Chapter 60

What made Muragu most frightened was not what Li Longji said about the Tang Dynasty's large-scale military service, nor did he allow the Persian royal family to return to his hometown of Persia, but "Khorasan is not peaceful now."

Now Khorasan, the former land of Persia, is in full swing, making the Arab Empire in a mess. The Arab Empire once wanted to give up Persia. If Yusuf had not been the governor of the East and had used bloody iron fist to quell the rebellion of Persia.

If the Tang Dynasty knew about this, God would know what to do, and that would put the Arab Empire in a passive position.

"This..." Muragu was very brave, and was actually sweating on his forehead by Li Longji's words. The ministers saw it and were very surprised.

"Yes." Wu Zetian's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly, as if he had some enlightenment.

"Your one-eyed dragon governor is running around, right?" Li Longji's words had already made Muragu frightened. However, Li Longji's words followed made Muragu even more scared.

Li Longji said that was right. Yousuf was running around now and suppressing the rebellion everywhere, which hit Muragu's pain point.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Muragu jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on and shouted at Li Longji: "Don't insult the wise and great governor."

"There is a blind wise and great governor?" Li Longji not only did not shut up, but instead shouted even more happily, saying, "If I stood in front of your one-eyed governor, would he be ashamed to wipe his neck? I am handsome and extraordinary."

"Huh! Huh! Huh!" Mulagu pointed at Li Longji, so angry that he didn't say anything, only breathing heavily.

Yusuf was the most legendary, talented, accomplished and cruel governor of the East in the history of the Arab Empire. However, he was disabled and blinded.

However, this person is smart and capable, and has extraordinary talent. In the eyes of his subordinates, he is wise and great, comparable to the Caliph Malik and the prophet. Li Longji openly insulted Yousuf, and Muragu did not fight for Li Longji, so he was very restrained.

"Your Majesty, we should follow their actions and support the people of Khorasan who oppose the great food, and give them weapons, armor, money and food." Li Longji greeted Wu Zetian and said loudly.

"Accurate!" Wu Zetian focused heavily.

If a large-scale rebellion occurred in Khorasan, it would be a good opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. If it was not used for use, it would not be Wu Zetian.

"No." Muragu screamed, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and his face turned pale.

"Those Manicheans do not believe in your prophets, and hate your prophets to the core. They would rather die than believe in Allah. If we receive our support, what kind of changes will happen to Khorasan?" Li Longji jokingly said.

Manichaeism is the state religion of the Persian Empire. It has existed for hundreds of years, is deeply rooted and has many believers. It can be said that almost all Persians are Manichaeists. Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire in the Arab Empire’s military promotion of the Essiran religion?

These Manichaeists hated Yi Silan to the core. If they received support from the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely carry out a more violent rebellion, which would make Khurasan even more unstable.

"How do you know so clearly?" Mulagu's face turned pale and he looked at Li Longji curiously.

This is a top secret for the large-scale rebellion in Khurashan. Few people in the Tang Dynasty knew about it, but Li Longji knew it clearly, and Muragu was not curious.

"Yes." Not only Muragu was curious, but Wu Zetian and a group of ministers, who was not curious?

Even they didn't know, but Li Longji knew. Who wouldn't be curious?

"I am a 'Tang fan', how can I not know?" Li Longji said in his heart.

As long as they are fans of Tang, who doesn’t know Yousuf? Who doesn’t know the Battle of Henglus? Who doesn’t know that the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought bloody rivers in Central Asia and corpses piled up like mountains?

Time Traveler Niu B doesn’t explain!

"It's nothing, I asked the businessman." Of course, Li Longji would not say that he was a time traveler, so he made an excuse.

"The King of Chu is so serious, he is as careful as his hair." Di Renjie exclaimed very much.

"Okay!" Wu Zetian was very pleased.

It is amazing that Li Longji was able to find out the news from the merchants.

"Your Majesty, I think we should take two strategies: one is to support the weapons, armor, money and food of the Persian people, and the other is to order the Western Regions Protectorate to prepare. When the time is right, we will immediately send troops to the former Persian land." Li Longji submitted a memorial to Wu Zetian.

"Okay!" The ministers agreed with this.

"Well said." Wu Zetian agreed with this from the bottom of his heart, glanced at Muragu, and said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to get along well with Dashi, but Dashi became more and more powerful. First, it disturbed the vassal states of Dazhou, and now he sent someone to the gods to promote it. If it is not punished, how can it demonstrate the majesty of the Celestial Empire?"

"Come here, I will send an order to the Western Regions Protectorate..." Wu Zetian's eyes shone brightly.

"Stop it." The cold sweat on Muragu's forehead flowed, his face turned pale, and he was very frightened, and he said, "Your Majesty, wait."

Li Longji's two suggestions hit the key points of the Arab Empire. Who can not be afraid? Not to mention Muragu, even their fierce and cruel one-eyed dragon governor would be frightened here.

"Do you have something to say?" Wu Zetian looked at Muragu coldly and asked.

"Your Majesty, you've just been jokes, just jokes." Muragu didn't want to say this, and he had to say this when he was in such a relationship.

Speaking like this is like giving in and losing all your face.

"Just?" Wu Zetian sneered: "I am the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, and you have no jokes."

"Your Majesty, I came with sincerity, for the sake of friendship between the two countries." Muragu's forehead was filled with cold sweat and said anxiously: "If the two countries can get along well with each other, my country will no longer disturb your vassal states."

The Arab Empire relied on the former land of Persia to fight against the Tang Dynasty's vassal states in Central Asia. It would retreat after the fight, and would run away after the robbery, which gave the Tang Dynasty a headache.

Now, Muragu finally came up with a little practical thing.

"It's okay, you can come." Wu Zetian waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Is the Turks strong? Is the territory of thousands of miles still destroyed by the Heavenly Kingdom? And the Huns were even more defeated by our ancestors. We don't care. We can defeat the Huns and destroy the Turks. What's the point of just being a big food?"

He spoke a lot and looked indifferent. Li Longji saw it and kept nodding, constantly praising: "What is a woman who is as good as a man? That's it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers were very excited and praised them in unison.

"Your Majesty, my country is willing to lose 10,000 jewellery to your country every year." Muragu increased the price again.

Arab jewelry was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Ten thousand jewelry was worth a lot of money, and at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was worth. This was not particularly large, but it was quite good.

"The great special investment of the country and land in the Celestial Empire is rich, so how can it be just ten thousand jewelry?" Wu Zetian sneered and said, "You want to use jewelry to buy some time to free up your hands to quell the rebellion in the former Persian land and then deal with the Celestial Empire. I am right?"

The problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. Although ten thousand jewelry is valuable, it is worth it if you can buy the time that the Arab Empire needs the most. As long as the Tang Dynasty does not interfere in Persian affairs, the Arab Empire will be able to fight the rebellion with all its might and wait until the rear stabilizes before dealing with the Tang Dynasty.

These ten thousand jewels are worth it.

However, Wu Zetian was extremely smart and could see through the conspiracy of the Arab Empire at a glance.

"What a shrewd woman." Muragu praised in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my country is willing to give up a hundred miles." Muragu once again raised the price.

"The Turkic territory has been included in the Heavenly Dynasty. What is the size of a mere hundred miles?" Wu Zetian said with a cold look on his face, "You are optimistic about your land, and I will send troops to take it!"
