Text 195 Thieves

Loulan is not an important town, at least in Li Hong's heart, the role of Loulan is far less important than that of the four towns of Anxi, but all the Datang materials from the Central Plains after the Yumen Pass were transported to Loulan, and Li Hong distributed them from here, and then transported them to various places.

Loulan Li Hong never thought about investing a penny at all, because in his opinion, investing even a copper plate would be a waste in the end, after all, this city will disappear sooner or later, and it is not something that can be changed by manpower.

Although he has begun to protect Loulan City as much as possible, and even asked the people to protect the poplar forest, Suosuo and other trees and vegetation, the diversion of the Peacock River is still happening unconsciously.

Naturally, Li Hong couldn't pay attention to these, but let Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren, including Lou Yu, find out after a few people came to Loulan for a short time, and it was from that time that Li Hong completely gave up on Loulan.

In the early Tang Dynasty, in addition to Wang Bo, Li Hong was assigned to the four towns of Anxi one by one, and with the efforts of the first batch of students who had completed their studies in other Chongwen Pavilions, Hanyu Pinyin has now begun to slowly unfold in Anxi, and it has a great tendency to be popular.

And Li Hong's ultimate goal is naturally to let Chinese characters and Tubo appear among the people of Tubo, and even replace Tubo Chinese.

Li Hong was able to have such an idea, naturally it depended on the fact that the development time of the Tibetan script had only begun for a few decades, and the Chinese characters of the Tang Dynasty were supplemented by more easy-to-learn pinyin, and it was very likely that the Tubo script would be replaced over time.

Pei Xingjian appeared in Loulan City in a hurry, sweating on his head, looking anxious and panicked, even the token at the city gate was hurriedly presented, and without waiting for the soldiers under his command to finish the inspection, he ran into Loulan City with a burning butt.

In the Governor's Mansion, the summer solstice is hurriedly looking for ice, and now it is summer, and the temperature here during the day is already hot.

Seeing that Pei Xingjian's robe was already wet on the front and back of his robe because he was in a hurry, it was tightly glued to his body, and he hurriedly said hello and hurriedly went to find ice.

After Pei Xingjian asked Li Hong's residence clearly, he didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly walked to the back house.

Hua Meng and Mang Chong were accompanying Li Hong at this time, and standing in front of them was Dou Yi, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an City, a businessman who had relieved the siege of Li Hong and his son in Taiyi City.

"Your Highness, those goods have been sold, and they are escorted until they enter their territory."

When Pei Xingjian arrived, he heard Dou Yi reporting to Li Hong about the resale of goods and other matters. Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel heavy in my heart, and sighed helplessly.

"Most of them protect ......." Pei Xingjian looked at Li Hongcheng and ignored him, he stood for almost a cup of tea, and Li Hong always regarded him as an invisible person.

But no matter how anxious he was, Li Hong just didn't give him a chance to speak, and at this moment, he had finished discussing business with Dou Yi, and now he had begun to chatter, and the topic was naturally whether Dou Yi had married a concubine again.

But no matter how Dou Yi explained, it was his son's concubine, not his own, Li Hong didn't seem to hear it, he was still gossipy and asked, and he was almost about to start digging the ancestral grave and looking for his roots.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......." Pei Xingjian had no choice but to increase his tone and shouted helplessly.

He knew the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't treat him since the summer of this year, but the holy decree was difficult to disobey, as a courtier, he had to do his duty as a courtier.

"What are you doing again?" Li Hong glanced at him, unwilling to pay attention to him, and asked with an expression of disgust for him.

"Your Highness, you see, this is Your Majesty's holy decree, ordering you to leave for Chang'an immediately." Pei Xingjian took out two holy decrees, one of which he had shown to Li Hong when he came to Loulan a month ago, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't take it seriously, so he just didn't move to go back.

Now it is still in the Western Regions, in Loulan City, and it is a scourge on other city-states outside the entire Anxi Protectorate, such as Baiyi Dashi, Tubo, Bolu, Tocharo and other small regions.

Two days ago, he received the second holy decree from His Majesty, ordering him to immediately urge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong to return to Chang'an, so he had to brave the hot weather, hurried to Loulan, and begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Chang'an quickly.

Li Hong looked indifferent, looked at Pei Xingjian, and said lazily: "Are you impatient with me in Loulan?" I didn't get in your way, or do you think that the four towns of Anxi are now stable, so unload the mill and kill the donkey, and let me go back quickly? ”

"Your Highness, where do you dare to drive you out of here, this is ...... This...... Isn't this a decree from His Majesty? I wish you could stay here. Pei Xingjian had to say words against his will, if it wasn't for His Majesty's order, he would have planned to play and see if he could invite His Highness back.

Pei Xingjian now really and empathetically feels what it means to invite God and send God, and he also understands the depression and helplessness of countries such as Baiyi Dashi and Tubo better.

Guarding such an ancestor here, occupying the main road to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, as long as the goods going to Baiyi Dashi or Tubo and other countries were all seized by him in Loulan, and then asked the family to pay taxes and pay any road and bridge tolls.

The degree of shamelessness is great: I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and if I want to cross this road, I will leave the robber who buys the road wealth.

No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already done this now, and Quan Yi, the general of the Left Guard, under his command, has been cruising in the desert during this time, or cruising in the middle of Khotan, Shule, pretending to be a robber to rob the goods of white-clothed food, Tibet and other countries.

And the most annoying thing is that after grabbing the goods, they also let the family spend money to redeem them, and if they don't want to redeem them, they will give them to Dou Yi, and then Dou Yi will find a seller and sell the goods.

Otherwise, it is to secretly throw it at the gate of Khotan or Shule, don't want it, sponsor it for free to the people in the city, and in the past two months, the people of Khotan and Shule have been guarding the city gate every day before dawn, waiting for the moment when the city gate is opened, so that they can go outside to pick up the goods.

"Don't bother with that decree, if you like it, I've got a lot more here." After finishing speaking, Li Hong threw eleven holy decrees in front of him at once in Pei Xingjian's stunned eyes.

Pei Xingjian was shocked and was about to go out of his body, and took a holy decree in his hand, only to see that it was the holy decree that His Majesty ordered him to return to Chang'an.

Eleven holy decrees, to sum up, hurry up and get me back, the Western Regions has made you toss for more than a year!

The envoys of various countries impeached him, and the snowflakes fell on Li Zhi's table.

Pei Xingjian was holding the eleven holy decrees, this time he was completely stupid, his two holy decrees already felt like a knife on his neck, and he had a cold sense of urgency.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being His Royal Highness the Prince, that is, he is strong, and the eleven holy decrees have been ignored by him so much, and he doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking at this moment, who is deep in Chang'an City.

"I'll clean him up sooner or later, I don't believe you show me!" Li Zhi was holding a thick pile of folds in his hand, and he handed them over through Honglu Temple, and he didn't need to look at them, all of them were to impeach Li Hong.

Wu Mei looked at the fold in her hand, but her mouth burst out with laughter, and now the Western Regions will be called obedient if it is not a miasma, chickens and dogs jumping.

The little idiot has been in the Western Regions for a year and a half, almost two years, and has become a scourge of the Western Regions completely.

And this stack of bullets impeached him was nothing more than because Li Hong not only robbed them of the goods they bought from Datang and sent them back to their country, but also robbed the local goods they brought when they came, but fortunately, he also left them money and let them go to Chang'an to buy Datang's goods.

However, all this is the suspicion of the white-clothed big food, Tubo and a few small countries, because no one has conclusive evidence in their hands to prove that the Dadu Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate instructed his subordinates to do it.

But all the clues point to the Dadu Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate!

Even Tubo and the white-clothed Dashi sent envoys to Anxi to negotiate with the Anxi Protector of the Metropolitan Protectorate, hoping that Datang could crack down on the thieves in the desert, but each time the Metropolitan Protector refused on the grounds that he had no money.

If you want to fight thieves in the desert, you can also fight thieves, each of you will contribute a little money, and we will fight the thieves together.

At first, whether it was Tubo or white-clothed food, they really believed it, and each family gave Anxi Dadu a lot of silver, and then made an appointment to gather in Khotan and enter the desert to fight thieves together.

But when a month passed, only the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty came out intact, and all the men and horses were wiped out.

Anxi Dadu Hu had palpitations on his face, and sighed: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise, I would have been killed by everyone." ”

"What's in the desert?"

"A crocodile that grows so big that it can swallow a camel in one bite."

“……。”

Since then, various countries have blacklisted the Dadu Hu of the Tang Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and they have not interacted with each other, and even put the name of the Dadu Protector with terms such as shameless people.

Wu Mei smiled while watching, as if the young man with a ponytail and a skateboard speeding through the palace appeared in front of her again.

"You're still laughing! Datang's face was lost by him! The great Tang Dynasty Huanghuang Tianwei and my first reputation will be ruined sooner or later in the hands of that little idiot! Wait, wait for him to come back and see how I clean him up! I have to let him know how good I am this time! Li Zhi's eyes were on fire, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Then you can give an order, and give an order to let him return to Chang'an."

"It's ordered."

"How many are you?"

"Hmm...... Eleven ways. ”

"Are you back?"

“…… No. ”

"Alas...... That is, the influence of the Anxi Protectorate has never been as important as it is today since the reign of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the four towns of Anxi are in an important period of reconstruction, if you really call him back, then who do you plan to hand over to the four towns of Anxi that he built single-handedly? If he hadn't provided Pei Xingjian with all the necessary materials in the back, would Ashina Duzhi be suppressed so quickly? Wu Mei's beautiful and gentle eyes stared at the big tree that was planted in front of her palace in Taiji Palace, and later Daming Palace was completed, and was secretly moved by the little idiot, she was at the gate of Penglai Hall in Daming Palace, and asked.
