and even Yuchi Xiong could not give any exact information. People only knew that it was a barbaric land, a place where insects and wild beasts appeared. The people there were also very barbaric, but they had never had accurate information.

When Li Ming was regent, he tried to learn about this mysterious neighbor. However, after searching all the information, he found nothing. He only knew that the Great Su Kingdom was located in the south of the Tang Dynasty and belonged to that kind of subtropical country. The climate was humid and densely covered with jungles, which was a bit similar to Linzhou. The border between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Su Kingdom was blocked by the endless and shrubs and rainforests. The place where the Southern Dian Prefecture was located happened to be a relatively sparse place. From historical materials, Li Ming learned that this place originally had a wide road, which was connected to the interior of the Great Su Kingdom through this primitive dense forest. However, after the independence of the Great Su Kingdom, the road gradually became deserted, especially in the past century, there has never been a large-scale war between the two countries. In this place, the soldiers on both sides had a skill to hide and appear in the primitive dense forest. Therefore, the conflict between the two countries was limited to sneak attacks and anti-sneaking attacks.

Now, according to various information, Li Qing is likely to flee directly to the Great Su Kingdom after the defeat in Yuzhou. With his decisiveness and courage, he will definitely choose this path. However, this leaves a hidden danger for Li Ming. He knows the consequences of not eliminating the roots. As long as Li Qing is there, he may fight back from the Great Su Kingdom. With Li Qing's ability and Liu Zhang's assistance, it should not be difficult to seek help in the Great Su Kingdom, especially the Tang Dynasty is currently in war. Under Liu Zhang's words, it is difficult for the people of the Great Su Kingdom to resist this temptation to advance into the prosperous land of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Ming should now consider how to deal with the invasion of the Great Su Kingdom, after all, the Tang Dynasty has become his Tang Dynasty.

After finding several staff officers and generals who accompanied the army, a group of people planned in the tent for two or three hours, Li Ming found Yi Yi.

"Send a message to Wang Wen, so that he can break through Nanzhou as soon as possible and contact the defenders of the Southern Dian Prefecture. Then, you ask Xiao Fugui to draw an imperial edict of 800 miles and quickly deliver it to Wang Wen, so as not to have any misunderstandings with the defenders of the Southern Dian Prefecture at that time. Tell Wang Wen that the troops will be stationed on the spot after they arrive in Nan Dian Prefecture to prevent the troops of the Great Soviet State from sneak attacks. At the same time, let him send a standard equipment for the army to report to me after arriving in Nan Dian Prefecture."

"The command force, after a short rest in the evening, the entire army will set out towards Nanguocheng. We will march urgently from tomorrow to strive to enter Nanguocheng in three days, and send a report to Zhang Meng and Yuchi Xiong at any time, so that they can meet with us as soon as possible."

Yi Yi made detailed records and asked Li Ming to sign and go out to arrange the task. Li Ming stood up and walked outside, enjoying the slightly cool breeze of late autumn. He turned around and saw Li Song sitting on a recliner, closing his eyes to bask in the sun, so he walked over.

"How is your health recently? It depends on your complexion getting better." Li Ming's words made Li Song open his eyes, and when he saw Li Ming coming, he hurriedly stood up.

"Brother has recovered a lot, and now he can get up by himself." Walking in front of Li Song, Li Ming sat down on the chair with the little yellow door panel next to him, and smiled at Li Song.

"It's not my brother's treatment, I'm afraid I've already gone to see all the ancestors." Although Li Song was still resentful of the fact that he gave up the throne, he saved his life after all, so he still seemed to accept his fate at this time.

"We will set out tomorrow and strive to enter Nanguo City in three days. By then, you can return to the imperial city to rest. I have decided that the original palace will be changed to the Supreme Palace and will still be for you to live in. I can just live in my original palace. You know, and I don't care much about this."

Li Song's tears suddenly popped up. He looked at Li Ming, trembling his lips, and cried, "I really didn't expect that the day I would return to the palace. When I was seriously ill, I thought I would be ruined here in this life. At that time, I really missed everything in the palace. At that time, I prayed to the sky. If I let me return to the imperial city alive, I would rather give everything I had. Unexpectedly, God really agreed to my request. Li Ming, thank you brother first." When he said this, he cried.

Li Ming looked at Li Song with a smile, took the towel handed over by Xiaohuangmen and wiped his tears. He knew that the estrogens he gave him at the beginning still gave Li Song a great side effect in character and physiology. In addition, Li Song's own experience really made him feel sad, so he was not surprised by Li Song's crying and cowardice.

After Li Song's excitement calmed down slightly, Li Ming smiled and said, "Brother, don't be too excited. This is not good for your health. Don't worry, if you have brothers here, your health will be guaranteed. I promise to do my best to relieve your condition."

Li Song nodded with gratitude and burst into tears and said with a smile: "With you here, I have nothing to worry about. Brother, I understand everything you have done for me, but I still have a wish in my heart. I still hope you can share my worries." When he said this, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Li Ming looked at Li Song strangely and said, "Brother, if you have anything to do, you will be satisfied as long as I can do it." Li Ming is a person who values ​​feelings. Since Li Song has handed over the throne to him, he has decided to treat Li Song well. This is a kind of brotherly relationship and also an exchange.

"Brother, I'm sorry for my father." Li Song said this, which made Li Ming even more curious and asked hurriedly: "Brother, please tell me what's the matter? I've said it, and I will never refuse if I can do it."

"What you said is true? Brother, you are the king of a country now. You say something in every way. Don't regret it when the time comes." Li Song immediately grabbed Li Ming's words, making Li Ming feel like he fell into a trap.

"Brother, when my father was alive, the little sister he loved the most..."

As Li Song said this, Li Ming jumped up as if he was sitting on a fire. While running towards his tent, he said, "Brother, I suddenly remembered that there are important things. I'll do it first..." Before he finished speaking, he entered his tent at a speed of 100 meters.

Li Ming felt an instinctive fear in his heart. Maybe he had never met such a powerful woman. Princess Changle's gloomy heart and changeable personality made Li Ming unable to accept it at all. She wanted to marry Li Ming for a deal of rights. Li Ming was most disgusted with this. Today, I heard Li Song mention her name and let Li Ming jump up and run away instinctively. He knew what Li Song meant. For Princess Changle, there was no more suitable husband than Li Ming. Therefore, he stood up and ran away desperately. He must not let Li Song say this, otherwise he would not be able to refuse.

Unexpectedly, after he escaped into the tent, Li Song followed him in. With the help of Xiaohuangmen, he was not slow. Li Ming was so scared that he jumped up and was about to run out, but Li Song stopped him in time: "Brother! Can't you listen to me finish your words?"

Li Ming stopped and smiled bitterly: "Brother, I'm going to set out tomorrow. I have a lot of things to be busy with."

"Then you have to listen to me finish your words! Otherwise, I will always follow you, and you will not watch my body be dragged down by you."

Li Ming turned around helplessly and looked at Li Song and said, "Brother, I will first declare that everything else is easy to discuss, but if you want me to marry Princess Changle, it will definitely not work."

Li Song's words suddenly stuck when he reached his mouth. He looked at Li Ming in surprise and asked repeatedly: "Why! Isn't my little sister beautiful? I think she is comparable to your Yaoer. Brother, you are the king of the country now, and the three palaces and six courtyards don't care about the little sister. I promise that I won't force you to make her the queen. You have to understand my mood. I just want to find a good home for my little sister. Beyond you in this world, I can't think of anyone who is as compatible with her."

"Brother, I'll say it again, this is impossible!" Li Ming sat helplessly in front of Li Song, looking at him and said sincerely: "Brother, you are the most generous among the four children of the late emperor, but you are also the least scheming. Princess Changle is not as simple as you imagined. In fact, his scheming is even better than Li Qing!"

Li Song sighed lightly and said, "Actually, I know everything you said. Didn't you know it when you treated the last emperor? She knew your identity but deliberately concealed your whereabouts. Since then, I have proposed to my relatives. But you have to know that I only have such a sister in this life, and she doesn't take it, but I can't be unrighteous. After all, she is still my sister. If I don't care about her life's great affairs, she will have to spend her life alone. Li Ming, I don't ask you to be nice to her, but at least give her a home. This is the only thing my brother can do for her. You promised me, and from now on I will not owe her anymore. Brother, promise brother." At this point, tears in Li Song's eyes were about to come out.

Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Li Song for a while, and then said, "Brother, I won't hide it from you now. You may not know that when I was the Regent of the Imperial City, Princess Changle had found me alone. Do you know why? She wants to marry me!"

"Isn't that good?" Li Song obviously didn't know what happened at that time. Hearing Li Ming say this, he interrupted happily.

"Very good? She has the conditions to marry me. She wants me to assist her ascend the throne! Are you still saying it's good now?" Li Ming's heart still did not reach the level of ruthlessness, so he didn't want to tell Li Song the truth, but now, he has to break the beautiful brother-sister relationship in Li Song's heart.

"The throne? Why did she ascend the throne? I was there at that time?" Li Songyi didn't react, muttered twice, and suddenly jumped up and shouted: "She wants the throne? What do you mean is that she wants you to help her overthrow me and then let him ascend the throne! She wants to be the queen?" Li Song was almost unconscious. He never expected that the young girl who looked weak on weekdays would have such ambition. The ancestral system in the Tang Dynasty was not allowed to participate in politics, but he did not expect that this young girl actually wanted to be the emperor.

"Now do you know why I refuse?" Li Ming smiled bitterly and looked at the lost Li Song and said, "Princess Changle's scheming was cultivated since childhood. I know her growth experience better than you, so don't expect her to change. If she is allowed to enter my harem, she doesn't know what trouble she will make. In addition, you may not know that Princess Changle, who looks weak, is actually a master with very good martial arts skills. If I fall into her hands, I really want to die. So brother, don't mention this matter, and don't have sympathy for her. Now in the court.

Although there are all ministers who are in control, as the Imperial Guard in the middle of the defense, it will definitely give Princess Changle who stays in the imperial city a chance. Why am I so anxious to return to the imperial city is to prevent the night of long dreams? When my elder brother was the emperor, Princess Changle did not dare to make any moves openly. After all, she is just a eldest princess, but now it is different. You abdicated the throne to me, which gives her an excuse. I am not a member of the Li family royal family, and it will definitely make some old ministers dissatisfied. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I think she may have taken action."

Li Song couldn't help but be shocked and said, "What you said is true? It's really possible to say so, why don't you leave quickly? If not, let a team of imperial guards set out in advance, and let them go to the imperial city to guard first to prevent this from happening."

Li Ming laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. I've arranged this matter well. Everything is in my control. You'd better go back and take a break. The violent movement just now is not good for your health. If you don't make a good deal, your old illness will recur."

Li Song nodded, stood up with the help of the little yellow gate, and said, "Since you have made arrangements, I won't worry about it anymore. But brothers, although my younger sister is ambitious, she is one of my favorite relatives after all, so if you catch her, spare her life. It's just that she's putting her in the palace under house arrest for life. This is a request from my brother."

"Brother, don't worry, I will do what you said." Li Ming thought of his promise while sending Li Song out.

In fact, Li Ming did not make any arrangements in the imperial city. His purpose was to make Princess Changle jump out on his own initiative.

Princess Changle's ambition and the power behind her have always been Li Ming's confidant. However, even a powerful intelligence agency like Li Ming cannot fully grasp the intelligence of her power. In the imperial city, except for the monks Li Ming saw, no other personnel under Princess Changle were found. However, Li Ming believes that with Princess Changle's ambition, she would never have only such a few subordinates. Most of the personnel must be deeply hidden in the corner that Li Ming didn't know. Since Li Ming returned from modern society,

In addition to investigating Li Song's information in the imperial city, Princess Changle's power was also within his focus of investigation, but he had no choice but to use the entire imperial city's members of the Medical God Cult and the spies from Linjiazhuang, and he could not make any progress. This has always been a big trouble for Li Ming. Now that Li Ming has taken over the throne, Princess Changle's threat is even greater. No matter what, Li Ming is not a descendant of the royal family. Princess Changle has reason and has this appeal to oppose herself. After all, she is not like Qing and Li Jiao. She has no fault in showing her to the world, so she is also Li Ming's biggest threat.

For this reason, after taking over the throne, Li Ming did not increase the defense and military strength of Nanguo City, but instead rectified the army in this place and eliminated Li Qing's remnants in order to give Princess Changle enough time. He wanted Princess Changle to emerge and expose her power by herself, so that she could lay the foundation for eliminating hidden dangers in the future.

Li Ming was not worried that Princess Changle would occupy Nanguo City. Now, after Li Ming's efforts, almost all the acropolis around Nanguo City are in the hands of the Medical God Cult. Nanguo City, which has lost the acropolis, can only be a tiger with teeth missing, and there is no threat to Li Ming. As long as Li Ming is willing, he can capture Nanguo City again at any time. Because of this reason, Li Ming was relieved to let Princess Changle make trouble there.

According to his information, since he ascended the throne, various forces in the imperial city have surged, including the hidden power of Princess Changle and the loyal people who were loyal to Li Qing and Li Jiao back then. Of course, it is not ruled out that many officials in the court who wanted to take the opportunity to rise. After Ming ascended the throne, all the officials who came to congratulate the emperor returned, but their reactions were different after returning. The officials who went up to the original imperial guards naturally supported Li Ming, but the officials left behind were not so honest. According to the tips obtained by Li Ming, most of the officials were pulled away by Princess Changle. At this time, a disturbing aura surged everywhere in Nanguo City, like a powder barrel, about to break out.

It was under such circumstances that Li Ming decided to move his troops back to the city. He didn't have much time. He couldn't wait until Princess Changle took the initiative to go back to put her down. He had to take the initiative to force Princess Changle to act in advance. For this reason, the news that he decided to return to the imperial city had now spread throughout the streets and alleys of Nanguo City.
