Chapter 343 Datang Discord
The sky was dark, and Ming Jing entered Baiqi.
The night watchman greeted him with a smile, "It's so late, did Ming Zhongguan lose something?"
Ming Jing glanced at him, "I lost a piece of gold, you go to my room to look for it."
This was a rare opportunity to flatter, and the night watchman went happily.
Ming Jing turned around and waved...
Jia Ping'an is very grateful that he drove away Baodong, otherwise everyone's eyes would be lost.
Who did he see?
Damn it!
It turned out to be Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu is Li Zhi's man, at this time, he came to Baiqi to meet Ming Jing.
What is this trying to do?
Could it be that the two of them are spies?
Jia Ping'an felt wrong.
If it is a spy, Shen Qiu doesn't have to expose it.
Ming Jing led Shen Qiu to the outside of the temporary cell.
Shen Qiu looked at her...
Ming Jing knew that this meant she wanted to avoid it, so she disappeared around the corner.
But a pair of black eyes stared at this place in the utility room.
The big show is on stage!
These top secrets made Master Jia very excited.
"Mr. Zheng, we, Shen Qiu."
"Shen Zhongguan..."
"Don't worry, I can go out tomorrow morning."
"good."
Shen Qiu hesitated, "You can..."
Have you leaked the secret?
Zheng Yuandong felt that this was a humiliation to himself, "Nothing. I kept my mouth shut."
"Understood."
Sure enough, he is a hero.
Shen Qiu turned around and went back.
Jia Ping crossed his legs and sat cross-legged. He rested his chin on his hands, thinking about it carefully.
Zheng Yuandong is Li Zhi's man!
This point is a certainty.
He was by Changsun Wuji's side, and kept sending back the news from there, making Li Zhi ready.
This is a senior undercover agent.
If Changsun Wuji found out, his back would be wet with sweat, and he would definitely rebel.
That's why Li Zhi hurriedly sent Shen Qiu here.
Li Zhi has a set!
…
"Your Majesty, Zheng Yuandong is safe and tight-lipped."
"good."
Li Zhi didn't know whether to be happy or angry, so he got up and went to Wu Mei's side.
Wu Mei murmured while hugging her baby, looking a little more gentle by the candlelight.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Mei looked up and saw Li Zhi outside the door.
"Your Majesty."
Wu Mei wanted to get up, Li Zhi said: "You and I, husband and wife, don't need to do this."
couple!
Wu Mei was startled, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty can eat?"
"Yes, Gongzhong learned how to make stir-fry dishes in Chang'an cafeteria. After all, it doesn't have that smell, but it's much better than before."
"How about... the concubine asked Uncle Wu Yang to bring in a cook?"
Li Zhi took a look at the child, and sat opposite Wu Mei, "That's not necessary. If you want to be greedy, I have plenty of ways. Let's see for now."
The conversation just now was more like the atmosphere of a folk couple.
Wu Mei was a little uneasy.
Li Zhi noticed it, so he relaxed his body, and said comfortably: "You have to know, the late emperor had many heirs, and I was inconspicuous among them. Neither the late emperor nor the elder brothers took me seriously."
This is Little Transparent!
Wu Mei didn't know why he said this to herself.
Is it uncomfortable?
"At that time, I was thinking about when I could go to Shiyi, so that I could avoid my brothers."
Xiao Transparent was bullied by her brothers and could only avoid it. Wu Mei didn't like this kind of mentality.
She raised her head and said: "If you are a concubine, you must stay in the palace and fight those brothers."
This is the Golden Saint.
Li Zhi smiled, "Yes! I was a little weaker then."
Emperor admits to being weak...
Wu Mei thinks this guy is going to do something to her?
She glanced at Li Zhi, her body was still a little weak due to childbirth, but if she did it, she could strangle Li Zhi half to death before she died.
"Why do you have to?"
Li Zhi's eyes were full of clarity. When the emperor showed his true colors, timidity was just a mask.
Wu Mei suddenly realized that if Li Zhi was cowardly, no matter how stupid the late emperor was, he would not have given him the crown prince, even if it had been given to Li Ke.
Is this person pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and laughed.
"Hahahaha!" Li Zhi also laughed.
"Your Majesty's concubines are so miserable."
Li Zhi likes this woman who doesn't hide her joys, anger, sorrows and joys, "It's been quite difficult since I became the throne, and I've been in this situation after many twists and turns, but the future is still gloomy. I'm not a faint king, not a mediocre king, do you understand?"
He reaches out to...
Wu Mei raised her head, with excitement in her eyes.
She held out her hand.
Li Zhi held her hand, "Follow me."
Wu Mei nodded.
…
Jia Ping'an returned home and felt that he had really seen a ghost.
Zheng Yuandong turned out to be Li Zhi's man, and the emperor's methods sent chills down the spine.
Thinking that even Ming Jing belongs to him, Jia Ping'an is at peace.
This emperor has superb means, but he looks timid to the outside world, which is to fool the family.
The next morning, Changsun Wuji sent someone over.
"Uncle Wuyang loves so much, so there must be retribution."
The embarrassed Zheng Yuandong cupped his hands, with a bold expression on his face as if he would meet again.
"hehe!"
You **** undercover agent!
Ming Jing sighed: "It's a pity, if I can stay for a few more days, I might not be able to ask anything."
hehe!
Jia Ping'an is still haha.
Ming Jing took a look at him, and subconsciously lowered her head to look at her fierceness.
"Behold?"
Master Jia said solemnly: "Bao Dong and the others know that you are a woman."
In order to pretend to be a man, Ming Jing's fiend was strangled flat by a cloth belt.
"The blood does not circulate, it is not good."
Ming Jing was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Jia Pingan pointed to his finger, "Use a thread to strangle your finger and hold it for 20 breaths."
Ming Jing went back and did as expected.
Looking at the swollen fingers, feeling numb, Ming Jing gritted her teeth and said, "That apprentice!"
But she hesitated.
Do you want to relax?
"Uncle Wuyang, news from Tubo."
Ming Jing hurried out, Jia Pingan stood in the yard to receive the message, saw her rubbing her fingers, and suggested: "Let's relax."
This woman is the emperor's spy, so he will not be polite.
Ming Jing blushed with embarrassment.
"During the civil strife in Tubo, Lu Dongzan beheaded two ministers, and the remnants of more than 300 people went all the way to Longyou, and now they are brought back."
This is a big deal.
When the news entered the palace, Li Zhi immediately summoned the prime ministers.
"Lu Dongzan perverted..."
Liu Shi's words were impassioned.
"I think it's best to just sit back and watch."
"..."
"The envoy of Lu Dongzan has come."
Along with the news came Lu Dongzan's envoy.
Li Zhi said indifferently: "I won't see him anymore."
Li Ji said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty does not need to see him, a rebellious minister and traitor."
The face of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is valuable, and such people are not qualified to see him.
Li Zhi took the news with great interest, "Someone here has suggested that Lu Dongzan must pretend to be loyal at this moment, and if he doesn't, he might even ask for Zanpu's seal."
"Lu Dongzan is fierce, pretending to be kind is fine. Zanpu is young, so I ask him to be named... His powerful minister may not last long. Isn't he afraid of being liquidated?"
Changsun Wuji spoke.
As a veteran of political struggles, he knows that Lu Dongzan will end up weak, "Such suggestions need not be ignored."
Li Zhi glanced at him, "It's Uncle Wu Yang's suggestion."
Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched, revealing a rare fierce light.
Zheng Yuandong was taken away by Baiqi, and he was tortured and bruised all over his body. If he hadn't been planning a big event, Jia Pingan would have to be impeached by the court.
"Uncle Wuyang... He doesn't understand such court battles." Liu Shi, as the vanguard, slapped him with a slap.
Li Zhi smiled, "It's so good to see."
Li Ji said indifferently: "Uncle Wu Yang said something at the beginning, saying that you are not young when you are ambitious. Liu Xiang feels that he doesn't understand these things, but I understand?"
"British Lord, this is for Uncle Wu Yang, regardless of right or wrong." Liu Shi was provocative as soon as he said it.
You, Li Ji, have no position to argue for Jia Pingan.
Li Ji said gently: "We'll wait and see."
If the old man doesn’t beep with you, you will be slapped in the face later.
Liu Shi sneered.
Li Zhi prefers such scenes, but Li Ji's combat effectiveness is obviously not as good as Xu Jingzong's.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss his confidant deeply.
…
Lu Dongzan's envoy collapsed as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. The doctor immediately diagnosed and treated him, saying that he was exhausted physically and mentally.
How stressful is this?
Thinking that Lu Dongzan is in dire straits now, Jia Ping'an couldn't help feeling very relieved.
"You said...why did this emissary come here?" Ming Jing was very skilled, but knew nothing about foreign affairs.
"I don't know."
Ming Jing looked at Jia Ping'an's back, wishing he could slap it away!
"Uncle Wuyang, Xu Shangshu is going to see the envoy, and His Majesty orders you to follow."
Old Xu, the Minister of Rites, actually dispatched himself?
Jia Ping'an turned around, saw Ming Jing raised his hand, and shook it, "Turn back and tell the brothers to keep an eye on the messenger."
Later, Jia Ping'an and Xu Jingzong cordially met with the envoy in the Ministry of Rites.
Old Xu looks pious, and at first glance he is the image of a gentleman from the Shang Kingdom.
The envoy was disheartened, "There are rebels in the country, Zanpu ordered the grand minister to sweep them away, and now they have calmed down."
You continue to make up!
Hell only when it subsides.
"Zanpu hopes to be canonized by Datang. If possible, he is willing to marry Princess Datang as his wife."
Xu Jingzong asked: "Is Zanpu okay now?"
The envoy smiled and said: "Okay, the Prime Minister teaches Zanpu every day, and it is very enjoyable."
This is more shameless than the old man.
"The canonization matter will be discussed again."
Xu Jingzong glanced at Jia Pingan, and he also knew what Liu Shi said. Now that Lu Dongzan really asked for the canonization for the young Zanpu, Liu Shi might not be able to keep his face.
"Those rebels rebelled with the excuse that Zanpu has no canonization. Tubo and Datang have been at peace for many years. Don't Datang want to see the people of Tubo live and work in peace and contentment?"
"Of course I want to." Jia Pingan interjected: "The relationship between Datang and Tubo has a long history, and Datang hopes that Tubo..."
A series of diplomatic rhetoric that no one in Datang has ever heard sprang out.
The envoy was happy at first, but he could think about it later.
Damn it!
None of these words are useful.
After going out, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go back."
He couldn't wait to see Liu Shi's face.
When he reported later, Xu Jingzong stared at Liu Shi, "The envoy said that he hoped that His Majesty could confer Zanpu and marry him."
Yu Seok's face darkened in an instant.
but!
It doesn't matter.
The old man can bear it!
Li Ji is not the kind of person who will never let go.
But he forgot about Xu Jingzong.
"Your Majesty, I heard someone say that it is impossible for Tubo to seek canonization. This is a great misjudgment."
This is true.
Li Zhi also felt that Lao Xu had grown up again.
"Zanpu asked for canonization, which shows that Lu Dongzan has no intention of usurping the throne. If it is judged according to that..." The treacherous minister Xu looked at Liu Shi.
What to hide?
I am talking about you!
"The Great Tang will think that Lu Dongzan will usurp the throne, so there will be turmoil in Tubo, and the Tang can put aside the threat of Tubo. In this way, when Tubo suddenly strikes, Tang is caught off guard, and Tuyuhun may be kept? Once Tubo wins Tuyuhun, the Northwest of the Tang Dynasty is about to die!"
His voice gradually became sharper, "When I was the governor of Yongzhou, I was in charge of the affairs of Yongzhou. Ask if you don't understand, and learn if you don't understand. Don't dare to delay your majesty's trust..."
Yu Seok's face darkened.
—What are you pretending to know, Liu Shi? You don't understand diplomacy but want to speak, almost misleading His Majesty, what should you do?
The consequences of diplomatic misjudgment can be mild or severe, and Liu Shi's is considered serious.
He wanted to fool around, but Old Xu came.
"Your Majesty, I...are guilty."
Chen Wang is the prince, and Liu Shi is the princeling. Now he cherishes feathers more and more, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon.
But at this moment, he was forced to bow his head.
here you go.
Li Zhi then forgave him tolerantly.
The monarch and his ministers are 'happy and harmonious'.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Jia Pingan, who was pretending to be honest, "Your Majesty, Lu Dongzan's move is a guilty conscience, which shows that he has no ability to usurp the throne, and it can be deduced that there are many people in Tubo who oppose him now. So , The veteran thought that Lu Dongzan would compromise and lead Tubo as a powerful minister, and then the civil strife in Tubo would gradually subside."
It really is Changsun Wuji!
The trend of Tubo in history is exactly like this.
The founding of the Tang Dynasty gathered a group of tempered civil servants and military generals. During this period, the foreigners who provoked the Tang Dynasty were all seeking their own death.
Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Tell the messenger, canonization... yes."
Since Lu Dongzan wanted to compromise, Datang gave Zanpu a title, so that the Tubo people felt that they were inferior to Datang.
This is the embryonic form of psychological warfare.
"And kiss..."
Just talking about getting married, Jia Pingan, who pretended to be honest, cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, getting married... absolutely impossible!"
"Why?"
Nowadays, few people really take women seriously. To put it bluntly, they treat women as tools in Han and Tang dynasties.
Tool man!
Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty, peace should be won by men, and women in the Tang Dynasty should not marry those outsiders!"
Liu Xun found an opportunity, and said with a smile: "After the marriage, the princess can still influence the country subtly."
Jia Ping'an raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you use Datang's swords and guns to influence the country?"
Liu Shi sneered and said, "Kinship has existed since ancient times..."
"But this is Datang!"
Jia Ping'an was angry, "The Turks are domineering, and the soldiers are approaching the Weishui River. The Tang Dynasty relied on marriage in exchange for peace? No way! The first emperor tried his best, and after a few years, the army attacked, chasing death and chasing the north..."
Li Zhi clenched his fists!
"Korea is domineering and keeps invading the Northeast. Now Goryeo is dormant, but relying on marriage?" Jia Pingan stepped forward, "No! The first emperor led the conquest, and under the persecution of the army, Goryeo bowed his head. Then the Tang Dynasty continued to harass Goryeo, and Goryeo suffered unspeakably. That's the honor."
He said seriously: "Is this related to reconciliation?"
He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the glory of the Tang Dynasty should be captured by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, not by the distant marriage of the women of the Tang Dynasty!"
Boom!
Liu Shi only felt his head explode, and subconsciously said: "It's ridiculous, getting close can ease the relationship between the two parties!"
"Datang's swords and guns can do the same!" Jia Ping'an never felt that making love was of any use.
Even in the later generations, European countries also like to make friends, but they still beat people's brains into dog brains when fighting, what kind of relatives... wool!
And pro-marriage is just a means of easing.
But Datang is the center of the world at this moment, leading in technology and in all walks of life.
Why do you want to get married?
Jia Ping'an is as tough as a rock, "A marriage will only make foreigners feel that Tang is weak, but a sword can make them sober."
"Let's discuss this matter again."
Li Zhiyun calmly dissipated his anger.
The ministers go out.
Outside the hall, Liu Shi sneered and said, "Could it be possible that the Tang Dynasty can continue to fight?"
"Why not?" Jia Pingan said: "If you don't accept it, then fight! Until they bow their heads! Is it useful to make peace between Tang Dynasty and Tubo? Once the first emperor died, Tubo would stare at it, most likely to test... Not to mention the other side, if Tuyuhun is strong , is marriage useful? The Tuyuhun Society swept Longyou."
He said firmly: "In a certain view, there is no friendship between countries, the only thing is interest. Make love with each other, and let the eggs of Datang men be gone!"
Liu Shi pointed at him, his face flushed.
Xu Jingzong laughed and said, "Vulgar!"
But judging by his appearance, it is clear that he is not happy.
—Yu Seok, where is your egg?
Eldest Sun Wuji was silent.
Yuwen Festival was silent.
Even Li Ji was silent.
Fight and fight, but at such times, disputes should be put aside.
"Man!" Changsun Wuji recalled how high-spirited he was when he was young.
These words were brought to Li Zhi.
"Boy!"
Li Zhi said: "The glory of the Tang Dynasty should be guarded by the men of the Tang Dynasty, not the women!"
He pondered.
"Your Majesty, Lu Guogong and others are asking to see you."
Li Zhi nodded.
Cheng Zhijie and others came later.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Yang said that the glory of the Tang Dynasty should be guarded by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the veteran deeply agrees. The marriage... the veteran thinks it should be abandoned!"
Cheng Zhijie spoke in a very eloquent manner.
Liang Jianfang was more direct, pulled his clothes away, and exposed his chest, "Your Majesty, those people often say that marriage can bring foreigners back to their hearts, but why don't they let their daughters go? Let women marry far away to make profits for the Tang Dynasty. Humiliation to the men of the Tang Dynasty! If there is any grievance, the veteran is willing to fight hard, but he is unwilling to watch the women of the Tang Dynasty get married, it is shameful!"
Cheng Zhijie was agitated by these words, "Your Majesty is worried about foreign races domineering? The veterans are here, and thousands of soldiers are here. Your Majesty can ask those soldiers, are you afraid of foreign races?"
"Man from Tang Dynasty, never afraid of aliens!"
"Your Majesty!"
Several veterans saluted.
This is forcing the emperor to make a decision.
But Li Zhi laughed.
"You all thought that I would agree to a marriage?"
Li Zhi got up and walked down.
"I know the heart of Qing and others."
Looking at these veterans, Li Zhi said decisively: "Tell the soldiers, Datang...do not make peace!"
…
Ask for votes...ask for votes!
