Body 829 Reluctant
As Li Hong expected, Lawless led the soldiers to knock out all the teeth of these people as soon as they caught these people, before they could react.
Otherwise, these people would not have swollen cheeks one by one at this moment, all like pigs' heads.
Lawlessness once served in the Jingwei led by Bai Chun, and naturally had a clear understanding of the suicide methods of the dead soldiers, so he was able to capture these hijackers alive one by one.
Looking at those mouths that were unable to pinch their mouths and helplessly opened their mouths without a single tooth, it inexplicably gave people a feeling of nausea and nausea.
Even Lang Qiongzhao and the others on the side couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.
"Do you admit it or do I force it?" Li Hong suddenly turned around among the kneeling hijackers, looked at the gloomy and silent Xinuluo and said.
Taken aback by Li Hong's sudden move, the unprepared Xinuluo originally thought that the prince would interrogate directly at this time, but he didn't expect that he would not interrogate him, and directly aimed the finger at himself.
Xinu Luo Wen looked at Li Hong, his eyes were calm and complicated, this time was no longer the time to quibble or deny, but how to ensure the safety of his life to the greatest extent, or the position of the head of the six edicts.
Whether it is the Langqiong Edict or the Shi Lang Edict, or the Yue Analysis Edict, they are all eyeing the head of the six edicts, and they can't allow themselves to make any mistakes.
"Yes, I ordered them to rescue the three princes of Chenla, but...... There is a bitter ...... that cannot be spoken. ”
Without waiting for Xinuluo to finish speaking calmly, Lang Qiongzhao fell into the well again and said, "Bitter? Are you eating inside and outside and still eating inside and outside and going out? You've always been good friends with Zhenla, don't you want to take this opportunity to curry favor with King Zhenla? ”
"Yes, I do have a good relationship with Zhenla, but your Langqiong Zhao has nothing to do with Zhenla? Aren't you close? Don't think I don't know, in order to deal with the relationship between me and Zhenla, you don't hesitate to betray the interests of my six edicts....... “
"It's better for me to sell the interests of the Six Edicts than for you to betray the interests of my Datang! You have always wanted to oppose my Datang and seek to unite Zhenla to establish itself as a country, and I have separated the relationship between you and Zhenla, which is also for the benefit of my Datang! Lang Qiong Zhao said confidently.
Li Hongdu, who heard this, felt a little incredible, this Langqiong edict still has such a high consciousness? Can you stand in Datang's perspective for the sake of Datang?
However, after thinking about it for a while, he understood that I am afraid that everything that Lang Qiongzhao did was taught by Lin Shiling behind it, and this thing was really used as a gun by Lin Shiling.
And just after the two began to argue again, the sound of fighting was faintly heard outside the palace at this time, and just when everyone began to prick up their ears to listen, the sound of fighting became more and more clear at this time.
He stood up from behind the desk, and the expression on his face, which had been quite calm just now, instantly became shocked and stunned.
Lao Shelong looked at Xinuluo, who stood up suddenly, and instantly guessed in his heart that the fight outside the palace was obviously done by his grandson Sheng Luoyan.
"Is it your idea or his!" Lao Shelong glanced at Li Hong, whose expression was still calm, and also stood up and looked at Xinuluo and asked.
"It's not my idea, he has coveted the position of the king of Yunnan for a long time, and Meng Yunzhao has always had a good relationship with him...... He wanted to use Sheng Luoyan to replace me. Xinuluo replied to Lao Shelong's words, but his eyes looked at Li Hong and said.
"Yunnan Governor's Mansion, if you can survive tonight's conflict, Yang Sijian will be the governor of Yunnan Governor's Mansion, and the four of you will be the deputy governor of Yunnan Prefecture." Li Hong kicked the men in black who were kneeling at his feet, signaling Lawlessness to take them out.
As for the increasingly clear sound of fighting outside, Li Hong was not nervous or worried at all, and still paced back and forth in the hall easily, waiting for the answer of the Four Emperors.
"Does the deputy governor have no rights? Is it true that in the future, the land of our six edicts will completely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and we will just hang an idle position, like a puppet, and everything will be decided by the Tang people? Lang Qiong Zhao was the first to ask in a surprising voice.
The sound of the battle outside became clearer and clearer, and even the sound of swords hitting each other could be heard clearly, but in the hall, the Four Zhao Kings and Lao Shelong, including Yang Sijian and others, no one had the heart to take care of the battle situation outside.
After all, now the prince of the Tang Dynasty has a showdown at this critical juncture, and the decisions made by himself and others next will have nothing to do with the outcome of the fight outside.
Even if it was Sheng Luoyan who rushed into the palace at that time, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were defeated, then at that time, they had to go to the four kings and Lao Shelong to block Sheng Luoyan and admit that they had agreed to the conditions of the Tang Prince.
If Datang wins, he and others will have nothing to say if they agree to the prince's conditions, but once Sheng Luoyan wins, he agrees to these conditions, which is equivalent to giving the six edicts to the prince completely.
This is a gamble, a bet made with the battle situation outside, it depends on who you guess wins and who loses, and Li Hong is also testing the four of them, whether anyone is willing to give up the right of the six edicts and completely give up the right to the Tang Dynasty.
"The land of the six edicts has been downgraded to the Governor's Mansion, my Shi Lang Zhao is now the governor of the Tonghai Governor's Mansion, and the Yue Xi Zhao is the governor of the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, Your Highness, you don't even bother to do the Ming Sheng and the Secret Descend, and you want to take the entire Six Edicts directly?" Shi Langzhao came to the prince's banquet today, thinking that the prince agreed to his request last night, no matter what earth-shaking changes happen to the six edicts, His Royal Highness must ensure that he is still the governor of the Tonghai Governor's Mansion, but now it seems that the prince's ambition is very big.
"You don't want to?" Li Hong turned around and shifted his gaze from Xinuluo to Shi Langzhao's body.
This is the case for everyone, especially those who hold absolute power in their hands, and they will have this kind of reaction.
When a decision has not yet been made, people can convince themselves in their hearts in the process of imagining, even if they are planning for the worst.
But when it comes to letting go of your rights and choices, the inexplicable reluctance will not let you be as free and easy as before.
Just like those officials in the previous life, before retiring, they can talk about it relaxed and free, but when it comes to the moment of retirement, the whole person's state of mind immediately changes, and even some officials who are obsessed with officials, after retirement, will fantasize about the rights in their hands, or ask the organization, whether they can continue to stay in their posts in other ways.
So now, whether it is the edict of Shi Lang, or the edict of Yue Xi, or the edict of Langqiong, who wants to pull down the fine slave at all costs, when faced with a sudden decision to make them choose to give up their rights, they are naturally inexplicably unwilling in their hearts.
Even on the way to the banquet, they had already prepared for the worst in their hearts, but when it really came to this moment, their mood involuntarily changed.
"Yes." There was no expression on Xinuluo's face, and his eyes were also calm and terrifying, and he suddenly said under Lao Shelong's stunned expression.
"You ......." Lang Qiongzhao didn't expect that Xinuluo would agree to give the six edicts to the Tang Dynasty: "Xinuluo, you have to think clearly, this is not the time to be rash, you have to think about it, if you are just a nominal king of Yunnan, you will lose all your value, and you will be slaughtered by the Tang Dynasty at that time." ”
Xinu Luo didn't even look at him, looked at Li Hong's tall back and said: "The minister has only one request, to leave Sheng Luoyan a chance to live, and the minister will imprison him in the mansion and never let him step out of the mansion again for the rest of his life." ”
"I don't want to!" Lang Qiongzhao looked at Li Hong in front of him, and after Xinuluo finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "What about you? Do you want to be like that cowardly fine slave, unconditionally give up our land to Datang? ”
Yue Xizhao looked at Li Hong's relaxed expression, and was a little hesitant in his heart, and the sound of the fight outside was even clearer at this time, as if it was happening around him.
Xinuluo has never been a person who makes decisions at will, even if Sheng Luoyan's army outside was not ordered by him, even if Sheng Luoyan was already forcing him to abdicate to himself, but Xinuluo, who has always been known for his ruthlessness and insidiousness, why would he agree to give the land of the Six Edicts to Datang without resistance?
Is it because he can't see Sheng Luoyan's chance of winning? Do you think that Datang is too powerful, so strong that he can't afford to resist at all, or does he have already negotiated terms with the prince and was bought by Datang?
"Minister...... The minister was willing to accept the appointment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and together with Xinuluo, he was the deputy governor of the Yunnan Governor's Office. Yue Xizhao looked at Li Hong's eyes and gradually looked at him, and immediately saluted and said.
In the process, I didn't forget to take a look at the calm face of Xinuluo, and naturally tied himself to Xinuluo in his words, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talked to him about any conditions, he now promised the same conditions as Xinuluo, and if Xinuluo can still get benefits at that time, then the prince must not be without himself.
"Two of the four edicts are unwilling, don't you want to defeat Xinuluo at any cost? Now that he is about to step down from the position of the Six Edicts, you should be happy, and you should hand over your edict to talents. Li Hong glanced outside the hall of the main hall, and the noisy footsteps became clearer and clearer at this time.
"What I said at all costs is me, not the land and the people that I professed."
"From this point of view, you have been using Lin Shiling from the beginning, hoping to help you defeat Xinuluo with the power of Datang, not really hoping to become a part of my Datang?" Li Hong's eyes gradually became sharp and cold.
