Chapter 480 Isn’t that something only mantises can do?
This year's Tang Dynasty is very peaceful. Judging from the situation reported by various places, this year's Datang will usher in a bumper harvest.
Xu Jingzong said affectionately: "Since your majesty ascended the throne, the weather has been smooth everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. This bumper harvest is God's favor for your majesty. Long live your majesty!"
Shame!
It is impossible for the important minister to say something about Long Live Your Majesty, it is not shameful enough!
But Xu Jingzong never cared about these things, he just said what he had to say, and what he said was so natural, as if Li Zhi could really live forever.
The confidant's flattery put Li Zhi in a good mood, but the emperor had to show his humble side. He shook his head, "This is God's favor for Datang, and it is also the result of Zhuqing's dedicated assistance."
This is the human language!
Changsun Wuji and others immediately began to chant the Holy Spirit, and the hall was full of joy for a while.
"Your Majesty."
A servant came to report the matter.
The rare harmony between monarch and minister was broken, Li Zhi frowned slightly.
Wang Zhongliang went over and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The servant said: "Baiqi has something urgent to report."
Wang Zhongliang turned around, "Your Majesty, Baiqi has something important to report."
Li Zhi nodded, and then said with a smile: "Did you find the thief?"
There are three groups of thieves in the mountain, one group was created by Liu Xi and others to slander Wu Mei, that one is not counted; one group was strangled by Baiqi last time; the third group is Li Ke's people.
Thinking that one of the thieves possessed Bo Lang's level of airdrop ability, Li Zhi was also quite afraid. If Baiqi can strangle him...
Then I will give Jia Pingan a marriage!
Baiqi was brought in, seeing his long-distance journey, Changsun Wuji subconsciously asked, "Is it news from Liaodong?"
Baiqi nodded, and the monarch and ministers were all in awe.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong is still the same. In addition, the brothers of Silla have also sent news that the Silla Kingdom is recruiting strong men to practice..."
"It really is wolfish ambition!"
Li Zhi's face was cold, "Is it said that Goryeo invaded Silla?"
Baiqi raised his head and said in surprise: "No, it's just an apology for the mistake in the last message. Last time, Silla High School said that Goryeo invaded, but there was no subsequent war... But Baekje and Silla have been harassing each other all the year round."
Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "Your Majesty, when Baekje and Silla joined forces to deal with Goryeo, Silla suddenly stabbed Baekje in the back. The two countries are deadly enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation..."
"It deserves it!" Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's judgment, Silla must want to use Datang. Once Datang attacks Goryeo and fights together, Silla will have both sides."
"His heart can be punished!" Chu Suiliang sneered, "Jin Chunqiu is really cunning."
Liang Jianfang coughed dryly, "Your Majesty, Xiao Jia... Uncle Wuyang returned from his mission last time, not to say that the former Silla was actually controlled by Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin, and the Queen is just a puppet. Don’t take it as usual, be careful of being used by him.”
The subsequent development of the situation fell into Jin Chunqiu's calculations, but there were also factors of luck. If it weren't for the Tubo fighting in the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty being passive in every possible way, Jin Chunqiu's calculations would only bring disaster to Silla.
So this is Shiya Mingya!
But now it is different.
Li Zhihan frowned, "The Silla envoy..."
Chu Suiliang stood up, "Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an has a way of deceiving people. Let him go, and I think it will convince the Silla envoys."
This mischievous suggestion was unanimously approved.
"So, let him negotiate."
…
"I never lie to anyone!" Jia Pingan said with an innocent face, "General, whose words are these?"
"Chu Suiliang."
Liang Jianfang wondered: "I have been fighting for half my life, and I have been able to get to this point because of my honesty, and I have also influenced you for a long time, why is it still the same?"
"Dead wood can't be carved!" Cheng Zhijie got up, "Let's go, go drink!"
The two old hooligans patted their buttocks and left.
Cheng Da praised: "Uncle Wuyang, this shows that His Majesty values it!"
"Cunning!"
Ming Jing muttered, and after Jia Ping'an glanced over, he sighed: "The machine changes."
Look, this is the profoundness of Chinese characters, the same behavior, explained in different languages, the results are very different.
Jia Ping'an immediately went to Honglu Temple.
"Xiao Jia!"
Zhu Tao was very kind when he saw him, "Come on, I just received the news that you have been sent to Silla and know the people of Silla well, so I asked you to negotiate with the envoys of Silla. What is it? Charter?"
Jia Pingan went in, "Datang has been very difficult recently."
All the old ghosts of Honglu Temple were present, and they all stroked their beards and smiled, "Yes! It's been too difficult for Tang Dynasty this year."
Zhu Tao sat down, and someone said: "Shaoqing, after all, the envoy can see everything in good weather along the way, if he..."
Zhu Tao raised his hand, "You don't have to say, I know."
Understanding Wang smiled, "Seeing is one thing, but how big is Tang Dynasty? What the envoy sees is just a corner."
Sure enough, all diplomats have a talent for playing hooligans.
Someone muttered, "Uncle Wuyang is very powerful, but we can do well in this matter too?"
It is a bit uncomfortable for the credit to be taken by outsiders.
This is human nature.
Zhu Tao didn't suppress it either, "I invited the envoy."
The envoy came, Zhu Tao pointed to Jia Pingan, "This is Uncle Wuyang."
The envoy's eyes were filled with joy, "Uncle Wuyang was very kind when he was sent to Silla. I didn't expect to meet him in Datang. It's a great honor."
"When the envoy comes, can Jin Tejin explain?"
Datang has not yet canonized Jin Chunqiu as the king of Silla, which is also a mission of the envoy's trip.
The envoy said: "Jin Tejin always remembers Chang'an, saying that the years in Chang'an will be unforgettable for the rest of his life. If it is not possible, he would like to settle in Chang'an. It is better to be His Majesty's servant than to fight against those thieves in Silla... Uncle Wuyang, Goryeo has teamed up with Baekje, and the Mohe people are eyeing Silla."
"Isn't it a big fight?" Jia Ping'an was a little curious.
"They are constantly harassing." The envoy said firmly: "Then there will be a large-scale attack. This has been verified in countless previous confrontations."
The words of this product have changed!
When he was negotiating with Honglu Temple, he said that the Korean army had invaded, and then he said that he was repelled...
This chameleon-like performance has only one purpose, to let the Tang Dynasty send troops and fight the Koreans to death.
Such a simple method made Datang, who wanted to destroy Goryeo, unable to refuse, and this was also the beginning of the subsequent tragedy.
"Harassment... I remember that the harassment between Silla and Baekje has never stopped?"
Don't try to fool me!
Jia Pingan made an unswerving gesture.
Before departure, Jin Chunqiu also talked about Jia Ping'an, the only worry was the fight: the Queen collapsed, and her cronies blamed Jia Pingan for being a broom star, so they assembled to raid the Tang Dynasty Mission, while Jin Chunqiu and Jin Yuxin sat by and watched In the end, the **** was killed by the Datang Mission.
Jin Chunqiu’s mistake was that he didn’t know that the mission had Li Jingye as a weapon, and it turned out that it was the Silla people who made a fool of themselves.
Seeing Jia Pingan at this moment, the envoy thought of Jin Chunqiu's explanation, got up and said, "Jin Tejin feels sorry for the last incident."
"What's up?"
Jia Ping'an looked confused.
Did he really forget?
The envoy thinks not.
That is to let me speak out.
Sure enough, it is sharp!
The envoy was very tangled and said: "Last time, the Queen's cronies did not know the truth, so they took action... Jin Tejin has always felt guilty for not being able to stop it in time."
Jin Chunqiu was watching a play at that time!
What a guilty conscience!
Jia Ping'an laughed and said, "Why did the messenger come from afar?"
"The coalition forces of Koryo are approaching the border of Silla, and I implore Datang to send troops to rescue."
I believe in your evil!
"Invasion? Fight?"
Jia Pingan stared at the envoy, "If there is a big fight, Datang can send troops to Silla by boat."
do you dare?
This is drastic.
Didn’t you beep beep that Silla was taken care of by Goryeo?
True or False?
True, the Tang Dynasty immediately floated away, the army landed in Silla, and directly fought side by side with Silla.
Fake!
Zhu Tao calmly said: "If it is false, the dignity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be insulted!"
If it is false, Silla will be happy for itself.
The envoy's eyelids twitched, "Korea...is showing off its power at the border, and is constantly being harassed."
Zhu Tao glanced at the officials of Honglu Temple.
Look, this is deception, Xiao Jia first deceived the messenger, and then forced...
Do you dare to bet?
Look, the messenger obviously didn't dare, and withered.
"Since there is no invasion, why all the fanfare?"
Jia Ping'an suddenly changed color.
What happens to the messenger?
After being questioned almost persecuted by Jia Pingan, he still bowed his head.
The envoy raised his head, his eyes were piercing, "Silla was attacked by Goryeo and Baekje, and it was in a difficult situation. However, the people of Silla are unyielding..."
Is this going to turn heads?
Everyone was shocked.
No one knows what will happen after losing this restraining tool.
"Korea sent envoys to Silla many times, saying that as long as Silla bowed its head and attached itself to Goryeo, Goryeo would not only be able to coexist with Silla, but also give some money and food every year."
This is a threat.
Zhu Tao changed color slightly and became angry.
But at this time, you have to judge the attitude of the other party, whether it is decisive or blackmailing.
No one can figure it out.
Only Jia Pingan.
Jin Chunqiu's sole purpose is to build a huge Silla, for which he needs to introduce Datang, destroy Goryeo, and then Silla can display it.
Silla's closeness to Datang was just a helpless move. Under the persecution of Goryeo, the only way to survive was to call Datang's father. What are you going to say about loyalty, it's a big joke.
So say that Silla bowed to Goryeo, come on, this can fool everyone in the world, but it can't fool Jia Ping'an.
Zhu Tao glanced at Jia Pingan, wanting to take over the following matters.
Understanding Wang’s kindness, Jia Ping’an accepted it heartily, but shook his head slightly, and then…
Boom!
Jia Pingan clapped the table, stood up suddenly, looked down at the envoy, and said coldly: "Does Jin Chunqiu want to swing between Datang and Goryeo? As a courtier of Datang, he must bow his head to Datang, or... Just bow your head to Tang's swords and guns. Since today's envoy talked about bowing to Goryeo, then..."
Jia Pingan pointed outside, "The two countries are fighting each other, please don't kill them!"
This is to turn faces!
No matter what the officials of Honglu Temple thought, they all sneered at the messenger.
It doesn't matter how much you complain about Jia Ping'an afterwards, you must set up a platform for him at this moment!
This is a diplomatic rule: even if it is wrong, it cannot be dismantled, otherwise the opponent will seize the opportunity and continue to persecute.
I just made a threat!
It’s just a threat, you can say something to ease it, and then we will talk slowly, at least to get benefits.
But you turned the table directly.
This is nothing to talk about!
this!
The messenger is angry!
But in Jin Chunqiu's explanation, there is no option to turn against Datang.
Could Jia Pingan be bluffing?
The envoy glanced at Jia Pingan.
Jia Pingan said to Zhu Tao: "Zhu Shaoqing, I have a lot to do over there, so I'm going back now. Please tell your majesty that Silla wants to seek refuge with the Koreans, so I think it's up to them."
The people of Silla followed up and they were actually watching a drama, watching Datang and Goryeo fight, and then Goryeo was destroyed, and they were ready to move.
Xiao Jia is so tough, is it okay?
Zhu Tao took a deep breath, "You don't have to say it, I know, just go!"
Knowing the king's posture is impeccable.
Jia Ping'an walked out.
One step!
Two steps!
The envoy remained silent.
Damn it!
Jia Ping'an murmured in his heart, wondering if Jin Chunqiu really dared to turn against Datang?
Three steps!
The front door is the gate.
After going out, even if the messenger speaks out, he will not turn back.
In the diplomacy of major powers, reputation and dignity come first!
the fourth step…
The face of the envoy was covered with sweat. In just that moment, he experienced various inner struggles, and the last thing he remembered was Jin Chunqiu's words.
—Silla needs Datang!
The envoy turned back, "Uncle Wuyang!"
Jia Pingan turned around with a look of astonishment, "What else is there for the messenger?"
The envoy took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Silla will always be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty!"
Sure enough, the upper echelons of Silla were ambitious.
Jia Pingan glanced at Zhu Tao.
Knowing King smiled slightly, "So, what else can the messenger do?"
The envoy said: "Foreign ministers are here to implore Datang to confer Jin Tejin."
As soon as the envoy left, Zhu Tao looked at Jia Ping'an, thinking that this young man would really deceive him, and he decisively asked him to reward him!
Why did such a boy go to Baiqi?
This is a waste!
Zhu Tao immediately entered the palace.
"how?"
Li Zhi waited for Zhu Tao to report the results of the exchange with the envoy.
"Your Majesty!"
Understanding Wang complained as soon as he opened his mouth, "There are so many people who are loyal to His Majesty, and there are so many people who can control the Hundred Horses, but there are very few who are suitable for Honglu Temple. Your Majesty abandoned Honglu Temple for the sake of Hundred Horses, which is unfair!"
Li Zhi was stunned, "But what happened? That's right, what I'm worried about is that Jia Ping'an is too tough, and the envoy will turn his face away when he becomes angry from embarrassment. Although Datang is not afraid, it is not beautiful after all."
Xiao Jia forced the perpetrator to this point, if it were me, I would definitely turn my face. But the envoy actually held back, which shows Jin Chunqiu's ambition.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Wuyang had previously negotiated with the Silla envoy, and he was tough all the way. In the end, the envoy threatened that Silla could take refuge in Goryeo if necessary."
"Datang will not accept the threat!" Li Zhi looked indifferent, "It's all about fighting to the end!"
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhu Tao thought you didn't have to say it, I know, but this is the emperor! He could only hold back, "Uncle Wuyang immediately raised the case, saying that since Silla claimed to be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, it must either bow to the Tang Dynasty or bow to the swords and guns of the Datang."
Wang Zhongliang only felt his blood boiling, and couldn't help blurting out, "Go to Zhujing!"
Li Zhi glanced at him, and for the first time, he didn't point to the side, "So, it's just what I want."
"The envoy of Silla immediately bowed his head."
Li Zhi was stunned, and laughed, "It turned out to be a stern look? This shows that Jin Chunqiu has two ends of the head, and he wants to make a profit on both sides. Silla...can't be trusted!"
Your Majesty... wise!
Zhu Tao looked at the emperor, thinking that he was indeed taught by the late emperor himself, such vision is rare.
Li Zhi asked suddenly: "Why is Jia Pingan sure that the Silla envoy will not turn his face?"
Jia Ping'an almost pointed his nose at Silla for being shameless. As an envoy, he should fight for his reasons.
I do not know either!
It was the first time for the King of Understanding to feel that he had encountered something he did not understand. "Your Majesty, Uncle Wuyang has always said that Silla has ulterior motives. The Tang Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong to see the right timing. Don't go to the fire for the sake of Silla."
Silla, Jin Chunqiu... Li Zhi calculated the situation, "If Jin Chunqiu dares to turn his face, so what if I destroy Silla?"
Thumbs up!
Zhu Tao felt that such an environment was most suitable for Honglu Temple to carry out its work.
As soon as he looked up, Li Zhi found that Zhu Tao was deep in thought, and asked, "What is Zhu Qing thinking about?"
Zhu Tao raised his head, "Your Majesty, I have thought about several people, and I think they will have no problem leading a hundred cavalry..."
Wang Zhongliang had black lines on his face.
That is Baiqi, who should be in command can only be decided by the emperor, unless he asks you, otherwise your suggestion is ulterior motives.
Li Zhi changed color, then pointed at Zhu Tao and said with a smile: "But still thinking about getting Jia Ping'an to Honglu Temple?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhu Tao said cheekily, "Actually, I can lead a hundred cavalry, but Your Majesty will definitely not give up. In this case, why not release Jia Ping'an too. I'm not bragging, I only need to take him for a year. This young minister can let him do it."
Zhu Tao's repeated suggestions to get Jia Ping'an to Honglu Temple, once or twice is enough, and Li Zhi couldn't help but grow curious.
"He really can accomplish a lot in Honglu Temple?"
In Li Zhi's view, Jia Pingan's biggest feature in diplomacy is his boldness. When I went to Liaodong, I almost killed the Japanese envoy in Koryo, and even made friends with the Baekje envoy.
Later in Silla, he killed the queen in a single meeting, and immediately beheaded some of the queen's confidantes outside the posthouse.
This person's diplomatic style is bold and aggressive, but Li Zhi has always been worried that one day the ship will capsize, so he doesn't even consider Zhu Tao's suggestion.
"Your Majesty, it's not that you can accomplish a lot. I think Uncle Wuyang is naturally suitable for Honglu Temple."
Li Zhi pondered, and said for a while: "I will consider it."
Why!
Zhu Tao's regretful sigh made Wang Zhongliang laugh.
The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple persevered in persuading the emperor many times, which shows that his appreciation for Jia Ping'an is beyond words.
"Reward Jia Ping'an with 100,000 yuan, and..."
Li Zhi thought for a while, "Wu Mei probably prepared a lot of things for him, and here I will give... two good knives."
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhongliang looked troubled.
Jia Ping'an is getting married!
You are welcome to see you off, and send Heng Dao.
What are those two women doing with the horizontal knife?
Killed Jia Pingan on the wedding night?
Isn’t that what mantises can do?
Li Zhi also felt a little boring, but after thinking about it, he laughed: "In the future, I can't say that I can have a son alone, so it can be used."
The reward was sent to Wu Mei, and she said in amazement: "Is this a reward from His Majesty to Ping An? But Ping An is not a general with two swords, one is enough."
We also feel wrong! But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to object... The servant coughed dryly, "Your Majesty said, reward... to those two women."
Wu Mei was stunned, and then laughed out loud holding her slightly protruding belly.
…
Good night!
