Chapter 196 Conspiracy Theory

The situation in Hebei Road was almost the same as Li Ling expected. Since returning, the Uighurs have stopped moving and mobilized all the tribes that remained by them to the surroundings of the royal court, which is much more cautious than before.

The tribes that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty began to build their new home under the leadership of the Tongluo tribe and the Pugu tribe.

Xu Yuan, following Li Yan's previous instructions, helped Tongluo and Pugu tribe build a business road through Youzhou to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.

This is something that the tribes in Hebei and the north rely on very much. According to Li Neng, even if they don’t want anything else, the war horses must be traded to the Tang Dynasty on time.

Especially when dealing with these alien tribes, Li Yan had long seen that no military branch is better than cavalry. Building a cavalry team that can fight tough battles is definitely the most important thing that the Tang Dynasty should do.

Apart from this, Li Qing had no concern. Generals and officials had been sent to all cities in Hebei Road. Li Qing did not want to interfere in the matters of too small, so he left them all to Xu Yuan.

Although it seems that there is no interest in handling the affairs of Hebei Road, Li Yong's complexion looks good, which makes Xu Yuan, Zhang Xun and others very relieved.

After dealing with the matter of Hebei Road, Li Neng summoned Zhang Xun and four others and Chen Zhibao to his mansion.

When everyone arrived, Zhang Mingyue had already prepared a banquet in the mansion. When everyone saw this situation, they could only let go of a big stone in their hearts. After all, if Li Yan had this idea, it basically means that he didn't care about the prince.

"Everyone, I should have celebrated the achievements of the battle with the Uighurs before. It has been delayed until today. It is my negligence. I will punish myself first!"

After the opening remarks, Li Qing directly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one go. After everyone watched it, they all followed.

After three rounds of drinking, the few people who could have been able to control themselves and didn't talk about the prince could not control them at that time. They all began to complain that Li Heng was not aware of people and listened to Li Mi by his side for everything. Li Wen's ability was much better than Li Yu, but he turned a blind eye in Tai Chi Palace and was not a wise ruler at all.

At the beginning, the few people said this and saw if Li Neng showed any unhappy performance, but Li Neng seemed to have not seen it, which made the few people more courageous.

"You guys really think this is the case?"

Suddenly, Li Qing, who had never been involved in this topic, said this, which scared the few people.

"Not bad! Although I have never fought with King Guangping, I just don't believe that he can have the ability of a prince. If he had to deal with the complex situation in Hebei Road, he might be like what he is now!"

Chen Zhibao was the first to speak. Although he was the one who followed Li Qing for the shortest time among the few people, he was the one who dared to speak the most.

"Leopard! You should know that whether it is a prince or an emperor, it is not enough to be able to fight well. The talent required to govern a dynasty is different from the next dynasty."

Li Qing didn't say anything else, but just popularized the self-cultivation of an emperor with Chen Zhibao.

Because Chen Zhibao was a military general, of course he had never studied how to become a good emperor, so after hearing Li Wen's words, he could only frown and say nothing.

"Mr. Prince, although you haven't stayed for too long, what is the matter that is not the people and soldiers of my Tang Dynasty first? Isn't this the world governing the world, right? Isn't it just that you have such a mind? The prince has such ability and such a mind. What is worse than the status of an emperor's eldest son."

Zhang Xun was a serious Jinshi, and he and Xu Yuan had read the most sages. Combined with Li Nian's previous performance, he was definitely aware of it.

"It's over, so let's not talk about this. I have some confidence in one thing, that is, my brother will not be jealous of me. If you don't say anything else, have you not realized that the current level of the Tang Dynasty is far from reassurance to the officials and Your Majesty in Chang'an City?"

It was not until Li Neng said this and had no intention of joking that everyone finally realized what Li Neng wanted to summon them this time. Li Neng's mind was no longer on the position of the prince, but on the country of the Tang Dynasty.

"What does the prince mean?"

After Li Neng's words, everyone's eyes focused on Li Neng. Obviously, they had probably heard something.

"This is the result of my time asking Mou En to investigate some things, and the letters Li Guangbi has given me. You can read them first."

Li Neng took out a few pieces of paper from his body and threw it on the table. Zhang Xun and others picked up one piece and looked carefully.

"What? The reason why Mou Yu Khan attacked my Hebei Road so resolutely was not only encouraged by Shi Siming?"

"The people of Nanzhao are about to use troops to the southern border of the Tang Dynasty? Someone from Jiannandao led his army to surrender to Nanzhao? Do you want to conquer Jiannandao with them?"

Among these letters, these two news surprised everyone the most. This was a completely argument they had never heard of before. If this was true, at least Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan knew that the matter here would not be that simple.

The few people woke up halfway through drinking at that time, and after watching it, they all focused on Li Qing.

"What? I was surprised? Actually, after fighting with Khan Mou Yu, I was worried. With Khan Mou Yu's ability, I would never have sent troops as soon as Shi Siming fooled him. As a result, after a slight investigation, I was indeed encouraged by other tribes. If this king expected it was good, the one who instigated him should be the Tubo people!"

"What, the Tubo people? They are eyeing Hexi, why do they want to get involved in the Hebei Road?"

Nan Jiyun obviously had no idea about the Tubo people's practice of taking off their pants and farting.

"I'm afraid this is the wise nature of the Tubo people. When fighting with the Uighurs, the soldiers of Hebei Road would not have any losses at all. On the contrary, they would have lost more than when they attacked Hebei Road before. Once the Nanzhao people invaded Jiannan Road and the surrounding prefectures and counties, with Li Guangbi's troops, even if they were defended, there would not be many troops left. In this way, you should tell me who did the wedding dresses for these battles?"
